Picture resolution....please help!!!

my photos are looking great in iphoto and even in the preview, but as soon as i import them to imovie they look like they have been taken down at least 3 notches in the resolution department. any advice? i am new to this, but have played around quite a bit with some other photos and have not had any problems except with this project. suggections???
MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

Hi t
Just to sort out the most obvious.
1. iMovie doesn't show the end result but mere an approximation in the Canvas viewer.
2. movies that are aimed for TV viewing has to have same resolution as a TV-set
PAL = 625 lines vertically (768 x 576 pixels)
NTSC = 5xx lines (640 x 480 pixels)
3. With Mac OS X.4.8 and iMovie 5.0.2 I would use QuickTime 6.5.2 (not v.7)
To be able to keep control over final movie quality I've connected my Camera
to an extra TV-set by the analog out on it. This makes it possibly to view
what iMovie really does. (You need to set - play back to Camera - in iMovie
pref.)

  • I have forgotten my password for iPod Touch 4G and it is now disabled. I tried connecting to iTunes but i haven't synced before and i need to enter the password before i can back it up so i can restore it. I don't want to lose pictures so please help!

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. That is how it works
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • HT5622 I lost all my pictures! Please help:( I added all my photo to a new album from the camera roll and i delete the picture that already move to new album, at last all my picture was gone !:'( Please, anyway to recover back all my photo? please help :'

    I lost all my pictures! Please help:( I added all my photo to a new album from the camera roll and i delete the picture that already move to new album, at last all my picture was gone !:'( Please, anyway to recover back all my photo? please help :'( Apple Service Center or Branch can help?

    Albums is a way or sorting photos. Photos aren't moved from the Camera roll. The Camera Roll consists of all the photos on the phone. If you delete from Camera Roll they are deleted everywhere but Photo Stream.
    Are you using Photo Stream? Your photos, providing they wer recent should still be in Photo Stream. If you have Photo Stream set up on your computer they should all be there.

  • Why doesn't my Windows 7 PC see my iPhone pictures? Please help!!

    Hello everyone! I JUST got my iPhone 3g/3gs yesterday. So, I already took a few pictures and videos with it. I was excited to put them on my Windows 7 PC, do some editing, make some videos, etc. Anyway, I plugged the phone into my computer and then I decided to drag two of the videos onto my desktop. Once I did that, I unplugged the phone and decided to take one more short little video to add to the project that I was doing. So, I went to plug the phone into the computer again. And the weird thing was, it said there were no pictures or videos. I knew there were, but I checked the phone anyway. Sure enough, there were pictures and videos. So, I tried putting them onto my computer 3+ times and I continued to get the message.
    ^^^^^ (Here is what I did: 'Computer'>>'Apple iPhone'>>'Internal Storage'>>'DCIM')
    Can someone please help me? I have only had the phone for a little over a day now and I am already having problems!
    Thank you all so much!!
    Also: Sorry if this is in the wrong place, it's my first post on this site.

    Does anyone have any idea what my issue might be?
    Thank you!!

  • Conflicting information about external display resolution - please help!

    I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) with the non-reflective screen, Mini Display Port and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M Graphics processor.
    According to these technical specifications (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP544), the built-in NVIDIA GeForce 9400M Graphics processor supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on an external display.
    Armed with this information, I just purchased a shiny, new DELL U2711 (http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd&sku= 224-8284&redirect=1) external display which has a resolution of 2560 x 1440. Unfortunately, all I can get out of it is 1920 x 1080 (This is the maximum resolution I can select in the monitors system preferences panel.)
    So Apple tells me this graphics card supports 2560 x 1600, but I also contacted NVIDIA directly who told me that this particular card's maximum resolution is 1920 x 1080.
    Somebody has to be wrong. Is this monitor supported? Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to send this monitor back and buy a smaller display?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    O

    Well - seeing as nobody could provide any help on this, I'll post the answer in case anybody else has the same problem.
    It turns out that the monitor's resolution IS supported by the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, so the information NVIDIA gave me was wrong.
    The issue was the adaptor.
    A regular Mini Display > DVI adaptor can only handle a resolution of 1920 x 1080. Turns out I needed a Mini Display > DUAL LINK DVI Adapter, which is a combination of USB and DVI which provides the required resolution of 2560 x 1600.

