Why do iMovie clips automatically resize when I add content

I recently added content to my iMovie project on my Macbook Pro and many of the other layered videos, photos, transitions, etc, resized themselves!  Why does this happen and can I revert or avoid this in the past?  Trying to avoid double work.
Thanks

When you say "resized" do you mean that the clips actually change their duration or just that they change in terms of how the clips are displayed in the project viewer?
You can control the scale of the clips in the project viewer by dragging the little slider in the loweleft of the project viewer.

    Hi Razmee,
    Thanks for your response.
    The mail server worked when I originally set it up and continued to work for months afterwards.
    What would make the outgoing mail server not be set up correctly after all that time?
    Thanks again.

  • AdminExplorer won't automatically resize when there are lots of folders

    Hello
    On one of my portal pages there is an iView based on a modified AdminExplorer layout set.  It is modified so that the folders are not displayed in the main area - only in the left hand tree area.
    The iView is set to automatically resize.  So when there are more files, the iView gets bigger instead of scrolling.
    However, when the size of the folder tree increases (e.g. by opening subfolders in the tree area), the iView does not resize.  Instead, a scroll bar appears for the tree area.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this?

  • How to get jpegs automatically resized when placed in a book?

    Hello all,
    New member on board here. Got a question for you guys.
    When I pull a jpeg into a book page (I'm using the Library theme), I'm getting a "!" in a yellow triangle. I'm assuming that means the jpeg is too big.
    Is there a way that iPhoto can automatically resize a jpeg to fit within the parameters of the picture space?

    Thinkingman:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Just the opposite, it means that the pixel dimensions of the photo are deemed too small for optimum image quality by iPhoto. What pixel dimensions are the photos and what size frame are you using it in?
    iPhoto automatically resizes photos to fit the frames in books, and the containers in the other items, calendars, cards, etc.
    Do you Twango?

  • Image automatically resizing when moved onto a new tab

    When I'm moving a picture onto a canvas, it is automatically resized to a very small size. I wish only for the picture to move onto the canvas, then still keeping it's size. Afterwards, I wish to resize it myself using ctrl + t but the automatic small size is preventing me from making it better size, and less pixelated.
    Does anyone has a solution to turn off this automatic resizing?

    What resolution is the canvas and what size is the image (in pixels). Go to Image > Image Size...

  • Why is imovie changing my movie when I export it?

    I have created an iMovie clip where I have split the audio from the video and have attached a new audio track to it but when I export it either as a movie or via quicktime, during playback it appears that the original audio is not entirely gone and it will cut back in at random places with 1-3 seconds of orignial audio sounding simultaneously with the new one. When I playback from iMovie there is no additionaly sound so I can not find it to remove it.
    Any idea how i can keep the formatting exactly the same when I export it? Its my wedding video and it really means a lot to be able to burn it to a DVD perfectly.
    Thanks!

    Good to hear that the speed adjustment fixed the audio glitch for you Deborah. It would be nice to have, say, an option for 75% on the speed slider, as there is a big jump from 100% down to 50%. Often a more subtle speed adjustment is called for - particularly for wedding videos (good to see that you are editing your own wedding video).
    I'm not sure about this, but iMovie '11 may work correctly when adjusting the speed by entering the percentages manually. I don't recall anyone posting problems like this when using iMovie '11 (it's usually isolated to iMovie '09). So, if your Mac OS supports it, now might be a good time to upgrade to iMovie '11. For the latest version (9.0.8) you need Mac OS X 10.7.4 or later. If you are on Snow Leopard (10.6.8) I think iMovie '11 will update to 9.0.4 only.

  • Why is Site Slices pushed down when i add text?

    Probably because you may have used a graphics program to
    write your html
    code for you - did you? Or did you use layout mode in
    Dreamweaver? I can't
    see a link to the problem page... so I'm assuming. What
    happens when you
    have a rigid table layout for example, is that whenever you
    add text to a
    cell, that cell expands and the adjoining cells will push
    your original
    design out the window.... this may help:

    You may need to look at using nested

  • Why does my font color change when I add an image to InDesign?

