Making a stop motion movie with stills. Please help!

I have a question for someone really smart:)... I am making a stop motion movie on imac with still photos.  when i select a photo from iPhoto, and add it to the imovie project, it is adding multiples of each picture and i have NO idea why.  I dont know if i changed a setting somewhere or what.  This simple project went from fun to frustrating pretty quick.  Any help is GREATLY appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Hi
I would - to test and get project going
• Start a New User account (Apple  Menu - down to System preferences / Accounts)
• Log out and into this
• Now test iMovie and see if all is OK
If not - the problem might lay in iPhoto photo-library - To try to mend this - YOU NEED TIMES - lot's of times - did it Yesterday > 8 hours !
When nothing but Mac OS is up and running
• Keep alt+cmd-keys down - During Full Up-Start of iPhoto
• Now You get a Menu
• Select all options
• KEEP Mac connected to Power-Mains as if lap-top battery might not last the full process
• Have a nice day / book or whatever - as this will take long long time !
Yours Bengt W

  • Making a stop motion movie

    Hi, i've recently shot a stop motion movie. I have transferred the pictures into Iphoto, and opened them up in Imovie, but when i try to add them with a 0:03 frame rate via the photo settings, it does nothing! HELP!

    You could save a lot of time (no imports into iPhoto or iMovie) by creating your video using a dedicated stop motion software app.
    You could also upgrade QuickTime Player to "Pro" ($30) and use the import Image Sequence to build the video. It takes only a few minutes.
    Export this file as DV Stream (or not) and you can use it in iMovie to use its features (titles, transitions and effects).
    iMovie is a DV editing app. Any file format other than .dv will be converted to it.
    You're working with image formats and you may not even want the conversion to "video".
    Tell us the destination format you want to implement and we can help you decide the best course.

  • Stop motion movie

    I'm planning on making a stop motion movie. We've been brain storming a couple ideas and we have some in mind. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for a stop motion movie, or even a regular movie. Our best idea so far was two people skateboarding but with out skateboards. Each one would be trying to out do eachothers tricks. Does anyone have any ideas. We would give you credit in the movie. just so you know were not some kids that don't know what we're doing, we've won 2 contest so far and many more to come.

    Hi y
    Probably on the wrong track but what comes first to my mind is:
    - iTunes
    and here there is a podcast: Brick-films (or Brick movies)
    stop motion with Lego™ blocks.

    There is a version of Firefox 4 available for PPC Macs:
    TenFourFox 4.0.1 Firefox 4 For PowerPC Browser Released
    Version 4.0.1 of TenFour Fox, FloodGap's port of Firefox 4 for Power PC
    Macs that supports both Mac oS X 10.4 and 10.5. has been released.
    Mozilla.org dropped support for OS 10.5 after Firefox 3.6 and for Power
    PC with the fourth beta of Firefox 4.
    TenFourFox uses almost all the same code as Firefox 4 and has nearly all
    the same features, including faster JavaScript, WebM video, and HTML 5
    and CSS 3 support, as well as new and emerging Web features, but with
    the code needed to keep your Power Mac functional and fast. Out of beta
    and it's ready for action, versiob 4.0.1 is a performance, security and
    stability update incorporating Mozilla's Firefox 4.0.1 plus AltiVec acceler
    -ation for WebM and browser graphics, and G5 JavaScript acceleration.
    For more information, visit:
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    Source: from http://www.applelinks.com - posted April 25, 2011)
    Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
    But there is a workaround!
    Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
    Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
    Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
    Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
    With SilverLight, Microsoft attempted to create their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be - but not to universal acclaim. You can read more about it here:
    http://silverlight.net/
    So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac, but even this will not work with Safari 4. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs and does work with Safari 4/5. The solution is to download and install the latest version of Flip4Mac, which now includes a Silverlight component:
    http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm
    But the latest news is that Microsoft will probably abandon Silverlight in favour of HTML5:

  • I can't turn off find my ihone, always show "there was a problem when canceling the registration of this iphone with icloud" please help me. i can't restore my iphone before turn off find my iphone

    i can't turn off find my ihone, always show "there was a problem when canceling the registration of this iphone with icloud" please help me. i can't restore my iphone before turn off find my iphone

    If you are the original owner of the phone and know the Apple ID and password that were used to activate it originally, and if you have an existing backup to restore from, you can force it into recovery mode (which will completely erase it) and restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.  When you do you will encounter activation lock, and will have to provide the ID and password used to activate it originally in order to activate it again.  If you can't, you won't be able to activate and use it.

    Please clarify:
    What is your iPhoto version?
    And what do you mean by "not responding"? Is iPhoto hanging and showing the spinning beachball?
    Can you launch iPhoto, if you hold down the options key while launching and select or create a different library?

    cont contact apple server error please help with ipad touch 4. im just fed up with apple please help me because why is it only apple with these kind of problems?

    If you mean updae server
    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
    Otherwise what server are you talking about
