Cropping Options in iMovie 11

Hi,
Is it possible to only crop the sides of a clip in iMovie, I know that picking the diagonal expands or decreases the image  but then I only want to lengthen the clip at the sides rather than having the overall shape widen when I drag either side....?
Thanks.

To select multiple clips, hold down the command key as you click multiple clips. Then you can drag them all at once.
To drag all clips at once, select one, then Edit/Select All. Then drag them all.

  • I don't have the free crop option in iMovie?

    Hi, I’m trying to crop my videos but I can’t free crop it. There’s only a “crop to fill” option instead of just “crop”. Help?

  • How can I get rid of the crop effect in iMovie for all of my photos all at one time?

    I want to be able to make a time lapse video using still images that I've imported using iPhoto.  What I have been able to do so far is import the pictures and make the time per photo shorter.  However, I cannot take off the crop effect that iMovie does automatically for them.  I know how to take the crop effect off manually one by one, but that would take decades.  Is there a way so I can select all of the pictures and take the effect off all at once?

  • Easy crop option to trim wide pages for laser proof printing.

    As a print designer I often create "wide" documents. For instance I'm working on a piece that measures 25" x 11" flat and folds to 8.5 x 11 when folded.
    As I move through the process of creating layouts, making changes and creating new layouts I have to work with my customer's laser printer's 8.5 x 11 sheet size limitations. Before sending them a new layout I have to go into Acrobat and crop each side of the wide document into 3 - 8.5 x 11 pages. -- Currently that's a pain in the butt.
    Would it be possible to build into the program a crop option that divides wide pages into pages that fit optimally on a standard sheet of paper for proofing?
    It would save me a ton of time and I would be grateful beyond belief!

    I have this exact same question.  It simply won't crop.
    Why is this bug not being fixed?

    why is the idvd option on iMovie if its no longer included on the mac book pro?
    Most users buy iDVD (part of iLife 11 ON DISK).
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

  • Cmd+Option Start iMovie trash pref file - From what version ?

    Hi
    Cmd+Option Start iMovie trash pref file - From what version ?
    As I see it - it must be a New Feature to iMovie'13 (vers. 10.0.x) or does this work long back in time ?
    To set iPhoto right - has been working for quite a while - but reg iMovie - Anyone knows ?
    Any other program that can be cured this way ?

    You need iDVD to make a video DVD.
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

  • Can't see advanced options in iMovie

    When I want to go to advanced options in iMovie (version 10.0.1.) I only get the choice of two things instead of a great many choices.
    I can only choose from:
    (I only have the Dutch version, so I am not sure if I translate well)
    Fragment     Slow down automatically
    Theatre        Upload material to iCloud automatically
    Can someone help me out?
    Thanks in  advance.
    P.Diepeveen
    Als ik in iMovie (versie 10.0.1.) naar iMovie>voorkeuren ga, dan krijg ik slechts twee keuzes in plaats van een een heel scala.
    Ik kan alleen hier wel of geen vinkje voor zetten:
    Fragment     Pas vertraging automatisch
    Theater        Upload materiaal automatsch naar icloud
    Heb al overal gezocht maar niets gevonden.
    Wend mij nu tot dit forum.
    Alvast dank.

    Ok, this helps to understand.
    But now, how have I come to this question:
    I wanted to add chapters to my movie and therefore I searched where to find it.
    Then the suggestion was made to adept the preferences in advanced options..... which I could not find.
    So my actual question is now: can I add chapters to my movie?
    If not, is there an other sollution?
    Has iMovie 10.0.1. gone back in possibilities, because in iMovie 8 and 9 I was able to add chapters?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanx again.

  • Why can't I crop movie in iMovie?

    I created a new project, imported the movie, but there is no option to crop in the timeline. How can I crop the movie?

