Attaching a photo to an iMovie theme

I am creating an iMovie project where I advertise a new fitness product. I am using the Comic Book theme to make my project come alive. On the first slide, where you write your name and attach a picture, I have a specific picture on my desktop that I want to use in the box. How would I bring the photo to the slide and put it in the area made for it? Please respond as soon as possible, thank you!!!

The quick and dirty way would be to simply drag the photo from the desktop and drop it in your iMovie Project at the comic book title (or transition) in your project.
However, if you later decide to move the photo off your desktop to another location, iMovie will not know where to find it and your project will be broken.
So I suggest putting the photo into a place where you are not likely to change the location. I would import the photo into iPhoto, and then you can access the photo from the Photo Browser in iMovie and drag it into your project.

How do I include the photos in a imovie project to the finished dvd so the users can have access to them?

I've included alot of old photos in an iMovie project and would like to include them on the finished DVD I create with iDVD. I woud like the users to be able to have access to them so they can print them, store them on their own computer or whatever they would like to do. How would I do this?

You do this by creating a DVD-ROM section on your DVD. See this explanation from iDVD Help.
Adding files to the DVD-ROM portion of a disc
You can let viewers copy files directly from your DVD by adding the files to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc. These files are burned onto the DVD and are accessible when the disc is viewed on either a Windows PC or a Macintosh computer, but not a DVD player.
You can add any kind of file to the disc. For example, if your disc contains a slideshow, you can add the image files to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc so viewers can download them to their own computers and print them. You can also add a file containing your movie production notes and other “extras.”
To manually add files to the DVD-ROM part of your disc:
Choose Advanced > Edit DVD-ROM Contents.
The DVD-ROM Contents window opens.
Click Add Files, or click New Folder first if you want to create a folder to put the files in.
Browse to select your files or folders, then click Open to add them to the disc.
You can also drag files directly to the DVD-ROM Contents window. When you are done, just close the window.
When you add a file to the DVD-ROM portion of your disc, before you burn the disc the project contains just a reference to the location of the file on your hard disk, not the actual file. So if you delete a file from your computer or move it from its location after adding it to the DVD-ROM contents, you get a “File not found” message when you try to burn your disc. You can either remove these missing files from the DVD-ROM contents or find them on your computer and put them back in the original location so iDVD can access them.
As you add files to the DVD-ROM contents, be sure to check the DVD Capacity meter in the Project Info window to find out how many gigabytes of disc space are being used. The Capacity meter shows the disc space taken up by the video portion of the disc as well as the DVD-ROM portion.

How to attach a photo to a marker in imovie 10.06

I have imovie 10.06 and I've tried to locate a similar feature of snap to beat on my version and have had no luck. I've tried using makers and attach a photo to it, but the photo wont attach. There's something called snapping that I turned on but doesnt seem to do anything! My project is just a bunch of picture that I want to show up to the beat of the song, which is rather fast, so its hard to line it up.

Ctrl C to copy the image from wherever (finder, safari, preview, etc),
Ctrl V to paste the image in the text field.
you can open Finder, navigate to the file and drag it into the message window.
There was never a camera icon in the public Messages beta release.
advanced options:
you can also hit shift+control+command+4 and you will get cross hairs that you can drag across the screen to take a screen grab. this will copy to the clipboard and you can paste it into messages and send it. holding down shift, option, or space bar lets you adjust the area you are taking a screen shot of before you let go of the mouse click
shift+control+command+4 then hit space will let you take a picture of an application window, it'll save it to your clipboard and you can paste it into the text box of Messages.

How can I attach multiple photos to an e-mail

I would like to attach multiple photos which are already in the photos file on my ipad to e-mails I am sending from the ipad. Is there a place in the e-mail where you can attach photos. The only way I have found to do it is to send from inside the photos file but can only attach one per e-mail. Any suggestions?

