Cannot access precision editor in iMovie 10.0.5

I am using iMovie 10.0.5 and am in the timeline of a new project and would like to preserve the length of my movie after adding transitions.
I hace double clicked on the space between each clip and there is a visual change and the option to close prec. ed. but no way of using the pref. ed.
How can I use the facility to preserve clip length?
Thanks in advance and apologies if this has been covered already.

Thanks for the tip QuickTimeKirk.  Out of curiosity: does this mean that it is no longer possible to create camera archives in the latest version of iMovie?  Or with the changes in the iMovie platform, is it enough with simply dragging the AVCHD package into your laptop?

    Thanks so much! I am backing up the entire computer now with an external hard drive - this should be fine right? And surely if I am backing up the whole computer these projects/videos will be backed up too? I wasn't sure how to do this any other way and I am clearly not great with tech issues. Once this is done and I am sure my projects/videos are safe I will do the delete and reinstall bit. Thanks for taking the time to help

  • Imovie precision editor

    I have just started using imovie.
    I watched the video tutorials
    I am trying to access the "precision editor" as shown in video 5 on the imovie tutorials page.
    It doesn't seem to be available
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    To use the Precision Editor in iMovie 08:
    1) It is context sensitive, so you must have started a project, and you must have dragged one or more clips into the project.
    2) Click on one of the clips in the project to select it. Now right-click (or control-click) on the clip, and select "Trim...".
    3) The Precision Editor will pop up. You can make your edit, and then click "Done".
    For step 2, you can also use Edit/Trim... from the menu. Alternatively, you can hold down the command key and press R

  • Help,Intermittent problems accessing the Editor in Elements 10

    Sometimes when I try to access the Editor,either  from the Organizer or directly, it will let me in and I can then edit several images, without any problems. Then without warning it fails, and I cannot access the Editor in any of the editing Modes. The only way I have been able to to overcome the problem is to come out of Elements and  Reboot my PC, then re enter Elements and start afresh.
    I am using a Sony Vaio PC with wndows7 Home Premium, and AVG security. I have also fairly recently installed a Bambo Pen and Touch tablet, but I think the problem stems back from before that installation.
    I am not very "computer literate" but any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.
    John.

    Try this:
    Bypass the Unwelcome Screen by creating Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor, and restarting your computer.
    The Editor's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    The Organizer's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    The Unwelcome Screen leaves a zombie process running which prevents the actual program from launching again.

  • IMovie won't display precision editor

    I had been using iMovie 10.0.04 and clicked on a command that caused the video downloaded files to go to the bottom half of the screen and the viewer to go to the top. I tried to open the precision editor and the command is inactive (gray not bold black). How do I get back to the precision editor?

    Re-formatting should take care of it!
    Connect the external drive and then launch Disk Utility found in Applications/Utilities. Your external drive while show up in Disk Utility's side bar.
    Then select it and click the 'Erase tab' at the top.
    Select Mac OS Extended-Journaled formatting from the Volume Format menu.
    Then click the oval Erase button at the lower right. *Just remember-this will erase the drive!*

  • IMovie  Cannot Access your Photos or videos - To enable access..blah blah..doesnt work

    The error I am receiving is ...
    iMovie cannot access your photos or videos
    To enable access open the Settings app, tap location services and set the imovie switch to ON
    I have done this and continue to get the message.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I am using an IPad with OS 6.01

    OH AND it started happening when I went to IOS 6.01
    IT was working fine before that time.

  • IMovie cannot access library without location services - Why?

    So this is the error message I get when trying to use iMovie for iPhone - "iMovie cannot access your photos or videos" "To enable access, open the settings app, tap General, then tap Location Services and then set the iMovie switch to 'On'." (pic - http://twitpic.com/2269ze ).The question is "Why?" What if I don't want my videos to include geo location data? Why does iMovie need location services to start a project? It doest make any sense to me. I understand that some of the themes may have features for using location data, but shouldn't that be at the users discretion?

    I find this rather odd as well. I keep location services turned off for the camera so why iMovie would need to access data that isn't there is beyond me. I think it's just poor programing on Apple's part. It would be just as easy to ignore any location data if you have that turned off and you happen to pick a picture or video that has it embedded.

  • DI imported an mpeg4 video into iMovie 10.0.5 and the Precision Editor is grayed out and I can't edit.  Why??

