How do i resize a picture in iMovie?

Hi there,
PLEASE HELP ME! I've imported some still images/pictures into my iMovie Project.  I'm using the latest version of iMovie and the latest OS.
However, iMovie (as a default) takes the image and makes it fill the screen and I can't find a way of resizing the image so that it only fills part of the screen.
Does anybody out there have a similar issue and found a way to do it?
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Andrew

You need to find yourself an old version of Imovie 6
but it has to be iMovie 6.04 nothing less nothing more.( available to work on intel PC's
It still works in lion and mountain lion as I have a brand new mac mini infront of me and it works on it.
Apple stock is down, why?  they are becoming PC stupid.
I have been creating celebration of Life DVDs for 14 years and iMovie 6 HD  is  the best app ever invented.
It has it's quirks but once yu figure them out you are running free.
I have macpros, macbooks macminis powerpc's, intel this and intel that.
I refuse to captialize any of the words as macIntosh and apple are doing plenty of that right Now.
Capitalize your pocketbook
is what i am talking about
there is a  company named geethree that created hundreds of plugins for iMovie 6 HD
They are absolutely fantastic.
They do more than you could ever imagine aprogram could do.
I am totally amazed at apples could care less attitude.
They once had the best computer out there I have been using both Windwoes and macs for 18+years
Put me in charge and they would be worth 900 dllars a share instead of 459.00 or whatever they dropped to.
I am done, almost.
I sure hope Dell decides to do something special like Steve Jobs did

  • How do I insert a picture into iMovie regardless of aspect ratio

    When I insert a picture, i either have the choice of cropping the picture or having black bars on the sides. How can I insert a picture into imovie and not be dictated based on the aspect ratio. thanks

    nope, never.

    example #1: a 1:1 pic in a 16:9 screen
    option A bars l/r
    option B cat-off
    example #2: a wiiiide screen pic in a 16:9 screen
    option A bars t/b
    option B catcut off
    and you don't want kitty look like that:

  • How do I resize a picture in iPhoto to 1000 pixels?

    How do I resize a picture in my iPhoto library to 100 pixels?

    You do this on export from iPhoto.
    File -> export and note the Size option. You can decide the pixel dimensions there.

    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

  • How do I correct blurry pictures in iMovie? They are clear when I pause the video but blurry when playing the video.

    How do I correct blurry pictures in iMovie? They are clear when I pause the video but blurry when playing the video.

    Try sharing and see if the effect is still present when you play the shared movie.  It can happen when playing within iMovie if there are insufficient resources to play a full resolution.

  • How do I resize vertical photos for iMovie?

    The online support says "constrain to HD" but when I do that, it just cuts off the top and bottom of photo - how do I resize it to keep the whole photo, just "shrink" it?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Double-click on the photo in the iMovie project to open its settings, and check if Ken Burns is selected. Turn it off and make sure the size slider is set all the way to the left. iMovie should display the entire photo with black bars at the sides.
    Regards.

  • How do I resize a picture on my ipod 4g before emailing it?

    The manual says it asks you if you want to resize the picture when you go to email it, but mine's not giving me that option? Help!

    I noticed that too. Everyone I've talked to that has the Itouch all say that when they go to email a picture, it asks them if they want to resize it, but mine doesn't. I've looked in all the control settings on mine and can't find anything related to resizing before sending. So I didn't know why mine wasn't working and asking me.

  • How do you resize the Picture Gallery Widget? (below 279 pt)

    The Picture Gallery widget works very nicely on a book, but it's way too big for my book design. I want a smaller image in the corner of the book. Something you tap on to open the picture gallery.
    I can get rid of the title, the caption and the background and shrink the widget a bit, but then you go to the "metrics" section in the Inspector, and the widget will not go below a certain width or height (a potential disaster for the overall design of your book).
    Bookry's widgets will not cut it either. What is the option then? Do I need to hand-code my own picture gallery widget? Good Lord..

    The arrows don't show up on the iPad, they are only to aid navigation within iBA. You can use boxes in the background to frame your galleries (as the background is off). I believe it's also possible to change the colour of the dots beneath the gallery too, although I forget how to do that right now.
    About Apple's rigid UX – I agree that it can be frustrating. Apple intended iBA to be used by everyone, and the sort of design options and customisability we might want may confuse the less experienced user. Apple also wanted the UI for every book to be the same – from the point of view of the new user, once you've used one iBA ebook (or iBook, I'm not sure what Apple want us to call it), you can use them all. Otherwise end users would to get used to a slightly different UI on each book, which kind of works against the idea that ideally UI should be intuitive enough to be invisible. I can see the point in that. I have created a 'How to use' section in every iBA file I've made. It get's old quickly.
    Oh, and (you probably know this, but…) you can choose your own custom icon for audio. It's limited, as it's only a placeholder image that allows you to play an audio file, there's no ability to pause the audio or stop it once you choose the view as thumbnail choice. Something I'd like to see changed.
    Here's a link to Apple feedback page for iBA. Feel free to hammer it with your suggestions.

  • How do I resize original video in iMovie

    Hi, I have a large library of video in a number of events. The previous version of iMovie (9) had an option to resize this video from it's original size (1080p) to 'Large' 960p. As I wanted to get some space back and was quite happy to have this video at a smaller size I was about to start the process when I updated to iMovie 10.
    But I cannot find the same option in the new version of iMovie.
    Is it hidden somewhere or do I have to use another program to do the work?
    Other factors include can I just resize the original source files now that they are in new iMovie Libraries?
    I also remember that the older version used a format (Apple codec) for the source material that consumed more disk space, but made it faster and easer to scrub through the footage in iMovie. Which format should I use for the resized video?
    Thanks

  • How do I add more pictures using iMovie themes

    I'm having trouble adding more pic's to the theme I selected on imovie. Is there a way to add more pic's? or is this the extent of using the theme's?

    Hi
    You can add photos to it - But they didn't make it easy at all.
    • You first collect photos in a new iMovie Project
    • Export out "Share to QuickTime" and as a QuickTime movie
    • Import this movie into Events
    • This Event can be used in a Project and Themes.
    Some things never got any better. Wonder Why ?

  • How to resize a picture to letterhead sized

    How do i resize a picture to letter head size in cs4?

    Image>Image size.
    Then in the image size dialog box type in the document size.
    The quality of the print will be dependant of the original pixel dimentions. The lower the pixel dimentions are the lower the quality will be when resizing. It is prefered to have the original image be larger than the final print size when you first open the image. But upscaling can work and has but only if there is enough detail that will be satisfactory to you after you scale the image.

  • How resize a picture?

    How can I resize a picture? All my pictures have more than 1.8MB and I want to resize some of them to a smaller size (200KB or less).

    Jose Frank:
    You can resize the pictures via the Export process. In the File->Export->File Export menu option there is a section to set the pixel dimensions to a given size and quality level (jpeg compression). The exported file will be reduced in size considerably.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.
