Frame accurate editing help required.

Is there no iMovie 11 Help section that instructs you how to edit a movie (cut footage out you no longer require etc.), preferably to the frame.
The Get Started section of help jumps from Lesson 3 adding video to Lesson 4 Enhancing your project.
Is it me?

Thanks, thumbnail slider helps but actual frame editing seems a bit hit and miss, sometimes works sometimes doesn't (sometimes cuts 2 frames rather than 1), I found it easier (and more accurate) to cut a few frames away from where i wanted and then select an individual frame and move this using the Left and Right cursor keys before deleting the unwanted frame(s) using Cmd+X to cut selected frames.
BTW I eventually found some editing help in Browse help (there is none in the Get started section, although it is demonstrated in a video in lesson 3, 'Add video to your project') but it was well hidden!
Browse help/Create an iMovie project/Trim video clips/Trim unwanted frames from a video clip.
Why they hide it here i'll never know, surely everyone wants to trim their video, or is it just me,haha.

RAW IMAGE EDITING -help required

Please can someone help me with this.
I look at my RAW images in Organiser and then I use the EDIT tap to move to the RAW IMAGE edit section with the image I want to edit.
After I have edited the image- I move the image back to the main EDIT screen and then save as a Jpeg File in another folder.
The problem I am having is, when I then go back to the Organiser, I cant open the unedited original RAW image again, not sure why this is?
although I can see a small thamb-nail of the image it does not open but keeps on searching.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thank you in advance

To be sure I understand your workflow, I'll put it in my own words...
- You select a raw file in the Organizer, and you choose to edit it in full edit/expert mode (that depends on the PSE version).
- The file opens in the specific dialog panel of ACR, with its typical sliders
- When you have done your edits there, you can either be satisfied with them (case 1) or want to do further editing in the PSE editor with layers or other tools (case 2)
- case 1 - you simply click 'Done' and you are back in the organizer. The thumbnail is updated to show the edits.
- case 2 - You click 'Open' and the file opens in the normal editor mode of PSE. You do further edits, and you save the result in the format and the folder you want. When you close the image in the editor, you get back to the Organizer. If you have set your 'save as' with the right checkbox, the new jpeg is stored in the the Catalog as a version set.
Your problem seems to be that once you have edited your original raw file, you don't see it in its original state without the edits ?
If so, in the bar just under the tabs, you have a menu on the right (4 bars icon). You just set the choice to camera raw defaults, and you are shown the original raw image without your edits. Note that if you choose 'Shift + Open', you open a new copy without changing the previous settings saved in the xmp sidecar file.

975x Platinum Power Up Edition Help Required

Good Afternoon,
Have just purchased the following setup
Motherboard: MSI 975x Platinum Power Up Edition
Processor: Intel E6600
Ram: Cruicial Ballistix 2 x 1GB PC6400 Dual Channel (MSI Say It Is Supported)
GFX: MSI GeForce 7950GT 512MB PCI E
HDD: 2 x 80gb Seagate (Connected Via Sata)
CDROM: Sony DVD-RW
PSU: Hiper Modular 530W Black SLI Certified PSU
Think thats all you need, its been built by an experienced pc builder.
It will not start, when we switch it on it boots for about 5 seconds then shuts down and restarts, the error reporting leds are in the following combination:
Red Green
Red Red
Originally we were running Geil Ram, but realised MSI didn't support this so got some Crucial however it still doesn't work, I have read a number of threads on this forum and tried resetting the CMOS and playing around with the memory configs, any help and advice on how to get this working would be much appreciated.
Thanks

