HT2479 How can I get a clip to fast forward or slow down?

I tried to fast forward a clip and it said it wasn't an option. I tried to do it with the instant replay and the slow motion and it didn't work as well. . How can I fix this?

  • New iMovie ?  can not fast forward or slow down clips ??

    Can anyone help me?
    When i try to fast forward or slow down a clip in iMovie i can see the option in "Modify" menu but it does not allow me to select the options

    The clip must first be in a Project before you can speed it up or slow it down.
    You can't modify a clip when it's just in an Event.

  • Media folder is empty, how can I get the clips back?

    The first time, this problem appeared was when I imported data in a new project. For two times the import stopped and I didn't find any clips in the media folder.
    Then I succeded with importing and worked on the project several hours.
    But now theres no data from this project on the computer anymore, after I had worked on it today. I didn't save any changes, just pressed "apple Z" and the i Movie window was empty, clips disappeared and stuff. The media folder is empty again and when I start iMovie it sais, that it can't find the clips.
    The clips are not in the waste basket and i searched for it everywhere but i can't find them.
    Do you know what could have happened and how I can get my data back?
    I have an older version, iMovie 3.0.3 on Mac Pro.
    Thanks for help!! (and hope you understand my school englisch)

    Normally Apple-Z will undo just the last thing I've done but yesterday it deleted everything and I don't know how to get it back.
    True, that is what should have happened, but in your case for some reason it cleared the lot. If there is nothing in the media folder, and nothing in the trash, then it sounds as though you have truly lost everything. The big question is really why the problem occurred in the first place.
    As Lennart says, you should not still be using imovie 3.
    Sorry can't be of more help.

  • Making brochure with lots of 'large' photos, how can I get InDesign to work faster?

    I am trying to create a brochure using lots of photos some of which are quite large 12mb+ and In Design is being really sluggish.  Is there anything I can do to help InDesign work faster?
    Many thanks

    You see in the link panel, if the file is embedded or you see the path were the image is saved.
    On your OS, I think it is Win, you go to a file with the suffix you use, with the right mouse click select in the context menu, to open with other, don't select Photoshop directly, selct with an application you will select manually and choose an option which tells you always to open this type with that program (PSD, TIFF, JPG and PDP with Photoshop and AI and EPS with Illustrator, but don't use EPS anymore, and use the suffix PDP if you work with Photoshop PDFs to get Photoshop instead of Acrobat with PDF to open the apropriate program.)

  • A lot of tabs loads and tells me there was a problem loading the page. How can I stop all the tabs loading because ist slows down Firefox.

    When I open Firefox, a lot of tabs try to open at the same time. They all say Problem loading the page. It happened after I tried to download a owners manual for Harley Davidson motor cycles. How can I stop all but one tab from opening.

    This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.

  • How can I 'program' DVD SP to fast forward?

    I am building a 2 min. video, and would like to be able to set it up so that one can scroll through (fast forward) while watching it.  Would this mean setting up an End Jump?  Which brings me to my next question -- I did not set up an End Jump, because I wanted the DVD to stop at the end of the video, however, it loops, which isn't what I want.  So, I'd like to be able to scroll through it (fast forward), and end at the end...thank you!!

  • How can I get a clip in a fixed position?

    Dear people,
    i have a question for you. I am making a video clip. In the clip I use a lot of short clips of 10 seconds
    or less after one another. Transitions, effects, everything is working great. But how do fix a clip on the timeline.
    Everytime I change the lenght of one of the short clips, all the other clips are moving out of their position.
    I hope there is a solution, otherwise i have a huge problem. Heeelp!

    Hi
    Here You meet the border of Amateurism and Professionalism.
    This can not be done (with any form of ease) in any version of iMovie.
    BUT - this is a standard way of working in FinalCut up to version Express 4 or pro 7
    (What can or can't be done in FCP-X still is a mystery to me)
    So either - document every clip on a number of frame basis in iMovie up to HD6 and do this very carefully and tedious labor.
    Or try to find a second hand version of any previous version of FinalCut.
    iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - I'm not sure that one can document each clip at frame exact notification. May be ?
    And of course one can do this in QuickTime Pro - BUT then at a need of an even higher level of carefulness and skill.

