I selected a clip in the Project window in iMovie 11, opened the Clip Trimmer for that clip, chose the part of the clip I wanted to keep with the yellow bars, and "trim to Selection" in the menu bar is light grey so I can't complete the edit.
I'm using a MacbookPro so can't right click to highlight (as was suggested in this forum for the same problem) and can't seem to highlight that area. What do I do?

When using the Clip Trimmer, you click DONE to indocate that you are finished.
The Trim To Selection is a great tool and I use it all the time, but you use it in the main project timeline, not the clip trimmer. Just select the frames you want so that the yellow border is around them. Then right-click and select Trim to Selection.

  • Select a range from the Project window in iMovie 10.0.3

    In iMovie 10.0.3, I can no longer select a range of frames from the Project window; when I left click, the whole clip highlights yellow.  I can still shorten the clip from the ends, but not select any range within the clip.  What gives? Thank you.

    GOOD GRIEF!  That did it, THANK YOU!  I wonder why they added this 2 second delay in the current version... regardless, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

  • How do I get the Project Window of iMovie '11 functioning properly?

    The scrubber in the Project Window runs painfully slow. It has to think about literally every movement, but if I just hit Play it will run smoothly. The scrubber in the Event Window also works fine. I had thought it was because I didn't have enough space in the Startup Disk, but I've cleared it out and nothing's changed.

    If you had iMovie 9 and upgraded to Mavericks, iMovie 9 should still be in your Applications folder  in a folder called imovie 9.0.9.  You can still use it and your Events and projects folders should still be present.

  • Installed latest softward for my ipad 2 and now it want's me to connect to iTunes and restore to factory settings!? What do I do? I can't access the iPad2 other than a screen that shows a plug being inserted into the iTunes logo.

    So I saw that my software needed to be updated, so I did it over  wifi, then a picture with the plug being inserted into the iTunes logo appears on the screen when finished the install. I plug my iPad 2 into the connector and iTunes sees the iPad 2 connected. Then a window opens that says to restore to use iTunes. I click restore and a second message appears stating something to the effect "Are you sure you want to restore to factory setting all info will be lost."
    NO I don't want to loose everything.
    My iPad only powers on with the image of a cord pugging into the iTunes logo. I can't get past it and I don't want to restore the iPad 2 to factory settings.
    What do I do?
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Suddenly my project window has no scroll bars, and if I return to the project library, select my project and click edit, another project LIBRARY appears partially covering the project window.  Help.

    In the middle of making a movie, the scroll bars vanished in the project window and I could no longer navigate at all.  If I went to the project library and selected the project, another image of the project library slid in and entered onto my screen.  after repeated attempts to open the project in various ways, I have it now, but there are holes in the project window (blank background) and no scroll bars.  It does not respond to anything.
    can someone help?

    I'm adding more information:
    in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible.  When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip.  ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
    This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
    All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them. 

  • In the music window of iMovie music selections are shown a number of times. Why? Shouldn't the duplications be deleted? They are not doubled in iToons

    In the music window of iMovie , music selections are shown a number of times. Why? Shouldn't the duplications be deleted? They are not doubled in iToons.
    How does one delete them? How do you avoid duplications in the future?

    Are you referring to the jingles?
    They are available in different lengths; short, medium and long. They also may be available in .CAF and .AIFF formats.
    If you are referring to your songs in iTunes, I have never seen that one before.

  • I can't shorten my photo clips in the project window.  Why not?

    I have video clips and photos in the project window and at some point each photo doubled and when I just any form of "clip adjustment" for length it does not stick.  I checked the fact that I wanted each photo to only last 4 s in the movie every one of them is a different time that I can't change.

  • IMovie showing one thing on the project window and different one in preview

    I have create an iMovie project with iMovie 08. On the project window I could see my pictures as I have imported, in the perfect order and with the correct orientation. I just installed iLife09 and I opened the project on iMovie09. The project window shows pictures in a random order, the orientation of some pictures are wrong (upside down, portrait etc). But to my surprise if I play the video or move the mouse over the pictures it shows the correct picture on the preview window.
    What's wrong ?

