IMovie Still Pic Show Problem

I'm newbie. Doing 85 slide show for 120 people next week. Show is done & copied to dvds for distribution but it will be shown at the remote site by an (unkown) XGA or SVGA projector and I'd like to use higher res for those greatly enlarged pics. Pics are show organized/tweaked in iPhoto to B&W. Then brought to iMovie where I've Ken Burns, dissolves, some specials, titled and laid sound. After learning this work flow and stopping corrections, crashes stopped. Now, however, want to show from iMovie to SVGA or XGA projector using untested Pro notebook. Rendering with high settings yields nice effects, sound and titles but v. poor photo quality. Using like Mpeg4 gives better photos but poor titles, sound, jerkiness. Any help?? Should I just try to run native? Want to use remote during church service. Thanks.

Guess everyone is on vacation already... Anyway, fiddling around, if anyone has the same problem, I found that the Sorenson3 compiler does the best job of what is needed.

  • Unnerving problem: I cannot reliably save the time I want a still to show (in iMovie '11/v. 9.0.4/build 1634). Has anyone found a way to get around this bug?

    My problem comes up in iMovie ’11 (v. 9.0.4/build 1634) and has done so from the beginning of my using the software.
    I want to determine the length of time that I want a a still to show (in the context of stills and movie clips). However, I cannot reliably save the still’s length of time showing.
    That applies to all stills: I doesn’t matter if I change the length of time individually for each still or check the box for »all clips«.
    This looks like a veritable bug, doesn’t it? Has anyone found a way to get around it?

    I assume you are using transitions. This is not a bug - it is how iMovie handles transitions.
    There are two settings for transition overlap - full and half. If you are using photos only, you may get the results you want by setting transition overlap to half.
    For full details, see iMovie Help here on Transition Overlap.

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.

  • A number of imported photos from iphoto in imovie project all show the same image whilst the preview before dragging them in is correct. What could be the problem?

    A number of photos from iphoto used in imovie project all show the same image when playing back. The previw when clicking and dragging them and also the pictures in the storyline. Yet when playing the clip a previous immage keeps on appearing. What could be the problem?

    You created a mess and there is no solution - with the actions you have taken those photos are gone unless you have access to them from some other source - they existed in two place - in your iPhoto library and on your backup drive - you have traded the backup drive and restore an earlier iPhoto library so all you have is what you have

    If you select one month for mail days to sync, only one month's worth will be synced and available - the last month which will be constantly changing to the most recent 30 days. Select No Limit for Mail Days to Sync.
    Show 1000 recent messages is for the selected mailbox only and if there are more than 1000 messages in a mailbox and you have one month for mail days to sync selected, if the last 30 days for the mailbox includes 100 messages, only 100 messages will be available.
    Are these additional server stored mailboxes separate mailboxes and what I mean by that is not sub-mailboxes for the Inbox mailbox?
    Since you have had this issue with other operating systems, the common denominator is your Hotmail account. Have you contacted Hotmail technical support regarding this issue you have had with other operating systems?
    All server stored mailboxes with an Exchange account should be available with the email client used to access the account. If all are not available when accessing the account as an Exchange account with an email client, something is wrong with your setup for these mailboxes at the server level.

  • Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly it and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be pl

    Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly the drone and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos , sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be played . Checking the info shows that each of the unplayed videos was saved in the same mp4 format as the playable ones yet some of my most important videos won't play . It's getting very frustrating .

    first; I use Perian, that helps even though it is no longer supported, (must have for avi files)
    the apple-cores at apple have gotten very sloppy -- quicktime is a bit finicky and flakey. 
      example,   occasionally (when copy file from quad's card to hard drive)  the avi will show up as a 'mov' file and qt plays it no problem and no conversion.
    but that is very occasionally,  most of the time qt won't convert the file,   -- iMovie won't open an avi without Perian installed  ,  I don't know how that effects qt.
    qt 7"pro" is no good either, (qt 10 does everything it does and for NOT the extra $35)  
    I have gone to VLC  and MPlayerX  for direct playback for drones and cameras.  

  • Imovie: i am having problems sizing my image

    I can see all the image in full, - until i drag it into project area, then in the view window the image is too large and is cut in half.
    i have adjusted the PAL size . large full view etc..

  • I purchased and in-app download and have a receipt but it is still not showing, so where is it?

    I purchased an in-app download for Little generals and have a receipt, but it is still not showing up. Ive tried all the usual sign in then back out...shutting on and off but none of this works. The file just seems that it does not exist even though they have already charged my credit card. So, WHAT GIVES???
    PS: And the people on the other end of the phone line seem to be completly clueless about their own products..

    If you don't have the Firefox button, you're using the classic view. To restore the new view of Firefox (Changed in Version 4):
    * View > Toolbars > Menubar [Uncheck]
    In Firefox 6 you can use this to clear your history/other offline content:
    Click on the Firefox button on top left part of your browser:
    * History > Clear Recent History
    There you can select what you want to clear.
    If you want to see the menu bar you can press alt on your keyboard so you can see file/view/...
    Also for activating it to always be there follow this (Classic view of Firefox):
    * Firefox > Options > Menu Bar
    Don't forget to hit the 'Solved it' button if this solved your problem so the topic will be closed.

  • I'm trying to share to Media Browser a 20 minute still slide show with music and text. I have tried several times to save at 1080 HD, but just before it's finished, a message box pops up saying "File already open with write permission."  What's this mean?

