Trouble with short still image durations

I know this is probably stupid and something simple I'm missing ...
I have a series of digital stills that I can import to the timeline etc etc
but
I cannot find anyway to make the duration of each less than one second. Even if I enter less, it defaults back to one second. I need these to fire one after another really quickly.
TIA

The still image duration is set by whatever you entered in FCP's preferences. Change the preference setting to whatever duration you need, then import the images into your project and drop them on the Timeline.

How do i make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to put the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. Any help?

How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?

Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
See this iMovie Help topic:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.

Adjusting still image duration length in iMovie 5.0.2

Hi is it possible to adjust still image duration in 5.0.2 by dragging from the end of the image 'clip'? I am sure I could do in iMovie4 and I can do it in iMovie HD 6 but a version of 5 that is on a project laptop just refuses to do it. Is this a version issue?
Thanks

Hi Karl,
YES! Thank you. That was it! I think I had stumbled on that previously but I couldn't remember it. Anyway thankyou. I'll be able to pass that on to all of the Digital Storytelling project participants.

Match the photos to the size of the Sequence is one way.
Scale to Fit is another (Right Click Option)
Efects > Motion>Scale... is another

How to make a podcast with one still image with iMovie 09

I'm using trying to transfer my podcasts to Vimeo. I've been using iWeb to create a person web site with video and podcasts. I have embedded Vimeo with "html snippet widge." I want to do the same thing with audio, however Vimeo only accept "video" files.
In my attempt to work around Vimeo's video issues, I had the idea to use iMovie 09 to create a "video file" using a single still image with my audio podcast play in the background. The single image would be consistent for the entire length of the audio. It seems simple...one still image file and one audio file.
All of my audio files are less than 45 minutes in length. The problem is that when I insert an image in iMovie I can't get it to last for more than 10:00 minutes of my podcast. I've had to drag the same image over several times, extend each image's length to 10:00 minutes until I have enough images to last the full length of the audio file.
I'm sure there's a simple way to do this with one image, used one time, and have the audio added.
Anyone understand my situation and have a good idea?

The most efficient method would be for you to do this in iMovie 6. You can download a version if you don't already have it on your computer. http://supportdownload.apple.com/download.info.apple.com/AppleSupport_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/Mac_OSX/downloads/061-3532.20070807.nq3ER/iMovieHD6.dmg
Put all your clips into a new iMovie project, in the order you wish them to play. Use the chapters tab and add chapter markers for each clip (except the first one; iDVD will add that one for you). Close iMovie.
Open an new iDVD project. Use the Media tab, then Movies, to locate your new iMovie. Drag and drop it onto the main iDVD window, taking care not to drop it into a drop zone. You should then see the title of your movie and the two options: Play Movie (which will play all the clips sequentiallly) and Scene Selection (which will take you to submenu(s) where you can select which clip to view).

Problem with importing still images

When I import images for creating a time-lapse video, some of the images are automatically being rotated +90 degrees. If I go through an manually correct them, they end up not be in the correct position or the correct scale (even though scale says 100 for all of them).
How do I prevent the autmatic rotating of still images?
Thanks,
Ricky

Check its properties in Windows Explorer. If that shows it as 664x1000 then PRE is importing correctly and IrfanView is 'auto-correcting'.
I seem to recall that IrfanView does "non-destructive" Rotation, unlike PS/PSE, where the actual pixels are rearranged, and are exported in that condition, with Save/Save_As. Might be something in the IrfanView Rotation scheme? Just a guess on my part, too, but I would anticipate that the Rotation in IrfanView is getting in the way, as other programs do not see the full effect of that scheme.
Not sure what "image viewers" are installed with Windows, but I would Open one of those problem files in, say Windows Paint, or Windows FAX Image Viewer, or something else than IrfanView to test.
Good luck,
Hunt

Only One Still Image Duration

Hello Folks,
I have shortened the clip before a still image and need the image to fill the gap. Right click and change duration is not working. If I change it on the clips motion tab, that changes the speed but does not give me a handle. Other posts have given methods that change all stills on the timeline which is not what I want. I want to change ONE only.
What am I forgetting?
Thanks,
Robert A. Ober

Yes, In the motion tab but as I said that changes the speed and does not give me handles. Ist there another place when it is in the viewer?
Yes. In the Duration field of the Viewer window (Video tab, upper left-hand corner). David S. didn't suggest changing the speed of the image ... he DID suggest changing it's duration.
Or right-click on the image in the Timeline and select DURATION from the contextual menu and make the change there.

