Where are the Ken Burns controls?

I've got iPhoto 4.0.3. The iPhoto Help menu tells me to go to View>Thumbnails, but my View menu doesn't have Thumbnails as an option. Nevertheless, I can get a screen full of thumbnails when I click on the "Organise" button at the bottom of the iPhoto pane. The help menu says to select the photo you want (no problem there) and then to select the Ken Burns Effect box ( a screenshot of which is shown), but this box is nowhere to be seen. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Where is this durn Ken Burns thing?

Ken,
iPhoto 5 has features not available in iPhoto 4. If you want to use the Ken Burns effect, use iMovie to make a movie from photos in your iPhoto collection.
I don't know how you got the wrong Help document (maybe a foul up when your machine was built?), and I'm not sure of any way to fix it other than by deleting the errant document and running the iPhoto 4 installer again. You'll need to delete the iPhoto 5 Help document and any iPhoto-related ".pkg" files in the root level "Library >Receipts" folder before you reinstall. Everything else can stay.

  • Where are the A/V controls in version 10.3 on a mac x

    I am a new Mac user and I am running the latest operating system. I am starting to use Itunes and need to adjust the playback speed of audio and video files. I was told to use quicktime player and that going to the windows tab to turn on A/V controls but a pick for that does not appear. I wm running ver 10.3 of quicktime or is there another way to adjust playback speeds in Itunes.

    There is no A/V controls window in QuickTimve version 10.
    There is A/V controls in QuickTime Player 7. Both versions can be used but 7 handles more formats.

    In OS 10.5.8 where are the controls or code for selecting dragging/moving files and folders copying and pasting kept?
    Is it part of one of the system apps?
    Mine do not work any fixing tips?

    Good call on on throwing away finder plist It worked on my desktop/screen saver problem...But, it didn't fix the dragging and moving items/folders and paste.
    My network is still confused too.
    I threw out the desktop plist as well still nothing...
    I did run the anti-virus Macscan to check just for peace of mind it did find a spyware from CNN...
    Thanks for your help at least one thing worked so far.
    Any other suggestions, besides reloading OS...?

  • Stills using the Ken Burns effects are bad quality

    The high quality still I'm inserting into the timeline using the Ken Burns effects are bad quality.  Do you know why?  I don't have that problem in iMovie.

    Yes, I have rendered it (I think).  Not sure how to do that and don't know how to get the "complete specs" of the still image and project.

  • Can you control the timing of the Ken Burns effect?

    I've been experimenting with the Ken Burns effect, using it on video clips.  By default, the KB effect starts at the beginning of the clip and finishes at the end. 
    I would like to the KB effect to start at a certain point in the clip and finish at a certain point in the clip, leaving the image zoomed-in (or zoomed-out) at whatever point I choose to stop the effect.  Is this possible?  If so, how?  I would think maybe I could do it with keyframes, but I can't figure out how.

    LOL--I just bought some more tutorials.  I will say that learning FCPX is vastly easier than trying to learn FCP6 was.  For me, there's no comparison.  Trying to learn FCP6 was horrible.  This is fun.  I know it doesn't have all the features many of the pros want, but it is fantastic for my needs.  It is much more intuitive, but I guess I still have to put more time in.
    I just tried your suggestion, and it works fine, thanks!  That's exactly what I was looking for.  I really didn't like trying to use Transform because I was having to expand the image beyond the frame size and it just seemed like a very crude way to do what I was trying to accomplish.

  • Using the Ken Burns effect in I Photo 5

    The first time I worked on a slide show I was able to use the Ken Burns effect with no problems. Later on opening I Photo and clicking on slide show I no longer have the controls for the Ken Burns effect. There is just a blank space where they should be. Why did this happen ? How do I get the controls back?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Vernon

    Vernon:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What may have happened is that one or more items within the iPhoto application package have had their permissions changed so you do not have access. Run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions. If that doesn't help try moving the application to the desktop and making a duplicate of it-select it and type Command-D. Now move the duplicated to the applications folder and rename to just iPhoto. Now see if the KB controls come back.
    Next would be a reinstallation of iPhoto. You'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. Now reinstall iPhoto 5 and immediately update to the latest version. Then repair disk permissions.
    Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

  • In 8.1.2 i have un checked the Ken BUrns effect in some individual slides. Sometimes it turns itself back on. At first I thought I'd made the mistake myself, but it has happend many times.

    in 8.1.2 i have un checked the Ken Burns effect in some individual slides. Sometimes it turns itself back on. At first I thought I'd made the mistake myself, but it has happend many times. Can I avoid this? Is the software flawed?

