I have an older version of imovie. After I change the photos using the Ken Burns effect and save them, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' to change the zoom, the picture appears black and I can't change the zoom?

I have a five year old version of imovie that generally works fine. However, when I add a photo using the 'Ken Burns' effect then save the movie, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' the picture appears black and I cannot change the zoom. Any suggestions?

Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
See here:
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
Let us know how that works for you.

Can I create black and white movies using the iMovie app for the iPad?

I would like to make a black and white movie using the iPad iMovie app. Is it possible to film in black and white instead of color?

This may sound strange, but I actually got to the stage of regretting ACR several versions back, because you ended up with nothing to do in Photoshop. When you think how far ACR has come since then, you can see how Lightroom (with the same RAW conversion engine and features) is all most photographers need. Adding ACR as a filter inside Photoshop was a master stroke. I wonder who thought of it? Russell Brown would be a good bet, but Chris Cox has made it clear on more than one occassion, that us lay folk dramatically underestimate what goes into coding, intergrating, and proving new features.
BTW That was not a straight line for some joker lauch into tails of woe about all the bugs that make it into final release versions.

How do you FADE UP FROM BLACK and FADE OUT TO BLACK in iMovie 11?

With all the silly effects in iMovie 11, I can't figure out how to do a simple FADE UP FROM BLACK or FADE OUT TO BLACK. Anybody know?

Fade to Black does it all. At the beginning of the sequence it fades up from black. Between clips it fades to black and back from black. At the end of the sequence it fades to black.

Why can't I use the fade to black and white option in iMovie '11?

I have a project that uses a few photos with one minute duration timers I want to slowly fade from color to black and white but the fade to options are all greyed out... Am I over looking something or doing something wrong?

Sorry, but I wasn't suggesting that you use Fade to Black or Fade to White, just explaining what they do, given that you used the term "fade" in your first post. I assumed you may have been using the Fade to Black transition (which won't achieve what you want).
I suggested that you use Cross Dissolve, but I need to explain further how to achieve the effect you are looking for. First, you need to place a copy of the photo directly after the original. Make sure Ken Burns is turned off - use Fit. Now double-click on the copy to bring up the Clip Inspector. Click on Effects and select Black & White, then click Done. Drag a Cross Dissolve transition between the 2 clips (photos) and adjust the duration to your liking in the Inspector. Now you will see the effect your are looking for.
The key is to have an exact copy of the photo following the original, then change the copy to Black and White (or Sepia or any other effect), then insert the Cross Dissolve (or Cross Blur etc.) transition.
Hope that''s what you are looking for!

Is there a difference between iMovie '11 and iMovie HD?

Just getting started with trying to learn how to edit a video. Also, is '11 short for 2011? In other words, if I referred to "iMovie 2011" would I be talking about something that actually exists? I guess HD means High Definition. What do you call something that is NOT HD? Low def? Regular Def? The introduction to "iMovie HD"manual refers to "Magic iMovie" Does the word Magic have special meaning, the way it does in reference to a mouse (mighty or magic being different)? The   manual keeps referring to "the latest" but the copyright date at the back is 2005. This makes me wonder if there is a more recent version of this manual. Is there a place on the apple website to check on what the latest version is? What is the Product I am asking abouit? I don't think it is iMac, iPhone, iS 5 or None. But those are the only choices I see below here. Why is there not a choice of "iMovie"? Or iLife?

