Unwanted cropping in iMovie for the iPad

So I am working on an iMovie trailer for the iPad. I shot the clips I wanted to add with my iPod touch 4g and I sent them all to my iPad through iMessage. I saved them to the iPad and opened iMovie and went to where it showed all the videos I had saved on my iPad. It showed the whole clip when you looked at it there, but when you added it to the trailer it cut off the top of the clip. In some clips it looks alright, but in most it totally cuts off the head. The trailer mainly consists of feet and legs the whole time because of this, and I was wondering if there was a way to crop it differently, maybe a way to crop the bottom and keep the top, or maybe a way to flit the whole clip in the frame?

iMovie edits video wide; similar to televisions.
So you need to shoot video wide, not tall to view the whole image.
So when. You import tall video iMovie crops it to fit the frame.
There is no other workaround, only to shoot wide like the trailer.
If you want to shoot and edit tall video you need to get a different app.

  • I have iMovie for the iPad and I want to be able to add subtitles to certain parts of the movie, is there a way to do this?

    So, I'm making a stop motion for youtube, and the movement is way to fast for me to try and talk for it, so, I need to be able to add subtitles down at the bottom of the screen. Can I do this on iMovie for the iPad?

    First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. You can find it by googling MPEG Streamclip Squared 5.
    Open MPEG Streamclip.
    In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
    Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
    In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
    In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
    Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
    Also, for how to add a pointer, try Karsten Schluter's website for a good post on how to do this.

  • Using Mov H.264 Files in IMovie for the IPad

    I have just imported some Mov files into my IPad using the optional connector and I can see them and play them using IPhotos but when I try to create a movie using IMovie I cannot find or import the files.  Anyone know how I can overcome this please?

    I hear that. I have professional gear myself and it would be handy. Now it could come down to the processing power and they wanted to streamline it because they have control over the ios devices. But I will see if anything else were to work.
    Stills shouldn't be a problem, I import my RAW pictures with no problems.

  • Does iMovie for the iPad support green screen functionality?

    Was wondering if someone could help me out with this  I want to incorporate the use of green screen in my classroom.

         Sorry to say that I, too, am having trouble with my camera and iMovie. I have an Olympus Stylus-9000, and it doesn't pick up when I try to import to iMovie. I checked the list of iMovie-supported cameras online, and not one Olympus model was there. I guess we're just unlucky...

    I buy for mac app but not for the iPad, so how do I reinstall a program that has already purchased? I need help because I bought the imovie'11 but when he opened it only brought 8 movie trailer templates instead of the 15 it says on the program. How do I solve this problem? Once paid for a program incomplete. I also liked that the AppStore itself had a button to reinstall programs already bought, because it is very hard to understand how to do this in the store, only option is to install and hide purchase, and how do I reinstall, attention'm talking about reinstalling a computer mac, not an ipad or iphone.
    Thank you.

  • IMovie lite app for the iPad

    The iPad without a camera is disappointing to some people, but recording with an iPad just wouldn't seem natural. However, it would be awesome is Apple provided iMovie lite for the iPad.
    If you think about it, it's already available (in a way) for the iPhone. With just a couple more features, Apple can have an awesome potential to really bring something many are wishing for.
    If not, Flip camera makers should really look into this. Apple already provides the Camera Connection Kit for the iPad, so what's stopping them from creating an app that can edit video for their cameras?

    Flash for mobiles does not exist, unless you mean ten year old software that does not work well.

  • In iMovie on the iPad: Recombining two video clips

    I am using iMovie on the iPad (iOS 8.1.1.).  I have a project where I split a video clip into two parts.  I wanted to put a title that runs across both clips but it fades in and out so it doesn't stay on the screen for the entire two clips.  I can't undo because I've made too many other changes since I split the original clip.  Is there a way to recombine these two clips so that I can run a single title across the entire clip?

    Hi wall ice-izm,
      I have come up with a workaround, but would like something better. I originally sent the video to iTunes from within
    The iMovie program.
    I then transferred it to my pc and it was in dv format. I did not see any options for saving it in another format. If it is possible to save it in something the pc can read and ultimately that fCebook can read, I would appreciate knowing how. Yes, I do have QuickTime.
    What I ended up doing was buying an app called "photo transfer app". First I saved the video to the camera roll. Then I used the app to wirelessly transfer the iMovie video to my pc and then I was able to upload it to Facebook. It was all very slow and inefficient. When I save a video to the camera roll it saves it in the .MOV format.
    I was also able to transfer the video from iPad to pc by saving to the camera roll and then importing the video into Adobe Bridge CS5
    Isn't there a more direct way of saving a video to the pc from within imovie in a format it recognizes?
    Nancy

  • I have already purchased iMovie for my iPad.  Is there a way to download to my MAC without having to pay again?

