Adjust fade duration of titles in iMovie '13?

Hi there, With the new update of iMovie, is it still possible to change the fade in and out duration of titles?? The option is not found in the 'Adjust' pane. Thank you!!

Thanks for the reply guys. It seems really odd the apple have removed simple features from the program! MacRumors are reporting that all parts of iLife and iWork have lost significant features to match their iOS counterparts.... Oh well, guess I'll have to find someone using iMovie '11. Thanks anyway!

Remove fade-ins and fade-outs from titles in iMovie '13?

Hi everyone,
I know we used to use the Inspector to adjust or remove the fades built into titles, but with the new iMovie there is no Inspector and I can't see anywhere to get rid of these **** fades? Does anyone know??

I'm confused.
How is it that this new version of iMovie lacks the most basic ability to adjust text sizes or remove text effects? I'm talking about the ability to just put unmoving, unfading, unflaring, plain-old, simple text of different sizes on the screen. This new version makes it basically impossible to do simple tasks like make subtitles.
For all of its bells and whistles it would be impossible to make a simple, silent black and white film like those people were making over 100 years ago—because the "new" iMovie lacks the ability to do simple intertitles!
I'm talking about white text centered on a black background. In 2014, I can't type white text on a black background and format it. On an Apple product. I can do that on TextEdit, why can't I do that on iMovie 13?
Someone please tell me I'm missing something here.

Can't adjust clip duration of still photos in iMovie '11

Anyone having the same problem? I inserted a still photo in one of my projects in iMovie which has a a clip duration of 5s when added. I clicked the cogwheel icon then chose the inspector to adjust the duration. I've managed to changed it to 3s but after I clicked "Done", the clip duration is still under 5s.
I didn't encountered this problem before in iMovie '10 and I've searched over at Google and found out that many iMovie '11 users have the same dilemma.
Any workaround you can suggest? Thanks!

"problems setting duration for still photos and transitions in iMovie '11"
A number of people have experienced the same problem and written about it on discussions. Lots of difference solutions as well. If you search using the title quoted above, you can read the solution I found. It's more complicated than it should be. I've never had to fiddle as much with duration times for transitions and still photos. Nevertheless, the steps I have described work for me. You will also find the steps another reader offered that may work for you if all of your transitions are set for the same durations and all of the still photos are as well.

When I adjust the duration of a clip or transaction, iMovie automatically adjusts the duration of another clip; how can I shut this feature off?

In iMovie when I adjust the duration of a photo clip or transaction, iMovie automatically changes the duration of another clip; how can I shut this feature off?

Ok, well you won't get a "speed scale" indicator when editing a title clip. You can only adjust duration. Now, is there music attached to the title clip? Are you adjusting the TITLE TEXT box ONLY? Try adjusting the clip BELOW Title Text box 1st, then Title Text clip. Is the Title attached to your own video OR is it one of iMovie's default Titles??

Adjusting the duration of a photo(s) in iMovie

iMovie help says I can adjust the duration of a photo by double-clicking it and changing the number of seconds to display the photo. I do that, as well as click on "Applies to all stills." When I click <Done>, however, the duration doesn't change for any of my photos. If, however, I drag another photo in, ITS duration has the new setting.

The format for time is hh:mm:ss:tenths
Or you can go to iMovie/Preference and select "Display Time as hh:mm:ss:frames" to get more control. (There are 30 frames per second.)
When you type a 4, then depending on the setting above, it thinks you mean 4/10 of a second or 4 frames.
If you want 4 seconds, type 4:00.
For 4 minutes, type 4:00:00, etc.

I keep on adjusting the duration of the IMOVIE clips , and after I have hit DONE and check the clip, it reverts to the original number and not the new duration requested. Any suggestions???

Error -69 suggests a possible problem with the source files on your computer. Check the source disk for errors and backup if you don't already do so. See HT1210: iTunes displays a -69 error when syncing iPod for more details.
The SyncToy backup program is also a good way to identify exactly which files cannot be read. Repeated runs may succed in copying files which won't copy over on the first attempt.
See also Corrupt iPod classic.
It may also help to disable any AV software while syncing or set exclusions on the media folder and the iPod's drive.

I am having issues with adjusting the duration of time for each still frame and transition in imovie 11. Each time that I adjust these times, the app does not accept the change, and automatically enters its own time. Am I doing something wrong?

Have you tried turning off automatic transitions ? Choose file - project properties and follow the dialogue box to change duration with a slider. iMovie also doesn't allow a transition to be more than 50% duration of the clip its attached to. In other words if the clip is 4 seconds the transition cannot be more than 2 seconds and remember that relates to the first clip as the following clip (right side) is pulled back to overlay it.
Does this help. Perhaps you already know this ?

IMovie 11 adjusting photo duration - won't change, various times showing!

