Placing Pictures in iMovie problems

I'm trying to a make a clip with pictures (JPG) and quicktime clips and when I play the movie to preview it some of the pictures aren't showing...
What am I doing wrong???

Hi
When iMovie starts to behave strangely the problem most often are either:
• to low free space on internal (start-up) hard disk - 10Gb minimum I go for 25Gb
• iMovie pref file got corrupted. Starting a new user/account forces iMovie to do
a new error-free one.
Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:
Many possible origins. Most common:
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disc if it is less than 10Gb should raher have 25Gb
• Hard disc is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disc (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new account - log into this and re-try
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK
• Program miss-match: iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.3 - is OK

I cannot drop any pictures in iMovie 9 (no problem with video)

I cannot add any pictures in iMovie 9. I have no problem with videos, but when I want to drag and drop pictures, it does not work. (Pictures do not drop..) Does anyone know how to do?
Thank you a lot

You need to create a play list of songs that you would use for movies - mine is called Music for Movies. Then when you click on the music icon (the first box in the line of 5 in the grey bar across the lower third of the screen) and a drop down menu will appear showing all your play lists. Then simply drag and drop, but make sure that you hover over the video clip that you want to add the music to. If you don't the music will be added to the start of your presentation. You can always move the position afterwards. NOTE - if you want to add to your play list do it before you start your video editing as the list does not always update when I Movie.

Por quality still pictures in Imovie

I am having this problem I hope someone out there can help!!!!!
I am making a movie only using still pictures (in imovie) and the result is that the pictures are not as clear as they are in iphoto.
Is there a way to improve the quality of the still pictures in imovie to at least match the qualiity of the originals?

Hi m
The quality of photos are a multi layered question:
a. The quality is severly lower on a TV-set than any computer monitor.
To be able to judge the final quality I have connected my Camera FireWire
end to the Mac and the analog end to a SCART adapter and a TV-set.
Now I can see what the result really will be on the TV.
(625 horisontal lines in PAL is maximum, 480 or 520 I think in NTSC)
(on a screen You can have say 854 x 1280 or even more)
b. The Mac showes different qualities on the screen depending on Your
choise and the Mac's capasity. (see iMovie prefs)
c. When rendering Your movie from iMovie to iDVD - severe damage will
occure if You use the Share/Export to iDVD from within iMovie and accepts
the question RENDER?. I don't do it like that. I close iMovie and drop the
project icon (with a star on it) into an open iDVD theme window.
The result is better.

Adding pictures in imovie doesn't work

Hi there,
I am trying to add some pictures in iMovie '11. Up to now everything went great, but all of a sudden, I can't add any pictures anymore. All it does now, is add the last pictures in stead of the picture I swiped into my project. Can someone please help me with this project? It's pretty urgent.
Thanks a lot peepz.

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

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)

I have a MacBook Pro and OS10.6 and am trying to log into a site that requires me to enter a code from a picture ... problem is all I get on the screen is a white '?' in a blue box. What do I need to display the picture?

Reload the page. If it doesn't load, choose Activity from Safari's Window menu, find that picture in the list, and see what it says to the right; this may reveal what the problem is.

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.

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

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.

Help InDesign CS5 hanging when placing pictures - OS 10.8.5

Hi guys
I am having a real issue. I have upgraded my early 2011macbook pro to mountain lion 10.8.5. Since then InDesign has be awful when placing pictures into a document. I just get the spinning wheel of death and it takes ages to load a selection. Whilst running activity monitor the app shows as not responding. I have run all updates and this has made no difference. Even re-installed and deleted prefs. Is anyone else having this issue? Any advice would be great.
Thanks
Maria

Hi Maria. Was this an in-place upgrade, or a clean install of the new OS? If an upgrade, it may or may not work well with ID, even if you reinstall the program (which you should do). Adobe apps, especially InDesing don't react well to upgrading the OS or migration.
