question of proportions iMovie

using iMovie 10.1.2

I'm editing pieces of vintage television.

whenever I did export to a file, the program puts in an image format widescreen.  I don't want that.  It meanders off to cut off the heads and to distort things.

How can I tell iMovie to keep the original proportions and NOT export by a widescreen ratio?

Thank you!

Unfortunately, iMovie 10.1.2 operates in a 16:9 format and there is no way to change this.  Once your film is shared, you will be able to convert the 16:9 4:3 using a free download application as the brake hand or Streamclip.  But there are other applications that do this job as well.

  • Question of proportions for my 16mm film / digital

    I'm very new to all this, so I don't know is it's a simple question with an obvious answer, but I thought that it is better to throw in the community. I'm currently editing a film I shot on 16mm film, so it would be in the Academy report. When I had digitally transferred it they provided the black bars on the left and right sides of the framework so, technically, it's a picture big screen.

    I ran into an issue. I have some photos that I caught on digital for various reasons and I need these shots to match the black bars on the sides left and right of the images shot on film.

  • Question of proportions

    I have windows 7 installed in my laptop... When I tried to play "NFS Most Wanted" the game would not hold the entire screen. The game only uses a square in the screen area. I have searched and tried all the video settings in the game and it does not solve the problem. How can I change the image format for this game. Is it possible to use windows options to solve this problem... If so, please provide a list drawn up by steps in the instructions. Thanks :)

    You may be able to make the game to adapt to the full screen, but it looks better in the original
    format as it extends sideways to fit a large screen.
    Many other games will fit widescreen, but chop off the top and bottom of the image
    in order to adapt without stretching, which also draws in shortcut field of vision a bit.

    For NFS - MW, I use a special launcher that allows you to select a resolution.
    I use 1600 X 1024 on my 1920 X 1080 screen. This res makes the image a little wider, but only it extends a small amount, and you can still see the front of the car from the inside view (the driving position I like better).
    The Launcher used to appear on the website below, but I don't know if it's still there.

    Category: games - Widescreen Gaming Wiki

    It should also be options in your graphics control panel to force the big screen with
    everything. With Nvidia, it's to ' set the office size and position "------"Scaling ".

  • Question of proportions when you replace a clip in Premiere CS6 with a Composition After Effects CS6

    Please help! When I try to right click on a clip in my timeline first and replace with After Effects composition, I can do it, but problems ensue.

    After Effects lights, but the composition will be in 4 / 3, even if the project and clip that I'm alters were the two 16:9.

    I was able to change the aspect ratio of 16:9 in After Effects and then change what I wanted, but an hour later, when I had finsihed, saved and went to the first, he smushed the clip replaced 4:3 in the first.

    To reitterate:


    When I replace a clip in first with a mock-up of the AE, AE opens in 4:3.

    I can change the model of EI in 16:9, but when I save and return to the first, there smushed the model of EI down to 4:3.

    What can I do to stop this?

    If you right click on the item in the project Panel, then select Edit / interpret the images you will see a Pixel Aspect Ratio.

    What did he say?

    If she says 0.9091 then change to 1.2121

    If she says something, come back and let me know. Then I will have a different answer for you.

    Also, what is the size of the frame of the video.

  • time of transition iMovie does not change

    I read the questions posted on iMovie and the change of the time of transition.   I google the topic and read the messages and watched youtube videos.    BUT - I STILL CAN'T iMovie to edit the duration of transitions.   My clips definitely have more than enough time for them to handle 2-3 second transition but no matter what I do the transition goes back to 1 second.          Maybe someone has a suggestion for me?

    iMOvie 10.1.2

    new iMac

    iMovie can be inconsistent at times about the time of transition. Supposedly in 10.1.2 you can double-click on the transition and a window will appear where you can set the time. I found it does not always take. Another way that seems to work is to make a selection in the browser before you add the clip to the timeline, leaving a few seconds on each end of the clamp. One who still works for me is to use the precision Editor. Right-click on the transition and the select precision Editor. In the editor, you can adjust the time of transition.

  • IMovie 09 with El Capitan will not otherwise pictures/iphoto or itunes - projects lost forever?

    Simple (I hope) questions on imovie and iphoto/photos/itunes... Well simple enough...

    I use imovie 09 with El Capitan. As you know that el Capitan not including iphoto, imovie 09 can no longer access to iphoto.  Pictures is the replacement for iphoto and imovie 09 will not otherwise be. Finally, imovie 09 access is more itunes.

    I have so many projects that are now useless, like all pictures and external soundtracks are more accessible.

