How to Use Cutaway Feature in iMovie '11

Hi.
I am attempting to make a farewell movie for a retiring colleague. I have video and digital photos, but here is the clincher: My video is of people talking and it is boring to watch. Therefore, I want to run video and photo "slides" in the same project, In addition, I want to have background music.
How can I transition from the individuals talking (the video) to photos, back to video? All the while when the photos are shown I want the audio from the video to still be heard. (in addition to my changing background music)
Can I do this? Meaning is this level of editing possible with imovie. And of course how?
I am a fast learner and can pick up these type of things easily just need a few tips.
I am concerned that I will have to some how rip the audio from all of my video clips and make one big file then just cut and splice the video and pictures I want to see in the order I want. If I could manage to do that how difficult would it be to match the audio with the visual.
I hope you understand. And i hope some of you experts can help.

Yes, this is quite simple.
First go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure the Advanced Tools are enabled.
Next drag your photo (or a different video clip) onto the video clip in the project and drop it on the frame where you want the photo to start. A pop-up menu will appear. Choose CUTAWAY.
Here is a [Tutorial by Ken Stone on the Cutaway feature|http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/imovie_09stone.html#cutaway%20pip] for iMovie 09. It hasn't changed very much in iMovie 11, so it may be helpful.

  • Can someone tell me please how to use the features...

    Hi all,
    Can someone tell me please how to use the features on the HS-47 headset?
    That is, what functions does the button control and how many presses of the button for each function, etc?
    The headset was as supplied with my 6200.
    I've tried looking for a user guide but I don't think there is one.
    Many thanks,
    Steve.

    I think it's pretty basic.
    If you are listening to music on your phone, it should automatically mute it when a call comes in. A basic press of the call answer / end button should then do just that.
    Have a go! You could try experimenting with a quick double press, that may recall the last number you dialled, but otherwise that's probably it.

    I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 8. I want to search an existing document and have it automatically highlight all words in my search and save the document with those words highlighted so I can print it that way.

  • Can you please help me figure out my i phone and how to use the features

    i need some help on figuring out my phone can you please help me figure out how to use my i phone and the blue tooth features to listen to music or how can a friend or a relative send me songs for me to listen to.....                   

    To listen to music with a headset or earbuds via bluetooth requires a bluetooth stereo headset.
    File transfer via bluetooth is not supported. A friend or relative can purchase music for you via the iTunes music store with an iTunes store gift card or by sending you the music gift via email from iTunes.

  • How to use search feature in my JSP?

    Hi all,
    In my struts application, there is one Jsp page which receives some keyword and based on that keyword it searches the local file system(all diskslike C:\,D:\,E:\.....). how to implement this feature and should display only the latest 10 records. How to implement this.Help me with step-by-step procedure/code help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks a lot

    Are you searching by the content of a file, or by the name of the file? If you're searching by content..it seems like a search on all the disks will take a very long time.
    Here's some rough code:
    ArrayList<File> list = new ArrayList();
       File startdir =new File("C:\\");
       recurseFiles(startdir, keyword, list);
       public static final int MAXSIZE = 10;
      private void recurseFiles(File currfile, String keyword, ArrayList<File> list){
           if (currfile.isDirectory()){
                 File[] fileset = currfile.listFiles();
                 for (int i =0; i<fileset.length; i ++){
                         recurseFiles(fileset, keyword, list);
    }else{
    try{
    boolean found=false;
    BufferedReader testread = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(currfile)));
    while (testread.ready() && !found){
    String currline = testread.readLine();
    if (currline.indexOf(keyword)!=-1) found = true;
    testread.close();
    if (found){
    int loc = 0;
    //most recently modified files are at the end.
    while (list.size() > loc && list.get(loc).lastModified() <currfile.lastModified()
    loc++;
    list.add(loc, currfile);
    if (list.size() > MAXSIZE) list.remove(0);
    That code should work, I think. I'm a little skeptical of the while loop--can someone verify that?

