Ken Burns effect in slideshow

There are two ways to turn of the Ken Burns effect.

The first way is to open an iMovie project and go to iMovie/Preferences, and in the preferences box that appears select "Fit" in the Photo Placement box. By default, that will turn off the Ken Burns effect for all videos and photos that are placed in projects created after you made the preferences change. Existing projects will not be affected.

The second way applies to where the clips in your project already have the Ken Burns effect applied, and you want to turn it off. To turn it off, select the clip and click on the crop tool (the one that looks like intersecting angles) in the tool bar at the upper right of your screen. A selection box will appear with the choices "Fit", "Crop to Fill", and "Ken Burns". Select "Fit" and that will remove the Ken Burns effect from the clip.

You can select multiple clips in a range and change them to "Fit" as a batch. So, don't need to do them one at a time.