    I imported an mpeg34 video into iMovie 10.0.5 and I am unable to edit it.  Precision Editor and Clip Trimmer are grayed out.  Any idea why this is happening?

    Did you get any joy with answering this?
    My first thought was that maybe when you imported you chose to leave the files  in place rather than copy then to the iMovie library..but I can't see where that option is now.
    I too have created a short movie from load f clips..but can't export or share either..the 'Share 'menu is empty..you go to it and no sub menu appears.

  • Cannot access Editor part of Photoshop Elements 13

    Just bought and installed Photoshop Elements 13. Organiser works fine but when attempting to use Editor it asks for sign in and then tries to connect to internet and fails although connection is fine otherwise.

    I still have no answers to this request and still have no access to Editor part of Elements 13. Some weeks have passed now since purchasing this product and still unable to use it. Tried the chat support from Adobe but after 55 min and only basic questions being asked after 5-15min response delays, I was forced to end the chat.

  • Cannot access file from JApplet

    I have used the swingall.jar file with my JApplet for any
    version of IE. It gives one error
    i.e
    Cannot access file c:\prog\project
    I want to create a directory within c:\prog and also i want
    to write some files there. Pls help me.

    try this my friend!
    1.     Compile the applet
    2.     Create a JAR file
    3.     Generate Keys
    4.     Sign the JAR file
    5.     Export the Public Key Certificate
    6.     Import the Certificate as a Trusted Certificate
    7.     Create the policy file
    8.     Run the applet
    Susan
    Susan bundles the applet executable in a JAR file, signs the JAR file, and exports the public key certificate.
    1.     Compile the Applet
    In her working directory, Susan uses the javac command to compile the SignedAppletDemo.java class. The output from the javac command is the SignedAppletDemo.class.
    javac SignedAppletDemo.java
    2.     Make a JAR File
    Susan then makes the compiled SignedAppletDemo.class file into a JAR file. The -cvf option to the jar command creates a new archive (c), using verbose mode (v), and specifies the archive file name (f). The archive file name is SignedApplet.jar.
    jar cvf SignedApplet.jar SignedAppletDemo.class
    3.     Generate Keys
    Susan creates a keystore database named susanstore that has an entry for a newly generated public and private key pair with the public key in a certificate. A JAR file is signed with the private key of the creator of the JAR file and the signature is verified by the recipient of the JAR file with the public key in the pair. The certificate is a statement from the owner of the private key that the public key in the pair has a particular value so the person using the public key can be assured the public key is authentic. Public and private keys must already exist in the keystore database before jarsigner can be used to sign or verify the signature on a JAR file.
    In her working directory, Susan creates a keystore database and generates the keys:
    keytool -genkey -alias signFiles -keystore susanstore -keypass kpi135 -dname "cn=jones" -storepass ab987c
    This keytool -genkey command invocation generates a key pair that is identified by the alias signFiles. Subsequent keytool command invocations use this alias and the key password (-keypass kpi135) to access the private key in the generated pair.
    The generated key pair is stored in a keystore database called susanstore (-keystore susanstore) in the current directory, and accessed with the susanstore password (-storepass ab987c).
    The -dname "cn=jones" option specifies an X.500 Distinguished Name with a commonName (cn) value. X.500 Distinguished Names identify entities for X.509 certificates.
    You can view all keytool options and parameters by typing:
    keytool -help
    4.     Sign the JAR File
    JAR Signer is a command line tool for signing and verifying the signature on JAR files. In her working directory, Susan uses jarsigner to make a signed copy of the SignedApplet.jar file.
    jarsigner -keystore susanstore -storepass ab987c -keypass kpi135 -signedjar SSignedApplet.jar SignedApplet.jar signFiles
    The -storepass ab987c and -keystore susanstore options specify the keystore database and password where the private key for signing the JAR file is stored. The -keypass kpi135 option is the password to the private key, SSignedApplet.jar is the name of the signed JAR file, and signFiles is the alias to the private key. jarsigner extracts the certificate from the keystore whose entry is signFiles and attaches it to the generated signature of the signed JAR file.
    5.     Export the Public Key Certificate
    The public key certificate is sent with the JAR file to the whoever is going to use the applet. That person uses the certificate to authenticate the signature on the JAR file. To send a certificate, you have to first export it.
    The -storepass ab987c and -keystore susanstore options specify the keystore database and password where the private key for signing the JAR file is stored. The -keypass kpi135 option is the password to the private key, SSignedApplet.jar is the name of the signed JAR file, and signFiles is the alias to the private key. jarsigner extracts the certificate from the keystore whose entry is signFiles and attaches it to the generated signature of the signed JAR file.
    5: Export the Public Key Certificate
    The public key certificate is sent with the JAR file to the whoever is going to use the applet. That person uses the certificate to authenticate the signature on the JAR file. To send a certificate, you have to first export it.
    In her working directory, Susan uses keytool to copy the certificate from susanstore to a file named SusanJones.cer as follows:
    keytool -export -keystore susanstore -storepass ab987c -alias signFiles -file SusanJones.cer
    Ray
    Ray receives the JAR file from Susan, imports the certificate, creates a policy file granting the applet access, and runs the applet.
    6.     Import Certificate as a Trusted Certificate
    Ray has received SSignedApplet.jar and SusanJones.cer from Susan. He puts them in his home directory. Ray must now create a keystore database (raystore) and import the certificate into it. Ray uses keytool in his home directory /home/ray to import the certificate:
    keytool -import -alias susan -file SusanJones.cer -keystore raystore -storepass abcdefgh
    7.     Create the Policy File
    The policy file grants the SSignedApplet.jar file signed by the alias susan permission to create newfile (and no other file) in the user's home directory.
    Ray creates the policy file in his home directory using either policytool or an ASCII editor.
    keystore "/home/ray/raystore";
    // A sample policy file that lets a JavaTM program
    // create newfile in user's home directory
    // Satya N Dodda
    grant SignedBy "susan"
         permission java.security.AllPermission;
    8.     Run the Applet in Applet Viewer
    Applet Viewer connects to the HTML documents and resources specified in the call to appletviewer, and displays the applet in its own window. To run the example, Ray copies the signed JAR file and HTML file to /home/aURL/public_html and invokes Applet viewer from his home directory as follows:
    Html code :
    </body>
    </html>
    <OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
    width="600" height="400" align="middle"
    codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/jinstall-13-win32.cab#Version=1,3,1,2">
    <PARAM NAME="code" VALUE="SignedAppletDemo.class">
    <PARAM NAME="archive" VALUE="SSignedApplet.jar">
    <PARAM NAME="type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet;version=1.3">
    </OBJECT>
    </body>
    </html>
    appletviewer -J-Djava.security.policy=Write.jp
    http://aURL.com/SignedApplet.html
    Note: Type everything on one line and put a space after Write.jp
    The -J-Djava.security.policy=Write.jp option tells Applet Viewer to run the applet referenced in the SignedApplet.html file with the Write.jp policy file.
    Note: The Policy file can be stored on a server and specified in the appletviewer invocation as a URL.
    9.     Run the Applet in Browser
    Download JRE 1.3 from Javasoft
    save this to write.jp
    keystore "/home/ray/raystore";
    // A sample policy file that lets a JavaTM program
    // create newfile in user's home directory
    // Satya N Dodda
    grant {
    permission java.security.AllPermission;

