What size still images work best for iMovie to create a book trailer?

I'm trying to create a book trailer using still images and text in iMovie. I purchased some 280px images from gettyimage and find they are too small. When viewed on a full screen the images are degraded. What size still image works best to make a book trailer in iMovie that will be posted on You Tube. Thanks in advance. I am an iMovie newbie.

iM supports a max. export resolution of 1920x1080 pixel ..
if you need to add Ken Burns effects, res should be, of course, higher..
no such thing as 'dpi' with video, only absolute pixels count ..
due to the many conversion processes happening on import, processing and export, care for as less compression as possible for the imported files ..
this YT-demo is done in iM09 with some pics from my Lib, native res of originals is ~6Mpix/~3MB size/jpegs ..
ahh, and Welcome betinski61 to the  iM boards ...

What size MacBook Pro is best for graphic designers?

I am entering an Emerging Media/graphic design program that requires a MacBook Pro to do my work on. Am I ok to get the 15" or do I need the 17"?

I will only add 1 thing to John Hammer1
While I canot tell you what you *must* do, I can tell you that *I would* do if 15 in was the only option based on size/weight and graphic design was the use.
I would order from Apple to get the upgrade to hi-res (1680x1050). While you can connect external display for easier working with pictures, you will not always have the external display.
Anti-glare is your call competely. It helps in open-air condiitions with direct sunlight. But some say image clarity is sacrificed in favor of dffusing the glare from the screen -- I am not sure my eyes would see the difference, but I am old and blind and do not care as much about it. But I truly have only rumor and innuendo on this subject.
As John Hammer1 said, analyze any "I woud do <this>" advice objectively and do not care about hurting feelings.

XP 64 users what version of firefox works best for you

xp64 is not supported and never has been, outside of that some versions of firefox work quite well with this OS, looking to find which version has proved to be most successful with minimal operational problems.

Firefox is not compatible with XP-64. Use Opera, you should be fine. I don't think Opera runs as 64-but native though, but at least it works.

I have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB

You just need a powered hub.. if you already use one then fine.
Plug in just about any external hard disk will work fine. Format has to be readable by the TC.. ie fat32.. or much better HFS+.. plug it into a Mac to prepare the drive.
Pick whatever size suits.. nowadays 2TB are most economical.
WD, Seagate have goobled up all the minor players.. so pick one.
Whatever suits your budget and asthetics.
NOTE.. The USB on the TC is fine for printers.. IMHO it is the wrong way to go with USB disks.. use the internal disk of the TC.. USB is less than half the native speed plugged into a Mac.. TC to USB is slow.. far slower than internal drive.. or using external drive as external.

I have a new (mid) 2011 imac and want to transfer my old records to itunes but i dont know what usb turntable would be best for a new mac that would have compatible software for ripping to itunes?

i have a mid 2011 i5 imac and i want to transfer my vinyl records to itunes but i dont know what usb turntable would be best for my imac that has compatible software for transfer to itunes

Hallo,
I use an Akai usb turntable with the Audacity sw delivered with it. To monitor during recording I also use the LineIn utility (all this on a Macbook Pro with Mavericks).
It works fine, only the input volume of the usb audio port cannot be adjusted (at least I did not yet discover how to do it) and the volume of the music is lower than other music imported into iTunes from CD or iTunes store, but still acceptable.
Success, Jean

Which headset work best for iPad Air

Which headset work best for iPad Air

This can be highly subjective. I would pick a few models that you think you'd like, then read the reviews at the Apple Store link that Diavonex directed you to. Also read the reviews on Amazon.com as well to get a feel for a few models and what kind of sound they can produce.
Back to the "subjective" aspect I mentioned...when the Apple Ear Pods were released (they now come standard with all new iPhones), I had an iPhone 4 at the time and had the older headphones (the new Ear Pods were introduced/released with the iPhone 5). I heard great things about them and almost purchased a set when they went on sale as a stand-alone item but I decided not to. When I upgraded my phone to an iPhone 5, I got them included with the new phone. Great, I thought...well, after trying them, I hated them and I still do. They produce way too much bass for my personal taste and sound boomy. I much prefer the older model. It's just personal preference.
Read the reviews and see if they describe how the headphones sound...boomy, tinny, clear, muddy, etc and try to match that to what your preference may be.

Which imac would work best for Graphic Design?

