I would like to add an arrow to my iMovie project to highlight a basketball player, is this possible?

I am making a basketball highlight tape for my son and am wondering if you can add an arrow to a video clip in iMovie?  I have downloaded a number of clips from different games into the project library, have inserted transition titles, and I now want to highlight which player is my son in the series of clips.

... hm, hard to tell ...
as mentioned on my site, this a workaround, officially not supported.
(stumbled into that 'option' when noticing that the transparency of .png isn't changed)
• you can apply only one arrow = pic-in-pic per clip.
• on preview, iM often doesn't catch the trick, but on final export, it should work. without 'pause'.
• you mentioned 'tape' - your source is miniDV? I tested that only with HDef material, .dv is internally handled different ... .maybe ... maybe this reasons the issues.
sorry, EM, of being of no better help - my last iM project is more than a year ago, after using iMovie for about 10y I made the plunge to the Big Boy's Toy FCPX and Motion5 ... I can there apply as much arrows, circles and highilghts, even 'taped' to movin' objects, as I like (=me soccer-Dad) ....

  • I would like to add a new card date field to my address Book Contacts. Is this possible? Thanks, Jeff

    Hi,
    I would like to add a new card date field to my Address Book Contacts. Is there any way to do this? I have a lot of contacts and it helps me remember who I talked to, if I had a new card date field in my contacts.
    Thank you,
    Jeff

    Hi,
    I found the applescript below from Michael Bach that works well.
    (* Find recently modified entries in the Address Book
    Input: a time interval (backwards from today) in the variable "daysBeforeToday"
    Output: a string on the clipboard, format: YYYY-MM-DD (tab) Name (return)
    ©2009, Michael Bach, <www.michaelbach.de> *)
    set daysBeforeToday to 7 -- <<<  change as desired or read from a dialog
    tell application "Address Book"
      copy (current date) - daysBeforeToday * 24 * minutes * 60 to referenceDate
      copy (every person whose (modification date > referenceDate)) to modifiedPersons
      set s to ""
      repeat with aPerson in modifiedPersons
        set d to ((modification date) of aPerson) -- now change to international format and forget the hours
        set dateString to (year of d as string) & "-" & (my twoDigits((month of d) as number)) & "-" & (my twoDigits(day of d) as string)
        set s to s & dateString & tab & (name of aPerson) & return
      end repeat
      set the clipboard to s --for pasting into other applications
      s -- to view immediately in the script editor
    end tell
    on twoDigits(aNumber) -- trivial utility for formatting
      if aNumber < 10 then return "0" & (aNumber as string)
      return (aNumber as string)
    end twoDigits
    I changed the modification date to creation date.
    Thanks for the replies.

  • I would like to be able to read my books on a non-Apple computer.  Is this possible?

    I would like to be able to read my iBooks on a non-Apple computer.  Is this possible?

    You cannnot read an ibook on any computer, even an Apple computer.
    Ibooks are only for ipod touch, ipad, and iphone.
    When MAverick OS is released then you will be able to read on a Mac, but not a PC.

  • I would like to add my Deskjet F4480 printer to my home wireless network. How can this done?

    I have a Linksys wireless router that is the hub of my home wireless network.  I have been successful in adding a HP OfficeJet 6500 All-in-one Printer an old HP DeskJet 890C that I purchased in 1997 with a computer running Windows 95.  The HP 890C has been my tireless workhorse throughout my two kids K-12 school as well as printing reams of paper during my MBA...and guess what: it still works.  However, my daughter has just returned home from college and she has a HP DeskJet F4480 printer/scanner that she would like to add it to the home network.  I have been researching the problem, but haven't been successful in finding out if this printer is compatible to add to a wireless network.  Or simply, will a 802.11g Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter suffice?  I am also adding a new Windows 7 laptop in the network, that will need to print to this F4480.  I patiently await the forum's response.

    My mistake, it seems that price was a deciding factor when I purchased the F4480 in lieu of a more expensive wireless ready printer-scanner.  I will eventually come-up with a solution as I did with the 890C where I have a wireless print server connected directly to the printer serial connection.  It seems that backward compatible is still evident, but I am having some problems coming up with the long-lasting HP49 and HP23 tri-color ink packs. 
    Here is the rub; I don't replace technology because it is out-dated. I upgrade and or repair everything myself. I found warranties not worth the paper their written on and in most cases, the technical support was lacking.  My Win95 desktop went thru several major components until I found that it was becoming harder to find software to run with it.  I finally replaced it in 2007.  Now it seems that there has been a paradigm shift toward utilities that are very hungry for memory, and even if I didn't want to, I am forced to come over to the dark side with a device that has a minimum of 8GB of RAM. 

  • I have 2 emails accounts and would like to be able to have them both open at the same time. Is this possible?

    No.

