Not that I know of.
You can also build slide shows in iPhoto. It may be easier (faster) to mix thing up in that app than it is in iMovie.

  • How can I make a still photo from imovie

    How can I make a still photo from imovie?

    Let's assume you have iMovie 11 (Version 9). (If you have a different version, let me know. The instructions will be different.)
    First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
    Open MPEG Streamclip.
    In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
    Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
    In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
    In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
    Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
    You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
    I have created a short video Tutorial on how to do this. There is one error in the Tutorial, where it says that Command-click is the same as right-click. I should have said Control-click instead.

  • How to add music to a photo in iMovie?

    How can i add music to photos in iMovie?

    First, create a Project. Find your photos in the Photo Browser. Drag them into the project.
    Find the music you want to use in the Music Browser. Drag it into the project and drop it on the photo at the point where you want the music to start. Alternatively, you can drop the music in the background of the project.

  • How can I mix up the photos in a file?

    I am doing a slide show for my child's teacher.  I am using about 400 photos from 6 different events. How can I mix up the photos so the slide show is in a random order rather than chronological? 

    So, you're exporting photos from Lightroom, then rolling them into a slideshow using a different program, and that program does not support randomization - did I get that right?
    If so, then indeed: it's as Paige said: no way to export in random order without a plugin or script or something.
    Here's one possibility: put them in a collection, then shuffle the collection using the "Shuffle Photos In Collection" script available here:
    http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/MiscLrPlugins/#MiscScripts
    (they're free scripts I wrote - kinda like plugins, but simpler..).
    Then export all photos in the collection with a sequence number prefix so they're in proper order (alphabetically) on disk - then your slideshow program will have them in random order - makes sense? (try it before answering ).

  • When creating a book how can I get all the photos from an album to show up in the order they were in the album?

    When creating a book in iphoto, how can I get all the photos from the album I want to use to show up in the order that they are in the album?  When I tried to use the option to add my own photos instead of having the program "flow" them, they showed up all mixed up.

    iPhoto puts them in the book in chronological order.  So to get your photos from an album into an iPhoto book in the same order you will need to use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option and set them all to the same date with a 1 minute time difference between each.

  • How can I start anew with Photos and clear the (minimal) stuff it has uploaded

    I've about had it up to here with this new Photos scheme. I reorganised my Aperture libraries on both my iMac and MBA in preparation for this, delayed turning Photos on for a couple of days until I thought everything was ready based upon the limited advice that was out there, and then got stuck in an endless loop of "uploading" and "preparing" every time I opened Photos. There are 19,975 images in my Aperture library on the iMac. I was stuck at Uploading at anywhere between that number and 19,000 with no progress after hours of waiting. I tried all the tricks mentioned here including re booting, restarting the app, repairing/rebuilding the database, killing the "cloudd" process, etc.today Today when I restarted Photos, it now said I had 23,775 images to upload- 4000
    more than I have-and of course it got stuck there, like it has for the last week.
    I copied the previous Aperture library (pre Photos migration)back to my iMac and opened it in Aperture. Thankfully, all the photos I had taken on my iPhone this week during this Photos clusterphuck transition were in the Aperture Stream so I didn't lose any of those. I'm willing to give this whole thing one more shot. So  i need some advice. How can I start anew with Photos and clear the (minimal) stuff it has uploaded (about 6000 of 19,000 images in the last 7 days) ? If I simply delete the Photos.photolibrary file will that do the trick and lt me start a new fresh library using?

    It is hard to say from your post, why the migration did not succeed in your case.
    by "stuck on upload" do you mean, you opened the Aperture library in Photos, and Photos converted it to a Photo Library, and then the upload to iCloud Photo Library did hang?  Or did already the upgrade to the Photo Library fail?
    If you want the Aperture library to upload to iCloud Photo Library, it needs to be on a disk formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled) and the original image files must not be referenced. Referenced originals will not upload.
    Also, the upload may hang, if you do not have enough free iCloud storage, orr if one of the videos or photos in your library is in an unsupported format or corrupted.
    To start over, try to repair and rebuild the Aperture library before opening it in Photos. Try all Aperture Library First Aid options - starting with repairing the permissions.  (Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual)
    If I simply delete the Photos.photolibrary file will that do the trick and lt me start a new fresh library using?
    You will have to delete the photos that are already in icloud too; otherwise you are risking duplicates.
    Can you launch Photos at all?  If yes, delete all photos in Photos and empty the Recently Deleted album. Wait for the deletion to sync to iCloud. Then delete the Photos.photolibrary.

  • HT4889 How can I transfer my iPhoto photos and iTunes library to my new iMac?

    How can I transfer my iPhoto photos and iTunes library to my new iMac?

    If the Migration Assistant won't do it, move them over as you would any other folder; they're located in the Pictures and Music folders of your home folder by default. The iPhoto library needs to be transferred via a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended or through an AFP network share.

    You should call Apple Support and give them your Apple ID so that they can verify how many photos you actually do have backed up in iCloud...
    Also, are you able to do an iTunes backup at all? Because that would save all of the photos and allow you to get them onto the new device.
    Apple Support number is
    1-800-694-7466

    I have forgotten my password and have not backed my iphone up how can i get to my photos.

    If you have synced your phone with a computer connect to that computer and you can back it up without the passcode. If you have not synced to a computer there is no way to recover data without the passcode.

  • How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere without it changing into a jpg?

    How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere (PSE, or desktop) without it changing into a jpg???

    See if any of this info will help:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.  3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full size
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window".  That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu).  This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • How do i view photos in macbook pro, and while viewing how can i delete the unwanted photos with delete button?

    1 My questions are about viewing and managing photos from a folder.
    a. How do i view photos in macbook pro - i know the space bar thingy but does not help my purpose?
    b. While viewing how can i delete the unwanted photos with delete button?
    c. How can i increase the size of the photos that i am seeing in the form of icons?

    double clicking in iPhoto will open the photo.
    The left and right arrow key will move between photos, as well as swiping on a trackpad or Apple mouse.
    See >System Preference>Trackpad or mouse  for options and tut
    While selected or in the smaller icon view hitting the Delete key will delete the pic.
    Command Z will undo the last action taken.
    Periodically you have to empty the iPhoto trash.  iPhoto drop down menu>empty trash
    Same applies for viewing pics in a Folder NOT in iphoto,  Use the up and down arrows does not work in Preview, but as you know in QuickLook (spacebar) the up and down arrows will navigate.

  • HT1296 How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro

    How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro
    I am facing problem while I connect to my iPad mini with MacBook Pro , it only sync photo from its taken by and from it camera roll only. It doesn't sync all the images... Like my all albums. All photos in library....

    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
    You should also be able to copy albums that you've created directly on the iPad via apps such as Simple Transfer (though I haven't tried it)

  • How can i remove my old photos

    how can i delete my old photos..

    Photos in your camera roll or photos you've synced from a computer?
    In your camera roll, tap on the pic and hit the trash icon.
    Photos that were synced from your computer, you would need to unsync them.
