HOWTO: play duration of a selection

Surprised I can't figure this out with the searches I've already done...
How can you see how long a selection is that you've made? For instance, if I mark the in & out, how can I see how long that selection is?

Ann
It was pointed out to me the other day that the same indicator area also will display duration from just the IN and Out Marks.
No need for lasso or fwd slash etc..
I was previoulsy aware of that in the Source Monitor ...but not the Timeline.

  • After playing the song I selected in iTunes 11 it jumps to the another album rather than playing the next song on the original album I selected.  ***?  How do I fix this?!?!?

    After playing the song I selected in iTunes 11 it jumps to the another album rather than playing the next song on the original album I selected.  ***?  How do I fix this?!?!?

    I found that clearing the "Up Next" list fixes the problem.  But I have to clear that list everytime I just want to hear just that one album.  Each time I select on song on the album, the "Up Next" list builds it's own list rather than just play through the album.  I think this has something to do with the issue.  How can I fix this?!?!

  • I am having a difficult time getting the duration of multiple selected clips. The duration display only will display the time for one clip.  Yes, I know I can add them up myself, but why?  :-)

    I am using imovie 10.0.6

    For reasons that you would have to ask Apple for they decided not to allow the precise position of the playhead to be shown in iMovie 10 (unlike in FCP 10.1.x).

  • PS3 (blu-ray player) will not play movie after menu selection on this particular project?

    When trying to play my finished Blu-ray disc on PS3 the menus display and work good. However, when I choose a selection to play the movie it returns back to the main menu. It doesn't matter if I choose the main play button or one of the chapters on the scene selection menu, it does not play the movie but rather returns to the main menu. Menus appear to be working fine!
    I've used Encore for years and I'm pretty familiar with the ins and outs of creating DVD's. I'm a little new at creating Blu-rays but have found the process very similar to creating DVDs with the addition of being able to add Popup menus. I pretty much followed the same process as a Blu-ray I created a couple months ago which worked fine. So I'm pretty much at a lose how to trouble shoot this issue. The only thing that has changed is that I've upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite but I really don't know if that is a factor or not. Encore did not run into any issues while working on the project.
    Everything works when previewing my project in Encore. All the menus and buttons work and the movie plays fine. Also, no errors are reported after running the Check Project process on the Build tab.
    I usually create an ISO file to burn from later. Encore created the ISO file and reported success.
    I'm running Adobe CS6 on a Mac with Yosemite. FCPX was used to output the AC3 audio file and 264 video file. Menu transitions are ProRes422.
    So far while trouble shooting I've made 3 coasters.
    1st disc was created using Yosemite Disk Utility to burn the ISO file created by Encore (my usual way).
    2nd, and 3rd disc I let Encore burn directly from the project.
    3rd disk I removed the PopUp menu as I've only done one in the past and figured I would try that as a trouble shooting step.
    So, since everything appears fine Encore I'm really not sure how to trouble shoot this. I wish Apple would support Blu-ray better so I could just open the ISO file in DVD Player like I do when I create DVD ISOs. So much easier than having to trouble shoot by creating coasters.
    If anyone has come across this issue before and has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. I'd like to complete this project and move on.
    Thanks in advance!

    Well, at this point I'm thinking maybe something is wrong with the movie files output from FCPX even though they play fine in Encore. I noticed that there is a one frame difference between the video and audio file. The video file is 00:38:45:01 and the audio file is 00:38:45:02. I already output the file using Compressor. However, I'm still seeing the exact same time difference between the video and audio file when imported back into Encore. I'm going to rebuild the Encore project from scratch using the movie files output from Compressor and try again. If that doesn't work I'll use 7toX to convert FCPX XML and try importing the XML into Premier Pro and output the movie files that way for Encore. Or, output a master file from FCPX and let Encore do the transcoding.

  • Why won't iTunes 11 "stop" one song and then "play" what I've selected (OS 10.6) ?