  • How can I get video clips dated 12/29/10 and later do not show in view screen. (iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo w/OSX 10.6.8)

    Pre 12/29/10 clips show fine in viewer window but anything more recent does not. Consequently, I don't have any way to work with them. I'm still on iMovie '08. Would upgrading to '11 help? My video clips were entered into iPhoto from a Canon still camera with the ability to take one minute video. The video format is labeled MVI (#) AVI in iPhoto. None of the video clips  run in iPhoto but they all run on my 1st generation iPad!
    Can anyone help me with this problem? I'd like to do a movie of my grandson as well as our new puppy.
    Thanks, Ruth Sumner

    You are only running on 2GB of RAM. IMHO 4GB woud be the minimum to realistically run Mavericks on, although the more the better.

  • How can I get two clips to look normal while layered?

    Hi! I've been scouring the internet looking for an answer, and as a last resort I've come here. I am trying to make a video where it looks like I barely lay down in time before a car drives over me. It's really just a test video, but I still want it to be well done.
    I have tried simply changing the crop zone on them so that the car and me can be seen in the same shot; however, the crop lines are visible, I don't go under the car, and that makes it look just plain bad.
    I have also messed around with the composite modes, but that changes the lighting, and make me or the car see through.
    The last thing I tried was changing opacity, but that made me or the car see through again.
    To recap: I kept my tripod in the same place, so the backdrop is the same, however in one shot I walk, lay down in the street, get up and walk away, and in the other a car drives by. I also have some shots of just the backdrop. I want the shot to be all original footage of mine, and look quite normal. Just me walking into the street, laying down and a car driving over me. No need to change shadows or anything, just testing layering.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for answering
    Yes, the timeline is rendered,
    I am watching it on the Mac's screen.
    I have two types of footage in it. The one from a Sony 20X camcorder and one from the Panasonic DVX...

  • How can I get my CLIP working?

    I'm trying to figure out how to use CLIP with Labview FPGA 8.6.
    I've created a small vhdl file and matching xml file. For some reason, simulation shows the output vector as random data. Output is stuck at zero when I run it on my PXI-7811R.
    I wonder if my link to the vhdl file within the xml file is invalid?
    I tried following the tutorial, and I'm pretty close, but something is not quite right.

    Hi Tom,
    I'm glad to see you are trying out the CLIP feature of LabVIEW 8.6.  It sounds like you have 2 questions:
    1 - Why does my CLIP produce random data in simulation?
    2 - Why does my CLIP produce no data when running in hardware?
    Regarding #1 - By simulation I assume this means you have selected "Execute VI on Development Computer with Simulated I/O" in the Debugging tab of the FPGA Target Properties menu.  In this mode CLIP I/O will produce either random data or data from a VI you specify (also configured in the same menu).  Therefore, if you would like more realistic I/O data in your simulation, you must write a VI to generate this data.
    Note - Some targets allow you to connect data from Real I/O to your simulated FPGA VI.  However, this capability does not exist for CLIP I/O.
    Regarding #2 - I looked at your CLIP files briefly and I noticed one problem - the reset signal in your CLIP VHDL is active low.  The reset signal from LabVIEW FPGA is active-high.  This means when running in hardware your CLIP will be held in reset.  Try inverting the reset in your CLIP VHDL (i.e. if reset = '1'...).  I will review our documentation - we may need to make this reset polarity more clear in the documentation.
    Best regards,
    RB

  • How can I get video clips to play in a browser?

    Scenario:  A client visits my Web site.  A shockwave movie plays automatically.  It contains a video clip.  When the SW movie encounters the frame containing the movie clip, it simply skips over it and continues.  The video never plays.  I have tried avi, windows media, mpeg and quicktime with the same results.
    I have found that the video plays fine as long as I open the director movie with Director.  But when I open it with a browser, the video clip does not play.  I have tried Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers.
    Does someone know what I am missing to make the video play in a browswer?
    Thanks.
    Dewey

    When the SW movie encounters the frame containing the movie clip, it simply skips over it and continues.  The video never plays.
    Presumably you have code to stop the playhead from moving while the video plays? You might want to post it.
    If you are testing this locally, you need a folder named "dswmedia" somewhere in the path or linked content, like your video file, won't be found. Check the docs for more details.

  • How can I get tracks to play faster than normal speed in itunes?

    I have lectures, audio books, and other recordings that I would like to play at faster than normal speed (like 1.5X or 2X normal speed).   I've set all of these recordings as audio books because I read that they have the option to play faster, but, I can't find how to actually make them play faster.  I also read that it's possible to open them in quicktime, but that is very much less than ideal and a waste of time.  Surely there is a way to do this in itunes, but I can't figure it out.
    Thanks for any help.

