IMovie11 - I Cannot Change Photo Duration

This is so frustrating !
I load my photos in iMovie for a slideshow video, and it sets my photos for 8 second duration and won't let me change it. I have tried double clicking on the individual photos and changing it to 3 sseconds, and it accepts it, but when I go back and check, the photo is still 8 seconds.
I have also tried setting it so that all photos have the same duration of 3 seconds, but it doesn't work either. I also went into file > themes and set the default to all at 3 seconds, which it still shows in the setting, but the photos are all still around 8 seconds.
Has anyone else found iMovie to be very unfriendly, unstable, uncontrollable?
Can someone help me figure out why it doesn't respond to commands?

I am not sure what is causing this for you, but in general, I avoid checking anything in transitions or duration that says "Apply To All".
If you go to FILE/PROJECT PROPERTIES you can set the default action for when you add a photo. You can set the length and Ken Burns Effect, Crop or Fit. But do not check apply to current. You want it where you can adjust each one individually.
Another thing to be aware of is iMovie/Preferences. Two things here. You want to make sure the Advanced Tools are enabled. And for DISPLAY TIME AS: you have a choice. You can display time as hh:mm:ss:tenths or hh:mm:ss:frames.   If you select frames, you can edit to a finer level of precision. If you are doing all photos and no video, then editing to the nearest tenth is probably OK.
Also, when using transitions, you can select EDIT/TRANSITION OVERLAP/ALL-Maintain Clip Range.
The transition takes frames from the clip before AND THE CLIP AFTER.  You usually want to use ALL whe using video clips. The other option is EDIT/TRANSITION OVERLAP/HALF - Maintain Project Duration. This is OK to use if your project is all photos and no video. You can use it with video, too, but you have to be careful. Let's say you carefully edited out the section of the video clip where your aunt is picking her nose. If you select this option, iMovie has to find frames for the transition, so those frames that you carefully edited out may show up in the transition if they are adjacent to the frames you used.
One more thing... I would try your project with a tranition duration of 1/2 second and see if it performs OK. Then adjust from there.

  • TS1702 Just upgraded to the latest iTunes and iPhoto and now cannot change photos on my iPad, can anyone help please?

    Just upgraded to the latest iTunes and iPhoto and now cannot change photos on my iPad, can anyone help please?

    Try one or more of the following:
    > Restart Your Computer
    > Uninstall and Reinstall iTunes
    > Reset iPod (nothing will get deleted)
    > Look in My Computer (Windows 98, XP) OR Computer (Windows Vista or 7) and see if your iPod is in there.
    In some cases (and this happened to me before) plug your iPod in and out your computer a few times. It should get it going. If not, then I strongly recommend starting your computer.

  • Cannot change slide duration in software simulation

    I'm using Captivate 7 for the first time. I had a much older version, but seldom used it.
    I have recorded a simple software simulation that should be a piece of cake to edit and produce, but have come across a problem I don't know how to solve. The simulation includes an item on screen being clicked, then dragged and dropped into a new location. I cannot edit the duration of the slide that shows the drag-and-drop motion. It has a duration of 6.5 seconds, which is painfully and unrealistically slow and there is no way I can find to shorten it.
    I can't drag the end of the slide on the timeline, right-clicking hasn't produced anything promising in pop-up menus, and the Properties panel has a Time field, but when I select the 6.5 seconds and change it, it just reverts to 6.5 seconds immediately afterward.
    I recall this sort of thing being very simple in previous versions of Captivate. Not anymore, I guess...
    Thanks,
    - Jennifer

    Thanks, guys! Those replies led me to try something that actually worked. It did record as a video demo (the red strike-through line) as Varun Kalra suggested. I discovered that I can click the end of the timeline for that slide (where the word END displays), then use the left arrow on my keyboard to decrease the duration of the slide.
    That probably wouldn't work if the entire animation was too slow, but in this case, just the very end was too slow.
    Thanks much!

  • Cannot Change Photo Caption in Lightroom 2.3

    I am not able to get Lightroom 2.3 to change the caption of photos taken with a Sony A100.  The caption reads "Sony DSC."  All of my efforts to change this caption to something else have failed, including use of the "Save Metadata to File" command.  While the program initially reflects a change or deletion in the caption at first, when I navigate away from the photo and then return, it always reverts to "Sony DSC."  If someone can suggest a different approach or a workaround it would be much appreciated.  Note that this does not seem to be a problem with Photoshop Elements 6.  I have not yet tried to see if I can make this change in Bridge yet. Thanks.

