How to split a video clip from iMovie Help.
Just played a little with this myself and came up with another way to approach it. From your list of clips tap once on the clip you want to insert, then adjust the yellow selection handles and click the blue arrow to insert. Repeat with the next section.

How do i "cut" parts out of tracks in i-tunes

ages ago when i 1st got an i-pod someone told me how to selectively cut unwanted parts (ie 20 mins of silence) out of tracks in i-tunes..... for example so that when i have "something in the way" from "nevermind" in my i-tunes instead of the track being over 20 mins long, it is only the 3mins 48secs of the actual song.
can anyone remind me as to how this is done. many thanks

glad you got it working marti.
we've got a user tip on the itunes technique now, so you can refer to that just in case memory fails (i know that feeling ...) again.

How to play with part of the video.??

I mean that how can I separate the video to several parts,(maybe 2 frames to one part). and then How to play one part of them with JMF.
I want to use this to implement the p2p system. If I can solove there two issues, I think I can use some routing arithmetic to transfer some parts to peers. The peer with one thread just play the current frame, and create another one to download the following parts.
could you guys suggest me ??

Yeah, I do p2p with jmf.
In p2p system, the souce of video send the parts to the network(earch part has a UID,such as 1,2,3,4,5...), and the other computers receive some of them.(the parts must can play continuously) .And in the memery of each computer have a buffer to download the following parts from the network, not from the source.
In this way, some peers of the network can communicate.For example,
Peer A have the 1st ,3rd,5th parts,and Peer B have the 2nd,4th parts.
When A paly the 1st part, at the same A download from B the 2nd part, Then A can play in turn. In the same way B can download the 3rd part from A.
Maybe my way is not right, do you have another way to implement the p2p, or the materail about it.
Waiting for your replay....

When playing movie in project window it cuts part of the video screen

I purchased Call Recorder for Skype to record my girls violin lesson over skype with their teacher in Bermuda. Now I need to cut certain parts of the video so we can play it during practice .. I don’t want to play the entire video. I had the Record Video set to "Two Track (Advanced)". I imported the recorded .mov file into iMovie. Then I skimmed the video and selected the part that I am interested in and dragged it to the project window. Now when I play the movie in the event browser, it plays the movie as I would like to side by side. However when I play the segment that I selected in the project window, it cuts 1/2 of each window which is not what I want as I would like to able to play this clip showing both the teacher and the student. What do I need to do???? Help!!!!! Thanks!

Hi Runa,
There are a couple of things you need to check. Firstly, click on the small gear icon at the start of the clip (segment). Select "Cropping, Ken Burns and Rotation" from the pop-up menu. In the top left corner of the Viewer, click on "Fit".
Secondly, in iMovie's menu go to File>Project Properties. In the window that opens select the "Timing" tab. For the items "Initial Photo Placement" and "Initial Video Placement" select "Fit in Frame".
You may need to follow only the second suggestion, as this may fix the whole project for you. Otherwise, use the first suggestion for each of the clips (segments) in your project.
Also, in the Project Properties General tab ensure that you have set the correct Aspect Ratio for your project, that is, Widescreen (16:9) or Standard (4:3).

Why can't I rotate just part of my video in iMovie 11?

I recorded a video on my iPhone 4S and part way through someone turned it around. I have uploaded it to iMovie 11, hoping I can rotate just part of the video that was turned the wrong way, but I can't find a way to do this, as it rotates the entire clip. Surely there is a capacity to select part of the video and rotate just that? Any help appreciated.

split the clip into 3 parts
cmd-shift-S
turn the seperated part .....

How can I get my personal home videos into iMovie?

I REALLY wanted to make my sister a special birthday video with home videos. I put the home videos which are on DVDs into my laptop and I tried just about everything, but nothing is working to convert these so that they can go into iMovie. Can someone PLEASE help me? This is super stressful. -__-

This tip will show you how to import your home movie on DVD into iMovie 11 for editing. It will not work on commercial, copy-protected DVDs. (Ripping commercial DVDs is against the Terms of Use of the Apple Discussions).
DVDs are encoded by iDVD into MPEG2, which iMovie cannot edit. So you need to convert the DVD into a codec that iMovie can edit. For highest quality, I recommend that you convert the DVD to Apple Intermediate Codec. There is a free tool called MPEG Streamclip that will do this. You will also need to install the Apple QuickTIme MPEG2 Playback Component.
Here are the details.
1) Download and install the Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component ($20) - available online from Apple.
2) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free).
3) Start MPEG Streamclip
4) Insert your DVD into your Mac. If DVD Player or Front Row starts automatically, quit those.
5) Open a Finder window. Navigate to the DVD.
6) Drag the Video_TS folder from your DVD and drop it into MPEG Streamclip.
7) If MPEG Streamclip offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes.
8) Use FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (or h.264 if you prefer)
9) Optional steps.
9a) Optional: You can deinterlace your footage in this step, if you like. If you don't know which is best, try a short clip both ways. I usually do not deinterlace.
9b) Optional: If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
(let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
9c) Optional: If you don't want to make one huge clip out of your DVD, you can make smaller clips by using MPEG Streamclip. Move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then do steps 8 through 10 and repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
10) Save the resulting file in a place where you can find it, like your Desktop.
11) Open iMovie.
12) In iMovie, choose FILE/IMPORT/Movies... and choose the file you saved in steps 8, 9, 10.
13) iMovie will generate thumbnails and you can edit.

