I want to capture a moving screenshot (zooming in on a document) on my macbook pro. Is it possible?

Im doing a project in iMovie and want to capture a moving screen shot (zoom in to the names on a document). Is it possible?

Many Thanks Clinton
I just found a previous clip I did, zooming in from outer space on google earth, so Ive obviously done it before.
Just have to remember know how the **** I did it?!
Its just an historical document and I want to zoom in on the names featured in the centre of the deed.
I was succesful in "zooming in" on the other one so will just remember now how I did it before...
Many Thanks

  • I want to install Mavericks on my new SSD before putting it in my MacBook Pro, is this possible?

    I want to install Mavericks on my new SSD before putting it in my MacBook Pro, is this possible? If so how can I do it. My MBP can run and is running Macericks now on my HDD. I do not want to transfer my file, I would prefer a fresh install on my new SDD.
    Thanks in advance for all your help.

    Connect the SSD with an external enclosure. Boot the system holding down the Command and R keys to get to the Recovery partition. Partition and format the drive with Disk Utility, then install. You're done.

    Hmm, that is very strange. I agree with MichelB that it's probably best just to get the PDF, but you can try going to your username>library>preferences and deleting:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 settings
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 paths
    To see the library, click the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account. While you're in there it wouldn't be a bad idea to go to the Saved Application States folder and delete anything pertaining to PSE.
    Repair permissions and see if that does it.

  • I want to change the settings (brightness, contrast, gamma) for my internal cam on Macbook pro. I find having to but a third party software (iglasses, webcam settings) to control basic settings as unnecessary and exploitative. Does anyone have a solution?

    It is not about payment of $19.95 (Igalsses) or $7.99(webcam settings). This is a very basic setting that should be available in the system settings. The automatic setting of the internal cam does not work great on low lighting as everyone is aware.
    i am just amazed how users take in lying down and suggest solutions such as paying for a 3rd party paid app or improving the lighting in your room.

  • Which Mac is best for music purposes?  I want to mix music recorded from MIDI and live sound, and also want to use Sibelius to play music in.  I'm looking at MacBook Pros; any tips?  13" or 15"?

    Which Mac is best for music purposes?  I want to mix music recorded from MIDI and live sound, and also want to use Sibelius to play music in.  I'm looking at MacBook Pros; any tips?  13" or 15"?

    I would think a 15" with the i7 CPU. You can get a 13" with the i7 CPU but the 15" has a dedicated graphic chip along with the intergrated one.
    You will also need to upgrade the hard drive to a faster 7200RPM model instead of the standard 5400RPM model that comes with all MBPs. The Sibelius website recommends the 7200RPM or a SSD. You will also be better off installing 8GBs of RAM.
    Both of those upgrades can be made after you buy a MBP for much less then Apple charges for the same upgrades and you get to keep the original RAM and hard drive.

  • Can I capture video through a mini display port on a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro?

    I want to run my xbox through a mini displayport adapter into my Mid 2012 MacBook pro to record gameplay. I understand that at one point the 27" iMac's supoorted this feature to an extent. I'm open to other options for inputs, ie: composite cables from the xbox or even VGA. I own a capture card already I'm just interested to see if there is a way around using it to save space and the mess of extra cables.

  • Why is apple moving away from the optical drive with the new Macbook Pro?

    Now I know that they are still selling the Macbook Pro's with the optical drive, but why abandond the drive in the newest model? CD's, DVD's, and Blue-ray's are still big parts of our lives, why push people to swithch over to digital? I do not want to go out of my way to buy digital copies of my favorite movies, softwares, and games when apple stops selling the incase optical drive, nor do think it's practical to carry around an external drive?
    Now I know this is a harder question to answer, but why does it make the product better? Does this make the product more efficient? Is it more eco friendly? And please, be specific. Thanks.    
              - Pappyprops
         P.S. I am not looking for a new computer, I have a 2011 Macbook Pro and love it!

