Automatic Ken burns effect final cut pro x

I would like to apply the Ken Burns effect automatically, and with random motion, to all stills on the time line in Final Cut Pro X.
It is possible in iMovie, so I would expect that Final Cut Pro X would have it also as basic functionality, but I just can't seem to find out to do it.

You can turn it on in the crop function, either under the transform popup in the viewer or in the inspector.

Automatic Ken Burns Effect in iMovie HD 6.0

I'm creating a slideshow in iMovie HD 6.0. I've imported about 300 still photos from iPhoto. If you create a slideshow in iPhoto, it applies the Ken Burns effect to all the photos at once. And the effect varies from photo to photo. (It will zoom in, zoom out, move right, move left, etc.) In iMovie HD 6, it appears you have to apply the Ken Burns effect to each photo individually and the only effect I could see was a zoom in.
Similar to iPhoto, if possible in the my iMovie project: I want to apply a Ken Burns effect to all of them at once and (ii) I want the Ken Burns effect to vary from photo to photo.
Possible? How?

The remaining problem (which is the reason I ended up trying to do this in iMovie rather than iPhoto) is that I can't figure out a way to lay down audio tracks that tie to certain slides, fade in and out, etc.
Is there a way to do this in iPhoto that I didn't realize? Or is there a way to do it in iMovie to the imported iPhoto slideshow?
If you want to make these changes to the audio, that editing can be done in iMovie. However, you first should create the Quicktime movie of the slideshow without music. Then import this film into iMovie. You are then able to import your music and do the editing to get the results you want. I have used this method on a project I am currently working on.
I have a question for Rich839. Could you explain what you mean by "Full Quality" Quicktime movie? I want to be sure that I didn't overlook anything.

How to remove automatic ken burns effect in iMovie '13

I am currently doing a stop-amimation using imovie '13 (10.0.2).
When I move photos into the movie sequence, they automacitcl have ken burns applyed.
Obviosly this is bad for a stop-animation, I need the whole photo and for it not to move!
how to I remove it? please help!

Select project and click on Settings above the viewer. Against "Photos placement" choose "Fit" or "Crop" rather than "Zoom". This will prevent KB effect on new photos that are added. Exisiting ones you will have to change individually (or possibly copy and paste into a new project with Fit or Crop set - not sure if this will work).

Turning off "Ken Burns" effect for SOME photos

I see that someone has asked a similar question in the past and told that it's not possible to turn off the Ken Burns effect for some photos, but I'm hoping someone has a workaround or there's a hack...
I've made a slideshow and got the idea to "tell the story" by creating some "title" images in Photoshop elements which I've placed in between a series of photos.
These are just black backgrounds with the title (e.g. "...and the party begins", "Family reunion" etc.) in big white letters. I'm very happy with that idea
I like the Ken Burns effect for the slideshow as it adds some semi-video "action" effect, but NOT on the titles. Having the Ken Burns effect there just looks stupid, so I would like to remove it for the titles alone.
I know I can do it the other way round (go to "Settings" for the Slideshow, deselect "Automatic Ken Burns effect", then manually add the effect for all the photos I want), but with a slideshow album that's going to take ages to do!!
Is there a better way?

Perhaps you're checking the KB button on the "main" menu for the slideshow. That actually changes only the setting for the image that is currently selected. Try using the "Settings" button and deselect the "Automatic KB effect."

Ken Burns Effect not working as expected.

Hi,
I have created a slideshow in iPhoto 08 and want to have all of the slides use the ken burns effect except the first one (i want this to be a 20 second title photo). To get this to work, i have disabled the Automatic Ken Burns effect in the settings menu and then clicked the Ken Burns checkbox in all of the photos from the second one onwards. Even with these checkboxes selected, the photos just stay still and the ken burns effect does not work. Am i going about this the wrong way?
Any ideas appreciated.
Joe.

I believe that if you do not use the automatic ken burns effect you need to set the effect for each photo - pick one or two and with the KB slider to the left set the view for the beginning photos and then slide the slider to the right and set the end view - then it will transition between those two (I'm thinking that you can turn auto automatic and override it for just the first slide by making the start and end the same so the transition does not really do anything
Try that first (it is easier )

IPhoto ver 5.0.4 "Transistions" How can I de-acativate 'Ken Burns' effect ?

