IPhoto 9.5.1 stop Ken Burns effect

The "help" for iphoto 9.5.1 doesn't seem to help. How do I stop the Ken Burns effect? Also how do I change the size of the picture in full screen virw. In a slideshow I am losing some of the picture.

Is this slideshow directly from an album or in the slideshow mode?  What theme are you using?

  • IPhone4 to ATV2 slideshow - How do I stop Ken Burns effect?

    How can I turn off the Ken Burns effect during aiplay from an iPhone 4?
    Using the iPhone4 (iOS 5) to play a photo slideshow on the AppleTV (just upated) and I don't seem to be able to turn off the "Ken Burns" effect on the iPhone. The pictures are too zoomed and you cannot see the faces. However, when I play the same slideshow on the iPhone4 the effect is not there.
    So I am unsure if this an iPhone or AT2 issue, but I hope someone can help.
    Thanks

    Hi BobbyCo57,
    Thanks for helping but that option is not there, just the transition options (Disolve etc).
    This is what I can see from Photos, events, photo, play:
    Then when I enter "Transitions"
    Any other thoughts?
    Thanks

  • IPhoto 11 - Stopping the Ken Burns effect altogether

    I saw the reply about using Classic theme to stop Ken Burns effect in a particular slideshow but is there any way to stop the cursed effect across the whole of iPhoto? This and the playing of music ought to be settable as defaults in iPhoto preferences with the opportunity to override for particular slideshows.

    No. You have to deselect it for each slideshow you create, Send a feature request for being able to turn it off globally to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

  • Ken Burns effect locked?

    I have imported images from iphoto to idvd to make a movie.
    I have been re-arranging images within idvd to my satisfaction and added music.
    All images have the Ken Burns effect which I am trying to remove, but my efforts so far have proved unsuccessful.
    I would like to have KB on certain selected images, not on all.
    Apple support was unable to help saying that the file could be corrupted.
    When I start a new test project, all is well, ie: I have control of adding KB or removing it.
    I do not want to start the project again from scratch,so my question is...Can KB be locked?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the discussion!
    Can you clarify a couple things for us, Everton, for it's not exactly clear what you're trying to do, and in which application...
    I get the feeling that although you've posted in the iMovie forum, you're not creating an iMovie slideshow, right? You're creating a slideshow in either iDVD or iPhoto, I suspect.
    You said you imported photos to iDVD and have re-arranged them there. That can be done in iDVD. It's possible to import photos and create your slideshow there.
    But then you said you're trying to remove the Ken Burns Effect from select slides. Trouble is, I don't know of any way to add (or remove) the Ken Burns Effect in a slideshow created in iDVD, and that's where I get confused. The Ken Burns Effect feature isn't part of iDVD. (I may have missed it. If so, please point me in the right direction.)
    The slideshows we create in iPhoto, on the other hand, do let us add the Ken Burns Effect to ALL the slides randomly, or add it to individual slides, or a combination of both. (The Settings button of the iPhoto slideshow lets us include it to all the slides.)
    After we configure a iPhoto slideshow we can send it to iDVD, where it arrives as a movie. But we can't re-arrange the slides nor edit any features in iDVD — it's not that kind of slideshow. It's a movie.
    So, it may be that you're trying to do something in iDVD that just can't be done — edit the Ken Burns Effect configured in an iPhoto slideshow. It may be that your editing should be done in iPhoto BEFORE sending the iPhoto slideshow to iDVD.
    It's also possible you've created two different kinds of slideshows in your iDVD project, one created by dragging photos to iDVD, the other created by iPhoto. In that case, the iPhoto slideshow may include the Ken Burns Effect but the iDVD slideshow would not. To modify the Ken Burns Effect features, you have to edit the slideshow in iPhoto and re-import it to iDVD.
    When it comes to making slideshows, we have an abundance of riches. iLife perhaps offers us too many ways to make them, which can lead to some confusion.

  • Ken Burns Effect - Variable vs. Constant Speed

    On a test slideshow I worked on in iPhoto, I noticed that the Ken Burns effect uses a "variable" motion. Meaning if I'm utilizing the zoom effect, it'll start out slow, then speed up, then slow down again for each photo. However, I just want a constant speed zoom for each photo.
    Is there away to have the Ken Burns effect zoom (and/or pan) with a constant speed?

    100 brownie points to Terrabay! LOL
    For those that don't know how Terrabay arrived at his solution: iMovie DOES let you dictate how long your transition (for ANY transition) is when you put it into your show. When you press editing and go into transitions drag the transition you want into your time line - you can adjust how long you want it to be and which direction you want it to go before you put it in your show, and if youve already put it in but want to lengthen/shorten it, just click on your transition in the time line, make the change and press UPDATE. Simple.

  • Ken Burns Effect in iDVD without iPhoto?

    I was wondering if I can add the Ken Burns Effect in iDVD without having to make a slideshow in iPhoto and exporting.

    This seems very inefficient to me. So in order to get motion slideshows, you have to export the slideshow from iPhoto as a .mov file (or iMovie which is even less easy), which takes quite a long time (at least 10min or so?) even on my MBP 2ghz and chewed up 500mb for 5 minutes. I have 17 slideshows I'd like to put in one iDVD project - processing them one by one in this way is a real pain in the neck.
    Hopefully, one day Apple will either:
    - allow you to queue slideshow exporting in iPhoto; or preferably
    - accept motion slideshows is a core functionality for iDVD in the same way transitioning slideshows are. iDVD could just call on the iPhoto app behind the scenes to process the motion slideshows, if they really didn't want to move all that code into iDVD.