    IF I update to imovie 10 version (a snip at £10.99 apparently)...

    (a) my imovie 09 projects will be viable, IE. will be links to the (ex-iphoto, now photos) images and itunes files to recovery for my old projects are not lost forever?

    (b) the new imovie will be able to access photos and itunes as good old imovie 09 used to before el capitan burned its bridges for her?

    This may be academic, because in some things I can't access my old projects in any case. What is scary and sad.

    But any assistance gratefully received. Thank you!

    I use imovie 09 with El Capitan. As you know that el Capitan not including iphoto, imovie 09 can no longer access to iphoto.

    Have you tried updating iPhoto version 9.6.1? This version works well on El Capitan and iMovie 9.0.9 shows iPhoto libraries in the photo browser. The screenshot below is from iMovie on OS X 10.11.5 9.0.9: I don't have older versions of iMovie, if they are still able to see the iPhoto library.

    You can update to iPhoto 9.6.1, if you have a version of iPhoto 11, which shows the history of your purchases on the App Store in, see user Barney'a trick:

    Can't update iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store.

    Your question (a)

    I migrated libraries iMovie 9.0.9 to 10, some time ago, and the conversion was lossless. But I can't test what will happen now.

    Your question (b)

    iMovie 10.1.2 shows me all the libraries of my picture in the Media tab - the iPhoto, Aperture, photo library library library, also a long time that you have installed the compatible applications.

    And the iTunes Library will accomplish in the Audio tab.

  • iMovie cut up and down video Quicktime

    I use Quicktime for recording of the screen an opening statement.  I add music to it later.

    When I finish recording I imported into iMovie.  In iMovie, I see that the top and bottom of the video is cut.  Is it possible to adjust the format of a quicktime video in iMovie?

    Thank you!

    Looks like you have a problem of proportions. iMovie displays only in 16 x 9. Don't know what aspect of film Keynote is. What I would try is your clip in the timeline and in the tool bar, click the crop and select adjust. To display the whole clip if you have black bars.

  • Sony A7ii 3:2 or 16:9

    Hello

    I have a question about proportions. I shoot the pictures in mode 3:2, but when I go to video, I have to change to 16:9 (I guess by defaul HD 16:9 video, right?). I want to just make sure I'm not shooting video of 3:2. Thank you!

    When you save a movie, the camera will select the proportions appropriate for some Record Setting selected.

    If you selected XAVC S or AVCHD the 16:9 aspect ratio, and if you select MP4 proportions will be 4:3.

  • Video resolution is not not to

    I've shot two videos with my Sony camcorder. The second film was a short that

    I opened in After Effects CS 3. I used CC scatterize on it for use with the first clip.

    Sony camcorder movies are mi/gal.  I made the movie I got in After Effects

    as a .avi.  I will try to explain my problem my best.  The first film that does not

    go through A.E. when open in VLC, the width will completely button reduce.

    The movie that came out of A.E. when opened in VLC, the width does not go far.

    I checked the resolution and two clips said 720 x 480.  In A.E. I made the film in

    NTSCDV and NTSCDV big screen. Still the same problem. Now, I'm not even a novice

    This kind of thing. I just try to make a funny film for my grandchildren. Is it because the movie

    mpg and another avi?  I think I have a converter to convert mpg to avi movie.

    I'm not sure if I explained well enough.  When I put the two films together, the

    one of A.E. comes with a black border on the width.  Thank you.

    Sounds like a question of proportions of pixels.  If you shot in 720 x 480 wide screen on the camcorder, the pixels are supposed to be stretched a bit to fit wide screen.

    But before that goes any further, even more important is the following - what you will do NEXT with your AE render file?  Make a DVD?  Do a quicktime movie to play on the computer?  This stuff is important.  Usually with AE, you start with the specifications of the delivery and back.

    You should also know that AE CS3 doesn't play well with the mpeg video.  If you are planning to get fancy in your AE work in the future, I would like to transcode videos to another Media container & Codec so that AE 1) behaves and preserve 2) you image quality as much as possible.  Personally, I like quicktime movies in Photo JPEG, PNG or Animation codecs for it.

  • I have a project in iMovie HD6 and want export to Final Cut Pro.  I see that it is not possible from the previous questions, but is it possible that I could maybe create a dvd of the iMovie project and then who import in Final Cut?

    I have a project in iMovie HD6 and want export to Final Cut Pro.  I see that it is not possible from the previous questions, but is it possible that I could maybe create a dvd of the iMovie project and then who import in Final Cut?  I just want to make a new trailer for the project.

