Adding clip at a specific time on the timeline

This seems to be a very simple task, but I'm pulling my hair out trying to understand this.

When you put the clips in the timeline, imovie, they automatically move at the end of the previous element, all the way to the left of the timeline. Is it possible that you can move a clip at a specific point in the timeline, say, 01:30, but a gap of no content between 0 and 01:30? I have an audio track at the moment and I try to sync the audio clips, but I take pieces out one at a time and don't want any film from start to finish crafts. There MUST be a way to put videos where I want, at the top of the audio without having to move and attach it to the previous item. I want to just place them where I want to, at some point, and they have to stay there.

I updated my software and iMovie version (I'm on a macbook pro).

No, you can only leave spaces between clips in the main FCP timeline.  However if you put a (probably black) background in the iMovie timeline and extend to the duration of the video, then you can put top clips whenever you like and it will display when you play the movie (picture in picture).

  • How make an object appear at a specific time in the timeline?

    I know this is a stupidly simple question but I can't do this work.

    I want to put more than one symbol on the stage at the same time, but I want them to appear at different times.

    Whenever I have paste the symbol on the stage, however, it always seems at the start of playback.

    I have the image auto key button checked, but it seems to make no difference to the result.

    This frustrated beginner, you will appreciate any help please. I'm used to Flash, where you place a blank Keyframe on the scene then paste your object right there in the script simply.

    1. Select the item.
    2. Move the playhead where you want to raise objection to appear
    3. Select the display on the top left panel and choose from the list - what is before the will have screen. You can enable and then view or disable as needed.

  • What are dsiplayed units of time in the timeline?

    It's maybe a stupid question, but I wanted both to an event that I recorded with my sony hd camera.  I imported the clip pe 9 and tried to judge time to watch frame-by-frame in the timeline.   the units appear like this 01:30; 25 but the last two digits go from 25 to 00.   that the devil which means?   are these frame units, the second, a novel timing invented by adobe system?    I realize a video camera is not an instrument of measurement of the time, so maybe I'm too ask a lot... but now I'm curious... What are these units displayed in the timeline panel, and why they jump in increments that they do?   the value of my sony camera?  or adobe?

    Thank you...

    David

    N ° is the General standard in Non-linear video editing. Adobe continues just to follow. Which means the timecode in your case is 01:00 seconds: 25 images. If she spends 25 to 0, it means that you have created a PAL project. For NTSC, it climbs from 30 to 0. This indicates not only the time, it also indicates the number of images. And it's really too granular you need to get into this big bad video world.

    You can use this to make your time. I'm guessing that you don't need a precision less than 0.04 seconds (25 images per second - an image in 0.04 seconds).

  • Can not change the units of time in the timeline display, how is it?

    Hello

    I have a project with several chronologies and many clips (which are all conversions for 8mm film).

    The clips are all ProRes to 23.976 fps/720 p or 1080 p/29,94 fps (two different places did the conversions for me and each have their own workflow)

    I did separate timelines 23.976 fps/720 p and 1080 p/29,94 fps and did my best to keep the separate formats.

    In my 720 p/24 fps timeline (that I created by dragging an item to the icon of 'New element') if I right click on the time in the upper left corner of the timeline of the sequence I can choose between:

    24 fps timecode

    No offset 30 fps timecode

    Feet & frames 16mm

    Feet & frames 35mm

    Frames

    My only option is 'Frames' (be it by right clicking on the time or through the sequence settings) within my 1080 p/29,94 fps timeline

    Anyone have idea what I am doing wrong?  It's just much easier for my brain to work with time...

    Thanks for all the tips!

  • Is there a way to measure time on the timeline?

    Often, I want to know how long there is between the clamp a and clip b on my calendar.  I can move the cursor to the beginning and the end of the clips and do the math in my head.  But is it a creation tool that will do this for me?  I am considering something where you slide and exposing a part of the timeline and first tells you how long the game is.

    J. D.

    I am considering something where you slide and exposing a part of the timeline and first tells you how long the game is.

