I-movie 06 Titles overwrite clips

I work in a city learning centre where children from local primary schools come to work. The children have imported a piece of stop frame animation into imovie. This appears as a single clip. Each time i add titling to th movie it overwrites the clip that is already there, giving two instances of the title. Both myself and a technician caanot seem to find out why. We discovered a workaround which is clumsy, but worked. We copied the clip, added a title at the end, moved the title to the beginning and then deleted the copy clip. Not a solution to use with 9 year old all the time.
I am sure I am missing something, but what? Any help would be gratefully received.

I am very fuzzy on iMovie 05. I only used it a couple of times before I upgraded to iMovie 06.
I think it does fine with DV tapes. That is really what it was designed for. It should work fine with iDVD.
iMovie 05 was called iMovie HD because it was the first version that would work with HDV tapes. (1440x1080 MPEG2)
In iMovie 06, you can choose a setting in Preferences to "Start a new clip at each scene break". This can be turned on or off. I think this also exists in iMovie 5. If you want to do any editing in iMovie 5, I would leave this on. If not, just turn it off.
If I wanted to get this clip to iMovie 11, then
In iMovie 06, I would drag the long clip to the Timeline and use SHARE/QUICKTIME/EXPERT SETTINGS.
Choose Movie to QuickTime Movie and press Options. In the Video Settings, choose DV/DVC PRO NTSC (unless you are in a PAL country). Leave audio as is. Hit OK.
This should produce a MOV file of DV that will stay in order when you use FILE/IMPORT MOVIE to imovie 11.
You could always go straight from iMovie 05 to iDVD if you did not want to do much editing, or if you wanted to edit in iMovie 05.
Like I said, I am not the expert in iMovie 05. You might want to post a question with iMovie 05 prominently in the title and ask if it will do this, like iMovie 06 will. There are people here who are quite knowledgeable about iMovie 05, but they might never look this deep into this post.

Move a Compound Clip to another project?

is there any way to move a compound clip in FCPx from one project to another?? I tried copying and pasting but am not having success... it just just pastes something that I copied earlier. Any ideas?? Thanks!

Jim is right. I also do this all the time. In fact I "park" several compound clips that I want to reuse in a project made just for that purpose. Then I go into that project, select the compound clip and do the Command C to copy it. Then I exit out of that project and go into the project I want the clip to be copied to. I then (IMPORTANT) click somewhere in the timeline and do a Command V to paste it there. No problems. The only problems I sometimes have is with embedded titles that occasionally loose the text in the first or second title in a series that might have been enclosed in the compound clip. Other than that it works great. By the way, since you are talking about "moving" the compound clip instead of "copying" it, you could use a Command X to cut then the Command V to paste, but that's rather severe and might not survive as a clip should your project crash or some unlikely thing on your way to the new project. If you really want to move it, just copy then paste then go back to the original project and delete it there. Best wishes.

Unable to add title between clips that requires download.

I am using Adobe Premiere Elements 12 and have been unsuccessful in adding titles between clips that are downloaded content.
Need help ASAP!!

Thanks for the reply. I just need to have clarified a few more details.
It sounds like that you are trying to add the "Yearbook_hd_title" under Titles & Text Tab/HD Templates/Yearbook_hd_title.
This Title Template needs to have content download to get the title template to work. To do that, you right click the blue ban at the top right corner of the title template thumbnail and select Download Now and then wait. The process can be long. Is you Internet connection working and working well?
You say that you also have problems downloading content other than that under Titles & Templates. You mention Instant Movie choices as well.
Content download will depend on the Internet connection as well as the Adobe Server.

How do I move a compound clip in one event to another event when it is used in a project?

