Set duration of still to less than 0.1s in imovies 2014

Hi ive just got a mac and im trying to put the duration of a still to 0.04s and at the moment it wont go below 0.1s is there anyway to change this?
Thanks

No.  If you are trying to make a time-lapse or stop-motion movie you need to use a different application.
The following post may help:  https://discussions.apple.com/message/15074194#15074194
I think that there are a number of thrid party apps designed for this but I have not used them personally.

  • IMovie 11 - set duration for still pictures in project

    Hi,
    I work with iMovie 11 since recently and I never had any problem with previous versions. Now I'm doing my first project in iM 11 and it just ignores my request for setting durations to still pictures.
    When I set the duration in 'Project Properties' 'Apply to all photos' to 4 sec for example it will set the duration anything from 5 to 7 sec and no matter how often I change it will not react. This is very annoying. Is there anything I have overlooked?
    What can I do? Thanks for help.
    thl

    A transition borrows frames from the photos or video clips on either side of a transition. There is a general rule that a transition cannot be longer then half the length of the shortest adjacent clip or photo.
    Also, check the setting for EDIT/TRANSITION OVERLAP.
    I copied the following from iMovie Help...
    Whether transitions are added to your project automatically or manually, you can set how much they overlap with the clips they’re adjacent to. This setting, which applies to all transitions in your project, affects the duration of your project.
    Double-click any transition icon in your project. In the inspector that opens, choose an option from the Overlap pop-up menu:
    All - Maintain Clip Range: The two clips are made to overlap by the length of the transition, and the transition is placed over the overlapping region. In this case, no additional content from clip ends is added. The total duration of your project decreases by the length of the transition.
    Half - Maintain Project Duration: The transition is placed so that it spans the clips; one half of the transition overlaps each clip. In this case, additional content from the end of each clip is added to fill out the transition. The total duration of your project remains the same.

  • Can I set the duration of slideshow photos less than 1 second?

    I want to create a slideshow on iphoto, but I want each picture to display for about .5 of a second. I want the slideshow to be really fast, with pictures flying by. It seems the only option is 1 second and above. Is there any way to make it faster than 1 second per picture?
    I have version 6 I believe.
    (It happens to be frozen right now, so I can't check for the exact version.)
    Thank you,
    -Jenn

    Jenn:
    You can't. The minimum time is 1 second. You might be able to use iMovie to create what you want but will not be able to have any transitions between slides.

  • Problems setting duration for still photos and transitions in iMovie '11

    I downloaded iMovie 11 from the Apps Store last night and am trying to make my first movie with it today. I use still photos exclusively.
    For most - but not all - I like 5 seconds for photos and for transitions 2 seconds. I do vary this on occasion and so do not check "for all photos' or "for all transitions".
    I can't get these settings to work with this version of iMovie. For example, I added a photo (5 sec) then a transition (2 sec) which changed the duration time of the photo - as it should. But when I double clicked the photo, to bring up the inspector window to change the duration of the photo, nothing happened. Then I added another photo. The duration of the first photo increased to 7 seconds and nothing I do seemed to change that.
    The time increases seem random: for example, sometimes the time on the still photo increases to 6:29 sec, sometimes to 7 sec.
    The duration for the transitions always remains the same - 2 sec; it's the time for the photos that jumps around. And I haven't been able to find a way to get back to 5 sec.
    Before posting this, I researched and found an number of earlier posts detailing the same issues.
    However, none of these posts had stars to indicate the problem was solved.
    Has anyone found a solution or is this a bug that should be reported to Apple?

