Can I crop background out of transitions? i want to delete some backdrop but still keep film widescreen

i have created my movie, but want to delete backdrop left and right, stil keeping widescreen view. Is there any way I can do this? can i add backdrop to a transition? before exorting or can I crop the transition somehow (manually i.e just the sides..

You can crop both video clips and still clips (still frames and photos) in iMovie '11, but I don't recall if cropping video is a feature in iMovie '09. See the following illustration regarding the process in iMovie '11:
I've numbered 3 items in the picture above, as follows:
Click on a clip in the timeline, then click on the Crop, Rotate and Ken Burns tool in the centre tool bar (numbered 1). Otherwise, click on the small gear icon at the start of the clip and from the pop-up menu select Cropping and Rotation.
In the preview window, click on Crop in the upper left corner (numbered 2). You will then see a green border around the full video frame.
Drag the green border (numbered 3) inwards to roughly select the area to be retained. A "grab hand" will appear, enabling you to move the crop frame to the required position. Fine tune the green frame by increasing or decreasing the size as required. Click "Done" when finished.
Any extraneous material will now be excluded from the video clip. This may result in a slight quality loss, depending on how close you crop. You can also split the clip into shorter segments prior to cropping if you are looking to make an adjustment to a small section of your clip rather than to the whole clip.

    Go to the store in iTunes and in the top right click on your account. You can add or remove payment info there.

However i do not remeber the answers, how am i meant to download music as this is stopping me from doing it. I really need help as it is really annoying me! Thank you.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • HT4191 I deleted notes on my mac but did not want them deleted from iPhone but after synching they are all done. Can I get them back?

    Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
    You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
    1.  You don't need to.
    2.  Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
    3.  Settings->General->Background App Refresh Will show which Apps are allowed to get data in the background
    4.  It restricts it to Wifi.  If the App requires internet access and Data is turned off, it will have to wait until the device is connected to a wifi network.
    5.  Nope, You just use up battery since the BT radio will continuously look for nearby BT devices.
    6.  The Personal Hotspot uses your cellular internet connection from your phone or other cellular device; whether you consider that secure or not I cannot say.  It also depends on what you are doing while connected to the Hotel's wifi. I would not do online banking while on vacation though.

  • Can I download iOS 6 onto my iPhone 4? I'm trying but I keep getting an error msg.

    Can I download iOS 6 onto my iPhone 4? I'm trying but I keep getting an error msg.

    OK, but if you do want to try iTunes, you just hook up your iPhone to your PC or Mac like you were going to sync it, and it will tell you that there is an update for your phone when you initiate the sync.
    Otherwise, best of luck! Hope it all gets sorted out quickly!!!

  • I want to delete some photos of the user pictures. Where can I find them?

    I want to delete some photos of the user pictures. Where can I find them?
    I mean those pictures, which come on when clicking on the user-picture, here "latest".

    Unfortunately I don't speak German.
    Go back to Recents (Letzte), select a picture, and then hit the delete key. Delete all that you want to. At this point the 'Done' button will be grayed out.
    Click the Show All button at the top left.
    Then go back to see if the user pictures were removed. It worked for me.

    Hi Poppysmum,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds to me like you are looking for a temporary increase in your iCloud storage. If this is the case, I would suggest reading over the attached article that discusses upgrade and downgrade options with iCloud storage.

    Have a great day,

    Same here.... No fix. Replacing is the option apparently and if you're out of warranty, you're SOL. That was as per the "Genius" at Apple.

  • I am clearing through my phone for more memory. I want to delete some personal photos and videos of family forever, how can i do this ?. I do not want the photos or videos to be found anywhere.

    I am using a Iphone 5c device on software update IOS 7.1.2. I want to delete some personal videos and photos of my family and friends and myself. I am worried that if i delete them they may still be on my itunes account or icloud account. I do not want them on any of my accounts or files anywhere, I would like them gone off of everything. How can i do this?
    Thanks in advance.

    The answer is not simple. First, are these images in the Camera Roll or the Photos app? Next, do you have Photo Stream enabled? Also, do you back up your phone to your computer or to iCloud, or to both?
    If you have Photo Stream enabled then the images have already been distributed to anyone who is subscribed. Nothing that I can think of that you can do about that. The rest of this post assumes that Photo Stream was never turned on.
    If the images are in your Camera Roll you can delete them from the Camera app. The won't go anywhere, however, they will still be in your backups.
    If you back up to your computer using iTunes you can go to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab, and delete your backups. After deleting all of them, and also after you have deleted the images from the Camera Roll, do a new backup.
    After deleting the backups do a Secure Delete of deleted files on your computer. On a Mac you can do this with Disk Utility; have it erase deleted files. On Windows you need to get a 3rd party "shredder" app.
    If you back up to iCloud on the phone go to Settings/iCloud - Storage & backup - Manage Storage. Tap on each backup and delete it.
    If you have photos in the Photos app that are NOT in the Camera Roll album you need to connect your phone to iTunes, click on the Photos tab, uncheck all of them that you don't want (or uncheck Sync Photos if you want all of them gone), then sync.
    Then repeat all of the steps above.

  • Can i unpublish my site form .mac but still keep my site/pages in iweb?

    i am sick of errors, etc... so i have purchased ouside hosting. i want to use my idisk space to back up my files. how do i get the site i published before off of there (to free up more space) but still keep all of my website work in iweb???
    thanks!

    What you want to do is to delete your sitefolders from your iDisk. Just go into your iDisk and delete the "Web" folder that you see in the root directory. As you are deleting the files, you may get some error messages about permissions or privileges...disregard these and just continue with the process. This should clear out your iDisk space used by iWeb.

    Hello, HenryWang2103.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    The Safari, Email and Notes applications are native to the iOS and is unable to be deleted.  Since this is the case, they are either in a folder on the iPhone, on another page or Restrictions are enabled.  You can also search for these Apps on the iPhone by touching the screen and sliding your finger down.  Here is some information regarding these features.  The information about folders is located in the user guide below.

  • I am trying to delete some aps, but the delete "X" does not come up when the ap is pressed.  Anyone know how I can fix?.

    Hi, I am trying to delete some aps, but the delete "x" does not come up when the ap is pressed.  Anyone know how to fix.  Also, my ipod is turning off on its own and won't power back on unless I plug it in although it is fully charged.

    For the apps:
    - You can't delete the apps that came with the iPod
    - Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and see if there is the Restrictions set that prevents deleting apps

    Hi SarahElizabeth18,
    If you are getting errors about there not being enough space on your device, you may want to check to see if Other data is unusually large. You may find the following article helpful:
