Why is a second image present when I drag one photo into iMovie timeline?

If I drag one photo, either from iPhoto or Finder, into the project library I expect a still image to be inserted into timeline for a default of 5 seconds.  But the first two seconds of the still is another photo!  I have no idea how this second image is showing up.  The pics are regular jpegs, and open up fine in preview and iphoto.  I can't figure out what is happening.  If I delete the imported image and any connected transitions, then re-drag into iMovie, I still get a double image.  Please Help!!!

To what codec, frame size & frame rate did you convert the files in Streamclip?
If it isn't AIC 720p30, you'll need to render.

    When I drag a photo into my iMovie project and press play, a video still plays and not my photos.

    I had a similar problem, and i found that the photo was of very low resoluton. As a test I resized the image to a lrager resolution using photoshop CS4 and re saved it as JPG. I imported the new saved image and it seem to have fixed the problem.

  • When I drag a photo to the timeline on iMovie, a different photo appears.  I've tried recreating thumbnails, and also created the problem photos in a test library.

    When I drag a photo to the timeline on i-Movie sometimes a different photo, or even a video appear and sometimes it is just a black screen.  I've tried recreating thumbnails, and even copied the problem photos into a test library, but still can't get it to work.  Genius Bar kept my laptop 6 days and didn't do anything to help, just said the project was corrupt and I would need to recreate.  Just tried a completely new project with totallty different photos and still experiencing the same problem.  Anyone else had this issue?

    (2) Simply because under iOS, the app isn't supposed to import iWork '08 files.
    The internal description of the document is really different in '08 and '09.
    To get more help, ask in the forum dedicated to iWork for iOS.
    Here most of us aren't using Pages4iDevices.

  • When I drag a picture into the timeline it is magnified like 7 times, and can't use it

    I was using Adobe 8.0 Premier all year and all this weekend. Everything worked fine. (I never upgraded to 9.0 becasue presets won't carry over and didn't want to recreate all of them)
    I decided to do an instant movie. When it started the title page was really magnified. I didnt tlike the order, so I quit the process and restarted PE8.
    Upon restarting, every image I drag to the timeline is magnified like 5 to 7 times. If I double click the image form the project tray the image looks good. I just can't drag and drop. I need to edit effect to .13% of value in the motio tab to get the picture to fit.
    I uninstalled 8 and reinastalled. I installed the updates. Still nothing. I cant figure out what is happening.
    Is there a setting or something.
    Thanks Chuck
    (One goofy thing I noticed after the Instant Movie goof - all my pictures in the tray have like a little (red circle and green square) icon in the upper right.

    Under Edit> Preferences> General uncheck "Default Scale to Frame Size". This will work for future added stills. For those already added right-click the image in the timeline and uncheck "Scale to Frame Size".

  • Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver?   The same images look fine in Preview and Finder.  Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

    The desktop image is fine, taken from the exact same pool of jpg photos.  However, as soon as the slide show screen saver comes on, the images are scrambled.  What is it about the apple screen saver algorithm that scrambles the pics?

  • Why is my raw image cropped when I reopen it?

    why is my raw image cropped when I reopen it?

    When you edit a RAW file, any changes you made are stored in a Sidecar file with the same file name, but with a .xmp extension.  If you find and delete that sidecar file, then the RAW file will open uncropped.  But, you only have to select the Crop tool in ACR, and the crop window with handles will appear, so you can change the crop.   Or having sellected the crop tool in ACR, the escape key wil cause your image to revert to full size.

    Hi
    A very common origin to jumpy picture is
    • Recorded material in one frame rate e.g. 29.97fps (NTSC) and iDVD set to do a 25fps (PAL) project - OR the other way around.
    It delivers a DVD but a very bad one.
    I do convert all my material to same fps as the DVD I want to do (e.g. PAL) - before any editing etc.
    I use JES_Deinterlacer or Compressor to do this and the result is so much better.
    JES_Deinterlacer is free on Internet and makes a Great job - Professional alternatives comes at an astronomical cost and the quality is not hardly no better.