I wish to achieve a classic 'dissolve cross-fade' between STATIC images (as was available in earlier versions of iPhoto).
How can I de-activate the 'Ken Burns' motion-graphic pan/zoom moves in version 5.0.4 ?
Thanks

Hi birdy,
For "on the fly" slideshows from an album or selection of images, uncheck the "Automatic Ken Burns effect" in the Slideshow menu window that pops up. Click the "save settings" button.
For Cinematic permanent slideshows that you created from an album or selection of images,
Click the settings icon and in the next window uncheck the "automatic Ken burns.

Ken burns effect won't work

hi everyone
i'm trying to export a slideshow into a quicktime movie maintaining the ken burns effect, but the quicktime movie file won't show the effect - even if in the slideshow settings the "automatic ken burns effect" is ticked on (when i watch the slideslow on the screen, before exporting it, the effect is there).
do you have any suggestions?
another question: can you recommend a picture size? the quicktime movie will be, together with a video created qith FCE, on a dvd.
thanks guys in advance

Did you try the other account approach that GLO suggested? That can tell you if it's a system wide issue or just one associated with your particular account.
What you should have is your Receipts folder, other that those two subfolders, are many .pkg files which represent software that has been installed on your Mac. Those packages tell the Software Update and other installers what version is already installed so it can decide if an update is required.
Have you tried using the Share->Send to iDVD menu option to get the slideshow into iDVD?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

How do I get photos to automatically have the ken burns effect in final cut?

New to Final Cut Pro X- would appreciate any help. I have several photos and want to apply the ken Burns effect, but when I select all and apply the effect, they all have the same movement. Is there a way to have the automatically have the ken burns effect such as in iMovie 11?
Thanks!
SJB

It's a few more steps. But you could create a zoom-in for a clip on your timeline, copy it and then select every other clip that you want to zoom in on, and go to Edit>Paste Effects. The KB effect will be applied to each of the selected clips. Then do a KB reverse zoom with the clip adjacent to the first clip you copied. Copy that and repeat the Paste Effects process for the alternate clips. Hope that's clear.

How come sometimes the Ken Burns effect allows you to edit the entire picture, and other times it automatically starts at a smaller section of the photo?

How come, in imovie, when adding the Ken Burns effect to a still photo, sometimes the phoo appears as the full size, and other times, the green and red ken burns boxes appear only on a smaller portion of the picture? I want to be able to Ken Burns a bigger chunk of a picture, but often times it is as if there is a pre-set for just how much the Ken Burns will cover.

Is it possible that the ones that have small boxes are in Portrait while the ones with large boxes are in Landscape?
If so, you can get bigger boxes on the Portrait ones by clicking "Allow Black" in iMovie 11. (iMovie 09 did not have this feature.)

Problems with Ken Burns effect

Having a very frustrating time trying to get a decent slideshow. Like the KB effect but when I play it back the images jerk and jump. Smoothness totally
gone. Strange thing is sometimes it is worse than others. Have tried closing all
other unnecessary programs to save RAM , etc...does not help. Sometimes it
looks ok played in iphoto but when I send to idvd the jerking is back. HELP.
When going through process have about 250MB free and 10 GB on disk.
Also when I export a slideshow (size-large 720X480)to Quicktime image
quality degrades considerably. All I want is a decent dvd copy of my honeymoon
pictures but can't seem to accomplish this. Am very disappointed at all the
grief involved in this...any help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings Old Toad.
It seems that a fair number of users have run into this same problem over recent months: namely, producing a slideshow with audio from iPhoto with the Ken Burns effect creates a "jerky" movie as a result. The advice I have seen is to either clean up your hard drive or get more memory. I consistently run into this problem even though I have a 1Ghz G4 iMac with 768MB main memory. I have tried this on my root drive with about 7GB available and on a firewire drive I have with ~30GB available space. I have also tried using Cache Out X to clean up caches and other various files, and still iPhoto produces jerky results.
The one workaround that has worked was to turn off audio. That seems to fix the problem, but I do want audio in these slideshows to put onto DVD. Others have suggested using iMovie to add the audio track, but reading in the output of iPhoto into iMovie seriously degrades the quality of the video -- not to mention that it is a very slow and tedious process to do this.
I would like to point out that this was not always the case. Unfortunately I cannot pinpoint the exact time when this started happening, but I could swear that I had been able to create slideshows in this manner before one of the many iPhoto upgrades I automatically received over the last year. I now have version 5.0.4.
Have you heard of anyone successfully fixing or working around this problem? I love my Mac...and this is one of the fundamental reasons I switched from Windows a few years ago was for the great photo tools. But now, without the ability to make DVDs the way I want, I am considering switching back .

