Ken Burns movie clips (not still photo)

How can I apply ken burns to movie clips. I know that the ken burns button only appears when we edit still photos, not movie clips. Is there any method to achieve an effect similar to ken burns? Or at least remotely similar?

iM's Bigger Brother FinalCutExpress allows such an effect by 'key framing' ..

  • Can I turn off the Ken Burns effect from all stills at once?

    I am using iMovie 09.  I am creating a slideshow.  I want to turn off the Ken Burns effect from all stills.  Is there a way to do this in one operation?
    Mary Lou

    Yes. Select one still. Open the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool on the middle Toolbar. Set it to FIT (for letterboxing) or to CROP (for it to fill the screen, but cut off the top and bottom). This will turn off Ken Burns.
    Now select the photo you just adjusted and EDIT/COPY (or Command-C).
    Now click EDIT/SELECT ALL (or Command-A) to select all photos.
    Finally, click EDIT/PASTE ADJUSTMENTS/CROP ADJUSTMENTS to apply to all photos.

  • Pasting Ken Burns  Into Clips Moves clip

    This has only happened a few times.   To save time, I paste the ken burns attributes into multiple selected clips.  I use the paste attributes command.  At times when I to that the clip itself is moved out of the visible movie frame.   I have only noticed this with FCP X 10.1.  Yes I can work around this but I was just wondering.

  • I am trying to insert a cut photo into a movie clip. the cutaway photo appears above the clip and cuts away when you move the curser across it, but does not show the cutaway when in playback. What am I missing?away

    I am trying to insert a cutaway photo into a movie clip. The cuaway photo appears over the clip and will appear in the clip when you manually moce the curser across it, but will not appear in the clip during playback. What am I missing?

    Try using the SHARE menu to share your movie in the sizes you need. It should work on the shared copy.
    Another thing to try would be to restart your Mac so you have fresh memory.

  • Ken Burns Effect window not there when I click on "Show Photo Settings"

    Hi
    I am using IMovie HD v 6.0.3 on my mac book pro v 10.4.11. When I press "Show Photo Settings" in imovie, all I see is a large preview window with the photo panning and zooming. There is no window box with a small preview window, zoom, speed controls, and Ken Burns check box, etc. on the interface. So, as a result, the only control I have is a stop, and grab.
    Where is my Ken Burns window with all the controls? Is there a download or a fix for this? What am I missing? I have a project loaded with photos and a deadline, so I figured if I used imovie instead of final cut pro, it would be much quicker and easier.
    Please help....
    Thanks,
    Anneita

    Thanks for your reply! Your suggestion makes perfect sense.
    However, just before I received your reply, I made an appointment with a Mac Genius at the local Apple store, and guess what! The transparent box was hiding way down the bottom of the screen, and that's why it couldn't be seen. He found it! Duhhhhh......
    Thanks again.

  • Mixing Ken Burns effected images w/ stills

    I'm creating a slideshow that mixes images with the Ken Burns effect on, and images with the effect turned off. I've noticed that when I place a non-Ken Burns'd image immediately after a Ken Burns'd image, the playback isn't accurate. The still image appears black or doesn't accuratly play back what's represented on the timeline.
    I've dug through a lot of threads here but haven't found my answer. And help or just links to other threads would be great!

    The workaround for this, for people running Snow Leopard, is to insert a smallest possible Cross Dissolve transition between the Ken Burns clip and the still. Actually, probably any transition will work.
    The problem seems to be related to Quicktime 7.6.6, and manifests with stills, not movie clips. However, Snow Leopard folks, unlike those running Leopard, have not successfully been able to revert to an earlier version of Quicktime--at least as far as I know. You will notice that the problem does not manifest between Ken Burns photos or video clips, but only when non-Ken Burns stills are involved. Ken Burns stills are really movie clips. Inserting a transition will also turn a still into a movie clip. Thus evolves the workaround.
    Hope this works for you.

  • Importing iphoto 09 pictures into imovie 09 with ken burns movement!

    Im making a video on imovie 09 using still images i took and imported to iphoto. Then i import those iphoto pictures into imovie, BUT all the pictures have moving "ken burns" crop effects on them after i import them to imovie!!! i know how to fix it, by going to the "crop tool" and "ken burns" adjusting the start and end effect of this movement but my question is....
    how do i change this setting so I dont have to tediously use the cropping ken burns tool on every clip which will probably make all the images appear shaky??????

    Go to FILE/PROJECT PROPERTIES and you can set the default behavior when importing photos to the project.

  • Ken Burns Affect does not work....

    Ok, these are the steps that I'm taking to work with my photos. I import them and wait untill they render, and once they are finished rendering I move them down to the timeline. I then press the tab for pictures and it gives me the button for ken burns affect, but when I adjust what I want done then I press the button to render it does it but it does not apply the affect. What should I do? Reinstall? Thanks.

    atxguy,
    Before you use the Ken Burns effect are you selecting the clip you wish it applied to?
    Highlighted clips will turn blue.

  • Ken Burns effect on imported iphoto photos

    Using iMovie 6 updated, when applying KB effect to iPhoto photos imported to either clip board or timeline, the photo renders to black on the timeline. I can import photos if I don't apply KB effect. What do I do? Go back to an earlier edition of iMovie like iMovie 5 which seemed to work? I hope not!

