How to Zoom Out

I'm using iMovie 7.1.4 to create a video that will include a slide show of photos with transitions, titles, short video clips, and music. I simply want to take a picture and either zoom in from the full shot or zoom out to the full shot. This is so basic and yet I can't find how to do it with iMovie08. Ken Burns only seems to allow me to select a small section of the photo and pan to a another section. Please help. I'm so desparate that I'm considering borrowing a Windows laptop and downloading Photostory. If this is not possible with iMovie08, could you suggest another program? Ultimately, the whole thing will run about 20 minutes and I want to put it on a DVD for general viewing. Help!

Yes. iMovie will not add the black border so that you can fully zoom a portrait photo in Ken Burns. You can add the black border yourself in a tool like Photoshop. Or if you are familiar with Automator, there is an Automator Action called "Pad Images" which will do this.

  • How to zoom out and view an entire track in the window

    There's got to be a way to zoom out so an entire track can viewed at once so that segments of the track can be shifted around. I have a track that is about 50 minutes long with several segments in it. I want to shift the segments around. Right now I can only view about a minute of the track at a time and have to click on the segment then move the cursor either left or right and wait for Garageband to scroll to the time where I want to put it. Isn't there a way to just zoom out and view the entire track and then shift segments around without all the scrolling? Does that make sense?

    Hm ... mine zooms out to more than an hour?
    interesting!
    I opened GB4 and it maxed out at 4 minutes. then i opened GB6 and it maxed out at 15 minutes. then i opened another project in GB 6 and it maxed out at 35 minutes.
    so there must be something else going on here, perhaps like how time sigs affected length in the older versions?

  • Photomerge in PS CS (v.8): how to zoom out?

    I use Photoshop CS (v.8.0) on a Mac G4 (PPC) with OS X 10.4.11.
    When I use Photomerge and get to the screen in which my two (or more) images can be joined, I see the zoom-in tool (and this works perfectly well) but I cannot find either a key-combination for zooming out again, or a tool to do this. The online Photoshop 'Help' pages seem to talk about a zoom-out tool, but I imagine the 'Help' pages may be for later versions  of Photoshop.
    I should be grateful for any instructions for zooming out.

    Thank you, both respondents. I had tried both those ideas before posting in this forum — or so I thought. Command-'minus' does not work. But I now realize that when I tried Option-zoom, what I did was hold down Option and click on the image instead of holding down Option, clicking on the zoom tool and then clicking on the image. Thank you again. Problem solved.

  • How to zoom out to see entire project?

    I can't zoom out far enough using the zoom slider to see the entire project.
    Anyone know of a way I can do it?

    Thanks for your help, it's a shame that there's no Overview view to see the whole project.

  • How to zoom out on apple tv

    My apple tv screen is zoomed in and won't fit properly on my tv. How do I zoom it back to fit the screen?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV doesn't have any zoom controls, it's one of your TV settings that is causing this. (Assuming you aren't watching older 4:3 content of course)

  • HT1338 screen zoomed in, how to zoom out

    Hi
    All of my information no longer fits on to my screen.  For example, in the top RH corner, where the time and my name is, I need to use my mouse to scroll across my screen to see all of the information.
    Can anyone tell me how I can resolve this so that all of the information fits back on to one screen?
    Thanks

  • How do you zoom out from a fixed point?

    Okay, I'm not sure if this is possible, but...
    My first video clip in a scene is pretty boring, since there's no action, just a guy typing at his keyboard. To add in some motion, I'd like to have it start out so that all you can see are his eyes, but then it zooms out to show the whole scene.
    So what I'd want to do is somehow set his eyes as a fixed point and then zoom out from there. However, I have no idea how to go about doing this, since I don't even know how to zoom out. I know how to zoom in, but not out.
    Could someone please help me?

