How do I keep photos vertical in iMovie?

I am trying to make a movie in iMovie that combines photos with video.  The photos are vertical head shots, and right now the foreheads and chins all get chopped off.  I know it wants to change it to the proportions of a tv screen, but I need to keep the whole photo.  Can anyone tell me how to get this right?
Thanks!

I've gotten used to keep that in mind when I take the photo - it is much easier doing it there (check your camera settings/options for image size).  If you open one in Preview, and then go to drop down Tools, can you choose adjust size? If so, click on that and choose a smaller size. As you will see, both the height and width will get smaller.
You have to keep in mind that everything has size limitations depending on the settings as well as your machine/camera capabilities. Cameras usually let you decide the size you can shoot your pics in; if they are too long, you can either cut off the person at the waist or make the whole thing smaller - but that has to be done in an image editor.

  • HT4236 How do you keep photos in the same sequence on the iPhone that they are on the PC folder?

    How do you keep photos in the same sequence in the iPhone as they are in the folder on the PC??

    When I sync my photos they are listed alphabetically (by folder) and within the folders, listed alphabetically again by the name assigned to the photo. The only way I can think of to keep the order that you have in your computer would be to assign a letter as a prefix to each photo. If you have more than 26 photos in a folder, you can double the letters, etc. I think that will keep the photos in the order you want.

    How can I keep photos on iPod Touch from looking like color negatives?

    You don't have to keep your photos in iPhoto to sync to your iPod according to Apple's website which states you can sync from folders in other locations:
    "Syncing Photos from a Mac
    To sync photos from iPhoto or a folder on your Mac:
    1. Connect your iPod to your computer and open iTunes.
    2. Select your iPod in the DEVICES section of the iTunes Source list.
    3. In the main iTunes browser window, select the Photos tab.
    4. Select the checkbox labeled "Sync photos from" and then choose either iPhoto, Aperture, Choose Folder, or Pictures, from the menu.
    * If you choose iPhoto, select "All photos and albums" to copy all of your photos in iPhoto, or "Selected albums only" and select individual rolls or albums you want to include.
    * If you choose Choose Folder, navigate to and select the folder of photos you want, then click Choose. Select "All photos" to copy all photos in the folder, or choose "Selected folders" to sync particular subfolders.
    * If you choose Pictures, choose "All photos" to copy all photos in the folder, or choose "Selected folders" to sync particular subfolders.
    5. If you want iTunes to also include the full-resolution versions of your photos, select the "Include full-resolution photos" checkbox. To access full-size photo files, be sure to enable your iPod for disk use.)
    6. Once you have decided which photos you'd like to sync, click Apply."
    Hope this helps!

  • How do you make photos vertical in iPhoto calendar?

    When making a calendar in iPhoto, and you choose 6 or 7 photos to be displayed on that month, how do you make the 4 little photos vertical?

    You can't change the frame.  But you can Control-click on the photos and select Fit Photo to Frame Size and it will reduce the size of the photo so the entire portrait photo will display in the frame.  The excess background will be the same color of the page's background.

  • How do I keep photos in a particular order when burning to disc?

    I made an Album in iPhoto5 of 200 photos from a recent trip. The photos in the Album don't follow the sequence I shot them. I want the photos to stay in the new order I've given them, and I'd like to include titles to help explain many of the pictures. When I put the photos into a folder in Finder to burn them, they go out of order. Can I asign sequential numbers to this Album and still retain the titles? How do I keep them in order??? Thanks

    Hi Tom,
    You should be able to make a slidshow almost as easy as what you're trying to do right now... it'll take some pratice
    Personally, I have both exported a slideshow from iPhoto to iDVD and also created a slideshow directly in iDVD, the latter is a better fit for what you're doing.
    Open iDVD, create new project, name as you like and save, will auto open to work window, click on 'customize', pick a theme you like. Now click on 'Map' and in the customize pane click on 'Media'. In the media pane you have itunes, photos and movie, select photos... you're iPhoto library will appear along with all the albums you might have created and organized. Here's what makes it sweet, you can drag each album into the 'Map' Theme icon and it will automatically import and turn into a slideshow and take on the name of the album... to see your progess hit the Preview button... you'll have to do a little learning and tweaking, you can add music etc., but that's it, you made a slide show ready to burn to a dvd...
    My suggestions would be to organize albums as you like, named appropriately and just have fun with it. You can save and go back and edit at a later date. Use the highlight and delete or cut options to remove etc etc etc...
    You can burn project using the File > Burn DVD option or you can save the FINAL production use the File > Save As Disk Image option, and you can burn the DVD through disk utility which will give you more options on burn speed and buring at 1x speed may yield the best results...