    Interesting!!
    I've spent a lot of hours on this too, but I have come up with a different solution perhaps because I like to vary both the image duration and the transition duration in my movies.
    Here's my process:
    -> Knowing that (a) I want most of the photos to be visible for 5 seconds and most transitions for 2 seconds and (b) that a transition takes half from the photo before and half from the photo after, under File>Project Properties>Photo Duration I chose 7 seconds - each photo will 'lose' a total of 2 seconds from the transitions in front and behind. I did not check either "Applies to all transitions." or "Applies to all photos." - See below for why.
    -> I discovered, as you have, that all the photos have to go in before I add any transitions. This was new to me. With all previous versions of iMovie I simply added a photo then a transition then another photo one at a time. I had to fiddle with the timing adjustments, but at least I could fiddle. With this new version of iMovie I can't. Once the transition is in place, I cannot change the duration of the photo.
    -> Sometimes, I want a longer or shorter duration for a photo. For example, on photos to which I apply the Ken Burns effect, I often want the image on the screen for a slightly longer time. In this case, I have to use the inspector to change the duration before I add the transitions. So I might set the time for 8 seconds; when both transitions are added, the time for this photo becomes 6 seconds, which is what I want.
    -> The same applies if I want a transition to be shorter or longer than 2 seconds. If, for example, I want the duration for a transition to be 1 second, then I have to change the duration on the two linked photos to 5 1/2 seconds.
    All of this requires much more prior planning than I am used to with iMovie. Right now, I working with batches of 5 or 6 photos at a time. I don't put a transition on the last photo in the batch until I have added the next group of photos. And things get really tricky if I don't like my original design. If I want to change anything, I have to take out all of the transitions linking the photos I want to work on, do the math, make the changes in the photo durations, then put the transitions back.
    Perhaps I am trying to make iMovie do more than it was intended to do, I don't know. Perhaps this problem stems from the fact that I bought just iMovie 11 from the Mac Apps Store and not the entire iLife 11. Don't know that either. But at least I have found a way to make the movie look the way I want it to look.
    Thanks for sharing your process. I will use it when the circumstances are right.

  • Set duration of still frame

    I have a few hundered short clips on the timeline.
    Now i want to put my watermark on it.
    I created my name in PS, saved it as PNG file and brought it in the timeline above my videos. No matter what I do, I can not stretch the stillframe longer than 00:02:10:01. The total lenght of my footage is 01:30:00:00. I tried to set it in pref, before putting the frame on the timeline, I rightclicked on it, change duration..... none worked. (Copy, Paste, Paste...etc, will not work, because I have to export every clip indivituell. I need 1 frame, 1.5 hours long, because I will need to cut right there where the clip ends.
    Also tried to drag the clip (it worked a little bit, but not much)
    Thank you

    Sooooo,
    Thanks for explaining your needs. Although they puzzle me sometimes.
    Because if your source footage is DVCPRO NTSC (720x480), there's no need to convert it to HD.
    The PhotoJPEG's (or ProRes files) are to be viewed on a computer. And computers don't care about NTSC or PAL. They can just play it. Only DVD players and televisions can be picky about that issue. Computers and computermonitors do not bother at all. Besides that: HD is international, but still there's a difference in Framerate between US and Europe for instance, so you do not eliminate that problem.
    So main question is: Is the original footage DVCPRO NTSC? Then stay in NTSC.
    Is the main footage DVCPRO HD, then stay in HD.
    Whatever choice you make, at least keep the framerate the same as your original footage.
    Because I don't know the specs of you footage, the below examples are examples. Change the settings to wahtever suits you (or your footage) best.
    First, let's do it again. Please follow the instructions. Do not only look at the pictures.
    Skip the whole FCP idea. It won't help you.
    Now, open Compressor.
    Find the NTSC 100 Photo Jpeg preset. I know, that might not be the one you want. But hold on: Select it and press Command D for Duplicate. You'll now see a copy.
    Select the copy. And now in the Inspector window you can give it a new name and tweak all settings.
    - You say you want the quality to 91 % ? So go into Inspector's second Tab.
    Press the video settings (second arrow in the above image)
    In there choose your settings. Now the Quality slider does not have numbers. So it's guessing. But in the Inspector you can see what setting it turned out to be (third arrow in the above picture). You'll need to go a bit back and forth with this until it's 91. If that is really what you want....
    Happy so far?
    Now the frame size. Again choose whether you need NTSC or HD.
    If you want the new files to be the same size as the original footage, then choose this:
    If you like to force NTSC into 720pHD, then you need to choose this:
    (You might need to change the fielddominance to Progressive (in one of the other tabs) in that paricular case)
    ....read on in the next reply [I think there's a maximum of screen grab's, I can't add them any more]

