How do you turn off Ken Burns on iMovie mobile?

Answered by Tom Adger

To turn off the Ken Burns effect on iMovie mobile, you can follow these steps:

1) Open the iMovie app on your mobile device and select the project that contains the clip where you want to disable Ken Burns.

2) In the timeline, locate the specific clip that you want to modify. You can tap on the clip to select it and see it in the Viewer at the top of the screen.

3) In the Viewer, you’ll see various options for editing and enhancing your clip. Look for the Ken Burns option, which is usually enabled by default for photos and videos.

4) To disable the Ken Burns effect, simply tap on the “Ken Burns” option in the Viewer. This will toggle the effect on or off for the selected clip.

5) Once you tap on the “Ken Burns” option, you should see a pop-up menu or a checkbox indicating whether the effect is enabled or disabled. Make sure it is set to “Disabled” or uncheck the box if necessary.

6) After disabling the Ken Burns effect, you can preview the clip in the Viewer or play it back in the timeline to see the changes. The clip should now appear without any zooming or panning effects.

It’s worth noting that the Ken Burns effect can be a great way to add dynamic motion to your photos and videos, but there may be instances where you prefer a more static or straightforward presentation. By following these steps, you can easily turn off the Ken Burns effect in iMovie mobile and have full control over the appearance of your clips.

I personally find this feature useful when I want to focus on the content of the clip without any distracting movements. For example, when creating a simple slideshow with a series of still photos, disabling Ken Burns helps maintain a consistent visual style throughout the project.

Turning off the Ken Burns effect in iMovie mobile is a straightforward process. Just tap on the clip in the timeline, go to the Viewer, and select “Ken Burns Disabled” to disable the effect. Experiment with different settings to find the presentation style that best suits your project.
