Changing date on a video clip in iMovie.

I'm having trouble changing the date on videos that I drop into iMovie. If I change the date once, and then try to amend it later, it will only move it to the day's current date. It never seems to accept another date other than the one I first used. This makes cateloging new additions of clips very difficult. Am I doing something wrong or can you only change the date once on any given clip. My only solution seems to be bringing in the footage all over again and this is horribly time consuming. I appreciate any help anyone can give me on this problem.

Hi pdfac - you will find that the culprit is the effect that you have added. Photos without added effects will display in the Photos Pane, but those with an effect added will not. It will be necessary to remove the effect. Just select the pic in the Timeline or Clips View, and hit 'Delete. That removes the effect but not the pic. Now the duration can be adjusted. If you have added effects to quite a few that need duration adjustments, by selecting them all, you can do the operation all at one go.
Note - you do not have to trash the photos and start again!
You cannot change the duration by double-clicking, because the pics have become video clips, as a result of having the Ken Burns box ticked. The quality is best if the box IS ticked.

    If you right click on your clip, does it offer to Optimize Video? If so, after you optimize you can change the speed.

  • Is there a way to see the date of a video clip?

    When importing video clips into iMovie, you can see the date in which the clip was shot. I don't see a way to view the original date in Final Cut Xpress 4. Let me know if I'm missing something or if it just isn't available in FCX 4.
    Thanks,
    Rob

  • Procedure and Format for emailing a short video clip from iMovie 08

    I use one of the new Panasonic HiDef AVCHD digital video cameras. iMovie 08 works great, no complaints there. From time to time I would like to email very short (5-20 second) video clips, rather than putting them up on iWeb, YouTube, etc.
    There are so many "sharing" options, and I haven't had much luck with emailing these short clips. Many of the recipients are Windows users, so I'm not sure QuickTime is the answer. What is the best way to email short video clips from iMovie 08?

    What is the best way to email short video clips from iMovie 08?
    Assuming you and your recipients' mail clients all allow attachments up to 10 MBs, then a 20-second clip can have a combined data rate of up to 500 KB/s (4.0Mbit/s). This means you can use any share/export compressions format option available to you from within iMovie '08. Therefore, the real question becomes, what compression formats can your recipients play. Have you tried asking them to see if there is a single compression format that everyone can play? If no QT compression format is compatible everyone, then you will likely have to perform a secondary conversion to one that will be compatible. H.264/AAC would provide the smallest files for a given level of quality but require QT 7 (or similar multi-media player). MPEG4/AAC would probably be the most compatible format you can export directly from within iMovie '08. (Would have recommended Sorenson 3/IMA but data rate limitation appears to be ignored.) MPEG-1 files can probably be played by everyone but have higher data rate requirements which may restrict files to SD dimensions and require additional software to create external to iMovie '08. DivX or WMV would probably make your Windows users happy but requires Mac users to have a compatible component for viewing in the QT Player.
    Try the "Export using QuickTime" Share menu option ("Movie to MPEG-4") settings:
    Video
    MP4 File Type
    MPEG-4 Improved Compressor
    Data rate in the range from 1,000 (640x480) to 3800 (near HD dimensions)
    Current (or user specified) dimensions
    Current Frame Rate
    Key Frame every 24 frames
    Audio:
    AAC-LC Music
    Mono
    64 Kbps Data Rate
    44.1 KHz Sampling Rate

    How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?  (The clips are in a .mov format, they have been imported / converted into this format in iMovie, original files were from a JVC camcorder in some other strange format.)

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

  • Can I edit out the middle of a video clip in iMovie?

    I know how to crop the beginning or end of a video, but I would like to crop out a section in the middle. I don't want to lose the part following the cropped frames. What must I do? Thanks for any advice you can offer. Miriam

    Can I edit out the middle of a video clip in iMovie?
    Yes.
    What must I do?
    Basically you have three options:
    1) If the clip is in the "Event" window, simply select (i.e., set and adjust if necessary "in" and 'out" points) the segment you want and transfer it to your "Project" window and place it where you want it.
    2) If the clip is already in the "Project" window, simply select (i.e., set and adjust if necessary "in" and 'out" points) the segment you want to keep...
    a) and press the "Split" option in the edit menu (or the "Split Clip" option in the context menu) to divide the clip into three segments. Then select each of the segments you don't want and press the "Delete" key to remove them from the "Project" window.
    b) or, even easier, simply press the "Trim to Selection" option in the "Edit" menu.
    All of these work flows do not physically remove anything from the "Event" but merely perform a non-destructive edit of the project for the purpose of later output.

  • Is it possible to control the duration of a video clip in IMovie? Speed

    Is it possible to control the duration of a video clip in IMovie? Speed
    it up/slow it down?

    I actually think the content gets smoother in faster mode. But maybe that's just my opinion.
    By the way, the fast/slow/reverse effect is pretty sensitive, i use it for my fight scenes in movies and I can only raise the bar one notch faster before it starts to look cheesy.

  • How can i decrease the fuzziness of my video clip in imovie?

    I have imported video clips into imovie and when i crop out the background so the person is closer, it becomes fuzzy ... so i uncropped the clip and now i have exported the video using quick time and chose the 1920 x 1080 HD size which made it a little better although still kind of fuzzy ... when the screen is small, it is clear ... just want to know if there is something else i can look at ... thanks everyone!!

  • How do I display the complete time sequence for a video clip in iMovie?

    How do I display the time complete time sequence for a video clip in iMovie?
    I'm trying to create a movie for someone where they provided me the video clips and what time sequences they want extracted.  For example:  Video footage from time 5m22s to 9m:18s and 11m17s to 15m31s from the imported video clip.  I know you can select video but I cannot figure out how to select from those requested time markers.
    Any help would be apreciated.

    Open the file using QuickTime Player and then open the Movie Inspector window.

  • 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.

  • Slowing down or expanding a video clip in iMovie for iPhone 4

    Is there a way to expand a short video clip in iMovie for iPhone 4? I can expand a still image, but not a video clip. I would like to take a video clip that lasts 2 seconds and expand it to 15 seconds or longer. The video clip could be slowed down.
    I can do this with still images, so I would think I would be able to do this with video clips. For example, when I insert a still image it defaults to 2 seconds with the ken burns effect. I can then expand or shorten the still image to last as long as I want (from 2 seconds to 10 seconds, for example). However, when I insert a short video clip I am not given that option. When I grab the crop button and try to expand the video clip it stops at the end of the clip.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks Joe, hopefully Apple adds this feature to iMovie soon.
