How do I put a title over a photo?

I've seen a lot of posts about putting a title over a video clip, but what I want to do is put a title over a photo. I am able to insert titles just fine and same thing with just photos, but I can't seem to combine them. When I try to drag one on top of the other, it moves to the left or right and creates two seperate things. I have made sure that the length and duration of each is the same and also that I leave the "Over Black" box unchecked. Any suggestions?

What do you mean by it 'creates two separate things'? In iMovie 5, I don't think there was an 'add' button. You have to drag the title 'T' box down to the photo in the timeline. IF you are having problems wiht this, try deleting the iMovie plist and the reopen iMovie and try again. (The plist is in YourUserName->Library->Preferences->com.apple.iMovieplist. Trash that and relaunch iMovie.
Post back if that does not help.

  • Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo?

    Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo? It use to work but it no longer lets you place a title over the opening photo.

    Is your signature still current?(iPhoto '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4))    I can confirm this for iPhoto '11; Shatter will only show the text slide title between the slides. Ken Burns and Classic theme can still be set to overlay the caption and title directly over the slides.

  • How do I center a title over selected columns?

    I was a heavy Excel user and am very confused by Numbers.  If I have five columns and I want a title over those five columns, how do I center a title over just those five columns?

    Hi Laura,
    Following on from quinn's  advice:
    Some people are tempted to merge cells in similar situations. Don't do it! Numbers finds mysterious ways to complain about them.
    Instead of merging cells, try a text box on top of your table. Set the Fill colour to match the row, and set Border to No Border:

  • How do you  add a Title to a Photo that never had a Title

    I have a foto with no title shown in the photo. (The photo is a photo in an Event. The Event has a name.) I would like to put a title in the photo. The instructions (I-Photo Help) do not seem to explain this. It shows how to change the title, or how to change a title in the information page. But now how to put a title directly onto a photo that has never had a title. I have the latest versions of IPhoto and of Mac OS X.

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - it does not have the ability to add text to a photo
    you can export photos and use a third party application - Preview - or click here for links to some to consider.
    You can suggest the feature to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

  • I'm trying to use iPhoto but when I put my cursor over the photo it has a small flag over the left hand corner and a downward arrow in the bottom right corner.  It won't let me pull up a photo

    I'm trying to use iphoto but when I put my cursor over a photo it has a small flag in the upper left hand corner and a downward arrow in the lower right corner.  I've used it lots but it just started doing this.  My events pull up just not a single photo.

    Try rebuilding your iPhoto Library. Here's a link:

  • How do I keep the title on the photo when I drag it from iPhoto to the desktop?

    I am uploading photos to a school yearbook website and need to title the photos. When I give the photos a title in iPhoto and then drag them to the desktop, the title changes back to the jpeg number. Is there a way to keep the title, or to change it when it is on the desktop?

    A Title is not a Filename.
    In iPhoto you add a title to the photo, this does not rename the file.
    If you export (File -> Export) you have the option to use the Title as a Filename.

  • Accent marks - How do I put a caron over a capital Z?

    Greetings, Mac people. I am currently writing my dissertation with Appleworks. I have a problem. There are some words and names in it that I cannot type correctly.
    For example, the author Louis Zabkar has a caron (like the accent on î, but upside-down) over the Z in his name. Likewise, there are some Russian articles I am including in my bibliography, the Latin transcription of which requires that caron.
    I have tried Keyboard Viewer, but none of the accents there are what I need. I have also tried Character Palette, which shows me the Z I need, complete with caron, but cannot insert it into AppleWorks. I tried putting the character in the text editor, but when I copied and pasted to AppleWorks, I got question marks.
    I am seriously considering buying Word and finishing the project with that, the formatting of headers being a serious concern, and the double-spacing on Appleworks that is too small. Topics for another post, I know.
    So, what I want to know is: can this caron problem be solved with Appleworks, or should I move on. It's a small thing, but it does matter.
    Thanks!

    Remaining OT,
    Using the Equation editor and Descent inserts the capital as an inline object, which means there'll be a single line of text to its right, with the next line dropping to a position below the capital, leaving a large white space.
    Better to place the capital into a Text frame, size the frame to as small as possible to contain the single letter, then apply Text wrap to the frame and drag it into position. This also allows you to apply a background colour or pattern to the frame and to colour the letter if you wish.
    And now, back to our regular programming...
    Barbara is right about a graphic solution to the lack of carons being fiddly, especialy in quantity. For small quantities, though, it's workable. I've used this technique to insert schwa characters (the upside-down e used to indicate the vowel sound in an unstressed syllable) in students' exercise pages. One hint here: Once you've established the Descent setting necessary (I inserted these as inline objects), copy the inserted object AND at least one preceding character to use as your object for pasting. Adding the character preserves the Descent setting so that you don't have to set it every time you use the object.

