While working in iMovie... how do I shut-off Ken Burn effect ?

I using an iMac wit Lion and trying to develop a movie of photos and music combined.   When creating the project it automatically turn on Ken Burns and now half my photos are chopped off heads.   How do I turn KB off???

Click on a photo in  your project. Then click the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns tool in the middle toolbar. You can choose Crop, which will cut off the sides to make it fit in the frame (but you can choose the rectangle that shows). You can choose FIT which will show the whole photo by adding letterboxing. Or you can choose Ken Burns and set the beginning and ending rectangle.
If you would like to set a default for all future photos that you add to this project, click FILE/PROJECT PROPERTIES. This choose FIT, CROP, or Ken Burns for Initial Photo Placement.

  • 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

    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 can I turn off Ken Berns effect in slide shows

    How can I turn off Ken Berns effect as the default in Aperture slide shows.

    Depending on what theme you choose (this would be for the "Classic" theme), it should be under the "Crop" setting, which will be a choice in Default Settings when you're in your slideshow, on the right side of the window. For crop choose "Fit in Frame" or "Fill Frame" as opposed to "Ken Burns." You can also do this for individual slides, turn it on or off...
    Hope that helps.

  • 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!

  • How do I get the Ken Burns Effect?

    How in FCE do I achieve the Ken Burns effect which I used a lot in iMovie '08?

    Hello Piero,
    Thank-you for your contribution. Your plug-in comes in very handy as I have decided to drop producing slideshows using iPhoto after it lost my slide show project. So many hours of work down the drain!
    Anyhow, here I am looking for the quickest way to get similar results using FCE and I find your plugin. As I am getting familiar with FCE I want ahead with a trial of your plugin. My only question at this stage is what could cause the pf folder not to show up in the Video generators? The pf folder does show in the Video filters but not the Genrator filter.
    I did follow your instructions with care at:
    http://web.mac.com/piero.fiorani/PieroFFCE_Effect/PluginsInstallation.html
    but still cannot figure out the cause.
    Thanks for your help,
    JM

  • Imovie will not render photos with ken burns effect

    I have started to produce a video and have tried to import photos from both iphotos and straight from desktop however when i do this the red bar showing the state of rendering does not move. The photo will not render and therfor i am unable to use the ken burns effect. Could anyone please give me any idea of what i am doing wrong.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    What file type is Your photos eg .tiff, .pict or .jpg ?
    What size are they eg 1Mb, 10Mb or 100Mb ?
    How much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disc ?
    Ps When ready - Don't use Share/Export to iDVD from within iMovie. Just drop Your movie icon
    (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    OR - Your movie project in iMovie will be harmed and You'll have to re-do it ! ! AND
    the DVD disc will be severely pixelated - extreme low quality Ds

  • IMovie Crashing when importing photo with Ken Burns Effect

    iMovie is crashing all the time when I am trying to import a photo with Ken burns effect using media browser and hitting "apply". Is this a known problem ? If I dont apply Ken Buruns effect then it imports it fine.
    I am trying to put Photo at the begining of my project ( and then put title on that photo). If I have any clip in the begining and then try importing photo with ken burn's effect then it is not crashing, but it still does not import it. I click "apply" and it does soemthing , I can see the clip in timeline for a sec and then it disappears. So either way, cant use any photos anywhere with Ken Burn's effect. Whats going on?
    I have more than enough space available on my HDD and I do not think there is any conflicting QT plugins I have ( It's all default Install). This is so consistent that it seems like a Bug but can't find this exact case mentioned anywhere in discussions.

