Picture in Picture or the like of, possible?

I have the latest version of both iMovie and Final Cut Express HD. I enjoy making videos and often do so for my church, school, etc. I was using Cyberlink PowerDirector on Windows and Pinnacle 8. On those programs you can layer videos and photos to create a "picture in picture" like effect. I was wondering if that is possible on Final Cut Express HD or iMovie. I used that feature alot and while I have quite a bit of training on iMovie, I have very little on Final Cut. If anyone could help, it's much appreciated.
Thanks,
mackingtawsh

Forget everything you know about iMovie if you want to learn Final Cut.
The tutorials that came with the software are a wonderful place to start. Tom Wolsky has a book out that is also recommended.
I'm sure a helpful person will jump in here and offer up a whole host of links to other useful resources very soon.
Just to get you started, recognize there are few questions that have not been asked a few times before you arrived. The search function is a terrific resource and I encourage you to use it.
For example: I searched the forum for "picture in picture" and have THESE HITS
In the first page of responses, you'll find the answer to the question neatly spelled out.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your best method would be to connect via USB and transfer that way, since videos are not transferred using photostream.
    However you can stop photos on your mac being added to photostream in the iPhoto preferences > photostream by unchecking the automatic upload box.

  • When I add pictures into MUSE , do the pictures resize for web quality (And so the page loads fast enough) or do I have to do this using an external software like photoshop, etc. ? Thank You

    When I add pictures into MUSE , do the pictures resize for web quality (And so the page loads fast enough) or do I have to do this using an external software like photoshop, etc. ?
    Also is there any way I can change the contact form email for all of my contact forms at once.
    I have over 100 contact forms and i want to make them reach the same email anyway I can do that without going one by one?

    If you have placed the image in Muse using File > Place and then scaled the image down in Muse while editing, then Muse publishes/exports the scaled down/optimized image in final output. When using as a Fill, the output size depends on the Fitting option you setup in the Fill options.
    As for the contact form email, you would need to specify the email address for each form individually. There is no workflow to edit the same for multiple forms at a time.

  • I updated my iMac to lion and now when i leave my desktop and it goes into stand by it like a picture is taken of the screen and when i want to log in the mouse point removes pixels so i can get to the user login screen this never happened ith snow leopar

    i upgraded my iMac to lion and now when i leave my desktop and it goes into stand by mode, its like a picture is taken of the actice desktop and when i want to log in the mouse point removes pixels so i can get to the user login screen this never happened ith snow leopard. does anyone else experience this and is there a fix?

    I have an iMac 8, 1 that I upgraded Leopard to Snow Leopard.  It was totally updated with the latest from Apple when I bought and tried installing Lion.  The upgrade failed, shot my OS and I couldn't boot.  Had the constant spinner on a grey screen..  did a format of the drive, hdd repair and everything came back clean... got back to Snow Leopard and all the updates on it again and then retried the Lion thing... same bs... dead duck.  Crashed my system one too many times.  I can't see where a few small changes, mostly app related can be classified as an OS upgrade and is not compatible with my iMac.  I have the stuff running on my Mac Pro but have yet to notice anything impressive.  I've always used F3 and really didn't require Mission Control.  Just open you app folder for launch pad... duh?  I use the hot corners anyhow.  As far as Safari is concerned... as a power user, Apple missed the boat on that for me.. full screen etc.. Wow.  I don't like the new Mail either..
    As you can see/read, I'm less than impressed with this release from Apple but I own so many of their products that I will have to put up with it for now... somehow the MS logo should apply to this release Steve.

  • Laptop keyboard that Repair Center took picture of is not the same as the one I mailed in

    A little over a week ago I sent my DV7 laptop into HP to have the sound fixed, apparently the sound ports had gone bad. Nothing else was wrong with the machine.  I had worked with the chat technician for around 45 minutes, allowing him access to the computer and all he could find was that the sound ports hardware neeed replacing. Again, the machine was working beautifully except for the sound. After I got the box, I got it correctly packed and picked up by FedEx. After a week I get a call from support telling me there is water or liquid damage not covered by the warranty, do I want to pay $240 to get it repaired. I knew there had never been water damage to my machine. I argued with him and he came down fifty percent to $117. I was not happy. But later, when I got the pictures, I knew from the picture of the keyboard with water spots that it was not mine. I called back and this person allowed me to go up the ladder to the Escalation team. I was called back and the charge I paid with a credit card would either not be charged or reimbursed. I was happy about that until...
    Until I got this note about the repair and the parts needed for repair
    FAN - HEAT SINK
    1 685445-001 SYSTEM BOARD
    1 684559-001 TOP COVER - TOUCHPAD
    685445-001 KEYBOARD
        Had all these parts had been bad, I could not have continued to use my machine with no problems for 2 days, let alone allow a tech to enter my machine with the applet I installed to see the inside and control it. All that was wrong with the machine I sent in was sound. The machine they are saying is fixed is not mine. And, as I said, the picture of the water stained keyboard/ control pad almost looke photoshopped. That was not the machine I had put into the FedEx box a week before. Anyone ever heard of something like this?  Again, this machine had no water damage ever while I had it. It was not until HP service got their hands on it was there anything like this. 
    I am receiving a machine by Tuesday. I don't even know, after all this that it will be my machine. I know I had several stickers on the top of the machine so that will be one test. Of course finding the serial number may be the next, unsure of that. I always just let HP go into my machine when I chat online for help to find all that info. But, my Lord, the pictures sent to me were horrible. Like something left outside in the rain for days. This machine was wonderful and I never would have allowed anything to happen to it that HP has said had happened. I am sure, as I said, that I would not have been able to use it for several days as I waited for the box if it was as the service center said and sent pictures of. I am at a loss. Could it all be just a mistake? Again, I will see on Tuesday, April 1 and write back here about what is what. 
    UPDATE: Though not an explanation of the mystery, HP truly made up for all the worry and confusion of the mysterious water damage. I am very happy all round about everything.

