How do I replace one video file with another

Hey all
I'm new to Imovie, so please bare over with me.
I made a long movie using a MOD format file from my JVC home camera
When I where to convert or burn the movie in Imovie it made an error.
After much trouble I found out that it was the MOD format that was the problem
So I bought an expensive piece of software that converted the MOD file to MOV:
And with a new test project it now works flawless...
Anyways back to the original project and the problem:
- I have now converted the original MOD file to MOV
- I have the original Imovie project with the MOD file.
How do I replace the mod file in the imovie project with the new mov file, while keeping, that is transfering all my work on the mod file over to the new mov file?
Thnx
Kris

• In the Layers Panel draw the Layer’s Vector Mask icon onto the trashcan-icon
• move that Layer above the new Text Layer
• invoke Create Clipping Mask (command-alt-G) from Layers Panel’s fly-out menu or alt-click on the line separating the two Layers’ icons

  • I had two files named graphics and I replaced one graphics file with another which was the wrong one.  Can I undo my replacement?  I move the wrong one, which was on my desktop into another one and that is when it as me if I wanted to replace the file.

    I accidently replaced a file with another.  Can I undo my action? 
    I had two files named graphics.  One was on my desktop and another was within another file called solitarie.  I move the one on my desktop (wrong file) into the solitarie file and was asked if I wanted to replace the graphics file in the solitarie folder (the correct one).  I said yes accidently and then remembered that I had made a mistake.  If I use undo, it only move the wrong file back to the desktop.  Is there an undo of replace?

    Sorry, but's that's why you get the warning. "Replace" means just that - the new file over-writes the old one. There is no undo.

  • How do I replace one vector mask with another?

    I have a template for a web site that I'm trying to figure out as I learn CS5.  The template has a vector mask created out of some writing that was converted into an object/vector mask.  I would like to replace with a layer I created that has different writing in it.  How would I replace the vector mask in the template with the new object I created?
    Thanks for any help you can give.

  • Replace one itunes account with another

    I have the itunes application downloaded on my laptop but i recently made another itunes account and i want the new one to be on the Itunes application. So i uninstalled the application thinking that if i downloaded it again it would ask me for an account. Except all it did was restore the old account. I am wondering if anyone knows how to replace one itunes account with another. If you know anything that can be useful comment.

    All purchases remain tied to the account used to buy them, but you can authorize iTunes to multiple accounts and put protected content from up to five on your devices. Generally best to stick to one account if possible. More so once you get to iOS devices as managing app updates over multiple devices is a chore.

  • Replace one preset effect with another

    Is it possible to replace one preset effect with another withouth having to undo a prior preset effect? 
    When I used Aperture, holding down the Option key would allow me to replace one preset with another.

  • How to properly sync own video files with played / unplayed state?

    Since iOS7 (I think) the Videos app on iOS is no longer showing the "unplayed" blue dot next to a movie files that I have added manually to iTunes.
    In old iTunes versions, at least iTunes showed me inside the library view which movie files had been played with the blue dot.
    Now with the Yosemite Upgrade and new iTunes, when I go to "Movies" (left hand side icon) then on the middle section on "Home Videos" then I get my old listing of video files, but there is no played/unplayed state icon. There is a column "Plays" and "Last Played", but those do not indicate if the video was watched fully or only just a second of it.
    When going to my iPhone sync view however, the seen/unseed blue dots do show up. But in that view, I cannot delete video files. Usually I delete videos files after I watched them, and currently it is impossible for me to delete the video files, as I cannot see which ones are seen. Plus, on the iOS Video app in iOS 8.1, I still cannot see which videos were played - on top of that, when I delete a video file from there, and sync my iphone, it actually copies the video file to the iPhone again :-(
    Any thoughts, apart from "Dude you have a wacked workflow"? ;-)

    Hi,
    in relation to on to the above could you please share some thoughts on using AUSST in an enterprise environment spread over 50 countries i relation how to setup the AUSST, taking WAN Lines into considerations. We are using SCCM for application deployment and patching. Is there a comparising model for AUSST vs. SCCM?
    i Get the picture using AUSST in a company with one huge Building using the LAN capacity, but what technologies are used to replicate over WAN etc?

