How can I put a short clip to good use?

I have a very short clip, less than 4 seconds, which is difficult to work into my sequence. I'm reluctant to discard it for sentimental reasons. Any suggestions as to what type of special effects I can play so I can keep it?
I've been working for several days on motion and I'm finally getting the hang of how it work, so, I would like to keep it simple.
Thank you in advance.

As we have no details it is a question that is impossible to answer ............ rather like, "I have got 3 notes of music, how can I create a symphony?"
However, not being one to run away from the impossible, how about making freeze frames?
One possibility would be to use slow-motion on the clip as has been suggested and finish it with a freeze-frame.

  • How can I put transitions btw clips that both use green screen?

    Seems that when I drop the transition between the clips (between the backgrounds -- it won't let me drop the transition between the videos shot with the green screen), it then pushes the green screened video clips together, and the transition doesn't play at all!

    iMovie does all rendering in one pass. This effect would require a nested render, which FCP excels at.
    If you want to do this in iMovie, do the first green screen clip. Share it using Export Using QuickTime in Apple Intermediatae Codec. Do the same with the second green screen clip. Then import both clips into an iMovie event. Now you can drag both these clips into a project and put a transition between them.

  • How can I copy a short clip?

    Hello All,
    When I have a project in the timeline how can I copy a short clip? Sometimes I will make an edit so I will end up with a 5 second shot and I want to put a copy of that shot above it in video track 2 so I can do some matte work. I have tried a few things, but I can't figure out how to copy just that small clip. Is there a duplicate button or something like that so it just makes a clone of that shot?
    Thanks for your help.
    Mike

    Hi Michael,
    Select the clip in the timeline, hold down the Option and Shift keys, and drag it to the place in the timeline you'd like to copy it to. Let go of the mouse to perform an Overwrite Edit and place the duplicated clip where your mouse was pointing to. To do the same thing but perform an Insert Edit, only hold down the Option key when dragging.

  • How Can I put A quicktime clip into keynote??

    Two Questions,
    One:
    How Can I put a "get a mac" commercial into keynote. (Like how do i download it and how do i put it in)
    Two:
    If I download a quick time clip (say, pirates of the Caribbean 2 commercial) How can I insert it into keynote??
    Zach

    You can put a QuickTime clip on a Keynote slide just by dragging the movie file onto the slide. If the clip is in your Movies folder in your home directory, you can also use the Media browser to insert it. Finally, you can use the Insert menu, and use the Choose... item to pick the file.
    To grab one of the "Get a Mac" ads, go to the ad page. Hover your cursor over the thumbnail of the ad, hold down the Control key, and click and hold the mouse button to pop up the contextual menu. Choose "Download Linked File", and the file should be saved to your hard drive.

  • In Mail, how can I send a short clip of a screen recording?

    I have a brief screen recording that I would liketo share with my son. How can I send this as an email attachment, or in the body of an email please?  Thanks, Keith

    Boy, I would think that should work.
    Is the ZIP file too large per your ISP's file attachment rules? For example, my ISP has a 10MB limit on file attachments. I have to split into separate ZIP files anything that's at or over that limit.

  • How can I watch a video clip in my iPad 3?

    I just got an attached video clip from my brother, sent to my hotmail. When I open the clip, it just shows an overcrossed play bottom! How can I watch a video clip in hotmail, using an iPad? Do I need to download an app or what? Please!?

    Well on a Mac you can install
    Flash
    Silverlight
    Perian
    VLC
    Flip4Mac
    DivX
    and many other codecs/tools to watch anything.
    Guess the iOS isn't really all that it's cracked up to be, ignoring the wider world out there.
    Your only choice to complain to Apple about closed devices they make, but of course they know this already and using the iPad as a cheap "netbook" halo effect device so you get to upgrade to a Mac, just like they do with iPhones and iPods.
    In the meanwhile they are slowly closing the door on OS X, a little at a time so it's not noticeable.
    Pretty soon the excuse will be "sorry I can't play your video you sent me mom, I've got a Mac"

  • How can I put different clips in the "DropZone"

    Hey,
    Just wondering how can I put different scenes in dropzones of a customized template in Idvd....
    I imported my film from IMOVIE its' not saved as a movie format such as .mov or .avi it's saved as a project file... so I dont know how I would be able to do have different scenes in different drop zones.. I can only import the whole thing in a dropzone...
    Cuz on customized template there is like 3 dropzones is there a way i can delete the other 2?
    Please help me out,
    JOey Dee

    Hello Joey,
    the dropzone is actually not meant to contain your main movie. If you want to import your iMovie project by drag'n drop, drop it just above the bottom of the preview window. Alternatively choose File > Import > Video from the menu and select your iMovie project.
    If you have 3 dropzones, you should create 3 short (30-45 sec) movies and/or slideshows to place in the dropzones.
    Have a look at this little tutorial:

    hope this helps

  • How can I put another image without its associated sound on an audio (without its image) ?

    IMovie 11 : how can I put one image without its associated sound on an audio (without its image) ? thanks

    Hi
    As iMovie doesn't orient after Time - but only after Video/Photo clips is this not so easy to do.
    I use black photos as Dummy clips - and put them into a new project first
    then I add the Music I want
    Then I drop the Video-clip (that I realy want) ontop of the black dummy photo - Where it's supposed to be - THEN IF advanced tools are selected (in iMovie preferences) there will be a Drop-Down menu and here I can select to do a Cutaway - and select not to add the audio from it (or in wave-form just silence it out)
    Yours Bengt W

  • I want to break up my hour long video in iMovie 11 into smaller 15 minute segements to upload to youtube. How can i put EDITED VIDEO in new projects in iMovie?

    I want to break up my hour long video in iMovie 11 into smaller 15 minute segements to upload to youtube. How can i put EDITED VIDEO in new projects in iMovie? (each 15 minute segment to iMovie)

    In iMovie's Project Library view (where all your projects are listed), click on the name of your project (don't double-click to open it, just single click to highlight it).
    From the Menu select File > Duplicate Project. A copy of your project will be placed in the Project Library. It will have the same name as the original, but with a number appended. You can rename it if desired - click on its name twice (not double-click) so that it is highlighted as light blue, then over-type it.
    Delete from the duplicate all the clips and other media (for example, photos, music and so forth) that you don't want included in the first of your 15 minute segments. In other words, delete all but the first 15 minutes.
    Continue creating duplicates of the original (and rename if necessary). Delete from each duplicate all the unrequired parts for each segment. So, for example, for the 2nd duplicate delete the first quarter (15 minutes) and the 3rd and 4th quarters.
    You should end up with 4 duplicates with separate names, each containing the required segment. You will also have kept intact the original one hour movie, which you may wish to use independently of YouTube (maybe for burning a DVD or playback through a Media Player).
    Note that duplicating the original project will not take up much extra space on your drive. Projects reference (link to) the associated Event (or Events) in the Event Library - they don't actually contain video as such. The project file also keeps track of titles, transitions, effects, music and so forth that you've added to the project.
