  • Problems with FC widescreen 16:9 movie and iDVD 4:3

    Running: FCE v3.5 HD and iDVD 8
    I'm doing a large domestic film project for friends which requires me to author my FCE movie as a DVD (as a broadcast professional my editing is normally just played straight out to digi-tape and so I'm a little green in this department!)
    I've now edited the entire FCE movie and exported it as 'stand alone' files in two ways (giving me two separate movie files). One is created via the simple Export>Quicktime Movie option in FCE but, when this didn't appear to be 16:9 widescreen in the iDVD preview, I went back to FCE and created a Quicktime compressed .mov with a DV PAL 16:9 ratio.
    The latter also doesn't appear as 16:9 widescreen in iDVD 8 (nor is it widescreen when I burn the DVD and play it on a TV). Both of them play in 4:3 squeeze ratio despite the iDVD project menus being in lovely widescreen.
    Why is this?
    I can't see any setting that will solve this so I'd appreciate any solution or offers of help on this!
    Before anyone asks, the FCE project is defintely captured and edited in 16:9 DV PAL format. I've printed it to DV video for an approval viewing and it was beautiful 16:9 widescreen.
    HELP, this was supposed to be easy!

  • How to batch change all iPhoto imported movies and keep them in same event?

    I have several years of AVI movies that won't be read in iMovie 08 but can be viewed and played using QT from iPhoto 08.
    Anybody know how i can batch convert the entire library of movies in my iPhoto library to mac happy format and keep their creation date, save them back into the same location, and modify iPHoto database to re-path to new clips then remove old? I must maintain organization as these videos are labeled, and dated and sorted according to my daughters entire life! I don't want a new folder with 1000 vidoes, I like to keep them in the 'event' folder they live in and have iPhoto point to them instead of the .avi files that iphoto has no problem with but iMovie does.
    Sounds insane, but it's the only solution i can think of to use iLife products with one of the most popular compact digital camera's in the world which saves in a format that works perfectly everywhere else within my mac other then iLife.
    I'm sorry if i sound a little peeved.. i've been desperately trying to make a solid pipeline for personal media out of my mac since i've switched over, and found that unless your media is born and dies in quicktime, the mac isn't really that friendly.

    Not quite an answer, but perhaps the way towards an answer:
    You want to round trip these avi files out of iPhoto, convert them to a different file type and the bring them back into iphoto whole preserving all of the arrangements you have for them in iPhoto. Correct?
    You cannot do that for a very simple reason, and that is converting the file type will create a new file with a new file name.
    SO we have to be clever... and this might be a way to do that:
    1. Title the files in iPhoto to use their Creation date in the title (so we get Jan 01 2005 - Her First Steps.avi, or somesuch.) I suggest this, but there may be a way to change the file date on the new movies that I don't know about.
    2. Export the files in batches - month by month say - to the desktop and there, process them into the new format. (You'll need to research the Software for that job yourself, I'm no help there)
    Now we have a file called Jan 01 2005 - Her First Steps.mov (or whatever the suffix is going to be.
    3. Create a new library in iPhoto (hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto, choose 'Create Library' Give it a distinctive name: The great library fix, or somesuch)
    4. When you have the new library organised to mirror - as much as possible, delete the avi's from your main library, and use iPhoto Library Manager to move the reformatted files back...
    That's an approach to the issue. Have a think about it, maybe it'll spark you - or someone else to come up with some improvements - or a whole better model.
    Or, we could try and get v7 to read the movies like v6 did... what are the symptoms?

  • HT201302 Why won't iPhoto import movies and photos from iPhone 4s?

    This is crazy. iPhoto keeps saying "can't import a photo because of an error." I don't want to restore my phone and risk losing all the video footage I've shot.

    hello I have an iphone 4 and suddenly all my contacts were deleted and all my pictures are blurry and I can not contact enegistrée please help me please what is important thank you to soon.

  • Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

    Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago. 
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them. 
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

  • How do I access iWeb and iDVD on my new Macbook Air?

    I just bought a new MacBook Air and read that I can load iPhoto 11, iMovie 11, and GarageBand from the app store, which I did. I don't see iWeb or iDVD anywhere, on the MacBook or in the app store.
    I guess iWeb and iDVD are part of the iLife 11 package, which does not come with the MacBook Air (thought it did), but I wanted to check in case I am overlooking something.

