Why are my titles blurred in imove HD 6?

It looks like this is a common problem with imovie that nobody has fixed I use imovie all of the time (5 years or so), had this problem a few years ago and unfortunately cannot remember what to do so my titles are not blurry.

I would start by deleting preferences and doing a permissions repair. Close iMovie. Go to User (the House icon)/Library/Preferences and send to the trash the file called com.apple.iMovie.plist. iMovie will replace this file when you reopen it. Then go to the Disk Utilities app on your Mac and run a permissions repair for your hard disk. Now open iMovie and see if you still have the problem.
Sometimes it helps to delete the contents of the file FontCollections (not the Font Book), located in User (the House icon)/Library.
If still having the problem, you might want to delete any duplicate fonts. Do this by going to MacHD/Font Book, and scrolling through your listed fonts. Any that have a black dot next to them are duplicates. Select each duplicate font and click on Edit/Resolve Duplicates in the menu.
Finally, the colors bright white and red tend to turn out blurry. If you are using either of those fonts, try graying down the white and toning down the red.

Why are some pictures blurred in IMovie slideshow

I have used IMovie to make slideshows mixed with videos for years. I have even made one recently which was perfect. Suddenly, some of the photos, though crystal clear in the timeline are blurred when set in motion. Certain transitions seem to cause the affect, but, it is hard to figure out why and which ones do it. IMovie seems to record the show in 1080 HD (1920 x 1080) whatever that might mean. When I tried sharing it to ITunes in both HD 720p (1280 x 720) or Large 540p, there is some improvement, but not on all. I am at a total loss as to what to do.

Sounds like you are in Browser view, not the Viewer view.
Is anything reported in the Activity window ("Window→Show Activity")?
What happens if you select all and then while pressing "Option" execute "Photos→Generate Previews"?

Why are video clips glitchy in iMovie?

Hi!
I have a bunch of 1080p clips that have come off of a Panasonic GF3 digital camera. These were in .MTS format, but iMovie won't touch those unless they came straight off the camera (and they came off it a while ago). Instead, I used avconv (ffmpeg) to losslessly convert the MTS files to MP4. The new MP4 files play flawlessly on Mac (Quicktime), Windows and Linux.
However when I import them into iMovie, it completely messes them up. Any areas of the image that move get 'torn' and then 'repainted' one second later (on each keyframe). I'd put this down to the iMovie preview, but after rendering the completed iMovie project out I get exactly the same problem.
Does anyone know what the problem is or how I can fix this? I have basically finished my project now - only to find that the preview errors are permanent!
I have iMovie 10.0.5, and MacOS 10.9.5. I can provide example videos that exhibit the tearing if needed, as well as the final result of iMovie's rendering.
thanks,
- Gordon

Hello,
It's a long story, for the past year I've been trying to make a few simple slideshows from iPHOTO. Yes, it is suppose to be this simple few step process to send photos over to iDVD but it never works for me. In the beginning I was on the phone with the Apple help line and they would give me instruction. When one set of instructions did not work, the Apple help line person would give me different instructions. In the end the DVD slideshow was made/burned.
I've taken a few trips and I'm back to trying to make a DVD-R slideshow. I discovered through this discussion thread (see my question Why can't I make an IDVD
Posted: Jan 14, 2007 1:17 PM) that I need to go into Customize/Media/iMOVIE in iDVD and select the last slideshow that I imported and the process worked. Well I discovered that my fifty plus slideshows are sitting in iMOVIE. Most of the slideshows are repeats and I want to delete all of these bad slideshows and start fresh.
“Did you happen to use your digital still camera in movie mode?” At one point I downloaded a movie off of my digital camera into iPHOTO.
“Is it possible you are looking at the QT player window and not iMOVIE? No, when I open iMOVIE and select “Open an existing project” all of my imported slideshows from iPHOTO to iDVD are sitting in iMOVIE.
Can I delete all of these bad slideshows and start fresh? I’m having to come up with new slideshow names every time the slideshow DVD-R burning process does not work.
It takes alot of time to sit and wait for the Apple help line people. I actually bought a telephone headset because of this problem. I really just want to figure out how to do this the right way and stop wasting so much time.
Thanks for your time and interest!

Why are my titles not sharp?

After I made some ken burn effect to my pictures I exported it to high quality Quick time, for some reason the titles I added are not sharp and clear but blurred at the edges what could be the reason?
Also if I want to make a dvd video, what is the actual action I have to do, should I export it to iDVD to get a dvd quality?

