Where is the import option for "Start a new clip at each scene break" in iMovie 2013?

I am currently in the process of importing several mini-DV tapes via firewire into iMovie 2013. I have the most recent version of iMovie and am using a Sony Handycam to facilitate the transfer. The problem I am having is that when I hit import, iMovie splits what is supposed to be a single scene into multiple scenes ranging anywhere from a second to 5 minutes. I am left with several scene chunks that I cannot combine into one. I did a little research and found that iMovie is probably deinterlacing my scenes as it mistakes them for multiple scene breaks. In the older iMovie options, all I had to do was to go to "Preferences" -> "Import" -> then deselect "Start a new clip at each scene break". However, this option doesn't appear to be available in iMovie 2013. Is there a way I can force iMovie 2013 to import a single scene from my mini-DV camcorder without breaking it into multiple clips? Thanks!

1st : this is the wrong forum, this is iMovie for ipod/iphone and ipad ( iOS is the OSX mobile Operating System )
2nd : iMovie 11 is the current OSX version.  iMovie 06 was the last of its kind, all newer, including iMovie 09 have complete new workflow, so functions of 06 are gone and have replaced with others.
Please go to the correct forum to find specific answers.

  • Can't stop "Start new clip at each scene break"

    I have gone to Preferences/import and unchecked the box TWICE, yet when I start importing it invariably ends the clip at 19:54:06 then stops importing. If I click IMPORT again, it brings in another 19:54:06.
    What do i have to do so it will import without stopping?

    Hi minutemantechs - welcome to the forum!
    This is not a limitation imposed by iMovie. Check your external drive's format - it must be Mac OS Extended. Yours is probably formatted for PCs. Note that re-formatting will clear everything stored on the drive. re-format via Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility.

    Or, if by any chance what you are trying to do is to import (rip) a CD...   insert the CD, let it register in iTunes, and then "Import CD" will appear at the upper right as shown.

    If you are trying to create a new account you need to:
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • How can I change the import options for an Excel table in InDesign CS5.5?

    Hi,
    I have a problem with an InDesign script that works this way in ID CS4 and ID CS5, but stops working in ID CS5.5.
    What the script should do, is to change the import preferences for a table saved in an Excel file so that I can place an unformatted table into a new textFrame in my InDesign document. The Excel document is an .xlsx-File.
    function setExcelImportPrefs() {
        with (app.excelImportPreferences) {
             app.excelImportPreferences.tableFormatting = TableFormattingOptions.excelUnformattedTable;
    What the script does (or at least seems to do) is: nothing. The table that is placed into the textFrame by the script is always formatted, as this seems to be the standard preference of InDesign CS5.5 for importing tables out of excel files.
    Does anybody have a hint for me how to make the script work in ID CS5.5?

    Okay, now it is working. I had to save the XLSX-file into the older XLS format, but that seems to work quite well.
    But I won't ever understand why InDesign loses its backward compatibility from one version to the other.
    Thank you, -hans-.

  • Where are the accessibility options for the "Down-Level" items

    I have an animation I've created (that I haven't cleared with my client yet, so I, unfortunately, cannot share a link).  However, the client is government and there is a strict requirement for 508 compliance or "Accessibility."  I have been able to get alt tags throughout the main animation with no problems and tabindexing too.  The agency is still using IE8 with Chrome as their solution to newer HTML5 content.  Because of this we have experienced that most will look at the product in IE8 first.  This brings me to requiring a "Down-Level" page.  On this page I have placed an image with a description to upgrade, but the image MUST have an alt tag.  How can I accomplish this?  There is no Accessibility area in Down-level and in making varying entries to the "index_preloader.js" file I have been unsuccessful (I've tried title: '...', and alt: '...' and ['...'] and many other combinations.  Please help!
    I wish I could share the link.  I am willing to run a web based remote session using Join.me or similar, if you'd like to take a look.
    Any help or suggestion(s) is/are VERY MUCH appreciated!  Thank you.

    Hi Sheila,
    Yes, the Distiller joboptions. We are using Distiller 9, 8, and 7 that comes with the Adobe Acrobat software. We are all on Windows XP and 7. I'm not very familiar with the joboptions, so I'm not an expert on how all of this works.
    One writer said she is using the PDFX4 2007 job option, which appears to be the default with Framemaker 9. I think these files are hidden and only the customized options can be saved.

