Slow motion and other effects are grayed out

Just switched from iMovie 9 to 11, and can't take advantage of the slow motion, instant replay and other effects, because they are all grayed out in the Clip menu. Why? I do not see the "convert entire clip" option referred to in the help file. What is wrong?

Yes, that is it. The trailers are pretty scripted.
If you want to add an effect to a trailer, first complete the trailer.
Then, in the Project Library List view, right click on the trailer name, and select DUPLICATE. (This will give you a copy of the trailer in case you want to edit it some more.)
Then, with the trailer name still selected, click FILE/CONVERT TO PROJECT.
This will turn your trailer into a normal project, and you can use any of the capabilities of iMovie, including the slow motion and instant replay effects.

  • "Synchronize Now" and other options are grayed out?

    I'm pretty sure this is not technically a WSUS issue but it's only affecting WSUS in this scenario, so...
    I have 4 WSUS servers, all in the same OU in Active Directory.  1 is my master server, the other 3 are the replicas.  About a week ago, all of the sudden my 3 replicas have "Synchronize Now" is grayed out.  Server Cleanup Wizard and WSUS Server Configuration Wizard are grayed out in the Options view, but even the other options say "You do not have sufficient permissions to modify these settings" when I click on them.  As a result I can't do manual synchronizations if I have to make a quick approval change.  My nightly synchs still occur, thankfully.  This is not an issue on my master server even though it is in the same OU and (from what I can tell) the same permissions are applied.
    I'm an administrator (triple checked group membership in Administrators, when I log in, AU prompts me for updates, etc).  I don't know what permissions it is missing.  Running Server 2003, and checked to make sure the shortcut doesn't have a funky permissions restriction.  I'm at a complete loss.  I've rebooted the servers several times for other things, removed any updates that were recently installed...
    Pretty positive it's something simple but it is escaping me.  It is possible the server admin team changed something in AD or on the servers themselves, but I've checked what I know to check and don't see anything suspect.  A little help?  What permissions make the WSUS console "go"?

    An update to this.  :/
    Got impatient enough to remove WSUS and all its components from the least important server, rebooted, re-installed WSUS and (so far) nothing is grayed out or is malfunctioning in any way.
    Has anyone ever seen this happen to them?  I searched google quite a bit on this one, and found nothing but this thread linked below, which didn't describe my issue except for the 3rd (and final) post.

  • How do I digitally sign with reader XI when the fill and sign functions are grayed out?

    I am using Adobe Reader XI. I am suppose to digitally sign a fillable .pdf document for online submission. However, the fill and sign functions are grayed out.
    What are my options to put a signature in the signature box of the document?
    Thank you in advance!

    Pat Willener,
    Thank you for replying.
    Here is an image capture of the properties.
    The document is part of a job application that is suppose to be digitally signed and submitted soon. I have thought about printing, signing, and redigitizing to submit, however, the cells are statically sized and do not expand to include all of the information when printed.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  • Want to forward ports, but 'add' and 'default host' are grayed out! help!

    Hey folks. Configuring my laptop to access a new airport express plugged in one floor below me. great signal connection works fine, but of course it isn't forwarding ports i want... so I go to set it up... now, the owner of the house set it up first, but he told me the password so I could futz with it... now when i pull up the base station config in airport admin, the relevant options are grayed out! The whole section in which default host option is located is grayed out, as are all the buttons e.g. 'add' on the forward ports tab! I've tried doing all the tricks I can think of; if anyone has any insight as to where to look to fix this, I'd appreciate it enorm.
    George

    Copy these commands into TextEdit, replace the bracketed part with your username and the quoted parts with the ext HD's name, retaining the quotes.
    sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/"name of ext HD"
    sudo chmod a+rx /Volumes/"name of ext HD"
    Launch the Terminal app in /Applications/Utilities, copy and paste the first one into the window that pops up, and hit the return key. When the Password: prompt pops up, carefully type in your admin password, since nothing shows on the screen, and hit the return key. Copy & paste the other two, one at a time, following each with hitting the return key. You won't get the password prompt, since the initial one's good for five minutes.
    Quit the Terminal app and you should be able to read and write to the ext HD.

