Why can't some clips fast forward?

I am on my first ever imovie project for school. I need to fast forward some of the clips so that my video can fit into the stipulated duration. Some clips can fast forward whitest others can't. Those that can't fast forward can however respond to slow motion. What is the reason and how can the problem be solved?

I am unable to adjust playback speed as well. The options for modifying 2x, 4x, 8x, and 20x are not highlighted to click on. The fast foward section under modify is highlighted.

Why wont imovie let me fast forward?

I make youtube videos so I know how to use iMovie really well. anyways, I tried to fast forward a clip and the screen just becomes gray. I saw some other posts that said to make sure the timeline isn't wrapped. first of all, I don't know what that means. second of all, I don't think that's the issue because I haven't done anything different than what I always do.
this is how the screen looks when I try to fast forward a clip

does anyone have any ideas? I've restarted my computer, restarted iMovie, started a new project, etc and nothing has worked

Why can't merged clips be exported to XML?

I merged my files from a double system shoot (with a Red camera and separate audio) - only to find that you can't then color correct outside of Premiere. I will grant I should have read the bottom of the merged file page which clearly states that you can't export an XML file with merged files but WHY?????????????? How do merged files benefit you if in the end you can't export to DaVinci for color correction? And from what I have found there are no work arounds. I tried to replace with original source video but the timecode of the merged file no longer matches that of the original source audio so I can't without resyncing and re-editing the whole thing - and our sound mixer has already done a significant amount of work on an OMF of the current project. And of course once I import that OMF and sync it to the video - I can't change the video because then I could have significant issues with the audio. I currently work in CS5.5 and would happily pay for an upgrade to Cloud if it solved this problem but from everything I have read it does not... it seems like a huge issue. I would rather not have the merged files function than have it lead me astray in this fashion.
If anyone has found a solution let me know. Otherwise I was going to have the original source files color corrected by our colorist and link those to the project (luckily there aren't really internal clip issues and it's a short so it's only 28 clips total)?
Any solutions greatly appreciated
===============================
Title changed by moderator to make it descriptive of the issue/question--but mostly eliminate the all-caps. Shouting doesn't help

Ah yes -- well very holistic approach I suppose... but considering my question "how to export a project with merged clips to an XML file?" - this doesn't actually answer that question. It is a work around. But one that requires me to find and hire another colorist (and let's be honest a large portion of the post-production community works with Resolve) and I don't think I am being unreasonable for expecting Adobe to have considered the possibility of this work flow (editing a project in Premiere and then moving to a commonly used platform such as Davinci Resolve to color correct). Or yes I could learn SpeedGrade but if I had the time to color correct the project myself we wouldn't be hiring someone else to get the project completed in a timely manner... so yeah it's a work around that doesn't really work. I am hoping having the original source video color corrected will make it all work - and I will NEVER used the Merged Clip feature in Premiere ever again. And wish there was some way for me to warn others against falling victim to its charms as well.

Why can only some machines see netboot images at the startup screen?

I have a 10.6.6 server running as a netboot server. I have about 10 images running on the server that consist of a 10.6.6 and 10.5.8 triage partition and a 10.6.6 and 10.5.8 restore image. Now what I have noticed is that newer machines after starting up and holding down the option key will see all the available images.But on some older intel machines nothing will show up after holding the option key down accept the internal drive itself, But if you hold down the N key it WILL boot to the default image.
I have made sure and checked that the ethernet port was working on the older machines. I also made sure that I can see the images from the startup control panel. All machines can see the netboot images from the startup control panel, but older intel versions cant. However I was able to sometimes get the old white and black macbooks to see the images but others not.
Any suggestions as to why some machines will see the images at the startup screen after holding the option key and why some wont?

That, most likely, means that you have a fairly large number of images and/or they have very long names.
The number of images that can be displayed is limited by the size of the data packet which contains the NetBoot volume information. Two techniques we use to keep this in check are 1) aggressive purging of outdated images, and 2) use of shorter display names (the one seen in Startup Disk, not the one in the NetBootSP0 folder).

Why can't some Hotmail emails be deleted from phone?

I can't delete some Hotmail emails from my iPhone (iPhone 5, iOS6.1.4). It doesn't happen with all Hotmail emails. It appears that this only happens with Hotmail emails that have been on the iPhone, opened on the iPhone but not deleted via the iPhone, and then deleted via my computer by accessing my Hotmail account. The emails remain in the Hotmail account on the iPhone and when I try to delete them, via "edit" and deleting selected or swiping and choosing "delete," I receive an error pop up that says "Unable to Move Messages The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash." The email will temporarily be removed, but it will then reappear. Anyone have a clue on how to fix this? Thanks.