  • Can't find some albums when trying to insert photos into other programs

    I am having trouble finding albums (and thus pictures) when trying to insert photos into a Word document or upload to mySpace/ facebook etc.
    After choosing 'insert<picture<from file<pictures<iPhoto Library' , I have the option of looking into the year-month-date or by album. Since I have a better memory of the 50+ albums I have created rather than their dates, I choose "Albums". This list only contains about half of my albums (with folder icons) and it appears outdated...ie one of the albums no longer exists in iPhoto and has been changed to a folders with several albums in it.
    I'm wondering why this is happening or how i can update the album list. I realize i could use the year-month-day thing but that is too frustrating.

    Hi chantreya,
    iPhoto 5 now stores the Album information in a data xml file. The Albums folder within the iPhoto Library folder is no longer used. At some point, usually after a rebuild, you will no longer have that folder in the Finder.
    If you need to access photos from an album it is very difficult for a third party application to navigate the iPhoto Library in order to find the photo you need. You will have to know the date of import in order to find the photo.
    There are some third party applications that can read the xml file and can navigate the iPhoto library and show you the Albums. Hopefully more applications will be revised to read this file.
    Until then you will have to Share/Export the photos to the desktop. You can then navigate to the desktop to use the photos (example: web uploading from online photo site)
    If your application supports drag and drop, you can drag the photo from an open iPhoto Library window into your application.
    For email you can also use the email icon within iPhoto to open a message with the highlighted photo attached.
    You can also use spotlight to find images in an Album...
    This is what I have done using Spotlight to find my images that are in iPhoto albums without opening iPhoto..
    In iPhoto, select the album, then select all, go to Photos/batch change.
    Change the comments to text. In the text field I put the name of the Album.
    Do this for each album.
    Close iPhoto.
    Open Spotlight and put in the name of the Album ( you have to remember the names of the albums or have then written down)
    In the spotlight search results. click on "show all"
    Under "Images" click on the "xx more" to show all the images in the album.
    Make sure you have it in icon view, the icon view box is the last one on the blue images line.
    Now you can control click on the image to "reveal in finder", open in iPhoto or Mail, etc.
    I am not sure if this is going to make you happy and it is a little more work, but you can find images in albums and even view them in a slideshow (by clicking the play arrow at the end of the Images highlighted blue line) using Spotlight, all without opening iPhoto.
    One important thing to know is you can set up a graphic program to be an external editor (when you double click an image in the library} such as PhotoShop or PS Elements. You set up that within iPhoto Preferences. Just make sure you save the image flattened and with the same name. The edits will then be relected in iPhoto when you hit "save".

  • I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this?

    I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.

    The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
    The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
    Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
    This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.

  • Again...  photos into imovie...   why doesn't this work at all???!!!

    alright.
    made it a couple times. no problem. but for right now either i have a problem with my mac or here are some nervewrecking coincidences going on to make my life just that more complicated:
    as in every youtube-tutorial about how to get pictures into imovie and in lots of macusers logic to get a photo into imovie you do this with the function of the mediacenter at the center-right. so you go there click on the iphoto and to fast forward everything go for the searchbar and look for the photo you want, drag it to the upper left side or if you changed setting bottom left side and then, what comes next...    yep...   right...   you drop it....   well yeah, if there would be the possibility => i got no possibility to drop my pictures.
    however, this is no problem for me with my videos, with my audio but for some random reason photos are unpossible for me to drag there.
    somebody an advice? something with the setting? it's normal jpeg, it's imovie from the year 2009 which is version 8

    alright, you guys, forget about what i just said...   i know why it's not working, it is a file that is not as a quadratic picture but one that is just cut out of a quadratic picture. so it's probably that's why it is not working....
    so let's take this thing to a different level:
    how can i get things that i cut out from editors like gimp and made a jpeg file out of it get into imovie when they are not quadratic? 
    My idea is to make a video and add in the foreground some little pictures. something like a logo that i can't make with the writing software of imovie. So hoy can i add such a thing or is it even possible?
