Basic iMovie... so frustrated questions

I am a long time user of iMovie... This latest version 10.01 seems to have way back.

How can I select several photos on the timeline and change the duration?

Why the background music does not disappear when I add pictures?

I am so frustrated with this latest version - I used to be able to make very detailed editing and synchronization of music - now it feels like a roll of the dice.

I'm on the most recent and iMac, el capitan and iMovie last.

To change the duration of multiple photos, hold down the SHIFT key, and then select several photos.  In the toolbar at the top of your screen, click the information button (the one that has an i with a circle around it).  You will see a box below and to the right length.  Enter the desired time.   Press return on your keyboard.   All of your selected photos will now have the same duration.

The background music should not disappear when you add photos.  Don't know why you are having this problem.    However, if you delete the photo to which is attached the audio clip, the audio will be deleted as well.  If your problem persists, you might try a simple reboot, or move your videos to a newly created project.

  • Pavilion dv6t factory (Basic vs. dynamic) Partitions question

    The 4 following partitions have been configured on my new laptop.

    (C, recovery (D, HP_Tools (Eand the SYSTEM)))

    The configuration of the disk was "Basic".

    When I created a new partition of data, my only choice was to change the disc "Dynamics", as a 'Basic' partition is only good for 4 partitions. There are several problems with a dynamic configuration (something good some bad). I want a separate DATA partition, but because HP has now added this unknown partition of HP_Tools you can not add another partition without changing the dynamic type.

    I like to use a separate partition to allow updates system automatic image even though I know I could lose my image with a faulty drive. The problem is that a disc hard 'dynamic' cannot restore an image correctly.

    I'm looking for comments or suggestions to the following:

    How important is the partition of HP_Tools?

    Store this image on the C: partition as the SYSTEM partition is separate? I've never seen a separate partition for the SYSTEM because it is usually part of the C: drive.

    Thank you

    As a follow-up, here's what I did.

    I reinstalled the original factory system

    Deleted the recovery partition

    Shrunk the partition 'C '.

    Created a partition "DATA" with unallocated disk space

    Since I now only 4 partitions of the hard drive has not been converted to dynamic. Now I can save the images on the new "base" partition, of course with the knowledge that the falls in hard drive failure I lose my image. Since I have also periodically to create an image on an external hard drive I consider this acceptable image backup approach.

  • Basic of Web Services question

    Hello

    We are on Oracle 11 G and we got a request from one of our external suppliers to send the data via web services. They use the MS .net technology to their end.

    I am not quite aware of the web service or their mode of operation. Could someone explain in simple English on what we need to do starting end 11 G from Oracle to send data via a Web Service.

    I don't know what questions I need to ask the seller, because they ask us to send data in XML format.

    Assistance or direction on this front is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Aravind

    In simple terms, a Web service possesses two elements

    Service-the one hosting the service and is available over http via endpoint, she understands and accepts data in accordance with the agreement (contract)

    Consumer/customer - will search for the Service and calls or sends a request to the Service according to the contract (wsdl).

    (Optional) request and Responses are defined in the WebService WSDL contract (hosted by the Service)

    In your case, if you need to send the data in XML format via http to the seller, then

    1. the seller must be hosting Webservice, so ask for the WSDL document

    2. try to access the WSDL in a browser and understand the request and response structures and what she expected

    3 create a Web Service client in accordance with this contract (WSDL) and call the Web service passing the query in XML data

    4. the vendor that hosts the service responds with a reply or an acknowledgment (everything that is defined in the WSDL document)

    Go through these

  • AS Basic code in MXML question

    Im a newb flex with a php background. PHP if I want to add a script in my HTML I just use the <? < code >? > to do.

    If I could do something like this:
    <? PHP
    If ($value > 5)
    {? >}
    value is greater than 5
    <? PHP} else {? >}
    the value is less than 5
    <? PHP}? >

    I searched and put on trial with the < mx:Script > and <! [CDATA []] > block, but have not really found any clarity. I use the mx:Script and CData, blocks, whenever I want to incorporate some AS code in my MXML? Examples would be immensely appreciated :)

    Thanks Dimival,

    I don't really understand how "use at any time" unless you called a function or similar. Any chance to show how you d code in the PHP example above?

    Also another question which is a bit confusing to me. If I want to display a string variable in a text box, how I wrote this? I know I can do a function bindable. Do I need to define the string as return value variable? This variable can then be used by {function.variable}?