Quick Time Pro Still images duration

I am using Quick Time Pro version 7.7.5 to edit video clips. I am adding a still image to the beginning of each clip for illustrative purposes but need to lengthen the amound of time the still image is displayed after it is attached to the video, preferably for about 5 seconds. How would I go about doing that?

This is where "add scaled" comes into play. A still image doesn't have any "time" but if you add it scaled to an audio track you can give it a duration.
Open any audio track in QuickTime Player Pro and make a five second selection. Paste that selection in a new player window and close the source file.
Make sure all of your image files match the dimensions used in your video before starting.
Open the first of your image files, select all (control-a) and copy (control-c).
Switch to the 5 second audio track, select all and "Add to Selection & Scale" from the Edit menu.
Open the Movie Properties window (Window menu) and "Extract" the video track. This is now your 5 second image file. Name and save the file and close the image audio mix file without saving.
Repeat for your other images.

Trouble with creating an image sequence in QT Pro 7.4.

I'm having trouble creating an image sequence in QT Pro 7.4(Windows XP). I have a folder containing a JPEG sequence (alternative a PICT-Image sequenz). I Open image sequence, choose the image-frequency and choose the first image, but QT created only the first image in a self-contained movie. But, the same images with the same procedure with QT Pro 7.2 on another Windows XP- PC created a correctly self-contained movie. Is this a bug in QT Pro 7.4?
Please help me and apologize for my bad english!

You have to revert to an older version of QT. After Effects users are having the same issue. Here's a link to a temporary fix (reverting back to older version):
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c05dee6
1) I downloaded QT 7.3.1 from the Apple Support Downloads website.
2) I downloaded Pacifist from their webiste
3) I installed Pacifist on my machine
4) I opened the QuickTime DMG file and drug the PKG file out of it
5) I launched Pacifist and dragged the QuickTime 7.3.1 PKG file onto the Pacifist window.
6) I clicked on "Contents of QuickTime531_Leopard.pkg" to select it in Pacifist
7) I choose "Install" from the Pacifist menu at the top of the window
It started installing and I chose "Replace" when ever it prompted me. You can actually click a little check box that says "Don't Keep Asking Me This" and then you don't have to click "Replace" a 1000 times.
9) I restarted my computer (Intel Quad-Core 3 Ghz) went to System Preferences>QuickTime and checked that I was now actually running QT 7.3. YES!!!

Setting Still Image Durations in Premiere Elements 8

I've been using Premiere Elements 4 for awhile and never did find a solution to a simple problem. Now I can't see any improvements worth anything in version 8 either.
I have, say, 100 jpgs. I want to create a slide show with, to start with, a constant duration of 10 seconds each.
If I just add them all I get a duration of 5 seconds each. There then seems to be no way to pick them in groups and change them to any other duration (a feature of a number of other DVD making programs).
I deleted all the jpgs from the sceneline. In preferences I set the duration to 350 frames (should be just over 11 seconds -- but way not allow me to pick seconds - which is after all the result I want). I readded all the jpgs from the project list and they didn't have 11 seconds duration (still 5). Do I have to wipe the whole project. Set the duration and reget all the media?
I've googled away for awhile but am too dumb to find an answer to what should be a very simple question.
I'm not clear I'm asking in the right place but I'm trying anyway.
Thanks for any help that anyone can be.
Paul

