How do you flip or reverse scenes??

i just got my 1st mac and love it. im trying to use imovie for first time and cant figure out how to take a scene or clip and have it play in reverse. for instance, if i have a scene where im walking and i jump off a wall, i want to edit it so i can play in reverse so it looks like im jumping up onto the wall instead of actually jumping off wall. another example im trying to accomplish is i filmed a friend who laughs so hard, he hunches over and falls. so i wanna have the scene play and then play in reverse and back forward again so the final result is it looks like one long laugh with him rocking back and forth. when actually its just one short scene playing in full and spliced to play backwards and back forward again. i seem to only be able to edit the start and finish spot of each scene and not able to flip or reverse scenes. can this be done? any mac based program that does allow this? thank you all for patience and help.

kennstar,
Welcome to the Discussions.
If you're into adding visual effects to your project, you may find iMovie HD 6 more to your liking.
You can download it here:

You'll find it works a bit differently than iMovie '08 but it includes a bunch of effects including fast motion, slow motion and reverse.
I'd keep both iMovie '08 and iMovie HD 6 on your Mac. As you use them, you'll find them both useful depending on what you're trying to do.

  • How do you flip (mirror image) a photo for transfer?

    How do you flip (mirror image) a photo in I Photo for transfer--such a a tee shirt or card?

    You don't in iPhoto. You can do it in Preview - it's called Flip Horizontally.

  • How would you flip an ImageView along its vertical axis?

    Hello,
    How would you flip an ImageView along its vertical axis? This would help me reduce the number of image files I would require in my project.
    thanks
    jose

    Rotation about x_axis should works (javafx 2.2):
    Translate flipTranslation = new Translate(0,imageView.getImage().getHeight());
    Rotate flipRotation = new Rotate(180,Rotate.X_AXIS);
    imageView.getTransforms().addAll(flipTranslation,flipRotation);Regards.

  • How do you capture buzz & reverse in the RMX?

    Hey all - on the Stylus RMX, whenever I "capture" the chaos - it always leaves off the reverse & buzz elements. Upon reading the RMX online manual, it specifically says this is not possible. So - the question is - if you can't capture these 2 features w/in the RMX capture, how can you capture the actual performance (as heard) within Logic?
    PowerMac G5 1.8GHZ single 2GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    What mode are you in? I believe you must have stylus rmx is groove mode instead of slice mode. You can then also set logic to record what movements you make with those faders, either by mouse or if you have them mapped to another controller. I find that I will drag over a loop and then record the reverse and reorder parameters later so I can get them to happen more with what is happening in the rest of the song.

  • How do you add a new scene to beginning without disturbing movie with music and beat markers?

    How do you add a new portion to the beginning of your project without disturbing the rest of the project that already has perfectly place clips attached to beat markers with the music ?
    I forgot to add a tittle intro before the music starts with the attached pictures. When I try to add the whole project goes out of sync.
    I want to just add an intro without disturbing the entire project.
    Thanks

    Well, if you re-attach your background music under the first clip, the starting point will be at the start of that clip so I think it will still be in sync.  If not it's simply a matter of nudging the music track a bit along the timeline.  Comparing the audio waveforms of the two tracks should help with this.  When its right you can delete the track in the background music position.  Now you can add what you like before the first clip without affecting sync.

  • How do you flip over frames?

    I took some video and loked down the orientation, so the video was captured "upside down".
    When I transfered it to iMovie, how would I "flip over" the clip?

    Hi
    Isn't it so that flip can have two meanings (at least it does to me)
    • 180 deg rotation
    • Mirroring
    180 deg - is as said - but Mirroring is harder - I think I had to export out as QuickTime .mov and in QuickTime-Pro or MPEG-StreamClip do the Mirroring then re-import.

  • Stupid Question - How do you flip an image or footage in Motion?

