Editing photos in one track without altering video in another?

Using Premier Elements 11, and working with an uploaded video with music. I am superimposing photos/videos on top of it. When I edit or move around the photos in the higher tracks, it messes up the audio by inserting breaks/cuts. I want the audio/video to run continuously in the background. Is there a way to lock the video so it can't be edited, while I move around the clips in the tracks above it?
And, a related question: I've placed a photo where I want it in relation to the video track. Is there a way to lock it in at that point in the video so that when I edit photos on the same track before that one, it doesn't shift everything down?
I've read on this forum that one can use the Ctrl key, but that trick doesn't seem to keep things from shifting around on the timeline in this case. Specifically, if I shorten the length of a clip, it slides everything after it to the left, whether or not I hold down the alt or ctrl key.

Yes, holding down the Ctrl key (or the Cmd key on a Mac) while you add photos or video clips will keep the track from rippling as you work.
Unfortunately, that won't keep your tracks from rippling  when you trim your photos.
That's the closest to being able to lock a track.

  • How can you take a photo from one event and put it in another, without dragging to desktop and dragging back into iPhoto and moving it to the event folder I want it in.

    As the title says I need help on how to take a photo from one event and put it in another, without dragging to desktop and dragging back into iPhoto and moving it to the event folder I want it in. Right now when I want to move a picture from one event to another I drag it to my desktop then delete it from iPhoto then I drag it back into iPhoto and put where I want it.An example would be taking a photo from the Christmas event and add it to a specific person event.  Can I do that within the events section without all the dragging. Also is there anyway I can remove duplicates from iPhoto without going through each and every file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Apple doesn't make it easy to do what you want.  However, here's how I do it. 
    Select the photo you want to move and create a new Event for it via the Event ➙ Create Event menu option.
    In the Event mode select the new Event with the one picture and drag it onto the Event you want to move the photo to.

  • IPhoto turned most of my edited photos into black files without any previous versions

    I discovered the issue when I tried to edit some photos and the edit screen only displayed noise. After trying the steps recommended here and rebuilding my library most of my edited photos were black... I tried to return them to their previous versions but there aren't any.
    When I create a new library and import a single photo and then try to edit it the iPhoto edit screen still either displays an image with noise or a black one.
    I really like iPhoto and hope this issue can be fixed!
    I'm using iPhoto '11 version 9.4.3 on OS X 10.8.3

    This is really a puzzlement.  The last test I can think of is it could be a preference file other than iPhoto's.  Here's how to test that premise:
    Trouble Shooting Preferences
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    1 - close all applications.
    2 - open your Home/Library folder and Option-drag (copy) the Preferences folder to the Desktop. 
    3 - select the contents of your Home/Library/Preferences folder and drag them into the Trash bin in the Dock.  You will be asked to provide your Admin password.
    4 - reboot.
    5 - run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed
    6 - If the problem is fixed:
    A - open the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    B - Open the Preferences  folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace or Skip button.
    D - reboot.
    7 - If the problem is NOT fixed, drag the contents of the Preference folder on the Desktop into the Home/Library/Preference folder and replace the entire contents that were created by clicking on Replace.
    8 - reboot.
    Also do you have access to another Mac that you can test editing some of the photos you're having problems with here? 
    Here's another test:  reformat the card in the camera or use another card, take some photos, import and edit.  This could tell if there's a problem with the file itself due to a corrupted card format.

  • I want to remove photo from one picture and move it to another. How is this done?

    I would like to take a photo from one picture with a different background and move it to another photo that has better scenery for the project i am working on. How is this done?

    In Editor, go to the expert tab.
    Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from to add to another picture.
    Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
    Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
    Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
    Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
    In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.

  • Applying one track's amplitude properties to another

    Hi, I'm fairly new to Audition, and was wondering whether it's possible to apply one track's amplitude properties to a separate track. I've recorded a constant tone, unchanging in pitch, that changes in amplitude. I then have a second track that contains my audio content. At the moment, it contains just pink noise (see image below. Tone is in the top track, noise in the bottom). I was wondering whether there would be any way of masking the amplitude of the noise track with the tone track. I need this for a film project I'm doing; I have a radio in a scene where the camera moves around in one long shot. However, I won't have the final recording for the radio content when I record the shot. Therefore, I want to play a constant tone at a constant volume, and the changes in position of my microphone will result in a changing amplitude to the recorded tone (the whole scene is silent other than the tone, so there will be no erroneous additions to the tone). Could I theoretically then use the tone recorded on set to mask the amplitude of the audio, adding the movement properties to the radio soundtrack?
    Thanks in advance, and I apologise if this is simple; as I said, I'm new to Audition.

    SteveG, I've had a play around sidechaning the tone track to the audio track using the Dynamic Processing effect. It worked wonders! Thanks for your advice; it was most helpful, and solved my issue. I fiddled around with the settings to provide the best match volume-wise, and produced exactly what I was after. Thanks again.

  • Is it  possible to change the name of a photo in one album without changing the name in other albums?

