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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I want to turn my macbook air off. the shut down button already appeared but the mouse/cursor just hang and won't work. even after pressing the enter button to shut my mac off won't work. what will i do?

    i want to turn my macbook air off. the shut down button already appeared but the mouse/cursor just hang and won't work. even after pressing the enter button to shut my mac off won't work. what will i do?

    This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
    My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
    The mouse moves, but does not work.
    The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
    I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
    Firefox 18.4%
    Activity Monitor 0.9%
    Firefox Plugin 0.2%
    This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

  • How can I modify the Fit, Crop, or Ken Burns effect for the entire movie?

    How can I modify the Fit, Crop, or Ken Burns effect for the entire movie? I've been having to go through them all individually which takes forever.

    You could try  Edit > Select All  then click on the crop button and change the setting from Ken Burns to Fit.
    I find that this only works if you do not have the Automatic Cross Dissolve transitions in place.
    If you do, File > Project Theme and uncheck the transitions and remove them.
    After you have changed from Ken Burns to Fit, you can re-apply them.
    Easiest way in future is to set up your project (File > Project Properties) before you start adding photos.

  • How to turn off ken burns effect in new imovie

    The new iMovie---11--  how in the heck do I turn off the Ken Burns effect? Nothing against Mr Burns but.... I don't want everything to move!

  • 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'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.

  • 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
    ps - Photo 5.0.4

    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 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 do I get Ken Burns effect to pan entire photo?

    I created a new project and put several photos into it. I am trying to use the Ken Burns effect to pan left to right, and have made the starting box (green) fairly small, and the ending box (red) larger. It is doing what I want, but does not ever quite get to the end that I desire. It spends most of the time on the beginning part, and never shows the very far right corner of the photo. Is there a way to adjust it so I get the entire photo showing on the right side, and spend more time on that part?

    Hi Joe
    Think of iMovie and iDvd (both apps) as one candy bar ....the same candy bar. i-movie is like the candy bar itself whereas iDvd is just the outside paper wrapping. That's what apple means when it describes iDvd'08 and DVDSP as Apple's DVD Authoring tools (meaning we don't normally use DVD software to edit video per se; since the former is normally performed in the video editing app itself like iMovie or FCP/FCE). With this in mind....
    If you don't like my candy bar analogy, then take a look at OT's comments here in the following post to get an idea of what I'm talking about:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7101419&#7101419
    Adding Ken Burns effects essentially transforms a slideshow into a QT movie. Furthermore KB effects are normally added within iPhoto (or another 3rd party app like Photo to Movie) which then makes a QT file /movie that can be used within iDvd.
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    If you opt to use the slideshow features within iDvd; then it won't include KB effects also (to the best of my knowledge unless one adds video to the slideshow as well; a new option w/in iDvd'08).... however you can add transitions to those sides within iDvd's slideshow option, if this is what you wish to do.
    You might also want to consider this app as well:
    http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/overview/
    the quality is excellent and it comes highly recommended on this iDvd forum.
    Hope the above is helpful but if not just come on back.

  • I have a movie track and in that track I have a video loop of 10 seconds.  I want that video loop to repeat (loop) throughout the entire project.  How can I do this?  Right now there is a fades out white space after the video clip

    I am working on a Garage Band Podcast.  I have a 10 second video clip in the Movie track and want to loop it for the entire project.  How can I co this? 

    Sounds like maybe you're using the same channel strip on multiple tracks? Make sure you're creating a new software instrument channel strip for each independent instance of Ultrabeat you want to have. If you use the same CS, then all tracks that use it will have to have the same kit.