    iMovie for Mac: "iMovie cannot open files in the "iMovie for iOS Project" format."
    iMovie for iOS: "An error occurred during export."
    Frustration
    Manufacturer: Apple (a multibillion dollar company)
    The year: 2015
    Hours lost: Three Weeks
    Total costs for both devices: $4,000
    Background Details
    I just wasted thousands of dollars on these two hardware devices by making the rookie mistake of assuming projects were compatible across iMovie applications. However, the exported .iMovieMobile project files are in an incompatible iMovie for iOS Project format that iMovie for Mac cannot import. So I am stuck with a 15 GB .iMovieMobile project file--for an hour-long+ video--that I created and I was editing on my iPhone for weeks that I can no longer edit on my iPhone due to an error, nor potentially rescue the lost hours on my Mac, the sole reason I purchased it one day ago. The reason I can no longer edit the project on the iPhone is because iMovie for iOS suddenly stopped displaying the video of the project in preview, external display, etc. The clip snapshots remain visible and the audio remains audible, but the video appears fully black. Any attempt to export the video at any resolution generates an error message. (This error applies only to this project; other projects export without issue.) I can save to and from iTunes or iCloud without issue, but import into iMovie for Mac is unavailable for this latest version. Deleting and reinstalling the app does not resolve the issue. Nothing has resolved this issue; so I purchased the Mac as a last attempt, and it appears that I will have to begin the meticulously painful process of recreating the video from scratch with all the titling, sound effects, precise edits, transitions, organization, etc. This video was to surprise my mother for her birthday with "this is your life" footage, including my late father. It may seem like a small first-world problem, but such things carry big emotional impacts. What began as such a wonderfully intuitive and joyful experience has descended into a soul-suffering nightmare of catastrophic proportions. This software grinch stole christmas.
    Likely Suspect
    I believe this originated from Apple's confusingly designed iTunes client that removed videos used by iMovie for IOS during a sync, which I successfully restored back to the iPhone. This apparently resulted in iOS seeking and then claiming to find all of the videos, but somehow a bug in the coding causes the audio to play but not display video, and no way to resolve the bug from an enduser standpoint. I was hoping that iMovie for Mac would allow me a workaround, but I'll never know because the iOS and Mac formats are currently and dishearteningly incompatible.
    Suggestions
    I never performed a full backup of the iPhone, but I don't believe any of the iCloud nor local backups actually backup iMovie projects themselves anyway. (That's a fail.) So one must back them up manually to iTunes or iCloud.
    MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS DAILY, IF NOT HOURLY.
    MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS BEFORE IMPORTING OR SYNCING FROM ITUNES.
    MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS BEFORE IMPORTING VIDEO CREATED OUTSIDE  OF YOUR IOS DEVICE.
    Resolutions
    Hope Apple fixes this problem soon? Perhaps.
    Return the Mac to Apple, if they allow? Perhaps.
    Someone in this community will provide a magical workaround--that I haven't already attempted? Perhaps.
    As unlikely these options may be, I shudder to imagine that I may be forced to suffer no resolution and $3,000+ completely down the drain, because if iMovie for IOS worked as intended, I wouldn't have ever purchased the Mac as a last ditch effort to rescue the project. It meant that much to me to surprise my mother by attempting to retrieve this project file from oblivion--but to no avail.

