IMovie HD making title pages

hi,
I am sorry, I can't find anything with this new forum!!!
I am trying to make some 'slides' so to speak to insert into an imovie.
It will contain text and some jpeg logos.
Can anyone tell me how to do this? thank you much!!!

You need to make some photos with the same resolution as the movie you are creating, ie 640 x 480, 1280 x 720 or whatever. They can potentially be larger, but avoid them being smaller and definitely ensure the aspect ratio is the same.
There are lots of applications you could do this in such as photoshop or pixelmator, but if what you want is fairly simple you might try something like pages.

Foreign language fonts for iMovie title pages and captions

I would like to write title pages and captions i iMovie in the Polish language.
Typically, characters that are specific to the Polish language are entered by using the alt key and the letter that is to be accented. This doesn't seem to work in iMovie.
How can these special accented letters be entered in iMovie title pages and captions?

Typically, characters that are specific to the Polish language are entered by using the alt key and the letter that is to be accented. This doesn't seem to work in iMovie.
Did you go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and check the box for the Polish keyboard layout, and then select it in the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder? Which key does what can be seen using Keyboard Viewer.
Try Lucida Grande if the font does not have the necessary characters.

How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when opening the program to digitize new clips for new project. i have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what to disable.

How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when first opening the program to digitize new clips for a new project. It takes forever for it and is very annoying. I have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what would disable this problem.

You do not need to move your cursor much when pressing the mouse button to cause the tab to tear-off/tear-away into a new tab. No "sensitivity" setting that I am aware of. The tab in the new window can be dragged back to the original window.
To disable the feature, install this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t/

How do I have the audio of a clip play underneath a black title page?

I have a project where I am asking a couple the same question seperately. I have a black title page that writes out the interviewer's question for 2 seconds, but while the title page is displayed, I would like to hear interviewer asking the question (without seeing the footage). How do I place a black title page in front of a clip so only the audio plays while the title page is running?
THANK YOU!

The simplest way would be to
0) In iMovie/Preferences make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
1) Add your tite to the movie.
2) Find the event clip that contains the audio and select the portion that you need. Drag it to the project and drop it on the Title. A pop-up menu should appear. Choose "Audio Only".
There are other ways as well if this does not work for you.

Menu/Title page of DVD blurry

I have a new MacBookPro and just tried to burn my first DVD in iDVD8.
I used 7.0 Themes - Centerstage.
When I playback the DVD, the text on the main menu/title page looks fuzzy.
Not crisp like in iDVD.
I checked the DVD on:
'08 MacBookPro, 1440x900x32bit
'09 iMac, 1680x1050x32bit
When I play the DVD full screen, it looks fuzzy.
If I shrink the window to 1/4 of the screen size, it then looks OK.

Hi
Way out of my doing HD 16x9 but any how I got a list on DVD quality - read and
see if You find anything of use.
*DVD quality*
1. iDVD 08 & 09 has three levels of qualities.
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality (movies up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
2. From
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not selfcontaining, no conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly eg x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with (Apple) Disk Util tool.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc).
5. Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW)
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
8. Don’t burn more than three DVD at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while befor next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JESDeinterlacer3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are plabacked by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choise)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
Region codes.
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
1 = US
2 = EU

Anyone know a way around iMovie's inadequate title capabilities?

i'm new to mac and this is my first time using iMovie. i want to create a title and my title is longer than a few words (it is a sentence). in iMovie, the only title setting that allows me to break up my title into multiple lines (like you would a textbox) that are actually readable is "Far Far Away". I do not want this crazy animation on my title though. All other title options make me put my entire title on one line, making it tiny and unreadable.
Anyone know a way around this?
MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Yes, my title plug-ins work with iMovie 2 through 6.
For Intel-Macs, you need to run through Rosetta, as they are not Universal Binary.
Unfortunately, there is no easy way to compile them for Intel as they are built using CodeWarrior according to the old SDK model. (SDK=Software Development Kit, which is Apple's "interface" for programming). Compiling for Intel-Mac requires XCode and a heavy re-write of the code, since the XCode SDK has a different structure than the CW one.

