Trouble using effects

I have a video which Im trying to use effects on. When I use various effects, I can see them in the 'preview' window, but I cant get them to stick when I export them into iDVD or even when I try to watch the movie in iMovie.

Select the clip in the Timeline to which you wish to apply an effect.
Choose an effect in the Effects Pane.
Click the "Apply" button.
A much more thorough step-by-step is in your iMovie Help system. Just call it up and look for "Using video effects to create special interest or looks in a movie".
There's a whole lot more there too.
Cheers,
David

  • Trouble using effects on text...

    When I select my text then go to        EFFECTS   SKETCH   TORN EDGES       I get the effect that I like with my text but I have 2 problems. First the text has white around the edges instead of being transparent  & secondly the text can only be black & I would really like it in color. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! (have 5.5 if it matters)

    You can do it but it is a bit of a pain.
    It involves using a copy of the text and making an opacit mask that is not clipped  or inverted and another that is clipped and inverted.
    The latter is used to add the color to the text, the former is used to mask what ever you are placing behind the color version.
    Like such
    The former you place your text with the effect applied over a color shape say rectangle
    then go to the Transparency Panel and select aboth and from the flyout choose Make Opacity Mask, make certain it is clipped and inverted. The text has to be on top of the color field.
    Before yoy make the mask copy and pasre the text behind both the color shape and the original text
    then place what ever you want the colored text to be on top of and make certain that are and or image is behind the txt you copied and pasted behind.
    Now select the copied Text and the art that will be behind the colored text and go agin tothe Transparency Panel and from the flyout choose Opacity mask make this time do not clip it or invert it.

  • Unwanted noise when using effect?

    So I am VERY new to Logic, and I finally figured out how to record audio. I am trying to use the effects in the library, but they don't do anything except add unwanted noise to my recording.
    Also, how can I turn off an effect after I have selected it in the library? (Sorry, very new to logic)

    Well, the trouble with effects is that it´s so easy to use add them just because you have them available. A chain of effects will probably do a lot of things that you may not want it to do.
    Better to click the squares under Insert a Channel strip and chose the effect you really want or need...
    Sorry if this contribution opens up a can of worms; the Instruments and Effects manual is really good. And searchable.

  • Trouble using the Web-based utility

    I have a WRT54G wireless router, V8, firmware 8.0.0. It is Ethernet-connected to a Windows Vista machine running SP1.
    I am having trouble using the Web-based utility. I can access it but cannot make any changes.  For instance, if I change the settings on the Setup page and click "save", I get a "This webpage is not available"
    I tried updating the firmware and got the same message. Disabling my personal firewall has no effect. Resetting the router from the button on its rear panel has no effect. I tried using with both Windows IE and Google Chrome browsers and got the same result.
    I have been using this router without problem for months using a a Windows XP machine. This problem may be associated with my changing it to the current Windows Vista machine. I no longer have the Windows XP machine.
    Please help me. Thank you and Happy New Year!

    I spent a full day unsuccessfully trying to make it work, including numerous Linksys utilities downloaded from the site. I could not conjure any support on Linksys chat, and the live body on the Linksys tech support line wanted to charge me $29 for his help.
    I finally succeeded by purchasing and installing a Netgear wireless router ($44, Staples) that came up flawlessly the first time. The Linksys device is in my trash.

    McAfee SiteAdvisor is no longer working with my Safari 8.0.  I never had trouble using it with Safari before this latest version.  Has anyone else had this problem?  I contacted McAfee support and they said nobody else is reporting this issue.

    Wow, life is certainly tough for you.

  • I'm having trouble using Adobe Reader

    I'm having trouble using or uninstalling Adobe Reader, i get a message when the programme has been anitiated which says Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close, i went on to Adobe's website and it said try uninstalling Adobe Reader and then re-install it as this sometimes works, i tried un-installing it from the Add or Remove programme but that didn't work either as i got another message telling me that the patch package could not be verified and to make sure i have permission.

    Dear Mylenium.
    Sorry i don't quite understand your reply, What do you need to know?

  • HEEEEEELP - trouble using Apple ID

    Some time ago i changed my e-mail adress and therefore i had to change my Apple ID to the new e-mail. So far so good.
    I now have trouble using my Apple ID on my iPhone. It automatically logs on the old Apple ID, but there is no code for that Apple ID anymore. When i use the password i used with my old Apple ID, it will not accept (i have not changed it - only the "username")
    When i go into my Apple ID account, the old e-mail adress is deleted (only the new e-mail adress is in my account), so how can it be, that the old Apple ID is the one my phone wants to use?
    I have tried changing my password on the old account, by pressing "fotgot password", but the mail to reset my Apple ID is sent to my new e-mail and therefore it is the password to my new Apple ID i'm changing.
    I hoped it only was a problem because the old phone had already been logged in with the old Apple ID, but i have just recieved my new iPhone 5s and now i can't get all my previous purchases and stuff to the new phone, because it also wants to use the old Apple ID, and i still have no password.
    It is also causing my iCloud to not work proberly.
    What to do? Hope someone can help me.

