Idvd not capturing the ken burns or full picture view.

I am making a memorial video and have ken burns that are acutallly cutting out the focused object rather than zooming. I tried to burn standard and widescreen and nothing is correcting. Please advise

Q: ken burns that are acutallly cutting out the focused object rather than zooming.
A: Did you manually set / adjust the Zoom while using Ken Burns effect? (see links below to see how to perform this). Also apple's tutorials are worth watching for iPhoto, iMovie, and iDvd if you haven't yet done so.

What happened to the Ken Burns full screen screen saver options

What happened to the Ken Burns effect full screen option for screen saver in Mountain Lion. It's not the same as Lion. Actually it *****.

Submit bug reports to http://bugreporter.apple.com/ after signing for a free online developer account:

Or post to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ Hopefully someone who has played with the screen saver can tell you what is most like Lion's.

How to stop the ken burns effect on ipad and add only single photos

Hi. I would like to create a time lapse in iMovie. However i would like to add 1 picture (not automatically add 6 of the same image) at a time and not have the Ken Burns effect

you get better advice for 'iMovie for iOS' at this sub-board:

… this section is about iMovie for MacOS…

Importing photos & I dont want the ken burns effect

I want to import photos into imovie to make a slideshow like I used to in earlier versions of. However, when I import a photo now, it imports somewhat zoomed in and off center.
I do not use the Ken Burns effect, so it is not on.
Also I am doing a straight import from the folder. If I try this from iphoto the ken burns effect is turned off and I still have this problem.
Has anyone else experienced this with the new version of imovie?

Although it looks like a bug, Randy, it's actually not. It's how Ken Burns works in all versions of iMovie.
The Ken Burns checkbox ONLY controls whether or not the image is imported with an animated zoom or pan. The OTHER Ken Burns settings — the duration, the zoom and the pan — are ALWAYS in effect. Those settings affect the current import. And future imports too, until you change them.
If your image imports off center it's because the Ken Burns pan setting is currently set off center. To re-center it, turn ON the Ken Burns checkbox. Stop the preview. Click on the "Start" side of the Start/End thingy. Drag the zoom slider a bit to the right, then all the way left. Repeat for the End side of the thingy. Now the image is centered, and the zoom set to 1.00. Click Apply, so it sticks.
Notice you can drag the preview image off center. That's probably how it got changed in the first place. Usually one uses the zoom and pan in combination to crop an image. To show just the left side of the image, for example.

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.

Why don't pictures from a slideshow made in iPhoto and then burned on to a DVD in iDVD not use the full screen?

Why don't pictures from a slideshow made in iPhoto and then burned on to a DVD in iDVD not use the full screen?

All I want to do is send my family the pictures for them to be able to see them on most dvds and use manually control.
If you want set top DVD player playback, I suggest you create a a series of slideshows IN iDVD that each contain a MAXIMUM of 99 images. Do not create the slideshow in iPhoto or iMovie.
Is there an easier way to do this, bypassing iDVD?
Some DVD players will play a disc containing jpeg images

When i create a slideshow in iphoto using the ken burns effect it will not work in idvd. any tips please.

when i create a slideshow in iphoto with the ken burns effect it works fine. when i then transfer it to idvd it will not work. any tips please.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
how are you getting the slideshow into iDVD?
what size slideshow did you send to iDVD?
can you export the slideshow to the Desktop and play it with Quicktime Player there?
what fixes have you tried?
how much free space on your boot drive?
Here's how you should create and sent a slideshow to iDVD from iPhoto:
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

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!

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.

Why is the Ken Burns icon not present with the crop option on imovie10

I do not have a tab labeled Ken Burns after I enter the crop mode with imovie10.

The Ken Burns and other options will show up when you have a project defined and select a clip in the "timeline" of the project.

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.

Where are the Ken Burns controls?

I've got iPhoto 4.0.3. The iPhoto Help menu tells me to go to View>Thumbnails, but my View menu doesn't have Thumbnails as an option. Nevertheless, I can get a screen full of thumbnails when I click on the "Organise" button at the bottom of the iPhoto pane. The help menu says to select the photo you want (no problem there) and then to select the Ken Burns Effect box ( a screenshot of which is shown), but this box is nowhere to be seen. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Where is this durn Ken Burns thing?
Ken W.

Ken,
iPhoto 5 has features not available in iPhoto 4. If you want to use the Ken Burns effect, use iMovie to make a movie from photos in your iPhoto collection.
I don't know how you got the wrong Help document (maybe a foul up when your machine was built?), and I'm not sure of any way to fix it other than by deleting the errant document and running the iPhoto 4 installer again. You'll need to delete the iPhoto 5 Help document and any iPhoto-related ".pkg" files in the root level "Library >Receipts" folder before you reinstall. Everything else can stay.

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.)

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?

Using the Ken Burns effect in I Photo 5

The first time I worked on a slide show I was able to use the Ken Burns effect with no problems. Later on opening I Photo and clicking on slide show I no longer have the controls for the Ken Burns effect. There is just a blank space where they should be. Why did this happen ? How do I get the controls back?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Vernon

Vernon:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What may have happened is that one or more items within the iPhoto application package have had their permissions changed so you do not have access. Run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions. If that doesn't help try moving the application to the desktop and making a duplicate of it-select it and type Command-D. Now move the duplicated to the applications folder and rename to just iPhoto. Now see if the KB controls come back.
Next would be a reinstallation of iPhoto. You'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. Now reinstall iPhoto 5 and immediately update to the latest version. Then repair disk permissions.
Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.
