Inserting photos in video

How can I insert a photo (or photos) in the middle of a video strip in Imovie 11 (9.0.4), leaving the audio intact while the pictures "play", then be able to return to view the rest of the filmstrip? When I drag a photo to the filmstrip, I indicate that I want to "insert" it, but it breaks the filmstrip and the audio stops.

First, go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
Next, drag your photo and drop it on the video clip where you want it to start. A popup menu will appear. Choose "Cutaway".

Grey borders appear around inserted photos in videos

Hi,
I have Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and am quite new to video editing. I am creating a video of myself talking against an infinity white background. I'm trying to insert some excel charts next to me talking. I've turned them into photos (JPEG). However when I insert the photo into my video, clicking no to 'video merge' a thin grey border appears around the photo. I've checked and this is not there in the photo. It also appears if I leave the photo in photoshop format. Is there a way to not have this border? Let me know any important details I've missed off.
Many thanks,
Laurie

Thanks for the follow up. Glad that the cropping suggestion worked for you.
For your convenience, the following is a copy/paste of the Announcement at the top of this forum. All the details of the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce Roll Back are included
Announcement: Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
Hide Details
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

Inserted Photos in Video - Won't Work on Google Video or YouTube

Hey Everyone -
This is driving me NUTS. I've made a video and in two locations I pasted in a couple of images.
I did the whole procedure where I selected a "start" and "end" edit time in the clip of about 10 seconds, and then choose "Paste at Playhead" from the Advanced Menu.
Everything works just as it should ... the audio is extracted from the video and moved down to the next track, and the still image is inserted exactly where it's supposed to be.
On playback, it cuts to the still image, the audio from the video continues, and it resumes back to the video perfectly.
However, when I upload to GoogleVideo (file was too long for YouTube), it doesn't "honor" the time segment on the still iamge. It defaults to the 2 frames and flashes the image for a split second, then goes back into the video stream, and of course ... the audio is then out of sync.
The iMovie file plays back perfectly.
The QuickTime movie file that i'm uploading plays back perfectly.
So .. the QuickTime.mov source file is fine ... yet, after being uploaded to GoogleVideo and processed, something screws it up and the amount of time that was dedicated to the still image is gone, throwing everything off sync.
Please help!
To see what I mean ... see these two files:
The source QuickTime movie file:
http://www.fredmckinnon.com/media/wc080707.mov
The video once processed to GoogleVideo:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3464155802821409277&hl=en
This has happened consistently on my last two videos, and I don't know what else to do, except not insert the still photos, which defeats part of the reason we do the video!
Thanks in advance,
Fred

Are the pictures larger than 1000x750 (I think that is the effective limit for SD) since I've read that overly large pictures cause problems

Insert pictures and video

Hello,
How can I insert videocuts into a show I recorded myself? I am in the studio, presenting a show and during the presentation I want to show pictures and video to the audience.
* I wil first record the show in our studio
* And then I insert pictures and video on certain places in the recorded show.
Is this possible in Imovie 8 or in one of the older imovies.
Or must I use finalcut for this?
Thanks! Richard - The Netherlands

Hello, Richard,
I have not used iMovie 8 much, so don't know about doing this in that version, but you can easily do this in iMovie HD 6.
I am not sure exactly how you want to do this. It depends on whether you want to place those photos and other video clips OVER the recorded show, so that the audio from the recorded show plays while the photos and videos are displayed, or if you want to have them ADDED in the midst of the recorded show.
If you just want to insert photos and videos in the midst of your recorded show, first import your recorded show into iMovie6. Put it in the timeline. Move the playhead to the point where you want the first photo, and do a 'split video at playhead' command, drag the photos/videos to the time line there. They will be added between the split video clips. Repeat for all the photos/videos.
It sounds as if the option you want is 'Paste Over at Playhead' which allows the photos and videos you add to be seen over the recorded show, so that the audio plays continually. In tv and movies this is done when someone is talking about something and then there is a 'cut-away' to a photo or video clip of whatever the person is describing so the audience can visualize what he is saying while he is speaking.
Here are instructions for doing that from iMovie HD6 Help:
*Inserting video clips or photos in a passage while maintaining running audio*
+You can paste a new video clip or photo over an existing clip while retaining the audio from the original clip. The video cuts away to a new picture, but you continue to hear the sound from the original clip.+
+To replace images in a clip while maintaining running audio:+
+Choose iMovie HD > Preferences, and then click General.+
+Select the "Extract audio when using Paste Over at Playhead" checkbox.+
+Select the video or photo that you want to insert.+
+Choose Edit > Cut or Copy.+
+Do one of the following:+
+To paste the entire video you selected in step 3, position the playhead at the first frame to be replaced. When you paste the clip, it will replace a portion of video equal to its length.+
+To paste over a specific segment of your movie, select the part of the video clip you want to paste over. (To learn more about selecting part of a video clip, see Related Topics below.)+
+If the video you're pasting is longer than the selected frame range, the excess video will not be pasted. If the video you're pasting is shorter than the selected frame range, the extra space will be filled with a color clip (or the still image, if you paste a still image).+
+Choose Advanced > "Paste Over at Playhead."+
+The audio track of the original video is retained and appears in audio track 1 of the timeline viewer.+
Post back if this does not address what you are trying to do.