    I have already purchased iMovie for my iPad.  Is there a way to download to my MAC without having to pay again?

    The iPad version is for iOS devices and can't run on OS X.
    The OS X version costs 3 times as much and is a separate download.

  • IMovie for my iPad and iPhone will not export movies how do I fix this?

    iMovie for my iPad and iPhone will not export movies how do I fix this?

    Same here. Have exported a handful of movies before..faced this issue for the first time a few days ago. What footage are you trying to edit and export? (E.g. Shot with camera app, other social media apps like Snapchat, Vine, Instagram?)
    I did some troubleshooting..
    I was putting together all saved videos from Snapchat.. no luck. Export screen comes up, but progress bar doesn't move.
    Mixed some footage in there shot with actual iPhone camera app.. no luck.
    Removed all Snapchat footage.. it worked straight away.
    BUT ... it would make sense if I didn't just compile a bunch of Snapchat vids a few weeks ago and export them just fine?
    So it's something to do with the actual footage I assume?

  • Best Video Settings For The iPad.

    Hi everyone,
    Does anyone know this ? "Best Video Settings For The iPad".
    Kindly and in simple terms state the best possible settings to be use when converting videos for the iPad that optimizes the entire screen size/ area without a black borderline around your video. it's rather frustrating to have many technical jargons online without anyone giving real pointers at real values in conversion settings.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    Kindly and in simple terms state the best possible settings to be use when converting videos for the iPad that optimizes the entire screen size/ area without a black borderline around your video.
    It is impossible to answer your question without knowing both the aspect ratio of the source file and your personal preferences for displaying it on a 4:3 iPad screen.
    Basically, you have two options here when converting files of one aspect ratio for display on a screen of another aspect. You can distort the original display to "fill" the ipad screen. (E.g., you can make a widescreen movie exactly fill your iPad screen but then people and objects will look tall and skinny.) The other option is to convert at the original aspect ratio and simply use the iPad "zoom" option to force your widescreen movie to fill your 4:3 screen by scaling the height of your movie to fill the screen and allowing the left and right edges of you movie to be cropped from your view. You have no other choices here other than living with the defaulted black areas.

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:

  • Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW photo files from my camera, through the IPad and back to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras does not use an SD card.  How can I do this?

    Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW files from my camera through the IPad and out to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras has an SD card but the other one doesn't have a card that would fit in any of the camera devices I've seen on line.  Realted to this, I bought the IPad camera accessory.  Can I put the SD card in the device and also hook the external hard drive to the USB port of the accessory and download from the camera to the hard drive?  Can I put Lightroom or the Nikon photo editing software on the IPad?  Right now I carry a PC laptop and external hard drives with me on wildernes trips.  Internet and WiFi are not available.  Because I shoot so many photos and they're in RAW I need to download from the camera to the external drive because I run out of memory on the PC (and it has much more memory than the IPad).  I have Nikon NX software and lightroom on my PC.  I'd love to be able to reduce the weight I carry by using the IPad to edit my photos each night while on trips.  Is this possible and how would I do it?  I'd appreciate any guidance.

    No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
    For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

  • How can I manage several ID on my computer, one for my iPhone and another one for the iPad of the family?

    Hi everybody
    Just have bought an ipad2 and i would like to manage several IDs on my computer (i.e keep my iPhone ID and create another one for the ipad to manage apps for my iPhone (4) and the apps for the iPad).
    How can I resetup the iPad to create that new ID on itunes?
    Thanks for your help
    Jp

    If you have separate iTunes accounts for the two devices then you'll need to buy 2 copies of any app that you want on both device - you can't copy or move apps from one account to another (they are tied to the account that bought/downloaded them). If you want to reset the iPad then logout of the account on it (Settings > Store and tap the id on the right-hand side) and then Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings will reset it back to factory defaults.
    You may want to consider one of three options mentioned on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
