iMovie- Pictures become blurry after import

We are trying to make a slideshow of pictures in iMovie HD. We first put the photos into iPhoto, and the pictures looked great. Then, after importing them into iMovie HD, we noticed that the pictures looked blurry. We compared the pictures imported into iMovie to the pictures in iPhoto, and the ones in iPhoto had much better quality. We into the playback button in the preferences of iMovie HD to make sure that it was at the highest quality, and it was. We are very confused, and it will be greatly appreciated if someone can tell us the answer to our problem. Thanks! 🙂

Nice work Karl, as usual. I am still experimenting and getting any varied results.

Thank you so much for the directions to add the slideshow. That sounds really neat and not too hard. I am excited to try it.

I relly appreciate your help.

Having bookmarked this post I want to bring it back to the top to stop it being dropped off.

Thanks Karl

I have gone through many steps outlined in this thread and even checked the quality on television but still see low resolution where there shouldn't be.

Thanks again Karl - Just seems like alot of work, maybe there will be options in iMovie 6 - Can't set up an action since the crops would be on a picture by picture basis.

I will keep you posted on the experiments...

When you do, please say how much RAM your Mac has, as well as other Mac/OS details.

Terribly sorry about the hijacking - I am a rookie. I couldn't figure out how to post a new thread...
Again, thanks very much for your time and great help.
