Portrait to landscape clips for Imovie

Hello!
So I went to a community in a far away province to shoot a documentary, having a lot of confidence that my Iphone 5 can capture all the scenes pretty well. Then when I went home, I transferred all the clips to Imovie and everything was in portrait. All the clips are basically a mess, it is positioned only in the center with big black holes at the sides. I did not know that you need to use the video horizontally, I mean Iphones are originally meant to be used in a portrait manner. Is there any way I can switch the portrait clips into landscape? I tried the rotate-crop thing in Imovie, but it requires cropping a big part of the clip. I really need to finish this project soon and this is a very frustrating flaw for Iphones if there is no way to at least make this work. 
Any help will be great appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hi
NO
or put in a milder way. What's not there is not there - and can not be Magically repaired.
So if Rotate and Crop doesn't work - then only Make-up will make it slightly more attractive.
I mean by Make-up - to make the black pillars or borders nicer as if You use a nice photo of the sky or sea or leafs in a tree as sort of background and then put the rotated picture ontop of this - but now just mildly cropped - it might look better.

  • How do you speed up video clips for Imovie 8?

    How do you speed up video clips for Imovie 8?

    Do you mean get 55 minutes of real time footage to show in only 55 seconds?
    One way that might work but it will take a fair bit of work in multiple repeated steps.
    Select all the footage on the timeline and then use the Turtle/Rabbit slider to speed it all up to the maximum speed allowed. This of course won't be any where close to 55 seconds.
    BUT... export your movie back out to video tape or to a full quality DV format quicktime file. This speeded up version becomes "normal" time. Now reimport to iMovies. Since this is now normal speed as far as iMovie is concerned, you can again use the slider to speed the whole thing up to the max.
    Now just repeat as often as needed to get it as fast as you want. Export back out, reimport, adjust speed, export, import, adjust, etc.

  • Portrait v landscape views for email on iphone5

    How to have email on iphone 5 shift from portrait to landscape view?  Used to work, but now it's stuck on portrait.  Yesterday, it was stuck on landscape.  Maybe it's broke?

    Hello,
    I am afraid it is not possible to create different layout for landscape and portrait versions of website in Muse.
    However, you can preview how it will look in landscape and portrait view.

  • Edit audio clip for imovie '09

    I want to edit out about 14 seconds of the beginning of a song and
    use it in imovie.
    how do i do this?

    Another way is to do it in iMovie. After dragging the full track into iMovie, simply drag the ends in to shorten the track to the section you want. Then reposition (by dragging) that section to the appropriate spot in your movie.
    Just to be clear - when you drag a song into iMovie, drop it onto a thumbnail (not the background) near the position you wish it to play. A green coloured bar will appear just below the thumbnails. This bar can be manipulated as described above.
    If you wish to fine tune, use the Clip Trimmer. Access this by clicking on the small gear icon at the beginning of the track. In the panel that opens select "Clip Trimmer" - a window opens showing the waveforms for the audio track. You can drag the yellow handles to highlight/select the piece you want to play. As you do this, you can view the associated video clip in the viewer at the top right of your screen.

  • How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when opening the program to digitize new clips for new project. i have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what to disable.

    How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when first opening the program to digitize new clips for a new project. It takes forever for it and is very annoying. I have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what would disable this problem.

    You do not need to move your cursor much when pressing the mouse button to cause the tab to tear-off/tear-away into a new tab. No "sensitivity" setting that I am aware of. The tab in the new window can be dragged back to the original window.
    To disable the feature, install this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t/

    Thanks for that info! Even in my time answering questions on iMovie Discussion Group, I never had a good understanding of when and how Optimize Movie came into play. I always would import as Optimized and Large Size and figured that was good enough. But knowing you got much, much more flexibility doing it the way you describe gives me a much better understanding of the different routes you can take into the Event Library.

  • How to create a single action for adding a border and signature for portrait AND landscape images???

    i would love to be able to create a single photoshop action for adding a border, plus a signature in the bottom right corner, that works for both portrait and landscape images.
    need i say more?!
    i already have an action that adds a signature in the centre of the border at the bottom of the image e.g. the image below. what i want though is for that signature to be on the RHS and for the same action to work for portrait images as well.
    supplementary info: reason for this is that I want to be able to export 300 wedding images (mix of landscape and portrait images) from lightroom in my pre-selected order (meaning the files are labelled from 001 to 300, ordered according to how the wedding day unfolded) and then use PS to add the border and the signature, in the same place, and for it to work for both orientations.
    i need this to work for full sized exported jpeg images, i.e. i want the files that i give on CD to my clients to include my signature in this manner. so I don't want to copy the initial layer and then reduce the second layer size to leave a border around the second layer.
    i hope i've been clear and that someone can help me here. I think that this sort of presentation makes such a difference to final printed image, and I DONT want to have to go to all 300 images picking out the landscape from portrait ones (although this may be what I have to do and wouldn't really take that long but surely there's a better way!!!!).
    Thanks in advance photoshoppers ...

