How can I straighten a movie clip?

I have some great footage from an interview, unfortunately the windowsill behind the subject is skewed. Is there a way to straighten it in Imovie or another inexpensive application?

Bluter,
Is there a way to straighten it in Imovie or another inexpensive application?
As you've found out, iMovie '11 is limited to 90º increments of rotation. If there's an inexpensive, currenlty available app out there that can rotate video, I've yet to come across it.
I can tell you that Final Cut Pro X does the kind of free-rotation you're looking for. But, it's a $300 app. An excellent value if you do a lot of editing a bit steep for the average home user.
There is a free 30 day trial version available that I suppose you could use for making the correction in this one project as long as you get it done withing 30 days.

How can i let a move clip complete his motion tween movement after dragging and dropping it

hi how can i let a move clip complete his motion tween movement after dragging and dropping it
i am using this code and there is a motion tween applies to the movie clip r_mc
r_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,fun); r_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,fun2); function fun(event:MouseEvent):void { stop(); r_mc.startDrag();
function fun2(event:MouseEvent):void {
play(); r_mc.stopDrag();

i have a simple .fla file wich contains MC that has
a motion tween(its moving from the left to the right of the stage)
this motion tween covers the whole time line ( there is only 50 frames in the time line)
i mean in the frame 1 the MC appears in the left of the stage
and in the frame 50 the MC appears in the right of the stage and there is a motion tween between them
every thing till now working well
i want to make that MC dragabble
so when i drag the MC i will use stop()
and when i drop it i will use play()
but the problem is that the mc doesnt move and complete
his motion tween movement when i drop it
for example the MC will be in the middle of the stage in frame 25
in this frame (25) i am draging the MC ,stoping the timeline,dropping the MC and resum playing the timeline again
but the MC freezes in the middle of the stage and doesnt go to the right of the stageo until the flash loops and start from the frame 1 again
here is the example wich i am worikng on

How can I display a Movie clip from library on stage in AS3?

Hi,
I have a movie clip in my library and I would like to display it on the stage using AS3.
do I have to define it as a variable?Do I need to use this code: addchild(movieclip);
can I use the 'x' and 'y' to position it?
What would the code look like?
Ben.

Great! it works well ! thanks
But I have another question, if I wanted to used the same movie clip but postion it at different x and y positions when a different btn is selected how could I do that?
Would I have to make a copy of the movie clip and give it a different name?
or is there an better way around it?
Ben.

How can i hide a movie clip?

is it possible for me to hide a movie clip by the press of a button that is on a differant timeline?
here is my code for button.
stop();
submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, subClick);
failed_txt.background = false;
failed_txt.border = false;
var myName:String;
var myPass:String;
function subClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
myName=name_txt.text;
myPass=pass_txt.text;
if(myName == "gallery" && myPass == "password"){
gotoAndStop("hidden");
} else{
failed_txt.text = "Please enter a valid password.";
Many thanks.
Michael Down

Yes, it should be possible, but you need to provide some explanation of what you want it to do that it doesn't. How are things on different timelines and what symbol is supposed to be getting hidden?

How can i remove a movie clip container

Hallo friend,
I am dealing with this problem.
In the first frame of my project i am designing a movie clip
dynamicaly - with action script 2 - which i use as a container in
order to fill it with attachments to other movie clips and with
text boxes which i make dynamically too.
The problem is that i want to delete this container in order
to have a quickly way to delete the object that contains, but i
can't find a way to do this.
I have tried the functions removeMovieClip() and
unloadMovie(), but there was no result.
Please, can somebody help me with this ?

Friends forgive me for my absence but i do had a very
defficult period, as i wal looking for new job.
Enyway, now i have time and tommorow i will post the code, in
order to let you understand the way i build it.
My friend, uomodicuore2 i use the correct path to the
function unloadMovie() and removeMovieClip()
Friend ric5611 i don't use flash components

How can I get my movie clip to resize according to screen size?

I have a movie clip (startMenu); inside it there are buttons, text, and graphics. This is a game I am making, and it will be played on different screen sizes of Android. This is the code I have so far:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT
startMenu.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeLayout);
function resizeLayout(e:Event):void
    setPosition();
function setPosition():void
     startMenu.x = (stage.stageWidth - startMenu.width) / 2;
        startMenu.y = (stage.stageHeight - startMenu.height) /2;
When I run it on different phones using debugging, it locks on the left hand corner, but does stretch out to fit the whole screen. What should I do?

try changing
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
to
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;

How can you make a movie clip zoom in on play?

I simply have a rectangle vector image of a landscape and I want it to zoom in when I play it...and I guess stop at a certain point. Not a clicking function or roll over, just when I start up my swf file or go to that specific scene I want it start zooming (gradually, not fast either). Please help me. Thank you!

Convert the image into a movieclip, give it an instance name, and look into using the Tween class to provide the gradually changes of the scaleX and scaleY values of whatever object you wish to zoom.
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var twX:Tween = new Tween(instanceName, "scaleX", Regular.easeIn, startValue, endValue, zoomSecs, true);
var twY:Tween = new Tween(instanceName, "scaleY", Regular.easeIn, startValue, endValue, zoomSecs, true);
The code above is written instructively more than literally. Anything I've bolded you can/need to define.
Many people will recommend using third party tweening classes due to better performance and other reasons. So you may want to look into them after you get this working.

How can I blend two video clips where they join side by side in one movie?

