How to make a new project in PAL?

I would like to make a new iMOVIE project in PAL instead of NTSC but can't change the settings. I put the new project frame rate in preferences on 25 fps, but new projects are still in NTSC.
Does anyone have an idea?
I made a whole project in iMOVIE and inserted in iDVD and was disappointed about the quality of the movies, especially the blurred titles. Is this due to the conversion from NTSC to PAL? Or I'm a missing something?
Thanks in advance

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
Projects really depend on the kind of camcorder (..if that's how your material originated..) which you used for shooting the video ..though you can create photo-only projects in either system (NTSC or PAL).
As far as I remember, Australia uses the PAL system, so if you've an Australian camcorder it should inform iMovie that it's to be a PAL project when you connect the cam.
In iMovie's Preferences, under 'General', you can select the "frame rate" of a new project, and for PAL you'd select "25 fps". That applies to the next project you create.
Then, when you start any new project you get a small window which says:
Click on the little triangle next to "Video format" and choose the shape and format of your project:
If you change your Preference before starting a new project - so that the next one will be at 25 fps - and you start a new project, specify the format, and plug in a PAL camcorder, then your project really ought to be PAL, not NTSC!
(Note that in the pics above, my Mac defaulted to putting a new movie in the 'Pictures' folder ..I would, of course, change that to the 'Movies' folder!)
(..All the above applies, too, to projects consisting of, say, photos imported from iPhoto, created without using any 'movie' footage from a camcorder..)
P.S: A movie originating as NTSC, but burned as a PAL DVD - or vice versa - will look dreadful. Be sure to maintain the same system (PAL or NTSC) through the whole process.

How to make EVERY new project open with 48k SAMPLE RATE?

Is there a way to set 48k as my sample rate default setting for all new projects I create or do I have to set it manually on a per project basis?
Thanks!

Might as well save 5 or 6 screen sets with your custom template. That's going to save you a lot of time setting up new projects.
Yes, good call! Anything to make life easier. This is why I'm moving towards doing all my projects in 48k. Since it's the standard for working with video,I figure why not just move all my projects up to it so I don't ever have to think about it again

Don't know what OS you have so this info is for ICS.
To make a folder on screen, long press on one app and drag and drop it on top of another app. You will kinda see both apps there now and when you touch it a folder will open up and you can choose one of the apps. You will also now be given a chance to name the folder.
To open a new window in the chrome browser, tap on the menu button (the 3 verticle dots in the upper right hand corner of the screen) and click "new tab"
If you have a different OS, let us know and someone will post the answer to your questions.

How to make a new section visible in the server published version

I use UPK 12 Client.
When I click "Link a new section" in an existing Module, I can see it in the outline in the left pane in my UPK 12 Developer. When I then check-in all items, click Publish > select c: drive (a test folder) > Publish entire outline, the outcome includes the new section created.
When I do the exact same procedure, but choose to click Publish > server (which is set up for my UPK) > Publish entire outline, the outcome does NOT include the new section created, but everything else yes.

Hi Sille,
Are you publishing over knowledge center? or is it publishing to a network drive? Once you check in the section save the module once and try again. See if it makes any difference.

How to make the entire project in the project server 2013 reschedule؟

How to make the entire project in the project server 2013 reschedule ?
Because item %compelet related to reschedule
In this photo it is known there are no items update project

Hi,
In PWA, you do not have the feature to update the project plan in one click, meaning marking as completed the work before the status date or reschedule after the status date the remaining work. Either you have to use Project Pro, or edit individually the
assignments with the actual work (if not comming from timesheets) and remaining work.
Hope this helps,

More details would help...what have you done to get to a white screen? Were you in the process of reinstalling Mac OS X? Or something else?
In general, to reinstall Mac OS X, restart the Mac and hold the Command and R keys. From the Utilities drop down select Install Mac OS X and the system will download the installer. You w I'll then follow the instructions to install.
By the way, you posted in the iMac PPC forum, this belongs in Yosemite from what you show on your info line, I will ask for relocation.