    You're in luck; This exists. Just make sure that the Info Panel is visible and then either lasso or shift + click multiple clips. The info panel displays something like "5 items selected. Duration: 00 00 10; 00 ''. Even easier, just Shift + click on the first and the last clip of the order that you want to calculate, and you will have the total time to develop the first element and the out point of the last; He will not make a difference if you select the clips between the extreme values.

    For what it's worth, I put the SHIFT + 9 to be a hotkey to call the Info Panel with impatience for the same reason. This is a feature very convenient, often neglected Agency.

  • Can cut is no longer clips of media to drag in the timeline of the movie

    Once I have download media, and I create a movie in iMovie, I am no longer able to highlight the small clips of media uploaded to slide on the timeline of the movie.  I did this for years with ease, but now when I upload media (let's say it's a 90 minute video), when I touch the clip it highlights the whole thing instead of letting me choose that it contains.  Any help would be great!

    Yes, there was a change in the last update to iMovie.  The default is now to choose the full clip.  To select a part of a clip in an event that you have pressed the 'r' key while you move the cursor over the area you want to select.  An alternative is to position the cursor at the beginning of the selection and press 'i' and then place the cursor at the end of the selection and press 'o'.

  • My video clips become unreadable once inserted into the timeline.

    Hello! I have problems with Windows Movie Maker 2.1.

    I am doing a video review and I've set up titles, narration and audio with great success, but when it came to insert video clips I hit a problem.  The clips are all perfectly clear and readable when seen separately in Windows Media Player or Windows Movie Maker Preview Panel like separate imported clips.

    However, as soon as I put on the timeline of the movie they will completely blurry and unreadable.  Video clips have been made using FRAPS, are saved in. AVI format, and Windows Movie Maker are Bit Rate: 1411 kbps; Size: 1.14 GB; Width: 1280; Size: 1024; Bit rate: ; Frame rate: 30 fps

    I tried fiddling with the properties of the video and the Compatibility tab settings, but nothing seems to make no difference to the quality of the final result.  It seems that the script of the film can be reduce the 1280 x 1024 resolution to something like 640 x 514, but it doesn't seem to be a way to confirm or change.

    Yes, the display resolution is reduced when we look at
    the script/Storyboard... (especially noticeable when
    view full screen)... This should not affect your filled
    project.

    Might be interesting to try to do a test and save the file in the
    WMV or DV - AVI format movie to see if the result is
    Acceptable.

    To save in a .wmv movie file...
    Type of... CTRL + P (or go to...) File / save movie file)
    to open the wizard movie recording.
    Choose... My computer.
    Next /.
    Enter a name and a location.
    Next /.
    ICT... "Best quality for my computer.
    Next /.
    Wait while the movie is saved.
    Finishing...

    To save a DV - AVI movie file...
    (and other options)
    Type of... CTRL + P (or go to...) File / save movie file)
    to open the wizard movie recording.
    Choose... My computer.
    Next /.
    Enter a name and a location.
    Next /.
    Show more choices.
    Other parameters.
    Open the window of the droplet and choose... DV - AVI.
    Next /.
    Wait while the movie is saved.
    Finishing...

    If you have problems during registration, there may be a format
    compatibility issue... you will need to convert your AVI clips
    before you import into Movie Maker WMV format.

  • Can I Zoom in on a specific point on the timeline

    The timeline zooms of ICT (except when playing), so I don't know what you're asking for here.

  • Start time for the Timeline timecode

    All my projects are starting about 5 min. on the timeline. Is it possible to make this start time shows in the timecode in zero display until the timecode shows the elapsed time of the project rather than the length of the line. My clients watch the blueray and give their notes using the bluray counter, it would be nice if I had a screen which was the same as theirs. I could use burned to tc, but that means make the whole 80 minutes. I could move the project from scratch, but that would spoil the audio automation.

  • Can a button to jump to a specific point on the timeline? (without going to another slide)

    I have a project on a slide, with a synchronized video multiple sliders in one minute. I have two buttons that appear after 10 seconds and pause the slide/video. If the user clicks A button, the action is set to 'continue' and the slide/video starts playing where it left off. HOWEVER, if the B button is clicked, I want the action to skip the user on the timeline to 45 second mark. Is there a a way to do this using advanced actions?