    It is actually quite easy to do if you have a good understanding of how Photoshop works.  To be able to handle any size Landscape and Portrait you need to scale the document to a known width or height.  Once the document is resized to the width or height it easy.  When yot resize the document you use Image size with resample NOT checked.  Not a single image pixels is changed all the happens is the documents DPI is set to the proper DPI resolution to print that size.  This lets you add a border sized for and document.  You can use Canvas Size check relative and  leatve the anchor point centered and set width and height to 2" this will add 1"on all sides. Use Canvas size a second time move the anchor point to the top center check relative and set height 1" the will add an additional 1" border on the bottom.  You then record a text layer with your Name title or what ever to the top left of the image. Select all ant the align the text layer to the selection to move it to the bottom right.
    Adding a couple of scripts to the action you can make sure there is a background layer so the added canvas will be filled with pixels.  You can restore the document to its original DPI resolution to retain the images print size. Down load my crafting actions package it contains a dozen scripts to be used within actions. There are text file with tips and guidelines additionaly there is one on dealing with document size and includes a sample action set with a watermarking action the can watermark and size image. The Action set is also saved as a text file with additional comments I added my downloads can be found here http://mouseprints.net/Photoshop.html

  • Gallery widget- format for portrait or landscape

    When creating a gallery widget, it is possible for it to automatically format the widget for landscape and portrait images?  I need both portrait and landscape images, but when I resize the gallery, it automatically crops all of the images.  Is there a way to make the images shrink to scale within the gallery?

    Hi Sharin,
    Thank you for your response.
    yes, you right we can use both formats (portrait and land scape) in one smartform. But, here my probelm is when i use two main windows with difrerent main window size (width), the SAP system is not accepting. and even the page break also not working in secondary window.
    I want to display some number of forms with different format (say portrait and land scape). In this case the main window size is different. so how we can achieve solution for this issue.
    if you have any idea, please share with me.

  • How do I display the complete time sequence for a video clip in iMovie?

    How do I display the time complete time sequence for a video clip in iMovie?
    I'm trying to create a movie for someone where they provided me the video clips and what time sequences they want extracted.  For example:  Video footage from time 5m22s to 9m:18s and 11m17s to 15m31s from the imported video clip.  I know you can select video but I cannot figure out how to select from those requested time markers.
    Any help would be apreciated.

    Open the file using QuickTime Player and then open the Movie Inspector window.

  • Time Limits for iMovie clips

    I have a movie in iMovie 10.0.4 on my iMac that is 30 minutes long and has 30 individual clips. Normally in iMovie you push the "SHARE" button and then transfer the movie to "iTunes" then I can drop the movie into Toast and import it to a DVD. I have been able to do this process with shorter clips less the 3 minutes long but cannot do it with the video this long. I cannot envision having ten separate clips. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Bob

    Thanks for trying to help me.
    I need the whole video to have no clip breaks
    Even if iMovie breaks the clips into separate media clips, they play seamlessly. But obviously you want one huge media clip for some reason, right??
    If it would play seamlessly, I could live with the breaks. But when I view it, the seams are quite noticeable. My iMovie is the 5.0.2 version, which doesn't have the option to limit scene lengths. This morning I tried using my son's MacBook, which is newer and has the 6.0.2 version and does have the option. I tried it with different combinations of options selected, particularly with the "limit scene length" set to 59 min., but same thing: stops importing at 19:56:06. To import more, I have to re-click import. It doesn't even continue importing with breaks. It totally stops and waits for me to restart the import for the next 19 min.+ section. This is for National Board Teacher Certification, and they are very strict about no edits.
    That time strongly suggests that you have not properly formatted your drive! (20 minutes of DV data is about 4 GB which is the upper clip size limit of some PC formats). Format the drive as Mac OS Extended!
    OK...now I feel dumb. I have no idea what you're talking about. Does my drive not come formatted automatically? Was I supposed to do that? The drive I am downloading to is an external hard drive connected via firewire to the computer, and the camera is piggy-backed into the hard drive. It's a Lacie 240G. How do I properly format it?

  • Best online backup for iMovie clips?

