IMovie on iPhone 4: No Ripple Editing?

Just tried iMovie for iPhone 4 last night.
Looks like you cant do a simple ripple edit (cut footage out of the middle of a clip.)
I figured out a work around (making two shortened clips from the original clip, leaving out the unwanted middle section) but wow is that tedious, the way you have to keep scrolling on the original clip.
Anyone else have any solutions other than that?

Here's what I do to cut out the middle section of a video clip:
_ With the Project open, add your video clip twice -- I'll call them Clip1A & Clip1B
_ Trim out the undesired portion from the end of Clip1A
_ Trim out the undesired portion from the beginning of Clip1B
So now you are left with the beginning & end of the same video clip, without the unwanted middle section.
BTW: here is the _iMovie for iPhone_ discussion page:

Cannot Import Video made with iMovie for iPhone/iPod Touch

I edited a video on my iPod touch using Apple's iMovie. The resulting .MOV file that iMovie creates will not import into iPhoto '11. While iMovie recognises the file just fine, iPhoto believes it is an unsupported file type. It's a .MOV for goodness sakes created with Apple's own hardware and program! Very strange. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.

Hey there. In answer to your question, all other clips that appear in my camera roll are easily seen by iPhoto. It is only those movies that I have created with iMovie for iPhone that iPhoto does not recognize. It's really strange, considering the fact that it's just a .MOV file. As a result, I've had to download a program called 'DiskAid' that allows me to transfer the .MOV file directly to my computer from the iPod Touch.
In answer to your question regarding whether or not iMovie for iPhone was worth downloading, I would have to say yes (assuming of course the import-to-iPhoto problem gets fixed). It's not a perfect program. My biggest complaint is that you have to import clips ONE at a time. There's no 'import all' option. This is really time consuming as you have to cycle through all the videos on your iPod or iPhone and manually tap each one and repeat. My dad likes to take a lot of 1-minute videos that then have to get spliced together and that can be really tedious with how this iMovie is currently set up. However, if you regularly think to add your clips to an existing project as you go along, things should be fine. It could do with a few more features and faster rendering times, but on the whole, it's a decent program. I have a feeling, though, that it was designed more for the YouTube generation who want to upload a five-minute video instead of people like my father and I who like to edit an hour or so and then eventually burn to a DVD. iMovie for the Mac still CERTAINLY has it's place.

Imovie for iphone - no picture with video clips

After upgrading my imovie app to fix the export problem, some of the video clips in my movie show only a black screen instead of the video. The video clips were all taken with the iphone and all played well within imovie before I upgraded the app and still play fine outside of imovie.
I have tried deleting the project and starting over and I tried removing the app and resinstalling, but niether of these resolved the problem. Has anyone else encountered these problems?
Update - the problem seems to occur only if I try to shorten a video within imovie. Since I have begun editing the videos before importing to imovie the problem hasn't happened yet.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply. The movie starts with a 3 second video followed by several pictures then another 3 second video followed by the video I shortened 11 seconds to 7 seconds within imovie. When one video goes black, they all seem to go black.
But to your second question, I checked the adjacent transitions and all were set to cross disolve 1 second. When I changed the transition on the back-side of the first video to none, the picture within the video came back.
So I changed all of the video transitions to none and they all came back. Of course after doing this I had to play around a little bit and oddly enough so far the picture has stayed even when I switch the transition back to cross disolve 1 second.
So at this point I haven't been able to re-create the problem but if it does happen again I'm happy that I now have a way to get the picture to come back.
Thanks again!

FCP 7.0.3 ripple edit in timeline not working

FCP 7.0.3, AVCHD/proRes 422 LT, ripple edit in timeline not working. Using the ripple tool, I click on the edit point, drag the cursor to the clip and direction I want to trim but it doesn't work. pop-up says collision on V-1. Same thing when I double-click the clip to player and try to move the edit point on the scrub bar. This was functional in prior sessions. What's happening? Thx in advance.

