have an imported video but trying to edit and cut the clips that I am only able to select the full video to put down in my film, not just the clip I want to choose.

This is a new and improved feature in iMovie. You must hold down the 'R' key while clicking on the part of the item you want.  By default, the full clip will be added to the time line.

  • Noob help: release of video Clips with buttons

    Hi guys,.

    I take an intro Flash and Action Script and for my last class, I need to create a portfolio that contains 5 unique buttons that trigger the 5 unique video clips. I have a hard time with this. I've been able to trigger the 1st clip with the first button (although I can't stop), but I can not trigger all the other films with any other button.

    Here is my code:

    Stop();
    chuck1_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, regarderMovie);

    function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void

    {
    spaceship_mc. Play();
    }

    chuck2_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.Click, playSaucers);


    function playSaucers(event:MouseEvent):void
    {
    saucers_mc. Play();
    }

    Nothing happens when I click on chuck2_btn when I test the movie. I think I need to create a variable or a class, but I'm not sure. I am a super noob with this stuff. Any thoughts? Thank you!

    Rick

    You should learn how to use the help documentation to find answers as how to use the visible property.  For the code you have shown earlier, here is what you can try setting 1 to replace.

    Stop();

    spaceship_mc. Visible = false;

    saucers_mc. Visible = false;

    slideshow_mc. Visible = false;

    chuck1_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, regarderMovie);

    function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void

    {

    spaceship_mc. Visible = true;

    saucers_mc. Visible = false;

    slideshow_mc. Visible = false;
    spaceship_mc. Play();
    }

    chuck2_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.Click, playSaucers);

    function playSaucers(event:MouseEvent):void
    {

    spaceship_mc. Visible = false;

    saucers_mc. Visible = true;

    slideshow_mc. Visible = false;
    saucers_mc. Play();
    }

    etc...

    It could be refined, as with a function that hides everything and use it every time before you do that you want to show visible.  You may find it necessary to include saying the films of gotoAndStop (1) as well.

    It's about as generous as I'll get.  It is important that you learn things, and give you a solution won't help to do so.

  • Help, please! Video clips nested under the navigation bar

    Hello world

    Only, I had my first lesson in flash a couple of days, but decided to venture building a toolbar of navigation with grouped clips. My intention is that once the mouse rolls, more clip of a particular movie, another video clip fades below (my version of a menu "drop-down"). Just to make that happen, the clip that fades, is also composed of particular video clips with their own behaviors (to the tween effects of reversal).

    I can make each individual movie clip behave as it should, but I can't make them work once they are assembled. I enclose a link that contains the file that I want to talk (submenu), in the hope that one of you, good Samaritans would take a glance and tell me where I was wrong.

    I hope that I've not absolutely shocked you guys with my level of ignorance.

    It's just with picture labels you gave everywhere.

    and it's the same 'more' and 'out '.

    the player is confused to play including a fist

    I removed some lables and seen that it works partially. (not debug the entire fla)

  • You can sharpen video clips in iMovie 10?

    Given that I have not found a sharpening tool, I have a feeling that the direct answer is no.

    But there may be a type of workaround?   My situation is that I have a video where the camera was about 30 feet away from the action.   The raw video is strong, but several times I want to crop so a person especially in a group is close-up for a few seconds or more.  Of course, when you approach you lose quality, so I want to see if I can make any kind of manipulation to make the not so fuzzy cropped image.

    Thanks for your help!

    Unfortunately, you are right. Their is no sharpening tool and since iMovie not exception plugins there is no third-party solution. What I found, it's that, with a few sensible adjustments to contrast and brightness, you can make the clip appear sharper, so you could try that and see if that will help.

  • Need help to synchronize video clips and main audio

    I have 20 videos (symbols of the library) from about 400-800 views each. None has its own audio. I want to play in sequence on the main timeline, synchronized to an audio clip that runs along the timeline. The problem is that I can not understand how to stop the timeline to allow the clips to play uninterrupted audio.

    At the present time, I have clips play in sequence, I like: each clip on the timeline has a label and occupies 10 images, just so that I can read the labels. The last frame of each clip on the main timeline, I have a stop() on an Actions layer command. The last frame of each MC, I have a command that looks like _root.gotoAndPlay ("nextLabelName").

    The problem is the audio on the main timeline plays only for these 10 images, then stops to let each MC to play, which is exactly what I told it to do. How can I get audio from the main to continue scenario to play and keep that it synced to the sequence of MCs? Perhaps, I go about it the wrong way.

    OK, I think I've answered my own question. After some more research in some newsgroups, I found a useful code. Here's what I did, in case someone else has this problem:

    (1) kept just as it was, but removed the audio clip on the main timeline.
    (2) in the library, I went in the binding of the audio settings and he gave a C:\myaudio identifier.
    (3) created a new MC with 1 single framework, in which I inserted this code:
    SND = new Sound (this);
    snd.attachSound ("C:\myaudio");
    SND. Start();
    (4) in the main timeline, I inserted a keyframe, where I wanted the audio to start and drag the new MC to the editing table, off the stage.

    Now the clips play in sequence, the audio plays all the way through, and everything is synchronized. You would think there would be a simpler way to do it... but you would be wrong.

  • I'm trying to edit a video clip

    Then he tells me that I have to download Photoshop elements, well I already installed, it takes me to the download with download of giant, 1.6 screen something Gigs. Is there a file separated, I need to download to use video option change? Thank you, Don.

    Either way, I installed QuickTime if it's important.

