Advanced editing help please. iMovie 11

Hello all,
I wonder if my problem is beyond the scope of iMovie, but please let me know if it's possible.
A simplified example of what I want to do.
Clip A is 15 seconds long.
Clip B is 5 seconds long.
I want to replace the middle 5 seconds of VIDEO from Clip A while leaving the audio in place. The video will be replaced by the VIDEO from clip B. Audio from Clip B can be lost/disposed of.
This is a technique used very often on TV where you want a continuous sound track - eg music or a song that needs to run continuously. But you want to cut in alternative video.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Should be fairly simple to achieve and probably described here:

  • ATI 3870 Mac edition help please!!!

    I can't get my ATI 3870 Mac & PC edition video card to install any OS previous to 10.5.4 because apple does not support them. Can someone please help me. So far I have figured out I need to take the ATI kexts and put them on the install DVD using Pacifist. I am not sure how to make an installer or anything. Thanks in advanced.

    I agree that the Proadvantage card might be a Mac compatible but the photo is wrong. Other dealers have made that mistake.
    There are actually two Mac Editions of the Radeon HD 3870 being sold at MacSales (OWC):

  • Adobe Digital Editions Help please?

    I have purchased my first e-book: "Adobe Premiere Pro CC Digital Classroom" from JB HiFi. The payment went through successfully and I tried to download the e-book. I got the message that to download the e-book I had to install Adobe Digital Editions. I did this and got the message that it installed successfully and that my e-book was downloaded. When I opened Digital Editions I had two books there: "Getting Started with Digital Editions" which opened correctly and my purchased book "Premiere Pro CC" which would not open. I have been trying since Christmas to get this to work but it will not. I have also tried sending emails to Adobe asking for help and have had no response. Their help line is only open weekdays and I work full time so cannot get to talk to anyone. I use Adobe Light Room extensively, Photoshop a little and I was hoping to use Premiere Pro CC if I can get some help with opening this e-book. Will someone please help me?

    Can you please mentioned Adobe Digital Editions version? The latest version of ADE 4.0.3 is available at, Download | Adobe Digital Editions

  • Editing help please

    Hey I was hoping someone could help with out with a bit of basic editing because I cant find any tutorials on it and I really need to get this piece of work quickly but I am unable to use my computer (sony vegas pro user) so have to make a clip at uni with adobe premier. I want to run two cli[p
    I want to run 2 clips side by side without cropping them with some text above to show the difference between two sites before and after impacts. I just checked and its CS5 version 5.0.3 scully this comp has.
    I will be very grateful for any assistance I get. Cheers

    Ah missed the part: without cropping.
    Then its just a matter of scaling the video's down and position them in the desired place in the Effect Controls.
    If you highlight the word Motion in the Effect Controls and yellow bounding box will appear. Now you can scale down and reposition.

    Hi, Bas
    Thanks again for your help!
    I can't download the patchsets from metalink because I do not have a metalink account. It is impossible for me to buy oracle's products for the reason that I am a student at school. I use oracle just for learning.
    So it seems like that the only way I can go is to use XE. But I still want to ask you if there is another way for me to get the patchsets for db 10.2.0.1.
    I appreciate your help very much.
    Regards!

  • Lite vs. Personal edition, help please

    Hi, I'm trying to get more experience with Oracle. I plan to take some cert. courses next month in Dallas in Oracle. I thought I would 'bone-up' a little. I registered for the Oracle Lite, but someone told me I should download the Oracle Personal Edition. Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the two? Also, the download for the PE is 327mg's, is there any other way to obtain it?
    Thanks.

    Hi, I used Oracle Personal Edition, but I 've never seen Oracle 8i Lite. Anyway I got some informations which will be useful.
    1) P.O. 8 for win98 needs a computer with at least 32 MB of RAM - Oracle 8i Lite just 2MB.
    2) Oracle 8i Lite doesn't support the PL/SQL language.
    That's what I was told.
    Bye

  • Need help with imovie photos extension. I am not able to view the editing tools no matter what I do!!!! Help please ASAP

    I Have read a lot of tutorials or whatever but Im not able to view the editing tools from imovie in the photos app. I have tried the trimmer thing and the yellow outline does appear but the only options available are "play, trim or cancel". I really really want to use the filters and stuff so please help me if you can!
    Thanks!

