Inserting Photos in IMovie

  I have created an IMovie project and how do I insert additional photos in a desired sequence? I have a certain sequence of events planned, in a certain chronological order and I want to edit a certain part of the project. How do I do this?  Thanks.

Hi
May be I misunderstand's this but
Open Media and here Photos (the Camera icon)
Select the photo needed.
Drag and drop it ONTOP of the Video-Clip in Your movie (where You want it to be) and then from the now un-folding menu select - CUTAWAY -
And the photo will be inserted in Your movie without any change in Audio or over-all duration.

  • Trouble inserting photos into iMovie

    I am trying to import some photos into iMovie that I copied from a website. When I try to insert them from a file on my desktop, where I saved them, I only get a portion of the photo. I went back to the folder and opened each picture outside of iMovie and they are complete pictures of high resolution. When I insert them, they turn out to be a part of the photo in low resolution. Ideas?

    You might also try dragging the folder into iphoto and see if they will import there. Then access them from within imovie. If iphoto won't see them then you will need to convert them like was already suggested.

  • Problem inserting photos in Imovie project

    i have what seems an unusual problem inserting photos into one of my projects. some photos insert fine however others that are dragged into the project dont appear when the video is played. the bar does however appear above the video clip showing that the photo has been inserted and the duration can be toggled.
    i then tried inserting the same photo into another short project and it worked fine?!
    has anyone come across this? would really appreciate your help as trying to put together a video clip for a wedding which is taking place in a few days!!
    many thanks

    I have also tried deleting the com.apple.imovie.plist ... I don't have one to delete ??  And, I tried repairing disk permissions with disk utility ... no change. I have also tried changing the title of the project.  These same pictures can be added into any other project ... I'm going CRAZY!

  • Inserting photo in iMovie, becomes still frame of video before it.

    When I insert a photo into my iMovie it creates a still frame of the video before. Doesn't matter where in the clips I put it and I've tried dragging a photo in from Finder and using the iPhoto in the iMovie application. And, if I put a photo after a photo, the second photo becomes a still frame of the first photo. Help!

    just to make thing clear (sorry for sounding impudent!)
    you do .... :
    create a New Project
    make a selection of an Event and add it to the Project
    select a title and drag it onto the clip?
    iM does work with your OS ...

  • Cannot insert photos into iMovie project

    Suddenly I am unable to drag/drop photos from the iPhoto window in iMovie into my current project.
    I click on the Photo button and thumbnails of my photos appear. I click on a photo (it is highlighted in blue) and drag it to the desired location within my project. When I drop it between clips (the green "Add" button appears) it just doesn't appear in the project.
    I have tried several times to drag/drop the photos (from within iMovie and from an opened Finder window), restarted iMovie and restarted my computer but I still cannot add photos to my project.
    Any suggestions? Is it the software or my computer?

    Chic, Welcome to the discussion area!
    I'm not sure why you posted in this area since your question has nothing to do with wireless networking nor the AirPort Express (AX).
    I suggest that you go to the appropriate iMovie discussion area and post your question there.

  • Using iMovie 11 and can't insert photos into story line?

    I just got IMovie 11 and the browsers won't highlight when trying to create a movie.  I can't insert photos into the storyline

    If I had to guess, and this merely based on reading iMovie Discussion Group threads, I would say sometimes Themes/Trailers/Animated Titles have problems. Not to say they cannot be used, but they can be the source of crashes and other bad behavior if something gets corrupted in them. Animated titles (in a regular iMovie Project) can cause instability and crashes. So I would say, some of those Themes may not be reliable and have pieces or parts built into the template that are causing this issue.
    If you wanted to try doing a bit of preventive maintenance try this:
    Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and launch this program
    Click on the Repair button under Disk Permissions and let it run until it finishes. Reboot the Mac, and open iMovie see if you get any different behavior out of iMovie with one of those failed Project Theme movies if you have one still available to open and look at. I won't say this is going to fix it, but it's sometimes can help. Also there's an iMovie preferences file that can get corrupted and lead to problems. To find the iMovie prefs:
    Go to the Desktop look for the Go Menu at the top menu bar. Hold down the Option key and click on the Go menu. Click on Library > Preferences.
    In the list of files there are: com.apple.iMovieApp.plist and also com.apple.iApps.plist
    Drag both of those to the trash and relaunch iMovie. See if that preference file deletion helps.

