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.

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.

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 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?

How do you turn off the Ken Burns effect?

I have students who are using iMovie to create animations. We can't get iMovie to NOT apply the Ken Burns effect to the still images they are making and importing. How do we turn this "feature" off?

Are you talking about iMovie for iOS?
I will assume you are as this is the iOS forum.
You cannot turn this off.
iMovie iOS is not the app you should use to make animations.
I suggest you have a look in the AppStore for a better app, there are a few that are better suited to make video from still frames.
Better yet do it on a computer, you will have many more options.
But again iMovie Mac is not the best app to do this.
QuickTime Pro actually has better importing of image sequences the iMovie.

How do I turn OFF the Ken Burns effect in slideshows--it defaults there no matter if selected or not.

The Ken Burns zoom and pan appears on every slide in every slide show - despite the Ken Burns box NOT ever being checked.
Any ideas ? Thanks.

Thanks, Leonie. I didn't realize that slideshows had themes - but nevermind. While searching for it, I found the settings control that I had overlooked (or had been hidden) before. It fixed the problem. Appreciate your help.

Turning off the Ken Burns Effect

How do I shut off the Ken Burns Effect to a specific image? I tried using it (I hated it) now I want to go back to just displaying the image. Do I need to delete from the timeline and start over?

In the inspector reset the Crop parameter.

Anyone know of any Apps that will do what I need?

Imac does not turn off.

hello,
I have an imac, running on os x lion. u know how, when you click on shutdown, it shows the white screen. sometimes my imac does not turn off and keep showing it. could you please tell me what i can do to solve this problem.
thanks

The safe boot more or less resets system files.
When it is something in the hardware:
1.do the Pram and the SMC resets:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
2. shutdown the mac and startup while holding the ALT(option) key: choose the Recovery Disk, from the window choose Disk Utility, select the Lion disk, choose "repair disk".
When it is not a hardware problem:
3. List the applications you installed in the last 6 months, also the ones from the Appstore.
4. List the plugins (extensions) you have in Safari.

Is it possible to undo the Ken Burns effect on all photos at once in iMovie, rather than clicking "crop" and "fit" on each individual photo?

Is it possible to undo the Ken Burns effect on all photos at once in iMovie, rather than clicking "crop" and "fit" on each individual photo?

Hey Villiam, Kevin is referring to setting a movement on a photo setting keyframes (like zoom out to in), right-clicking on Motion, and choose save as preset. This will put that movement into your presets folder under Effects. I am going to try this on my next montage and see if I can find some efficiencies. Thanks Kevin, that was a great tip!!!
Also thanks to Jim. I spent like 30 min looking at all the keyboard shortcuts. It's a little overwhelming to establish a solid shortcut format that a team of editors can learn and use. I'm going to be trying the FCP short cuts, then go back to the default. It looks like the PR default has a lot of existing and helpful shortcuts assigned already. It's just going to take getting used to a new platform.
I'm still looking for tools and/or methods to allow an editor to assemble a 60 second montage with 10 photos, VO and music in 30 minutes. It's going to be a challenge but I think it's possible with the right innovative process. I'll still challenge anyone to find a way to quickly assemble a montage in an assembly line or template-based fashion using Adobe Premiere CC where there's on-screen text, advanced transitions, timed to VO, etc.
I think I'm dreaming for a tool to automatically do this within Premiere, while I think the answer for now might just be customizing motion presets and creating a favorites folder of transitions that can be dragged onto each clip. I'll see if there’s a way to apply a set of transitions or motion presets to a series of photos on the timeline opposed to doing it one by one. I can see this solution being important as video montages are becoming more popular in our industry, and the faster we can make them using a professional software package like Premiere the more prosperous we will be.

Screen does not turn off near my ear

The screen backlight does not turn off when you place it near your ear. Anyone else have this problem?

What I found, especially with my Boxwave case (that iLounge didn't give high marks for), was that if you hold the earhole up directly to your ear, the screen does turn off.
I checked and rechecked it in the mirror, and if I deviate a few cm higher or lower, then no, it won't. But if it's right up to my ear, then it does.
By the way, I love the Boxwave case. The leather foldover protects the screen when sitting in my brief case.

Imac 27" does not turn off

Hi,
I have a brand new iMac 27" all in one, which works perfectly except for the fact that 3 times out of 4 it does not turn off with the normal command and I am obliged to turn it off with the back switch, after it remain for various minutes with the blue window on and the wheel running.
Initially I tried to disconnect an external HDD which was connected by USB and seemed to have solved the problem for a few days, but now the problem shows up again.
At the moment I have connected only a Bamboo device on the USB port.
I have tried to Verify the HDD and repair the disk, but no improvement.
Any suggestion on how to proceed? Thank you
SS

If all the prior steps have not resolved the issue then at this point I would suggest:
Remove any additional memory you may have added to the system
Reinstall of the OS: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8177.html
If the issue persists after you follow the above steps, you may wish to make an appointment with a Mac Genius at an Apple store, contact AppleCare via phone, or contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider for assistance.
If this issue was occurring right out of the box on the brand new system without you adding any additional software / migrating data from an older Mac, be sure to let them know that as well. Its unusual to have a blank, brand new system have this kind of behavior so that will save them some diagnostic steps.
Best of luck to you.

My iPod 160GB just does not turn OFF!

My iPod 160 GB just does not turn off. Every time i press down the play/pause button, the iPod switches off and comes ON almost immediately. This happens even when i switch it off and immediately turn on the "Hold" button. I am having this problem only since the last 2 months or so. What could be the problem?

Then you should try restoring the iOS software next. Read this and pay attention to the last part of the article that describes recovery mode, you may have to restore your iPad that way.

Have you done the safe boot mentioned above?
Can you click on the apple on the left of the menu bar? Did you try Paul_31's advice to choose force quit to see if there are any applications that are not responding?
I tend to agree that it may be time to take it to an Apple service center for hands-on attention.
Apple normally doesn't replace a machine with a new one unless they have been unable to repair an issues(s) after several tries.

Selecting photo then clicking "Fit" does NOT turn off the Ken Burns effect.
