Moving pictures in iMovie slideshow

I have started a slideshow project in iMovie, but now that I have the pictures in iMovie, I am finding them much harder to put in order than in iPhoto. Would it be better to start over by putting them in order in iPhoto? And if I do that, will they be in the same order when I transfer them to iMovie?

You can put them in order in an iPhoto Album. Then in the Photo Browser in iMovie, you can drag the icon for the album into your movie all at once, and the photos should stay in order.
You can also drag an iPhoto Event into your movie, but the photos will not be in order.

Terrible Loss of Contrast Playing iMovie slideshow

I am stumped! I have tried to compile a slideshow using iPhoto and iMovie. These are old black and white photos that were scanned. When I burn them to a DVD they look okay on my monitor, but when I play the DVD on a big screen TV or in a large projection format the facial contrast is blown out to almost white on most photos. I've tried adjustiing in Photoshop before sending the jpeg's directly into iPhoto or iMovie. Nothing seems to work. Also, when I use the Ken Burns effect there is noticible pixilation in the movement. Can anyone help me?

Besides calibrating the monitor (..and its 'theta' ..no, sorry: 'gamma'..) what about the TV / projector?
Many are notoriously incorrectly set up ..just go into any TV shop and see the range of different brightnesses/contrasts/tuning and clarity on all the different TVs.
It may be that your monitor's OK, but the TV is wildly out, and set to too high a contrast and incorrect brightness setting. Many modern TVs adjust their own brightness and contrast to match the general 'ambient' brightness in a room, so that the picture's bright enough to watch with the curtains open in daylight. As the room gets darker, the TV adjusts its own settings downwards (reduces it own brightness & contrast) to match.
Many projectors show little fine detail, but just 'blast' pictures at a screen to give maximum impact.
I'd try a variety of different TVs. Oh, and TVs don't have the fine resolution (..nor generally do projectors..) which monitors have. So you'll almost always see far more detail and gradation on a monitor than on a TV. TVs are built for watching moving pictures from across the room, or from several feet away, and not for looking at static pictures with fine detail from only a foot or so away, as you do with a monitor.
So don't expect too much from a TV..

Can I drop an IMovie Slideshow with music into IDVD?

Hello,
I created (and it took a long time) a slideshow with music using IMovie. Now I want to burn it to a DVD and am realizing I need to put it into IDVD. I saved it to my desktop and then dropped it into the IDVD Magic program but it does not save the slideshow. Or if it does, I can't seem to figure out how to play it. I also can't figure out how to choose the picture for the IDVD theme page. Any help with how to burn my IMovie slideshow on a DVD using either IDVD or some other way, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Or if it does, I can't seem to figure out how to play it.
Click on the "Preview" button in the bottom left corner of the iDVD window. For more details go to iDVD Help: >_Making a Magic iDVD_
I also can't figure out how to choose the picture for the IDVD theme page.
Once you have added your slideshowGo to Help: _Adding images and movies to drop zones_
Any help with how to burn my IMovie slideshow on a DVD using either IDVD or some other way, would be greatly appreciated.
I am not familiar with the workings Magic DVD, but if you have already created the slideshow, it might be just as easy to follow the regular route in making this project. If you wish to try this, follow these steps.
1. Open iDVD, select to create a new project, and name it.
2. Select the theme.
3. Import your slideshow into iDVD. Go to your movies folder (or wherever your project is saved), and drag the iMovie icon (the one with the star) to the window of your iDVD project. Avoid drop zones.
4. You can add photos to the drop zones by clicking on the "Media" Button in the bottom right corner, and then on "Photos". Just drag and drop the photos to their desired location.
5. Preview by clicking on the triangle at the bottom of the window.
6. When you are ready to burn, first go to File>Save as disk image. This will allow you to have a final check of your project before burning to DVD. You can see how this project will actually play when played on a regular DVD player. If everything is fine, you can then burn the DVD using Disk Utility.
I hope this helps.

Importing iphoto 09 pictures into imovie 09 with ken burns movement!

Im making a video on imovie 09 using still images i took and imported to iphoto. Then i import those iphoto pictures into imovie, BUT all the pictures have moving "ken burns" crop effects on them after i import them to imovie!!! i know how to fix it, by going to the "crop tool" and "ken burns" adjusting the start and end effect of this movement but my question is....
how do i change this setting so I dont have to tediously use the cropping ken burns tool on every clip which will probably make all the images appear shaky??????

Go to FILE/PROJECT PROPERTIES and you can set the default behavior when importing photos to the project.

Can you take a snapshot or picture from IMovies?

Can you take a snapshot or picture from IMOVIES? On my PC I simply paused the video and hit something that said snapshot and it was done.
I am struggling a little bit with IMOVIES as I have never had APPLE before. Like it, but am new to it.

I think you may be confused as to your terminology.
iMovie is an app that edits video.
I am guessing you are talking about just playing a video in Quicktime?
To do a screen grab on a Mac press Command+Shift+3
This will save the image to the desktop.
BTW you are posting in the iMovie iOS forum.
This forum is for editing video on an iPad or iPhone.
I will get your post moved to a better forum.

