Add scanned pages to my iMovie project. No matter what I do the images are crummy! Ideas?

I use iMovies for presentations. When adding picutes or slides. What is the correct size of the "frame' in iMovies. Sometimes the images need to be "scaled".
Is there a easier way to get them to fit?
I also would like to add text pages (printed forms). Any scan or file type becomes very poor quality??! Tiffs, PDFs, high res scans all look pixelated or blurry??

Click on the project, but don't enter it. Then go into file or edit (can't remember) and find:
Move Project to Trash.
I don't have that version of iMovie so if that doesn't work, sorry.

  • I can't get imovie to open after trying to shift the image to my TV by clicking fn F3.  If I hold the mouse on the imovie icon for a few seconds the imovie window opens but if I click anywhere on the window it disappears

    I can't get imovie to open after trying to shift the image from my macbook pro to the tv screen like I have done many times before.  If I double click on the imovie icon, imovie doesn't open, but the strip across the top shows iMovie, file, edit , clip, view, text share window help tabs across the top.  The iMovie window will appear if I click on the iMovie icon on the dock for a few seconds, or if I do control F3 at the same time, but when I click on the window it disappears.  When I hover the mouse over the iMovie window that appears the window has a blue border around it.  when I move the mouse outside the iMovie window the blue border goes away.  If I sweep 4 fingers from the top of the screen down, the screen dims a little but the iMovie window doesn't appear. If I click play under the view tab I can hear audio, but still no iMovie window.  It's as if the window is being blocked by the desk top somehow.

    The update to iOS 7 is frozen at the Terms and Conditions page and will not move, no matter what I click on.  I cannot access my iPad as it is frozen on this screen.  How do I remedy this nightmare?

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Then try updating the software again.

  • I print 2 pages to pdf and file size is 600k, I print 1 additonal page and file size goes to 6M, what would cause this (graphics are same on all pages)

    I print 2 pages to pdf and file size is 600k, I print 1 additonal page and file size goes to 6M, what would cause this (graphics are same on all pages).
    I know the colour graphic shading in the document that causes the issue of larger file size, but it doesn't make sense that printing 1 additional page with same information as first 2 pages would cause this.

  • When I convert a Pages document to pdf black stripes appear on two of the images, how do I get rid of them?

    I've made a catalogue in Pages, but when I convert it to pdf two black horizontal dotted stripes appear on two of the images.
    The images are two rectangular figures I've put in filled with solid blue color. They're not there in the Pages, only when converting to pdf.
    How do I get rid of the stripes? I need to use the catalogue in pdf format to send out, but the stripes are very visible whatever I do.

    The solid blue figures are they just rectangular shapes with the color specified in the Color Picker?
    Or did you fill them with an image?

  • Firefox 4 is stuck in classic mode. I went to the Add-on's and tried to change it, its the same no matter what I do, the only thing that changes is the tabs. Help.

    I downloaded Firefox 4 because it looked great at school, it doesn't look the same I believe its stuck in classic mode. I went to the Add-on's and tried to change it, its the same no matter what I do, the only thing that changes is the tabs. Help.

    To get the new interface you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry. If you had applied customizations to the menu bar whilst using Firefox 3.6, the new version would by default use the old interface.
    If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.

  • Importing clips from iMovie project (they keep ending up in the trash)

    I have never tried to import other clips from another iMovie project before and I just tried it yesterday. This is what I did:
    -I went into the other project and clicked on each individual clip from that project that I wanted (one at a time).
    -I copied that clip and then saved it to the desktop
    -From there I copied those clips to my external drive (which holds the new project that I am working on
    -I then opened up the new project in iMovie
    -I went to File<Import
    -I selected the clips that I had copied over to the external drive
    -I imported them
    -They all showed up fine, they played fine and I was able to edit them and put them into the time line as well
    The problem I face though is after I save the project and exit, the next time I open the project, each of those clips are missing and have been placed in the trash
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks ahead of time for your help!