Default title page - lost horiz. line

I'm using Robohelp X5.0.2 to generate CHM and DOC files. All
our printed docs use the "default title page" from RH (I know we
could add our own, but we like the simple life.) The other half
dozen projects I've done all have a horizontal line across the
title page under the document title, but the line's missing from my
latest project -- in fact we generate two DOCs from the project,
and neither get the line, just the unadorned title.
If I open another project and generate the DOC, the line's
there just fine. Having one set of DOCs look different is not going
down well.
.... thinking ....
Ah, just found the solution ... the default.css file had
entries for Title and for TitlePageTitle. Deleting those got my
beautiful line back
Posting this anyway as a reminder.

Hi,
I'll try to give this to you gently, your CSS is a complete mess!
Having gotten that off my chest, add the following to your main document and you will have introduced new problems, but at least you will have your scrollbars back again.
.container {
    left: auto;
    position: static;
What the above does is undo the relative position of the container.
My advice is to get rid of ALL of your absolute and relative positioning and allow the design to follow the normal flow of the document. In your case you have got a very simple layout namely
HTML
BODY
SIDEBAR
CONTENT
SIDEBAR
Which will make your html markup look similar to the following
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style>
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
html {
    background: #3C2221;
    height: 100%
body {
    width: 1000px;
    height: 100%
#wrapper {
    background: url(images/header.jpg) no-repeat;
#lsidebar {
    width: 102px;
    float: left;
    background: url(images/sideBar.jpg) no-repeat right;
    height: 725px;
#content {
    width: 640px;
    float: left;
    background: url(images/header.jpg) no-repeat;
    height: 725px;
#rsidebar {
    width: 258px;
    float: left;
    background: url(images/sideBar.jpg) no-repeat;
    height: 725px;
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
    <div id="lsidebar"></div>
<div id="content">
</div>
<div id="rsidebar"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
If you now place the sliding panels into the content section, making sure that there is a top margin to escape the header, all will be well.

IMovie 8 and Titles?? Plz Help

How do you get a title for iMovie to go in the middle of a video clip. I like making youtube videos and would like to explain what certain things are is in the video.. but the problem is whenever i drag a title to the middle of a clip it does not put the title in... If there is any way of doing i would like to do it.
I find that if you put the title at the end and drag it to the clip point you want it works but it take way to much time
i do not know if i have to save anything but i would enjoy this because out of the whole imovie 08 the titles are the coolest part the app.
Thanks for Reading this if you know anything plz reply
-Nick

Drag the title to the top of the middle of the clip. Drag it to where you want the title to start. Then you can click on the title to give it focus and you can adjust the end point by dragging the right side of the title as a handle.

I use iBookAuthor to make a textbook for my students; I revised it, including title page, but when I export it and upload it to my iPad, the old title page appears, even though I've deleted the older version of the text before I upload the new one.

Last year I produced a textbook using iBookAuthor for my students. I exported it as an iBook and they uploaded it to their iPads. This year, I revised it, including revising the title page. However, when I upload the new version, the old title page is shown, not the new one. I deleted the older version of the textbook before I did this. I've been told that I can cut and paste each revised chapter into a new template and that will work; however, title page and glossary can't be cut and pasted. Any thoughts for getting the entire new version on the iPad? I'm also told that if it is uploaded to an iPad that never had a previous version of this textbook, it will upload correctly. But my iPad has had several older versions, now deleted.

I had a similar issue when trying to create an iBook file to submit for course credit for one of the Apple Learning Essentials classes I took. I had a book I'd started previously which I updated and submitted, and then had to make some edits to for the course evaluator. I made the edits, and when I previewed the book in iBooks Author, it looked correct, but whatever I sent to him only showed some of the edits - for example a new page I created was there, but some edits I made to image captions and the title page image were not.
What worked for me was to do a "Save as" of the actual Author file to a totally new location (I used the Desktop), and then submit that file - which seemed to work in terms of the changes sticking. I even used the same file name.
I'm not sure if some similar action might help you (maybe change the file name slightly?) or if you've already tried something like this.
Still doesn't change the fact that this is a pretty irritating bug.

How do I change the size or orientation of the Title Page in iBook Author

I'd like to customize the shape and size of the Title Page in my book, I noticed that many books have custome sized Title Pages (one example is the free iBook The Yellow Submarine).

