How can I hold a frame of a clip?

I want to hold the first frame of a clip, then play the clip, then hold the last frame. Seems like there's some time remapping tools somewhere but I can't figure this out.
I can't just take a screen shot and set that as the still because this is one window in the video and there's other stuff going on.
Basically there are going to be four windows each with a video track. One will play, then freeze and the next will begin.
Any thoughts on how to do this? I don't want to have to go into After Effects if I can help it.
Thanks!

To get a still of a clip in the timeline, go to the frame you want to freeze, select 'f' to match frame back to that clip and frame in the Viewer, select Sift+N' to create a Freeze of that frame, insert that into the Sequence.
... same for freeze at end.
You said there's four windows - you mean on one screen? ... then I'd create 4 sequences, possibly of the same duration each; one each for the 4 frames you want. They would each start with a freeze, roll on, then freeze at the end. Make these SEQs longer than you need.
One at a time, put them into the Viewer (don't double-click them) and edit them onto 4 tracks of master SEQs.
Apply sizing and motion to each of those. Control-click the clips in the timeline and select 'Open In Viewer' to see their motion tabs.
This method helps separate the roll off/to a freeze from the editing & motion (resizing/zooming etc.)
Hope that helps.

How can i hold a spot in a clip, let the audio continue for a moment and then resume the clip and audio together?

how can i hold a spot in a clip, let the audio continue for a moment and then resume the clip and audio together?

you want to use the retiming tool. you can select what you want to hold, then use the "Hold" command (shift-H) to create a single frame of a default duration, which you can then change to whatever length you want by dragging the retiming handle.
Here's the page in the help manual that describes the hold feature in detail:

I have made a book of my I Photo pictures. In certain layouts there is a textframe. How can I avoid the frame becoming visible in the print if I don't want to write anything? Should I just leave it or should I delete the text "Write your text here" ?

I have made a book of my iPhoto pictures. In certain layouts there is a text frame. How can I avoid the frame becoming visible in the print if I don't want to write anything? Should I just leave it untouched or should I delete the instructing text "Write your text here"?

Most pages have layouts for pictures only or pictures with text boxes. Either select the same layout for that page but the one without the text box or put a space in the text box.
Putting a space in the text box will avoid getting the warning when ordering that there's an unfilled text box in the book. The box will not be visible in the final product. You can and should check the book before ordering by previewing it as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it

How can I change the frame rate mode?

Adobe Premiere Pro exports my videos with a variable frame rate. Because of this long videos are asynchronous. How can i change the frame rate mode? So Adobe Premie Pro exports my videos with a CONSTANT frame rate? The original video has a constant frame rate...

Sorry my mistakes. I am from Germany.. so...I mean with asynchronous that the video file and the sound file are displaced. In the beginning of the Video it's normal, but if the videos is very long it goes VERY "asynchronous"
I analyzed the video with "mediainfo":

How can I get the frame option that diffuses the edges of a picture in pages 5.2

I recently updated to Pages 5.2 and have discovered that my favorite and most used framing option is no longer a choice. How can I get the frame option that allowed you to diffuse the edges to soften a picture edges on 5.2?

That is called the vignette, and yes Apple has removed it from Pages 5 along with 100 other features.
Pages '08/'09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder so use that.
Be aware that Pages 5.2 is not only short of features it is also buggy and prone to leaving you with files that won't open.

How can I hold values in a variable

I am looking for someone to point me in the right direction - I'm somewhat new to Java, but am a dinosaur from the mainframe, and sometimes get frustrated at the amount of effort I need to go through to do something that would have been simple on the mainframe...
I have a Swing based GUI application that I am trying to write - it uses Swing components to build a GUI interface and present data to the user. This data comes from a flat file that is XML based. The structure is as follows:
"Main" class (establishes the GUI, etc.)
|
Specific class (establishes a specific page in the GUI; there are many of these)
|
XML Reader class - uses parsing functions to read the file; stores data into an array
The problem is that I make an initial call to the method that parses the XML file and builds the data in the array. I can see this through my debugging tool; it is confirmed in tracing messages I have built into the program.
I then return to the specific class, and it wants to do specific things to build the GUI pages, based on customer input. So for example, I may want to go and get information on the third record in the XML file - I pass back an index value, and it should return information. Unfortunately, the array is now empty when I return to extract the values.
How can I hold the values in the array so that I can return and extract (and ultimately update) the values when I need them. There are initially about 25 different arrays - some Integer, Some Strings, and some String buffers. I have seen an indication that I could implmenet Serializable to do this, but it seems that this is a lot of I/O - parsing the data, then serializing it back to disk, and then reading it back every time I want to access it. I have thought about doing it through a data base, but I don't have a DBMS available currently, and this is possibly beyond my level at the moment.
I appreciate any suggestions that you might have.
Jerry