    Swingin59

    Thanks for the update.

    Just a few things to think about...

    1. If you buy Photoshop Elements bundle 13/Premiere elements 13 it's going to cost less than buying the program individually.

    2 If you buy as a download from Adobe programs, you get the installation files for each that are specific to the type of operating system that you have... for example Windows or Mac. Adobe sells only download. If you buy the box of the set of authorized dealer, you get the installation discs for two, one for Windows and Mac.

    3. with the purchase of download of Adobe in general, you can request a refund/return within 30 days of the purchase. If you buy products from an authorized dealer, then you are governed by the seller's return/refund policy.

    Group buying is good for these necessary features an integration of programs (same version), including organizing items 13, including the two programs share in this arrangement.

  • Help! Remove video Clips

    OK... This is my problem... I'm doing a portfolio site and I my thumb nails are created dynamically through XML... very similar to the example of galleries in the sample and the tutorials. Only problem is that I have several keyframes with different vignettes that must be copied to a different XML file. I managed to do work, but the first image thumbnails are still playing on the second image... How can I remove the dynamically created movie clips?

    You must record the number of elements so that you can use in the next button. Add a var to the timeline, or maybe another world:

    _Global.mccount = 0;

    In createGallery(), set the number of thumbnails to this:

    _Global.mccount = gallery_array.length;

    Then you can use this number in the next button:

    next_btn.onRelease = function() {}
    for (var i = 0; i)<_global.mccount;>
    _root ["image" + i + "_mc"] .removeMovieClip ();
    }
    gotoAndStop (2);
    }

  • iMovie crashes while editing video clip

    Hello

    Whenever I try to edit a video clip in the library on imovie, just put my cursor over them to view the clip causes my imovie crashing. It's a lenghy-er clip, long of only 6 min. except that everything works fine. I have imovie and the latest OS. Any suggestion would be great, thanks.

    iMovie crashes while I have it change. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    "If the accident happens when you change a particular clip then remove and re-import the clip. If it happens on several clips then I copy all the items in the timeline panel, create a new project and paste there the clips. If it persists in the new project try to open iMovie, hold down the command and option and delete the preferences. "(Jim Wanamaker - June 8, 2016)

  • Clicking on a video clip selects the entire clip, rather than the range.  I did the update and it still happens.  Help!

    Problem * by clicking on a video clip selects the entire clip, instead of cuisiniere.* *.

    I restarted my computer like new.  Lost the iMovie app.  Re downloaded in the App Store.  Now I have a crappy iMovie on the App Store application.  Then I made, I got the updated version and I did.  Always update does not resolve the problem.  I'm sucking in a hole because I need to make new videos for work and I can't.  In addition, I'm too broke to buy Final Cut.  In addition, all apple stores have a waiting list of 5 days before they see you!  Thank you Apple with a 6 bites taken out of it!

    I had a similar problem and it was driving me crazy. I think you press and hold the 'R' key now to select a range, otherwise, it will select the whole clip. I think it's a goal a feature and not a bug? Hope that helps!

  • Help, please... Flash is ignoring my Video Clip

    I create a slide show on Flash 8 and I want the last slide actually be a video clip. It's a slideshow where images just play themselves, fading and fading, one after the other. No interactivity of the Viewer.

    So I imported the .mpg file, I need and set it in the last image in the slideshow. But for some reason any Flash is ignorant. Preview SWF Gets the last frame before the video clip, ignore the video clip and starts in the first frame of the timeline.

    The funny thing is, I've done this before and I can't understand what I'm doing wrong this time.

    MY LINE OF CONDUCT:
    1 file > import... > import video
    2. in the import of video, under the section SELECT VIDEO dialog, I select 'your computer' and with the ' Browse... '. ", select the desired .mpg file.
    3. in the DEPLOYMENT section, I mark "Progressive download from a web server." I prefer not to embed the video in the SWF file, because the video is about 6 minutes long. What I said 'embed video in SWF and play in timeline' can cause audio sinc questions involving more than 2 minutes long video clips.
    4. in the ENCODING section, I select profile high quality Flash 8 and leave the settings as they are. My encoding settings:

    Click here to see the Configuration of the encoding

    5. I select 'None' for the SKINNING

    6 then I press "Finish" and wait for flash encode my video file. When it is complete the encoding process, in my library I find the FLVPlayback instance and on the stage, is what I assume to be the first frame of the video clip (in my case just a black frame) with a Flash Video icon in the Center.

    When I saw the SWF or post - the video is ignored. Flash it jumps just as if he were not there.

    I tried to import a much shorter video file and it worked. So I think maybe this has to do with the length. But first, I used the exact same 6 minute video clip in Flash before and it worked fine. Secondly, I don't remember hearing about the problems with video clips of 6 minutes, Flash 8 or so.

    I also tried to import the same .mpg to a new Flash document, it set the default image single layer 1. But same result - the video would not play.

    I use a PC, quite capable of managing this kind of work. The .mpg file made from a .avi file using Sony Vegas video editing software. He played in all of the media players and seems perfectly fine.

    Any ideas? I am really puzzled. The fact that it worked before and suddenly gives me problems is particularly frustrating. Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    Are you going to put a stop(); action on the frame with the video? If not then flash will just a loop around the beginning or skip your video file.

  • How iMovie organizing imported video clips

    I just imported quite a few video clips (c. 400) to a folder in my office in iMovie.  Most of the clips are pretty short - maybe less than a minute.
