• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I am making a movie for my class, introducing students to our classroom. I used a great trailer that the kids will love but realized I had just made a trailer. I now need to add a three minute video. I know I can convert the trailer to a project but it would appear that I cannot add clips or extend an existing clip beyond a few seconds. I need to get this done by end of day Friday.... HEEEELLLLP! :Oops:
Admittedly, I am not at all tech savvy and this may be a simple fix but I'll need help finding said fix.

Thanks, so much, in advance for any help!

I'm confused. Your original footage is still there, so why not:

a. Make the trailer
b. Export it as a QuickTime movie
c. Start a new project (your full movie) with the same footage
d. Add the trailer QuickTime movie to the new project

Thanks to you both - I didn't know this was possible either.
