Imovie themes help!

does anyone know of any other aftermarket themes for imovie other than Eyecandy? any help would be appreciated

Wow, that's weird. It's like iMovie is grabbing a combination of window images from the Mac screen — note the progress bar in the background — then tripling that image.
Be sure to disable any third-party iMovie plug-ins or QuickTime plug-ins, discussed here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1852869#1852869
Do you have any third-party RAM installed? As a last resort you might try pulling all RAM sticks except for the one(s) that came with your Mac.
The utility MemTest does a pretty good job of testing RAM too, I believe. You may want to run that before going to the work of pulling RAM. It can be downloaded at VersionTracker.com.
Have you tried a variety of images? Some smaller, some larger. (Their pixel dimensions.) Are yours very large?
Same problem with a normal DV project, NOT Widescreen?

Can't center Pics on Imovie Theme design

Unlike the Theme options in IDVD, where with the "editing" hand a picture can be moved so that it's centered in the design of the frame, I can't seem to do this with the new Imovie Theme options. I am dropping my pics into the slots but some of the pics are out of allignment. Anybody know if that's a glitch in the program or if I need to somehow go back into Iphoto and re-crop my pic and hope that it will drop into the drop zone the way I want? Thanks for your help!

I think, I have a similar problem! I crop a photo in iMovie and then I put it in a theme, for example the "passage" theme. In the theme the photo is displayed at its full resolution. That means, you see only a piece of the photo. Perhaps it is only a problem when you work with 1080i resolution, because in DV I didnt notice this problem.

IMovie themes not rendering

I have a brand new iMac Core2Dou, with data transfered via Migration Assistant. When Im using the iMovie themes and hit apply it doesnt do anything and the black line dont fill with red. My previous CoreDuo iMac worked fine. Any help for me?

Hi L
This is out of my experience but You have done the most obvious I hope.
- delete the iMovie pref file
- run: Repair permissions (Apple Disk Util tool)
- start from another hard disk or CD/DVD then
run: Repair hard disk (Apple Disk Util tool)
- start a new account and log into this and re-try.
Try one at a time and see if it works.
Q:
- How much free space is there on Your int hard disk
- Is there any ext devices connected
- Mac OS X.4.8, iMovie v. 6.0.3 ? and QuickTime version (7.1.3) ?
- Did You put in any third party plug-ins to iMovie or into QT ?
- is you Mac as "factory delivered"?
- or did you install a new iLife version?
- or did you de-install any files/apps, e.g. using "Multilingual" etc. pp
(from Karsten)
- other programs that interferes like :
< Unsanity APE >
< FileVault > etc.
Sequre that there are at least 20Gb free space on the internal hard disk.

Imovie themes taking a long time

OK, imovie themes are taking like 30 minutes to work. So far it hasen't even finished rendering. Whats the deal? Anyone having the same issue? It gets to the very last part of rendering, to where the whole bar is red and then it sits there. Help me out guys.
Sincerely,
John Cook

yes it does take a while, but then it has a lot to do... , rendering the daily rushes for the Lord of the Rings used to take overnight in London and ready on an iPod Drive for viewing next day New Zealand. I dont think they used iMovie.....
I had thought iLife 05 was not great, but 06 is much better(except iWeb) but then I ramped up the RAM last week
interesting,I previewed the reply before posting and noticed, I had a word beginning with H rhyming with Tell and it came up with four stars...!! I replaced it with not great....

IMovie Themes have disappeared!...

I have made many DVDs happily with iMovie.
When I started a new project today, however, all the menu themes had dissapeared for no discernable reason.
Only the "Travel" option is now available.
I've tried looking through the preferences etc. and cannot find any way of opening them again. The help option makes no mention of the problem, either.
I am running iLife '06 on Leopard...
I have since tried deleting the application and reloading it from the disc, but still have only the travel Themes available.
Does Final Cut Express utilise Themes in the same way?

iMovie Themes have disappeared!
Do you mean iMovie Themes or iDVD themes?
If you go to these locations on your hard drive do you see the themes?
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD/
User/Library/Application Support/iDVD/
Does Final Cut Express utilise Themes in the same way?
No it does not.

Create your own iMovie theme

Has anyone figured out a way to customize the iMovie themes? I was able to do this with the Leopard Mail stationery and create my own. Was interested in doing the same with iMovie, or even iPhoto in a pinch. Any suggestions?

hope this feature wiill be update soon...
thanks

How do I get additional iMovie Themes?

