Powerpoint Jpeg Export into iMovie

Does anyone know how export more high res images out of powerpoint? For example, when I export the slides to jpegs/individual slides and bring them into iMovie, the images aren't as crisp as they are in original slideshow.
There is a lot of talk on the windows side of things that says by default Powerpoint exports the slide as 96 dpi. Looks like there is a registry change to get it up to 300 dpi, but once again this is for Windows.
Using powerpoint:mac 2011 and iMovie '09. Didn't know where to submit this question so started here.
Thoughts? Anyone? Bueller?

DPI (dots per inch) isn't used by video editors and only the file dimension is important.
DPI is used by printer software.

  • Importing a powerpoint/quicktime movie into imovie

    can someone tell me what i am doing wrong: when i import a powerpoint/quicktime movie into imovie the background goes orange... and i cannot get it to go white again... help! please!

    Thanks for the link. We still had a the problem, but we found a woork around. It seem that if the power point has any sound in it then it only imports the sound. So we took all the sound out and then it imported fine. Then we put the sound back in and imported that so that then we had the sound effects. Any way it works! Thanks!

  • PowerPoint with Sound into iMovie

    I have Power Point presentations I made with voice over recordings. If I save to QT, I lose the sound. I don't really want to have to record these presentations yet again. (I started with Keynote but the timing was off so I changed to recording with Power Point for Mac). I know how to save the slides and import them to iMovie (save as image) but how do I do that with the sound files? I can't even find the sound files to save them separately.
    I used to be able to do this with Windows but when I bring the presentations to my Windows machine and save the way I know how to maintain the sound files, it doesn't save them. I assume that PPT for Mac saves them in a different format than the Windows PPT version. Please help. TIA.

    Have you tried...
    in PowerPoint
    FILE/SAVE AS MOVIE...
    Movie Options... choose your soundtrack.
    That will give you an .mov file.
    If it will not import into iMovie, see if there are tween tracks, closed captioning tracks, or text tracks and delete them with QuickTime Pro.
    Come back if you have more questions, or if this does not make sense.
    This is easier in Keynote. You just set up the presentation as a timed advance (not manual advance) when you export the movie. This will keep the "bad" tracks out so you don't need QuickTime Pro.

  • Exporting into IMovie

    Help - I followed the last discussion about moving sideshows from Iphoto into my Quick Time Player so I could be able to view my sideshows back-to-back. After exporting into QuickTime, I then followed the instructions to drag the sideshows into IMovie. I opened IMovie and clicked the setup button and then it directed me to name my project which I did. The instructions in IMovie said to drag my items to the bar that said drag photos or movies here. I did it repeatedly and it does not work. They just pop back to Quick Time Player. What is my next step to get my sideshows into IMovie?

    The Finder is the file browser on your Mac. So find the file of this movie and drag it to the iMovie icon, or use the Import command under the file menu.

  • Could someone please recommend the best program to convert AVI and MPEG files for use (and exporting) into IMovie 11?

    Hi - I understand I need to convert AVI and MPEG files for use within IMovie 11. I have one particular file that has a watermark stating "Created with Flip4Mac WMV Demo". Can someone please recommend the best program for a novice?  Thanks!

    Hi Susan,
    It is no simpler converting vobs to mp4 than mpg (mpeg2).
    There is *always* a loss of quality converting video from one lossy-compressed format to another, e.g. mpeg2 to mp4.
    So, if you want to not lose any quality, then converting vobs to mpeg2 (mpg) is the thing to do (since there will be no video/audio re-compression), assuming Lr5 will accept them (sorry, but I do not know). example commands:
    Mac: ffmpeg -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mpg
    Win: ffmbc -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mpg
    If Lr5 won't accept them, then you can convert to mp4 with minimal quality loss using a command like:
    Mac: ffmpeg -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mp4
    Win: ffmbc -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mp4
    You may need variations of these commands depending on encoding of vob.
    Note: -i means -input-file; -sameq means -same-quality, as much as possible.
    ffm... is smart enough to avoid re-encoding, if possible, when -sameq is used, and makes reasonable choices for audio/video codecs based on extension of output file.
    Of course, you'll need to download/install ffm... program if not already on your machine, and execute commands in a terminal or command window.
    Do keep us posted please .
    Cheers,
    Rob

