IMovie 11 picture box layouts

Can you alter, or create your own photo box layouts in iMovie 11. If so how, or where can you do this.
I can't find that option. I don't want to use the canned, preset photo layouts. Any options available?

It has been happening to me, but it doesn't change the final video itself, if it is previewed in full screen mode, it will sometimes freeze, but to see the scene that freezes, just play it (in fullscreen mode) and click back a few seconds before it freezes and it should play normally.
You can also bring the mouse over the clip to preview it or:
Duplicate the whole project
2. Export it to Quicktime
Hope this helps

  • EPSs from CS4 artboards appear incorrectly in Quark picture boxes

    I produced a set of maps in AI CS4, then exported the artboards as individual CS3 or CS3 EPS files. When my client opens the files in Quark Xpress picture boxes, they just see a white screen - they have to use the hand tool to drag the drawing within the picture box so the intended artwork comes into view. I tested the files in Quark 6.1 and got the same results.
    Now I used to do this to my client all the time - when exporting FreeHand files to Illustrator (and in fact, before finishing in CS4 I started these maps in FreeHand) I'd leave some stray piece of art by page 1, then when I exported page 5 (saving a copy of the file and erasing all the other pages) the art would appear in Quark with the stray art at 0,0, and the intended artwork waaaay off to the right. Not a nice thing to do to a paying client doing book layout, so I take care not to leave stray art in my final files. And I check in Illustrator for stray art outside the artboard.
    When I open THIS art in CS3 or CS4, and "select all," when I zoom out I find NO stray art that would cause the EPS to offset. All the layers are "on" and unlocked, so there shouldn't be any artwork I would not be able to select. I was under the impression that when "use artboards" is selected during import, CS4's marvelous multiple artboards are supposed to export only what's on the artboard (or overlaps it). And this seems to be the case. But is there some sort of setting or hidden data that didn't get the message?
    In the past when I saved an AI or FH file with stray art as a raster format, theTIFF or JPG includes the entire area with any art in it. When I export these AI files as TIFF they cropped to the artboard. BUT when I email one of the EPSs, Mail displays the image super small and super wide, confirming it thinks there's some stray art or a stray setting.
    If there's some invisible artwork OR improper setting, I haven't found it yet. Any ideas? Has any one discovered a similar problem?
    Thanks!
    P.S. Thanks to JET, Mordy and others for your help figuring out multiple artboards this winter!

    Hi All! Thanks for your feedback, including sloppy art. Some sloppiness is inherent in the process of cobbling together and updating guidebook maps (copying art from better art/overlapping areas rather than redrawing it again) but some is optional. Usually it's findable and fixable.
    Having discovered the problem was related to stray art, and determined it was impossible to erase (i.e. locally buggy) I solved my immediate problem by copy-pasting JUST the art in the artboard onto a fresh page. I had not done this before because I thought AI was UNABLE to paste artwork and copy it to (remember) the layers the art started out on. Turns out it CAN, and has been able to do so for years, but the setting in the layers panel pulldown menu is turned OFF by default. Oh.
    I clicked my ruby red shoes together, turned this setting on, and was able to copy the art, layers and all. Although I was out of the office yesterday, my client was able to fix the rest of the files in-house after I explained where to find this setting.
    In FreeHand the "paste remembers layers" setting is in one of the Preferences panels (another logical place to put it). Figuring such an obvious feature MIGHT exist, rather than looking at AI's preferences panels, upgrade after upgrade, and wondering why Adobe hadn't yet added it, on a whim I looked up "layers" in the index of the Illustrator CS3 Manual, and there it is on page 306.
    (The manual, purchased separately from Adobe, is a fairly handy little book and sometimes it's easier to find stuff that's called by different names than by browsing online help).
    My maps don't use symbol libraries because I started them in FreeHand and some of the source art goes back a good 8 years; redoing the page-sized maps with libraries is arguably less practical than simply maintaining it. I like the directness of grabbing a particular symbol and editing it (even if there is the occasional tradeoff of having to adjust all hundred of them). I do need to play around with symbol libraries - this client has a solid enough set of styles that they'd be a good test case. (I used to work with xrefs in AutoCAD so generally get the concept).

  • IMovie, PNG, Picture in Picture

    I saw a great article on using PNG files to create transparent logos that you can include as a picture-in-picture. No matter what I do, I always end up with a black background instead of a transparent background. I've used both CMYK and RGB PNG images, and I have the same problem. I exported it as a PNG straight from the Illustrator file; I've tried opening that in Photoshop CS4 and converting it to a PNG8 file. No luck either way. The problem seems to be when it is imported to iPhoto, as that is when the background goes from transparent to black. But, I don't know another way to import a still photo to iMovie. Any help would be appreciated.

    I appreciate this is a really old post, but having just experienced the same problem myself this afternoon (despite never having had a problem in the past with around 50 previous projects!) I thought I would post the solution I got to work.
    Despite saving the image I wanted to use as a .png file with a transparent background, as soon as I imported it into iMovie and clicked the fill option (so that all of the image would appear), the black background reappeared. Doing a little research on the Internet, I discovered this was unavoidable because of how iMovie interprets the 'fit' and 'crop' commands, despite having a play with some of the settings within the 'Project Properties' window. I also tried re-sizing the water mark as suggested by someone on YouTube to match the 'picture in picture' box within iMovie, which is 175 x 85px but still no good! The image was also really poor quality, despite saving it using hi-res settings.
    After tearing my hair out for the best part of 2.5 hours, I finally found a solution! The video I was working on had been recorded in HD and I work on a 16:9 wide screen (Mac book Pro 17" with retina display). The only way I could get my .png water marks to display correctly (without the black background) was to start with a blank canvas (using PS CS3) with the same dimensions (I used 1920 x 1080 and not 1440 x 990). Upon saving each file as a 24 bit .png and dropping it into iMovie using the 'picture in picture' option, they displayed correctly. If the image was too small because of it being placed on such a large background, I simply added the image, then cropped the background to suit.
    I've never had to mess around with water marks like this before, but it seemed to do the trick???