    I just skipped the part of the setup with my old e-mail, and did the setups manually when my new phone was done setting up. Now I can use my Apple ID and iTunes and iCould account for the first time in months.
    Thank you for your help!

  • Graduated filter and Adjustment brush always use "last used effect"

    In my workfow I mostly use opposite effects in the Graduated filter and Adjustment brush.
    Lightroom maintains "least used effect" even when changing tools.
    Is it possible that each tool retains its last used effect?
    In my workflow I mostly use opposite effects when using Adjustment brush en gradient filter. Changing the effects wastes a lot of time when editing hundreds of images.

    I agree that it would be nice if the individual tools remembered their own last used preset.
    Unfortunately LR does not work that way.

  • Trouble using AirPlay between iMac and AppleTV

    I'm running OS X Lion 10.7.5 and I'm having trouble using AirPlay between iMac and AppleTV (2nd Gen).  It used to work fine, but for some reason it just stopped responding.  I can see my media on my iMac from AppleTV and I can see AppleTV from my iMac when attempting to use AirPlay.  However, when I try to pull or push media from my iMac to AppleTV it just stalls and never loads.  AirPlay works fine from my iPhone and iPad with AppleTV - it's limited to my iMac only. 
    I'm using a Netgear R7000 wireless router and a Netgear AC120 WiFi Extender and as such, I have 4 available wireless networks (2 from the router and 2 from the extender / 2 - 2.4 GHz and 2 - 5 GHz).  My internet access is great and my network performance is good across the board.  All of my software/firmware is up to date (iMac, AppleTV and router/extenders). I've tried all combinations (mixing/matching) all of my wireless networks between devices (iMac/AppleTV) - nothing makes a difference (again, AirPlay works fine between my mobile devises/AppleTV).  Netgear Genie has been making changes to my network settings as new firmware has been installed in both the router and extender.  I'm guessing there is something screwy going on with the network settings on the iMac, but I can't figure it out.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I'm glad you got it all working. Out of interest, how do you (or your son) connect to the internet now? Is it just a dial-up connection? If it is, I am sure you know that, even if you get the Apple TV to share the connection, the speed will seriously limit the use of many of the Apple TV's features.
    The Airport Extreme is a great router but you will need a DSL or cable modem as well as it won't connect to the internet without one. There are many great (and cheaper!) combined modem/routers available if your son wants to get a high-speed network up and running at lower cost. Any other computers, phones, games consoles etc that you may have in the house can then all connect easily.
    I hope that I have helped a little and I will look out for future posts in case I can help again.

  • Trouble using facetime on another device with same apple id

  • Trouble using Safari on start-up with pop-up error

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble using Safari. Every time I open up the application, a small screen popped up saying "Error- Failed to load the FastBrowserSearchPlugin plugin.* -[BrowserWindowController currentWebView]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7aa570". What can I do to get rid of this issue. I am assuming it has something to do with the Fast Browser Search engine located on the top right of the safari app. Help me please! Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

    HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
    You need to uninstall that plugin.
    Go here for instructions on how to remove it.
    http://help.fastbrowsersearch.com/
    I think you'll find it in: ~/Library/Internet Plugin-ins

  • Trouble using Java on my MacBook

    I have tried everything and I am STILL having trouble using Java and Javascript on my MacBook. I have attempted to delete and reinstall Java. I have run the update. I have checked that both Java and Javascript are turned on in Safari. I am unable to use Java and Javascript on several websites. For an example, I am unable to use the photo uploader on Facebook.com. I am using a MacBook with 2.2 GHz Intel chip and OSX 10.5.3

    Hi all,
    I've got probably the same problem. Got a MacBook (2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, black) and did the Apple Migration App to get all data from a PowerBook (with Leopard on it). Did all updates.
    Safari and Firefox don't want to show any JavaApplet.
    Is there a problem between old PowerPC and Intel-Plattform.
    Maybe it would be a good idea to reinstall Java, but how?
    Thanks for suggestions!

  • Im having trouble using Emoji on some apps since i downloaded ios5... Anyone else experiencing this?

    Im having trouble using Emoji on some apps since i downloaded ios5... Anyone else experiencing this? Ive tried every thing deleting emoji and apps and re-instaling to no sucsess?? Any help would be great thanks!

    YES! I am having a lot of AppStore problems since iOS 6. My 2 main issues are:
    1. AppStore crashes constantly or will just sit & spin then does nothing at all.
    2. If I search for a specific App, making sure my spelling is correct, AppStore will NOT bring the app up. Instead, it will bring up unrelated apps.
    Podcasts app does the same thing, as well as jumbling up dates. Very impossible to find the correct episode.
    APPLE, please tell me you are reading this and that a fix is quickly under way!!