    Your MXML in the end, while it is compiled, will become a class AS, so think of it as a whole script file. As a Script Unlike PHP blocks do not run as they appear on a page, as I said it's a class, after all, if the code is run when you need it. For example, let's say that the function you wrote above returns a string:


    private function compareValues(value:Number): String
    {
    If {(value > 5)
    "higher than 5" return;
    }
    else {}
    return «under 5 "»
    }
    }
    ]]>

    In this example, you want a TextInput to show if a value (in this case 7) is higher or lower than 5, if you call the compareValues function, which returns a string that is assigned to the text property of the TextInput control.
    As you can see this function is executed as the TextInput control makes a call, if the does' TextInput control nt make the call, while the code will not be executed.
    When you write code in Flex, you need to have very clear is not like PHP, in which the code is run in order to dynamically make a HTML in Flex, each file in the end will be considered to be a class AS, in the MXML files xml tags are translated as expressions, so ultimately each .mxml file is in fact an AS class, as someone wrote above, it's the same thing to write:

    in writing:


    var b = new Button()
    b.label = "test";
    addChild (b);
    ]]>

    at the end of the xml tag, will become the above code, the script code

    You can use as many blocks of Script you want, it's true, but I think it would be pointless to write more than one, because ultimately, everyhting becomes a huge BLOCK, a class. If you use components of xml tag to avoid writing this code inside a block of Script, and you can write functions and other type of code in the Script block, do not forget that in the end, EVERYTHING will be a class AS, a huge block of Script.

    Hope this helps you out, I suggest you read the first chapters of the Flex Developer's Guide or guide the implementation with Flex

  • LabVIEW basics - Cahnging Boolean State question based on the input signal

    Hi all

    I would like the State to change the Boolean indicator based on a simulated sine wave signal. I have partially managed to do this but need help to develop it.

    See the attached vi. At the present time changes Boolean false to true when the value of the signal is greater than 8 or lower than-8.

    The focus I need is:

    Once the signal passes more than 8 (and the Boolean value becomes true), I hope it becomes false again to a value of 9, but only after the peak value was passed or when the signal is down.

    Similarly on the negative side of the graph, I want the Boolean value to become reality at 8-under, stay true until after the peak value was passed and then back to false when the value is greater than-9.

    Any suggeastions?

    Thank you

    While Crossrulz responded, I had a little look.

  • Basic functionality Web - Security Question

    Hi all

    Assuming the following:

    -you use in your digital data series ID's

    -with php, you make a search query to get a number of points-, and then you view the results in a loop in a list of web page view.

    - then on each line, you change a button for that item. Here, the link is something like: editpage.php? id = <? PHP echo $record-> getField ('item_id');? >

    -now, when you click on the edit page - it will make another query to get all the details of the order of the day and view a change form - etc.

    Problem: in this case - anyone can simply change the url = xxx to any other number id and it will search from the page of another record.

    Q: HOW can lock us this in order to avoid the above scenario and it is a more secure system?

    BTW: A method that we can use is to have a second field as a random body of numbers in the table data - search for the two--where people will have a hard time to guess like this link: editpage.php? id = <? PHP echo $record-> getField ('item_id');? > & random = <? PHP echo $record-> getField('randomnum);? >

    even if we did not use of $_GET ['id'] and saved as cookie instead - a user could still change that too...

    THE BEST SUGGESTIONS to lock things?

    You should always check whether the user has the appropriate permissions editing. So, on your editing page, make a request before allowing first has an editing tool. Of course, the same is true for insert and delete.

  • Basic error / exception management Question

    Hello

    I searched on the dev guide, forum, etc., and I can't always find any concise information on how to handle errors or make treatment in the APEX of the exceptions.

    Simply that I missed it completely!

    For example, I want to run a prior deletion process (pl/sql), and if it fails - I don't want the following process to remove the record! I'm actually trying to remove a name before OID tns descriptor I delete my application tns name record.

    I'm trying to do so by the presence of a process that is called on the delete key after calculations and validations--but--with a sequence number - lower than that of the automatice rank of treatment.

    This should be simple, right?

    I'm assuming that I need to throw an exception some how in my pl/sql block when it fails; Also, make sure that the treatment STOPS - I don't want the record to delete.

    Sincere thanks,
    Troy

    Published by: troydba on June 9, 2009 14:52

    Troy,

    You can create a hidden page element, say P1_X. create an after - submit calculation to set P1_X to null.

    In the first process, if the operation fails (and you want to prevent deletion of records in the second process), set P1_X to a non-null value, for example,

    : P1_X: = "stop";

    Adding a condition (type element is null) for the second process, naming P1_X as element in the condition. The process is triggered only if P1_X is null.

