Changing the topic while on the clip

*I am using iMovie and it's really great except for one hitch- when I'm editing a clip with text on it, and I highlight the text, I can't seem to get it to work at all.*
*I open the fonts list, and click my needed font and size, then press the 'x' button and nothing happens.*
*I really need some help*!

After making your changes to the text, you need to click on the "Done" button in both the Inspector (if that's open) and the Viewer. I assume you are clicking on the "X" button in the Inspector in order to close the Inspector - don't do this - you must click on "Done" to save any changes you've made (the Inspector will then close).

  • RE: Help in changing the clip to match the sequence

    Hi All,
    I'm a novice using premiere Pro CS6 and having problems with something so hoping someone can advise.
    Basically I've imported some clips into the project folder. the first clip i imported into the timeline gave me a pop up saying this clip does not match the sequence settings. i had obviously chosen the wrong settings but premiere recognised the mistake and prompted me. Now I opted to change the sequence setting and the clip worked and fitted fully in the program panel when played on there.
    however when I choose another clip and drag it into the timeline, the clip has black sides and appears to be smaller in the program panel e.e. it is not fully fitted even tho the drop down is on 'fit' . I had no pop up asking me to change the clip to match sequence setting for this either.
    How else do I match this clip to the sequence if no pop up come up to change it?
    its prob well simple - but I cant work it out?? please help

    Hey tstormSierra,
    thanks for your ply.
    The problem is that the clip I first put on the timeline was from someone who filmed a boring long clip of a karate fight, so there were no camera angles or view points to play around with. So i basically made edits by making cuts in the clip andplaying around using scale and positioning to give the impression of other camera angles.
    Anyhow I cant delete that and put in the other clip as Ive worked hard on it already. I just wondered if there was a manual way of matching the sequence settings, cause all the clips are from the same camera and settings.
    In regards to scaling the frame size - i did this and it looked fine, but when I came to use the stabilizer in came up with clip needs to match the sequence settings or somethign like that. This is where I'm struggling cause I cant work out how to to match it.

  • How to change the clip's duration under imovie 10.0.3?

    How to change the clip's duration under imovie 10.0.3?

    This is a new feature introduced in 10.0.3 which works fine for me.  The old way was to select Modify - Fast Forward.  You can only select certain speed ratios but a slider should appear near the top of the clip which allows finer speed adjustment.  have you tried this?

  • Changing the clip board size?

    So I have this multipage document I am working on and I needed more pages so I added the artboards I need however then now go beyond the clip board size (see picture below), how do I change that?

    /\ this is a screen shot in Illustrator /\
    \/ this is a screen shot from Acrobat \/
    It seems that the page order in your pdf is related to the order they are created in Illustrator.
    This button in Acrobat changes whether Acrobat displays one page or a scrolling series of pages.

  • Always 100% Opacity after changing the clip speed.

    I have a big compositing problem with Premiere CC.
    After I change the speed of a clip to slow motion, I can't change the opacity anymore...
    I set keyframes from 100 to 0 %. It only works with my ProRes HQ Files in normal speed.
    Does anybody know this bug or have an idea???

    It actually works fine here, even without nesting, using both Speed/Duration and Time Remapping.
    Though I can't test with ProRes.

  • How do I change the clips in my Sequence from DV to 1280x720 422?

    Hello newbie-ish question here --Is there a way I can get a sequence back to the original footage's 1280x720 Apple 422 format from 720x480 DV? I thought it was set correctly but the default is DV and that's the way the sequence got edited. How can i get it back to 1280x720 Apple Pro Res 422? Thanks

    HI -
    Create a new sequence.
    Drag any one of your 1280x720 camera source clips to it. FCP will ask if you want to change the sequence settings to match the source. Say yes. Click on the clip that you just placed on the timeline and delete it. You now have an empty sequence with the proper sequence settings.
    Now return to your DV timeline, and clicking anywhere on it, type Command -A to select all the clips.
    Type Command - C to copy them.
    Now go to the new (empty) sequence you created with the proper settings, click anywhere in it and type Command - V to paste the clips from the DV sequence.
    If the video clips to not fill the canvas of your new sequence, then select all the video clips and Control - Click on any one of the selected clips. From the drop down menu choose Remove Attributes and from the Remove Attributes window that open, select the check boxes for Basic Motion and Distort and click OK.
    Post back if this does not work for you.

  • Color is changing the clips in and out points

    I tried to import into color a fcp7 sequence.  The original footage are quicktime clips.
    When the project opens in color, the in and out points of the clips are not there and it gives me the beginning of the clip.
    With other footage that I ingested in FCP I don't have a problem.
    Can someone explain this to me.
    Thanks

    >The original footage are quicktime clips.
    What FORMAT of Quicktime?  Because QT is just a container that can be one of a dozen codecs.  Color ony works with certain codecs, like ProRes, HDV, XDCAM, DVCPRO HD.  If the codec is anything but those...it will have serious problems.