    I appreciate you taking the time to copy and paste boilerplate responses to increase your points in this forum, but I've already read all those support articles in depth; but you have barely read my post at all. Please don't guess a fix. Only someone with the latest versions of iMovie, iOS, iPhone, Yosemite, and MacBook Pro is qualified to troubleshoot this, because anyone would immediately see that the following option no longer exists:
    Open iMovie on your Mac, and choose File > Import > iMovie for iOS Project.
    Read my post before you reply: It clearly says in the title and within my post that I can neither export nor import through iTunes without receiving an error message. So your response neither solved my question nor helped me whatsoever.

  • Server with same Profile cannot access same networking

    Hi,
    I have a lab running 1 x Nexus 5010, 2 x FIC 6120'XP's, UCS 5108 and 2 x B200 M2 Blades. I have configured everything per flexpod guidelines (except I have only 1 Nexus). I boot from SAN over Fibre and zoning everything is working 100% My firmware is 2.1(1f)
    Question:
    Assinged to each blade is 2 vNICs connected to FabricA and FabricB (FabricA = port-channel from FICA to Nexus and FabricB = port-channel from FICB to Nexus - Nexus has 2 different port-channels conf for each link to each FIC)
    After I install VMware, I tag vlan 10 (management vlan) for the management traffic of each VMware node. The funny thing is when I ping server 2, iget a response but not from server 1. Both are configured using the same service profile. If I ping server 1 from server 2, I get a response. This leads me to believe that for some reason the traffic is not leaving the FIC from server 1, but it is when using server 2. I have attached screenshots of both servers vifpaths.
    Can someone please help urgently as this is driving me crazy as I do not know what the hell is going on.

    Hello
    Hope this solution will help.
    Just found my notes on deleting the users profile:
    "Deleted Profile logs back in with temporary profile.
    This problem occurs if the current user's profile was accidentally deleted from the system.
    Note: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry
    1. Log on to the system by using an administrative user account other than the user account that is experiencing the problem.
    2. Back up all data in the current user's profile folder if the profile folder still exists, and then delete the profile folder. By default, the profile resides in the following location:
    %SystemDrive%\Users\UserName
    3. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
    4.Locate the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
    5.Under the ProfileList subkey, delete the subkey that is named SID.bak.
    Note SID is a placeholder for the security identifier (SID) of the user account that is experiencing the problem. The SID.bak subkey should contain a ProfileImagePath registry entry that points to the original profile folder of the user account that is experiencing the problem.
    6. Exit Registry Editor.
    7. Log off the system.
