Fit video into an image in iMovie

Hi,
I have a recorded video of an iOS app that I would like to insert into a static image representing the iPhone border. How can I do this in iMovie? I've added the video to a project, then added the photo as an overlay but the video is bigger that the frame where I want the video to be displayed.
On this screenshot, I want the video to me resized to fit into the pink rectangle
cheers,
Tex

You can do a close up with the crop tool. You can adjust the color on entire frames, but you cannot adjust the color on just the eyes.

  • Embed an video into an image

    Let start with the simple stuff.
    Operating system is Windows XP
    Photoshop version is CS4 V11
    I have been racking my brains trying to figure out how to embed a video file into an image in Photoshop.
    GOAL: i have a Jpeg of a TV screen frame. I want to take a YouTube video that i downloaded and place it into this TV screen frame.
    After this i want to be able to save it in some way (i suppose save for web devices as a GIF) and then place that picture of a TV screen with a running video into a banner i am creating (like a website signature banner with a running video on the side of it).
    All the tutorial videos i have found are from older versions of PS where bridge and ImageReady were all a part of the main program. CS4 is not like that so i cannot figure out how to even get the movies from bridge, or into Photoshop at all since they are two separate programs and i have not found a way to either open it with PS or move it to PS from Bridge.
    I have it currently saved in both .mov and .avi file formats as i was not sure which would work (but the tutorial used .mov)
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It was simply an example.
    1. I can capture the video myself with a capture card of me playing the game if that makes you feel better about it.
    2. And when i said GIF i was refering to an animated GIF.
    3. It is my website so i am pretty sure no one will mind if the file is larger than a normal website signature. We have plenty of bandwidth.

  • Cutting up a video into different events using iMovie

    I have just imported a large homemade video into iMovie which is just one file but contains footage taken from various holidays I have been on. Is there a way to separate the video into different events under the Event Library? I seem to be having trouble working out how to do it.

    It is possible in the event library, but I would suggest that you do it in an app called MPEG Streamclip. It will be much faster and easier to do it using MPEG Streamclip.
    Download MPEG Streamclip here.
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Drag your large file into MPEG Streamclip.
    Now, set your playhead to the beginning of the first event, and type i for in point. move the playhead to the end of this clips, and type o for out point. Then, use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. Choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your codec. (Note: if your original clips are in DV, you may wish to stick with DV. Otherwise use Apple Intermediate Codec, and don't change any of the settings. Give it a name and location. You can import this into an iMovie Event using FILE/IMPORT MOVIE in iMovie.
    Repeat this until you have all the clips you need.

  • How to you import youtube videos into iMovie 13?

    I want to take a youtube video that a friend of mine put on youtube and import this into imovie 13 to edit it.  I do not have any of the original video that my friend shot...just the video found on youtube.  Thanks.

    Attach your iPhone to USB for syncing.
    iPhoto should automatically start.
    Import your photos and videos into iPhoto.
    Open iMovie. Navigate to the iPhoto Event in the Events list.
    You can edit from there.
    (When you open iMovie, it may ask to create thumbnails for iPhoto videos. Say yes and let it run.)

  • Cropping Video into Separate Files

    Hi,
    Is there any way to crop videos into separate files in iMovie?
    Thanks!

    in short: no.
    the free 30d trial of FCPX would easiely allow to crop the video.
    or,
    free Mpeg Streamclip offers a crop feature too.
    keep in mind:
    resolution gets axed by 75% doing so => dramatic quality loss.

  • I have been trying to import VHS video into iMovie via a Hollywood Dazzle bridge.  Did not have trouble until I upgraded to mavericks.  I have a mac book pro, 10.9.1, iMovie 10.0.2.  Says it is recording, but when I go to check, it says the file is empty.

    I have been trying import VHS video into iMovie via a Hollywood Dazzle bridge.  I have been successful doing this in the past, but now it is not working.  I have a mac book pro, 10.9.1, (mavericks), iMovie 10.0.2.  Everything in iMovie looks like it is working.  It reads "recording" in the upper left hand corner of the pane while the video is playing.  When I stop the process to check on my clip it says that the file is empty.  The only thing that has changed since I did it successfully is that I upgraded to mavericks from whatever I had previously.  My system is about one year old.  Any suggestions?

    Hey, Clinton,
         Thanks for your help!  I was able to go to iMovie 9.0.9 and import video.  I was still curious as to why it didn't work in version 10.0.2, so I contacted Apple tech support.  They were't sure at first as to why it wouldn't work, so they had me delete iMovie 10.0.2 and then re-install it just to see if something had gone wrong when it upgraded.  That didn't change anything.  In the end, they determined that 10.0.2 doesn't support the Hollywood Dazzle DV bridge.  But I have a workaround path from them that I will share so that it's possible to import to 9.0.9, then move it to 10.0.2. 
         1.  Open iMovie 9 (finder/applications/iMovie 9.0.9
         2.  Import from Dazzle Bridge to iMovie 9, note which event you are importing the clips into
         3.  Close iMovie 9
         4.  Open iMovie 10 (probably in the dock)
         5.  File/Import Media...navigate to home(this was my name, on the left side of iMovie, under Favorites)/Movies/iMovie events.  Find the event folder that contains your Dazzle clips (tip-try sorting by date modified to look at recent events.) 
         6.  Select the clips and import.  Click the blue "Import Selected" button on the bottom right.
    You may get a message that some files cannot be imported.  Click continue import.  It's a little glitchy.  It imports your clip, and also makes a copy of it, too.  On the copy, the audio is normal, but the video is choppy.  In any case, you would delete the copy, anyway.
    Hope this additional information helps somebody else.  Thanks again, Clinton for helping me!