  • How do I get images to automatically center in a picture box?

    How do I get images to automatically center in a picture box (e.g. place a picture box on a master page and set it so that any image placed inside will automatically center, but not scale)? This was a simple procedure in CS5 (set "Fitting Options" to 'center' by clicking on the center box in the 9-box centering tool) but seems to have disappeared in CS6/CC. Am I missing something?

    Hi and thanks. Actually, my problem is with setting the properties of the image frame to 'align center' before an image is placed, allowing me to place large numbers of images and having them automatically center instead of me centering each one manually. Even when I create an object style the frame will not hold any alignment settings and apply them to the image being placed (unless some manner of scaling has been chosen, which is not something I want). There are work-arounds I have used but it would be nice to be able to just put a picture box on a master page, set it to align it's contents to the center and just be done with it . Thanks though.

  • Is there a way to change an interactive text field back into a picture box?

    I'm working on recreating an interactive form and I mistakenly made a picture box a text field when I should have turned it into a regular text box.
    I can't seem to find a way to change it back.
    All my boxes are lined up and sized perfectly right now, so I'd rather not have to re-draw the box and re-align and measure everything again if I can avoid it.

    Select text field with Selection tool. Object > Interactive > Convert to Object. Place your picture into the frame.

    picture size...in putting together a book I can move photos onto a page and enlarge the picture but is there a way to reduce the picture size? some cases I want a smaller picture and if I change the size of the picture box I only get a portion of the image. I want to reduce the image to fit the size of the box.

    If you right click on the image on the page in the context menu select photo box alignment and then select one of scale to fit {centered, Left-aligned, Right-aligned}
    That should do what you are loking for.

    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.

  • Box Layout problems

    Hello,
    I am having difficulty with my box layouts in my form applet.
    I have a JFrame with two panels. The left panel will allow the user to enter some parameters via text boxes, drop down menus, etc for a shape, which will appear on the right panel.
    To arrange the form entry boxes on the left panel, I implemented a box layout. Here is where my trouble lies. I am not sure if I am using them correctly.
    In the left panel, I added a box objectentitled entrySideBox, which has a createVerticalBox() orientation. I further added 7 boxes to this box layout, which had a createHorizontalBox() orientation. I have the form elements within the array of horizontal boxes. In summary, I hoped to create a box layout column with 7 horizontal rows to house the form entry elements.
    Can I do this with the Box Layout? My form elements do not appear to be appearing as expected!
    I have my code below. What is wrong?

    The problem with GridLayout is the form elements sizes
    change relative to the size of the panel. I want the
    form elements to remain in a consistent state.
    Should I quit using the box layout?Ok, try to set the layout of the upper content pane to BorderLayout and place the left panel with your components in the WEST part of it (the panel for the drawings goes to CENTER). I don't know if this will produce the result that you want, but it's an idea.
    You should use a GridLayout for this panel and only
    specify 2 columns (don't specify the number of rowsor
    the number of columns will be ignored, see theclass
    documentation for further details).
    Hope this helps,
    Pierre2 Columns? For what?The first column is for the labels (e.g. "Select Font Color") and the second is for the input component (e.g. textarea).

  • How to change picture box into sentence

    I need to make 3 picture boxes disappear when one of them is clicked and a sentence to appear in their place. For example if picture box 1 is clicked they all three disappear and the sentence "you have chosen picture box 1 appears"

    Put a label and three pictureboxes on your form from the Toolbox.
    The code below alters the label for the name of a picturebox clicked on and the picturebox's "disappear". Clicking on the label will make the label text return to "Waiting" and the picturebox's will "reappear". The label is
    centered in the form whenever its text is changed.

  • Can InDesign recognise a URL from a PDF within a picture box?

    I want to find out if InDesign can recognise a URL from a PDF which I have pulled into a picture box?
    We are using InDesign and DPS to create magazine apps from PDF pages, a lot of these pages have a lot of URL's which we need live in the app. At the moment we create a hyperlink box, open the pdf from the links window and cut and paste each URL into each hyperlink box.
    Is this the only way or are we missing something??
    Thanks,
    B

    Is there any sort of workaround?
    I was thinking, is there a way to pull the URL's from the pdf's (before importing into InDesign) and then adding them into some sort of list in InDesign, then use the Hyperlinks panel to select the correct URL for the correct Hyperlink box??

  • Applying color to picture boxes with siloed images

    I have picture boxes that contain photos that were siloed in photoshop.
    When I place in InDesign, I want to put a color in back of the image. When I try the color sits on top of the image as well as filling the background
    please advise.
    thanks

    You should be able to colour the picture frame without affecting the silhouette. Select the frame with the Selection tool (black arrow) and pick a fill colour.
    If that's not working for you then perhaps a screen shot showing what you see will help us help you. The image must be hosted online somewhere (not here). I like Photobucket.com, but there's also Flickr and imageshack. once uploaded, enter the HTML to show the image in a new reply.
