Can Motion 5 make clips from scratch?

Hi! I currently use iMovie and am saving up to purchase FCP. However, I do have enough to purchase Motion 5. I was wondering if Motion 5 can create clips from scratch that I could use in iMovie?
Like can it create cool graphics such as opening titles or graphics with words, or is it strictly a software used to edit video once it's uploaded from FCP?
Does this make sense? Sorry for any ignorance on my part, btw...I'm pretty new to technology and I just switched to Apple from my PC so I'm still trying to get used to all the technology and terminology lol...
Thanks!

Absolutely!
For a program that costs as little as it does, it has an amazing set of tools in it. Trivially easy to learn to do some things like titles, but with the power to create absolutely amazing motion graphics with full 3D positioning and lighting.
You'll be able to boot it up and make titles within minutes.
It will take you considerably longer to master every tool within Motion 5 though. Not that they're exceedingly difficult, it's just that Motion 5 has a LOT of them.

Can I bring clips from the project timeline to an event library?

Is there a way to bring clips from a project timeline to an event library? I have about 10 jobs that i have in fcp7 that if i can drag the cut up clips on a timeline into and event library it would probably make me switch over completely to FCPX

You can only import cilps into an Event. So it's a non-issue.
You can't drag clips from an FCP 7 Sequence into an FCP X timeline, as far as I know.
You'll want to purchase "7toX". You can export your v.7 project as XML, translate it with 7toX, then import into v.X.

Can I copy clips from one project to another? The clips are still frames captured within a video event.

Can I copy clips from one project to another? The clips are frames saved as stills from a video event. I try the copy & paste but it does not seem to work.

The video was converted into MP4 and then I could get it into iMovie events. I had right clicked and saved farmes as stills. ABout 50 of them, When I tried to copy and paste those stills into another project I couldn't. They came up blank.
I ended up going to a Genius appointment at my APPLE store this afternoon and was told that those "stills" aren't really anything. Not a .jpg or video, so the program doesn't recognize them. So instead I'm using the Project with the 50 stills and copying other .jpgs and video into it. (This is for a 1961 Class Reunion, so it's old stuff). Seems to work so far.
So bottom line seems to be I can use these stills created from a video in the project in which they were created, but no where else. Do you know a way around this?

In iOS 7 you can still make calls from the locked screen. Just swipe the missed call numbers to the right. Is this a bug?

How is it a security breach? You're free to turn off lock screen notifications for the phone app so that no one can do that.... even if they can, they can only call the number that called you... nothing else. (well, except for 900 or whatever the emergency services number is where you are, but that's required by law).

You'll be more likely to get help with this if you ask in the iPhoto forum:

You'll need to tell people what version of iPhoto you have so they can give you correct advice.

! work with Adobe Premiere Elements 10

Bernard Bussemaker
If you really have a 720 x 576 Standard Widescreen Video 16:9 (PAR = 1.4587) and you want a jpg still capture from it using Premiere Elements 10, then I suggest the following:
Premiere Elements 10
Project Preset = PAL DV Widescreen
Place the Timeline Indicator to the frame that you want as a jpg image.
Go to
Share
Computer
Image
and there set Presets = DV PAL SD (it is long story, but you do not have much choice at that level), so
you could experiment with JPEG - HD 1920 x 1080 but no sure how that is going to look going from 720 x 576 to 1920 x 1080, so
Under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset, set
Frame Width 1024 or 1050 pixels
Frame Width 576 pixels
Aspect = Square (1.0)
("or" relates to....if you just want a 16:9 jpg still, then 1024 will do fine. If you want a 16:9 jpg still that will present in a Premiere Elements project to fill the Edit Mode monitor, then 1050.
1024 x 576 is the square pixel version of the non square pixel version 720 x 576 widescreen which is stretched for display after encoding.
Image can resize downward if necessary. More details on that later.)
If the details of what I have suggested are too much, then just try the suggestion step by step and then let us know if it works for you. If any questions or you need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask.
If you are really dealing with a 720 x 576 4:3 standard video, we can go through that next.
But the answers are in the details.
Thanks.

This is driving me crazy. I can't delete clips from the "iPhoto" event within imovie '08. Followed all the instruction,nothing. The 'move rejected clips to trash' in the menu is grayed out. Anybody have any solutions?? Thanks

Delete them in iPhoto. iMovie will not delete material "owned' by another application.

Nope!
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource: International Support Phone #s.

How can I move clips from one library to another? Clips are still in original drive and not in new drive.

I am using iMovie 10.0.7 on a 1-week old iMac 27" running Yosemite 10.10.2. I migrated from iMovie 9 on a 2008 iMac running Snow Leopard and updated the libraries and events, etc.
I have two external drives connected via USB. I want to move / consolidate the library and clips from one of the external drives to the new iMac's 3TB fusion drive. This is to make room on the external drive to run Time Machine backups.
Apple's instructions on managing libraries and moving/copying clips/events tell me to drag to move between libraries and to Option-drag to copy. However, simply dragging only copies. I find that if I Command-drag the events/clips, I can "move" them. But when I look outside iMovie in the Mac OS X Finder, the event folders and clip files themselves are still sitting in the original drive.
I'm very perplexed as to how to really move the clips and event structure. Should I manually copy the clips and event folder structure outside of iMovie? I worry I will mess up iMovie's internal record keeping and folder structure information.
Thanks in advance.

Ahh, Ok. I actually had to go to Lynda.com to watch a training video of this highly bassackwards maneuver, but now I have it. In other words, while the intuitive thing is to make a new event to hold the clip you want and then open the old event and drag the clip into it's new event, the only way to accomplish this maneuver is to NOT create a new event, but rather, go to the clip AFTER the one you want to move, select it and then Right-Click on it and select SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP (or go to FILE>SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP). Then you wait a few seconds while the program thinks a bit (no feedback it is doing this - just a pause) and then it automatically creates a new event with the clip you wanted. Now just double-click the new event and name it something meaningful.
Thanks for your help!
