I can't reposition a movie clip into an earlier part of my project

I have made some vids on my iPad, uploaded them to iMovie no problem.  I watched the sequence and deleted some blunders etc.  This left the long film strip into clips which still plays fine.  I re-filmed one section and loaded that into my project.  iMovie automatically put it at the end of the project.  It won't let me drag and drop it to a new area.  I'm able to select it, but when I try to move it, its simply returned back to the end of the project.

Works fine on another (newer) MBP. (Admin user account)
Did anyone ever solve this?
You may be on to something - the admin versus managed account may be the difference here.

    Drag and drop doesn't work - instead do a File -> import -> movies and select from there.

  • I have 3 consecutive movie clips that I am trying to drop into the drop zone but it only recognizes the first one and only produces the firts one in a DVD. How can I drop all three  movie clips into one drop zone

    On IDVD, I have 3 consecutive movie clips that I am trying to drop into the drop zone to create a DVD but it only recognizes the first one I dropped and only produced the first one in a DVD. How can I drop all three  movie clips into one drop zone.

    I have had some luck doing the following: Export each clip from imovie as a quicktime clip. Open iDVD and create a new project. Import a few stills into iDVD and then click on the button that gets created to get into the screen where the individual slides appear. Drag each quicktime into that screen and arrange in the order you want. You can then delete the stills. The button that appeared when you dropped in the stills will launch a complete show.

  • Why can't I drag a clip into the timeline?

    I just loaded PP CD5 onto my Win 7 laptop.  I can import movie clips into my project, but I can't drag any of those clips into the timeline.  When I try to drag them, I get a hand with a "do not enter" symbol.  No error messages of any kind.
    I vaguely remember having this same issue when I loaded PP CS5 on my Win 7 desktop several months ago, and I thought I found something on the forums that told me how to fix it, but I can't find it now.  Perhaps a change in the preferences?
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Did you actually create a sequence? If not, go to File > New > Sequence, or drag one of your clips to the New Item icon at the bottom of the Project Panel. You can also click that to get the New Sequence option.

  • Importing MOV clips into Premier Elements 10

    I'm trying to import Qucktime MOV clips into Adobe Premier Elements 10 but they install as audio files only. How can I get them to load as video clips so I can construct a movie from them?

    Hi
    I'm using a Mobius 1080p HD camera shooting in HD producing MOV files.
    I've inspected one of the files using Quicktime/Windows and the information is
    Format - H.264. 1920 x 1080. Millions 16 bit Integer (Little Endian). Mono. 32.000 Htz
    Movie FPS = 30.00
    Playing FPS = 30.00
    Data Size 401.47 MB
    Data Rate 18.19 mbits/sec
    Duration 00.03.05.00
    Normal Size 1920 x 1080 pixels
    Current Size 1920 x 1080 pixels
    The clips play in excellent quality HD and without a problem in Windows Media Player
    I have reformated some in MP4 format and they will play back in Premier Elements after a fashion.. but very slow and jerky making editing just about impossible. I have reloaded Adobe Premier Elements on another computer but get the same results.
    It appears Adobe Premier Elements is not up to dealing with these files.

  • Export movie clip into a series of png(images)

    Hi Im using flash CS6 and I was wondering if it is possible to export a movie clip into a series of images, ie if there are 200 frames, convert the movie clip to 200 images...preferably png.
    Thanks all!

    We write blitting scripts(AIR) that essentially frame capture to create sequences or sprite sheets (RGBA32 png no problem)
    the only downside is you need to author a definitive start -> end to define the number of frames you want.
    if you nest a Bird flap with 5 frames clips inside a 6 frame hop then the clip will only loop perffectly if you author 30 frames...
    if you want to make it exactly 6 frames without skipping you need to manually unify these motions
    There is sprite packing software (such as texture packer) which will blit a swf [movieClip]; I  author traditional 2D vFX in flash, add some blur/glow and other tween FX such as advanced color/alpha changes. (make sure the timelines are unified) Bring the swf to Texturepacker and the thing blits out the sprite sheet wonderfully with all the movieClip filter FX.
    works great,
    too bad the native flash software can't do this.  in order to do it in flash you have to use graphic symbols. therefore the timelines must show you the animation and what you see is what you get.  And since they have to be graphics you don't get any movieclip filters blur/glow .  dissapointing

  • Error -2002 when importing quicktime movie clips into iMovie Project

    When I import QuickTime movie clips into my project, the scroll bar fills about 1/3 of the way, and then I get this message:
    Can't open file "DSCN0812.MOV"; skipping it and continuing. I CLICK "OK," and then this message appears:
    Error during import
    The file could not be imported: (-2002)
    This happens to every movie clip. Anyone have any idea what's happening here?
    Thanks!

    I guess, you try to import 'moving images' from a still cam, right? these are in a codec (=mov is no format, just a container) , iM doesn't support. Use the free tool *Mpeg Streamclip* www.squared5.com to convert these files to 'dv stream' BEFORE importing to iMovie.

  • Bringing Movie Clips into ipod Touch

    I know there is a really simple answer to this, I'm just not seeing it (:
    I'd like to bring some .avi movie clips into the ipod but I don't seem to see how to do this. I've tried doing a drag and drop of the clip into the box under the 'Movie' tab in itunes, but that didn't work. Is there a place to put the clips where itunes sees them?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Stew

    You have to use itunes. Open the file in itunes and it will be added to the library and can be synced to your ipod if you select it in the movie pane.
    You can add videos other than those purchased from the iTunes Store to iPod touch,
    such as videos you create in iMovie on a Mac or videos you download from the
    Internet and then add to iTunes.
    If you try to add a video from iTunes to iPod touch and a message says the video can’t
    play on iPod touch, you can convert the video.
    Convert a video to work with iPod touch: Select the video in your iTunes library and
    choose Advanced > “Create iPod or iPhone Version.” Then add the converted video to
    iPod touch.