    (1) I can't get iTunes to play songs I select (in Playlist view) from the menu at the top.  I used to be able to switch from one playlist or song to another by clicking the Play button at the top. Now I can only play a song I want in Playlist view by double-clicking it.  Why don't the controls at the top do what they used to do?
    (2) When I switch to the Mini-Player, if I try to forward to the next song in the playlist, iTunes selects something from a completely different playlist, apparently at random. This seems to be because in Controls/Shuffle, "Shuffle" switches itself to "On."  Can't I forward to the next selection in the Miniplayer any more?  And why is Shuffle turning itself on?  (I HATE Shuffle. Have you ever thought you were going to the next song in your "Game of Thrones" playlist and gotten a Russian gypsy song instead?)
    (3) Can anyone tell me where to find the tutorials for this $&#*^%(^*$!* version of iTunes?
    Humble thanks for any help out there.

    I too can confirm this is a problem and it is too bad becasue play counts are important to me. I track my listening habits with them. iOS 7 on 4S is not updating the play counts or time or anything about the music once played on the phone. I certain it is not an iTiunes problem becasue checking the music on the phone itself show it has no new information to synch on it. it isall the same as when I copied the somgs over. It is definitely an iOS 7 bug. Apple, if you see this, please fix ASAP!

  • How Can I Get The iPad To Auto-Play My Movie When Selected?

    When selecting a movie from the shared tab on my iPad it shows my the splash screen with the cover art on the right and on the left I have a movie summary along with cast.  The top of the left pane it has the chapters or the play button.  When I select the play button I would like it to start playing the movie.  What it does is the screen goes black and thats it.
    If I tap the black screen I get the video controller pop up and then I have to select the play button again to get the movie to play.
    I was pretty sure that before the movie would play after selecting play from the initial movie splash screen.

    You must restore the iPad with iTunes.

  • Can Premiere output at 2x the play duration of a clip ?

    Premiere Pro CS3
    Is it possible to bring an avi into Premiere and output it at half the duration ?
    Where is that procedure done ?
    In other words If I bring in a 10 second avi clip, can I save it as an avi that will play for 5 secs ?
    I have a 120fps flash swf file of length 600 frames that refuses to play at 5 secs duration outside of Flash CS5, I made it into a wmv file and its still 10secs.
    Perhaps if I convert the swf to avi, I can use Premiere to keep the quality, and output it at 5 secs duration ?
    I then need to convert it to something like a wmv somewhere.

    Tom is right, if you are referring to extending the clip to fit your requirements. If you want to actually have the clip start and end at the same time in your footage, but span a longer length, you MUST change the speed. No other way to do it.

  • I installed itunes on my new Win7 machine and downloaded all my songs. Problem is when I go to my music and click on a specific song, it skips to the next sone or further on my list and does nto play the one I selected. Any ideas?

    Problem is when I select a song in my library, it skips down the list and never plays the one I first selected.

    thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess. 
    That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
    Either way your welcome and best of luck!

  • Howto change duration of images (change the duration of group of images )?

    Hi all,
    I'm using iMovie HD 6.0.3 and I wish to change the duration on the time line of all my photos. I can do it one by one but there are 100 of them.
    Question: how can I select all pictures and change the duration of ALL images (the default 5 sec and I wish to make it 3 sec?)
    * when I right click the photo --> show info -->the duration *is not* editable?!?!
    any idea how to circumvent this?
    Thank you!

    Select the first photo in the sequence. Then while holding the shift key, select the last one. This should cause all of the photos from the first through the last to be selected. Then, be sure to click on "Media" and then "Photos". This should then show a button that says "Show Photo Settings"; click on that. In the window, go to the box at the bottom, and change the duration to one that you wish. This new time should be applied to all of the selected photos.
    I hope this helps.

  • Display duration of timeline selection

    I'm surprised this isn't available that I can find, and it's understandably difficult to search the forums for a solution.
    I'm looking for a way to display the duration of the current selection on the timeline, whether it's one or multiple clips, or even a gap. I'm also finding it difficult to insert a gap of a certain length between clips; cut and paste doesn't seem to work on non content.
    Thanks.

    PPro also displays the duration of the timeline selection on the right of the wrench icon in the program monitor as shown in the above picture.

