How to create pages of text between video clips and as captions for stills

Can either of these things be done in an Imovie?
Thank you.

Pages of text? No, iMovie 6 cannot do that, and you would probably find that a page of text would be largely unreadable.
What I tend to do when wanting to introduce a paragraph or two of explanatory text or introduction to a movie, is to use rolling credits. The software to that with is, remarkably enough, called Rolling Credits, and is available from:
http://www.rqs.ca/
Captions for stills? Depends on exactly what you want to achieve. If you want to produce a still with a text box underneath it, you will have to use something like Photoshop or InDesign from Adobe, both of which cost an arm and half a leg.
What I prefer to do (sorry!) is to use an application called Photo to Movie, in which (among many other things) you can overlap text on a slide/still of any size, or even have a text box below it. Photo to Movie then converts that sequence to a DV file which can be imported into iMovie without any quality loss. It is also the best way to produce high quality slide shows. You can get it here:

  • How can I match sound quality between video clips and audio clips?

    Hi guys,
    First of all let me say that I enjoy using the latest Media Encoder. However, as a novice, I have two related problems.
    1.I am recording video to use with PowerPoint slides in Adobe Captivate. I am encoding the video with best quality FLV. This produces very good video,
          but with a degraded audio track, even though I had filtered the audio in soundbooth. The post encoding sounds like it did before Soundbooth corrections.
    2. Some of the video recording has been set cut into audio clips to be used as background narration behind PowerPoint. The logic behind this is: that if both are
          recorded at the same time, the voice quality should match.
    This is far from the outcome. I have tried MP3 for the audio which of course produced the best sound- but is entirely unlike the rest of the video. I have also encoded the audio with Windows Waveform preset figuring that since the soundbooth edit was a .wav file, that there should be a reasonable match. Wrong again!
    So, the audio quality of all clips is poor, and the difference between the encoded video clips, and the audio encoded clips spoils the otherwise professional result in Captivate.
    Please help, all of you experts.

    Thank you.
    OS Windows 7 x 64; 3.2 MHz; 2 TB; 12 GB Ram-9GB ram allocated to Adobe.
    My process is this:
    1. The whole video and audio narration material is shot in one continuous video sesseion.
    2. The microphone is only mono, but the camera is set to stereo. Noone can work out how to change the camera to mono.
    3. In Premiere Pro 5, I select render and replace in SoundBooth.
    4. In Soundbooth, I choose Add Multichannels.
    5. In Multichannels, I delete the unwanted noisy channel, and any other unused channels.
    6. With the remaining mono channel, I then select Export and Save As option, then Stereo.
    7. Next I edit the stereo channels as needed.
    8. The imported stereo won't automatically update in Premiere Pro, so in PPR I import the new edited stereo track.
    9. I test this track in PPR, to check that it is playing R & L channels. It is. OK.
    10 On the timeline, I proceed to cut apart this single stereo wavelength .
    11.These clips are saved as Video, or Audio subclips.
    12 From the video subclips, I export to Media Encoder, and choose either FLV4 match attributes (High Q). This I modify to custom 2 pass (Custom save).
         The summary says that this is saved to MP3 Stereo.
    13. I import this into Captivate 5, but the Video outcome is Left channel only. I have tested this on Media Player/Real Player where it is also L channel only.
    14. I export my Audio subclips to Media player, and select MP3 option and this summary also reports stereo. The Audio outcome is stereo, when played in any player and in Captivate 5.
    I cannot understand how a single, continuous track edited uniformly in Soundbooth to stereo, can produce different outcomes in Media player.
    I would so appreciate a solution to this problem, because, in the Captivate 5 e-learning production, the switch between stereo audio (behind PowerPoints), and l. channel video is distracting. Naturally, the l. channel only is a thin sound. It is as if it had never been edited in SoundBooth at all.

    Maybe there is another variant? Without jQuery? I found something like in Region Selector, but I don't need SHOW ALL option .
    Or maybeI can somehow remove SHOW ALL tab???
    Thank you!

  • Why do Youtube video clips and all others, for that matter, take hours to load and never play properly?

    My java script is enabled, my machine running latest versions of Firefox and Windows and yet it is impossible to download and play any video clips as it takes forever to load and play and still does not play the clips as they were intended.

    Since you mention Internet Explorer, I assume that you are on Windows.
    Do you sometimes clear your browser cache?  (Tools | Internet Options | tab General | Delete browsing history)
    Do you sometimes clear Flash Player local storage?  (Control Panel | Flash Player Settings Manager | tab Storage | Delete all)
    Does enable/disable Hardware Acceleration make any difference?  (See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337)
    Do you have the latest graphics drivers installed?  (See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765)
    Finally, is your Internet connection stable?

