No longer able to adjust the length of a video clip in imovie 6 HD

Without warning (or reason) I can no longer adjust the length of a video clip (new or old) in imovie. I've tried the old way of highlighting the clip and putting the cursor at the start or end, but the cursor doesn't change. I've also tried double clicking on the clip but then the length is fixed.
This problems happens in new and old movies and remained after I deleted and reinstalled imovie.

I searched further using the correct word (trim) and found that I had to turn off the audio levels

  • Can I edit out the middle of a video clip in iMovie?

    I know how to crop the beginning or end of a video, but I would like to crop out a section in the middle. I don't want to lose the part following the cropped frames. What must I do? Thanks for any advice you can offer. Miriam

    Can I edit out the middle of a video clip in iMovie?
    Yes.
    What must I do?
    Basically you have three options:
    1) If the clip is in the "Event" window, simply select (i.e., set and adjust if necessary "in" and 'out" points) the segment you want and transfer it to your "Project" window and place it where you want it.
    2) If the clip is already in the "Project" window, simply select (i.e., set and adjust if necessary "in" and 'out" points) the segment you want to keep...
    a) and press the "Split" option in the edit menu (or the "Split Clip" option in the context menu) to divide the clip into three segments. Then select each of the segments you don't want and press the "Delete" key to remove them from the "Project" window.
    b) or, even easier, simply press the "Trim to Selection" option in the "Edit" menu.
    All of these work flows do not physically remove anything from the "Event" but merely perform a non-destructive edit of the project for the purpose of later output.

  • Is it possible to control the duration of a video clip in IMovie? Speed

    Is it possible to control the duration of a video clip in IMovie? Speed
    it up/slow it down?

    I actually think the content gets smoother in faster mode. But maybe that's just my opinion.
    By the way, the fast/slow/reverse effect is pretty sensitive, i use it for my fight scenes in movies and I can only raise the bar one notch faster before it starts to look cheesy.

  • Can I adjust the speed of my video clips?

    I would like to use slow motion and fast motion in the movie I'm making with iMovie '08, but I cannot figure out how. I am positive I was able to adjust the speed of clips in iMovie '06, but I just can't find where/how to do it in iMovie '08. Have I lost my mind or has this option been eliminated in iMovie '08?
    And as a bonus question, if it has been eliminated, WHY?

    You can within iMovie HD. You can't from within '08. (You can pre-edit a clip for fast or slow motion externally.)
    And as a bonus question, if it has been eliminated, WHY?
    It is not so much a question of why it might have been deliberately eliminated but a question of how to add it to iMovie '08. As has been said hundreds, if not thousands, of times already, this is an entirely new application editing in an completely new manner. Motion changes require re-rendering of the file to use it in a project. iMovie '08 does not do any rendering until the project (i.e., which is merely a set of instructions) is actually completed. In case you haven't noticed, none of the third-party special effect "plug-ins" are compatible with iMovie '08 either. Your best bet is to either use iMovie HD (v6.0.4 available free online to iLife '08 users). It is either that or learn how to create such effects externally with other applications like the JES Deinterlacer (free) or QT Pro ($30).

  • How can i decrease the fuzziness of my video clip in imovie?

    I have imported video clips into imovie and when i crop out the background so the person is closer, it becomes fuzzy ... so i uncropped the clip and now i have exported the video using quick time and chose the 1920 x 1080 HD size which made it a little better although still kind of fuzzy ... when the screen is small, it is clear ... just want to know if there is something else i can look at ... thanks everyone!!

    It is not possible, however, there are other measures that can possibly prolong your battery. You may watch this informative video courtesy of Nokia Support Videos - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLa4ZJX_lAs

  • How to adjust the brightness of a video clip/still pictures ?

    Hi there,
    I have a video & a still picture on the timeline. But the video & picture are very dark.
    I wanna apply an effect to increrase its brightness. Where is the brightness effects located ? Sorry, I cannot seem to be able to find it in the Video Effects.
    Thanks

    Look at the color correction part in the Inspector.
    If you have other clips that look ok, you may try "match color" to make the not so well exposed more similar the better ones. If that doesn't work well, click the little arrow next to "Correction 1", and there you can tweak the exposure, but also the saturation and hue of your clip. Don't overdo it (unless of course you do so willingly and knowingly :-)).

  • Is there a way to change the master text length in FCP? The default length is 10 seconds, which is too long. I can easily adjust the length but I don't want to do it each time, and I don't want to adjust one and then have to copy and paste this length.

Ideally, there should be something in User Preferences but there is not. Thanks.

    Maybe some one else can pipe up with a solution, but this would literally take 2 seconds to do for a new project.  And you can create a "template project" that includes this "text" clip.  Save this project and then to a get info and check "stationary pad."  When you double click on this file, fcp will open with a copy of this project and you just need to do a save as. 
    I've been working with computer editing systems for longer than i can remember and at a certain point you just have to adapt your workflow to the limitations of the software.  

  • In camera raw, I am no longer able to use the adjustment brush.  This is a recent phenomenon.?

    In camera raw, I am no longer able to use the adjustment brush.  This is a recent phenomenon.

