What has happened to the green screen feature in version 9.4? Where did it go?

I have a shiny new desktop Imac and tried to access the green screen feature in Imovie that works fine on ver 9.2 that I have installed on my laptop, only to find the option no longer exists. Did they remove it??

It's part of the 'Advanced Tools' in iMovie. I think Advanced tools is turned off in a new iMovie install. To turn it on:
Go to the iMovie Menu > Preferences > Show Advanced Tools (make sure the box is checked)
When the advanced tools are turned on, you will see Green Screen appear as an option in the pop-up menu as you drag one video clip from your Events Library on top of any clip in your Project timeline.

  • Has anyone actually got the Green Screen feature to work?

    Has anyone actually got the Green Screen feature to work? I've been trying for about 8 hours, absolutely no success. I have followed the iMovie Help instructions and the examples on the internet, over and over again. I've tried every imaginable variation on the instructions. Nothing from my green movie shows up. The green in my video is pure green - 100% green, 0% red and 0% blue. Yet the non-green images in the video aren't getting displayed at all. Several other people have mentioned a similar problem on these forums and they are all "unanswered". Is that because this is an unsolvable problem? Is it an iMovie bug? Sigh. I'm a big fan of Apple but stuff like this gives them a bad name.

    After several more hours of diagnosis I have identified some conditions which can make Green Screen slightly work (but not much). The condition is as follows. The green screen clip must be carefully dropped at the beginning of a video clip, such that at least the first two seconds of the green screen clip (no less, but no more or the clip will become attached to the previous clip and then it's broken again) are displayed over the PREVIOUS video clip. But the green screen will not work on the previous clip, only on the second clip. So you will always lose the first two seconds of the green screen video. It took me a lot of experimenting to discover this anomaly.
    Clearly this is a bug, but since not all users on the internet experience this bug, (some online videos shows that Green Screen actually works as advertised) it's most likely related to the video card driver. My video card is an ATI 4870. If you have such a card, there's probably no hope that you can get this feature to work unless Apple fixes the driver or possibly the iMovie application, or you use my tricky workaround.

  • What has happened to the rotating disk when sending e-mails in 6.2?

    What has happened to the rotating disk when sending e-mails in 6.2?

    Fast user switching is on... I use the Name reference but I've tried switching to icon with the same result. If the a account I'm switching to is not logged in I get a blank Blue screen for about 2 seconds then the desktop of the account. If the account is already logged in then from the login window (all accounts have passwords) it just switches directly to the desktop.
    I have spaces turned on on my main account however none of the other accounts do, the same thing happens regardless of which account you are switching from or to.
    If you hadn't said it was working for you I would have believe they just pulled it from Leopard.

  • What has happened to the wonderful, independent,  DTP section of Pages?

    What has happened to the wonderful, separate, Desk Top Publishing section of Pages?
    Since upgrading, I am no longer able to:
    See my column markers when  layout view is enabled
    I cannot identify the colours I regularly use in my magazine layouts as those colours are no longer shown on the palette
    I cannot find the flow buttons that used to exist in the bottom right hand corner of the text boxes and can no longer get text flowing from one page to another.
    I work in collaboration with someone else in magazine production and we need to be able to liaise with regard to the formatting.   this is now very difficult.   I need this sorted ASAP as we are working to a deadline.

  • What has happened to the graphics in my emails??

    What has happened to all the graphics in my emails?

    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • What has happened to the 'little lock icon' that tells me site safe?

    There used to be a 'little yellow lock' icon at the bottom of the browser page when I did my banking or when I logged in on ebay etc.. This icon let me know it was safe to use the page/site. When I updated to Firefox 6.0.2. for Windows English the yellow lock icon no longer appears. What has happened to it? Is it there and I need to retrieve some how or have you done away with it...and why?

    In Firefox 4 and later you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions.<br />
    The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server.<br />
    So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL.<br />
    The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar.

  • What has happened to the "show search" function in Pages 5.5.2?

