IMovie - how to re-analyze clip

I'm republishing some videos that I created a couple years back. I noticed, though, that the stabilization that I applied before (which did a very good job) is now terrible. It looks even like it has more shake than before. Is there any way to "re-analyze" the clip? I've tried creating a new project and dragging in the video from the events, but it's still using the same analysis (in fact, "Analyze Clip" is grayed out).
Any way to remove redo the analysis?
Thanks,
Tony

This worked perfectly, thanks! After doing what you suggested, I went back into iMovie and double clicked the clip, unchecked the stabilization box, and then clicked it again and it re-analyzed it.
I wonder what happened to the stabilization to begin with? The projects/events are two years old. I may have moved them to my new computer...don't remember. It is a bit worrisome that the application somehow "forgot" the stabilization (it actual keeps the original zoom but the stabilization is gone).

  • IMovie-how do I rotate clips of photos imported from iPhoto (verions of iMovie is 5.0.2)

    I imported photos from iPhoto to iMovie.  The photos had the correct orientation (rotation) in iPhoto but in iMovie they have all gone back to their original sideways position.  Is there a way to rotate the clips in iMovie, version 5.0.2?  I've spent hours on this so really don't want to start over.... please help!!

    If you don't get an answer here, you may want to post the question in the iMovie discussion here.

  • How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when opening the program to digitize new clips for new project. i have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what to disable.

    How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when first opening the program to digitize new clips for a new project. It takes forever for it and is very annoying. I have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what would disable this problem.

    You do not need to move your cursor much when pressing the mouse button to cause the tab to tear-off/tear-away into a new tab. No "sensitivity" setting that I am aware of. The tab in the new window can be dragged back to the original window.
    To disable the feature, install this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t/

  • How do I move clips in one pane of iMove (10.0.3) into the timeline?  iMovie somehow doesn't realize I'm trying to edit the clips.

    How do I move clips in one pane of iMove (10.0.3) into the timeline?  iMovie somehow doesn't realize I'm trying to edit the clips.

    Try this:
    Select a small portion of the clip in the event (Above the timeline)
    Click and hold and drag that section into the timeline, it should snap into place but if you drag it above another clip, it will not replace it but will be placed on top and the sound from the other clip will still play. Also this will allow you to use Blue/Green screen modes as well as picture in picture.
    The best way is to drag it to the far right

  • How do you convert .AVI files for using in iMovie without losing the original clip time and date

    Hi everyone! does anyone know how to convert .AVI files for using in iMovie without losing the original clip time and date? Handbrake, MPEG Streamclip and Evon all replace the original timecode with the date of modification. This is very frustrating when you are trying to keep the chronology right. I know that if you upload the files to iMovie from one device the chronology isn't a problem, but I'm adding video files from a couple of iPhones and a couple of camcorders. any help much appeciated.

  • How to change the clip's duration under imovie 10.0.3?

    How to change the clip's duration under imovie 10.0.3?

    This is a new feature introduced in 10.0.3 which works fine for me.  The old way was to select Modify - Fast Forward.  You can only select certain speed ratios but a slider should appear near the top of the clip which allows finer speed adjustment.  have you tried this?

    Is it possible that you have moved or renamed any of your Event clips through the Finder? If so, iMovie will not be able to find them. The solution is to move them back and change the name back to the original name.
    Also, if the clips are on an external drive, make sure that drive is attached.

  • In iMovie 11 small gaps in clips seem to transition nicely, but how do I reduce or eliminate the larger gaps? I can't find a way to move the clips together.

    In iMovie 11 small gaps in clips seem to transition nicely, but how do I reduce or eliminate the larger gaps? I can't find a way to move the clips together.

    I'm intrigued by this!
    Can you explain further what the gaps look like when you export the movie. Are there black spaces, for example? You mentioned earlier that "it jumps quickly between clips that I edited which gives it a jerky appearance at those transitions". So you are possibly just seeing a change in sudden movement when moving from one clip to another.
    I've noticed when shooting with my AVCHD camcorder that if I quickly move the camera straight after pressing the record button to stop recording, a jerky movement appears when played back. This is because the camera is still recording for a fraction of a second after pressing the button, that is, there is a slight delay before actual recording stops on the hard drive (unlike a tape based camera).
    I simply edit out these annoying movements. When hovering the pointer over the beginning or end of a clip, a small icon appears, shaped like a left/right arrow. Click on the icon and a small section of the clip end (or beginning if editing the start point) will be partly encased in an orange border. You can then drag the border's handle inwards in increments of one frame, up to one second duration. Repeat this if you wish to trim more than one second. I find this better for short trimming than just dragging the clip ends inwards and using Trim to Selection from the pop-up menu, as it is quicker and has more precision. To enable this feature, in iMovie > Preferences - Browser tab, check the box labelled "Show Fine Tuning controls".
    Of course, this may not be what you are seeing. But I can't really envisage what you mean by "how do I reduce or eliminate the larger gaps", as there should be no gaps, as explained by AppleMan1958. Could you please provide some more information, or include a screenshot of what you are describing.
    To take a screenshot, press the key combination Command+Shift+4 - a crosshair will appear on screen. Drag this diagonally across the section you want to capture. A .png image file will appear on the Desktop. When posting here you will see a camera icon in the reply window's menu bar. Click on the camera icon then follow the steps provided (it lets you navigate to the image). Sorry if you already know this!

    '''''"... I have about 20 bookmark folders and about 100 bookmarks altogether. " '''''
    Firefox doesn't store bookmarks like that, sound like a Windows / IE favorites scheme used for '''''url''''' files and folders which isn't directly compatible with the way Firefox does things. Firefox uses a '''json''' file for bookmark backups, a '''bookmarks.html''' for import and export is bookmarks, and stores the users bookmarks in the '''places.sqlite''' file, along with browsing history.
    Put those folders and bookmarks in the '''\user\Favorites\''' folder so they are in IE and export your IE Favorites in HTML format, so you can import them into Firefox.
    In IE:
    File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file
    ''then in Firefox:'' <br />

  • How to import a clip from another Imovie movie ?

    Well I found where those clips were trashed too. Its not the iMovie trash can as indicated by the help text! Its the user trash can. Here is how I found my clips in case this is useful for anyone else.

    To see the total space taken up by these files I did:
    find . -name '*.dv' -exec ls -l {} \; | grep Trash | awk 'BEGIN { space = 0}; { space += $5}; END { print "total space",space}'
    total space 1794600000
    So I just have to empty the main trash in order to recover from my first copy/paste effort to move clips from one project to another. BTW is there a way to copy them to the clips pane and not the timeline?

    Where was the file? Was it in one of the iMovie folders or in another folder on your hard drive? From Finder, can you open the file in QuickTime? If so, open the QuickTime Inspector (Window>Show Movie Inspector). What is shown against Format in the Inspector panel?
    You mentioned earlier that you had deleted iMovie's Cache folder (at least I think that is what you meant). I'm not sure how many Events you have, but in Finder try selecting each Event in turn then delete both the iMovie Movie Cache folder and the iMovie Thumbnails folder. When opened, iMovie will regenerate these folders and all the thumbnails. Delete these folders from one Event at a time and try starting iMovie after each deletion. Hopefully, the problem can be narrowed down to one Event.
    Leave all the video clips in the Events folders at this stage. I suspect that it's one of the thumbnails in a single Event causing the problem.