    Screen Shot 2016-02-18 at 3.39.46 PM.png

    Yes, with micro-navigation, which means that you use the cpCmndGotoFrameAndResume system variable and you will need to calculate the number of frame, which can be done with the same tip action. Chassis numbers start with 0. More information on Micro-navigation:

  • Display text after an interval of time on the timeline

    Hi all

    I have an audio file on a drag and drop quiz. I want to display a text caption a few seconds after the end of the audio, I noticed that 'something' is a break from the game header before either for text captions. Is it possible that I have that works on a quiz slide / move.

    Thank you!

    Will try with an image. You do not change the point of suspension of the D & D, which is located at 1.5secs. For this reason only the audio never played before that the user has submitted the D & D. There is not need to slide that long either. I created this for you, and it works perfectly. Text with audio 2secs, I changed the suspension point of the D & D at 4secs. It's not because of me that the point of suspension does not appear in the timeline panel, I very much regret and recorded a feature request to make it visible.

  • Convertion of a code you put in a clip in 1 you put in the timeline?

    help I could really use help on how to change this conpatible with chronology.

    onClipEvent (load) {}

    data, you can change

    width = 550;

    Height = 400;

    Speed = 0.1;

    initial positions

    x_new = Math.random () * width;

    y_new = Math.random () * height;

    }

    onClipEvent (enterFrame) {}

    x movement

    If (x_new > this ._x)}

    sign_x = 1;

    } else {}

    sign_x = - 1;

    }

    DX = Math.abs(x_new-this._x);

    If ((dx>speed) |) (dx <-vitesse)) {

    This sign_x ._x += * speed;

    } else {}

    x_new = Math.random () * width;

    }

    movement of y

    If (y_new > this ._y) {}

    sign_y = 1;

    } else {}

    sign_y = - 1;

    }

    DY = Math.abs(y_new-this._y);

    If ((dy>speed) |) (dy <-vitesse)) {

    This ._y += sign_y * speed;

    } else {}

    y_new = Math.random () * height;

    }

    }

    For the code to load you can probably just stick as follows in the timeline...

    var width = 550;

    var height = 400;

    var speed = 0.1;

    var x_new = Math.random () * width;

    var y_new = Math.random () * height;

    For the part enterframe you can probably just change as follows, although you will probably also change "this" is the name of the instance of some object you are trying to control.  One thing that I notice everything around is an absence of declaration of variables, so don't forget to do that as well (no matter where you have the code)...

    var sign_x = 1;

    var sign_y = 1;

    this.onEnterFrame = {function)

    x movement

    If (x_new > this ._x)}

    sign_x = 1;

    } else {}

    sign_x = - 1;

    }

    DX = Math.abs(x_new-this._x);

    If ((dx>speed) |) (dx<-speed))>

    This sign_x ._x += * speed;

    } else {}

    x_new = Math.random () * width;

    }

    movement of y

    If (y_new > this ._y) {}

    sign_y = 1;

    } else {}

    sign_y = - 1;

    }

    DY = Math.abs(y_new-this._y);

    If ((dy>speed) |) (dy<-speed))>

    This ._y += sign_y * speed;

    } else {}

    y_new = Math.random () * height;

    }

    }

  • Create a button to force the read head to a specific frame in the timeline

    I have a slide with a timeline of about 60 seconds. Meanwhile, several things happen (text/images/objects appear and disappear, etc.). I now need the ability to allow the user to click on an object (button, text, image, whatever), which would allow to get to the next event in this slide. During the whole of this slide, I have a file audio unique reading of the narrative. So, this solution must have the ability to skip the long as well as audio and audio playback to another point in the timeline panel.

    Is it feasible in a simple way, without chopping upward as the sound signal into individual segments and the creation of click boxes?

    Maybe it wasn't clear: I suspect that the sound signal will stop when object to which it is connected

    is set to invisible,