  • Picture in Picture rotation - please help

    I am inserting a logo into the end title scene of an interview. The logo is Portrait but when I click the inspector for the logo picture to crop it, it only allows me to do so in Landscape (the box is Landscape). Can I rotate the box?
    Any help much appreciated, thanks!

    Hey Hannah320,
    You definitely can do this. If you click on the gear wheel on the clip, open up the crop tab. You will see a left and right arrow. Click on on one of those to flip the image to the direction you desire.
    Check out this site if you have any questions about that. http://imovietutorialhelp.com/how-to-flip-an-upside-down-movie-in-imovie.html
    It's a great resource for any iMovie questions. It answers this question as well.

  • IMessage cannot send out pictures. Please help?

    Hello, I am unable to send out pictures on iMessage - texts are fine.
    It simply shows the red error icon & states Not Delivered.
    Only pictures cannot be delivered, texts are completely unaffected. Definitely not a network issue.
    Is anyone facing this same problem???

    I was having the same problem on my iPhone 4S and my iPad. I found that if the person i was trying to send them too had not done the latest update then I would get the "Not Delivered" message. So I updated said persons phone and now I have no problem sending and they no longer have a problem receiving them.. Hope this helps out! :)

  • IMovie08 pictures. Please help me!!

    When I put all my pictures into iMovie between the pictures there is a split second of the next picture but it is distorted, it's either smaller or not cropped to fit the screen. This happens fairly often but not between every slid. It's very annoying and don't want to have to go cut every part out. If anyone has any suggestions or knows what is happening please let me know. It would be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, if you don't have a back up there isn't anything you can do.

  • Picture Question, please help!

    To anybody who may know the answer:
    I received my iPod nano yesterday, and I have put a couple pictures on it. They were transferred successfully, and I have been able to view them on the iPod. But recently, the pictures stopped showing up, although they were still there---the screen just turned up black when I tried to view a picture. So, after this happened, I charged my iPod, but still no luck. So, I plugged my nano into the computer, and re-tranferred the pictures. This made the pictures on the iPod work again, but shortly after, they stopped showing up. Has anybody had this problem, or know the reason why this continues to happen? Thank you very much for the help.
    Chris

    Hey everybody,
    Thanks for the advice! I'm not quite sure what the problem is, but it has happened to all my pictures---new and old. I don't believe that it has anything to do with the slideshow because when I got to my pictures, all that shows up in a white box with a smaller gray box inside of it. Actually, now that I think about it, I noticed some of the nano's in the apple stores have done the same thing...I have tried resetting it, and that works, but it has happened multiple times. Do you think it is a craftmanship error? Do you think it's covered by the warranty? I just don't want to have to reset my iPod every time I want to view my pictures...that's not what I paid for! lol Let me know your thoughts! Thanks a ton!

  • Trying to convert to word. Half the text is missing and all the pictures. Please help ASAP

    Need help converting to word. Not showing text or images

    I'm sorry that didn't work. Are you experiencing the same issue no matter what file you try to convert to Word? Or is the problem specific to one file? Knowing the following can help us get to the bottom of the issue:
    What kind of content is in the PDF: text, scanned text, images, tables, signatures (can be a problem), smudges, etc.?
    How was the PDF created and in what program: Acrobat, MS Word, LiveCycle, scanner utility, or some other application? Some applications are not as fussy about following PDF conventions. (If you don't know, you can open the file in Reader and choose File > Properties.  Look for PDF Producer, Application, and PDF Version).
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,
    Sara

  • HT201302 copy/pasted videos have quicktime logo icons instead of a picture.. please help!

    I manually copy/pasted my pictures and videos from my iphone into my computer. No problem coping, however videos copied into my computer as icons with quicktime face on them. I can't tell which videos is what! How can I change the face of the icons from quicktime logo to initial pictures of the videos? I thought this may be hapenning because I don't have a MAC, but when I view my videos via iphone icon in the computer, face of the videos are all there and normal. So, I guess the issue is not the type of the computer.