"Unable to move message to folder "Trash" because the folder does not exist"
Note: This should not affect MobileMe accounts.
Resolution
To resolve this issue go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [affected account name] > Advanced > Deleted Mailbox on iPhone or iPod touch.
If "On the Server" is an option, select Trash below that (or select Deleted Items or Deleted Messages). Otherwise, select Trash located under "On My iPhone". Once the Deleted Mailbox has been set, tap Advanced and then press the Home button to return the Home screen.
If the Deleted Mailbox is already set to Trash, please follow these steps:
Tap another folder such as Spam under the "On the Server" section
Tap Advanced.
Tap Deleted Mailbox, then set it to Trash located under On My iPhone.
Tap Advanced.
Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.

Forms visual attribute inheriting: why can't some attributes be inherited

Hi every body!
I have created some Textitems for my Form-modul, whose (the Items) visual Attributes were manually set. Now I'd like to have these Items look like the same, and I have created an visual attribute object for these Textitems to be inherited.
But I see that, some of the Attributes such as Color are updated with the attribute of my visual attribute object, but not some others, for instance Font.
How can I force those Attributes to be inherited from the base visual attribute object?
Many thanks!

Thanks Isaac. What am I looking for in particular?
The user was created in the AD users and computers GUI. I then ran the delegate control wizard to grant the user create user and delete user access to the OU my users sit in.
The new-aduser command we run looks like this. I build the string below then connect to the domain controller to run it. There are no other commands run after this.
my $cmd = "new-aduser -Name \'$args{firstname} $args{lastname}\' " .
"-AccountPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString " .
"-AsPlainText \'$args{password}\' -Force ) -Enabled 1 " .
"-ChangePasswordAtLogon 1 " .
"-DisplayName \'$args{firstname} $args{lastname}\' " .
"-EmailAddress \'$args{email}\' " .
"-GivenName \'$args{firstname}\' " .
"-SamAccountName \'$args{login}\' " .
"-UserPrincipalName \'$args{login}\@$args{domain}\' " .
"-Surname \'$args{lastname}\' " .
"-Path \'$args{location}\'";
Thanks for the help.

15min clip to 3sec clip fast forward

Hi,
I have a 15 min clip of downtown skyline. I want to compress/speed up and fit into 3/5 sec. Just to show the changing color gradient of skyline. Is this possible to do it FCP?
Thanks,
Karur
Mac OS X (10.2.x)

I just noticed (hey, I'm sleepy) that your clip is 15 minutes ... I mis-read it as seconds. I don't think FCP will speed up a clip that much, but you could speed it up as far as possible, then export it as a QT movie, import the new file and speed it up again until you get the result you want.
You could also create one still frame per second (or one every 10 seconds, etc), then drop the still frames on the Timeline for a time-lapsed effect.

Why Can't I Fast-Forward the Apple Special Event - September 1, 2010???

I started watching the 9/1/10 special event keynote and then had to come back to it later. But, I can't seem to fast-forward the video to the place I stopped watching.
Do I have to watch 30 minutes of the beginning again??
Ugh...

I don't even have the usual scrubber or any controls at all!
Must be a setting somewhere. It'd be a riot if it turned out to be Click to Flash!
Ah! More rummaging--here, not Google--netted the podcast via iTunes

Much thanks to alancito's post in this thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12194198&#12194198
Apple should put this on its home page, too! Hope this helps someone else!
Spoke too soon... first time I started it, I had controls. No longer. Can't get 'em back. Wanted to jump in past the Game Center biz which I have already viewed.
Any bright ideas?

How can I fast forward in Podcast?

I want to know how to fast forward in a podcast? I can hold down the fast forward button and it goes a few seconds and I can rewind for a few seconds. However I want to fast forward minutes.
Any suggestions? I see in the manual on page 62 about podcast and audiobook controlls but I don't have playback speed or a skip to any point in the timeline.

To skip to any point on the timeline, drag the playhead along the scrubber bar. While dragging, slide your finger down to slowdown the scrub rate.

Why can't I automatically forward from Apple Mail to Gmail?

