How do you  speed up a clip in imovie?

I have been learning how to use imovie but I cant seem to find how to speed up a clip... I think I have the newest version. Does someone know how?

Give the more powerful iMovie 06 a try, you'll find these features and others built in.
Below is a short video showing how slow / fast motion works in iMovie 06.

  • How do you speed up video clips for Imovie 8?

    How do you speed up video clips for Imovie 8?

    Do you mean get 55 minutes of real time footage to show in only 55 seconds?
    One way that might work but it will take a fair bit of work in multiple repeated steps.
    Select all the footage on the timeline and then use the Turtle/Rabbit slider to speed it all up to the maximum speed allowed. This of course won't be any where close to 55 seconds.
    BUT... export your movie back out to video tape or to a full quality DV format quicktime file. This speeded up version becomes "normal" time. Now reimport to iMovies. Since this is now normal speed as far as iMovie is concerned, you can again use the slider to speed the whole thing up to the max.
    Now just repeat as often as needed to get it as fast as you want. Export back out, reimport, adjust speed, export, import, adjust, etc.

  • How do you rotate and manipulate clips in imovie

    I have imported some video clips from a cell/mobile phone and am having trouble rotating my clips so they are verticle instead of horizotal. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions on what i can do

    you can download and use for free a 'rotate' plug-in from
    www.imovieplugins.com
    which teaches iMHD that feature..
    or, process your clips with the free tool
    Mpeg Streamclip
    www.squared5.com
    which has in its many export options a 'rotate' feature... don't forget to add a 75%zoom.. otherwise you chop-off heads..

  • How do you get timeline view on imovie 08  and speed up a clip on imovie 08

    how do you get timeline view on imovie 08  and speed up a clip on imovie 08

    Hi
    You can not - Nobody else (if not a very selected few at Apple dev.group)
    TimeLine was lost in iMovie'08 and 09 and a very simple one re-introduced in iMovie'11
    Speed Change - Was omitted in iMovie'08 - and returned in iMovie'09 - BUT has to be used in a certain way - the glider/slide if used - will destroy the audio (a Known BUG - in both iM'09 and iM'11) but use of pre-set fixed no. 25% 50% 100% 200% etc. will work.

  • How do you add a video clip to a slide show?

    How do you add a video clip to a slide show using elements 12?

    You can import some very short video clips into Photoshop and make gifs.  I can import short (10 second or so) .mvi video clips I've taken with my point and shoot camera.
    Use File ->Import->Video Frames to Layers
    CS3 doesn't recognize .mvi files until you enter *.* in the box, hit load, then find the file you want.
    After the file has been loaded, go to Windows, and check Animation.
    After the Animation bar loads, go to the right side arrow, check Make Frames from Layers.
    Then Save for Web and Devices, and you've got your gif.
    I find it much easier to use the separate software.

  • In iMovie 11, how can you cut/paste a clip that has subtitles and actually have the subtitles get cut/pasted. When I try, the subtitles disappear into the void and I have to do the subtitling all over again.

  • How do you move a sound clip in the timeline?

    I have not had this problem before. I have put many songs into the timeline, and repositioned them. Today I pulled up a project and attempted to reposition a song to fit in better with the clip, and I'm unable to do so. I can't select the song, or anything else. Obviously I have set or locked up this track, and I can't figure out how to unlock if that is what I have done. I have 6 songs on that track, Audio track 2, and I can't reposition any of them. I can't even remove them from that track. What am I doing wrong?

    Hunt, most of my music files, over 9000 songs, are mostly mp3 files and a few are wma, and because of copyright laws I wouldn't use them in a commercial project I'm working on anyway. When I am working on a project for a client I will generally use higher quality WAV files. This project was being done just to learn some new techniques, gain some more experience with PPCS4, and expand my knowledge with the program. I have this huge number of music files and styles to work with, so I can do a great deal of experimentation to see what different songs can do to the mood of the video.
    As a test, I did put the exact same songs into the timeline on a different audio track. The problem track is audio 2, and I duplicated those songs on audio 3. I did the exact same editing. I faded them in and out the same as before. Split one song into 3 sections had parts of it come in and out over a video section of 9 minutes duration. They are working perfectly. I was just working on one section of that project a half hour ago, and I was still able to select and move each of the four songs on that track any way that I wanted to. However, the track just above it in that same timeline, Track 2, is still frozen.
    Hunt, just a moment ago I solved my problem. Still not being that familiar with the program, two days ago I know that I was playing with all of the controls, and I obviously hit one of them without knowing one of its side effects. I hit the show "show track keyframes". I'm sure that you know it, but I didn't realize that when that function is selected, you can't do much else with the track but play with those keyframe. Even though I didn't have the track locked, in the traditional way, it was still, for all practicall reasons, locked. I unchecked that function and now everything is back to normal again on that track.
    Something very simple, as many things turn out to be when you understand it. However, maybe someone else will make the same mistake, and my posting here will help them.
    I will use your suggestions for using .WAV files. Thank you again.