You must email the photos from within the photos app.
You can select up to 5 photos to email at a time. While you are in thumbnail view in the photos app - tap the arrow icon in the uper right corner. Then tap on up to 5 photos in order to select them. Tap the Share button in the upper left corner and then select - email

How can I attach a photo as a separate file to an email? (I have tried several of the tricks suggested here and they don't work for me)

I cannot work out how to attach a photo as an attachment to an email. I have tried several times today using different methods (ie, changing the email to plain text, dragging the photo from Iphoto over the mail icon, emailing directly from Iphoto), but none of them work. Everything seems to just produce an email with an embedded photo. Any ideas?

Is this the first time your friend receives e-mail from a Mac user?
It is certainly the first time I have sent her emails from a Mac. Not sure if she has ever received messages from another Mac user before.
You've sent her e-mails with pictures before, but only now you're having a problem
Yes, that's correct.
Mail.app offers two settings you can try to manipulate: Edit > Attachments > Always send Windows-friendly attachments, and, Always insert attachments at end of message
I had already tried that and it didn't work.
e-mail client your friend is using
I will find out on Monday when she goes back to work, but I wanted to look at solving the problem firstly from my end.
very likely you're dealing with a problem others have dealt with
Yes, very likely - I searched the site before I posted my own question, and there were quite a number of posts on the same issue.
Again, thanks everyone for your help. Hopefully we can find a solution. I am not making you all grope in the dark just to annoy you!!! I'm just a new Mac user trying to work something out. I am sorry if it seemed otherwise.

When I want to attach a photo to my e-mail I can no longer find my iPhoto library using open - media - photos.

So starting recently (last couple of months) when I want to attach a photo to my e-mail I can no longer find my iPhoto library using open - media - photos. There's nothing there, it's just completely blank, when in the past my whole iPhoto library would show up with thumbnails and I could just choose the pic to attach. Now I have to drag the photos I want from iPhoto onto the desktop and then I can find them there to attach to my e-mail. How can I get my iPhoto library to show back up the simple way when I want to attach photos? I've been having this problem attaching photos in hotmail or yahoo.

It should be an attachment. Your Mac just displays a preview of certain attachments (such as .pdfs) in the body of the message. A PC, for example, will see it as an attached file rather than a preview.
You can save the attachment on your Mac by Control-clicking on it and selecting Save Attachment.

Is there a limit to the number of photos added to iMovie?

I am trying to add more photo stills to a project but iMovie will not add more than the 495 I have in there. I know it is an enormous amount of still photos but in they are short in duration and I'd like to add about 130 more to complete this project. Any photos past this mark are simply being rejected/not added by the program no matter how many times I try to drag them over even one at a time. Is there a limit? Can I overcome this some how?

I would recommend that you put the photos that you need in order in an iPhoto album.
326 should be no problem. I have done that many or more.
To drag them into iMovie, open the Photo Browser in iMovie and look for the album. There should be an icon for the album. Drag the icon for the album into your iMovie Project. (rather than dragging the photos one at a time).
Since you are having sluggish behavior, I would recommend that you shut down iMovie, restart your Mac, and start over with a new project, unless you have too much work invested, in which case, try the old project first.
Here is a sample of a project where I dragged about 300 photos into a project from an iPhoto album.

How do I attach a photo in my private message in Facebook using iPad2?

How do I attach a photo to my private messge in Facebook using iPad2? I tried to tap the clip but it didn't respond.

The actual Facebook app does not offer this facility. There are other facebook apps you can check out in the App Store, some of which I've read do offer this, but I don't post enough photo's to facebook to have personally checked any of them out myself.

Why does photo pane in imovie reset?

Just updated iphoto and imovie. When I started moving photos from the photo pane, I discovered everytime I delete a photo from the timeline that it would reset the photo pane to photo #1. Very irritating if you happen to be working with photo #1985. It this normal? What can I do to stop it?

Yes, that sounds normal. When you delete a clip in the timeline iMovie, iMovie selects the first clip in the photos pane. (Note that when a timeline image is selected, NO photo is selected in the photos pane, so iMovie has to select something.)
There is no relationship between a deleted timeline clip and any particular photo in the photos pane. So iMovie defaults to selecting the first available photo.
If the scrolling of the photos pane is a nuisance, consider importing your photos directly from iPhoto to iMovie. Drag them from the iPhoto window directly to the timeline. Then that will not effect iMovie's photo pane selection.
I find that method preferred anyway, in many respects. You can view many more photos in iPhoto, for example.