    Why does the top button always brake why as my screen decided to pop off why is the back of my case bending when I have never dropped it why dose this shity phone keep sending text messages as picture messages this is the worst phone av ever had!!

    I know a lot of people with iphone 5 and have never heard them complain about top button always brake and screen that decides to pop off or the back of their case is bending.
    That sounds like a phone that has been dropped a numerous times.

    My question is I want to buy MacBook Pro special specifications but found several languages ​​at the option of the keyboard I want a picture if you choose the keyboard language is Arabic as well please, I want a picture of the plate you include the keyboard letters in Arabic, English or Arabic only together?

    The only photo I could find of a 'genuine' Apple Arabic keyboard (NOT a keyboard cover/skin):
    It's from an older MacBook, it looks like, but I imagine that the MacBook Pro keybaord would be similar.

  • Are all the pictures in Events in the master photos?  Are they duplicates?

    Are all the pictures in Events in the master photos?  Are they duplicates? I need to clean up my events list.

    Here's how iPhoto works.
    Every Photo is in the Library. There are two ways of looking at the Library: Events View and Photos view. There is no duplication here. These are just two doors into the same room, as it were, two ways of showing you the exact same data.
    The Library contains your Master photos.
    Everything else: Albums, Smart Albums, Folders, Slideshows etc simply reference items in the Library. Again there is no duplication, just the same data viewed in different ways. So the photo you see in an Album is the same photo that's in the Event or Photos view of the Library.
    This is like iTunes. Every track is in the Library, each playlist just contains a link to the track.
    To delete from iPhoto: Drag the items from the Library (either Events or Photos View, doesn't matter) to the iPhoto Trash. Empty it, then empty the System Trash.

  • HT4500 I downloaded my hard drive contents from a hard drive Holder to my lap top. I have all of those files but now I cannot find the original pictures and such from the computer before the trasnfer. Hoe do I get them back without losing what I just tran

    I down loaded my entire contents of my desk top hard drive to my lap top. Now I don't know where my original files and pictures are. How do I find them or down load just what I am missing with out losing what I just installed ?

    Hi Again, Well I found Carbon Copy Clone on my old hard drive so I didn't even need to download it. I just dragged it onto my desktop and I did as you said.  Using CCC and within the folder of users which has my folder of old hard drive there now shows a file called.autodiskmounted (whatever that means) and then it has a version of my hard drive below that called hard drive 1, which has nothing, but above both of these folders, there is a folder with an old user name which shows up empty on the hard drive when I search it, but actually shows lots of folders on the CCC. So without getting too excited, it lists some folders and amongst them are folders I cant see normally in the old hard drive, like my safari settings and favourites, and movies music and pictures. However in the movies pictures and music folders I can only see a  blackish square that looks a bit like a blank screen with the text.localised after it .
    Does this mean anything to you / Is there  apossibility they may be there? When I selected my new laptop as the destination i got this message below so I did not proceed any further as I'm not sure it will back up the files I need..
    To avoid system instability, CCC has applied a filter that will exclude system files from the backup task.
    If you would like to restore your Mac OS X system files, restart your computer from the backup volume and try the backup task again.
    If you are trying to restore a single item or folder, click the "?" button for additional suggestions.
    Is it worth giving it a try? Thanks for this btw, its further than I've got before!!

  • Picture-in-picture: how do you distort the angle?

    Hi,
    I used to do this all the time in FCP 3. But for the life of me, I can't figure out how to do it in 5.0.
    I want to change the aspect angle of a picture-in-picture, not just rotate it. I want to make it seem like the picture is at an angle from the viewer, as if the image was on a wall along the road with closer side larger than farther side. A foreshortnening effect.
    Thanks
    humbleradio

    Hi DH.
    Thanks a bunch. I was entering the amounts of distortion thru the motion tab like you suggested as plan B. but that takes forever. Good thing Coast to Coast is on!
    I'll be using the distort tool from now on. A big time saver.
    Regards.