The 'Book Title' page in iBooks Author – top of the list in the Book sidebar – is fixed in size and orientation. What you are seeing with customized cover graphics are covers independently created and uploaded through iTunes Producer. - Fabe

Need help making photo page look clean,Time to show up on Google? Photoshop

Just bought this Mac 2 days ago and am trying to make the switch. I was computer illeterate on my Dell as well but so far this program is pretty neat. I am trying to get my photo page cleaned up. I would like all the photos in a single row across the page with only one photo displayed underneath. I have seen a few demos with that done but I cannot figure it out. Ideally a slideshow would start automatically but I really just want a cleaned up page vs. a blob of photos.
My site is http://www.greasysideup.com
The picture demo is here http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb/#album - the scuba picture on the far right of the iweb showcase is the look I am going for.
Additionally how long does it take to show up on a google search? I am following one of the listings on here on how to do that. On the google search pages there is a brief description of the page as well, I believe it is the title page. How do I make Google say how cool my site is? if it ever shows up on google?
Last question - is there a program on my Mac similar to photoshop? I want to do some simple 3-d looking text angled slightly as if it is coming out of the screen with my name and the name of my business.
The other thing I want to do is take this picture, make the background black and make the planes orange or red then put those in the background on one of the pages.
/Users/joshwilson/Downloads/Yak50_profile.jpg
(I need to learn to post a jpg in the forums as well I guess!!) The photo is the last one on my website photo page labeled Yak 50_profile. I want to make the background black and the outline orange.
Thanks for all the help. This site is great! I think I'll be glad I made the Mac Switch.

I am looking for an App that gives me some graphics to title pages and margins in word documents

I am looking for an App that gives me some graphics for Word 2011 title pages, and margins. A range of screen backgrounds for the page would be useful as my word documents are sent mostly online. ...appropriate for business topics.

I use documents to go and find that it works very will. It also has a desktop program that will allow for wifi syncing of documents outside of iTunes. It, like any app, won't have all the bells and whistles and formatting goodies of a full fledged program, but it does have basic formatting (bold, underline, italics, indents)
I don't think it comes with many fonts, but the iPad itself doesn't have a lot of fonts either.

Header/Footer Appearing on Title Page

Hello,
In RoboHelp 11, every time I generate Printed Documentation (Word), my master page header/footer appears on the Title Page. It doesn't appear on RoboHelp's default title page, but it appears when I use a topic as a Title Page or when I navigate to a Word doc Title Page in Print Document Section Layout.
In the Print Document General - Content section, Multiple Header/Footer, <Default Title Page>, I select <None> for First Page (Apply to all pages in the section).
In the Print Document Section Layout, I thought RoboHelp automatically rendered anything placed above the TOC as the Title Page, but for some reason, it's seeing my Topic Title Page and/or Word doc Title Page as just another page in the document and adding the header/footer to it.
I think the last version of RoboHelp I used awhile back was 8 or 9, but I don't recall ever having this trouble adding a Title Page to a Printed document.
Please help me troubleshoot this.
Thank you!

You may also find looking at the Employee Care 2 sample project useful as that describes how to use the new print layout.

How do you number pages but start the numbering on the second page, while omitting the page number from the first page (my title page)

I have recently changed from Word to Pages 5.5. I want to create a document with a title page (no number) and the second page as Page 1. It is quite simple to do in Word, but I cannot find a way to do it in Pages.

Hi Ryanlipp;
Insert a section break
Place cursor in the newly created section (page)
     In the Document panel:
select Insert page number: 1.
Under Numbering, select start at: 1
                 It starts numbering from number 1 in the new page (2nd page).
Now place the cursor in the previous page (Ist page).
Select Hide on first page section.
                 This hides page number in the first page of the document.
I hope, this is what you are after.
Regards,

I'm creating a book format in Pages. I want the page count to be 1 on the first page of chapter one after the title page, table of contents, etc.. How do I do that?

I'm creating a book format in Pages. I want the page count to be 1 on the first page of chapter one after the title page, table of contents, etc.. How do I do that?

That is not the issue.
Pages/OSX does not save files with crop marks and bleeds.
It also by default saves transparency, which is involved in a lot of Pages' better features, at a rubbishy 72 dpi resolution.
It also makes it extremely difficult to maintain mono-color like black only text, has no spot color and makes color management opaque.
It really is only meant for amateur publishing and printing to your desktop printer.
A commercial printer who is willing to use and print from Pages may have better results but at the cost of considerable micro-management which defeats the point of this "cheap" solution.
