IMovie 11 - How to add still photos to movie trailers

How do I get still images into my iMovie trailer (themed)? I can't seem to get them into the events tray. The project tray is filled with the trailer in process (can't pull them from there either). Import function just wants to pull video clips.
Any insight would be appreciated.

How to Add Still Photo for Movie Trailer?

I can't get iMovie '11 to see any of my iPhoto still pictures to add to a Movie Trailer. How can I do this? The photo icon is gray.

The Trailers don't accept stills, as they are designed to work only with video clips. However, a workaround is to convert the Trailer to a normal project (File>Convert to Project). Then you can edit the project like any other. A downside though is that any modifications you make may cause the music and images to go out of sync. The video and music could end up finishing at different times. You may therefore have to add your own music, lessening the impact of the predesigned theme. NOTE: Before converting, Duplicate the Trailer first, then convert the duplicate. To duplicate, right-click on the Project name in the Project Library then select Duplicate Project.
You could create a project containing just the stills you want to use in the Trailer. Export the project at full size, then re-import to an iMovie Event. That will effectively create a movie from the stills which should then be available for the Trailers. I haven't tested this but assume it will work, given that the stills have now been converted to video.
PS. I just tested the procedure described in my last paragraph above. It works perfectly. In fact you can use the Ken Burns effect on the photos before exporting, creating movement on the stills, which works great with the Trailers!

IMovie '11: How to add a photo to a title?

Hello,
I'm brand new to iMovie and I only have limited experience seeing a friend make some stuff in Final Cut. I'm looking to create bumpers for my videos using a simple logo for my company (png, tiff, pdf, whichever file type is best). I then want to be able to save these bumpers so as to be able to just drop them into the videos I make.
That way I can have this:
Intro Logo Bumper
Text Title
Actual content (video)
Text Title credits
Outro Logo Bumper
Would I add a photo to a title? I can see that in order to insert a photo, one has to access iPhoto/Photo Booth. Is there a way to just point to a folder for the particular project? I don't really want to muck up my iPhoto library with my project files.
Secondly, I don't see how to encapulate this bumper so as to make it an all-in-one thing that can just be placed before and after the video in the timeline.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Bryan

The easiest way to create a bumper is to do a generic bumper, or better yet, create a real project that includes your bumper.
Then select this project in the Project Library List and click FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT. Give the duplicate a name, like "Bumper Template". If you used a real project, you can open the "Bumper Template" project and delete everything except the bumper.
When you start a new project, select the Bumper in the project library list is use FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT again. This time, give the duplicate the name of your new project. Your bumper will already be there, and you can just add the specific project footage or photos.
When creating your bumper, you can use the animatics under the maps tab as a placeholder if you want to insert project specific photos or videos in your bumper.

I want to know how can add still photos(iphoto) to the movie trailer projects?

How can I do what I asked above?

Go to the Project Library View and select your Trailer. Then in the top menu, click FILE/CONVERT TO PROJECT.
Now you can further edit your trailer, with all the capabilities of iMovie, including adding photos.

How to add Material photo in SAP

Hi folks,
    Does anybody know how to add material photo to material No?
     As now, when our old spare parts are bad, maintanance user have to find a new one to replace, so they need to provide the material No to warehouse user or purchase dept.
    But now as there are a lot of spare parts in SAP, iIt's difficult for them to appoint SAP material No from layout, so we want to add photo to material No.
Great thanks!

When viewing material, from main menu select System > Services for Object.
You may get a choose object type option, if you do, choose a std way to work e.g. always use Object = Material.
You'll then get a mini free floating toolbar. Select the far left Icon and Create an attachment. Navigate to your picture and upload.
To view the picture, select the Icon second left (this is greyed out if there are no attachments).
You can attach any number of pictures or Word documents etc.

Nick

HT1296 how to add new photos without deleting the existing photos in ipad

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to add new photos/PDF books from my PC to iPad without deleting the exsting data in iPad?

Hello AJ2349
If it is prompting you that it will replace the data on your iPhone, then that is typically the result of syncing with a different computer. The only way you can bypass that is to replace the media on your device and then sync. Now it will only replace items that would be considered purchased items like music, movies, TV shows and Apps and would not delete any pictures from your iPhone. Alternatively you can setup a Shared Photo Stream and then add the Photos there without syncing your iPhone with your computer. Check out the articles below for more information.

How to add actionscript to a movie symbol

I am a complete newbie to actionscript and flash. I am using
Flash CS3 with Mac OSX.
I need to know how to add actionscript to a movie symbol?
I made a circle and coverted it into movie symbol. After
selecting it and opening Windows > Actions, it says that the
currect selection can not have actions applied to it.
I have also tried ticking the Export for actionscript option
and leaving the default options on, but still no use.
can someone please help me?

ticking Export for actionscript isnt doing anything for you,
thats to attach a movie from the library... click your movie clip
symbol, in the properties panel, click where it says 'Instance
Name', and give it a unique name, lets say, my_mc. then in an
actions layer, ON A KEYFRAME, add this
my_mc.onRelease
or
my_mc.onRollOver
or
my_mc.onRollOut
and so on, but that's how you reference the movie clip... by
its instance name

How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone? I synced the device and noticed that some photos and some movies from iPhoto on my laptop were not transferred to my iPhone.

