CAN'T figure out how to make/edit movies in QuickTime Pro...

I can't seem to figure out how to creat and edit movies in Quicktime Pro. I would do this in windows movie maker as its sooo simple, but it doesn't save in a format that works on a mac computer (I'm emailing the video to someone who uses a mac!). And, I can't seem to find a program that is as easy to use as Windows Movie Maker...PLEASE help me, I really NEED to get this movie in a format to work on a Mac! I'm at a total loss as to what to do! And I can't seem to find a tutorial, either!

First of all, Quicktime is not really an "editing" program in the traditional sense. If you are expecting to really edit in QT Pro, you will be disappointed. Yes, you can actually import video directly into QT Pro and edit it, but the functions will be limited to roughly selecting chunks of video and deleting them, and you won't have frame-accurate control like other real editing programs. But lets start at the beginning: 1) Your post does not give enough information to anyone for them to help you. Where are the videos coming from that you want to edit? Camcorder? Digital camera that takes MPEG movies? VHS or DVDs? 2) The answer to #1 will be the clue as whether you are plugging a USB device or a Firewire device into the computer. Once this is determined, then instructions will vary as to how you go about editing. 3) I'm not sure if you are using QT Pro on a PC or a Mac. If you have a Mac, why don't you use the built-in video editing program that came with your computer? It's called iMovie? Quicktime can convert some video files into something that is compatible with iMovie, if they're not already. If you are using QT Pro on a PC, then I'm a little unfamilar as if it works exactly the same between between a Mac and PC. Seeing that you come from the PC side of the Universe, I'd bet that you are trying to plug in and use a USB device. On a Mac, QT Pro can record video directly from a camcorder, but it needs to be connected via Firewire. Otherwise for something transferred via USB, you most likely have an MPEG file. QT Pro can open this, but again, the editing will be very rough as QT is not a refined edit program.

Can't figure out how to make "sub-tabs" / Too many "top-tabs" / Other ?

First of all, the website that I am webmaster for is: www.cindydennis.org .
I am having some problems:
1) There are TOO MANY tabs at the top. I can't figure out how to make sub-headings on one page...
For example, I'd like on the "About CDM" page, tabs that can be clicked on to go to other information tabs, but that don't end up appearing on the top (e.g.: having "Remarks" and "What We Believe" tabs go there, but not appear at the top).
Another example, if you look at the home screen, I'd like to have the link to the "Privacy Policy" and Terms of Service" pages on the bottom, but not have them appear as tabs in the top, too.
How do I do this, please? I've searched, and can't figure out/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
2) How do I add "Copyright 2011" automatically? I saw in the Rapidweaver trial version, it automatically adds it when you publish... is there a way to tell this program to do this? Or do I need to type that in on each page? (I don't want to purchase RW... I'm not ready for that yet.)
Thank you in advance
Cindee

Cindee ~ One way to do the copyright notice is to use a Text Clipping — Select (highlight) the copyright text you want to use and drag it to the Desktop. If necessary, change the name of the Clipping icon so that it's more easily identifiable on the Desktop. Then, when you need it in iWeb, simply drag the Clipping icon from the Desktop to iWeb's main canvas.
By the way, rather than posting your URL here like this:
www.cindydennis.org
...include the prefix to make it conveniently clickable:
http://www.cindydennis.org

Trying to enter hotel password and 1st letter is always upper case and password is lower case. Can't figure out how to make 1st letter lower case

I am trying to enter a hotel password for internet access. The password is all lower case, but the 1st letter I type is always upper case and I can't figure out how to make it lower case. Help?

The digital keyboard on the iPad uses an "Up Arrow" as a symbol to represent its shift key(s). If it's highlighted, then the next letter typed will be upper-case. Just tap on the Arrow symbol and it should be unhighlighted. Now if you type any letter, it will be lower-case.

I filmed several takes of the same scene for a movie. I trimmed the best clips from each take and put them into the project screen. However, I can't figure out how to make it flow seamlessly as one scene. Can someone please help me??

If your computer is on one minute before it freezes, than you have one minute to secure your serial number.
click the apple----->click about this Mac ------> click on version----> until you see the serial number. You may have to do this a couple of times if it freezes before you have all the numbers. A camera might help.
Good Luck

Ever time I make a call on my iPhone 4 my FaceTime icon has a question mark in the middle of it. I can not figure out how to make it go away. Nor can I make a FaceTime call.

Ever time I make a call on my iPhone 4 my FaceTime icon has a question mark in the middle of it. I can not figure out how to make it go away. Nor can I make a FaceTime call. Do I need to install a FaceTime App on my phone?

No, your FaceTime is build in, see this article for more info: iOS: Using FaceTime
Did you enable restirctions for FaceTime in Settings/General/Restrictions ->FaceTime?
Is FaceTime enabled in Settings/Phone?

The window displaying bookmarks is too large (suddenly happened with the new version). I can't figure out how to make the display smaller. Zooming out does not work on the bookmark menu display.