  • How to make Outlook 2013 calendar only show specific hours and hide the others that are grayed out

    I’d like to show 7am to 10pm thus allowing the rest of the day to be less cramped vertically on my screen.  I don't want to see all the grayed out hours which are
    outside of business hours.  How can I do this?

    Right click on the time scale and choose the next smaller scale. It may not help much since 7 -10 is a fairly long period, although with 30 min and the ribbon minimized, i see 7a - 11p on a 24" monitor. You may need to set 7 as the start of your business
    day. If you have it set later in options, outlook will start the day at the later time.
    I have screenshots here -

  • Windows Server's "Components Services" and "Regedit" permissions are grayed out for my Admin Account

    I am working with Developers who are using TFS to do their work and they suddenly get authentication error when they are connecting to TFS remotely through Visual Studio.
    When I checked Event Viewer, this is the error I am getting.
    "The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {000C101C-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} and
    APPID {000C101C-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} to the user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE SID (S-1-5-20) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC).
    This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool."
    By checking through the "component services" to edit the permissions, I found that they were grayed out.
    I moved to "regedit" next to try to enable the permissions from there, went to edit those keys....
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AppID\{000C101C-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\{000C101C-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
    And found that it was not giving me access to edit it !!
    What is the fix for this issue ?

    There will be another similar event logged at a similar time, which you will need to correct, but first you need to adjust the Registry permissions for this {000C101C-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} [MSIserver] COM problem.
    It's similar to these [SharePoint] errors: grant yourself/admins permission to this key, then you can apply the needed corrections via Component Services admin tool for the TFS/VS COM problem.

  • Photoshop CS6 preferences and scrubby zoom are grayed out on Cintiq 13HD but not on my laptop?

    So basically I got a new Cintiq 13HD and apart from finding out that there's screen rotating issues for lefties, there's also some Photoshop issues.
    Scrubby zoom is my favorite zooming tool, and when I opened Photoshop on the Cintiq the option was grayed out. I Google this and it tells me to go to preferences but that's grayed out too. It works perfectly fine and not grayed out on my laptop however, so I'm not sure what I can do about this.
    This may well be a Wacom problem and not an Adobe one, but I said I'd ask here.

    Hi Emily
    We don't have as many Cintiq users on this forum as you might think, and most of use would be guessing when trying to think, so you might do better asking on the Wacom Cintiq forum  However, my own experiences using the Wacom forums have not been favourable.
    So I'll start with that guessing process, and my first guess is that Photoshop is only installed on the laptop, and that the Cintiq has to be connected to it?  If that is the case, you need to tell us what the laptop is, and its operating system and version.
    I understand that the much more expensive Cintiq Companion operates as a stand alone device, but this is not relevant to your problem.
    You probably need to make sure your laptop's video card driver is fully up to date from the card makers website, and that our Cintiq has the most up to date driver.
    BTW  A very quick Google tells me that Mac systems with Mavericks have had issues with your tablet.

    Pretty much everytime I am working on a document in Photoshop, something happens and

  • All options in iWeb are grayed out!

    This might be a stupid noob question, but when I first launch iWeb, it gave me a bunch of options to choose different templates and create on my own page. Now when launch iWeb, all the options are pretty much grayed out. The only option to choose from under "File" is "Close". Just about all the other options under the other menus are grayed out as well. Any help would be appreciated.

    The only thing that I have heard other people try that has worked more times than on chance alone is to delete the iWeb application and then reinstall iWeb 1.0 from your iLife or recovery disks. Then update to 1.1.1 via Software Update.