  • Basic question about Flash CS5 Pro

    I apologize for my question here but I couldn't find a Forum so basic Flash where my question would be held. I'm editing my AVCHD in CS5 movies and tried to add some animations with Flash. After two days of hard work, I managed to create a SWF file to a motion tween that I could add to PrPro: the SWF is a card on which a ship (vector) moves from one port to the other. (I managed to size, modify the movement, etc.). So far, is good. I am stuck at the next step: I would like to move the ship at the next port, after it remains to the present for a few seconds, but I can't handle this. I can add a timeline and a new motion tween, but the ship won't be exactly in the same place where she ended the previous trip. I don't know that there must be a simple solution. Also, I have a few questions (very primitive) that I have post in the appropriate Forum of Flash (if I find). Sorry for the long post and I'd appreciate any help. LACI.

  • Have to restore the ipod after downloading the update. Question, help please

    Hello!

    I have a large music library on my iTunes and so all my music does not fit on my iPod Classic 160 GB, which is fine.

    I have the latest version (last one that came out) the iPod Classic 160 gb.

    I have the latest version of iTunes.

    I use Windows 7.

    So basically I had no questions for recent years until last week.

    For a long time, I went through my collection of music [in view of SONGS] and placed check marks next to all the songs I want on my ipod.

    It's the way I like it. I have enough free space on my ipod for new music, I get every month so that it works.

    I connect the iPod to iTunes and SYNC my library, and it adds new songs I added to my iTunes library since I'm finally connected.

    Okay - here is the problem.

    Last week, when I connected my iPod Classic to iTunes, I got a saying there was an update to download.

    I am used to what is going on all the time with my iPhone, but I can't remember the last time there was an update for my iPod.

    Intrigued and not think what awkward or troublesome would come from him, I'm agree to download and install the new update.

    When he did download it says that it does not recognize the device (iPod). After searching for hours for help, I finally disconnected, stop, restart and rec-connected my iPod to iTunes.

    He says that he has no music on my iPod. I checked and it was not. He disappeared. ***!?!

    Fortunately, all my music was always in iTunes so I went with my library SYNC (again, I have the titles I want selected already). He said he could only and basically the only option was to reset my iPod to its factory settings. Because the way that my iPod is empty anyway, I thought, fine, so I did. I have restored its original settings.

    Later, I did the same thing after disconnecting. Shut down, restart, clean the cache and the registry, etc and then reconnected the iPod to iTunes. My first thought was maybe I should try to download the update again - since the ipod is empty at this time - what the *, why not - I would rather finish now than get my music on my iPod to be prompted to download new update, and start all over. So I clicked Check For Updates when my iPod was connected to iTunes and it said there is no new update. I don't remember the exact update, but I'm sure it was like 2.05 something, and what I have now (and had before all this happened) was 2.04 or something like that. So does well, no update? No matter what. At this point, I'm SO frustrated - I want just to SYNC my library via checked/selected songs and get back them on my iPod.

    When I went to SYNC, nothing happened.

    So I went to the tab that showed the music and it only gives me the option to SYNC my library of ENSEMBLE music (which is too large and does not fit on my iPod) - OR - I can go through this form on this page and browse and select the ARTISTS that I would like to add.

    It's so frustrating. First of all, I don't want to pass by and re - select all the songs I want to add - the main reason being - he did already - when you click on my library and select the songs view, you can see all the songs that I previously have selected/checked remains unchanged. Second, if I had to do it the way he wants me to all simply by selecting ARTISTS who will not work.

    Sorry for this long crazy question - but basically - how now factory - reset iPod Classic for SYNCING with my iTunes library with the songs of checked/selected, I already have checked - and not to go through and do it by limiting my will and have to select only the artist (not to mention that I did as I want).

    I appreciate any help or insight that someone could offer.

    Much appreciated!

    On the settings screen of the iPod summary (what you see in iTunes when you select iPod), there is a checkbox to Sync only checked songs and videos (wording may be different for your iPod).  Enable (check) this setting in combination with sync entire music library.

  • Files missing after moving iMovie events from local disk to external HARD disk. Are they lost?

    Hi all

    Tonight, I tried to clear up little space on my local HARD drive and wanted to spend my events/projects of the iMovie local library to an external HARD disk, which I connected via firewire 800.

    I opened iMovie (v10.1 - current version with all updates installed). I clicked on an event to highlight and then the FILE--> COPY OF LIBRARY of selected EVENTS.

    There, I sailed on the external drive and created an iMovie new library called ReWatch2015. I copied successfully eight different events, including files from my external hard drive.