Why can I no longer automatically forward mail from Mac Mail to Gmail account automatically. This worked fine till a few days ago but no longer. I hadn't changed any settings. have asked about this in Gmail forum but no useful answers, I have now changed various setting but makes no difference. Most of the Gmail help is oriented to Mail 4.0, I have 3.6, so that doesn't help (can I upgrade, I have OS10.5.8), I uploaded MailUpdate but it would it wouldn't let me install).
Maybe there is a way via Mail Forward but that seems for forwarding _from_ webmail _to_ Apple Mail.
All help gratefully received.
Thank you,
Michael

I suppose Gmail is forwarding to Apple Mail but not v versa, hardly anything at all is landing in Gmail.
My Apple Mail is a POP account, but IMAP -enabled in Gmail if that makes sense, Gmail help says that's what you should do to forward from POP to Gmail.
I want to forward them to Gmail so I can read my POP mail on my PC at work, as I said this worked beautiflly since I started in Feb till last week, then stopped for no apparent reason... As alternative I use mail2web which is just about okay but very slow, no outbox, no spam or other filtering, keeps timing out.
Yes something is doubling up but not sure what...
In my Apple Mail I have two accounts, both POP, one my regular apple mail account, the other my Gmail account, but settings are different according to Gmail help but not sure if they are right any more..
thanks again

Cannot fast forward in music video mode. How can I accomplish this

Cannot fast forward in music video mode. How can I accomplish this. Cannot rewind either. Am I missing something? If I change the Music Video to TV Show or Movie can both rewind or fast forward. For now all concert videos are in Movies, which might be the right place for them, but kinda weird Itunes does this.

I am by no mean an expert and I'm sure there are easier ways to accomplish this... however one way is to do something like this:
-Use selection tool to select all blue background, soften the edges of the selection then delete the selection.
-Here you will have a white background and dull looking image with not the greatest edges.
-Zoom waaaay in and use a softer eraser brush on the edges.
-Use various sharpening, brightening, white levels adjustments to make your image prettier.
-Pay attention to the diamond, select the diamond with a selector tool and sharpen, etc. Consider adding a layer to add additional detail to just the diamond.
-Consider using the clone stamp to smooth out any markings on the silver tone band.

No chapter fast forward for video playback in os7

Anyone else notice that you can't hit the fast forward button and jump to the next chapter in an iTunes video? I can go back to the menu and skip from there, but not while watching the video. Not a big glitch, but annoying. Why do the all the updates always have this bug? You'd think they would have tested them before hand.

It has always seemed that Bridge has been the stepchild of Adobe since its inception and that Adobe spends precious little effort and resources on it.
Remember that Bridge was born as nothing more than Photoshop's Browser. Nothing more.
Then, in a straight marketing stunt, Adobe decided artificially to lump together a number of totally unrelated applications into artificial "suites." These are in fact totally non-related applications that were artificially bundled by fiat of bean counters and marketers. The engineering teams for the individual point applications are totally independent from each other and are not only not in in the same building but in different cities, different states and, some, in different countries. They have pathetically little communication among themselves.
The humble Photoshop Browser was renamed Bridge and jerry-rigged to serve as some sort of go-between vehicle among the applications also jerry-ringed into artificial suites. (Definition of JERRY-RIGGED: organized or constructed in a crude or improvised manner <a jerry–rigged plan>.
Don't expect too much from Bridge, and don't complain about it too loudly, or you might find yourself among others who have been told, in effect, that "Adobe doesn't charge you for Bridge." As a "free" byproduct, you get what you paid for.
In this context, just look at what has happened to the value of Adobe stock in the last five years: –28.20% (minus).
Compare that to Apple during the exact same period: +358.43%.

How Can I Fast Forward through clips - Any key Command?

I am watching some long clips in my event library ... I want to choose sections to move to the project library.
As the movie plays ... I can use the arrow (left and right) to slow mo forward or backward.
What I need is a key command that will give me a fast forward ... say 2 or 3 times play speed.
The only way I know to fast forward is to use the trackpad with my fingers but this way I keep losing my position on the clips and skip over rows ... you also have to drag back to the beginning of the next row and know where you are ..
To find parts of clips that you want to select and drag up to your project this seems like a necessity especially when viewing a long movie ... it's really tedious to have to drag through the whole thing.
AM I out of luck?

OOOpps ... sorry ... wrong forum ....

Why can I no longer use my headphones remote to fast forward or rewind music videos on iPhone since upgrading to ios7?

Why can I no longer use my headphones remote to fast forward or rewind music videos on iPhone since upgrading to ios7?

The YouTube app is not included in iOS 6 (I think because the licensing agreement with google ended). You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version), or (if this isn't the version that you have tried) try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)
