Adding a background video clip covers my template.

Is there a way to have a background video playing behind the framesFilmstripCover template?
Thanks!

Do you have Flash? If so, it's pretty straightforward - there's a FLV playback Component, you drag that onto the stage, link it to your FLV file, and save as a SWF (more or less).

  • Not seeing menu template in front of background video clip

    When I put my video clip in the editor for a background and pick the tutorial main menu template, I do not see the diagonal lines in the editor, only buttonsfrom the template. So , I am not seeing the template in front of my backround clip.

    Did not receive a response so I cancelled this post.

  • Music splits when adding photo and video clip

    Every time I add a new photo or video clip it makes the music split, so there is a gap in music from the beginning of the clip to the end. I can pull the music back, but that is getting aggravating. Is it the setting I have it on?

    There's a grey horizontal line near the middle of each track. When you drag a new item from the browser into the timeline, it appears with a black arrow. As you drag, when the cursor is above the grey horizontal line, the black arrow points right, meaning you're performing an "insert" edit, which moves everything else to the right in the timeline. If the cursor is below the grey line, the black arrow points down, meaning you're performing an "overwrite" edit, which should leave your audio tracks in place.

  • Mute background track so you can hear video clip sound?

    Using iMovie '11, on a project with mixed stills and video, I want to mute the background music I have added while the video clips are playing so you can hear the audio on the clip and them=n bring the volume back up for the still shots.  I can see how to mute the video, but not in the direction that I want.
    Thanks

    You can use the ducking feature to achieve this. You select your video clip and open the Inspector to the Audio Tab. Then apply ducking. Ducking will diminish all other clips except this one by the percentage that you specify.
    Good Tutorial Here.

  • Is it possible to split an added audio clip (like you can with the video clips)?

    I'm working in iMovie 9.   I've recorded a audio voiceover that I added to my video clips. 
    I want to be able to split the voiceover audio so I can separate the different sentences and move them to where they are appropriate relative to the video.
    With video, this is easily done with shift+command+S.
    I tried selecting the audio track and doing shift+command+S but it doesn't work.
    I can't figure out how to do this.  Is it possible? 

    Thanks for the tip.  Tried it, no go.  Guess 9 is primitive that way.
    I now remember a few years ago having the same problem, and I contacted Apple and suggested they make this possible in future versions of iMovie.   Guess they listened to me! 

  • How to split additional music on a video clip

    Good day,
    I'm designing a project, with both photos where I sometimes add my voice and video clips where I want to keep the original sound.
    I want to add music on every photo part, but none on every clip part.
    I did not find a way to cut an additional music and move it to the beginning of the next photo sequence.
    For instance, let's assume thet the project begins with a 25 seconds pictures sequence, the a first video clip, then a 30 seconds photos sequence and finally a second video clip ; what I want to do is add one music file, play the beginning of the music with the first sequence, then cut the music and move the cut part to the photo sequence, then to do the same with the other photo sequence, in order to have no music added to the video clip. Consequently, the music will be split in 2 parts (it could be more).
    Does anybody have any idea about the way to proceed?
    Thank you.
    Claude

    You should be dropping it below the timeline but it looks as though you may be using music in a strange format.
    Exactly what type is the music?

  • 9.0.3 update loads old video clips into Movies folder

    When I updated to 9.0.3, the first launch showed iTunes adding dozens of video clips from a random folder on my external hard drive full of Final Cut Pro and iMovie projects.
    I clicked stop, but then it just went to another dialog box with a greyed out cancel and search button. The X to the right of the iTunes progress window does stop the process either.
    The problem is that I have gigs of FCP projects that I don't need imported to my iTunes folder.
    How to I stop iTunes form doing this?

    UPDATE: I let it add all my iMovie and FCP clips from an external drive connected to the Mini and then I deleted them from iTunes. It did not try to add them when I quit and relaunched iTunes.
    Same problem different Mac: If I option/open the same iTunes library with my Macbookpro, iTunes 9.0.3 tries to add all the iMovie and FCP clips again from the external drive that is only connected to the Mac Mini.

  • I added background music to the video clip, but I only hear noise, no video clip audio or the background music audio

    I added background music to the video clip in iMovie, the playback runs ok on the right corner preview screen, if I share it to movie clip or itunes or theather, I only hear noise, no video clip audio or the music audio
    If I don't put additional audio to the clip. audio effect or music background, the video plays normally
    I detached the audio from the video clip and deleted it, that way it was possible to listen to the music background and see the actual video clip, but no audio from the video clip.
    How can I have both?

    Hi
    My first thought is -
    Where are the original Audio file ?
    If it was on an Audio-CD then the CD is Ejected and one tries to play the movie - it can not find it = Silence.
    You are using an Non-Destructive Video editor - meaning that You have raw material - Video, Audio and photos but no Movie in Project - only a text document directing How You want it to be played. So if Audio is not where it was when this document were created - iMovie can not find it and e.g. audio goes silent.

  • Whats the best way to import video clips from FCP into a personal template

    Hey all, I'm doing some tests. I see some color shifting going on when I export out of FCP using QT conversion (same settings as sequence), Importing into Motion, then adding lower third graphics, then exporting out of Motion .... and finally back to FCP. I put the new graphic added layer on top and have the original on bottom. I toggle the monitor on both layers and see a slight saturation drop on the graphic layer. Has anyone noticed that ?
    The reason Im doing this is because lets say I have lower thirds that I want to place throughout a hour show. I want to set-up a basic lower third template and just plug in the video clips for the areas that I need those graphics. It would be way to difficult to export out of the timeline in FCP
    and rebuild those lower thirds everytime in Motion. Does anyone know of a better way or does everyone have to export out to the desktop and then into Motion every time they want to use a Motion template.
    Thanks to any replies.