    Hello, I am doing a page layout in InDesign and I am using a light blue font for my title but when I add an image from Photoshop, the font color turns dark blue. When I open the InDesign file in Adobe Acrobat, my title is still dark blue. It's only when I make a PDF of the file in Acrobat and open it in the Safari browser that the title goes back to its original light blue font. Is there something I can do to fix this? Thank you!

    Not a good idea. The flattened PSD has lost all its layers, adjustments, and effects. I hope you don’t need to edit it or change any layer’s visibility. Either that or you now have two files to keep track of and have neutered InDesign’s Edit Original feature. Better to take Peter’s advice and place the text above the image so it is not affected by transparency flattening. If you need the text below because you want the drop shadow to interact with the text, then use Overprint Preview (View menu) or Separations Preview (Window > Output) to get a more accurate view of the text colour.

  • Why does my page loose formating when i add a text link on an image box?

    I wanted to make my own nav with texts links.  but i wanted to put the nav on an image like a black box.  when i add the text and then link them to pages they started to work when i previewed them in iweb.  But when i uploaded it to my ftp it messed up the formating on my page!  So I tried to add a new text box without a link on the same image... now it doesn't even show up.  What is the general rule of text on images? all i want to do is make a text nav on the image. Also i have made sure the image is sent back and the text to front.

    I don't know if you've fixed them since michaelfromrochester's suggestion but all of the links are white with green rollover for me now.
    If you haven't fixed them the clear your browser's cache (Command+Option+E for Safari) and reload the site.

  • Why do input tags stop working when I add more tags to my project ?

    I'm having a problem with tags, when I add more input tags to my project the rest of the tags stop responding, that is when I monitor them with the tag monitor I get a low limit error, if I delete the new tags in the project the rest of the tags start working ok, the whole project has 804 tags, and I'm using a Pentium 4 2.8GHz server, 256 Mb RAM and Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Any idea of what could be happening ?

    Hello, I'm attaching the SCF File, the new tags that we created when the problem started are "VoltajeBateriaPozo11" and "VoltajeLineaPozo11" through "VoltajeBateriaPozo15" and "VoltajeLineaPozo15" (new set of tags)
    When this set of new tags are included in the SCF file the tags "VoltajeBateriaPozo1" and "VoltajeLineaPozo1" through "VoltajeBateriaPozo15" and "VoltajeLineaPozo15"
    don't show the correct value when we monitor them (We get the low limit alarm), the rest of the tags work properly.
    When we delete the new set of tags all the tags work properly (including "VoltajeBateriaPozo1" and "VoltajeLineaPozo1" through "VoltajeBateriaPozo10" and "VoltajeLineaPozo10").
    The OPC server we are using is the National Instruments OPC Lo
    okOut Driver Version 4.5, the alarms are not communication alarms.

  • Why did IMovie 9 start crashing when trying to import from camcorder

    I have Imovie 8.0.6 and a Panasonic HDC-SD60 camcorder. I have been importing from this camera for a long time, with no problems but now, IMovie crashes whenever I push the import button. I checked and when nothing is connected, the internal camera comes up when I push the import button. I connect the Panasonic first & see it on the desktop & then open Imovie. ANy idea why it keeps crashing?

    Yes,  20 GB is very little - when you import you produce AIC  files which are much larger than the original clips.  Unless you can clear a lot more space (tens of GB) you need an external hard drive to put your iMovie media on.
    This is the  AVCHD file structure you should see from the Finder when you connect your camera like an external drive:
    First copy the clips you want to use from the STREAM folder to another folder on your hard disk.
    Next, you need to convert them from .mts to .mov format using the free program Media Converter.  You can also do batch conversions by dropping multiple .mts files onto its window.  You need to instal the Re-wrap AVCHD for Quicktime - uncompressed Audioplugin.  It is fast since it is not transcoding but simply changing the video wrapper.  The website is:
    http://media-converter.sourceforge.net/
    The resulting .mov clips will import into iMovie (this works for iMovie 9 - I'm assuming it will also work with iMovie 8.)

