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.

  • 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.

  • Ken Burns reduces photo resolution in slideshows?

    Hey gang-
    I'm running iPhoto 8 v7.0.1 on my new 24" 2.8GHz iMac. I've noticed something I hadn't detected in earlier versions of iPhoto- that is, when I'm playing a slideshow, photo quality if "Automatic Ken Burns" is enabled appears significantly lower than when Ken Burns is turned off. I've looked closely at a few photos that contain text and lines that can be pretty objectively judged, and photos definitely appear to be in a lower resolution and rather fuzzy if Ken Burns is enabled.
    Turn Ken Burns off and play the same slideshow, and the photos appear sharp and crisp? Is this a known issue? Any way to adjust this? Thanks!

    I just added some text with Photoshop to a photo and ran it thru the auto KB effect slideshow and didn't see any degradation of the image/text. What size is your file? If it has small pixel dimensions then it might be fuzzy when used in the KB effect as it would be enlarged.

    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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Ken Burns effect remains even when turned off

    I'm having huge problems viewing slideshows with iPhoto 5. I cannot get the Ken Burns effect off, even when it is not selected, and when I select a small number of photos to show, and click view slideshow, the music starts, but only the first photo appears. Has anyone else seen these problems? I've tried replacing the iPhoto preferences, but that did not help. Thanks.

    Thank you for responding. I guess I did not pay strict attention to turning off the Ken Burns effict in both places. One other thing that made it peculiar was that the first slide would display and then it would wait for several seconds before showing the next slide even though I had set it to display each slide for only 2 seconds. I'm wondering why that was? Could Spotlight have been indexing the drive and slowing things down? It seems OK now. Also, strangely still, when I click on the red X to close the window of iPhoto, then entire application quits. The whole thing is acting quirky. Comments most welcome. Thanks again.

  • Can I turn the Ken Burn Effect off when using the iMovie app on my iPod touch 5th generation?

    I have an iPod touch 5th generation and I'm trying to make a movie using the iMovie app. When I put an image on there it moves from side to side and zooms in and out. I believe this is called the "Ken Burn Effect". Is there any way that I can turn the Ken Burn Effect off without having to adjust the image position and zoom level to be the same for the start and end points?

    Hello MisfitxCaleb
    Unfortunately, the Ken Burns Effect cannot be turned off in iMovie for iOS. Like you mentioned above, having the photo at the same start and end point is the best way to make it appear as if it isn't moving/zooming.

  • Turn off this annoying Ken Burns effect!

    I haven't found a solution on the discussion board for turning off the Ken Burns effect. The checkbox doesn't work, nor does the "settings" button to the right of it. I check "none" for transitions, "none" for effect, "none" on Ken Burns. Still the pictures have the cliche twangy music and annoying pan/zoom thing. Works great in Ken's films, but why did apple screw this up? We need to be able to turn it OFF!
    Has anyone found a solution???

    Trashing this preference file has had limited success, because that's been posted on earlier inquiries, but I think it doesn't work very well. I found the gray-colored arrows (should be bright red!) next to the "adjust" button. When the arrows are clicked, up comes "music" and "settings". In those dialog boxes, one can actually turn off the Ken Burns and music successfully. Maybe my version of iphoto had this added from previous v.5?
    I always wonder why software designers make so much money, and why would anyone actually want to use this overdone, outdated affect as a default??

  • 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?

  • Can't turn off Ken Burns effect

    Hi
    doing a movie of some photos and can't seem to turn off the ken burns effect when i uncheck the box and click update. Any ideas? Thanks

    Two things occur to me.
    First, you might just need to delete preferences and do a permissions repair. To delete preferences, shut down iMovie and trash the file com.apple.iMovie.plist located in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. On relaunch iMovie will replace the deleted .plist file. Before relaunching, do a permissions repair using the Disk Utility app on your Mac. Close down all running programs. Open Disk Utility and select your hard drive icon displayed in the left hand pane, and then click on Repair Permissions.
    Second, there is a bug in iM6 that prevents any editing of a photo to which the Ken Burns effect has been applied if the trash has been emptied at any time after the effect had been applied. The solution there is to reimport the photo, and don't empty the project trash until after your project is completed.

  • Turn off Ken Burns Effect?

    Hi - does anyone know how to turn off the ken burns effect? i see the option to do so in project preferences -- but it is only applying to the first photo in the series and I'd like to shut it off for all... can anyone help?
    thanks!!!

