How do I edit a movie in less than 10 sec blocks?????

The title says it all. No instructions. No help. No, nothing.
I've found a way to edit a movie but I can't even do it by 1 sec!! WHAT A JOKE. Even my relatively cheap camera can do this simple task by the second, (unfortunately, the video I want to edit is from a different camera and in a different format).
HHEEELLLLPPPPP please because Apple Mac certainly doesn't want to.
I'm using iMovie 11 V9.4.0 and iOS 10.6.8. Also, am having to use a crap program called Toast to fix this problem.
What a F joke. I was lead to believe Apple was better than this.

I assumed you came here looking for help. I didn't assume that you were looking for others to perform tasks for you. Typically, that kind of activity is compensated in some real-world currency. Around here, we are just peers trying to help each other. It is generally not considered a sign of laziness to provide a searcher with the source materials. Providing a link ensures that when the source information is updated, the information contained in a post does not drift away from the source.
You seem to be lacking the most basic of interpersonal skills. Hiding four-letter words behind abbreviations is really unnecessary and does nothing to ease their foul nature. I would ask that you find a vocabulary that would suit the occasion. Thank you.
Re: "...how do you get to see what you've show me in Help"
I'm afraid I am at a loss to provide you with additional details without more information from you. Are you not able to see the page to which I provided a link?
Re: "...Trim, split and move clips"
From the page to which I provided a link:
          Extend or shorten a clip in the timeline
          In the timeline, skim to the beginning or end of the clip you want to extend or shorten.
          Do one of the following:
               To extend the clip: Drag the edge of the clip left or right, away from its center.
               To extend a clip, there must be unused portions of the clip available.
               To shorten the clip: Drag the edge of the clip left or right, toward its center.
          Use the clip trimmer
          You can use the clip trimmer to add more frames to a clip, or remove unwanted frames from a clip. Using the clip trimmer, you can see how much of your clip is being used, as well as how much is unused.
          In the timeline, select the clip you want to trim.
          Choose Window > Show Clip Trimmer.
          The clip trimmer appears over the timeline.
If that doesn't point you in the right direction, try Linux.....or an Etch-A-Sketch (http://www.amazon.com/Ohio-Art-Classic-Sketch-Screen/dp/B00000J0HG/ref=sr_1_1?ie =UTF8&qid=1425652015&sr=8-1&keywords=etch-a-sketch).

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.

Can anyone confirm if you can in fact shoot/edit (perhaps using a less than best video setting) on a Canon XA20 or Sony HXR-NX30U with iMovie 10 (Mavericks)? I do not want to convert files. Thx.

How to use room finder for meetings less than 30 minutes

Hi,
I'm currently investigating the use of the room finder option in Outlook 2010 (with Exchange 2010 as backend, on-premise).
However, we would like to use it to schedule meetings less than 30 minutes, but that doesn't seem to work.
The message "Suggestions are not provided for meetings with a duration of less than 30 minutes" appears in the suggested times box.
Is there a setting somewhere on the client or server that we can adjust to allow to use the room finder for meetings of 15 minutes?
Thanks a lot,
Michiel Peene.

Hi All,
Is this really the end of it? It's by design?
What I have noticed however is that it's not a problem with the meeting being less than 30 minutes, it's a problem with a meeting starting on a 15 minute or 45 minute mark of the hour. Even if the meeting is
scheduled for 1 hour, as long as the start time is X:15 or X:45, room finder will not display any suggestions.
One can schedule the meeting starting at quarter past or quarter too, the room finder will just not make any suggestions for a room. So what I have done and suggested to the PAs in the business to do, is to
find a room by starting off scheduling it to start on the hour. Then when you find a room that is available for that hour, select the room, then change the start time. If you want the meeting to be for less than an hour (say 45 mins) don't forget to change
the end time respectively. It automatically defaults the end time to either 60 mins or 30 mins after the start time.
[EDIT] - I have actually discovered that the start time can be anything other than on the hour or on the half hour and the problem/issue presents itself.
Is there a setting that perhaps can be configured with PowerShell that allows the room finder to see availability of rooms for the 15 minutes past and 15 minutes too the hour, and therefore suggest rooms?
I wonder if it is not something to do with the Availability service (Free/Busy service) configuration, anyone know what is configurable on the Availability service and how to configure it?
Did you ever find a solution to this ?
It's now 2014 and it would still be helpful to know whether there's a way to fix Room Finder's apparent incompatibility with non-X:00/X:30 meeting times!

How can I get recordings that are less than 96 kbps onto my iPhone if I am using iTunes Match?

I am using iTunes Match but it won't upload any files that are recorded at less than 96 kbps. I have recordings from several classes that I am taking online that I need to listen to on my iPad and iPhone. How can I get them on my devices? Do I just have to turn Match off and do it manually like before? Or is there a way to change the recording level in GarageBand?

I found the answer. Just double click on the recording in iTunes and select Create AAC Version. Then select Update iTunes Match under the Store tab. The recordings will now show up and play on your other devices.