  • How to use RCIEV feature to trigger mail to a particular mail id in M0001

    Hi,
    I'm trying to trigger mail for any marital status change in personal data infotype for employee through dynamic action. Kindly help me in using RCIEV feature in M001 feature in detail for triggering mail to a manager other than administrator.
    Thanks,
    Kalai.

    Check this documentation.
    RCIEV  Defining a Distribution List or Mail Address
       you can define a feature that sets the parameters for a
        mail to be sent when changes are made to an infotype record. In the
        standard system, this involves feature M0001. You can also specify a
        feature within this feature to determine possible recipients of the mail
        according to the control values in the organizational assignment.
      Use
        Mail connection for master data infotype changes for employees and
        applicants.
      Procedure
        The return matrix of the feature has the following structure: X-VVVVVVVV
        with the following meanings:
        o   X - Indicator 'M' for mail or 'V' for distribution lists
        o   VVVVVVVV - Valid mailing name or distribution list, which is stored

  • How to use WMV files in Imovie?

    I have a bunch of WMV files from Windows that I would like to use in iMovie. But, it keeps telling me they have to be .avi files in order to be used in iMovie. If someone could please advise how to convert these windows files to usable iMovie files that would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Use MPEG Streamclip to convert them to DV. This may require purchasing Flip4Mac.

  • How to use chapter markers in imovie

    When I make a movie in i-movie with "chapter markers" and then transfer it over to i-tunes to play on my i-pod touch. The titles can be seen on my i-tunes but not on my i-pod touch ver 2, I can see the chapter markers but then are all "Chapter 1, Chapter 2 etc...not what I named them. They can be seen on my original i-pod touch. So what am i doing wrong with how i am making the movie or how I am playing/transfering them.

    Apple has removed the ability to set chapter markers with iMovie 10.
    I use iMovie HD 06 or iMovie 11. (My favorite is iMovie HD 06.)  Both are readily available on Amazon as part of iLife 06 or iLife 11. With these versions of iMovie one click will set your chapter markers. These markers are automatically recognized by iDVD.

  • How to use new feature "New Picture"?

    SDDM 4.1.0.866 has a new feature ("New Picture"), icon to the right of "New Note" icon. Using this icon, I can insert an external image in a relational diagram, but when I go through the same motions on a logical diagram, the image does not show up. Am I not using the new feature correctly, or does it apply only to relational diagrams? Thanks.

    Hi Patrick,
    it should be possible to add image to diagrams in all models. It appears there is a problem for diagrams in logical model.
    Thanks for reporting the problem, I logged a bug.

  • How to use a gunshot in iMovie 11'

    Well I simply just don't get it. I've tried to watch multiple YouTube videos to see how The only thing I got was how to download the actual video . Whenever I choose picture in picture when I drag a vid into another it shows up as a black background. I can send you a video on what happens if needed. Skype: Sellhowl! Thanks a million! best regards, sellers crisp
    PS
    And yes I have tried the greenscreen method!

    green-screen is of no use in your case: the green-screen record has to be the primary timeline; but you want to key-in the muzzle-shot 'on top of it' = in case, you have one on green, it is the secondary timeline; which iM doesn't support for keying the 2nd track.
    same with pic-in-pic: PiP is always 'full' stamped upon the lower, main track, no color-keying optional.
    what you can do on iMovie11:
    • you need a muzzle-shot still with a transparent background. Don't get mislead by some file-names found at picture-search-google! I found a pic named 'muzzle.png' which is a png, but has no transparent background at all
    • so, check, the muzzle.shot is really transparent (=here in Preview.app, the bg is grey… )
    • drag that upon your main timeline, select PiP
    • as you can seen in my screen-shot, it works flawless.
    • … unless: it's not 'animated' - so, make it a frame or two short, insert repeatedly, bangbang ...
