Can't turn off Ken Burns effect

Hi
doing a movie of some photos and can't seem to turn off the ken burns effect when i uncheck the box and click update. Any ideas? Thanks

Two things occur to me.
First, you might just need to delete preferences and do a permissions repair. To delete preferences, shut down iMovie and trash the file com.apple.iMovie.plist located in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. On relaunch iMovie will replace the deleted .plist file. Before relaunching, do a permissions repair using the Disk Utility app on your Mac. Close down all running programs. Open Disk Utility and select your hard drive icon displayed in the left hand pane, and then click on Repair Permissions.
Second, there is a bug in iM6 that prevents any editing of a photo to which the Ken Burns effect has been applied if the trash has been emptied at any time after the effect had been applied. The solution there is to reimport the photo, and don't empty the project trash until after your project is completed.

  • Can I turn off Ken Burns Effect in iMovie for iPad 2?

    Can I turn it off, and adjust a default time for pictures when added to timeline?

    You can't turn it off the Ken Burns effect, but if you set the same start and end positions for zoom and pan then it won't appear to do anything.
    5.0 seconds seems to be the default display time for each picture. I can't find an option to change that anywhere.

  • How to turn off Ken Burns Effect

    Hello
    working with iMovie HD 6.0.4
    I do have iMovie 11, but can't figure out how to manage more than one soundtrack (Movie and Music).
    So back to iMovie HD 6.
    I searched the Help section regarding turning off Ken Burns Effect.
    This is what it says:
    To remove the pan and zoom effect from a photo in your movie:
    Select the image in the clip viewer or timeline viewer.
    Click the Media button, click Photos at the top of the Media pane, and then click Show Photo Settings.
    In the Photo Settings window, deselect the Ken Burns Effect checkbox.
    Click Apply.
    BUT: here is NO checkbox to deselect Ken Burns Effect.
    Anybody know what happened?
    The reason I want to get rid of it is that zooming makes stills unwatchable. I it barely ok in iPhoto but in iMovie, the resolution is totally messed up.
    It would be great if somebody has an idea to turn off Ken Burns Effect.
    Thank you
    Christian

    Go to File/Project Properties and you can define the default behavior for adding stills to your project.
    After clicking File/Project Properties, you will click on the Timing Tab. There you will see how to set the default still photo duration and the initial photo placement.
    You an set it as Ken Burns, Fit, or Crop. You can always change it later in the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns tools, but if you are importing a lot, it makes sense to set the default as the one you are most likely to need.

  • How can I turn off Ken Berns effect in slide shows

    How can I turn off Ken Berns effect as the default in Aperture slide shows.

    Depending on what theme you choose (this would be for the "Classic" theme), it should be under the "Crop" setting, which will be a choice in Default Settings when you're in your slideshow, on the right side of the window. For crop choose "Fit in Frame" or "Fill Frame" as opposed to "Ken Burns." You can also do this for individual slides, turn it on or off...
    Hope that helps.

  • 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.

  • Turn off Ken Burns Effect?

    Hi - does anyone know how to turn off the ken burns effect? i see the option to do so in project preferences -- but it is only applying to the first photo in the series and I'd like to shut it off for all... can anyone help?
    thanks!!!

    Hi Rachel,
    Select (highlight with the yellow border) all the photos on which you wish to turn off Ken Burns. Now, on any of the photos click on the small gear icon and select "Cropping, Ken Burns & Rotation" - be careful not to deselect the photos, click just on the icon. In the Viewer select "Fit" (in the top left corner of the Viewer). Click "Done" (top right corner). Now all the selected photos will fit in the frame, with no motion applied to them.
    The Project Properties selection (in the Menu) only applies to photos when you first add them to your project. So, it's best to set your options there when you start a new project and before adding content to the project.

  • 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."

  • 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".

  • How can I turn off the transition effect in Spaces?  - It's making me sick!

    How can I turn off the transition effect in Spaces?
    Can I do this through the terminal somehow?
    I have three monitors and the transition effect is giving me motion sickness.

    Hi,
    I'm afraid there does not appear to be anyway of turning off the sliding transition in spaces. There's no option to turn it off or to change it to another effect.
    I use spaces all the time as I have a 15" MacBook Pro and it's incredibly useful to have a screen dedicated to e-mail and IM and another for Safari and two other screens for applications. There's just not enough screen real estate for all those windows. I think Spaces is one of the most useful user features of Mac OS X.
    Maybe we should send in a feature request to Apple? I used to use some third party software to do the same before Spaces was released and it had a selection of transitions or none at all.
    Personally, I'm now used to the transitions but as I don't have multiple monitors perhaps I'm being spared the motion sickness!
    Good luck.

  • Turning off Ken Burns?

    Hi
    All my slideshows play with the Ken Burns affect whether the 'Ken Burns Effect' is checked or not.
    I'm getting sick of it as with it on there's so much of one's photos that gets chopped off.
    Can anyone please tell me how I turn it off?
    thanks

  • While working in iMovie... how do I shut-off Ken Burn effect ?

    I using an iMac wit Lion and trying to develop a movie of photos and music combined.   When creating the project it automatically turn on Ken Burns and now half my photos are chopped off heads.   How do I turn KB off???

    Click on a photo in  your project. Then click the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns tool in the middle toolbar. You can choose Crop, which will cut off the sides to make it fit in the frame (but you can choose the rectangle that shows). You can choose FIT which will show the whole photo by adding letterboxing. Or you can choose Ken Burns and set the beginning and ending rectangle.
    If you would like to set a default for all future photos that you add to this project, click FILE/PROJECT PROPERTIES. This choose FIT, CROP, or Ken Burns for Initial Photo Placement.

  • 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.

  • I want to turn off ken burns off in my entire project!

    Im making a stop motion video and have over 500 photos in my project and i dont feel like clicking on each one than fit is there a faster way???/

    From iMovie's menu, choose "Edit > Select ⇒ Photos". All photos in the timeline will now be highlighted.
    Now follow this procedure:
    On one of the highlighted photos, click on the small gear icon with the down pointing arrow
    Select "Cropping, Ken Burns & Rotation" from the pop-up list
    In the Viewer, in the top left corner, select Fit.
    All photos will now remain still when played back in the timeline, that is, the Ken Burns effect will be removed
    For future projects, after first creating a new project and before adding any photos, in iMovie's menu select "File > Project Properties", then for "Initial Photo Placement" choose "Fit In Frame". iMovie's default setting is "Ken Burns", that's why you need to change the default when first starting a project if you prefer a different setting, such as "Fit" or "Crop".
    DSfilms5 did mention Project Properties in the post above. I thought I should explain this further, and also assist you with the method required to fix the photos already in the project. Changing the settings in Project Properties will not change the settings for the existing photos, only the new photos added to the project.
