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.

  • 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?

  • 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)?

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

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

  • 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. 

  • Turning off the Ken Burns Effect

    How do I shut off the Ken Burns Effect to a specific image? I tried using it (I hated it) now I want to go back to just displaying the image. Do I need to delete from the timeline and start over?

    In the inspector reset the Crop parameter.

  • 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 turn OFF the Ken Burns effect in slideshows--it defaults there no matter if selected or not.

    The Ken Burns zoom and pan appears on every slide in every slide show - despite the Ken Burns box NOT ever being checked.
    Any ideas ? Thanks.

    Thanks, Leonie.  I didn't realize that slideshows had themes - but nevermind.  While searching for it, I found the settings control that I had overlooked (or had been hidden) before.  It fixed the problem.  Appreciate your help.

  • How can I turn off the phone saying "Call from" #/name when getting incoming call.

    How can I turn off the phone saying "Call from" #/name when getting incoming call before the ring tone starts?  I have a LG accolade

    I recommend checking your  prompts and alerts to turn this feature off. This may be you "Call Connect" or "Readout" alerts. Listed below are steps to update this feature. 
    With the flip open, press the Voice Command Key (on the left side of the phone).The Voice Commands feature has several settings which allow you to customize how you want to use it. Access Voice Commands, then press the Right Soft Key[Settings]. Your choices are below:
    -Confirm Choices--- Automatic/Always Confirm/ Never Confirm
    -Sensitivity--- Control the sensitivity as More Sensitive/ Automatic/Less Sensitive
    -Adapt Voice ---If the phone often asks you to repeat voice command,train the phone to recognize your voice patterns.Train Words/ Train Digits
    Prompts ---Mode/ Audio Playback/Timeout
    * For Mode, set Prompts/ Readout+ Alerts/ Readout/ Tones Only.
    * For Audio Playback, set Speakerphone or Earpiece.
    * For Timeout, set 5 seconds or 10seconds.

  • Can you Turn on the Ken Burns Motion Effect in IDVD?

    I see several transition effects in iDVD, but I don't see the Ken Burns Pan Motion effect as seen in iPhoto. This effect makes a slide show almost look like a video. Great stuff. Is there a way to select Ken Burns Motion effect if you created a slide show in iDVD?
    I can create a slide show in iPhoto with the Ken Burn effect and share it with iDVD. When I do this, it creates a new project in iDVD. If I have several slide shows in iPhoto and send them to iDVD, they create their separate projects. Is there a way to combine separate projects in iDVD. I've looked around the Forum and can't seem to find an answer. Thanks for your help to a new beginner.

    You have to select each album and click on the PLAY button. This brings up a dialogue with all the settings. You don't actually have to play the slideshow, just click on "Save Settings".
    I've since found out that you can shift-select multiple albums at and change their settings in one go. Wish I'd worked that one out before!
    Like I said before: a central preferences setting for base slideshow settings would be nice!

  • Can I fine tune the Ken Burns effect?

    I'm using iPhoto 6 for the first time - making a slide show. I turned off the default Ken Burns effect for all slides, but I'm manually setting the KB effect on some slides. I like the ability to specify the starting view and the ending view - such as starting the view with a close-up of a bottle of wine, then zooming back to show the table full of food and the people around it, but....
    Is it possible to "fine tune" the KB effect as follows: Have it show the starting view for a specified period of time (e.g. one second), then specify the transition time (e.g. 3 seconds), then have it show the final view for a specified period of time (e.g. 2 seconds).
    I.e., I'd like to set up the KB effect so that it "lingers" on the starting view and ending view for a time period that I specify. Is this possible? (If not, this would be a great feature to add in a future release.)

    You can kinda do that in iPhoto. It's possible to set individual slide display times with the Adjust pane in the slideshow mode if you don't have the Fit slideshow to Music option selected. You can also set transitions and speed of transition.
    To get music to end at the end you will have to estimate the time of the slideshow and use music with a time close to that time. I use a blank, black slide at the end of my slideshow so that the music will end to a blank screen if I miss the timing a bit instead of starting over.
    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) 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 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: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • How can I turn off the Moving/Zoom effect on my photod?

    When i insert a photo in my project the image keeps moving up and down and zooming in. I want it to stay still.
    How do I turn this effect off?
    My iMovie version is 10.0.6

    Hello Victor,
    What you are referring to is the Ken Burns effect. To turn that off, take a look at the article below and change the view from Ken Burns to either Cropped to Fill or Fit and it will not do the zoom in and out that you are referring to.

  • Dock question:  Can I turn off the expansion/condensing effects of Fan and Grid view?

    Hi!
    Can I turn off the Dock menu expansion/condensing animations related to Fan and Grid view (and the condensing effect of List view)?  I find the expansion/condensing animations slow and detracting from an efficient workflow.  I would rather have menus pop up immediately so I can instinctively move the mouse cursor where I can anticipate a file to be located once grid/fan view window launches, rather than have to track the expansion animation with the mouse cursor so that I can select the desired file once it lands in its fixed position.
    Is there any known backdoor way to cease these showboating animations?
    For the dock to be such a major addition to the Mac OS (when compared to OS 9), I am surprised that there isn't greater customization for it.  Speaking of which, why can't we have the option of having more than one dock, for example?  I would like to have one mounted to the bottom of my screen for applications, but also have one on the left of my screen for commonly-accessed files and folders.
    I am all for stock settings that help to streamline features for users as a baseline, but the more tweakable options the better.  I pay a premium for Apple products; who are they to tell me I can have only one dock?!  ;p
    I've taken a look at Docker and Deeper, but neither delivered the goods.  Thanks so much!
    P.S.  I am still using Snow Leopard.  I haven't heard of new dock options for Lion, so please clarify if I am missing out on a Lion innovation.
    Thanks again!

    Take a look at Secrets, OnyX, or Tinker Tools. All of those have various undocumented preference settings that affect various animations.