  • How do I save a clipping path in Photoshop so that Quark gives me the option to change the path opti

    I created a clipping path on a photo, clipping out a person's head so that I can have the person's head show up over the masthead on a cover.
    But when I save the photo in Photoshop and then import it into Quark, the option where it says I can change the clipping options in Quark is greyed out.
    This is what it says to possibly fix it on the Quark help page:
    "You may want to choose "None" from the Clipping path pop-up menu when you save the image from Adobe Photoshop, so you can specify which path to use as the clipping path when you import the image into QuarkXPress. Or, you may want to choose a path from the Clipping path pop-up menu, so you can be sure only that path will be used to clip the image."
    I don't understand what that refers to....I can't find anything like that in the Photoshop options.
    My goal is to have the person's head over the text, with the rest of the photo still retained in the background. As it is now, I just get an import of the clipping path alone, with Quark substituting the background part of the photo with a white box.
    Thanks!

  • Why can't I change the lengh of a clip to 00:06 or anything below 1 second?

    I recently upgraded from iMovie 5 to version 6, and though there are a few more bells and whistles in the newer version its less user friendly and takes longer to create a project.
    My issues are:
    1. When importing images/photos to iMovie 6 it does not set import them at the specified length or size I requested.
    2. I cannot change the clip length for a group of images, intead having to resort to doing each clip at a time, in iMovie 5 the ability to select many images and reset the clip length for the group made edititing much easier.
    3. When using Photo Settings tool (with Ken Burns not selected) it does not allow the clip length to be changed to anything less than 1 second, if I enter 00:08 a message appears saying clips must be between 00:03 to 1:00 second, even though my request falls in the the time in the message it still does not apply the request, instead it generates a unique length of 00:29?
    4. How do I keep the Photo Settings tool in view instead of having to select it each time I want to change another clip, is there a way to keep windows I use often open?
    I hope some of you can help with some of these issues or share similiar experiences. I hope apple corrects these issues in a software update or the next iMove 7.

  • When I use Photoshop CS 6 to edit video, I don't know how to change video speed after I converted the clip to smart object?

    When I use Photoshop CS 6 to edit video, I don't know how to change video speed after I converted the clip to smart object? The clip color turns purple and it only allows me to add motion but not change the clip duration and speed anymore.

    Thanks for the reply and as a work around method I used the Photoshop to do all the adjustments then export the video to iMovie to finish the final cut. I also have a problem to paint or clone on a blank video layer created in Photoshop. It tells me the time is beyond the target frame time, I don't understand the message. Can you explain to me what did I do wrong? Thanks a lot!

  • Using photos and after adding transitions the clip length changes

    I am making a movie on imovie 11 and as I am adding transitions and music each time I add or change the clip duration changes.  I have it set at a particular time but it changes regardless.  I keep having to change durations of transitions and photo clips in order to bring it back. 

    Try this...
    Click EDIT/TRANSITION OVERLAP
    FULL will borrow frames from the photos to make the transition. The project gets shorter.
    HALF will add frames to the transition so that the project stays the same overall length.

  • Changing the lenght of time of a clip

    I have placed a load of photographs into iMovie HD with Transitions between each one, and I have now added an audio track, is there any way I can simply drag the ends of each image in order to get each one to tie in with the music without having to manually work out the length of time for each transition and then type this into the box, as this is proving virtually impossible?

    Hi,
    I was about to ask this same question when I decided to search for it first -- I was already in the process of following Karl's great step-by-step instructions.
    Karl, I don't know if you have the ability to edit your original post, but the arrow pointing to the left to change the clip duration doesn't appear unless you have View->Show Clip Volume Levels [ ] unchecked.
    I'd recommend changing the initial setup portion of your hints to include the bullet point:
    * Set view preferences View->Show Clip Volume Levels to "unchecked"
    (or "off" or whatever verbage you think best fits, but it was driving me nuts that I couldn't change the length of time of my slides the way you recommended.)

    Hey thks for the reply,
    We were able to solve the problem by just restarting our database,
    i got some reference from the below link(pls refer to this topic:Changing the IP Address of a Metadata Repository Installation):
    [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/core.1111/e10105/host.htm#CHDHAEFE]
    but m still confused do i have to restart my database server each time i change the DB server that m pointing to in my weblogic console and if yes can you pls help me understand what change happens when the database restarts that makes this work.
    Another issue that m facing now is that after solving the above prb(by restarting the DB) m not able to deploy process's on to my server.

  • How do you change the speed of a detached audio clip?

    I have a piece of detached audio.  Video Frame rate is 23.98.  The piece of Video above it is Video Frame Rate 24.
    How do I change the speed of this detached audio clip?

