Is it possible to disable the mouse automatically scrolling the video playback head?

Previous versions of iMovie allowed me to move the mouse without moving the playback head.  Doesn't appear possible in '11.  Can it be toggled?
Thanks.

No.  If I run the mouse over a video in iMovie, the video automatically scrolls along with the mouse.  The audio skimming function (if on) allows me to hear the audio along with the video as it scrolls - a useful feature, but not what I'm trying to fix.
What I'd like to be able to do is turn all of that off so that the only way to play a video is to start it with the space bar.
As it is now, if I select a spot where I'd like to place a marker or split a video, I have to move the mouse in order to initiate the command that I want.  But the moment I move the mouse to go to a menu, the video moves to a different place, making the edit more difficult.
iMovieHD ('08) did not have the scrolling function, and while I appreciate the usefulness of having it, I'm struggling with being unable to turn it off.  I could play a video to the point where I wanted to edit it, fine tune the playback head location and perform the edit without so much as touching the mouse.
It's not that I'm incapable of doing what I need to do with iMovie the way it is.  It just seems a bit tougher to accomplish these things with the scrolling when I don't want it to.  Seems like it should be a Preferences setting or something.  But I can't find it.
Thanks.

    There is no BIOS in OS X. There is only the EFI stored in ROM that is not user modifiable. OS X is probably checking Bay 0 for the boot drive since that is where it should be. It won't check the Tempo drive since it is treated like an external drive. I suggest you open Startup Disk preferences to see if the Tempo device is selected as the boot device. If it isn't, then select it. That will probably shave off a few seconds in the startup time.

  • Is it possible to disable the webcam toolbar on the Equium A300D

    Is it possible to disable the webcam toolbar on the Equium A300D at all? (i.e. just access the webcam controls from the control panel or start menu orsomething).
    Where the toolbar is on the left of the screen it's extremely annoying, as every time my mouse strays to the left of the screen, up pops the toolbar.
    On a couple of apps I use there are docked app controls on the left of the screen, and when the toolbar pops out, covering half of them up, I have to wait for the toolbar to disappear again, which can be extremely annoying if I'm rushing to do something.
    Is there any way to disable it from appearing?

    Yes, you can disable the webcam software from automatic loading.
    In RUN type *msconfig* and start this tool.
    There you will see the tab called Startup. Go to this tab and disable the webcam software (remove the mark).
    Then apply the changes and reboot the notebook.
    Now the Windows should boot up without the webcam software.

  • Is it possible to disable the dedicated GPU on Satellite L850

    Is it possible to disable the dedicated GPU on the L850.
    Through the BIOS or whatever, so that the laptop only runs on the integrated graphics on the CPU.
    Thanks

    Hi
    What L850-xxx do you have exactly and what dedicated GPU does it support?
    Notebooks which support an Optimus technology (with nVidia GPU) would switch automatically between the internal (Intel) GPU and the external nVidia GPU and this depends on running application.
    In some case you could choose weather an application has to use internal Intel GPU or NVidia GPU.

  • Is it possible to disable the 'edit layout' link on the record detail page

    Is it possible to disable the 'edit layout' link on the record detail page? Not the homepages, I know there is a switch for that, but I thought there was one for the detail pages?
    I want to disable this as I dont want users saving their own layouts, they must stick to the related sections defined in the default layout. The problem is that if they are to have access to certain related lists when an opportunity is of a certain type but NOT other types. If they have saved the layout (using the 'Edit Layout' link), and change the record type, they will see related sections that have been set to 'Not available' in the default layout (ie step 4) for that 'type'.

    Robbo, at this time it not possible to disable the Edit Layout on the record detail page.

  • Is it possible to disable the screen saver for a certain app?

    Is it possible to disable the screen saver just while a certain application is running?
    The app seems to crash when the screen saver comes on.
    Just so you know, application I'm using is Hogwasher; a newsgroup reader.

    Not really. Just disable it manually when you run that application. Then, send off a bug report to the app's developer and tell him to update it for the latest Tiger. Alternatively, use another newsgroup reader.