    OK, this seems the closest thread to what's going on here. I've got a late-2008 Macbook Pro, 10.5.8. Icons on the desktop and in finder windows are showing generic icons instead of the application-specific ones. Funny thing is, if I do a relaunch of the Finder (option-click/hold Finder icon in dock to bring up the menu), the specific icons will show up, but after a second or two will switch back to the generic ones. ??

  • 10.6.3 - Problems and Attempts at Resolution - Please Help

    It was recommended to me by a regular contributor (RC-R) to put together in one place all the problems I've had and all the solutions I've tried. So here goes.
    Problems:
    (1) Major issue is that my 20" Alu iMac is randomly sent into a sleep mode from which it cannot be awoken - it happens instantly and without warning.
    (2) The issue started immediately after installing 10.6.3 and nothing like it occurred beforehand.
    (3) The issue seems acerbated by using Safari and often occurs within a few minutes of using Apple's web browser.
    (4) Long stretches of avoiding the problem seem possible if using Firefox or Chrome instead.
    (5) Using switching and start-up take longer and sometimes freeze altogether - everything is slower.
    Attempts at restoring normality:
    (1) First of all I disable and then finally uninstalled Rapport banking security software - since this was one of the last programs to be installed and I'd seen reports of problems elsewhere - thought this might be why Safari brought the system down. Didn't resolve the problem
    (2) I'd been having problems with Adobe's installer unable to upgrade Acrobat, and in order to resolve this I reinstalled entirely and got everything cleaned up so there was then no upgrade problems. This didn't resolve the problem either
    (3) I did a reinstall of Snow Leopard and installed all updates again. Still no resolution
    (4) I've also repaired permissions on the disk. But again, you guessed it - still crashes
    Note: I have a MacBook (Alu) with 10.6.3 installed - no problems whatsoever and the programs installed are virtually identical with the exception of VMWare Fusion.
    My Apple Care is close to an end for the machine, so my next step seems to be get the iMac ready to return to Apple before it is too late. Because it looks like a software issue but is acting like a hardware one. The reason I'm assuming it is not a coincidence is because others have had similar problems

    Tried to reinstall 10.6 from DVD, but installation failed - twice.
    Failed how?
    What now? Disk Utility? Format Hard-drive? What is the best way of going about these things?
    It's hard to give any specific recommendations without more information. You could simply have a third-party app that's acting up, or maybe your past reinstalls weren't done correctly. So it's possible that there are less drastic solutions than what I'm about to tell you to do. But, as you say, you just need it working, and sometimes a good "nuke & pave" is quicker than fiddling around.
    Make sure you've got a good backup (see my [Mac Backup Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/backups>). Then, boot from the install disk and switch to Disk Utility. Erase the hard drive. When done, just for the heck of it, repair the drive. If there are problems, post back here.
    Now quit Disk Utility and reinstall the system. Once you're done and booted into the new system, run Software Update and install all updates. After that's done and you've rebooted, do it again, continuing until Software Update says you're up-to-date. Now install any third-party apps from scratch, avoiding any initially that you don't absolutely need. (Install those later, once you know your system is stable, and has been for a while.)
    Finally, import your data into the new account. I recommend the manual route, though you could also use Migration Assistant to import from a Time Machine backup or clone. If you use Migration assistant, you have to be cautious not to import a bunch of potentially damaged system settings files. (You'll want to reconfigure your network settings from scratch, for example, rather than importing those settings from the backup.) If you want to go the manual route but aren't sure where to find everything, let us know.

  • There are colors on the screen when I try to take a picture. Please help.

    Hi, I'm not sure if I'm in the right community but when I try to take a picture I look at the screen and it has a white line going through the top part of the screen. There are white spots all over the lens. There is blue and red parts in the camera. When you move the phone the colors move around. The camera is very blurry and is not focusing.

    Sounds like software - Hope you have a recent back up already as with this issue do not really want to make a back up of the device now.
    Will want to restore the iPhone and after restore 1st set up as New and test the camera after setting up as new.
    If good then can try to restore from a back up. If still good, good. If notice same thing with camera after restoreing from a back up when that back up is no good, will have to erase all content and settings and continue with set up as new.
    Good luck!
