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?

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.

    Have new iMac and it won't start up. Can't find a power button?

    Try to perform a HARD RESET on the printer first. Unplug the power cord from the printer, and leave it out for 30 seconds. Plug it back in, see if it aligns and finishes the job.
    After alignment, try to print a test page from the printer or make a copy. This job is to make sure that the HARDWARE of the printer is working correctly.

  • Where in itunes can I find the eject button for my new ipod nano?

    Where in itunes can I find the eject button for my new ipod nano?

    When in iTunes on the top R it should say your name and ipod and then there is a triangle pointing up with one or two lines underneath.  Just click on that and then it's ok to disconnect.

  • I can't find the Apps button in my ipod touch, please help.

    I can't find the Apps button in my ipod touch.
    I already downloaded some applications in itunes, hoping to sync it to my ipod touch. However, there is no button for Apps in my ipod touch.
    And in the partitions of my ipod touch memory (music, photos, videos), there is no space for Applications.
    Please help, thanks!

    Oh this is quite easy to solve!
    1) First connect iPod to computer
    2) Launch iTunes
    3) On the left hand side of iTunes, under Library, there is an Apps header?
    4) When you click on that, you should see your downloaded apps?
    5) A little lower down, you'll see your iPod under Devices, drag apps over your iPod's list (over the music, photos, videos area as you mentioned), you'll that that area is highlighted, release left mouse button to drop them apps!
    6) Copying ensues ...
    7) Check iPod
    8) Back at iTunes, click on your iPod's name, look at the right side, you'll see a summary page right?
    9) At the top of that page, one of the menu item is Apps, click on that and you'll see a replica of sorts of your iPod, unchecking apps (or selecting by checking) and then hitting Apply button below, will apply the changes you made onto your iPod.
    10) You can also arrange your iPod from there if you like.
    That was a lot of steps, but its pretty simple to perform, and the last few wasn't really neccessary, it does look more impressive to write a long list of steps however.

  • I can't find the "Repeat" button in my Itunes.

    I can't find the "Repeat" button in my Itunes, when I'm listenning to a music. I have reinstaled my Itunes, it didn't help.

    You can access the repeat options if you right-click on the shuffle icon, or if menus are enabled you can use
    Controls > Repeat > Off | All | One.
    Once the control is visible you can click it to switch between states as before. If the control is turned to off it disappears on the next track change. In contrast the shuffle control remains visible whenever it is appropriate. Hopefully the next release will fix this.

    I'm trying to sync my ipad over wifi, with my MAC, I have the updated software on my MAC, the ipad is up to dat 6.1.2.  I can follow all of the steps, but I can't find a SUMMARY button on the toolbar, nor do I receive the option to sync.  What am I doing wrong or what should I look for?  Thank You

    To sync your iPad over Wifi:
    First ensure you're running iTunes 11.0.2. And you already have your iPad up to date, good.
    Plug your iPad into the Mac via USB. Click your iPad in the top toolbar (under the search bar). Click the Summary tab if it isn't already selected. Check the box to "Sync with this iPad over Wi-Fi" (you may have to scroll down to see it). And now click the Apply button at the bottom right.
    You should be able to unplug your iPad from the Mac and it should still remain in iTunes. (If not, try Quitting and relaunching iTunes and waiting, restarting iPad, etc).
    To initiate a sync over Wifi, click your iPad in the toolbar in iTunes then click Sync. Or on your iPad, go to Settings > General > iTunes Wifi Sync and tap "Sync Now."
    If this didn't solve your problem, please let me know with a more detailed explanation of what you're experiencing so I can try to help you get up and syncing wirelessly!

  • I can't find the deactivate button. I know you need to go to Help Deactivate. But where is this help? On Adobe or on my computer?

    I can't find the deactivate button. I know you need to go to Help > deactivate. But where is this help? On Adobe or on my computer?

    Open whatever application you wish to deactivate and from the top toolbar choose Help -> Deactivate.  If this is for a Creative Suite then just open any one of the applications that are in it and deactivate thru that - it will deactivate the entire suite.

  • IMovie 7.1.4 project can't find clip! exclamation points everywhere!

    My iMovie 7.1.4 project can't find clip! exclamation points everywhere!
    I think I may have changed the name of the clip, since (long story) I had exported the finished version and thought I was done.. but that had to be deleted to make room for something in an emergency. So of course, now that I want to re-export the project, it can't find the clip.
    There are yellow exclamation points on every single piece in the project (hundreds) that are all supposed to refer to one hour-long clip. The clip IS in the event library. I can see it and watch it.
    How can I tell the project how to search for the clip if it now has a different name? It's RIGHT THERE! This is so frustrating. Of course I can't guess the original super long crazy clip-name.
    Every music/video program on Earth allows you to search for "missing" clips. This seems really lame.
    Deleting cache.plist didn't help.
    Please help! I spent many hours editing, and cannot fathom re-doing this one.
    elaine

    I had the same thing happen. Opened iMovie and all my events were there, but there was a blank "My Project" in the project pane. Even if I double-click the project file that I'm trying to see, it doesn't show up. Were you able to resolve it on your system?
    Thanks,

  • I can't find the download button?

    Hi
    I have followed the instrustions to download photoshop, I have paid for it and still I can't find the download button. I have just gone out and brought a new computer to support this program so very keen to get this sorted. As a have lots of assignments.

    Hi,
    On the Photoshop CS6 download page, if you are not able to see the download button, you can use the following direct links to download the software.
    Copy both the links one at a time and paste it on  the address bar and hit enter.
    Save both the files.
    After both of them have been saved, Run the .exe file.
    Direct Download links :
    http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PHSP/13/win32/Photoshop_13_LS16.7z
    http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PHSP/13/win32/Photoshop_13_LS16.exe
    Note : The above links would only work from the Photoshop CS6 Download page, accessing the link other than this would result in 'Access Denied" error.
    Please revert in case of any issues.
    Regards,
    Ravi.