I'm only using one (V1) track. Prior to this problem I was unable to insert edit. That problem mysteriously vanished after an unsuccessful phone support session w/ Apple failed to solve. Also when I try to insert w/transition (default cross-dissolve) the transition is applied to the opposite edit point,ie: out point of insert clip has transition instead of in point where it was applied. When I try to add transition to edit point (CMD-T) it doesn't work.
I'm slowly working around the ripple edit malfunction by using the razor tool and ripple delete (shift-delete) to trim in the timeline.

Adding a title to a still image in iMovie for iPhone 4

I would like to add a title for a still image using iMovie for iPhone 4. Is this possible? I can't see an option for this and it seems simple enough. I can add titles on video clips, but not on still images. Any suggestions?

Thanks Joe, hopefully Apple adds this feature to iMovie soon.

Multicam Editing Using a Ripple edit

I am new to FCP. I have a 2 camera shoot of a wedding ceremony. I have my camera angles on the timeline. I have decided that in one instance that neither camera angle provided an acceptable shot so I want to shorten the sequence. How do I do a ripple edit and keep everything in sync?

Absolutely correct. You do not need to blade anything. If the autoselect buttons are enabled for these tracks and NOTHING IS SELECTED IN THE TIMELINE, do as you described, mark an in and out and hit shift-delete.
To confirm that you have everything setup correctly before you hit shift-delete, hit option-a and you will select the area between the ins and outs in whatever tracks have the autoselect button inabled.
This is not to say that creativestuff's method will not work. It does work, but there are many ways to skin the proverbial cat.

On the iPhone 5s, performing any edit on a black and white photo will render a strong purple tone. This occurs in any app under the current iOS. Sadly, every photo must then be re-edited to restore the original black and white.

Hi everyone, I'm the one from the example above posted by @frankensinatra and I can confirm having the same problem.
But I want to add something. The problem is not only related to black and white but to every picture, and it can be worse or not depending on the range of colors involved. Apparently, there is a shift between some RGB value that is going to remove some green producing a magenta look.
I've started contacting some developer about this problem and some of them is trying to understand what's going on.
In my case, the problem came up when I bought the new iPad mini Retina. I didn't have this problem with the previous iPad mini. Same OS for both devices.
The photo you see in the link above is a perfect example of what happens just going from one app to another and saving to the camera roll. In that case, the situation doesn't change if I send that picture from within the app by email, or to another app using the "open in..." feature. It keeps being purple. And the problem can be reproduced all the time.
Have some of you noticed the same?

How does one turn OFF ripple editing in PE8?

Sorry to have to ask such a simple question on a forum, but I'm a teacher and our district filters internet access to the online help.
How does one turn OFF ripple editing in PE8?
Thanks,
Chris Elkins

There is not ON/OFF toggle for Ripple Edit. It is ON, by default and design.
However, it is easy to change it to Insert Edit, by holding down the Ctrl modifyer key.
Good luck, and hope that this gets you what you want.

That would be great, you would open the door to professional video editing ipad 2. Is there an accepted camera list?.

There does not appear to be a list yet.

Ripple Edit/Delete - Can you restrict to single tracks ?

What am I missing about Ripple Edit/Delete ?
I have video with soundtrack and one music track. I can ripple edit or ripple delete perfectly. The video and it's sound move up to fill the gap - perfect.
If I add a second song to the music track then ripple edit is greyed out.
If I put the second song on a third music track such that it matches up with the end of the first then ripple edits work but the third music track is then ripple edited in that the ammount of 'time' deleted from the video track is cut from the start of the third music track.
If I leave a gap between the songs on a music track then the gap is reduced by the ripple edit.
It would seem that a ripple edit/delete effects all tracks in the sequence rather than just the video/soundtrack one is working on. Is there a way to restrict the ripple to specific tracks ?
Cheers

Good answer !! And fast too !!
Ta much

Can I download my data from an iphone to another device, edit it and then upload it back to the iphone?

Can I download my data from an iphone to another device, edit it and then upload it back to the iPhone?
I want to free up memory?