    Nope, the Automatic Speed did not work.  I exported the XML, and then ran it through X2Pro to try and get my AAF, and it still spits out conform warnings/errors on those same spots.  Automatic Speed apparently did nothing helpful to my situation.  (Can Anyone explain Automatic Speed?)
    Will have to try going through Cinema Tools per the similar issues noted in this conversation: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/344/28007
    Curious to see what FCPX would do with this media, importing the 24p file to a 25 Project cause a noticeable shift in both time and pitch.
    I imported the time coded audio separately, and played it against the obviously speed and pitched changed video with embedded audio. The files did not sync.
    The audio remained in time and pitch, while the video didn't. So the audio tc doesn't seem to effect playback in FCPX, but video definitely does, and it seems rather buggy.
    So, if your video is 24.0 and your audio is 23.98 and you are in a 23.98 timeline, FCPX might be changing the speed of the video without really reporting it. Resetting speed doesn't do anything, hitting "automatic speed" screws it up a bit more (it goes the wrong way). Changing the speed to something like 96% (FCPX reports 96% but I know it's really ((24000/1001)/25) which is just short of 96%. Turning off the "preserve pitch" checkbox actually pitched the audio back to normal.
    I didn't create the 24.0 vs 23.9 media that you have, but perhaps you are having similar issues, or a different combination/permutation therein.
    But to answer your question, the time coded audio was not changed, only embedded audio.
    and
    But here some notes which makes things hopefully clearer.
    Resampling and changing playback speed are two totally different things.
    Samplerate for audio is the same as fps for video (not dpi for video) so let's call it sps.
    You can record audio at any sampling rate. But let's take 48 kHz and 32 kHz here.
    Record 60 seconds. Once recorded both files as stand alone files will play 60 seconds.
    But forced to play back in a NLE timeline with a fixed sps of 48 the first file will playback correctly. The second one will play at 2/3 of the time (32/48). The other way round the 48 sps file will play longer in a 32 sps timeline.
    Now for those poor guys who have to work with NTSC:
    A real world second is not a second in NTSC video world. Its 1001/1000 seconds.
    So selecting a 48k sps audio preset in a timeline preset means that a real world audio of 60 seconds is only 1000/1001x60. That means that those 60 seconds are only 59.94 seconds long. Its too short.
    One way - if you stay strictly in NTSC - is to record audio with 48048 Hz. This way a real world 1 second audio will match a 1 second NTSC video.
    Next option with BWAVE files is to change the playback settings in the BEXT header of the file. This won't resample the file!!!
    Now about the TC. BWAVE doesn't have a TC in a way you're used when handling video. It has a timestamp in the header. This timestamp contains the Samples after Midnight. Based on that the NLE will convert this to TC which can be displayed. So in NTSC world this might give a wrong interpretation.
    For example if you have a "Start TC" of 00:10:00:00 (thats what you see on your audio recorder) it means that using 48kHz the timestamp is at 600x48,000 = 28,800,000 samples. Since the real sampling rate in the timeline though is 48048 Hz you have to divide the source stamp by this number. This results in 9.99000999000999 minutes. So for a 23.976 fps project this is a TC of 00:09:59:10.
    So setting the Bext header and/or iXML chunk to the correct playback speed will keep everything intact. Again this is without resampling!
    Using an AIFF there aren't these options.
    So you can edit all the stuff without resampling when using BWAVE. But resampling will happen when you export a final movie.

  • I can't change the volume of the sound over time within a clip.

    I want to adjust the level of the sound within a clip. I take my pen tool and just add 2 keyframes a few seconds apart from eachother. I adjust the height of the last keyframe, but when I playback NOTHING happends. This is so annoying because it has always worked. I use Premiere Pro 5.5.

    I'm having the same problem. The volume controls and volume keyframes suddenly stop working. I've been having it occur a lot, both on my 2011 iMac running Mavericks and my 2013 MacBook Pro Retina running Mountain Lion, two entirely different systems. It seems to start happening at random while editing projects, and I can't figure out how to make it stop.
    I attached a screenshot to show the audio meters displaying loud sound output, even though sole unmuted track has keyframes all the way down at "negative infinity" decibels.
    I have done the following things to troubleshoot:
    -restarted computer, restarted premiere
    -re-rendered the sequence
    -tried removing and reapplying volume keyframes
    -double check that the track volume is untouched, at 0db
    -double check that the master volume is untouched, at 0db
    -checked that the volume control bypass is not on
    -tried muting and unmuting the track
    -tried on a different operating system
    However, changing the audio gain (by ctrl-clicking on the audio track, and changing the entire gain of the clip), does still work.
    Thanks for any help.

  • How do you change the background color not of the video clip, but the background the clip is on?

    How do you change the background color upon which the clip resides...
    I don't want to change anything within the clip itself, but the matte(?)
    from black to white or cream.
    I am working with Elements 10...

    Create a color matte of the desired color and place it on video track 1.  Then place your video on track 2.
    from here: Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Creating specialty clips
    Create a colored matte for a background
    You can create a clip consisting of a full‑frame matte of solid color, which you can use as a solid background for titles or animated clips.
    Brightly colored mattes can serve as temporary backgrounds to help you see transparency more clearly while you adjust a key effect.
    Click Project Assets. 
    In the Project Assets panel, click New Item from the panel options and choose Color Matte. 
    Choose a color in the Adobe Color Picker dialog box, and click OK. 
    A color matte clip is placed into both the Project Assets panel and the Expert view timeline.
