Screen saver issue MacBook Air

I have a selection of photos in my "favorites" and my screen saver is set to draw from that source and shuffle. It was working fine and now suddenly all it does after the 5 minutes of no action is find ONE of those photos and stay on it. It no longer shuffles through even though it is set to do so. What do I do?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1

Wallpaper reverting on macOS Ventura I recently updated to macOS Ventura and I am trying to set a custom wallpaper from a JPEG photo. I have tried the following approaches: Through Finder: right-clicked on a photo and chose 'Set as Desktop Picture' Through System Settings: selected a photo from my Downloads folder (auto-rotate is not turned on) Through System settings: selected a photo from my iCloud photo library (auto-rotate is not turned on) In each case, my Mac reverts to a default photo within a matter of minutes. The source photo was not changed (i.e., it was not deleted or edited from my local files or from the iCloud photo library). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

iMovie Cropping Off Top of Menu Bar Hi, iMovie is cropping off the top half of the menu bar while I am creating a demo video for my application: Created several QuickTime screen recordings of my application including the menu bar -- the recordings have the entire menu bar (there are several recordings because I am recording this 10 minute video in pieces) Brought those recordings into an iMovie project Used "Fit" for the crop on each recording (I am not using "Crop to Fill") Added voice overs for those recordings in iMovie The top half of the menu bar is cut off in the output video If I bring one of those recordings into an empty project and do a Picture-in-Picture overlay over a black screenshot, then I can see the entire menu bar. But I have found no way to do the Picture-in-Picture trick for all of the clips. After 6 hours of trying, Google-ing fixes, and watching lots of YouTube videos I don't know what else to try. How can I make this video without the menu bar cut off? Thanks

Hi there Foxbug,

We understand your photos screensaver isn't displaying like you expect, and we want to help.

Try opening System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver and selecting another screen saver that displays multiple photos simultaneously, and make sure the same source (Favorites) is selected.

If this screen saver works like you expect, try reselecting your preferred screen saver again and test to see where there's any change.

Cheers!
