IMovie Loves Ken Burns' Effects...Geez
When Using the New Ken Burns Interface you will wonder why all of your pictures are moving and you don't want them too.
The Ken Burns effect (a pan and zoom effect) allows you to add video motion to your still photos, and iMovie HD 6 features some nice enhancements to the interface. The Ken Burns controls now sit on a floating palette and the Preview window has additional controls—just like the video effects mentioned above. To play the effect, click the play button; click this button again to stop the motion. Click the loop button (the circling arrows) to loop the effect. To clear an effect, click the delete (X) button. You can also click the checkmark button to apply the effect.
Import one picture at a time, adjust the parameters for each and save when finished.
iMovie allows you to edit video to your heart's content without permanently altering the files. This is known as non-destructive editing. Here are four ways to edit clips without destroying your files. (If you ever forget which clips you've trimmed, remember that untrimmed clips have rounded corners at both ends, while a trimmed clip displays a straight edge on any side that was altered.)
Its touchy here so watch you click: Direct Trimming—Need to shorten a clip? Just select one, position the pointer at either end, and drag toward its center. Dragging from the left side trims the beginning of the clip; dragging from the right side trims the end of the clip. The farther you drag, the more you trim. For precision editing, watch the preview window as you drag to see your exact edit point.