more questions: is a "project" the same thing as a "movie"?
A Project is a movie you are making. You can use the clips from one or more events in a project. You can also use photos from iPhoto or Aperture or the Finder, and you can use Music from iTunes. When you "finish" a project, you use the SHARE menu to execute all your edits and create a file that can be played where you want it, in the size you want it. Even after you Share a project, you can go back and edit it some more if you like, but then you would need to Share it again.
   Or is it a "project" while you create it and then it becomes a "movie:" after you finish it?
A movie is the result of your Sharing the project as I mentioned above.
This is something the Apple manual writers assume everyone already knows but I do not. What is a Cache and how it is different from a Library?
You shouldn't really need to understand caches and libraries to use iMovie. The Library is a section of your hard drive that you don't generally need to go to. It holds a bunch of files that are used by the system.
A cache is a temporary place to hold something that you might need right away. For example, Let's say you are editing the first five seconds of a clip. It takes time to go out and get the clip off the disk drive and bring it into memory so you can edit it. A cache might be used, say, to save some time by going ahead and bringing in the whole clip (not just the first 5 seconds) and maybe the next clip too. Another example. You want a glass of milk. So do you go to the store and buy a glass of milk? No. You buy a gallon of milk and put it in the refrigerator. You drink your glass of milk. When you want another glass, you go to the cache (the refrigerator) not the store. The iMovie App handles all this behind the scenes so you don't have to worry about it.
Clip seems on the surface obvious (a short section of continous video/audio that is a building block for a movie) but as I think about it, I wonder.....It is BOTH audio and video? or EITHER? If a movie contained only one clip wouold it be called a clip or a movie?
The best way to understand clips is that it is a unit of video from the time you press record on your camera until the time you press stop. Ususally a clip is from 5 seconds to 20 seconds, but if you are recording a convert, a single clip might be two hours.   A clip is imported into an Event. A clip, or a portion of a clip, can be used in a project. It becomes a movie when you share the project. Could you take one clip and make a project from it with no editing? Sure.
Usually a camcorder will record both audio and video. You can, however, use only the audio or only the video in a project if you want.
If the audio and the video were from different sources would it still be a clip?
No, it would be two clips. You can edit them together. If you want to sync multiple video angles (from different cameras) and different sound sources (like really good microphones, separate from the camera) then Final Cut Pro X is your best bet. But for simple needs, you can combine audio clips and video clips in iMovie.
   What are scenes? What are sections?
A scene is usually a unit within your movie. It is up to you to define that. For example, if I was makeing a movie about my daughter's marathon, I might put a scene together about the pre-race preparations, a scene about the starting line, a scene about the midpoint, and a scen at the finish line. Each scene could have many clips. A scene is really where you use your creativity. I am not sure how you are using the word Section.
What are effects?
An effect could be changing the color balance, adding a sound effect, adding slow motion or fast motion, adding an old-timey or black and white look, adding a freeze frame, there are a lot. You dont have to use them at all. It depends on the story you are trying to tell.
How many different types of panes exist? (So far, I see audio, titles, photos, transitions, effects, and iDVD) What is the difference between iDVD and DVD?
A DVD is a round disk that you put in a DVD player. You can create a DVD if you have DVD authoring software and a DVD burner. Five years ago, all Macs had DVD burners. Now, MacBook Airs, some iMacs, and some Mac Books no longer have built-in burners, but you can always add a DVD burner through a USB port. Apple used to sell iDVD, which is an app that is used for DVD Authoring. You can still find copies of iDVD on Amazon or eBay. More on disk burning here. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3711
More and more people are shooting HD video - and DVDs are only standard definition. And more and more people are sharing the video through YouTube and Facebook, which support HD. So Apple has been deemphasizing DVD lately. They have not updated iDVD since 2006. Still, if you make movies for friends and family who are not comfortable with the internet, DVDs are still quite useful.
What is video exactly and how is video different from a movie? Does video include audio by definition? Or are there different terms to refer to video with and without audio?
I think I already answered this one.

Problem reading GoPro Hero Black 4 files (1080p 120 fps) on my iMac with Adobe Premiere Elements

Hello,
I have a problem reading GoPro Hero Black 4 files (1080p 120 fps) on my iMac with Adobe Premiere Elements : the file is read but the quality is quite bad. When I watch it with other software like VLC or MPC, the quality is perfect but the video is sometimes slowed or there are some jumps in the reading.
What is the issue with this ?
thakns for your help !
Olivier.

This is easy. I do it all the time. FCPX ingests GoPro footage just fine. Optimize, and you're good to go.
BTW: A common hiccup occurs when dealing with over-cranked footage. (60fps or 120fps.) Be sure to "conform speed" to actuate the slo-mo. 'Tis also important to designate your project / timeline at 24fps or 30fps to realize the speed difference.
I've gotten burned in the past. I'll drag my over-cranked GoPro footage to the timeline. As it is the "first" clip layed into the timeline, the project assumes THAT speed as a default. (As per my preferences.) Thus, when I "conform speed," nothing seems to happen. That's because my project is displaying at the higher rate. A 60fps timeline showing footage shot at 60fps looks "normal speed."
FYI. (And disregard if you know all this.)

