Start movie with title clips while keeping background sound?

I have 4 to 5 title slides I want to show before the video kicks in. I want to start the audio from the video while the title slides are playing, and then when the title slides are done playing have my kids voices continue right on with the video.
Can this be done?
Thanks,
Phil

OK Cutaway enables you to drag and drop video or slides or photos onto another video, etc.
You, on the other hand are just adding a title.
I would suggest that you make your title in Keynote, Powerpoint, or similar tool and then save it as a JPEG file. You can drag and drop that on the video clip.
Another thing you might try, but I haven't tried this myself, would be to make a still frame out of the title you created on a background in iMovie. Try moving your cursor to the title, then right-click/add freeze frame. Right-click on the freeze frame and select Reveal in Finder. You may see a JPG file that you can make a copy of. Then drag this copy and drop it on your video.

  • Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account?

    Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account? My family shares one I tunes account but it would be nice to be able to have a different I cloud for family member. Is there a way to do this. Because the I cloud part on the setting on the phone and I pad are greyed out on the phones so you can't change the user.

    If they are greyed out then usually this means that the account is not validated on that device.  The Delete Account button at the bottom should still work and allow you to remove the current account form the iCloud Section of Settings.
    To answer your question, yes.  There are four places you can use an Apple ID on an iOS device:
    Settings > iCloud
    Settings > Messages
    Settings > FaceTime
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores
    The iTunes & App Stores is the only one you want to use a shared (family) Apple ID account.  The other three you will want a unique Apple ID for that person to prevent info merging or messages getting shared, etc.

  • How can I insert an image into an mov file in iMovie while keeping the background music?

    I have a short MOV file movie clip that has background music but one of the images (it's a static element with text) is incorrect. How can I replace the image but keep the backgroup the same? Also what size would the image need to be to properly fit?

  • Kdenlive not rendering with title clip

    After doing a system upgrade kdelive will no longer render my project, which rendered fine before the upgrade. After I click render, it either gets stuck in "waiting" or it gives an error saying that rendering crashed. If I turn off the title clip, rendering proceeds as normal. Looking around I saw some people with similar problems fixing it by running kdenlive as root, but in my case that didn't solve anything. Anyone have any ideas?
    The kdenlive profile I'm using is HD 1080p 59.94fps and I'm trying to render an H.264 video (although trying other formats encounters the same problem).
    Some relevant package info:
    [root@labby ~]# pacman -Qs kdenlive
    local/kdenlive 0.9.6-2
    A non-linear video editor for Linux
    [root@labby ~]#
    [root@labby ~]# pacman -Qs ffmpeg
    local/ffmpeg 1:2.1.1-1
    Complete and free Internet live audio and video broadcasting solution
    local/gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 0.10.13-1 (gstreamer0.10-plugins)
    Gstreamer FFMpeg Plugin
    [root@labby ~]#
    [root@labby ~]# pacman -Qs mlt
    local/mlt 0.9.0-5
    An open source multimedia framework

    Have you upgraded the system?
    I had this same problem until yesterday, only kdenlive did not render at all, with or without title clip. Googling about it, I think it was some kind of conflict with mlt and opencv. Opening kdenlive as root did not work for me. I initially downgraded to the previous version of mlt (0.9.0.1 if I remember cforrectly); with that I could render, but only without title clips present. Solution came with last update of opencv (and re-upgrade of mlt).
    Also, while I was looking up this problem, I read about a similar bug being related to the sound, and installed ladspa (just in case all the previous doesn't completely solve your problem).

  • Resizing clips while keeping good resolution?

    hey folks,
    this might be pretty basic but is there a way I to make clips smaller without lessening the quality? I'm trying to layer four clips to have one clip in each corner all playing at once. I tried reducing the scale to 50% and I also tried using the crop tool to resize the clips but both of these attempts made the clips pretty grainy. any suggestions? thanks

    Yes, this is easy in iMovie.
    First go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
    Next, make sure your long track with the audio you want is in the Project.
    Now, drag the short other clips or photos to the project and drop them on the frame of video (in the long clip) where you want them to start. When a pop-up menu appears, choose CUTAWAY.

  • Replace existing footage with new footage, while keeping chapter markers ?

    I have prepared my DVD with menus and chapter markers etc ready for burn.
    I just noticed that my edit is wrong. Is their a way to replace exiting edit with the new one ? while maintaining chapter markers ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Replacing content like that almost always results in problems trying to encode/multiplex the project. You need to start a new project and reinsert your chapter marks. Sorry.

  • How do I move iPhotos to iCloud while keeping events intact?

    Can I move most of my iPhoto library to iCloud to free up space on my MacBook?  If so, how?  I want to maintain the "metadata" - events, albums, etc.  Once the photos are stored in iCloud, how do I access them

    Photostream photos will only stay in photostream for 30 days and you can only have a thousand photos in photostream at any time. On top of which any photos in photostream on your Mac will take up just as much room as being in iPhoto only.