    If you have another Mac that you can connect to your Air with a local area network or int the Target Disk Mode,  Transferring files between two computers using FireWire, you would be able to run the iLife 11 installer disk on the other Mac and select the Air as the location for the installation.

  • IWeb, IPhoto and Mobile Me Galleries

    I have several websites on mobile me and also with go daddy. I have a picky problem with thumbnails and Mobile me Galleries. Here's the workflow and problem:
    I have a group of videos that are related. Instead of using a flash playlist (IPhones can't play them), I open IPhoto and drag say 10 videos into IPhoto and create a new album. I then published that album to my mobile me gallery. All is fine except that the video thumbnails are not set wher I want them. Mobile me automatically sets the first frame as the thumbnail and since I fade up from black, the first frame is black. So once the gallery is up on my IDisk, I open IWeb and create an album page. WHile IPhoto is open, I drag the Album to my IWeb page. Again, all of the thumbnails are black. I double click on the album and the new page opens and all of the individual videos are there. I click one and then in the inspector, I choose quicktime and I can move the slider to select a new thumbnail (POster Frame) All is perfect. Here are the problems:
    1. When I publish to mobile me or a folder and upload that folder to my godaddy site, it wants to re-upload to the gallery which takes a HUGE amount of time.Is there anyway to only upload the posterframe changes to the existing gallery? BTW, these changes to my IWeb page do NOT make changes to the Gallery thumbnails themselves, only to the reference within IWeb.
    2. If I do this for another page, involving a new gallery of videos, it wipes out my original thumbnails that I set for the first set of galleries. When I go back to IWeb to re-select thumbnails for the second time and re-upload those pages to Mobile Me or Godaddy, It sends the whole gallery up, taking ANOTHER whole bunch of time to do it.
    Any ideas on how to permanently set the thumbnails in Mobile Me? I'm sure you can't change them there.
    Jeff

    You uploaded the pictures and movies twice.
    Once to the MobileMe gallery.
    The second time to the Webserver.
    Here's a solution to soften the pain.
    Display a MobileMe gallery page. Set the display you want.
    Copy the URL in the browser addressfield.
    In iWeb create a page and add a HTML Snippet.
    Paste this line of code in the HTML Snippet and use the URL of your MMe gallery page as the src :
    <iframe src="http://url.to.MMeGallery.html" frameborder="0" width="500" height="500" scrolling="no" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
    Adjust the width and height numbers.
    Now you have your MMe gallery in an iWeb page without the trouble of uploading twice.

  • IPhoto and iDVD working together

    I've just finished organizing about 500 photos in iPhoto 6. I wanted to export them directly to iDVD, but was unable to, so I exported them to a Quicktime movie and then into iDVD.
    However, I want to add "titles" so we remember where we were, etc., and I don't know how to do it. Obviously, I could do it if I exported to iMovie, but I didn't see that option, and actually, the Quicktime to iDVD gives a nice slideshow effect that I like.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks!
    susan

    Hello Susan,
    you cannot directly export your photos/slideshow to iMovie. you can however
    1. export as QT movie, then import that into a new iMovie project
    2. create a new iMovie project and import your pictures from the "Photos" tab. by doing so you can apply all the same effects and transitions as in iMovie.
    if you choose option 2, be aware that there seems to be a bug described in this thread by Karl Petersen:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2105598&#2105598
    if you mainly work with photos you might want to have a look at a software that seems to be doing a very good job:

  • After making a movie and wanting to burn a DVD, I go for iDVD in the 'DEEL'  menu. Then I get the question ' where is iDVD? What is the problem?

    After making a movie and wanting to burn a DVD, I go for iDVD in the 'DEEL'  menu. After couple of seconds I get the question ' where is iDVD?
    What is the problem? I cannot find iDVD in the programs map.
    regards Tonl

    The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that nothing could be further from the truth has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD.

  • IWeb 09, Pages 09, and Keynote 09 can't load iPhoto images in media browser

    Ever since yesterday, my iWeb 09, Pages 09, and Keynote 09 have been experiencing problems loading iPhoto 09 images in the media browser. I have no problems loading my audio files, movie files, and widgets, but when it comes to iPhoto picture files, the system just hangs. Luckily, it doesn't crash; it just says "Loading iPhoto images" forever.
    I'm guessing that the problem is with iPhoto 09, because the media browser has no problems loading my Aperture picture files.
    Does anyone have any ideas how I can get iWeb, Pages, and Keynote to load my iPhoto pics in the media browser?
    Thanks!

