How to "hold" a title across several seconds of video?

Hi -- I'm using Imovie '08 (ver. 7.1.4) on my MacBook pro. And I'm having a problem with titles. I'd be grateful for any insights.
1a) I was able to edit a short video (30 seconds) that I made, but am
unable to have a title (1/3 down the page) that "stays" on each frame for the last 5 seconds. The title only appears as a quick blip and then disappears.
I can't see anyway in Imovie to keep the title across each frame.
1b) Perhaps if I were able to replicate a still with the title (since it's going to be the last thing in the video) for 5 seconds, that would also be useful. I want to take the last image of a section of video of imovie and extend it. Can this be done? If so, how?
Thanks for your time,

Just to experiment, I tried inserting a title card with the text I wanted at the end of the short video.
Therein, I experienced the same problem I originally had: which is the title on the title card would "fade out" so the screen text would "dissolve" just as the title I added earlier would dissolve at the end.
See, what I'd like to do is leave the view with a screen that has a website and other textual info. But it seems to disappear no matter what I tried to do.
I was able, however, to get the title to appear across the clip by manipulating the bar as you suggested. It's just that last split second that I can't get.

  • How to print large image across several pages?

    After using Appleworks for years I finally got Pages 09. In AW I used to be able to use drawing app to print large (36 x 36) images over several pieces of paper, simply by adding pages to the document. I would then tape the pages together to form the large poster. I can't see anyway to do this in Pages. It won't let you print any larger than 11x17, nor let you add pages to a layout to print a large image. Anybody know how to do this, or did I just waste my money?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Yvan Koenig discovered with iWork '08 that you can span images across pages in a Numbers document as a substitute. Select & delete any tables & then treat the Numbers document as a draw document. You shouldn't need to add pages like in AppleWorks as Numbers adds them as needed to display all of the content.

    Set the account as IMAP and not POP. Make sure your provider offers IMAP service and add the account in Thunderbird as IMAP on all the computers.

  • How to add flowing text across several slides into imovie?

    I am using iMovie 09 and want to create a movie with closed-captions for a deaf person. How do I do that? I have upgraded to ML if that has any impact?!

    Just for the sake of completeness, if you have to do a lot of subtitles, get Final Cut Pro X (about $300) and this subtitle plugin (about $30).  Here is the link. http://www.digital-heaven.co.uk/dh_subtitlex#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm _campaign=feed

  • Captivate 7.  How can I distribute audio across all of the slides?

    New to Captivate.  When I recorded the audio, I did not know to record it to all of the slides.  all the audio is on the first slide.  How can I distribute it across all of the video slides?

    @parth vyas ??? Why do you recommend to record/import this as background audio? I suppose the user wants to distribute the audio over slides, and to control how much audio on each slide, placing the slide markers where he wants? No such control is possible with background audio, which is just meant as... background.
    @[email protected] Welcome to the forum,
    So you choose to record to one slide which means that the slide will have a duration that corresponds with the length of the recorded audio clip. And you now want to distribute it over more sides? Is that a correct interpretation of your question?
    One possibility is Audio, Edit, Project. In the editing dialog box, zoom out so that you see the entire audio clip. At its end you'll see a marker with a flag Slide 2 (yellow), which you can drag to the left, and then the audio will be partially on the second slide. At the new end you'll have the marker with flag Slide 3...
    Second possibility: the audio clip will be in the Library. You can delete the audio on the first slide (Audio accordion), shorten slide to its wanted duration; then import the audio clip from the Library and you'll get a dialog box that has the option to distribute the audio over slides.
    Third possibility: if you have the creative cloud or CS6, you'll have the roundtripping functionality with Audition CS6 or CC if you choose that option in the Edit Audio (Project) dialog box, and you can drag the slide markers in Audition.

  • How can I export a still picture from a video clip?

    How can I export a still picture from a video clip?

    I'm able to export stills from iMovie without anything extra. I create a new project - call it Exports say. Now, in your event clip with the frames you want as stills, select a single frame and drag it into your project. Repeat for other stills you want to export. Then choose Share -> Export Using QuickTime.
    In the pop-up, choose Movie to Image Sequence. Click Options and choose the image format you want. Playing with the number of stills lets you pick how many stills you want from each second of video. Hit OK and the stills will be generated in the directory you choose.
    I've only done this with HD video. Don't know how well it works with lower res, interlaced vid.

  • How do i freeze a frame in a movie and hold it for several seconds?

    Hi
    I have a clip where someone turns round and gives the 'thumbs up' to the camera - how do i hold this thumbs up position, for several seconds?
    Do i need to export a frame and import it back to the timeline or what?
    thanks

    Cut the clip in the timeline at the point where you want the "Thumbs Up" to freeze and make sure the playhead is on that frame.
    Then select Modify>Make Freeze Frame.
    The freeze-frame will appear in the Viewer.
    Click on it and drag it down to the timeline.
    You will have to alter its length according to what you want.