  • Kens Burns effects not saved in "original" saved slideshows in iphoto 11

    i upgraded from iphoto 9 to iphoto 11. I have several saved slideshows. When I opened the saved slideshows in iphoto11 some of the Ken Burns effects were lost (some turned out to be Ken Burns effects on a landscape photos). I tried to add the Ken Burns effects to the landscape photo in the "original theme" and could not do so. The effect would operate until I closed iphoto11 and then would fail to operate when I reopened iphoto and ran the saved slideshow. This also occurred when I made a new saved slideshow. This issue only occurred in landscape photos and did not occur in portrait photos. The Ken Burns effects on a portait photo was updated when going from 9 to 11 and new Ken Burns effects could be added to a new and old saved slideshow.
    Of the 12 Themes in saved slideshows only Ken Burns and Original have Ken Burns effects available. The Ken Burns effects are saved when Iphoto 11 is closed for both portrait and landscape photos in the Ken Burns theme and for portrait photos in the Original Theme. Landscape photos did not save in the "original theme"
    I wondered if some how my library was corrupted so I went to a MAC store and made saved slideshows using their machine and their iphoto 11. I reproduced these results on an Apple store IMAC. Apple is aware

    SixPack:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As TD pointed out, making a QT movie file of a slideshow involves rendering which is then encoded once again in iDVD. IMO, the best image quality for a slideshow is obtained when you create the slideshow entirely within iDVD. Of course there's no KB effect.
    If you create the show in iMovie you can get around the double encoding by closing iMovie once the slideshow is finished. Then open the iMovie project file/package (Option-click on the project file and select Show Package Contents option), find the iDVD folder and drag the .mov file in it into the open iDVD window. This will let iDVD do the rendering of the various transitions and special effects and provide a better final product.
    You must remember that iDVD's final resolution is only 640 x 480.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • MAKE A iPHOTO ALBUM ON A CD WITH KEN BURNS EFFECT AND MUSIC

    I'd like to know how to save an album using the Ken Burns effect (pictures automatically panned or zoomed) and the music I've saved to the album from the samples given in Iphoto. When I try to open a CD with an album on it on a Windows pc, I get only the pictures and neither the Ken Burns effect nor the music, so all I can run is a simple slideshow, which looks anemic when compared with the full effect available on the Mac. Any ideas?

    Export the Slideshow as a Quicktime Movie (File -> Export) and burn that to the CD.
    Regards

  • Ken Burns effects are unsmooth. They stop and start, also stutter as they zoom.  Can anyone advise?

    Ken Burns effects are unsmooth. They stop and start, also stutter as they zoom.  Can anyone advise?

    Are you noticing this while playing back a project you're working on in iMovie or are you notivinh it in finsihed projects (i.e. projects you output or Shared)?
    If the former, that could indicate something about your hardware configuration that's struggling to keep up with rendering your project on the fly while it's playing in iMovie.  Are you running other apps? Do you have limited hard drive space?
    What are the specs of your Mac?

  • Stopping the Ken Burns Effect

    I'm making a slideshow in Iphoto 11 and every time I add a picture it automatically adds the Ken Burns effect. Is there anyway to make this not happen without having to change the settings in each individual picture?
    Thanks

    What theme are you using? Try select the Classic, it has no KB effect.

  • IPhoto Ken Burns Effect

    Does anyone know if you can just have the Ken Burns effect certain slides in a slideshow?

    Hi Ben,
    Yes you can.
    Once you've "made" your slideshow,open the slideshow with the thumbnail photos across the top.
    If you don't see thumbnails,go to iPhoto>View>Show thumbnails
    Once you see the thumbnails across the top,select each picture for which you do not want the Ken Burns effect and look at the bottom. You can deselect the KB effect for each picture as you wish.
    Best wishes,

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Why does iPhoto have Ken Burns effect and Aperture does not?

    Does anyone know why this is? In fact, I can't figure out why DVD Studio Pro (I have version 2 still, perhaps version 3 has it) and iDVD don't have it either.
    Why would the "Pro" level apps not have this cool slideshow feature that the entry-level app does? Is this buried somewhere in Aperture and I haven't found it?
    Brad

    Kevin Burns? Never heard of him.
    We have this battle about once a week in one or more of the world's Final Cut Pro forums. Folks moving up from iMovie expect access to a collection of pre-canned transitions and image movements inside the expensive upgrade. "Why else would it cost so much?" one can legitimately ask.
    Having Burns in Aperture might be important to you so please don't take the following observations personally.
    The issue for most video professionals is one of pride and deep, deep resentment. Designing and programming of appropriately timed and composed rostrum camera moves in x-y-z space is far more complicated than the more or less random settings the K-B button will impose. And Mr Burns, bless his pointed little head, is somehow getting credit for an animation technique that was perfected long before his grandfather was born.
    Including junk like the Ken Burns Effect in Aperture, come to think of it, might have been the deal breaker for us. Such tripe would have telegraphed the overall emptiness of the application.
    Again, I don't mean to poke fun at anyone who feel they get useful movies out of the KB button. These are my issues. But consider the presence on your Nikon/Canon of the "Helmut Newton Effect" button. Would you be tempted to use it? More than once?

  • 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.