    Try roundtripping from FCP to Motion and back using Send to Motion. In FCP, Control Click your clip>Send To>Motion Project. The clip will open in Motion with the proper project properties. Make your edits there, press Save, and then render back in FCP. No exporting necessary, although you might see a gamma shift. Much easier.
    To do this with an existing Motion template, I'd try copying and pasting in that template's contents once you've sent to Motion from FCP.

  • Added a Song...How do I fade the song in the middle of a video clip?

    I have a 5 minute video of my daughters first birthday. I added a song, but I want to accomplish the following:
    Start the song 15 seconds into the video (after we sing happy birthday)
    Fade the Audio roughly 2 minutes into the video so that I can highlight my older daughters voice
    In between all of this I want to detach the background noise/talking from the video so only the song is heard.
    There are only a few clips of the video that I want the voices to be heard, other than that, I just want the song to be the only audio.
    Help???

    Yes, you can do this.
    1) Drag the song and drop it on the video clip at the point (15 seconds) where you want it to start. You drop it on top of the video clip - not in the background.
    2) You will want to isolate the clips where you want your daughter's voice to be heard. If they are already separate clips, this is easy. But if they are part of one long clip, you can select the frames that you want to isolate by dragging with your mouse. A yellow border should be around these frames. Then EDIT/SPLIT CLIP. Or right-click/Split Clip. (Note: It is important to do this in the Project, not in the Event)
    3) Once you have Split the clip, you can open the audio inspector and turn the volume down on those video clips where you want the clips to be muted. Turn the audio down to zero. For those clips where you want your daughter's voice to be heard, select the clip. Go to the Audio tab of the inspector, and turn on Ducking. Ducking will diminish all other tracks by the percentage you specify.
    4) [This Video Tutorial|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/imovie08.html#audioclips] is a good explanation of audio in iMovie. It is for iMovie 08, but most of it still apples in iMovie 09.

  • Problems adding logo or custom type to video clips - the result is fuzzy

    Greetings! I'm new to iMovie (using '11) and am attempting to add my logo to video clips before uploading them to VIMEO. I have watched two tutorials, so I know the mechanics. In Photoshop I put my logo on a transparent background, added my web address below it with the type tool, sized it to 175x85px @ 72ppi, and used PS's Save for Web option, saving it as a PNG file to my desktop. I dragged my black logo onto a video clip in iMovie, but what I see is a badly out-of-focus logo over the video. I've tried multiple times and get the same result. So how do I make it look crisp? I've got a screen shot if you need to see it. Please Help! thanks, tom

    no such thing as dot-per-inch in video - video has same res on any sized screen.
    your Project has 1920x1080 pixel ... try this res.

  • I'm a new user and learning, I bought and installed Premiere Pro cs6.  I got a nice video clip but has a baby cried in the background and very annoying.  My question is, is this noise remover is separate from the cs6 or I need to get this software downloa

    I'm a new user and learning, I bought and installed Premiere Pro cs6.  I got a nice video clip but has a baby cried in the background and very annoying.  I have tried all of the sounds in Prem cs6 but didn't work. My question is, do I need to get a separate sound software download and install to be able to use it?

    In the CS versions, there was some audio capability in PrPro but you needed to get a separate audio program for major work. Lessening a baby definitely qualifies as major work. That's lessening, i dont mean eliminating. Adobe's audio program is Audition. There are others "out there'. In the CC versions one just downloads Audution also.

  • HT4640 Adding a video clip to a keynote presentation - do I have to keep the original video on the camera roll?

    I have several keynote presentations that are missing their video clips.  Does the original video clip need to stay on the camera roll after you embed it in the presentation?  I thought not, because when you add a video, a message comes up saying "compressing video" before it gets added.  That made me think that a special compressed version of the original video is made and saved along with the presentation.  I've tried testing this by creating a new presentation, adding a video clip to it and then deleting the original video from the camera roll and the video clip in the presentation was not affected.  You'd think if the clip were linked to a presentation, that iOS would warn you before you delete it from the camera roll.  But I can't think of any other reason why the clips would suddenly be missing from all my keynote presentations.

    You can do this with iMovie '06, but not with iMovie '08. You should have iMovie '06 still on your hard disk if you upgraded from iLife '06, or you can download it for free from Apple. Under Editing -> Video Effects, you will find the Fast/Slow/Reverse effect that will do this.

  • Adding noise and grain to video clips is pixelating other clips when exporting

    Hi there,
    I've been adding some of the digital noise effect to certain video clips in my timeline. It looks fine when I playback in Premiere Pro but for some reason when I export to H.264, 1080p it pixelates the clips before and after the ones with the effect on them. Any idea what I can do to stop this happening?   

    OK, so, sorry to go over this again but if you
    1. Put an in and out marker in the timeline a few seconds before the effected clip and a few seconds after the effected clip
    2. Export this small section as, say, ProRes
    3. Re-import the ProRes clip you just made
    4. Use this prores clip to replace the weirdo effected clip on your timeline (trimming off the few seconds either end which were there just so you got your whole clip frame to frame)
    5. Export the whole thing again
    The clips before and after the replaced clip are still pixelating?
    Also, what is the plug-in? Is it the Red Giant one?

  • Can I insert separate still images as background to a video clip?

    Hi! I'm fairly new to video editing. Can someone tell me if it is possible to edit a video using Final Cur Pro X to include whatever images I want as the background to a person singing in a video clip? If so, how? Thanks!

    read the advices for the several options of 'Keying'(luma, color, …)  in the Manual:

    btw: green-screen is drop-dead-simple in FCPX, for a school project we're using the worst green screen ever (un-even, shrinkles, bad/no lighting, diff. greens etc) - and it's working like marvel!