  • Four hours on the phone and 1 tech visit and still getting less than 10/2 when I orded 15/5 FIOS

    I'm not a happy customer right now.
    My building wanted FIOS installed. But, they gave us VDSL. However, customer service reps like to argue with me and tell me I have FIOS, because that's what our accounts say.
    Many of us held back on getting FIOS after they heard only VDSL was put in. I'm one of the unlucky ones who got VDSL and it is slower than cable.
    I've been spending hours on the phone trying to at least get the VDSL speed upgraded and it's all for nothing. I don't even get the follow-up calls back that I'm promised from the techs (just the automated survey).
    I called Thursday because I was getting only .6 on upload. That's ridiculous. I work in A/V and upload city council videos. I need something faster. I wanted to switch to FIOS because even cable was not fast enough.
    One person tells me I still only have 10/2 and to order 15/5. I call. They tell me they can't switch me because I already have 15/5. I said the tech told me I had 10/2. The customer service rep says "Oh, over here it says you have 10/2." I have no idea what "Over here means." But, she is still unable to switch me and hands the phone back over to tech, who says he can't help me because he can't upgrade service, so he hands me back to another service rep and I have to explain everything again, and then she sends me to some other person.. to another person..
    I am hanging on by a thread as a customer. At this point, I don't care if it's FIOS or VDSL as long as I can upgrade to the speed I want. But, they won't even let me upgrade from 10/2!!!
    After escallating my complaint on the phone last night I was told I would have 15/5 by this morning and a follow up call by a human being. Neither have happened.
    I can't believe I'm saying this, but cable had better support by people who could actually help me...and more constant data rates on u/l and d/l.
    If I can't get 20/20 (what I really want), I'm dropping the whole FIOS package and going back to cable.
    (PS - what your web site says is really available at my address is also false.. talk to your techs)

    VDSL speeds:
    •If MDU/VDSL-1 (Zyxel modem), then 20/5
    •If MDU/VDSL-2 (Westell 9100VM), then
    ·         Current max. FiOS VDSL-2 speeds are the 50/20 tier....
    The highest symmetrical VDSL-2 tier is 20/20..
    the VDSL 2's are on GPON networks and the VDSL1's are BPON's 
    Side note: FiOS's network download capacity consists of 32 users sharing 2400 Mbps for GPON or 622 Mbps for BPON. Cable networks using DOCSIS consist of typically 125 users sharing 160 Mbps
    So question to the OP is which of those sounds more like what you have?

  • CS6 64bit isso slow it blinks in response to every new stroke, yet still utilizes less than 2GB RAM

    Illustrator CS6 64bit is so overloaded that each time I draw a new brush stroke it responds only after a second of delay, while the area of the document where I added the brush stroke will sort of change it`s content for this duration and show some older state of the document or other gibberish, until AI has finished `processing` the new brush stroke, and then it would blink back to normal and I would be able to continue working. Despite the delay, for some reason, AI 64bit chooses to utilize no more than 2 GB of RAM.
    I do have a huge number of vector shapes in the document. My document is 1000px x 1000px and it weighs around 40MB. My machine  is a core i7 2.8 ghz with 18GB RAM 1066 running windows 7 64bit. C drive is an SSD and for Cache I have another SSD with read/write speed around 500 Mb\second out of which 20GB is reserved for windows pagefile and the other 100GB is free . Same SSD is designated as scratch disk for AI, and the AI files which I`m editing are located on this very same SSD.
    When running photoshop 64bit it will use up the available 18GB RAM according to it`s need.
    I hoped that AI 64bit would use up my RAM, too, so as to allow it to respond quicker. Why doesn`t it do so?