I've been using FCPX since 10.0.3. The recent upgrade to 10.1 is forcing me to reorganize everything. At some point during the upgrade cycle, Apple decided to store ALL compound clips inside events, automatically, upon creation. I was oblivious to this decision at first. So here's what happened as a result.
I have 10 projects, numbered 1 through 10. My goal was to have one event for each project. However, it looks like most of my compound clips from my later projects got automatically created and placed in the first event (Video 1) instead of in the correctly numbered event. I'm pretty sure the clips INSIDE the compound clips are referencing the correct event; it's just the compound clip itself that resides in the wrong event. I'd like to move these compound clips over to the event they SHOULD have been created in, in the first place. However, I'm not sure if dragging and dropping them to the correct event will (a) create a new copy of the compound clip (one that is not referenced by any project whatsoever), or (b) move the original compound clip to the right event (removing it from the original/wrong event). Also, I'm really concerned about this, because I'm not sure how this affects the compound clip as used inside the actual project. I often have certain effects, color correction, etc. applied to the compound clip itself, and I don't want to lose that.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I really want to get these clips in order.

You can freely drag compound clips between events as you've seen.
If you do this between events in the same library, it will be a move by default; holding down the Option key will make it a copy operation.
If you drag between events in different libraries, this will be a copy operation. All clips contained in the compound clip will also be copied (or references as sym links) to the target library in order to keep the library completely self-contained (libraries never references each other and never span volumes).

How do I move a video clip from one event folder to another?

Today I imported a bunch of old VHS based analog videos. I imported them all into one event library folder.
Now I want to move some of the clips into a new event folder so I can keep all the folders properly organized with what is in them.
When I highlight the selected video clip (I put the yellow border around the video I want to move) and I drop and drag the clip into the new folder imovie 11 asks if I want to move the selected clip. I answer yes, it seems to move the clip BUT it moves the WHOLE CLIP NOT just the part I selected.
I can't seem to make a cut in the video and separate it out.
How do I get the video I selected into the new event folder?

The short answer is that you can't. Purchases are tied to the AppleID used to buy them. AppleID's cannot be merged, and the content cannot be transferred.

I am a new iPhone user. I'm a frequent technology user but not a sophisticated one. I am looking for an app where I can make lists -- books, movie titles, etc. And I want to be able to make individual folders. But I do not need more than that. Help!

I am a new iPhone user. I'm a frequent technology user but not a sophisticated one. I am looking for an app where I can make lists -- books, movie titles, etc. And I want to be able to make individual folders. But I do not need much more capacity than that. Ideas?

One of these may fit your needs: http://iphone.appstorm.net/roundups/productivity-roundups/25-fantastic-to-do-lis t-apps-for-iphone/
What do you mean make folders? Like folders inside an application or accessing system folders? You can't do the latter.

How do you move a sound clip in the timeline?

I have not had this problem before. I have put many songs into the timeline, and repositioned them. Today I pulled up a project and attempted to reposition a song to fit in better with the clip, and I'm unable to do so. I can't select the song, or anything else. Obviously I have set or locked up this track, and I can't figure out how to unlock if that is what I have done. I have 6 songs on that track, Audio track 2, and I can't reposition any of them. I can't even remove them from that track. What am I doing wrong?

Hunt, most of my music files, over 9000 songs, are mostly mp3 files and a few are wma, and because of copyright laws I wouldn't use them in a commercial project I'm working on anyway. When I am working on a project for a client I will generally use higher quality WAV files. This project was being done just to learn some new techniques, gain some more experience with PPCS4, and expand my knowledge with the program. I have this huge number of music files and styles to work with, so I can do a great deal of experimentation to see what different songs can do to the mood of the video.
As a test, I did put the exact same songs into the timeline on a different audio track. The problem track is audio 2, and I duplicated those songs on audio 3. I did the exact same editing. I faded them in and out the same as before. Split one song into 3 sections had parts of it come in and out over a video section of 9 minutes duration. They are working perfectly. I was just working on one section of that project a half hour ago, and I was still able to select and move each of the four songs on that track any way that I wanted to. However, the track just above it in that same timeline, Track 2, is still frozen.
Hunt, just a moment ago I solved my problem. Still not being that familiar with the program, two days ago I know that I was playing with all of the controls, and I obviously hit one of them without knowing one of its side effects. I hit the show "show track keyframes". I'm sure that you know it, but I didn't realize that when that function is selected, you can't do much else with the track but play with those keyframe. Even though I didn't have the track locked, in the traditional way, it was still, for all practicall reasons, locked. I unchecked that function and now everything is back to normal again on that track.
Something very simple, as many things turn out to be when you understand it. However, maybe someone else will make the same mistake, and my posting here will help them.
I will use your suggestions for using .WAV files. Thank you again.

