IMovie 10.0.7 - Adjust Colours Numerically?

I have a question about iMovie 10.0.7, which is currently the latest version of iMovie.
If you Adjust colours (using the Multislider control, the Saturation slider, or Color Temperature slider) is there a way to bring up numbers, so that you can Adjust the colours numerically? For example, if you increase the Saturation of a clip, is there a way of seeing a value (e.g. +20), so that you know the amount you increased it by?

Yeah, kind of similar to Photos for OS X. Here's a screenshot of the Adjustments menu in Photos for OS X.
Anyway, hopefully you'll be able to adjust colours numerically again in future versions of iMovie.

HT2506 I'm using Preview with a MacBook Pro and MacOS 10.6.8. When adjusting sharpness in the Adjust Colour tool, images are not saved. Any hint? Thanks.

I too experienced the same issue. Here are my details:
Recently I bought a 15” Macbook Pro and last night I tried to connect and use a Edirol FA/66 Firewire 400 connected outboard audio interface using a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter then connected to a Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt adapter since the MBP doesn’t have a native Firewire port. What I observed is that the Edirol was not getting power from the bus nor did the MBP (running Yosemite) recognize the Edriol. At first I thought there was a problem with the Edirol since I haven’t used it in a while but when I connected it to an older MBP that has a native Firewire port, it worked normally. Is there a known issue with these sorts of external audio interfaces working properly with newer MBP running Yosemite? I’m hoping that a software update will fix this issue.

IMovie "Voiceover" how to adjust left

In imovies "Voiceover" I cannot adjust the left & right audio volume to simulate a voice comming from a specific direction. Using "o" the left & right volumn is shown without any means for adjustment.

Interesting question. From the help info it seems that there is no way of handling left and right audio channels within iMovie 10.
I think you would have to record your voiceover outside of iMovie with an app which gives control over left and right channels then import that into iMovie. This article suggests that Garage Band may be an option:

Audacity may be another: http://audacity.sourceforge.net

Video picture bright green and pink, how do I adjust colour?

how do I adjust colour / brightness of my video picture

Thank you Russ, this certainly helps me out a little bit. It's not made very clear in other places I've seen that you have to click on the keyframe in the middle of the picture. Throughout most of yesterday I was clicking on the keyframe in the upper right corner and nothing was happening. But this all still feels kinda limited however especially compared with what I could do in FCP7. Is this all FCPX has to offer? Perhaps I don't understand how this works?
When I click on the keyframe, I get only two choices, linear or smooth. Yet, the still image still does this ease in and out thing. How can I adjust that? Aslo, how can I make constant movement? If I want it to go from picture to picture with constant movement, never starting and stopping, how do I make that happen?

Is there a way to adjust shadows in iMovie 11? WhenI adjust brightness it changes shadows also. If not is there free or low cost software available? My operating system is Lion.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Imovie 13 song volume adjust

seems like the volume adjust for songs added to iMovies only has one ajductment option; grabing the line and using mouse or track pad to move it up or down. it is very sensative. is there another way to adjust volume like older imovie versions? i box where i can type a percent?

Find the song in your iTunes library, highlight it, and click File>Get Info. Then, click on the Options tab. The first option offered on there is a volume adjuster that will only affect that specific song. Once you've changed your settings, just connect your iPod and update it again, and everything should be good.
Best wishes,

Workflow Suggestions Please - Adjust Colour, White Balance, Levels, Resize

Hi,
I have a number of photographs which I need to present in a consistent fashion - each is slightly different from the next in terms of exposure, levels, white balance etc, but they should all be the same. Because each is different, I can't simply define a preset in each of these and apply across the board: each needs to be consistent....
So Can anyone suggest an efficient workflow to:
- Adjust the colour so that each is consistent across the group?
- Adjust the levels so that each is consistent across the group?
- Straighten, Crop and resize so that each is an identical size?
Any advice much appreciated. I'm working with CS3 on a Mac.

Image: Adjustments: Match Color? I have never found this useful but maybe it's what you need. I would use it on a duplicate layer because as far as I know it's not available as an Adjustment Layer.
As far as canvas size, as long as you don't have any background layers, you can make all canvas sizes match and it's non destructive (think of the canvas as a window)
When you do end up scaling the image contents consider using Smart Objects so the sizing is non-destructive.

Elements 8. need to adjust colour on one thing in photo. Can I do it?

I have done colour correction and contrast correction and the picture is the right colours and texture. The eye of the cat is all wrong now. the is a vivid green in life but now is a washed out drab eye. Need to correct that one thing. Can I do it??

Sure. Select the eye, add a one or two pixel feather, then layer>new adjustment layer>hue/saturation. If the eye is completely blown out (no color at all) you may need to turn on the colorize checkbox. Once you're done you may want to adjust the opacity of the layer a bit for a more realistic effect.

IMovie OS X Mavericks Font Colour

Since the OS X Mavericks update, I am really struggling and wondering how it is possible to change font colours of the titles in the new iMovie? I'd like to put some of the titles on a white background, but the font is in white so it doesnt work very well
There seems to be a font editing panel - but all the options are 'greyed' out
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

This issue looks like it only happens when the paper size is set to A4. If I select US Letter the preview is fine and doesn't split the content.