    Welcome to the forum! And thanks for such an insightful post.
    I have two guesses here:
    o The Ken Burns code of iMovie has a problem with partitions
    o The Ken Burns code of iMovie has a problem with access rights
    I've never seen a Ken Burns problem with partitions (I've used multiple partitions for years with no problems). I suspect that's not the cause.
    But I think you've hit the nail on the head that iMovie may have a problem with permissions/access rights. I don't know exactly what the problem is — or whether it's caused by iMovie or OSX — but there is behavior that suggests something isn't right.
    I suspect the issue, whatever it is, causes a failure to save the rendered Ken Burns clip inside the project package. The red bar runs, but the rendered clip isn't saved to disk. My guess is OSX refuses to allow iMovie to save the file for OSX doesn't believe YOU have permission.
    One would think that using the Finder to set the permissions of the project package would solve the problem, but it doesn't seem to.
    There are two possible solutions:
    1. Set the partition to ignore permissions. In the Finder, click on the partition and Get Info. Turn ON the checkbox "Ignore permissions on this volume";
    2. Use Disk Utility to reformat (erase) the partition. Somehow that seems to fix the problem.
    Here's some history which may suggest another solution: In an earlier version of iMovie a similar problem occurred, where iMovie would refuse to open a project. It had somehow decided you didn't have permission to edit the project.
    The only solution was to use the Finder to create a new set of project folders — a folder and all the folders it normally contains — then Option-drag the FILES of the original project folder to the appropriate folders. (Option-dragging COPIED the files instead of moving them.) The new project folder would now open normally.
    If you are adept at working with packages, you might try creating your own package (which contains all the normal folders) then Option-drag the files of the problem project to your package.
    Once I saw an error -52 announcement, but it was not reproducible.
    Error -52 is a "Get file position error", which (may) suggest a disk directory error. That may be a disk issue unrelated to iMovie. You might want to consider using Disk Utility to Verify/Repair that partition.
    I have a separate partition for the movies and made a
    link from my home account to the directory with the
    movies on that partition. iMovie works correctly
    except for the Ken Burns photo rendering.
    I'm never sure whether creating such a link is a good idea or not, especially for the iLife apps. Some apps don't resolve the alias as they should, which creates other problems. A "Movies" alias sends iDVD a million miles beyond Jupiter, for example, where the iDVD project joins the space dust.
    For iMovie projects saved on partitions and external drives, I just save them inside a "iMovie 6 Projects" folder on that drive. (Every new version of iMovie gets a new folder.) For convenience, I may create aliases to help navigate there, but do nothing else. Everything just works.
    If you figure out something new, please say.

  • IPhoto ver 5.0.4 "Transistions" How can I de-acativate 'Ken Burns' effect ?

    I wish to achieve a classic 'dissolve cross-fade' between STATIC images (as was available in earlier versions of iPhoto).
    How can I de-activate the 'Ken Burns' motion-graphic pan/zoom moves in version 5.0.4 ?
    Thanks

    Hi birdy,
    For "on the fly" slideshows from an album or selection of images, uncheck the "Automatic Ken Burns effect" in the Slideshow menu window that pops up. Click the "save settings" button.
    For Cinematic permanent slideshows that you created from an album or selection of images,
    Click the settings icon and in the next window uncheck the "automatic Ken burns.

  • 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.

  • Can i pan or create a ken burns effect with TEXT in imovie 11

    fotomagico allows  amazing movements of text
    i movie i see works with the actual text but
    how can i use the KEN BURN effect with TEXT
    so it doesnt stay stagnant on the screen
    aside from scrolling and drifting
    gl

    Hi
    Or if You want to elaborate a bit more You can first
    • make a project where You set text
    • Then Export this as full quality QuickTime .mov
    • Import this new clip and start a new project where You apply Ken-Burns
    OR MAY BE doing it the other way around will work better - don't think that Ken-Burns can be applied last
    AnyHow - by Export and Import as a part of process one can make extreamly complex sceens.

  • How do I shut off the plug in. I using mac OS10.4.11 and I keep getting a bar to update my plugin. The plugin will not work with os10.4.11. Everytime I go to a

    every time I go to a new site a bar is lowered and ask to update my plugin. I am using mac 10.4.11 G4 The new plugin will not work. How do I shut off the plugin update so I don't get this anoying bar ever time I go to a new web page. If there is no way to shut it off, I'll trash Firefox and go back to Safari. This just started and I'm tired of it.

    to turn off the messages about outdated plugins, enter "about:config" into the address bar of the browser, confirm the info dialog, then search for the preference named "plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin" & double-click it in order to toggle it to "true".
    please also note that firefox 3.6.28 was the last build that ran on a powerpc, however if you want to use an up-to-date browser based on firefox you can switch to "tenfourfox" - the downside is it doesn't support plugins at all
    [[Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.4 or PowerPC processors]]

  • How do you shut off I Pad with full shut off and then reboot it as I keep getting an error message that I cannot connect with I Tunes Store

    How does one shut off and reboot an I Pad? I think you have to hold button to the right for several or more seconds until a red arrow appears. I am not sure and I want to resume my connection to I tunes store and heard this is the best way for them to get back to me with certain info.

    Thanks. I tried every method to reconnect to the I Tunes store since the error was cannot connect and I could not update or download apps, even tho the I Pad worked fine otherwise. When it re booted and re set the I tunes store message popped up and asked me for some credit card and other info. When they got it I was back in business and apps could download as before. I tried every other suggestion online and this was my last chance and it worked great. My router had to be re set the other day by turning it off and then on, and that's when all this started happening. Probably changed the I Tunes setting but I never thought it would affect the IPad in any way since all my othe computers worked just fine.
    Again, many thanks.