The xml file that I have is something that I
established my self. It follows the standard xml
conventions, just straight <tag field="xyz" /> stuff.
About as fancy as it gets is to have free form text
t lines where I need to capture the information in a
String buffer out of the parser. The format of the
tag is like this:
<comments>
multiple lines of text
follow...
</comments>In that case, depending on your utilization of the data(if this is not intended to carry data around different systems) you can just serialize it to the file and after retrieve it using XMLEncoder and XMLDecoder from java.bean package.(Have a look on the javadocs for J2SE)
If your XML is intended to be passed around different systems, you can use JAXB to bind the document to a object model, instead of parsing it yourself.
I sem to be having issues with passing control
between classes - As I understand it, values that you
establish in one class must be passed along to the
caller - there doesn't seem to be a conceopt like a
"data section" where data can be stored for access by
all classes that need access to it. Gosling fobid it!!!!!
Or is there, and
I just haven't discovered it yet.No you won't, happily there is no such a thing, once you got the hang of OO principles and design, you will see that this is not only dangerous as it adds too much complexity to the system for those mantainig the code.
If you want data to be acessed througout the system, uniquely, there are means to do that, like Singleton pattern(GoF, 127) and Common Object Registry pattern(Software Architeture Design Patterns in Java, 423)
But I think this is not the solution to tyour problem, as far as I understand, you get data from your XML file, that seems to have a structure repeating over the file, and you want to display it to your user.
The firsting I would advise is to not use arrays as carriers for your data. Instead use objects that represent your data stored in collections, for example, if you have a xml file like this:
<people>
   <person>
         <name>Jeff</name>
         <age>6</age>
   </person>
   <person>
         <name>Rage</name>
         <age>36</age>
   </person>
   <person>
         <name>Rene</name>
         <age>666</age>
   </person>
</people>Then, have a class that hold the data for person:
* @(#)Person.java     v1.0     02/03/2005
import java.io.Serializable;
* Class that stands for a person data.
* @author Notivago     02/03/2005
* @version 1.0
public class Person implements Serializable {
     * The class implements java.io.Serializable, as it is
     * required for the class to be a java bean.
     * The proper way to have classes offering its data
     * to the external world is by having get/set methods
     * that handle acess to internal fields.
     * Never make the class fields public.
     * The age of the person this class represents
    private int age;
     * The name of the person this class stands for.
    private String name;
     * Vanilla constructor for the class, as required for classes to be
     * java beans. Initializes the class with age 0 and a empty name.
    public Person() {
        super();
        age = 0;
        name = "";
     * Convenience constructor that allows your bean to be created
     * with age and name set.
     * @param age
     * @param name
    public Person(int age, String name) {
        this.age = age;
        this.name = name;
     * Acessor for the age of the person.
     * @return
     *           The age.
    int getAge() {
        return age;
     * Mutator for the age of the person.
     * @param age
     *           The age to set.
    void setAge(int age) {
        this.age = age;
     * Acessor for the name of the person.
     * @return
     *           The name of the person.
    String getName() {
        return name;
     * Mutator for the name of the person.
     * @param name
     *           The name of the person.
    void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
}Get the data from the XML document, with JAXB for example, and for each person found, create and populate a bean with the data, store the bean in the colection and pass it to the user interface to be displayed. (Look at the java.util documentation)
If you are into doing GUI, you will want to have a look in the MVC pattern, Model 2 pattern and the Swing "Separable Model" Architeture, so you learn how to make reusable decoupled GUIs. (search for MVC and Model 2 and look at the "How to use Swing Components" Documentation)
On using swing, you can get the collection of beans and bind it to lists, tables or any other presentation form you would want. Look at the swing tutorial on how to use data model to boost your GUI.(Look at "how to use swing documentation")
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/index.html
But here goes 2 cents of opinion, start by the basic tutorials:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
especially the ones on Object Orientation:
the way things are done in Mainframe if very different as they are done on a OO language, before learning the language, you will have to learn a new mindset, so after reading the basic tutorials, it would be good you search for some good books that focus on OO thinking, a good one that does that and teaches java at the same time is:
Head First Java
It is a good and funny reading.
Head First Design Patterns
Also have a lot of good insights on OO and it comes with some patterns as a bonus.
I understand you see this all as overcomplicated, bu once you get the hang of it, you will see that there this only another way to see things and the stability and reusability attained is worth of the effort.
May the code be with you.

Did I need to call my ISP?
thanks

How can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

how can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

First, go to iMovie/Preferences and enable the Advanced Tools.
Import the video clip into an iMovie Event. When you get ready to use it in an iMovie Project, select the clip in the Event and drag & drop it on top of a video or photo clip in the project at the place where you want it to begin. When the pop-up menu appears, choose Audio Only.

I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash. When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb. How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

Non-destructive editing is an important feature of iMovie HD 6.
iMovie preserves the entire copy of every clip you place into your movie in case you change your mind at a later stage.
So, if you have cut out one minute from a 45 minute clip, iMovie will have stored two complete copies of that clip. This is why is helps to set import as 3-5 minute clips rather than one huge chunk. As DV runs at 13GB per hour your project files can get very big.
One workaround is to complete the editing of a section of the movie, then export that to Quicktime: highlight the clip/s, choose Share-Quicktime, turn on Share selected clips only, and choose Full Quality from the pop-ip menu.
Once you have saved the stand-alone clip to your hard drive, you can re-import it into your project using the File/Import command, and delete the original long clip/s from the project.

How can I reinsert the deleted audio from clips in my sequence?

How can I reinsert the deleted audio from clips in my sequence?

I can tell you a work around to get you going in the meantime, just may be time consuming if you have a lot of clips in the timeline.
double click a clip missing audio
press the go to in point and copy the timecode to notepad
press the go to end point and copy timecode
right click clip, and reveal in project
double click the original in project
paste in timecode and set in & out points again
drag audio
As I said not the quickest way, but it works, and won't actually take as long as you'd think, 30 secs or so per clip, i just hope you don't have over 100 clips without audio

How can I change the duration for all clips in iMovie 10.2

How can I change the duration for all clips in iMovie 10.2? I'm used to working in the older version of iMovie where all I had to do was click on the gear on the clip and change the duration. ALso could use the tool bar to set the duration for all clips. Can't figure out how to do that in this new version. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

In the timeline select the clip whose duration you want to change. Click the adjust button at the top of the viewer and then click the i button and you can set the duration. For multiple clips select them all and in the i button type in the duration you want and it will be applied to all the selected clips. You can also change the duration of a clip in the timeline by putting the cursor over the beginning or end of a clip and dragging. A popup will show the new duration.
