Increasing size of stills in Imovie

I brought stills into imovie but they appear the size of thumbnails, how do I resize to fit screen?

welcome landerdm to the  boards of discussions...
a few things for your future projects:
iM is a DV-editor.. imports lossless from miniDV devices, by using the same video codec 'dv' ...
1h dv = 13GB
stills in iM get converted into 'video' (='dv') ... so, no wonder, a tiny 50kB jpg gets a few MB when in use for 30secs in a video...
last word:
a videoDVD uses a different codec (mp2), ... the encoding takes place in iDVD, automatically.. for your convenience, you simply have to stay under 120 MINUTES (length matters, not size).. even a 60gig iM project (=lots of imports...), fits onto a 4.7 GB disk..
savvy?

Saving images with quality 12 increases size. Why?

A minutely modifyed image saved with quality of 10 maintained its original size (more or less), but saving with a quality of 12 increases size.
I would like to know why?
I'd appreciate your comments.

Because that's how .jpg works. Sizes of less than 10 usually compress your files somewhat, lower numbers resulting in smaller file sizes and more compression, with a corresponding loss of quality. Sizes greater than 10 also use the .jpg compression algorithm, but they choose less compression, and so two pixels that may have been compressed together at compression 10 may now be separated at compression 11 or 12, resulting in a larger file. (But that doesn't imply an increase in the quality, even at 12 there is still a slight decrease in quality in that the .jpg saved version still doesn't exactly represent what you saw on the screen)
The amount of modification to the photo doesn't really matter in how much the space the .jpg compression takes up.

Did Lion's iTunes remove the video menu options to increase size and reduce size?

Did Lion's iTunes remove the video menu options to increase size and reduce size?
Is the ability to shrink or expand the video window from a menu item now really gone?

Itunes has not changed in Lion in this regard, you can still go to fullscreen from the menu, and use your input device to make the video window larger and smaller. does that help?

How do you set the duration for multiple stills in iMovie 2013?

How do you set the duration for multiple stills in iMovie 2013?
Before upgrading to the latest version of iMovie last month, I was able to set the duation of all of the stills included in an iMovie project at one time by clicking the apply to all still box in the adjustment pop up. That option is no longer apparent. If it is available I cannot find it, and I have tried several different ways to accomplish it. I have tried the iMovie help section and can find nothing to help.
Apple, do I really have to adjust close to 500 pictures to a 5 second duration individually???
REALLY??!!

...why wouldnt people want that level of accuracy when animating, especially when working to music at a specific duration?
Because often people are animating to words or beats in the music. Music is rarely performed with a computer-precise beat and tempo. Musicians aren't robots: they swing the beat sometimes. They use rubato. They change tempo. They change time signatures. As a result, you have to FIND those words and beats. It's not a situation where you can say, "There! I've found the duration of one beat! Now it's easy to find the rest of them!"
If you try it, you will be very disappointed.
Try finding the precise end of a piece of music that fades or ends on a big chord with a ring-out. You'll see that it's trial-and-error: what's the point where it becomes inaudible? It depends on how high your speakers are turned up. You might have them way up, you set an end point for the layer, and then you do a RAM Preview at a more reasonable volume. You might say, "Hey! The music ends before the layer ends!"... but you KNOW you set the layer's out point when the audio file goes silent.
AE has layer markers that can be used on an audio layer to mark beats, words, etc. They come in very handy.
I guess it comes down to this: because AE can do so much different stuff, there are very few automated procedures. Oh, Adobe tries with effects that convert audio levels to keyframes, but they're not 100% reliable... especially on something like a capella choral works. For true accuracy, you need find the timings yourself.
If you want something simpler, try a different application. But be prepared for lower level of accuracy.

How to extract a still from iMovie to create a jpg

I'm trying to extract a still from iMovie to create a jpg. I've been able to make a freeze frame, but now I want to export it into iPhoto as a jpg? How?

I suggest that you use a free app called MPEG Streamclip.