Canopus ADVC 110 - picture split in two, black and white, distorted sound

Hi there - I've just recently bought a Canopus ADVC 110 - unfortunately I cannot get the picture to display properly - I've spoken to Apple and to Canopus, but neither seems to be able to help me sort this out.
Basically my imovies does receive a visual and an audio signal from the ADVC 110 ... but the picture is split in two (top half on the bottom, bottom half on the top), its black and white when it should be colour, and the sound is heavily distorted.
The help people at Canopus tell me that this appears to be an issue with PAL and NTSC settings and that there have been reported problems with importing analogue signals from combined VHS/DVD players (which is what I have). They've suggested that the box (ADVC 110) is being 'confused' by multiple signals coming from the VHS/DVD player (this doesn't help me much though). They talked me through arranging the settings so that the Video cassette, the ADVC 110 and the VHS/DVD player are all set to PAL, then have changed the setting in imovies to also read PAL - imovies then tells me that the camera connected is not using the same format (despite the letters 'PAL' on the front of the thing) - changing the imovies setting back to NTSC allows the signal to be received, but in the way described above ... OK, then its the issue with the combined signals from the VHS/DVD player ...
... but, I've now tried it with 2 other VHS players (not combined with anything else, but both supporting both PAL and NTSC ) and the result is exactly the same - I've tried it with every combination of the relevant switches on the bottom of the ADVC 110 - either the picture is as above or imovies will not import (or allow me to view) the picture or sound.
I've tried different cassettes - I've used both SVideo and 3 phono (red, yellow, black) as well as scart connections on th eback of the various VHS players - I've tried restarting the computer, the ADVC 110 and the VSH player - I've disconnected the ADVC 110, and quit imovies, between each attempt - the result is the same each time.
I've tried to find more about this on the internet, but this specific problem doesn't seem to come up - maybe I'm missing something or phrasing my searches badly.
Has anyone any suggestions on where I go from here (rather than bringing it back to the Apple shop and asking for a refund)?
And sorry for the length of the question!

ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) using imovies 4.0.1

Hi Estaphin
Welcome to discussions. I use a Canopus ADVC 100. It's similar to yours. I've never had a problem with it. I've used it connected to a VCR and an analog video camera. Then imported the video into im for various projects.
Try this. First clean the heads on your VCR. Connect an RCA cable to the L/R/ V out on the VCR. Next, connect it to the Canopus front panel - in. Connect the fire wire out on the Canopus front to the firewire in on the Mac.
Put the VHS tape in the VCR. Don't start it yet.
Open im. Set im for a new project. Turn on the Canopus from the on off switch at the back. From the input select button on the top left front of the canopus, select analog in.
Press play on your VCR. im should recognize the signal. In im select import. Your video should begin importing fine. The qulaity of the images on your computer screen will appear to be poor -- dark, faded, etc. This poor quality is for two reasons. First, analog tape can degrade fast depending on how often the tape was used previously, and how it was stored and at what tempertures.
Second, im will display the image darker because of conversion. But, don't worry. Once you burn the finished product to DVD, you'll be surprised how clear the picture is compared to what you viewed in im.
Make sue your DIP switches on the bottom of the canopus were/ are put back to the original settings.
Try that. I hope it helps

Photos going black in iMovie 11, help!

Hi guys,
first post so please be gentle.
I have a MBA with iPhoto 11 and iMovie 11 runnion Lion, I made a movie with video clips and some photos and all was working fine, photos imported from their event folder in iPhoto.
Now today i decide to add a couple more photos to the movie, in the filmstrip view i can see my photos and give them ken burns etc, however when i look in the movie preview window when it gets to the photo it just has a still from the preceeding video. This is the same if i export the video to itunes etc.
when i try to add a subtitle to the photo normally you can see the photo in the background however now i only see black.
have tried editting the photo alittle in iPhoto as mentioned elsewhere but that doesnt help.
Thanks in advance
Tigger