How do I reduce a picture to less than 50kb and less than 500 by 500 ratio?

I'm trying to upload pictures to a Web site that requires the size of the picture to be no larger than 50kb, as well as less than 500 by
500.
I've tried cropping and exporting. I can get the aspect to less than
500 by 500, but then the kb size gets larger.
Thanks,
Paul

Paul,
iPhoto won't downsize your photos, since your original would lose much quality if you could do that. Just crop to best suit the aesthetics of the photo. Then to resize for the website, do File > Export > File Export to a Desktop folder. Instead of "full size" select "scale photos no larger than" and type 500 pixels in one of the dimension boxes. (Choose the larger dimension - width for landscape photos, or height for portrait.) iPhoto will automatically constrain the proportions and enter the second amount. Only the exported copies will be resized. Upload those from the Desktop to the website, then trash when finished.
Regards.

How do I edit Quicktime .mov video file in CS5 Extended ?

Hi !
I'm a photographer using Photoshop CS 5 Extended and editing video using Apple Final Cut Pro 7 NLE editing studio.
I'd like to edit video footage in CS5 Extended. I have a Quicktime video .mov file that was shot with a Canon 5D2 and Canon 15mm fisheye lens and i would like to defish the footage to rectilinear using Photoshops Lens Correction Filter.
I have tried opening the movie file in CS5 Extended and it appears as a video layer in my layers window. I can defish the first frame (according to Animation palette), but the lens correction needs to be over the whole footage not just the first frame.
How do i do this and then output retouched / defished .mov file ?
I assume you can use a similar process to clone out dust spots in footage too ?
Any help and advice would be much appreciated ... thanks ...

Wow ! That was a speedy reponse ... thankyou !
I didn't realise i needed to convert into a smart object ... I tried that and it works !
Woohoo !!
Only problem is ... the 10 second QT .Mov file has changed from 65Mb file size to 2.2Gb. It looks similar quality and the Quicktime settings were just default (High).
Any idea why file is sooooo big ?! Or how I can reduce it without losing too much quality ? Can't quite understand why the file size has ballooned and would be a problem editing it in Final Cut Pro 7.
Thanks again ...

How do I edit a .mov file in iMovie '09 without losing quality?

Hi!
Can anyone tell me how to edit .mov files in iMovie '09 without losing quality?
I have perfectly fine looking screen capture video from iShowU. It's 1024x768, 30 fps, Animation compression codec. It's a .mov file that looks great played in the QuickTime player. I can't even tell it's a movie -- it just looks like the screen I captured.
Now, I bring it into iMovie '09, trim the ends, and Export to QuickTime using no compression and the same fps and size. The output quality is noticeably lower than the input quality, which makes no sense to me because I'm telling the export not to compress (and my Preferences are set to "Import HD video as Full-Original Size".
I just want to trim the ends off a video -- maybe combine a couple files -- but without wrecking the quality of the originals. That really doesn't sound like it should be all that hard, but so far, it's been impossible.
Any pointers are greatly appreciated!!
-- gnagent

I've found the answer. On the File/Import/Movies... dialog, uncheck "Optimize Video" even if you have "Full - Original Size" selected. You don't want any optimizations done, even at original size. Then make sure you are exporting at precisely the same size as the original file, which means that under the Export to Quicktime/Options/Video Size dialog you do NOT want to check "Preserve aspect ratio using:" Just use "Custom" size and set your size to exactly what "Get Info" tells you when you view the file in the Finder.
Make sure that Video/Settings is set to Compression Type: None, and that you have the Frame Rate exactly what your original was.
Hope this helps someone.

How can I edit downloaded movies

I purchased and downloaded a movie on iTunes beause I wanted to pull some scenes for reference. I took the movie into Final Cut Pro but received the notice that I could only play the movie in iTunes. Does anyone know a way to get around this restriction? I paid for the movie, I should be able to cut some scenes out.

Welcome to the world of digital movie downloads. Movies from any legal download store will carry copy protection and hence cannot be edited, and ripping of DVDs and Blu-Ray disks is illegal in most countries. So there is no quite probably no legal way to accomplish what you wish to do, though there may be absolutely nothing that would be wrong about what you intend.

How to export edited GoPro mov from Premiere with same settings & similar size?

I feel like this should be easy but every time I try to export my edited video it's much bigger than the original, or it's smaller and bad quality.
My business partner sent me a 720p GoPro MOV that is 33:50 long and 1.78GB. I edited out 3 minutes and want to render in the same quality.
I've tried exporting as MOV and MP4 with various settings and it either ends up huge, like 25GB or more, or half the size and terrible quality.
I also tried rendering "match sequence settings" and it chooses a GoPro codec with a weird file extension (MXF).
The closest I've gotten is H.264 "Match Source - High bitrate" but that's still 2.29GB
Thanks,
Phil

i would guess the gopro MOV file that was sent to you is h264. you can adjust the bitrate on export to h264 from premiere so its smaller. if you want more compression with sightly better quality you will have to export as dnxhd/prores or even uncompressed and then use a program like handbrake to transcode to x264 or x265.