  • Zoom out issue on shared members

    Hi All,
    While doing Ad-Hoc Analysis on EPMA planning app using Smartview, When I zoom out on a shared member, It is showing its original parent rather than the shared member parent. Is this a bug?
    Planning version is 11.1.2.3 and Smartview is 11.1.2.5.

    Hi
    I am not sure its a bug. This behaviour has been around for a while. How your zoom out works depends on what you have in your report.
    So, if all you have in your report is the shared member, with no reference to other areas of the shared dimension essbase has no way of knowing you have the shared member. It thinks it is the stored member and will always zoom out on the stored primary hierarchy.
    Try this. On the report also have the total parent of the shared hierarchy in addition to the shared member. So what I am saying is that if you drill down in report, always drill inclusive of the total of the shared hierarchy. Then essbase has a reference to drill back up the shared hierarchy.
    Thanks

  • I plugged my macbook pro into an external monitor, then unplugged it later and now it is stuck with black borders on top and bottom and zoomed out like it is still on the monitor. How do I fix it?

    I started using my external monitor with my macbook pro and as soon as I plug it in it to the monitor it adjusts the screen by zooming out a bit and creating about 3/4 of an inch black borders on the top and bottom of the screen. But these dont show up on the monitor so I assumed it was fine. But when I took it off the monitor, the borders were still there like it was still on the monitor. Any hellp? Its starting to mess with my eyes haha.

    Hi aefulcher,
    It sounds like you had the external display set to mirror the internal display so the resolution(s) were changed to match each other.

  • How to set the zoom out or in for all pages permanently?

    I wish to set my page size one size smaller than the default.
    The result of ctr - (zoom out) is exactly what I want (it decreases the size of text AND images). However this effect only lasts for the page I am currently on, as soon as I navigate to a different page (or just refresh the page I am at), it reverts back to the default size.
    I looked at Tools->Options->Content, however that deals only with text size (besides it looks only certain pages are affected by this setting anyway).
    In other words, how (or where) do I set my browser to automatically decrease size or 'Zoom Out' for all the pages I visit in order not to set it manually for every page every time.
    Regards
    PS.
    If this setting can be applied for individual users (I have a multi user PC) that would be even better, although I would be very grateful if I could just set it.
    PPS.
    Additional information. I just discovered it seems to be working now in normal browsing but not in private browsing, my apologies for the omission.

    I zoomed in on a picture online by holding control and open pinching and for some reason, my desktop was enlarged as well. How I can't zoom out enough for my desktop to return to normal? I would like to be able to see my whole desktop without scrolling over to see the time or the file menu!

  • I was viewing a page online, and somehow it zoomed out so the page is tiny in the browser window. How do I zoom back in?

    I was viewing a page online, and somehow it zoomed out so that the page is now tiny in the browser window. I've shut down all my windows and rebooted my computer, but every time I return to that page, it is still tiny. I've looked for a button to control the zoom, but cannot find anything. How do I zoom back out so the page is the correct size again?

  • How to Zoom in and Out on PDF files in Safari?

    Safari help is not helpful since it gives inaccurate information on how to Zoom in and Out on a PDF file that has opened in Safari. The help says to control click the page and choose the zooming level you desire. However control clicking the PDF file in Safari brings up a save page box. I tried some of the other keys with clicking and they did not work. Thanks in advance to those who helped me save a PDF file to the desktop so I can view in Preview.- But often I just need to be able to zoom in to read the tiny text that is displayed.

    Thanks for getting back to me-
    the website I am trying to zoom into a PDF on is:
    http://www.beedocuments.com/software/Timeline/screenshots.html
    I click on one of the screenshots- it loads into a safari window.
    When I control key click on the image- a pop up menu comes up asking me to save the image to deskotp- add it my image library and 2 other save options. No zoom in or Zoom out. I only have an apple pro mouse and my track pad- so right clicking isn't an option.

    Select the Zoom Tool in the tool box and see if Scrubby Zoom is unchecked or greyed out in the tool options bar.
