Can't drag the length of photo clip

hi, i used to be able to adjust the length of the photo by dragging it, but now it doesn't work. the pointer doesn't change anymore. what am i doing wrong?

Hi zulusibs - welcome to the forum!
Have you unchecked the View>Show Clip Volume Levels? It will only work with that un-selected.

  • Size matters. How can I tell the length of an edited  clip?

    I knew the length of my clip when I launched it in to the Timeline, but, now that I have cut out all the bits I don't want, is there an easy way to determine the new, shorter duration of my clip?
    I tried selecting the parts I wanted to time in aggregate, (perhaps one person speaking, for example ) but my right click revealed only the time of the severed portion of the clip beneath my cursor.
    I can write down the beginning time of the clip, deduct that from the time shown at the end of the clip, and arrive at a time for that specific segment that way, but ii seems laborious. Also I have to use a wooden thing called a pencil.
    Thank you

    That is wonderful. Thank you for the prompt reply. I tried it immediately and, of course, it works beautifully. Thank you again.

  • Can i see the length of the clip writen on the clip?

    Hi
    I want to know the length of each clip, when i look at the timeline (like in Avid), can i do that?

    It's odd how that is staring you in the face and most of us completely miss it.
    I noticed some info at the bottom during the weekend .. .. .. and promptly forgot about it.
    Does any other info appear there apart from clip durations?

  • How can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

    how can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

    First, go to iMovie/Preferences and enable the Advanced Tools.
    Import the video clip into an iMovie Event. When you get ready to use it in an iMovie Project, select the clip in the Event and drag & drop it on top of a video or photo clip in the project at the place where you want it to begin. When the pop-up menu appears, choose Audio Only.

  • I am utilizing imovie 7.1 and I am trying to shorten the length of a clip.  How do I do that?

    I am utilizing imovie 7.1 and I am trying to shorten the length of a clip.  How do I do that?

    There are several ways to do this.
    First, drag the clip from your Event to an iMovie Project.
    In the Project, there are several options:
    1) Select the part of the clip you want to keep by dragging with your mouse. When you have it, right click within the selection and select "Trim to Selection". (You can also do this from the Edit Menu.)
    2) Select the part of the clip you want to cut by dragging with your mouse. When you have it, right-click within the selection and choose "Delete Selection". You can also do this from the Edit Menu.
    There is a good Tutorial here. http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/imovie08.html#trimming

    how can i change the length of a narration ?

    Thanks for the reply.
    Still not sure what version of Premiere Elements that you are using. But, the following should apply nonetheless
    What you describe is what I have described in my blog post and for which I have discussed all aspects of the issue. There
    is no workaround to force the program to give you more than you are getting now without other clips also on the track(s). The
    blog post just about says it all.
    You might have to weigh the pros and cons of
    a. Recording your narrations as .wav files in a free audio editor such as Audacity
    Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
    and then importing those into your Premiere Elements project with Premiere Elements' Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag the narration to the Narration Track.
    b. Put any video clips on the Timeline when you are recording your Premiere Elements narrations with its Narration Tool. Then remove these video clips and replace them with the real thing when you are ready to put narration and clips into the project.
    Please let me know if you are OK with the details.
    Thank you.

  • 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.  

  • When I zoom in on photo using iPhoto, how can I save the zoomed in photo please?  This always looks better than cropping., When I zoom in on photo using iPhoto, how can I save the zoomed in photo please?  This always looks better than cropping.

    When I zoom in on photo using iPhoto, how can I save the zoomed in photo please?  I would like a screen shot of my zoomed in photo - is this possible?.  Cropping doesn't give the same effect as zooming in and magnifying the photo.  Any help would be appreciated thank you.  I have an iMac

    To take a screenshot of the zoomed photo, press either the key combination
         ⇧⌘3   for a screenshot of the full screen, or
         ⇧⌘4   to bring up a selection rectangle: select the section of the screen, that you want to save.
    The screenshots will be sent to your desktop; drag them from there to the iPhoto icon in the Dock to import them.

  • How can I reinsert the deleted audio from clips in my sequence?

    How can I reinsert the deleted audio from clips in my sequence?

    I can tell you a work around to get you going in the meantime, just may be time consuming if you have a lot of clips in the timeline.
    double click a clip missing audio
    press the go to in point and copy the timecode to notepad
    press the go to end point and copy timecode
    right click clip, and reveal in project
    double click the original in project
    paste in timecode and set in & out points again
    drag audio
    As I said not the quickest way, but it works, and won't actually take as long as you'd think, 30 secs or so per clip, i just hope you don't have over 100 clips without audio

  • I can't drag and drop from photos 1.0 to desktop

    I can't drag and drop from photos 1.0 to desktop

    What happens if you double click on the thumbnail to view the photo in a larger size?  If you Control-click on the thumbnail and select "Show File" or "Show Original" (if it's been edited) are you taken to the folder where the original file is located an it highlighted?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can't see the bottom of Photo Booth

    Suddenly I can't see the bottom of Photo Booth to delete photos I don't like. The toolbar at the bottom is in the way. Making the toolbar smaller doesn't seem to help. This is a recent problem. It wasn't happening before. Did I do something to make this happen? Can I fix it? I'd appreciate any tips!

    HI Patty...
    Try deleting this file. com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.
    BTW, you posted this in the Safari for Mac forum.
    I'm going to ask a host to move you thread to the Tiger forum.
    Also, please click My Settings on the right side of this window and type in which Mac you have, scroll down and click Save. Thanks!

    I would like to copy my iPhoto (9.4.1) library from my Mac Pro (10.7.5) to a Macbook Pro (10.7.5). Can I drag the iPhoto Library from the Pictures folder to Air Drop and send them to the MacBook? If I then move that to the Pictures folder on the MacBook will that then be a usable iPhoto library on the Macbook?

    It would be better if you could connect the two Macs via a hard wired LAN to copy the library from the Mac Pro to the MacBook.  Wireless connections can have momentary dropouts which could affect the reliable copying of files. 
    If you do go with Air Drop be sure to open and inspect the copied library closely to confirm it was a successulf copy.
