Adding photos to video in new iMovie?

How can I add a photo into my video over a part that I am talking in in the new iMovie? For example, in the old iMovie we could "picture in picture" a photo or overlap a photo. How can we do that in the new iMovie?

Simply click on the plus sign under Albums and create a new album with a new name.
Select the photos for the album and drag them into the album.

Does anyone know of a good online video instruction on how to put together a photo slideshow in the new iMovie version. I found uTube videos using imported videos, but I want to use photos in iPhoto.

Does anyone know of a good online video instruction on how to put together a photo slideshow in the new iMovie 11 version. I found uTube videos using imported videos, but I want to use photos in iPhoto. I'm very familiar with how to do this in the pervious version, but it's no so intuitive in the new version.

Has anyone tried this one.. I am not sure if I am allowed to post information about other products... so if I am not please delete this part of my message.

Audio goes out-of-sync after adding photos to video

iMovie HD 5.0.2 here. I have one main 10-minute video clip and am trying to splice the video to include a few photos, which maintaining that video's audio track throughout.
After importing the video, I extracted the audio. But when I dropped in a photo, any video AFTER that photo is now out-of-sync with the audio track. (I'm not really fiddling with the visual timeline; I just split the video clip at playhead, insert photo, and any video after the photo winds up out of sync.)
Is this a problem with the dated software? Is there a workaround? If I should upgrade, what should I upgrade to? I really love the simple video and audio timeline of iMovie HD; it's perfect for my needs and I don't want to lose it...

OK
I'm a soft head. Now I understands what You want to do.
OK there is a smart way to exchange video for a photo but keeping the audio. BUT
I use a much more raw way of doing this.
I import my photo. Set a duration for it eg. 4 sec => 00:00:04:00 exactly
then I select the video clip
Extract sound - so that I don't affect this when doing the brain surgery
Cut in the video part away exactly 00:00:04:00
Select the photo clip - drop this before the un-needed video clip
Select the un-needed video clip and delete this.
Now I've replaced a pice of the video with a photo but the sound flows as it
was un-tuched.
I always work this way - think it has to do with super-8 film editings during
the stone-ages.
There is a function in iMovie that does this - replace action but I've never used it.

Music splits when adding photo and video clip

Every time I add a new photo or video clip it makes the music split, so there is a gap in music from the beginning of the clip to the end. I can pull the music back, but that is getting aggravating. Is it the setting I have it on?

There's a grey horizontal line near the middle of each track. When you drag a new item from the browser into the timeline, it appears with a black arrow. As you drag, when the cursor is above the grey horizontal line, the black arrow points right, meaning you're performing an "insert" edit, which moves everything else to the right in the timeline. If the cursor is below the grey line, the black arrow points down, meaning you're performing an "overwrite" edit, which should leave your audio tracks in place.

Creating and saving a photo from video clip in iMovie '11

Hello,
My dad took what he thought were photos from his iPhone. Turned out to be a bunch of one second video clips as he accidentally had it on the video camera mode. Trying to create a still photo image from these clips. What's the best way to do this? Is iMovie able to do this? If so, some guidance would be greatly appreciated.
I did try searching with no luck.
Thanks for your help,
AJ

You can import the clips from your iPhone into iMovie 11.
There are two approaches. Let's call them the shotgun approach and the rifle approach.
Shotgun approach:
Drag the 1 second video clips into an iMovie Project. Then SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME.
Choose Still image sequence. This will give you 30 jpegs per second for all the clips. In other words, it will give you every single frame, converted to a still.
Rifle Approach:
Download a free app to your Mac called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5.
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iPhoto, right click on one of the Video clips, and select "Show in Finder".
Drag these clips from the Finder into MPEG Streamclip. You should be able to hit the Play button and see them all.
Move the playhead in MPEG Streamclip to the exact frame that you want. Then click FILE/Export Frame. You can choose whether you want JPEG, TIFF, or PNG. And choose a location. Move the playhead to the next frame you want and repeat.

Adding photos over video? Audio sync issues. :o(

I just started using iMovie HD today. So far so good- but I have run into an issue where I want to add photos over my interview subject (video and audio). I have separated the audio from the video so I can split the movie clip and add the photo... but iMovie isn't removing the extra movie footage so when the photo fades the movie audio doesn't sync with the persons lips. This must be a common issue. How do I fix this so when the photo fades the video underneath is synced with the audio (spoken word). Thanks for any help!!!

Hi mistahtea - it sounds as though you are going about it in the wrong way.
Firstly make sure that in iMovie Preferences you have ticked 'Extract Audio when Pasting Over at Playhead'.
Then:
1. Copy the pic you want to superimpose.
2. Position the Playhead where you want the pic to insert.
3. Go Advanced>Paste Over at Playhead.
That should do the trick!

Im adding photos from iPhoto to an iMovie project.

I want them to be the same length for each photo. I follow the directions in the settings button, yet each seem to have an individual time.

How to stop duplications in iMovie so you can add and see new added photos

How can i stop duplications and where can I find a way to stop and add more photos onto an iMovie project?
I like the app but that doesn't help me being creative if I can't add more photos and only duplicates the last photos that was added before. How can I avoid duplication and see my new added photos in my created iMovie project????