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • 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. 

  • Constant Crashes when I try to manipulate the Ken Burns Effect

    Im trying to edit a slideshow where Im using the Ken Burns effect.
    When I try to set the position of the photo at the start or end of the move, iPhoto usually crashes.
    It will only let me alter the Zoom amount.
    It cant seem to handle a repositioning.
    What is the deal?!
    It is supposed to be able to do this.
    Is this because the newest iPhoto is beyond the specs of my G5 tower?
    I have to make 2 adjustments then quit just to save my minor changes or else all is lost when I crash.
    BUMMER.

    There have been reports of issues with video cards from older machines and iPhoto 09.
    Are all the Slideshow options available on your machine?
    Post the Crash Log.
    It's at Home / Library / Logs / Crash-Reporter / iphoto.crash.log
    Double click on the file and it will open in the Console. Copy and Paste it in here.

  • Importing photos & I dont want the ken burns effect

    I want to import photos into imovie to make a slideshow like I used to in earlier versions of. However, when I import a photo now, it imports somewhat zoomed in and off center.
    I do not use the Ken Burns effect, so it is not on.
    Also I am doing a straight import from the folder. If I try this from iphoto the ken burns effect is turned off and I still have this problem.
    Has anyone else experienced this with the new version of imovie?

    Although it looks like a bug, Randy, it's actually not. It's how Ken Burns works in all versions of iMovie.
    The Ken Burns checkbox ONLY controls whether or not the image is imported with an animated zoom or pan. The OTHER Ken Burns settings — the duration, the zoom and the pan — are ALWAYS in effect. Those settings affect the current import. And future imports too, until you change them.
    If your image imports off center it's because the Ken Burns pan setting is currently set off center. To re-center it, turn ON the Ken Burns checkbox. Stop the preview. Click on the "Start" side of the Start/End thingy. Drag the zoom slider a bit to the right, then all the way left. Repeat for the End side of the thingy. Now the image is centered, and the zoom set to 1.00. Click Apply, so it sticks.
    Notice you can drag the preview image off center. That's probably how it got changed in the first place. Usually one uses the zoom and pan in combination to crop an image. To show just the left side of the image, for example.

  • 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.

  • Where are the drivers for HP LaserJet 5P for Windows 8.1 (64bit)?

    Had been using HP LaserJet 5p printer with HP LaserJet 5p printer driver, but had printer disconnect for a few months due to not have black toner.  Now I want to use the printer and my control panel does not show HP Laser 5p printer for my tablet but shows it for my laptop.   I can not find the driver on the HP support list and the support list does not recognize  HP LaserJet 5p.

  • I have an older version of imovie.  After I change the photos using the Ken Burns effect and save them, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' to change the zoom, the picture appears black and I can't change the zoom?

    I have a five year old version of imovie that generally works fine.  However, when I add a photo using the 'Ken Burns' effect then save the movie, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' the picture appears black and I cannot change the zoom.  Any suggestions?

    Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
    Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
    See here:
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
    Let us know how that works for you.

  • 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.

  • How to manually zoom in using the Ken Burns effect

    I love the way the Ken Burns effect zooms in on a photo. But it isn't optimally positioned on my photo. So I want to manually control this effect from start to finish of the duration. I understand how to slide left, right, top or down but its not obvious how to make it zoom in or out from start to finish. Can someone tell me how to do this.
    Thanks in advance.
    --Mickey

    pick the photo in the slide show - click on the settings icon in the tool bar and on this slide - click on start next to Ken Burns at the bottom of the settings window and zoom the photo to the desired size using the zoom in the lower right hand corner and pan to the desired starting point by dragging - click end and do the same for the final position and you have it
