Can't change clip duration Motion 5

I have tried all of the work arounds I have been able to find in the Support Commnity and still I can't change the duration of source clips in Motion 5.  I have trashed plist, rebooted, repaired permisions, changed timing of project, changed name of clip, used the Timeline clock instead of the Instpector window.  Cleared all In / Out points and reset them to slightly different values. I have changed Timing to Variable and back again.  I can open clips in a new project and change duration.  I have opened new project and copied some layers from working project, the problem persists.  Is reinstall the option left available to me?

BenB,
The specifics: Motion 5.0.4 Timeline is set to 6 minutes, the Media is 5:59;21 (QT,mp4, H264,1280x720, 24fps). Imported via File Browser into Layer Group (Group In / Out points are 0 and 6 mins, as is Play Range).  At one time the clip was in it's full duration.  Afterr a crash / restart it is only 01:52;27.  I can not Drag the clip to its full length. I cannot change it's duration thru the Inspector, not the Timeline Clock. 
In an effort to isolate the issue I opened a new Project (same time setttings as original Project, imported the clip, which plays to it's full duration, and then, one at a time, copied and pasted all Filters and Parameters and Objects from the original Project; all play fine.  Then I copied the original Layer Group in it's entirety to the Test Project, and the clip is still limited to 01:52;27.  I then used Replace Media to select a random clips (same format) with varying Duration (all longer than 01:52;27) and got the same result every time; Duraton 01:52;27. Not one element of the Test Project has an In / Out set to anything other than the full Duration of the Project.

  • How can I change the duration for all clips in iMovie 10.2

    How can I change the duration for all clips in iMovie 10.2?  I'm used to working in the older version of iMovie where all I had to do was click on the gear on the clip and change the duration. ALso could use the tool bar to set the duration for all clips. Can't figure out how to do that in this new version. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    In the timeline select the clip whose duration you want to change. Click the adjust button at the top of the viewer and then click the i button and you can set the duration. For multiple clips select them all and in the i button type in the duration you want and it will be applied to all the selected clips. You can also change the duration of a clip in the timeline by putting the cursor over the beginning or end of a clip and dragging. A popup will show the new duration.

  • On iMovie 10.0.7 how can I change the duration of all of my photos in the project at once?

    On iMovie 10.0.7 how can I change the duration of all of my photos in the project at once?

    You can set the default duration of stills but you have to do it before you start the project. 
    iMovie is not really suitable for stop motion videos and iMovie 10 is worse than iMovie 9 because the minimum still duration is not really controllable as you have found.   I don't have experience of making such videos but there are 3rd party apps which appear more suited to this, for example http://www.macworld.com/article/1146623/stop_motion_Mac.html
    mentions some of them, though its a bit old and you may be able to find more up to date information.

  • Can't fully change clip duration...

    Hello all
    My students and I are doing a claymation type project and I am having some difficulty changing the clip durations once I've imported the photos into iMovie. I can get them in and changed down to 0:00:14 but not any shorter. I should be able to set them as fast as 0:00:03... If I change the clips individually, I can set them to 0:00:03, but if I try to change more than one at a time, the lowest is 0:00:14. With 500 odd photos for each group, changing the length one clip at a time isn't really a feasible option. Any suggestions?

    Yes, the pics have to be in the Timeline before they can be adjusted.
    Great that it's now working for you. As a retired teacher myself, I know what it feels like when things don't work as they should, and you have a disgruntled class breathing down your neck! Good luck with the project - sounds interesting.
    Here's an explanation of PAL and NTSC:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAL
    They are Television Broadcasting formats - your part of the world uses NTSC, many other parts use PAL, and some others eg France uses SECAM. They use differing frame rates, so are largely incompatible with each other.

  • Can no longer access iPhoto from the iMovie camera browser..not working. Also the Inspector tool not working properly. Cannot change clip duration.

    How can I fix the INSPECTOR Tool?   Clip duration is not working properly, it is very erratic.  You type a number and a different one comes up on the clip.
    Suddenly the iPhoto Camera browser in iMovie is not working properly either.  Can not access my iPhotos to include them in iMovie project.

    Have you tried this?
    From the "HOME" screen, go to "SETTINGS > PRIVACY > PHOTOS" and see if iMovie is listed in the "PHOTOS" page. If it is, then tap the iMovie switch to "ON"
    Now your Videos & Photos should be accessible in the iMovie App.

