How do I delete video clips from imovie on IPAD?

BTW, I went into Photo and deleted most of the unwanted videos and photos but 1 photo stubbornly stays in the area for editing and I can't find a way to close it in order to delete it. Help!

When you delete a clip in iMovie where does it go

When you delete a clip in iMovie where does it go? Is there a trash in imovie?

Where are you deleteing from? Deleting clips from an Event moves them to the Trash.
Deleteing from a Project only removes it from the project and not from the source Event.
(I'm refereing to iMovie '11)

Changing duration of a photo clip in iMovie 5.0.2

I can't change the duration of my photo clips consistently. Sometimes when I highlight a clip it shows in the photo pane (top right) and I can then use the speed slider bar which in 5.0.2 is underneath the small photo.
However, often the clip I want does NOT show in the photo pane -- I see the very first clip I imported with its duration. So I have to delete the clip, and import it again, redo the effect and the transition -- isn't there an easier way?
(In 5.0.2 when one double clicks the clip, all you get is the information about the clip, with no means to change the duration.)
Thank you!

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.

Deleting iphoto clips in imovie

In Imovie, I can see and edit my iphoto videos. If i delete these iphoto clips within imove, are they deleted completely or do they remain in iphoto? Thanks so much for your help.

Thank you SO MUCH. That will explain why, when I have copied an iphoto clip (within imovie) to an imovie event and then deleted the iphoto clip (within imovie), suddenly my hard drive filled up to capacity. So it sounds like I need to go to iphoto and delete that clip, in order to save space. This leads me to 2 further questions:
1 - If i have copied the iphoto clip into an imovie event, will it remain in my imovie event if I delete it from iphoto? I don't want to lose these clips, I just want to tidy up my video clips and would rather keep them in imovie events than iphoto, if thats possible.
2 - If I delete the clip from iphoto but have used some bits of it in an imovie project - will it delete only the unused sections of that clip and where will it store the used clips if I delete the source clip in iphoto?
Hope these questions make sense and cannot thank you enough for helping me.

Trying to delete a clip makes iMovie glitch out.

I selected a clip in the source window at the bottom and hit COMMAND-DELETE to get rid of it. The first time, it removed all of the UI elements from the iMovie window except for the preview window and the button for the camera. Everything else was grey.
Second time trying to delete the clip, iMovie just shut down.

To delete a clip from a project, select it, right-click, choose Delete Selection.
To delete a clip from an Event, choose the Reject tool in the middle tool bar. Mark the sections you wish to Reject. They will have a red marking under them. Go to the dropdown menu at the bottom and choose Rejected Clips Only. Here you can review everything you have rejected and select "Move Rejected Clips To Trash."
I haven't seen Command-Delete in the documentation anywhere. I don't know what that would do. If you could point it out to me I would like to read about it.

How do I delete a clip in Imovie and start over

I have a small clip that I am playing with and want to delete it and start over. I am new to this but find it hard to erase my mistakes. Thank You

Greetings rwj53,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to delete a selected clip in iMovie. To accomplish this, please use the instructions for “Move to Trash” listed in the Manage projects and events section of the attached link.
Keyboard shortcuts - iMovie Help
Move to Trash
Moves the selected clip, movie, trailer, or event to the Trash. If only part of a clip is selected, the entire clip is moved to the Trash.
Command-Delete

What can be done to avoid getting the following error when trying to delete unused clips he operation could not be completed. *** -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil

what can be done to avoid getting the following error when trying to delete unused clips in Imovie 09 "the operation could not be completed. *** -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil" I use to get these type of error messages when trying to delete unsused clips from a large event 60 minutes or longer, but now I get this message when trying to reduce a 4 minute event.
Also, does anyone know if there is a limit to the total amount of space that can be taken up by Projects in Imovie 09
Thanks for any help

Zachy,
It goes something like this...
Put your new drive in the enclosure. Use Disk Utility to format it, etc. I'd give it a slightly different name than the original. Let's say you have Old Disk and New Disk as your drive names. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy Old Disk to New Disk. Now you should have an exact copy, which you can test by rebooting and holding down the Option key. Choose New Disk from the list and let it boot, make sure all is well.
Shut down and physically swap the drives. Take Old Disk and put it in the enclosure. Now your system has a new disk with a lot more space and you can reformat your old disk and just use it for large files or whatever.