    It sounds like something may be preventing iMovie from properly saving the project on the external drive. The drive format may be wrong, or third-party software might be causing conflicts. More here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1852869#1852869
    Another possibility is that you are opening the wrong project file saved inside the iMovie 5 project. If your project was originally an iMovie 4 project converted to iMovie 5 that's an easy mistake to make. More here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=1971832
    Note that the copy/export/import routine you used can be simplified enormously. iMovie 5 lets us Copy and Paste clips much more simply. To copy clips from Project A to Project B, open Project A, select all the clips you want copied to Project B, choose Edit > Copy, open Project B, move the playhead where you want to place the clips, and Paste. iMovie will import all the files that support those clips from Project A to Project B. Note that it imports the entire file for the clip, not just the clip itself. That's so the clip inherits all the non-destructive editing features it had in Project A.
    To avoid Project B becoming unnecessarily large, it's important to Copy and Paste all the clips you want together. If you copy two clips at the same time that share the same file iMovie imports their source file just one time. But if you Copy and Paste two clips that share the same source file separately, iMovie imports the same file twice.

  • Sharing iMove Projects Libraries with different users on the same machine

    I was wonder how two different users on the same machine can
    share project libraries. Some Context:
    My daughter has some finished projects in her project library and
    I either want to import those project into my library or share them
    so both user accounts can access the projects (similar to how the
    event library is accessible)
    Note: I've already moving the project library to a shared disk (the one
    the event library is on) with no luck
    Using iMove 09

    You need to move each project to the external drive from within iMovie. Be sure to use command-drag so you move, not copy.

  • All of my iMovie projects disappeared after loading Mavericks.  The updated version of iMovie shows no files and cannot find any files to Import.  My machine, a beefed up Mac Mini, has slowed to a crawl.  Suggestions?

  • I have an iMac running system 10.10.3.  I would like to use an external hard drive to save all my iMovie projects.  How do I transfer the files and tell iMovie where to find them?

    How can I move all my iMovie projects to an external hard drive and save all future projects to that same drive without constantly getting the 'can't find files' statement?  I am using iMovie 10.0.7,

    Have a look at the help files on this at:  http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0.8/#/mov3fa25bae7
    You can have multiple libraries if you want and save them anywhere.

    Were you working with iMovie 9 or 10 when you had the crash?
    It sounds like you were in iMovie 10 trying to update your iMovie 9 projects into iMovie 10.
    If you were working in iMovie 10, see if you can still see everything with iMovie 9.0.9 (the 2 versions have completely different media file structures).
    If you were in iMovie 9 it sounds as if the .rcproject package may have got corrupted.  You can look inside the package in Finder with the "show package contants" contextual menu but I would not know how to repair it manually. 
    Do you have a backup or are you running time machine?  With a backup you should be able to replace the offending package with a working version.

  • Is it safe to delete an iMovie project or will it also delete the movie in the Theater?

    Is it safe to delete an iMovie project to save memory  or will it also delete the movie in the iTheater?

    Thank you very much....I am new to Apple from a pc, so I am really a novice!! 
    Just to clarify, the movie will stay in the file and in the theater even though it is too big for iCloud?

  • Everytime I try to burn an iMovie project to a DVD with iDVD, the disc is ejected during the Burning and Multiplexing phase before it's completed.

    For months I have been unable to burn any iMovie project to a DVD using iDVD.  During the Burning and Multiplexing phase the disc is ejected before it's complete.  I went the Genius Bar and after many tests I was told that my disc drive was pretty much dead.  The person that helped recommended that I buy an external DVD burner from amazon.  I bought the new drive and I can now burn files, but I'm still encountering the same issue burning a movie.  Does anyone have any idea what'g going on?  I'm extremely frustrated at this point!

    Read this treatise on Multiplexing by  Bengt Wärleby: HT1645 I was burning a DVD and the...: Apple Support Communities.
    Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • How to backup an iMovie project that is too large for the dvd?

    This may be obvious, and it was probably answered elsewhere, but I'm trying to clean off my hard drive by saving my iMovie projects to two sets of dvds (one for home and one set for safekeeping at work). When saving one project as an archive, it just says this project is too large for a disc. Is it possible to stuff it as a .sitx file and then save that onto dvd? Is there a better solution than an external hard drive (which I've had a couple of fail on me).

    DVD's can only hold about 4.7 GB's of DV Stream format (the format used by iMovie).
    DV Stream is 13 GB's per hour of recording so it would take 3 DVD's to "store" your data for a one hour capture.
    "Export" (back to tape) or use iDVD to "burn" an MPEG-2 version of your file.
    Only the "tape" version would not require some type of conversion on import.