    Hi Mike:
    Welcome to discussions!
    It may be this iMovie 6 bug:
    Updating Ken Burns stills works only until you empty the trash in iMovie HD 6.0.3

  • How can I burn Movie clips to Lightroom using DVD-RW disk

    I have edited a file containg 2 dozen still photos and 7 movie clips. Although I can burn the still photos by clicking on EXPORT  I am later told (but not the reason why) that the Movie clips did not successfully burn to disk.

    AFAIK, there's no way to do that with Premiere Pro.  You can probably find a utility on the Internet that will change the dates for you after the fact. 
    Cheers,

  • 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.

  • Want to know if Premiere Elements has the capability to show movement on a still photo? Such as zoom

    I am thinking of purchasing PE 12 if it has the capability to take a still photo and move the camera around on it like many videos I have seen.  I am currently using PE 9.  Thanks for any help on this subject.

    Railfan Ken
    What are you doing in Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
    Are you keyframing the Motion properties of Scale (for Zoom) and Position (for Pan) to get a pan and zoom effect?
    or
    Are you using the Edit Header/Effects/Presets and one of the presets for a pan OR zoom effect (the Presets allow for only a pan per picture or a zoom per picture but not a pan and zoom per picture).
    or
    Have you been using the Elements Organizer 9 Slideshow Editor to create a slideshow with the pan and zoom feature there and then transfer the Elements Organizer 9 slideshow to Premiere Elements?
    If it is the Premiere Elements 10, 11, or 12 Pan and Zoom Tool that is making you think to laterversion than 9.0/9.0.1, perhaps the following Adobe document may give you more information on that.

  • KEN BURNS imovie clip timing PROBLEMS!!!

    I'm having some trouble adjusting the timing for pictures that I have put the Ken Burns effect onto, in imovie. I have selected all the clips to be 4 seconds long. Then I have selected the Ken Burns clips to be 4 seconds long as well, but they either have to be RENDERED in order to change the time (and this, I've heard messes up the quality of the pic making it "jagged") OR it only allows the picture to be set at it's pre-given RANDOM lower than 4 second time.
    Make sense? PLEASE HELP! I'm about sick of imovie with all the problems I've had.
    Thanks!

    Then I have selected the Ken Burns
    clips to be 4 seconds long as well, but they either
    have to be RENDERED in order to change the time (and
    this, I've heard messes up the quality of the pic
    making it "jagged")
    You may have misunderstood something important, Smiley, so I want to correct it. Ken Burns does NOT add jaggies to images. It actually INOCULATES the image from getting jaggies later.
    The jaggies are added when you press the Create iDVD Project button (in the iDVD tab). That's when iMovie offers to render any unrendered photos -- convert them to video clips. If you grant permission to render, the jaggies get added to those clips.
    Ken Burns renders images beautifully. The rendering routine iMovie uses later adds the jaggies.
    OR it only allows the picture to
    be set at it's pre-given RANDOM lower than 4 second
    time.
    The user interface for configuring Ken Burns settings is confusing and sometimes buggy. Until you figure it out, it sometimes appears to have a mind of its own. For what it's worth, I've never seen KB apply random durations to a group of images, and it's not a complaint we see here. So my guess is you're doing something inconsistent with how the Ken Burns user interface likes to do things, or you've bumped up against a bug.
    One bug is that the text boxes in Ken Burns are quite unreliable. It's best to use the sliders to set the duration and zooms instead of the text boxes. The duration slider is more reliable than your typing the duration in the text box at the end of the slider, for example. If you use the text box, remember to hit the tab key after entering the text. And, of course, be sure to use the sec:frame format, e.g. 4:00 or 4:22. If you type the numbers differently, iMovie will probably do something unexpected.
    One of the interface anomalies occurs when the Ken Burns checkbox is on when you select a photo in the iPhoto list.Then Ken Burns does a preview dance in its little thumbnail image, with animation. As that animation runs, changing any Ken Burns settings will almost certainly fail. You will probably accidentally set a feature you didn't intend.
    Here's why: As the animation progresses, Ken Burns switches from the Start position to the End position. If you click on a photo in the list, then reach up to set the Start position, you'll probably unintentionally set the End position. So always wait for the preview to finish before setting anything.
    Another confusing (but useful) feature is that Ken Burns always applies the features of your last-clicked-on Ken Burns clip to the upcoming import. So if you pre-set your Ken Burns features, THEN click on a previously-imported Ken Burns clip, the Ken burns settings will change from YOUR settings to the settings for that clip. (That's immensely useful, for it lets us apply the settings of a clip we like to one or more photos we want to import, but it can be very confusing.) So if you have manually configured some settings for the next import, do NOT click on a clip before importing that image.
    Another bug: if the Ken Burns checkbox was OFF when a photo was imported, clicking on that clip does NOT correctly re-display the settings for that clip. Ken Burns doesn't correctly show the pan or zoom. If you Update the clip with a new duration, the pan and zoom of the new clip won't be correctly applied.
    I don't know if any of that helps you figure out what's going on there, but hopefully so. If not, describe EXACTLY the steps that cause the problem to occur so others can test it.