And 7.83Gb on a 60Gb hard. Then I think that there might be problems.
As I use to recommend a minimum of 25Gb free space - and on a MBA with a SSD-drive on 60Gb this will not match.
I wonder if this is at all possibly to get to work. As MBA usually do not have any FireWire connections and then not the possibility to use an external hard disk as Start-Up (Mac OS) HD. It will not boot via USB/USB2.
If You got Thunderbolt - that might work - BUT I don't know if one can boot via this ? (ask at Apple Store)
And if You locate iPhoto library to any other HD - iMovie will not find it.
The needed space is for iMovie and Mac OS temp. files - and they too can not be addressed externally.
One working - but expensive solution is to upgrade the 60Gb drive to a larger one - BUT THIS might be anything from impossibly to EXPENSIVE.
I think this is way out of my arsenal of solutions - Sorry
Hopefully more resourceful people will fill in.
Yours Bengt W

Canopus ADVC110 is giving me Black and White picture which is misaligned

Very new to Analogue to Digital converting so please forgive ignorance!
I am in the UK. I have Canopus ADVC110 is giving me black and white pictures which is misaligned and shows specked picture noise. I see bottom on one frame and top of another with a black line ("frame" rebate?) running through the middle of the monitor screen in iMovie.
I have leads from my camera plugged into the front of box and firewire out of the back into MacBook Pro running iMovieHD v6.0.3.
I have set the dip switches to both PAL and NTSC just in case I got the output from my camera wrong (even tho' says Pal on it).
In iMovie I choose DV as video format and it picks 29.97 fps automatically. iMovie shows me the capture is NTSC from the Canopus box.
The Canopus website has poor support so I am at Discussions mercy!

As you're in the UK, you MUST use the 'PAL' setting, and choose a new Project in iMovie to be 'PAL' ..that's 25 frames per second.
If you do that, your import will be OK, instead of of shifted and black-&-white.
Work with Pal throughout (25fps) and you'll be OK. Set iMovie's Preferences to PAL 25fps, then Quit iMovie and restart it, to force all future Projects to be PAL 25 fps.
Do the same, too, for iDVD if you're going to use that to burn DVDs after you've edited your movies.

My dvd is coming out in black and white why?

my dvd is coming out in black and white from imovie 8 and idvd

Hi
What did You feed iMovie ? Video codec ?
How did You go from iMovie to iDVD ? Describe step by step Please.
Yours Bengt W

My burned DVD is playing in black and white only ?

When I burned my imovie using idvd the dvd will only play in black and white. I tried the DVD in two dvd players. Everything previews in color on imovie & idvd.
Did I accidentally click something or change a setting?

There are at least 2 possible scenarios here you may need to double check both.
1. You can do B&W in iMovie but apparently you say it previews fine and in full color within iDvd. Is this correct?
2. There are no loose connections or reversed cables on your camcorder or dvd player. Double check them and make sure they are all in the correct inputs (audio vs. video) and are snug and fit properly. If necessary, try all new cables or at the very least try a different set of cables.

Videos Appear Black and Jagged

I need help in playing AVI videos on Quicktime.
Ever since I upgraded to Quicktime Pro, my AVI videos have not been playing.
At first I got a white screen and audio only.
And then I installed various components but it only made it so that the screen became black with choppy colors here and there, like so:
http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/1062/picture3pn1.png
Nothing I do seems to get rid of this jagged coloring and black screen.
I tried downgrading quicktime but that didn't work either.
I tried reinstalling as well.
Please help.
Thank you in advance.

It says it's a 3ivx mpeg-4 vid?
It used to play fine on this mac but now...
I tried perian, and the preview of the video in the file columns appear fine, but the actual video is still black and jagged.
I've tried to import it into imovie and it doesn't improve.
it plays on VLC fine but... I need to make edits in imovie...

Certain pics showing as black on IMOVIE

I'm working on a project on iMovie and certain photos are just black and don't seem to be transferring properly. Do i have to change the type of file it its. These photos were taken with a professional camera and they are black on the iMovie. The rest of the pictures were taken by the iphone and are fine on the project.

darkbeanies wrote:So, is the solution to just uncomment the relevant locale in /etc/locale.gen then run locale-gen as root? What if I just uncomment ALL of the locales, is that a, uh, "good idea"?
I tried uncommenting a few relevent locales and doing that but it made no difference. It seems like bangarang is the only program doing this to me though, if i looked at the tags in dolphin they were fine and umlauts ect.. show.
