  • Background noise removal takes about 3 seconds into each clip in timeline to kick in, so each clip has noise in the first few seconds.  How do you get this to remove noise from the very start of the clip?

    insert a 5 second gap in the beginning of the timeline.

  • I took a 15 minute video clip on my phone and now I can't import it into iphoto.  I've been able to import clips to iphoto in the past.  How do I fix this?  How can I get it imported onto my MacBook and ultimately iMovie?

    Maybe try one of the WiFi transfer Apps?  There are several to choose from. I use Photosynch quite often to send photos and videos between my computer(s), my iPhone, and iPad.

    Looks like it records in AVI format at 25 fps. I think that should import to iMovie OK - if not it should import to iPhoto and then be available in the iMovie Events Library under "iPhoto Videos". Importing shouldn't be a problem based on this extract from the web page:
    "The glasses can be hooked directly to a PC with the supplied USB cable to view the video, or when using the Micro SD card, it can be inserted into a card reader to watch footage."

  • In iMovie 11 small gaps in clips seem to transition nicely, but how do I reduce or eliminate the larger gaps? I can't find a way to move the clips together.

    In iMovie 11 small gaps in clips seem to transition nicely, but how do I reduce or eliminate the larger gaps? I can't find a way to move the clips together.

    I'm intrigued by this!
    Can you explain further what the gaps look like when you export the movie. Are there black spaces, for example? You mentioned earlier that "it jumps quickly between clips that I edited which gives it a jerky appearance at those transitions". So you are possibly just seeing a change in sudden movement when moving from one clip to another.
    I've noticed when shooting with my AVCHD camcorder that if I quickly move the camera straight after pressing the record button to stop recording, a jerky movement appears when played back. This is because the camera is still recording for a fraction of a second after pressing the button, that is, there is a slight delay before actual recording stops on the hard drive (unlike a tape based camera).
    I simply edit out these annoying movements. When hovering the pointer over the beginning or end of a clip, a small icon appears, shaped like a left/right arrow. Click on the icon and a small section of the clip end (or beginning if editing the start point) will be partly encased in an orange border. You can then drag the border's handle inwards in increments of one frame, up to one second duration. Repeat this if you wish to trim more than one second. I find this better for short trimming than just dragging the clip ends inwards and using Trim to Selection from the pop-up menu, as it is quicker and has more precision. To enable this feature, in iMovie > Preferences - Browser tab, check the box labelled "Show Fine Tuning controls".
    Of course, this may not be what you are seeing. But I can't really envisage what you mean by "how do I reduce or eliminate the larger gaps", as there should be no gaps, as explained by AppleMan1958. Could you please provide some more information, or include a screenshot of what you are describing.
    To take a screenshot, press the key combination Command+Shift+4 - a crosshair will appear on screen. Drag this diagonally across the section you want to capture. A .png image file will appear on the Desktop. When posting here you will see a camera icon in the reply window's menu bar. Click on the camera icon then follow the steps provided (it lets you navigate to the image). Sorry if you already know this!

  • How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

    How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

    InDesign's PDF export engine does not transcode your videos, they are embedded exactly as they were in the original file. The Flash Player runtime which displays video inside PDF files may not show a perfect match to Quicktime etc. because most video playback tools aren't designed for a color-calibrated workflow, but they should be close.
    The playback quality (blocking and aliasing) will be affected if the clip is not playing at 100% (screen pixels != video pixels) and in PDFs with the standard video player widget, that will only ever happen when you use 'floating window' mode. PDF pages have physical dimensions, so viewing them at "100%" does not make them match screen pixels.
    If you don't mind the video clip being smaller than the media annotation in which it's playing, then use my free upgrade to the Acrobat playback widget - VideoPlayerX - which maintains 1:1 pixel scale until the page is zoomed out too far for it to fit. You can install the widget into InDesign so it's used by default when exporting.

    I'll stay in this chat ... I answered in the other one ... I have a Sony digital Handycam ... from years ago.  I just got the LaCie and I think I formatted it for only to be used on my Mac ... how should I go about reformatting it to be HFS Extended like you said?