    Let me take your specific questions in order:
    Why abandond the drive in the newest model?
         There are a couple of reasons - I should note that I do not agree with them, just stating them. They want to pull more WinDoze 'ultrabook' shoppers over to the Mac line. That's a good thing. The impression is that lighter is better for that market so, they had to lose some weight. Also, Apple obviously believes that 'culturally', we will at some point fail to utilize physical mediums. I can tell you that is never going to happen. Not this year, not in ten years, not in 100 years. Now, before some smartass calls me on my inability to time travel, thus, my answer must be wrong, let me point out the obvious, which is that everything physical has a limit. DVDs do not last forever, but once encoded, they are a solid medium and billions exist. Thumb drives sound great in theory but in practice, despite being able to hold more data, they are no more solid than DVDs and it will be a long, long time before DVDs go away in the marketplace. People want to have physical mediums. Look at the iPad - great for reading books, but every survey shows people prefer actual books. Personally, I do not want to have to have 500 TB of space for all my media, nor do I want a company to have the ability to 'pull the plug' on my media - if it's not physically in my hands, they can do that. Same kind of reason there is opposition to the US healthcare bill; do you feel safer with your information in a folder in an office where the only real fear is fire or safer with your sensitve healthcare information on a drive somewhere where a hacker can wreak havoc? We are simply more comfortable with touch-and-feel.
    Why does it make the product better?
        It doesn't. IMHO. Now, the Retina screen is something better (I questioned this when I compared it to the anti-glare version of the prior incarnation, see prior post) but the SSD, while tiny, is technically safer and more solid for data (no moving parts, etc). But the lack of a DVD drive (I felt they should have gone the other way and provided at least an option for an internal BluRay Superdrive) does not, by itself, make it better. It makes it lighter, not better. For people who have one computer in their home for business and home use, an external drive will now be a must; the kids will want to watch their movies on roadtrips, etc. In my case, clients want DVDs, so an external is now a must for me, unfortunately.
    Does this make the product more efficient?
         I can't imagine it does in any way, but I'm not an engineer and, more importantly, I do not have one (yet). However, barring OS issues, loading a DVD vs. loading a movie in iTunes - loading the iTunes movie is faster, but it's obviously not better, since BluRay is much better image quality. Does the speed of the load make it more 'efficient'? That will be argued. I would say it is negligible. It may help airflow not having it in there, it obviously makes it lighter. But that does not automatically equate into more 'efficient'.
    You also asked about eco-friendly and frankly, I think these machines are as eco as you can get and can't really be moreseo. MHO. I cannot imagine not having an optical drive makes it (net) any more eco friendly.

  • I want to retain my itunes 'date added' information when transferring to my new macbook pro

    Hello There
    I think even before I ask this, that I know what the answer will be, so please don't laugh at me, just sympathise..
    I have a lot of music. A lot. So much I need to use the date added to keep it all organised and know where I am. Previously I used a computer from work for everything, but just got a shiny new macbook pro - woo hoo!
    First thing I did was transfer my itunes library. I use a HD so pretty easy, simply hold down the option key whilst starting itunes, select the library on my HD and wallop, off we go. After a few minutes of chugging all my music is there and my playlists. Fantastic I thought, but then hold on - date added says today. This can't be right I say to myself, some of these files were added in 2008...
    Being slightly paranoid about doing this I created a copy of my old itunes library - better safe than sorry. I open the old back up of itune library (an xml file) and sure enough, all the correct dates are there. I open up the new one and it says everything was imported today. Weird. So I try reimporting -doesn't work, overwriting the new xml file with the old info, saving and opening itunes again - no sir. Nothing works. It appears that whilst I can interact with the xml file, itunes uses another file (itunes document) which checks consistency, and won't allow the xml file info to overwrite, simply rehashes to the dates it thinks are right.
    Done a fair bit of research and I think the answer is there is not an answer. Being the wise old owl that apple is, it has decided that users will not want this information if they ever move or buy new computers, so while it will keep your playlists, it won't have this bit of info. My only option has been to create spreadsheets of old list for reference.
    I'm hoping out there someone will tell me that apple have realised this is rubbish and have fixed, or will say fret no longer, here is the magic workaround, but I haven't found anyone who can yet. Does anyone have the answer?
    Until then, I will continue to perform this awkward workaround and stick pins into the apple voodoo doll.
    Cheers
    Mr Sherlock