    1. Quit iPhoto.
    2. Go to your Pictures Folder (or where ever you have your Library) and find the iPhoto Library there (Your Donor Library).
    3. Right Click on it, and from the resulting menu select ‘Show Package Contents’. A Finder window will open and the Library will be exposed.
    4. Find the following files
    AlbumData.xml
    AlbumData2.xml
    and move them to the desktop.
    5. Close up the Library and restart iPhoto. This will force iPhoto to rebuild those files which are key to sharing.
    Then restart the other apps and see does that help.
    By the way: where is your Library? On the Start Up Disk? On an external?

  • Pictures are blurry when slideshow is burned to dvd using iPhoto, iMovie and iDvd. How do I correct?

    I used iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD... How do I create a slideshow burned to a DVD without getting blurry images when slideshow is played through DVD a player?

    You created the slideshow using the built-in Ken Burns effect in iPhoto or iMovie? I've never found that to be up to my expectations; additionally, if the people or objects in the pictures have certain designs (in their clothes), using movement can blur them. I use Photo to Movie myself - to me it creates the smoothest movement in slideshows. Another possibility is the size of your images: did you increase or decrease their original size? And when you encoded it, what settings did you use? I use the Share > Quicktime > Expert settings and then choose these options:
    I've found that these settings result in the most lossless conversion. After the new .mov file is saved to the desktop, I then add it to iDVD after creating a customized menu and theme.

  • IPhoto and iDVD won't open after I reinstalled iLife '08

    I was unhappy with iMovie '08, so I tried to load an older version from my iLife '05. However, it copied over all of my iLife '08 apps. I was hoping it would give me the option of just installing the iMovie app. Everything opened except for iPhoto and iDVD. I then reinstalled iLife '08, to try and fix the problem, from the bundled software that came with the computer. But still, iPhoto and iDVD don't open. Here's what iPhoto report says...

    delete all of your iLife applications and your iLife receipts - do not do anything with your iPhoto library
    Install iLife '08 and go to the Apple downloads page and download iPhoto 06 (a free download for iLife '08 owners) and install it and you will have the best of both worlds iLife '08 and iMovie 06

    I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have just bought Apple iLife 11 on dvd so that I can install iWeb and iDVD, as macs no longer ship with these apps. When I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate.
    Next problem is that when moving through the installer and get to custom install, as I only want to install iDVD and iWeb, I am presented with the option to install iDVD, Sounds & Jingles and iWeb, but not sure what is going on with the other 3 options iLife Support etc, they seem to be greyed out but still look like they may install over the top of the newer versions already on my imac. Is it ok for me to just go ahead and hit install? Or do I have a problem?

    Yep, just install iDVD (plus sounds and jingles) and iWeb if you want it (but note that iWeb apparently won't work if you upgrade to Mountain Lion).
    Then use Software Update to get any late iDVD updates.

  • I use Magic iDVD to burn complete movies and have started having a problem multiplexing and burning. I need to know what I can do about it so I can burn my movies.

    I have been burning movies with iDVD for several years and once in a while it has trouble multiplexing. Usually I can fix it by doing a combination fix of turning off my laptop and unplugging for 20 minutes. Then when I'm ready to turn it back on, I plug it in, wait five seconds then turn it on. I then clean the disc drive with a dry brush cleaner disc. That has usually done the trick. Not any more. I'm stuck and don't know what else I can try. I have plenty of space on my hard drive, about 70 GB, which has always been sufficient for burning discs. If there is anyone out there whoi can help me, I'd sure appreciate it.

  • How do I move and operate iPhoto from an EHD

    Need to free up space on IHD - want to move iPhoto (11 - 9.5.1) to EHD - have over 24K photos/videos.  I just purchased iPhoto Library Manager (sweet!) and have cleaned up my photos/videos and broken down into 12 different libraries.  How do I implelment the transition to placing my libraries on an EHD (WD My Passport Studio) and operating iPhoto from there and deleting from my MacBk Pro (Mavericks)?  Also, backup that EHD library with my Time Machine Backups.  I've read many articles but just not getting it - especially cannot find how to operate iPhoto from an EHD.  Are the libraries going to show duplicated with backups, etc. and become confusing.....  need help!  Thanks!

    Your question is rather convoluted and not clear
    First off having 12 libraries is really not a good idea but if you want to do that it certainly is yoru choice - I strongly recommend you reconsider - a single library is almost always the best way to operate
    If you really =want 12 librearies then the following instructions must be followed for each of them -
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
