Is there a drawing function for iMovie

I would like to draw a line over a movie. Is it possible with iMovie?

Yes.
.. but, what Kirk meant: you can not draw it IN iMovie... you can add a line, you painted in any other app and place it 'over' a clip in iMovie.

Try-catch in draw-function

Hi and hello,
I'm creating a program that handels a lot of drawing. It happens that I get some objects that are null.
My old solution was that I made several if:s to see if some of the objects was null. The code was very ugly so I instead of the if:s i want to make a try-catch inside the draw-function.
Old code:
public void draw() {
DoStuffObject object1 = new DoStuffObject();
if (object1 == null)
return;
DoStuffObject object2 = new DoStuffObject();
if (object2 == null)
return;
DoStuffObject object3 = new DoStuffObject();
if (object3 == null)
return;
// Draw...
New code:
public void draw() {
try {
DoStuffObject object1 = new DoStuffObject();
DoStuffObject object2 = new DoStuffObject();
DoStuffObject object3 = new DoStuffObject();
catch (NullPointerException e) {
// Wrong
// Draw...
Is the try-catch a stupid sloution for some reason?
I think I have read that it was slowing down the process.
Thanks!
Erik

CeciNEstPasUnProgrammeur:
You don't need to care about the new DoStuffObject. I
was only trying to make my point with the try-catch
instead of the if:s.If I don't need to care about the code, why do you post it? It's very misleading.
We can say that I do getDoStuffObject() instead of
the new DoStuffObject() and the object I'm getting
may be null.Use the ifs, or better, refactor to create a model that your view simply has to draw - or have one method return a set of those objects to iterate over. Hard to tell what you need to do without knowing your code. But whatever it is, don't use exceptions. Some would say don't use multiple returns either.
if (a == null || b == null || c == null ...) {
// do stuff
}

Green screen function in imovie 10.0

Hello Everybody,
in older imovie editions you could unlock advance settings in imovie and then use green screen function for videos.
But now in my new imovie 10.0 i don't find advance settings and so i could not use this function for my videos.
Could anybody help?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Felix

The first step is to create a “connected clip.” When you add a green screen clip to the timeline, simply drag it above the clip you want it to appear on top of. Next, use the Adjustments Bar to set it as a green screen clip. Complete instructions are available here:

Drawing functions in LabView - howto?

Hello,
are there any possibilities in LabView (I have 6.1) to perform some
graphical operations?
I want to plot previously recorded data (text file) - it is an easy
task. But later I want to be able to include some functions to measure
peak data, distance between baseline and peak, draw some lines... How to
do that, are there any implemented tools for doing that?
Thanks for any help,
Wawosz

Hi,
You can also display data into a picture (Functions>Picture>Graphics &
Sound>Picture Plots). The result is a picture, and you can draw all
'primitives' in it.
Using the cursors in graphs, as Labviewguru suggested, is easier, but
functionality is limited.
Regards,
Wiebe.

Is it possible to draw arrows in imovie

is it possible to draw arrows in imovie

Yes,
Use iMovie 06 with the GeeThree Volume Six Plug-in. Then you can Draw or write anything you like on the video frame.

Which instant message software for apple supports drawing function?

I need this function for drawing forms or brainstorming concepts with my colleagues or clients. I've checked Messenger for Mac, Adium, aMSN, Yahoo Messenger, and none of these has this function. Anyone knows?

Very very poor "Tell a friend" function in iMovie '08

Hi guys,
I just got the iLife '08 software yesterday. And already I've found a few minor errors that can be fixed with an update. In iPhoto there's an excellent invitation made for Mail when you select the "Tell a friend" function, but the one in iMovie '08 is JUST text! Oops! In .Mac is you already have a movie uploaded and you want to send an invitation directly from the web-page it creates a very similar invitation to that of the iPhoto app. So please look into that.
Talking about the .mac gallery invitation, there's a problem there too. The invitation asks me for my email and the emails where I want to send the invitation, but when the invitation gets there, my friends don't see that I sent it but rather that .mac gallery sent the invitation, this has to be fixed because now a days a lot of people have some sort of blocker for spam, in the very least it should send the invitation with my .mac email account, so that my friends would know that it came from me. Thanks. I hope to see updates soon.

Is this a general problem or is it a bad installation on my part?

Side by Side function in iMovie 11

Have an issue with Side By Side function. Maybe this has been addressed before, But I want to do a Side by Side effect and use any kind of Transition before or after it. In this case just a simple fade to and from black.
The issue is this: After the fade up from black it shows a a very quick second of the original clip in the timeline and then the SBS effect pops in and then pops out at the last second before the fade out. I'm trying to get the "secondary" video clip to cover as much of the original clip as possible, but when I go too far it starts to cover the Transition.
I want to be able to fade in and out ALREADY ON THE EFFECT without the popping or even using the SBS slide effect.
How is this accomplished ? And, I am not using the "SBS Slide" either. It's not needed for what I want. I just want the split screen to be there for me already without it sliding over.
Thanks, Chris

no Sony camcorder records in mp2.
years ago, there were DVDcorders ... encoding in mp2,, but wrapped into .vob - this can not be fixed with Perian
... sorry for being so ... stubborn, but my assumption is, your wrong diagnosis 'mp2' leads to an unnecessary, obsolete and painstaking long workflow. again, no camcorder on the market records in mp2 (as long as I stand corrected! )
so, what Sony model, please?
I guess, there's a much more conveniant way importing your videos ...