    I have given up trying to find a solution in LR.  It stubbornly overwrites "Sony DSC" on every photo I import and wipes out all changes I try to make in the caption field. I have not found a direct fix in LR, causing me nothing but frustration. But I have found a workaround which sounds complicated but is really quite simple.  The key is to import via the import utility in PS Bridge rather than with the LR import dialogue.  You wipe out the description field which contains "Sony DSC" in Bridge.  Then you synchronize the folder in LR.  Problem solved.  Here are the steps for Windows users.
    Step 1:  Create a Custom Template in Bridge.  (a) Go to Tools - Create Metadata Template; (b) In the "Create Metadata Template" dialogue box: (1) under the "IPTC (IIM, legacy)" tab, place a check in the box next to "Description" and leave the field to the right blank (make sure no other boxes are checked); (2) under the "IPTC Core" tab, place a check in the box next to "Description" and leave the field to the right blank; (c) In the "Template Name" field replace "Untitled" with "Clear Sony DSC" (or whatever you want to call your template).
    Step 2: Import your photos with the import tool in Bridge (the key is not to import with LR).
    Step 3: (a) navigate to the newly imported file of images; (b) in Metadata view click on the top image in the folder and shift click on the last image in the folder to select all; (c) right click on one of the selected images and click on "File info . . .; (d) In the dialogue box that appears, click on the down arrow next to the "Import" button; (e) one of the options should be "Clear Sony DSC" (or whatever you named your template), click on that: (f) an "Import Options" dialogue box will appear, with three choices.  Choose the first of the three "Clear existing properties and replace with template properties."  (Note this will only overwrite "Sony DSC" in the description fields of the metadata and leave those fields blank and will not overwrite any other metadata.); (g) That will return you to the File Information dialogue box. Click the "OK" button at the bottom.  Bridge will now take some time overwriting the description fields in the metadata attached to your images.
    Step 4:  Go to LR.  In the Develop module navigate to the folder in which this new folder of images was placed by Bridge.  In the top menu go to Library - Synchronize Folders. Lightroom will now capture this folder of images in your LR catalogue and the attached metadata but thankfully not the troublesome "Sony DSC", so you should be free to edit the caption field in LR.  Do not use "Import Photos from Disk at this seems to recreate the problem and results in duplicate images.
    Let me know if this works for you. 

  • Desktop Software 6.0 - Cannot Change Photo or Video Location - Crash

    I have been trying to change the locations used to sync photo and videos to another drive than the one that is pointed to by my windows profile. 
    The "My Documents" directory is relocated to a network drive by our network policies.  However there is not enough space available on the netowrk share to house video and photos.
    I therfore need to point the Photo and Video directories to a local drive.  Each time I click "Change folder" on the Media tab, in Device Options I am presented with a file browse dialog, but when I click "OK" to accept the new location on my local hard drive, the program crashes.

    Hi cap60552:
    Have you tried changing the folder from the main screens?  (On the BlackBerry Pictures tab, you can change the folder, bypassing the Device Options.)
    Anything else strange about the location you’re choosing?  For some reason, the software isn’t reading the location as a valid path and crashes as a result. 
    Have you tried different locations on your local drive?
    If all else fails, these values are stored in the registry here:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Media Sync\Settings  as PictureImportPath and VideoImportPath
    Changing them manually should work.
    Hope that helps....
    Cheers

  • Can no longer access iPhoto from the iMovie camera browser..not working. Also the Inspector tool not working properly. Cannot change clip duration.

    How can I fix the INSPECTOR Tool?   Clip duration is not working properly, it is very erratic.  You type a number and a different one comes up on the clip.
    Suddenly the iPhoto Camera browser in iMovie is not working properly either.  Can not access my iPhotos to include them in iMovie project.

    Have you tried this?
    From the "HOME" screen, go to "SETTINGS > PRIVACY > PHOTOS" and see if iMovie is listed in the "PHOTOS" page. If it is, then tap the iMovie switch to "ON"
    Now your Videos & Photos should be accessible in the iMovie App.

  • IMovie 11  adjusting photo duration - won't change, various times showing!

    H E L P!!!! I have just installed Imovie 11. I am in the finishing stages of a project which HAS TO BE COMPLETED in the next 2 days. I am having grief adjusting the duration for my still photos. I click on the COG - Clip adjustments - change the timing to 08:00 and tick the APPLIES TO ALL STILLS box. The clip won't change and some of them show 12s, some 10s ect. HOW DO I CHANGE THIS?? WHY IS IT SUCH A DRAMA??? I WANT MY STILLS to show for eight seconds only. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME???? THANK YOU

