Can you fast forward footage on iMove 08?

Simple question:
Once you have loaded footage into the iMovie 08 project, how does one take the selected footage and fast forward it to create a fast forward effect? I could find the task in the iMovie 09 directions but not in the iMovie 08.
Anyone? And thanks in advance.

iMovie 08 was primarily designed for SIMPLE editing.
Slow / Fast Motion is easy with iMovie 06.

  • Can you fast forward in movies?

    When I view a video, if I click the center button I sometimes see the "timing" bar (that shows time played and time remaining) although it doesn't seem to work all the time.
    Even when I see the bar displayed, it looks like I can't use the wheel to select a starting time to play from? I expected to see a diamond that I can move around just like when I play music.
    Am I missing something about the user interface, or do I just have to make sure I have the time to watch the whole video in one sitting?
    FYI, for some reason the video appears under "music video" rather than movies, I'm nt sure why nor do I know if this might have an impact on playback capabilities

    Hi Papa....
    I have the classic 80. While a video is playing, if I push the center button once, I can use the touch wheel to change volume. If I double click the center button, then I can scroll through the video to fast forward and reverse. When I find the section of video I want, then I click the center button again and it goes to the point I selected.
    Also, if I push and hold the right or left arrow, the video will fast forward and reverse. This way of fast-forwarding and reversing is not very precise. But it works for me.
    Hope this helps. Good luck.

  • When using imovie for Ipad, how can I fast forward a project to cut the length down?

    When using imovie for Ipad, how can I fast forward a project to cut the length down to fit under the 15 minutes required for Youtube? My current project is 23 minutes, and need to cut it down below 15 minutes. I was hoping to speed up the video. The content would actually be better viewed in at a faster speed anyhow.

    Jon,
    It sounds like you did, just as you should, Save_As and Delete everything that is unwanted. If you did the Deletion from the Timeline, there should be nothing from the old Project, that should be included. A DVD is Transcoded and burned from the Timeline. If the Assets are not there, they will not included in the DVD, even if you did not Delete anything from the Project Panel.
    Tell us about the Clips now on your Timeline. Also, can you check the Timeline, by hitting the \ (Backslash key), and looking near the end of the Timeline. Do you have any "orphans" out there? Check all Video Tracks, even if you have to scroll to see them all. Does the Duration of the Timeline (viewed in the Program Monitor) match what you think that it should? If not, then you most likely have orphans, that you missed Deleteing.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Can not fast forward though podcasts on iPhone 4.

    When I first got the phone I was able to fast forward though them. Then something happened three days ago and now I can't fast forward though them at all. When I'm looking at the podcast selection screen it shows '--:--' as the time for all the podcasts. When the podcast is playing it shows '-00:00' as the play time and the scrubber never moves. If I try to fast forward at all it just jumps back to the beginning of the podcast.
    Anyone find a fix for this?

    I have the same problem. But it happens in mp3 music as well as podcasts. The only solution I've found is to reboot my iPhone. It's kind of a hassle, so I'd like to see a fix from Apple.

  • Can you go on Facebook while IMovie is sharing your project to Facebook?

    So I'm always sharing my videos to Facebook, and I always have to wait. But that's what I'm asking...can you go on Facebook while IMovie is sharing your project to Facebook?
    also, go check my youtube channel here:

    lol thanks

    Of course. Why wouldn't you be able to? All you're doing is waiting on iMovie. Facebook isn't doing anything.

  • Can you get an edl from iMovie?

    can you produce and edl from imovie?

    That's also a big complaint people have when they use iMovie. It doesn't use the source file name in any obvious way. The only thing you might be able to do in the Event Folder is try to hold down the CTRL-key click on the clip and choose Reveal in Finder to decipher the original name of the clip. Like this:

  • New iMovie ?  can not fast forward or slow down clips ??

    Can anyone help me?
    When i try to fast forward or slow down a clip in iMovie i can see the option in "Modify" menu but it does not allow me to select the options

    The clip must first be in a Project before you can speed it up or slow it down.
    You can't modify a clip when it's just in an Event.

  • How do you fast forward a video in iMovie?

    I don't mean while viewing it I mean as a part of the actual video. Like say I was making of video of curling my hair...But didnt want the people watching to have to watch me for 20 minutes do my hair so as a part of the "youtube" video I wanted to let them see briefly what I was doing but fast forward through it.

    Hi. Go into your project and select the part you want to speed up. Then click inside the clip and pull up the clip inspector (clip adjustments). Half way down is a speed adjustment where you can adjust things and make it go faster or slower.

  • How can you set up chapters in Imovie, then Idvd?

    I have slides, I brought them into Imovie, made my movie, then successfully brought it into Idvd, but when I play the dvd, I have not access to any controls, like pause or FF to next slide.
    Can anyone let me know what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks.

    Not sure. However, once you bring pics into imovie and export it...its a movie...there are not slides. You should be able to fast forward using your remote control just like any dvd. In order to make chapters, you need to manually add them in imovie by turning on advanced controls in preferences. This will enable chapter markers. You can then pick chapters off the main menu in Idvd.

  • I have downloaded five hours of video of my band playing and have edited it down to two hours but I can't fast forward it or jump to the next song. what do I need to do. Also is there anyway to eq the sound before making a dvd

    I have edited five hours of my band playing and after burning a dvd it won't fast forward or go to the next song. what do I need to do. Also is there a way to add eq to the video before I burn it. (the bass is weak)

    Hi Steve,
    The following suggestions assume you are using iMovie '11 (but are also mostly applicable to iMovie '09 from memory - but not sure about the Equalizer).
    You mentioned in the topic header that you had edited the project down to 2 hours. In iDVD that is the maximum time allowed for a standard single layer DVD, including time taken for the theme and menus. Perhaps things are a bit tight, and you may need to shorten the project by a few minutes before exporting again for iDVD.
    Note that for the Best Performance setting the maximum duration is 1 hour. For 2 hours duration you need to use either High Quality or Professional Quality (the latter takes about twice as long to encode, as it does a 2 pass operation).
    In your iMovie project did you insert chapter markers for the beginning of each song? If so, don't place them within a transition. Also, don't insert a marker at the very beginning of the project - iDVD will do this for you automatically - all you need to do in iDVD is rename it. In case you aren't familiar with the markers, see this picture (just drag the marker onto the clip where you want the chapter to start, then give it a name in the marker box that appears):
    Regarding the Equalizer, in the iMovie project, double-click on the audio track to bring up the Inspector. Select Audio - you will see an Equalizer item. Use the Custom setting, or by clicking on the disclosure triangles (little arrow heads), you can choose from a range of presets. See this picture:
    Hope this helps!
