Can you add pictures to trailers

You can only add video to Trailers.

However in project mode you can use photos & videos.

Actually, the iOS versions (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch) allow you to use photos on trailers. I've just got a Mac Mini a few days ago and just found out that I'm not able to on the full version. A little disappointing. I'm also disappointed that you cant import certain trailer "types" ie. superhero trailer on iOS is not on OSX 😟

You know what, i just found out you actually can, it's on another post. you simply click File > Convert to Project while you're on your trailer! Sweet!!! 🙂

The latest version of iMovie for iOS (version 1.4, updated Sept 19,2012) allows you to use photos in trailers. Ta-dah!

Add a picture to an event. Make any animation you want. Export it as a movie. Then import it back into the event. Then you can drag it into your trailer.

How do add a picture to an event? Seems I can only add video to my Event Library box.

Hi, great short cut but I guess we should put on wishlist:

- drag and drop into Imovie from finder

- add directly from Iphoto into trailer

Only videos when creating iMovie Trailers.

You can trick the system however...

Use QuickTime to do a quick screen recording of the image. So that you essentially have a 3/4 second video of just an image.

You can then input this into your iMovie trailer.

Easy.. 🙂

With an iOS device, I am not sure. I tend to avoid that when editing videos.

Doesn't this cause your Trailer to end? If I want a Project, I'll create one, but I want to use a Trailer!

My work-around was to create 2-second to 4-second movies from a single still image and export it (Share>Export Movie). The short movies can then be used in a Trailer without having to convert it to a project!

Hope this helps!
