Green Screen works - replace green screen clip - nothing....

iMovie 09 8.0.6. (821)
Seems like once I delete a green-screen clip from a background, I cannot replace it with another green screen clip.
I created the background clip. Created the green-screen clip by importing a Quicktime movie of an animation. Imported the movie. Dropped green on background - worked perfectly.
I deleted the green screen clip from above the background clip. Exited the project. Made a modification in the origin green-screen clip. Returned to the project Imported the modified Quicktime movie. Dropped it on the background. Got the + sign. Everything seemed okay. However. The green-screen does not appear.
As a test, I dropped it on a different clip in the same project - worked perfectly.
Seems like once I delete a green-screen clip from a background, I cannot replace it with another green screen clip.

It looks as though they used the keyed out torso as a track matte for the other footage.

Strange problem when editing green screen clips

Hi all,
I work as a technician in a High School.
Recently I was doing some green screen work with a class, we were using 10 macbooks to edit. Out of the 10, 6 had this same problem;
At some point after inserting the green screen clips and the background, the project part of the iMovie window stops displaying anything, iMovie acts like the clips are still there though (If I move the cursor over the now empty space, I still see a preview in the preview window). But nothing is visible and nothing can be moved or changed.
Closing iMovie and reopening doesn't work, restarting the macbook doesn't work. The problem seems to be saved to the project file, if I open a new project, the new project is fine, but if I re-open the broken one, it's still broken. The only thing we could do was completely restart and delete the project file.
I hope this makes sense, due to this problem half of the class couldn't finish their work. The same problem has also occurred to another student who was working with green screen in iMovie 09 on an iMac.

Hi Ted,
I've seen this issue before. One thing to remember is that iMovie has a live rendering feature, so sometimes during playback, the viewer does not always display correctly.
I don't know if you tried taking the green screen clip out, then re-adding it.
Also, trying to simply delete the preference file can fix the problem. Home folder>library>pref>imovie.plist
delete that and see if the problem persists.
Doing this will not effect any projects students have made in iMovie.

Using 2 green screen clips and need to resize as one

I am using 2 green screen clips - one is a prop and the other shows kids. I have successfully loaded both into the Premiere timeline. I would like for the two to act as one so that I can resize them at the same time so I can zoom in on the kids. How do I link/group/??? them so they can be resized at the same time. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Thank you. Nesting worked and allowed me to zoom in.

I need help using Ultra Key on a green screen clip.

I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CC to edit a blue screen clip, however, once I apply the Ultra key to the clip, I notice that when I start to render (using Adobe Media Encorder CC), the top part of the green screen clip gets blocked (cut off) by the replacement background! I have tried different backgrounds but I keep getting the same chest-to-head level blocked off with the background. When I remove the Ultra Key and render the
clip with it's green screen, then it renders just fine! BELOW IS A SCREEN SHOT OF MY PROBLEM.
Help!!
Thanks, Dru

Today 2014.2 was released. Might want ot update.

Why don't green screen clips snap together in imovie 11?

I film hundreds of green screen videos per year. I used to use imovie09, and when dragging one green screen clip next to another they would snap together. Now that I upgraded to imovie 11, it no longer allows you to snap the clips together, you have the cut the background in between them. Is there anyway to get these green screen clips to snap together like they used to in imovie09?

Well, now I'm even more confused. I exported my iMovie project from my Mac Book Pro to my iMac and it worked perfectly. Then I exported the same project to my Mac Book Air and it worked fine. But when I go back to my Mac Book Pro - green screen effect simply shows as black and non transparent. So, I have a work around but am puzzled why my Mac Book Pro doesn't work. All systems on updated version of Lion and all have latest version of iMovie '11. My Mac Book Pro is a mid 2009 - 2.8 Core 2 Duo and curious if anyone else has experienced this.

I've tried 50x to do a green screen. I need step by step help. I have my green screen clip and my scenic background but I can't do it.

