How can I remove the black slide?

I created a slide show in iPhoto and saved it as a movie, .mov
Apparently in the conversion, a black slide was created at the beginning. This slide is not visible in iPhoto, but it is in .mov and MPEG-4
Does anyone know how to remove that black slide?
Thanks,
Jeanie

Jeanie:
Do you have Quicktime Pro? If so you can move the play head arrows in Quicktime Player to each side of the black frame and cut it out. If you don't have QT Pro try it anyway with QT Player. It might allow that type of editing. Otherwise try using iMovie to trim the black start frame off.
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 versions) 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Using footage from my iPhone 4, how can I remove the black bars on the sides of my picture? Or change the color to white...

    My footage is vertical and there are two black bars on the side filling in the rest of the picture. I want to imbed this into PowerPoint without the black bars on the side. Any suggestions on how I can remove them or at least change the color to white? I changed the background color in View > Background > White, but it was only for editing purposes and didn't keep the color after rendering.

    To change the background to white, in FCE, place the video on track V2 and place a color matte generator on track V1.  The default color for the color matte is grey so you'll need to change it to white using the color picker.

  • How can I remove the black borders after draggin in a M2TS file?

    I record gaming videos with my HD PVR and the output of the file is M2TS. Everytime I drag it in Premiere, it will show small black borders at the top and to the right of the video. I knew how to do this in Vegas but am clueless on how to do it in Premiere.
    The M2TS file is 1280x720

    See if this helps...

  • How can I fade the first slide in a slideshow in from black?

    Novice user here, but I can't seem to find an answer to this question. I've created a couple of slideshow, and have imported them to iDVD to burn the DVDs. When I play the show in iPhoto, they're fine. But when I play a finished DVD (or the demo of the DVD in iDVD), the first slide does not fade in like iPhoto did. It's a really jarring start. I fiddled with Ken Burns effects, but all that seems to do it effect how the slide ends, not how it starts.
    How can I start the DVD slide show at black and fade the first slide in, just like iPhoto automatically did?
    BTW ... haven't upgrade to the new iLife software yet if that helps.

    Hi DogWonder!
    if it were me, I think the simplest thing to do is take a photo with the lens cover on the camera, basically a black pic. Now use this one at the beginning of your DVD/Slide Show... or even between slides for a little more drama, if you wanted...
    Good luck, Rick

    How can i remove the terms and conditions from my app store icon on iphone 5s

    Hello mrh1962,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with accepting Terms & Conditions on your iPhone 5s.
    First, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • How can I remove the 'apps' toolbar (the one below the bookmarks toolbar)?

    '''In FF4, how can I remove the 'apps' toolbar?'''
    (My computer screen is now smaller than before due to this new black strip. A 'right click' doesn't help. the "+" on the left only takes me to 'conduit'. I am not interested in this feature at all.)
    Thanks, Reg.

    I had the same problem and was able to remove the empty apps bar by doing the following:
    1. Click on Tools in Mozilla; 2. Click on Add-Ons; 3. Click on Extensions; 4. Look for an add-on called Conduit app; 5. Click to the right of Conduit app to Remove Conduit App; and 6. Restart Firefox: hooray - it's gone!

  • Help! How can i remove the lock sign on my ipad3? it can't open, rotate or turn to next page because there is a lock sign at the bottom?

    Help! How can I remove the lock sign on my ipad3? it cannot rotate, turn to next page, or even open when it's on standby mode, even when i press the home button it cant open..thanks

    I'm not sure exactly what you are seeing but .....
    If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
    Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
    If the iPad is not responsive and you cannot slid to unlock the screen - try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    Hello Mudassar,
    In SQL Server / T-SQL we don't have a native JSON support, so you would have to implement a solution on your own = parsing the string and remove the "Key" + it's value.

  • HT3702 how can i remove the authorization hold from my card...

    how can i remove the authorization hold from my card

    You can try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store
    How much was the amount ? A 'normal' holding charge is a small amount (e.g. equivalent to about $1), and usually happens after you add or change credit card details on your account. Here in the UK it can take a few working days for it to disappear (so a weekend can extend the elapsed time).
    Edit : I don't know what a non-liability certificate is and/or whether Apple can do one.