How to make a "new photo to publish" be considered "published" without actually publishing it?

how to make a "new photo to publish" be considered "published" without actually publishing it?
I have some photos that are really just stubs that represent the other "real" photos to publish.
I don't want to have to do a mock export/rendering of them just to make them appear published.
Any ideas?
Rob

In one of my plugins I have a requirement to download and add photos from the remote server and populate the newly created published collection in Lightroom. In this routine, I use the following code to add the images to a published collection using the method provided by Don above.
[code]
catalog:withWriteAccessDo('createcollection', function()
     newcollection = v:createPublishedCollection(h.title)
     newcollection:setRemoteId(h.id)
end)
catalog:withWriteAccessDo( 'NPGSetUpdates', function()
     newphoto = catalog:addPhoto(newpath)
     newcollection:addPhotoByRemoteId(newphoto,p.id,p.url,true)
end)
[/code]
The biggest thing here is that adding a photo like this requires the code to reside within the withWriteAccessDo block.

This is happening to me as well. No solutions from anyone. When it happens, it does not matter which drive I try to save to ... it won't create a new event or project ANYWHERE. I usually have to reboot.

HT4759 How to make a new icloud?

How to make a new i cloud ??

If you want to change to a new iCloud accout you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account.
Before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them. To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.

How to make a finalize project task list

in my process of making videos, i find that the two most time consuming parts are finalizing the video, and uploading to youtube. so i usually have several projects to be finalized by the time i go to bed.
the task of uploading to youtube is simplified by being able to make a list of videos to upload and then letting it do it's thing while i go to bed.
however, i can't create such a list with imovie. i don't want to have to wake up several times during the night to click on "finalize project" each time another finishes.
is there a way to create such a task list, either within imovie, using applescript (i'm a n00b at applescript) or other means?
if not, what other software will allow me to do this? i have adobe premier pro installed, but have never ventured to get up the learning curve on that but if it'll give me this, then it's gonna be a huge time saver.
i'm not looking to finalize several projects at once, but to just automatically start on a new project once another has finished.

How to convert my NTSC project to PAL?

Hi! I'd like know how i can convert my ntsc project into PAL.
I need finish a DVD for my client take to ANGOLA and there is PAL system.It is possible? My Encore is 2.0.
Or It is possible put my NTSC movie into PAL project and let encore transcode the movie? Thank you very much and sorry my english.

You have several options.
1 - Create a new PAL project in Premiere Pro. Capture your footage in the usual manner, and as soon as it is in the project, hit the ENTER key to render it.
2 - Create an NTSC project in Premiere Pro, capture to NTSC DV footage, and export it out again.
Close project.
Create new PAL project, import the NTSC clip & then interpret/conform the footage to the project settings.
3 - Set up an NTSC project, capture footage, export to PAL DV or MPEG-2 from Premiere.
4 - Use TMPGEnc Xpress 4 - it's standards conversion is very good.
5 - Use ProCoder, as Ruud suggests
6 - Use CCE SP if you have it.
I'd try as many different ways as you can, and view the lot to see what looks the best.

How to start a new project in SDK

Hi, I'm totally new in SDK and I need to make a project, plugin, on the Uni. Could somebody explain me please how to install the SDK? I downloaded the SDK, but there is now exe file, so I suppose I need to add these libraries to the new project in Visual Studio. I really have no idea how to do that, so let me beg you for your help. Can it be Visual Studio 2013, is newer than 2010 also ok? Pls help

Hi! As long as I know, you cannot install SDK. The best thing to do is to explore sample projects - and then modify them for your own purpose.
This introductory article is probably best start
http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.15/15.04/PhotoshopPlug-InsPart1/index.html
It is from 1999., some things changed, but the principle stayed same.
Also, sample projects contain a lot of comments, so the code can be comprehended relatively easily.
Best!

How to make a new iCoud account and take the old one off my iPad with the information getting deleted from my iPhone?