HBO movie selection less than Comcast

Ever since I switched from Comcast to Verizon, my wife and I have noticed that the number/selection of movies available via our HBO package is way down. We're trying to figure out if Verizon purchases a more limited HBO package than Comcast or if, coincident with our switch to Verizon, HBO cut back on the number of movies it offered. The selection offered on HBO On-Demand is similarly affected.
We don't watch that much TV, but feel like there's never anything new to watch on HBO.
Has anyone else noted the same change? Or, does anyone have an explanation?
Frustrated,
A-Man

I really appreciate the fact that HBO On Demand can be seen in HD. That was a major drawback when trying to cue up some HBO programming at will.
However, I noticed that what the HBO website says is currently running on demand is different than what we see is available through our Verizon set-top box. For instance, I went to look for Watchmen (which HBO is currently saying should be available through On Demand), but my FiOS TV says that only Jurassic Park and something else I didn't want to watch were available.
As an HBO subscriber, I feel that we should be getting exactly what HBO is putting out there. In fact, there's a lot of programming that HBO has made available through On Demand, but those options aren't there for FiOS.
After going through the proper customer support channels with Verizon, I'm just getting the standard runaround. "Call tech support", "call billing". I see where this is headed. Probalby to me switching to AT&T U-Verse or satellite. It's really sad when something as simple as trying to get what you paid for turns into a mountain.

How to adjust the Viewer window to less than 25% ?

Hi all experts,
At the top of the viewer window, there is a dropdown to select the % of the screen. The option given are FIT, 25% ... etc.
But how to adjust to smaller than 25% ? Or for that matter, how to type in a percentage number ?
Thanks

Thanks Tom,
So the minimum size is set at 15%.

How can document margins be set to less than one inch?

As a teacher I rarely use one inch margins for my documents, I almost always use half inch margins, top, bottom, right, and 3/4 inch on left. Limiting to one inch will force me to use another word processor.

Which is the fool which told you that margins can't be smaller than one inch ?
Look carefully at this screenshot.

How me make the UIButton's alpha less than 1?

Right now if I add a button in Interface Builder and then in view attribute of "button attributes", i can find a place to adjust the alpha, but the problem is that when i adjust the alpha, the whole button's alpha changes, even the alpha of the label changes.
But what i want is that I want to have label's alpha not changed but the other places of the button's alpha changed, is there a way to do it?

Ok. Here's a custom subclass of UIButton that might do what you want. It's based on the example of a label over a button I described in my last post. But instead of a label this class is built from a Custom type button with a Rounded Rect type button under it:
// MyButton.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#define kNormalAlpha 0.5 // default normal background alpha
#define kHiliteAlpha 0.8 // default hilighted background alpha
@interface MyButton : UIButton {
UIButton *bgButton; // used only to draw the background
CGFloat bgNormalAlpha; // alpha of background for normal state
CGFloat bgHiliteAlpha; // alpha of background for highlighted state
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIButton *bgButton;
- (void)setBgAlpha:(CGFloat)value forState:(UIControlState)state;
@end
// MyButton.m
#import "MyButton.h"
@implementation MyButton
@synthesize bgButton;
- (void)setBgAlpha:(CGFloat)value forState:(UIControlState)state {
if (state == UIControlStateHighlighted)
bgHiliteAlpha = value;
else
bgNormalAlpha = value;
bgButton.alpha = self.highlighted ? bgHiliteAlpha : bgNormalAlpha;
// override setter so background can track current state
- (void)setHighlighted:(BOOL)highlighted {
// NSLog(@"%s: %d", _func_, highlighted);
[super setHighlighted:highlighted];
[bgButton setHighlighted:highlighted];
bgButton.alpha = highlighted ? bgHiliteAlpha : bgNormalAlpha;
- (void)myInit {
// set default alpha values
bgNormalAlpha = kNormalAlpha;
bgHiliteAlpha = kHiliteAlpha;
// make background button
self.bgButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
bgButton.frame = self.frame;
bgButton.autoresizingMask = self.autoresizingMask;
bgButton.alpha = bgNormalAlpha;
- (void)didMoveToSuperview {
NSLog(@"%s", _func_);
[super didMoveToSuperview];
[self.superview insertSubview:bgButton belowSubview:self];
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
if (self = [super initWithFrame:frame]) {
NSLog(@"%s: buttonType=%d", _func_, self.buttonType);
[self myInit];
return self;
- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder*)aDecoder {
if (self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder]) {
NSLog(@"%s: buttonType=%d", _func_, self.buttonType);
[self myInit];
return self;
- (void)dealloc {
[bgButton release];
[super dealloc];
@end
To use this class, just add the above @interface and @implementation to your project (File->New File..., name the files "MyButton", then replace the contents by pasting directly from this forum page). You should then be able to customize any UIButton object in IB by selecting the button and setting its Class to MyButton in the Identity Inspector. To create an instance of MyButton in code, use initWithFrame.
