Transition and image duration times issue

I'm trying to put together an image slide show w/music, etc. I have iM08 and can't set my transition time to 2 seconds and the image time to 4 seconds to save my life. The adjustments seem to have a mind of their own. Is this a solvable problem in '09? My preference would be to have a 4 second transition and a 5 second image duration.
In iMovie preferences I have checked the box regarding time codes.
If this can't work for me, I will not buy the upgrade but rather find a 3rd party slide show program that will do what I want it to do.
Frustrating!
Thanks for any help.

Can't get that to set in Project Properties - have tried to set 4 seconds and 9 seconds repeatedly. I still have varying lengths of transitions and photo durations showing up. Any clues how to get this to behave?
I set the photo duration at 10 seconds, the transition duration at 3.15, and what I end up with is this:
Transition durations of 3:09 - 3:12 and photo durations at 3:11, give or take. That's the best I'm able to do from my limited perspective.
Can I get the audio to loop or do I just drop it into the slideshow again?
Any further thought?
Thanks!

  • Transition and Still Clip Time Adjustments Don't Work Correctly

    When I have a group of still photos and transitions in a movie along with a music track I can't seem to get the transitions or the clips to keep a time setting I apply using the "Transition Adjustments" drop-down menu.
    I put in 2.9s and when I click "Done" they all become 3.4s. When I try to change the transition time same thing, 0.9s becomes 0.6s.
    There must be something obvious I'm missing in the overall approach to times with a music clip or not? I tried removing the music clip entirely in case it was pinning the time of each clip cumulatively to the music, but same thing with no music.
    Any help?

  • Slideshow transitions speeds and slide duration

    Yet again I'm updating a site created in a previous version of Muse and run into problems. Can anyone enlighten me?
    The site - www.edinburghblue.co.uk - contains two slideshows. One contains the site background images and the second contains rotating text information.
    In the original Muse site both slideshows had a Transition Speed of 0.5 seconds and the image duration was set to 5 seconds. Both slideshow changed in sync.
    Since opening and updating the site in Muse v4.1 Build 8 - this morning - the slideshows are now out of sync. I've been phaffing around with the settings but the bottomline is that the site doesn't look as slick as it once did.
    Has anyone encountered the same issue? If yes, how did you resolve it?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Thanks for the compliment Malcolm.
    On the face of it the slides do look in sync but for me there's almost a half second delay between the two shows.
    In the previous version of the site the background image changed at exactly the same time as the text.
    If you look closely there now appears to be a slight delay.
    I'm aware that Adobe provided us with more controls over slideshow transitions, which was most welcome.
    I just wondered if there were any guidelines anywhere on how to use them.
    It may be a case that different bandwidths are causing this slight outage - but that's me speaking off the top of my head!
    I'll muck around with the settings a bit more and see if I can achieve the same effect as the site once had.

  • Default duration time for importing still images

    Hello all,
    Is there an easy way to change the default duration time for imported still images?
    I have thousands of images that I want to import to make a time elapsed movie. I would like for these images to have a duration of less than a second. I could do this individually, but it would take forever.
    Can the default duration time for imported images be changed?
    Thanks,
    Adam

    Hi
    Too long time I made anything serious in iMovie HD6 (altough a a very competent editor)
    (Took the FinalCut leap)
    As I remember (just tested) it - if photos are imported then it's a tedious labor
    to set duration - one at a time. No global function I can induce.
    BUT - I would put my photos into a separate folder in iPhoto so that they are easy
    to get in iMovie from audio/photo browser.
    Then I select (in iMovie) the first photo and double click on it to view it on canvas.
    Now I also get a small gray window where I can set size and duration.
    I select 01:00 (1 sec) in duration and Apply/Use.
    Then I selec the rest of the photos and drag them down to TimeLine after first
    photo. And they also get same duration of 01:00.
    Yours Bengt W

  • How to reorganize folders and photos based on image capture time

    I made the mistake of not carefully importing pictures from iPhoto and now have a bit of a mess. My photos show up in the iPhoto Library folder with the year/month/day (when viewing the Lightroom navigator) but then they seem in almost random order. Lightroom doesn't show them under any year/month/date. Is there any way to get Navigator to organize them like it organizes my new imports ? (YYYY/MM/DD etc). I may or may not have lost much of my iPhoto metadata. I was hoping Lightroom could just go through all the pictures (mostly JPG's) and just use the capture time to build it's database.
    I have one additional issue which is when I moved machines, Lightroom seems to have bad meta-data for many of my pictures. It's possible that i just put these photos in the wrong physical directory but again, I was hoping I could get Lightroom to just scan the image capture time and put the pictures back where they belong.

    do other kinds of files ever show up in that folder or just those pdf files?
    If the latter then it should be pretty simple. make a workflow consisting of a single action "print finder items" (or "print images") and save the workflow as a plugin for folder actions. then attach this folder action to the folder in question. to do that control-click on that folder in finder and go to more->attach a folder action.

