iMovie help needed re zoom in and out and move up and down

I'm putting together a video with pictures. Some of the pictures zoom in and out (what I want) and others start at the bottom and move up and then down. How do I make it so they all zoom in and out?

Thanks.

iPad Pro, iOS 12

Go to iMovie/Preferences and set your Photo Placement to Ken Burns. Then

create a new project and import your still images into it. They should

alternately zoom in and out. Another way is to select a range of stills in the

timeline and click on the crop button and then set for Ken Burns. Click on the

blue arrow on the right to apply the changes. I believe that that will set the

in and out zoom for all of them. Then, again, you can manually set the zoom for

each individual shot by selecting it and clicking on the crop button, and then

making the zoom adjustment by arranging the adjustment rectangles in the

preview screen.


I don't know your specific situation but, generally, doing a range of

pictures zooming in and out can be a bit tedious and boring. I usually mix it

up with zooms from different angles, different durations, and an occasional

still shot. That's your call, of course.
