Placing a photo over a video clip

Is there a way to place a photo so it "replaces" the video temporarily but still allows the audio to "play through" and to stay in sinc with the video? ie: someoen is talking about florida and a map of florida comes up without interupting the audio/video sinc.
You could try this
First extract audio from your clip.
Now select the still and determine its display time.
Next identify the point in the movie clip where you want to start the still and split the clip at that point.
Now identify the point in the movie clip where you want to the still to end and split the clip again at that point. The original clip is now in three sections, check the middle section is exactly the same length as the still (you can adjust the length of the still by double clicking on it)
Finally delete the middle, unwanted, part of the clip and replace it with the still. Hopefully you will find that the sound is still exactly in sync in the last part.
This is not as complicated as it may seem.
One effect you might like to try is to create a still from a frame of your movie and use the technique to hold on a shot while the sound moves on and pick up the action later.
Let us know how you get on.

Using iMovie '08 how can I insert a imagine "over" a video clip ?

iMovie '08: i would like to insert a photo "over" a video clip: how can I do?

Best if you can say what kind of movies you are adding .... for example if they are YouTube Videos then use the Insert HTML option and embed the code.

How do I place a still photo over a video?

How do I place a still photo over a video, where the sound keeps steady, but the still photo replaces the videos image for a duration?
I've got one placed and it's working great, but can't remember how I did it. I've tried everything. I'm working with iMovie 08'.
It appears like a music item in my project window, a thin blue filled line with the duration in it, just above the video and I can adjust the length of time the still is displayed. (Just like an audio/sound clip) The audio is uninterrupted.
Can anyone help me? Thank you!
Oh... my email is no longer [email protected]
I using [email protected]
I can't figure out how to change my email address in here or if it is possible...

switch-ON the Advanced Tools in iMovie's prefs.
drag your still onto the clip until the cursor gets a Green Plus Sign and choose Cutaway

How do I overlay audio from interview clip over other video clips?

Help! I have some interview clips and want to over lay the audio from one of the interviews over different video clips. For example, I would show video and audio from the interviewee and then cut to a clip or scene showing what the guy is talking about but still have the interviewees audio playing as a voice over on the cut-away clip. How do I do that?!

Welcome to the forum.
Is this Audio muxed (combined into a Clip w/ both Audio & Video), or is it a separate Audio-only file, that has been Imported into your Project?
If the latter, just drag an Instance of it to a free Audio Track, and position, as is needed. Note: each Instance of a Clip can have different In & Out Poiints, so you are not limited to them being identical.
For the former, the muxed file, there are a couple of ways to do that, but possibily the easiest is to Alt-click on the Audio part of the Clip (temporarily unlinks the Audio & Video), and Ctrl-C (Copy), then move the CTI (Current Time Indicator/Playhead) to the end of the Timeline, and press Ctrl-V (Paste), for as many Instances of that Audio, as you need. Then, drag them to an empty Audio Track, while holding down the Ctrl key for an Insert Edit, rather than a Ripple Edit, so as to not affect anything on that Track, below the desired Video Clip. If you are replacing the Audio.
Another way to do that is to use an audio-editing program to rip the Audio, Save as a PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit file, and then Import that into the Project, for use in many Instances.
Good luck, and hope that helps,

Stop Motion using photos + combining with video clips

We have about 3000 sequenced photos we want to put together into a Stop Motion video. We would also like to add an actual video clip to the beginning and to the end of the Stop Motiuon segment. Can this all be done in Premiere Pro? If so how? If not - what other Creative Cloud programs should we use and how?
Thanks.

Place a video clip OVER another video clip

I, I have two video clips in a window and want to know how to place video clip a, in a small window, over video clip b. I have the two video clips in one window but not sure how TO LAYER them as opposed ot having both show in small windows. Thanks

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
So for now I will generalize.
If you have video on Video Track 2 and video on video on Video Track 1 directly below, it is only the video on Video Track 2 that you are going to see unless there is some transparency in the video on Video Track 2 file that will let the video on Video Track 1 show through.
So with regard to
I have two video clips in a window and want to know how to place video clip a, in a small window, over video clip
a. Select the video on Video Track 2 and scale it down and reposition it.
or
b. Use a PiP (Picture in Picture) effect which you drag into the video on Video Track 2.
(These PiP effects are typically found with the Effects under the Presets category.)
Please let me know if I have targeted your question. If not, please detail the information that I need to know in order to help you.
Thank you.

