Removing a Video Effect
You can remove an effect you have added to a movie until you save the movie project or until
you empty the iMovie Trash.
1. Select the clip with the effect you want to remove.
2. Choose Advanced > Restore Clip.
Adding an Effect to a Portion of a Video Clip
An effect can also be added to only a portion of a video clip.
1. Select a clip or a series of clips (Shift-click) to which you want to add an effect.
2. Drag the crop markers below the scrubber bar and select the frames to which you
want to apply the effect. The selected frame range will appear yellow in the
scrubber bar.
3. Add video effects as you normally would to a clip, as described above. Once you
click on the Apply button, the clip is split and rendered in the Clip Viewer. Select
the clips in the Clip Viewer and play them to see the finished effect.
Adding Photos to Your Movie
iMovie lets you easily add photos from your iPhoto library to your movie. Photos can be added
as still shots that stay on the screen for as long as you wish or you can have iMovie pan across
the photo or zoom in or out of the photo using what Apple calls the “Ken Burns Effect.”
Please see Figure 17: Photos Pane
A - Ken Burns Effect: Use these controls to set up pan and zoom effects for your
photographs. Turn the effect off or on by selecting or deselecting the Ken Burns Effect
checkbox. Click Start and Finish to set which part of the photo is showing at the beginning
and end of the effect. Use the Zoom slider to set the zoom.
B - Reverse: Click to reverse the direction of the pan and zoom effect.
C - Preview: Click to see how the effect looks in the preview monitor.
D - Apply: When you have the effect the way you want, click this button to apply the effect to
the photograph. This creates a new clip in the Clips pane that you can add to your movie.

view and select photographs. You can drag a photograph from the Photos pane to the clip
