Crop Photos Using Ken Burns Effect

Jeff Carlson's avatar Jeff Carlson on June 5, 2003

You can use the Ken Burns Effect to crop photos:

At the Start stage, specify a zoom amount. Then Option-click the Finish button to set the same zoom value. When you click the Apply button, the photo is added to the Timeline as a regular still photo, not a Ken Burns clip. You can also Option-click the Start button to apply the values of the Finish state.
