Speech bubble - how do I add to iDVD or iMovie?

A few months ago someone showed me how to use iMovie and iDVD. I liked the additional feature they showed of being able to add "speech bubbles" to show text for individual frames/images. Unfortunately, I can't find or remember how to find this feature. Anyone able to help?
Many thanks

Thanks so much Sue. It must have been this plug in iBubble. The site is down at the moment so I can't download/purchase the add on but I am quite sure this is what I wanted. Many, many thanks.

How do I add chapter markers in iMovie 11?

On the previous version of iMovie I used chapter markers frequently, but cannot find them on iMovie 11. Do they exist? And if so, how can I access that feature?

iMovie version 10 (newest version) doesn't have a chapter marker feature.
iMovie version 9 is still installed and is in your Applications folder.

How do you add english subtitles in iMovie '08?

In iMovie, I want to add english subtitles, however I have no idea how to do it. Can you help me in details? and i in a hurry.......

Don't think that would work. Since my "system date" is already set at 2007. I have 2 imports, one has the year as 2048, and the other at 2016!! I don't know where they are getting these dates from, but they are not the system date.
Were the files imported directly from a camcorder or from files already on your hard drive? In the first case the year may have been taken from the time "stamp" recorded when the footage was shot (which may or may not have been correctly set by the user). On the other hand, files imported from the hard drive seem to be keyed to the date the imported file is written to the "Events" folder which, of course, reflects the current system time/date setting. That's why I said you had to then import (re-import) the files from a hard drive source -- i.e., to ensure the DTG would be re-written.

How do I add photos to my imovie project?

When I add photos between video clips they stay there, but when I press play, a still frame from either the video clip before or after is shown in the pictures place. Can someone please direct me as to how I may fix this so that I may see the actual photos I add when I press play?

I've read about this issues in many threads - unfortunately, I haven't followed them, what's the solution of that. I know, the older versions of iMovie (08,09,11) had a very … 'special' way of storaging stills in projects - my assumption was, that too much of 'heavy trial'n error'-editing could confuse this system.
… Haven't checked, how actual iM-X is handling it.
My first attempt would be:
When you EXPORT this project - is the photo in, or not?

How Do I Add Lyrics to My iMovie?

Adding Text (lyrics) to my iMovie music video

Hi, Everyone:
I'm a musician. I have simple videos of myself singing and playing guitar. I want to add lyrics to the movie---perfectly timed so that when the words leave my mouth, they show up in text on the bottom of the video---kind of like a follow the bouncing ball, karaoke thing.
Can someone spell out clearly how I can go about doing this?
Thanks so much, Ernie

Hi
My guessing is that this is pretty hard to do in iMovie'08.
Slightly better done in iMovie HD 6 where You got a better frame control on
where You add Your texts (in time - not in space - text tool isn't so good)
Full control of both space and time: FinalCut Express/Pro
Still this is a tedious task and tools for text-settings i realtime as in broadcasted
materials are not easy to find and expencive. I think that "Media-100" or
any other pro-applications might have links to this. Price in fantacy.
I write my texts down in a word-processor and Cut & Past
(when text setting a movie or part of it)

How do I add more pictures using iMovie themes

I'm having trouble adding more pic's to the theme I selected on imovie. Is there a way to add more pic's? or is this the extent of using the theme's?

Hi
You can add photos to it - But they didn't make it easy at all.
• You first collect photos in a new iMovie Project
• Export out "Share to QuickTime" and as a QuickTime movie
• Import this movie into Events
• This Event can be used in a Project and Themes.
Some things never got any better. Wonder Why ?

How do I add transitions automatic in iMovie 10.0.3

Hi,
I updated imovie a couple of days ago and I can't find the feature in iMovie that adds transitions automatic. All guides on internet says that you have to press "file- project theme" and change it from there. When I click the file button in top of the screen the option "project theme" is not there. There has to be a way to add transitions automatic. Right now I'm working on a slideshow with hundereds of pictures and adding transistions manually is not an option

HOW DO I ADD MOVIE CHAPTERS IN IMOVIE08?!?

HOW DO I ADD MOVIE CHAPTERS IN IMOVIE 08 FOR IDVD ?!?

Hi there PusherProductions
Welcome to the iMovie forums.
Apparently iMovie 08 does not natively support the use of chapter markers. The movie needs to be exported to Garage Band to do the work.
See here in detail on how to do that:
http://imovie08.blogspot.com/2007/08/how-to-add-chapter-markers.html
iMovie 8 isn't really that good for serious editing and output. It's is good at uploading video to the internet and to You Tube. That's about it. If you have iMovie 6 you'd be in much better position to edit your video into a good movie and to add chapter markers natively.
Best of luck

How do you add plain text?

