Can't drag photos into timeline

I opened a new project with the widescreen setting and can't load photos onto the timeline. They act like they are loading, show up as a blip on the timeline, then disappear. The same photos work on a standard non widescreen project, but not here. Audio imports fine. Any ideas?

You don't really loose much if anything. You only need to move the in on one and the out on the next 15 frames for a one second transition. Plus the 30 frames are not gone, they are part of the transition and can be seen, depending on the type of transition.

Can't Drag Photos Into Email

I have '09 and use Entourage as my email client. For some reason when I updated to '09 I can't drag photos into an open email.
Not sure if it's an issue with Entourage or iPhoto, but it did work fine prior to my upgrading.
Any suggestions??
Also, aside from beginning an email from iPhoto what is the best way to add pictures to an existing (fwd.) or new email not originated from iPhoto??
Much thanks in advance.

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:

Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Help! can't drag photos into or within imovie

I have a couple hundred pictures in imovie already. everything was working fine, and now I am unable to drag photos into the project. it shows the green line and the plus sign as if its adding it but nothing happens. it has been freezing and i have tried restarting it which worked initially but not anymore. I can add music and videos, just not pictures. I also realized that I cannot drag the photos around within the project now. I have to present this on Monday! I make a slideshow/movie every year and this is a brand new MacBook so I can't believe I am having problems when my old computer worked fine!

I can't drag photos into my sd card in iPhoto

I want to put pictures from my macbook pro into my sd card so i put my sd card into macbook then it shown in iPhoto so i try to drag my photos into it but i can't

Aloha, I have found the easiest way to do what you are after is to set up Image Capture (located in your applications folder) to open when a camera/card is connected. You then have the option to view the photos, delete any you don't want and import them to iPhoto, or your desktop. I have a specific folder named downloaded pics which I send them to. You also have the option for Image Capture to erase card when finished importing. It is an extra step, but I have found it very helpful for not wasting space and not importing everything only to have to delete photos later. Hope this helps. JB

Can't drag transitions into timeline

Hi, I am trying to drag dissolves into the timeline but they won't take. Can anyone help?

Can't drag photos into iDVD

I've followed all of the instructions but none of my photos (jpeg) will stay in the drop zone where it says "drag photos here" . I can drag them there but then they just pop back over...HELP I'm getting really frustrated.

Also watch the cursor -- when you have an image file in the right format (jpeg should be fine; could try converting to tiff) and drag it to the drop zone, the cursor should change and show a "plus" sign.

Can't drag clips into timeline (newbie warning)

I'm sure that this has been discussed previously on this board, but I couldn't find a post.
Back to my problem: All of a sudden, the current project that I'm working on will not let me drag clips into the timeline. The clips turn to a "lite" color of gray and freeze. I'm brand new to this so a uncondescending response would be greatly appreciated.

Hi larget2 - this being a very friendly board, it is most unlikely that you will be scorned! We've all sought and been given willing help here from time to time.
Some more details might be of help in solving your problem:
How big is your project, and how much storage space do you have?
What is the source of your clips?
Is this your first project, or have you successfully completed others?
How far into the project were you before the problem began?
Is your project stored on your start-up disk, or on an external drive?
try repairing permissions (Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility), and with iMovie closed down, trash this file: Users(you)>Library>Preferences>com.apple.imovie.plist.

Can't drag video into timeline premiere cc

Been working with PP CC since it came out and have had almost no problems. Now I have a head scratcher. I can't drag a video clip from the project panel to the sequence. The audio comes but the video won't. All I get is the close hand with a line through it when I hover over any of the video tracks. The clips play fine in the source monitor but still cant drag it from source to sequence either. Tried this with clips from several projects and cameras but no go. Started a new project, different name, folder and footage, still have the problem.

