iMovie '08 is basically a non-destructive, by-reference editor. It is not necessary to physically split or delete portions of your files. The "Split" Edit option is only available when an event clips is placed in the project window. Easiest way to delete a selection from within a clip would be to
1) Move the clip to the Project window
2) Select/highlight the frame segment to be removed
3) Use the "cut" or "delete select" option (or "split clip) and delete key) to remove the unwanted content from your project

  • Working with clips in  iMovie 4

    Is it possible rotate a short clip that a new camera man shot sideways? He thought the subject fit better in the view finder on its side!

    Hi Chuckey:
    You can use QuickTime Pro: Movie / Get Movie Properties / Video Track/Size and then use rotate buttons. Or you can
    get Simple Rotate, an iMovie plugin

  • After "Replace with clip" the original clip can not be deleted from the project - why?

    After using "replace with clip" to replace clip A in the timeline with a new clip B , clip A can not be deleted from the project anymore.
    If you try to delete clip A, you get a warning, that it still has references in one or more sequences.
    If you continue and delete clip A, it seems to be deleted - at first!
    Unfortunately if you save and reopen the project, clip A is restored to folder "Recovered clips".
    It's not possible to really delete it.
    I also did not find a way to unlink clip B from A .
    The only thing you can do, is to revert the change by "Restore Unrendered" in the clip context menu. But that's obviously not helping
    I dont know if this is a bug or a feature. I understand, that it can be useful to undo the "replace clip" function, but why would anyone not want to be able to delete the original clip at all?
    help how to fix this problem is greatly appreciated!
    I use Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (Win7 64bit)

    I'm sure it has nothing to to with other sequences.
    You can easily reproduce this behaviour:
    1. create a new project
    2. import 2 clips and name them "A" and "B"
    3. put "A" in the timeline
    4. ALT-drag "B" over "A" in the timeline (or right-click "A" in the timeline while selecting "B" in the project files and select "replace with clip ... from bin")
    5. delete "A" from the project files
    6. save and close project
    7. reopen project
    => "A" reappears in "Recovered clips" and can not be deleted.

  • Outlook 2011 for Mac: Occurrence with this index was previously deleted from the recurrence

    Client using Outlook 2011 (14.2.4) with Mac OS 10.8.2. 
    I've never seen this error before, and it keeps popping up (next to the classic yellow triangle with exclamation point -- I'd post screenshot, but forum isn't letting me.) The message doesn't seem to be related to any specific action.)
    Exact text is: Outlook 2011 for Mac: Occurrence with this index was previously deleted from the recurrence.
    Any assistance is very much appreciated. 

    Unfortunately this did not work for me. There is absolutely nothing in my Drafts folder to be deleted. I'm sure the problem is calendar-related but there is nothing to delete or fix. I ran the Database Utility and it didn't find anything wrong. So I'm stuck
    getting an alert "beep" every 8 minutes from Outlook.  
    EDIT: OK, so you have to look in "Outbox", not "Drafts". And the "Outbox" does not always appear in the sidebar. When mine finally did (not sure what made it show up, but it may have been me enabling logging), I was able to
    delete the offending message.

  • Greetings, I am working in Final Cut Pro 7. In the timeline some clips show as offline. I tried going to sequence and reconnecting to media but it does not work. I can still see the video in the timeline and work with it. It just has the red box.

    If the clips are not actually missing, you could try to refresh the timeline by using cmd-0 and then going to the timeline options tab. Then select name only where it says "thumbnail display". Press ok to accept the change, then repeat the process to add thumbnails back to your timeline.

    Yes you can. In iPhoto create a Album with the photos you want in it. You can drag them from your Events folder. In iTunes with your iPad connected go to Photos by cliking on your iPad. You can then select the album or events you want.

  • HT204370 Can movies obtained via 'digital copy' with a DVD purchase be downloaded again for free if the movie is deleted from the source downloaded to?

