Extending the time for a photo inserted into Motion timeline

I'm a newbie to Motion and I've downloaded the dvMatte for Motion so I can do what I hope to do, which is to shoot a short Monthly PodCast in front of a green screen and insert a Virtual Set behind me.
I insert my clip into motion, apply the dvMatte filter, then add a picture of the virtual set as a layer to the timeline.
It looks great, initially. But the image/picture is inserted with a duration of only 3 seconds. I can't seem to locate a way to extend the duration for that picture to the same as that of the keyed clip.
The clip is, in this case only 8 seconds. So I end up with a great 3 seconds of my virtual set with me in front of it, then just the black matte behind me.
Are photos not permitted to be extended?

How dicrease the time for a bult insert.

Hi, we have a the following process..
1) create a cursor
2) insert in a table t1 acording the rows
selected in the cursor
3) a before insert on t1 create others rows on t2, t3...
This proccess cteate about 300,000 rows a take near 3 hours... my question is how dismiss this time???

Lets imagine I want to INSERT 10 rows into the following table, set a sequential product i.d. for each record and a quantity of zero:
CREATE TABLE sales (product_id NUMBER(10),
quantity NUMBER(5)) ;
Traditionally, I might write something like this (O.K., I know I could use a single INSERT statement for this, but let's assume you want to do some additional calculation inside the loop) :
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1..10 LOOP
INSERT INTO sales (product_id,quantity)
VALUES(i,0) ;
END LOOP ;
COMMIT ;
END ;
All well and good - except each INSERT causes the PL/SQL engine to request that the SQL engine should insert 1 row. This is an overhead that can be reduced by using BULK BIND coding (I mixed my terms previously - a BULK COLLECT allows multiple rows to be retrieved into a PL/SQL collections - it uses the same performance-enhancing technique, but in reverse) :
DECLARE
TYPE t_sales IS TABLE OF sales.product_id%TYPE INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER ;
a_sales t_sales ;
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1..10 LOOP
a_sales(i) := i ;
END LOOP ;
FORALL j IN a_sales.FIRST..a_sales.LAST
INSERT INTO sales (product_id,quantity)
VALUES (a_sales(j),0) ;
COMMIT ;
END ;
The INSERT above is now passed to the SQL engine as a single request, which gives a significant performance improvement for large numbers of rows. Just remember that all those rows need to go somewhere in memory prior to the INSERT - namely the PGA for your session.
There are a few limitations to this method, the most significant being that fact that the PL/SQL table must be "simple" - i.e. no tables or records.
(Oracle Moderators: Please don't ask "Why is Andy writing such an pointless piece of code?" - it's just to demonstrate the technique!)

Where does iPhoto save the time for each photo?

I copied some photos from the library to my desktop, ran software to add an hour to several at once (forgot daylight savings time), deleted the original photos from iPhoto, and re-imported the new copy with the new times back into the library.
I was very surprised to see the information window on the bottom left side of the iPhoto window still showed the old time. Even more confusing is that if I bring up the main info window (CMD-I), the time indicated there is the time I corrected to.
Why do these times not match? Where is iPhoto keeping the old times?

Bob:
Other users have reported that also. I've used PhotoInfo to change time and dates of file and upon importing back into iPhoto they are reported as changed in both the Source window info section and in the Get Info window's Photo section. Don't know why I can do it and the other users were not able to.
I just dragged the photos from the thumbnail window to the desktop, launched PhotoInfo, went to the File->Open menu and select the file. I then changed the time and clicked on Change button. Upon importing into iPhoto the date displayed as changed. If you didn't use PhotoInfo you might give it a try.

Extend the time for a title to show

how do you add time to a static title - say to hold it for 10 seconds in a movie

Welcome to the forum.
If it's just a static Title, click-drag on the Tail in the Timeline, and extend it, as desired. I like to have the Info Panel open, and visible, to see just what the Duration of the Title is.
Good luck,
Hunt

I've been using iMovie for a while now to make movies out of mostly travel photos and video clips. I try to vary the time for the photos from 1-4 sec. Any ideas out there?

I've been using iMovie for a while now to make movies out of mostly travel photos and video clips. I try to vary the time for the photos from 1-4 sec., although most of them are 1-2 seconds so as to keep it short. A friend of mine who saw my most recent product said that this is too short. Any ideas out there?

I apologize for my confusion on your question. I find that depending on the principal of each photo and my target audience to determine the time frame for each photo. It seems most people get impatient with viewing one photo for more than 1-2 seconds if the photo is not complex.
If there are several things that interests the viewers in any one image, they want to look at it a second or two longer. If the movie of images is a training aid, the images may need to be more than 3 seconds. For intro's, or a trailer for a training movie, no longer than 1-2 seconds.
That was a long answer to say, generally speaking, I find 3 seconds to be an average time length.

How do you extend the time of a rolling credit?

