Is there a way to play videos faster in the event browser?

I shoot a lot of helmet camera video.  Most of it is worthless, but there's some good sequences in there.  I guess I'm looking for a way to skim the videos without using the mouse.  I'd like to just sit and watch the event browser at 2X or 3X speed until I find something worth saving.  Using iMovie 09.

You can skim with your mouse at whatever speed you want. If that is not good enough, you can try the following...
In the Event browser, speed up playback from 1x to 2x to 4x by pressing the Right Arrow Keny one time or two times, respectively
In the Event Browser, Slow down playback from 4x to 2x to 1x by pressing the left arrow key one time or two times, respectively.
The "slow down" only works if you have already "speeded up"
This works in iMovie 11. It most likely works in iMovie 09 and 08 as well.

  • Is there any way to play video faster as you can with QuickTime A/V control

    Is there any way to change the speed at which videos/music is played back on the ipod function of iphone? Is there anyway to even do this on iTunes. I have been using QuickTime to watch videos from home in 2x the speed ---- but can't find the controls to do this through iTunes.

    There isn't as far as I can find - I've had a play around and can't find any way.

  • Is there a way to play videos other than getting them through itunes

    is there a way to play videos other than getting them through itunes.  I have lots of dvd's that I want to play on my ipad but don't want to have to buy them again through itunes.

    You'll need to rip the DVDs to your hard drive using a tool such as Handbrake. Be sure to rip them in an iPad compatible format. Then you can drag them into iTunes and sync them to your device. It is a little bit of work but that's really the only way without (as you say) rebuying them in iTunes.

    Is there a way to play itunes music while the computer is shut?

    Not without either an external monitor and keyboard, or using a hack. If you want to try an hack app, look into:

  • Is there a way to create videos 'fast' with adobe products?

    I am an affiliate marketer. I have produced a video  Inspro Program: personal development planned and achieved - YouTube and I would like to know if there are ways to create videos within maybe 10 minutes with Adobe products. Please suggest a quick method.

    Turnaround times ultimately depend on the skill of the person doing the work just as much as the programs' capabilities. And 10 minutes for editing a video? That's just ridiculous. Importing/ exporting footage or tweaking voice-over audio alone could take longer as could replacing/ re-typing text.

  • Is there a way to play video on the iPod Photo with color display 60 GB?

    Just curious. Can you download and play video with this model? It does about everything else. Any help that someone can offer me will be appreciated.

    You can only play video's with the new 5th generation iPods.
    Maybe the iSee (http://www.isee-ato.com/) is a good alternative for you?

  • Is there a way to play video through HDMI and have the audio via the headphone socket?

    I would like to be able to play movies through the HDMI adapter to a projector, but to have the audio via the headphone socket to a separate audio system.  What I find is that as soon as I connect the projector via HDMI, the audio via the headphone sockeet is cut off.  Any ideas?

    Yes, there is a very simple way to get audio out through the iPad headphone jack even while connected to HDMI to play movies on a projector or TV.  In fact, I just did it last night for a presentation.
    With the HDMI adapter connected to the projector and your audio jack plugged into your iPad headphone jack, go ahead and start the movie. Then simply unplug the headphone jack and plug it back in.  The audio is now routed through the headphone jack again.
    I found I only had to do this once per session.  That is, Iwas able to stop the movie, go to the beginning of my presentation, wait the 20 minutes for the meeting to begin, and when I got to the video clip the audio still played out through the headphone jack to the PA system.
    I had built a presentation in a Web oriented training tool and it was running on Safari iOS7 with the latest update.  I have not tried it with Keynote yet.

  • Is there any way to edit video imported to the ipad?

    I'll stop my search for a way to import video files from my sony camera if I can't even edit them once I get them onto the ipad.

    Unless there is a 3rd party app that provides for this, the answer is no.
    Apple will have an iMovie app for the iPhone 4 for editing video that was captured with the iPhone 4, but not sure if the same will be available for the iPad.

  • Is there a way to drag video only from the Project Panel ??

    As the questions states.
    Can you do this from the Project Panel similar to how you can in the preview Panel ??

    If you deactivate your source patching on your timeline for all audio tracks (the square patch on the left of the that says A1,A2, etc) It should let you drag in only the video portion of the footage. Just tested it and it works.

  • Is there any way to disable or not allow the private browsing function on Firefox for Mac?

    I have 3 young preteen/teenage sons who use our family iMac as their computer. Even though I have a filter on the router to prevent them from getting into trouble, I occasionally check their browsing history just to see when/where they are browsing. On a couple of instances, there has been no history shown for certain websites I know they have visited (per the router report), so I am wondering whether they have activated private browsing to cover their tracks, and if there is parental control function to disable the Private Browsing feature in Firefox.

    Thanks Rick for your Quick replay,
    As my consultant told me , They will get lot of approval messages so we have to make only one inbox message for approval.
    When they select Yes or No , if agreement is not locked by others will get approved or rejected no problem.
    But if agreement is locked , it will get checked only after they hit approve or reject so i will be displaying a message to them that this agreement is locked Hit Cancel button and do the Task later .
    so the approver will comeback at later at 20 or 30 mins and will execute the workitem which on double clicking will execute the already selected ( approve or reject ) status change only .
    This is how i  suggested them and they said okay.
    Only problem they are saying  with LOOP is they have to refresh the SBWP inbox when ever they met with lock of agreement .
    If you still feel using loop and sending again is the best way i will try to ask them again and see.
    Thanks,

  • I DRAG AND DROP A VIDEO CLIP FROM THE EVENT BROWSER THAT IS 7.9 SECONDS INTO MY IMOVIE I'VE STARTED AND IT CHANGES IN THE PROJECT TO 4.9 SECONDS - HOW CAN I KEEP THE LENGTH THE SAME

    I drag a video clip from Event to Project into my imovie I've started.  The video clip length changes from 7.9 seconds to 4.9 seconds. How can I stop that length from being changed?

    If you are using transitions either side of the clip they will use some of the clip to generate the effect, there isn't anything you can do unless you remove or shorten the transition.
    If you aren't using transitions it may be that you are only selecting part of the clip in the event window, try dragging out the yellow frame to include all the video you want in the project.

  • Is there a way to transfer video at half the quality?

    I have a 8 GB iPod Touch, with 5 GB worth of music. That doesn't leave a lot of room for movies, pictures, and apps (mainly movies since they take up the most room out of the three).
    Is there a setting in iTunes or whatever, so when transferring videos to my iPod, they transfer at half the quality to make the filesize smaller? In other words, the original quality stays on iTunes while a lesser quality version goes on iPod Touch?

    Not within iTunes, no. You'd need to use other software to do that (QT Pro, for example).

  • Is There Any Way To Access Videos Except Through The Dock?

    The section of screen where the dock is located does not respond to touch on my ipod, sending it to get repaired is too cost prohibitive from my location. Is there some alternate method for accessing the music, videos, podcasts etc apart from through the dock? or maybe some tip to make the dock work again?

    Here is an article about troubleshooting touch screen response. It's written for the iPhone, but is equally applicable to the iPod Touch.
