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
Derek

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

    It depends on the type of video. iMovie will only import video that it can edit.
    In general, you would use FILE/IMPORT MOVIE...

    zoom into a certain part of the video. Is there any way to do this???

    Yes.
    If you want to see the zoom, use the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool and select the Ken Burns effect. You can set the starting and ending rectangle for your zoom.
    If you want to go directly to the zoom, use the Rotate, Crop, KenBurns Tool and select Crop. Set the rectangle to be where you want the zoom.

    How do I upload a video from my iPhone 4s to iMovie? Does it work with iCloud? I tried sending it from my phone to my email but it said the video was too large.

    SkipWeisman wrote:
    ... I want to host the video solely on my website with its own video player (stop, play, pause buttons, etc.).
    So, my question is how do I do that, what type of software, video player or html code, etc. do I need to have to make that happen.
    that is +a little+ beyond my skills, allthough I did that in the very beginnings of some of my websites a few hundred years ago And it is a little beyond the topic of this board..
    to offer at last a few remarks:
    • video files are huge.. check your contract, how much webspace your provider offers you.. (1 GB as a start)
    • due to size, your guests will generate lots of traffic/bandwidth.. check your contract, how much traffic your provider allows you.. (a few GBs per months)
    • the usual dilemma - what codec? YouTube made flv popular (=compatible with 99% of computers, 0% compatible with smart-phones and iPads..); actually, we're (and YT..) in transition to html5, which allows the more lean and 'better' h264 codec.. but do your guests use 'modern' browsers as Safari/FF/GC...? Do you have to offer a 'switch', flv/new? ...
    • you have to upload your encoded files to your web-host, add some lines of code which generates a 'player'-experience (= tons of advice and free downloads around the net...); 'link' the code to your site-folders containing the videos - done.
    • webspace and traffic
    • decision to encode in what ..
    • encoding video, probably wth some 3rd party encoder
    • some 'website generator software' which allows manual coding for embedding your 'player'-code
    => now you see, HOW convenient iWeb is...
    .. which, by the way, supports upload/FTP to 'foreign'/non-MobileMe websites..
    perhaps you should try this very Mac-like way as a start..

  • I have downloaded video to iPhotos but how do you get the video to iMovies

    I have downloaded video to iPhotos but how do you get the video to iMovies

    In iMovie look in the Event Library. You should see an Event named "iPhoto Videos" (assuming the videos are compatible with iMovie).
    Each time you open iMovie it will look for any new videos in iPhoto and place thumbnails in the iPhoto Videos Event. You will be given a choice as to whether you want the thumbnails generated now or later. The thumbnails will appear in chronological (date) order in the Event window. Note that the clips themselves are not actually imported to iMovie - they are simply referenced by iMovie (that is, iMovie points to the clips in iPhoto).
    Drag clips (or parts of clips) to a project. To start a new project, select File > New Project from iMovie's menu.
    Please ask if you need more advice. Otherwise, click on Help > iMovie Help in the menu. There you will find plenty of good information about how to use iMovie, including short video tutorials.

  • How do i resize my video in photoshop ess 13

    can anyone help please need to know how to resize my videos for sending in an e-mail  thanks

    In the menu, under Image is a choice to Resize.  But that is not what you want to do because it changes the "dimensions" of the image.
    Instead, you want to File > Save As, pick JPEG and there will be a choice for "Quality" with a slider.  You may have to try it a couple times to see if you are getting an appropriate file size for your email system.

    Why not ask your questions in the iMovie forums?  It's where the iMovie users hang out at.

  • How to you import youtube videos into iMovie 13?

    I want to take a youtube video that a friend of mine put on youtube and import this into imovie 13 to edit it.  I do not have any of the original video that my friend shot...just the video found on youtube.  Thanks.

