IMovie 08 transitions length...How do I change the duration of the transit

Believe me, I've tried Edit, set duration, apply to all transitions.. it won't stay at the time that I set it. Can I get some help out there?

I do have the same problems. I want to show some 10 pictures as a movie. Therefore I set the duration of all pictures to 0.4 sec and the transitions between to 0.1 sec. First I observe that not all photos have the same duration (some are 0.36 sec some are 0.5 sec ?!?). When I set the duration of all transitions to 0.1 sec then I get an error "Fell short of minimum" (which is not explained in Help) and the durations of the transitions are between 0.2 and 0.4 sec (regardless whether I choose to ignore ore cancel the request)
Help just says that the duration of the transitions need to be shorter than half the length of the shorter clip which I intend to have.
So to me this is a bug. Maybe you can report it to http://www.apple.com/feedback/imovie.html

    On iMovie 10.0.7 how can I change the duration of all of my photos in the project at once?

    You can set the default duration of stills but you have to do it before you start the project. 
    iMovie is not really suitable for stop motion videos and iMovie 10 is worse than iMovie 9 because the minimum still duration is not really controllable as you have found.   I don't have experience of making such videos but there are 3rd party apps which appear more suited to this, for example http://www.macworld.com/article/1146623/stop_motion_Mac.html
    mentions some of them, though its a bit old and you may be able to find more up to date information.

    What system version are you running and what version of iApps do you currently have?

    What versions did you have? Did you purchase the iApps with your Apple ID as some previous time?
    Go into the System/iCloud preference pane and sign out.  Then sign back in with your Apple ID.  Also sign in to the App Store with your Apple ID. If you have purchased those apps previously you'll be able to download them for free from the Purchases section.

    how can i change the length of a narration ?

    hotts77
    Thanks for the reply.
    Still not sure what version of Premiere Elements that you are using. But, the following should apply nonetheless
    What you describe is what I have described in my blog post and for which I have discussed all aspects of the issue. There
    is no workaround to force the program to give you more than you are getting now without other clips also on the track(s). The
    blog post just about says it all.
    You might have to weigh the pros and cons of
    a. Recording your narrations as .wav files in a free audio editor such as Audacity
    Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
    and then importing those into your Premiere Elements project with Premiere Elements' Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag the narration to the Narration Track.
    b. Put any video clips on the Timeline when you are recording your Premiere Elements narrations with its Narration Tool. Then remove these video clips and replace them with the real thing when you are ready to put narration and clips into the project.
    Please let me know if you are OK with the details.
    Thank you.

  • How do I change the length of multiple photo's after I've added them?

    How do I change the length of multiple photo's after I've added them?

    Hey,
    The best way to do this is to select all the clips by holding down the shift key or command key if the clips you want to change are not all right next to each other and then selecting each clip that you want to change. Then double-click on the clips which will open up the inspector tab and then you can change the duration. If you want to just change all clips to the same duration just double-click on one of the photos and in the inspector tab next to the durationt tab you will see a box that says "add duration to all clips". If you click that, when you change the duration all the photos will change to that duration. That will then change the duration of all the clips at the same time.

  • How do I change the length of an audio file?

    How do I change the length of an audio file without changing the actual recording?
    I want to aligne start and end points to the rest of my project.

    Well, yes and no. I have tried the Bounce track in place function, but it did not do what I was after. However, today I got an idea that solved the problem. I copied the region I had punched in several times. Then I used the Bounce track in place function. This made a track that was just as long as all the other tracks. Finally I silenced the audio "clips" that I had used to make the region longer. I have now 24 tracks to transfer to the Alesis HD 24 that starts, and ends, at the exact same point. This will suit the Alesis software just fine, I think.
    Thanks for the tips.

  • How do it change the color of the background in a still photo in a imovie picture slide show

    how do it change the color of the background in a still photo in a imovie picture slide show

    LOL - I had the same problem.  Hidden in plain sight!  All I saw was Numeric, and thought "Duh! Of course it's numeric - it's a slider!"
    I do think NI could do a much better job on this, perhaps with more informative labelling.  Slider Scaling or Scale Format might be better.  Also, since one can select the Digital Display by itself on the front panel, one should be taken directly to the digital display formatting when Properties is selected, instead of still having to change the dropdown. By selecting the digital display instaead of the slider, you're implying that you want to change its format only.

  • How can I change the duration for all clips in iMovie 10.2

    How can I change the duration for all clips in iMovie 10.2?  I'm used to working in the older version of iMovie where all I had to do was click on the gear on the clip and change the duration. ALso could use the tool bar to set the duration for all clips. Can't figure out how to do that in this new version. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    In the timeline select the clip whose duration you want to change. Click the adjust button at the top of the viewer and then click the i button and you can set the duration. For multiple clips select them all and in the i button type in the duration you want and it will be applied to all the selected clips. You can also change the duration of a clip in the timeline by putting the cursor over the beginning or end of a clip and dragging. A popup will show the new duration.

  • How do I change the image used on an movie project icon? iMovie seems to select an image at random from the images I imported.