    I will show you how I played my audio or mp3 files at any particular speed. This method will allow you to simply enter in your desired speed.(ex. 1.5 or 1.33)
    In my case Im using an audio book [Lord of the flies] I download off youtube as a MP3 file using this program:
    http://download.cnet.com/MediaHuman-YouTube-to-MP3-Converter/3000-2140_4-7544580 3.html
          First off,  you will need to make sure your audio file is open in QuickTime player rather then iTunes. First you need to locate the audio file. If your audio file is in itunes then right click the file and select "Show in Finder"
         The file should open in a finder window, highlighted. Right click the file, go to "Open With.." And click Quicktime Player. (If quickTime Player is not an option, you need to go to "Other..." and select QuickTime Player from your Applications folder)
    Now that your mp3 file is open in a QuickTime window you may proceed to step 1.
    1) Open Finder
    2) Click Applications
    3) Click Utilities
    4) Open AppleScript Editor
    5) In the program copy and paste the script below.
    6) Click "Compile"
    7) Now to test this script, click "Run" A window should pop up prompting you to enter your desired speed (default is 1.5)
    8) press "OK" and quick time should start playing your audio at the speed you entered in.
    9) If you would like to use this script again, go to File > Save... >Name your AppleScript and save it Anywhere (I saved mine in the Music Folder for easy access)
    tell application "iTunes"
    pause
    set myTrack to location of current track
    # the player’s position within the currently playing track in seconds
    set mySeconds to player position
    end tell
    # show a Dialog
    set SpeedFactor to 1.5
    display dialog "Enter speed factor:" default answer SpeedFactor
    set SpeedFactor to text returned of the result
    tell application "QuickTime Player"
    activate
    # pause all previously opened documents
    set open_docs to documents
    repeat with doc in open_docs
    pause doc
    end repeat
    # open the track just played in iTunes
    open myTrack
    # get the 'QuickTime' document, MyTrack should be equivalent but it isn't
    set MyMovie to first document
    # rewind by 10 seconds
    if mySeconds > 10 then
    set mySeconds to mySeconds - 10
    end if
    # set current time
    set current time of MyMovie to mySeconds
    # set Speed Factor and start playing
    set rate of MyMovie to SpeedFactor
    end tell

  • I don't want 5,6,7,8,9, and so on I want 4 back how can I get it and don't tell me to down load it because it just updates to the newest version. I have no need for anything beyond 4. If I don;t here from you by 5 o'clock central time I will uninstall it.

    i want 4 back F#&k 5,6, there junk! unstable at bet and without google toolbar and read on web.

    Firefox 4 is currently unsupported, so you will not get security updates. However, you can still find it at ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/4.0.1/win32/en-US/
    When you have it installed, at the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options.
    Click the Advanced panel.
    Click the Update tab. The auto-update options are displayed.
    You probably are going to want to select "Never check for updates."
    Keep in mind that Firefox 3.6.22 is still supported, and you can find it at [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]

  • How can I get my products to install with a slow internet download connection?

    I keep trying to download but crash. I spoke with a support person that informed me my download times were slow (have a ti line) and install one product at a time, but I have crashed twice with photoshop and twice with illustrator, have only been successful with installing InDesign. Any suggestion as to getting the installation to succeed? We are waiting until contract up to upgrade the internet connections.

    Thank you Jeff,
    The error message says something like"download failed" check firewall, virus software etc. The install moves very slowly if at all, and then just stops and the message appears.  I am on OS 10.9.1 and have a T1 line for internet, for business.
    I have successfully downloaded a couple apps, but it takes all day. The support person said to only do one install
    at a time. ( I had selected all I wanted to download before leaving for the weekend and Illustrator only went 17% by Monday am. I have tried to limit internet usage during the install  time to allow the install full use when possible.

  • How can i get imovie to finalize faster

    Does it really take 15 hours to finalize a 50min video ?

    If the time to finish is decreasing, that is a good sign, and it may finish.
    If you check the Activity Monitor, you can tell if there is a hang condition going on.
    I am not sure what Vimeo allows.
    One thing you might try, but a little risky...
    When you finalize, it creates copies in all available sizes.
    You might look and see if any sizes have already completed. If so, you could copy and paste that size to another folder (or to your desktop) and start uploading that to Vimeo, while the remaining sizes finish.
    If you are lucky, it will have done the largest sizes first.
    Take care not to do anything to the file it is currently creating. You should be able to tell because it should be sort of gray and should show a zero size until it is finished.
    OK to find it, go to your Movies/iMovie Projects folder.
    Hold down the Control key while clicking on the Project name. Select SHOW PACKAGE CONTENTS from the popup menu. Look inside the Movies folder in the package. If there are any completed movies, they would be in there.