@deastwood:
Can we call you Clint for short?
Sympathies - We have a similar setup. I returned my first Corsair twins as the board would not boot with them as a twin. Turns out one was supposedly defective. BUT - when I recently replaced my Corsair twin 800s that did not work eventually with twin 1Gb CL4 800 Crucial Ballistix stix - I had a severe reboot issue and frequently - the system would not start without hitting the reset or the cold boot start button on the powerup many times. When it did not start I had the same LED settings you noted.
My colleagues who run a "confuser" shop, took out the Crucial memory, tried it in another 975 board (I think the ASUS 5B delux). and the Asus board booted just fine with the memory. They left the momory at 1.8VDIMM - stock - even though Crucial recommends 2.2 for these stix.
They removed the 975XPUE battery, reset the CMOS, and plugged the battery back in - VOILA - everything worked and today I am running as below. We have no idea why it would work after a CMOS reset as I had tried that before (but perhaps I had not left it long enough or did not press the reset button on the CMOS in the right sequence - something real simple like that????? ).
BOTTOM LINE: since they did that - it has no reboot issue - and all I did with the memory is set it manually to 5-4-4-12. It is like a ROCK now.
Others are more qualified than I about this board - but suggest you might go back to basics:
1) check the memory works in another board
2) remove battery, wait 10 minutes, press CMOS reset button for 10 seconds, replace battery
3) check yourself all the power/CPU fan connections and that you have the 4-pin molex connected to the GRAKA
(do you have a 20 or 24 pin power bar ?)
4) reseat the memory (just use one stick in either of the green mem slots)
5) do not bother connecting the IDE/CDROM until you get to post.
6) Just use one SATA drive (connected to SATA 1 (top))
7) Put in a less powerful GRAKA (a radeon 600 or NVIDIA equivalent) and run it with a VGA connector.
8) Read the MOAN guide just in case you all forgot something real simple. It does not take that long to ge through it.
It took me quite a few fiddles and frustrations to get my 6600 rig solid - sorry to hear about yours not even kick starting.
But just be a bit patient and take it from the start with as few extra bits of kit til u get past post to the Bios.
Happy rails.. and let us know how trhings are progressing... keith

Edit Frame Accurate To Music?

I have a beginner's question, since I've never used Final Cut Express before. Is it possible to do totally frame accurate editing, so that you can edit video perfectly in-time with music? Can you zoom into the video timeline and see each individual frame, and move an edit point to line up with a beat?

Hi Ian, I use the same technique as Michel and it works pretty well.
You don't have to hit m at every beat, but having a regular and continuos set of markers in a section of audio, helps you to decide later which marker to use to sync your video. Obviously, I use markers on the audio clip, not on the timeline, so they are bound to it.
About precision: it's possible to go out of sync, but it's easy enough to be precise if you listen your music carefully. I guess another factor for precision may be the Mac responsivness: faster systems allow to be more precise than slower ones (I saw a big improvement moving from older Macs to my new MacBook Pro).
In any case I agree with you: too many cuts may become boring or distracting. In fact, I sometimes use this technique to conclude a movie with a lively rithmic music: then I sync a selection of stills and/or short clips to the music just before the movie end. At most one minute, usually no more than that.

Any way to get frame accurate in icon view mode?

Does anyone know if there is a way set frame accurate in points in icon view mode? I know that if you are "hover scrubbing" a clip, and then click on it you can use the JKL keys to shuttle through the footage. But is there any way to go frame-by-frame through the footage as well?
I ask because I have a 4-camera shoot where the clips were synced by a slate clap. I'd like to make a multicam clip from the shots so am going through and setting the "clap" as the in point of each clip, and then using them as sync points for the multicam clip. I hover scrub to the general area of the slate clap (works great) then use the JKL key to narrow in "clap" even more (also works great). However, it is nearly impossible to stop exactly on the frame where the slate hits using the JKL keys. So I would like to get in the general vicinity using JKL, and then use some other keys or method to get to the exact frame of the "clap". One would assume that the arrow keys would do this, but they don't.
Does anyone know if there is a way to accomplish this? Thanks in advance for any help.

