Adding things in the video

Is there some way to add like arrows or something and other text besides Titles, like for example, having a video that would have an arrow pointing at someone and text saying who it is, or a speech bubble on top of someone's head?

have a look at the 'usual suspects' for plug-ins ...
www.imovieplugins.com
.. offers pic-in-pic plug ins, to add any handpainted picture to a video
www.geethree.com
... offers with its many Slick Modules more elaborated (.. therefore $$) plug-ins, e.g. to add 'toon style' bubbles, arrows, even moving drawings (whiteboard), whatever ...
www.stupendous-software.com
.. is another supplier, but me no hands-on with these products .. :-/

Added photos to the video timeline but they don't display.

I have added some photos to the video timeline but they don't display. The end of the last clip is frozen and then the next clip starts once the time for the photo display has elapsed.
A previous photo that I'd inserted in the project previously DOES run correctly. I suspect it may be to do with the fact that I've used cutaways in part of the video. However, where I'm inserting the photos is not in a section where there is an existing cutaway.

It would appear that it's a bug with iMovie. It won't let me add new photos to the duplicated project, but it WILL let me add them to the original project.
After searching the Discussion forums, it would appear that it has affected other users; some have used 'workarounds', but the solution doesn't always work for all. Hope Apple can address it.

Adobe Premiere Basics Creating Video Publishing and Adding advertisments within the video.

Hi I am new to Adobe Premiere and have some basic questions I have a video that I would like to mix sound into and also add a flash advertisment in but am having problems previewing the movie in perfect quality. For example, when I drag my imported video in, the movie gets much smaller when I preview it. Even after I get some of the sequences finished and I export it, the video looks small.
I think this is something in the publishing or importing features that I don't know of, basically how do I work on my video and create parts to it while keeping the quality of the video 100%
My second question is, I have created a simple fade in fade out advertisment that I would like to go in the bottom right part of the video, how do i position it exactly there?
thanks pros!

HT1657 Cannot find or download a rented movie. It keeps telling me to go to "Downloads" to manage, but there is no such thing in the video app or on iTunes. I think I just ****** away my money. No wonder Apple is so profitable.

iTunes is a complete train wreck. Done trying to do anything on the store. waste of time AND money.

Hey there rtetley,
It sounds like you were unable to watch your rental and you cannot find it to download it and watch it in the iTunes App or the Video app. I recommend reporting the problem to the iTunes Store support team directly with the following article:

IMovie 08: Adding titles has distorted the video

I just upgraded to iMovie '08 from iMovie HD (mid project, bad idea!). I can live with the lack of features in '08 (for now) but can't figure out why something as simple as adding a title is causing the video to choke.
Everywhere I have added a title, the video gets "jerky" and out of sync with the audio on playback. Once the title dissolves, the video and audio return to normal. It doesn't seem to matter which title I use, whether I use the default font settings or change them.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks!

If you REALLY like iMovie '08, you can add chapter markers in GarageBand(!).

Adding Markers with the * key

Hello All,
In the past I was able to add a marker to a layer in real time with the * key on the numeric key pad. Today when I was trying to do it, everytime I hit the * key the composition stopped and no marker was added. Only when the comp was in stop mode would a marker add onto the layer.
What am I doing wrong.
The only thing that I know has changed is that I recently up graded my operating system to Mac OS 10.6.5
Thanks in Advance
I'm Using CS4

Hello again Dave, I can add markers to a layer when only the audio is playing (by pressing . on the key pad) and the play head is moving I could do this with the Open gL on or off). The markers show up after once it is stopped---- but I cannot add marker when the video is playing. I may have been confused to think that in the past I was adding markers while the video was playing.
In any event it would be nice to be able to add markers while the video is playing.
Can you add markers to the layer or the time ruler while the video is Playing?
Thank Again

Is there any way to cut audio while keeping the video it is tied to?

ok, I have a video from a dvd i burned on FCE but the sound is messed up. I am going to be making a AMV with it anyway so I don't really need the audio. Is there any way of cutting the audio without disturbing the video it was imported with. I must stress that they were not imported separately.

Place the footage in the timeline. Click the lock key on the vidoe time line. This will place a screen looking thing over the video. Select the audio in the time line and press delete. That will delete the audio but keep the video. Then unclick the lock key and all should be well. Always remeber the "undo" option if you mess up. I use it all the time.

How can I get rid of the transition that I added in and the Black thing around the footage?

I added a transition between videos but how can I delete it and there's a black thing around the footage? It is really brothering me when doing cuts.

Select the shelf and use Shift-Cmd-G to break apart. You will lose the black thing and the transitions.

