How do You Place an edited clip in a Theme

After importing my video to iMovie I edit my clips. Next, I tried to place the edited clip into a Theme. However, every time I place the edited clip into a theme it reverts back to the orginal clip.
Is there a way to place an edited clip into a theme without it reverting back to the orginal clip?
Thank U

There's a bug in iMovie 6 where video placed in a drop zone is rendered from the start of its Media FILE, not from the start of the CLIP. So if you split a clip in half and drag the second half into the drop zone, iMovie uses the first half.
The solution is to export the second clip to a Full Quality movie and drag that movie into the drop zone. After the theme renders you can discard the Full Quality movie.
(To export just one clip, check the "Share selected clip only" checkbox in the Export window.)

How do you move a sound clip in the timeline?

I have not had this problem before. I have put many songs into the timeline, and repositioned them. Today I pulled up a project and attempted to reposition a song to fit in better with the clip, and I'm unable to do so. I can't select the song, or anything else. Obviously I have set or locked up this track, and I can't figure out how to unlock if that is what I have done. I have 6 songs on that track, Audio track 2, and I can't reposition any of them. I can't even remove them from that track. What am I doing wrong?

Hunt, most of my music files, over 9000 songs, are mostly mp3 files and a few are wma, and because of copyright laws I wouldn't use them in a commercial project I'm working on anyway. When I am working on a project for a client I will generally use higher quality WAV files. This project was being done just to learn some new techniques, gain some more experience with PPCS4, and expand my knowledge with the program. I have this huge number of music files and styles to work with, so I can do a great deal of experimentation to see what different songs can do to the mood of the video.
As a test, I did put the exact same songs into the timeline on a different audio track. The problem track is audio 2, and I duplicated those songs on audio 3. I did the exact same editing. I faded them in and out the same as before. Split one song into 3 sections had parts of it come in and out over a video section of 9 minutes duration. They are working perfectly. I was just working on one section of that project a half hour ago, and I was still able to select and move each of the four songs on that track any way that I wanted to. However, the track just above it in that same timeline, Track 2, is still frozen.
Hunt, just a moment ago I solved my problem. Still not being that familiar with the program, two days ago I know that I was playing with all of the controls, and I obviously hit one of them without knowing one of its side effects. I hit the show "show track keyframes". I'm sure that you know it, but I didn't realize that when that function is selected, you can't do much else with the track but play with those keyframe. Even though I didn't have the track locked, in the traditional way, it was still, for all practicall reasons, locked. I unchecked that function and now everything is back to normal again on that track.
Something very simple, as many things turn out to be when you understand it. However, maybe someone else will make the same mistake, and my posting here will help them.
I will use your suggestions for using .WAV files. Thank you again.

Terry,
What is the purpose of using the .WMA files? I'm sure that you have a good reason, but they can be problematic, at best. I only use them as a trasfer medium, when I need to get a DD 5.1 SS soundtrack into Audition for editing. There, I break them out into 6 discrete .WAV files, edit in Multi-track Mode and then usually Export as the 6 discrete WAV's to be encoded to DTS, or similar.
If you do not have a compelling reason for using the .WMA, try PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit and see if the issues go away.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes please,
Hunt

How can I place a video clip in CS6 within an irregular shape

How do you devide media into clips?

Have not used Final Cut in a while and I'm lost. How do you seperate media into clips?
Thanks

Step 1: Import or capture the media in the proper format so it will match your Sequence settings. Once media is imported, it is defined as a clip no matter how long its duration.
Step 2: Double click a clip in the Browser to load it into the Viewer. Set an IN point and an OUT point on the clip in the Viewer for the first section you want to use.
Step 3: Edit the section into the Timeline where you want it to go.
Step 4: repeat step 3 as needed.

How do you add a video clip to a slide show?

How do you add a video clip to a slide show using elements 12?

You can import some very short video clips into Photoshop and make gifs. I can import short (10 second or so) .mvi video clips I've taken with my point and shoot camera.
Use File ->Import->Video Frames to Layers
CS3 doesn't recognize .mvi files until you enter *.* in the box, hit load, then find the file you want.
After the file has been loaded, go to Windows, and check Animation.
After the Animation bar loads, go to the right side arrow, check Make Frames from Layers.
Then Save for Web and Devices, and you've got your gif.
I find it much easier to use the separate software.

In iMovie 11, how can you cut/paste a clip that has subtitles and actually have the subtitles get cut/pasted. When I try, the subtitles disappear into the void and I have to do the subtitling all over again.

How do you cut an imovie clip into two clips?

How do you cut an imovie clip into two clips? I have a very long clip from which I want to remove the middle (and keep the beginnin and end).

There are several ways to do this. Here are a couple.
1) Drag the long clip into your project. Drag to select the portion you want to remove. Then right-click/Split Clip. This will give you three clips, the first, the last, and the one in the middle that you want to delete. You can select the middle clip and right-click/Delete Selection.
2) Drag the long clip into your project. Drag to select the frames you want to delete. Then right-click/Delete Selection.

How Do You Place ( and ) Characters in Code?

How Do You Place( and )characters in Code? Example (302). THANKS.

What do you mean?
"(" and ")" are used in expressions much the same way they are used in algebraic expressions. They are also used to enclose a type name to form a cast specifier, to enclose the expression that defines the condition of an if, for, while or switch statement and they are use to enclose the formal argument list in a method declaration and the actual argument list in a method invocation. They can also appear in string constants. I probably left out a couple...

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 save an edited clip back to my library?

I've dragged a clip to the timeline, I've edited it by rotating the clip and expanding it's size. I now want to save that edit that I've just done on the clip BACK to my library window. How do I do this? I've tried right-clicking and selecting "Make Subclip" but a second instance of the video just appears back in the library in it's original form.

If you are "fixing" a clip, and want the effects you applied to follow every use of the clip in the timeline, you may want to look at applying a Master Clip effect to the source clip. Once you have done that, every time you use material from the clip, the corrections you have made by applying Master Effects will be applied as well.
This is useful, for example, if you are correcting say - phone footage that needs to be rotated vertically, then cut up to the timeline.
There is a tutorial here:
How to apply effects to all instances of a clip | Adobe Premiere Pro CC tutorials
When you want to apply Motion effects such as scale and rotation to a Master Effect, you can go to Effects > Distort > Transform and apply the Transform effect. That will give you scale and rotation control.
By apply Master Effects, you avoid the need to export/import or subclip.