    Attach your iPhone to USB for syncing.
    iPhoto should automatically start.
    Import your photos and videos into iPhoto.
    Open iMovie. Navigate to the iPhoto Event in the Events list.
    You can edit from there.
    (When you open iMovie, it may ask to create thumbnails for iPhoto videos. Say yes and let it run.)

  • How do create a music video with iMovies 09

    Dear Apple iMovie Form Participants,
    I'd like to use iMovie to create a music video. My son and I already recorded him playing drums and singing, and me playing bass and singing into an Event in iMovies. I have saved all the video clips from this session in iMovie. I also exported the audio, so that I can import it into GarageBand, and then start Play on GarageBand, which will play through the monitor speakers in the studio, so that if I have iMovie set up beforehand, my son and I can film ourselves playing guitar and electric violin in synchronization with the drum and bass tracks that we recorded before. We would then end up with video clips that show us playing guitar and violin accompanied by the sounds of drums and bass. How do we then use the Project editor to show clips of the drum and bass + vocals playing in synchronization with the music, alternating with the clips of guitar and violin?
    You could post your reply also to my regular email, which is [email protected]

    Your best bet:
    Finish the entire audio recording in garage band first. Give yourself a click to start off. You can record the video lip-sync with your instruments later. Burn it to a cd and play it from a cd player so your computer can be dedicated to recording the video.
    Imovie 09 does not have true multi-camera editing capabilities like Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro, but you can get it done with a little extra patience.
    Decide which video will be the main one. Shoot that one first. Put it into your project. Bring your audio from garage band back in and sync it.
    Record your second, third, and fourth video shots...
    Go to the iMovie>menu>preferences>general and make sure "show advanced tools is checked.
    You will be using the cuttaway to put sections of your second video ontop of the main one. With your first video already in your project window, drag a few seconds of the second on top of it. A black menu will appear and select "cuttaway". It will essentially paste your second video on top of the first. Sync it by dragging back and forth. Unfortunately, with iMovie, you have to sync it by hand each time you paste a cuttaway video on top of the main one. The main one sync stays fine.
    You can also choose "picture in picture" and see both videos at once.
    Repeat with the third, fourth, or whatever video.
    Practice so you understand the editing workflow before you spend all day trying to record your actual video. It takes someone who is patient and clever, but it will work!
    Here is an example, I couldn't sync the close up shots at all (they were from a different piece), but most people can't tell. The camera panning is all done by using the "ken burns effect":

  • 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 can I retrieve original videos from a TV DVD made in Adobe PE?

    I imported the TV-formatted DVD, that I made, into Premiere Elements 11, but it is just one big file with the soundtrack not separated from the original video soundtrack, and the video files all merged together. Is there any way to separate them? Norman

    Norman,
    I was afraid of that. Once the two original Audio Streams have been mixed-down, they become one - the camera's Audio + the Soundtrack Audio.
    Now, about the closest that one can get, would be to use something like a Karaoke Effect, in an Audio editor. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq_i18n?s=editing&i=remove-vocals
    This would remove some of the vocals, from the camera's Audio. Then one could shift the Phase of the Karaoke Audio Track, by 180 degrees, to try and mute the Soundtrack Audio, in the original file. This is a real touch-n-go operation, and might have but a small effect on that mixed Audio file, that you now have. With a bit of Gating, and Filtering, plus some extensive EQ work (available in many Audio editing programs, and with VST plug-ins), one might be able to get close to what you want. It will not be easy, and will require a lot of hand-work, plus critical listening.
    It would probably be better to go to that original camera Audio, Import that, then cut it up to match the edits originally performed in the Project. Then, one would add a new Soundtrack Audio. Finally, the ripped, mixed Audio (with the original camera Audio and the original Soundtrack Audio) would be Muted, or Deleted from the new Project. One would have to do a lot of editing to that original camera Audio, and syncing could take some time, with trial and error, but the result would likely be better, than trying to separate the mixed-down camera Audio and Soundtrack Audio.
    Good luck, and sorry for the bad news.
