Enlarging pictures in  Picture section

I have a picture in the Pictures section.
I can only hit the + button to enlarge it.
How do I highlight the part I want enlarged and save that enlargement?
Thanks,
Mike

Double-click it to open it in Preview (you've probably done that already). Click the Select button in the toolbar. Hold the mouse, select the region of interest with the crosshairs. Choose Edit menu > Copy (or Command-C), then File menu > New (or Command-N). You'll get a new file with the crop. Save it.

  • How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture?

    How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture? And before it's mentioned, no, Turing off Reduce Motion has absolutely NO effect on the auto enlarge feature that apple stupidly thought would be a good idea. The Reduce Motion ONLY stops the background from subtly shifting as you turn or angle the iDevice.

    It should be my choice, not apples.
    And I agree. But neither of us is a programming engineer at Apple, and so don't get to make those decisions. The user tip I wrote was based on the fact I didn't like it either, and was trying to figure out why it was scaling an image up in the first place, and then how to fix it as best as possible.
    Since you've locked your iPad to one orientation, you should be able to copy your custom image off to your Mac (assuming you own one) and use an image editor, such as Photoshop Elements, to add pixel area to the narrow dimension to make it the same number of pixels as the larger dimension. Increase the canvas size so the extra space leaves the original narrower dimension centered, as in this example:
    Copy it back to your iPad and select the modified image. Since it's square, it shouldn't scale.

  • I just downloaded the new OS X and now I can't enlarge the page (pictures, text) by tapping the mouse. I loved that feature. How do I get it back ?

    Thank you very much. I just called Apple support and the woman told me I was out of luck because with the new OS X it (that feature) was gone.
    I'm not sure she knows too much.
    Maybe I can get a job there. I don't know as much as she didn't know !

  • Split clip of a picture in picture

    Question,
    When using picture and picture or a cutaway, I would like to split the top part into sections. Using the split clip command on it splits the lower main video, but not the one on top.
    I am attempting to edit video from 2 cameras of the same event into one movie. I also would like to keep the sync intact through the entire thing and not have to resync each camera change by hand. I know Final Cut Express and pro can do this sort of thing, but everything costs money...
    There is a neat trick with a cutaway or picture in picture- you can open the clip editor and adjust the opacity from 0% (invisible so you see what is underneath) to 100% (so you see only the top video). So the idea is to use the cutaway to paste the camera 2 ontop of camera 1, sync them once, then split the top video and delete sections or it (or reduce it opacity to 0%), thereby showing the video underneath...
    any ideas?

    Provide the full path to the picture file. Or if you're going to use a relative path, make sure it's relative to your current working directory.
    I don't know what you mean by a "local" file or by "my workspace".

  • IMovie Crop picture-in-picture & feature requests

    I love the new iMovie because it is so fast. I wish it had a few more features though. Maybe it does and I don't know where to look...
    1. cut-out picture after you insert picture-in-picture. It seems to let you cut-out crop a picture when you insert a picture doing green-screen which is great! but when you select picture-in-picture overlay, you are stuck either with the full size video or fully cropped version. For instance, if you are inserting a person shot on white background into a full white screen, you can't cut-crop out studio junk that are on the side of the picture without cropping the whole thing closer - loosing resolution.
    2. sharpen video. the color correction seems quite good but how come you can't sharpen video a little?
    3. cut and paste video sections INCLUDING title and dissolves.

  • How do you rotate picture in picture

    I have a picture in picture and I would like to rotate the top video.  I  have figured out how to rotate it 90 degrees, but I don't want it  straight up and down.  I would like to rotate it like 45 degrees, so  that it is at a different angle than the background video.  Is there a  way to do this?  Or will it only rotate in increments of 90 degrees?  (I posted this in the wrong section before, so I hope this is the right place now.)

    Here is my reply to this question, when asked in the Tips & Tricks sub-forum. If anyone has any comments on my method, or a better method, please add them.
    Welcoome to the forum.
    Unfortunately, you have posted to the Tips & Tricks forum, which is a repository for articles on how to do things in PrE and PrPro, and few will see your post here. Hopefully our tireless MOD, Steve Grisetti, will move the post out to the main forum.
    As for Rotation, one of the fixed Motion Effects, like Scale and Position, you can first use the numerical box (to the far right in the Effects>Edit Effects (Effects Control Panel) and either click then type in a value, or click-scrub to change the value. This will be static for your PiP Clip.
    If you wish to Rotate over time, you will want to Keyframe the Rotation Effect, and Rotate Right, or Rotate Left can be chosen. First, opposite Motion, click on the "stopwatch" icon, and you will then see stopwatches appear for all of the fixed Effects. In Rotation, first locate the CTI (Current Time Indicator w/ the red edit line) on the first Frame of your Clip. Click on the stopwatch besides Rotation to add the first Keyframe. Now, move to the last Frame (hitting PageDn, then one cursoe back arrow on the keyboard, will do that for you), and hit the Add Keyframe button on the far right of the Rotation line - looks like a yen-yang diamond, and adjust that Keyframe's value. Note: if you want multiple Rotations, beyond 360 degrees, that is possible, and you will see first a 1, then a 2 (for 2 revolutions).
    Good luck, and hope that helps,
    Hunt
    PS - Steve Grisetti has several great articles on Basic Keyframing on Muvipix.com, plus he's got several wonderful books on PrE, available there.