  • Shuffle does not play playlist in the order set in itunes, when play in order is selected

    My new shuffle does not play the songs on a playlist in the correct order (as they appear in itunes), my previous shuffle allowed me to see tha tracks and swith the order.
    Why won't this new shuffle play in the order I want (shuffle isn't selected)
    Is there a way to see the tracks and order loaded onto the shuffle?
    Thanks
    Mark

    I FINALLY GOT IT! after months of relentless synching/autofilling problems on my 4th generation i figured out the solution.
    this is what i did: plugged in ipod on off mode~>manually deleting my ipod's songs~>restored factory settings~>unchecked automatic synch~>made a new playlist with exactly the songs & order i wanted for my ipod (just dragged old playlists into the new one)~>then autofilled that new playlist into my ipod. came out like a charm! (before u autofill UNCHECK random add songs)
    my ipod always ended up autofilling/synching my customized playlists wrong or it would automatically do my music library (and that was way unorganized), so this worked.

  • Remote Control Play doesn't activate selected button

    Hi,
    Super new to the Studio Pro Apps, and I'm almost finished with a DVD Pro disk, except the "play" button on the remote on the screen doesn't select the highlighted menu item while running a simulation.  I checked to make sure the button was linked to a target, and I don't know what I "did" or "undid" so this doesn't work on the main menu.
    Please help? (Thanks)  And why oh why did they screw up the community?  It wasn't broken, but now it sure is and I can't find anything.

    In case anyone else stumbles upon this, I'll let you in on DVD Studio's screen remote's play function does not work in the simulation, when I burned a DVD and tried it out in my DVD player, it worked fine.

  • After editing slideshow html, music plays when photos are selected normaly

    I followed instructions on how to add music to a slideshow by editing the html, and it worked great. The problem is.. when a photo on the page is selected without starting the slideshow the music starts.
    What has to be changed in the code to make it so the music only plays when the slideshow is started.
    Thanks

    What do you see if you try to edit one of those photos?  Do you see this in the window?

    As a first attempt at a fix make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • No "Play All or Scene Selection" available.  Sound also missing.

    Last week I burned several DVD's successfully.  I was prompted that there was an update to 7.0.4 available, so I updated.  Ever since then, I have been unsuccessful at adding a "Scene Selection" or hearing the Revolution music that usually plays while you make your selection.  Nothing else had changed.
    I went back to look at previous update you could download that fixed the "scene" issue, but when I try to download it, it says "unnecessary".   When I try to download any of the previous IDVD updates, it simply won't. It says IDVD is not in the Applications file.  When I look in the Applications file, I see it is indeed there. 
    Is there any way to UNINSTALL a previous download, and reload? It was working fine before.  Now I can't get it to do anything right.  This has been driving me nuts for days now.
    Thanks for any help and happy thoughts you can give me.

    I have same problem. In test mode, clicking on each chapter starts a relevant time in the main movie. But on a burned project only first chapter works, other just loop but when clicked on, nothing happens. Any help around?
    Where can I download IDVD06?

  • Get Total Duration/Length of Selected Audio Files

    Hi there,
    How can I create an AppleScript that adds the total length/duration selected audio files.
    I know how I can get the duration of a single file, doing this:
    set a to choose file
    do shell script "afinfo "&quoted form of (posix path of a)&"|grep duration"
    But I wanted to have the total length, if possible in minutes, of all selected audio files.

    There are numerous approaches, but since you've already started with afinfo, I'll keep with that.
    The first step is to extract the actual duration from the afinfo output:
    set duration to (word -2 of (do shell script "/usr/bin/afinfo " & quoted form of (POSIX path of a) & "|grep duration")) as number
    now you can just wrap this in a loop, adding up the numbers as you go. This will end up with a total number of seconds, and a little math gets you the minutes:seconds format:
    -- initialize our counter:
    set total_duration to 0
    -- note you can now select multiple files
    set file_list to choose file with multiple selections allowed
    -- and loop through them
    repeat with each_file in file_list
              try
                        set this_duration to (word -2 of (do shell script "/usr/bin/afinfo " & quoted form of (POSIX path of each_file) & "|grep duration")) as number
                        set total_duration to total_duration + this_duration
              end try
    end repeat
    -- now convert your seconds to minutes:
    set num_minutes to total_duration div 60
    set num_seconds to total_duration mod 60 as integer
    display dialog "Total duration is " & num_minutes & ":" & (text -2 through -1 of ("0" & num_seconds))
