Adjusting the image of a clip / chapter

I'm burning some clips to a DVD. When I look at the clips in the time line, and when I look at the Chapters in the Chapter list, they're all just blank black images, since that's how the clips all start. How do I make a different image be the "face" (for lack of a better word) of the clip, or the Chapter?
TIA,
Greg

After you have your videos in an iDVD project, you can click on each of the chapters/scenes in the scene selection submenu and change the image to a still image from that chapter.
You use the Inspector to bring up a small window to make your edits. There is a check box to set the still image and a slider that you can move to get to the image you want.
However, if you don't want just the still image, leave the chapter images alone and just choose how long you want each one to loop, and the chapter marker images will play each clip as it sits in the menu. I usually set mine to play for about 20-30 seconds.

Adjust The Duration Of A Clip

I've tried everything I know to try, and I've research all over the internet -- but I can't find anything that tells me how to adjust the length of a clip to match what I want it to be. Here's the deal:
1. I have a 12 second clip that I want to "stretch" to match some music.
2. I've set markers in my timeline at the points I want the video to span.
3. I'm needing to span 15 seconds -- 3 more than the actual footage.
4. The User Guide says to just grab the edge and drag the slip to the length I want, BUT IT WON'T WORK. I can make it less than the 12 seconds, but not more.
The only way I see to get the vid to be the length I want is to keep changing the speed by % increments until it lands as close to my marker as possible. This method totally ***** because it isn't as accurate.
So, how can I drop a clip between 2 markers and make the video span the length?

Tom is right, if you are referring to extending the clip to fit your requirements. If you want to actually have the clip start and end at the same time in your footage, but span a longer length, you MUST change the speed. No other way to do it.

How to adjust the image?

hi i need help on this i have to do a slideshow and once i put the image in drop zone the image won't center i need to adjust the image but i dont know how pls. help me.

hey there Bill & welcome to Discussions.
if you want to play the slide show don't put it in a "Drop Zone", Drop Zones only play on the menu, not as the "feature movie".
select the "i" for the Inspector, & click on the desired drop zone. in the Inspector HUD you'll see some controls for adjusting your image. the inspector also has controls for adjusting music, buttons & bullets, depending on what you select in the Menu Template.
good luck.

Is there a way to adjust the volume on all clips so they all have the same volume?

I'm making a highlight film of my two children, and wonder if there is a way to make all clips have the same volume. I know I can adjust the individual clips decibel niveau, but ven though I adjust them to the same level i.e -6 decibel, the clips volume are not the same. Any suggestion, or do I have to adjust each clip with different decibels niveaus and try to make the volume the same, like one clip can have -6 decibel, one light have 3 decibel and so on in order for the volume to be Aamodt the same.

On the Time Line you can copy the clip (Command-c) that has the levels you want. Select the other clips and hit Shift+Command-V to paste effects. Check the Audio attributes.

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??

Joining/adjusting the properties of multiple clips

In the timeline I have a short video clip I would like to play and then immediately after play it in reverse. I can copy and paste, then reverse the 2nd clip, but now I'd like to change the speed of both of those so that the first starts and the second ends at two audio markers.
Firstly can I make them into one clip, so that I can change the properties?
If not make them into one can I change the properties of both clips at the same time, ie changing the speed/duration?
And then thirdly can I change the speed/duration of it/them to fit to the audio markers without having to mentally work out how many frames they need to last?
Confusing? Hope you can help...

Yes, if you are not concerned about maintaining a timecode link with the original files.
Mark an in point at the start of the first clip and an outpoint at the end of the second (reversed) clip and export the two clips as a quicktime movie.
Once the export completes, import that newly made movie into your project.
Now both clips have been made into one clip.
Edit that imported quicktime on to your timeline, replacing the original clips.
Determine the duration between the two audio markers. Note that duration.
Control-click on the clip you just edited onto the timeline and select Change speed . . .
enter the duration you noted and now the speed will be adjusted to fill that duration.
Hope this helps.

Web Dynpro ABAP - Adjust the image size

Hello experts,
I am loading an image from a file server into an image UI element. This works really fine. The only problem I have is to adjust the display size of the image. I already tried relative sizes with percentages and also absolute settings with pixels. Nothing works the display size always stays the same, I guess it´s the resolution of the image. Did I miss an important setting? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
André

Hey folks,
thanks for your answers. In the meanwhile I could find out that the reason is my nested layout. I tried out some combinations and the image got scaled. So this was the reason.
Cheers,

Adjusting the image denisty

I have had this issue a few times on Photoshop. When Opening a Greyscale or a bitmap image & making adjustment to the density & saturation. The changes are not saved & the image goes back to its original condition right away. I have started this process on the same file as JPEG, PNG & PDF with the same result.

There is no way to control the placement of images when using them as fills. Your best option may be to place the images on the slide directly, size them how you want, and use masks to reveal the part you want, sizing it so that it would fit behind the table cell.

Can you adjust the speed of a clip in iMovie '08?

I know you could adjust make things go in slow-mo, etc. in the older version of iMovie and it looks like iMovie '09 lets you do so. But I can't figure out how to do it in iMovie '08? Any hints?

This feature is not built into iMovie 08. However, you can take a clip and use a third party app like JES Deinterlacer to change the speed. Then reimport the new clip into iMovie.

IMovie won't allow me to adjust the speed of my clips

The option to adjust speed is visible under the Modify tab, but the percentages are "grayed out" (Un-clickable)

Please also contact the developer of the mobile user interface for your email provider.
I could reproduce this with gmail, but in order to better understand, is it that you are unable to download these?

Can't adjust the duration of two clips simultaneously.

