Can you adjust the speed of a clip in iMovie '08?

I know you could adjust make things go in slow-mo, etc. in the older version of iMovie and it looks like iMovie '09 lets you do so. But I can't figure out how to do it in iMovie '08? Any hints?

This feature is not built into iMovie 08. However, you can take a clip and use a third party app like JES Deinterlacer to change the speed. Then reimport the new clip into iMovie.

Can you adjust the tint on the built-in isight camera on an iMac?

Can you adjust the tint on the built-in isight camera on an iMac? It is curently too red on my iMac.

The iSight has no mechanical parts. The iSight will adjust to the light by changing the sensitivity of the sensor's receptors. It is possible to manipulate the picture with software routines and simulate slow shutter speed. For photography look [here|http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/overview>.

Can you adjust the pitch of a track in the middle of a song in Logic Express?

Can you adjust the pitch of a track in the middle of a song in Logic Express? So have the first 40 bars in C minor and the last 16 in D major for example?
Thanks

Hi,
the question is what you want to achieve by doing so. Obviously, transposing is easy. Split the track into two regions. The first region is original pitch, the second is to be transposed. Select the second region. Enter the desired transposition value in the region inspector. Make sure the checkbox "no transpose" is UNchecked in the track inspector.
HOWEVER: You cannot "transpose" minor key into major key. This is because the intervals of full steps / half steps is different for minor and major. The 3rd and the 6th step is a half step in minor, while it is a full step in major. Therefor you must adjust the MIDI events in the piano roll editor to change minor to major and vice versa.

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 I adjust the speed of my video clips?

I would like to use slow motion and fast motion in the movie I'm making with iMovie '08, but I cannot figure out how. I am positive I was able to adjust the speed of clips in iMovie '06, but I just can't find where/how to do it in iMovie '08. Have I lost my mind or has this option been eliminated in iMovie '08?
And as a bonus question, if it has been eliminated, WHY?

I was able to adjust the speed of clips in iMovie '06, but I just can't find where/how to do it in iMovie '08. Have I lost my mind or has this option been eliminated in iMovie '08?
You can within iMovie HD. You can't from within '08. (You can pre-edit a clip for fast or slow motion externally.)
And as a bonus question, if it has been eliminated, WHY?
It is not so much a question of why it might have been deliberately eliminated but a question of how to add it to iMovie '08. As has been said hundreds, if not thousands, of times already, this is an entirely new application editing in an completely new manner. Motion changes require re-rendering of the file to use it in a project. iMovie '08 does not do any rendering until the project (i.e., which is merely a set of instructions) is actually completed. In case you haven't noticed, none of the third-party special effect "plug-ins" are compatible with iMovie '08 either. Your best bet is to either use iMovie HD (v6.0.4 available free online to iLife '08 users). It is either that or learn how to create such effects externally with other applications like the JES Deinterlacer (free) or QT Pro ($30).

Can you adjust the fan speed? How?

I had an espiode the other day where the MacBook got so hot that it basically shut down. Can the fan be adjusted and how do I get to the area to adjust it? I am fairly new to the world of MacBooks and would appreciate the advice.

You can easily adjust the fan speed by using smcFanControl:
http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/23049
That said, it sounds a bit strange that the MacBook would run so hot. The fan should adjust itself to the CPU warmth. If that is not happening, I'd investigate whether the fan really works.

How can I change the speed of a clip if the speed slider is missing?

I have read several other threads on this topic and they have not resolved my issue. I have a single clip I would like to adjust the speed for. When I click on "Clip Adjustments," the "Inspector' window only shows duration. Changing the duration does not make the closing credits roll more slowly. The clip is already part of my project, so I have no idea what else to try.
I'm very grateful for assistance.
Thanks.

Ok, well you won't get a "speed scale" indicator when editing a title clip. You can only adjust duration. Now, is there music attached to the title clip? Are you adjusting the TITLE TEXT box ONLY? Try adjusting the clip BELOW Title Text box 1st, then Title Text clip. Is the Title attached to your own video OR is it one of iMovie's default Titles??

Can you adjust the sensitivity (Skipping through Transients)?

