How do I loop a movie clip?

I have a 15 sec. movie clip of a burning fire. I need to stretch or loop the clip to about 12 minutes long. But how do I do that in iMovie. I would like a smooth transition between the loops.
(Using my old Mac with iMovie HD 6)

iMHD6 supports copy/paste..
select the clip, Apple-C, Apple-V .. 30sec
select both clips, Apple-C, Apple-V .. 60sec
select all clips, Apple-C, Apple-V .. 2min
select all clips, Apple-C, Apple-V .. 4min
select all clips, Apple-C, Apple-V .. 8min
select all clips, Apple-C, Apple-V .. 16min ooops ..
add dissolves +al gusto+ ..

  • Looping Background Movie Clip

    Hi i am having trouble with having a looping background movie
    clip on the bottom layer of my flash project. I have it on the
    bottom layer in the first frame, above it i have some menus fading
    in and it seems as though once it gets to this scene, it just plays
    the movie clip over and over and never goes to the 2nd frame of my
    scene. Is there anyway to have a looping background movie clip
    inside of flash 8?
    Thank you in advance,
    Tyler

    You can use a variable to keep count of how many times you loop, and until it exceeds a particulr value (2 or 3) you execute a setTimeout() call that waits for however long you want to delay and then tells the movieclip to gotoAndPlay(1).
    So in the first frame you would establish the counting variable...
    var count;
    if(count == undefined){ // only set it to 0 once
    count = 0;
    and in the last frame you would do your incrementing and control....
    stop();
    count += 1;
    if(count < 3){
    setTimeout(waitABit, 2000); // call function in 2 secs
    function waitABit(){
    gotoAndPlay(1);

  • 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 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..

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How do I stop a movie clip from looping

    I am using Action Script 3 and the 'stop()' function is not working to stop my movie clips from looping continuously.
    I have added the 'stop()' function to the last frame on the timeline of each movie clip.
    I originally built the .fla file in Flash CS6 using Action Script 2 where it was working with no problems (I have since upgraded and don't have access to CS6 anymore).
    I have all the separate movie clips positioned on Frame 1 of my main stage with the following script to start them playing:
    Cigarette_Reveal.play();
    KickTheHabit.play();
    BallMove.play();
    BallFlip.play();
    Offer.play();
    I want each of these movie clips to stop playing after one animation sequence is complete.
    Please help!

    Turn on strict mode in your publish settings. This will allow you to see the compiler errors that are preventing the actionscript in your fla from compiling correctly.

  • How to link from a movie clip to main timeline?

    My problem first appeared very simple, but I have spent a
    while on it and can't think how to solve it. I must say that I am
    very much an amateur in designing in Flash and ActionScript.
    I created a movie clip containing an embedded video and a
    sound clip. In the main timeline I inserted the movie clip into a
    keyframe. When I found the movie clip didn't play, I discovered
    that the only way of making it play was to place a Stop action in
    the keyframe of the movie clip, and also set the whole movie to
    loop. The Stop action stopped the whole movie from looping, but
    instead made the movie clip loop. If the keyframe is on frame 456,
    how do I make it advance onto frame 457 once the movie clip has
    finished running?
    I've tried various ways around the problem, including placing
    a button inside the movie clip to Go to and Play frame 457, but
    instead it plays frame 457 in the movie clip.
    Can anyone help me with this please?

    Hello,
    You need to tell flash the "target" you want to play. If not
    specified
    it will think it is the target you are calling from which in
    your case
    is the movie clip.
    So to go back and play one level up would be:
    _parent.gotoAndPlay(457);
    If the movie clip was inside another movie clip then it would
    be:
    _parent._parent.gotoAndPlay(457);
    or you can just referent the root of the movie directly:
    _root.gotoAndPlay(457);
    Search the help file for timeline target and you should find
    more about it.

  • Looping a movie clip a specific number of times in Flash

    Does anyone know how to get a movie clip to loop a specific number of times in Flash? I know how to stop a movie clip from looping by using the this.stop (); command by placing the command in a separate Action Script layer, in a keyframe, inside of the movie clip's timeline. This allows the movie clip to play through once and then stop. But I need for the movie clip to loop more than once, maybe 2 or 3 times, and then go back to the main timeline. Does anyone know the code for this?
    Also, is it possible to place a pause (I'm guessing, maybe by using a timer of some type?) between the loops, so that the movie will pause a couple of seconds before it loops again and then stop? Please note I do not need the movie clip to stop when there's an event like a rollover or anything. I just need it to play a couple of times, pause between plays and then stop and go back to the main timeline. Please let me know if anyone can help.
    Thanks,
    Sarah
    P.S. Is there a good, easy to use, reference book anyone can recommend for creating specific things in Flash using Action Script? Do you guys have a favorite for beginners like me?

    You can use a variable to keep count of how many times you loop, and until it exceeds a particulr value (2 or 3) you execute a setTimeout() call that waits for however long you want to delay and then tells the movieclip to gotoAndPlay(1).
    So in the first frame you would establish the counting variable...
    var count;
    if(count == undefined){ // only set it to 0 once
    count = 0;
    and in the last frame you would do your incrementing and control....
    stop();
    count += 1;
    if(count < 3){
    setTimeout(waitABit, 2000); // call function in 2 secs
    function waitABit(){
    gotoAndPlay(1);

  • 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 do I get a movie clip to follow the cursor?

    Hi guys,
    What I want:
    Is a simple action where I have my company logo in the middle of the screen and it follows the cursor (not over the whole screen but within invisible borders).
    What I use:
    I have Flash Pro CS5, code is Actionscript 3.0 and my company logo has been converted to a movie clip.
    What didn't work:
    So I watched 2 different tutorials on how to do this and both didn't work.
    With the first one I used this code:
    function gradientOver(event:MouseEvent):void{
              logomc.visible=true;
              function reportStageMouse(event:MouseEvent):void{
                        var myStageX:Number=Math.round(event.stageX);
                        var myStageY:Number=Math.round(event.stageY);
                        var xTween:Tween=new Tween(logomc,"x", Strong.easeOut, logomc.x, myStageX, 1, true);
                        var yTween:Tween=new Tween(logomc,"y", Strong.easeOut, logomc.y, myStageY, 1, true);
              stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,reportStageMouse);
    function gradientOut(event:MouseEvent):void{
              logomc.visible=false;
    function gradientClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
              logomc.visible=false;
    gradient.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,gradientOver);
    gradient.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,gradientOut);
    gradient.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,gradientClick);
    And with the second one I had to make a border by drawing an oval shape, turn it into a movie clip and put my logo inside of it. Then I used this code:
    stage.addEventListener("mouseMove", arjun);
    function arjun(e:MouseEvent):void
              var var1 = mouseY - followins.y;
              var var2 = mouseX - followins.x;
              var radiusR = Math.atan2(var1,var2);
              var degreeR = radiusR / (Math.PI / 180);
              followins.rotation = degreeR;

    Thanks
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, hideCursor);
    function hideCursor(e:MouseEvent):void{
    logomc.startDrag(true);
    Mouse.hide(true);
    so I used this code and it didn't work. I first try'd it on the main timeline and then inside the logo's own timeline and even inside the backgrounds own timeline.
    no luck so far..