  • How do you use green screen and picture in picture in iMoive at the same scene?

    I understand how to do green screen and picture and picture... but how do you do it in the same sequence.. so when you are speaking with a background picture and you want to add a picture or a story within that picture... there has to be a way to do that..

    That is a great idea! So I just do everything to the clip involving the green screen. Export it to, say my desktop. Then import it back into iMovie. Then I will be able to add a picture in picture? Fantastic! Thanks so much!

  • When I try to put a PNG watermark that I made myself into a "Picture in Picture" it just gives a black screen instead of the watermark

    My channel is partnered with TGN. And they gave me a watermark. When I put the TGN watermark in it's fine, but when i put my custom watermark in I get a black screen.
    Please help me. I am using Imovie 9.0.8 Macbook pro OS X 10.8.3

    In the iMovie menu item File > Project Properties for Initial Photo Placement choose Crop - NOT Fit in Frame or Ken Burns (iMovie's default setting is Ken Burns). The latter 2 options will convert the .png image to a .jpg image.
    If you've already placed the png image into the timeline as a Picture in Picture, you will need to delete it then change the preference setting to Crop. Then you can insert the png image.

  • Picture in Picture won't display in a preview of movie

    I dragged a PNG file into the timeline and laid it over a background using Picture in Picture. It shows up in a special track with a blue box around it in the timeline. When I move the mouse over it, it previews correctly. If I play a preview with either play button (full screen or not) the picture I added doesn't show. Is this a bug or user error?

    Same thing in iMovie '09 I just noticed. But it renders, so I guess who cares.

  • Where is the Picture-In-Picture function?

    Hi,
    where can I find the Picture-In-Picture function in the new version of iMovie (10.0) ?
    In iMovie '11 (9.0) I only had to drag the clip over another one and choose the "Picture in Picture" option. How can I do this in the new version?
    I hope you can help me!

  • Second monitor Picture-in-Picture?

    Here's what I'm using:
    White Macbook 4,1 (2008)
    HDMI cable
    Mini DVI to HDMI adapter
    HDTV
    I've been using the TV as a second monitor. I know how to mirror the displays too; that's not what I'm inquiring about.
    I would like the second monitor (TV) to be a picture-in-picture on my laptop. It would be cool to have a small, windowed view of the second monitor's activity on my primary monitor. This way I can do my work and watch TV in the other room, while my roommates watch a movie on the big screen. (I have a crazy long HDMI cable)
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -Dave

    Sorry I do not know of any third party utility that can do that and of course there's noting in OSX to do that on its own.
    Physically there is no way to get video in to your machine except maybe using one of the Elgato products.

  • Inner-HTML or Picture-in-Picture on iWeb, anyone?

    Hi; dunno if you've use inner HTML code before (see code for this: <iframe src ="http://servalonline.com/Serval_Online/Video.html" width="100%" height="400"></iframe>) but basically is there anyway I can only select the lower half of the page I am trying to reference? The code above basically gives me half of the Video page from top to midway, but if I want only from midway to bottom, how do I do this? As in, I don't want to be able to scroll at all on the PIP (Picture in Picture) page. I want a fixed portion, as you see on a TV.
    For more clarity, go to this page (My site's home page: http://servalonline.com/Serval_Online/Home.html)and see that the video of the day part of the page, on the home page, has the headers but I don't want the headers, as they are duplicates and already appear above, on the top of the main page; nor do I wanna be be able to scroll up or down. I want just a fixed insert. Any ideas?

    first off, this posting system is wonky! I had to do do it three times!

    yes, I started all and it's called webclip (as in dashboard), I can clip any part of a web page and display it; here your upper right video:
    http://temp.cyclosaurus.com/sharedYoutube/WebClip.html
    it seems to me that you like to display the same video in multiple pages without duplicating the work.
    if that's the case, then here is easier way:
    1) make a page with nothing but your video:
    http://temp.cyclosaurus.com/sharedYoutube/dailyVideo.html
    2) then display it in other pages using html snippet:
    http://temp.cyclosaurus.com/sharedYoutube/Home.html
    http://temp.cyclosaurus.com/sharedYoutube/Video.html
    btw, this is the same concept as my navbar widget (build once and share all):

    code is linked to all my sample.

  • Hiding picture-in-picture

    Several people have posted questions about suppressing ithe picture-in-picture.
    I've just upgraded my copy of Conference Recorder and it has a checkbox for hiding the picture-in-picture. I don't think it was in the previous version.
    Dave

    Hey Ralph:
    It is not necessary to record the iChat in order to remove the PNP window. There is a new tab button added that allows you to unselect the PNP window. Free trial too!
    It even works while your in a video chat, so you can change it on the fly!
    Nice catch!

  • IMovie 10.0.5 Picture in Picture

    Hi,
    I make YouTube videos and I always use picture in picture on the end screen to show my last video. I haven't made one for a couple of weeks and I'm just finishing a video off but it won't let me resize the picture in picture box even when the blue dots are there. Just stays very small. Any ideas on how I can force it to do my bidding? It's hugely frustrating when I'm so close to completing it! Example in screenshot attached, any help gratefully received!

    here's a video that explains: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzyVDYPBM4c
