Image size and format for IMovie

I am trying to make a short stop motion animation in IMovie. I have made my images in Adobe illustrator. I transfer the images into IMovie as JPEGS.the images, which are basically line drawings, look sharp and clean but as soon as you watch them as moving pictures they become broken up.
what am I doing wrong? does this have to do with my image size or format?

iDVD will try to downsize the image to work, but your TV often will overscan with the result being edges clipped off. The amount of clipping can vary, so the "TV Safe" settings will typically be the center 80-90% of the image. So, if you add a border that makes the image 10-15% larger, that should display the whole image. For example, if you had a 150 dpi image that was 640x480, you could put a 10% border on it so the final image was 704x528.

Image size and dpi for iDVD menu custom background?

I created a custom background for my iDVD menu. When showing
on my TV, part of the words and image is cut off on each side, even after adjusting my tv picture between wide screen and standard screen.
What is the correct size and dpi to make a photograph to use as a background
image in the menus? This may have been answered before, so I apologize for posting the same question, if so.

Image Sizes and Resolution standards?

are there any standards for image sizes and resolution for mobile games specifically: backgrounds and backdrops?
i will be porting my game for various cell phones and i'd like to resize images to fit perfect on all cell phone screens, so what would be the best way to do this and what should my image attributes (height, width) be?
i've tried researching on google to see if there were any standards and couldn't seem to find any. if these standards are non-existent what image sizes have you used that you found worked best on various mobile phones?
thanks

Google's right, there are no real standards for screen sizes. Some are more common than others, but there are dozens of common screen sizes.
The most common are...
176x208 (same as 176x220, but with no status bar)
240x320
176x220
[Getjar resolution stats|http://www.mobref.com/statistics/world/gDispResolution]
Unfortunately, many phones are slightly more or slightly less than those. If you cover those, you're fairly well off though. If you can make your game resolution independent, that's your best option, though with intricate overlays it may be nearly impossible to do.

Thank you for approving my feed iTunes . The only problem is, there is no art work, even though artwork was submitted correct sizes and formats were used. Why is this and how can the problem be rectified?

Thanks for getting back. Hadn't got round to re uploading the amended feed. I just did it now.
The only thing is, Feed Validator doesn't like it because of the picture size, and a couple of other things, it reeds the following:
Sorry

Image size and dimensions in Safari

Is there a fast method of viewing image size and dimentions in Safari? I can open image in new tab and see its width and height in tab/window name. I can save image to the Desktop and see file size but it's not convenient. Is there some another way without opening an saving image somewhere like Control+click -> Properties?
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Pat,
You don't need to set the image size as such. The image prints on the page according to two sets of criteria:
1. Whether you set dpi to custom or a specific value, and
2. The page margins you set either as a printing once-off, or as a new printing pre-set.
For example, I print "arty" photos in a portrait format on A4 matte paper. Left and right margins are around 3cm, top margin is around 3cm, bottom margin is around 5 cm (all numbers are from memory...). I have a title just below the image.
I created this particular page setup for a certain photo and liked it so much I saved it as another print preset. Any photo I print using that preset fits within the margins defined. The very next print might be the same photo, but this time printing A3+ on Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl. Choose the photo, select the relevant print pre-set, print. Re-sizing is irrelevant - the print in both cases is coming from the processed raw at maximum resolution.

Calx

Multiple size and format exports

Is there a way to hit the export button on a selection of images one time and produce multiple sizes and formats of each image? Maybe an automator script.
It would speed things up if you didn't have to go back and choose a different format from the drop down list and start the export over again for each different size that you need.

I was just doing something similar recently, I agree it would be nice to have something easier to do just this...
I think the simplist way would actually be to write an export plugin using the new Export API, it would be truest to what you are probably trying to produce (I was creating a series of different resolutions of the same image for a web page). It would be trickier though.

How do you change the image size and resolution in photoshop everytime I change the width the height changes my measurements will not stay

Can someone assist me with changing image size and resolution. each time I change the width the height changes and vice/versa?