  • Step into and other debugging items are grayed out in ISE debug menu in PS4.0

    hi friends
    i don't know why things go wrong for me
    it's about 3 hours that i am googling & studying documents on how to use Debugger in PS 4.0 ISE
    the problem is i open my script in ISE, but when i open debug menu, step over,
    step into, step out, stop debugger and many other items on debug menu in ISE are
    gray out.
    ( my script contains about 20 commands)
    i need to run my script in line by line method (step into)
    but its gray out  :-(
    i studies many pages regarding powershell debugger but none of the mentioned first enabling debugger ( i think maybe it's off by default)
    am i on the right way ? is debugger feature by default off in PS 4.0 ISE? is this what debugging items are gray out?
    i looked for a cmdet to enumerate the current state of ISE debugger (on or off) but unfortunately didn't find anything.
    another confusion: is it necessary to run the entire script at least one time so that step into feature be available to use?
    is yes, that's too bad. i want first examine my script line by line
    any help please
    thanks in advanced

    Unless you have break points inserted and the script actually running, then those options will be greyed out. You need to first insert your break point, and then run the script. Once the code where the break point is going to be executed, the script
    will stop there allowing you to step into or out of

    Hi clayman
    thanks for your answer. useful
    after examining many different states finally i discovered the Hidden rule which i didn't find this on the net.
    the rule is:
    when we want to examine our entire script line by line ( step into our script), we must create a line breakpoint on the
    first line of the script &
    then press F5, now the items on the debug menu are available such as step into
    i wrote this for people who encounter such problem but after lots of search on the internet, they find no document describing this

  • Why are Aperture Add Effect options grayed out?

    Hello. I just bought a new iMac and moved all my data in from a Time Capsule. I frequently select "all images" and use the Quick Fixes option within Add Effect under the photos tab on the top left corner of the screen to run a batch process. But now when I try it all of the options are grayed out. I can highlight a couple of images and the option is available where normally running a batch is a non-issue. Thanks in advance for any ideas and help.

    But now when I try it all of the options are grayed out.
    Are all Adjustments greyed out, or only the effects in the in the "Effects > Quick Fixes" menu? And does it only happen, when you are trying to adjust more than one image?
    Check these possible reasons for disabled adjustments:
    Are you in Quick Preview mode? Then no adjustments will be available at all.
    If the Quick Preview button is highlighted, disable it.
    Do you have "Primary only" enabled? (the framed "1" button to the left of the Quick Preview button). Then deselect it.
    Hello. I just bought a new iMac and moved all my data in from a Time Capsule.
    How did you restore from your Time Capsule?
    Are your images showing any "arrow" badges?

  • Transferred itunes library from Windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. plugged in 3rd gen Ipod. Ipod icon appears along with playlists, music etc. Songs are grayed out and won't play. Please help!

    I recently transferred itunes library from windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. The transfer was successful, however when I plug my 3rd gen Ipod Nano into the new PC, the Ipod icon appears along with the music, playlists, etc. The songs are shown but are 'grayed out' and wont play or sync.The 'Devices & Printers' window in new PC shows icon for Ipod driver & is OK. The icon for the Ipod appears but depicts a delta shaped warning icon that states that the Ipod is'not operating properly'. Tried troubleshooting. The troubleshooting message states the the Ipod is 'disconnecting'. Can you help me with this problem?        

    Then, I dropped the entire itunes file from the old PC (XP) into an empty external drive.
    That "itunes file from the old PC"?  Is that the iTunes folder, from the old PC, that was in the user home folder's Music folder?
    All of the library, playlists, etc. from the ipod as they always have been are shown, by they are 'grayed out' and will not open or play.
    That's on the iPod, correct?  Are all of your old playlists in iTunes, from the old PC, still there in iTunes on the new PC?  Are the songs in iTunes still playable?
    This document provides the steps to transfer a complete iTunes library between two computers.  See the section called External drive.
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer - Apple Support
    There are many steps, but this is a summary.  (1) On the old PC, consolidate all of your iTunes data into the iTunes folder.  (2) Copy this iTunes folder to the external drive.  (3) On the new PC (that has iTunes installed but NOT running), replace its existing iTunes folder with the one from the old PC (on the external drive).  When you run iTunes, it uses the iTunes folder from the old PC, and it should look like iTunes on the old PC (with all the playlists, ratings, play count, etc.), and your iPod will see the iTunes library as the same iTunes library (because it is the same library).
    If you did something different, and the old PC is still accessible, you may want to try it using the method from the linked document.