    Hi,
    I shoot a lot of video and make movies using iMovie. I import clips from a video camera using Sandisk memory cards into iMovie.
    My question is, I am looking for the best online data storage that would allow me to upload the video clips on the memory card to an online service. Then, in the future if needed, retrieve the clips of my choice and bring them either directly into iMove, or put them back onto the memory card which can be used to import the clips into iMovie.
    Any recommendations? Preferably unlimited storage, and would allow me to group clips into differnt folders, ie dates or project names.
    Thanks!

    I am using CrashPlan for this.
    CrashPlan lets you seed your cloud backup with a 1TB disk drive that they send you, so that you only have to send online new files, or files that will not fit within 1TB.
    I currently have about 2 TB backed up to the cloud. I have all my DV, all my h.264, and all my VHS and Hi8 backed up to the cloud. For my AVCHD, I only backup the archive copy from the camera, and the completed movie, because the Apple Intermediate Codec versions of the Events are too large to backup to the cloud on a timely basis. So the Archive copy is fine, and it is the first generation copy anyway. I also backup my documents folder, my iTunes library, and my iPhoto and Aperture libraries to the cloud.
    I have a fast internet connection with 50 Mbs download and 10 Mbs upload.
    Note: This is only for backup. I keep a local copy too.
    If you make camera archives with iMovie, you can import from those. You do not have to move stuff back to the card. See this section of iMovie Help. http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov39f84817

  • Selecting multiple clips in Imovie for Iphone for plus Ipad 2?

    hi guys first post on these forums i hope you can help.
    I recently downloaded imovie from the app store for my iphone 4 and so far have been really impressed with it. However there is one problem i'm having. I would like to select multiple clips from my camera roll without having to keep going back into the media section and having to scroll down to find the clips for everyone i want to add. Is there a way of selecting multiple clips? any help appreciated!

    There is a way to load multiple video clips at once on iMovie's timeline on the iPad.
    I have been able to load multiple video clips into my iPad's iMovie's timeline at the same time, but this process requires the combined use of iMovie and iPhoto and won't work if you have iOS 8 running on your iPad.
    This is the way I do it.  You create an iMovie project (Movie) on your iPad.  iMovie will show the video clips that you can load to the timeline, but, as you have probably already found out, you can't load more than one clip at a time in iMovie's timeline.  My videos have sometimes 100-200 clips, so loading them into the timeline one-by-one is a very long and tedious process. I do this instead:
    (1)  I go to iMovie and load the first clip on the timeline using iMovie. (This needs to be done to avoid iPhoto importing its background music to your video clips in iMovie.)
    (2) Then I get out of iMovie and go into iPhoto.  iPhoto shows you all the photos, but more importantly also all the videos in your Camera Roll.
    (3) In iPhoto, I select the next video in the Camera Roll (the one right after the clip that I already placed on iMovie's timeline).
    (4) Next, I hit the icon at the top of iPhoto that takes you to the "Share" section (the icon is a square box with an arrow pointing to the top).  This will open a dialogue box that has a section there for "Apps" and you will see the iMovie icon.
    (5) Select the iMovie icon, it will open a dialoge box that reads at the bottom: "Choose Photos...".
    (6) Select "Choose Photos..."
    (7) Now you can select up to 15 video clips in iPhoto to load into iMovie's timeline.  You select each video by tapping it, it becomes encased in a white square and will show a check mark.
    (8) After selecting up to 15 video clips, hit "Next" in the top right corner, you will be taken to iMovie.
    (9) In iMovie, you will be asked to select the project into which the clips are to be placed.  Select the project and the clips will all be loaded at once into iMovie's timeline.
    Repeat the process again each time to load more clips; the process will place each new group of clips on iMovie's timeline right after the previously loaded clips.  When you return to iPhoto, the clips that appear encased with a heavy white border are the ones that have already been placed in the timeline for iMovie; select the next uncased clip and 14 more and load them into iMovie in the same way as described before.
    One word of caution:  This process only works using iMovie and iPhoto together.  iPhoto does not work with iOS 8!  (Thank you, Apple!)  That's why I don't have iOS 8 on my iPad, so, the process works fine.  I hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • How can I change the duration for all clips in iMovie 10.2

    How can I change the duration for all clips in iMovie 10.2?  I'm used to working in the older version of iMovie where all I had to do was click on the gear on the clip and change the duration. ALso could use the tool bar to set the duration for all clips. Can't figure out how to do that in this new version. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    In the timeline select the clip whose duration you want to change. Click the adjust button at the top of the viewer and then click the i button and you can set the duration. For multiple clips select them all and in the i button type in the duration you want and it will be applied to all the selected clips. You can also change the duration of a clip in the timeline by putting the cursor over the beginning or end of a clip and dragging. A popup will show the new duration.