Terry,
What is the purpose of using the .WMA files? I'm sure that you have a good reason, but they can be problematic, at best. I only use them as a trasfer medium, when I need to get a DD 5.1 SS soundtrack into Audition for editing. There, I break them out into 6 discrete .WAV files, edit in Multi-track Mode and then usually Export as the 6 discrete WAV's to be encoded to DTS, or similar.
If you do not have a compelling reason for using the .WMA, try PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit and see if the issues go away.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes please,

Movie titles not showing up on SD card. TX with PQDVD

Hi all, I am a new Palm TX user and have already gleaned much useful info from these forums. I have purchased the PQDVD video program and it works fine except for one small quirk. The movie titles do not show up on my SD card they way they do when i view the files on my computor. Instead I get a generic black and white still of a peice of movie film and I have to start the movie to see which one it is. Once started the movies play fine on the TX. I am using a windows computor running XP home edition. I download the files using quick install.
Thanks,
pyrate

REPOST: Flash movie (.swf) getting clipped

Hi,
At the website www.coastlifechurch.com there is a Flash movie
on the front
page (top left of the eight squares). I made the basics of
the Flash movie,
then emailed it to my client to put new pictures in. He
assures me that he
left the movie at 200px x 200px. When it is inserted into the
page (he has
done via DreamWeaver), the bottom right gets clipped by one
or two pixels.
Even when I tested the movie setting the parameters to 150
px, the movie
still gets clipped. When I view the movie directly in
FireFox, it shows the
border all around the movie just as it should. (see
www.coastlifechurch.com/flash/Get-to-know-us.swf)
Can anyone help me work this out?
Thanks,
Bruce

Yes, in order to do anything with regards to editing the Flash file you will need to have the fla file.

Need to split long movie into many clips to edit video

I upgraded to iMovie 11 from iMovie HD 6...it was a long wait to get audio and video editing that was at least as good as HD 6. We had some 40 year old Super 8 movies digitized and used HD 6 to split them into clips so I could edit parts that were almost black, or some almost totally blown out. I realized that this could probably be done better with 11, so purchased it, but couldn't import the HD 6 clips. Was told I had to export the whole movie as a single clip, then import into 11 and break them apart again to edit.
While I was proficient in HD 6 enough to produce some good stuff, iMovie 11 is befuddling to me, which is a surprise since I do fine with the latest iPhoto, which uses similar terms and processes. I have ordered David Pogue's book; while waiting for it to arrive, my main question is: how do I split this 75 minute movie into multiple clips for editing purposes? Apparently splitting can only be done in the project library, and apparently 11 will only let you split into 2 or 3 clips???
Thanks for any help.

First, you may not need to spit the event clips at all. You can select short bits of the long event clip and drag it into your project as you wish.
Having said that, there are good reasons to split event clips. For example, the 75 minute movie may contain many logical events that you wish to split out by date. In this case, iMovie 11 can do it, but I would not recommend it. It is a slow process and is prone to error.
I would recomment that you use a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared Five (google it).
To use MPEG Streamclip, drag your long clip into MPEG Streamclip.
Then, move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then, FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME (or FILE/EXPORT TO DV if it is DV). Then repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
(let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
When finished splitting your long clip, import into iMovie by using FILE/IMPORT...MOVIE

Is it possible to lock tracks on Premiere Elements 11? Overwriting clips?

Hi,
From what I can see/have read it is not possible to lock tracks whilst editing on Premiere Elements 11 - is that right?
I am a new user and have been finding that as I'm moving clips around the timeline it seems very unpredictable as to whether the clip slots into place without affecting the position of everything else or whether it creates a cut in the soundtrack leaving an empty space, or whether it just shifts things up.
Essentially I want to know how to overwrite clips (ie. when I drag a clip in, everything else on the timeline stays in the same place)
I'm assuming that this means that there is a method to do all of these things but I appear to have done them all by accident and can't work out the method!
Any help much appreciated. Thanks!

Holding down the Ctrl key (or the Cmd key on a Mac) as you add new clips to the timeline will keep everything on the timeline in place and override the ripple feature.

