How to make clip "skip" frames?

I have a clip I would like to move jerkily, in other words, repeat a given frame 3 times, then skip the next two frames and repeat the third frame three times, etc., etc. What's the best way to accomplish this (without doing freeze frames manually)?

I could only think of one way... Export the clip as a QT Pro movie self contained and then Export from QT as a "Movie to Image Sequence". Then go in and Duplicate twice the frames you want to repeat. Its easy to delete the frames you don't want. When finished with this arduous task then you Open the Image Sequence back to QT and then import back to FCE. I'm glad you are doing it and not I. If one were an expert in AppleScript I guess you could write a script to do the Duplicate and Delete operations on the appropirately numbered frames (files). But I am not so I did it manually.
Incidentally I tried it on a very small clip (about 27 frames) and it didn't look very jumpy to me.

How to make a modal frame?

Hello!
My problem is quite simple, but I don't know how to make some MODAL frames (JFrame I mean). In my application, the user can open a same frame even if this frame is already opened and that's not really good.
So, I want the user to close the frame before opening another one.
Can anyone explain me how to do that?

Generally your actionListener will be an internal class of your main frame class. Usually an anonymous internal class. That means it can act on variables in the frame (which is the sensible place to keep the flags).
Something like:
class Class1 extends JDesktop {
boolean itsOpen = false;
openAction.setActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    if(!itsOpen) {
       itsOpen = true;
       openAction.setEnabled(false);
       MyInternalFrame newFrame = new MyInternalFrame(Class1.this, ....);
       add(newFrame);
   });You do need some way for the internal frame to act on the variables in the main frame. There are various ways of achieving this.
If we're dealing with a genuine InternalFrame there's a special InternalFrameListener (?) which allows your main frame to listen for the window closing. You can use this instead of hacking the dispose method.
If you're main frame is a JDeskTop then you can use getDesktop() in your internal frame to access it, then cast the result to the real class of your desktop.
Our you can simply add a pointer to your class1 to the contructor of your internal frame class.
You could even get clever and create your own listener system.

How to move clip one frame at a time or nudge

Tried searching this, as I'm sure it's basic and in the owner's manual, but I can't find it:
I can't control how far I'm dragging something across the timeline. Can I grab and nudge rather than grab and drag? I'd like to be able to move a clip one frame over.
Thanks.

If there's nothing in the way you can use the [ and ] keys or comma and period. Shift-bracket will move five frames.

How to make a still frame of iDVD menu?

I want to make a DVD label and cover that copy the title menu page. How do I make a still frame that I could manipulate in iPhoto or Photoshop?
Thanks
Ashley

I do this all the time. Turn off motion at a point you like.
Go into the Applications folder. Find the Utilities folder. Open it. Find Grab. Double-click on it. Go into the Menu, click on Capture and select Selection. Now, drag your cursor across the menu and release. Name and save the image (to your desktop?).
Open in Photoshop (or Elements). Crop to 4.75 x 4.75 inches for Apple's CD case. Crop to 5.125 x 7.25 inches for DVD case. Print and insert.
Not exactly "easy," but it works for me.

Slideshow, how to make clip the same length as audio file?

Hi
I've got several PowerPoint presentations and need to make an MP4 video file for each of them. I know how to export the slides as still images, and I also have the audio files broken up into individual mp3 files that match each slide.
I'm trying to figure out the most efficient way of getting the slides and audio files synced in Premiere Elements.
Yesterday I imported all of the png images and mp3 audio files into my project. But I had to individually add each image, followed by the mp3, and then in the timeline manually stretch the image to make it last the same length of time as the audio file. It was rather tedious and I have a lot of presentations with many slides to work with. I'm sure there must be some better way to make all of this happen, right?
Can anyone help me out here?
1. Is there a way to make the image clip match the time of the audio clip?
2. Is there a way to import all of the audio and image files at once (given they have the same names) and have PE automatically associate the image clip with the audio file?
Thanks, Derek

1. You can place the audio file in the Audio 1 track of the timeline first (Timeline, not sceneline)
2. Next drop the image to where the audio file starts. Now press "\" key
3. Drag the end of the clip to exactly where the audio ends. Whe you are near the end of the audio with the drag it should simply stick to it.
4. Group the audio and image file together (Right click and select group after selecting both these together)
5. Select the clip and do a right click and use the Fade-In and out option. You can fade in the video and let the audio simply continue. This makes it look and sound good.
6. Place the next audio file and go on doing the same till all of them are done. The grouping step is not needed but when you keep working with PRE, you might just thank me for it!
I tried all these steps just as I was typing this post, so I can tell you for sure that PrE10 works as if it is designed JUST for this use case. So hoping you get to complete the project on time and with good quality!

How to make clips play faster/slower?

Hi, I recorded a road while driving on it. I want to use it for the beginning of a video but I don't want it to play at real-time speed. I want it to move faster than real time. How can I make this happen on imovie? how do I compress the clip (about 10 minutes) into something more like 5 minutes? I don't want to cut the clip, I want to play the whole thing but I want it to just move faster. It would also be cool because this way I could also learn to make things go in slow motion.

How can I make this happen on imovie?
If you want to do this from within iMovie, use the previous version. Basically, playback speed can be modified by adding your video to an audio clip having a duration or selected segment duration for which you want the video to play and scaling it to the duration of the audio using the QT Pro "Add to Selection & Scale" Edit menu option. You can also reset the playback using the fee JES Deinterlacer utility. (Search the forum for URL to Karsten Schlüter's site area where he has documented many common "Tips and Tricks" for use with iMovie '08.)

How to make clipping mask with text and vector pattern?

Hey there guys, any help would be greatly appreciated. Im making a logo for a client and am having a nightmare of a time trying to properly use the clipping masks in illustrator CS5. I copied and pasted the logo I made behind itself with a different color just for a drop shadow-like effect. And now I'm trying to apply this diagonal line pattern I created over top the "shadow" I made to give it some texture.
Here's an example of what I'm going for, only imagine the line pattern on the text instead of banner

Eric,
As I (mis)understand it, you can either keep the Type live (or outline it) and:
1) Create one copy of the pattern for each Type object (this will give you the opportunity of having different(ly coloured) patterns;
2) For each Type object, select the type object and one of the patterns and Object>Clipping Path>Make;
or you can:
1) Select both Type objects and Type>Create Outlines, then Object>Compound Path>Make;
2) Select the compound object and the pattern and Object>Clipping Path>Make.

How to make a freeze frame sequence

title pretty much says it

I don't know what a freeze frame sequence is. Sounds it is a bunch of freeze frames tied together, or it could be a video that plays for a while and then freezes.
In the first case you might want to try posterize time, which would make a video jump say 10 frames at a time.
In the second case, you would move the CTI (Current Time Indicator) to the point when you want to freeze the frame and then go to Layer > Time > Freeze Frame.
If a freeze frame sequence is something else please give us an accurate description or example.

How to make clips of movies

Hi,
I want to "make" 4 clips from a movie and insert them into a power point presentation. This is for a university English course and I'm comparing book to movie.
Thanks!

Make a project for each of the four clips.
Share the project to either iTunes or to the Media Browser.
Open Powerpoint, and open the Media Browser in PPT. You can scroll down to the bottom of the list and you will see the Movies. From there you can navigate to these four movies and drag them in.