Reducing size of datatype involved in index fails where as increasing size work

This question is related to my question in SO Database
events that will cause deletion of index
For example if i create a table like
CREATE TABLE dbo.Customers (ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED, CustomerName NVARCHAR(200));
CREATE INDEX IX_CustomerName ON dbo.Customers(CustomerName);
And then try to change column datatype like shown below to 230 from 200.
alter table Customers
alter column CustomerName nvarchar(230) null
The above alter command runs successfully and index IX_CustomerName is not dropped.
But if i try to reduce the size of column to 150 from 200 then it shows error.
alter table Customers
alter column CustomerName nvarchar(150) null
I get error like
Msg 5074, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The index 'IX_CustomerName' is dependent on column 'CustomerName'.
Msg 4922, Level 16, State 9, Line 1
ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN CustomerName failed because one or more objects access this column.
So reducing the size(data may loss) of a column does not work if index is present on a column where as if the index not present then above
query works successfully. So why does it does not allow reducing the column when index present where as increasing size does not show any problem and works?

Hello,
Indeed, a little bit strange even because in BOL it's documented for a different behaviour, see
ALTER TABLE (Transact-SQL) => Remarks =>
"Changing the Size of a Column
You can change the length, precision, or scale of a column by specifying a new size for the column data type in the ALTER COLUMN clause. If data exists in the column, the new size cannot be smaller than the maximum size of the data. Also, the column cannot
be defined in an index, unless the column is a varchar, nvarchar, or varbinary data type and the index is not the result of a PRIMARY KEY constraint. See example P."

I need to compress an InDesign file to web-quality pdf but file size is still too big. Help!

Hi Bill,
It sounds like your document has a lot of pages and/or images in it.
Instead of using the normal InDesign > Export command to create a PDF, you may be able to reduce the file size by printing to a PostScript file, then distilling it to PDF using Acrobat Distiller.

How to increase size of fonts in Menu bar and in Safari toolbar?

How to increase size of fonts in Menu bar and in Safari toolbar? Munu bar and Safari toolbar fonts too small on a 24" iMac screen.
Thanks in advance !

If you want to change the size of the font of a TextEdit text document, you do it in the preferences. Alternatively, if you want control over the size of the fonts, make it a Rich Text document, and then you can change the font size. You can either use the Larger or Smaller options, or Show Fonts to choose a size. You can elect to have new documents be Rich Text in the preferences as well.

Displaying Photo Titles and Descriptions in stills in iMovie

Hello, I'm wondering if it's possible to get still photo titles and descriptions from iPhoto to display on Stills inserted into iMovie. I am trying to create slideshows of stills and iMovie is the only system that allows you to modify soundtracks, but it, as far as I can tell, won't display Titles or Descriptions. iPhoto and iDVD slideshows display this info, but you have no control or can't even see what audio files you have inserted.
Please help!!
Thanks

I'm wondering if it's possible to get still photo titles and descriptions from iPhoto to display on Stills inserted into iMovie.
I assume you are referrimg to an automatic method of displaying this information and AFAIK there is no such feature currently programmed into iMovie '08. You can, of course manually title each slide.

What is theoptimal file size for stills, and dpi?

what is theoptimal file size for stills, and dpi?

In video dpi is not relevent. What counts in video is pixels. In FCP most recommendations I have seen is to size your stills so they have no more than 3 times the pixels in your project aspect ratio. For example if your project is 1280x720 then stills should be no more than 3 times the 1280x720. This allows you to crop the stills and still have good resolution. If no cropping is anticipated then they could be the same size as your project.

Adding or increasing size of redo logs

Hi,
I launched health Chack of TOAD on my Database and I had :
! "Checkpoint not complete" errors: 1744
! (consider adding or increasing size of redo logs to resolve this)
My question is how to
1- add a logfile ?
2-increase a logfile ?
Many thanks.

The size is set when you create the redo logs you can not adjust this size without going through a lot of hoops. One method of increasing the size is described in metalink note: 1035935.6
Basically you have to create new log groups of the size you want like
SQL>alter database add logfile group 4 '/opt/oracle/data/redo4/log4a.dbf' size 10M;
Do this for as many new groups as you want with the size you want.
Then when the original groups are INACTIVE which can be seen in the v$log table, drop those groups.
alter database drop logfile group 1;
But read the entire note before you do anything.
Regards
Tim

Cannot view quicktime window normal size and still see controls!

Help!
I cannot view quicktime window normal size and still see control butttons (pause, play etc.)
I search this forum and found another previous similar question, but the answer. (To use control+0, which would make it half-size.), is not what I need.
What I need is to have a nice fuller size view, (not the narrow little half-size), but any way i find of doing that hides the controls below the bottom of my screen!
I cannot resize it from any side, except the bottom r. corner, which is hidden with these desireable fuller options.

Update: this was my mistake - I had neglected to configure all the view containers in the WebDynproCO window, which was generated by adding the GP interface to the component. All is well.