Hello Marvelous Movie Making Minds,
I am working with Adobe Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 machine.
How can I blend two video clips where they join side by side in one movie?
I know how to place two or more video clips together in the same movie, but how can I give them a bit of a blend just where they join?
I have a PDF instruction manual and the built-in web browser instructions. In the instruction manual in "Chapter 7: Superimposing and Compositing" it talks about the transparency of any video clip, and I understand that... but I don't want to make one or the other video clip transparent anyplace except where the two video clips join together with perhaps a bit of overlap.
I'd like to make a little blur just where the two videos join in the middle... is this possible?
Thanks,
digi

Aha that kind of blending.
Have not used 6.5 in a loooooooong time.
So this is from memory, hope i get this right.
Set the two clip on top of each other
Make a matte in Photoshop and superimpose this over the two clips.
Go to the Transparancy Settings and set the top clip in video 2 to Alpha key.
Screendump for matte:
The right side is made black just for the forum but should be transparant.

How do I separate short movie clips loaded from my digital camera to iPhoto 11 at the same time pics are downloaded and how do I get those video clips to a dvd that will play on a dvd player

When loading pics to iphoto 11 from my camera, occassionaly it will include some video clips with the description of Movxxxx. I wonder if someone could direct me to some straight forward instructions as to how to transfer these video (movie) clips, which now exist in iphoto, to a dvd that will play on a dvd player as one might expect to see a video play, including the audio that was captured at the time of filming.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer this novice.

You need to open iMovie and it will have a event library called iPhoto Videos, click on that and the videos will load in the window next to it, then you make a new project in iMovie. Then open iDVD and make a new project then import the movies to the program then burn to a DVD..

I have a sony handicam and I imported the clips to iMovie and they lost quality and converted the audio to stereo. I want to import the project to final cut X and import the AVCHD in 1080p and surround sound and export the movie in bluray. Can I relink the clips without editing everything again?
thanks!

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

How to build a custom movie clip that will be used as a cell renderer for column in a grid ?

i want to build a datagrid that shows a picture and underneath it a name.
the problem is i dont want to see all of the pictures, but all the pictures that have certain requirements, so i cant just make one movie clip that includes all the pictures and names.
so my question is how do i build a movie clip that contains photo and text?.

You do not create movieclips on the timeline using code, though you can create them and add them as children of something that has been manually placed in the timeline.
To create a MovieClip using code you use:
    var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
If you need to add an image, then however you intend to acquire the image, after it has been acquired, you add it to the MovieClip using:
    mc.addChild(img);
where img is the instance of whatever form of object the image takes (Bitmap, Loader)
If you need to add a TextField to the MovieClip then you use:
    var tf:TextField = new TextField();
    mc.addChild(tf);
and you can set up properties for the textfield such as the font and color and position as well after it has been instantiated (the first line).

How to stop , play nested movie clips....

Hi all,
I'm calling a swf file in a container_mc, which is in
another swf file(Interface), by loadMovie() method. The Major
problem I've stucked with is that in the interface I'm having a
Play/Pause Button, which is not stopping the nested movieclips of
the external swf file which is loaded in the container_mc
movieclip.
The other major issue is that I'm not able to add a
progressbar(sliderbar) which runs according to the animation, to
this interface. Please help ASAP

I have a similiar situation however the container_mc has me
puzzled, I'm not sure what that is - perhaps you can answer my
question:
I have a master swf called index.swf. The index.swf has a
main tool bar of buttons which load frames; each frame is named to
coincide with the main bar button (i.e. genInfo, setup,
mainentance, etc). This works perfectly. My problem is with Movie
Clips.
Each frame has a sidebar which loads external swfs (i.e.
genInfo.swf) - each external swf is made up of a series of Movie
Clips which run in succession along the timeline; each Movie Clip
belongs within its own frame (i.e. MCseg1 is in frame seg1; MCseg2
is in frame seg2, etc).
I need to pause and play each individual Movie Clip at will;
I have built two buttons (pauseBtn and playBtn) into a Movie Clip
called MCpausePlay. The first frame of MCpausePlay contains the
pauseBtn; this frame is coded with the global "stop();" In order to
move to frame(2) which contains the playBtn, the pauseBtn is coded
with -
on(release) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
The playBtn is coded:
on(release) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
When clicked, the MCpausePlay moves from pause to play.
That's all I have been able to get this to do.
How do I code MCpausePlay to pause and then play each
individual Movie Clip? (How do I get a Movie Clip to control other
Movie Clips?). Should I code the Movie Clip, the frames within the
Movie Clip, or each individual button within the Movie Clip? And,
does this MCpausePlay belong on the Index.swf file, or should it be
on each external swf? Or perhaps built in to every Movie Clip? I
have tried all and have not had any success.

Hallo!! how can i delete a rejected clip in iMovie 10.0.7?? Or is it not possible??

Hallo!! how can i delete a rejected clip in iMovie 10.0.7?? Or is it not possible??

You can delete a complete clip which is not in use in any project by right-clicking it and choosing "move to trash". It won't actually appear in the trash can but will be permanently deleted when you quit iMovie.

HT6196 how do I edit a movie clip to get rid of unwanted parts of a clip

how do I edit a movie clip in thelatest version of I movie to get rid of unwanted parts of a clip

You can split a clip into pieces using Quicktime Player. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5879?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
for details.
Second question:
I don't know what you want to acheive but yhe only way I can think of to move a precise time into a clip is to select it and trim it - whilst trimming the time amount trimmed is displayed. Stop when you have the right amount then position the playhead there. You can then 'untrim it' and he playhead will be at the desired spot.
