I can't get my art cards to center when importing from photoshop.  iMovie 6

I've tried just about every size for the HD Widescreen.  I thought 1280x720 would get it.  It fits the window, but it is not centered and gets pushed right.  I need to use photoshop as I have a corporate logo and various sized type/colors on the same art card.  I have tried all the different types of HD settings and Widescreen is the only one that gets close.  I am using iMovie 6 as I like that interface better than the later ones.
Thanks for any input

I also prefer iMovie 6!
Not sure about the centering, but the correct ratios are:
PAL (for Europe):
Standard DV (4:3) 768 x 576
DV Widescreen (16:9) 1050 x 576
NTSC (for the USA):
Standard DV (4:3) 720 x 528
DV Widescreen (16:9) 874 x 480
Mind you, I have never bothered with the aspect ratio. I regularly use photos in jpg format (200 dpi) in 6.4 aspect and they always centre.
What format are your Art cards? If you save them as jpgs they should centre when imported in to iMovie from iPhoto.

  • How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

    How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

    iDVD does not care about file sizes, as it compresses the file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2.
    It only cares about length i.e. max 2 hours including titles etc.
    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

  • Keep getting "required file in use" error when importing from a disc

    Installed 12.0.1 this weekend and now cannot import songs from a disc (have tried on several different discs). I keep getting the error message that "Error occurred while converting the file. The required file is in use). Have rebooted several times with no improvement.  There doesn't seem to be any problem playing anything off my existing library, but I also get failure messages when purchasing from Amazon. Anyone have ideas?

    Any Suggestions?

  • HOw can I get my address book, in Lion, to import from version 5.0.3?

    I am trying to import my address book from version 5.0.3 to my new Lion, via flash drive.  Lion won't open the file.  How do I upgrade it?

    This would do the trick, thanks.  However, I solved it by making sure that the MacBook that the Address Book was on had Lion, too.  Then, I exported the entries to the Flash Drive and it worked perfectly, seamlessly.  The Lion didn't cost me because I had a few extra installs to use.

  • Can't get rid of duplicate email accounts itunes imports from outlook

    Hey everybody,
    iTunes imports my email account information from Outlook and for some reason it finds duplicate email accounts. I only have one .pst file which only has one of each email account attached to it but iTunes finds duplicates.
    So in iTunes, when I tick one of a duplicate account and click apply the other duplicate will tick itself.
    I have no idea what is going on and I'm tempted to reinstall outlook, itunes, delete my pst file, restore my iPhone and just start all over again!
    But I really don't want to do that.

    Have the same problem. Sometimes end up with in excess of 10 duplicated calendars (they show as "all mobileme calendars" but do not have the individual calendars listed) on my iphone although the correct calendars only appear once on both mobileme and Mac. Have never had sync turned on in itunes.
    A tiresome workaround to delete these from the phone is to go into settings/mail,contacts,calendar/your mobileme account and turn calendars off. Say yes to delete calendar on iphone. When this is finished turn calendars back on, then exit and open the calendar. One duplicate should have been removed. Repeat ad infinitum.
    Problem is the duplicates keep coming back (even without connecting to the Mac). Anyone with ideas for a permanent solution?

    Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
    Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.

    How can I get a sim card for Japan and will it work with my locked Iphone 6

    You cannot use a SIM card on a carrier locaked phone, other than a sim from the carrier the phone is locked to. You must first get the carrier it is locked to, to unlock your phone. Apple does not unlock phones.

    Does anything show on your account's purchase history ? If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
    If it does and you didn't do the purchase(s), and nobody else has access to your account or devices, then try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption. Is that how you tried contacting them ?
    If it doesn't show on your account then contact your card issuer.
    For your account being disabled have you tried getting it re-enabled ? If it's been disabled due to payments then you may need to contact support to get it enabled
