I love the new "Ken Burns Effect" in iMovie 3, I was wondering if Final Cut Express can do something like this? I want to go PRO with final cut after I master iMovie.

well, FCP can do ken burns stuff really well, and not appear like the camera is shakin...

I haven't played with FCE any; I have FCP myself.

Certainly, Final Cut in all its incarnations can import pictures. This is a lot like setting the Ken Burns Effect to have no zoom or pan. However, FCE is not likely to have a specific "Ken Burns Effect", per se; you will have to recreate the effect you want manually. This is not hard, but you'll have to do it yourself.

By the way, I wonder how Ken Burns feels about his name being used like this...

Jobs said that Apple showed Mr. Burns the effect and that he liked it. So, I guess he doesn't mind it that much..
