Photos turning red with Ken Burns

When I apply Ken Burns effect, the photos turn red. Like a transparent layer of red overlay on top of the photo.
any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
I formatted them in a jpg format.

I know this has never happened to anyone other than me.
Open Mouth. Insert Foot
I learned what I was doing wrong, and now realize what a marvelouse piece of software iMovie and iDVD really are.
absouletly STUNNING. Breathtaking craftsmanship they have performed.
Well, I'm going to crawl back into my hole.

Pics turn red when ken burns is turned on

hi i was just editing a slideshow im making and when i added the ken burns effect all my photos turned red and stayed that way i was wondering how to get rid of this

I had this problem with red tinted photographs and found it was only those pictures saved in bitmap. After converting the pictures to jpeg things seemed to work just fine.
Hope this helps.

IMovie Crashing when importing photo with Ken Burns Effect

iMovie is crashing all the time when I am trying to import a photo with Ken burns effect using media browser and hitting "apply". Is this a known problem ? If I dont apply Ken Buruns effect then it imports it fine.
I am trying to put Photo at the begining of my project ( and then put title on that photo). If I have any clip in the begining and then try importing photo with ken burn's effect then it is not crashing, but it still does not import it. I click "apply" and it does soemthing , I can see the clip in timeline for a sec and then it disappears. So either way, cant use any photos anywhere with Ken Burn's effect. Whats going on?
I have more than enough space available on my HDD and I do not think there is any conflicting QT plugins I have ( It's all default Install). This is so consistent that it seems like a Bug but can't find this exact case mentioned anywhere in discussions.

Welcome to the forum! And thanks for such an insightful post.
I have two guesses here:
o The Ken Burns code of iMovie has a problem with partitions
o The Ken Burns code of iMovie has a problem with access rights
I've never seen a Ken Burns problem with partitions (I've used multiple partitions for years with no problems). I suspect that's not the cause.
But I think you've hit the nail on the head that iMovie may have a problem with permissions/access rights. I don't know exactly what the problem is — or whether it's caused by iMovie or OSX — but there is behavior that suggests something isn't right.
I suspect the issue, whatever it is, causes a failure to save the rendered Ken Burns clip inside the project package. The red bar runs, but the rendered clip isn't saved to disk. My guess is OSX refuses to allow iMovie to save the file for OSX doesn't believe YOU have permission.
One would think that using the Finder to set the permissions of the project package would solve the problem, but it doesn't seem to.
There are two possible solutions:
1. Set the partition to ignore permissions. In the Finder, click on the partition and Get Info. Turn ON the checkbox "Ignore permissions on this volume";
2. Use Disk Utility to reformat (erase) the partition. Somehow that seems to fix the problem.
Here's some history which may suggest another solution: In an earlier version of iMovie a similar problem occurred, where iMovie would refuse to open a project. It had somehow decided you didn't have permission to edit the project.
The only solution was to use the Finder to create a new set of project folders — a folder and all the folders it normally contains — then Option-drag the FILES of the original project folder to the appropriate folders. (Option-dragging COPIED the files instead of moving them.) The new project folder would now open normally.
If you are adept at working with packages, you might try creating your own package (which contains all the normal folders) then Option-drag the files of the problem project to your package.
Once I saw an error -52 announcement, but it was not reproducible.
Error -52 is a "Get file position error", which (may) suggest a disk directory error. That may be a disk issue unrelated to iMovie. You might want to consider using Disk Utility to Verify/Repair that partition.
I have a separate partition for the movies and made a
link from my home account to the directory with the
movies on that partition. iMovie works correctly
except for the Ken Burns photo rendering.
I'm never sure whether creating such a link is a good idea or not, especially for the iLife apps. Some apps don't resolve the alias as they should, which creates other problems. A "Movies" alias sends iDVD a million miles beyond Jupiter, for example, where the iDVD project joins the space dust.
For iMovie projects saved on partitions and external drives, I just save them inside a "iMovie 6 Projects" folder on that drive. (Every new version of iMovie gets a new folder.) For convenience, I may create aliases to help navigate there, but do nothing else. Everything just works.
If you figure out something new, please say.

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.

Scanned b/w photos turning red in iphoto

I scanned in some old b/w photos into iphoto. They appear to be fine, but if I make any changes to them, such as cropping them, the photo turns red. How can I stop this? Thanks

IPhoto does not support gray scale. You must use RGB (sRGB) is recommended
Rescan with a color profile or export and change to sRGB and import

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.