  • Encore chapter markers which move with clip

    Problem: Encore chapter markers which move with clip
    CS4 Production Suite
    XP Pro SP3
    I have 9 sequences with each containing 4 Encore chapter markers. As expected in the real world, the end users continually want edits to the sequences. If I razor out a piece of a clip in the sequence, the Encore chapter markers stay fixed to the time ruler and do not move with the clip. As a result, one has to manually move each Encore chapter marker to re-align with the proper location on a clip. This is time consuming and makes no sense. Is there anyway for the Encore chapter markers to act like clip markers so they move with edits?
    If not, does someone have a plugin which would look at the Encore chapter markers in a sequence and place corresponding clip markers on Video 1. After editing, the plugin could re-align the Encore chapter markers with their respective clip markers.

    What is needed are Encore Chapter Clip Markers so Encore markers follow the clip. Just as you would move the current-time indicator to the frame where you want an Encore chapter point and then right click (Windows) in the time ruler and choose the type of marker, a new context menu item "Encore Chapter Clip Marker" would be available which would place an Encore chapter marker on the clip in the currently selected video track. With this, one could edit the sequence and know the Encore chapter point is still at the same frame of the clip.
    I encourage others to either copy this feature description or their own version and submit it to the Feature Request Page for Premiere.
    Feature Request Page
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    One should submit this Feature to both Premiere and Encore since both are effected. By the way, Encore has a Feature Request user form you may also want to submit this to. Premiere does not appear to have a Feature Request user form so I used the Feature Request Page mentioned above.

  • Kdenlive fail rendering if title clips or images are in the project

    Hi.
    Thats what happen if I try to render a project with title clips or images inserted, whatever is the output that I choose. If I hide title clips and images, the project renders
    I get a popup that says
    Rendering of /home/pathtooutputfile aborted, resulting video will probably be corrupted
    And what I see in the error log is a little different with the output I chose:
    If I choose mp4 I get
    [libmp3lame @ 0xb0510e20]
    Channel layout not specified
    [mp4 @ 0xb050ae40]
    Encoder did not produce proper pts, making some up.
    If mpeg2
    Channel layout not specified
    [mpeg @ 0xb050ae40]
    VBV buffer size not set, muxing may fail
    If vob
    Channel layout not specified
    [ac3_fixed @ 0xb0510e60]
    No channel layout specified. The encoder will guess the layout, but it might be incorrect.
    If mov
    [mov @ 0xb050ae40]
    Encoder did not produce proper pts, making some up.
    I'm going crazy (a month ago everything worked fine).
    Any suggestions?
    I search and found this http://www.kdenlive.org/forum/rendering … lip?page=2 but no way (and I don't know if it is my issue)

  • How can I compensate for what a transition takes from a title clip?

    I'm putting together, in iMovie 4, a slideshow, consisting entirely of clips from the Photo Pane. I imported my clips to the Viewer, then added cross-dissolve transitions, except where I wanted to create a title. Some clips have the Ken Burns Effect.
    Here's the problem: after I add a title clip, then add transitions in front & back of it, the title clip's duration reduces. With the title highlighted, I go back into the Title Pane and increase its duration, but the transition bleeds off the increase, as it re-renders, every time. There's no problem updating a photo clip between two dissolves.
    The cross-dissolves are about 1:20 in duration. I want my title clips to be about 2:10 or so. There's also the problem with title clips that their total duration is a combination of speed and pause. So adjusting their duration is complicated, once I get the total duration I want, but then have to try compensating for what the transition will take away.
    Has anyone solved this problem for themselves, & if so, what do they suggest?
    HAPPY NEW YEAR!
    David

    What if you put a photo down for a set duration, and
    then put the same photo down back to back with the
    first one, and use the second one to make the
    transition with? Then of course, use a "transition"
    photo for the next clip, and then back to back with
    it, with a secondary clip of the same photo to last
    the desired duration before you go on to the next
    clip, with a third but same photo dedicated to make
    the transition with? And so on...
    Your suggestion has helped me in other ways by introducing me to the concept of adding clips to solve problems. I won't get into the details. Lennart, some time ago, suggested the same thing in another context, which worked, but I didn't transfer that knowledge, until now. Thanks.

  • While working in iMovie, computer shut down and all imported clips from that project disappeared. The project still existed, with titles, but all video clips were gone from the movie as well as the computer library.

    Clips were imported from SD card into iMovie project. While working on the project, computer shut down. When restarted, all clips from that event were no longer in the project, or in the computer library. Project existed, with titles, but blank spaces exist where clips had been.

    OH MY GOD! This EXACT thing just happened to me! It didn't save my event and didn't show the date in the iMovie library but if I look under all projects, the project is there. Except that there are little blank place holders where all my clips were. Also the title of the project has a little yellow "!" symbol next to it which I can only assume means that the file is corrupted.
    I can't believe it destroyed like 8 hours of work!
    I have a 15" mid 2011 MBP and Mavericks OS.

