imovie help w/ photo transitions

I'm working on my first imovie slide-show. The problem I'm having is when I insert a transition between photos that have the "ken burns" effect, it loads then kinda pulses once the photo loads after a transition.

its kinda hard to describe w/o seeing it, but if you've come across this, is there a global setting to fix this? I have about 70 images w/ a transition between them and each does a very quick pulse that is annoying and doesn't make a good movie.

thanks.

are you seeing this "pulse" in the final exported product, or just in the playback? I'm a little confused though, why don't you just use iPhoto to make the slideshow.

Yeah, I was thinking that, just create the slideshow and send it to iDVD from the Share menu. I think you can only add the one global Transition, though.

I also tried to recreate your iMovie prob, imported photos (with Ken Burns effects) and added transitions, but there were no pulses or anything, it all played back smoothly.

I added the photos first in imovie, then added the transitions (each a different one) then went back and reset the display-time of the image between transitions. (After playback, I noticed they were too long and wanted to shorten them).

I think the change of the display time is what caused this "pulse" from when the origional transition was added.

Hope this helps. I'm new to iMovie and thought I could make some global changes w/o affecting certain things (or hoping they would adjust with the new settings.... guess not).
