Can't get transitions and text in 16:9

Hi all you helpful!
I've edited a project shot in 16:9 and all video looks perfect. However as soon as I try to impose a title, a transition or text iMovie changes the aspect ratio to 4:3 for that particular clip. The same happens when I use still photos imported from iPhoto.
Is this a limitation in iMovie? Can't it produce transitions and text in wide format? The video is shot in PAL using a Sony DCR PC100E.
Many thanks in advance for your kind assistance.
Yours confused

Thanks dj_paige, for the reply.
Just managed to work that out. I was (well I am) using  RDP from a Netbook, to my main computer (which is connected to a 42" TV in the lounge). Looks like I'll have to use the big screen for any serious editing, or get a laptop with a bigger screen.
Would be good if Adobe provided an actual error message though!

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. It came installed on my HP Desktop. I am can not get the warp text tool to work. It has worked in the past. Once I click warp text, the little window does not pop up, and if I try to do anything else after I click warp text, it wont let me. Just sounds the ding, alert, can still slightly navigate the program but can not use any other tools after clicking warp text. I just have to open task manager and close the program. not sure if I'm doing something wrong or maybe I just need to uninstall and re install. Having trouble finding out how to uninstall and reinstall because the program came pre installed on my desktop.

    It actually sounds like the warp text window is opening off screen.
    Resetting the photoshop elements 10 preferences should fix it.
    *Press and hold the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after you start the launch of the photoshop elements 10 editor
    *Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop elements setting file
    *Press Yes

  • My old computers broken so i want to update using another but im afraid of losing all apps, i get a message saying because this isnt my computer I can only transfer contacts and texts etc.

    my old computers broken so i want to update using another but im afraid of losing all apps, i get a message saying because this isnt my computer I can only transfer contacts and texts etc. how can i make it copy everything?
    cheers!

    The iPhone is NOT a storage device so it does not support transferring it's data to another iTunes library.  You can transfer purchased iTunes music and apps, but any music you ripped yourself or purchased from somewhere else cannot be transferred without purchasing some additional 3rd party product.
    Certainly in this digital age, everyone is backing up their important data, right?  You can take the backup copy of the data on your broken computer and load it into your new one.

  • How can I get just the text to resize, rather than the entire web page?

    I used to be able to re-size just text on a webpage by typing Ctrl + +. Today, the entire webpage re-sizes, and when I move to another page it reverts. (I see this mostly in Facebook.). Why did this change, and can I go back to having just the text re-size?

    ''How can I get just the text to resize -- zoom text only''

    #"Alt" if no menu bar, then

  • How can I get Multi-color text it a swing componet?

    How can I get Multi-color text it a swing componet?
    I've tryed JTextPane and JEditorPane.
    If they support having text in more then one color then I don't see how.
    I want to make a color-coded Java editor in Java, but I can't color-code if I can only have one color.
    JComponent.setForeground(Color fg)
    is not what I need.
    maybe Java doesn't support it yet.
    but I hope it does.
    Please help, thanks.

    Hi,
    I've made you a little example with a coloured JEditorPane and JTextPane:
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.text.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    public class ColorDemo extends JFrame {
         public ColorDemo() {
              super("ColorDemo");
              // coloured JEditorPane
              JEditorPane editorPane = new JEditorPane("text/html",
                   "<FONT color=red> This </FONT>"+
                   "<FONT color=blue> is </FONT>"+
                   "<FONT color=green> a </FONT>"+
                   "<B> JEditorPane </B>");
              editorPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250, 150));
              // coloured JTextPane
              JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane();
              textPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250, 150));
              Document doc = textPane.getDocument();
              Style def = StyleContext.getDefaultStyleContext().
                   getStyle(StyleContext.DEFAULT_STYLE);
              try {
                   StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.blue);
                   doc.insertString (0, "This ", def);
                   StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.red);
                   doc.insertString (5, "is ", def);
                   StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.green);
                   doc.insertString (8, "a ", def);
                   StyleConstants.setBold(def, true);
                   StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.black);
                   doc.insertString (10, "JTextPane", def);
              } catch (Exception e) {}
              JPanel contentPane = new JPanel();
              contentPane.add(textPane);
              contentPane.add(editorPane);
              setContentPane(contentPane);
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              JFrame frame = new ColorDemo();
              frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
                   public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
                        System.exit(0);
              frame.pack();
              frame.setVisible(true);
    }Hope this helps,

  • Where can I get/buy more text bullets for pages?

    The text bullets for iWork Pages are nice, but I would like many more choices.
    Where can I get/buy more text bullets?
    I have done some searching on the web and I am finding it very difficult to find any graphics stores for text bullets.
    I would really appreciate if someone has some suggestions.

    Any character from any font can be used as a text bullet. I suggest that you look at the "special" characters you already have available in many of the fonts that came with your computer. The Character Viewer applet is very useful for this.

    My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini? There are some contacts on the iPad already but nowhere near all of them. I need to re-enter the contacts manually into an iPhone 4 as it does not support iOS 8.

    Let me get this straight.....You lost your phone.  You never backed it up, either to your computer or to a cloud service.
    How in the world would you expect to get data back?

  • Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Also, when I do try to drag it out of the Trash to put it back into Applications (on the Finder sidebar), it asks me to authenticate with the administration password.  I enter it, and then a window appears saying that I can't do that because I do not have permission to modify iTunes.  Please help.

    How can I get photoshop and Illustrator CS5? I cannot see it anywhere. My computer(PC) can only use CS5

    If you do not own a license for CS5 there is not much you can do to get it thru Adobe.  They only sell current versions of their software (CS6 or Creative Cloud).  You would need to find a third party vendor and take your chances with them.
    If you do own a CS5 license you can download the software thru the following page and use your serial number to activate:

    Have you tried rebuilding preferences?
    Working in a new user account?
    Workspaces are saved in your local user folder. If workspaces are not saved, this could be problems with either Illustrators preferences in general or your user account.
