iMovie 09 Transition Problem

[bpotter]

Hi guys,

I've recently started to use iMovies 09 and have found it quite easy.

Although on my latest project one transition I'm using (mosaic) doesn't accept the change to the duration. I can change the duration in the inspection box, but then it doesn't accept that change in the actual transition down in project area.

It says 6.0s in the inspection box, but 1.0s on the actual transition.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Ben

You may not have enough "handles" to make it any longer. Your transition can't be longer than either of the clips on the side of it.

Try it in a place in the video where your other long transitions have proven that they work.

Hard to say without seeing it, but that's my guess.

Thanks Mac in school. You are correct- seems that a transition cannot be longer than the clip on either side of it.