    I use the photos in events to create more than one album and I want to use a unique name in each album. When I change the name in one album, all instances of the photo also change.

    Correct. Albums just reference the photos in an Event - it's why a pic can be in 50 albums and use no extra disk space. So, change one and you change all. The alternative is to duplicate the pic in the Event.

  • Can you delete an iCloud account from ONE iPhone without it disappearing from another iPhone registered on the same Apple-id/iCloud account?

  • How do I move photos from one album on my website to another album?

    I have created our family website and on it I have included about 15 photo albums from the past year. To clean things up a bit, I would like to create a couple of "archive" albums with my most favorite pictures from each of my 15 albums and then delete the 15 old albums.
    Basically, I want to consolidate the 15 albums into 1 or 2 albums of "my favorites-archived" and then delete all the albums except for the two new ones.
    Rather than go through the 30+ events from iPhoto and look through hundreds of pictures to find my favorites, I would like to move some of the pictures from the already created albums, to a new album. I am not able to drag a picture from the existing album and drop it into the new album, so I'm wondering if there is a trick to it.

    There's this new concept of "copy and paste"....works like a charm duh.

  • How do you copy photos from one iMac's iPhoto library to another iMac's iPhoto library??

    I have 20K+ photos on my original iMac and enjoy the desktop shuffle of pictures.  I have a newer iMac that has its own library of pictures but I would really like to take all of the pictures from the original iMac and put them on the newer one.  I have a wireless network with an Airport Extreme that both machines are on.  Both machines are running Leopard.  Same versions of iPhoto 11, 9.2.2.  I have an iPad that has all of the pictures on it and that I sync on the older iMac.  When I tried to connect my iPad on the newer iMac in hopes that it would upload the pictures, iTunes gave me warnings about the device not being synced, erasing the library, etc., so I immediately ejected the iPad.  I have all these options for copying the data from one machine to the other but can't seem to make any of them work.  Any ideas?

    Thanks, Larry, I'll look into the iPhoto Library Manager.  I've downloaded the free trial to get a feel for it.  My large photo library is 85GB and I want to avoid having to buy an external drive just to make this one move.  My iDisk is about 20 GB so I would be doing 5 exports to get it all done.  I guess what I really need to do is understand my network a bit better and see how I can transfer this across my lines.  I appreciate your quick response!

  • One phone, sync photos to one Mac user account, iTunes to another?

    My laptop has two User accounts, one for me and one for my wife.  My wife's iPhone syncs with the iTunes on my user account.  However, she would like her iPhone's photos to sync to the iPhoto on her user account. 
    Is there a way to do this?  If we connect her iPhone while her user account is open, it wants to erase all of her iTunes music.

    Just use My Photo Stream in iPhoto to sync the photos from her iPhone to iPhoto.

  • Editing files on one mac that are stored on another

    I have two macs with Lion on my LAN. I want to be able to open and edit files on each from the other and then save the changes to the original store. I seem to be told that I don't have permission to do that. How can I fix this?
    TIA,
    David

    I changed the permissions of the original store (my iMac) on the Macbook Pro as you described. When I attempted to close the app on the MBP, I got the msg 'The document XXXX is on a volume that does not support permanent version storage'.
    Is this problem related to Lion's save and version features? FYI, that app in question is Keynote so you'd think it'd be fully up-to-date on Lion's features.

  • How do I put the audio from one clip over the video of another clip?

    So I have two videos, and I want to replace the audio of the first with the audio of the second. Sorry, I'm new to 08 and have been trying to suss this out for ages so I'd really appreciate any advice you guys can give.

    This thread seems to be on the same subject and is very helpful.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2072620&tstart=50
    The Working with Audio clip also included the solution for extracting the audio from a clip at the very end of the video. Having to know the secret handshake of shift-command and dragging is really not intuitive, but such is progress....

  • Photo Booth start up without a videowindow

    Does anybody know how it is possible that Photo Booth start up without a video window and cause of that i can't take pictures or video's. Videochat works normaly. I deleted com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist, but that didn't help. MB details: MB white (Nov 2006, May 2007), OS X 10.4.11. Kind Regards Nina.

    Welcome to  Discussions, Nina
    If your 10.4.11 Mac's Mac OS X Maintenance is not up-to-date, do it now and see if your problem goes away.
    (For other readers, my 10.5.x Mac runs the Chrons automatically whenever needed as soon as it wakes from sleep. However, I must force the chrons on my 10.3.x and 10.4.x Macs unless they are kept awake 24 hours a day.)
    If Maintenance is not your problem, it seems to me that you need to reinstall Photo Booth. There are three ways to do this in order of how easy they are to accomplish:
    (0) Copy from your backup disk (if you backup your system or have more than one 10.4.11 Mac)
    (1) Reinstall all Bundled Software that came with your Mac. If you need help,
      see page 51 of the User Guide that came with your MacBook.
    (2) If you do not want to reinstall ALL bundled software, you can use Pacifist to install only the Photo Booth app.
