IMovie 10.0.4 Ken Burns effect missing

Using iMovie 10.0.4 on an iMac running 10.9.    I selected Adjust, Crop and only have options to rotate or crop.  I tried this on various clips - new and old.  No options

Is the photo you're trying to apply the Ken Burns effect to in a Project? It won't work if it's just in an Event.

  • IMovie for iPhone 4 - Ken Burns Effect Issue

    If I move the timeline to the start of my clip, the Ken Burns Start button is not available but the End button is. Start shows up at the end of my clips.
    When at the start of the clip then start should be available and at the end of the clip then End should be available. By it being reversed, this causes me to make my effects backwards of how I intended them to be.
    Is this a software bug or do I just not understand how to work this editor?

  • IMovie isn't rendering Ken Burns Effect

    I am trying to apply the Burns effect to a photo in iMovie. The clip appears in the timeline but there is no red bar advancing along the bottom of the clip indicating that the effect is being rendered. Any idea what is going on here?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Is the project stored on an external drive? If so, check to be sure the drive uses the Mac OS Extended disk format. When not that format iMovie can't reliably save to the disk, so rendered clips aren't saved as they should be.

    If that's not the problem, rule out third-party QuickTime add-ons and iMovie plug-ins that may be messing up QuickTime.

  • That darn Ken Burns effect

    I started a thread in the iPhoto forum, and got my answer. However, it opened up a new question which led me here. This was my original question: "I am losing it here trying to simply drag a photo from iPhoto into iMovie without it coming in with that #$@**Ken Burns effect. I cannot find any way to turn it off, except in a slide show. I don't have or want a slideshow. I just want to use still photos in iMovie. (Both are version 6, running OS 10.4)" As I said, I did get my answer, but someone also said this: "iPhoto just gives you the Picture. It's iMovie that supplies the ken Burns effect."
    So now my question is, what can I do on the iMovie side to NOT apply the effect when dragging photos in from iPhoto?
    Right now I am having to select each photo in iPhoto, in the media bin, uncheck Ken Burns, save it, then import it.
    Any help? Thanks.
    Regards

    Ben
    That was brilliant! Shout it to the world. Not only did each subsequently dragged photo hold the effect of the first, but I had the ability to move the content of the photo within itself (as though the pan and zoom effect was there but fixed as I want it to be).
    Great. Thanks.

  • 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.)

  • Always same ken burns effect in imovie HD 6?

    Hi,
    When creating a slideshow in iPhoto, the app appropriately randomizes the speed and direction of the Ken Burns Effect that it applies to the various pics. When adding photos to iMovie '08, it does the same (as far as I can tell).
    But when adding a bunch of photos in iMovie HD 6, it seems to just apply the same exact effect to every photo. Boring. Am I missing something, or is there some clever way to tell it to mix it up a bit? Or am I left to manually go into each photo to adjust the Ken Burns magic? Not something I'd want to do to a couple hundred pictures. Thanks.

    .. ehm? iM is an editor.. any video imported can be edited.. so, if you create your 1.5h slideshow in iPhoto, for sure, you can split that beast into as many parts as you need.. clips are not 'solid'.
    set playhead at wanted position, press simultanously the keys Apple-T.. as spliT ... presto! two clips, allowing inserting a video, another still, whatever..
    Of course, I hadn't thought that far ahead but that should work just fine. Thanks!
    Sort of limits my creativity and options ...
    .. hm.. a machine generated, 'randomly' done KB is no 'creativity', imho; doing it manually is my understanding of 'options' ..
    I've got to disagree on this one. IMHO, applying Ken Burns to a couple hundred photos is exactly what the Mac should be doing for me. Of course, I will need to go and tweak some here and there, but if I was forced to do every one manually, then I think that would be a weakness in the app. Having it take care of lighter fare like that frees time to make more important creative decisions around duration, color, audio, video, etc. Your tips should have me on the way to doing that, so thanks again.

  • 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?

  • Ken Burns Effects Don't Work in iMovie HD (I've Tried Everything)