Can't drag effects into timeline in Fcp

Hello, so I just installed final cut studio 2 and am used to being able to drag effects (like dissolves and such) into the timeline right from the effects window. Final Cut is not letting me do this. Also I have this weird problem where I can't see anything i put on the timeline in the canvas. I can hear it when I play the timeline and I can look at the files in the viewer (they are quicktime) but not on the canvas. Occasionally I can see one fram and when the project is un-rendered and the red bar shows up above the timeline I can drag through and watch some of it. But never when playing. Weird dilemma. Anyone know what to do?
Thanks in advance.

here's the settings: 640 x 480 ntsc 4:3, pixel aspect ratio: square, anamorphic not checked, field dominance none, editing timebase: 29.97, compressor: motion JPEG A, quality 100%
video processing: render in 8-bit YUV
I'm doing everything as i've always done with regard to transistions.. it just won't let me drag them in to the timeline.. this goes for everything under the effects tab: such as video generators: text and things like that. I appreciate your help.

When I drag photos into iMovie, the image quality is degraded. Can I somehow prevent the degradation?

When I drag photos into iMovie, the image quality is degraded. Can I somehow prevent the degradation?

Hi
A very common origin to jumpy picture is
• Recorded material in one frame rate e.g. 29.97fps (NTSC) and iDVD set to do a 25fps (PAL) project - OR the other way around.
It delivers a DVD but a very bad one.
I do convert all my material to same fps as the DVD I want to do (e.g. PAL) - before any editing etc.
I use JES_Deinterlacer or Compressor to do this and the result is so much better.
JES_Deinterlacer is free on Internet and makes a Great job - Professional alternatives comes at an astronomical cost and the quality is not hardly no better.

Can`t left click and drag clip into timeline..Need advice

Can`t left click and drag clip into timeline, or drag clips around in timeline.
Can insert into timeline from Source Window but can't drag from source window.
Can cut and paste within timeline.
Restarting cs5 doesn`t help, but restarting computer solves problem for a while.
Tried many mouses, but that didn`t help.
Have no idea how I got the name OLD PRO, must have been drinking champagne years ago, because I am a bumbler par excellence!
Message was edited by: old pro

Thank you so much for asking
In the Project Panel a left click highlights the asset but ignores the drag.
In the timeline, a left click highlights the panel and when I try to drag it gives a flicker but that's all.
I can cut and paste in the timeline.
A restart of CS5 has no effect. Restarting the computer solves the problem for a while.
Four different mouses--same problem.

Can you drag photos/elements into PSE 9.0 on Mac

hello, I just switched to a Mac and am using PSE 9.0. Can you drag photos or elements into the project bin? I can't seem to figure it out and it's frustrating me, I could just open my files in my computer on my PC and drag what I wanted in. How do you do this on a Mac or do I have to open each one separately? thanks!! I'm a digi scrapper and it's driving me nuts!!

You can drag one photo into the workspace (not the project bin) if there's not another photo open, but for some reason in PSE 9 it stops working with additional photos. This is a PSE 9 bug, though, not the usual behavior of previous mac versions.

Cannot drag photos into iPhoto '09

I just got a new MacBook Pro and I installed iPhoto '09 and I noticed something odd. I cannot drag photos into iPhoto to import them. I remembered in the previous version on my old MacBook Pro I was able to drag photos to the app (in the photo area) and it would import them. Now the only way dragging works is if I drag the photos to the iPhoto icon on the dock.
Anyone see this before? I think I might have some strange dragging problem because I can no longer drag attachments from Entourage and save them to folders I have to manually click the save button. I'm not sure if this is related. Thanks

It was my Helvetica and Helvetica Neue fonts. They got jacked some how. I moved them and then copied them back and then rebooted. That fixed it. I guess you used to be able to disable and renable them from font book but they were locked so I did it manually. Fixed it.

I upgraded to Lightroom 3.4 and can't move photos into collections or files

To move a photo into a collection, you point your mouse at the photo(s) (not the gray rectangle around the photo) and drag it into a collection.
You can't move a photo into a file. Perhaps you meant something else?
