transitions shrinking clips???
This is a new one for me as I have worked with iMovieHD for some time. I was re-working an older project that I completed 2 years ago--updating, adding new shots, etc.... Mostly, the work was added to the end, so nothing I had previously done was touched.
At the last minute, I thought "I have time to clean up the older section with some nice effects and transitions." So, I started adding transitions and was about 15 minutes into my movie (starting from the start) when I noticed that all of a sudden, my music bed was no longer correct. At first I didn't "get it," but eventually I noticed that the portion of the movie I had worked on was now significantly smaller, like about 30 seconds.
After rooting around, I came to the conclusion that the transitions had, for some mysterious reason, shrunk the clips.
So, my questions are:
--am I correct--do the transitions shrink the clips some?
--what can I do if I wish to add transitions yet keep the clips and the music connected? Using the "lock audio" did not work since the problem was the overall length of the section that had been tied to one specific music bed was now shorter.
Obviously I can go backwards (and did some) and delete transitions, but I really wanted to include this work if possible. But I can't shrink the music and specific parts of the music were tied to specific spots in the movie.
Ideas?