    In older versions, this function displayed all instances of the search string with links to the page number of each instance. This is different from Find and Replace, which hops from one instance at a time. Critical for revising my books. I could use it to jump only to the beginnings of chapters or to notice that I'd overused a particular word or to observe that I had used the same words in close proximity to one another.
    Does anyone know if this function was removed from the update?
    Thanks,
    AK

    The Search feature as you describe from Pages '09 was not implemented in Pages v5 (any release) along with the other 100+ features in Pages '09 that were omitted. It has been almost 17 months since Pages v5 was released, and there is no sign that Apple has conscience pangs about what they have not done with Pages v5.
    If Pages '08, or '09 was on your machine when you installed Pages v5, these will be in the /Applications/iWork '08, or /Applications/iWork '09 folders respectively. Recommend you use them if you still have them.

  • What Has Happened to the LightRoom Forum

    What happened to the LightRoom forum. I have not got any emails  from the LightRoom forum in the past 2 days.
    Tunney

    My monitor profile has nothing to do with having LightRoom messages delivered to my computer as per the past. However, my monitor is profiled once a month  and is just fine. I cannot imagine the monitor profile having anything to do with the forum messages not being delivered to my 27 inch iMac, as per the past. For the record;, I have received two replies to my question as forum mail but have not viewed or received any other discussions that are taking place in the LightRoom forum. Is there a reason why??
    All LightRoom forum mail would be delivered to my iMac, but for some reason, they are no longer being sent to me. I really thought there was something wrong with the forum itself.

  • What has happened to the "save as" option in the file menu

    I have just tried to "save as" one of my documents and the option in the file menu bar has disapeared. i use the save as option often. Please help

    I recommend sending feedback to Apple. I have sent feedback for Pages, Numbers & OS X.The more people who send feedback, the more likely changes will be made. Feedback works. When iWork '09 first came out there was a lot of ranting about the move of Export to the Share menu. With the first update Export was added back to the File menu & was also left in the Share menu.
    Here's what I sent to the OS X feedback.
    The loss of Save As… in Numbers 2.1, Pages 4.1 & Preview in Lion is extremely frustrating, particularly since there is no keyboard command for File > Duplicate. Trying to assign ⌘ ⇧ S in System Preferences doesn't work because OS X "decides" to then assign that to Edit > Duplicate which, by default is ⌘ D.
    I have to take my hands off the keyboard, go to the File menu & then select Duplicate in order to create a new document with the same basic content. Having a keyboard command for File > Duplicate would go a long way in solving this problem for me & many others who complain in Apple Support Communities.

  • What has happened to the orange bookmark box in the top lh corner how do I find and make bookmarks?

    Seems an update has happened - why? Any how the bookmark orange box in the top lh corner of the toolbar has gone missing.
    So how do I now bookmark a website for future use?
    Second how do I display my list of bookmarks?
    Replies in language a 70 year old will understand please.

    Firefox 29 and later versions have the Australis interface that looks different than the user interface in Firefox 28 and older versions.
    *With the Australis interface the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar<br>A consequence of this new menu button is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
    *There is a star like button to the right end of the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.<br>You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
    *It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu on the toolbars to have menus like the Bookmarks menu
    * Click the bookmark star on the Navigation Toolbar once to bookmark the current site (this will highlight the star) to bookmark the current page in the Unsorted folder
    * Click the blue highlighted star to open the "Edit This Bookmark" pop-up dialog and move the bookmark to another folder
    In current Firefox releases the "Bookmark This Page" menu entry in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark" once you have bookmarked the page and the star on the Navigation Toolbar is highlighted blue.<br />
    So do not get confused by the missing "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu and seeing "Edit This Bookmark" instead if you try to bookmarks a page that is already bookmarked.<br />
    You can make a extra copy of a bookmark by dragging the link to a folder in the bookmarks sidebar or by doing a copy and paste in the Bookmarks Manager (Library).
    You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.
    *Classic Theme Restorer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
    *You can check the settings of the CTR extension via its Options/Preferences button on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" page.
    *You can find extra toolbar buttons in the Customize palette (3-bar Firefox menu button > Customize)

  • What has happened to the 1520??

    Hi, erico64.
    The device screen is made of glass. This glass can be broken if the device
    drops on a hard surface or receives a substantial impact. The warranty of the it was voided due to physical damage. Since the device has the insurance with the provider, replacement of it will still depend
    on them. Keep us posted.

    I own a Lumia 1520, dropped it and the screen shattered (so much for Gorilla Glass).    I've paid for insurance on it, the entire time I've had it.   I tried to file a claim, online, but was only offered an HTC One as a replacement.  Called ATT and they
    only told me it wasn't available. Definitely unhappy.:angry:
