How to trim slides in iMovie?

I use iMovie to make an advanced slideshow. For some reason, I cannot trim a slide that has a 2:00 second duration to 1:50 second. It actually adjusts to 2:10. Any thoughts?

There are no plugins for iMovie 8, 9, or 11.
There are plugins available for older versions like iMovie 06.
Final Cut Pro X also has lots of plugins.

How to import slides into iMovie

I've got a PowerPoint presentation (which I will import into Keynote for the purpose of easier transfer). What I want is to bring it over to iMovie, but I want to manually set the duration each slide is shown for. I'll be adding my own sound track (it's a presentation) so each slide is to stay up for a different amount of time. So, I can't simply export the presentation as a QT movie with a fixed duration for each slide. What's the easiest way to export my presentation into iMovie so as to be able to add sound to each slide and use the length of the audio to tell it how long to leave the slide up for? Then I'll export the whole thing as a QT movie.
thanks!
Mike

It exports them at whatever size the slide is and 72 pixels per inch. So they look ok at size, but if you are going to enlarge them at all, they do lose some.
If you are really worried about quality of the pic, probably export as .pdf. Then open in Preview and save as a tiff.

How to i trim audio in imovie 11

I just separated audio from an imovie clip, and now need to slice the audio in various places and and place back into the video. HOW DO I TRIM AUDIO in imovie 11. The old imovie was easy, I can't seem to find out how. Thanks.

There are several ways to do this.
First go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure the Advanced Tools are enabled.
The simplest way would be to select the frames of video in the Event that contain your audio and drag to the project. Drop it on the approximate frame (in the project) where you want it to start. A pop-up menu will appear: choose Audio Only.

How can you make your OWN text slides on imovie

What i mean by this is, is there any other way to make text slides in imovie other than the options they already give you? I want to make my own, i'm not a fan of the ones they give

You can use Keynote and then use in imovie.
The trick is to Share from Keynote as a QuickTime movie. Use Timed Advance, not Manual Advance.
If you are using Green Screen, make a gradient background of two similar shades of green.
Here is a "green screen" example.
Here is a Picture in Picture example

How do you make an iMovie HD movie full screen in Keynote presentation?

Hey everybody, and Happy Holidays!
I have a presentation tomorrow morning where I will be using a VGA connector to a video projector to present my Keynote presentation. I have tried just about every way I know how to make my imported iMovie HD film full screen during the Keynote presentation, but so far the best I can do is making the slides the 1024 size, which still leaves a black background above and below the movie when it is playing.
Basically, what can I do to make my iMovie film full screen in Keynote?
Thanks!
-Randy

First off, I'd be a bit worried if the movie wouldn't play in Quicktime Player -- that's pretty odd, since QT is essentially what Keynote is using for playback as well.
If you have a new MacBook, then its display's "native" resolution is 1280 X 800, which is pretty much HD (which is 1280 X 720). By way of working through this, I'd first set your screen to 1280 X 800, and then set the slide size in Keynote to 1280 X 720 (which is one of the default sizes, precisely because it fits HD). If you do this, and if you set your movie as wide as it will go and centred, then it will leave 40 pixels at the top and bottom of the display when you play the presentation. There is no way around this, as it is simply the case that the height of the movie in pixels is less than the height of the screen. If you tried to fit the movie onto all of the screen, you'd either have to blow it up so that the top and bottom were at the screen edge, which would cut off the left and right parts of the movie (this is like what is done in "pan-and-scan" or "full-screen" DVDs of theatre films), or you'd have to "stretch" the movie vertically, which would distort it.
Complicating all of this is your projector. Even if it is just mirroring your display, if it is a digital projector, it too has its own "native" resolution, and unlike your MacBook, it is very unlikely to be a 16:9 ratio, but rather a 4:3 ratio (800 X 600, or 1024 X 768). So even if you hook up your 1280 X 800 MacBook, the projector will still at best project a squarer image, which may show up as narrow bands of darkness above and below your "mirrored" display.
In short form: there is no way to avoid the black bands -- they arise because the movie isn't as tall as the display, and there's no way around that.