How to move multiple subtitle clips?

Hi!
I want to move multiple subtitle clips in the timeline. How can i do that? I want to select multiple subtitles and then drag them to left about 2 minutes. Just click+drag doesn't work. I didn't find help in the manual also...
Waiting for the small tip.
Timo

Hi Timo
As you have discovered you can't drag all the subs in the timeline - you can only drag one at a time... which is why you will find most people recommend creating your subtitles outside of DVD-SP and then importing them. If you have to adjust them you can then go back to this file created outside and adjust the in outs of the timecode.
One way you could save the situation (I''m assuming you made the subs in DVD-SP) is to export an item description of the track then use a little utility called Subtitler
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/26322
This can extract those subtitles back out of the item description and can (I believe) adjust the timings as well and create a DVD-SP friendly STL file which you can re-import into SP... then if any others need tweaking you can go back to that external file adjust, re-import...
I've only ever tested it to see if it coul indeed extract a sub from an item description so can'tr vouch for it's other abilities - we normally use Lemony or Subtitle Workshop on a PC to adjust subs
Hope that's some help

Import whole movie as one clip in imovie

Hi, not sure if I am posting this in the right place now - ah just looked down below my post and it appears it will put it in the imovie forum, good
I have never used iMovie. I've used several video editing products in past years, but haven't done much recently and now I have a deadline of Christmas eve to get this done.
A good few years ago we transferred all of my wife's family home super 8 film to DV format and then spent weeks editing them down to a very nice 20 minute video with music. Made a bunch of DVDs but over the years, they seem to have all stopped working or been lost. The master is still on DV tape and I now have my sony camera linked up to my MBP and it seems to work very well once I got the firewire to thunderbolt connector. It controls the camera perfectly, better than a lot of products that I used to use.
So my problem is ithat when I imported the video, it cut everything up into clips.... and when I put all the clips into a movie they do not play seamlessly... as I don't want to do any editing on this, I just want it all as one long clip so I can export it into suitable formats for my sister-in-law to download on Christmas day...
So I have gone back to the import process and I couldn't seem to find any settings or anything for adjusting how the video is imported from my camera.
I certainly hope this can be done... not so much video editing I want to do, but more of a conversion process I guess, any help would be urgently and greatly appreciated!

hmm, after 24 hours of searching etc I have come to the conclusion that iMovie is pretty rubbish at functionality and a way for Apple to push it's iDrive and get me to pay money for it as well... :-(
I tried putting all my clips into a movie, but the audio skips between the clips and I can't reduce the transition to 0 - so actually no way of recreating my whole movie again and no way of capturing the whole movie in one clip - granted I've only been using this for a day, but after years of video editing I cant say the interface settting or anything else is intuitive about it... seemed promising at first, but in the end I got my old version of Adobe Premier out and it did what I needed first time, no fuss. Afraid iMovies is heading for the trash.

Movie TITLE is in GRAY and will NOT SYNC with iPod

Hi Folks,
Just imported a short home movie into my Movie Folder in iTunes for Windows. It shows-up in iTunes just fine, and it PLAYS - in iTunes - just fine.
Trouble is...when I sync my U2 Video iPod, the *Title for that home movie is in gray* - not black like the others. I check the box so this movie will sync, I hit sync...and it does NOT transfer to the U2 iPod.
All other movies (titles in BLACK) transfer/sync just fine. The one in GRAY does not.
I did try the "Make an Apple Ipod Version" i.e. Convert...and the file it creates exhibits the same behavior: it shows up in my Movie folder, I can play it WITHIN iTunes for Windows, but the Title of said movie is in GRAY when I attempt to sync and it will NOT transfer. Please help! Anyone? Thanks!

Hi - The first one is .mp4 and then when that didn't "sync" (but DID play in itunes) I used the itunes menu choice to "convert" to ipod use...that one came out with an .mv4 extension (both files same size and both say H.264 codec in 'info').
So,to sum-up, neither the mp4 nor the mv4 would sync to my iPod...yet both would appear - and play just fine - within itunes. Upon syncing, the title of both goes gray.
Any ideas? Thanks!
