Can you create an iMovie project from 2 different formats?

Hi,
I have video shot with a newer Cannon HD camera, and a slightly older Sony Handicam (DV), both shot on miniDV tapes.
iMovie '09 accepts both, but the stuff shot in DV looks distorted, and appears to have the aspect messed up as there are the "black bars" around it, making it almost look squished.
I don't think changing my camera play back settings will help. I'm guessing it was shot in 4:3. Would I have to edit/zoom every frame to "fit"? My ultimate project would be widescreen as that's what my HD was shot in.
Thanks in advance for any help

To use 4:3 content in a 16:9 project you have 2 options FIT or CROP.
In a 16:9 project:
- The " FIT " option displays 4:3 content Pillar-Boxed (Black bars on both sides of the image)
- The " CROP " option zooms the 4:3 content to fill the 16:9 frame (No black bars)
Here's how you can access these options:
1. Open iMovie '09
2. Go to "File > New Project" and select "Widescreen 16:9"
3. Click "Create"
4. Drag & Drop a _4:3 clip_ into the _16:9 project_ you just created
5. Go to "iMovie > Preferences... > General"
6. Check the "Show Advanced Tools"
7. Back to your project select your 4:3 clip
8. Press the "c" key on your keyboard
9. Choose between FIT or CROP and click "Done"
That's it!

Can I open an imovie project from an external hard drive on a different computer than my own? If so how?

Can I open an imovie project from an external hard drive on a different computer other than my own? If so how?

If you used the Finder to move the files, iMovie will have lost track of them. iMovie holds the locations of the Event files, and Project files contain references to those locations. If you move the files, iMovie has no way of knowing where they are.
If you can, first move all the files back to their original locations. Plug in the external drive. Open iMovie and move the files in iMovie's interface (help explains how, but basically, just drag and drop in the event pane).
Then you can connect the drive to the new computer, and iMovie will see them.

Can you create a .ics file from entries in a PDF?

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone can help me: Can you create a .ics file from entries in PDF?
Example:
I'm wanting people to be able to choose a number of dates for some events within a PDF, then click a button that will then create a (or number of) .ics files so they can add those dates to the calendar of their choice. Is this possible?
Thanks

Using the solution supplied by Leonia, and cited by Keith, you can do the same thing (flopping the Curve profiles) in LightRoom. So, it makes sense. Though I didn't know know it worked for Color Negatives.
A friend of mine with a Nikon Coolscan is going to scan nearly 150 B&W rolls of 35mm negatives for me, and I want to import them all into Aperture, naming and keywording as I go. The objective is, of course, to have the convenience of a diigtal library. But also to have some made into large prints for framing.

Can you create a new comp from a clip after you already have one in your project?

I know if you create a new project and import a clip, then drag that clip down to the timeline panel, After Effects will create a new composition based off of the specs of the clip, which is exactly as long as the clip. Is there a way to do this after you have already created one composition in your project?
I've tried it and it just wants to add the clip to an already opened composition or if you close all the compositions, it wants to add it to the render queue.

Actually, that's not quite right. To create a new composition with settings that match those of the footage item, you drag the footage item to the Create A New Compsotion button at the bottom of the Project panel. See "Create a composition".
If you drag a footage item from the Project panel to the Timeline panel for an already existing composition, then you are telling After Effects to create a new layer based on that footage item inside the existing composition.
If you drag a footage item to the Render Queue panel, then After Effects creates a new composition from the footage item and immediately adds that composition to the render queue.

Use global variables.
Compare them with a constant Boolean like F or T.
The result is true or false and then you can use it in a Cae-Loop.

How can I transfer my imovie project from the imac to the macbook pro

So that way I can continue to make/edit the movie on the go. I have a 27" imac and a macbook pro that I am working with.
Thanks

The best way would be to move it using an external hard drive. Then you have to move the hard drive between the two computers. In fact you could all the Events folders and the Project on that same hard drive too. And everything would be self contained. You would use iMovie to copy the Projects and Events onto the external hard drive (don't drag anything outside of iMovie, moving the files manually is NOT good). Then as a last step run the Consolidate Project command on that copy of the project on the External HD. That would get everything you needed into one spot.
But be aware, your iTunes and iPhoto libraries are going to still be on your iMac. So you may not have access to EVERYthing you need to put into the final project.

Can you create a To Do from the Subject line of an email?

Does anyone know if it's possible to create a To Do from the subject line of an email in Mail?
Here's what I'm trying to do. I open a mail message, then I can highlight any text in the body of the message. When I do this, the To Do button becomes enabled. If I highlight the subject of the message, the To Do button remains disabled.
Is there any way of doing this aside from highlighting text, then changing the text?
Thanks!

Open Mail Help from the Help menu. One of the main topics listed is how to create to-dos. Click on it to see what you are able "to do."

Can you create a new table from an Excel spreadsheet

It would be GREAT if there was a way to use SQL Developer to take an Excel Spreadsheet, and create a new table based on it - does anyone know if that's possible?
Thanks,
Brad Blake

Excellent - yes, from the thread on the SQLDeveloper website, it looks like you will be able to create a new table from an .xls file - very cool!
Does anyone know when version 1.1 is supposed to be coming out?

Can you create a web gallery from Stacks?

Hi.
I have several stacks totalling 108 images.
How do I create a web gallery that shows the images, not the picks from Stacks? Is that even possible?
Thanks,
Scott

I would keyword the stacks in question then build either an Album or a Project from the keyworded images, and a web gallery from that.

Can't import an iMovie project from an ios8 device to iMovie on mac

Apple needs to update iMovie so that projects work between both IOS and OSX. Feeling really ripened off. I'm creating great videos and photos with my iPhone6 but can't import the project to my Mac running Yosemite.

Fully agree. you should write as well a note to Apple and Report that as a bug as it was working before in iMovie11

Can you create an iWeb domain from an iWeb sight?

What happens if the computer you are using to create the iWeb crashes? Your iWeb page is still out there but the domain in Application Support/iWeb is now gone. Can I recreate that from the original site? I feel kind of dumb creating a whole new site that is still active.
This first came up because we run mobile accounts in our school. I only sync the desktop and documents folders. Then when a student moved to a new computer, the domain was not there. Or at least that is what I discovered. What they saw was when they opened iWeb, all the work they just did was gone. It wanted to start over. Even though what they had done prior was still on the web.
I am getting ready to show some of my teachers iWeb. I don't want them to have this same problem. Their sites may be quite extensive. And that much work to go lost would be a shame.
Please help

Hi Brian,
iWeb's Domain file is kept in the user's Home folder Library:
Users/username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain
I think the easiest thing to do in your situation when you're finished working is just copy the Domain file to a usb flash thumb drive. Then you have your work with you and you can open and edit your site(s) from any machine running the same version of iWeb.
Remember also that flash drives can/will fail at some point. If you are building large sites it's not a bad idea to burn a copy of the Domain to a DVD now and then.

Can you create a radio station from a playlist

I can't find a way to do it withiut adding the tracks manually. But it would be a nice feature if it doesn't exist.

Here are other ways to share your library but it only works if you're both on the same network: Enable Home Sharing under iTunes/File Menu and read the iTunes Help entry for Home Sharing for additional info. It will allow up to 5 computers on your network to play and download items from your iTunes Library. Alternatively, you can enable "Share My Library On My Local Network" under iTunes Preferences which allows up to 5 computers to play any content in your library but without the ability to download them.
I assume you keep your iTunes Library synchronized on both computers. If you have it also on the MacBook, this Apple support document will explain how to share your iTunes Library with multiple users on the same computer. This is by far the easiest and always available without using the network.
