This one minute video will show you how to remove Ken Burns.
When you export set the quality to High (or Low or Medium if you want smaller file sizes).
Never use Best (ProRes) . . . that is for specialised use that most people do not need.
Hi,
For future projects go to iMovie /Preferences and in the preferences box that appears set the iMovie Photo Placement preferences to Fit rather than Ken Burns. That will eliminate the Kens Burns effect in all projects subsequently created.

Regarding the QuicktTimePlayer incompatibility issue, try re-encoding the exported video. To do that, Control-click on the video on your desktop and, in the pop-up menu that appears, select Encode Selected Videos. Select from the screen options that then appear. After the re-encoding is done a video will appear on your desktop that is in addition to the original video. The original video will remain unaltered. Now see if the re-encoded video will play in QuickTimePlayer.