I have one iCloud account and that is on my iPhone. But when I got a iPad I ended up with the same iCloud account that was in my iPhone. I don't like that because if someone sends me a message it goes to my phone and the iPad. How do I make a new iCoud?

Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete account button. Any information on that account will be deleted from that device, but it will not be deleted from the cloud or any of the device logged into that account.

How to make the new Array start at the same position as the previous and randomise only the newObjec

So i am currently trying to make 5 boxes/ships (3Blue and 2 Green)appear in a random position(1st-Gree,2nd- Blue,3rd-blue,4th-Green,5th-Green or in some other random way) i the upper corner of the stage.Make them move down.Then make a new 5 boxes and position them in the same starting position as the previous 5 and make only them get randomised (not with the previous 5,what it is doing at the moment).And do this while they are moving down. so the code so far i have is this :
import flash.events.Event;
var shipCount:Number;
var shipCount2:Number;
var shipArray:Array = new Array();
var shipArrayPosition:Array = new Array();
var counter:int = 0
var positionsX:Array = ["50","100","150","200","250",]
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, everyFrame)
function everyFrame(ev:Event):void{
          counter++
          if(counter % 70 == 0){
                         doShips()
          positionShips()
          trace(shipArray.length )
function doShips() {
          shipCount = 3;
          shipCount2 = 2;
          var gap = 10;
          for (var i:int = 0; i < shipCount; i++) {
                    var s = new Ship;
                    shipArray.push(s);
                    //s.x = s.width/2 + (s.width* i) + gap*i
                    //addChild(s)
                    //shipArrayPosition.push(s);
          for (var j:int = 0; j < shipCount2; j++) {
                    s = new Ship2;
                    shipArray.push(s);
          var array:Array=new Array();
          while (shipArray.length>0) {
                    var index:uint = Math.floor(Math.random() * shipArray.length);
                    array.push(shipArray[index]);
                    shipArray.splice(index,1);
          shipArray = array;
          //shipsArray has been randomized
          for (var k:int = shipArray.length - 1; k >= 0; k--) {
                    shipArray[k].x = positionsX[k]
                    addChild(shipArray[k])
function positionShips() {
          for (var i:int = shipArray.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
                    shipArray[i].moveDown() //what the code in the Ship and Ship2 class does -> only: this.y += 3
and how to make them stay at one position.Not to move in any X position when the new 5 are added

This one is more efficient yet because it removes ships that moved out of view:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
var numShips:int = 5;
var shipCount:int = 3;
var shipArray:Vector.<Sprite> = new Vector.<Sprite>();
var counter:int = 0
var positionsX:Array = [];
init();
function init():void
          // populate positions
          for (var i:int = numShips - 1; i >= 0; i--)
                    positionsX.push(50 * i);
          addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, everyFrame);
function everyFrame(e:Event):void
          counter++
          if (counter % 70 == 0)
                    doShips();
          positionShips();
          trace(shipArray.length);
function doShips():void
          var gap = 10;
          var s:MovieClip;
          var shipsLine:Sprite = new Sprite();
          shipsLine.cacheAsBitmap = true;
          addChild(shipsLine);
          shipArray.push(shipsLine);
          shuffle(positionsX);
          for (var i:int = numShips - 1; i >= 0; i--)
                    s = i < shipCount ? new Ship() : new Ship2();
                    s.x = positionsX[i] + gap;
                    shipsLine.addChild(s);
          shipsLine.y = -shipsLine.height;
function shuffle(a:Array):void
          for (var i:int = a.length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
                    var r:int = Math.floor(Math.random() * (i + 1));
                    var t:Object = a[r];
                    a[r] = a[i];
                    a[i] = t;
function positionShips():void
          for each (var shipLine:Sprite in shipArray)
                    shipLine.y += 3;
                    // remove line that moved out of stage
                    if (shipLine.y > stage.stageHeight + shipLine.height)
                              removeChild(shipLine);
                              shipArray.splice(shipArray.indexOf(shipLine), 1);