    Version:
    OS X 10.4.10
    iMovie 6
    *Hardware 1:*
    PowerMac G4 Dual 500 Mhz, 1GB RAM, Internal 40GB HDD and Internal 320 GB HDD
    *Hardware 2:*
    PowerBook G4 500 Mhz, 512MB RAM, Internal 20 GB HDD
    Problem:
    This problem occurs on both of my G4 Macs. In iMovie HD, I imported a JPEG from iPhoto with Ken Burns Effects on. The still photo appeared properly in the Clip Viewer initially, but appeared as a black screen in the iMovie Monitor. Once the imported photo with the Ken Burns Effects completed rendering, the clip in the Clip Viewer turned white and appeared as a white screen in the iMovie Monitor. I have tried almost everything I read about in these forums in search of a resolution.
    *Resolutions that Failed:*
    1. The photo is definitely a .jpg
    2. Tried importing the actual .jpg file as well as importing from iPhoto.
    3. QuickTime and all other Software updates have been applied and are running on the most current release.
    4. Repaired disk permissions.
    5. Created, saved and manipulated the iMovie file in the standard Movie Folder on my main internal hard drive. (i.e. – I'm not saving to an external HDD)
    6. Created, saved and manipulated the iMovie file in the standard Movie Folder on my secondary internal hard drive. (i.e. – I'm not saving to an external HDD)
    7. Deleted the 'mac.imovie.plist' file and created a new one.
    8. Attempted to do apply the effects logged on as a different user.
    9. Saved file, restarted machine and reopened numerous times but the problem persists.
    10. Tried a lower resolution photo and the problem persists.
    11. Attempted to import all the photos I planned to use, added transitions to all of the clips and rendered completely. Saved the file, restarted the machine and reopened the file with no change to the blank clips.
    12. The iMovie trash emptying issue did nothing to help.
    *Additional Notes:*
    1. The problem is confined to the Ken Burns Effects in iMovie. I am able to work with true video clips without incident.
    2. Ken Burns Effects operate properly in iPhoto 6 using the slideshow functionality.
    3. I would use iPhoto, but it seems like it would be easier to line up specific sections of an audio track with certain Ken Burns Effects in iMovie. (i.e. – a crescendo at the 16 second mark of the audio track coincides with the end of a 'zoom' on a photo, transition from second 16-17 second mark, new photo at the 17 second mark and pan left to right from 17 second mark to the 25 second mark.) Point is that it lines up precisely with the markers on the audio track, which seems far easier to do in iMovie than iPhoto.
    4. Please help me, I'm going nuts troubleshooting this bug! I can't find any resolution that works.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hmmm. You seem to have tried, without success, most if not all of the methods of resolving a Ken Burns black screen issue.
    Some thoughts that have occurred to me:
    1. Perhaps your G4 500mhz Mac is not fast enough. I think that the minimum spec for iLife '06 is 733mhz. Might have nothing to do with this problem, but I just mention it.
    2. Are the sizes of your images too large, as can happen with some of these new high def cameras? iMovie has trouble working with very large images.
    3. Do you have any 3rd pary plug-ins, particularly in Quick Time, that could be causing a conflict?
    4. Do you have enough disk space for the project to operate?
    5. Have you done a recent Quick Time update? Some users have reported a problem with that.
    6. From your post, it appears that you have continuously worked within the same iMovie file that exhibits the Ken Burns problem. If this is true, try creating a new iMovie project and experimenting with a few clips to see if the problem persists in the new project.
    Ken Burns issues can be very frustrating. I think that you will need to keep trying things until something works. Wish I could be more help, but perhaps some of the tech experts on this forum will have some workable suggestions.
    There is an application called Photo to Movie that reputedly has a far better Ken Burns type of effect. If you can't resolve your problem, you might try downloading that app. I believe that it offers a demo download.
    Good luck.

  • 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!
    Thanks!

    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.

  • Remove ken burns effect from photos in iMovie HD

    I am trying to burn iphotos slideshows to DVD like I used to do before newer versions stopped supporting iDVD. I was advised on this board to use iMovie HD and it seems to be working and I am pleased with the integration with iDVD.  But when I used the ken burns effect on some of my slides I got a shimmering effect. So I tried to get rid of it. In iMovie HD, you are supposed to slect the media tab and click on "show Photo settings" This gives you a window where you can adjust the Kne Burns setting or uncheck the box. When I uncheck the box, nothing happens. Whther I press "update" or not, the effect is still there. This is a 1000-slide project. I hope I don't have to start over.
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for the response, butt.. this is iMovieHD (or version 6). There is no crop or fit tool in this version (as far as I can tell). There is a "crop" choice in the Edit pulldown menu, but I think that's for clips. And this verison doesn't give you boxes for the Ken Burns effect. These things are in later versions of iMOvie, but those versions don't integrate as well with iDVD which is most important to me.

  • Ken Burns effect same in all iMovie 3.slideshow photos

    I am working on a slideshow using iMovie 3.0.3. I am using iMovie because I have more than 99 photos, and would like the slideshow divided into chapters for iDVD viewing and navigation, and because I would like to add specific music to each individual chapter or slideshow, but have them play contiguously.
    I have created separate albums in iPhoto for each chapter of my slideshow in iMovie. When I import all photos in an album from iPhoto with the Ken Burns effect box turned on and click Apply, each photo is imported, but the panning and zooming is the same on each photo, unlike when playing an iPhoto slideshow where the panning and zooming is automatically randomly applied to the photos in the slideshow. Am I doing something wrong and is there any way to correct this problem without manually setting the pan and zoom of each photo individually? Would a newer version of iMovie correct the problem?
    Thanks,
    Jennifer
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hello Jennifer,
    the behaviour of iMovie is quite normal as you will have to create a different setting for each picture in order to have a different effect upon import. up to version 5 (iMovie HD) this remains the same - and i'm quite sure also for iM 6, but haven't upgraded yet.
    you have another possibility though: export your slideshow with random KB effects from iPhoto as QT movie and then import to iMovie
    hope this helps

  • Ken Burns effect won't work with imovie 6.0.3

    I'm hopeful to find a way to use the Ken Burns effect in my 6.0.3 HD imovie. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I can't get it to work.

    Did you empty iMovie's trash after creating your clips? Did you previously apply the Ken Burns effect to that particular clip and now want to change the settings?
    If you already had the clip/photo imported using the Ken Burns effect, and then emptied the trash, you cannot redo the KB settings. It is a bug in iMovie. You will get the black frame when you try. The only thing you can do is reimport the photo.
    Here is an explanation of the problem (Thanks to Matti Haveri) :http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/iMovieHD_6_bugs.html#stillupdate
