Can't Adjust clips over :29

Hi!
So I'm editing to a piece of music, and as I'm trying to match the clip lengths to the beats, specifically going for :31, everything I input gets automatically changed to 1:00 or :29. Is it my imagination or is the program incapable of timing anything between :30-:59? The precision editor behaves in exactly the same way. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I tried making the clip longer but it didn't solve anything.
Thanks!!
edit: this post attached info about an old computer to this post for some reason- please disregard as I can't seem to remove it. Current machine is macbook pro, mavericks.

I think you are looking at Frame numbers.
For 30 fps it will change from 29 to 1:00 not to 30.
For 25 fps it will go from 24 to 1:00
The equivalent to 31 is 1:01 for 30 fps

  • 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.

  • Can't adjust Clip Settings during capture

    Hi,
    I am capturing Betacam SP footage into FCP 5, using Decklink SP. I have both Video and Audio and checked in the Clip Settings, within Log and Capture. However, it won't let me adjust the values for the waveform (the Hue, etc sliders) and moving the audio gain slider has no effect.
    Coming in from an analog source, I need to adjust my video scopes and raise the audio, however I'm locked out from adjusting anything.
    Any idea why this is?

    No, the device control is set to Decklink's own system.
    I can capture and shuttle the deck, but I have no control over adjusting levels. Which is sort of a hassle.

  • How can I get voice over clips to automatically go into its own folder in CS6

    When I make a voice over clip while in PP CS6, the clip goes into the project folder. I want them to automatically go into the folder that corresponds to the clip I am doing the voice over for, but I can't seem to do this unless I manually move the clip over..

    Thanks for your help here, but I made a mistake in presenting my problem.
    I meant getting them to go into the selected bin, not folder, my mistake. Prior to recording the voice over, I highlight the bin I want the .wav file to go into and when finishing the recording, it goes into the project window, not into the selected bin. The only way I can get it into the bin is to manually move it there.
    Do you know how to solve my problem by having the voice over go into the preselected bin?

  • 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.

  • How can I move clips in my project more accurately? i.e. Less than one frame over left or right?

    Hi there
    I'm trying to sync some video to some audio. I have snapping turned off, yet I cant move a frame left or right any less than one frame.
    Is it not possible to move a frame anyless than one frame left or right? It still SNAPS to one frame left or one frame right.

    As Jon has told you, you CAN NOT adjust video in less than a 1 frame increment.  And I honestly doubt that even if you could, that you'd see the difference in the audio synch.  In the good old days of film editing, it was only possible to adjust the audio synch for 35mm within a 1/4 of a frame (as each frame has 4 perforations) and 16mm within a frame (as each frame has 1 perf). 
    The only way to avoid this problem (if it is a problem) is to genlock the cameras so the timing of each frame matches from camera to camera.

    Solution may be found if you search in the "More Like This" section over in the right column. 
    By camera you mean "iSight" try the suggestions in the article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 and on EZJim's Website.  If no help, post in the iSight forum area. 

  • Is there a way to change the master text length in FCP? The default length is 10 seconds, which is too long. I can easily adjust the length but I don't want to do it each time, and I don't want to adjust one and then have to copy and paste this length.

Ideally, there should be something in User Preferences but there is not. Thanks.

    Maybe some one else can pipe up with a solution, but this would literally take 2 seconds to do for a new project.  And you can create a "template project" that includes this "text" clip.  Save this project and then to a get info and check "stationary pad."  When you double click on this file, fcp will open with a copy of this project and you just need to do a save as. 
    I've been working with computer editing systems for longer than i can remember and at a certain point you just have to adapt your workflow to the limitations of the software.  

  • How can I adjust the length of a note? Please help.

    How can I adjust the length (the sustain time) of a note after I have selected the note? Many thanks.

    Just drag the right end back and forth (mouse over the end of the note - a ] appears) - by holding down ctrlshiftdragging you can change the subdivision into ticks. In the Midi event editor you can do it numerically - just change the numbers displayed in the length section.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Also try restarting the router.
    If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
    If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
    If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

  • Adjusting clip length

    When I try to fine tune the front of a clip in timeline, the blue selection changes to the previous clip and adjusts the end length of the previous clip instead. This happens whether or not I hold down the command key. I'm using iMovie HD. Thanks for any assistance possible!