Taking A Still Photo From A Video Clip

How would I take a clip from one of my videos, and turn it into a still photo that can be edited and printed in iPhoto?

A still frame from an Event:
Put cursor at the frame you want, then right click (or command click) and select "Add Still Frame to Project".
The still frame will be added at the end of the Project.
A still frame from a Project:
Put cursor at the frame you want then right-click (or control-click) and select "Add Freeze Frame". The Freeze frame will be added after the clip.
In both cases:
Select the still frame (so the yellow band is around it).
Right-clicl (or control0click) and select "Reveal in Finder".
You will see a JPG file highlighted in the finder.
Drag this file and drop it on your iPhoto icon in the Dock.

How do I make a photo from a video clip? I am a new Apple user and am using iMovie 11.

I have uploaded a video from my digital camera to iMovie. I want to create a photo from selected frames in the video. Not sure how to proceed. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

You can do this with a free App called MPEG Streamclip. For details see this link. Let me know if you get stuck installing MPEG Streamclip.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3231

I lost the option to "Download This Video" when placing the cursor over the video.

I can use the "Download This Video" button using the Internet Explorer browser without any problems. I used to have this feature using the Firefox browser, but now I don't.

One of the following steps should help.
1. Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Restart
2. Are Plug-ins Enabled?
    Enable Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Web Content:
    Click in the box for "Enable Plug-ins".
3. Check whether you are currently in YouTube HTML 5 trial.

How do you animate a title placed over video clip

I have been trying to animate a still title that I have placed over a video clip in expert view. There is only one line. I have followed the following which I think I got from the Adobe site:
Create a title with animated text
You can easily apply a preset animation to any still title. Text animation presets quickly and easily
animate the characters in your title so that they fade or pop characters into view, or fly in from the
top or bottom of the screen. For example, using the Fade In By Characters preset instantly makes
each separate character in your title fade into view until the title is complete.To preview an
animation, position the pointer on the Animation tab in the Adjust panel.
1. Do one of the following:
In the Quick view timeline, select the superimposed clip. In the Monitor panel, click the clip,
and then double-click the title text.
In the Expert view timeline, double-click the title clip.
The Adjust panel changes to display the text options.
2. In the Adjust panel, select an animation preset under the Animation tab.
3. Do one of the following to apply the preset to the title:
Click Apply.
Drag the preset to the Monitor window and drop it on top of the title text
I have had no success no matter what I've tried. I have a mac. I would value any suggestions.
Thanks.

Thanks. But let me clarifiy what I suspect Barb's issue is
a. not selecting the Text in the Text section of the Titler before applying the animation in Animation section of the Titler.
or
b. what I did not yet write, not using Default text since Text Animation does not work with Default crawl or roll
or
c. trying to use more than one line of text without the use of special procedures.
(I sort of put this thought aside when I replied since Barb wrote
I have been trying to animate a still title that I have placed over a video clip in expert view. There is only one line.
I interpreted that as only one line of text was typed in the Titler, not that there were two lines of text types.
But, the answer should be one of the 3. More details from Barb should help us to pin point the problem.
I think it was JohnnyO who first pointed out (your forum at few years back) that you can indeed apply Text Animations to more than one line of text in Premiere Elements Titler, but with the use of special maneuvers. I wrote about this and did a detailed step by step and overview on the matter.

Displaying File Name for Photo and Video Clips in Premiere Elements 10

I am using Premier Elements 10 on a Windows 7 Pro desktop computer to create
a project consisting of 128 jpg photo and mp4 video clips. Before creating
the project I created a short file name for each clip describing its
content. I've added menu tags at locations which separate the project into
discrete segments. I've selected a disc menu which utilizes the menu tags I
created. I previewed the project and I'm satisfied that the DVD disc I
intend to create will display everything I want except for one thing. I
have spent several hours trying to find out how to have each displayed clip
include the file name (without extension) somewhere near the edge of each
window as it is opened in the finished production. I sure would appreciate
some help with the steps needed to accomplish this.