Are you using QuickTime Player to play the high quality file you created? Is the file you created self-contained, or a reference file? Try clicking "Use high-quality video settings when available" in QuickTime Player's preferences.
Also, as for the DVD, I prefer to launch iDVD, create a new project, then drag the iMovie project icon (in the finder) to the iDVD project window (make sure you have quit iMovie first).

Why are duplicate titles grayed out but shown downloading?

I have an album downloaded from iTunes that shows duplicate titles of each song when looking on my iPod Music on my computer. These titles are grayed out and include the downloading symbol. I have deleted them several times but they always come back. What is going on?

Ann, thanks so much for trying to help me. I'm a novice and you might just want to give up....
I'm using CS4, have installed the contact sheet II feature since I was familiar with it. Just now tried your suggestion and was able to get all 9 pix as far as output preview in Bridge.
Here are the instructions that I'm following and had followed once before successfully while using CS:

How to make LCD screen look, why are my titles rolling the wrong way, How to add walking fog to menu

Hi, I've been using PP for a while, just started using CS3 a few months ago. A few quick questions:
1) My titles have somehow started rolling down instead of up, how do i change that? in otherwords the bottom of the credits show before the first part
2) I wanted to give an effect of an LCD look, is that possible? By that I mean like instead of filming a website from my monitor, what can give it tha tlook like an LCD grid or something.
3) I am thinking of creating a menu and wanted to add like a rolling fog on the top layer of a menu. I've never created a menu in Premiere, is that possible?

Edgar, please provide
these details to help us help you.
Cheers

Why are some of my pictures are green in imovie 10?

Why are some of my pictures are green in imovie 10?

I can't see the title of the clip, but my guess is that it is a WAV file or MP3.
The colors are determined here:

In the AppStore in categories in free section there are iPhoto, iMovie, Keynote, notes. But they have the prices near them. If they are free, then why are there prices near them? If not, then why are they in the free section? Thank you.

Why won't title size won't change in iMovie 10.1

why won't title size won't change in iMovie 10.1

Please check Help >> System Info to find your catalog's location. Close Organizer. Go to this location and within the catalog folder, rename the thumbs.5.cache file to say thumbs.5.cache.old.
Now relaunch Organizer and let the thumbnailing complete. You should get your thumbnails back in no time.

Good idea not to jailbreak.

Why is my 40 minute long iMovie showing to be 22.9 gb in total. if i go into all my files there are extra clips there and when i delete any of them it deletes my source clip

Why is my 40 minute long imovie video showing to be 22.9 gb in total if i go into.... all my files.... there are extra clips there and when i delete any of them it deletes my source clip. I think the video should be about 9gb

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

Why are iMovie events (2400 of them) shown in the iDVD movies pane along with my iMovie projects (12 of them)?

Why are iMovie events (2400 of them) shown in the iDVD movies pane along with my iMovie projects (12 of them)?

Sorry about the delay in responding, I've been putting up with a very slow iDVD, but now I'm fed up with it again. My version of iDVD is 7.1.2 (1158) running in Mac OS X, version 10.6.8, with 3.2GHz and i3 processor, 4GB of memory, on a desktop iMac. My version of iMovie'11 is 9.0.4 (1634).
I can stop iDVD from showing iMovie EVENTS (now 3247 of them) in its Media pane under Movies, by moving the iMovie Events folder from the iMovie folder ( that iDVD ALWAYS looks in) to somewhere else in that Directory (where I store all my data, and which I have named "browning"). But then iMovie can't display the EVENTS, because it is looking in the wrong place. So, how can I save iMovie Events in another folder (not iMovies) but somewhere where iMovie will find them?
Is there a method to change the default folders for iMovie and/or iDVD? How does iMovie know where the iMovie default directory is?
Should I put iMovie into the "Main" Mackintosh HD directory?
The Apple Store in Bath, UK, couldn't help, but surely I'm not the only iDVD user who is annoyed with this process?
HELP, please

Why aren't titles saved with the project? Where are they?

cs5 PC.
Why aren't titles saved with the project? Where are they? Can I get them to be saved with the project?

they aren't able to be exported as an entire bin folder ready for importing into another if needed.
Oh, but they are! You can select multiple titles, or even a bin containing multiple titles, and use the same File > Export > Title command. Premiere Pro will ask you where you want to save the first (and change the name, but it will default to the name given in the project), and then will automatically export all selected titles without further user intervention. You can import them en masse or in a folder (to create a bin automatically) into another project.
