Photo montage software that integrates well with iMovie and iPhoto?

Hello,
I need to do more complex photo montages that what iPhoto slideshow and iMovie has to offer. Does anyone have any recommendations for a software that integrates with the iLife software easily so it's fairly seamless? I need to produce professional-quality photo montages (ideally using photos and video, but I can pull the video in with iMovie or FCE after I do the photo section if I need to do so).
Thanks for your recommendations!

HD camcorder that works well with iMovie - recommendations

Any recommendation for a reasonably price HD camcorder that works well with iMovie? I've been researching the Sony HDR-CX260V. It's on the list of compatible cameras but says it will not work when it's set to 1080/60p.
I just want something that I can plug in and import video without a lot of hassle.
Thanks!

Here is an Apple published list: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2948 . Just about any DV, HDV and AVCHD camcorder buit by the big Japanese manufacturer's: Canon, JVC, Panasonic or Sony will work, even the newer one's, not on the list. Don't bother with the new Sanyo if you want simple Plug-n-play. This web site: http://www.camcorderinfo.com/ratings.php# , has good reviews, so pick your priorities, costs, etc. Best of luck.

I need to find a new email provider. One that integrates well with my 'mail.' I will also need to figure out how to notify everyone in my 'address book' of my change. I've been okay with earthlink but it's getting too expensive. Please advise. Jack

I use a OLD G3 when I travel and mostly I am connecting over the satellites which is not really the best connection.
I use GMX which is free and never have a problem getting my emails from anywhere even in the middle of the oceans.
It does work using Apple mail and the adress book

I need to record a webinar; can that be done with imovie and if so, how?

If you want to record a Webinar, you will probably need screen capture software. Every recent Mac comes with QuickTime Player X, which will do this. Just click FIle/New Screen Recording. Then click on the red button to start recording.

What's a good cell phone from Cingular that integrates well with iSync

Hello
I just purchased a Nokia 6102i from Cingular after their sales lady said the phone worked with iSync. I told her I didn't see the model listed on the Apple iSync supported phones web page, but she said not to worry. Well, the phone just arrived and when I tried to iSync it with my Address Book, I'm getting an iSync window saying: "This device is not supported by ISnyc."
No big deal, I'll just return the phone, but next attempt, I want to get a model from Cingular that works well with iSync. Can anyone advise me? Perhaps a Razor, but what I might really want is a smart phone.
Appreciate any comments, thanks
Craig

I can answer the last part of that question. I'm disappointed the Nokia 6102i will not transmit photos via bluetooth to my Mac. iSyncing addresses and calendar works like a champ, just not sending photos (and I suppose other files) from the phone. However, on my MBP, I can open up the Bluetooth File Exchange program and both get the 6102i pics, as well as send photos to the phone. So, not bad, there is a work around.

Problem with iTunes compatability with iMovie and iPhoto

I purchased some music from the iTunes music store and wanted to use that music in a homemade DVD I made. I also have tried using the purchased music when I play a slideshow in iPhoto. In both instances, an error window popped up saying that I needed to launch iTunes and authorize the computer to play the song... Well I bougth the music on the same computer and it is authorized. I typed in the authorization anyways and then after that iMovie and iPhoto both pop up with an error saying that it can't use the file.
Thinking it might just be one song file... I have tried this with many purchased song. I have had the same problem with all of the purchased songs I've tried.
Are some purchased songs not compatable with the iLife applications? How can I fix this problem? I'm running iLife 05 and I have installed all of the updates, including the most recent...
iTunes 6.0.2
iPhoto 5.0.4
iMovie HD 5.0.2

Has anyone found a photo-mosaic program that works well with Aperture?

I'd like to make all the photos in a Library available, without duplicating them. Seems a shoe-in for a plug-in, but perhaps there is no demand.
Never done mosaics, so all rec's welcome. .
Thanks.

Never done mosaics, so all rec's welcome.
I have never done that before either, but I just downloaded the trial version of mazaika:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/33417/mazaika
It can import projects and smart albums from Aperture and iPhoto, then you import a template image, and then Mozaika will create a mozaik - I found it intuitive and easy to use. But it is no free software and the trial is restricted to 2000x2000 pixels. So it is hard to judge, how good the result will be.

FFox is brilliant - thank you! I rarely have any prob. - as I did w/ earlier IE. Do you have a component to help w/ graphic design (gd)? If not, can you recomm. gd software (that interfaces well with FFox) - pref. for me to try out, use a tutorial?

Pls excuse if this ques. is not approp. for Support. ~ S.

You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

Any thoughts on HD camcorders that work well with iMovie on an iMac?

I want to be able to "plug and download" like I do today with my digital tape recorder. Looking at Sony and Canon HD recorders but hear conflicting things about ease of "plug and Download".