Hi all!
I have a very simple question, which is just what it says in the subject line of this topic.
How do I add plain text into iMovie? No fades, no slides, no nothing, just plain text?
From what I've been searching online, no one has answered this question, but then again, no one has asked it either.
All I could find was 1 yahoo thread with the question in which the answer was not clear at all.
I've been trying to find it myself by snooping around in iMovie, but as you might guess, unsuccessfully.
From snooping around I've come to draw the conclusion that you probably can't add plain text into iMovie via iMovie directly.
However, and idea I had was, if I create an image in, lets say Paint 2, with whatever plain text I want to add, and then insert it into the project. Will this have the same effect?
Can anyone please confirm this? I'm going crazy just looking for such a simple feature hehehe.
Thank you in advance!

hmm, well ... a video isn't meant for reading (resolution, compression, blabla). ...
so 'text' in a video should be very large in font, avoid tiny details, too much contrasts ... blabla again
Advice using the Title-feature as 'text' isn't wrong.
plus, iMovie is no text-processor, you copy/paste larger amounts of letters into it.
If you need/want 'a page full of text' in iMovie, indeed you have to do the roundtrip by creating a 'picture' of your text-page, and insert that jpg to your Project.
The good news:
if your 'picture (=text page) is longer than the video screen, you can apply a nice Ken Burns effect to 'scroll' through the text ... in case, your audience reads as fast as you.
bad news: max is 5:1 ratio of the 'page' ... so, no 'books' please ...
Aside Star Wars ("... in a galaxy far, far away from here"), you should avoid 'text' longer than a usual title.
(this answer/workaround isn't in the 'canned' replies of our hosts, you should forgive'em ... )

How can I make rectangular speech bubbles that adapt to the text inside them without the "arrow" that points towards where the bubble is coming from getting changed?

I have to make lots of speech bubbles (150+) that all have texts inside them which differ in length. I want the speech bubbles to look the same in terms of style, but I need different sizes of course for each text. This means that the rectangular part of the speech bubble should adapt in length and width to the text inside it, while the "arrow" pointing towards where the bubble is coming from (e.g. the person who speaks) should stay the same on every bubble. So is there a way or a workaround to make such "adapting" speech bubbles?
I appreciate any kinds of help
Thanks in advance!

Here's another way I found:
1. Draw a speech bubble. Mine is a rectangle with rounded corners and a triangular pointer added with Pathfinder > Add
2. Drag out a frame the same size as the speech bubble. Select the speech bubble and Copy; then select the empty frame and choose Edit > Paste Into...
3. Alt-Drag the frame with the pasted speech bubble to make a copy, then crop one copy to leave only the top of the bubble showing, and crop the other copy to leave only the bottom.
4. Drag out a text frame and insert a table consisting of 1 column, 3 rows. Set the text frame to Autosize > Height Only.
5. Set the stroke/fill of the top and bottom rows to none, and style the middle row to match the speech bubble, (in my case a white fill and 2pt stroke; left and right).
6. Anchor (paste) a copy of the speech bubble top in the top table row, and a copy of the speech bubble bottom in the bottom row.
Getting the 3 parts to match up with is where you just have to work on it until you get it right. Use the positioning tools in Anchored Object options and the column width setting in Cell options to line everything up.
Enter your text in the middle row. (Hey, look at that...a valid application of Comic Sans!) With the Cell Height set to an "At Least" setting, the cell will expand to fit whatever text you enter, pushing the the bottom row down, with the text frame auto-sizing to keep everything in play...

How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc which has ample remaining free space? After preparing the new video for burning and clicking on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject.

How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc with a video previously successfully recorded on it? (The disc has ample remaining free space.)
After preparing the new video for burning and clicking in the File menu on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject. My assumption has been that iDVD would automatically find the free space and continue with the new recording from there. I'd be grateful if anyone can shine light on this.

There are, but not with a DVD written as a movie disk. It must be closed when completed, or it doesn't work.
Apple's built in Burn utility also automatically closes any data CD, DVD or Blu-ray disk you burn. Doesn't matter how much space is unused, you can't use it. You'd have to use a more advanced disk creation app, such as Toast Titanium. I then have the option of choosing to write the data as a session:
I can keep doing this until the disk is full. If I've written five sessions to the disk, when I put it in the drive, five CD/DVD icons will appear on the desktop since the OS will treat each session as if they are separate physical disks. At any point you choose Write Disk when writing a group of data, that means you're closing the disk, and again can't add anything after that. So if I had written two sessions, and the third was Write Disk, it's over. I can't put anything else on that disk.
