How to Make a Still Picture Movie in iMovie

By utilizing the "Ken Burns Effect" you can make a still picture movie that is far more visually pleasing than a boring old Powerpoint presentation. By narrating the movie yourself you can make a beautiful and effective documentary or presentation to use in class.

Instructions

1. Gather all of the pictures that you want to include in one folder. They can be several different picture formats including bitmap, GIF and JPEGs.

2. Import the pictures into iMovie all at once to save time. Have the Ken Burns Effect turned off at this point and set the timing to 5 or 6 seconds.

3. If there are pictures that you want that you cannot take yourself you can simply grab them from google images.

4. Place the Ken Burns Effect on each photo. Try not to zoom in on every picture; zoom out on some and pan across others.

5. Add your narration to the movie and then adjust the timing of the photos.

6. Add transitions and soft music to the film.
