Moving video playback to a specific point in a video... impossible?

So watching a full length movie on my 2nd gen touch. Say I want to skip to the 1:27:30 mark, but trying to move the video position slider to that spot is a lesson in insanity. For a big movie like this, you end up with 10 min chunks before or after where you want to be, and no way to fine tune it.
Am I missing the secret step here? It was so much easier on my nano with the wheel.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You're not missing a step. The iPhone and +iPod touch+ don't handle scrolling through long media files well. I've left feedback countless times... but perhaps if a few more people did...

How do I move video clips to specific points on a music track in iMovie?

I am trying to make a lip synch video and need to move my video clips to specific points on a musci track so that the words are in time with people singing - does anyone know how to do this? At the moment, I only seem able to put the clips in one after the other...

Hi
IMovie is Video clip oriented - meaning that Audio can not be put in first and video/photos added later.
So to do this I use black photos that I fill up the Video with first
Then Add audio
Then add Video/photos by Cutaway function or exact replacement (in time).
This is so much easier in any version of FINALCUT where one can build Audio first then create the video ontop of this.

Is it possible to hyperlink to a specific point in a video?

I'm trying to create a DVD-style menu page within keynote.
Ideally what I'd like to do is have a video on 1 slide and then create a series of hyperlinks on a menu slide that would hyperlink to specific points within that video.
Anyone know if this is possible?

You could use iMovie to split the video clip into each section as well. Do you need the option to play the entire video clip from start to finish? If not, you can have each video clip be its own Keynote file and have Hyperlinks to each individual Keynote and then there will not be one large file, but multiple smaller files. This of course will not work if you want to play the movie straight though.

Welcome to the Apple family!!!!
How can I cause the VO cursor(box) show-up/start?
Press Control-Option and F5. The F5 key is located on the top row of keys 6th key over. This is a toggling "Keyboard Shortcut" for turning VoiceOver on and off.
How can I move the VO cursor to various sentences or paragraphs of an article and have it start reading ... and perhaps even continue reading on to the next paragraph(s) ... even to the end of the article?
How to read a website with VoiceOver
Step 1: Go to the Website
A quick keyboard shortcut is Command-L. This will jump you up to the address bar. Start typing where you want to go. i.e "www.thewebsite.com"
Step 2: Working with Webpage
VoiceOver will automatically start reading the website. You can pause the speech by hitting the 'Control Button'.
If VoiceOver does not being reading the webpage, then you might have to "Interact" with it. If VoiceOver say "HTML Content" then press Control-Option-Space-Down Arrow to interact with the webpage.
Use Control-Option-Right Arrow to move throught the website. This will speak "EVERYTHING" on the page.
Most website that I've found have their articles labeled as 'Heading'. You can jump from heading to heading, by pressing Control-Option-Shift-H.
If you'd like an itemized alphabetical listing of the site, press Control-Option-I
Press Control-Option-Space on the link or article you want to view.
Step 3. Reading from Top to Bottom
Once you found and clicked on the the article/link, use the same 'Heading' command, Control-Option-Shift-H to find the title.
After finding the title, press Control-Option-A will start reading from the title on.
Note: If there are any other items (ads, pictures, etc) it will read those too.
Tip: You might be able to activate a feature called the 'Reader'. The Reader isolates the article and elimanates the ads The keyboard command is Shift-Command-R. You can also find it in the Menu Bar (Command-Option-M) under the word 'View' then 'Show Reader'.
I am using a MACPro with OSX, probably Mavericks 10.9 (where would I look to see if that is the correct information?)
You can find this information under the 'Apple menu' in the Menu Bar. To access the Menu Bar, press Control-Option-M.
Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac. This will open up another window. Use Control-Option-Right Arrow until you hear 'Version'. If you purchased it brand new from Apple within the last six month, more than likely you have Mavericks.

The 'Commands Help' Voiceover Menu. Control-Option-H-H. (hit H twice) is my best friend. It's a searchable VoiceOver Menu with most of the VoiceOver command. Example: You are looking for the 'Read Current Paragraph' keyboard command. Press Control-Option-H-H and then type Paragraph. It will then bring up all the commands with the word paragraph. I believe there are three.