    Can movies obtained via 'digital copy' with a DVD purchase be downloaded again for free if the movie is deleted from the source (e.g., Macbook Pro) downloaded to?

    I'm running Windows 7 RC on my iMac. This was downloaded from Technet when it was available. The disk image I downloaded was then burned to a DVD-RW for the installation.

  • My iPad 2 only keeps a set number of emails for me to view eventually deleting from the screen. How do stop this as it syncs with my phone and mac book pro neither of which do this?

    My iPad 2 only keeps a set number of emails for me to view eventually deleting from the screen. How do stop this as it syncs with my phone and mac book pro neither of which do this?

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks

  • I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

    I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

    I experienced this issue as well.
    Background:
    I had opened an ICS attachment for a repeating event on my iPhone, which added the item to my phone's calendar. I did not have the option to delete the calendar entry from my phone, and the item did not appear on the calendar on my Mac. My phone is currently running iOS 7 (but the problem began quite awhile ago; I don't recall which version of iOS was installed when it started).
    Solution (summary):
    Create a new calendar, move the items that you wish to delete to the new calendar, then delete the new calendar
    Solution (detailed steps):
    Create a new calendar
    On your phone, open the calendar app
    Tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
    Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
    Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap the "Add Calendar..." option
    Give your new calendar a good name, such as "Delete me"
    Tap "Done" in the top right corner to save the new calendar
    Tap "Done" in the top left corner to finish editing the list of calendars
    Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars
    Assign all calendar entries that you wish to delete to the calendar you created in step 1
    Tap a calendar entry that you wish to delete
    Tap the "Edit" button in the top right corner
    Scroll down until you see the Calendar field (on an iPhone or iPod it's usually just below the bottom of the screen), then tap the Calendar field to bring up the list of available calendars
    Tap the name of the calendar that you created in step 1 (e.g. "Delete me"); the screen should return to the main calendar entry page
    Tap "Done" in the top right corner of the screen. You may need to then tap the "< Day" button on the top left of the screen to return to the main calendar view
    Repeat the instructions in step 2 for each of the calendar entries that you wish to delete
    Delete the calendar that you created in step 2 (this will delete all calendar entries assigned to this calendar)
    From the main screen in the calendar app, tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
    Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
    Tap the entry for the calendar that you created in step 2 (e.g. "Delete me")
    Scroll to the bottom of the scren and tap the "Delete Calendar" option. You should be prompted with a warning that explains that "All events associated with this calendar will also be deleted."
    If you're sure that the only items on this calendar are items that you wish to delete, tap the "Delete Calendar" button
    Tap "Done" in the top right corner to exit the Edit Calendars screen
    Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars. You should now be back at the main view of the calendars app
    Rejoice, your pesky repeating calendar events have been deleted
    At this point all of the items that you assigned to the deleted calendar should be gone
    Repeat the steps above for any entries that you missed
    Post another message to this thread if this did not resolve your problem

  • Problems with iMovie downloaded from the App Store

    I downloaded iMovie 11 from the App Store Yesterday. When I try to use it I get this message, "Missing QuickTime Component." "The QuickTime component necessary to view, edit, import and export MPEG2 movies is not installed." "It is included with the iMovie installed, Please re-install." I have tried to re-download it from the App Store and then get the message "Installed." I have searched the Apple site for information as to how to accomplish this to no avail. I have looked at the iMovie Help files all to no avail. Can anyone please tell me what to do to fix this. When installing from the App Store you do not seem to get a standard installer.
    Thanks to anyone who can help fix this problem.
    Mike

    When installing from the App Store you do not seem to get a standard installer.
    True.
    I have found that the physical possession of the software on a DVD or CD is a better way to go.
    In the event you have a computer problem and must rebuild your system or reinstall software, it is always easier to do so if you have the physical media in your possession.
    I would spend a few dollars more and purchase the iLife 11 disc.