Creating photo slideshow in iMovie 09

Hi guys,
I have been given the advice to create a photo slideshow in iMovie.
So far I have manage to sort out my photos and import them using iPhone and the Finder but am now up to the stage of putting the photos in the slide show.
There are quite a number of photos and I think by using the Ken Burns effect on every slide is a little overwhelming.
Is there any way I can use any of the other effects like just a simple fade-in?

AppleMan1958 gives you some good information. I have reviewed an earlier version of the slideshow feature of iPhoto on my website and have a short sample slideshow created using iPhoto.
Here is the link to my free photo slideshow software review of iPhoto.

I also provide information on creating a slideshow, choosing the music, etc.
Good luck.

How do i attach a photo to an email without it appearing as a whole photo on the page

When I try to attach a photo from iPhoto to an email, the whole photo shows on the page and I cant seem to be able to attach it as an attachment.

Mail displays image attachments inline. The recipient may or may not see them that way, depending on the client program he or she uses.

Email attachments (photos)

I'm vacationing in Costa Rica and Windows email outgoing messages are blocked so I must go to this Verizon server to send emails. I'm not able to attach single photos. Everything seems fine..the arrow just spins for about two minutes and then I get the following message: " Please check your network settings and try again". Photo does not attach.
What can I do to fix this?
Also any suggestions on how to use Window's email to send?

Sorry to hear about the problems you are having with email attachment. If you are not on a Verizon connection, you can not use outlook with the standard POP settings. You must use the webmail. I have sent you a private message

Low sound levels in Photo Booth and Imovie

I am a new Mac user and I am trying to record a short video to email using the built-in Isight camera. I have tried to use Photo Booth and Imovie and both of them produce videos with very, very low sound levels. You can barely hear it even when turned up to the max. I have checked the Sound preferences, and it is set to the built-in microphone, about mid-level. I've tried cranking it up to the max and with and without Use ambient noise reduction checked. It has no effect. How do I get a decent sound level? It is unusable at this point. I've updated my Software and repaired permissions, and still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I checked my midi audio settings and they are at the suggested rate. I called up an Apple support tech, and after trying a few things he basically said the internal mics are junk and go buy an external one. In the mean time, I've cranked up the sound levels to max, so I can hear it a little, but there is a ton of background hiss. I've done a web search and several people have reported this problem. so I think it might be something besides junk mics. Why do they install them if they are completely unusable? Thanks again. I'll try trashing the sound pref's too.

Photo slideshow on Imovie?

Is it possible to do a photo slideshow on imovie? I've uploaded all the files from iphoto and transfered them to imovie, but once i try to play the movie it will only play one clip at a time. Am i missing something? A response ASAP would be great b/c i'm trying to do a surprise video for my dad's 50th birthday! Thanks!

This may not really be what your problem is... but if it is, it is a really simple fix! When you click "play" to view the show, make sure you aren't just selecting one image and are clicked outside of a single photo box so that the whole show is selected.
Just happened to stumble across your post and remember being a little bit stumped by that at one point myself... good luck!

Can't center Pics on Imovie Theme design

Unlike the Theme options in IDVD, where with the "editing" hand a picture can be moved so that it's centered in the design of the frame, I can't seem to do this with the new Imovie Theme options. I am dropping my pics into the slots but some of the pics are out of allignment. Anybody know if that's a glitch in the program or if I need to somehow go back into Iphoto and re-crop my pic and hope that it will drop into the drop zone the way I want? Thanks for your help!

I think, I have a similar problem! I crop a photo in iMovie and then I put it in a theme, for example the "passage" theme. In the theme the photo is displayed at its full resolution. That means, you see only a piece of the photo. Perhaps it is only a problem when you work with 1080i resolution, because in DV I didnt notice this problem.