    Well, everything that you have bought with her Apple ID prior to getting your own Apple ID is forever hers. Apple will not transfer content from one ID to another. But in the case of the Mac, contact iTunes Customer Service and request that they send your issue to the Account Security Team and ask that the Mac be released form your mother's account so you may register it with your account. Then you can accept the iLife apps into your account for any future updates.

  • IMovie 08  v 7.1.1 - Can't export - Error -108 - Help Please!

    Please can anyone help?
    I'm a new Mac user and have just imported and edited my first iMovie. I tried to export it (assuming I could then burn it to a DVD?) but never got that far.
    I'm attempting to export it as a 'large movie' to Finder.
    I get an error telling me it has been 'unable to prepare the movie for publishing due to an error (error code -108)'
    Please has anyone got any ideas if I'm doing something wrong?
    Thanks!
    D

    Looking up error -108, I got a lot of hits on goggle about memory errors returning error -108.
    On this hunch, I simply rebooted my Mac Pro.
    I opened iMovie 7.1.1, and exported the same file, no problem.
    So it must be a memory leak or some sort of memory related issue. (I have 4 gigs of ram in my machine.

  • IMovie Audio Editing help?!!!!?

    hi,
    im trying to edit in iMove, but whenever i add music in the timeline (theres is no video yet) it appears as a little square, that expands as i add video to show waveforms, i want it, when i drop it in, to be a long bar with the waveforms so i can manipulate- just like it appears in final cut pro (i would use FCP but i am very bad with the audio editing in that and i enjoy iMovies simplicity) !! help please on how to do this!!!!

    Add the audio clip AFTER video clip is in Timeline. I don't believe you can add an audio clip in an empty Timeline. I could be wrong, I've never tried it.

  • At the end of my IMovie I want to write some text: as in" Happy Birthday Mandy we had a great time with you. etc..  How do I go about this? Which icon in IMovie lets me have a place to write text?? help please

    Please see my ? above: Im making an IMovie and need the last frame to just be text (can be on a color). I don't know how to go about doing this.  Ive already done all my photos and captions. Need to have it ready for TOMORROW: Friday May 23rd. Help please!
    Thanks

    You can choose a background for the text from Maps and Backgrounds.  Just drag a background to the end of the timeline, adjust to desired duration then drag title above it.

    I made a dumb decision to 'Erase Free Space' on my drive. I now have no free space, I realize because it wrote 0's over all my free space. Is there a way to undo this??? Help please I can't save any documents now! Thanks in advance all, it is truly appreciated. how can find the hidden temporary files using the terminal what do i type in?

    It's more likely a failed Erase Free Space, which creates a huge temporary file; that's why it looks like you have no more available drive space. You can recover from this. See these links

  • How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I have already? Can anyone help, please?

    How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I already have? Can anyone help, please?

    Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
    The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it.  Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
    Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site.  If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side.

  • Snap to beat markers:  I'm using iMovie 11.  Trying to prepare short movie of holiday using 2 or 3 songs and snap to beat feature.  It worked great for first segment/song but I can't seem to get it to work for the second song.  Help please.

    I'm using iMovie to prepare a short holiday video.  Snap to beat markers worked great for the first song but doesn't seem to work when I try to extend my project with a second song and more video and stills.  I dragged in the song and marked the beats but when I bring in stils and video clips they just ignore the beat markers.  Can anyone help please.  Thanks.

    I am having the same issue. The first song and beat markers work great. I add a second song and set beat markers. When I add photos, the appear at random spots with random lengths. I haven't seen a pattern yet. Spent 30 minutes on this topic at my last 1:1 session in the store. No luck figuring it out.
    One work-around might be to create one song per project (so beat markers work), then combine the two (or more) projects. But I'm not sure if that's possible or how to do it.
    Thanks for any help on this.