I am a Graphic Designer, currently using Creative Suite 2 (soon to be upgraded to CS3) and I need a new Mac for home. A Powermac takes up too much space, so I'm thinking about an imac with a 24" monitor and I have a few questions for the experts:)
Which imac would work best for graphics?
Is the monitor acurate for Pantone color matching?
Is the 24"monitor on the imac clear and bright?
Is Leopard a stable OS?
I also need an (inexpensive) color laser printer. Any suggestions?
Thanks a bunch!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The 24" iMac uses a superior LCD panel to the 20" model and so is certainly better suited to your purposes. I don't know how badly having a piece of glass in front of the display would affect you as a designer though.
The display certainly is clear and bright. I use it on it's lowest brightness setting.
Leopard is stable but it's worth checking that drivers for any devices that you currently rely on are available. For example I have to go back to my 10.4.11 iMac G4 to use my scanner. Personally I can't get iCal to alarm in Leopard but that's a fairly minor gripe.
As this is the forum for much older iMacs I'd suggest re-posting in the Intel iMac forum and even Mac OS 10.5 Printing forums for better informed opinion:

What version of Quicktime is best for Final Cut Pro version 6.0.5?

Hello,
Could anyone tell me what version of Quicktime works best with Final Cut Pro version 6.0.5? Currently I have QT version 7.6.2.
Unfortunately, all the clips are digitizing at 640 x 480 instead of 720 x 480 (I have trashed prefs and checked the sequence settings and Easy Setup, both are set at NTSC 720 x 480). I have also completely re-installed FCP from the original disks.
When I digitize a clip, it digitizes at 640 x 480. When I open the clip itself and look at the properties, the "Presentation" is set to "Clean" (640 x 480) instead of "Classic" (720 x 480). It keeps defaulting to Clean, and therefore digitizing at 640x480.
Should I uninstall QT and go back to an earlier version? If so, which one would be best? Or is there an easier way to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance for any help. I've been struggling with this problem for over a week.

You list Sequence settings and Easy Setup, but is there any chance your Capture Preset somehow got tweaked to NTSC 4x3 (640x480), instead of it's normal setting of DV NTSC 3x2 (720x480)
From the extent of troubleshooting steps you've taken, this would be unlikely, but heck your Capture Preset and make sure it's correct.

What version of InDesign is best for my MAC (OS Version 10.6.8 with a 64 bit processor?

InDesign CS6 v8.1.0 should run without problems.
The cloud versions do not. They would require OSX 10.7.5 and soon OSX 10.9:

What compressor settings settings are best for 1080i to output to DVD using DVD Studio pro?

What compressor settings settings are best for 1080i to output to DVD using DVD Studio pro? I used FCP 6, exported using Quick Time.

DVDs are only SD. There was at one time HD-DVDs, which DVD SP and Compressor can make, but HD-DVDs will only play in Macs and, now obsolete HD-DVD players. HD-DVDs will not play back in standard DVD players or Blu-Ray players. If you want to make a "DVD will be played on DVD player for TV" disc, your only choice is SD.
If you want HD video on a disc, then you want Blu-Ray. You will need a Blu-Ray burner (Apple does not make a Blu-Ray burner so you will have to buy a third-party Blu-Ray burner), Blu-Ray discs and software that will make a Blu-Ray disc. That could be the latest version of Compressor, or FCPX, or Toast, or Encore.

How have you made the DInc2 work best for you?

How have you personalized your DInc2 and made it work best for you? I mean, how have you set up the home screens, added/wigits or apps, organized stuff on your phone to make it the best phone for you? I LIKE my DInc2 but don't LOVE it, so I'm looking for some ideas to make it more me.

Here are a few apps I found useful:
ColorDict - a free dictionary
ColorNote - a free notepad
Skype - this is the full version downloaded from the market that can take advantage of the front facing camera, not the the skype mobile comes with the phone which doesn't have video call.
Kindle - a nice ebook reader
Yahoo Mail app - it pushes mail to your phone
My Track - a free Google product that uses GPS for tracking. It's useful when you are hiking
Since the HTC Clock/Alarm Clock app is broken, I also downloaded an alarm clock app
I also downloaded a few games to stimulate my brain once awhile.
In case you're interested, here are the apps I have on my home screen:
Yahoo mail, Battery meter, Music, ColorDict, Skype, ColorNote, Gallery, Maps, GPS, Navigation, Camera, Camcorder, Internet, People, Messages, Calender.
I wish the phone can lay golden eggs but so far it hasn't.

Keep in mind that all iPhone 5s currently available in the US are built for the US customer. It is avaialable unlocked by US law. This law does not extend beyond US borders. If the iPhone becomes locked at some future date (this has happened), there will be no recourse.
My suggestion is to wait until Apple releases the factory unlocked iPhone 5s for the international market.
