IMovie v10 stretches photos... iMovie '11 (v9) works fine

Hi support community...
I have just been upgraded to iMovie v10. Photos that are in an iMovie v9 project that has been 'updated' seem to be stretched. I've played with fit and crop in v10 and no change in aspect - all remained stretched. The original v9 settings were cropped with Ken Burns, and cross image transitions applied to some (xfade, etc.).
The same project opened in V9 still fine... hallelujah!
New projects created in v10 with photos displayed with ken Burns is fine, no stretching.
Does anyone know how the update process can be completed without streching the aspect of the photos? The only alternative is to keep v9 for old projects and create new projects with v10.... a little cumbersome!
Any thoughts would be gratefully received.
Kind regards,
Dave.

Hi Geoff,
Thanks for your interest.
Only photos appear stretched, movies look fine - it definitely looks like the photos are 'fitted' not 'cropped' even though I am using Ken Burns on all photos in
The project output aspect ratio in v9 is 16:9 PAL 25 fps, and in v10 it's 1080p HD. However, if I create a new video project in v10 with the same photos, it appears fine, photos are "ken burns'ed" perfectly, no stretching; only photos updated from v9 to v10 appear stretched in the updated v10 project.
The original photos are: 5184 x 3888 pixels (aspect ratio of: 4:3) jpegs.
Kind regards,
David.

Movie 11 can not copy everything and put it into a new project in imovie 9 it works fine

movie 11 can not copy everything and put it into a new project
in imovie 9 it works fine and there i cant copy 5 different project into new project
but in imovie 11 i only can copy project with option dubler project?

AppleMan Thanks very much for the information, however I could't make it work. I followed your instructions to the letter, in fact I tried every which-way. I created a dedicated file into which I copied and pasted the project from "package contents" but it was still greyed out when I went to retrieve it. I also found that the file size was reduced to only a few Kb. Any further step-by-step instructions would be appreciated as I am obviously doing something wrong. Babowa It appears that in imovie everything has to be "finalised" before it can be used or shared elsewhere in the same way as a disk has to be to be played elsewhere. Funnily enough an MOV file I converted to Mp4 was not greyed out and I was able to import it.... an exercise I am not keen on because of resolution loss during conversion

Hi, My photo stream used to work fine. But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC. They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini. It's just my PC

Hi,
My photo stream used to work fine. But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC. They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini. It's just my PC that's missing the photos.
When I open the iCloud control panel, I cannot turn on the photos. That option is ghosted. I'm running on Windows 7 with iCloud 3.0. Any ideas on how I can fix this? All help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Kevinmvb,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this. It sounds like you may have moved your photos out of the Uploads folder where they need to reside.

IMovie 6 was working fine and now it won't import.

I have started importing my vhs home movies and everything was almost fine and now it won't import at all. imovie stops at times. Sometimes when a tape was being imported I wouldn't get audio even with moving the volume bar but the audio was there with playback in imovie. I import a few clips, edit the starts and stops and share them with Quicktime. After I have them saved in Quicktime I copy them to an external hard drive and trash the originals. At times I can save them on the external without first saving them on the main hard drive and sometimes I can rename the clips. All of the problems mentioned above are just annoying ones but now.... I open imovie and select a new project, the imovie screen is light blue and it says that the camera is connected. In just a few seconds the screen turns a darker blue which then changes to the video I want to import with out the audio. When I click on "import" nothing happens.. no clip starts or anything. How do I get imovie working again?

I did what you said to do.. remove preference and repair permissions.. and imovie is still doing the same thing. I also deleted a preference named com.apple.IMovie.plist.saved. When I started having the import problem earlier I had checked the disk and repaired the permissions.
After I did what you said and IMovie was still not working I shut down the computer and took out the battery hoping that would work, but that didn't work either. Do you think it will work if somehow I uninstall IMovie and all things connected to it and reinstalled from the install dvd that came with the computer?
Thanks for your help.

How do I make a DVD from the latest version of iMovie? It worked fine before Maverick came out.

I just made my first iMovie in version 10.0 but can not find an export or share command to render it for iDVD. Any ideas?

How do I use the Facebook photo uploader with the new version of Firefox? I need to upload lots of photos, it used to work fine.

I can now only upload 5 photos at a time, and when I tried downloading the photo download software it said it wasn't supported by Firefox 3.6.6. Any ideas?

If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.images pref should be 1.

Audio not working in Photo Booth, video works fine

When I record video in Photo Booth the video works fine, the audio does not work. I have looked through other forums and tried what they have suggested but nothing is working. I sware it worked once but now I can't figure it out.

Lightroom 4. I have a large image (scanned) 10,000 X 14000 which does not Render when I try to print or export. Regular sized images work fine.

In Lightroom 4:Mac OS 10.6.8. I have an expecially large image (scanned) which is 10,000 X 14,000. I have edited it but when I try to print or export the image, it starts to "Rendering Page" but gets stuck and is unable to complete the task before it times out. When I use normal sized photo images (raw), it works fine. I suspect the problem is related to the size of the file. Is there some way I can reduce the size of the image while in Lightlroom? Or is there any other solution?

You originally posted on a thread that really wasn't related to your problem, so I branched the discussion.
Check the Windows System Event Viewer to see the details of the crash, most importantly the name of the faulting module.
Most crashes on Open or Save are due to OS bugs (especially on MacOS) or bugs in third party extensions to the OS open and save dialogs.