  • While trimming a clip in my timeline, the entire timeline moves with my trim. How can I stop that and leave a gap in-between clips?

    While trimming a clip in my timeline, the entire timeline moves with my trim. How can I stop that and leave a gap in-between clips? Also when I use my blade it only leaves a dotted line in the clip. How can I make that a solid line? I do a lot of flickering in my videos and don't need that some what of a snapping effect while I edit. Please help me someone. I believe i upgraded from FCP 10.0.1 to 10.0.3 and before it never did this.

    Mark an In point and an Out point (which creates a Range) and hit the forward delete key (Replace with Gap.) On a MacBook, you'll probably need to hold down the Fn key and type the Delete key (or, I think you might be able to use Shift-Delete as the same command). On an iMac/Mac Pro keyboard, it's the key just to the left of 'end' or the next key above the left arrow key.
    You can use the Range tool (hold down the R key and click drag over your clip) or the Blade tool to cut at the in and out (then select the cut and replace with gap).
    You can also go into Commands > Customize (command-option-K) and assign a different key to Replace with Gap.
    If you need to ripple edit the ends (cut), create a small section that is Gap, and hold down the T key while you use the mouse to click drag both ends (double sided trim cursor) of the cut.
    Don't worry about the dotted line blade... That just lets you know that the frames on either side of the cut are continuous, or sequential — nothing has been moved yet. Once frames from either side of the mark have been cut, it becomes a full fledged cut resembling a separate clip.

  • White background with titles

    when I want to put a title on top of a movie clip imported into imovie, i keep getting a white background. it knocks out the video. It looks OK before I drap the title onto the video. when finished processing, I get the title and a white background. also i have black background unchecked.

  • Why is FCPX freezing repeatedly while moving title clips?

    Hello to all.
    I am facing an exasperating situation. I am at the tag end of a project and I find that FCPX is freezing whenever I try to relocate a title. Have been forcrd to repeatedly force quit! Have trashed the preferences repeatedly, have restarted and even shut down the computer, have deleted thumbnail data, but, FCPX refuses to work.
    Have read other posts in which one gentleman facing a similar problem was able to shift his titles with the inspector window closed. In my case, his method of surmounting the problem has not worked.
    Right now I am minded to do this:
    open FCPX once again, delete the existing titles, accurately place new titles and renter the text. Shall let you know the progress.
    Until then, if there is some useful input in this totally frustrating matter, I would be too happy to lap it up!
    Thanks in advance.

    An update.
    I have done this: copy the 'problematic' section of the project into a new project and have tried to edit the title clips in the new project...but this too was not of help.
    I noticed that the FCPX would freeze only when a playback is attempted with the clip selected. But it would not whimper were I to move the clips, extend or shorten them.
    Upon this realisation, making a 'crude' assessment based upon the audio waveforms, I did my 'rough' editing of the titles...and, the finished work appeared 'decent' enough. The flaws would be certainly noticed by seasoned viewers.
    While pondering over this matter, I have this hunch that this erratic behavior of FCPX could have been triggered by my doing this: I had need of placing many titles in the project, and all of the text had to be given [almost] the same size fonts, tracking, face color, outline color and width. I had in an earlier thread asked whether there was any shortcut by which one could get all these parameters into the text without having need to edit each title individually. In that thread I learnt that one needed to do such a 'custom title' in Motion, which I do not have. In a moment of 'carelessness', acting against my better judgment, I did this 'easy' way of gettting things done: copy one title which had been editied and paste it at the required spot on the timeline; this done, I would delete the earlier text and replace it with the new one.
    I guess that resorting to this 'easy shortcut' had forced me  to take the 'hard long route'!
    Whether this 'logic' of mine regarding the origin of the problem is correct or not, I sincerely hope that Apple would give its fans the happiness of easily adding preset parameters such as font size, face color, outline color and width etc. to one's text from within FCPX itself.
    I would also like to hear from other forum members regarding this seriuos matter. From other posts I understand that I am not unique in facing this problem but others too have faced it. For those to whom videomaking is a hobby [I am not one of them], having to face or pass through this kind of problem may not affect their careers adversely, but for those who are professionals [I am not one of them!], whose livelihoods and reputations are at stake, facing this problem would be the equivalent of smelling one's goose being cooked!

  • How to store movie contents while keeping same music library

    Pretty much what i wanna do is that to save music in my computer but keep my movie contents in external hard drive. How do i do this?
    Thanks in advance

    Put the movies on the external drive.  Hold down the option key while dragging them to an iTunes window which will leave the files where you put them. Of course the movies will show as broken links iif you do not have the external turned on when starting iTunes, but the links will repair themselves if you turn on the drive and restart iTunes.
    My preferred method is to make a separate library for movies and store this on the external drive.  To do that, start iTunes with the option key held down.