Posterized Sunset Pictures in iMovie

I have sunset photos taken in Aruba with a Canon EOS 40 D camera shot in RAW at high resolution. I use Photoshop CS4 to print, use iPhoto 9, Aperture 2 and Lightroom 2 for slideshows, and they all look great; however, when I bring a picture into iMovie and/or iDVD because I want to burn a DVD with music, all of the sunset photos become posterized, but any other photos appear fine. Sunset pictures are not posterized in iPhoto 9, Aperture 2, Lightroom 2, and even Adobe Premiere Elements in Windows XP. What is happening and how do I avoid this? The only way I have found is to desaturate the photos, but then they do not look like a sunset picture and it defeats the purpose. Your help is appreciated.

since this is an iMovie question it probably will be best to post in the iMovie forum - http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=141

Why don't pictures from a slideshow made in iPhoto and then burned on to a DVD in iDVD not use the full screen?

Why don't pictures from a slideshow made in iPhoto and then burned on to a DVD in iDVD not use the full screen?

All I want to do is send my family the pictures for them to be able to see them on most dvds and use manually control.
If you want set top DVD player playback, I suggest you create a a series of slideshows IN iDVD that each contain a MAXIMUM of 99 images. Do not create the slideshow in iPhoto or iMovie.
Is there an easier way to do this, bypassing iDVD?
Some DVD players will play a disc containing jpeg images

How do I insert a picture into iMovie regardless of aspect ratio

When I insert a picture, i either have the choice of cropping the picture or having black bars on the sides. How can I insert a picture into imovie and not be dictated based on the aspect ratio. thanks

Must be one of the wonderful improvements introduced in iMovie 11.
nope, never.
look:
example #1: a 1:1 pic in a 16:9 screen
option A bars l/r
option B cat-off
example #2: a wiiiide screen pic in a 16:9 screen
option A bars t/b
option B catcut off
and you don't want kitty look like that:
(1:1 aspect ratio distorted to make fit onto a 16:9 screen)

Cannot see still pictures in iMovie from iPhoto. Please help!!!

I had a few pictures sent to me via e-mail and I was able to download and open them through iPhoto. However, I am unable to view them with my other iPhoto pictures in iMovie. Have you ever heard of this happening and do you know how I can get the photos to appear in iMovie?

I'm not sure about the viewing them but I know if your pictures come out blurry, transfer them by USB. Maybe you could try that with the pictures you sent via e-mail because email kind of messes up the pictures.

Picture Titles in Slideshow, different from filenames

I want to add a different title to each picture in a slideshow, but don't want to use filenames for this purpose. How do I do that?
My filenames work fine for filing, but are not suitable for enhancing a slideshow.

I'm new to Lightroom, but am trying to set up my slideshow first session presentation. I want the filename to show with each slide for identification purposes. But, I can't seem to find where to turn the filename on/off. I'm sure it's a simple operation, but I sure can't find it at the moment!!!!
Thanks,
Jim...

Needing help with moving pictures around

I am in need of help in moving pictures and images around
dreamweaver document window. My older brother gave me his computer
witch has dreamweaver MX (he is in Irag) so i can start building
building my own websites. I went to borders and bought a book on
dreamweaver MX. Here is where I am having a problem with: when ever
I bring a picture into the document window I can not move the
picture around the document window. The book say "place the
insertion point where you want the image to appear" but there is no
insertion point. There is just a straight line as if I am about to
type something. It's almost like I am in microsoft word. If I take
the mouse over the picture , and then left click and try to drag
the picture to the location I want it in, it doesn't move. Can
somebody PLEASE help me out with this problem. Thanks Jical

Nadia gave you a good place to start… Here is what you
have to understand. Web pages are based on specific code that tells
the viewer’s browser how to display the page. There has to be
something that says, “Put this picture in the lower right
hand corner, and center this image in the middle of the
screen”
Then there are further instructions that say “Put this
text here and that link there”. So Dreamweaver (and most
other web developing programs) do not work like Illustrator or
PowerPoint where you can simply grab a picture and slide it around
the page.
In its simplest form you might drag an image onto the
Dreamweaver design view page and click on the center button in the
properties dialog.
Then type in text and center it, left justify, right justify,
etc. Add another picture and so on and you could possibly create a
passable web page. Now click on the Code view button and see what
code Dreamweaver generated in order to do all of this.
That is what you will really need to understand before you
can really get proficient at web design.
At the next level, you can start to add in tables. These
actually are similar to tables in Word. You can put text in one
cell, images in another, colored backgrounds, thick and thin
borders with contrasting colors, and you can start to see how to
“contain” your images as Nadia suggests.
Now look at the code again and see how these cells are
defined around your content.
Once you understand how this works, you will get much more
comfortable with Dreamweaver. You will just have to get used to the
idea that it doesn’t work like all of the publishing software
that is only dependant upon its own format for layout. HTML is
dependant upon the many browsers, computers, operating systems,
user preferences, and a million other unknown factors.
That’s why this forum has more than 91,000 posts…
