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.

  • Is there anywhere I can download or buy additional imovie themes?

    The themes already included in the imovie update are great, but we're trying to do something a little more unique. Is there anywhere we can buy or download more themes? Not trying to build a theme out, just want to see what else is out there. Thanks!!

    No, there are no 3rd party addons available. However, on most themes there's a background menu button in the lower toolbar where you can choose a different color or add your own photo. That leaves the door open to create your own page background with any texture and color you'd like. Or even an wallpaper type of background, i.e. a reoccurring pattern throughout.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Can't edit pics in iMovie

    Im trying til edit a photo in imovie (ken burns effect).  When i mark the clip, and push the ken burns button, i cant move the start and stop point .  Can anyone help?

    Hi ivdemark,
    If you see above, I read the iMovie support.
    It says that the titles that you can't edit are in gold, while the titles you can edit are in blue. This title is in blue.
    The options are there, they are just greyed out.
    Below is a full screen shot. Does this help show the issue?

  • I Can't Drag Pics to iPhoto in the Dock Anymore....

    Hey Hey!!!
    I upgraded to Snow Leopard and since then, I can't drag pics and leave them in iPhoto in the dock.
    The pics drag, but bounce back when I let go of them in iPhoto.
    What can I do to change this?
    Thanks!!!!
    Dan

    Hey Hey
    Are you dragging from the Finder? Or for a Web Browser? If it's Safari right click on the pic and choose 'Add to iPhoto Library'.

  • How can I center a symbol on a responsive page created with adobe edge ?

    Hi everybody !
    I started working on Adobe Edge Animate for about 1 month now, it's a great tool for a young web designer like me.
    Actualy, I'm working on my responsive personal website and I encountered some problems. When I create a new symbol and that I put this one on my main scene, I can't center it (there isn't all the option available for an image for exemple).
    ( Sorry for my broken english, I'm french )

    I built a file with your issue or problem: demo file (attachment).
    I found one solution: see pictures. Size and position of the container ("Group") are relatives (%).
    Dans les posts antérieurs, je proposais: soit de mettre les ellipses et le rectangle dans un même conteneur, soit d'ajouter un super-conteneur.
    Mais définir relativement le conteneur fait aussi l'affaire. Relatif=% et absolu=pixels.
    Comme ils disent : "Voilà !". Bon réveillon du nouvel an.

  • All of my purchased apps (games) and apps such as Weight Watchers, Facebook, WeatherBug, Sports and Pinterest, Notes, Nook, etc.  are all locked up.  They simply flash, then nothing!  How can I fix this to make them work again.

    First Issue:   All of my purchased apps (games) and apps such as Weight Watchers, Facebook, WeatherBug, Sports and Pinterest, Notes, Nook, etc.  are all locked up.  They simply flash, then nothing!  How can I fix this to make them work again?  If I have to delete the purchased apps, will they still be in iTunes, or will I have to re-purchase them? 
    Second Issue:   When I synced to my desktop (Windows XP)  All my photos loaded onto my iPad2.  I don't really want all 3000 + pics on my ipad!!  How do I get them off?  Next time I synced, they loaded again!  Now I have so many duplicates!  How do I get rid of the photos and prevent this from happening again?

    If none of your third-party apps are working, but the Apple built-in ones are ok, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted. In terms of re-downloading apps then you can do so as long as they are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    For synced photos, then with the iPad connected to and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, then on the Photos tab on the right-hand side you can control which photos are synced to the iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 . If you don't want any photos to be synced then try selecting just an empty folder.

  • Fiori Theme Designer: Target Content not saved

    Hello,
    I have created a theme based on the blue crystal theme. At first I entered the link to the application (URL to launchpad) and add the name of the application (eg "Launchpad").
    Now I press the "Add" button and a new entry is created as shown in the following screenshot:
    Next I do some customization and save + build my changes. If I now access my launchpad, the changes were applied.
    When I close the browser with the theme designer or just go back to the theme overview and load again my custom theme, the previously added target application ("Launchpad") is not more there (if I again add the link to my launchpad and give a name I can see, that all adaptions are loaded correctly in the preview mode, so in genereal, the changes are stored correctly, but my application target "Launchpad" not.)
    Is there a way to restore the prev. set target?
    Thanks and best regards,
    Patrick

    Hi Patrick,
    It has been a few months since I worked with Theme Designer, but the application targets never were saved, nor do I think they are meant to be saved.  Since I suspect themes to be only infrequently modified for a specific application, I don't see much of a rationale for saving those links.

  • Can't Center SWF image in Browser

    I've designed a website in flash and have inserted the SWF file into Dreamweaver, I can edit everything else I need, but for some reason - no matter what I do or try, I can't center this SWF image in Dreamweaver so the SWF file will rests in the center of a browser.
    I've tried editing the CSS in the Body, but it doesn't change anything, no matter what. The site always sits flush left.
    See results of current set up: http://www.louise-gd.com.
    Please advise as soon as possible.

    The whole page is in Flash?  Do you know what you give up when you do that (hint: lots!)?
    Try changing this -
    body {
         background-color: #999;
         right: 0px;
         margin: 0px;
         padding: 0px;
         background-position: center;
         position: relative;
         visibility: inherit;
         height: auto;
         width: auto;
    to this -
    body {
         background-color: #999;
         margin: 0 auto;
         padding: 0;
            width:650px;

  • Can't import pic's when I save my movie to an external drive

    Hi,
    When my Movie is saved to my Macintosh HD I can import pic's with no problem from iPhoto through the media pane in iMovie. Then when I save the movie file to my external HD (becasue these movie files get so big) I can't import pic's anymore. The import files dialogue box shows up, then the pic flashes in the timeline for a split second and then it disappears, or it will show up in the timeline as an all black image, but no pic. It must be something to do with my external HD, but what? Are movie files in iMovie usually saved to external drives with no problems, or is this a common occurence? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Dylan
    PS. I have the latest version of iMovie HD

    Hey Sue,
    Thanks for the reply. The external drive is formatted MS-DOS File System (FAT32). I had to do this because I had problems with it at first when I was using it interchangeably with a Mac and a PC. When it was Mac formatted it wouldn't be compatible with my PC for some reason (or I could read files, but couldn't write - something like that). Any suggestions?
    Thanks again,
    Dylan