  • Help with the error message that ADE is not allowed to copy a book onto my Nook. I have tried authorizing and unauthorizing many times--at wits end with this issue.

    Help with the error message that ADE is not allowed to copy a book onto my Nook. I have tried authorizing and unauthorizing many times--at wits end with this issue.

    I too am having the same problem. I have a new hard drive that was imaged from the old one and I'm trying to side load a book to my Nook Simple Touch.. I first installed ADE 4 then borrowed and downloaded a book from Overdrive. I tried a few times to delete and reauthorize both the computer and the Nook and each time I get an authorization error when I try to side load the book. I then found on the Nook forum that the Simple Touch and ADE 4 don't get along. So I uninstalled ADE 4 and installed ADE 3.
    I then followed this recommended procedure found on the forum: I deleted the Digital Editions folder from my Nook, launched ADE 3 and authorized the computer, then connected the Nook. For a few seconds, hovering the mouse over the setting icon for the Nook displayed everything on the context menu grayed out. But then it showed the context menu and I was able to display the Nook's authorization, which was the same as the computer's. Still get the same error side loading the book. Deleting and reauthorizing doesn't help.  And the Digital Editions folder is still missing from the Nook.

  • IOS4 update: podcasts cannot scrub and do not have duration times

    Following iOS4 update, a majority of the podcasts lost their duration times and cannot be scrubbed while playing. The 30 second rewind will send song to the beginning. Other music is fine, this is only related to podcasts. Did not affect podcasts broken into chapters. Help!

    Same issue for me, iPod 2nd gen. Many (but not all) podcasts had no duration info and no scrubber, Strangely, two podcasts did have duration info, and one did not within the same podcast "folder". Deleting all the podcasts in a folder and downloading from iTunes does fix the problem, but I also noticed that podcasts newer than around July 1, don't have this problem. Me thinks Apple has updated the metadata to correct this issue since then.

  • 4.2.2 upgrade from 4.1 and images location issue

    I've just upgraded from 4.1 to 4.2.2, and am having an issue with the referenced location of the images directory (/i/) resources. I am running apex listener on weblogic server, and have copied the new images into the i.war that I use. I have an unusual reverse proxy situation where my base URL includes a path, i.e., https://www.my.website.com/mysite/ is the URL that the proxy returns to the user, so my APEX addresses look like https://www.my.website.com/mysite/apex/f?101:1:::::, and my image directory references get put together like https://www.my.website.com/mysite/i/image.jpg.
    However, with the upgrade, one of the things that popped up was all of the datepickers in my application were changed to classic datepickers, which worked and displayed fine. When I change them to the new datepicker, the small calendar image doesn't show next to the field (red x), and when I look at the properties of the image, it's URL is https://www.mywebsite.com/i/asfdcldr.gif (no "/mysite/" path offset). ALL of the other images directory references seem fine, but not this. Has 4.2.2 changed how it composed the #HOST# when it's generating these new controls (same result when I make a datepicker from scratch)? Why do all of my other images directory references work? The only other problem that I'm seeing is that my charts no longer work, either. I used to have to hardcode my URL into the XML of the charts for them to work, but I don't see the URL referenced in the code anymore. Not sure if that's related, but that has always been an issue with my reverse proxy situation (I don't control the proxy server).
    Thanks in advance for any light anyone can shed on this,
    -warren