  • Clips automatically lengthened when dragged into timeline

    Hello,
    I'm new to FCP X, just as I am with video editing so please forgive my noviceness!
    When I drag clips from the Event Library into the Timeline(?) (The bit at the bottom, where you arrange the clips) they are automatically made longer. For example, one clip has a length of 54 seconds in the event library, but when dragged into the timeline, it has been stretched to 56 seconds. I'm trying to match a band's studio recording footage to the finished audio and it is impossible when the clips are slowed down (and subsequently lower in pitch).
    Is there a setting I need to know about to prevent this? How can I fix this problem?
    Many thanks

    If you mark the 'In' and 'Out' points and then press the 'E' key, the clip should be added to the Timeline exactly as marked in the Event Library.
    Press 'Q' to add it above the Timeline as a Connected Clip at the Skimmer or the Playhead position.
    Press 'W' to insert it into the Timeline at the Skimmer or the Playhead position (all the other clips will be pushed along the timeline to make room for it).
    Press 'D' to overwrite it to the Timeline at the Skimmer or the Playhead position.
    If you try some of these options and the clip duration changes, I suggest you trash your preferences.
    Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
    Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs when FCP X (or any of the Apple Professional Applications) are working normally. Then when either of the applications are acting strangely, Trash the Preferences, then Restore from your backups (just a mouse-click).
    If you trash the prefs and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then your backups are up to date.
    Doesn't fix every problem, but it fixes a lot.

  • HT5148 Why did my clip turned red when importing from QT to FCPX?

    Hello. When I import my saved screenshot clip (Quicktime) to FCPX for assignment. It automatically turned red. I tried different ways of turning it back to orginial color. I failed. Help? pease....

    Tom Wolsky wrote:
    QuickTime screen captures don't work in FCP.
    I think this a little too definitive. I have used these captures in FCP X, so I would not make such a blanket assumption.
    I do reallize that issues are likely to arise, mostly due to inconsistent frame rates.

  • Why does ibooks author automatically resize all images of a gallery?

    The point here is, I have more than one graphic files (not pictures taken by a camera) to put into one gallery widget of an iBooks Author document. Unfortunately, not all figures have the same height/width aspect ratio. If I put them together in the gallery, some of them have cropped widths others have cropped heights. Impossible to losslessly fit all into the same gallery. If I scale alle figures to the same width, the result is acceptable for the figure with the highest heigth, all other figures are cropped again.
    Well in a first time, I was not that much concerned, but the iBooks Author Quality check refused to publish such eBooks, where some picutes appear cropped in the small view (not in the full-screen view).
    Now, why is the iBA software automatically sizing all images of a gallery w.r.t. the center of an image? It would be of much more help, to leave some white background boarders on images of un-equal height, as long as the width of all images is exactly the same. The crop-pan function would then be useful to individually place a smaller-than-the-rest image in that frame of its larger precedecor image.
    Can this autosize function be turned off? Am I really forced to paste smaller images into a white image of the maximum height/width of the galery's largest image?

    If you have differently shaped (height/width) images that you want to place in one gallery....
    The first image you place will determine the shape (max height and width) of your gallery mask, so choose it wisely.
    Before you add each image to the gallery go to photoshop and:
    1. Size the IMAGE to be at the max height OR width of your gallery mask -- do this if you want at least one dimension (height or width) to fit all the way across or up and down in the gallery mask.
    2. Size the CANVAS to the same height and width of your first image (the size of your gallery mask).
    I hope this makes sense and is helpful. Yes, it's ridiculous, but it's the only way I found to make images of different dimensions fit in a gallery.