  • Black between video clips

    I'm trying to insert black between video clips and can't seem to find the option to do so. I've tried inserting a text in black with a black background, but it just outlines it. I tried inserting a 10 sec 'fade to black' transition, but you can't insert anything into that 10 seconds. The only thing I can think to do is to film in a dark room or with the lens covered and to import that.... does anybody know what I can do? Please help!!
    thanks~

    Open the transitions menu (the square icon with 2 triangles to the right of the "T" (type) icon. All menu icons are located just below the right corner of your movie window. The music symbol, camera symbol, etc...
    Choose the Fade to Black and drag it between the clips where desired effect should be. You can even double-click the transition once its placed into position and adjust the amount of fade time.
    Hope this helps

  • How do I adjust video clip and audio start times?

    I cant figure out how to adjust the start time of video clips and songs.  I want my music and video clips to start at different times. I am trying to have music and pictures start at the same time at the begining of the movie then transition into my videos at a specific time.   Also i am wondering if there is a way to combine the whole video and image segment into one block and be able to shift it up and down the timeline?  Does anyone know how to do this?  Thanks

    FreshlySnipes wrote:

    instead of adding music to the background, 'stick' the music-clip to your video clip => the music appears as a green bar, you can move, shorten etc as any other clip.
    …  if there is a way to combine the whole video and image segment into one block and be able to shift it up and down the timeline?  …
    not in iMovie.
    this is one of the major features (grouping and magentic timeline) of FCPX

  • Ratio between Fact table and Dimention table for a Infocube

    Hi All,
    How can we reduce the Ratio between Fact table and Dimention table for a Infocube below 20%.??
    please give suggestions

    Hi
    Reduce Ratio??
    The Ratios are dependent on the Fact Table, and the Dimension table that is modeled for your Cube.
    You cannot change ratio individually, but can set the Line Item Dimension , provided you have only one char object is taking much space and bulky with much percentage, based on your requirement. You can always use fine tuning objects.
    Please be more specific while posting, to get right help from sdn.

  • How to create a OTR Text in Web Dynpro ?

    Hi All,
    Please help, How to create a OTR Text in Web Dynpro ?
    Urgent.
    Thanks in advance.
    Kaleem.

    Hi Kaleemullah,
    To create OTR Text, T-Code is SOTR_EDIT. If you run this transaction then one screen will appear. There you can choose Long Text or Short Text based on your
    Text. You can choose language also. In Text field you can enter your text. You can put WDYV in your Object Type field. In Text block Length can be increased to 25 as it may be problem if language conversion of Text happens. You must fill your package field and save the OTR.
    I hope you can be able to create OTR Text now.

    Hi
    Make sure you have filled OBKEY.
    OBJKEY must have the corresponding sort field for the values named below :-
    1. QMEL - Notification header
    2. QMFE - Notification item
    3. QMUR - Notification cause
    4. QMSM - Notification task
    5. QMMA - Notification action
    The combination of sort field of item/cause, item/task and item/action must be unique within a notification. If you leave the sort field empty and the OBJTYP = QME, then a long text is created for the notification header.

    if :p3_note_id is null
    then
    insert into notes (project_id, note, notes_month, notes_year) So, p3_note_id is NULL.
    Another option is that you have a trigger on table NOTES that generates a new note_id even for an update.

  • How can I change the space between a checkbox and text all at one time? I have a lot of checkboxes in my form.

    How can I change the space between a checkbox and text all at one time? I have a lot of checkboxes in my form.

    Okay, I haven't found a way to add an extra space using Find/replace, but you might be able to add some text wrap to the check boxes that will push the text away from them.
    Open Find/Replace and click the Object tab.
    Click the Specify attributes to find button to the right of the Find Object Format: field.
    Under Basic Attributes, choose Stroke and then the Black swatch (assuming the black swatch is applied to the strokes of your check boxes). If there are no other stand-alone objects in your form with a Black stroke, this should be all you need. (If there are Black strokes on your table cells, they will be ignored.)
    Click OK
    Click the Specify attributes to change button to the right of the Change Object Format: field.
    Under Basic Attributes, choose Text Wrap & Other > Text Wrap > Type: > Wrap around bounding box (2nd button from left)
    Under Offset, set a Right offset at the distance you'd like to add (I don't know what units you use, but the 3-5 points might work for your purposes...might take some trial-and-error to get it where you want)
    Click OK

  • How to create an album of music videos

    I have a 120 GB classic, and was wondering how to create an album of music videos. For instance, John Mayer Where The Light Is. Note: these are DVD rips.

    Just fill in the album & track details like you would for regular music. On the Options tab of *Get Info* set the Media kind to Music Video. Once synced to your iPod you can either listen to audio only by selecting the album from within the Music submenus, or watch the videos by selecting from Videos > Music Videos > Artist.

  • How to create encrypted HTTP Live Streaming Videos?

    Does Compressor4 have any features (or scripts that can be run post-compression) to create encrypted HTTP Live Streaming Videos?
    It works great for creating UNencrypted ones, but I need to make some encrypted ones also.

    I found it out: You have to use "New Batch From Template" and choose “HTTP Live Streaming". Then you have to create a new folder where the output goes to in the "Information" window. There is also a checkbox which instructs Compressor to create a "readme.html".
    Then a folder for every quality setting is created, where all the .ts files go to and the playlist files as well. Works like a charm, as soon as you found out how to do it.
