I want to SPLIT A CLIP. That's all. Make one piece into two.

I am looking for the equivalent of the 'Command-T' function in iMovie HD. This is one of the most commonly used actions in processing video, and apparently it doesn't exist. The 'Split Clip' command in iMovie 09 simply does not work for me. At all. EVER. I have yet to find an instance where it isn't grayed out. All I want to do is split a clip, and add a transition between the two.
While I'm on my soap box, the revisions of iMovie since V.6 are without a doubt the most counter-intuitive, joy-sucking applications ever produced by Apple. iMovie made it FUN to edit video; these last two versions make it frustrating and cumbersome.
To reiterate, I want to SPLIT A CLIP INTO TWO PIECES. If anyone here can provide instructions for doing so (as opposed to explaining why it is NOT possible), then kindly do so. Thank you.

Trey, I seriously feel your pain. I'm editing a wedding project in IM '09 and it is literally taking me twice as long to complete the project than it would have in HD. You should be able to make splits in the event browsers, but that's too much like common sense for Apple. They completely mucked up the editing process by doing away with iMovie HD, which by the way is not working well in Snow Leopard.
As for split, I suggest the same thing as above. Put the playhead where you want the split. Us shortcut key, ShiftCommandS. I had problems with it this morning, but it finally kicked in.
I also had a problem when trying delete a selection of a clip. When I clicked delete, it deleted the selection plus the extracted audio of the entire clip from which I took the selection. Not sure what caused that.
I have FCE installed, so maybe I’ll haul it out and try using it for my next project. IM '09 is a pain. I'm not even sure how it's more accessible to general users.

Editing a movie that was already cut together without transcoding .h264 footage to proresslt. I want to transcode full clips that are used in the edit, but not any of the leftovers.

Editing a movie that was already cut together without transcoding .h264 footage to proresslt. I want to transcode full clips that are used in the edit, but not any of the leftovers. Is there an efficient way to this?
I'm thinking I can convert the files with Compressor and place them in a new folder with their original file names (not sure how to get compressor to do this yet) and then do a major "Reconnect Clip" afterwards.
Not sure if there's a more efficient way to get all the clips in the timeline to compressor. I want the full files, not a sequence export. I can go through one clip and a time and add the master file. I'd rather not.
The more automated processes the better.
Thank you. I'm currently working so I don't have the time to scour the forums. Help or links to help would be greatly appreciated.

yeah Media reconnect can be an issue.
Will Media Manager convert files? Another thing I was thinking was to Media Manage the sequence out, copying all the used files to a new folder, and then running that through compressor. But it still leads to a massive reconnect. Fine tuning all those edits would be less involved than re-editing the whole thing, I hope.

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.

ICal splits one event into two, how do I fix this?

I have one weekly repeating event entered. For the first two weeks it shows up like normal, as one event. But two weeks later it splits that one event into two different side-by-side bubbles. I did not alter the event. Does any one else have this problem? How can I fix this?

That is because you are sharing an Apple ID.
On both phones go to:
Settings > Facetime > turn off iPhone Cellular Calls
I would also suggest you check here to make sure your husbands number is not checked on your phone or yours on his:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive
Settings > Facetime
Otherwise you will get each others Messages and FaceTime calls.
I recommend that you each get your own Apple IDs if for nothing else than iCloud, iMessage & FaceTime.

Music app splitting one podcast into two - why?

I have a 4th gen iPod Touch running iOS 6.1.6 - newest available. I listen to podcasts through the standard Music app. For some reason I have one podcast that shows up as two on that app - even though they have the same name. AND in iTunes on my Mac it is a SINGLE podcast that contains all of the episodes - including the six that are split out on the iPod. No change in the stream location; no change in the podcast name; nothing different between the meta fields when you do "get info" on the podcasts. In that separate podcast on the iPod, there are 6 podcasts (un-played) from 2012. Everything in the "main" podcast that is un-played is 2013 or newer.
I done a lot of googling and can find nothing on split podcasts other than when the actual podcast changed its name or the stream location. This is not the case here.
Any ideas???

This thread helps you, at least Brian's answer:

At least this was the resolution for me.

How to split one monitor into two, differently configured desktops

Hello,
I have a 27" iMac. I would like to split the screen into two differently configured desktops or monitors. Apps like TwoUp or Divy don't exactly do this. I'll explain it with an example:
Suppose I'm working on a document and I need to open many folders to retrieve files. One common problem is that opened folders overlap each other and sometimes they overlap with the document I'm working on, or they go underneath the document. I would like to split the screen vertically in, say, two virtual, independent desktops/monitors, like this:
- one window/space on one side (say, on the left) of the screen would contain the document from top to bottom, with no dock bar on the bottom
- the other window/space (right) would behave as a regular, full desktop, with the entire dock on the bottom
In this way, if I need to navigate to find a file to use in the document, I would move the cursor to the right. The Finder would work only in this window/space, thus windows or other applications would never overlap or clutter the left side of the screen. Drag-and-drop from right to left should be possible.
One way to imagine it is as if the 16x9 monitor were comprised by two vertical, 8x9 independent monitors side by side, each with its own configuration.
Is this possible? Can anyone recommend an application or type of setup?
Thank you,
-celso

Looking for something like this?
You can tell Display Maid to save the positions of your open windows across many apps and later restore those positions when things become a mess. With Display Maid you don’t have to restore windows one at a time, or even one app at a time. Display Maid restores all saved window positions across all apps with one command. It will also restore window positions automatically when it detects a workspace change.