  • How can I REPLACE original RAW files with JPG's and keep my 'Develop mode' edits?

    An image describing my problem:
    http://i.imgur.com/hcqMYkv.jpg
    (Lightroom 5)
    'edits' = Edits made in develop mode.
    'CR2' = My RAW image file format.
    I have existing CR2's with edits for them saved in Lightroom.
    I want to replace the CR2's with JPG's, and do nothing else. I want those JPG's to inherit the CR2's edits, but I DO NOT want the edits to be permanently applied to the image.
    If I export the CR2's (which have edits) to JPG's, the edits will be permanently applied to them. I do not want this.
    If I export the CR2's to JPG's without the edits, I have no way of getting the edits back and will have to redo the work if I use that photo again.
    Any solutions? I've been trying for a while and have no idea how to do this.
    Q: Why not keep the CR2's?
    A: I am uploading these files to an online host (S3) as my primary storage method and uploading CR2's takes way too long with my internet speeds. Furthermore, online storage costs money.
    Q: Why not shoot with JPGs instead of shooting raw?
    A: I do my initial edits with the raw files and then archive them as JPG's to save storage space. They won't be raw anymore if I apply future edits, but I still have the option of retouching them from the 'original' state and still have my old edits preserved.

    Probably the best thing for you to do is simply use lossy DNG format (e.g. export as, or convert to..): raw data is re-formatted with jpeg compression (full-rez or reduced-rez), but all raw settings apply.
    If you insist on trying to have a true jpeg file with (mostly) raw settings, then:
    The simplest way I can think of to do it without a script or plugin:
    * Reset the raw photo (consider preserving things that don't translate well, like profile-based lens corrections and white balance).
    * Export jpeg
    * Un-reset the image (e.g. using edit history or pre-reset snapshot).
    * Sync settings from raw to jpeg (note: omit settings that don't transfer well, or that were not reset..).
    * Optionally: Delete raw
    To automate/streamline would require a script or plugin.

  • Replace one swf movie with another

    I have a flash movie on my web page and I have made some of
    the text inside the movie into buttons. The movie only takes up a
    portion of the page. I would like to replace the movie with another
    movie when somebody clicks the button.
    I'm sorry if this is a really basic question but I have spent
    ages trying to find out how to do it and I keep getting an error
    when I try to search this forum.
    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks for your help so far. I seem to be having more and
    more trouble though!
    I have a swf file (sunnyserv.swf) that contains a pre-loader
    and then opens another swf file (downturn.swf). The downturn.swf
    contains the buttons that I want to listen to, and swap out the
    movies.
    If I open sunnyserv.fla in flash and test the movie, it loads
    downturn.swf, listens to the mouse click and runs the
    communication.swf movie (although it doesn't clear all of the
    children from downturn.swf).
    However, if I export all three movies and open my web page
    nothing happens! If I change the xhtml to load downturn.swf that
    works ok. Any idea why it would work in test movie but not when
    loaded into an xhtml page?
    Also, can you see a reason why all of the children are not
    being removed in the commClickHandler function?
    Code below:
    sunnyserv.swf (container)
    var l:Loader = new Loader();
    l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,
    loop);
    l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
    l.load(new URLRequest("downturn.swf"));
    function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void
    var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
    percent.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString();
    function done(e:Event):void
    addChild(l);
    removeChildAt(0);
    percent = null;
    downturn.swf
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    var l:Loader = new Loader();
    // add listeners for each button
    btn_communication.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
    commClickHandler);
    function commClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
    for(var i:int = 0; i < numChildren; i++){
    removeChildAt(i);
    l.load(new URLRequest("communication.swf"));
    addChild(l);
    stop();
    Hope somebody can help!

  • How can i get a video file with subtitle out of DVD Studio Pro?

    i got a project for a dvd in dvd studio pro. There are subtitles which i created within dvd studio pro.
    Now i want make a web version of the video with the subtitle, how can i get to this?