    weird very weird. today i did this again today after already being unsuccessful earlier. exactly the same thing as i have done before, exactly. didn't try to import. didn't say damaged library, copied everything in including date. have tried it about 10 times no luck. today it just worked.
    how weird is that?
    oh well JG - maybe you mixed a magic potion for me?
    anyway, thank you for all the help.
    to anyone else reading this all i can say is keep trying, you never know. follow the above advice. you may feel exasperated and think you have done it already, but keep trying.
    cheers

  • I moved all my Pages documents from my Macbook Pro to my present Macbook Air and then gave away my Pro.  Now, when I try to view my documents I get the message that the document is too old and I have to save it on Pages 09 first.  How do I do that? i

    I moved all my Pages docs from my Macbook Pro to my new Macbook Air.  Now, when I try to view my docs I am told that they are too old and I must save them in 09 first.  How do I do that?  The version of Pages I am using on the Air is 5.2.2

    No release of Pages v5 can open AppleWorks, Pages '05, Pages '06, Pages '08, or RTF documents. Sometimes, it cannot open its own documents.
    You will need to do one of the following:
    Borrow your MacBook Pro back until you can export all your incompatible documents to MS Word (Which Pages v5 can open)
    Install your iWork '08 DVD on your new Air, and then immediately apply the following Apple Updaters. Again Export to MS document formats.
    Pages v3.0.3
    Numbers v1.0.3
    Keynote v4.0.4
    Purchase iWork '09 DVD, and then immediately update with Apple iWork 9.3 updater.
    Open the document(s) that Pages v5 won't permit
    Save as Pages '09 v4.3 documents, or export as MS Word
    Upload to Zamzar, and convert to MS Word (free for limited volume)
    No sensitive documents
    Email notification within 3 - 4 minutes with MS Word document download link
    After you do either item 2 or 3, run Disk Utility and verify/repair application permissions on your boot drive. Open your converted documents in Pages v5.

  • Moving old Time Capsule from PowerBook G4 to New MacBook Pro?

    So I finally got a new Mac Book Pro and have been using a PowerBook G4 and backing up using TimeCapsule regularly to a 1 TB external Drive. When I started the MacBook Pro and started steping through the setup pages, I plugged in the external drive when asked if I wanted to migrate my old info from Time Capsule to the MacBook Pro. It seems to have found the Time Capsule files, but it still says searching other sources. It has been doing this for about 3 hours now. Does it normally take this long to migrate the info? Is it just hanging? What can I do to force the issue?
    My PowerBook G4 is running 10.5.8 and there are about 5 backups on the external drive for Time Capsule.

    Ok, I feel dumb! Just hadn't choosen the source drive...duh!

  • I need help moving my pictures from my iPhone 5s to my Macbook Pro

    I had my iPhone synced with a hard drive that i just swapped out with a solid state. I lost all of my pictures on my old hard drive, but they are all still on my iPhone. There in a folder labeled "Macbook Photos", but i can not figure out how to transfer those photos onto my new hard drive. All of the photos in my camera roll sync up to iPhoto with no problems, but all my other ones stay on the iPhone. Does anybody know a trick to move these hidden photos onto my Macbook Pro?

    Hey WinstonR22,
    Thanks for the question. I see you came from the most relevant article, so you are definitely on the right track. You'll want to follow the steps in this article for transferring information using iTunes:
    iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109
    Excerpt:
    7. When the restore process is complete, your device will restart. Then it will be ready for use. You should keep your device connected to iTunes to sync data not contained in the backup (such as music, videos, apps, and so on). You can verify and change which data are synced by clicking the syncing tabs in iTunes.
    Note: If you restored from an unencrypted backup, you will need to enter password for your Apple ID, email and other accounts and voicemail again. If you've forgotten your voicemail password, contact your carrier.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
    But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
    Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
    By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
    That would depend on what you are trying to do.