    Well, it worked fine for me as well for the past couple of years. I had not had any problems using it for the past few years. I use a Mac OS X Yosemite.  As far as I can tell nothing had changed. I had not added any new updates, and a week ago the adjustment brush in camera raw simply ceased working. Everything else in camera raw works.  However, the adjustment brush is a critical tool. I have checked my permissions, and even repaired my permissions with no results.  Of course I have also tried several restarts to no avail.

  • Since changing over to Mountain Lion I discover that I am no longer able to adjust spaces between lines. If I choose spacing of 1.3 after two lines single-spaced, the entire previous lines end up with 1.3 spacing. What am I missing?

    Do those previous lines have a Return/Linefeed after them, or are they just wrapped to a new line?

  • Imac is no longer able to open the Configuration file

    Hi ,
    I have an imac ( ilamp) 20' connected to ADSL, via Netopia Router which is connected to the Airport extreme connected to imac, for the PB Aluminum Tiger 10.4.5. we both can connect. PB can print via imac/printer.
    The imac is no longer able to open the Configuration file, when i enter the pswd which is correct, i get the message "The Airport Admin. Utility was unable to read the configuration of the selected base station an error occurred while reading the configuration "
    My Beau updated Airport to V5.7, this is the first time since the update I've tried to access the conf. file for the imac which i have done numerous times prior.
    I have a new base station Ip address 254.128.0 in Airport Utility Admin, on the imac which does not reflect my network settings anywhere, and is not what it use to be, i think, it was one value different than the PB.Base station IP. I do not know how it changed neither one of us changed it.
    I tried using the Airport Setup assistant (imac), I received this message:
    "Appropriate Airport hardware was bot found on this computer,if you recently
    Installed, an Airport card,please shut down your computer$ make sure the card is properly istalled."
    The imac does not have a card, nor do i think it needs one.
    I would like to be able to at least open the configuration file.
    Thank you for reading my post.

    Hi Kes, a star for the company !
    I made an error on my first post I have a Netopia modem, Airport router.
    And so it remains, i guess that there must be an easy answer somewhere
    that I am missing that I/we should read, some direction to that would be helpful, and I would be very appreciative.
    As I said the password had been set, and it is not an issue of that being forgotten, i wondered if it was changed back to "public" tried, not it.
    particular because everytime the imac wakes one of the folders on ( no one else in office just me and boyfriend and it is his work folder he has a copy on the PB.( the folder on desk top has been clicked on, the one with sensitve info, i have backed the folder up and secure trashed it, just in case some security issue hacking has taken place, thats closing the barn door after the fact.
    Good luck,w/ this Q.
    regards Eme

  • Since upgrading to FaceTime 1.0.5 (170) I am no longer able to open the application on my MacBook Pro. I am using operation system OSX 10.6.8 and being presented with error message "You have been disconnected  - an internal error occurred.

    No longer able to open the application on my MacBook Pro since upgrading to FaceTime 1.0.5 (170). The operating system is OSX 10.6.8. 

    My problem opening FaceTime after the upgrade is now solved. I didn't pay enough attention when prompted to decide where to store the application upgrade and as a consequence the computer created another "Applications" folder within the existing one. When I subsequently clicked on the icon on the dock to open the application the computer couldn't find the software.

  • After upgrading to ios 6.1, I experienced the following problem: I am no longer able to read the magazine I subscribed (The New Yorker) if I don't have access to internet. If the iPad is on FlightMode I can't read the magazine or the books in iBooks

    I am having the same problem.  I have a 2nd generation ipad wi-fi only.  All was working great until I upgraded.  NONE of my downloaded magazines or rss-feeds are accessible.    For the magazines, their icons show up on the "shelves" but once you click on one it wont even take you to the "issues" i have downloaded.  it jumps back to the shelf page. 

  • No matter where I go, as soon as I turn on the Internet on my new Mac Book Pro, everyone else is no longer able to use the Internet. How can I fix this?

    No matter where I go, as soon as I turn on the Internet on my new Mac Book Pro, everyone else is no longer able to use the Internet. How can I fix this? I received it as a gift for college, but its hard to do research when everyone constantly yells at me to get off because they can no longer continue what they're doing.

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

    Yeah - I tried that, several times; each time I get "iTunes is restoring the software on this iPhone" and after about 30 minutes the screen on the phone lights up again with the same screen I had before.  After that ... nothing.

  • No longer able to access the "Advanced" options via the Inspector Chart Series Advanced sequence

    In iWorks9 Numbers in attempting to add trendline to a line chart I am suddenly no longer able to access the options under "Advanced" via the Click On Chart Line>Inspector>Chart>Series>Advanced sequence because the triangle button adjacent to Advanced is not highlighted and does not open up when clicked upon. Ideas?

    well ... I spent some time this afternoon repairing disk permissions, checking application preferences, etc. and don't think I found anything directly related to this problem but after a few hours I returned to Numbers and lo and behold something changed and everything is working fine ... and I have no idea what was the cause and what was the fix but I'll take it. Heisenberg was right.
