How to see whole photo in iMovie not a moving cropped version.

Hi,

To remove the Ken Burns movement for individual photos, click on the photo to select it, then click on the little crop icon (the one that looks like intersecting angles) in the tool bar at the top right of your screen. Select "Fit" as the crop selection option. Then click on the blue reset button to the right in order to set your change.

For future projects, before adding any clips or photos, you can change the general default to remove the Ken Burns motion for all photos later added to a newly created project. In the main iMovie menu, click on iMovie > Preferences and, in the preferences box that appears, in the Photo Placement box, click on "Fit" as the photo placement option.

But note that usually the format for a still photo does not match the format of the movie. So you will either get bars on the edges or crop some part of the image.