I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. What can I do?

I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. Some clips are fine in the movie, but most are just black and when I hover over them, it says source clip missing. How to I fix this? Thank You

I did that too, then I did a migration assistant to a new Mac and ALL of my movies have Source Clip Missing now, even though the original clips are still in the iPhoto Videos. I can stand to re edit one or two projects, but not ALL.

How to get multiple photos as one clip in imovie?

i have 13 school photos that i want to include in an imovie slideshow project. i wanted them to scroll from left to right, but can't seem to get them all in one clip. is there a way to do this? i found a way to do it by adding all 13 pictures into one photo using photobucket, but when i import that massive photo into imovie, it is such poor quality that it isn't worth it. please help. i'm going crazy over here.

In that case, I have never done this before, but here is how I would approach it.
In Photoshop, or similar app, I would create a photo that is 1080pixels high or bigger and wide enough to hold all pictures.
I would place all photos in here and export as a single photo.
In iMovie, I would set the image to Ken Burns, with the starting rectangle on the first photo, and the ending rectangle on the last photo.

Can't Delete Clips in iMovie

I was running an iDVD project and trying to edit an iMovie slideshow when iDVD stopped responding and I force quit from it. I then tried to Delete a clip from the iMovie project I was working on and it won't do it. Neither will trying edit-->clear. I have restarted twice and deleted iMovie preferences and it still won't work.
What have I done and how can I fix this?

I couldn't figure out how to fix this - something was corrupted, so I just started over and made an identical iMovie project to import into iDVD and trashed the old one.
Solved!

Hallo!! how can i delete a rejected clip in iMovie 10.0.7?? Or is it not possible??

You can delete a complete clip which is not in use in any project by right-clicking it and choosing "move to trash". It won't actually appear in the trash can but will be permanently deleted when you quit iMovie.

I can take video made in Photo Booth and use in my Smilebox greetings and I can use photos from iPhoto to use there also. I have not been able to figure out how to take clips from iMovie for that.

For anyone who has used "Smilebox" for greeting cards: I can take video made in Photo Booth and use in my Smilebox greetings and I can use photos from iPhoto to use there also. I have not been able to figure out how to take clips from iMovie for use with Smilebox.

command-shift-3 will create a .png file on your desktop of your screen. You can also do command-shift 4 and crop the image.

IMovie "lost" two clips in my 20-minute project, but I did NOT delete any clips...?!?!?

This is for iMovie on iPhone 4.
Basically I've put HOURS into editing a 20-minute movie on my phone. This is intentionally on my phone just for the sake of being able to say "I shot these clips and photos and edited the movie entirely on my phone", in case you're wondering why I'd do this crazy task. haha
Anyway.. so.. I load up the project today (after having not looked at it for months) and now suddenly two clips are shown as no longer being existant. Now.. I definitely have NOT removed these clips - in fact a quick check with Image Capture (or simply looking in my photo album) proves that they are ALL still on the phone.
Is there any way for, for one thing, to see what exact filename (like IMG_0123.MOV) the clips were? Or SOMETHING? It would honestly take me a couple of hours to track down the exact clips because of how many different video clips are in this movie, and I'd have to eliminate them one by one. Not to mention having to re-place them into the movie manually and *try* to remember how I had trimmed the clips. ARGH
Hope anyone can offer some help on this... definitely not impressed at all...

I've also manually gone through and visually counted every single file. There is not a single file missing in the numbering sequence ( IMG_0640 all the way to IMG_0936 ).
The ONLY thing I can think of is that, a week or so ago, the iPhone randomly decided to "rebuild your photo library" for some reason (probably because I have a few thousand photos/clips). However, ALL files are still present, so it would not make sense that iMovie randomly can't see files that are certainly there....