    I've been searching for the last 10mins but can't find any info on how to do this. I'd just like to flip an image horizontally - where is the flip command?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers

    Or twirl open the Rotation parameter and adjust the Y rotation by 180 degrees.
    Andy
    PS: If you're going for upside down, then substitute the X rotation.

  • How do you flip image Horizontally

    I'm sure I'm looking right at it but can't find out how to flip an image Horz. I see rotate, but not flip.
    thks for help

    You can't flip horizontally in iPhoto. What I do is to export to the desktop and then open with the contextual menu item QuickView (you can get it at VersionTracker.com), rotate and save, and then import back into iPhoto. If you have a different 3rd party application that have flip images you could do that, even using it from within iPhoto by setting it up as your editor of choice for that particular item.

  • How do you flip a picture horizontally?

    I took a picture on Photo Booth and the text on my t-shirt doesn't reads because the image is mirrored. I need to flip it horizontally but I have been unable to find a feature in preview.
    This is mindblowing, MS Paint had this feature and it was insanely easy to find on it.
    Any ways to do this on OS X?

    OMG dude, I had to call a friend of mine that has been using Macs for years (and who tudies graphic design) so he explained to me.. and now I got it, I didn't even realized that the bar on the top of the screen changes depending of what program or app you open! hahahahaha
    I'm sorry, I just switched to Mac 2 months ago and I still try to think in a "MicroSoft Windows" way u_u

  • How do you flip images in iphoto ?

    i have mirror images that need flipping can i do it in iphoto 09 ... if not can i flip it an another software for eg image well and then have it saved as sich in iphoto ?

    Some external editors that can do that for you are: Xee (free), Paintbrush 2.0.1 (free) and GraphicConverter. Each of these can be set to be used from within iPhoto.
    Using 2 Image Editors in iPhoto
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and a 3rd party editor without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected the 3rd party editor as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". Then when you Control-click on an image, you can select "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu to edit in your selected editor.

  • How do you flip the image?

    I want to flip the image in iMovie 8 but I don't see where it can be done.  Is this a feature that you can't do in this version?

    I can't remember if iMovie 08 had this or not, but if it does, it would be in the Clip Inspector with the Video Effects.
    Here is what it looks like with iMovie 09. See the second from the left in the top row.

  • How do you flip ( not rotate ) a picture?

    I want to flip the picture so what is on the left side, is now on the right.

    iPhoto does not have this capability.
    You can do this with Preview set as an external editor:
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.

  • How do you reverse a goods receipt document of a service entry sheet?

    Hi SAP experts,
    How do you reverse a goods receipt document of a service entry sheet? Your help/opinions will be highly appreciated. Thanks!
    Jessica Mari C. Cruz

    You can sue the ML81N itself to delete the service entry sheet and once you will delete the SES, system will generate the Material document for reversal of GR.
    Go to ML81N and enter the service number and change the screen to change mode.
    If release statergy is used for this then cancel the release using the same statergy.
    Click Revoke acceptance button or Ctrl + F2.

  • How do you reverse the direction of a build in title?

    I use Final Cut Pro X, and for a build in title, how would you reverse the direction? For example, One of the build in titles is called "Knock Out", and the words come into the frame away from you, but how do you make the words go the other way, and go towards you?
    If you don't understand what I mean, that effect is called "knock out", and you can look at it in your application.
    I know how to reverse clips, but that does not work with transitions/title effects
    Thank you!

    This particular title does not offer many options for customization; in particular, no option for working the other around, as you want.
    I can think of a few options for this. The easiest is would be to make the title by itself into a compound clip; but I have just tried it and it does not work, because the blend mode of the text (stencil alpha) does not propagate down inside a compound clip. (If it did, you'd just have to reverse the compound).
    Another option is to open a copy in Motion and make changes there. If you have Motion, this will allow you to adjust as you wish.
    Yet another easy way may be to "construct" this title yourself right in FCP X.
    Insert the "Custom" title, adjust the text font, change the blend mode to Stencil Alpha, and keyframe the scale.