Protools lets you skip through your waveforms while editing (quick). Logic goes to every little waveform (Transient) to detailed. You know when you go to BeatMapping when you adjust the sensitivity to lets say (50) it goes to the Highest waveform and marks it.
What I want to do is in the (Arrange Window) >I want to skip through and cut up my waveforms by the Highest Peaks of the wave! (Does that make sense)

I have 10 drum tracks regions marquee selected and I have the kick track selected and when I shift right arrow all the tracks are analyzed but I want ONLY the kick's transients to be analyzed since there is no noise between the hits. The noise and non gated low level signals are causing the transient detector to make a stop every little step I do not want this, nor do you. How do we use this feature and still make the cuts across all the tracks based on the kick's transients ?

the format is CSV, i try to explain better what i'm doing.
our client asked to save acquisition data with header description in an excel readable format, i've decided to use .CSV and not .TDM because it's a simple txt file and we never used .TMD but i will propose to use it.
after some research on the internet i've found nothing to handle .CSV in CVI except from this csv_parse but i've found it difficult to be maintained so i've write it by my own hand.
i've written two example of how to use my function to read or write and i've copyed my function used to read and write.
in the write function i check with FindPattern if the string to be write contain some special character, if i find this i have to quote the string to respect the standard RFC4180 and if i find a quote i have to double it. aftere i've done this check i write the line in the file.
in the read function, that is more complicated, i:
check if the first character is a quote.
if it's not i copy the string until the delimitier or until the end of the line.
if it is i have a string with special character inside so:
i find the first quote in the string. when i've found i check if it's follwed by another quote. this means that in the starting message i was writing a single quote.
if it's not followed by another quote but it's followed by a delimiter or a carriage return i've finished the special line.
if i don't find it it means that the special quote have a carriage return inside and i have to check the next line. before checking the next line i save this in my string.
after this loop i check in every string if i have a double quote and i delete one.
the main problem is in the speed of this, i'm acquiring data at 1000 S/s with 8 active channel for 60 second so i have 480000 data to be stored, divided in 60.000 row and 8 column. to read a file like that my pc stay "locked" for 15 second or more.
i've tried to use the arraytofile function and it's extremly fast and i can also put header because the function can start from the last position in the file but the filetoarray function start from the beginning and i cannot read the header correctly. also if i'm using the european CSV with semicolon as delimiter with arraytofile i cannot select the semicolon but only the coma

Can you adjust the height of the toolbar button in the skin file?

Can I manually adjust the height of the toolbar navigation buttons in the skin file? It seems no matter how tall I make the nav panel, the buttons adjust size accordingly. Can I tell it to be 50% or something like that? For example, this is what I see for the glossary button.
<toolbaritem mode="BtnWithIcon Mode" type="built-in-glossary" id="4">
   <name>Glossary</name>
   <text>::??DefaultWebSkinText??::</text>
   <color></color>
   <image></image>
   <icontype>none</icontype>
   <selected>
    <color></color>
    <image></image>
    <icontype>none</icontype>
   </selected>
   <style>100</style>
</toolbaritem>
Notice I am not using custom images or anything, just plain text.
Thanks

Hi Josh
You must be someone that dearly loves digging into code.
The simplest way to adjust the buttons is to use the built in Skin Editor.
Hmmm, and in writing that response it occurs to me that you haven't exactly advised which of the outputs you are creating. The skin editor I'm referring to is the WebHelp skin editor. To open it, click View > Pods > Project Set-up. Once that pod is open you should see the Skins folder. Expand that and double-click the skin you are using to open and edit it using the skin editor.
Cheers... Rick

How can you increase the speed with a slider

I have been trying to work at this for about a week and a
half. I browsed several communities but it seems that noone has an
answer so I am not even sure if this is possible I am not a flash
expert but what I am trying to do is as follows;
I have a movie with several movie clips. I have an animation
of a female walking, I also have a slider that when I move it to
the right bags are added on to her. but what I am also trying to
accomplish is to have her walk faster as the slider moves to the
right.
I tried several scripts but they seem not to work as I wan
them to plus they start to cancel out the bag function.
How could I make this happen if it is even possible. I want
to use the slider to increase the speed of the lady walking. Slider
and Lady are movie clips.
thanks in advance

At present I'm not aware of any way to achieve this exact effect in Muse (where the first screen of a web page is resized to fill the browser window and the rest of the page, as you scroll down, appears to be fixed height layout).

Can you adjust the speed of a clip in iMovie '08?
