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.

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.

Is there a way to fast forward the movie clip, so it shows as fast forward.

Is there a way to fast forward the movie clip, so it shows as fast forward in the final clip, please help. (iMovie 08')

In iMovie 08 - the answer is no. It does not have the video fx that were in iMovie 06. You can get iMovie 06 as a free download, if you already have iLife '08. Then you have access to a much better programme for doing the editing tasks you want.

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.

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

Really? I need to check that out!
You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.

How many times can you watch a rented movie in iTunes?

Title describes the question. I'm thinking about either buying or renting a movie in iTunes, so question is how many times can you watch a rented movie? Just once? X times within a given timeframe? Thanks,

You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library. Happy movie watching!

Yes but make sure to read the iTunes movie rental link you posted from > iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)

HT1657 Can you watch a rented movie in flight

Can you watch a rented movie from iTunes in flight?

Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.
You may need to validate the rental prior to watching so it starts the rental period timer and for that you will need an internet connection. You can probably do that by starting the rented movie while on the Airport Wifi or right before leaving home. You'll have 24 hours to watch the movie after you start it.

Note: 24 hours time limit is for United States customer only, while 48 hours for other countries.