    Hi Rachel,
    Select (highlight with the yellow border) all the photos on which you wish to turn off Ken Burns. Now, on any of the photos click on the small gear icon and select "Cropping, Ken Burns & Rotation" - be careful not to deselect the photos, click just on the icon. In the Viewer select "Fit" (in the top left corner of the Viewer). Click "Done" (top right corner). Now all the selected photos will fit in the frame, with no motion applied to them.
    The Project Properties selection (in the Menu) only applies to photos when you first add them to your project. So, it's best to set your options there when you start a new project and before adding content to the project.

  • Can I turn off Ken Burns Effect in iMovie for iPad 2?

    Can I turn it off, and adjust a default time for pictures when added to timeline?

    You can't turn it off the Ken Burns effect, but if you set the same start and end positions for zoom and pan then it won't appear to do anything.
    5.0 seconds seems to be the default display time for each picture. I can't find an option to change that anywhere.

  • Cant turn off the ken burns effect

    The ken burns effect (why is that on by default for crissakes?) cannot be tuned off!!!! I have about 10 images in a movie made up of about 100 still images on which the ken burns effect cannot be turned off. I tried unchecking the ken burns check box & hitting the update button, but it immediately turns itself back on!! Tis is with iMovie 3, and as i said, it affects only the first 10 or so images in this particular project.

    I know, sometimes it feels like Ken Burns has a mind of its own. It WILL do what you want, but first you have to figure out its rules.
    The most important is that all of the Ken Burns settings, the KB checkbox, zoom, pan and duration are controlled by the LAST imported clip you made, or a previously-imported clip you clicked on. THAT's what sets the default setting for your next import(s). (A very nice feature, by the way, for it lets you apply the Ken Burns settings of one clip to the next photos you import. You don't have to reconfigure settings each time.)
    That also means that when you uncheck the KB checkbox that won't "stick". When you click on some other clip it may change.
    So when updating an existing clip, the trick is to select the clip, THEN adjust the Ken Burns settings, THEN Update the clip.
    A complicating factor is that previously-imported photos to which special effects or other editing has been applied are no longer considered Ken Burns clips, so clicking on them doesn't have the same result.
    So pay close attention to what you click on, and even closer attention to whether or not there is a clip selected or an image selected in the Photos pane selected. iMovie will select a photo on its own when you haven't selected something.
    It works like you want, but first you have to see that what it does is you want.

  • 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.

  • How to turn off Ken Burns Effect

    Hello
    working with iMovie HD 6.0.4
    I do have iMovie 11, but can't figure out how to manage more than one soundtrack (Movie and Music).
    So back to iMovie HD 6.
    I searched the Help section regarding turning off Ken Burns Effect.
    This is what it says:
    To remove the pan and zoom effect from a photo in your movie:
    Select the image in the clip viewer or timeline viewer.
    Click the Media button, click Photos at the top of the Media pane, and then click Show Photo Settings.
    In the Photo Settings window, deselect the Ken Burns Effect checkbox.
    Click Apply.
    BUT: here is NO checkbox to deselect Ken Burns Effect.
    Anybody know what happened?
    The reason I want to get rid of it is that zooming makes stills unwatchable. I it barely ok in iPhoto but in iMovie, the resolution is totally messed up.
    It would be great if somebody has an idea to turn off Ken Burns Effect.
    Thank you
    Christian

  • Turning off "Ken Burns" effect for SOME photos

    I see that someone has asked a similar question in the past and told that it's not possible to turn off the Ken Burns effect for some photos, but I'm hoping someone has a workaround or there's a hack...
    I've made a slideshow and got the idea to "tell the story" by creating some "title" images in Photoshop elements which I've placed in between a series of photos.
    These are just black backgrounds with the title (e.g. "...and the party begins", "Family reunion" etc.) in big white letters. I'm very happy with that idea
    I like the Ken Burns effect for the slideshow as it adds some semi-video "action" effect, but NOT on the titles. Having the Ken Burns effect there just looks stupid, so I would like to remove it for the titles alone.
    I know I can do it the other way round (go to "Settings" for the Slideshow, deselect "Automatic Ken Burns effect", then manually add the effect for all the photos I want), but with a slideshow album that's going to take ages to do!!
    Is there a better way?

    Perhaps you're checking the KB button on the "main" menu for the slideshow. That actually changes only the setting for the image that is currently selected. Try using the "Settings" button and deselect the "Automatic KB effect."

  • Why are my scanned images turning red when put in a slideshow or iMovie?

    Why are my photos turning red when put in a slideshow?

    Can you start a new document and then load one of the duotones known to be good in the working file and have it correct? If so, try one of the duotones known to be bad in the working document in the new file. Does it work?
    If no to either suggestion, can you share one of the images known to be good and one known to be bad? ZIP 'em up and upload to dropbox and plop a link here. Or, to keep the file sizes down, you can quickly make a new set and provide those.
    As well, the ID version and OS info would probably be helpful.
    Take care, Mike