Export iPHOTO slideshow with ken Burns affects

Is there any way to create a slideshow in iPhoto with Ken Burns affects default dissolve between slides and then export it into FCX?

the audio associated with that set of photos was a piece of music off of an audio CD that had been transferred to iTunes for the purpose of making this section in the DVD. It's not a big problem that the music didn't transfer, since I can add it back into FCX. Thank you so much for your concern and help. This was a very key bit of info that you provided me. Thanks again. bill

Zoom and pan with Ken Burns and then stop and hold the image

Hi all,
I'd like to zoom and pan on a photo with Ken Burns and then stop at the "end" -cropping and hold the image there on my project for a few seconds. Is this possible?

I found a new solution.
I select the ready "Ken Burnsed" photoclip and ctrl-click and choose copy, and then paste the exactly same kind of clip right behind the original. Then i go to the 'cropping, ken burns and rotation'- window, make shure that the start box is on the same crop as the ending of the original clip ( you can switch between start and end crops from the arrow thingy in the corner of the box) , and click crop. There I have the righty cropped stillframe right behind of the original.
I don't know if this is the right method, but it works thanks for everyone for helping, and if you find a better way, please post. I have this thread subscribed.

IMovie producing scrambled video with ken Burns effect

I was creating a movie with stills from iPhoto. The first 3 photos are using the Ken Burns effect just fine. Anything after that is absolutely unrecognizable. It looks like a scrambled mess of what is on my screen. I can actually see my Dock in the video. This is really strange. It occurs with photos I've edited and with ones I haven't. I have the latest version of Quicktime (7.0.4), iMovie (6.02) and iPhoto (6.0.4) as well as Tiger.
I've never had this problem before. As long as I don't use the Ken Burns effect I'm fine.

Hi Appleman1958
Thanks for the advise. I'll give it a try when I get home tonight. Went nuts last night looking for a way
to do it. Didn't want to do them one at a time or delete it and start over. Any idea why the pictures
are not nearly as sharp when I burn to a disc on iDVD. as they are when viewed on iMovie or Aperture?
Thanks Again,

Why do my scanned photos turn red when I try to edit them in IPhoto?

Why do my scanned photos turn red when I try to edit them in IPhoto?

Assuming these are Black and white, iPhoto still needs an RGB colorspace assigned, it can't work with images that are in B&W colorspace.
Scan in color and de-saturate in iPhoto, if required.

Is it just me or does iMovie have too many bugs especially with Ken Burns

Has anyone else been experiencing the same amount of problems with iMovie 6 as myself?
Random crashes every so often (iMovie has closed unexpectically), it seems to happen every time I've forgatten to save my movie for a while.
Constant problems with Ken Burns rendering ...
Frequent white flashes in between frames ... after a picture has been rendered, especially in HD. To the point that I can't create movies in 720 dv because I will always get static frames here and there.
Static rendering with some images with Ken Burns (diffrent from previous problem) , it seems to effect photos from some digital cameras more then otheres, but I have seen this problem affect just about every photo source. With my photos especially I can't use the Ken burns effect, because I get problems atleast 50%.
And all these problems are happening on my new (current generation) ibook. I've combed through the forums and tried just about every possible solution, reinstalled imovie, repatched it, deleted preferences, installed from a friendssdvd instead of mine, etc ... but I still keep getting these problems. Anything short of reverting back to iLife 5 doesn't work, which ofcourse defeats the whole purpose of gettin iLife 6.
Don't get me wrong a like the new features in iMovie 6, but I'm really finding it impossible to work with it.
Maybe iMovie 6 simply doesn't run well on iBooks?

No iMovie has always been a touchy beast

All my raw photos turn red.

Yesterday, all my raw photos turn red, first in aperture and then also in the preview.
The first photo was converted whith Nikon software (View NX2) the second whith preview, I get the same problem whith Aperture and iPhoto.
This photo is from 2011 and it was fine until yesterday.

The 4.08 Raw Camera bundle update that was released a few days ago is causing problems for Nikon users. Until Apple issues an update to fix this roll back to 4.07
Search here for many posts describing this and how to roll back.

