Problem with burning Ken Burns effect on iDVD

When I preview a slideshow on iDVD after setting the theme to Ken Burns, it looks great. When I burn the project onto a DVD however the Ken Burns effect disappears and I'm left with static photos. What's going on?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Where are you getting the KB theme? iPhoto? Is this in an iPhoto slideshow or are you selecting an album and using the Play button at the bottom? If you're using an album all you're sending to iDVD are the stills without any effects added by iPhoto.

  • I have a problem with vertical images burned on a cd

    I have a problem with vertical images burned on a cd either from a Mac or a stand alone burner. What happens is the images come from the card and are put on the cd. Also note the the camera has been set for the computer to automatically show images vertically when shot that way. The images look good on my Mac, but are horizontal on windows computers. Both XP and Vista. What can be done?

    Hi, mjarrott
    My system is Windows 7. (GB Ram 8.00 on a Dell Optplex 980) And Photoshop is my newly purchased in Portuguese, because I'm Brazilian. The problem appears when I try to use the Filters menu - finishes - lighting effects.
    My old version worked just fine ...

  • Not happy with slideshows / Ken Burns effects / lesser quality in iDVD

    I am a new iPhoto user, having created my first slideshow of old photos to play at my mother's 80th birthday party this week. The whole process of arranging photos, testing visual effects and adding music went swimmingly! BUT (!!!!) I am hugely disappointed now that I've rendered the show through iDVD.
    -- The Ken Burns effects keep changing! Once a slideshow was created and the Burns effects seemed perfect, I sent that show to iDVD. But viewing the project once burned to DVD, I see that the cropping, zooming, etc. are all different. Is there a way to "save" a show and maintain the effects?
    -- Moreover, the crystal clear image sharpness and clean edges seen when viewing a slideshow in iPhoto are "dumbed down" once the show is sent to and rendered in iDVD. Even at the "quality" setting, moving effects look raggedy-edged. This really makes me unhappy.
    Any thoughts or ideas to share on this? Thanks.....

    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.

  • Is it possible to change the orientation with the Ken Burns effect?

    Friends,
    I would like to change the orientation of the Ken Burns effect for a particular photo that I've insterted into a movie.  In other words, the KBE crops the image in landscape mode -- I'd like to crop it in portrait mode (which is how the photo was taken).  How do I do this?
    Thanks!
    Steve

    Tom,
    You broke my heart, but I figured out a way around it using cropping and keyframes.
    Thanks!

  • Fit and usage problems with second DVD burner on Mirror Drive Door

    I got a Mirror Drive Door Dual 1.25 GHz (Firewire 400 only) to replace my dead Digital Audio model. It has been working fine for the past week, so today I was trying to transplant all my compatible upgrades over from the Digital Audio, but I am having problems with using 2 DVD burners.
    I left the original Apple Super Drive in the top optical bay and put my LaCie Lightscribe burner in the bottom bay.
    My first problem is that the opening in the lower bezel is too small from side-to-side for the LaCie tray to come out. It hits the bezel and goes back in. It looks like it is off by about 1-1.5mm on each side. I don't know if the drives will fit if I reverse their positions or not.
    Secondly, I don't think the jumpers are set correctly, and I am not 100% sure how to set them. I am guessing that they both need to be "Cable Select" like the hard disks in this model? I think I would prefer that the Apple drive stays the main drive. Right now, when I press the eject button on the keyboard, all I get is an endless cycle of the lower drive trying to eject its tray. I'm not finding the procedure for ejecting the the top Apple drive. Is there a key combination to select the upper drive? So far there is only Tiger 10.4.11 on this computer, though I will be installing Leopard shortly.

    I am guessing that they both need to be "Cable Select" like the hard disks in this model?
    Depends on the IDE cable, Master & Slave may be a better option.
    Might try this...
    On your main hard drive, dig down into System > Library > CoreServices > Menu Extras. Inside that window, double-click on the icon called Eject.menu.

    If two drives are properly recognized it'll allow you to choose which one.

  • Problem with Blur filters in effects browser

    Has anyone had a problem with the blur filters? Whenever I try to skim or apply any blur effect it freezes the viewer. Other effects are fine. Other functions of FCPX still work ok. The audio is ok, skimming works etc but the viewer is frozen. FCP then hangs on shutdown and requires a force quit, but relaunches fine. I have trashed FCPX permissions, repaired permissions for the OS, repaired the HD and redownloaded the application all to no avail. I also have FCPX installed on another startup drive and it does the same thing there. My computer is an iMAC 27 inch I7 with 4 gigs of RAM runing 10.6.8. FCPX is version 10.0.3.
    I did open a copy of the zoom blur effect in Motion and the only unusual thing I noticed was that there is a project loop end marker set at frame 1 of the project. Don't know if that is a factor. Any help greatly appreciated!