    I'm having a similar problem. Any fixes?

  • How to understand the "New Item" icon at the bottom of the Project window

    I'm trying to understand that small "New Item" box at the bottom of the project window better. I'm aware that when I bring video clips into my project, if I drag them to this box, PPCS5 will add them to the timeline. I partially understand the positive reasons for doing so, primarily that PPCS5 will correctly identify the type of video being brought into the project. I know that if I select all my clips and drag them to the new item box, that all my clips will be added to the timeline at the same time and all together on the timeline. There are many things I don't understand about it. If I add my clips one by one using the "New Item" icon, they will show up as separate sequences on the timeline. If you try to add another clip at a later time, can that clip not be added using the "New Item" box?  One other question is what would be the advantage in putting clips on the timeline as separate sequences? And one further question is do you drag other items to this box besides video clips? Like music, and still images?

    Dragging something to the New Item icon doesn't just add that something to a sequence.  It actually creates the correct sequence for the something to be added to.
    You do this once, when you need a new sequence.  Anything else you want to add to that sequence you do by other means.

  • How to split a movie in the project window

    I spent a lot of time dragging clips up into the project window, inserting lots of title frames, and editing clips. When exporting to iDVD discovered that the projet is 2x too big. How do I split the movie into two halves in the project window without having to re-do the whole project?

    Exit your project so your are back at the Project Library List. You should see your project as a filmstrip in the list. Right-click or control click on your project name and select Duplicate. You will now have 2 copies of your project. Duplicate it again to be safe.
    Then, delete the first half of one of the duplicates, and delete the second half of the other duplicate.

  • I can't locate my Comp in the Project window

    I was able to locate it by choosing an asset used in it and choosing from a pull down in the Project pane.
    Is there a way like right clicking on a layer in the time line that gives you the possibility of revealing it in the project window
    Thank you

    While the comp is open, right click in a blank area of the comp preview area and choose "Reveal Comp In Project".

  • Items in the Project window have changed?

    Hi,
    I have been working for a few hours now.
    In the Project window there has been an icon of my HDD called "Macbook" sitting at the top of the list. I've been placing folders and individual projects under this HDD. I'm guessing the HDD icon represents the top level.
    I then placed all of my projects into folders. For some reason the HDD icon has disappeared and I can't get it back. The reason this is a problem is that I now can't place a new project at the top level (ie: under the HDD), I have to place it in one of the folders. I can't even grab a project that's in one of the folders and drag it out of that folder.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    I then placed all of my projects into folders
    Did you do this within iMovie? The usual method is to choose File>New Folder from iMovie's menu. If you've created the folders outside of iMovie, that could be causing the problem.
    Try deleting iMovie's preference file. Close iMovie first, then navigate to your user folder Library>Preferences and trash the file named "com.apple.iMovie8.plist". When next opened, iMovie will create a new file with the default settings. You may need to change some settings to suit your own preference (iMovie menu - iMovie>Preferences).

  • TS1368 My account keeps asking for Region but the drop down menu lists Cities in China. I can,'t cange the region in my account because it asks me to check the date and time but these are correct. Any answers please?

    My account keeps asking for Region but the drop down menu lists Cities in China. I can,'t cange the region in my account because it asks me to check the date and time but these are correct. Any answers please?

    Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
    If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
    Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
    I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful.

    I was copying files to my time capsule when it crashed when it was almost finished. Now I am stuck with a light grey folder I can not delete. I would´t care if it wasn´t for the fact the folder is 1 TB size and takes up too much space. I have tried turning on and of Hiding Files in Finder and what not with no success. So, how do I delete this folder. Remember, I am not extremely familiar with technical terms.

    I recommend you erase the TC.. it is the easiest and fastest solution.
    In Airport utility open the disk tab and select erase.. choose quick erase.. it will take less than 1min.
    Start again but copy files in small amounts.
