Hello everyone!
I am wondering if somebody could help me. For the last 3 months I have been working on creating an animated stopmotion film. I have created the real 3D sets, done the clay figures and shot the still images. As I am not very good with computers and all the settings that there are, I just imported every single image from iPhoto into Imovie and changed the time lapse for each image to 0,2 and that�s how I created the animated film. It looks good, but since the film is now over 5 min long, the software (or can it be my computer?)get�s really slow. Sometimes I can�t even watch the video, and definitely not in the full size mode, just on a small video image in imovie.
I am getting really stressed about this now since I have put so much work into it and just want to finish the project (maybe add another 2 more min) and export it to a dvd with as good quality as possible.
I started to read about imovie and discovered it isn�t supposed to be used for stopmotion. So.. I just got istopmotion and did a small test reimporting just onescene, then trying to export it, and importing it into imovie (i like using imovie because of all the possibilities of playing around with contrasts and colors)
But now the quality of the images looks really bad. It isn�t at all as sharp as before. I have tried so many different settings while exporting from istopmotion, but it doesn�t seem to make much difference. I am working in 4:3 ration, and the best option seems to be HD ( but in 16:9 only) so that doesnt seem to work.
Does anybody have any advice for me?
Should I use a completely different software for this and start from scratch?
Or is there maybe just some small trick that I am missing??
I would be very thankful for help!

What codec is istopmotion exporting the video at? It's probably compressing the video before you send it back into iMovie which is exactly what you don't want it to do.

If you can settle on a current hardware offering, I would go ahead and switch, now is the perfect time from a software (OSX) standpoint. You aren't going to loose PPC support for a loooooooong time (people with intels are going to be the onl ones suffering for a while waiting for programmers to catch up) The OS, and the future potential for growth in Apple has never been stronger. If you can afford it, switch now...
P.S. With that monitor (which I would assume you'd want to keep), I'd suggest a powermac, or a 15 or 17 powerbook, as they have the horsepower to run it. (the mini won't support it at full resolution).

A faster Hard Drive really does that much? Interesting. Thanks

I wish you well with your eMac. How soon will you purchase? Hope that you will be getting extra RAM and AppleCare.
Didn't realize that you were 13. You are quite accomplished for your age.

Don't install a Dev Preview that you downloaded from Demonoid. That would probably be a great place to start fixing that issue.
the problem is not that my copy is a legit one im just looking for help

Yeah thats a good point. You are preaching to the choir, I really miss the feature (hence asking Loren about it). I don't imagine it will be too much longer before the 'Services' option in the iPhone version goes as well.
some of those 'services' are pretty pointless. I don't think 2 of them even work.

I don't really think most people who work at Apple Stores would be privy to tis information. :D
Nope any information is not known prior to the announcement.

Works great for me. But . . . there is still the "Are you still listening?" nag screen every hour, and there are commercials occasionally inserted between songs (maybe twice an hour). But, the commercials don't get saved when you're recording music. I've found it easier to save the songs to a desktop folder, rather than have them automatically transferred to iTunes. That way I can delete the songs I don't want before the transfer to iTunes. Also, it saves the songs into sub-folders matching the channels you were listening to, which helps with sorting. There is one issue that would make PandoraJam better, if they decide to fix it. You open the program in its own small non-browser screen, but you're not automatically logged in. So, you've got to switch to the full-size web mode, log in, and then go back to the small window. All in all, I think PandoraJam is pretty nice, but there are some annoying imperfections that should be addressed, and I wonder how long it will be around before Pandora tries to sue them out of business?

I've never had a frayed iPod or iPhone cable.
Sounds like some people are pulling on the cable instead of pulling the plug area.
I am very careful with my cables. I have never pulled them out by the cable, always the plug. I think it has more to do with always being bent and the ambient temperature.

Unfortunately it's an insurance job, RAC just happen to be the people Elephant use to replace windscreens. So I can't threaten to move to the AA, as I'm not even with RAC to begin with.Send the bill to Elephant.

I have several but most of them are from older iPhones. I have only had one, the ballistic HD for my iPhone 4 and its been wonderful. I highly recommend it.

Ditto on the grabbing a beer. It is that attention to detail that made the story.
I hope the jury throws this one out.

I'm having trouble deciding between a higher end 15-inch MBP or an 11" MBA with a gaming PC.
If I were to go with the combo, would an iBUYPOWER Gamer Power 567D3 in the 500 dollar price range be a good desktop for present and future gaming, or would the CyberpowerPC Gamer Ultra 2057's specs provide future proofing as well as justify the ~$900 price? (mainly the HD 5570 vs the 5770 and 4GB vs 8GB RAM)
If there are any other gaming PC's you have used, feel free to tell me what the best ones are!