How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone? I synced the devices and noticed that some photos and movies on my laptop iPhoto were not transferred to my iPhone?

I am not sure, which answer you found - so just in case:
If you sync your iPhone with the iPhoto library, the photos will only stay on the iPhone until the next sync and they are not in the Camera Roll. If you transfer using the Photo Stream, they will only be vidsible in the stream, until they are replaced in iCloud by newer content.
So, if you want to transfer the photos permanently, save them to the Camera Roll.

How to add all photos in one Album

Hi,
I bought iMovie yesterday and I have albums in photos application. I want to add all photos in one album to iMovie.
Thanks
Best Regards

They can only be added one at a time, a bit annoying but that's the way.
Add photos
With your project open, scroll the project timeline so that the playhead (the red vertical line) appears over the location where you want to add the photo; you can move the photo later if you want.
If the playhead is resting over a video clip, the photo is added before or after the end of the clip closest to the playhead.
Tap the Media Library button , and then tap the Photos button at the bottom of the screen.
Tap Camera Roll, Photo Library, or an album, and then tap the photo you want to add.
To preview a photo before adding it, tap and hold the photo in the Photo browser until it appears in the pop-up viewer.
The added photo appears for a duration of 3 to 6 seconds, depending on the length of the transitions that appear before and after the photo, but you canchange this duration.
A Ken Burns effect is also applied to the image, which means the camera appears to sweep across and zoom in on the photo. You can adjust this effect. Go to Edit a photo to learn how.
You can ask Apple to fix this in the next update:

How to add a photo in contacts

Formerly I was able to add a photo to a contact in the address book (Snow Leopard), and now, under Mavericks, I cannot get a photo from my iphoto to the contact but it looks one has to store photos on icloud that I do not want to do. I wish to keep my photos on my MAC computer only.
How can I proceed ?

Hello QTkirk, so you opened your iphoto to icloud. That "inlook" I want to avoid. As said under Snow Leopard I could add a photo to my contacts without problems. As I updated to Mavericks this is not possible anymore.
I hope to find a way without icloud.....privacy is a big Word....and we can still manage ourselves without Big Brother or Sister is watching you!!!
Any other suggestions?
Note: pictures can be added to Contacts ex photos on the ipad and iphone!

How to add images/photos to multiple item entries quickly?

We've got about 10,000 items in our database, and we've got pictures of all of them. We've got all of the items in the Business One database individually, with price and cost and barcode, etc.
But we want to add the photo of each one to its respective entry in Business One. I know you can do that through the "Remarks" tab, but that'll take forever. Also, you can't upload the photo for different items simultaneously that way. Say you have 4 items/liquids that are the same, but different sizes, you don't want 4 different pictures. How can I add the same stock photo to all 4 at the same time?
Thanks guys!

G. Mimmo Misceo,
I will answer your question in two parts.
Part 1
To link the pictures to all the Items you could do it through Data Transfer Workbench.
The PicturName field stores the picture name in the Item Master table. OITM.PicturName
In the DTW templates folder you will find ....\oItems\*Items.xlt*
Fill the RecordKey, ItemCode and Picture columns. Leave everything else blank.
The Picture column should be filled with the actual picture name example test.jpg
Copy all your picture to the folder that is defined in
Administration > System Initialization > General Settings...Path Tab...............Picture Folder
Part 2
If you want mutiple pictures you could create user defined fields in the Item Master and then using the same process import the other pictures to these user defined fields.

How to add a photo

I have tried to add photos and titles but it does not work. I can only add videos. Is there somebody who has got the same problem and can help me? In imovie09 this was easy, but now I am using my new macbook with imovie11. Is the software installed on my computer corrupt? Should I to reinstall it? Thanks!

I'm in a similar boat. This is the first time I've tried adding a photo to iMovie '11. I'm attempting to do so in the same exact way I used to do it in iMovie '09 (by dragging and dropping it into the project) and while I can see the photo within the project, the photo doesn't display when I play the video. Instead, it takes a freeze frame of the preceding clip or it shows black during that part of the video. I've tried multiple photos. They are coming straight from iPhoto and as I mentioned I am doing this exactly the same way I used to do it in iMovie '09.
I'm horribly frustrated. I made this movie to announce the birth of my son and all I have left to do is add a photo of him to the end. Every time Apple updates their software or (in this case) I buy the latest upgrade, something embarrassingly basic such as this seems to stop working.
Can someone help? With two kids I've got like 12 minutes to do this. It should take 2. My time's already up.
Aaaaaarrrrrrrrgh why did I ever become an Apple fan boy????