Why is ken burns effect not working on individual slides I have amended when sent to iDVD

When making a slideshow in iPhoto, I changed the zoom and scan on individual slides as instructed in the Help dialog; these showed perfectly when played. However, when I shared the slideshow to iDVD, those particular slides were just 'still' and there was no Ken Burns effect at all. Why did this happen?

The Slideshow was created in iPhoto and then shared to iDVD. The Ken Burns effect works on all the photos that used the basic "Ken Burns' setting. However, on some of the photos I tried to amend the scanning to zoom into particular faces or parts of the photo. When I played the slideshow in iPhoto, these amended photos were exactly as I wanted, but after 'sharing' it and viewing it in iDVD, those photos I had altered were 'frozen' and the Ken Burns effect did not work at all, neither the automatic version, nor the specific way I had set it. All the other photos still had the Ken Burns effect as expected. I am using iPhoto 11, 9.1.5, I haven't had this problem in the past.
If you have any ideas why this should have happened I'd be grateful.
Thanks

Ken Burns effect same in all iMovie 3.slideshow photos

I am working on a slideshow using iMovie 3.0.3. I am using iMovie because I have more than 99 photos, and would like the slideshow divided into chapters for iDVD viewing and navigation, and because I would like to add specific music to each individual chapter or slideshow, but have them play contiguously.
I have created separate albums in iPhoto for each chapter of my slideshow in iMovie. When I import all photos in an album from iPhoto with the Ken Burns effect box turned on and click Apply, each photo is imported, but the panning and zooming is the same on each photo, unlike when playing an iPhoto slideshow where the panning and zooming is automatically randomly applied to the photos in the slideshow. Am I doing something wrong and is there any way to correct this problem without manually setting the pan and zoom of each photo individually? Would a newer version of iMovie correct the problem?
Thanks,
Jennifer

Hello Jennifer,
the behaviour of iMovie is quite normal as you will have to create a different setting for each picture in order to have a different effect upon import. up to version 5 (iMovie HD) this remains the same - and i'm quite sure also for iM 6, but haven't upgraded yet.
you have another possibility though: export your slideshow with random KB effects from iPhoto as QT movie and then import to iMovie
hope this helps

Ken Burns effect--all or nothing

It seems that despite its promise, it is not possible to get KB effect in individual slides in a slideshow. I have Automatic Ken Burns turned off (settings), and I have checked individual KB (sometimes "start", sometimes "end". but when the slideshow runs, no KB effect (unless Automatice KB, which affects each slide).
BTW, I noticed this annoying (non)feature with iPhoto 06 as well, and was hoping for a fix!

message to self: Try reading the directions, dummy! There's nothing wrong with Ken Burns Effect when you do it right!
iPhoto Help showed me how to use KB effect. What a relief!
unrelated comment: Until I typed the last line, I hadn't seen how the "i" in iPhoto, iMac, etc reads as an inverted exclamation point. Subliminal marketing. That has probably been more obvious to Spanish users. ¿Right?

Quite urgent Ken Burns effect problem

I am working on a documentary (due tomorrow afternoon). This is a fulll length piece and has hundreds of photographs in it. The trouble is; all the photographs when they where imported automatically got the Ken Burns effect... I want to de-effect them. So I got to Media--Show photo settings and de-select the Ken Burns effect.
One some photographs, it works fine. But on others, I click on Show photo settings and it simply turns the screen to black, even if I select the photograph again.
This is a bit distressing as all the photographs have intense Ken Burns effect which cannot be for the final product. If I should be more detailed about what I am trying to say, please tell me. It actually is pretty urgent that I figure this out.
Thank you very much.

Have you emptied iMovie's trash? If so, you may experience a 'bug' in iMovie that will not allow you to change the settings of a clip that was imported with the KB effect. That is why you see the black screen. iMovie can no longer access the original photo's clip because it sent it to the trash. This is not a problem so long as you do not empty the trash. But, once emptied, the only way to fix it is to reimport the photo.
Here is a link to more discussion about it: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4289801&#4289801
and this link describes a better fix in case you are worried that you will inadvertently empty the trash:
