Slight pause at end of each ken burns effect

In iMovie 10, there seems to be a slight pause at the end of each ken burns transition, ie it pauses for a split second at the "end" frame, and there is a stop in motion from one pic to the next. The previous iMovie didn't do this. How do I get smooth ken burns from one pic to the next, so there is no pause?

I can not reproduce this whether there is a transition between the clips or not.

  • Pausing at the end of a Ken Burns Effect

    Hi,
    I have a number of photos that I am using within imovie. I am applying a Ken Burns effect to scroll or zoom on the photo. At the end of the effect I would like the photo to pause.
    The viewer would see a photo, the zoom/scroll get to the final position, then the photo held for a couple of seconds.
    Is there a way of acheiving this - i know i can import the photo twice, the first doing the effect, the second with no effect - but how do i get the second photo exactly the same as the first photo after effect?

    I don't understand what "Option-click" means: how is this executed? I
    Hold down the Option key on the keyboard, then click on the Start end of the Start/End thingy. In this context, Option-clicking applies the End settings to the Start, so the clip no longer has an animated zoom.
    I also don't see how one selects the duration of the "pause".
    The whole clip we're making is the pause. It's a second clip that plays after the first (zooming) clip. These directions create a second clip that "pauses" after the first clip zooms.
    Option-dragging the first clip makes a copy that we change into a pause. (Holding down the Option key and dragging the clip to another location duplicates the clip.)
    Hope it makes better sense.

  • Ken Burns Effect Simple Question :)

    I'm doing a video slideshow in iMovie '09 and I'm using the Ken Burns effect to pan around the pictures. I'm narrating a childrens book, and as I get to the end of the Ken Burns effect on the photo (zoomed in a little), I'd like to keep the image there, still, not moving, for a few extra seconds. Is there any way to do this?
    Thank you very much for your help!
    Jordan

    YOu can do this by setting the Ken Burns Effect like you want it. Then copy and paste that clip so that your copy is right behind the first clip with the KBE.
    Then open the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns tool. Drag the beginning rectangle so it is the exact size of the ending rectangle. You can let that stay that size for a few seconds. Then repeat the process and zoom out if you want.

  • Trying to add a pause after Ken Burns effect to hold the photo

    I am trying to set a pause to my still photos after using the Ken Burns effect.  So it starts zoomed in on an area of the photo and pulls out and then I want it to hold for a few seconds so you can see the full photo.   Any suggestions?  I can't find anything anywhere???

    1) copy the photo with the Ken Burns effect
    2) place the copy after the original photo
    3) edit the copy, reverse the order of the Ken Burns effect using the arrows next to the word "Start" so the end point is now the start point, change "Ken Burns" effect to "Crop", and change the duration of the copy
    If you want the pause at the beginning
    - place the copy before the original photo
    - edit the copy by just changing the "Ken Burns" effect to a "Crop"  (i.e., crop using the start point),and change the duration of the copy
    If you have a "pause, ken burns effect, pause" don't use a transition after the 1st pause and before the 2nd pause. 
    With a group picture, you can simulate a real Ken Burns effect with
    transition, pause, zoom in, pause, [pan, pause] ... [pan, pause,] zoom out, pause, transition

  • Holding the end of a Ken Burns frame

    I want to hold the end of a Ken Burns zoom. The input is a _slide or photo_, not a film clip. How do I create this effect?

    Here is how you do it.
    1) Select the photo in the iMovie project and set the Ken Burns start and end rectangles.
    2) With the Photo selected, select Edit/Copy and then Paste a duplicate of the photo behind the first photo.
    3) Select the second instance of the Photo and select the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns tool. It should already be set to Ken Burns mode. I would move the start green rectangle so that it overlays the red end rectangle exactly.
    4) Now, select CROP instead of Ken Burns.
    5) Click DONE and you are done.

  • Can I undo the Ken Burns effect for all clips at once (instead of pulling up each clip individually)?

    Can I undo the Ken Burns effect for all clips at once in iMovie (instead of pulling up each clip individually)?

    Yes, you can select multiple clips then Adjust, Crop, click on "Fit".

  • 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. 

  • I created an album and have been showing it presentation style, ken burns effects etc. Now every time I try to re-run it it starts from the end, last picture first! Can't seem to be able to reverse it. Any clue anyone?

    I created an album and have been showing it presentation style, ken burns effects etc. Now every time I try to re-run it it starts from the end, last picture first! Can't seem to be able to reverse it. Any clue anyone?

    First try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks delete the contents the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto, reset iPhoto's preferences and try again.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If you're running Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
    Next, if necessary, continue with the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Can I slow down the rate of movement at end of a Ken Burns?

    And can I bring up a still, then have the burns effect begin aftyer a second or so?

    Just add the same photo with no KB effect before the photo that you are adding the KB effect to.
    Basically you will be adding the photo twice. one with the KB effect one without. The key is to make sure your KB effect starts at the same spot as the preceding image.... otherwise there could be a little jerk
    yes....
    To slow down the rate of a Ken Burns effect simply add more time that makes the movement much slower...

  • Ken burns effect & photo size

    when using the ken burns effect---I'm customizing the start & end settings for each photo/slide.....some of the photos/slides I'm not able to actually "zoom out" show that the entire photo fits into the screen......It seems that...if I have the "Image Size Slide" located in the bottom right corner of the screen....pulled/slide as far left (zooming out as far as it will let me)....that the entire photo should be displayed......I appreciate any insight & help..
    thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. When you set the end or start point where you want the full image to show be sure to move the slider at the bottom to the far left. I noticed it usually defaults to slightly less than full screen.

  • Jumpy ken burns effect

    I have been very happy using the ken burns effect when exporting slide shows from iphoto to idvd. however, i am working on an iMovie project now (i have to use iMovie due to video clips) and I find the Ken Burns effect has a jumpy quality from one photo to the next. i never had this problem with iphoto slideshows, the transitions from one photo to the next were always smooth. it almost feels like the effect speeds up as it pans over the photo, then jumps to the next one and speeds up again. i am a novice at this and hope their is a simple solution. i have been working on this project for months now and would hate to start over. any suggestions?

    it almost feels like the effect speeds up as it pans over the photo, then jumps to the next one and speeds up again. i
    Yes, that's a known problem. Unfortunately, there is no ideal workaround.
    It helps to use slow zooms/pans. It also helps to add a transition between the clips, which covers the first second or so and helps eliminate the sense of acceleration. Another solution is to set the clip duration a second or two longer than you really need, then trim off the end.
    There are third-party products such as Still Life and Photo to Movie that let you create Ken Burns-style clips you import to iMovie. Some users prefer those to Ken Burns.
    Please tell Apple you don't like this "feature". Maybe it will be fixed. Unfortunately, while the iPhoto programmers got Ken Burns right the first time, iMovie programmers keep dropping new bugs into the Ken Burns Effect with each new version of iMovie. It's really quite astonishing.

  • I Must Be Stupid (Ken Burns Effect)

    My problem is thus.
    Using the Ken Burns effect on a photo which lets say is a full frontal picture of someone standing it zooms in on the mid-section and head is gone. What I want to do is start the effect on the head and zoom out to a full body shot. I say I am stupid because I have read and re-read the help for this topic and I just don't get it having tried anything. Any help in accomplishing this step by step would be apreciated and a place in heaven will be awaiting you. LOL. Kevin

    Kevin:
    With the KB effect turned on for that photo, set the KB "lever" to start and zoom and adjust the photo to get what you want for the start. Then click the lever to end and reset the photo with the zoom and sliders. That should do it.
    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.

  • Ken Burns effect--all or nothing

    It seems that despite its promise, it is not possible to get KB effect in individual slides in a slideshow. I have Automatic Ken Burns turned off (settings), and I have checked individual KB (sometimes "start", sometimes "end". but when the slideshow runs, no KB effect (unless Automatice KB, which affects each slide).
    BTW, I noticed this annoying (non)feature with iPhoto 06 as well, and was hoping for a fix!

    message to self: Try reading the directions, dummy! There's nothing wrong with Ken Burns Effect when you do it right!
    iPhoto Help showed me how to use KB effect. What a relief!
    unrelated comment: Until I typed the last line, I hadn't seen how the "i" in iPhoto, iMac, etc reads as an inverted exclamation point. Subliminal marketing. That has probably been more obvious to Spanish users. ¿Right?

  • Ken burns effect editing

    I read this statemnt on a forum:
    *Do you have iMovie? You can create a slideshow in iMovie, and the Ken Burns effect gives you a great deal of control. You can set whether it zooms in or zooms out, and you can control the exact starting point and ending point, as well as how long it takes. It's really great for synchronizing photos with music, as you can make each photo stay on screen as quickly or as slowly as you need.*
    But I can't find the way to do it. I get Ken burns effect but I don't know how to edit it (every time the photo chanes I get jerky issues) Can anyone light my way??
    Tnx

    1) Drag a photo into your project from the Media Browser (or you can drag and drop a JPEG directly from a Finder Folder.)
    2) Select the photo so there is a yellow rubber band around it. Select the Fit/Crop/Ken Burns Tool
    3) Use the Green rectangle as a start point. Click to bring the red rectangle forward and set the end point.
    4) Click done
    Control the length of the Ken Burns by changing the Duration of the Photo.
    An additional thing that may help: iMovie 08 may default to editing in increments of one tenth of one second. In iMovie Preferences, you can change this parameter so that it edits at the frame level (e.g. 30 frames per second for NTSC formats). Once you are editing at the frame level, you will have a great deal more control over "jerky" moments. I never see them, but it is possible that if you are editing at .1 second, some strays occur that you can't see. To change this parameter select iMOVIE/PREFERENCES and make sure there is a check in the top box that says "Display Timecodes". I also check VIEW/PLAYHEAD INFO so that I see the timecodes as I skim.
    Once you change this parameter, 1:9 will mean 1 second and 9 frames, not 1 and 9 tenths of a second.
    Also, if you see jerky movement while editing, but it looks OK when rendered - that is a sign of an underpowered processor or too little memory (not likely in your case).

  • Ken Burns Effect not working as expected.

    Hi,
    I have created a slideshow in iPhoto 08 and want to have all of the slides use the ken burns effect except the first one (i want this to be a 20 second title photo). To get this to work, i have disabled the Automatic Ken Burns effect in the settings menu and then clicked the Ken Burns checkbox in all of the photos from the second one onwards. Even with these checkboxes selected, the photos just stay still and the ken burns effect does not work. Am i going about this the wrong way?
    Any ideas appreciated.
    Joe.

    I believe that if you do not use the automatic ken burns effect you need to set the effect for each photo - pick one or two and with the KB slider to the left set the view for the beginning photos and then slide the slider to the right and set the end view - then it will transition between those two (I'm thinking that you can turn auto automatic and override it for just the first slide by making the start and end the same so the transition does not really do anything
    Try that first (it is easier )