  • What's the best importing option for a Flash video?

    I've got a few encoded high definition videos that are now .flv files and I'm wondering which is the best option to choose when importing the .flv file into my Flash project? I'm looking for fastest loading/streaming with best quality to be the result. If I choose a streaming option like progressive download from a web server, would the choice be dependent on the type of server the file(s) are hosted on? I'm using Flash Professional 8.

    Hi,
    The best importing option for video is streaming from flash media server. Below I discuss the drawbacks if you use other alternatives.
    i) If you use embed video option
    File size will go huge. Loading time will be higher. This is not a good option if you have big size video files.
    ii) If you use progressive download from a web server
    Video file gets downloaded to the client machine during the progressive download. Since video file is downloaded into the client machine, there are chances of the external user to reuse the same video.
    iii) If you use streaming from flash media server
    Video directly gets streamed from Flash Media Server. In this case, video file download does not happen on the client side. Video file security concerns are already addressed by Flash Media Server protocols.
    Thanks

  • Where is the plist file for the Finder option "Always Show Extensions"?

    Where is the plist file for the Finder option "Always Show Extensions"?
    I am designing a new master NetRestore image for Leopard. I have all my Dock and FInder prefs tweaked and customized on the image. (They all live in /System?Library/User Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences...)
    The one preference I cant get to stick is the option to "Always SHow Extensions" It appears to not be located in the usual com.apple.finder
    Can you tell me where this preference lives?

  • Where are the email options like SendNow had?

    My inbox is getting pick up notices from recipients who've accessed the links that I've sent them. I don't want or need these pick up notices filling by inbox. Where are the email options like SendNow had?
    More importantly, why did Adobe get rid of a wonderful product... I'd pay more to get the old service back!!
    Thx, JG

    You can disable notifications on a per-file basis. Please see View a file's tracking information in the Adobe Send Getting Started document.

  • Where is the Mp3export option in Garageband 10.0.2?

    Hi! I keep reading about the export option for mp3 on this new update of Garageband 10.0.2. I used to have the mp3 export in an older version, so perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place, but each time I try to export a file, it ends up as a AAC rather than mp3. Here's a screenshot of what I'm doing. Any advice? Or do I need to reinstall? The installation of the update took HOURS so perhaps it was just a bad install. Although, I'd rather not go through that again if I don't have to!!! Thanks! Danielle

    Here is the screenshot what you should see.
    Selecting "Export Song To Disk..." from the Share Menu opens the "Export SOng To Disk" Dialog where you hae the three Radio buttons AAC-MP3-AIFF.
    I explain all the Share/Export details (including the new Export Range options) in my new book "GarageBand X - How it Works"
    Hope that helps

  • Where is the "stroke options panel" in Photoshop CS6?

    Where is the "stroke options panel" in Photoshop CS6? It used to be right above the layers palette in older versions of Photoshop but now it's gone. I'v been trying to find it for an hour and a half and it doesn't seem to be in any of the menus.

    If you're looking for the Stroke options of a layer, you can find that by clicking the layer you have a stroke on or wish to have a stroke on, and then clicking the fx icon in the bottom of the layers panel:
    And it will open the Stroke options for that layer.
    Another option is by clicking Edit at the top menu, and then choosing "Stroke..." (make sure you have a layer selected).
    It will then bring up a window with Stroke options on it for that layer:
    I hope this helps! Let me know if you need further assistance!

  • Where is the "Settings" Option in Camera Raw 4.1 in Elements 5?

    I'm using Elements 5 on Windows XP Home Version. Where is the "Settings" Option on RAW 4.1? On RAW 3.5 it was underneath the Histogram. I need to copy settings from a previous RAW file, so I can combine two images into one. The Help Menu on Elements 5 tells me how to do this, but the "Settings" Option it mentions isn't displayed on the screen.
    I'd be grateful for any advice.
    Thanks

    Thomas Knoll should know everything, since he is the creator of Photoshop and Camera Raw.
    Saturation affects all colors in your image.
    Vibrance affects the saturation of less saturated colors only.
    Recover helps bring out detail in the highlight areas of your image.
    Clarity is sort of a sharpness control. To see its effect on your images you must be viewing your image at at least 100% magnification.
