How do you edit movie clips in iMovie 11 on MacBook Pro?

I am trying to edit an iMovie project on my husband's MacBook Pro, since I can't get my iMac to work (long frustrating day here!).  I don't see the "edit" tool (looks like a pencil) that my iMac has, and am having trouble figuring out how to select and delete specific clips in the movie.
Thank you so very much, in advance!

    How do you edit document text in pdf in Acrobat Pro 11 Mac? I know I can do it in the Windows version, but can't find same tool in Mac.

    Should be the same but it isn't. I have included a screenshot of my tools choices in both my Mac and PC versions - they are totally different.

  • How do you insert a CD/DVD into a macbook pro drive?

    Hi, I'm a new user to macbook pro's. I just wanted to ask what should I expect when I first insert a cd into my drive for the first time? I try to put in about 3/4 in with the cd I want to insert, and there are no signs (physical/audible) that the system is recognizing I am trying to put in a CD and take the rest of it in automatically. Are you suppose to just keep jamming the CD completely in without the computer taking it in at all?

    To see if the disc has been charged, open Finder and look under Devices in the sidebar, and you must see the DVD. The MacBook Pro has a slot-in drive, so it should make a noise, but if DVDs load properly and you see it in Finder, don't worry about this

  • How can you make movie clips partially visible?

    Okay, so this sounds simple, but I'm tottally lost... I'm a thirteen year old boy that has been using Flash for a little over 3 years. I program video games. I recently embarked on a game where one of the modes is to be split screen, player one gets the top half, player 2 the bottom. The promblem with this is that my game is based off of a moving background, where inorder to keep the main character centered the background moves instead of them. Becsause of this,when setting up split screen, the screen on the upper layer takes over the bottom because there would be more showing then there would be in the game: Parts would be off screen. I was wondering if there was anyway that using hitTest(s) (or some other method) you could make a movie clip partially visible/ invisible. I know the code for making something invisible when touching something else. But I was wondering if there was a way to make only the part of the movie clip touching another movie (it would have its alpha turned off... let's say it's a hitBox) or only the part of the movie clip touching the hitBox visible, invisible. Another way of looking at this is that I want a movie clip to be a small box, but inside I want their to be a huge picture. I want to make it so that when you move the picture different parts are viewable in this little box. And to make this as clear as I can... : I want to make a circle that I'll call the magnifying glass. I want to make an invisible picture that can be moved using code (I know that part). I want it so that when part of the picture is under the magnifying glass it's visible, not the hole thing, jus that circular area. Another reason I'd like to have this promblem solved is for a moving water effect. I want to make a movie clip and tween showing a square of rushing water, but without putting anything over parts of it (other than a hitBox) I want to make only a squiggly line of that water box visible. Thank you so much! =D I really hope you guys know! =D P.S. I also am currently using the trial of CS4, if that helps anything. But if it's only possible in AS3, then it's impossible to me because I use AS2 conservatively.

    Thanks... but I think you've misunderstood my question. I suppose magnifying glass wouldn't be the right word... I just wanted to explain that I want only the part of one mc touching another mc to be visible. I hope this isn't confusing. I have no need to enlarge an image. I want to make a movie clip only partially visible. Check out the fla.

  • How do you compile movie on new iMovie app?

    I have been a user of the prior iMovie software.  I now have the newest version and am puzzled since when compiling a new video I cannot figure how to save it into a file which I can burn to a disk which will play on my standard blu-ray player.  When I complete a video in the new iMovie and click on "Share" and select "file" is saves a file in my computer but the file will not play on the DVD.  How do you go from the compiled video in iMovie and get a burnable file which will play on the DVD? (If I click on this file to open it, it will not open.) Is there some other software which is necessary? Thank you for any suggestions?  I did download "Quicktime Player 7 Pro" into my utility folder, but I can't see how this helps.

  • How do you import MOV files to iMovie?

    I can't import MOV files into iMovie -- from my USB disk. The icons appear grey. Any idea what might be wrong? I tried converting files to MP4 using Miro Video Converter -- but, it was unable to convert my files.

    I have already tried dragging the files to my desktop -- and, then importing them from there. Doesn't work.

  • How do you connect a second monitor to a MacBook Pro

    i am wanting to connect a second monitor to my MAC so i can have 2 of my pages showing at the same time. how do i do that?

    I am pretty sure the MacBook and MacBook Pro only supports ONE external monitor of any description, even though the cabling will support two.
    The short story, that Courcoul has alluded to but not stated, is this:
    All you need is an Adapter. All the software to do elegant multiple display work is already in place in your Mac, and will be activated automatically the moment you plug it in. Nothing to Install, no settings to change. Just plug in the display.
    The default mode is Extended Desktop, where the one-monitor desktop is enhanced by having the area of the second display appended to its right side (or any other side you specify). The mouse moves freely from one display to the other, and can drag windows with it, which can be resized on the other display. You can even drop things so that half is on each display, and they will scroll and update "the right way".

  • How do you install Photoshop 5.0 onto the Macbook Pro?

    so i've been trying to install the photoshop elements 5.0 for about a weeeek now...lol & this thing still isnt working! i'm really gettin angry! jk. but i'm serious tho, how do you install this onto the macbook pro?

    OK seriously, I did not want to make you feel stupid, it was in fact the first thing that came to my mind. Now, if you got something from Costco, there is probably a box or a CD with it, which should tell you whether it is a PC version or a Mac version. These apps usually come with items like a camera or maybe a scanner included. Please take the time and check what you got. If there is nothing on the disk telling you it's a Mac-version, youprobably got the wrong thing.
    The Mac version is available via Adobe's website, just look for Photoshop Elements 9, that's the current version. There even is a trial available.

    Couple comments concerning this:
    You cannot make it larger.
    On My MacBook Pro it has a high resolution screen. 1152 x 720 resolution is not listed. if you think your type in the menu bar is small, you should see mine!
    I personally would never recommend anyone orders on with Hi-Res.
    No matter what resolution I use other than 1680 x 1050 ( max listed for my Notebook) the sharpness is not acceptable to me.
    Wrote to apple concerning the menu display along with numerous others and have been totally ignored.

    Hi Norm,
    1. I've been researching, and, with a few exceptions which are not acceptable to me, I believe you are correct.
    4. I really have no choice, I have to reduce the res to see text.
    5. Apple does not reply to feedback, so don't feel ignored. I've also sent feedback and emailed Jobs, and maybe, someday, after enough of us do that, this will get "fixed." Meanwhile, I'm also often at 1152x720.

  • How do you get sound and video from a macbook pro (before 2010) onto a 2010 toshiba 40" tv?

    Any help on connecting a macbook pro (late 2009) to a 2010 toshiba 40" for both sound and video?  I have the mini-hdmi cable, but have no idea about running sound through the tv.  I can use the headphone jack, but don't know where to connect it to on the back of the tv.  Am I supposed to change any settings on the tv or computer to allow the sound to go through the tv?  thanks for any help.

    You need a stereo mini to RCA break out cable.