IT depends on what "data" you are asking about.
if you are having storage issues on your phone, I would be happy to make suggestions.
You can store pictures and documents in Dropbox or Google drive. These are cloud storage apps that keep your information stored off the phone, but available any time. You can send pages documents to either app in a different format for editing.
make sure you delete old messages, phone logs, email, as they take up space also.

Script that implements a ripple edit?

Hi There,
I realize that AE is not an editor, but is there a way to script a ripple edit for all layers other than the one being adjusted? For example, let's say I have a video footage layer that has a start time somewhere in the middle of a 8 second comp, and it has a duration of only 1 second--a placeholder video. Other layers surround this placeholder video with graphical overalys, animations, effects, etc. Now, I want to swap the 1 second video for an 5 second video. Is there any way via scripting to shift the layers so that they maintain the same temporal relationship to each other in the timeline? I think what my question boils down to is if there is a script that allows for a ripple edit to occur after a video layer has been swapped for another?
I took a look at Jeff Almosol's rdShifter and it seems to do a good job of shifting around layers' in and out points. Is that the only thing out there for shifting layers?
Thanks for your time and help!
Best,
Laz

I suppose the problem is - what is animated and what is not animated in the other layers and how do you automate how those keyframes are treated. Also how would the comp length and in/out points be affected by the swap. Also if your new clip was 5 times longer - would the other layers scale from their original inpoints or scale from an average point? (Assuming there are keyframes on them) or perhaps the keyframes would not scale.
I think there would be a lot of variables there unless you were working with the same rule day in day out.
Not exactly what u need - but I do minor editing in AFX so these help..
AED_SelectHereDown - Selects all layers under the currently selected layer, to aid with basic editing and layer sliding.Sometimes it is useful when you need to slide a large group of layers. Alt&Clicking - selects here up instead.
AED_KillDeadSpace - Searches comp and removes any space between layers by ripple editing backwards. Useful when there are accidental gaps between edits. There is an option to ‘Preserve overlaps’. This will not slide the layers back if layer B’s start comes before layer A’s outpoint. (if you have some transition operations in place). Check out the video tutorial for more clarity on this one. Alt&Click works in the opposite layer stacking order, if you work that way.
AED_AutoTrimmer -Set your time in frames using Shift+Click. Trims one selected layer to the time chosen(using work area). Then pushes the work area forward by the chosen time and leaves cursor in the centre. This allows you to slide a layer to find a good key point in the footage, then go again. Great for selecting clips quickly that need to be a specific duration and assembling a quick edit.

Ripple edit

Okay, here goes: I created a project with clips of multiple lacrosse games with the intent on producing a highlight/recruiting video. Each clip was between 5 and 20 seconds. On track two, I placed a graphic arrow that, using keyframes followed the player for identification. The arrow has a 15 frame dissolve transition on the front and back. On track three, I placed text identifying the player by name and number in the bottom left side of the clips. This also had the same transitions. Neither the arrow, nor the text were as long as the clips. They both started after the clip began playing and both finished (at different times) before the clip concluds. I do not have any transitions between any of the clips. A generic music clip(s) was laid under all of the clips.
Here is my problem. During one session, I mistakenly used on clip twice. When I discovered the duplicate, I tried to use a ripple edit (shift-delete). I thought (and hoped) everything would shift to the left and keep everything in sync. I don't care about the music, but the subsequent arrows with their keyframes shifted sync. Now the arrow does not follow the player. I've tried "delete-shift" deleting using the clip first, then by "delete-shift" deleting the arrow and then the text first. Nothing give me the desired result. How can I eliminate this one clip, while retaining all of the "syncing" of the subsequent clips, arrows and text? Is is possible, or do I have to re-keyframe all of the subsequent clips?
Thanks for listening to my long winded problem, and your usual terrific support and help!
cheers,
Jack

Not sure I'm reading this carefully enough, but if you lock the music track, and there's no other material under the section you're deleting, when you delete it, everything should stay in synch.