  • I would like to change users associated with my imovie project

    I'm thinking this is simple but I can't figure out how to do it (I'n new to Macs). I downloaded a movie from my camera and worked on a couple projects before realizing that I was logged in under my sons account. When I log into my account I can't find the movie or the projects. How do I transition the stuff over?

    It is simple if you have an external drive. Do you?

  • Have a 3350 and would like to add it to my network. Do I need to make IOS changes?

    In my home network I have a number of netgear gigabit unmanaged switches.  My Firewall/Router acts as DHCP and DNS.
    I would like to add a Cisco 3550 to segment the network and put all of my Tivo IPTV equipment on for fastest throughput. Not Vlan, just a physical where all the Tivo traffic from the DVR to all of the streaming devices will be on this switch and will not need to traverse the other network switches
    As a test I plugged the 3550 into the network and then threw a workstation into the switch as well.  I wasn't sure if the switch would do auto x over but it did and it appeard to work.  I was able to get to the internet from the PC connected to the switch.  When I tried to access my NAS from the computer it did not work.
    I'm wondeing if I have to make any configuration changes to the switch in order to do what I'd like?  Since everythig I use is unmanaged I don't have a lot of experienece with managed devices and it's been years and years since I've done any IOS (is it even still called that?) configuration.
    I'm sure there are firmware updates for this switch it's been in a box for many years.  Can I obtain firmware for this switch without any sort of subscription?  If so, can you point me in the right direction.
    Also, how do I get into this switch once it's on my network?  Is there a web interface?  SSH? or do I have to use the console port?  It doesn't show up on my network as an IP address like some of my other gear does.
    Would this work plug and play?
    Thanks,
    Roveer

    I don't think iTunes can do that.  Your best source for finding out how is to search on Facebook. It will probably involve some sort of formatting for audio files you upload.
    I presume when you say "my music" you really mean it is your music -- you singing and playing the guitar or something.  Web sites are getting very wary of posting of copyright media.

  • I would like to add a new Canon camera profile to the RAW interface

    Hi,  I would like to add a new Canon camera profile to the RAW interface.
    I have recently installed the new camera profile 'Studio Portrait' which i download from here:
    http://www.canon.co.jp/imaging/picturestyle/file/studio-portrait.html
    When I open up a RAW files in Camera RAW, go to 'Camera Calibration', click on the drop down list called
    'Camera Profile'  I only see  'Adobe Standard, Faithful etc etc'.
    My questions are, can i add the same camera profile i put in my camera, into a folder with in photoshop?
    Or is photoshop reading the raw file and only seeing the default camera profiles?
    If I could see the new camera profile listed it would help with work flow.
    Best
    JL-B
    Please help, ive not had a good time waiting on the phone and trying to explain this to a live chat, hours have been wasted. Once i know the answer I can get back to the commission.

    Are you following this
    Apply a camera profile
    To apply a camera profile, select it from the Camera Profile pop-up menu in the Camera Calibration tab of the Camera Raw dialog box. The Adobe Standard profile for a camera is named Adobe Standard. Camera Matching profiles include the prefix Camera in the profile name. The Camera Profile pop-up menu displays only profiles for your camera.
    If the only profile in the Camera Profilemenu is Embedded, it means that you have selected a TIFF or JPEG image. Adobe Standard and Camera Matching profiles work only with raw images.
    Note:  If you have selected a raw file and Adobe Standardand Camera Matching profiles do not appear in the Camera Profilepop-up menu, download the latest Camera Raw update. 

  • I would like to add a password to the saved passwords list.

    I would like to add a password to Firefox's saved passwords but I can find no way to manually do this. The site does allow password saving, but Firefox does not prompt me to "Remember, Never Remember or Not Now" when I go to log in. The site is not listed on the "remembered passwords - exceptions" list. I do not know whether I have clicked "Never Remember" on a previous visit. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

    Do you get that prompt on other sites if you try to store a password?
    Did you check that the website isn't using autocomplete=off ?

  • I would like to add to the Safari toolbar on my ipad 5 IOS 6  machine. I have searched the web and find some instructions to do this but the words and pictures do not match what I can see. I am beginning to think this is not a capabilty of the ipad 5

    I would like to add to the Safari toolbar on my ipad 5 IOS 6  machine. I have searched the web and find some instructions to do this but the words and pictures do not match what I can see. I am beginning to think this is not a capabilty of the ipad 5 but perhaps for a Mac computer running Safari. Does anyone know if it is possible to add tools to the toolbar on the latest version of iPad OS & Safari Browser? If so please tell me how. Thanks

    You cannot customize the Safari toolbar on the iPad.
    What you can do on the iPad is go to Settings>Safari>Always show Bookmarks Bar>On and that will add a bookmarks bar on to the Safari browser.

    This data is stored in key3.db and signons.sqlite, but there is no way to manually add a site. (The only way to add sites is to log into the site and use the "Remember password" button that drops down)
