Can I crop an image then apply the Ken Burns effect?

I shot a panoramic still with the iOS6 on my iPhone 4S.  I guess because I didn't hold it steady there are white boundries on the top and bottom.  I would like to crop these pieces out and then apply the Ken Burns effect. 

Crop the image in Preview or iPhoto.

  • Can I create a keyboard command for the Ken Burns effect?

    Friends,
    I am creating a short video that consists of about 40 stills and a few video clips.  For each of the stills I want to create a Ken Burns effect.  I know that there is a keyboard command to open the crop tool.  Can I create a keyboard command that opens the Ken Burns editor?  I guess the broader question is whether I can create a macro that combines a keystroke and one or more mouse clicks?
    Thanks!
    Steve

    The Keyboard-shortcuts-editor
    ⌥ - ⌘ - K
    doesn't list the 'Ken Burns'-effect as 'shortcutable' …
    And I doubt, that even Automator
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2488?viewlocale=en_US
    would createany useful 'shortcuts':
    Each picture is different - so, how should a 'standardised' KB work?
    What does work indeed , is copy/paste of Attributes:
    create your KB for clip#1
    hit cmd-c
    select clip#2 (or many) hit ⇧-⌘-V and select the 'crop' attributes ...

  • How do you turn off the Ken Burns effect?

    I have students who are using iMovie to create animations. We can't get iMovie to NOT apply the Ken Burns effect to the still images they are making and importing. How do we turn this "feature" off?

    Are you talking about iMovie for iOS?
    I will assume you are as this is the iOS forum.
    You cannot turn this off.
    iMovie iOS is not the app you should use to make animations.
    I suggest you have a look in the AppStore for a better app, there are a few that are better suited to make video from still frames.
    Better yet do it on a computer, you will have many more options.
    But again iMovie Mac is not the best app to do this.
    QuickTime Pro actually has better importing of image sequences the iMovie.

  • Cant turn off the ken burns effect

    The ken burns effect (why is that on by default for crissakes?) cannot be tuned off!!!! I have about 10 images in a movie made up of about 100 still images on which the ken burns effect cannot be turned off. I tried unchecking the ken burns check box & hitting the update button, but it immediately turns itself back on!! Tis is with iMovie 3, and as i said, it affects only the first 10 or so images in this particular project.

    I know, sometimes it feels like Ken Burns has a mind of its own. It WILL do what you want, but first you have to figure out its rules.
    The most important is that all of the Ken Burns settings, the KB checkbox, zoom, pan and duration are controlled by the LAST imported clip you made, or a previously-imported clip you clicked on. THAT's what sets the default setting for your next import(s). (A very nice feature, by the way, for it lets you apply the Ken Burns settings of one clip to the next photos you import. You don't have to reconfigure settings each time.)
    That also means that when you uncheck the KB checkbox that won't "stick". When you click on some other clip it may change.
    So when updating an existing clip, the trick is to select the clip, THEN adjust the Ken Burns settings, THEN Update the clip.
    A complicating factor is that previously-imported photos to which special effects or other editing has been applied are no longer considered Ken Burns clips, so clicking on them doesn't have the same result.
    So pay close attention to what you click on, and even closer attention to whether or not there is a clip selected or an image selected in the Photos pane selected. iMovie will select a photo on its own when you haven't selected something.
    It works like you want, but first you have to see that what it does is you want.

  • 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 can I turn off the ken burns effect on iMovie? If I crop the picture it still persists!

    I cannot turn off ken burns on iMovie for the life of me! Everyone is telling me to fit the photo or stop it, which I have done. However, when cropped the ken burns effect is still there in full force!!! What can I do to turn off this dreadful effect?

  • Is it possible to undo the Ken Burns effect on all photos at once in iMovie, rather than clicking "crop" and "fit" on each individual photo?

    Is it possible to undo the Ken Burns effect on all photos at once in iMovie, rather than clicking "crop" and "fit" on each individual photo?

    Hey Villiam,  Kevin is referring to setting a movement on a photo setting keyframes (like zoom out to in), right-clicking on Motion, and choose save as preset.  This will put that movement into your presets folder under Effects.  I am going to try this on my next montage and see if I can find some efficiencies.  Thanks Kevin, that was a great tip!!! 
    Also thanks to Jim.  I spent like 30 min looking at all the keyboard shortcuts.  It's a little overwhelming to establish a solid shortcut format that a team of editors can learn and use.  I'm going to be trying the FCP short cuts, then go back to the default.  It looks like the PR default has a lot of existing and helpful shortcuts assigned already.  It's just going to take getting used to a new platform. 
    I'm still looking for tools and/or methods to allow an editor to assemble a 60 second montage with 10 photos, VO and music in 30 minutes.  It's going to be a challenge but I think it's possible with the right innovative process.  I'll still challenge anyone to find a way to quickly assemble a montage in an assembly line or template-based fashion using Adobe Premiere CC where there's on-screen text, advanced transitions, timed to VO, etc. 
    I think I'm dreaming for a tool to automatically do this within Premiere, while I think the answer for now might just be customizing motion presets and creating a favorites folder of transitions that can be dragged onto each clip.  I'll see if there’s a way to apply a set of transitions or motion presets to a series of photos on the timeline opposed to doing it one by one.  I can see this solution being important as video montages are becoming more popular in our industry, and the faster we can make them using a professional software package like Premiere the more prosperous we will be. 

