But once you've intentionally imported photos OFF-center — done by dragging the Preview image — the default is no longer applied to future imports. (iMovie always imports using the Ken Burns settings last applied, or the settings of the clip last selected.) It's not obvious how to return iMovie to the center.
Here's how:
1. Select a photo in the iPhotos list. Open the Show Photo Settings window.
2. Turn ON the Ken Burns checkbox. Stop the Preview animation.
3. Click on the left side of the Start/End thingy. (To activate the Start position.)
4. Drag the zoom slider all the way right, then all the way left. That centers the photo for the Start position.
5. Click on the right side of the Start/End thingy and repeat the zoom drag.
Now both the Start and End positions should be centered.
If I missed the point of your question, please say.
