How do I rotate a video clip in iMovie when I am unable to click on the Cropping Button in the Adjust menu?

Can you help me rotate my video clip in iMovie ?  I followed the instructions in the Help menu, but was stuck on Step 3  - after I had selected the entire Clip and then was unable to click  on the "Cropping Button". 

Are you in the timeline? You can't access the crop button if the clip is in the browser.

  • How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?

    How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?  (The clips are in a .mov format, they have been imported / converted into this format in iMovie, original files were from a JVC camcorder in some other strange format.)

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!" 

  • How do you speed up video clips for Imovie 8?

    How do you speed up video clips for Imovie 8?

    Do you mean get 55 minutes of real time footage to show in only 55 seconds?
    One way that might work but it will take a fair bit of work in multiple repeated steps.
    Select all the footage on the timeline and then use the Turtle/Rabbit slider to speed it all up to the maximum speed allowed. This of course won't be any where close to 55 seconds.
    BUT... export your movie back out to video tape or to a full quality DV format quicktime file. This speeded up version becomes "normal" time. Now reimport to iMovies. Since this is now normal speed as far as iMovie is concerned, you can again use the slider to speed the whole thing up to the max.
    Now just repeat as often as needed to get it as fast as you want. Export back out, reimport, adjust speed, export, import, adjust, etc.

  • How do I export a video clip to iMovie from iPhoto?

    My video clips and photos were imported from my iPhone 5 to iPhoto on my macbook pro.  Using iMovie, I can import the photos from iPhoto but am unable to import the video clips from iPhoto into iMovie.
    Is there a way that this can be done?

    How are you trying to import from iPhoto to iMovie? The movies in your iPhoto Library should appear in iMovie in the Event Library in the section for your system drive as event "iPhoto Videos".
    Here the videos from your iPhoto library should be shown, that you last opened in iPhoto; for example with my version of iMovie (9.0.8) the event library looks like this:
    Don't you see the videos there? What is your iPhoto version and iMovie version?
    As a workaround to import to iMovie you can always select the video in iPhoto and use "File > Reveal in Finder" to show the movie file and then import to iMovie using the Finder. Caution: When importing from the iPhoto library using the Finder, be sure to import to iMovie using the option "Copy files", not "Move files". Otherwise they will vanish from your iPhoto library.

  • How do you rotate and manipulate clips in imovie

    I have imported some video clips from a cell/mobile phone and am having trouble rotating my clips so they are verticle instead of horizotal. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions on what i can do

    you can download and use for free a 'rotate' plug-in from
    www.imovieplugins.com
    which teaches iMHD that feature..
    or, process your clips with the free tool
    Mpeg Streamclip
    www.squared5.com
    which has in its many export options a 'rotate' feature... don't forget to add a 75%zoom.. otherwise you chop-off heads..

  • How do I select multiple video clips in iMovie?

    I want to select a lot of video clips from the Event Library in iMovie and move them into a Project for editing.
    However as there are no up/down arrows on the scroll bar it is really difficult to highlight/select using the cmd button (as I then need to grab the scroll bar and move it down at the same time).
    Is there an easy way to do this?
    For instance, can I change the clips from visual to a list of file names that I could just then transfer to my project and then switch back to the visual view of each file/clip?
    Thanks.

    You can also select 'ranges' of clips as you describe using the Shift key. First select #1 clip, hold down Shift, then click on the #29 clip. This will get ALL the clips between #1 and #29 without clicking individual clips or selecting all and chippping away. Same goes for the second example. Click once on the #71 clip then hold down Shift, and click the #100 clip, and everything in between will also be selected. So there's two kinds of clicking:
    1. Command/Click (for selecting or deselecting one at a time)
    2. Shift/Click (for selecting ranges or deselecting ranges of clips all at one time)

  • Is it possible to control the duration of a video clip in IMovie? Speed

    Is it possible to control the duration of a video clip in IMovie? Speed
    it up/slow it down?

    I actually think the content gets smoother in faster mode. But maybe that's just my opinion.
    By the way, the fast/slow/reverse effect is pretty sensitive, i use it for my fight scenes in movies and I can only raise the bar one notch faster before it starts to look cheesy.

    Does anyone know if/how to rotate a video clip in iphoto?  I shot it so that it plays sideways on my computer and I cannot figure out how to rotate it.  Thanks.

    You can't do that in iPhoto. You'll need a video editor like iMovie for the job.

  • In PSE 7, how can I rotate my video, which displays sideways, to vertical?

    How can I rotate my video which displays sideways to vertical in PSE 7?
    It's a waterfall, I filmed it vertically, but it displays horizontally. Full Edit doesn't work on film clips and the rotate option is greyed out.
    Thanks for any feedback.
    Kathryn

    PSE 7 is Ps Elements,  not Photoshop.  Try posting in the Photoshop Elements forum, as not many users here are familiar with Elements.

    Have them install Quicktime on their PC's from Apple's website, that's the easiest fix.