  • Selecting photo then clicking "Fit" does NOT turn off the Ken Burns effect.

    Trying to wean from iMovieHD.  I'm having trouble mastering what seems to be more limited Ken Burns effect functionality in iMovie11.   I don't seem to have the range, say, left-to-right, as I did in either iPhoto or in iMovie HD.
    So, I figured for now I'd turn off the Ken Burns effect on all the stills in this project.  I've tried selecting one photo, getting into the Fit/Crop/KB effect viewer, then clicking Fit, then Done.  But the photo keeps the KB effect that had been applied to it.
    I tried changing all photos in Preferences and that didn't change anything either. 
    Hopefully I'm just missing something?  Thanks for any help, everybody...

    Nevermind.  Got it.  As I'd hoped, user error.

  • Can I undo the Ken Burns effect for all clips at once (instead of pulling up each clip individually)?

    Yes, you can select multiple clips then Adjust, Crop, click on "Fit".

  • I have an older version of imovie.  After I change the photos using the Ken Burns effect and save them, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' to change the zoom, the picture appears black and I can't change the zoom?

    I have a five year old version of imovie that generally works fine.  However, when I add a photo using the 'Ken Burns' effect then save the movie, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' the picture appears black and I cannot change the zoom.  Any suggestions?

    Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
    Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
    See here:
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
    Let us know how that works for you.

  • Can I turn off the Ken Burns effect from all stills at once?

    I am using iMovie 09.  I am creating a slideshow.  I want to turn off the Ken Burns effect from all stills.  Is there a way to do this in one operation?
    Mary Lou

    Yes. Select one still. Open the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool on the middle Toolbar. Set it to FIT (for letterboxing) or to CROP (for it to fill the screen, but cut off the top and bottom). This will turn off Ken Burns.
    Now select the photo you just adjusted and EDIT/COPY (or Command-C).
    Now click EDIT/SELECT ALL (or Command-A) to select all photos.
    Finally, click EDIT/PASTE ADJUSTMENTS/CROP ADJUSTMENTS to apply to all photos.

  • Can't get rid of the Ken Burns Effect!!

    Not sure why, but when choose Show Photo info when working on the clips in iMovieHD, in Preview, I don't see the photo. It's just black. I also can not get rid of the Ken Burns Effect. I click the X so it won't be applied to the photos, but it does it anyway. This is becoming very frustrating. Is there some sort of bug that's causing it to do this? I started over several times seeing if that would help, but it hasn't. Any suggestions??

  • Can I turn the Ken Burn Effect off when using the iMovie app on my iPod touch 5th generation?

    I have an iPod touch 5th generation and I'm trying to make a movie using the iMovie app. When I put an image on there it moves from side to side and zooms in and out. I believe this is called the "Ken Burn Effect". Is there any way that I can turn the Ken Burn Effect off without having to adjust the image position and zoom level to be the same for the start and end points?

    Hello MisfitxCaleb
    Unfortunately, the Ken Burns Effect cannot be turned off in iMovie for iOS. Like you mentioned above, having the photo at the same start and end point is the best way to make it appear as if it isn't moving/zooming.

  • Can you control the timing of the Ken Burns effect?

    I've been experimenting with the Ken Burns effect, using it on video clips.  By default, the KB effect starts at the beginning of the clip and finishes at the end. 
    I would like to the KB effect to start at a certain point in the clip and finish at a certain point in the clip, leaving the image zoomed-in (or zoomed-out) at whatever point I choose to stop the effect.  Is this possible?  If so, how?  I would think maybe I could do it with keyframes, but I can't figure out how.

    LOL--I just bought some more tutorials.  I will say that learning FCPX is vastly easier than trying to learn FCP6 was.  For me, there's no comparison.  Trying to learn FCP6 was horrible.  This is fun.  I know it doesn't have all the features many of the pros want, but it is fantastic for my needs.  It is much more intuitive, but I guess I still have to put more time in.
    I just tried your suggestion, and it works fine, thanks!  That's exactly what I was looking for.  I really didn't like trying to use Transform because I was having to expand the image beyond the frame size and it just seemed like a very crude way to do what I was trying to accomplish.
