Is there a way to stop photos from moving in iMovie?

Whenever I import a photo into my iMovie it does that really annoying this where it sort of "slideshows" and gradually zooms in. Is there a way to turn this off? I'd really just like to have an image sit still for five seconds. Thanks

mac pro, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

Yes. Click on the crop tool and instead of Ken Burns Effect, select Fit or Crop.

You may need to go into iMovie Preferences and turn on Advanced Editing Tools before you see the crop tool. I can't remember if it is a default tool or an advanced tool. It will be on the toolbar in the middle of the screen between the Project pane and the Event pane.
