How to Import a jpg photo into FCPx and keep 16:9 aspect ratio?

Hi,
I'm trying to import a normal .jpg photo into my project but I can't get it to have the 16:9 ratio like the rest of my movie.
How do I do this?
Thanks for the help!

quote pgs 337, 338, Chapter 11 of the Manual:
1 Add a clip to the Timeline with a frame size that doesn’t match the current project’s frame size (resolution) settings.
2 Select the clip in the Timeline.
3 To open the Video inspector, click the Inspector button in the toolbar (shown below),
and click the Video button at the top of the pane that appears.
4 Choose a method of conforming frame size from the Type pop-up menu in the Spatial Conform section of the Video inspector.
• Fit: The default setting. Fits the clip within the project’s frame size setting without cropping the clip’s video. Black bars appear on the sides of the frames that don’t match the project’s frame size (resolution). In the case of a standard-definition (SD) clip in a high-definition (HD) project, Final Cut Pro scales up the SD clip to fit the HD project’s frame size. In the case of an HD clip in an SD project, Final Cut Pro scales down the HD clip to fit the SD project’s frame size.
• Fill: Makes the clip’s video fill the project’s frame size. In the case of an SD clip in an HD project, Final Cut Pro scales up the SD clip to fit the HD project’s frame size. Cropping occurs along the clip’s longer dimension to allow the shorter dimension to fill the screen. In the case of an HD clip in an SD project, Final Cut Pro scales down the HD clip to fit the SD project’s frame size. Cropping occurs along the clip’s shorter dimension to allow the longer dimension to fill the screen.
• None: Leaves the clip’s frame size unchanged. If the clip’s frame size is larger than the the project’s frame size, the clip appears cropped. If the clip’s frame size is smaller than the project’s frame size, black bars surround the clip.

    Here is the How to import in itunes 11. Including the Join tracks option.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12278
    Also if you have imported them then  this article gives a good understanding of how to tag these songs
    http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/audiobooks.asp
    the other option would be to use an App like Audiobook Builder to stitch the tracks together in upto 12 hour long sections and sends to itunes automatically. It is available in the App Store. There are others available, Audiobook binder is free

  • I have imported a jpeg photo into iPhoto and cannot get the Places map to let me fix a position on the map. It remains disabled for my photo. Checking out the Help file has not given any solution.

    I have imported a jpeg photo into iPhoto  and cannot get the Places map tp show. I have tried the Help file and the information was not helpful. Can anyone give advice here?

    I am using iPhoto 9.1.1. When I select thephoto, then Places I get the window (Places to lookup disabled). When I hit theInfo button I get the size an JPEG notification, and  Faces and Key words. The “reverse” of thepicture shows a window with Rotate, Hide, Trash etc.
    When I select Places, get the Google worldmap, and this case a pin on Sydney Australia showing that eighteen photos arecorrectly placed. I am unable to make the connection to San Francisco wherethis particular photo was taken on a very modern camera.

  • How to import Hasselblad fff files into Lightroom 5 keeping 16bit?

    I have a problem importing Hasselblad fff files into Lightroom 5. I have seen articles that I should change them into DNG by Phocus.
    When a photo is converted into DNG file it seems that it becomes 8 bit when I open in photoshop. Since I am shooting with RAW, I'D like to keep it
    in 16 bit. Am I making sense? Or I am missing some information regarding DNG and 8bit business?
    Please teach me the best way.

    If opening directly from LR into Photoshop check your pref settings.
    Edit >> Preferences >> External Editing (Lightroom >> Preferences >> External Editing on Mac OSX)
    The usual choice is to render a 16 bit tiff or PSD file. Make sure it’s not incorrectly set to 8 bit.

  • How to import a web service into labview and make the assembly strong named signed?

    I have used the web services tool to import my .net project files. I am then putting them into clearcase. In order for my dll's to work on a network im getting the error that they need to strong named signed. Is there anyway of strong name signing them with in the web services tool, or modifying the dll's after they've been created? Thanks for any help!

    dbell0971,
    I appreciate your willilngness to help on this issue.  However, it doesn't seem like we are on the same page here.
    When you import a webservice it creates an assembly.  That assembly is .NET.  In general you cannot run an assembly on a shared drive unless it is "trusted".  You can make the assembly trusted by adding some classes and properties to it (i.e. strong signing it)- http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xc31ft41.a​spx
    However, since WE are not creating the assembly, LabVIEW is, then we don't have the source code so we can't just strong sign it. 
    The question is simple- Can the Import Web Service Utility strong sign the assembly it creates?
    Thanks,

  • How do I resize a photo in iphoto and keep it in iphoto library

    So in windows I can resize a photo and leave it where it is.  Why can't I do this in iphoto?

    So in windows I can resize a photo and leave it where it is.  Why can't I do this in iphoto?
    iPhoto - either on your Mac or on IOS devices, is designed as an application with a lossless workflow. All adjustments and edits are guaranteed to be reversible. You will always be able to revert to the original  image. And that would be impossible, if iPhoto allowed you to clandestinely exchange the image file in the place where the photo is stored. iPhoto would not know how to undo the changes you did without using iPhoto to do them. If you do not need a digigal assets management program with a lossless workflow, don't use iPhoto - then you'd be better off with something like Picasa.

  • How to 'Paste' a Word doc into InDesign and keep all of the settings?

    I've set up styles in the Word doc, that I was hoping would transfer into InDesign, once pasted. The Word doc is very large, and has hundreds of jpegs placed within it. My issue is that once it is pasted, the images are overlapping the text above it, as well as others.
    How would I rectify this? ...Is this a Word settings problem, or a transferring/'pasting' problem?

    BigEnd wrote:
    When pasted from Word, the graphics are Inline by default.  You can correct each one by selecting the graphic and then Anchored Object, Options and selecting Above Line (centered etc).  What I do then is create an object style to these specs and this makes it quicker to apply to the graphics.
    You say that there are very many graphics in the doc - does anyone know how to make the above settings the default when graphics are pasted from Word?
    M
    Thank you M, but I believe I figured it out:
    I made styles in Word to make things a bit simpler when changing large sections of text, so within the settings of the images style select Format>Paragraph>Line and Page Breaks. Under 'Textbox Options' the Tight wrap defaults to 'None' - Select 'All'.
    When the file is placed into InDesign, the images don't overlap, and are exactly where they need to be.

  • I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this?

    I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.

    The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
    The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
    Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
    This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.

  • I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages?  How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this?  Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

    I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages?  How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this?  Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

    You can make the collages easily if you have iWork.  Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary.  Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto.  From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround. 
    If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

  • How do I move a photo into an album in the new Photos application?

    How do I move a photo into an album in the new Photos application?

    The simplest way is to show the Sidebar at all times - you can reveal it with options-command-S  ⌥⌘S.
    With the sidebar visible, you can simply drag the photos from the Moments or other albums to the album in the sidebar. You can select and drag multiple photos at a time by selecting the first photo, holding down the shift key and selecting more photos.  If the album does not yet exist, select the photos and press ⌘N for "File > New album" to create a new album with the selected photos.

  • How to import a PDF form into FormsCentral

    Hi,
    Please help me in How to  import a PDF form into FormsCentral.
    Thanks,
    Techvedic

    Hi Techvedic,
    Import of form in Formscentral depends on how it was created. If you used LiveCycle designer to create the original form then it cannot be imported. However, if the form is created in Acrobat then you can import it by clicking on Import PDF form under Create New form heading.
    Note: In the imported form you may edit the position of the submit button, but other design edits to the imported form will need to be made in the tool used to create that form.
    Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other question.
