How to shorten clips on iMovie

I am doing a project and were using iMove to splice and edit the video, however we cannot get our clips to stay short despite the fact that we saved them that way Does anyone know why it's doing this? If someone has any tips/tricks to help that would be great!
Thanks

I can take video made in Photo Booth and use in my Smilebox greetings and I can use photos from iPhoto to use there also. I have not been able to figure out how to take clips from iMovie for that.

For anyone who has used "Smilebox" for greeting cards: I can take video made in Photo Booth and use in my Smilebox greetings and I can use photos from iPhoto to use there also. I have not been able to figure out how to take clips from iMovie for use with Smilebox.

How to cut clips on iMovie for iPhone 4

I can't figure out how to remove extraneous footage from a clip in the iMovie app for iPhone 4. It's driving me crazy. How can you delete a part of a clip??

This is what I am trying to do. Selecting it makes the yellow clip "ends" show up, but then HOW to consistent get the segment clipped with the next touch to the screen? Is it a tap and finger scrape? Sometimes I am successful but A) most of the time NOTHING happens, and B) I can't get a feel for the control in order to get the cut just right.
AArgh.
To top it off, when I went to put my music on, AFTER I worked a couple hours on my first imovie on the phone, SOMEHOW the entire app disappeared from my phone!! Yes, it was on my iMac, but when I reloaded it onto the phone again, my little movie was gone! What the **** happened?? (I am now trying to do my little movie again - good practice, anyway...)

How to copy clips from iMovie to iPhoto

I copied photos from iPhoto and created a project in iMovie - had a senior moment and deleted the photos from iPhoto and would like to copied them FROM iMovie back to iPhoto - cannot find how to do this.
Help - a Desperate Grandpa

Thanks but nothing happened - I right clicked to REVEAL IN FINDER and nothing happened - realize that the source should have shown but because I deleted it in iPhoto, that's apparently gone. Now there isn't a 'pointer' from iMovie to anywhere.

How to copy clip from iMovie to a cd or dvd

Hello. I copied an entire (short) video from a CD made on a pc (.wmv file) to iMovie by dragging it to the clip pane . then I split it to use only a small portion of the movie. I split it into 5 small clips and used transitions to connect. My result looks fine in previewing it. Now, can I copy this movie into an existing Power Point presentation in full quality but not Quicktime (I hav PP on iMac in my Microsoft Office for Mac program), so I can save it and use it on a Windows pc at work? (I tried saving in high quality Quicktime, but the subject video still goes into PP in quicktime format with reduced-quality video that does not look nearly as good as the original or the clips I previewed in iMovie). thanks. JB

Export/Share the clips out as Full Quality DV Quicktime movies. There should be NO compression done and no quality loss. Then see if your Power Point will take those.

How do you combine two or more movie clips into one movie clip in iMovie '09

how do you combine two or more movie clips into one movie clip in iMovie '09

First create an iMovie project. Then drag the clips (or portions of clips) that you need into the project.
When finished, use the SHARE menu to share the project.

How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad? Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility? I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move. Any ideas?

How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad? Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility? I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move. Any ideas? (The clips are in a .mov format, they have been imported / converted into this format in iMovie, original files were from a JVC camcorder in some other strange format.)

I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places. I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file. There must be something else that's missing. My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive. If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
My back-up drive is a mess. I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={ Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period. I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive. Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me). As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

How do I display the complete time sequence for a video clip in iMovie?

How do I display the time complete time sequence for a video clip in iMovie?
I'm trying to create a movie for someone where they provided me the video clips and what time sequences they want extracted. For example: Video footage from time 5m22s to 9m:18s and 11m17s to 15m31s from the imported video clip. I know you can select video but I cannot figure out how to select from those requested time markers.
Any help would be apreciated.

Open the file using QuickTime Player and then open the Movie Inspector window.

How to import a .wav file for adding to a clip in imovie 09

I want to know how can we import a .wav file in Imovie 09.
The sound is in some location on my 2nd hard disc.
I checked this page
http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-import-audio-into-imovie-09-project s.navId-323836.html
but this does not help my requirement.
I have a video in which there was a lot of hiss recorded via camera I exported the audio and using some audio filtering softwares cleaned the sound and now I want to import this clean sound back to my imoive project.
It is a .wav file which is clean and without hiss.

I see.By the time I saw your msg I had done the same and opened Itunes to play.
There was an option in Imovie to import Itunes playlist or file and was able to do so.
Any one will guess as in File some import menu
should exist for this.In this case it was not that.
mp3 clip needs to be played in Itunes
where Itunes will make it a part of the mp3 library it has.
Then Imovie 09 has a way to import the shared playlist from itunes.

Hallo!! how can i delete a rejected clip in iMovie 10.0.7?? Or is it not possible??

Hallo!! how can i delete a rejected clip in iMovie 10.0.7?? Or is it not possible??

You can delete a complete clip which is not in use in any project by right-clicking it and choosing "move to trash". It won't actually appear in the trash can but will be permanently deleted when you quit iMovie.

How to rotate a clip in imovie

How do I rotate a clip in iMovie? I have gone to 'Adjust' then 'crop' then clicked on the rotate button but nothing happened.

Happy to help.
Basically in iMovie 10 (unlike earlier versions) you cannot do any sort of editing on clips in events (you can't even delete parts you don't want, only the whole clip). So events are just repositeries for 'raw' clips.

How can I change the duration for all clips in iMovie 10.2

How can I change the duration for all clips in iMovie 10.2? I'm used to working in the older version of iMovie where all I had to do was click on the gear on the clip and change the duration. ALso could use the tool bar to set the duration for all clips. Can't figure out how to do that in this new version. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

In the timeline select the clip whose duration you want to change. Click the adjust button at the top of the viewer and then click the i button and you can set the duration. For multiple clips select them all and in the i button type in the duration you want and it will be applied to all the selected clips. You can also change the duration of a clip in the timeline by putting the cursor over the beginning or end of a clip and dragging. A popup will show the new duration.