Is there any way to get or make additional themes for iMovie 6? I particularly like the Brushscript them in iDVD, but this is not one of the themes that comes with iMovie.
Is there a way to modify the iDVD theme for iMovie, or to make a similar one for iMovie?
Or are there any third-party theme offerings for iMovie 6?

There are themes available now:

not sure if this link was working a couple weeks ago when this thread was created, but I found this looking for the answer to the same question.
These were the only themes I found that will work with the Intel Macs.
Also I am looking to find info on creating "your own iMovie themes" and only found a link on the boards here to one hack that really didn't get too deep into changing things.

When i import movies from my iPhoto app to my iMovie app does it make a copy (thereby using double the hard disk space) or does it link to my iPhoto app? The reason i ask is i want to archive all my videos from iPhoto/iMovie. HELP!

When i import movies from my iPhoto app to my iMovie app does it make a copy (thereby using double the hard disk space) or does it link to my iPhoto app? The reason i ask is i want to archive all my videos from iPhoto/iMovie. Do i need to archive the movies in iPhoto AND iMovie? HELP!

Hi - I'm having the same problem with freeing up space on the HD. If I can't free space if I'm using any part of the clip, how can I split up the clips so that I can discard the part I won't use? This is crazy! I have only 4 GB of free space left!
Also, I've tried to transfer the project file to my external HD but I keep getting an error saying I can't transfer it. I've been told this is because I don't have enough space on the HD for the transfer. I tried a similar transfer with another computer with plenty of HD space but the same error occurred. Is there a way to break up the project file into small pieces for the transfer (I'm thinking the whole movie file is just too big)?
Thanks for any info!

I backed up by phone and now icloud is not showing my pictures over 1400 of them help

I backed my phone up and now icloud is not showing my pictures over 1400 of them. help?

Why do you believe this is true?
If you had PhotoStream turned on and your photos were syncing to it, PhotoStream holds the last 30 days worth of photos (up to 1000 photos maximum) in the cloud and they should sync back to the phone. Any photos taken more than 30 days ago and any photos greater than the 1000 photo capacity of PhotoStream, will have already been purged from the cloud and are no longer available for download.
IF you had photostream turned on, it stands to reason that you probably also had iCloud backups turned on, in which case you should be able to wipe the phone (settings>General>Resets>Erase all content and Settings) and restore it from your most recent iCloud backup.

Black Squares in iMovie themes

Little iMovie theme problem here.
I have iMovie (iLife '11) installed on my iMac and it works fine. This weekend I installed iMovie on my MBP too. But when my wife tried to apply a theme to her movie (the holy communion of her niece if your wondering ;-) the above happened. Parts of the theme (Scrapbook) where black. Same goes for all themes.
When I opened the iMovie app (show package contents) I found that this also showed in the Resources folder. Where on my iMac they showed correctly. I thought I could solve this by replacing her Resources folder with the one from my iMac, but that didn't do the trick.
Anyone any ideas?

Thnx for your suggestion Braden!
Unfortunately this didn't do the trick.
The app isn't bought via the App Store so I couldn't temove it via LaunchPad. I used App Zapper to delete it and then used the iLife '11 DVD to install iMovie alone.
Then I upgraded to 9.0.9 but to no avail. It keeps showing the black bar.
Here's how the Theme looks on my iMac (in iMovie > Resources).
And in Quartz Composer Visualizer
No black bars…
When I look up this file in iMovie > Rescources on my MBP it looks like the above, but with the black squares as the pic in my first post.

IMovie themes - when will we get more

Im already bored of the measly 5 themes available to the iMovie app, when or how can we get more?
I heard that using a Mac with iMovie may allow this, but im a PC desktop user so cannot make my own if its possible.

I have ended up buying a MacBook Pro which is no doubt what Apple wanted all along, tempted in with limited features on the iPad/iPhone and end up buying the whole shabang.
Im still dissapointed with limited themes on the MacBook too, if you do a lot of video you quickly work through whats there and start repeating styles.
A great feature at some point in the iMovie timeline for be for programmers/designers to be able to have a tool to make new iMovie themes, one must exist at Apple so why not turn it into a purchasable app for the MacBook/iPad and get us all buying yet another Apple product to better our media production.

Great news, thanks, but don't knock yourself, it's easy to miss and/or accidently drag it to the bottom... I did & took me awhile to figure it out!

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.