    Ultimately the differences between system will appear with usage and will obviously be more noticeable (or not) with not only the applications but how they are utilised.
    For many "average" users the perfomance difference between the GMA950 and the ATi X1900 XT in the Mac Pro is not even noticed. If you are however into video editing or advanced photo editing/management then then you'll find benefits with the MBP. While you are using iLife today that may not always be the case. As time progresses even iLife may make more use of the performance of the GPU.
    As for RAM, again, it comes down to usage. Even with more RAM hungry applications 2GB can be just fine as long as you don't expect to be able to run multiples of these at once. For instance, 2GB is fine to run Parallels, 2GB is more than fine to run Photoshop… but don't be thinking that it's fine to be run these concurrently. Unless you're using applications that clearly require a bucket load of RAM then the practicalities of 2GB comes simply down to your workflow. There are some users that like to have every application they have constantly up and running which makes then need a lot more RAM than otherwise.
    Be aware that speed and long term value for money is not only dependent on the obvious hardware specs. Never underestimate the value of having a clean, simple and fast software setup along with a good fast drive with a low (sub-50%) usage.
    Looking forward though, you definitely will get a longer lifespan out of a MBP. How much longer will depend on many things outside of our control, one major one being you. Think carefully as to what you're wanting to do, how you want to do it and what is important to you. Your choice might become very obvious where your needs rule out one or the other.
    Generally speaking, buy as much computing power as you can afford. This advice though does not always result in the best value for money.

  • Setting duration of still images

    I'm having a problem trying to make a timelapse. I'm importing from iphoto into imovieHD. I turn off the Ken Burns feature and set the duration to the shortest setting (00:03). This should be a duration of 3 frames, correct? What happens, however is a duration much longer, usually 9 and a half seconds. I'm very confused- any help??
    thanks,
    Erik

    Odd that you should see that.
    Normally it would show 0:00:00 (minutes, seconds, frames).
    Have you tried closing iMovie and deleting its plist file?

  • IMovie 10.07 change clip duration default to less than 1s

    I have 100 picture stills to put on the time line.  I want each to appear less than 1 second, say 0.2s.  I can't use the clip slider to slide to less than 1 sec.  Is it doable?  Thanks.

    Try setting the frame count to less than that for a full second.

  • Set mpeg resolution to less than half?

    Is there any way of setting the mpeg resolution to less than half? I ask this because I want to use the program strictly for HDV real time monitoring (not recording) and it seems like the latency is most affected by the mpeg resolution.

    No, Half-Res is the only option. Is your CPU getting pegged while monitoring HDV at half-res? If not, then a lower res setting wouldn't help.
    A major factor in latency with HDV is the interframe compression. There's a big random element to the extent of the latency depending on where in the GOP OnLocation starts getting frames. So if the latency is especially bad, cycling power on the camera might help. It's pure luck of the draw where you step into the GOP data stream.

  • Creating Custom Page Size less than one inch

    I currently have Acrobat 6 on Windows XP, and it appears that I cannot set a custom page size less than one inch (Using Printer Preferences). Is there another method I can use to create a PDF from Publisher that has a page size less than one inch? If not, would updating to Acrobat 9 allow me to print to a custom page size of less than one inch?

    Thanks Peggy,
    I tried deleting the preference file and restarting Pages but I still have the same problem with the custom page size. When I start Pages I am presented with a bunch of templates so I choose Blank then I go through my procedure to select the custom page size that I created and always end up back at an A4 document.
    I have used the demo version of Stone Create to do what I needed to do with the small page size (ie. create a small ad) but it is a pain that I paid for Pages and now will need to buy something like Stone Create to do what I need. Although, that said, having used Stone Create for this little ad I must say that for the price it seems like a pretty decent program that will do a whole lot of the desktop publishing type of functions without the rather steep prices of the Adobe products. I kind of wish I had bought this program instead of Pages now.
    Cheers,
    Graham

  • Can't adjust clip duration of still photos in iMovie '11

    Anyone having the same problem? I inserted a still photo in one of my projects in iMovie which has a a clip duration of 5s when added. I clicked the cogwheel icon then chose the inspector to adjust the duration. I've managed to changed it to 3s but after I clicked "Done", the clip duration is still under 5s.
    I didn't encountered this problem before in iMovie '10 and I've searched over at Google and found out that many iMovie '11 users have the same dilemma.
    Any workaround you can suggest? Thanks!