    How do I change the image used on an movie project icon?
    iMovie seems to select an image at random from the images I imported.

    Not sure I understand how to use what you have posted. Here's what my init() looks like:
    public void init()
    setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    p=new Panel();
    p.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,1));
    callnowButtonURL = getURL(callnowButtonFilename);
    if (callnowButtonURL != null)
    callIcon = new ImageIcon(callnowButtonURL,"call");
    endcallButtonURL = getURL(endcallButtonFilename);
    if (endcallButtonURL != null)
    endIcon = new ImageIcon(endcallButtonURL);
    b=new JButton(callIcon);
    b.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(0,0,0,0));
    b.setBorderPainted(false);
    b.addActionListener(this);
    p.add(b);
    add(p,"Center");
    Now the ActionListener is basically:
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    if (mybool == false)
    <Perform actions here set mybool to true>
    Change JButton b to use EndIcon
    else
    <Perform actions here set mybool to false>
    Change JButton b to use CallIcon
    Can you clarify how to perform the action I require? You can have a couple of Dukes if you can help me sort this out.

  • How do I change the default transition?

    the default transition in fc express hd is a 1-second cross dissolve. how do i change the default transition to a 5-frame cross dissolve so that every time i hit command-T the 5-frame cross dissolve will be applied?
    thanks for the help.

    thanks. i did just that and it works, however i was hoping to make life a keystroke or two easier so i wouldn't have to always mouse up and drag the favorite down to the timeline. i wish i could just command-T and make it happen.
    thanks for your help.

  • IMovie 13 how do I change the speed of the Far Far Away title scrolling?

    How do I change the scrolling speed of the Far Far Away wording?
    Thanks in advance!!

    Thanks. I did try this and it slowed the scroll down. There is still a residual problem which is there is a certain amount of blank screen at the end. I thought slowing the scroll would fill this dead spot. By lengthening the duration of the title, the scroll is now slower, but the black screen has also lengthened.The current dead time is now the final 6 seconds of a 25 second title. Any help on cutting out the dead scrren time. If this were a straight video clip I would simply trim it away. Any way to get the scrolling text to fill more than 80% of the title duration?

  • FAQ: Revel Transition basics: How does this affect the way I use my Adobe software?

    Q: How will this change the way I use my Elements software?
    A: Once you have migrated your files from Photoshop.com to Revel, it will be no longer be possible to sync your photo and video files between your Photoshop Elements Organizer and Photoshop.com.
    If you're using Photoshop Elements 11, you can share your JPEGs from the Elements Organizer to AdobeRevel.com.
    If you’re using Photoshop Elements 10 or earlier version, you won’t be able to directly import from Revel or export to Revel.
    Q: How will this change the way I use Photoshop.com?
    A: Photoshop.com accounts will be remain accessible until the end of the transition period CLICK HERE to see dates and details, but once we begin moving your photos to Revel you will no longer be able to upload photos to your Photoshop.com account.
    After the transition period CLICK HERE to see dates and details, all Photoshop.com accounts will be closed. The Photoshop.com website will remain live and continue to offer product information, trial software downloads, photo editing functionality, customer spotlights, tutorials, and other resources.

    The suggested advice in this support article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1478 wasn't a help at all, because the option "enable disc use" in the summary window of itunes doesn't appear.
    *From the article*:
    Products Affected
    iTunes 7 for Mac, iTunes 7 for Windows, iPod nano, iPod shuffle, iPod mini, iPod, iTunes 8 for >Windows, iTunes 8 for Mac
    No mention of the Touch, it works differently from other iPods and has no "disk mode" as such.
    I think it can be used as a storage device by using a 3rd party App, search the the App Store for such items.
    Photos transferred to your Touch via iTunes will be of severely compromised quality i.e 640x480 pixel resolution and file size around 600-700 kb. These can be retrieved, again using a 3rd party application on your computer, such as [Touch Copy|http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy> but you will not get back original quality images.
    Good luck,

  • How do I change the apple id on the copy of Lion that shipped with my Macbook Pro?

    I've inherited a Macbook Pro that shipped with Lion installed. The app store is showing three updates for iPhoto, GarageBand, and iMovie. When I try to update them it request the password for the Apple ID for the person who set up the Macbook. These apps came with Lion which came with the Macbook. I could reload the OS but that would wipe out my configuration. How can I change the Apple ID to reflect me as the new owner so I can update the apps included with Lion? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    If you know the seller, then maybe it can be done; according to the licensing agreement, if you sell/gift a Mac which came with Lion preinstalled, you are allowed to make a one time transfer of your software license. That would involve a call to Apple (I've not had to do this, but I've read that you need to call Apple and explain that you wish to transfer the Lion license from xxxxx to xxxxxx - don't know if it involves name/address or any other info). So, if your seller is willing to do this, and Apple re-registers the MBP in your name, you shouldn't have to do anything. You may want to check into this because it also may play a role when there is an OS update - not sure that you'll be able to get that with your different Apple ID.