    I am refering to any of the blur category filters in the effects browser. I think there are like 6 of them sharpen, gaussian, prism, radial, and zoom. What happens is if I select a clip then go to the effects browser and scroll over the filters I will initially see a preview as you are supposed to. But very quickly that stops and if I go back to the timeline the viewer is frozen showing the previously selected clip. All the rest of FCP works normally ie you can scroll the timeline, select clips, use the tools etc. Only the viewer is frozen. You have to force quit FCP and restart to get back to normal. None of the other effects in effects browser cause any problems.
    I said in my first message all the things  I have tried unsuccessfully. This one is a real puzzler for me.

  • Problems with importing to After Effects

    Hi,
    I can't get my Motion projects imported into After Effects. I have read the manual and done exactly as instructed. When i try to import my Motion project file into AE, I get an error message in AE saying: "files of type "mofo" are not supported. I have no idea where the "mofo" comes from, since the projects are .motn format.
    I was wondering if anybody else has same kind of problems, with Motion and AE?
    The Motion version I am using is 3.0.2 and After Effects is the CS3 version.

    Yes this is a known problem and has been discussed a few times on this forum. It only started being the case with CS3 unfortunately. The only work around is to rename the Motion Project with a .mov on the end of the name, and import to After Effects. This works but means that the very handy feature of 'edit original' stops working, and i've also noticed a number of instabilities (crashes etc) introduced as a result.
    We have to hope they'll (apple and adobe) fix this in a future update.

  • Audio Problems with Fast/Slow/Reverse Effect in iMovie HD

    I have been having problems with the Fast/Slow/Reverse effect in iMovie HD with my movie clips. Whenever I apply the effect (reversing at the same playback speed, not sped up or slowed down), when it is finished rendering the audio is choppy, yet on time (but still backwards, as wanted). Before applying the effect, the preview of it works flawlessly, it is only when it is applied that the audio gets choppy. Extracting the audio will not help either because the video will still be playing backwards while the audio will be playing normally (since it can't be reversed on its own). I have tried other effects on the same clips that don't effect the audio and they work perfectly. Any suggestions? I'd really appreciate your help! Thanks.
    Macintosh Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   iLife '05 : iMovie HD

    Have you got an isolated hard drive with ALL of the required applications and other resources together with the operating system ? Using an external HD to SAVE a running iMovie project is asking for problems. Back up the Project on another HD sure, but don't use System on one HD, running files on another.

  • Problem with picture in burned DVD from Final Cut Express quicktime file

    I use Final Cut Express HD to edit. On more than one occasion, I have exported a movie using quicktime conversion and then used iDVD to burn it to a DVD. Every time I do this, the DVD's picture is shaky, especially when there is fast motion. I have tried burning with both the best performance and best quality settings in iDVD and it doesn't make a difference. The same problem occured when I tried to use a friend's computer to do the same thing. We both have the new 20" iMacs. I am not sure if it is Final Cut or iDVD that is the problem, but quicktime files that are not from Final Cut Express are not a problem. I have a feeling it is a setting somewhere that needs to be changed. Thanks!

    Greetings.
    I've personally never used iDVD for any sort of DVD authoring, but the symptoms that you're describing are giving me the impression that there may be an issue with the MPEG 2 encode. Again, I don't know iDVD so you might be better off asking this question in the iDVD forum.

    Interesting ... I'm pretty sure that there's later HP-supplied firmware (409 and 609) available for that drive, but it isn't showing up on the Downloads page for your particular HP model.
    There's also another problem we need to check on with a TS-H653N supplied by HP: whether or not you need to get a free replacement.
    So we'd better try downloading and running the following HP utility (it checks to see if you've got an affected drive):

  • Problems with the CD burner

    I have an iMac G5 with OSX 10.4.6 and I'm trying to burn a blank CD, the problem is that after I insert the CD and the Mac asks about opening Finder or any other application, I select OK and then I get an error message that reads something like:
    "This operation can't be completeed since you don't have the enough privileges on some items."
    What does this means? I already tried with several blank CDs and the same problem happens (not with any other CD, only blank ones).

    First of all, in System Preferences/CD-DVD controls panel, choose what do you want to do with an inserted empty CD or DVD.
    Most people choose to using open Toast titanium (or the cd burning software) that they use.
    On the other hand, it seems that you should better repair privileges on your system.
    Open Disk Utility (located in Applications/Utilities), choose your HD, and click the button "Repair Permissions".
    After operation is completed (it depends on the size of your HD) try burning again.