    I'm trying to finalize/share to Media Browser a 20 minute still slide show with music and text. I'd like to finalize it 1080 hd and have tried several times, but just before it's finished, a message box pops up saying it can't be done because "File already open with with write permission."  What does this mean?  All files are closed; this iMovie project is the only thing open.  Does it mean one of the song files from iTunes? And should I just settle for saving it as a "large" file, which is what I'm trying right now?
    Thanks,

  • Imported Slide Show Problems

    I imported a slide from Photoshop Elements 7.0 into Premiere Elements 7.0. I did get an error that .jpg files could not be imported into Premiere. Some .jpgs showed and some did not. Any suggestion?
    Also, text titles I added in Photoshop are very blurry in Premiere. Can someone help me understand why and how to correct?
    Thanks,
    Gary

    Steve,
    I did a batch processing of over 2000 jpgs in 7 slide shows to 1000x750 and this seemed to work better.
    I am still having text problems. The titles applied to each jpg in the slide shows are clear in Photoshop Elements 7 but are blurry but readable when imported into Premiere Elements 7.
    Further, I have blank slides that are black background with white text in each slide show. These are clear in Photoshop but blurry but readable when imported into Premiere Elements 7.
    I took a suggestion and imported a slide show into PE7 and then exported it to a DV AVI file. When I brought it back up and viewed it, the text titles on the jpgs and the white text on the black slides were still blurry but readable. I viewed the AVI in two separate programs, the pictures look OK but the text is not crisp and clear.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Imovie is not showing my videos from iPhoto

    Hi, i have uploaded some videos from my iPhone to macbook in iPhoto. I want to edit them in iMovie but cannot find my videos in the library, but my pictures are there. The videos usually come up and i have the option to use whichever ones i want. Please can you help me. Thanking you in advance x

    After calling Apple (they were no help and I was disappointed) I kept searching in the Apple support community and found the answer. 
    To get iMovie '11 to show the iPhoto videos under the event library on the bottom left of iMovie, you simply have to empty your iPhoto trash.  Once the trash was emptied, I restarted iMovie and the problem was fixed after iMovie did a search and showed the thumbnails of the videos. 
    Again, this info came from another person on the support community.  Hope this helps someone else.

  • Combining video with still pics

    Hello.
    I want to create a movie where I've input video, then cut back and forth between the video and some still pics but utilizing the soundtrack from the video all the while having the uninterrupted soundtrack from the video play...make sense?
    Any suggestions would be very grateful.
    Thanks!
    Mike

    Hello, Michael,
    What you want to do is 'Paste Over at Playhead' each of your still photos onto the video track so that the photo replaces the video, but not the audio. It works great and you can easily do this by following the directions in your iMovie Help file.
    Basically, you put your movie into the 'Timeline' view and then split the video at the point where you want the photo to start and thenThe audio will appear underneath the video track.
    You then put the photos over the clip and the movie will play the video and audio with the photo in it instead of that video clip.
    Here are the instructions from the Help:
    +*Inserting video clips or photos in a passage while maintaining running audio*+
    +You can paste a new video clip or photo over an existing clip while retaining the audio from the original clip. The video cuts away to a new picture, but you continue to hear the sound from the original clip.+
    +To replace images in a clip while maintaining running audio:+
    +Choose iMovie HD > Preferences, and then click General.+
    +Select the "Extract audio when using Paste Over at Playhead" checkbox.+
    +Select the video or photo that you want to insert.+
    +Choose Edit > Cut or Copy.+
    +Do one of the following:+
    +To paste the entire video you selected in step 3, position the playhead at the first frame to be replaced. When you paste the clip, it will replace a portion of video equal to its length.+
    +To paste over a specific segment of your movie, select the part of the video clip you want to paste over. (To learn more about selecting part of a video clip, see Related Topics below.)+
    +If the video you're pasting is longer than the selected frame range, the excess video will not be pasted. If the video you're pasting is shorter than the selected frame range, the extra space will be filled with a color clip (or the still image, if you paste a still image).+
    +Choose Advanced > "Paste Over at Playhead."+
    +The audio track of the original video is retained and appears in audio track 1 of the timeline viewer.+
    Post back if this does not work

  • I'm having some problems wiht Firefox, for example; Youtube isn't loading right, Facebook won't let me send messages, search up people, and this website i made wont load right also. I've re-installed and updated it but still the same problems. Any help?

    I'm having some problems wiht Firefox, for example; Youtube isn't loading right, Facebook won't let me send messages, search up people, and this website i made wont load right also. I've re-installed and updated it but still the same problems. Any help?

    Because I know enough to be dangerous...  I was trying to extend the two outside columns down....  Instead of just using faux columns which I have fixed since I posted the question.
    The other link problem is the left sidebar links.  When you go to the event photos page I have a repeat of the sidebar links that are on the newsletter page.  I used named anchors on the newsletter page to link to the particular article.  From the Event Photos page the links look like this:
    <a href="1112Visions_Iss1.html/#puzzle" target="_self">[Puzzle]</a>
    The problem I am having is that some of these go to the newsletter page and the anchor and some do not (I get an error message saying it  can't find the page).  To add to the problem is that when we choose say the President's Message, when it goes to the newsletter page and the correct anchor, the newsletter page is missing all the links to the graphics... the photos are missing the graphic for the faux columns is missing.  It makes no sense.  When I preview the newsletter page from Dreamweaver everything shows up fine.
    I do not know if all of this is being caused because I haven't posted this stuff to the site or what.  I've tried re-booting both the browser and Dreamweaver, dumping the cache and still the same nonsense.
    Got any ideas?