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • Problem changing clip duration

    Hello All;
    I am able to increase the duration of individual clips in my timeline but for some reason, I can't decrease the duration (I get a beep and the change doesn't take place). Am I doing something wrong ?
    Thanks.
    Tim

    OK I completely rebooted and it was working for a while but then started to no longer let me decrease the duration. Here are some screen shots.
    The duration of these clips varies but generally about 6:15 seconds to 7 Seconds and I am trying to change all to 6:00 Seconds.
    Here are two ways I tried to change the duration. I am not sure if I can upload photos here so I'm going to provide a link to my server -
    Method #1 -http://www.dedula.net/Picture%201a.png
    Method #2 -http://www.dedula.net/Picture%202a.png
    When I tried method #1, I got the following error message which may be a clue to what's happening here ...http://www.dedula.net/Picture%201.png
    I did not receive any feedback after hitting OK for method #2 - just a beep and it reverted to my previous duration and did not change.
    Any ideas ?

  • Can I set clip durations in iMovie 10.0.7 for Yosemite?

    In earlier versions of iMovie I was able to go to preferences and display the clip durations as described in this link below. I could also see the approximate position of the entire video while it is playing.
    iMovie '11: Display the precise duration of video clips
    I am forced to use the current version of iMovie because the older version no longer works for me. I cannot find a similar option in preferences or anywhere else. Has this wonderful feature been removed from this software. Right now if someone asks me to edit starting at a specific position I cannot do it. I have to play the entire video to find the portion of it that they want removed. I am working with fairly long videos and having this feature would really shorten the time for video editing.

    Hello and thanks for using Apple Support Communities,
    Unfortunately, although iMovie 10 added some great new features and brought a more intuitive user interface, some legacy features were discontinues. Chapter markers are an example. While you cannot add 'chapter' markers, you can still add traditional markers by using the Mark item in the menu bar and then clicking add marker. These will not add chapters, however, and will only allow you to quickly find a spot later in iMovie.
    Sorry about that, but if you recently updated iMovie to version 10 from an older version, it is possible that the older version is still on your Mac. You can search for it using Spotlight, the search icon in the menu bar.

  • How can I change the duration of stills on Final Cut Pro X?

    Hello everyone.
    I need to change the duration of stills and I'm having a hard time doing that. I'm not interested in changing the default setting. The stills need different times, so I need to be able to manually alter the duration of each clip. Does anyone know how to do this?
    Thank you!

  • Change clip duration iMovie

    Changing the duration of a clip in iMovie.  If 4 seconds was there originally and I want to extend it to 6 seconds then it will change to 8 seconds?

    Try setting the frame count to less than that for a full second.

  • Can't Find Clip Duration Button

    I'm a complete newbie at video editing, trying to start learning…
    According to the online tutorial there is supposed to be a clip duration button that appears when the pointer is hovered over a clip that allows one to open a trimming window of some sort. It doesn't come up for me - there is only a hand appearing in place of the pointer.
    How do you make the buttons appear?
    Message was edited by: Donnie Ashworth

    The easiest way is to select the 30 seconds you want by clicking and dragging. Once you have the frames you want selected, you can right-click and choose "Trim to Selection". Be sure to go into Preferences and turn on the Time Codes so you can edit to the specific frame.
    If you prefer to edit using the fine edit window, do the same as above, but leave some extra frames on each end so you can fine edit to the specific frame using the fine editor.
    This video tutorial shows how to do this. I recommend you watch all the video tutorials.

  • How can I send clips to motion?

    for working witt the clip in motion. I don't want to add transition, title etc.
    I just want to send a specific lenght of an clip to work with that in motion, and after that send it back to final cut.

    Round tripping is gone While Apple hopefully goes back and adds the missing features everyone is screaming about, you can just export the section of footage suggested by Tom OR Larwence in this post:

  • Can't change the duration of my move animation in Keynote

    For some reason, when I change the duration of a move animation in a slide, nothing changes. It always animates at the same speed. Anybody has this problem?
    I'm using Keynote 6.1

    you will have countless other problems with this rubbish update,
    What specific issues are you having and someone might be able to help you?
    Keynote 6.1 is stable and works perfectly well for new presentations, continuing to use Keynote 5  for existing projects is a well accepted workflow.
