Im trying to place an arrow into iMovie, but picture in picture doesn't appear, replace or insert comes up instead?

Im trying to place an arrow into iMovie, but picture in picture doesn't appear, replace or insert comes up instead? Im trying to make a highlight video and I cant place an arrow into picture on picture, I used to be able to untill I updated my IOS.
Any help would be great! thanks.

Make sure that you have enabled (checked) Advanced Tools in the General tab under the iMovie menu item "iMovie>Preferences".
Also, a Picture-in-Picture (PIP) can be inserted only into clips in a project - not clips in an Event.

I'm trying to make a slideshow in iMovie, but when I upload photos from my Aperture Library into the iMovie Photo Browser some photos (305 out of 427) are missing. How do I get iMovie to upload all of them?

I'm trying to make a slideshow in iMovie, but when I upload photos from my Aperture Library into the iMovie Photo Browser, some photos (305 out of 427) are missing. How do I get iMovie to upload all of them?

I have same problem. I could only see a fraction of my project photos if I browse the Aperture lbrary. It is the same problem when I sync the aperture photos to my iPhone or iPad. I still cannot solve it but I know a way to go around it for your iMovie to see the pictures so that you can work on your iMovie.
Here is the work around:
Export the photos from your album to your hard disk and re-import into your iPhoto. Now you should be able to see those photos that you want to work on in iMovie when you browse your iPhot library.

I tried to import a video into iMovie. Its says their is not enough space on the destination disk. I deleted many projects, and events. Nothing changed. What files do I delete and how?

Hard drive full or near full:
You are going to have to delete, move or archive your data to regain hard drive space.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive older emails you want to save.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Uninstall apps that you no longer use. If the app has a dedicated uninstaller, use it to completely uninstall the app. If the app has no uninstaller, then just drag it to the OS X Trash icon and empty the Trash.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its thing initially, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run all of the processes in the tabs. Let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be moved, also, to the external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
You may have to Purchase an external FireWire or Thunderbolt hard drive to move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

I have a new computer with Windows 7 professional, Office 2007, Adobe XI. I have just created a word document and tried save it as a PDF but the PDF option doesn't appear in the drop down menu. Any ideas please? Thank you.

I have a new computer with Windows 7 professional, Office 2007, Adobe XI. I have just created a word document and tried save it as a PDF but the PDF option doesn't appear in the drop down menu. Any ideas please? Thank you.

What is "Adobe XI" - Reader, or Acrobat?
But either way, 'Save as Adobe PDF' is a Word function, independent of what Adobe software you have installed.

I have been trying to import VHS video into iMovie via a Hollywood Dazzle bridge. Did not have trouble until I upgraded to mavericks. I have a mac book pro, 10.9.1, iMovie 10.0.2. Says it is recording, but when I go to check, it says the file is empty.

I have been trying import VHS video into iMovie via a Hollywood Dazzle bridge. I have been successful doing this in the past, but now it is not working. I have a mac book pro, 10.9.1, (mavericks), iMovie 10.0.2. Everything in iMovie looks like it is working. It reads "recording" in the upper left hand corner of the pane while the video is playing. When I stop the process to check on my clip it says that the file is empty. The only thing that has changed since I did it successfully is that I upgraded to mavericks from whatever I had previously. My system is about one year old. Any suggestions?

Hey, Clinton,
     Thanks for your help! I was able to go to iMovie 9.0.9 and import video. I was still curious as to why it didn't work in version 10.0.2, so I contacted Apple tech support. They were't sure at first as to why it wouldn't work, so they had me delete iMovie 10.0.2 and then re-install it just to see if something had gone wrong when it upgraded. That didn't change anything. In the end, they determined that 10.0.2 doesn't support the Hollywood Dazzle DV bridge. But I have a workaround path from them that I will share so that it's possible to import to 9.0.9, then move it to 10.0.2.
     1. Open iMovie 9 (finder/applications/iMovie 9.0.9
     2. Import from Dazzle Bridge to iMovie 9, note which event you are importing the clips into
     3. Close iMovie 9
     4. Open iMovie 10 (probably in the dock)
     5. File/Import Media...navigate to home(this was my name, on the left side of iMovie, under Favorites)/Movies/iMovie events. Find the event folder that contains your Dazzle clips (tip-try sorting by date modified to look at recent events.)
     6. Select the clips and import. Click the blue "Import Selected" button on the bottom right.
You may get a message that some files cannot be imported. Click continue import. It's a little glitchy. It imports your clip, and also makes a copy of it, too. On the copy, the audio is normal, but the video is choppy. In any case, you would delete the copy, anyway.
Hope this additional information helps somebody else. Thanks again, Clinton for helping me!