H E L P!!!! I have just installed Imovie 11. I am in the finishing stages of a project which HAS TO BE COMPLETED in the next 2 days. I am having grief adjusting the duration for my still photos. I click on the COG - Clip adjustments - change the timing to 08:00 and tick the APPLIES TO ALL STILLS box. The clip won't change and some of them show 12s, some 10s ect. HOW DO I CHANGE THIS?? WHY IS IT SUCH A DRAMA??? I WANT MY STILLS to show for eight seconds only. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME???? THANK YOU

Many people have posted on this issue, including myself. I've spent a lot of hours on problem, and have come up with a solution that allows me to vary both the image duration and the transition duration in my movies.
Here's my process that I have posted before and that I still use:
-> Knowing that (a) I want most of the photos to be visible for 5 seconds and most transitions for 2 seconds and (b) that a transition takes half from the photo before and half from the photo after, under File>Project Properties>Photo Duration I chose 7 seconds - each photo will 'lose' a total of 2 seconds from the transitions in front and behind. I did not check either "Applies to all transitions." or "Applies to all photos." - See below for why.
-> I discovered that all the photos have to go in before I add any transitions. This was new to me. With all previous versions of iMovie I simply added a photo then a transition then another photo one at a time. I had to fiddle with the timing adjustments, but at least I could fiddle. With this new version of iMovie I can't. Once the transition is in place, I cannot change the duration of the photo.
-> Sometimes, I want a longer or shorter duration for a photo. For example, on photos to which I apply the Ken Burns effect, I often want the image on the screen for a slightly longer time. In this case, I have to use the inspector to change the duration before I add the transitions. So I might set the time for 8 seconds; when a two second transition is added before and after, the time for this photo becomes 6 seconds, which is what I want.
-> The same applies if I want a transition to be shorter or longer than 2 seconds. If, for example, I want the duration for a transition to be 1 second, then I have to change the duration on the two linked photos to 5 1/2 seconds.
Right now, I working with batches of 5 or 6 photos at a time. I don't put a transition on the last photo in the batch until I have added the next group of photos. And things get really tricky if I don't like my original design. If I want to change anything, I have to take out all of the transitions linking the photos I want to work on, do the math, make the changes in the photo durations, then put the transitions back.
All of this requires much more prior planning than I am used to with iMovie. I hope it helps those of you who are struggling with this problem.

Batch change clip duration - multiple photos in iMovie 11

Hi everyone,
Many thanks to anyone who can help. I know about clicking on the cogwheel to adjust the duration of a single photo, or to apply to ALL photos, but what I'd like to do is select a group of photos out of all the ones I've already added to my movie, and I'd like to adjust the duration of just those photos. Any ideas??
Again, thanks so much if you can help!
Frizzy

Hi AppleMan1958,
I tried what you suggested to batch-adjust clip length with 'Show Advanced Tools' checked, but under 'Paste Adjustment', there's still no 'Clip Adjustment' option. None of the available options under it (All, Video, Crop, Video Effect, Speed) works.
This problem is very frustrating!
Is there a setting to allow you to change clip lengths and transition as you progress through the slide show? And if you make changes in the middle section of the project, then the part ahead of it simply shunts back and forth, instead of changing clip length and transition duration on its own.
I use a MacBook Pro running OS X and iMovie 11.
Regards,

How do you adjust the duration of audio loop?

How do you adjust the duration of the audio loop that you can setup to play in the main menu?

Your best bet is to bring your audio into DVDSP at the length you need it. You can adjust the menu loop time in the inspector but this also adjusted your video as well. DVDSP is not an editor - only an authoring tool All adjustments need to be made outside the tool.

Can't edit titles in iMovie

I want to edit my theme title in iMovie (v 10.0.02) so that I can put the text on more than one line but the options are all greyed out
I've read the help section on this (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2212) but I don't have the ability to click on the font, size, alignment etc tools. I can see them, they are just completely unclickable.
Any ideas?

Hi ivdemark,
If you see above, I read the iMovie support.
It says that the titles that you can't edit are in gold, while the titles you can edit are in blue. This title is in blue.
The options are there, they are just greyed out.
Below is a full screen shot. Does this help show the issue?

Titles Make iMovie Freeze

I'm having a problem with adding Titles. Everytime I click on the Titles button iMovie freezes. I cannot add titles at all. Transitions, Video FX etc. work great, but for some reason every time I try to add a title, iMovie will freeze. I have plenty of hardrive space. I dont get it. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Alex

Hi Alex
There can be so much:
• low free space on internal hard disk gets the Mac to be spooky.
< 5Gb and even Mac OS alone get's into trouble
5-10Gb might work but slow and unstable
25Gb my set up
• Tidying up helps from time to time. I would.
- delete the iMovie pref file
- run: Repair permissions (Apple Disk Util tool)
- start from another hard disk or CD/DVD then
run: Repair hard disk (Apple Disk Util tool)
- start a new account and log into this and re-try.
• Did You add some "smart nice plug-ins" - move them out and see if
iMovie starts to behave.
To start with.
Ops ! YES Lennart nailed an important one too. Very so ! FONTS !!

How to adjust audio duration/speed over time?

I watched a video on how to adjust video duration/speed over time, using time remapping and keyframes, but it does not seem to affect audio for some reason. Is there a way to adjust the speed/duration of audio over time like you can with video?

Oh you need to do it in AE? That's... kinda.. unneeded but okay. Thanks!

How to speed up Focus title in iMovie? (READ DESCRIPTION)

I tried to speed up the Focus title in iMovie by making it shorter, but it maintained the same speed while being cut off before the text actually formed. I cannot speed up the actual clip itself, when I click Command+R nothing happens. Are there any other solutions?

Hi Joshua,
thanks a lot for your answer!
The reason why I don't use hardware triggering is the following: I want to acquire data when an external trigger line goes low and stop acquiring when the line goes high. But I want to do this for 30 consecutive triggers, and I want to be able to distinguish between every of the 30 "shots". I did not find a hardware trigger solution for that problem, so I tried the conditional retrieval option.
After your hint I wrote a vi which reads the buffer without conditional retrieval. The triggering is done with normal labview code based on the Array_Threshold.vi. This method is surprisingly fast and works fine!
Nevertheless, if you have some idea for the hardware triggering, please let me know!
Many greetings,
Tobias