I'm editing a video in imovie '08 and adding iphotos to the movie, but some of the photos are not showing. Help

I'm editing the video of a presentation one of my clients has delivered, I'm adding the slides of the presentation in as photos from iphoto, the problem is that some of the photos are now showing up in the video even though they have been added. Also where photo number 7 should be it is showing photo number 12? I really need to sort this out and need help. How do I get the photos to show and show properly in the right place?
Thank you in advance

I've got a list of things to look at and tryout to see if we can narrow down what's happening. Try any one in any particular order see if the problem keeps happening.
1. What format are the original photos in?
Are the all the same?
If they are different, do some work and others do not?
File formats that are “raw” may be a problem.
File size may also be a problem if they are very large files.
2. Duplicate the project in the Project Library
Try dragging a photo into that copy of the project
Any differences? If you can import photos into the Duplicate, try copying then pasting into the original and see if the image shows up.
3. Duplicate a picture inside of iPhoto
If you want to have a particular picture and can find it within iPhoto try making a duplicate.
Does it show up in the Photo browser? And can you drag that duplicated picture into the project? What do you see, what result do you get?
4. Clean the iMovie cache
Quit out of iMovie. Then go to your Movies Folder > iMovie Events > Project folder name
Drag the folder "iMovie Thumbnails" to your trash. Then open the folder "iMovie Cache" and drag the file "Cache.plist" to the trash.
This should regenerate any cached thumbnails for the project, may be helpful.
5. Try tossing out the iMovie preferences
Quit iMovie.
Open a Finder window to your user's Home folder>Library >Preferences folder. Find the file named "com.apple.iMovie.plist" or "com.apple.iMovieAppl.plist" and move it to the trash.
Try opening iMovie again, then opening the project and dragging a photo from the Photo Browser into the Project timeline.

I added titles to my iMovie project and when I preview it they show up. But when I Share--I tried downloading onto desktop and also uploading to You Tube, only the video part shows.

I haven't used iMovie in a long time and it's a newer version than I used in the past, so maybe I'm just missing something. I uploaded 2 clips and put both into the project section.
I put in a title at the beginning that I wanted to fade and I added additional titles in a different position to indicate certain things happening in the video. The first title bar appears as a big purple bar below the first clip. The additional ones appear as little purple bars above it. Eventually I wanted to take the big one out but when I deleted it, the video part also disappeared so I kept it but just took out the text.
Then when I dragged the second clip into the work area, it popped into the same line as the big purple bar. I just kept adding little title bars along that and that seemed ok.
When I previewed it all in the upper right box, it seemed to do exactly what I wanted to do. But then when I Shared it, only the second (larger) clip appeared and no titles appeared anywhere.
I'm sure I just put somethings in the wrong place and obviously I don't know all the correct language for projects, events, etc. Have I made any obvious mistakes that are easy (I hope) to fix?
I'm using Maverick and iMovie 10.0.3
Thank you!

Thanks victoryhat. I learned some new things from this very clear tutorial. But it didn't answer my question about why the titles don't stay with the video when I export it.
He did mention something that might be a clue however. When he talked about importing a title he created as an image, he noted that he was careful to make the image the same size as the video he was adding it to: 1280 x 720. Since I took the video with an iPhone in the vertical position, my video image isn't the same size and orientation as the titles.
Maybe there is a way I should be setting the screen for this size??? I'll go back and play around. Meanwhile thanks for alerting me to Gary Rosenzweig's MacMost tutorials. Very clear. I'll look for more.

Hello All...
Back after a brief absence, things look a little bit different.
I'm trying to take a 16 minute mini dv video and compress it for use on the web. I'm interested in any suggestions you may have on settings for the video and audio tracks. I've tried using Sorenson 3 (15 frames, key frames set to automatic, 320 x 240) for video and IMA 4:1 (mono) for audio. The resulting video looked great but the file size came in at about 255 Mb.
Thanks!

Thank you for the replies. Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems. I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work. I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic. When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones. This actually helped. I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems. I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac. I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed. Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else.
If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio.

Restarting videos works and looks like video is getting deleted.

You might want to report that to Apple instead of to the other users in this forum.

Is there a way to make the video I have added to my TOC larger?

I have added a video to my TOC in Captivate and would like to know if there is a way to make it larger? My goal is to have a talking head video play next to and sync with a powerpoint deck. I am able to get the layout how I want it, however, my video (originally 640x480) is showing up very small. I would like to know if there is a way to make the video appear larger.

Afraid not. The TOC video is very limited in size.

I imported a video I make in another program and I played it back in the video editor and I like the pan and zoom that was added by the program how do I save a copy with the effect of Premiere elements 12

I would be glad for the opportunity to customize a Premiere Elements 12 answer to your Premiere Elements 12 issue.
But, I want to make sure that we are together on the details. This is my understanding of what you have written. Please review and let me
know if I am misinterpreting anything that you have written.
You have a video created in Windows Movie Maker.
How did you output the video from Windows Movie Maker...wmv or mp4, what was the frame size and frame rate of that export?
Next you import that video into Premiere Elements 12 (can we assume that this is on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit?)
From what you wrote, you have applied a pan and zoom effect to your video in Premiere Elements.
Now you go to export the Premiere Elements 12 Timeline content with your video with the pan and zoom applied.
But, the pan and zoom effect is not seen in playback of the export.
Is all of the above correct so far?
If so....we are going to need some more details from you...
a. What is the project preset that you or the project are setting to match the properties of the video coming from Movie maker? See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Rate, and Pixel Aspect Ratio even if the fields look grayed out.
b. Are you applying the pan and zoom effect with the Pan and Zoom Tool, fx Effects Presets, or keyframing the Scale (for Zoom) and
Position (for Pan) in the Motion Panel expanded?
c. What are you selecting as your export in Publish+Share/. Please give details...are you using default settings or customizing the export
setting under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of the preset selected?
I am suspecting some sort of mismatch of your project settings or some problems with working with the Pan and Zoom tool. I need
your answers to help me help you. If I have written anything that you do not understand, please let me know. I will re-write if necessary
so that we are in sync to resolve the issue.
Thanks.