  • Excel graphs in powerpoint into imovie

    What is the best way to put excel graphs into imovie? I need to put 2 graphs together on one sheet, so I have aranged them in powerpoint, and saved the powerpoint as a JPEG, and as a powerpoint movie but when I import these into imovie, the quality is really bad, and the text is blury when its desplayed on a larger screen. Any ideas, on how to put a powerpoint into an imovie? Thanks!

    iMovies goal is "projection" on TV - in PAL countries that has a screen resolution of 768x576 (.. and that is max, in real life it is less...)
    second, a computer has no interlacing - that is a good trick for moving images on TV, but that "blurrs" any detailed content...
    sooo....
    you charts will be minimized & blurred. in case you used any serif-typo, the tiny lines will vanish/flirr.. that isn't iM fault, but due to TV standards....
    I would:
    use Excel to export directly into some pict format (tiff isn't bad, because no compression); I don't see any need to make an inbetween step in some slideshow app ... (???)
    and I would "tune" in Excel the formats: not too much content, san-serif typo, no bright colors (as pure red), no 1pix lines etc....
    best practise:
    re-create new, "video compatible" charts in some pic maker (e.g. Photoshop) by using the correct settings from the beginning - you instantly see what you get...
    don't forget: judge pic quality of iM projects only TV screen!
    besides:
    dpi is an internal-file-info just need for PRINTS... a 10x10pix picture is displayed as 10x10 pix on every computer's screen... independed of 72dpi, 120dpi, or 2400dpi... bigger dpi's make file size larger, but not better for monitor use....

  • Exporting photos into iMovie

    I import photos from my camera into iphoto as raw.
    When I want to import photos into imovie they come in as raw, how can I change the format into jpeg, and still keep the raw file in iphoto?
    Thank you

    Merelyn:
    Upon import into iPhoto, RAW files get a jpg version generated by iPhoto for use and editing. No editor will or can modify the original RAW file. The edits are always saved to some other format, jpg, tiff, etc. Those jpgs should be the ones that are exported/imported into iMovie for use via the Media Browser. iMovie will copy them in and resize to the size it uses. So there should not be a problem with the large RAW files.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Recording from isight into imovie during powerpoint slideshow?

    I'm setting up a visual perception experiment in which people see objects presented during a powerpoint slideshow. I would like to use my iSight camera to record their faces (their eye movements actually) into iMovie during this task without the iMovie window interrupting the powerpoint presentation. Is this possible?

  • I have a sony hdr td 20ve 3d video camera. Is it possible to import into iMovie 11, edit and export in 3D? I have an iMac 2008 model running Lion 10.7.4

    Is it possible to import 3d from the Sony 3D videocamera,model HDR TD 20VE into iMovie 11, edit and export the files to iDVD and produce a disc that plays on a 3d compatible DVD player?

    Yes, you can purchase Lion as well as iPhoto and iMovie from the App Store. But before you can do that you must update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 by installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 update. Then you can sign into the App Store with your Apple ID and password, locate the items you want, purchase them, and download them to your computer.

  • Best way to export from iMovie so that clip will play in Powerpoint on Windows?

    Does anyone know the best settings so that a movie exported from iMovie will play in Powerpoint on a Windows machine?  Thanks.

    You need one of the more expenseive Flip4Mac options. Flip4Mac Studio, Studio Pro, Studio Pro HD, for example.
    Flip4Mac supplies a video component. To do the conversion, you need a tool like QuickTime Pro or Compressor. You take the file you created in iMovie and convert it using QuickTime Pro using the supplied component.
    It is possible that a free tool like MPEG Streamclip would do the conversion (after purchasing the Flip4Mac components) but I haven't tried it personally.
    You cannot do this conversion from within iMovie. You need to SHARE from iMovie, then convert.