How can I organize video clips that are all over the place???

I have clip everywhere. It is horrible. I can't even tell what I have. iMovie can't access video not in the "library" which is iPhoto but iPhoto won't accept my earlier video... ie quicktime.mov. What in the world can I do to get ALL my video clips in one place sorted by year, viewable and accessible to iMovie?
HELP!

Thanks for your help, Terence.
Before I begin I am somewhat daunted by the contents of my Pictures folder, which contains, among other items, a number of folders named 2002 to 2006 and folders called Modified, Originals and Data which also contain year-named folders.
I think I can guess the nature of Originals and Modified but is there a quick way of spotting any duplication before bundling folders or files into a custom folder?
And at the end of the exercise, is there a way of preserving the chronological order of folders/photos as currently viewed in the iPhoto browser?

Splitting one site into two

I have one large site which has two distinct sections. Each section has multiple pages. I have two domain names.
I would like to split the site by removing one of the sections and making a new site with these pages.
I imagine it is not difficult, but could not locate this in a search.
Thank you.
asuch

asuch:
It's very easy to do. Create a new site and drag the pages from site 1 to site 2. Somewhat the opposite as shown here.

Splitting one message into two files

Hi all,
I have a case where I have to generate two files for a single incoming message.The scenario is as follows-
I have the following structure as target -
- Structure 1 with some fields in it
- Structure 2 with some fields in it
I have done the mapping of the target with the source.
Now what I require is a separate file for structure 1 and another file for structure 2
Thanks,
Sandeep

You need to use BPM for this.
First create a message mapping with one source and two targets.
To add more message types to a mess map, go to the Messages tab (there are 3 tabs: Design, Test, Messages ).
Then you need one transformation and two send steps in the BPM.

How do you split video clips?

I want to split video clips so that they can begin when I want them to and end when I want as well. I'm new to the software and I don't really know how to do some things.

There's a lot of good info in your manuals. Always a good place to start. I'd also reccomend Tom Wolsky's (he's a regular contributor here) books.
Having said that, basically, take your clip and put it in the Viewer. In the Viewer, shuttle around till you find the piece you want .. set an In point where the shot should begin, set an End point where you want it to end. Now grab that shot in the Viewer and drag it over to the right; some little submenus will pop up, choose Overwrite and that puts it into the Timeline. You can also use F10 to overwrite the short to the Timeline.

How do I split a clip?

Today I downloaded the Final Cut X free trial and so far I like it! What I loved was the old iMovie and I've found almost everything I remember from the old iMovie. I haven't found "Split Clip At Playhead." Let's say I have a 45-minute video clip of five people making speeches. I want to split the clip into five clips, one for each speaker. With the old iMovie I moved the playhead in between the first and second speakers and split the clip, moved the playhead between the second and third speakers and split that clip, etc. Then I just set the in and out points for each clip, move the five clips into the timeline, add transitions and titles, and I'm done. How do I do this in Final Cut Pro X?
What I'd really like would be a document called "Final Cut Pro X for iMovie 1-6 Fans." Maybe I'll write it. :-)

Is this because iMovie was a destructive editor, and Final Cut Pro X is non-destructive? So you do your edting in the timeline, not in the browser window? I guess that makes sense.

How to build a custom movie clip that will be used as a cell renderer for column in a grid ?

i want to build a datagrid that shows a picture and underneath it a name.
the problem is i dont want to see all of the pictures, but all the pictures that have certain requirements, so i cant just make one movie clip that includes all the pictures and names.
so my question is how do i build a movie clip that contains photo and text?.

You do not create movieclips on the timeline using code, though you can create them and add them as children of something that has been manually placed in the timeline.
To create a MovieClip using code you use:
    var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
If you need to add an image, then however you intend to acquire the image, after it has been acquired, you add it to the MovieClip using:
    mc.addChild(img);
where img is the instance of whatever form of object the image takes (Bitmap, Loader)
If you need to add a TextField to the MovieClip then you use:
    var tf:TextField = new TextField();
    mc.addChild(tf);
and you can set up properties for the textfield such as the font and color and position as well after it has been instantiated (the first line).

I can't split a clip in Imovie '11

I've read the other discussions, but nothing works. When I take the play head to the spot I want to split and command-shift-S it makes the apple error bonk noise. when I control-click (for right click) the pop up menu doesn't have the split clip option. see my screen shot. I'm stumped.

It looks as though you are trying to split a clip in the Event.
Pretty sure the clip has to be in a Project for it to have the SPLIT CLIP option.
