Imovie video shrinking

I have just started importing my old digital video from a Sony DCR PC110E. I have a couple of issues and would appreciate some advice.
1 the quality is pretty low when I watch the import on imovie. I have imported at the Large size ( highest possible).
2 when i move the video into a project I loose quite a bit of the viewable area, which can mean heads don't show on the exported video, however, on the import view its all there.
I hope someone can help me here.
Cheers Ian

Just figured it out. When you go into video adjustments on the clip in the timeline, and click on the "clip" option there is actually a zoom option that seems to default to 138%. When you slide it back to 100% it corrects everything.

  • How do I put multiple songs on my iMovie video?

    I am trying to make an iMovie video, and I can get one song on it. But it's very long, so I want to keep uploading songs as it goes, but it doesn't work. Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

    just drop the music-clips onto a video-clip instead of 'into the background'.

  • When I insert a photo from iPhoto in an iMovie video, it´s another photo that is displayed in the movie

    When I insert a photo from iPhoto in an iMovie video, it´s another photo that is displayed in the movie.
    I´ve tried to end iMovie, shut down the MacBook Pro, but the same problem happens again.

    Hi
    BUT
    This can take times ! - I mean several Hours ! !
    Last time I did this it took > 20 Hours (INTEL i7 4x4 processors - 2.2GHz)
    AND - remember to connect Your MacBook (or laptop) to Mains-adaptor - as battery might run out !
    Still - there is no alternative route to this (repair of iPhoto Library) suggested by Karsten !

  • Why isn't my iMovie video uploading to YouTube

  • Converting imovie video to mp3

    I want to make uploading a video on youtube more faster and mp4 slows the processing down what can i do?

    ...  and mp4 slows the processing down ...
    compared to what?
    YT accepts just a handfull of formats.. the YT-upload preset converts into the most useful - size/resolution/bitrate.
    'speed' is defined by your ISPs bandwidth ...
    You can reduce the file.size only by reducing quality = smaller resolution, lower frame rate, lower bit-rate ... is that what you want?

    hmmm, mp3 is an audio-only format

  • How do i copy The iMovie video from Mac, to iPad mini?

    How do i copy The iMovie video from Mac, to iPad mini?

    The easiest way is to firstly export the movie to iTunes (Share > iTunes), then sync the iPad Mini with iTunes. In iTunes, include your movie as an item to be synced. After syncing, on the iPad it will appear in the Videos app. That's how I do it for my wife's Mini.
    If you need help with exporting or with syncing to iTunes, please post back.
    I'm caught up with something else at the moment, otherwise I'd give you full instructions now (just wanted to get this to you quickly).

  • My iMovie videos are taking too much space

    I want to burn all my iMovie videos from my iPad to a DVD, because they are taking up too much space.  Does anybody know how to do this, or have any better suggestions?
    Thanks

    You have to transfer them to a computer first how you do that depend on the type of computer
    And then burn it on a dvd there are tons of free software which let you burn movies to dvds

  • I need to clone myself in an iMovie video.

    Hi. For a school project, I need to make an iMovie video in which I have cloned myself. However, when I combined both the videos, the clone-me always appear to be blurry and the image is scattered. Does anyone know if there is a solid solution to those or have any tips/suggestions for fixing it?
    Thanks so much.

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iMovie. There's an iMovie Support Community where everybody uses iMovie. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie

  • Adding elapsed time display to iMovie video

    Are there any plugins or procedures to use to add the display of an elapsed time clock to my iMovie video? I am trying to create a movie that displays an elapsed time clock on the screen as part of the movie, so that the viewer can go to selected time spots that are referenced in an accompanying written document.

    maybe this one from geethree.com?

  • After  watch a video in "full screen mode" and the video shrinks back into the eBook view, HALF of the TOP Title Bar DISAPPEARS, But it does not happen with ios 6.1

    The Mac has never needed "Full Screen". It has done multiple screen Extended Desktop since 1987.
    Full screen is an iPhone feature, carried into this verion with the mult-touch gestures and other so-called "unifying" features.

    Hey.
    Since you seem to have tried mostly everything, apart from exchanging the motherboard, I'd say you have at least one option left, and that's to reinstall Windows from the recovery partition / recovery discs. That might solve the problem, if this is due to a software-error. General updates etc. might not work to fix such problems, but a clean install should.
    If that doesn't help, I'd say the problem is somewhere either with the CPU or the motherboard, maybe bad connections or some sort of malfunction that prevents the computer from coming out of the 100% CPU usage.

  • How do i delete imovie videos and still have them on my time capsule

    how can i delete imovie videos and still have them on my timecapsule

    You can copy them to the TC.. do not expect Time Machine to keep something that you delete though..
    And please recognise you are breaking the idea of Time Capsule.. it is primarily a backup target for TIme Machine.. once you move files to the TC and delete them on the computer.. the only copy of the file is now on the TC.. which has no automated backup.. no easy means of recovery if the drive fails. no parts even.. Apple do not fix.. they give you a replacement and chuck your old one.
    You are hoping that the TC will preserve your files.. when it is well known to be a less than reliable device.
    Think hard if this is really where you want to go.

  • How do I move audio in an Imovie Video?

    I'm trying to make an Imove video. I filmed the footage in Photobooth, and then imported it into Imovie. There was a delay of the sound in Photobooth, but I thought it was nothing. So I get to Imovie, and there was a delay once again. I don't know how to get the audio to be heard when I move my mouth. It seems like there is a very simple answer to this problem, yet I can't seem to find it. Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks!

    (in order as in.. right after the other or right after they
    land...)
    this is right after the other (with a given time to drop the
    next)
    if they are all seperate boxes, do something like this:
    on the onClipEvent(load), put an order, like drop=1,
    drop=2,drop=3
    onClipEvent(load)
    drop=2
    time=0
    onClipEvent(enterFrame)
    time++
    if(time>drop*12) //12 frames before dropping the second
    one
    **your drop code
    if you want them as duplicated, do this:
    duplicatedmovie=[the duplicate movieclip code]
    duplicatedmovie.drop=1
    and in the movieclip that you are duplicating, add this:
    onClipEvent(load)
    time=0
    onClipEvent(enterFrame)
    time++
    if(time>drop*12) //12 frames before dropping the second
    one
    **your drop code
    basically the same code except that the drop was set in
    different areas.
    I hope it helps, but I'm not sure if it was what you were
    looking for.