How do I overlay part of one video onto another one?

Maybe a simple question, but I can't find the answer after a couple hours of searching:
I have a time lapse video of a sunrise and a real time video of a plane landing. I'd like to put the "real speed" airplane into the time lapse background (the shots are identical location) using Final Cut Pro X.
I thought an effects mask was the key, but it seems like i'm unable to track the movement of the plane by using keyframes. Is this something I have to do in Motion?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Just in case anyone reading this is not too sure about keyframing, take a look at this excellent video tutorial that shows just how simple it is.
Also check out his other tutorials.
I have only one gripe about them. He writes down the instructions onscreen instead of speaking them and I find it impossible to read and watch mouse-movements simultaneously, so I have to keep pausing the video.

If you have got Firefox with the DownloadHelper plugin you can download them in anything up to 1080p.

How can I cut a section of video, but leave the audio playing?

iMovie 6
Hi, I want to edit, or remove a small section of video, but leave the audio playing in the background. I want to just put up a picture in the same spot. But, I need the video's audio to keep playing. I videotaped someone speaking, but there is a section where there is a mistake, namely, the camera was moved. I need to keep the audio going, and figured I would just put a still image of text or picture in the section where the mistake is, that's why I need the audio to keep playing. It's too long of a section to just do a transition to cover the mistake. Can someone help me with this? I guess you could call what I want to do is cut to a still image while the audio keeps playing?
Thanks

How can I open a Movie Maker video on iMovie?

I'm trying to transfer a movie maker to the imovie? is it possible? how? thanks(:

The 2 options for saving a video file from Movie Maker are either DV-AVI or WMV. To create a Mac-compatible video file, open the MSWMM file in Windows Movie Maker, save the movie at the highest quality setting WMV or preferably as a DV-AVI format file. Import this finished AVI or WMV file into iMovie or other Mac video editing application.
After the MSWMM file saving as AVI or WMV file in our PC, you can play the WMV/AVI files on your PC and convert them to another video format or burn to DV

How can you create a jpeg from video in imovie 13?

In imovie11 you could hit share, convert using quicktime, and then select mov to jpeg or gif. that option is not available in imovie13? Anyone know how to create a jpeg or gif in the new imovie?

When you say you would drag the image itself into the Swatch Palette and it would show the image itself? How would then use this swatch? Can you give an example of what you would apply a jpeg to as a swatch? The only palette that I can think of off the top of my head that you can drag a jpeg into and have the icon appear as the jpeg is the Symbols Palette. Is is possible that you were using the Symbols Palette in the past and not the Swatch Palette?

How come, when I upload a home video from iMovie to YouTube, the uploaded video is not iPad/iPhone supported?????

I connected a couple of home video clips from my iPhone in iMovie and then uploaded it to YouTube so that I could share the link with family. When the upload is complete, the video says that it is no in iPhone format and cannot be viewed? Whats up with that crap? Is there something I can do about it?

You tube converts the video to multiple formats when you upload.
Sometimes it takes a while for the video to be viewable.
And sometimes you tube converts to other formats before it makes ios versions.
Just wait a few hours and try again.
It will become viewable in time.
If it does not then you would be better to contact google.
You tube is theirs, and issues need to be told to them.

How to transfer DVD RAM (MPeg 2) videos into imovie?

I just bought an IMAC with OS X and Tiger to transfer all my DVD RAM discs into imovie, only to find out imac doesn't recognize the camera (Hitachi DZ-MV100A). Does anyone know of a drive I can buy to connect to the IMAC that would allow me to transfer, or the most straitforward way through software to transfer?
imac Mac OS X (10.4)
Thanks, Clay

using a DVDcamcoder you stumble into the following hurdles to go:
* DVDcamcorders don't support the firewire protocol
* slot-in drives can get damaged, inserting non-standard-shaped disks (does your camera use normal or miniDVDs?)
* your disks have to be finalized in your camera - read camera's manual how to accomplish that...
after that, you can handle these DVDs as normal ones (selfmade have no copyprotection, so no need of usage of any Ripper/Handbrake..)
you will realize a loss of quality, due to the nature of DVDs, which use a deivery-format, not meant for further processing, but we do read reports here, some people are still satisfied...
your options are, in recommended order:
* DVDxDV (free trial, 25$)
* Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + Streamclip (free)
* Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
* Toast6/7 allows converting to dv/import dvd, hit apple-k
* connect a miniDV Camera with anlogue-in to DVD-player and copy to tape/use as converter

How do I cut out a scene

I have just got my MacBook and am trying out my iMovie. I have the disadvantage that I cannot access the help menu through my iMovie program. I have spoken to Apple and they have tried a lot of things and it cost a lot of money, but I still can't access it.
I have some clips that have a lot of "dead" scenes which I would like to remove. Can anyone tell me how to remove a part of a video so that I only have what I want?

editing is vice versa:
you choose the scenes you want
select in your Event the part(s) you like and add to your Projects.