  • How to accomplish a motion keyframe move across several clips?

    I'm very familiar with how you acheive motion moves within one clip in
    the timeline.
    However, I can't figure out how to make two of three consequtive clips
    make one continous motion move.
    For instance, lets say I have three still digital images, 5 second each, in the timeline, one after another. I want the first still to start at 50% size and want a continuous growth to 100% at the end of the third clip. I know how'd I'd do
    this within one clip (a motion keyframe of 50% at the head of the clip and a 100% keyframe at the end of the clip.
    But how do you make one smooth continuous move across several clips in a row? I realize I could take those three clips, export them out as a quicktime and bring them back in as one clip, but that seems a long way to go everytime you want to do this. And if I nest the three clips, when I go to doubleclick them back to the viewer to add the keyframes, the nest just opens up again into it's own sequence.
    So how is this accomplished?
    Any feedback would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • How can I get saddle stitch to work across several chapters in the book panel?

    I have been able to get saddle stitching to work perfectly if I print from a single InDesign document by going to “Print Booklet”. The problem I am having is that I can’t get it to work across several documents that are from the same book. The position of the pages is only correct from within the chapter that is selected. In other words it will put the first and last page number from the chapter on the same page but only from within that chapter not the whole book. The way saddle stitching should work is to have the first page of the book and the last page of the book on the same piece of paper. How can I get that to work? I have been flipping through books and the internet for quite some time and I can't find the answer to this.
    Your help is much appreciated. I have been working on this book for a long time (my first one) and I am looking forward to finally getting this completed!

    For some reason Adobe never saw it fit to allow Print Booklet to work from the Book Panel!
    Weird
    Workaround -
    Export the Whole Book to a PDF
    Create a new document of the same dimensions
    Look up Zanelli Multi Page Import for InDesign
    http://indesignsecrets.com/placing-all-the-pages-of-a-pdf-inside-indesign.php
    Then Print Booklet from the New Document.
    The important thing to remember is that InDesign is a page layout tool. Yes it can allow you output single documents in a booklet it's a nice feature.
    Ultimately though impositions should be done by printers themselves using specialised Imposition Software.
    If you need to do this quite often then I think you should look into Quite Imposing plugin for Acrobat.

    Delete the problem song(s) from library including file(s). Then go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Select Music tab to re-download again for free.

  • Oracle 11g: How to ensure the same transaction across several BPEL calls?

    How to ensure transaction semantics across invocations of several BPEL services with a Database operations (Insert, update)? We are using transaction REQUIRED property in all of our BPELs. We are using webserive and JCA to access and modify the same row. Our code uses a combination of JCA, Spring bean, enity services, EJBs in these BPELs. The code can be more efficient, but, at this point, we have no option but to fix the transaction issue in this code. So, our question is how to ensure the same transaction context is used in all these BPELs to inser/update the same row? We have tried to set the GetUnitOfWork in the JCA Adapter but it did not provide any solution. Apaert from setting transaction in BPEL to REQUIRED and the JCA Adapter to use Unit of work, we are out of ideas. Any help is much apprecited. We are using Oracle SOA Suite 11g 11.1.1.5 version. --chary

    Hi,
    I can help you if you can describe the processes.
    There can be some difficulties when you try to use the same transaction especially when you use many DB transactions & BPEL processes.
    Using unit of work only ,might not be enough.
    Thanks

  • My sons iPod touch stopped working, it won't charge in a docking station and the computer/itunes won't recognize it when connected.  We have tried holding the power and home button at the same time for several seconds, and the screen still stays black

    Hello skdog I possibly think your ipod touch is black because it has not charged. If your dock is broken it might just mean the dock will be broken and so might be the USB port. You should see an Apple shop nearby and hand it over and see what they can do. I hope this information works!

  • How to hold a texts scroll for 3 seconds then scroll off?

    I'm using tweenlite. How do I hold the scroll for 3 seconds and scroll off the screen?
    Here is my current tweenlite code.
    TweenLite.to(txtField, 40, {x:-stage.stageWidth*2.25, ease:Linear.easeNone, delay:0.5, onComplete:Inspiration});
    Thank you.

    Okay, I'm not getting what I wanted. Here is my code:
    TweenLite.to(txtField, 3, {x:200, ease:Linear.easeNone, delay:0.5});
    var timer:Timer = new Timer(3000, 2);
        timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, scrollOut);
        timer.start();
    function scrollOut(e:TimerEvent):void{
        TweenLite.to(txtField, 3, {x:-200, ease:Linear.easeNone, delay:0.5, onComplete:Inspiration});
    I want the tweenlite to wait 3 seconds and the proceede with scroll off the screen that's why I have the scrollOut function; however, the effect is that the scrolling from right is pausing for 3 seconds every 2 seconds. How do I modify this?