I'm working on my wedding dvd, and I am including a rolling credit that lists all of the guests to be pasted at the end of the movie. The problem is when I include more and more people to the list, the lettering gets smaller in a bid to fit all the text in to a certain time frame. Obviously, the credits should be allowed to run for a lot longer to allow for the extra text. Is there a way of extending the time that the credits last for. I have tried dragging it, have fiddled with the scroll time (58 secs I think, not long enough for what I want to do.) Is it possible to do, or is this way to ambitious for this particular program. If so, would Final Cut do it?

Hi wildgherkin - have a look at this very good, cheap app that does what you want and more. It is fully compatible with imovie. You can export the file directly into an iMovie project if you want.

My Mac G-4 OS X will not image an icon of the zip disk with I inserted into my computer's built-in Zip Drive, therefore I can not remove the zip disk from my computer. What can I do?

My Mac G-4 OS X will not image an icon of the zip disk with I inserted into my computer's built-in Zip Drive, therefore I can not remove the zip disk from my computer. What can I do?

Thanks Old Comm Guy, BD Aquam and Texas Mac Man for youradvice and reply to my question
and problem with my Zip Drive. However:
    1. Depressing mouse buttonon start up did not eject the zip disk.
    2. To examine front of zipdrive, I had to remove many screws and several plastic case
         coverings. Upon doing thatI discovered that, unfortunately, there is no whole in front
          of mybuilt-in zip hardware drive for me to insert a paper clip to manually eject zipdisk.
      3. I went to the Utilities folder in myMac OS X Application folder, but I could not find
           theiomega zip drive in there.
Also, I did go into my "9" System folder and thento the Extensions folder within it and did find an icon of an
Iomega Driver. When double clicking on it a window came upstating I was opening the application
"ColorSync Extension" for thefirst time, and asking if I was sure I wanted to open this application.
Uponclicking open nothing happened - nothing opened.
I also went into the "System X" folder>Libraryfolder>Extension folder>IomegaSAM.ket icon and double
clicked on it and asmall window opened stating "Compiling file List", however nothingopened it just
continued to compile, so I closed it.
Within my Mac OS X HD> Applications>Iomega folder>Iomega Tools.app a smallwindow opened up
with several options (Erase, Protect, Disk Info and DriveInfo). Clicking on the Drive Info a message says:
"No Iomega Drives or noIomega Driver found. Therefore, Ihave gone to Mac, Iomega and other websites
trying to find a Driver for thebuilt-in Zip Drive in my Mac G-4 OS X 10.4.11, but have not really found anythat work.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THERE IS A WEBSITE WHERE I CANDOWNLOAD A NEW DRIVER FOR MY ZIP DRIVE?
Thanks,     Peterfromcrystallake

Regions selection continues to come up every time a disc is inserted into computer

I have an old Mac A1185 that I am trying to fix. The DVD player seems to have a mind of its own. Every time a disc is inserted into the drive the 'region' selection appears - I have selected the appropriate region and then the DVD player closes. Is there a patch or something i would be able to use to stop this from occurring?

Try googling to see what are the available softwares for burning DVDs apart from Nero. You can also post in AUS(Anything Under the Sun) Forum, since many members who are using different DVD writers can give you better suggestions than me .

Adjust Date and time for all Photos in an event?

Would some one tell me how to adjust the date and time for all photos in an event. For some reason when I change the date, it only changes the first photo in the event and I am left with a range of dates in the event, but I would rather they all have the same date in the event. Any thoughts or ideas?

How are you selecting the photos and changing them? How much of a change are you trying to make? A total change of date and time or just a delta change either plus or minus?
Using the Photos->Adjust Date and Time... menu option will apply the time/date difference to all of the photos in the Event if you click on the Event icon in the Photos mode or the Event mode.

Can i set the timing for individual photos in a slideshow

there are text pages that need to be read but not at a 4 second speed
it has to be slower more time
syncing to music i compose is a must
can each individual photo have its own time
i hope so or else they ruined a wonderful product
with this limitation

Glen:
Yes, you can. Under the slide there's a button titled "Adjust'. Click on it and you can set the time for that slide, the transition, etc.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Updating my iPhone 5 software has shortened the number of rings before the answer phone kicks in, how do I extend the time delay?

If the codes Tanzim mentioned don't work, just call your carrier and ask them to extend your time until voicemail picks up, to 30 seconds. They do this routinely.

How can I extend the time I am timed out on the new Firefox version?

The new version of Firefox which I recently installed times me out after a very short period of time. I can I extend the time that Firefox times me out to at least one hour of inactivity.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== right after I installed the new Firefox version today

If you have an Exchange account on your iPad for which the admistrator has specified a limit on how long you can set the auto-lock, the only way to change it is to remove the Exchange account. Once you put the Exchange account back on, the restriction will be back in place. Apple has nothing to do with this.
Exchange admistrator often require that devices be passcode protected and that the device will autolock so they delete the "Never" setting.