  • I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash.  When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb.  How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

    I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash.  When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb.  How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

    Non-destructive editing is an important feature of iMovie HD 6.
    iMovie preserves the entire copy of every clip you place into your movie in case you change your mind at a later stage.
    So, if you have cut out one minute from a 45 minute clip, iMovie will have stored two complete copies of that clip. This is why is helps to set import as 3-5 minute clips rather than one huge chunk. As DV runs at 13GB per hour your project files can get very big.
    One workaround is to complete the editing of a section of the movie, then export that to Quicktime: highlight the clip/s, choose Share-Quicktime, turn on Share selected clips only, and choose Full Quality from the pop-ip menu.
    Once you have saved the stand-alone clip to your hard drive, you can re-import it into your project using the File/Import command, and delete the original long clip/s from the project.

  • FireWire is the only way to import Canon HV20 Camcorder videos into iMovie?

    As a followup to my last post a moment ago tonight 1/30/08:
    Is it true that I need a FireWire cable to import Canon HV20 Camcorder videos into iMovie?
    If so, the Apple salesperson is wrong.
    He told me last Monday that purchasing the new iLife 2008 (that contains iMovie 2008) would allow me to use my current USB cable.
    Given I see NO FireWire port on my new MacBook Pro (bought in 8/2006), I don't see a solution.
    Note the camera, an HD camcorder (the Canon HV20) did NOT come with a FireWire cable; it only came with a USB male plug on one side of the cable and the other is a small square-like male plug that connects to a female port on the Canon HV20.
    Solution?
    Thanks for any suggestions, Daniel

    The USB cable is for importing still photographs. Not video.
    The firewire 400 cable you need is one that goes from the 6 pin full size male connector to the small 4 pin form used for DV.
    The cable plugs into the camera in a socket behind a plastic flap near the eyepiece. Its marked HDV/DV. The other end plugs into the MBP on the right-hand side. 4th from the back.

  • Getting Analog Video into iMovie

    Greetings,
    OK, so I have successfully imported digital video into iMovie on several occasions with my "newer" video camera (a SONY DCR-TRV80).
    Problem is, I have and older camera (a Canon ES800A) that uses 8mm tape. I've been wanting to get rid of the camera (a nice one for it's time) but, I have about 6 tapes worth of video that I'd like to at least permanently archive.
    I suspect there is some hardware device out there that will allow me do to this - can anyone tell me would I need to be shopping for? (hoping it's not prohibitively expensive!)
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Next up? - a camcorder with a hard disk!
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Hi : I have a related problem maybe you could help me with....I've got about 6 Beta tapes [ remember them ? ] that I'd like to transfer to DVD while there still viewable. About 4 hours of tape on each....
    I have an Optura 20 DV [Canon] and a Beta tape machine. The optura 20 manual says you should be able to run the RCA plugs out of the Beta unit into the AV jack on the Optura, then FW out into I - Movie. OR you can record onto a DV tape, then into IMovie. I've had no luck with either method. No Beta material shows on the DV monitor no matter what I do. It does play into a standard T.V from Beta, so I know the tape AND the Beta machine are working.
    Do I need something like that Canopus Converter ? ....don't know if that' s the exact name .
    Any suggestions appreciated...Thanks

  • I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this?

    I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.

    The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
    The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
    Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
    This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.

  • Imported video into iMovie but has no audio

    Imported video into IMovie has the video but no audio. I did recently upgrade to OS lion and earlier video imports from snow leopard is fine

  • Embedding video into imovie

    Can anyone tell me if imove embeds video into imovie project, or does is always need to find the video file to play it?
    thanks

    fryedmeb,
    I'm not sure if I completely follow your question, but I'll take a stab at it.
    What appears as a single iMovie project file is really a package containing all the necessary media for the project. Video clips, audio clips etc.
    It also contains a reference file with instructions on how all the pieces get put together to form the project.
    But, at the iMovie project stage, all the media are discrete pieces. "Unembeded" so to speak.
    Once you output (Share) your iMoive to, say, a full quality DV QuickTIme file, the movie is then rendered as one self contained file.

  • Video Converters to get Sony Video into iMovie

    I am new to the video side of the world and need some advice. I am trying to import videos into iMovie. I am trying to import video from a Sony Cam, a DVD tht I made myself but mow would like to edit and my Flip Video. Additionally I will import video from a friends Nikon. Apple "suggested" handbrake, streamclip and toast. I see there a number of them on the app store. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
    Zapple

    Handbrake will be useful for converting the DVD back to a format that iMovie can edit. MPEG Streamclip requires some extra software still sold by Apple caleld the MPEG-2 QuickTime Playback component, download the beta of Streamclip and follow their directions for installing it will get the MPEG-2 component installed correctly. This will then let you open the DVD directly in Streamclip and get pieces out of it or just convert the whole disk to Apple Intermediate Codec. As for Sony and Flip video, don't know specifically which camera you have and what formats they record in, but there's likely a way to convert most of them into Apple Intermediate Codec which is the native editing/playback format that iMovie uses.

  • Bringing Videos into iMovie from DVDs

    I am a dance teacher and I have several dance teach DVDs. I created most of these from a VHS to DVD machine. They do work on standard DVDs and on the Mac.
    But, after spending the day reading through the iMovie 11 instructions, I have yet to find any explanation that would help me capture any of this video into iMovie 11.
    please send response to [email protected] I am not at all sure where this response goes and it seems to be going to my work email but I have retired.
    Jim

    Use MPEG Streamclip and Apple's MPEG-2 playback component to convert the VOB files on the DVD to DV. Click here for more information.
