Ken burns and time line problem

Hi all

two problem to solve

1) ken burns on imovie 10.0.8

I'm not able to find the ken burns effect on Imovie. I follow this indication http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0.8/#/movc6e02f503 but when I choose cut there's not any stile to choose. (mac book pro late 2012 - OsX yosemite 10.10.3). Where I can find it?

2) Time line: when I scroll my clip and I place a mark I'm not able to understand which is the time of the mark (how many seconds from the start to the clip?)

Ty and sorry for my english

iMovie 10, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

The Apple Help document is accurate and straightforward.

Perhaps you prefer following a video tutorial instead? Ken Burns Effect

Eryn75,

I am having the same issue. Gary Scotland said, "The Apple Help document is accurate and straightforward." Yes it is, however, it doesn't solve the problem.

Here is a 14 second video that illustrates the problem. https://vimeo.com/131735512

As you can see, I did exactly what the Apple Help document told me to do, but there is no Ken Burns Effect available. I tried this with a still image as well as with a video clip - and neither one has the Ken Burns Effect as an option.

Does anyone know why?

The reason is that you are trying to apply the Ken Burns effect on a clip in the event pane. The Ken Burns option only appears when you select a clip in a project timeline (I've just verified this on my machine).

You have to put the clip into a project, then you can apply the Ken Burns effect.

Geoff.