Copying or moving video from your Event Library to an external hard disk

I have a Network Drive where I'm used to putted all my iMovie08 files.
I'm start using iMovie09 and i'm no longer able to have my *files/library in a network drive*. Did apple remove this functionality? If this is true this is unbelievable because now a days everything goes to network storage. On iTunes i can have my library virtually anywhere. I need to have the same behavior when i'm using iMovie.
Can someone help me?
with my best regards,
Paulo

Copying or moving video from your Event Library to an external hard disk
If you want to save space on your computer’s hard disk, you can move your stored video in your Event Library to a compatible external hard disk connected to your computer with a FireWire or USB 2.0 cable.
You can also copy Events to another hard disk. You might do this, for example, if you want to create a duplicate copy of your video library or an Event on a friend’s hard disk.
NOTE:When using an external hard disk with iMovie, make sure it has been formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

- If i understood correctly, the solution you propose will replace completely my hard disk library with NAS location.
- What i need (because when i'm travelling i dont have my NAS) is to have both. My hard disk library and the ability to copy/move (drag & drop within iMovies09 ) events and projects to my NAS at my description as i use to do on iMovies08.
And yes all my NAS locations appears with and yellow flag on iMovies09.
best regards,
Paulo

Hyperlink to a specific point on a page

I am trying to insert a hyperlink which jumps to a specific point on a page. The way I would like it to work is so that I have a list of headings - an index - and when you click on a heading it jumps to that particular chapter in a text.

QuickTime: can't move to a specific point when playing .WMA audio files

I use a lot of .WMA audio files recorded on my Olympus Digital Voice recorder. Since the latest update of QuickTime I cannot move to a specific point in a file. When I click and drag on the diamond cursor it won't move. The only way to move through the file is to play it or 'fast' forward it - which takes ages.

I have the same problem. when playing wma or wmv file, simply just cannot drag the progress bar to a specific position. Just have to progress from the very beginning to the end. Once it has been played to the end, I can move the progress bar. Very weird
I have both flip4Mac and perian installed with the latest version.
Could anybody please help.
cheers

How to rewind to a specific point?

I have a 30 gig. Ipod on which I like to listen to audible.com books. I just got a new Nano. On my 30 gig Ipod, I can rewind or fast forward to a SPECIFIC point of the book, not just to the very beginning or to the end. I can't seem to do this with the Nano, which allows me to go only to the very beginning or to the very end. What am I doing wrong? Thanks so much in advance.

Whilst listening to the audiobook, and the iPod is in the 'Now Playing' screen, press the centre button once. A small diamond will appear in the time scroller ad the current time point. Just use the scrollwheel to get to the time where you want to listen to.
Hope that helps

Zoom into a specific point on a clip

How do I zoom to a specific point on a clip or picture?
Whenever I try to use this feature it just goes to the centre of the clip.
Thank-you.

Make sure Image + Wireframe is selected in the Canvas:
Select the clip you want to zoom in on and reposition on the timeline by clicking on it. Once it is selected on the timeline, the turquoise box and cross hairs should appear in the canvas.
If you click and drag on one of the boxes on the corner, you can resize your image:
And if you click and drag on the image itself, you can change the clips position:
You may need to change the canvas display scale to see the handles after you zoom in:

Jumping to a specific point in a clip

How can I jump to a specific point/frame in a clip? Example: I know a clip is exactly 3:40 long. How could I go to 3:37?
Thanks.

If you have the clip loaded in the Viewer window and the Viewer window highlighted, it will take you to that point in the clip, if you have the Timeline highlighted, it will take you to that point in the Timeline. You can also save a few keystrokes by just hitting "3.37." to skip to 3 minutes and 37 seconds, for example.

Is there a way to draw gridlines at a specific point on a bubble chart?

I'm using Xcelsius 4.5 and (trying to) creating a bubble chart. I am using static min/max values for the x and y axes, but rather than drawing the gridlines in 1 or 2 divisions (i.e. the midpoint), I want to draw a grid line (both x and y) at a specific point -- is there any way to designate this point in Xcelsius?

I figured it out - I just adjusted my formula to draw the min/max such that my intersection is always the midpoint

Adding static images to map at specific points in time

Hello,
I am trying to create a power map animation and I am having difficulties figuring out how to go beyond simply animating the data over time. let's say I want to add a little image of the space needle in Seattle when the animation gets to the point in
time when it was built. Obviously, I will be in the process of animating my normal data when this image gets added. Also, if you know of any tutorials that might be relevant please mention them.
Thanks,
Bob

You can add static images at a point in time and these are done by adding an annotation to a specific point that is plotted on your map. Once you pause the tour at a specific time you might want to add a scene to the tour and then add your annotation.
In order to add an annotation you will need to select the point and then right-click and select 'Add Annotation'. You will then be able to add a title along with either text, a field from data set, or an image. At this point you can continue
to plat the tour and/or add another scene and continue to build out your tour.
Check out this article on inserting annotations to Power Maps for additional information