I am trying to move files into imovie but they wont play

I am horrible with computers but trying. The files were saved and would play through VLC player when I clicked on them to rename them I change them to .mov and then when I tried to import in to Imovie they woud not do it and now they will not play at all. So I tried changing them to mp4 but they wouldnt play still. How can I convert these or save them to go into imovie so I can get them edited an uploaded to youtube. I have that part figured out but I dont have the first part figured out. Thanks

See my post here for how to do this.

Trying to import HD .mov into iMovie and it's not importing

Someone gave me a DVD with MTS files. The files were shot on an HD camera. I converted them from MTS to .mov using Smart Converter Pro. I am trying to import the .mov files into my iMovie and nothing is importing.

Hi
It's a little "off" (the sizing is not quite right now), but it's viewable!
Yes - and the info from the sides - are not recorded anywhere as Camera was rotated 90 deg when recording.
Only alternatives are:
- Increase the picture size and crop top / bottom.
- or create a frame instead of the black left and right side "pillards" . just to make it look nicer.
How a Clip-sequence is recorded is very important and using standing picture format as 3x4 (instead of 4x3) is a photo habit in my cases. I've just to forget it and try to concentrate on that it's Video-works I'm into doing .
To make up-sizing and cropping one can use
- QuickTime-pro - or -
- MPEG-StreamClip - or -
- FinalCut Pro (expensive but here You can re-size and rotate and move the clip to view the interesting part - by key-framing.

Inserting arrows into Imovie '11

Hi
I need to insert an arrow into a movie to highlight a certain point. Posts in Imovie '10 tell you how to do this very easily, this however does not work for Imovie'11. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This is the iOS iMovie forum.
You need to go to the iMovie Mac forum.
But you should check your export settings.
The preview that you see on the edit window is a preview, and not meant to be the final quality.
Also if you are editing an SD project it will resize to SD resolution.
If you're losing bit depth then look at what quality you are editing at.
Video is not 48 bit, and will never look as good as a full resolution photo still.

Imported video into iMovie but has no audio

I too have this problem, I cannot get any audio in my imported movies, this was not a problem two weeks ago, can anyone help me?

Cropped photos -import into iMovie, but reverts to original

Anyone have this problem? Cropped photos in iPhoto and iView look fine in their own habitat, but when I import them into iMovie, they revert back to their original uncropped photo - frustrating since these are photos eliminating the letterbox, so there are black lines on two sides, so the cropping within iMovie does not work.
Thank you for any information!

Hi S. Katie - your problem with iPhoto is most likely because when you crop them in the iPhoto window you are not affecting the ORIGINAL photo, and it must be that original photo that iMovie recognises and imports.
So long as they are of good quality, you should be able to use the Ken Burns zoom function to 'crop' them even after they are already in your project.
To batch alter the duration of your stills, firstly select them, then make the adjustment in the Photos Pane and click 'Update'. Note, though, that transitions must be re-rendered (a note to that effect will appear on the screen).

Again... photos into imovie...   why doesn't this work at all???!!!

alright.
made it a couple times. no problem. but for right now either i have a problem with my mac or here are some nervewrecking coincidences going on to make my life just that more complicated:
as in every youtube-tutorial about how to get pictures into imovie and in lots of macusers logic to get a photo into imovie you do this with the function of the mediacenter at the center-right. so you go there click on the iphoto and to fast forward everything go for the searchbar and look for the photo you want, drag it to the upper left side or if you changed setting bottom left side and then, what comes next...    yep...   right...   you drop it....   well yeah, if there would be the possibility => i got no possibility to drop my pictures.
however, this is no problem for me with my videos, with my audio but for some random reason photos are unpossible for me to drag there.
somebody an advice? something with the setting? it's normal jpeg, it's imovie from the year 2009 which is version 8

alright, you guys, forget about what i just said...   i know why it's not working, it is a file that is not as a quadratic picture but one that is just cut out of a quadratic picture. so it's probably that's why it is not working....
so let's take this thing to a different level:
how can i get things that i cut out from editors like gimp and made a jpeg file out of it get into imovie when they are not quadratic?
My idea is to make a video and add in the foreground some little pictures. something like a logo that i can't make with the writing software of imovie. So hoy can i add such a thing or is it even possible?
