Adding a second title to a clip

I've attached a centered multiple to the first clip successfully. However I now want to attach additional text to other clips throughout the movie but when I click and drag, it won't take to the clip. The + symbol shows when dragged over the clip but no joy. Any ideas?

Ric - If you have inserted transitions between clips, the title will not "take". You'll need to either remove the transition or split the clip (as described in my previous post). The transition can be added again after the title renders.
As you have probably noticed, when placing the title in the timeline, if you drag over the clip it will move to the right to allow insertion of the title. My last post wasn't clear about that - you don't have to drag to the exact division between clips (I had forgotten that the clip moved sideways when hovering OVER it).

Adding more than one title to a clip - is this possible?

Hi I have a 30 second clip, for the first five seconds I want to add a title, then for the next five seconds a different title, etc. Sort of like subtitles as the clip runs along.
Is there anyway to do this? Once one title is dropped on the clip, it won't let me drag another on to the clip frustratingly!
Also....is there anyway of getting vids to play produced on imovie 06?

It's a little less than straightforward but not particularly complicated.
Once your title is in your clip you can add a second title to the same clip but im08 seems to want to leave a little gap (won't let me add a second title anywhere in the first 10s ish, so I add it after and slide it along to where I want it once it has dropped into place.
If my clip isn't long enough to give me 10s ish and enough room for a second title, I'll drop the title on a second clip and slide it back to where I want it.
Providing video from im6 is exported in the correct format, im08 will accept it, try exporting as DV or AIC depending on what your source video is.

Adding a title to a clip makes the image pause and not respond correctly.

Hi
I have Imovie running on my Mac book and when I add a title to a clip, the image when pauses (audio continues).
The other error that occurs is that when the title is put in place there is a jump in the audio and video like the clip has been cut and a few frames have been removed or some times added.
Ilife came free with my mac so I cant re install it. Also the new Imovie is not something I'm after. But if the free download comes with all the effects etc then I may consider geting the new Ilife 08.
So whats going on in Imovie 06?
any one?

It may just be that you have insufficient disk space, or are storing your project on an external disk that is not formatted for Apple. It should be Mac OS extended or Mac OS extended (journaled).
IF none of the above apply, for the heck of it try closing iMovie and trashing the Fonts Collections Folder (NOT the Font Book) located in user/Library/Font Collections. When iMovie is relaunched it will create a new Fonts Collection Folder with the info that it needs. Inexplicably, that sometimes resolves these glitches. You could also try removing any duplicate fonts that you find in your Font Book Folder. (They will have a black dot next to them.) Select any with a black dot and then go to the Edit menu and select Resolve Duplicates.
If none of the above works, you can always try closing the iMovie project and then trashing the com.apple.iMovie.plist file located in your User/Library/Preferences folder. When you relaunch iMovie a new iMovie.plist file will be created.
You can repair permissions through the Apple Utility App.
Some of the more experienced tech persons on this forum may have some better suggestions.

Why does adding a title turn the clip into square pixels in cc

I added a still Title to a multicam sequence, and the clip beneath it turned into square pixels.
If this is a problem with Adobe, how can I work around it?

I thought Sony DSR - PD150P, The 'P' at the end signifies PAL?
If there is nothing to worry about, what about when I export the media to DVD PAL UK region? Is there no going to be a conversion from Interlaced to PAL? Would the conversion from interlaced to PAL no mess up the quality or introduce artifacts?

Can't add more than one title over single clip

This is the first time I'm using a clip that is unedited apart from a title card over black at the beginning that dissolves into the clip and a dissolve to a still photo at the end of the clip. So far I have only been able to add three titles: the first over black, the second over the actual clip, and the third over the still photo.
The clip lasts around a minute so I want to add titles as it progresses. For example, the first title can last for 5 seconds, then a gap of 10 secs. and then another title for 5 seconds, etc. Every time I try to drag the title
Every time I try to drag a title into the project, it doesn't "take." Does iMovie not allow a string of titles if there are no edits within the actual clip?
Thanx.

This applies to iMovie 08:
1) It appears that when you drag a photo or a title to a long clip, then by default, it thinks you want a long photo (or title). It seems like it wants to make the photo 25% or more of the length of the clip. This is why it is hard to drag multiple photos to a clip. The last photo you drag is trying to take up 25% plus of the clip, and there may not be room.
I found a good workaround. I added a dummy clip that was 4 seconds long to the end of the project. (This clip to be deleted before sharing the project). When I drag a new photo to the project, I first drag it to the dummy clip. Now the photo has a duration of exactly four seconds, and I can drag it to the place I really want it. It fits now, because it is only four seconds.
2) I confirmed that when you put over 4-5 photos into a single clip, they will start behaving erratically. One will not show up, and another will show up twice.
The solution is to split the long clip into multiple clips. I had a long clip. I split the long clip into 30 second chunks. To do this, I imported the entire clip several times. Then, in the first instance I selected from frames 00:00 to 30:00. In the second clip I selected frames 30:01 to 1:00:00. Then 1:00:01 to 1:30:00. etc. This way, I did not lose any footage, but I had multiple virtual clips, where before there was only one. Now I was able to add multiple photos to each of these shorter clips with no trouble. And I only needed four photos per clip. It worked great.

Adding a second time capsule?