  • In Aperature, how do you keep photos in the order you changed them to while editing? When you go to burn them to a disk, the order changes from what you see on the screen.

    I need to know how to save my photos to a disk for a client in the order I changed them while working on them. I photographed a party with another photographer and joined both photographers photos. Now I want to keep them in the order the event took place and how I rearranged them.

    The exported photos will show on the disk like any sequence of files, sorted by date, name, filetype, etc. To help your client to sort them according to your sequence, rename the files and append a sequence number. You can rename them on export by using an export preset, for example the name format "Custom name with index". That will append a number to the filename, according to the position in the album you are exporting.

  • How do I keep photos from transferring from iPhoto to my iPhone 5?

    I don't have my iTunes set up to sync photos to my phone yet I have folders on my phone from iPhoto with pictures that I uploaded and deleted from my phone a long time ago. How do I delete the folder from my phone and how do I keep it from happening again?

    Connect your phone to your Mac, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, select Sync Photos from and select the source (such as iPhoto), then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.

  • How to create a photo slideshow in imovie 11

    describe how to create a 200 photo slideshow from the start using imovie 11 with titles, transitions and music and then burn it to a dvd

    iMovie is to edit movies; creating a slideshow is easier in iPhoto. When finished, you can then move it to iMovie or iDVD to create a cool menu/theme and burn it.
    Here is a link to Apple support - I searched for "how to create a slideshow in iPhoto":

  • How do I keep photos in an album, but not on the camera roll

    I want to remove the photos on my camera roll, but keep them in the albums. Usually people will go through my camera roll, but wont check the albums.... How can I do this, I still want them on my phone.

    You can copy the photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then when you sync, in iTunes go to the Photos tab at the top and select the folder where you have them on your computer and they will sync back to your phone.

  • How Can I Keep Photo Data When Adding Photo To New Book?

    All of my photos in IPhoto have dates and descriptions as part of the file names. When I transfer then to make a book, all of this data goes away. Is there any way I can keep this data as a description of the photo.

    Where are you transferring the file to and how? As long as you use iPhoto the title and description remain associated with the photos. Are you referring to the title and having the title show on the book's page along with the photo? There is just one theme that displays the title: Folio
    The only way to get the description to display is to change the title to what you put in the Information/Description field. That can be done automatically with the Applescript described in my post here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5400478&#5400478

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • How do I add photos to my imovie project?

    When I add photos between video clips they stay there, but when I press play, a still frame from either the video clip before or after is shown in the pictures place.  Can someone please direct me as to how I may fix this so that I may see the actual photos I add when I press play?

    I've read about this issues in many threads - unfortunately, I haven't followed them, what's the solution of that. I know, the older versions of iMovie (08,09,11) had a very … 'special' way of storaging stills in projects - my assumption was, that too much of 'heavy trial'n error'-editing could confuse this system.
    … Haven't checked, how actual iM-X is handling it.
    My first attempt would be:
    When you EXPORT this project - is the photo in, or not?

  • How do I keep photos is a specific order when you burn to disc

    I have placed forty pics in a folder, and arranaged them in a specific order for a client. When I burn them to a CD, they return to numeric order, based on the number assigned by my camera. Is there any way to have the pics remain in the order I wish them to be?
    Flip

    I'm not sure how you did the burn but one way to have control would be to drag the photos to a desktop folder, arrange them in that folder the way you want them, select the folder and burn it to CD - or DVD. I believe that that will work
    Another way, I believe would be to rename the photos so that when they sort they come into the order you want (photo #1, Photo #2 etc)