When I select two clips, each in different tracks, and try to extend the duration of both by dragging, only one of them moves.
I have read the manual, and looked for an answer online for hours. I must have accidentally changed a setting, but can't find the problem.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

I guess I'm not 100% sure I could do this before. Here is what I'm trying to achieve: In track one I have video. In track two and three I have a lower 3rd and a title. I want the lower and third and title, (thus tracks 2 and 3) to stay up on screen a little longer.
I'd like to avoid having to grab one and drag it, then grab the other and extend it separately.
Thanks for taking the time to help me.

Here's How to change the image on the TOC to be different for each chapter.

Suppose you don't follow the Very Strict default Rule that you use the exact same image parameters (shape, pixels, size, etc.) for your Table of Contents image entry as you use for its associated Chapter, a requirement built in to iBooks Author that applies universally to ALL Chapters under the One Image Size and Location is Best For Everyone rule. Suppose you start adding chapters and messing with each chapter's image and then, later, it occurs to you to get the TOC all set up and when you go there you encounter a mess. Either by chance one of the images you had in one of your chapters found its way to the TOC and, gosh, now every TOC entry for every chapter has the very same exact size and location image! This is not part of your grand plan and then... how to make lemonade here? It's Not Obvious.
You can resolve this in your favor. You must do this patiently.
First, whatever image size is created in any chapter TOC window—by dragging the image placeholder handle re-size box—will apply to ALL image entries (i.e., chapter image entries) in the TOC . If you want maximum flexibility make the image placeholder box big. Hint: you may need to mess with the Edit Mask option in order to get the image placeholder size box in the size and location you want. An option here in preparing your images is to **** with Photoshop or Preview to really engineer the images that will be used for the Chapter Page and, separately, the TOC / these could be the same content images but formatted differently in order to look nice in their respective locations. The Chapter Page image can be manipulated on the Chapter Page. On the other hand, the TOC image must fit within whatever (universal) size you've created.
Plan ahead
Get your TOC images ready.
Loop until done:
a) from the Finder menu, right click on the filename of the image to be put in the TOC / select the menu item “Copy”..this image. This puts the image in the clipboard. Another way to get the image in the clipboard is to pull it up with Preview and pretend to crop it (full size) then command-C. Another way: just click on it if it is in a file somewhere and again command-C.
b) Click on the Table of Contents option (near the top of the left navigation column in ibooks Author ) and navigate to the TOC chapter for this image by clicking on the correct chapter “button” (a white dot in a black background surrounded by a white rounded-corner box) in the center bottom of the TOC chapter window;
c) Click on the image placeholder in this chapter TOC window to reveal the highlight boxes defining the boundary of the image;
d)command-V (paste); Voila! the image is in the TOC. NOTE: dragging the image into the highlighted imagebox (see c) above) will NOT work.
e) mess with the image by clicking the mask editor button so the image fits as desired being careful to move the image only and not resize the image box.
Go back to loop and repeat.

Finally, after a while, I finally found all the procedure explained,

How can I adjust the clip speed in the editing window of Premiere Elements 11?

In former versions of Premiere Elements I could change the function while pushing the corner of a clip in the editing window: it was not cutting only, but I could also use it to adjust the speed of a clip (clicked the clock icon, after that the speed of a clip was adjusted perfectly).
But in Premiere Elements 11 this funktion seems to have gone: Now the timeline in the editing window seems to have the cutting function only!
Yes, I still can use the function "prolong time" (or whatever it is called in English, I use the German version), but in this I just can guess what percentage would fit and it's a very hard "try & error" part to get it right. In the former version the speed was adjusted "automatically" to fit the duration the clip needs – that was way more comfortable.
So, is this function really gone? I couldn't emagine why! Or how is this done now?
Couldn't find any post or video, explaning how to do that now.
No: The new "time zone" feature is not the same: it's not adjusting the needed speed rate automatically.
And by the way: There is a bug in that fuction: When I once added a new time zone, I can't remove it – clicking "set back" (or reset) doesn't do anything, the time zone stays where it is and is not deleted at all! I'm using a Windows 7 Ultimate system (64 bit) ...
I really would appreceate if someone could tell me how to adjust the clip speed perfectly to the needed duration of a clip!
Thanks in advance!

SG
An interesting point that you point out
"However, the drag-to-size method of adjusting Time Stretch has indeed been removed from version 11."
I am assuming that you are referring to an earlier version of Premiere Elements, having a Time Stretch icon (clock icon) above the Timeline to select, and then perhaps, with the mouse cursor, dragging on the end of the video clip to increase its duration. The keyboard shortcut to select the "clock icon" in thar instance is X. If you look at Premiere Elements 11 Edit Menu/Keyboard Customization/Windows/Timeline Window/, you will mysteriously find "Time Stretch Tool" command with a keyboard shortcut X. And, if you look at Premiere Elements 11 Edit Menu/Keyboard Customization/Applications/Time Stretch, you will find "Time Stretch" with a keyboard shortcut Ctrl+R. Bottom line: I have not gotten the keyboard shortcut X to work in Premiere Elements 11 in this regard, but the Ctrl+R does to bring up the Time Stretch dialog to do the job.
In accord with this business of what is and what isn't...the good old Razor Tool. That disappeared from sight a long time ago. Yet users were able to use that in later versions using the keyboard shortcut C. Now for me that "C" does not work to change the mouse cursor to a razor for clip splitting at the Timeline level in Premiere Elements 11 in spite of the fact that Edit Menu/Keyboard Customization/Windows/Timeline Window continues to show Razor Tool command with keyboard shortcut C.
On the good news side of things, if one trims a clip in the Preview Window, one is still able to drag that trimmed clip to the Timeline (Expert view) and drag it out on either of its edges with the mouse cursor to recover the whole clip. And, the mouse cursor is still going to be that red ] with a double edged black horizontal arrow going through it.