    This is iMovie '09 Forum, BTW. If you are using iMovie HD (version 6) you might want to post there.
    If you are using iMovie '09 (version 8.0) you can use the Clip Trimmer or the Precision Editor, besides the Fine Tune.
    What source are you editing with? How did you shoot your movie?

  • How,can,I,adjust,the,camera,settings,on,my,2009,Mac,to,16:9,format?

    I want to use the camera on my 2009 iMac to shoot some footage for a video project. The project is in 16:9 wide screen. How can I adjust the camera to shoot in this format?

    Thanks for letting us know your questions was answered!  A few other thoughts....
    RobertofLadywellVillage wrote: ...the video from the i-sight camera is still in 4:3 format so I suppose that it simply can't produce video in  16:9...
    True, the viewed camera image is always 4:3 with your old iMovie 6 HD, but experiment a bit.
    Some of the iMovie 6 video formats you can select when you create your iSight clips in the separate iSight project can create a 16:9 frame.  That frame will contain your 4:3 iSight image but be filled out to 16:9 with symmetrical black bars on the left and right sides of the image.  These clips will be importable into your widescreen project.  Although the portions recorded on your iSight will contain the black bars that keep the 16:9 aspect ratio you need, you should be able to include both the iSight captured video and your other video clips in the same 16:9 final product.
    If you have a 16:9 digital cameras that can record the clips, use that to get the format you need and better image quality than iSight can provide.
    However, if you really need to record 16:9 iSight video, and if your Mac has QuickTime Player (version 10.x), try using QTX.  After you open a "New Movie Recording" window, QTX can change camera recording aspect ratios by using its Preference controls as shown in this image of the :
    If you really need to use an iSight to capture widescreen video that is not block-filled, another option would be to use a later iMovie version that can record widescreen views of your inbuilt camera. I use iMovie '11 to do this, but, if you don't already have later versions, be sure to check System Requirements for later iMovies before you buy to see if they can work with your Mac OS version.

  • Mp3 clips over 800KB won't play???

    I'm building a website for a musician who wants mp3 clips of her music included so people can listen to music from her new CD. I got it all set up using the video/Quicktime plug-in, and it seemed to be working, but now any clips over about 800KB refuse to play. Should I be using a different plug-in? I have longer clips on another website that work fine, so I'm confused. I'm using GoLive CS3. The website is http://www.lindsayadler.com. Please help!

    Silent Night, at 3.7 MB, is playing fine.
    Can you better describe the problem? What error messages do you get? What browsers are you using?

  • Adjust clip time & date...for real?

    Hello.
    A couple years back I had a HD fail and on it was a few GB of video that wasn't backed up (most of the 500+ GBs were backed up, but a few weren't as it was new video that hadn't gone through the weekly backup script) and thus, when I recovered the drive, the creation date on these videos were all wrong (as they were now the date the files were recovered and not the true creation dates).
    I know the dates these videos were shot though, so I used the "adjust clip time and date" option in iMovie to correct them. But, I didn't realize that iMovie didn't really correct the dates in the file, but rather must just reference a revised date somewhere within the program. Like I said, I didn't realize this...until this weekend when I moved (via iMovie) the 500+ GB of videos to a new, larger HD. Now, all of these videos have reverted back to the "creation date" with regards to the events they're now in, and when i inspect the files in Finder, I can see the creation dates are wrong (ie. they're the date they were recovered, not the date I corrected in iMovie).
    So, instead of wasting my time correcting again via iMovie, only to have to do it again and again and again every time I move my library locations, I'm wondering if anyone knows a program that can correct the timestamp on video files? I know there are programs that can do this for photos, but I'm unable to find one for dealing with videos?
    Thanks!
    Kristin.

    It depends. If you have not already started using these clips in Projects, you can create a permanent date change by renaming the clips. This has the advantage that you can see the date and time metadata as you skim the clip in either the project or the event. But if you are already using these clips in projects, renaming them would cause you to get the yellow warning flag that the link to your clip has been lost. To do it this way, rename your clip as clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss.ext where ext is the same as the current extension.
    If you need to keep the same name, A Better Finder Attributes is a good program for dating files. I have found an issue with Snow Leopard (last time I checked - may have been fixed). The issue is that Snow Leopard will not let you change the attributes illogically. I can't remember the specifics, but for example, the creation date cannot be before the drive was manufactured - that kind of thing. Snow Leopard will not let me date a file in the 1950's. It changes it back every time.