Welcome to the forum.
This can most easily be accomplished by adding a Title (maybe from a Lower-Thirds Title Template), above each Clip/Still Image.
I would create one such Title, and manually add the "File Name" in the location desired. Then, place that on a higher Video Track, above the Clip/Still. Then, just use the Duplicate Title function, to create a new Title, with the Text and Style, per the first - edit the Text for each, as required.
I know of no automated method to grab the Clip's/Still's File Name, and add that to a Title, as PrE does not support any scripting.
Good luck,
Hunt

Showing Photos While Video Clips Continue to Play

I am trying to fade in photos while a video clip and its sound continue playing. (Although the video clip continues to play, it's obscured by the photo.)
Currently when I place a photo into the storyboard the video clips stop playing, the photo shows, and then the video starts again.
Does anyone know how photos can appear in my movie without interrupting the playing of the video and its audio?
Thanks!

Hi bcas and welcome!
You want to superimpose a still photo on a moving video? No problem!
But you need to buy Quicktime Pro. Here is how to do it (don't worry about the references to video within video, it works the same for stills - you will soon get the hang of it!
Organise the video clips and/or stills that you want to superimpose on to your main video clip, by having these in separate, individual iMovie projects (no matter how small). It helps if these are in the exact length/time you want later.
Now start with the clip in your iMovie project on to which you want to superimpose one of more smaller video clips or stills. Lets call it Main Clip. Export this (share) to Quicktime Pro in DV (full quality). make sure it has the same aspect as before (Quicktime tends to default to 4:3. If you want 16:9, read on).
In Quicktime, with this project open, select File ~ Open File. Select the iMovie file (in your movies folder) of the first clip/still you want superimposed. This will open in its own QT window. Select Edit ~ copy. If it is a movie clip then select all ~ copy (or you will only get one frame!). Switch back to the Main Clip window, and click in the scroll bar where you want the extra clip/still to appear. Choose Edit ~ Add to Movie.
You can repeat this as many times as you like, if you want to build a 'Video Wall', i.e. have several superimposed clips/stills on the same Main Clip.
Do not worry that the new clip overlaps or covers up the Main Clip, at this stage.
Choose Window ~ Show Movie Properties. The Properties Dialogue appears.
You will see a list of video (and audio) tracks. Track one will be the Main Clip, track 2 your new added (superimposed) clip. Click track 2, then click visual settings. From the Scaled Size pop-op menu, choose percent. Then type 50 into the first box. If Preserve Aspect Ratio is turned on you won't need to type 50 into the second box. You have made the pasted footage appear at one quarter its original size. The inset is now hugging the top-left corner of the Main Clip. If you want, you can type numbers into the Offset Boxes to shove it away from that corner (there are 72 pixels to the inch).
If your original Main Clip was required in 16:9, unclick (de-select) Preserve Aspect Ratio, and type in 1920 in the first box, and 1080 in the second, in Video Track 1. This will not affect video track 2, but if that is also wanred in 16:9 repeat for that track.
You can superimpose, 3, 4, or more such 'overlaps' on the same clip, and spend a happy afternoon tapping away for each track in the Offset Boxes until you have got them all in the right place! You can even overlap them, if you can remember (or note down - hire a secretary to take notes) which track you want on top etc.
Save the completed QT file. Import the completed file into a new iMovie project. Import this into the original iMovie project, substituting the old clip you copied to QT as Main Clip for the new fancy clip you have made.
Have fun!

Can a filter be applied to a video clip over time?

I'm interested in graduating a filter over a video clip. Is that possible? Say, for example, I want to blur a very sharply focussed clip at the beginning and have it last for two seconds, then progressively weaken until only the sharp footage is viewable again. Is such a thing possible with FCE4?
I'm thinking that I'd have to split the clip and apply the filter on the piece that needs it, but I'm not sure about the transitional part, the part that goes from blurred to sharp.
Any advice on this? I'm not even certain of what that technique is called

Hi(Bonjour)!
With FCE 3.5 and later only:
Apply the filter to the clip.
Double-click the clip in timeline to open it in viewer.
You can put keyframes for filter's settings in filter tab.
