How do I put still images inside a video narration?

I'm trying to make my first imovie and I can't find an answer to this anywhere (I've looked on youtube, read books, etc)
I have
-a video of myself talking with my face on it.
-images of things I'm talking about.
I'd like to create a movie that has
1) 10 seconds of me talking on video and then
2) 10 seconds of  photos
1) 10 seconds of me talking on video again
2) 10 seconds of  photos
* I don't want to lose the audio from the original video throughout the whole presentation.  The audio (from the video of my head) should still play even though I'm inserting images onto the screen.
In other words I'd like to cut into the video (of me talking) and show images -- but I also want to go back to my face on screen ever 10 seconds or so.
If you could give me an overall 3rd grade strategy on how to set this up, I would be very grateful.

Hi Kate,
This is easily done in iMovie and is known as a cutaway. So, use iMovie's Cutaway feature as explained in the following iMovie Help topic:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a6244a6
TIP: Be sure to enable Advanced Tools in the menu item "iMovie Preferences" as explained in the topic.

  • Animation. How do I import still images in final cut pro x (from dragon frame) duration 3 frames pr. image?

    Animation. How do I import still images in final cut pro x (from dragon frame) duration 3 frames pr. image? We have allready tried to set stillimages duration in preferences to 0,08 sek, but it does not have any effect!

    You can drag your images to the timeline, select all, ctrl-d and set the duration to 3 frames by typing 3 and enter.
    Or you can use Quicktime 7 to "open image sequence", select the desired duration, export your animation to quicktime and import that into FCP X for further editing.

    How can I take a still image from a video?

    I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX.  It's kinda hidden in the "share."  Go File/Share/Add Destination.  You want "Save Current Frame."  After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

  • How can I put another image without its associated sound on an audio (without its image) ?

    IMovie 11 : how can I put one image without its associated sound on an audio (without its image) ? thanks

    Hi
    As iMovie doesn't orient after Time - but only after Video/Photo clips is this not so easy to do.
    I use black photos as Dummy clips - and put them into a new project first
    then I add the Music I want
    Then I drop the Video-clip (that I realy want) ontop of the black dummy photo - Where it's supposed to be - THEN IF advanced tools are selected (in iMovie preferences) there will be a Drop-Down menu and here I can select to do a Cutaway - and select not to add the audio from it (or in wave-form just silence it out)

  • How do I put an image on my podcast in the itunes store?

    How do I put an image on my podcast in the itunes store?

    The image which appears in the Store page is referenced in the 'itunes:image' tag in the feed. As you are probably using a program or an online service to create your podcast, rather than hand-writing the feed, you will need to look in their Help to find out where you input the image or the reference to it.

  • How can I put an image onto a postcard format?

    How can I put an image onto a postcard format?

    By postcard format do you mean crop the picture into a postcard shape?
    If so, here is one way: Activate the Rectangular Marque tool. Set Style to Fixed Aspect Ratio, and enter the dimensions for Width & Height. In this example I used a standard postcard size of 6" x 4.25".  Open your picture, draw out the rectangle, and Image > Crop. The picture will now be in the 6 x 4.25 proportion.
    To get it to the actual 6" x 4.25" size, do Image > Resize > Image Size. Check the Constrain Proportions Box, and enter either the true Width or Height; the other dimension will change accordingly.
    If this is not what you are trying to do, please be more specific.

    Go to File>new>blank file. Enter the dimensions, background color to suit. For resolution, it's best to have the same value as that of the image. For printing, it is desirable to have the resolution in the 240-300px/in range, although I have printed below this range.
    Open the file with the painting. Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, and select the image.
    Go to Edit>copy
    Open the blank file
    Go to Edit>paste. The selection will come in on its own layer
    Use the move tool to position, and, to resize (if necessary) with the corner handles of the bounding box.

  • How I can put an image like a intro for a gallery?

    I see a books with an image like a intro for a gallery or for a widget, example, in an page there is a imagen, I tap in the image and an gallery opens, how I can make this in my book? How I can put an image and when I tap in the image a gallery opens or a widget opens?

    Hello Apple 4r1
    You could do this in Keynote I am sure.
    Create a simple two page Keynote document.
    The first slide will have the "INTRO Image" once press this slide can then automatically open up the second slide with a transition automatically.The second slide can hold all the images on the one page and just play over time each image for a set amount of time each before end of time.
    I hope that helps some what.
    Another great little piece of software that builds widgets that can be used within iBooks Author is Hype from the app store.

  • How to place a still image for Flash Player for a website

    Hello,
    I have CS3 suite and am using Dreamweaver and Flash for a new project.  I am working on a website and would like to have small flash movies on several different pages.  I would like to know how to get a still image in flash player before the user clicks the movie so that they will not see a black box on the pages before and after they click the movie.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hi, You can go to this test site to see if you have Flash Player Installed on your 10.6.5 Mac.
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Then this link has info on how to Uninstall Flash Player (if needed) and Install the latest version. It is a step by step.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html  
    After reading that info and you just need to Install, then this link would be easier:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    Flash Player is a browser plugin and as long as your browser is supported by Adobe Flash Player, then you shouldn't have any problem.
    Hope that helps,

    QuickTime Player is not itself able to do this. You need a proper DVD authoring solution such as Apple's iDVD.

  • How do I put an image in a spry tabbed panels tab

    Hello All,
    I am currently working on a site with Spry Tabbed Panels.
    One thing I'm not sure how to do is to put an image in each of the selecting tabs. I've done it before and I've forgot. I also have a site with an example of what I would like to do.
    http://emilymagnuson.com
    The tabs on this site were created with images inside of them. And I would like to know how to do it. I would like to make it work so the image changes when you click, hover, and deselect.
    Thank you.

    To put an image in the foreground, add it to your HTML code:
    <li class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="0">
    <div style="margin-top:9px;"><img src="your_image_here.jpg">Contact</div>
    </li>

  • How do you position an image inside a photo box?

    I'm trying to create a 20 page 16x8 book and I cannot figure out how, after putting a photo box on the page, and dropping an image into it, how do I move the image around inside of it. For instance if I create a square photo box, how do I position a 3:2 image inside of it?

    Double click it.