After crearting thr freehand hand drawing, please tap on save which is present on top right corner.
After saving the free hand, tap on it(freehand drawing). A context menu will appear. Tap on "Color...". It will show you a list of colors. Tap on the color you want and that will change the color of the free hand drawing you created.

Problem with Zoom Function on iMovie on IPad2

I have been trying to make a slideshow.
When I select photos from Camera Roll only part of them appears in the Timeline and Viewer windows, even after I cancel the Ken Burns Effect.
When I try to increase the visible area of the photo by pinching in the Viewer window it simply bounces back.
Pinching in the Timeline window doesn't seem to work at all.

Rh certainly did get tested on an iPad and other mobile devices but using the correct format for those devices. In Rh10 you would have to create a Multiscreen Layout. In Rh11 you could create a Responsive Layout which is much easier and designed to work on any device, PC, Android, iPad etc.
See the RoboHelp Tour on my site and look in the sample projects that ship with Rh.

IMovie 9.0.2. - trailer function does not work!

I have a problem with the trailer function in iMovie. The problem appeard from the beginning on (Version 9.0, 9.0.1, 9.0.2). Whenever i try to create a new project as a trailer, i just see the spinning wheel. The spinning wheel also appears in the preview window by selecting a trailer-template. When i try to insert some clips in the trailer story-board, they just "lay over" the clip-art pictures (are not inserted), then iMovie crashes. All other functions in iMovie are working fine.
By creating a new user-account the trailer-function in iMovie works fine. What is the solution for my main account? I have already tried to delete all .plists, same Problem.

Hi Barry,
iMovie11, SnowLeopard 10.6.7.
Different problem in the trailer:
The main title shows "placeholders" as if the font is missing which it is likely not; I have not messed with fonts in a year.
The placeholders resemble a box with the capital letter "A" within the box bordered by the phrase "BASIC LATIN" on top and bottom of the box and "0000" on the left and "00F7" on the right.
To attempt to repair the malfunction, I eliminated the .plist file but this rids iMovie11 of the projects themselves, so this is no solution.
I quit iMovie and restarted it but the problem persists.
The previous trailer had no font problems, nor problems of any kind. My previous movies made in iMovie11 had no problems either.
What to do?

IMovie '4'

A few months ago I purchased and installed iLife '08 mainly for iMovie. What a disappointment!!
Granted '4' had some issues and was simplistic however for me it was more utility than a sophisticated video production tool. I simply used it as an interface to capture old vhs and export to digital file or hand off to iDVD to burn.
I am a professional video editor for NASA, I have Final Cut and DVD Studio in which I could've done such projects but to me it seemed overkill... I liked the 'layman' functionality of iMovie. Apparently I am not the only one disappointed by this software change, I did read in some online discussions elsewhere several similar critiques including the silly elimination of a timeline approach to clip sequencing. On occasion over the last few months I tried to retro-load '4' from install disc with no luck. It finally occurred to me to trash ALL caches and files for '08' this morning.
It worked... I reinstalled and have '4' back!! Now the problem is I again have one of the initial problems of early '4' (pre-HD update), that being only able to capture clips in 9:28 subclips. I installed the only '4' update I could find from Apple... no fix.
Anybody from Apple or the community no where or how I can get '4' to 'HD-version' for the hour long clip captures like I used to?
I am a new user to apple forum and not sure if my 'registered' .mac acct would appear to reply to directly or be the way I'd be notified of responses online... but it is not a 'fully functioning' acct, meaning I can't get e-mail thru it so I doubt I'll get notified of any response directly and will have to just keep an eye on forum for feedback.
Thanks!

I found this:
"Perhaps silently acknowledging that iMovie '08 is a completely different approach to video editing, Apple has made iMovie HD 6 (the previous version) available as a free download."....
"the installer checks to see if iLife '08 is installed before continuing. This means that anyone buying a brand new Mac that comes with iLife '08 (and who therefore wouldn't have a previous copy of iMovie HD 6) could download this installer and get iMovie HD as well. But if you're still using an older version of iMovie, you can't upgrade to iMovie HD 6 for free."
I did download update, 'HD6' launched ok, but will not import today's earlier '4' work as either a project or media files.... keeps crashing, but I'll keep trying to find solution/work around

IMovie Preview Not Working since latest Firmware Update (11/14/2006)

I was working on an iMovie project without incident until an automatic Firmware update was completed. Since the update, the editing preview function of iMovie is a black screen. The movie plays, but when you attempt to edit the Ken Burns effects, etc ... the preview screen is black so you are unable to edit a viewable screen. Strange ... anyone else - post firmware update issues on the MacBook Pro?

(Quoting Karl Petersen here:)
There's a bug in iMovie 6 that makes it impossible to re-edit (Update) photo clips previously imported with the Ken Burns checkbox ON. The source photo, normally stored in the Media folder of the project, is (inappropriately) discarded when you empty the iMovie trash. The clips Update as black clips and the preview is usually black too, if I recall.
The workaround is to 1) drag the photo from the iMovie trash to the iMovie Clips pane; or 2) never empty the iMovie trash.