I have version 4, just downloaded, and a Mac w. OS 10.6. 7.
The bookmarks display (when I pull down "bookmarks") is much too wide. I can't figure out how to reduce the display size. The window is not persistent so I can't even get you a screen shot.
Thanks, Sara

It seems there was a change in Firefox 4 where the width of the drop-down is now determined by the length the longest bookmark name in the folder being displayed. Previous versions of Firefox would shorten a long name like that and add an ellipsis to signify the name was truncated.
Sorry, I don't know how to change that other than to advise you to edit the name of that long bookmark name and make it less verbose. Just scroll down the list of bookmarks in that wide folder until you see the culprit, then right-click that bookmark and open Properties & edit the Name line at the top of that dialog.

Latest iTunes, can't figure out how to select a movie to transfer to iPad

From older versions of iTunes I used to select the device>movies and select which movies/videos/playlists/etc from my library I wanted transferred, then sync.
Now going to movies only shows which movies are currently on the iPad; I can't see how to remove or add to that list.
I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow and planned to copy over a season of a TV show or a movie or two, but now I can't figure out how.
Need answer quickly if possible so I can sync overnight. Thanks

Transfer Manually
Step 1
Connect your iPad to your computer.

If you do not have Wi-Fi synchronization enabled, connect your iPad to your computer using the USB dock cable that came with the device.
Step 2
Launch the iTunes application on your computer and click your iPad under the Devices heading.

SQL Query (updateable report) - Can't figure out how to make one

Hi folks,
Can someone tell me how to make a report where the data can be updated? Not an interactive report, a SQL report that selects only one row. The only options in the drop down I see are "SQL Query" and "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)", but I have a report elsewhere that says it's type is "SQL Query (updateable report)", but I can't remember how to do it :(
Thanks very much,
-Adam

Hi Adam,
An Updatable Report is a "Tabular Form" - see: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/appdev.310/e10497/frm_tabular.htm#CHDFBHDB

I recently installed the new operating system. iMovie doesn't seem to work the same as in Mountain Lion. I can't figure out how to burn a movie to a DVD. Has that feature been eliminated?

I am having difficulty figuring out how to burn my iMovie to a DVD. Has that feature been eliminated?

unbelievable... the amount of RAM is the issue... I found a post (http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=8448) on an unrelated matter, but the user solved their issue under X64 by limiting the amount of RAM WinXP x64 was using by editing the boot.ini file.
The basis of the "trick" is to add " /maxmem=4096" to the end of your OS line, but I elected to copy the line and add it to a new entry so I could easily select which "mode" i wanted at boot.... like so...
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition()\WINDOWS="Window s XP Professional x64 Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition()\WINDOWS="Window s XP Professional x64 Edition - X-Fi tweak" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /maxmem=4096
amazingly this solved my issue... but now my system properties only report 2Gb instead of 4Gb... unacceptable!

Can't figure out how to make direction aware mouse over?

I don't have much coding skills at all so that is probably my main problem but does anyone know how to do this effect in Edge Animate? I'm very new to this program but over the last 2 weeks i've been trying to create this and epic failed. Any Advice? Thanks
http://tympanus.net/codrops/2012/04/09/direction-aware-hover-effect-with-css3-and-jquery/

Hi, Sekai-
If you're trying to do this in Animate, I would throw most of the concept out and think of what the jQuery is actually trying to accomplish: it's trying to determine which direction the mouse is entering and leaving in order to determine what direction the overlay should run when you actually enter the object. You can do the same thing by looking at the pageX and pageY of the mouseenter and mouseleave events and then doing some kind of comparison.
Without coding it explicitly, this is how I would approach the problem:
on every object's mouseleave (I'd use a symbol in this case, btw), try to determine the pageX and pageY and compare it to the content's dimensions in order to determine whether or not it leaves from top, right, left, or bottom.
Based on this information, play from the symbol's timeline in the out direction (e.g. "outFromTop")
on every object's mouseenter, try to determine the pageX and pageY and see which direction it comes from. If I can tell, animate from that side. If I can't, fall back to the last mouseleave's event in order to figure out where it should come from
Based on this information, play from the symbol's timeline in a different location, from label (e.g. "inFromTop")
Hope that helps you get going!
Thanks,
-Elaine

I can't figure out how to make a hyperlink

Can anyone tell me how to create a hyperlink (such as in an e-mail)? I know how to do it on a Microsoft but don't know how to on a Mac. Am I just missing the blatantly obvious???

Thanks a lot. I am just used to using Microsoft, and couldn't understand why it wouldn't indicate that it was linked (Like how it turns blue underlined in Windows). It makes sense to me now because my friends weren't saying anything about the links not working. Once again, thanks a billion.

Can't figure out how to make a weblink on a regular DVD

Hi,
I'm making a DVD for a film I made. I want the DVD , when placed in a computer, to be able to link to our company website. In other words, I would like to have a button in the special features menu that when clicked on brings up our website. I just can't figure it out. Thanks!

read up on "DVD@ccess". This is DVDSP's solution to this function.
Not all users will be able to see this work without first enabling or installing DVD@ccess.
This type of function is not part of the DVD specification, and so any software DVD Player can only activate and external web link by building this function into the Player software as a unique function of that software. As such, it is nearly impossible to achieve universal compatibility with this feature.