Here are the steps I though I took this morning:
Backup iPad
Connect to iTunes and downlaod newest version of iTunes and then newest iOS
restart Vista Laptop
upgrade to newest iOS
I knew somethign was wrong when it took about 6 hours to upgrade the iPad
at the end it errored with this message error (-50), but the upgrade worked
I was expecting to see all my photos but didn't see them
I have tried a restore to a back up 2 times. The first time took 3 hours and just sort of timed out - it kept saying that there was an hour to go
I tried it again 2 hours ago and same message.
They are very valuable to me and so now I am panicking
Your help is much appreciated

How can I record my voice on iMovie without needing to place a photo or video in?

I'm trying to make an anime review. But before placing photos in it, I wanted to record my voice first before adding pictures in it. So I was wondering what do I do to actually get my voice in it without it being cut because there were no photos or videos placed in? (I use a macbook)

You could insert a bunch of placeholders in the timeline before doing the voiceover.
You can find a range of placeholders (they are actually templates used in iMovie Trailers) in the Maps, Backgrounds & Animatics browser. This is the last browser at the end of the centre toolbar, after the Titles and Transitions browsers. Click on it and scroll down to see all the animatics (aka placholders or templates). Drag a number of these into your project timeline - as many as you think you need to cover your audio.
When you've finished the voiceover, drag photos directly onto the animatics and select Replace from the pop-up menu. Adjust the timing by using the Inspector (double-click a photo to open the Inspector, then change the duration).

HT4528 With IOS 7 I had to move my photos and videos off to a backup to install the IOS. When they moved back to the phone during a sync I have no way to delete them. The trashcan stays grayed out and the usage page doesn't give me a delete option.

I got the message that IOS 7 was ready to download. I wish I had read the reviews on it first. I had to move my photos and videos off the phone to free up memory space for the install. I was still able to see the phone with a file browser and grabbed the photos and videos and stored them in a directory on my hard drive. Meanwhile my itunes updated too. So with my files moved and deleted from the phone I made a backup of the phone. I installed the ios 7. When I synced the itunes moved my backup directories back to the phone. I can't figure out how to remove them from the phone. Under photos they have installed themselves with the names iphone09282013 and videos directories. When I access them I don't get a delete option. The trashcan is greyed out. The settings usage page no longer gives me the swipe delete function. How do I remove these files to free up space now that I have them saved to my computer?

IMovie11 - MARKING PHOTOS AND VIDEO CLIPS USED IN PROJECTS

After endless research, I have finally figured out how to mark the photos and video clips I have in my project so that I don't duplicate them in my project. It's actually easy once you know how to do it.
1. Create your new project (Movie)
2. Create your event with the photos and videos you want to use from iPhoto. Name your event same as your Project to make it easier to find the event for that project. The work flow will be > Event > iPhoto Library > Albums > Select the entire Album or individual items.
iMovie will not mark any photo or video that is not stored in iPhoto, so make sure you have your Photos and Video stored there. You can always delete any media later you don't want to keep. I found it easiest to organize the media I will be using in a project into an Album, and give it a name relating to your Project so you know where they're at, and you don't have to sort through your entire iPhoto collection to find them.
3. Now you have your Photos / Video in your event.
* As you ad the media to your project, an ORANGE line will appear on the media indicating you used it in the project you currently have open.
* If you see a PURPLE line on any of them, that indicates they are used in a different project you have created. >>> See Attachment ...
Remember that you will only see these mark lines in events.

