How do I place photos in specific places in the timeline

I don't want to build my project linearly. I want to place photos in certain places, but when I try to import any they always go to the start of the timeline.
How do I put these photos where I want them, so they can become my guideposts in the timeline?

Hey Mark Burgess,
I have an article for you about importing photos into your timeline in iMovie and positioning them correctly in your project:
iMovie '11: Add photos from iPhoto to a project
After you find the photo you want to use, click the photo to see a preview in the viewer. Then do one of the following to add it to your project:
Drag it between clips or between a clip and a transition. As you drag, a vertical green line appears anyplace you can add the photo. When you add a photo, by default it is set to remain onscreen for four seconds, but you can change this duration if you want. Also, the Ken Burns effect is applied to the photo, which makes it appear as though the camera is panning across and zooming in on the image. You can modify this effect if you choose. Refer to the “See also” topics below for more information.
Drag the photo to a video clip; a green Add (+) symbol appears where you can drop it. From the menu that appears, you can choose to replace the video clip with the photo or insert the photo. If Advanced Tools are turned on, you can add the photo as a picture-in-picture clip, and more.
Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

How do I link to a specific frame in the timeline of an Edge document from a different page?

lI have the intro of my new website made in Adobe Edge Animate, however I don't want people to watch the intro every time they click "back". So is there a way of linking directly to a label from another page? Should I use something like:
"<a href="page_URL.com/edge_file.html" target="label_in_the_timeline">"

Hey Squeege,
I highly recommend you becoming familiar with basic javascript syntax (setting variables, functions, scope, if/else statements). Knowing at least the basics really makes Edge Animate come alive, and gives you a lot more power inside the application.
Taking the code from the other thread, you would do something like this, on Stage.compositionReady event:
// function to grab specified param
sym.getParam = function(name) {
    name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\\]");
    var regexS = "[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)";
    var regex = new RegExp(regexS);
    var results = regex.exec(window.location.href);
    if (results == null)
        return "";
    else
        return results[1];
// get query param called 'param', (should be "true", "false", or leave it out)
var playIntro = sym.getParam('param');
if( playIntro == "true" ) {
     // tell sym to play intro label
     sym.play( "intro" );
}else if( playIntro == "" ) {
     // tell sym to play intro label
     sym.play( "intro" );
}else if( playIntro == "false" ) {
     // tell sym to play skipIntro label
     sym.play( "skipIntro" );

How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud?

How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud? I backed up my iphone to the Cloud but now the files are nowhere to be found.
I had to reset all content and settings in order to troubleshoot an issue. Before I did this, I backed up the iphone to icloud. When I reprogrammed the phone, I had to set it up as a new device and individually sync apps and other items from itunes. But by doing this, I somehow lost some videos and can't seem to find where they would have been saved/backed up. Can anyone offer any guidance?

You can't view photos and videos on icloud (except for shared photo stream pics). iCloud merely sync photos between devices using the stream. If you don't have photo stream turned on, then the only place photos in the camera roll are located are in a backup. You would have to restore from the backup. But be warned that many users have ended up losing their photos when performing a restore, for whatever reason.
What you should do in the future is always sync photos/videos to a computer for storage, don't leave them on a device or trust icloud to somehow store them.

I have 2 Macs - an iMac that holds my entire iPhoto library and a Mac Book Pro that I use to hold a subset of the main library - how can I transfer photos and their metadata from the main library of the iMac to my Mac Book?

Thanks for your quick response. I thought I had tried that but I must not have because it worked perfectly.

Using Flach CS4 and action script 2.0 how do I advance to a specific frame of the main timeline when a movie clip instance come to the end of its timeline?

code on the last frame of your movieclip instance:
_root.gotoAndStop('whatever_frame'); // will work unless this swf is loaded into another swf. in that situation, you should use a relative path to the main timeline (eg, _parent or _parent._parent etc).

How to recover my photo i was accidentally syn the ipad mini to other device

how to recover my photo i was accidentally syn the ipad mini to other device

I don't think recovery software will help since the file isn't just deleted, it's overwritten. If you want to try, the backups are located at one of these locations:
Mac OS: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
Windows XP: %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows Vista: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

FCPX: In Event Library: how to know if a video was used in the timeline of Final Cut Pro X?

In Event Library: how to know if a video was used in the timeline of Final Cut Pro X?
An example: In Premiere Pro, the whole video is added to the timeline identified as used in their video library. Facilitating our work on a big project, not to repeat videos. You can do this in FCPX?

The way it works in FCP:
Working from the Timeline Index, you can see lists of all clips in the sequence and their location in the timeline.
You can also do a search (kevn) to narrow the results.

Technically, to make the function keys work you don't need to change the second box to dash. I don't know why I gave that advice, but it isn't necessary. I guess I said that simply because that's what I have it set to.
The reason there are two boxes is so that you can set Exposé to using both the function keys and the mouse. For example, if I have +All Windows+ set to F9 and Secondary Mouse Button, then it will show all open windows if I click F9 or right-click. That is why you actually don't need to have the second boxes for any of these set to dashes. You could set them to your mouse buttons, or if you wanted you could set the first box of any of these to any function key, as long as it isn't set to the same one as the key you want to use for your shortcuts within FCE.
I hope this made sense, I realize that I might not have explained it very clearly.

How to unglue clips that are stuck together in the timeline

I've looked everywhere, I'm sure it's there but I can not find how to "unglue" clips that are stuck together in the timeline. NOT break apart clip items, but get rid of those pesky things that attach the different levels of video together. And BTW what the heck are those little claws called?
Thank you so very very much in advance!

You can't move tracks. Everything in the timeline has to be connected to the primary storyline at some point. Each clip that's connected can be connected individually so it's free floating and the connection point can be moved anywhere you want, or the clips can be strung togother and connected at a single point. You can Opt-Cmd-click to change the connection to a new location, but it has to be connected somehow.

Fcpx-i have few projects which i completed. how do i conect them one by one in the timeline?

fcpx- i have few projects which i completed. how do i connect them one by one in the timeline?
Do i have to copy the time line of each project and connect it to the next one, in a new library that i call her MASTER,or there is other way to do it?
thanks.

Keep it simple.
Have a backup drive (does not need to be very fast, it can even be just a usb2 drive). Copy the library to the backup drive.
A library is a self-contained document, so you can just drag it using the Finder.