    Hey There Pippi10,
    I understand you want to crop a video clip, but are not seeing the option to do that.  From the image above, it looks like you created a project, but you didn't double click to open the project.  With the project open, you would be able to drag the selected clip above into the timeline and crop it.
    Below are a few resources for iMovie which will explain this a little more:

  • How do i find highlight "templates" like the trailer options on imovie? I don't have much time for a youth sports team project

    I previously used imovie templates that had trailers and themes.
    I found this easy when short of time, in addition I just got Final Cut Pro X and I'm trying to learn on the fly.
    Does Final Cut Pro X 10.0.3 have these type of template features with music alread on them too?

    For 'my' soccer-team, I looked for something more 'individualized'.
    So, spend some days with Motion5, and I now have my very own titles and effects, fitting to team's colors and design.
    • the 'opener' is the team-logo plus some M5 ready-made background (plus a moving light)
    • the 'us vs. other' is another M5 ready-made, modified to our blue (instead original orange). you have to replace the opponents logo for each new game, but this is drag'n drop in M5
    • the 'score' title is some very simple a/b keyframing of a ball (I stole the graphic!)  'swooshing' accross a ready-made lower-third; using the 'export parameters'-feature within M5 allows me to type in FCPX into 'my' title template
    • the most complicated one is the scorer-card: I'm using a drop-zone in Motion5 which auto-rotates and -crops the players head (… no, not the head gets roated, the recording!); plus I exported the parameters for size/roate,/move to adjust the shot in FCPX again.
    looks like a lot of work (and this was my first real project in M5), you have to read/watch tons of tutorials (esp. to catch the incredible strength of 'publish paramters') and it is - but then, it is easy to use and 'my' ( ! ) very own design.
    spend once some hours, use it every time with a single click.
    (I don't use music, just lots of swooosh, brrrmmmpf, zzzzz, tchaccaboom sound-effects )

  • Why can't I use the Fade to option in iMovie?

    Hi! I'm editing a movie on iMovie, but I'm unable to use the "Fade to" special effect. First, I select the clip, then I go Clip>Fade to>-Black and White
                                                                                                                                                                                                                   -Sepia
                                                                                                                                                                                                                   -Dream
    and the 3 options are grayed out!
    Please help!!

    The options you refer to work differently than the normal transitions and effects.
    Select any portion of a clip (not the whole clip) - either in the middle, end or beginning, or other portion - by clicking and dragging across the clip so that it is highlighted with a yellow border (this must be done in your Project, not the Event). Set the border so that it covers the duration of the effect you wish to apply.
    Now from the Clip menu item select the appropriate fade. If your highlighted selection is not at the start or end of the clip, Movie will automatically split the clip at both ends of your selection and will apply the effect as well as a cross dissolve transition at each end. If you are applying the effect to just the start or end of the clip, iMovie will split it at the appropriate position and apply the effect and transition.
    The effect is meant to provide a colour change (b&w, sepia or dream) within the clip, or at the beginning or end of the clip. It's not designed to provide a normal transition between 2 adjoining but different clips.

  • Cropping Tool in iMovie 10.0

    After updating to the latest version of iMovie the cropping tool stays grayed out no matter what kind of file I import.  Can anyone offer any advice on this issue?

  • Where can I find the editing options in iMovie?

    I think I may have hit the 'x' for the editing options (transitions, title pages, etc) but I can't figure out how to get them back. I have looked at all options in the menu, and I have shut down iMovie and reopened it, expecting it to be back to the way it was. Anyone know how I can get the options back? I use iMovie a lot to edit videos for my sign language classes and I really need the editing options.

    in the upper left, right under the 3 red/yellow/green balls there's the word 'hide' ... which is a  button
    ( at last in actual iM vers 10) ...

  • Why is the Ken Burns icon not present with the crop option on imovie10

    I do not have a tab labeled Ken Burns after I enter the crop mode with imovie10.

    The Ken Burns and other options will show up when you have a project defined and select a clip in the "timeline" of the project.
