Imovie HD clips are all 10 minutes.  This runs shorter clips together and makes editing difficult.

I am using imovie 6 HD.  The clips used to be of the lenght of the shooting time or if it ran over 9 minutes, it would continue in a new clip.  Now, all clips are 10 minutes regardless of how many shots of varying length there are. Makes editing a bit dicey. Any way to get it back to making clips the same length as the shooting time?

Now I know how you equated donmerlin with Bill... I got so flustered with this problem, I ended up forgetting which Apple ID I posted under. Here is an update to the problem.
I really wanted to stay with QT 7.0.3 because the latest DVD Studio Pro requires it (as does iTunes for video playing). I tried to stay with QT 7 and revert back to iMovie 4, but because the old iMovie 4 project file was converted to iMovie HD (and there's not way to go back), I basically had to recreate the iMovie project from scratch. I started to do this, by first creating a new iMovie 4 project, then copying all of the 100's of media files from the other project into this one. Once I realized the magnitude of work involved, figuring out what's what, and which clips are transitions and effects, I knew this was a bad way to go. And chances are, it would have still been a problem, since most of what I've read has to do with QT 7 being the problem. So I changed directions.
I am fortunate enough to have two G4's, so I left QT 7.0.3 on this one, and decided to downgrade QT on my other G4. First I ran the QT 7.0.1 Reinstaller (had to use Pacifist, since the Apple installer refused to let it run). Then I ran the QT 6.5.2 Reinstaller. After that, I opened up the iMovie HD project, and lo and behold, the freezing and staggering playback issues were gone! Words cannot express the feeling of relief I had. In retrospect, I am still quite disappointed that Apple introduced an upgrade to QT that caused this horrible problem, and appears to have done nothing to resolve it. The good news is that I found my way around the problem via the QT downgrade path, and I'll never upgrade QT on this other G4 again. Thanks to everyone in sharing in my grief and posting suggestions (both in response to my post and others).

  • In iTunes under my device, under the apps tab, Why are all the options shaded out?  I cannot make any changes, select any apps or do anything with the apps.  I was able to load a few apps and sync but cannot sync anymore to my phone.

    Hi,
    ( I search for iChat questions when I have finished in the iChat Forum)
    So the menu bar reads iChat, File,  Edit,  View, Buddies, Video, Window and Help
    There is no Buddy List open.
    There is no other window for iChat open.
    In the iChat Menu you only have access to Status.
    Is an item ticked in the list ?
    Is this a green (Available item) or  Red ( an Away one) ?
    Can you access the Accounts option ?  (Sitll in the iChat Menu)
    Is anything in here ticked ?
    In the Window menu any Logged in account should appear in the list  (Between the Next Chat and File Transfer items)
    It would be useful to know which version of iChat this is.
    If no account is ticked (iChat Menu > Accounts) or not showing in the Window Menu, plus you cannot determine the Status and you cannot access the Preferences then you need to access your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
    As the Library in the Home Holder is Invisible in Lion you will need the Finder's Go Menu > Go to Folder option  (you can use it in earlier OS versions if you want)
    Type in:-
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Find the file called com.apple.ichat.plist
    Drag it to the Trash and Restart iChat.
    This will lose all the settings in iChat that you have changed from Defaults but there is no way around this.

  • Elements 11 - Lenovo T420 - Panasonic Camcorder SDR-H100 - Clips in .MOD - clips are all squashed.- tried changing to .MOV . Please Help

    Lenovo T420 computer - Using Panasonic Camcorder SDR-H100 which produces it's clips in .MOD format(tried changing to MOV - no change)  using Elements 11 frames are all squashed - what am I missing? Please help -I can load the clips into windows movie maker and they work fine.

    The answer to your question depends on which model JVC camcorder you have.
    Here are a few basics:
    1. If you have a JVC HD Everio that records in the AVCHD high definition file format (.mts file extension), and you have an Mac with an Intel processor, (sound like you do) running iMovie '08 or '09, then it should  be no problem. Simply connect the camcorder via USB and launch iMovie.
    2. If you have a slightly older JVC HD Everio that records MPEG2 high definition (.tod file format), then it is easiest if you record in the special 1440CBR mode, and transfer your video to your Mac using an i.Link (Firewire Connection) using the "Playlist Dubbing" process which is explained in your owner's manual.

  • Are all FX card running on 3 voltage levels - 0.8, 1.5, 3.3?

    I am wondering if all FX chipsets run on all 3 voltage levels. That is for example, I have a AGP 4x slot(1.5V only) and a FX 5700, will it run on my machine? Will the card automatically switch to 1.5V because i read it from somewhere that all FX chipsets run all on voltage signals. Also, my mobo only support 1.5V.
    Another question, does performance suffer alot when using a FX card on a AGP 4x slot compared to a AGP 8x slot?
    Thanks for all repiles.

    it will run at agpx4 and 1.5v
    yes its sloweer but only by a small percentage

  • Are all Cron Jobs run by Root?

    OS : Sun OS 5.10
    I have scheduled an RMAN backup script which had only one line like
    rman target .............I logged in as os user oracle and ran this script without any issue. But when i scheduled this job to run, it didn't work.
    I got the error
    /u05/bkp_scripts/rman-level0_WM.sh: rman: not foundThe shell couldn't find rman binary in PATH. Everything worked when i explicitly set ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, PATH in the shell script.
    Does this mean a cron jobs scheduled by OS User oracle will still won't work unless you set set ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, PATH in the shell script?
    Are cron jobs handled by root user regardless of who scheduled it?

    cron does not execute the user's .profile. You must guarantee your environment by setting it inside the script.
    Are cron jobs handled by root user regardless of who scheduled it?NO! root should NEVER be used for Oracle tasks. root should never be used for anything that can be done by another account.

  • On my Mac, in Documents folders A-G have gone missing.  When I try to access the backup in time machine, it won't let me go back at all.  This is a major problem and I have no idea what happened or how to fix it!

    All folders up to "H" have gone missing and for some reason when I go into Time Machine, I'm not able to access any of the backups.  It won't let me select any of the screens behind the current one and when I click on the right hand side on any of the dates listed, nothing happens.  I really need to get this fixed.  Any help????

    I don't know what will help at this point. You should never update a system that has problems, unless you're absolutely sure that the problems are caused by a bug that is fixed in the update. With your backups in an uncertain state, you should not update or do anything else except start a new backup.

  • CC Multicam help- Clips are being rearranged/ replaced with repeated clips

    I have a 35 minute multicam sequence set up, synched by audio. It contains about 12 overlapping video clips from two cameras. I was working on the project but then when I opened it the next day the multicam clips had been rearranged. In a couple of places, clips have been replaced by the first 1/2 clips so that the introduction is randomly repeated.
    The clips which have remained in the correct place in the sequence have been shuffled so that where previously an edit switched to an active slot, now a blank space is recorded while the clip plays in another slot.
    Is there any way to re-shuffle them back into the right places? Otherwise, I don't know whether to bother re-doing the edits in case it does this again, or if I should just give up and edit them the long-winded way on different video tracks.
    Thank you.

    Thanks, this sounds like the same problem. I suppose I'll have to reinstall CS6 until the patch is released

  • Why are all my songs now classified as 'Other' and not visible on my phone any more?

    Here's an idea of what's happened recently;
    Got a new a computer and set up my iTunes library no problem, had access to all the same music I had on my old PC.
    Just added a new album to my iTunes library, which also worked fine, but when I tried to sync it to my iPhone 5 I wasn't able to transfer anything to it.
    I used iTunes to back up my iPhone and do a full restore on the iPhone hoping that would fix the issue.
    Now my 35GBs of Music is classified as 'Other' storage, there's not enough room on the iPhone to transfer all my songs to it again and no way to delete the 'Other' storage to make space for it.
    I have tried unchecking 'Sync only checked songs and videos' and rechecking it. I have also tried unchecking and checking 'Sync Music'. Either way I go the iPhone still has 35GBs of Other storage I can't seem to remove.
    Any help or support?

    I ended up doing a Full Restore on my iPhone without restoring from a previous backup. I'm just curious what I have to do in the future to prevent this issue if I switch PC's again.

  • I took photos and they saved in my camera roll. they were there the next morning. I took more pictures and they are all gone. why did they not save and can i get them back ?

    I took photos on my iPhone on yesterday and they all saved. I looked at my photos the next day and they were still there. I took more photos and now none of the last photos that I took in the last two days are there. Why did they not save? Can I get them back? My storage was not full. I just updated my iPhone to ios 7.1 a few days before.

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • How can my 7yr old have her own iTunes account to sync to her iPod, when our only other home computers are all already linked into other iTunes accounts and other iPods?