Imovie 11 will not adjust volume of music track

So I put together a skit with background music and laugh tracks. I shared a copy with a friend and he told me when he played it the volume of the background music and laugh track were too high. I went back in and tried to adjust and even though I turned everything down (even to 0%) they still play at the same volume. I have now removed all but the video clips. I removed any ducking and reverted back to the original settings.
Can anyone give me advice on how to make the adjustments?

I think I found my answer.. I searched the internet looking for information on this issue.. and apparently, you are not supposed to drag music to the timeline. You only drag it to the background... an unexpected software change that renders all of the previous work on my movies invalid. I am going to have to go back into all of them and re-do my music.
Sound effects (.CAF files) work on the timeline.
Now.. I have another issue....
My stills in the movie are locking it up...
I have found clues that I have not yet investigated. It appears that you have to use iPhoto to organize your stills before you import them. We shall see if this works.
As for versions...
Identifier: com.apple.iTunes
Version: 10.1 (10.1)
Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook4,1
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
And I have tried various music formats .mp3, .m4a, .acc and .m4p..
Few of these songs are iTunes purchases. Many are direct imports from my CD collection.. Some are downloads from other sources...
None of them will play when pasted to the timeline.

Adjusting Colours

How do I change the colour of part of my image to be the same colour as another part. I know you were able to do this in old versions of photoshop, where you simply selected the colour in the image that you wanted then coloured in where you wanted the colour. I have elements 12 and am unsure of how to do it on here.

You should still do as Mark suggested, so you can learn about actions, but if
your interested in the Image Processor script for cs (not included with cs by default),
you can download Dr Browns 2.3 Image Processor for photoshop cs from here:
Look under Photoshop CS tips:
http://replay.web.archive.org/20051231035304/http://www.russellbrown.com/tips_tech.html
The script needs to be installed in the photoshop cs presets/scripts folder and
then start or restart photoshop and look under File>Scripts>Dr Browns Image Processor 2.3

Adjusting colour saturation

I'm trying to match my Cinema Display to a PAL CRT broadcast monitor. I've managed to set most things how I want them, but find the colours are much more intense on the Cinema Display.
Is it possible when calibrating an Apple Cinema Display to reduce overall colour saturation? I can't seem to find a way.

Redering error Imovie 10.0.7

Hello.
Im getting a redering error: -50 every time I try to render my first movie. It happends at the same time all the time, at a certain clip. I read that one solution is to delete this clip. But for me I might as well delete the project. Theres gotta be another way. I cannot see anything wrong with the clip I must use and it is recorded in the same batch as the other clips with the same camera.
I hope there is some sound advice out there!
Thanks

Yeah, kind of similar to Photos for OS X. Here's a screenshot of the Adjustments menu in Photos for OS X.

Problem with applying effects in iMovie

Students are having problems whenever they apply video effects to footage. So far they have tried 'Adjust colours, B&W and brightness contrast' When applying the above effects the screen became pixelated. The students pressed apply anyway and the effect appeared to be applied but everytime they tried to playback their film, it froze when it reached the scenes that had an effect applied to them.
Many thanks
Andrea

IM6 originally was designed for OS 10.3.9 and works well with higher. I use 10.3.9 myself with no problems.
With your various computers and operating systems you may be getting a mismatch of iLife programs. A lot of times an outdated Quicktime can cause problems. 3rd party plug-ins can cause problems as well.
Before you do anything, make sure that your computers have at least 20GB of free space on your boot drive, after loading your project. Then I would try the oft applied maintenance of deleting preferences and doing a permissions repair. To delete preferences, close iMovie and trash the file named com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair using the Disk Utility app found in HD/Applications/Utilities. In the left hand pane of the Disk Utility window seclect your hard drive icon and then click on repair permissions. Takes about 3 minutes to repair. Then relaunch iMovie and see if you still have the problem. iMovie will recreate the .plist file that you deleted.
Also, iMovie playback is pretty low resolution. Your final burned project will display much better. You might try a quick share to iDVD, takes just a few minutes, and play back the project in iDVD. You should get much better resolution there, and a smoother playback.
I am reluctant to suggest updating programs for fear of possibly causing or aggravating any mismatches with the various machines and operating systems that you have in use. So I will leave that to your own discretion. As I mentioned, an outdated Quicktime can sometimes cause problems.
Perhaps others will post with more suggestions.
Good luck with this.

Adjusting Video FX problem

I use iMovie HD 6 a lot, but have discovered a problem I can't resolve. I rarely use the Video FX facility but on this occasion I want to adjust color:
On any project, when I go to Editing> Video FX> Adjust Colours I find the Hue Shift and Lightness slides are set midway, but, the Color is not set midway between B&W and Vivid, but pre-set right across at Vivid! Presumably this is a default setting? Why? And if it's true, what's the point of having adjustments when in this case it's already over at it's limit, meaning I can't enhance existing color?
Big question - can I go in somewhere and re-adjust the default? I looked, but see nothing in Preferences. Can anyone help?

OK, don't worry everybody, I found the answer myself:
Forget Adjust Color, don't let that fool you (Apple, you make life difficult sometimes), instead -
Go to Editing> Video FX > Quartz Composer > Saturate
Here color can be adjusted!