I've reviewed some of he discussion on adding a second Time Machine but two issues arise. The information relates to older Time Machine software and leads to confusion.
I have an Airport Extreme with S/W version 7.6.4 and would like to add a newer Airport Extreme to back up the older one. Reading the suggestions on adding a new TC didn't cover the newer Time Machines and I could find Apple's instructions for doing it.
Somewhere I read that the new TC could be connected to the old TC but forgot the port setup. Also, newer instructions for adding a second TC so both the old and the new acquire the same data could not be found.
Hope This question is clear. Is there help on this?

The network setup is fairly trivial.
Plug TC2 into TC1. (the hardware is Time Capsule.. TC as per your title.. or is it Airport Extreme as per your question..?? Time Machine is software on your computer.. and totally unrelated to the hardware.)
Makes no difference which way around you do it. Plug WAN of the 2nd device into LAN of the 1st device. And setup the 2nd device in bridge.. wireless is up to you.. off or on?? Roaming or not??
As far as backup is concerned.. you need to be clear in the question. And sorry it is a bit mixed up now.
But I can tell you what you cannot do.
You cannot backup to both units at once. You can however setup Time Machine in the computer to backup sequentially to both.
See Q34 http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
The TC itself cannot backup to another TC.
(extreme with hard disk amounts to the same thing.. with caveats)
You can backup one TC to another manually via a computer.. it is slow and I do not recommend it.. if a fault creeps into backup1, you are simply copying said fault to backup2.. AND it is poor for another reason.. Time Machine cannot do it.. you will need another utility eg Carbon Copy Cloner.. and even then you will probably end up backing up a huge amount of data every time.. since TM works so strangely you cannot just backup differences.

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?

Titles cause fluttering clips

When editing an iMovieHD which was originally imported footage into iMovie 4 and adding titles, the underlying clips start to flutter (or roll quickly, like old films out of sync). I tried to figure out if I had inadvertently inserted some "effect", but none to be seen.
Does anyone recognize this?
-Thanks
/Uno

Yes, it certainly proved interesting - and frightening! I don't know how many movies I have now inadvertedly, and in ignorance, converted in either edited or unedited format from iMovie4 into iMovie HD, with similar difficulties lurking. However, the document gave me the clue, and I imported the clips from the iMovie HD contents package into a new project, and both titles and transitions worked properly.
This is time-consuming, though, and had I known about the difficulties I would not have bothered to convert. I am not even sure I took the old iMovie away - does iLife replace it?
Thanks for the advice, Sue!

Adding a jpg title: what dpi?

I am trying to add a title to my clips like the BBC news in the form of imported jpgs, ie with logo and text on background BUT when imported it fills the width of screen and is not terribly sharp. I have experimented with various dpi but with no success. Am using PRE 9 + creating jpgs in CorelDraw. Ideas most welcome.

Technically dpi or ppi doesn't matter, since you're working in onscreen resolution. The only thing that matters is the overall measurement, in pixels. But most people just use 72 ppi anyway.
For a full-screen graphic, use a 640x480 pixel graphic. You can resize it as needed.
Your photos, by the way, aren't going to be terribly sharp no matter what you do. Remember that video resolution is only the equivalent of a 640x480 picture, so you can only get so much detail.
But, once you've added a photo to your video you'll see a red line above the clips on your timeline. Press Enter to render the timeline (the red line will turn green) and you'll at least have a better idea of what your final video output will look like.

On my Mac Pro, when I send emails, it always gives me the option of adding an attachment with a paper clip. Today, the paperclip has vanished. What do I do ?

I can't get my ICloud started. Each time i try to sign in..it indicates that theres a problem with my email apple address but never indicates what. I added a second email but the same result. Have changed my password numerous times...no result?????

I have followed the instruction relating to Icloud connection.When i went to system preferences, my Apple address is continually rejected. I have added a second email as suggusted by an Apple site but i still get the same message. Im not told why the Apple ID/email is not accepted when it is accepted in all other Apple sites. I changed my password numerous times to ensure it wasnt the password but to no result. It continued to state that my Apple ID was the problem. I live in Malta,Europe. Have new Apple Mac Pro and Ipod. The annoying thing is that ICloud continually send me the problem notice but do nothing to tell me how to fix it? Can i switch this notice off? Help???????

Welcome to the Apple community Yao.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I am considering a Apple iMac but would be interested in adding a second monitor. Does it have to be an Apple monitor or can i add any monitor with a thunderbolt cable and DVI or vGA adapter?

I found that the Thunderbolt input accepts the mini-DVI (in my case converter to VGA for a tutorial use monitor)
BUT, you have to really oush it in 'til it clicks. I thought it too loose until I tried it. works just fine!!
i get a solved for my own LOL

Adding a second internal HDD on a Satellite A350-20s

I have a Satellite A350-20s.
It is described in its documentation as having the option to add a second internal 2"5 hdd, and a indeed there is a place reserved for it..
The problem is that when I remove the cover to insert the hdd there is no connector.
So, how to do it ?

Hi buddy,
Well, I have even checked the manual of my Satellite A350 and there you can see that the manual shows second HDD slot. But as Paolo30 wrote installing such a HDD is depending on the HDD controller You can only install such a HDD if you have a second HDD connector.
In my opinion all its ok because the manual doesnt mention that adding a second HDD is possible on every notebook. ;)
By the way: If you need more disk space you can use an external HDD, for example 2.5 one. Such HDDs dont need an additional power supply, you need only an USB cable to connect it. ;)

I added music to a set of clips but want to stop the music there and have no music in the rest of the movie. How do I do that?

there are two ways applying music to an iM project

as 'Background' which offers lots of automatisms, but lil' control
or…

as 'clip' - which can be handled asany other clip, edited, shortened, copy/paste, faded, located, etc