You'll know if QT pro is not installed because the majority of menus will have 'get pro' annoyingly stamped on to them. QT pro predominantly releases the ability to export.
For what you need you would probably be better off taking your movies in to iTunes, under the playback prefs choose 'playback video in artwork viewer'. You can then drag the screen to increase the size of the artwork viewer.
Cheers

How do I create a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

How do I creat a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX. It's kinda hidden in the "share." Go File/Share/Add Destination. You want "Save Current Frame." After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

IMovie - I have video interview and added photos. I want to add sound to the photos. They are at the end of the video. I added one free music sound over the start of the photo section. How do I continue to add music to the following photos?

iMovie 11 Version 9.0.8
My iMovie starts with an taped interview then I added photos.When I added sound it went over the video, so I moved it down over the photos. I want to add more sound (music) over the remaining photos. How do I insert background music at a specific area?

I want to break up my hour long video in iMovie 11 into smaller 15 minute segements to upload to youtube. How can i put EDITED VIDEO in new projects in iMovie?

I want to break up my hour long video in iMovie 11 into smaller 15 minute segements to upload to youtube. How can i put EDITED VIDEO in new projects in iMovie? (each 15 minute segment to iMovie)

In iMovie's Project Library view (where all your projects are listed), click on the name of your project (don't double-click to open it, just single click to highlight it).
From the Menu select File > Duplicate Project. A copy of your project will be placed in the Project Library. It will have the same name as the original, but with a number appended. You can rename it if desired - click on its name twice (not double-click) so that it is highlighted as light blue, then over-type it.
Delete from the duplicate all the clips and other media (for example, photos, music and so forth) that you don't want included in the first of your 15 minute segments. In other words, delete all but the first 15 minutes.
Continue creating duplicates of the original (and rename if necessary). Delete from each duplicate all the unrequired parts for each segment. So, for example, for the 2nd duplicate delete the first quarter (15 minutes) and the 3rd and 4th quarters.
You should end up with 4 duplicates with separate names, each containing the required segment. You will also have kept intact the original one hour movie, which you may wish to use independently of YouTube (maybe for burning a DVD or playback through a Media Player).
Note that duplicating the original project will not take up much extra space on your drive. Projects reference (link to) the associated Event (or Events) in the Event Library - they don't actually contain video as such. The project file also keeps track of titles, transitions, effects, music and so forth that you've added to the project.

How can I record my voice on iMovie without needing to place a photo or video in?

I'm trying to make an anime review. But before placing photos in it, I wanted to record my voice first before adding pictures in it. So I was wondering what do I do to actually get my voice in it without it being cut because there were no photos or videos placed in? (I use a macbook)

You could insert a bunch of placeholders in the timeline before doing the voiceover.
You can find a range of placeholders (they are actually templates used in iMovie Trailers) in the Maps, Backgrounds & Animatics browser. This is the last browser at the end of the centre toolbar, after the Titles and Transitions browsers. Click on it and scroll down to see all the animatics (aka placholders or templates). Drag a number of these into your project timeline - as many as you think you need to cover your audio.
When you've finished the voiceover, drag photos directly onto the animatics and select Replace from the pop-up menu. Adjust the timing by using the Inspector (double-click a photo to open the Inspector, then change the duration).

HT201317 don't see all of my picture, see in usage 6000 photos and videos but in photo see recently added

don't see all of my picture, see in usage 6000 photos and videos but in photo see recently added 576 and 1486 videos
what am i doing!?

HEY--
You're not alone. The same thing is happening to me. This is what happened: First, my computer had too many photos on iPhoto, and I couldn't download anymore, (I have a G5 and lots of memory too but it didn't matter since I have tons of pictures)and my computer would say my start-up disk was full. I tried to delete some images to no avail. So I decided to buy another hard drive. I wanted to use that one for my photo library rather than the first hard drive, so I had enough room to work with.
I still couldn't download photos to it, since iPhoto was still on my first hard drive. So, I tried moving iPhoto to my second hard drive by dragging it and placing it there. It asked where my library was, so I directed it to the location I thought it was in my Pictures folder.
This is when things started getting mixed up. It no longer was backing up my iPhoto library to my Pictures folder. Whenever it would ask me to update my thumbnail cache, it started substituing dashed lines instead of my photos in its place. Little by little, this was happening. I could still download new photos into my iPhoto Library, but some photos from the past were getting corrupted and I couldn't salvage them or see them in any way, other than the dashed lines.
Recently, I have had two weddings to edit, and I cannot see the photos for the reception of one of them after I updated the thumbnail cache again. I thought it would bring my photos back, but rahter it made them so I can't see them!
I have read the other posts about this same issue, and I am about to just take my computer into MacDocs, but rather I'd like assistance here if possible since I need this taken care of, and I pay $100 every year for MacPro, and noone was available there to help me!!!
Please... any help would be appreciated. I too nervous to move anything else, and I would like some REAL help to this issue.
Thank you in advance!