    What you suggest is possible but it takes software and third-party quality loss.

    Instead, export a QuickTIme movie. If you have a choice of codecs, choose Apple Intermediate Codec. You can save it where you want it-maybe in the movies.

    Then import the movie into FCP as a clip.

    Good luck.

  • iMovie 10.12 El Capitan audio question

    I recently updated my 2009 MBP Middle no El Capitan. This forced me to buy the new version of iMovie 10.12.  Since then, I have a hard time to normalize the audio tracks in an iMovie project.  How do I in the latest version of iMovie? Is there a way I can standardize all separate audio clips at the same time? Or do I have to do each one individually?

    Hello

    This iMovie help link will explain how to adjust the volume on individual items.

    http://help.Apple.com/iMovie/Mac/10.1/#/mov3b5ded23e

    You can set multiple clips in volume at the same time shift-select-the while they are selected at the same time, and then clicking on the speaker icon in the toolbar at the top of your screen.   You will see a scroll bar that when you move back, allows to adjust the volume at the same time on all of the selected clips.  It works as well for audio embedded in the video clips.

    When you work with audio, make sure that the box show the waveform is selected in the settings box you get when you click the button settings on environment right on your screen.

    I hope this helps.

  • Question of iMovie file Structure

    When you use iMovie v10.1.2, I created a project, completed, and then shared it in a single file.

    Then I went back to iMovie and depending on the projects that I have deleted to save space on the hard disk.

    When I returned in the media view, I saw iMovie has created an 'event' with the same project files that I just deleted.

    This is the example of the scenario I have:

    -J' have created a 'event' 'x' folder and downloaded video files from my camera in the folder

    -J' then I created a project 'y' and edited clips using video files of 'x' folder event

    -J' then shared the project 'y' in a single mp4 file

    -In view of the project, I then deleted project 'y '.

    -When I got to the media view, I saw I have now my record original event 'x' and also noticed that iMovie has automatically created and the event file containing the items that I used in the project 'y', using the same file name for the event that the project folder

    Now, I think I have a double to the top of the same event files in 2 folders separate event 'x' and 'y', is this correct, and why does do this?

    I need to save space on my drive hard while I was trying to delete the folder 'y' in the media view that iMovie created automatically, what worries me is if the iMovie connects the files in the two events 'x' and 'y' or they just separate event files where delete the event folder of 'y' will have no impact on the event of 'x' folder where I originally downloaded video clips to?

    iMovie creates a media event for each project. When you add media to the project, it goes in the media event of the project. When you delete the project does not remove the media event of the project. You must do so separately. If you have created the event x folder in the finder and downloaded into it and then imported into iMovie from it you should see no impact to it by removing the multimedia project file. If you imported using import iMovie window and created the event x folder by using the import window you should see it in the sidebar as a library of events. removal of the media event of the project does not affect it. It is my understanding of the works of iMovie.

  • Basic iMovie... so frustrated questions

    I am a long time user of iMovie... This latest version 10.01 seems to have way back.

    How can I select several photos on the timeline and change the duration?

    Why the background music does not disappear when I add pictures?

    I am so frustrated with this latest version - I used to be able to make very detailed editing and synchronization of music - now it feels like a roll of the dice.

    I'm on the most recent and iMac, el capitan and iMovie last.

    To change the duration of multiple photos, hold down the SHIFT key, and then select several photos.  In the toolbar at the top of your screen, click the information button (the one that has an i with a circle around it).  You will see a box below and to the right length.  Enter the desired time.   Press return on your keyboard.   All of your selected photos will now have the same duration.

    The background music should not disappear when you add photos.  Don't know why you are having this problem.    However, if you delete the photo to which is attached the audio clip, the audio will be deleted as well.  If your problem persists, you might try a simple reboot, or move your videos to a newly created project.

  • Questions about projects in iMovie

    I keep my iMovie projects and events on an external hard drive.  Yesterday, I installed 10 and put iMovie to day of my projects.  For iMovie 10 completely stumped me, I read that v. 9 is still in my computer.  I found, opened it and went to work with my projects.  I found that the text boxes have been bleached.  I could click on them and the text that appeared, but next time, that it came to this part of the film, they have been hidden again.  Help!  Is it because I have updated their?  How can I get them back to normal?

    iMovie 9 does not work properly with El Capitan.  The main problem is with still photos, but there are other things that behave strangely, although I have not heard of it with text boxes.   iMovie 10 is very different and takes some re-learning using the help files that are also at: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/.