  • Is it possible to disable the OAWebBeanConstants.IGNORE_MESSAGES

    greetings all .... is it possible to disable the OAWebBeanConstants.IGNORE_MESSAGES . i have this ....................
    {                  OAMessageTextInputBean bi = (OAMessageTextInputBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("BI") ;
    System.out.println("BI"+bi.getValue(pageContext));
    if ((bi.getValue(pageContext)) != null)
    {                pageContext.setForwardURLToCurrentPage(//"OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/ap/MainPG",
    null,
    false, // Retain AM
    OAWebBeanConstants.ADD_BREAD_CRUMB_YES,
    OAWebBeanConstants.IGNORE_MESSAGES);
    System.out.println( "PM");
    OAApplicationModule am = (OAApplicationModule)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
    String paramPR = prnum2;
    Serializable paramPRParamList[] = { paramPR};
    am.invokeMethod("paidManuallyUpdate", paramPRParamList);
    System.out.println( " THE VALUE OF THE Cancel RB IS " + canx.getValue(pageContext));
    prnum1.setValue(pageContext, "");
    pReason1.setValue(pageContext , "");
    //either one of these confirmations will work . i use one or the other
    throw new OAException("Payment Has Been Updated To Paid Manually", OAException.CONFIRMATION);
    //or
    OAException msg = new OAException("Updated To Paid Manually", OAException.CONFIRMATION);
    pageContext.putDialogMessage(msg);
    the problem is if i include the setForwardURL my confirm messages dont work. if i dont include the setForward they work.
    is there a way to do the setForwars so i can redirect the page and make the table inactive and also use the confimations. i can see its going past my system.prints. it just isnt popping up my confirmations as i believe its due to the IGNORE_MESSAGES.
    any insight ....
    cheers.

    Hi,
    SetForward*()...It lets the current page processing complete. Your following code will complete its processing, after that it will be forwarded to next page.
    ForwardImmediately.... Forwards immediately without letting remaining code process.
    However, a good thing is pageContext of the same page is forwarded. That means, if you did pageContext.putDialog(message), in current page, that will be forwarded in both the cases to next page. Hence, for your problem...
    use putDialog method, as stated in previous post and
    use forward url as CONFIRMATION, NOT AS ERROR OR IGNORE_MESSAGE.
    pageContext.setForwardURLToCurrentPage(//"OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/ap/MainPG",
    null,
    false, // Retain AM
    OAWebBeanConstants.ADD_BREAD_CRUMB_YES,
    OAException.CONFIRMATION); //WHAT YOU HAVE PUT IN DIALOGS AND WANT TO SHOW IS CONFIRMATION.
    Please try this.

  • Is it possible to disable the optimized compiler in LabVIEW 2010

    Hello,
    I have a project that take 3 minutes in LabVIEW 8.6 to build and now with LabVIEW 2010 it take 10.5 minutes. 3x more longer.
    In fact my project as 61 .lvproj for a total of 4300 vi's that take 1 hour to build. If I interpolate, the entire build process will take 3 hours in LabVIEW 2010. This is not acceptable
    I know that the new compiler optimize the code for better performance, but if I don't need better performance.
    Is it possible to disable the optimized compiler in LabVIEW 2010 with an INI key in LabVIEW.ini.

    One Application Builder setting you might try out to make builds go much more quickly is the Remove Unused Members of Project Libraries checkbox and the Modify Project Library File after Removi....
    This can drastically cut down the build times. Note, however, that this option does not work well if your application will load external plug-in VIs when it runs, because the libraries of those plug-in VIs may conflict with the modified libraries in the executable file. If you don't have a plug-in architecture, this will not affect you.
    The "Remove unused members of project libraries" was already selected but not the "Modify project library file after removing unused members" and selecting this cut the build time from 10.5 min to 4 min.
    Thank you Jarrod for this tips

  • My kids use firefox on my computer. Is it possible to disable the private browsing feature so they can not go on and use it ?

    I want the computer to keep a history of all the site they have searched, but can not know for sure if they turn on/off the private browsing function. Is it possible to disable the private browsing function and put a lock / password on it ?
    Thanks,
    David

    Even if it was possible to remove or disable "Private Browsing" then that still won't make it impossible to delete private data like visited websites (history) or cache or cookies.<br />
    There are a lot of ways to clear such data, either via [[Clear Recent History]] or directly by deleting the History in the Library or sidebar.<br />
    Private Browsing makes it easier because all data is kept in memory and nothing is saved to disk, so nothing needs to be removed.<br />
    <br />
    If you want to see which sites have been visited then you should look at others means outside Firefox like a router or firewall with a password protected logging feature that can't be bypassed or a program like Wireshark.

    enable prohibition shutdown option, with out a jail break tweek
    Apple should think about this, if not already in the new IOS 7

    No.
    The battery will run out sooner or later anyway, even if you could prevent shutdown.
    iOS 7 includes a feature that prevents anyone wiping and then re-setting up the phone without your AppleID and password.