  • Quick Question (re:exporting from iMovie into iDVD)

    Hello everyone!
    I just have a quick question for you all... (I want to see if this is normal - I'm on a deadline and this is kind of freaking me out)
    So, we have a 20 minute or so video in iDVD. It plays fine, etc etc. The goal is to burn it to a DVD.
    I used the "Export -> to iDVD" function in iMovie, which launched iDVD.
    But here is the weird thing: nothing comes up in iDVD. It doesn't make a new file, doesn't give me anything... it is just open, waiting for me to create a new project to work with.
    YET, if I look in the Activity Monitor, I do see that EncoderServer (using 123% CPU) and ThumbnailServer (both iDVD processes) are running.... but shouldn't iDVD have told me it is working or that it is dealing with data?
    This is very un-"apple". I totally would have expected a progress bar of some sort in iDVD telling me it is working or something.... or is something wrong and I should try to export it in a different way?
    (I guess the underlying question is: when you export from iMovie to iDVD, does iDVD normally give you any 'heads-up' that it is working? how long does it normally take to open the project in iDVD?)

    Hi Matt!
    when you export from iMovie to iDVD, does iDVD normally give you any 'heads-up' that it is working? how long does it normally take to open the project in iDVD?)
    Yes, and it's instant.
    What you should see is iDVD opening and asking you to create a new project, It will suggest naming it the same as the iMovie project.
    There are reports that exporting from Imovie to iDVD can produce problems. What I do is save the iMovie project and close iMovie. Open iDVD, create the new DVD project, then go the File menu in iDVD, scroll down to Import, and in the side menu select Video. This open your Movie Folder, wherein resides your iMovie project. Select it and it imports into iDVD in a flash.
    Remember: iMovie projects go in the Movies Folder, iDVD projects go in the Documents folder. Change that, and they get very confused and unhappy.

  • When I try to export from iMovie '11 I get repeated messages that the project is too big. Why? Is there a workaround? (I have already cut a 40-minute movie into three chunks...)

    When I try to export from iMovie '11 I get repeated messages that the project is too big. Why? Is there a workaround? (I have already cut a 40-minute movie into three chunks... the first exported to iDVD ok, but the next one of 15 minutes balked for the same reason -- too long...)

    I wish I had a mac :-P 
    Sadly, this is Windows machine so I dont have a non-iOS version of iMovie.  I have 2 ideas left.  The first is xfering the project to my iPhone 4 and trying to export it there (if that works, awesome but geez apple the iPad 2 is way more powerful than the iphone 4.. youd think I wouldnt even have to attempt this).  The 2nd idea is to start at the end of my movie and delete clips and sounds backwards, trying to export each time to find whatever clip is causing the issue (when the movie was 5 minutes it mixed no probem, so I only need to go that far).
    Wish me luck? 
    Also, is anyone else besides me and the 5 dudes in the other threads having this issue??  Speak up, guys - Apple cant a fix a problem they dont know about.

  • Re user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? - I've followed instructions so far so good, until I get to "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. "  How do I do that?

    Re AppleMan 1958 excellent user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? -
    I've followed instructions with success until  "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. "  How do I do that?
    I installed MGEG Streamclip 193b8 and used their utility to install quicktimempeg2 and got a message stating it was successfully installed.  (I'm on latest Maverick 10.9.2 on iMac)  Then I dragged the VIDEO_TS file from my home DVD into the streamclip app.  It asked which of 4 files to use, and I selected the first one.  Streamclip played the video with the sound.  so far so good. but now I cannot figure how to use quicktime player 10.3 to export this vob file out of streamclip.

    Thank you for your quick reply and for clearing up my confusion.  I'm exporting the first section now.  I choose the smallest size, 3x4 but I'd prefer to go higher as this DVD was originally a VHS home movie.  I'm wondering if after three conversions (VHS,->DVD->MPEG) the resolution will be so poor as to not support a larger size frame?  If it can, what size should I select when I export?