    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.

  • Premier After Effects... How does one places the whole movie clip into AF?

    After years of using Premiere, I’m looking at using After Effects. Premiere does most of what I need (I don’t need moving graphics and titles) but the masking and rotoscoping seems to be better in After Effects. I’ve started a great video by Tom Green at school. This is probably silly question- I don’t understand is how does one places the whole movie clip into AF? I only see 30 seconds or so of the 5 minute clip on the timeline in AF.

    Ahh, thanks. I simply add more minutes (the length of the clip) into the "new composition".
    A new problem: When I try a dynamic link with premiere AE says “Failed to connect to adobe Premiere Pro Dynamic Link”, but PP will link with AE. I just installed AF last week. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall them (along with the rest of the Creative Suite)?

  • How can i let a move clip complete his motion tween movement after dragging and dropping it

    hi how can i let a move clip complete his motion tween movement after dragging and dropping it
    i am using this code and there is a motion tween applies to the movie clip r_mc
    r_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,fun); r_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,fun2); function fun(event:MouseEvent):void { stop(); r_mc.startDrag();
    function fun2(event:MouseEvent):void {
    play(); r_mc.stopDrag();

    i have a simple .fla file wich contains MC that has
    a motion tween(its moving from the left to the right of the stage)
    this motion tween covers the whole time line (  there is only 50 frames in the time line)
    i mean in the frame 1 the MC appears in the left of the stage
    and in the frame 50 the MC appears in the right of the stage and there is a motion tween between them
    every thing till now working well
    i want to make that MC dragabble
    so when i drag the MC i will use stop()
    and when i drop it i will use play()
    but the problem is that the mc doesnt move and complete
    his motion tween movement when i drop it
    for example the MC will be in the middle of the stage in frame 25
    in this frame (25) i am draging the MC ,stoping the timeline,dropping the MC and resum playing the timeline again
    but the MC freezes in the middle of the stage and doesnt go to the right of the stageo until the flash loops and start from the frame 1 again
    here is the example wich i am worikng on

  • Can't drop an edited clip into themes?

    I have edited my clips and trying to drop them into the drop boxes, but the theme ignores my editing. This is the same with split clips and trimmed clips. The trash seems empty (I think), but the clip, when put into the theme box reverts to the original. Any suggestions?
    thanks
    Nick

    Select your clips, then choose File > Export, then turn ON the checkbox "Share selected clips only" in the Export dialog window.
    Export the clip to a Full Quality movie. Save it to your desktop or other location.
    Import THAT movie back into the project and drag it to the Drop Zone.
    After the theme renders you can discard the clip.

  • How do I put short Iphone movie clips into one long movie?

    What's the best method to take short little movie clips from my Iphone and splice them together into one long movie without using video quality? 
    I have Imovie so if I use it, will I lose video quality?  I've been told that Imovie 08' only imports every other line of resolution when I capture Digital Video.  Does it do the same for Iphone videos?
    I tried to use Final Cut Express already but when I exported the video and then viewed it in Itunes it looked quite a bit worse than the originals.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Uploading sony cybershot DSC-T7 movie clips into iMovie

    I can import the movie clips from my Sony Cybershot DSC-T7 into iPhoto, and I can play the movies on my Mac. I can move still photos from that camera successfully into iMovie. That's the good news.
    But every time I try to move a movie clip from my Sony Cybershot DSC-T7 into the area to create a new project, I get the RED flag.
    I even went to an Apple store where they had a session on iMovie to sort it out. The Apple person guessed my inablity to import movie clips from the Sony camera was because my Sony doesn't have the right movie format. Apparently the only kinds of files that iMovie works with are MPEG-4, DV, or .mov files.
    What movie format does the Sony Cybershot DSC-T7? If I can successfully hook up the camera via USB port, and can play the movie clips on my Mac, why can't I import them into iMovie?
    My current backup measure is to take pictures while my movie clips are running, using the Apple-Shift-3 keys to create stills. But, hey, I want to work with the video stream!
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    What movie format does the Sony Cybershot DSC-T7?
    MPEG VX. If I remember correctly, this is a full-frame (VGA) of MPEG-1 with up to 30 fps in fine setting. Muxed formats (like MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VOD, TOD, MOD, FLASH, etc.) are not editable at the frame level and must be converted to a compression format that contain synchronized instances (i.e., frames) of audio and video data.
    If I can successfully hook up the camera via USB port, and can play the movie clips on my Mac, why can't I import them into iMovie?
    There are basically three levels of QT support for video files:
    1) PLAYBACK ONLY -- these files can be played back by QT applications but cannot be converted or edited.
    2) CONVERSION COMPATIBLE -- These files with play in QT applications and can be converted to "Fully" compatible QT compression formats but cannot be edited at the frame level.
    3) FULLY COMPATIBLE -- these files can be played, converted, and edited by QT applications.
    Your video files are "Playback Only." If converted by a QT Application (like iMovie '06 or iTunes), they will lose their audio. They can, however, be converted to iMovie '08 import/edit compatible files by MPEG-based, third-party applications like MPEG Streamclip (free), iSquint (free), FFmpegX (donation ware), Visual Hub (pay ware), etc.