If you don't want iDVD to show its theme or menu then go into the Map mode in iDVD and drqg the slideshow containing the photos and video clips into the blue Auto Play bin at the left.
Click to view full size
When inserted into a DVD player it will begin playing immediatey. However, when findished it will fall back to the menu so use the menu which would look best for the situation. They can be modified by droppiing image files into the menu settings bin to give it a different background.
Make sure your photos and video clips end up in the slideshow together:

Photos and Video do not store on storage card

I have a Palm Treo Pro from Telstra with a Telstra 2gb MicroSD card. The problem is that I have not been able to view any of the photos and videos I have taken since I bought the phone, because the folder 100MEDIA does not exist. I have selected the option to store all images and video on the storage card and I believe it should be storing them to the default location of DCIM/100MEDIA.......but there is no 100MEDIA folder. I don;t want to store them on the device.
So where are all my images and videos?
And I cannot create a any sub-folders (let alone one called 100MEDIA) in DCIM when it is synched as my PC tells me I cannot due to the folder DCIM being read-only, insuffiecient memory or no permission to do this.
I am extremely frustrated as I have potentially lost a lot of sentimental images and vids of my kids.

Can you view the photos and videos in the Pictures & Videos application on your device?

That's one of the questions I am trying to find out really. I take a photo, I have it set to save onto my storage card, yet when I look on my storage card there are no pictures/vids on it. So where is it saving anything that comes from the camera? I have done a search and the pictures and videos I have taken do not show up.
Okay, I think I understand where you are looking; I had to play around with a few things. You are using the "Explore" button from the ActiveSync window. When you open My Windows Mobile-based device, then Storage Card, it's blank. This particular view looks to be pretty useless.
The easiest solution, although not the cheapest, is to get an adapter that allows you to attach your storage card to your PC. In my case, when I bought my microSD card it came with an SD-sized adapter so I could use it with my existing card reader. The advantage is that you have the full power of Windows Explorer available to work on the card, and speed should be better than using the USB cable. The downside is that inserting and removing the card increases the risk of damage.
I think what Microsoft actually was thinking, though, was that you would set up a sync relationship with Windows Media Player. After the ActiveSync window comes up, fire up Windows Media Player from the Start menu, and look for a Sync button on the toolbar. Underneath is a drop-down that lets you set up synchronization for your Treo Pro for various media including photos and videos. I don't use this method because I don't want all the garbage on my PC to end up on my phone. However, if your media libraries are more organized than mine, it might work for you.
Hope this helps.

Merge Still Photos with Video Clips?

I have an iMovie project containing only video clips in the timeline, arranged by capture date/time. I also have an iPhoto file containing still photos of similar material. How can I import all of the iPhoto stills into the iMovie project such that the photos are inserted within the timeline and combined with the video clips so that everything (photos and videos) is arranged by date/time? Is that possible? If not, can someone suggest a script that will do just that?

iM is no 'scriptable' app, video editing is usually no process for any automatic tasks...
I would...
* give the photos some names which indicates where in timeline of the iM project they belong (numbers 1,2,...? a date...?)
* place photos manually into time of project...
... yes, video-editing is sometimes a painstaking, time-consuming tasks ... ;))

When I insert photos into Premiere Elements timeline they become pixilated. Has anyone a remedy?

The photos I insert into the timeline in Elements become pixilated. They looked fine in the organiser. Has anyone a remedy to this problem please?

Judie Sutton
Thanks for the additional information.
If rendering the Timeline content of those photos does not resolve the photo pixelation issue as per SG's question, then please read on.
a. Do you have a mixed Timeline of photos and video? If so, what is the format of the video and how many of these
2799 x 3500 photos are included? Do you get photo pixelation whether you have 1 or many of these photos on the Timeline?
b. What happens to the Edit area monitor view of one of these photos if you right click the Edit area monitor, select Playback Quality, and then compare the choices of Automatic vs Highest Quality? If you right click the Edit area monitor and select Magnification, do you find the Magnification set at the default "Fit"?
c. Have the photos been edited in Photoshop before being imported in Premiere Elements. If so, what was the extent of the Photoshop editing including effects applied and color profile?
More later depending on your results and follow up.
Thanks.

Right, not possible with iBooks & iBooks Author.
But certainly doable by making an app, instead. Disclaimer that this may not be a trivial effort applies.

Using transitions with inserted photos

Greetings--
I know how to use the paste over at playhead function to drop in video only or photos and maintain the audio track. But how do I insert transitions--between video and still photos and between the stills--over the underlying video and not screw up the audio?
I've tried creating a scene in Still Life, with built-in transitions, so that at least I have a longer stretch of video to paste at the playhead, but that still doesn't solve the problem of dissolving from the video into the sequence of stills.
Thanks in advance for your help!
BnB

Couldn't you just create the transition you want in its own movie, export as dv then import the clip and use the paste over function again?