Editing Still Images with iMovie and iPhoto

How do I turn "stills" created from imported film footage into jpegs? Basically I want to export still images from my videos into iphoto so I can edit and print the images - any ideas? When I drag the still images within iMovie 08 they won't drag to either the desktop or iphoto. HELP!

1) Position your cursor where you want to create the still.
2) Right-click (or control-click) and select "add still frame to project
3) Right-click on the still frame that has been added to your project and select "Reveal in Finder"
4) Right click on the jpeg file that has been revealed in the finder and select "copy"
5) Paste the jpeg file onto the desktop or within a folder.
6) Drag the jpeg file into iPhoto.

Can someone recommend a NAS device that works well with Macs?

I need to have a NAS (network attached storage) device that can be freely accessed by windows and mac computers. I rashly purchased an HP Mediavault; it was only $300 and has 2 500GB drives that I configured as raid-1 for safety. however if I load up a folder with 4000 files in it and browse to that directory, the mac finder thinks about this for say 30 seconds before it lists the files. The Windows machine can view the files in perhaps 4 seconds. I know that Macs have a slow file system but watching the little light blink on the NAS box and waiting so long is getting real annoying. Has anyone found a box that works well with macs and has good performance? These devices are so cheap now they must have crappy processors and stupid firmware. Perhaps someone can recommend a model that has some snap. I also need remote access via the web, and the insane HP software can only upload single files, can't upload a folder, which when you are working with 30,000 files like I am is no fun at all!

It's not really the brand as it is available printer drivers. Just be sure you verify that there is an available OS X printer driver.
OS X- Printer and scanner software available for download
Check the manufacturer's website for available printer drivers for any model in which you are interested.

IMovie and iPhoto '08 - Crashing hard

Has anyone else experienced repeated crashes (system level) with iMovie and iPhoto '08? I mean where you have to use the power button to restart the computer...
I have a new iMac (2007) and haven't done much messing with loading extensions and utilities. So I would expect it to be stable as Apple could make it. And yet, I still get that Spinning Colorwheel with both these new iLife '08 products. Anyone else?

This last time I had downloaded Adobe Flash Player DMG file which created that "virtual disk." After installing, I pulled it to trash which "ejected" it. But iMovie was in the background at that time. The computer only proceeded to the non-responsive state when I switched to iMovie and did a Quit.
Doesn't sound like the same thing. I my example, iMovie thinks there is a video camera connected to the computer and attempts to import the (in my case) unencrypted VOB files. So it reads the files and generates thumbnails for all the video and places it in a new and separate "Import" selection window. This, of course, seems to take forever and all the while the beachball is spinning away any time the cursor hovers above anything "active" as a part of iMovie.
What do you see when you first open iMovie '08 -- any modal messages displayed?
Isn't there supposed to be all sorts of protected multi-tasking controls to prevent this kind of thing these days with a modern OS?
Have you checked the "Activity Monitor" to see what is actually going on? In my case the computer is functioning properly but CPU is being "Hogged" by iMovie to perform tasks it shouldn't be doing. To remedy the situation, all I have to do is close the open file/image that iMovie '08 thinks is a "camera."

I cant find imovie and iphoto

I uploaded my air to Mavericks two weeks ago.
I just realized that I am missing imovie and iphoto!!
Did they be moved to other place or this is a huge bug????
Rita

Hi sberman,
I just realized the reason that I lose imovie and iphoto.
When I got my mac, imovie and iphoto was free as a promotion.
Two weeks ago, my flash drive had some problem and I had to reinstall my mac. I totally forgot that imovie and iphoto is not always a complimentary application, so I didnt back them up.
Now I lose both of them... ((((((
Do you think I can get them back for free at apple store???

Looking for a third-party affiliate program that will integrate well with Adobe Business Catalyst.

Dear Adobe Community,
I am looking for a third-party Affiliate Program that will integrate well with the Adobe Business Catalyst platform.
The requirement is fairly basic, i.e., to track multiple affiliates and down-stream affiliate-to-affiliate referrals. Also looking to report and display these referrals an affiliate’s dashboard.
We have looked into Affiliate Program Software, Affiliate Tracking Software Marketing and would like to entertain other options before making a decision.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! —Thank You!
Kind Regards,
Doug McClure

For what it is worth, I am a fan of NuGen, I have both SEQ 1 and 2 and two stereo enhancing tools (stereoizer and stereoplacer I think they're called). Since I have the SEQ 1 it replaces all Channel EQ's. And the stereotools sound great and very lush, in stead of the more usual cheezy combfilterthingies that pass for stereo enhancing tools.
And I actually like the interfaces. Simple, but stylish, functional and ergonomic (in this case meaning you can see all parameters in a quick glance, no guessing at settings).