I understand your point, and it never ocurred to me that I part of my normal workflow when doing things like that to more than a few clips is to select all of the clips and put them all in the Source Monitor with a single command. (Select them all, right click, and select "Open in Source Monitor".) So I don't go back and forth between windows. I guess I have been doing it so long I missed that step in the explanation. Sorry about that. Also, please understand that I skipped CS4 and CS5 so when I started using CS6 I have never really been comfortable with the hover scrub for anything serious. Not yet anyway.
I figure that all of the clips will end up in the Source Monitor anyway before they hit the timeline, so why not put them up there and as I finish with each one I close that window and start on the next one.
Those of us who go back to when Premiere became Premiere Pro have been waiting for some of these features a very long time. Slap-your-head it might be to you or me, but Adobe only has so much money to pay engineers and there is always something more important to work on. Like becoming codec agnostic or handling huge frame sizes. Adobe has borrowed many features from FCP, but it is still a work in progress. We just submit feature requests and attempt to convince others to do the same. You can't imagine how much time we spent a decade ago getting people to create the proper sequence. Now you just drag a clip to the New Item button and your sequence is perfect. That is magic to someone like me, who taught people how to use Premiere Pro 1.5 by copying FCP tutorials and recreating them in Premiere Pro (for Lynda.com) using the same footage.
Jim Simon is often quite vocal about things he would rather see done that some of the requests. I agree with him most of the time, but every now and then a little thing I think should be done is not on his list and he will let me know in no uncertain terms why he thinks what he thinks. He can be pretty persuasive and it is difficult to argue with his logic. The Adobe folks read these forums, yes, but they read the feature requests and look to see how many customers want certain things done. Not a bad way to prioritize. Now that more FCP people will be submitting requests, there is a good chance that you will see more features that you want.
So, while it may be obvious to you, it isn't obvious to Adobe until the masses speak. I suggest that you might want to consider being a rabble rouser, getting like minded people to put in the same requests. That is probably the best way to get what you want.
As for going in reverse.... I think that if you have never had some of these things, they are not important to you. They are not all like adding reverse. Some are but some of these are like the tailfin on the 1959 Caddilac. The higher the better back then. But are they necessary?

Urgent help required: Query regarding LC Variables

Hi All
Sometime earlier I was working on a performance issue raised by a customer. It was shell script that was taking almost 8-9 hrs to complete. During my research I came across a fact that there were some variables which were not set, the LC variables were impacting the sort funnel operations because of which the script was taking a long time to execute.
I asked them to export the following commands, after which the program went on smoothly and finished in a couple of mins:
export LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO8859-1
export LC_MESSAGES=C
export LC_MONETARY=en_US.ISO8859-1
export LC_MONETARY=en_US.ISO8859-1
export HZ=100
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Later I did recover that setting the LC_COLLATE to C, is not helping and the program was again taking a lot of time. Few questions that I want to ask are:
1. Can someone please tell me, what each of these variable mean and how these values make a difference.
2. When I exported LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO8859-1, it worked fine, but when i tried with the defalut value LC_COLLATE=C, then why the program didnt work.
As this issue is still going on, hence I would request All to provide their valuable inputs and let me know as much as possible.
Appreciate your help in this regard.
Thanks
Amit
Hi All
A new development in this regard. The customer has send us a screen shot in which they were trying to export the locale variable using the commands which I have pasted above. I can see in the screen shot that while exporting LC_COLLATE and LC_TYPE, they get a message that ""ksh: export: couldn't set locale correctly"".
Request everyone to please give their inputs as it's a bit urgent.
Thanks for all the help in advance.
Thanks
Amit

