How do I split an event?

There used to be a way to split an event. I can't find it in the new (v. 11, build 9.3) version on OS 10.6.7.  Can anyone help me?

select a photo and go to the event menu => split event
Also note that the iPhoto "help: menu can be very helpful - type split into it

  • How do I split Imovie events?  I find the option in File menu and have selected the part of the event that I want to split before, but the option to split is not bolded (allowed) in the File menu.

    I have imported video to iMovie and want to split the event.  I have selected part of the event and when I go to File> Split the event before the selected clip it is not bolded in the menu and it is not an allowed selection.  I had imported directly to an external HD so moved the event to the Mac HD and tried it again. This did not work either.  Any ideas why this option is not available to me???

    Use iMovie to move the events to your Movies folder, otherwise you're can't.

  • How do you split clips in the event viewer in iMovie '11?

    I'm using iMovie '11 and have imported a very long movie (over an hour from VCR Tape) that I want to split into multiple events, however the "Split Clip" option is grayed out. How can I split a large event into smaller events?

    I have discovered a round-about way to split large events from comments in this forum, so apologies, and or thanks to other posters.
    You can split events by deleting (and discarding) a single frame at the point where you want to split the two clips. It's processor intensive (takes a while to do), but it works.
    1.) In the Event Viewer, click to select where you want to split the event.
    2.) Drag the yellow handles to make the selection as small as possible (1 frame?). If you drag the thumbnail display slider to the left to show only 1/2 second intervals, it helps when selecting a single frame.
    3.) Right click and select "Reject Selection". The clip is now split.
    4.) When you've completed all of your clip splitting, select "Show: Rejected Only" at the bottom of the Event Viewer to show all of the rejected frames.
    5.) Click on "Move Rejected to Trash". This operation could take a while.
    That should be it.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I split a project. In iPhoto one could choose that option from the Events dropdown on the toolbar

    How can I split a project? In iPhoto I could use the Event tab in the tool bar and there was an option to split the event but I can't find it on Apeture 3.

    Hi Wayne.  Aperture and iPhoto differ in many -- perhaps all -- ways.  They were designed (afaict) with radically different users in mind.
    To move images into a new Project, select them, then execute "File→New→Project" and check "Move selected items to new project".

  • How do i split events when Split Events Before Selected Clips is not even highlighted

    iMovie question - how do i split events when Split Events Before Selected Clips is not even highlighted?  I just puchased this new iMac yesterday and i am still trying to figure things out!

    You should start by having a read of the online manuals and correct forums.
    This forum is for iOS (iPads and iPhones).
    There are plenty of great resources on the Apple website,
    but try to search for iMovie Mac.

  • Splitting analog events

    I understand how to easily split events from my digital source. But how can i split out clips from video imported from older analog tape?

    1) Download MPEG Streamclip, which is free.
    2) Drag your file into MPEG Streamclip.
    3) <----Start of Event----->
    4) Position cursor at the frame where you want the event to start. Click i to set the "in point".
    5) Position cursor at the frame where you want the event to end. Click o to set the "out point".
    6) Click File/Export Using QuickTime. Choose a codec. If your event is DV, you may want to simply pass the clip through streamclip as DV. If it is MPEG2 or something highly compressed, convert it to Apple Intermediate Codec. (NOTE: for MPEG2 you also need the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component, available online from Apple $20)
    7) Optional: You can deinterlace in this step, if you need to. Depends on your target media. Do a test.
    8) Give your new event a name. I suggest that you name your clip as follows, because this will provide metadata that allows iMovie to automatically put the event in the right year and month, and allows you to see the time codes while skimming the event withe your cursor (VIEW/DISPLAY TIME CODES)
    9) Here is the format for the name:
    clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss (let MPEG Streamclip provide the extension, it will be DV or MOV)
    where yyyy=year
    mm=month in 2 digits
    dd=day
    remember a space between dd and hh
    hh=hour in 24 hour time
    mm = minutes
    ss = seconds.
    10) Additional splits needed on this clip? Go back to step 3.
    11) In iMovie, select FILE/IMPORT from file.

  • IMovie '08 (7.1.4) How to recover markers in event?

    After duplicating a project in the project library and splitting the event it originated from, all the (orange) markers in the event had disappeared. Except for the first fragment ~deriving from the split-off event~, every single one of the 146 fragments in the project now bears a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark, saying: "The media-files of this fragment are momentarily unavailable", actually meaning that the project cannot even be shown, let alone be processed.
    How can I restore the previous state and avoid the loss of about 50 hours of work?

    You might consider upgrading to iMovie 11. It would cost about $15.
    For iMovie 08, I would try to import the movies into iPhoto. Then you can access them in iMovie through the iPhoto Event.

  • How do you split a clip to do an insert edit in iMovie 08?

    How do you split a clip to do an insert edit in iMovie 08? I have a single, long event that I'd like to do insert editing on. I'd also like to insert transitions. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

    How do you split a clip to do an insert edit in iMovie 08? I have a single, long event that I'd like to do insert editing on. I'd also like to insert transitions. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
    1) Move a clip (or any portion thereof) from your Event clip to your project and place it where you need it.
    2) With the newly added clip still selected in your project, grasp and move the right and left handles to set the exact frames you wish to use as your "in" and "out" points.
    3) Select the "Spit" option to segment the selected area into what you want to keep and what you don't need.
    4) Select the segment(s) you don't want and press the "Delete" key to remove it/them from the project window.
    5) Repeat as needed to create your sequence of segments and then add titles and transitions as needed.
    Note: Since your editing in iMovie '08 is non-linear, non-destructive, and "by-reference," you can source the same content multiple times to a single project or even to multiple projects and overlap your "splits" since they are "logical" rather than physical.

  • How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

    How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

    You can migrate a copy of the data to a new account, then delete the other person's data from each account.  To do this, on the phone that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that you want to keep on the phone, save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. If you have any synced notes that you want to keep on the phone, email these to yourself so you can create new notes in the new account.
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.  You will create a new icloud email address with you turn Mail to On.
    Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa).

  • In iCal how do i set an event every 3 months

    In iCal how do i set an event every 3 months.

    Sk8trdad,
    I presume that your question relates to the Calendar App on the iPad.
    You have to use the "repeat>Custom" setting on the Desktop version of iCal.

  • How do I create an Event Handler for an Execute SQL Task in SSIS if its result set is empty

    So the precedence on my entire package executing is based on my first SELECT of my Table and an updatable column. If that SELECT results in an empty result set, how do I create an Event Handler to handle an empty result set?
    A Newbie to SSIS.
    I appreciate your review and am hopeful for a reply.
    PSULionRP

    Depends upon what you want to do in the eventhandler. this is what you can do
    Store the result set from the Select to a user variable.
    Pass this user variable to a Script task.
    In the Script task do whatever you want to do including failing the package this can be done by failing the script task, which in turns fails the package. something like
    Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Failure

    2. When printing a large batch of checks using XML and PDF output, how do you split the print job across multiple printers to shorten the print time?
    I appreciate if you could give some information on above 2 questions.