How do I reposition an inserted green screen clip into a corner of the host clip

Help needed on moving or repositioning an inserted green screen clip to a corner of a host clip for presentation purposes, any ideas ??? Thanks

You can drag and drop a photo at any point (at any frame... 30 frames per second.) Make sure you go to iMovie Preferences and enable Advanced Tools. You can drop a photo, and a pop up menu will come up. Choose Cutaway from the menu.
Further you can use drag and drop to select a range of frames, and then split the clip.
For example, lets say I have a clip of 60 frames (or 2 seconds).
I can drag so that the yellow border covers the first 30 frames. Then right-click/Split Clip. (Or EDIT/Split Clip.
I then have two virtual clips in the project. (Note: the underlying clip in the Event has not changed).
I recommend you watch the [Video Tutorials|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies>
Or see [Ken Stone's Tutorial|http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/imovie_09stone.html]

Is it a common occurance for an iPad 4th gen to just blank out and stop working? The screen shows nothing at all, no sounds but it registers on my computer when connected.

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
No content is affected by this procedure.

Starting up shows blank screen, then nothing works

I was using my santa rosa MBP 2.4Ghz last night when every app started showing a spinning beach ball. I tried to shut down properly, but nothing would work, so I used the power button to shut off the computer. When I rebooted, however, all I got was a startup chime followed by a blank gray screen and nothing more. If I leave it the fans eventually start going nuts. If I press the power button it shuts off immediately (no need to hold it down). None of the startup key-combos work, and I've tried booting it off an external USB drive (which I just created for emergency situations and has successfully booted the computer before) but it doesn't work. I've tried resetting the SMC, although frankly I don't see how one knows if that works or not, but I did it. I also reset the NVRAM, which oddly did seem to work, even if no other key-combos worked. Any ideas?

This isn't a major addition to what I wrote earlier, it's just that I noticed that if I hold down the option key while rebooting I see the arrow cursor, while otherwise I never see the cursor.
I also didn't mention that I had tried booting in firewire target disk mode, but that didn't work.

I am trying to copy 3 photos from an album in iPhoto to my iPhone. I have tried to move them to PhotoStream. I "select" the photos in the Album and then click on PhotoStream in the "Share" menu at the bottom of the screen. Nothing happens. I have also tried emailing them tyo myself but iPhoto won't send the email. It tells me it doesn't recognize my ID and password. My operating is Lion on an iMac.

Thank you for responding to my question, above, this morning. And thank you for the link about PhotoStream. It was helpful in understanding how Photostream works, but, unfortunately, doesn't really reference my problem since it assumes that the photos were originated on one of my Apple devices. The photos I want to copy to my iPhone are in an album on iPhoto but I had originally downloaded them from my camera to my iMac then moved them to the album. The confusing thing for me is that they are 3 of a dozen photos takern over a period of 12 years on different digital cameras (two were taken on film and later scanned and eventually moved to the album in iPhoto) and all but three of the photos moved to photostream and are on my iPhone. It is those three, which were all taken on digital cameras and moved to the album, which I can't get to move to Photostream.

Insert the install disk and press c on startup. Select your langauge then, if there's a menubar click utilities then click Disk Utility. If you didn't see the menubar continue with the installer until you see it.
Once in disk utitly select the drive and repair permissions.
After the repair is done, quit the utiltiy.
You can try to reboot and see if it works if you reboot, but if it doesn't repeat the same as before again.
Now you can continue with the installer and install the os.
Quit

How to save drawings in a Screen clipping

Good Afternoon Folks:
I have a problem in saving drawings from a Screen clipping note. After capturing a screen, I will add a circle/highlight on a part of the screen in order to draw the reader's attention. Onenote however, saves only the screen clipping and ignores the
drawings and or any writings (annotations) I have added.
The only option I can think of now is to take another screenshot and use, does not seem efficient.
Can one of you experts help me out please?
Thanks
Srini

Hi
Were other contents in your Onenote saved well?
I have tested in my machine in both Onenote 2010 and 2013, and they worked well.
We recommend you start Onenote in safe mode to check the issue(Hold Ctrl key and click into the program):

PSE 6 Blank welcome screen and nothing else

Started suddenly, no issues previously. Installed on an iMac running 10.5.8. Blank welcome screen and nothing else. Tried reinstalling... nothing is working.... help!

What happens if you turn off your internet and then start pse 6?
There has been a rash of posts over in the photoshop forum about photoshop cs3 doing something similar, so i wonder if it's related
since pse 6 is based on the cs3 code.
If it's the same thing, then that might be the registration screen your seeing (or not seeing because it's blank)
If you start pse 6 up without the internet on and it's the registration screen you see, press Never Register and that should hopefully resolve the issue.