    With APEX 4.2, we've changed how charts are initialized to be JavaScript only, and as part of the changes, we no longer expose the region source for charts. See *4.8 Updated AnyChart Flash Charts* in the APEX 4.2 Release Notes, here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35121/toc.htm#CACEJBCD. So it's no longer feasible to hardcode a reference to your URL in the region source for a chart. If you have a reverse proxy, the CGI environment variables REQUEST_PROTOCOL, HTTP_HOST, SERVER_PORT, and SCRIPT_NAME, have to be correctly set to the public facing web server and not to the internal forwarding connection. If you execute the following query in SQL Workshop on your APEX instance, do you see the settings for the public facing web server?
    select owa_util.get_cgi_env('REQUEST_PROTOCOL'), owa_util.get_cgi_env('HTTP_HOST'), owa_util.get_cgi_env('SERVER_PORT'), owa_util.get_cgi_env('SCRIPT_NAME') from dual;Regards,

  • I have an Airport Extreme as my router and am using time capsule to extend the network in my new house. My ISP is only providing me 4-5 ip addresses and wants me to set up my router to issue out new ip addresses for all my devices.How do I fix this?Help

    They said I need to change my settings to NAT settings. I haven't been able to figure out or find anything. I have also spoken to Apple Support on the phone for hours without being able to figure out how to do this ( i don't think he knew much either lol.) Please help me because I've got about 15-20 devices in my house that require to be connected to the internet and this is just making things ridiculously slow and painful for me.
    Thanks!

    It is on DHCP & NAT under router mode yet my isp is still the one issuing ip addresses to my devices instead of the router issuing them

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • How to get my images always order by file name, and not by time of captur, in all the folders in the library?

    How to get my images always order by arquive name, and not by time of captur, in all the folders in the library?
    Sorry for the poor english, but im portugues.
    In the library we can change the order of classification of image by, time of capture, name of file etc... I'm wondering if its possible define to be always by the name of file.
    It ´s possible?
    And i have other question, in print label we have an option to auto rotate to feet in page to have the image using the maximum area in the page (auto rotate, zoom etc), its possible to change the orientation of the rotation to be always in  the other direction?

    The Muvos are USB Mass Storage devices and do not have the ability to display track information based upon ID3 tags.
    The Zens all read and display track info based upon ID3 tag information that is either gathered from an online source or entered by the end-user.
    If you want the track information displayed instead of the ID3 tag information, you could edit the ID3 tags and rename the title to whatever you have as the file name. Not sure why your file names would differ so much from the ID3 tag info though, almost all of my content has the same name for the filename as it does on the ID3 tag title.

  • Best way to print an image multiple times on same sheet and not lose quality when doing so

    Hello,
    I have the full subscription to Adobe Creative Suite, but am unfamiliar with almost all of the programs. I have used Photoshop a bit, but not too much.
    I have this project I do several times a year, and am sure there is a better way to do it.
    I am sent a colourful excel spreadsheet - a schedule. I print a bunch of copies full size, then need to print 8 copies on a single 8.5x11 piece of paper.
    I've tried several methods - but want to know what the best way to retain the best quality would be.
    The best I've done (and I'm not totally happy with) is to copy the image into Photoshop, save as a PDF, create 7 more copies then merge as a single PDF and print.
    I do find that the quality does suffer a bit.
    Can anyone suggest a better way?
    Thanks in advance.
    Amber

    With all the apps at your disposal, that is a long way around. Granted it is hard to not loose quality/data when scaling. But it makes sense to create the document to your liking, then create a new document that is 8.5" x 11" and place the original into it. Then using guides or alignment tools, duplicate that image.
    This allows you to have full control over the location of each image, and extra data needed like captions, names, etc. and how that data is formated.
    Luckily you have multiple programs that can accomplish this. Some are easier than others, some are more robust than others, etc. In the end it is what you are familar with and how much time you can spend on learning while getting the job done.
    Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign are all your go to programs from creating anything for print and they can be used for other media as well. But that is their strong suite, print.
    All three apps have their own dedicated forum on this site, so go ahead and mark them as your favorites as your questions for each need to be in their respective place.

  • Can I attach a link to one image and then use that linked image multiple times in my site?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to attach a link to an image and then use that image (with link attached) multiple times in my site.
    Thanks,
    Ally

    Use 'Find and Replace'>under the 'Edit' menu.
    Select from 'Find in'- Folder and browse to the folder your website files are kept in to select it.
    Search: Source Code
    In the Find box (but obviously use YOUR image code):
    <img src="images/imageName.jpg" width="200" height="200" alt="" />
    In the Replace box: (use YOUR link and image code)
    <a href="yourLink.html"><img src="images/imageName.jpg" width="200" height="200" alt="" /></a>
    Then select 'Replace All'
