Help! My Keynote Project Looks Wrong in iMovie!!!

If you move your Keynote project to iMovie and discover that suddenly the text or other elements of your animation run off the screen and aren't visible in your project window, DON'T PANIC!

This is a simple fix, caused by a difference in Aspect Ratio (remember that? very important that you do).

Step 1). In iMovie, choose "Project Properties" from the File menu.


The window that allows you to select the aspect ratio and themes will come up. If you're project looks wonky, it's likely set to Widescreen (16:9) aspect ratio, which is iMovie's default setting.



Step 2). Simply change the widescreen setting to "Standard (4:3)" and click ok. Leave the Theme at "None." and  your project will return to it's original size (Keynote uses a Standard aspect ratio) and all will be well.
