Select the parts of a clip in a project in iMovie?

I used to be able to do this, very easy, but when I opened my iMovie last night I wasn't able to select parts.  Now, it seems to select the clip and I don't want to do that.

Is there something I need to change in my preferences - or changed iMovie and select only the parts of a clip is no longer an option?

Thanks in advance,

David

You're supposed to now hold the "R" key while selecting a part of a clip.

  • Select the part of the video image and place it in the video

    Sorry to bother you all and I can't even be sure of what I want to do is first - I have the master collection and one of the reasons why I've finally graduated to Adobe with video creation is a coach showed me the a few years ago how to select the part of my video (in my case (, horse's head) and playing that clip in the corner of the main video at the same time - until the head (for example) is considered a close to the top in the corner and play at the same time. I now cannot locate the trainer and may not work on terminology appropriate to get a reasonable response on the research. When he showed me how do, he simply pointed out the top horses for the horse played and clicked on something in the menu and it was represented at the same time. If anyone can help - even with the terminology of search - I thought it was PIP but I can't seem to get what I want from these tuts. As you can see I'm not ready for the great film, but I'm learning better what I can create. Thanks in advance, Julie

    Julie,

    Place a copy of the clip on a higher video track above the original. Place an effect of cropping on this clip to keep only the part you want to use. Then use Motion/scale/Position to create a PIP effect.

  • By selecting the part of a picture in paint

    When I open a picture in Paint in Windows 7, there is a small white square "handles", bottom, right and the lower right corner. I can use these to crop the picture from the bottom and right sides, but there is no squares at the top and to the left for some reason any. Why are these squares on the top and left sides? What is the point of them only being down and to the right? If photos open in paint with these grips on all sides and corners, it would make cropping extremely simple, since you have not all first select an area, you just move the margins to where you want the border of the picture to be.

    So if I want to crop from the top or left, I opened the with the rectangular selection tool select and draw a rectangle around the area I want to keep. This works very well for simple cropping where the location of the agricultural frontier of dotted line is not critical. The defined area that results from cutting is described with a line dotted with the same white square "handles" on the sides and the corners, but this time, they are on all sides and corners, as it should. The problem is, once you release the button of the mouse and the harvest dotted area is defined, you can not adjust the crop box by entering one of the white squares and dragging the dotted line without DISTORTING the content within the cropped area. Why would you do THAT? I thought that these handles were there, so you can just move the initial harvest defined by the tool border select.

    Does anyone know how to accurately adjust the selected area in a photo?

    I have to admit that I don't know the details of the use of paint, but you could download IrfanView, which is free, able to view a wide variety of image format files, converts between these formats of image files and cultures of the images in the way you describe how you think it should work.

    It is in IrfanView, you set the crop area by dragging on the area and can then adjust by moving the up, down, left or right (not the corners).  The image in the collection area does not distort.

  • Rotation and expand the part of a clip

    Hi all!

    Please forgive my complete ignorance on proper terminology and lack of experience, but I need help.

    I have a clip that I would have a section of it turns 12 degrees and expanded. But I don't know how to do.

    Once again. Not the image, but just a simple article.

    The section is busy, but does not move outside the limits where it begins and ends.

    Basically I have 3 objects that are all different, but do the same thing almost.

    Except the one in the middle.

    It is cooked and smaller.

    Help, please.

    Hi Mistangbuff,

    I'm so not that.

    I don't have the same options you have.

    Sorry about that. We should have asked for your version of Premiere Pro. You use the CS6 version, which does not have the function of masking. Use the same technique, but try an effect instead mast garbage. It should work with this film.

    Thank you

  • iMovie doesn't let me select a portion of a clip

    I use to be able to select only the parts of a clip to create a movie. I can't iMovie to display the thin yellow border. There is a thickness. The only way I can now select a part of the clip is to pull the handle of the thick yellow border to another who is not very effective.

    You must now hold the 'R' key while you move the cursor over the part of the item you want to select.  You can also set it at first and click on 'I' then place it at the end and click on 'o'

    Bergen-Belsen,

    Stroke and the point behind it are locked paths. The background is a blue square with a white line above.
    Of course, you need to unlock (click on the lock button)
    How can I get the invisible race
    You can click the eye button
    and the square is divided into two parts? (is there a pathfinder as in InDesign?)
    There is a Pathfinder (window > Pathfinder, bundled with the palette/Panel transformation); You can also draw a straight line where you want the division and to object > path > divide objects below.

    If you want to cut the shape of racing out of the place, instead of the two steps above, you can simply apply the object > path > divide objects below the stroke and turn that subsequently the invisible part, or delete. or you can select at the time and just use Pathfinder > less prominent.

  • The passage of the part of an image that shows through a clipping mask?

    In CS5, after having has been using text clipping mask to mask an image, is there a way to move the image to a new location, so a different part of the image shows the text?

    Thank you.

    Web.Boards,

    You can select the image with the direct Selection tool, or through the palette layers/panel and move it (with the arrow keys, ClickDragging, with object > Tramsform > Move, or something else). or just ClickDrag it from the beginning.

  • How to select a part of the message under macOS Sierra?

    In previous versions of Mac OS x, I was able to select a part of the message (text / iMessage) in the Messages application. Now, if I try to do the same, Tapback is enabled. It's really annoying, as I often have to copy the entire message body, paste into an editor and then to do the editing.

    Which should not happen if you simply select the text of the message by double-clicking or click-and - drag. That action works the same way it always has.

    Tapback happen if you press and hold - in other words, if do not quickly move the cursor.

    If you are still unable to work, please review your Trackpad preferences. Maybe change a setting arbitrary will correct what you are experiencing. Check accessibility > mouse and Trackpad in the same way: change a setting to determine if what it fixes.

  • 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!