    The ultimate goal is to get rid of them on the HARD drive internal, I highlighted the 20 remaining events I wanted to move and then used the FILE--> MOVE of EVENTS at the LIBRARY and specified ReGen_2015.

    It seemed at first glance to move. In fact, he seemed to move too darn fast in my opinion. When I looked at home in the library of the external drive, they were nothing more than a string of question marks, with a message telling me that particular item is not found and re-import the original clips. It's impossible because I have not kept the original source material on my internal drive. I had asked before if they are preserved in the library of iMovie and told me Yes, so I that's why I deleted the original source material.

    Don't see no activity on the disks, I did the cmd - Z to go back. Events have now shown upward into the iMovie library internal. HOWEVER, they still have the question mark, with msg on reimport. What is scary, is that if I go to ALL projects of them have visible thumbnails. Yet, when I click on any of these thumbnails to load the project into the editor, I am back to the page of question mark again.

    Are the file on drive HARD internal, and they just disassociated projects, or two-thirds of my library of events of 2015 are now toast? I was not under any type of backup Time Machine to be able to recover them, and frankly, if they left, it is not the end of the world since I was of the .mp4 displayed on Vimeo. But, I would just assume the iMovie library intact if possible.

    Suggestions on how to recover are greatly appreciated!

    Robert

    Hi Robert

    Am having exactly the same problem on a new iMac 2016 running El Capitan: when I want to MOVE events such as you describe it, they sometimes get lost in the original library, both in the target library. Like you, I noticed that a such attempt to move just a very short time even if several GB of data play a role. Sometimes however, iMovie is able to move successfully. I my case, I had to re - import events so lost since an additional backup, I got on another external drive that I couldn't find the clips 'lost' on the HARD drive more. Very scary!

    I think it's an iMovie/El Capitan question which could be corrected with future updates. The only solution I've found is to the events of the FIRST COPY, and then check if the target is really OK and only then select the MOVE option, which will remove the original library to free up space. In addition, I plan to copy on a regular basis my library full iMovie on an extra disk to backup using the finder.

    Did you find anything in the meantime?

    Stop using XP in April 2014.

    Although I know that some companies still using Windows 2000, so...

    You're not real specific-, but the basic answer to your question is to find a list of the updates through the catalogue and download/save to some media.  Integrate as much as possible in support of installation that you plan to use after the date of 'dead' of the then 13 year operating system and several.

    Drivers are not the responsibility of Microsoft unless it happens to be Microsoft hardware.  Go through the manufacturer (and it is possble the manufacturer will be * no * drivers for older operating systems supply - like XP.)

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • I bought Adobe Acrobat Pro XI through Dell, the it - installed but the Basic program starts not even - the only thing I can do is open the forms - I'm tired of working with foreign personnel to solve my problems can someone seated?

    1. Last week I bought Adobe Acrobat Pro XI - it does not work - I can access the forms - but I can't access the Basic program - reps tech worked on it for a long period of time last week and now I can't even open the Basic program.  Frustrated


    2 weeks as my hard drive (XPS18) locked Windows me - I could not go to a restore point, I couldn't do anything.  So I had to start from scratch - re-load the operating system - windows 8.1 Pro 8.1.  Then it is time for reloading MS Office 2013 - I got my Dell/MS product key - but had to get involved Microsoft (do whatever they did) to allow me to put it back in my current product key.  All resolved, then is the time to go to my Adobe product - I've contacted Dell and I shared the purchase and shipment showing slip $ 299.00 for the Adobe product.  I assumed that it is in my digital library - I could not find any digital library - so I called the customer support number (Overseas) and they couldn't help me.  Bottom line, I paid for an installed electronic product and don't have no way to access to re - load.  After several days and calls - I am at my last appeal on October 23 in the morning - bottom line the tech rep could not find any information on my Adobe product.  In order for me to get my business online, I ended up buying another Adobe product price still an another $ $299,00.  Yes, it was a new version of what I had, but again he did have to pay full price, even if it's an upgrade, then after installation, integration, and the Fund - I asked for documentation for the Adobe product and the license key.  He said "do not worry about this, all you have to do is call the customer service number and we will help you" - well this isn't enough for me - because you can see above what happened earlier and I am complete was dissatisfied with the results.   I've been a long-time buyer/user and believe in the Dell product - but the service the customer to your loyal customers really sucks!  As a consumer of your product (s), all that I pay because I should receive the required documentation, the numbers of license and any information related to that hardware, software and firmware - I should have a way to access.
