There seems to be a bug in iMovie HD 5 (iLife 5) related to importing certain QuickTime movies. These movies play fine in QuickTime, but iMovie imports them as widescreen (16:9) rather than fullscreen (4:3) clips. This problem seems to be fixed in iMovie HD 6 (iLife 6). For iMovie HD 5 users, there are two workarounds: • Import the audio track and the video track separately rather than together • Save the clip in DV Stream format rather than QuickTime and import it that way You can create separate audio and video files in Cinematize by saving as “Separate Stream Files” or as QuickTime files with the setting “Normal Files, With Dependencies”.