There's a chain link between width and height. The point is to keep the aspect ratio the same, otherwise your picture would get stretched.
You click on the chain-link to shut that off and you can adjust width and height separately.
Also could you give us your version of Photoshop, what OS you are running it on (Windows 7 for example) and what exactly you want to do with your document?
Resolution is the print term for how many pixels will be printed on an inch of paper. It doesn't apply if your image is intended for screen viewing.

Reduce image size and print it out?

I scanned an image (coloring on a postcard). This size is too big to fit into a 'album' picture in MS Picture It! All I want to do is REDUCE the image and save it so that it will fit into the computer photo album I'm creating.
I've tried Image/Resize/Image Size and changed the sizing, but it still comes out the exact same size as the original. What am I doing wrong?

> I want to REDUCE the image, not enlarge it.
I understood that - what makes you think I didn't?
> It's 948x645 pixels. I just want the image about an inch (respectively) smaller
You can't think in terms of inches for screen images. You have to work in pixels and the actual size will depend upon the screen resolution on the machine being used to view the image.
I'd reduce the pixel size by about 80 to get the effect that you want. Use Image/Resize/Image Size and make sure that you have "Resample" checked.

Set-up custom font, font size, and color for writing new and reply e-mails in Thunderbird

I know that I can select the font, size, and color for writing each new and reply e-mails in Thunderbird, but I don't want to have to do this each time. I want to set-up the default font, size, and color for all new and reply e-mails. It already comes up with a default one, but I want to change it, but can't figure out how to do this. I'm sure it is quite simple, but I don't know how to do this. Thank you in advance for help.

Tools > Options > Display > Formatting tab
Default font: select font
Select size : eg; 14
Click on 'Advanced' button and set all the sizes to 14
Select : 'allow messages to use other fonts'
click on OK
Click on 'Composition'
Under the 'General' tab
Suggest you set HTML font to 'Variable width' and Size : 'Medium'
Select the 'Text colour' you would like to compose email using
Select the 'Background colour' you would like to use when composing emails.
click on OK to save all changes.
This will set the display email list to the selected font.
It will allow received emails to use the font the sender used.
When you compose an email it will also use the same font settings.
The message 'Display' settings in the above section also apply to messages that you compose. The settings are not sent, so they do not affect how your messages appear to recipients.
The settings in the ''Composition' section can affect how messages are sent. If you make unusual choices, then people who receive messages from you might find them difficult or impossible to read. Hence, why I suggest you leave it as 'Variable width' and allow the 'Display' settings to set the default used for composing emails.

Image size and type

what Icon / Image size and type we should use of our own menu ?
Giuseppe

Hi Giuseppe,
I'm not sure what restrictions there are on image type but I always use a 24bit Bitmap image with width 18px and height 14px. For transparency, set the background colour to RGB 192-220-192 and SBO will automatically make this area transparent, regardless of the colour scheme the user has on the client.
Kind Regards,
Owen

Checking Image Size and Dimensions

How do I check the size of an image like a Signature or another image without having to save it and then checking it? Is there a way to check it in Safari?

What? I don't see "Inspect Element" anywhere.
Are there any plugins (perhaps at pimpmysafari.com) where we can add functions such as "Properties" for viewing image size and dimensions, as well as "View Image" to view the image by itself? I'm trying to convert from Firefox, but these are a couple of the things getting in the way.

PSE 4 -Best Size and Resolution for Burning to a DVD?

I would like to burn a slideshow that is playable on most DVD-players from about 80 RAW files. I plan to "Author" (correct term?) it with Roxio's Easy Media Creator which, I believe, makes an MPEG-4.
Correct me, but I beleive PS Elements 4.0 only makes PDFs or WMV slidehsows. So I have to burn the DVD using another utility.
To what image size and resolution should I reduce my RAW files, so that they can be shown on standard (not HD) television sets?

Hi Julie: Look here:
http://www.danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/video/2002.shtml
That should help.
……I'm using iMovie HD but I'm on a G4 so don't have HD capabilites. Not sure if that matters. ………
No, that doesn't matter at all.