Paul,
The stills Duration setting has been Feature Request for some many versions now, and, as mentioned, just made it into PrPro with CS5. I would suggest filing that Feature Request for PrE, so that maybe it will be incorporated into PrE 9, due out in several months, if the normal life-cycle holds true.
I am with you on seeing little, to no need to upgrade from PrE 4 to PrE 8, but have to admit that I felt the same way about PrPro, which I use much more often. However, the changes in the CS5 suite (especially PrPro and AE), has me working to get a new workstation and then the full upgrade. There are enough enhancements to sway me completely, even at the expense of new hardware.
I do recommend Steve's articles on authoring in PrE, especially regarding the Menus. I've done a couple of articles in Tips & Tricks on modifying the Menu Sets, but Steve covers ALL topics, related to authoring. As I seldom do authoring in PrE, I have to go to his articles to "brush up," so I appreciate them greatly.
Good luck,
Hunt

Having trouble with full frame image

I want to make my image expand with the website and different screen sizes so it's always the full background. As you'll see on large screens it doesn't expand all the way and on the iPhone it doesn't as well. I've tried everything. I've stretched the box to both sides of the page as well as both top and bottom of page so you see the red appear around the box. I thought this would work. I've changed the page height from tall to short. I just can't figure out why it won't expand. Any suggestions?
as you'll notice at the bottom. I've made the background color of the land but where the water is it doesn't expand all the way.
as you can see on the phone it's worse and doesn't expand all the way
the site is www.montysbay.com/contact.html

Embed the image first:
[Embed(source="logo.gif")]
[Bindable]
public var imgCls:Class;
then assign it:
this.source = imgCls;

Trouble with re-sizing images/textboxes InDesign CS6

Has anyone had any problems re-sizing images or text boxes in InDesign CS6?
I have been doing it for months by selecting the corners and dragging them in or out but suddenly it's stopped working. The arrow no longer changes to a double arrow when I hover over the corner and all I can see is an hourglass when I hover over any type of frame.
I can resize images only be changing their percentage in the transform objects -> scale options.
I tried re-setting my preferences and it didn't help.
Please advise me if there is something else I can do.

Tried that and it didn't help.
The only thing I can think of is that there is something wrong or slow with my remote desktop connection which is affecting functionality. No one else seems to have had this problem.
Thanks for your effort though.

Please assist, i'm having trouble with seeing my images in adobe reader XI

I'm creating a presentation in google docs but when i download it as a pdf and view the file in adobe reader XI some of the photos that shows up perfectly in google docs is not appearing in adobe.
All i see is an empty box where the image should be with a red 'X' inside of it. This happens for quite a few images throughout the presentation.

I do not know Google Docs; is it Google that creates the PDF file? If so, you should ask Google what's happening.

Trouble with flash and image links

Hi
I have been using Dreamweaver for a while, but only for simple websites.
I have now started on a new site, using a template based on css, with two sidebars. I am new to using css, and are "learning by doing"
I wanted to use flash to make navigation buttons in the sidebar to the left, but when I put the flash into the box on the template it does not appear on the page in my browser, or it shows as a white field. So I moved the flash-file to the main part of the page, and it appears there. I have also attached links to the single buttons in the flash,when I made the flash-file, but they do not seem to work at all when I publish the site.
I gave up the project of using flash buttons as navigation and tried to use images instead in the sidebar. The problem then was that I get the blue borders around the linked images. I have found the solution to that of this forum, but as being new to the whole css thing I do understand how I can apply a rule, and where to do it.
My site is here: www.zookjempen.no/test
Here you can see my flash buttons in the middle of the page, but nothing happens when they are clicked. Originally I wanted these buttons on the left, where the white rectangle is, which is the same flashfile.
Could someone please try to explain to me why I get the white field instead of the buttons, and what I need to do to get the buttons to work when clicked?
As I said I am pretty new to css, so plain english would be great.
Thank you.

Thanks. I was thinking of doing screen captures and showing those. But, I fixed the problem.
Maybe it was my particular case, but it was sure screwed up. By recreating the Home page with the links at the top, checking to make sure it was OK, and then duplicating that page for remaining pages, I solved the problem.
Interesting though, even though my "Gallery" page was long ago deleted, if I change the name of a current page back to "Gallery", it gets screwed up again. (This, even though the page is working fine prior to the name change.) That's either my defective site or an iWeb bug.
