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 you split video clips?

    I want to split video clips so that they can begin when I want them to and end when I want as well. I'm new to the software and I don't really know how to do some things.

    There's a lot of good info in your manuals. Always a good place to start. I'd also reccomend Tom Wolsky's (he's a regular contributor here) books.
    Having said that, basically, take your clip and put it in the Viewer. In the Viewer, shuttle around till you find the piece you want .. set an In point where the shot should begin, set an End point where you want it to end. Now grab that shot in the Viewer and drag it over to the right; some little submenus will pop up, choose Overwrite and that puts it into the Timeline. You can also use F10 to overwrite the short to the Timeline.

  • I have multiple users on one account and now want to split the account.  How do you split and account?

    My family and I have used the same account for many years.  We are now looking to create individual accounts and separating the music and other items appropriately.  How do you split an account?

    It's not currently possible to split an account, all content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it. You can try leaving feedback for Apple, and maybe at some point it will be possible : http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • How do you bump a clip?

    Just got CS4 for the Mac, and I'm trying to figure out something I remember doing a lot in CS2: how do you bump a clip (or group of clips), like 5 or 10 frames in either direction? I forget even the technical term for this. I have a lot of short clips I have to move back and forth, and a keyboard shortcut to quickly move them would really be handy.

  • How would you split a 10 GB root partition? Would you?

    The system seems to be booting a little slow lately (been using Arch for more than a year now) and I was thinking of splitting the root partition to improve performance.
    Right now the entire OS is on a single partition. I don't have a /home partition but I can see it's usefulness:
    - files on /home are, in general, more frequently written (browser cache especially), which means less fragmentation for the root partition
    - having a noexec flag for /home so no potentially dangerous software will run from there (and why would you need to run software from /home?)
    - my /var folder takes up 102 MB, 9.706 files in 4.846 folders. Is there a filesystem that will deal well with many small files ? ReiserFS maybe ?
    So how would you split (gigabyte-wise) a 10 GB partition into /, /home and /var ? And would you ? I've been told from the IRC channel that it makes zero sense. At least not for desktop use.
    PS: I'm also switching from i686 to x86_64, so please take that into account as well. For instance I noticed that 64 bit software usually takes up more space than 32 bit.

  • How can you export a clip selection from FCPX to motion? Round tripping?

    How do you export a clip selection out of FCP into Motion? In Motion, you have the option of exporting a selection out of motion? I don't understand why FCPX does not have this functionality. I do not want to export an effect or  transition. FCPX is good, but it looks like the application team have no clue about workflows. Especially integration between FCP and Motion.

    Not sure if you are asking a question or having a rant .. also not sure what your point is about it being 2013 ? Roundtripping is not in these apps .. sold for very little (relative to FCS which did roundtripping) and most of the functionality used daily from Motion is now in FCPX in one way or another. Perhaps it would be a 'handy' but to highlight this as some BIG deal is a tad missing the point ... .
    What exactly is it you cannot do in FCPX and need to send to Motion to work on ?
    These may help you with the basics of new compound clips ...

  • U410 Windows 8 how do you split the screen in two?

    I have an IdeaPad U410 with Windows 8 as an Operating system. I would like to know how do you split the screen in two. Also I would like to know if I can put my screen as a touch?

    hi BoJ,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    If you're referring to having an extended display , you will need to have an external monitor and enable extended mode by pressing the Winkey+P and select Extend.
    If you want to split the screen to work with 2 documents or 2 windows at a time, you can snap the windows by pressing Winkey+ Left or Right arrow - check this article in reference.
    Hope this helps

    how do you make a clip move on a frame

    It is not clear what you are asking about. Could explain another way?
    Please start with what version of Premiere Elements you are working and on what computer operating system it is running?
    From what you wrote, I am not sure if you are saying
    a. The Timeline Indicator is stuck and will not more from left to right when you try to play back the Timeline content in the Edit area
    or
    b. You want to create an animation
    or
    c. You are doing a Picture in Picture (PiP) and want the picture (or video insert) to move to different locations within the frames over the course of
    time.
    or
    d. Other
    We will be looking forward to your clarification with details so that we can give you the information that you seek.

  • How do you change size of text cursor or 'insertion point' in adobe cc for mac?

    how do you change size of text cursor or 'insertion point' in adobe ID cc for mac?  I have looked everywhere.  It's possible in Windows and Word but not in Mac.  Please help.  I spend half my time trying to find that blinking upright bar.

    Thanks for your note but it’s still a skinny rod that seems to disappear.  Why can’t it become a little thicker so it doesn’t disappear no matter what size I have set the screen?  My poor old eyes aren’t what they used to be.  I do appreciate your answering and I’ll enlarge the screen so the blankety-blankety blinking rod is at least visible.  Nancy

  • 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 do you split a voiceover audio clip?

    I have not found a way to take sections of a voiceover and split them up. It only allows me to trim from the beginning or from the end. I thought if I could copy the complete voiceover again, I could trim each version differently but I have not found a command to copy another version of the voiceover. Any ideas?

  • IMovie How do you join video clips that have been split

    In Imovie project, How do I join video clips that been split

    Hi
    And if the clips are not contiguous - Then You have to do as in all versions of iMovie from the very beginning.
    • Put the clips into one new project
    • Export this as full quality QuickTime movie
    • Import this new merged QT-clip into Your main project
    This is a way around that are very basic and used whenever more elaborated scenes are prepared - e.g. multiple text clips or when in need of adding several functions into it.
    Tedious - but it always been like this - in contrast to FinalCut.

  • How do I split a clip?

    Today I downloaded the Final Cut X free trial and so far I like it! What I loved was the old iMovie and I've found almost everything I remember from the old iMovie. I haven't found "Split Clip At Playhead."  Let's say I have a 45-minute video clip of five people making speeches. I want to split the clip into five clips, one for each speaker. With the old iMovie I moved the playhead in between the first and second speakers and split the clip, moved the playhead between the second and third speakers and split that clip, etc. Then I just set the in and out points for each clip, move the five clips into the timeline, add transitions and titles, and I'm done. How do I do this in Final Cut Pro X?
    What I'd really like would be a document called "Final Cut Pro X for iMovie 1-6 Fans." Maybe I'll write it. :-)

    Is this because iMovie was a destructive editor, and Final Cut Pro X is non-destructive? So you do your edting in the timeline, not in the browser window? I guess that makes sense.

  • How do you send a clip to Motion and back?

    I've done a search on the internet and I don't see a simple answer!
    I've filmed some stuff which is shaky so I want to do this:
    Take the edited clip
    Put it in Motion
    Stabilize it
    Bring it back to FCPX exactly where it is in the timeline
    How are you guys doing this? My process of exporting/importing  seems very laborious!

    Right click a clip or marked portion of it...
    When you are finished in Motion, save the project in the same place as your other footage. It should replace the clip on your Timeline automatically.