  • How do I put an image over a slideshow

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a website that includes a slideshow overwhich I want to put photos that do not rotate, as demonstrated with the Covergirl site below where we see a rotating background with non-rotating photos on top in the forefront:

  • How can we put header(title on top) in scripts

    hi
    experts
    can u help me plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
    for this

    HI
    Header Data
    You can find header data in both form and style maintenance. In style maintenance, it is used primarily to present important information – information designed to make it easier for the end user to select a style. The header data in form maintenance, on the other hand, is used for information and control purposes. For this reason, the header data of a form will be described in more detail.
    Below, the header data is described as it appears in the alphanumeric Form Painter.
    Like the header data of a style, the header data of a form comprises two parts: the data set by the system and the data you are expected to enter. The latter is dealt with separately.
    · Device-independent entries.
    · Description
    A short explanatory description of the form (also applies to the style), designed to make selection easier for the end user.
    · Form class
    You can assign a form to a class to help you organize and search for forms. The default set of classes is the set of program classes in your system.
    · Start page
    Tells the print program which page format in a form to use first for printing.
    · Default paragraph
    Paragraph set to * in standard text maintenance.
    · Tab stop
    A grid set at specified intervals in all windows defined in the form. However, you should note that the tab stops are only valid in paragraphs where you have not defined your own tabs.
    · Language, Original language, Translation applic
    Use these fields to record the master language and language of the current version of a form. Marking Translation applic makes the form accessible for translation from the SAP System’s translation tools (transaction SE63).
    · Device-dependent entries.
    You can only enter values here that are supported in the R/3 printer definition. If you make other entries, this leads to errors in the check routine.
    · Page format
    Determined from the spool administration table with transaction SPAD. Make sure there is a printer assignment – there must be an additional spool format for the printer with the same page format.
    · Orientation
    Depends on the page format selected. This can also be determined from the spool administration table. Please note that the formats landscape and portrait are not supported by all printers.
    · Lines per inch (LPI)
    Basis for converting the unit of measurement LN in style and form maintenance. The value 6.00 is set by the system, as this value is supported by all printers.
    · Characters per inch (CPI)
    Basis for converting the unit of measurement CH in style and form maintenance. The value 10.00 is set by the system, as this value is supported by all printers.
    · Font attributes
    With these fields, you can set the default font for a form. The default font applies if other objects do not specify a font. SAPscript suggests a default font, which you can change.
    Defining Header Data
    The header data of a form consist of Administration data and Basic settings.
    The Administration data include Administration information and Language attributes.
    ·     In the Administration information group, enter
    ·     Form name
    ·     Description
    ·     Development class
    ·     In the Lang. attributes (Language attributes) group, you find
    ·     Original language
    ·     Current language (language key)
    ·     Information on the translation of the form.
    ·     Status information about the current form status (active, edited, and so on).
    Before entering other header data,
    7. Define the paragraph formats of the form.
    8. Define the character formats of the form.
    9. Return to the header and complete it.
    Reward all helpfull answers
    Regards

  • How can I put 1 object in a photo in color but the rest in black and white?

    I have iPhoto '08, and I have seen many photos that have interesting effects like the one I mentioned before. I would really like to know how I can allow the main object in the photo to remain its natural color, but change the rest of the picture to black/white or sepia.

    This was created by Photoshop. But it's a little over the top for must of what we want to do. Photoshop Elements can do the same as can some of Larry's other suggestions. I've worked with PSE and it's an excellent editor with about 75% of PS's capabilities at about 1/7 the price.
    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 change the title to my photo album:(ios7)

    How do I change the name of the title for one of  my photo albums in ios 7

    When you set the podcast up in WordPress you must have entered a title; it's presumably there that you can change it, and then re-publish it, though I can't advise on WordPress.
    One caveat, though: some podcast creation services derive the feed URL from the title: I don't know whether WordPress is one of them, but if it is you shouldn't change the title because if you change your feed URL withouth redirecting iTunes to a new feed in the proper manner you will lose control of your podcast.
    The method of changing iTunes to a new feeed URL requires the old feed to be left in place with a special tag added to it (I don't know whether this is possible in Wordpress) - the method is detailed here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
    However if the feed URL is not affected by changing the title then you can just go ahead and change it.

  • How can i put a time stamp on photos

    I used to be able to set menu to time stamp photos but it seems to be gone now. Does anyone know how to put it back? I searched help topics in iPhoto and there was no help.

    There never has been such a feature for iPhoto - you probably have (or used to have) one on your camera
    In iPhoto you can see the date/time info from the camera in the info pane
