Adding a timer/stopwatch to a clip?

Hello,
I'm doing slalom skateboarding and have recorded many of the races. I was wondering if there's a way to add a stopwatch (preferably digital and to the hundredth of a second) superimposed on clips in iMovie?
It would make them much more valuable for training if I knew the exact time I was at any given point.
Of course I know I could do it but I guess what I'm asking is is there a cheap way of doing it?
Thanks!

Hi Joel,
the usual suspects as www.geethree.com (very advanced ones=$$$) or www.imovieplugins.com (5$ for http://imovieplugins.com/plugs/timer.html) offer different versions of superimposed "stop watches", have a search there...
but you should ask first about compatibility with iM6!!
besides:
video records just every 1/30th of second a frame... so, a precision of a hundredth of second looks good, but is just fake...

Adding a time stamp

How do I add a time stamp to video clips using the date and time the video was taken?

GreenRoom
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running.
Premiere Elements (any version) does not have a built in feature for "adding a time stamp".
What you can do is use the DVDate Plug-in for Premiere Elements for that task. Please see
http://dvdate.ru/
Please read details of the DVDate Plug-in in Item 0014 of my Premiere Elements 12 Daily Discovery blog post
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: Premiere Elements 12 Daily Discoveries
We will be looking forward to news of the outcome.
Thank you.

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 ?

How do I stretch (or compress) the viewing time of a video clip in Elements 12?

How do I stretch (or compress) the viewing time of a video clip in Elements 12?

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? For now, assumed Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
Typically, if you increase the length of a video clip, you will create slow motion. If you decrease the length of a video clip, you will create fast motion effect.
You can right click the clip on the Timeline, select Time Stretch, and use the Time Stretch dialog's settings to change the video duration.
See the Adobe document/section on Set Duration of Clip
Adobe Premiere Elements 11 * Changing clip speed and duration

ITunes added extra time to a track

iTunes added extra time to a track after transferring the song from my computer. What do I do to to transfer the song correctly and remove the extra (several minutes) of dead air that iTunes added to the end of the track?

Well....
First of all, let me confirm exactly what you are doing.
I notice you say iTunes is not recognising the change. So when you play the song in iTunes, it does not stop at the new time you've entered, is this correct? Or
is it playing okay in iTunes, but not on your iPod? If this is what's happening, you have Synced your iPod after the change, haven't you? (Any changes you make in iTunes while the iPod is connected to iTunes will almost certainly not be activated on the iPod until you do another Sync.)
(If you manually manage the music on your iPod, you will need to remove the track from the iPod and then put it back on again. Putting it back on should cause the newly revised stop time to be on your iPod.)
So if your stop time is shown (in iTunes) as 2:52, but the track is not stopping at that time - in iTunes - then I suggest you do a repair of iTunes. To repair iTunes, download iTunes and go through the instal procedure. (Do not delete or remove the existing iTunes.) Once the instal procedure sees the existing iTunes, you should see an option to either repair or start new, choose the repair option.
I've had to use the repair iTunes option myself, a few weeks ago, and it fixed the issue I was having. Can't remember what the issue was though!
Finally, if the track plays okay in iTunes but not on the iPod after a new Sync, the only thing I can suggest is a Restore of your iPod. This will remove everything from the iPod and the next Sync put back what it finds in your library. If you manually manage, you will need to put everything back on yourself.

Possible to insert a countdown timer into an iMovie clip?

I'm making an exercise video, and I want to insert an occasional small clip with a countdown timer. Ideally, it would be some beautiful nature footage (like waterfalls or wildlife), with a countdown timer in the corner.
Does anydbody know how to insert a countdown timer into an iMovie clip?
For that matter, does anybody know where I could find/purchase 2 minutes of nature footage?

Sure you can. What you need to do is add the initial image to the topic then create an image map. This allows you to define shapes that when the user's mouse hovers over it indicates that there is a hyperlinkto another topic. Just right click on the image, select Insert Image Map and go from there.

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

Use more than one transition in the same time between two video clips?

Dear Premiere Pro programmers,
Could you please create a way to use more than one transition in the same time between two video clips without exporting to media, or creating new sequence, or using another layer (adjustment or transparent)?

Hi Aqsa Nori,
I'm not sure what you are imagining, but it might be possible to achieve by key framing effects. Can you tell us what you want to do? Also, please feel free to file a feature request: http://adobe.ly/feature_request

I have to render every time i move a clip!

i am a musician and im trying to use fcp to edit my videos to match my final product with my mp3 final project audio from garage band. i recorded in photobooth and recorded at the same time as garage band using my condenser mic for better audio. i changed my files to pro res 422, but every time i move any clip some portion needs to be re rendered, ive set the sequence to pro res 422 but i still cant figure out whats going on. i have a drum, piano, vocal, guitar videos that all match to the audio but i cant really do much when it takes 14 minutes to render a 3 minute clip.
this is what it looks like.

Your problem stems from the video recording software you used. The clips in your browser are all showing as frame rates ranging from 9fps to 11fps. But your sequence is 29.97. FCP is trying to stretch those video files out to match the sequence frame rate, but it requires rendering to do so.
Some video capture programs produce videos that are in some way incompatible with FCP because FCP reads the fps wrong. Snapz Pro is one, there are probably others. If you actually recorded the files in 29.97, then you need to run them through compressor to make them FCP compatible. Choose a pro res preset, but make sure that in the video settings that 29.97 is selected (and not "current").

Is there a way to apply Time Remapping to multiple clips simultaneously?

Is there a way to apply Time Remapping to multiple clips simultaneously? I'd like to uniformly speed up and slow down two different clips that are playing in a picture-in-picture setup. I’m hoping there’s a more elegant way to sync them up than just editing their Time Remapping functions individually (I already tried using an Adjustment Layer. It didn’t work).

you can try nesting the two clips together, then control the time remapping of the nest.

Every time I drag a clip into the events library Final Cut Pro X crashes.

Every time I drag a clip into the events library Final Cut Pro X crashes. The import appears to have occured successfully despite the crash as it is in the folder when I reopen FCPX. But having to restart the program every time I import is annoying and suggests the program is deficient. The only imports I have tried so far are from iMovie, its sister program.

Have you tried dumping the preferences file, always my first item when issues arise in the FC family. Second, have you tried different file types? It could be a file issue, FCX not recognizing it (letting you import, but throwing up afterwards).

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.