    Terry,
    What is the purpose of using the .WMA files? I'm sure that you have a good reason, but they can be problematic, at best. I only use them as a trasfer medium, when I need to get a DD 5.1 SS soundtrack into Audition for editing. There, I break them out into 6 discrete .WAV files, edit in Multi-track Mode and then usually Export as the 6 discrete WAV's to be encoded to DTS, or similar.
    If you do not have a compelling reason for using the .WMA, try PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit and see if the issues go away.
    Good luck, and let us know how it goes please,
    Hunt

  • How do you devide media into clips?

    Have not used Final Cut in a while and I'm lost. How do you seperate media into clips?
    Thanks

    Step 1: Import or capture the media in the proper format so it will match your Sequence settings.  Once media is imported, it is defined as a clip no matter how long its duration.
    Step 2: Double click a clip in the Browser to load it into the Viewer.  Set an IN point and an OUT point on the clip in the Viewer for the first section you want to use.
    Step 3: Edit the section into the Timeline where you want it to go.
    Step 4: repeat step 3 as needed.

  • HT201272 downloading a movie to IPad taking 24hrs how can you speed it up?

    Downloading a movie purchase from ITunes store to Ipad3 is taking 24 hours. How can you speed it up?

    First, try resetting your device. Press and hold both the home button and the sleep/wake button for about 10 seconds, until the screen turns off. Ignore the slider that will appear. Release the buttons, then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears. This is the equivalent of a reboot, and should not affect your data or apps.
    If that doesn't help, try restoring your device from backups, and if that doesn't help, restore it to factory settings (ie, do not restore a backup). See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    If none of that helps, the issue is caused by some kind of hardware problem, and the device will need to be repaired or (more likely) replaced.

  • Hallo!!  how can i delete a rejected clip in iMovie 10.0.7?? Or is it not possible??

    Hallo!!  how can i delete a rejected clip in iMovie 10.0.7?? Or is it not possible??

    You can delete a complete clip which is not in use in any project by right-clicking it and choosing "move to trash".  It won't actually appear in the trash can but will be permanently deleted when you quit iMovie.

  • How do you open the trash can in iMovie 4.0?

    How do you open the trash can in iMovie 4 to retrieve files?
    thanks,
    gil

    Gil:
    Read this from imovie Guru, Karl Petersen:
    "All may not be lost. A couple of things to keep in mind:
    A. Don't forget that iMovie uses non-destructive editing, so the source file of a clip is never shortened. (The source file for each clip is stored in the Media folder of the project. Each scene imported from the camera arrives with its own Media file. Source files can support one clip or many.)
    If you split Clip A into two clips, then discard one of the clips and empty the trash, the original Media file is NOT discarded. The Media file itself is discarded ONLY if you discard the last clip that uses that source file. (In the past, iMovie would remove a portion of the Media file, shortening the file. iMovie HD NEVER shortens a Media file.)
    So the lost video may still be there, just not be represented by a clip. To retrieve the video of a split clip, select the clip and choose Advanced > Restore Clip to Original. That returns it to its original length. (Or better still, Option-drag the clip to some other place on the timeline to make a copy of it, then Restore the copy.)
    Emptying the trash does two things: 1) discards the CLIPS we've trashed -- clips perhaps created by splitting Clip A, and 2) sometimes it discards the source files for those clips. But #2 occurs only when no other project clip references that Media file. So long as any clip in the project relies on a Media file the file is not discarded. That means any clip that uses that source file can be restored to the file's original length and content.
    So the stuff you lost may be gone. Or not.
    B. A backup copy of the project file exists inside the project package. It is a copy of the project file as it was BEFORE you last saved. If you've saved the project just once, it may help.
    I suggest making a copy of the project and working on the copy. To make a copy, select the project in the Finder and choose Edit > Copy "your file name goes here".
    To look inside the package, Control-click on the project icon and choose "Show Package Contents" from the popUp menu. You'll see several project files inside the package, one with a tilde (~) in its name. That's the backup. Double-click on it to open the project. The discarded clips may appear, or they may be gone. (This will NOT recover any Media files that have been discarded.)
    If the backup project looks usable, quit iMovie without saving, move the current project file outside the package, change the name of the backup project file to match the current project file, open the project and save.

    How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?  (The clips are in a .mov format, they have been imported / converted into this format in iMovie, original files were from a JVC camcorder in some other strange format.)

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"