  • How do I insert a photo in iMovie 11 without losing the audio?

    I'm trying to insert photos into a recording of an interview. I select the photo and insert it into the clip but it only inserts the photo without audio. I want the photo to display while the pserson continues to speak. I wondering if I have to split the clip in order for this to work properly.

    • in iM's prefs, switch On the Advanced Tools
    • drag the photo into your Project onto the clip
    • cursor switches to a green + , select 'cutaway'

    Hi -
    In Preferences, select Show Advanced Tools.
    Close Preferences
    Drag the photo you want to the place you want it to inserted, and drop
    A menu will open that will allow you the choice of inserting or using the photo as a cutaway (among other things).
    Hope this helps.

  • When i add a photo in imovie it duplicates the previous photo

    I am having this same problem.  Did you find a solution?

  • Black bacground around PNG photo in imovie

    I inserted a PNG photo into imovie as a "picture in picture" and I cannot get rid of the black background. I set it as "fit" without cropping or Ken Burns effect. I have imovie '09 (8.0.6).
    Thanks!

    Why not use one of the many graphic editing programs that are available (some are free) to create a new image with the desired background and aspect ratio with your portrait image in the middle?

    P.S. Actually the best results would be to use Aperture but that's another 80 bucks.

  • Can no longer see my I-photo photos, when trying to insert photo into Word Document.

    I had some computer problems and did upgrade to Snow Leopard from Leopard. Using older MacBook Pro. 
    Now, when I try to insert a picture into a Word Document, I cannot see my photos!
    I am working in a word document, I choose "Insert Photo from my files" and when the window comes up so I can choose the photo to insert... when I select the "photos" choice under the Media section on the Left side of the box that comes up, the box to the right is BLANK, both on the top and bottom!  None of my photos come up for selection. 
    This method to choose photos to insert into documents used to work before... now it is not.  After selecting "photos" all my photos would appear in the right box, and I would move through my I-photo events to choose my saved photo and insert it.  Yes, photos are showing and present in I-photo.  They just won't appear for importing.
    This is so frustrating, not to mention time comsuming trying to figure out what is going on and how to fix it.
    Can anyone help? Please?

    Oroilore-
    I do not see a way to disable the Picture Frame icon.  I looked at Settings-Picture Frame, but none of the options turns it off.  The only way I can thinik of, would be if all of your photos had been deleted.  If there were no photos, you couldn't have a slide show!
    One thing to try is to reset (reboot) your iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • Issue with photos in iMovie - looks normal in timeline but won't play

    I'm having an issue with importing photos into iMovie. I've done it many a time without trouble but suddenly, when I really need it...ahh!
    The problem is with a video I've already exported once—I'm not sure if that's related. I created a slide in Powerpoint, made it into a jpg, then dragged it into my timeline (also something I've done before without issue). It looks totally normal in the timeline, but when I play the video it shows a still from the previous clip instead of my photo. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you!

    Gah. This is where I'm at...I'm using the code from above and
    my mp3 sound file is ID'd in the linkage properties as monkey7.mp3
    and it's still not working.
    What buttons should be checked in the Linkage properties? If
    my id is monkey7.mp3 and I check the Export for ActionScript
    button, my sound file plays multiple times and it still won't stop.
    If I do the same thing but ID it as "monkey7.mp3", it plays
    correctly but won't stop.
    I don't know if this matters but my mc where my sound file is
    located is one frame. Is that correct?
    I'm sure the code is correct but I'm missing something and I
    can't figure it out!

  • How can I make a still photo from imovie

    How can I make a still photo from imovie?

    Let's assume you have iMovie 11 (Version 9). (If you have a different version, let me know. The instructions will be different.)
    First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
    Open MPEG Streamclip.
    In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
    Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
    In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
    In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
    Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
    You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
    I have created a short video Tutorial on how to do this. There is one error in the Tutorial, where it says that Command-click is the same as right-click. I should have said Control-click instead.

  • How do i use photos in iMovie if browser is inactive

    How do I use photos in imovie if the photo browser is not active. When I click on the camera icon on the right middle of the page, it does nothing no highlight or nothhing to show that its active. I do have photos in iphoto.

    It might help to trash your Preferences files. Especially, the com.Apple.iapps.plist file.
    See this link for details.
