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  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.

    iMovie 06 is a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)

  • 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.

  • Is there a way to speed up video clips in imovie on ipad

    is there a way to speed up video clips in imovie on ipad? I'm currently editing some videos and would like to speed up a few clips to make the video shorter. Is this possible on ipad or just mac pcs only?

    actually, no 'add-ons' possible or avail for iMovie/MacOS/iOS…

  • 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?

    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!"

  • How do I rotate a video clip in iMovie when I am unable to click on the Cropping Button in the Adjust menu?

    Can you help me rotate my video clip in iMovie ?  I followed the instructions in the Help menu, but was stuck on Step 3  - after I had selected the entire Clip and then was unable to click  on the "Cropping Button". 

    Are you in the timeline? You can't access the crop button if the clip is in the browser.

  • Why can't I speed up video clips in iMovie for iOS?

    in iMovie 2.0, it allows me to slow down the video clip, but how come it doesn't let me speed up the clip? 

    Looking at the article you linked, this is all it actually says about video speed:
    You can change speed on videos and even do picture-in-picture on iOS devices. The changing speed setting is great for iPhone 5s who can record slo-mo video at 120 frames per second.
    As this states, you'd think that 120fps would be necessary to slow down video, otherwise it starts to look choppy. If you speed it up you're basically just dropping frames, right?  Still a mystery why we can't speed up in iMovie.

  • How do you add additional video clips to a multicamera sequence after aligning multiple cameras?

    We shoot extended videos (1-2 hours in length)  all the training videos I've seen for CC walk you though aligning the inital cuts and then editing, but they don't say how to add the rest of the clips from that session to each video track.  Any tips?

    Thanks Mark - That worked.  By the way, in case there are any other rookies out there trying to create a multicam sequence like this, make sure that you 1) create the MultiCam Source Sequence and then 2) right click on the Multicam sequence icon in the project window and then 3) choose open in timeline.
    Once the project is open, verify that the camera views are sync'd and then drag the follow on video clips to the end of the appropriate video track.  Once that is done, right click on the Multicam icon again and choose New Sequence from clip and your complete project will be ready to edit.
    Thanks Mark for the quick response.

  • How do I speed up video clips?

    I have iLife 08 but just downloaded iMovie HD 6 so I could do some more video editing features.
    I have about 5 clips that total about 55 minutes of footage. I want to shrink this down to 55 seconds. The Video FX in iMovie don't really help me do that.
    How can I speed up the video?

  • How do you make one video clip constantly switch colors?

    I am trying to make it that one video clip switches from one color then to another color then to another? I also don't want to break up the clip into multiple clips then just change the color on each sub clip because when I tried that, it wouldn't load well in playback because there were so many effects in a couple of seconds. Please help me, thanks!

    When you say 'switch from one color then to another color' do you mean you want the clip to show in shades of a single colour ranging from black to your colour and for that colour to change, or that you want the colours of the image to cycle so that red becomes blue, yellow becomes green and blue becomes red?
    If it is the 'shades of a single colour' you want, apply the 'Cast' effect from the 'Looks' section of the effects palette and use keyframes to animate the Midtones parameter.
    If you want to colour cycle, apply my free 'Gradient Colorize a4d' effect, edit the colours in the gradient and keyframe the 'Offset' parameter which cycles the gradient colours through the image. If you're interested I could create a free effect that could cycle through the colours in a gradient automatically.
    Download 'Gradient Colorize a4d' from my blog:

  • How do you put a video clip in the corner of a picture

    I have already replaced the video with the picture and detached the audio. I am trying to put the video clip in the corner of the picture.

    Yeah... I have some question for the iMovie version for MacBook Pro and the iMac on the iMovie for OS X forum. I found some of my answers here:

    This forum here I use when I have questions for iMovie for iOS, the version of iMovie that runs on iPad/iPhone.

  • How do I export a video clip to iMovie from iPhoto?

    My video clips and photos were imported from my iPhone 5 to iPhoto on my macbook pro.  Using iMovie, I can import the photos from iPhoto but am unable to import the video clips from iPhoto into iMovie.
    Is there a way that this can be done?

    How are you trying to import from iPhoto to iMovie? The movies in your iPhoto Library should appear in iMovie in the Event Library in the section for your system drive as event "iPhoto Videos".
    Here the videos from your iPhoto library should be shown, that you last opened in iPhoto; for example with my version of iMovie (9.0.8) the event library looks like this:
    Don't you see the videos there? What is your iPhoto version and iMovie version?
    As a workaround to import to iMovie you can always select the video in iPhoto and use "File > Reveal in Finder" to show the movie file and then import to iMovie using the Finder. Caution: When importing from the iPhoto library using the Finder, be sure to import to iMovie using the option "Copy files", not "Move files". Otherwise they will vanish from your iPhoto library.