Imovie will not render photos with ken burns effect

I have started to produce a video and have tried to import photos from both iphotos and straight from desktop however when i do this the red bar showing the state of rendering does not move. The photo will not render and therfor i am unable to use the ken burns effect. Could anyone please give me any idea of what i am doing wrong.
Thanks.

Hi
What file type is Your photos eg .tiff, .pict or .jpg ?
What size are they eg 1Mb, 10Mb or 100Mb ?
How much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disc ?
Ps When ready - Don't use Share/Export to iDVD from within iMovie. Just drop Your movie icon
(with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
OR - Your movie project in iMovie will be harmed and You'll have to re-do it ! ! AND
the DVD disc will be severely pixelated - extreme low quality Ds
Yours Bengt W

Mixing photos with Ken Burns effect with 'still' photos

I am just beginning to experiment with iMovie '09. My medium is still photographs and my goal was to create a movie with these photographs, and send them to iDVD to test the quality of the final images.
I have 3 questions.
1. I started by using about 10 photos from iPhoto, then adding music and transitions. I used the same 10 slides, same music and transitions to make a second movie, but this time I used the Ken Burns effect on two of the photos. When I moved the movies to iDVD, the first one was fine, but in the second one, the 'jaggies' appeared in the iDVD version. Is it an 'all or none' proposition regarding the Ken Burns effect if I want to avoid images with jagged edges or is there a way to combine moving and still images?
2. The first time I tried to send the movie to iDVD I chose Share>iDVD. A drop down window appeared and it looked as if a movie had been created but when I opened the media/movies pane in iDVD, a message appeared saying "the project can't be used because it has not been prepared for sharing yet." What was actually happening when I chose Share>iDVD?
3. I have been reading other posts about sharing from iMovie to iDVD. Am I understanding correctly that I the largest size I can go to is 'medium'? In my experiments, I have been choosing 'large' and they look OK. (I chose 'large' because that was what was modelled in the tutorial.) Would I have trouble when it comes to burning them?

You should be able to combine.
Open iMovie Preferences and put a check mark next to "Display Time as HH:MM:SS:Frames". This lets you edit more accurately and if there is an extraneous Ken Burns Frame you can see it.
he first time I tried to send the movie to iDVD I chose Share>iDVD.

Try saving your movie to either iTunes or the Media Browser first. When you send straight to iDVD it is expected DV or AIC or h.264. With photos only, none of these exist.
After sharing to the media browser or iTunes, if Share to iDVD still isn't working, you can open iDVD, find your movie in the Media Browser, and bring it into iDVD from there.

Both will work. DVDs are 480i, so if you send in large, iDVD has to downscale. You may want to try it both ways to see which gives you better results.

Stutter when playing back photos with Ken Burns effects

I am new to iMovie (& Macs) and am trying to replicate some complex motion on a still photo that I had on my PC with Adobe Premiere.
The motion I would like is to pan and/or zoom around a photo, then pause at the end of the motion for a few seconds before transitioning to the next photo. I tried to do this by basically using two paired clips:
1) add ken burns effects to the clip to accomplish the pan/zoom
2) copy the clip
3) on the copy, use the option key to transfer the settings from the "End" to the "Start" (which should make the clip motionless, but give it the same zoom and location settings as the end of the first clip)
4) set the second clip duration to a few seconds (first clip is generally between 6-10 seconds originally)
Sometimes this works great, but other times I get an inexplicable stutter between the two clips (both during playback on my computer or in the finished DVD), even though theoretically, the frames should be exactly the same between the two clips. It seems to happen after I've added transitions between photos (but not between the 2 paired clips that make up the motion), after it's re-rendered items.
Does anyone know why I would be getting this stutter (it looks like a flash of white, actually, that is only 1 frame long) ? When I walk through the movie, frame by frame, it looks like somehow I am actually getting a single white frame at the end of the first clip, but I have no idea where this frame is coming from or how to get rid of it.
Is there a better way to accomplish this type of motion ? I did some searching, but didn't find any topics on doing complex motions - has anyone seen any.
Thanks for any help.

I have had something similar happen in my slideshows. I would first check to see if you have a flash frame between the photos (which I've found sometimes randomly occurs for some unknown reason). You can enlarge the timeline as big as possible to see if you have one and just delete it. But I've also had a flash of white that appears at the end of a photo that is not a flash frame on the timeline. The only way I've figured to get rid of it is to delete the photo and re-insert it. Which is a pain, but has worked for me.