    Many people have posted on this issue, including myself. I've spent a lot of hours on problem, and have come up with a solution that allows me to vary both the image duration and the transition duration in my movies.
    Here's my process that I have posted before and that I still use:
    -> Knowing that (a) I want most of the photos to be visible for 5 seconds and most transitions for 2 seconds and (b) that a transition takes half from the photo before and half from the photo after, under File>Project Properties>Photo Duration I chose 7 seconds - each photo will 'lose' a total of 2 seconds from the transitions in front and behind. I did not check either "Applies to all transitions." or "Applies to all photos." - See below for why.
    -> I discovered that all the photos have to go in before I add any transitions. This was new to me. With all previous versions of iMovie I simply added a photo then a transition then another photo one at a time. I had to fiddle with the timing adjustments, but at least I could fiddle. With this new version of iMovie I can't. Once the transition is in place, I cannot change the duration of the photo.
    -> Sometimes, I want a longer or shorter duration for a photo. For example, on photos to which I apply the Ken Burns effect, I often want the image on the screen for a slightly longer time. In this case, I have to use the inspector to change the duration before I add the transitions. So I might set the time for 8 seconds; when a two second transition is added before and after, the time for this photo becomes 6 seconds, which is what I want.
    -> The same applies if I want a transition to be shorter or longer than 2 seconds. If, for example, I want the duration for a transition to be 1 second, then I have to change the duration on the two linked photos to 5 1/2 seconds.
    Right now, I working with batches of 5 or 6 photos at a time. I don't put a transition on the last photo in the batch until I have added the next group of photos. And things get really tricky if I don't like my original design. If I want to change anything, I have to take out all of the transitions linking the photos I want to work on, do the math, make the changes in the photo durations, then put the transitions back.
    All of this requires much more prior planning than I am used to with iMovie. I hope it helps those of you who are struggling with this problem.

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

    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.

  • Cannot change desktop background picture to my own photos

    Hi, in desktop & screen saver I cannot change the desktop background image to any of my own (iphoto) pictures, it shows the list of the images and thumbnails but will only change the pic to the 'Apple' ones (nature,plants,black & white, abstract), if I select any of my photos under 'iphoto albums' the desktop image simply turns light blue.

    Hi.
    I'm seeing what seems to be the exact same problem you described. Were you able to figure it out and fix it? I don't see a solution posted.
    Thanks.

  • I cannot change the cover photo on a book I am creating??????

    I cannot change the cover photo on a book I am Creating????????

    Well I did do it right.... I did drag the photo that I wanted to be the cover photo to the cover and it would not stay there.  Other photos drag where you want them.
    What I exactly want to do it change the book cover photo.  The program for making a book sorts the photos where it feels they best fit.  How it decided on a cover photo I do NOT know.  I do not get any ERROR messages. I simply cannot find a way to change the book cover photo. 
    If you are unable to assist someone then do not nail them for not giving enough information.  I was asking for help not to be treated like an idiot.  Your comments were no help.  Whatsoever!!!  J

  • Cannot Create Albums: Clicking on Photo in New Album Changes Photo

    This is really strange.
    When I import photos from a USB device the import seems to work O.K but if I create a new album when I click on any of the photos in the album, the photo is changed to a different photo from my library. This occurs even if I create an album of old photos. iPhoto seems to randomly change photos into other photos when I click on them.
    Any ideas?

    Sounds like minor database corruption.
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    Regards

  • I cannot upload photos from iPhoto 9 to Flikr. When I attempt to do so, I get the message "the login details or auth token passed were invalid." Please help.

    I cannot upload photos from iPhoto 9 to Flikr. When I try, I get the message "the login details or auth token passed were invalid."  I am using iPhoto 9 version 8.1.2, and my OS is 10.9.5. My computer is a MacBook Pro. I do not have this trouble with my iMac.  This trouble started before I updated to OS10.9.5.  I do not have this problem when uploading to FaceBook or sending by e-mail.
    This problem started when I tried to upload some photos after hitting the "use other account" tab. This took me to a Flikr site asking me for permission to make my iPhoto information available to others.  I clicked "yes," and then I changed my mind and clicked "no." I haven't been able to upload to Flikr since.
    I searched Flikr and Yahoo for a solution, and Yahoo says the trouble is in iPhoto.  I checked my Flikr account, and iPhoto extensions are enabled.
    I need to upload some school and alumni photos, so I sure could use some help. I am Not computer proficient.  Thank you.

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • I have changed my apple-id but I cannot change it on my iCloud

    I have changed my apple-id but I cannot change it on my iCloud so it still comes up with the old apple-id and asks for the old password. Problem is that the old apple-id is an e-mail account that is closed so I cannot get the information sent on the old account. I can access the iCloud account on my mac but not through iTunes so I cannot retrieve old information or activate Find my iPhone.
    When I try to delete my iCloud account on my iPhone it comes up with my old apple-id and will not accept my old password so I cannot delete the iCloud account.
    It is driving me crazy. Any ideas?

    Same thing happened to me, m still searching the solution, plz let me kno too if u find any wayout.
    If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