    Hi Mr. Cutter,
    There is an app called "D-Subtitler for Mac" (as well as several others)
    which should allow you to extract the subtitles from a copy of the
    finished dvd and use them otherwise.
    It's been awhile since I had to do it but it is a fairly common need
    so the software exists.

  • How do I replace one ' (Single Quote) with '' (Two single Quote)

    Hi,
    I have been surfing around the forum, coudn't find the similiar case.
    I have been trying but fail. Below is my code:
    activity = request.getParameter("activity");
    activity = activity.replace("\'", "\'\'");
    Error Occur:
    Incompatible type for method. Can't convert java.lang.String to char. activity = activity.replace("\'", "\'");
    I'm trying to use replaceAll(), but seem like the method is not existed, we are using Version Java 1.3
    Pls advise.
    Regards

    For JDK 1.3 or ealier, use this:
      public static String replaceSubstrings(String str, String sub, String rep){
        int s, p, q;
        int slen = sub.length();
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();

  • How do I superimpose 1 video file onto another?

    I am trying to fade in -- into the middle of Video track #1 -- a shorter video clip (#2) so #2 is sumperimposed. I'd also like to control the levels of #2 (i.e. more transparent/lighter than #1).
    Is this FCP? QuickTime? Many thanks.

    This is pretty basic stuff that's covered in the manuals; but-
    Just put the clip you want to superimpose on video track 2, over your track 1 clip.
    Double click on track 2 to put it in the viewer, and then find the Opacity setting in the motion tab.
    As you adjust it to your liking, you should be able to preview the results in the canvas.

  • Can't Replace (Relink) AIFF files with anything.

    Hi there,
    using FCPx 10.0.9 on 64 bit iMac which runs like a top. 
    I used some AIFF's in a session before experiencing and confirming here that even when using optimized media, they upset our finicky FCPX.   I converted the files to WAVs used relink (and create optimized media again) to replace them, and everything was fine. 
    Somehow the files have become unlinked.  The Event Browser files still show as AIF files in the Event Browser (and in the Relink dialogue window,) and when I try to relink them to the WAV versions, it *seems* to work at first.  The progress bar for "Confirming compatible format type" or whatever finishes quickly & disappears, then the file name is no longer in the Relink window.  Great right?
    Only nothing has changed in the Event Browser or Timeline.  I seem to have trashed the original AIF files once the WAV's worked, but I have even tried converting the WAVs *back* to AIFF's and tried to relink to those just to see if relink worked at all, and yeah, no. 
    Totally stumped, and a bit worried.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Brian

    Doing "Show in Finder" for the AIFF files brings up aliases in the Event's Original Media Folder.   Based on some file path remnants it's now looking like I actually imported the AIFF's (converted in iTunes from mp3's)  directly from an iTunes folder in which I created them (and tagged them as a single album,) whereas I thought I had imported them as optimized media.  That would confirm why the AIFF's were wonky.  Anyway those files / album / folder have been deleted through iTunes, which I would have done assuming the WAV's were securely in their place.
    The WAV'es *were* imported with optimized media setting, as evidenced by the real files - not aliases - being in the Original Media folder.  (WAV's originally created in iTunes before optimized import.)
    So yes WAV versions are in broswer and fully available.  How would I replace the AIF files with the WAV's, I assumed relink was the way to do that.  Or do you mean replace the edit pieces in time line.   I don't know how I would do that to get all the time codes to match - dropping the full clip over the edit piece gives a number of options but I don't think any will replace with same in and out time code, unless I'm mistaken.   Also I would like to confirm that my Relink can still be functional.
    I did try one more thing, which was to delete one of the WAVs from the Event, then trying again to link to it again  - thinking maybe the AIFF couldn't link to it because it was already associated with a clip in the Event.   It didn't work.   Also if it had it wouldn't explain why when I try to link to a newly created AIFF version, it will not link to that either, despite identical file names.
