"Hey everybody my name is Matt and I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. You can also import pictures into iMovie and do this the same way we did with our audio and video before. You can either go up to file and import and navigate to where your pictures at or drag and drop. I'm going to open up a folder here and just drag and drop a photo into my clips over here and it's going to automatically going to import your pictures and I'm going click to and drag it down here to the time line. Imovie does a cool thing with your photos it adds what is calls the "Ken Burns Affect" which most people probably Ken Burns and he was a doctormentarian and when I click play you will see it adds the Ken Burns affect it zooms out of my picture you can also zoom in. What you can do is if you go over to media and select photos up here on the top right, select the clip of your picture and if you select show photo settings it is going to bring up some settings for you and you have a start and end tab here. If you select start you can the link of your clip down here and you can also select where you want it to start and if you switch over to end you can select where you want it to end. Also, hit reverse and it will reverse the effect and if you just want a stationary photo you can just uncheck the Ken Burns affect and hit update. It will give you a stationary picture there. So, that's another cool thing you can do with Imovie and your photo's."
