Tips
Organize your pictures ahead of time
If you plan to include lots of digital pictures in your movie, you may want to organize them first. In
iPhoto, create a new album, and then add the pictures in the order in which you want them to appear
in your movie.
Make a still image from a video clip
You may have a poor-quality video clip that contains one great image. With iMovie, you can easily
turn any frame of a video clip into a still image to use in your movie. Simply move the playhead to
the image in the clip, and choose Create Still Frame from the Edit menu. Your new still clip appears
in the Clips pane. If you want to adjust its length, double-click the clip to open the Clip Info window
and enter a new length for your still image.
Change the length of a still image
The method for changing the length of an image in your movie depends if it is a still image or has
the Ken Burns effect applied. For a still image, double-click the clip to open the Clip Info window
and enter a new length for your still image. For an image with the Ken Burns effect applied, select
the image, then adjust the duration slider at the bottom of the Photo Settings pane, and click Apply.
Of course you can also edit any clip directly in the timeline by choosing the Split Video Clip at
Playhead from the Edit menu.
Drag photos directly from iPhoto into the iMovie clips pane
You can also search your iPhoto Library from within iPhoto to find just the right picture for your
movie. When you locate the picture you want, drag it from iPhoto to the iMovie Clips pane or the
timeline.
Importing video clips you took using your digital camera
Many digital cameras let you take short video clips. This can be useful if you’re at an event without
your camcorder. When you import your photos into iPhoto, these movies will also become part of
your Photo Library. You can then drag these movie clips to your iMovie project and edit them, just
like the footage you take with your camcorder.
Use the Ken Burns Effect in iMovie to crop your pictures to match your widescreen footage
Within iMovie, when your project is set as HDV or DV Widescreen, the Photos pane is pre-set for
16:9 aspect ratio, allowing you to crop a photo to the same aspect ratio of your video footage.
Use iPhoto to resize your digital pictures to match your HD video footage
If you’re editing your pictures in iPhoto, for use with an HDV or DV widescreen iMovie project, go
to Edit mode, and then choose 16 x 9 (HD) from the Constrain pop-up menu in the bottom toolbar.
This will constrain the crop tool to a 16:9 ratio—the same used in your video footage. This way, you
can take advantage of the great editing tools in iPhoto.
Scanning your old photographs
You’re not limited to using only digital photos in your movie. Consider scanning your old pictures
and including them. For example, you could scan your parents’ wedding pictures to use in a video
you make for their wedding anniversary.
