I am trying to make a quicktime move in iMovie 4.0 on my Mac running 10.3 and I am trying to do a slide show of my photos. I want to beable to burn the slideshow on to CD's to give to friends but the picture quality is so bad.
I know that I can create a slideshow in iPhoto and it looks great there but I can't do all of the nifty effects that iMovie has to offer. Is there something I am missing or something that I could do to make the photo quality much better in iMovie? The pictures themselves are great quality taken at 1280x960 pixels so I know it's not the pictures causing the trouble. Any suggestions?

I had a similar complaint some time ago -- I found that the quality of the text titles was awful when I exported to a quicktime file.
I was told that iMovie optimized everything to be displayed on a TV set, off of a DVD player...and that that had a negative effect on the look and feel of the pictures when played on the computer. Since then I've used iPhoto and Quicktime Pro to do my slideshows.

ok, that makes sence. lkalliance, I also have Quicktime Pro, is there something in Quicktime that I could do to get simular results? I do know I can export my slideshow from iPhoto and the quality is great but I would like more effects to play around with

I'm afraid I don't have any further insight into how to do Quicktime effects beyond what's already in the iPhoto software. I'll have to defer to someone else for that.

I think I figured it out! I am currently set to NTSC and playback mode at High Quality, but I checked 'Enhanced Video Playback' check box and that cleared the image up ALOT