Import Keynote Slides into Imovie

Is it possible to import a Keynote slide into Imovie? If not, is there some way to create a "call out" word balloon and make it appear with a still photo in Imovie?

demoes the usage of Keynote with iMovie.
you can use 'animated' presentations or single 'charts' as jpegs ..

two options:
• prepare the still in some 'paint'-app, demoed here:

How to extract Slide data in 3rd part application from clipboard

I need to be able to copy/paste or drag/drop from PowerPoint into another application (C# WPF). In my OnDrop method the DragEventArgs Data has these formats:
        [0]   "Preferred DropEffect"   string
       [1]   "InShellDragLoop"   string
       [2]   "PowerPoint 12.0 Internal Slides"   string
       [3]   "ActiveClipBoard"   string
       [4]   "PowerPoint 14.0 Slides Package"   string
       [5]   "Embedded Object"   string
       [6]   "Link Source"   string
       [7]   "Object Descriptor"   string
       [8]   "Link Source Descriptor"   string
       [9]   "PNG"   string
       [10]   "JFIF"   string
       [11]   "GIF"   string
       [12]   "Bitmap"   string
       [13]   "System.Drawing.Bitmap"   string
       [14]   "System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapSource"   string
       [15]   "EnhancedMetafile"   string
       [16]   "System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile"   string
       [17]   "MetaFilePict"   string
       [18]   "PowerPoint 12.0 Internal Theme"   string
       [19]   "PowerPoint 12.0 Internal Color Scheme"   string
The "PowerPoint 14.0 Slides Package" is a byte array... can this be converted into Slides?
If not how would I go about getting high-resolution images + slide text from a drag/drop?

What I'd like to do:
Open PowerPoint
In PPT open a presentation
In PPT select a slide
Drag it to my 3rd party WPF application
In the 3rd party WPF application drop handler get the slide data (text, background image, etc...).
When I do this I get the DragEventArgs Data (the clipboard data) and it has the 20 supported formats I listed in the 1st post. From these formats #4 seemed like it could have some useful info.
WPF
<Window x:Class="PowerPointDropSlide.MainWindow"

<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Background="LightBlue">
<TextBlock Text="Drop something here!"/>
</Grid>
</Window>
Handlers:
public void UIElement_OnDragOver(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
public void UIElement_OnDrop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
string[] supportedFormats = e.Data.GetFormats();
object pptSlidesPackage = e.Data.GetData("PowerPoint 14.0 Slides Package");

How can I export an imovie in a pc format?

How can I export an iMovie to a format that will work on a PC?

Easiest was is to install QuickTime for Windows (which is free from Apple) on the PC. Then any iMovie-created file will work.
If you do not have permission to install QuickTime for Windows on your PC (this could be the case for a corporate PC, for example), then I would suggest using SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose Movie to MP4. Choose h.264 for the video codec.

How do i export an imovie to a facebook group?

It is easy to export to a Facebook account, but how do I export to a Facebook Group that has restricted access? The Group under my account is a Private Group which means only members of the group can view its content, however from both my iPhone and in iMovie three is no reference to Facebook Groups of any kind.
How can I export my iMovie into my private group without making it public eg through my main FB account or via a service such as YouTube? I just want the file to be in the private group and not visible to non-members.
TIA

Thanks for your reply Matt, that is what I have been doing, but I was really hoping it would be possible to do this from the Sharing menu on either or both of my iPhone or iMovie.
I guess I shall be disappointed yet again. As so often, "So much promise, so little delivery."

How can I move my iMovie app to "purchased" in my appstore account???

how can I move my iMovie app to "purchased" in my appstore account???

I would not recommend that you move iMovie files to the Time Capsule. You will not get sufficient performance for editing. For this reason, iMovie does not show the Time Capsule as an attached drive within iMovie.
If you move these files using the Finder, you will likely make the projects unusable, because the links between the projects and events will be broken.
Use a locally attached external hard drive tha is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled).
See this User Tip for how to move the Events and Projects to a locally attached drive. (By locally attached, I mean a drive that is attached to your Mac via USB, Firewire, or Thunderbolt cables.)

How can I import into imovie from my cannon video camera built in memory. All that comes up when I connect the USB cable is what is stored on the memory card and it doesn't give me the option to use what is stored on the built in memory

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
With the new Photo app later this year the integration between IOS and the Mac will be much greater
