Why Won't iMovie Import my JPEGs!?

I have about 120 JPGs I need to import into an iMovie I'm making. Some import fine, but others are grayed. I need these pictures! Do I need to save them differently or something?

    iMovie is too picky about type/creator file types.



    Use GetInfo (available at versiontracker) or one of the other apps mentioned at this site, and follow the instructions you'll find here:

    Bookmark it. It's handy.

    You are NOT going to make a still picture tribute "video" out of those images are you? <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />

    No I'm not. It's a video I'm making for my old principal. She needs a year in review video, and she want's to implement video and pictures.





    Thanks for the site seb. It has answers to a few other of my questions also.

    I had the same problem once as well. A batch convert in Graphic Converter from jpeg to jpeg made it work tho (probably fixed the type and creator codes, as seb mentioned)