Suddenly, I am unable to add photos to my project in Imovie 11. I have an IMac Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and have made several movies where this worked fine but for some reason, it has quit. Everything seems to be working fine except that?

I'm an oldtimer and have had this Mac for less than 2 yrs and have LOTS to learn - but I've climbed the curve a little. !'ve made several movies and published to YouTube and burned to disc using IDVD with reasonably good results. Each time I have added stills to my movies it has worked fine - but tonight, I'm suddenly unable to add them. I click "Photos" - select my photo - left click the photo and drag into the project while holding the click. Have the green "+" and the green highlight and even get the green vertical bar in the project but when I release the click, the photo simply disappears! One "clue" here may be this: I was able to add one still to this project and the only diff between it and the other still thumbnails now is that there is a "green check mark" on the thumbnail of the one successfully added. Any suggestions? (I do have the "advanced tools" option selected in IMovie Preferences.)
Thank you so much for any help at all.

Hi
My first thoughts are
• iMovie ill behaving - Trash the iMovie pref file - use to set things right
• in reg. to Photos - Did You change iPhoto Photo Library - Then iMovie get's lost as it peeks into iPhoto on start up to see where photos are stored. Set iPhoto back to first Photo Library (when iMovie is not running) then start iMovie.

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this?

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.

The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.

The little grey camera icon ( IMovie) is not working or allowing me to open my photos. I have no problem inserting video. Just won't let me open my photos. Any ideas?

Actually, I upgraded to mac Osx I had iphoto,imovie, the whole work; However. After downloading Osx 10.5.8 it all went away and states that it's not compatible anymore.

Actually, I upgraded to mac Osx I had iphoto,imovie, the whole work; However. After downloading Osx 10.5.8 Only I photo would word, imovie would not work, my camera was not recognized. itunes was ok, After my system start having a problem I tried to re-download Mac Osx again, then I lost Imovie,iphoto, and itunes, recently I was able to get itunes back by downloading quicktime 7.7, in which i discovered through the support communities. Now I would like to
get imove, i photo if at all possible. I've read that by installing a hex something, that it works fine. But it seems to be complicated to install. Can I get some advise on this issue foe iBook G4 10.5.8? Let me know Apples are expensive. maybe it's time for a windows system. I've also heard that the refurbished mac are a piece of trash from some reviews.

You can't upgrade from Mac OS X 10.4 to Mac OS X 10.5 via a download. You would have to buy the DVD and upgrade that way.
Any applications that were using Classic emulation (OS 9 applications) in Mac OS X 10.4 would be lost in an upgrade to Mac OS X 10.5.
I've also heard that the refurbished mac are a piece of trash from some reviews.
That depends on who does the refurbishing. If you buy a refurbished Mac directly from Apple, it will be as good as a new Mac and will even have the one-year warranty that comes with a new Mac. If you buy a "refurbished" Mac from an eBay seller, all bets are off.

Getting iMovie 06 to work with Snow Leopard...3 steps

I fixed the problem by 1)downloading and running the latest version of Onyx and having it fix permissions. 2) I then deleted the iMovie preference file.
But really, the thing that it all seems to depend on is Ken Burns. 3)I imported all my photos without Ken Burns, and had the problem of photos not being seen in the viewer. I then selected them all and applied a ken burns effect, clicked apply and waited. From then on it was the old iMovie...I could see all the photos when the movie played.
Not sure permissions and preferences made that much of a difference, but it seems that applying Ken burns is necessary. And it is like having an old friend back. I like iMovie HD. Simple....like me.

iMovie HD works fine for most people. But I invite folks to drop in a few photos and try using it...getting them to line up with audio, getting them to show correctly in the viewer.
All that worked fine for me after installing Snow Leopard. I think your post is good even if it only helps a one user. Maybe others will report in that it helped them.
Now if Apple would just put a drop down timeline option in iMovie 09...
With most using iMovie 06, there is little motivation to improve iMovie 09.
I suspect there are thousands of us out there with the latest iMac, the latest iLife, but who use iMovie HD.
Maybe millions? Most people that I know with iLife 09 are using iMovie 06 with iDVD 09.

ITunes music on iMovie no longer works (iTunes 7)

I just upgraded to itunes 7 and now the music i had on an imovie does not work - saying the computer is not authorized (but it is!!!).
The same song on itunes is fine - imovie does not play that song!
Help.

Same problem. I created my iMovie project on my iMac (G5), stored it on my LaCie drive which I then plugged in to my Mini so I could burn it to a DVD. Now I'm told I'm not authorized to use the two songs in the project - but only on my Mini. I just updated all the Mac software on the Mini tonight, and it still does not work.
I have OS 10.4.7 on every mac I own, and all the software levels are the same on every computer. However, the Mini is an Intel, and my other stuff is G5. Does that make a difference?
The project is Christmas greetings from home for the troops in Iraq, and it's my daughter's 4H project. We have to mail the DVDs by December 1 in order to get them to Iraq by Christmas, so I urgently need some answers.
Thanks!

I created a slide show in imovie for my daughters 21st with voice overs from friends and family which was all working fine but now the voice recordings are not playing at all. Obviously some setting has changed but I can't find which one.