  • Problems with downloading and burning

    I just created an account to iTunes yesterday,I'm using Music card to pay for my music. I left my computer downloading Missy higgins album last night and in the morning there was an error on the screen saying something about download error, last song of the album didn't come in, well, I tried to burn rest 12 songs on to a CD but whole iTunes froze once i pressed burning button on righthand corner. Well, I tried to check for purchased music and it started to download the last song again, but gave an error again once it finished downloading. There propably was an error number but I forgot to check it.
    Then I went back to that burning problem again. I went to prefrences and there in to burning options and iTunes froze again, just from being in options. What the .... is wrong with this thing?

    Ok, error message is following when downloading error occurres:
    "There was an error downloading your purchased music.
    an unknown error occurred (-208)"
    Apple support gives me this answer:
    "In some cases, you may get the following error message when you try to play purchased music or video or access the iTunes Music Store using iTunes 6:
    "We could not complete your Music Store request. An unknown error occurred (-208)."
    To resolve this issue, update to iTunes 6.0.1 or later. "
    But my iTunes is allready a version 6.0.1.3

  • Problems with music and burning

    Hi, Thanks for your interest in my problems. I have been using iDVD for years. Always the same copy/version. In the past day or so I've noticed two problems.
    1) When I go in to the media tab and select audio, it shows the top of my iTunes library and various play lists, but it won't show me the entire library by song. I tried to click on the library and music tabs to open it to view my songs, but it just starts to play the first song in the library. How can I get it back to allowing me to view my full iTunes library by song?
    2) This is even more important. I've tried to burn a video that I created in iMovie (6) as always. The DVD will not play in any of my DVD players in the house. I've always done everything the same way. Create the project in iMovie and share it to iDVD, select a 'theme', select the music (see problem #1 above) and hit burn. When it's completed it pops the DVD out and normally, but not yesterday or today, is says 'do I want to burn another disc' to insert it now. For the past two days, it has not given me this message. It says done. and it only gives me the option to cancel. When I hit cancel, it says 'cleaning up' and then never moves again. I have to 'force quit' it to be able to use the computer again.
    These are critical issues as I'm trying to burn copies of some video I shot, in anticipation of being hired to do some projects. If I can't show what I've done, I don't stand a chance of getting the job.
    Can anyone shed some light on my problems and more importantly, tell me how to fix them?

    Your first issue sounds like a dimple dot problem. In your media/audio panel you will see a small dimple dot equidistant from the right and left sides of the panel. Put your cursor on it and drag it up or down to reveal the next display screen Underneath. In your case the dimple dot will be on the bottom, and you need to drag it upward to reveal the songs in your iTunes library.
    Your second issue might be solved by using a different DVD brand, like Sony, Verbatim, or HP. But since you also are getting a "force quit" situation" I suggest that you delete iDVD preferences and do a permissions repair. Sometimes permissions and preferences can get corrupted. Whenever iDVD starts acting funny, a common maintenance procedure is to do the following: Delete preferences by closing iDVD and trashing the file com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User (the House icon)/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility App on your Mac. Open the Disk Utilities window and select the Mac hard drive icon at the top of the side pane at the left. Then click on the Repair Permissions button. When you have repaired permissions and deleted preferences, restart your computer and launch iDVD. iDVD will replace the .plist file that you deleted. Be sure also that you have sufficient free disk space on your hard drive for iDVD to function correctly. 15-20 GB often is recommended by users of this forum. After doing all of the above, relaunch iDVD and see whether you still have the problem.

  • Problem with iPhoto files burned to DVD

    I just installed my iLife '06. I want to back up my digital photos on DVD's. I've tried both DVD-R and DVD+R to burn to. They burn through completion stating when finished, that the DVD was burned successfully. When I re-insert back into the CD player, no disk image appears, and the CD player doesn't engage whatsoever. After 30seconds. it's ejected.
    My intention is strictly to back up the photo and related data files. I'ld like to actually eventually delete them altogether from iPhoto, to free up some space...once I know I've got it all on a disk.
    It plays commercially purchased DVD's just fine, as well as Burned CD's.
    My profiler shows I have a Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-1060
    DVD-Write -R, -RW +R, +RW.
    How do I determine what is really wrong, and correct it?
    (I originally posted this in a different forum and it was suggested that this forum would be more appropriate for my question. Sorry for the redundancy)

    As of yet, no.
    I just attempted to burn a DVD using a DVD-R. I selected a goup of photos from iPhoto and drug them to a burnfolder on my desktop. I selected: file>burndisk.
    After the "burn" was completed, the DVD disk image with the burnfolder title was still on the desktop. I ejected it and then re-loaded it. Again, there was no response from the CD drive (no sound or movement), no disk image appeared on the desktop, and no disk image appeared on the Disk Utilities window which I had kept open to monitor it. After 30 seconds the disk drawer opened on its own.
    Considering how inexpensive a new and upgraded optical drive is, maybe I should just replace it, though I would still like to discover what the cause this current problem is, regardless.