Premiere Elements 8: Scene Markers Not Frame Accurate on Burned DVDs

I have Premiere Elements 8, and I have just begun to burn DVDs of projects. I have discovered that the Scene Markers I have carefully placed at precise points in my footage (such as the very first frame of a scene) are not placed at those specific points in a burned DVD of the footage. They are out by several frames either early or late, the deviation being fairly inconsistent.
I placed 8 Scene Markers in the timeline of the project I have just completed, and were transferred to DVD with these Scene Markers at the following points on the resulting disc:
Scene Marker 1 was 7 frames early
Scene Marker 2 was 3 frames late
Scene Marker 3 was 2 frames late
Scene Marker 4 was 5 frames late
Scene Marker 5 was 5 frames late
Scene Marker 6 was 5 frames late
Scene Marker 7 was 7 frames late
Scene Marker 8 was 2 frames early
I was not expecting any deviation at all. There is no frame deviation when editing footage and transferring to DVD, it is absolutley frame-accurate, so why is there any deviation on the resulting DVD when it comes to the placement of Scene Markers?

If I am using GOP material, knowing that that material's I-Frames might not be 100% accurate with my desires, is to always have a Dip-to-Black Transition to about 02 sec. of Black Video, between all of my Clips. Then, I can locate my Chapter Markers on that Black Video. This also gets me that Dip-to-Black (and back from black), between Chapters. I like the aesthetics of those, and the solve any GOP issue.
Those Dip-to-Black also cover any "black flashes," that one often sees, when the DVD player's head seeks the next Chapter. The black flash will come when the screen is already black, so no one will ever see them.
I use a Dip-to-Black in editing, to show the passage of time, and perhaps the change in location (or both), and as Chapters usually feature one of those, the Dip-to-Black is ideal. Within a Chapter, if I use a Dip-to-Black (passage of time, or change in location), and the passage of time is quite long, then I will increase the Duration of the Black Video between the Clips even more. Just one way that I employ Transitions, and especially Dip-to-Black.
Good luck,
Hunt

Frame accurate 16:9 to 4:3 transistion

hi all,
I need your help!
For testing purposes I need to create a stream that is frame accurate for that at exactly 5 mins into a stream the video will go from 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratio and then after x mins goes to 16:9 Pan Scan and then after x mins go to 4:3 and then after x mins go to 16:9.
Ultimately this will have to be turned into an accurate packetised transport stream (MPEG-2 PAL) will transistioing aspect ratio.
My colleague has suggested creating in FCP 6 the clips individual and placing them as a playlist in Quicktime player (and pumping out to an external MPEG-2 encoder), but I really want to have timestamping and timecode also on the video (I know I want the world)
BTW: I have been cheeky and cross posted on FCP and Compressor forums
Kind Regards for any help
Excelsior01

I do not believe that you can mix frame sizes - which is essentially what you're asking - within a single stream. It's either a 16:9 frame (with 4:3 material pillarboxed) or a 4:3 frame (with 16:9 material letterboxed).
As suggested (but without ever having attempted this myself), you could use some type of playlist function to slice the movie segments together. But I'm not sure that you as the content author can enable that - it would be up to the broadcaster/distributor to do that. Even then, frame size isn't typically a variable that allowed to change from segment to segment.

Sample accurate edits in sample editor

I am new to Logic Pro, having previously worked with Cubase. I understand that the underlying engine of logic is constructed upon beats, frames, ticks etc., but is it possible to do sample accurate editing in the sample editor?
At present any small selection of say 2 or 3 samples in length is often enlarged to many samples. Is this because of the 'snap to' parameter? Is this behaviour unavoidable?
Cheers,
Georgie

Your method is essentially a hack is it not?
For using the sample editor, no
For the arrange, absolutely - but it does work if you can work in such a short time.
It intrigues me that this should be necessary - it reinforces my understanding that Logic is at its core a sequencer, as opposed to a sound editing tool.
Yes, it's roots are in sequencing - still, I am surprised it is still restricted this way.

Try the waveform zoom slider. Recording louder just to get a better visible waveform would be, well, silly.
From the manual: (click on links to see pics)
To change the zoom level using the Waveform Zoom button
Click-hold the Waveform Zoom button. A slider appears.

Drag the slider. As you do, the waveform shown in all audio regions, and in the Beat Mapping track, is increased or decreased in size.