  • A tip how to make iMovie '08 rescan the iPhoto library for video clips

    I could not figure out how to easily force iMovie '08 to rescan all iPhoto library video clips. My problem was that my Casio S880 videos had the audio format DVI ADPCM which is not supported by iMovie '08. I made a script which transcoded all my iPhoto library videos' audio track to AAC. But after this was done, the iMovie didn't still show them in iPhoto videos. iMovie checks only for NEW entries in iPhoto Library after last scan.
    One simple workaround is to duplicate the transcoded video in iPhoto and then delete the original. But if you have a lot of clips here is a better way to do this:
    NOTE: This trick does not reimport already imported clips. This trick is useful only if you want to force iMovie '08 to recheck old iPhoto movie clips if they are now valid for iMovie '08 or not.
    1. Close iMovie '08
    2. Open file HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie7.plist with the Property List Editor application (I think the application is part of Apple Developer Tools, I'm not sure if included in default installation). You may want to take a backup of the property file before opening it!
    3. Find "lastiPhotoXMLDate" property and change the date value to be some older date, for example if you want to scan all files just change the year part to 1980 or similar.
    4. Save the property file
    5. Open iMovie '08, it should now check all iPhoto movie clips again if they are valid for iMovie '08.
    The same thing can be achieved by just deleting the HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie7.plist file, but then you lose all your other settings.

    I apologize for my confusion on your question.  I find that depending on the principal of each photo and my target audience to determine the time frame for each photo.  It seems most people get impatient with viewing one photo for more than 1-2 seconds if the photo is not complex.
    If there are several things that interests the viewers in any one image, they want to look at it a second or two longer.  If the movie of images is a training aid, the images may need to be more than 3 seconds.  For intro's, or a trailer for a training movie, no longer than 1-2 seconds.
    That was a long answer to say, generally speaking, I find 3 seconds to be an average time length.

  • How do you reference the main timeline of swf1 from swf2 when swf2 is loaded into swf1?

    on this link          http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/918/cpsid_91887.html
    I found this script, but I can not use it can anyone help me
    // create a variable to reference swf1's main timeline
    var swf1Main_mc:MovieClip;  // this assumes that swf1 is a movieclip.
    // create your listener to ensure this loaded swf has been added to the display list and can therefore obtain a
    // reference to its main timeline (which is always the main timeline of the loading swf).
    this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, initF);
    function initF(e:Event):void{
        swf1Main_mc = MovieClip(this.root);

    You don't make it clear what event finish is for. But let's assume that your MC is being loaded from the clip that you're referring to as root. In the main Document Class of that swf, you'd have
    protected var customSwf:CustomSwf;//customSwf is the Class that defines your functionInSwf1protected function someFunction():void {
         var loader:Loader = new loader();
         loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE onLoaderLoaded);
         //rest of your loader loading code here
    protected function onLoaderLoaded(e:Event):void {
          //add to display list (you already know how to do, so I'm not writing the code)
         EventDispatcher(e.target).removeEventListener(Event.Complete, onLoaderLoaded);
         //if you had a legitimate need for path (which you don't) in mcExternal, you'd set it like this:
         this.mcExternal.path = LoaderInfo(e.target).content as MovieClip;
          //this is what you actually need to care about to do this correctly
          customSwf = LoaderInfo(e.target).content as CustomSwf;
    Now, the Class that you apply to the library symbol you're using for mcExternal should have code similar to this:
    protected function fEvent(e:Event):void {
         dispatchEvent(new Event('giveYourEventADescriptiveNameBasedOnWhatYoureReallyDoingHere', true));
    back in your main document Class:
    //should probably call from the constructor or somewhere early in the process
    protected function init():void {
         //use your real event name--your code isn't expressive enough I could guess a good name
         addEventListener('giveYourEventADescriptiveNameBasedOnWhatYoureReallyDoingHere', onEventHappened);
    protected function onEventHappened(e:Event):void {
         customSwf.customFunctioninSwf1();
         customSwf.changeVisualState();//let custom swf change alpha and change the frame #
    To the untrained I, this looks like about the same amount of code and slightly more trouble, but changing the design like this will make it much more tolerant of the changes that nearly all clients will want after you've built version 1. mcExternal's code doesn't have to change at all if swf1 changes, and your root Class already knows abotu swf1 anyway, since it's doing the loading, so having it work with it a little more doesn't hurt.
    Moving the change of visual state into your custom swf means that changes in that swf won't affect your main document Class, though you will probably have to recompile the main document unless you go to using an Interface (a topic for another day).

  • When importing files into fcpx from go pro hero2, some are importing as .mov and some as .mp4. when making a multi cam clip it will only add one type, if you try and add the other it says camera clip cannot be processed.

    when importing files into fcpx from go pro hero2, some are importing as .mov and some as .mp4. when making a multi cam clip it will only add one type, if you try and add the other it says camera clip cannot be processed. need to figure out why it randomly imports differently, or how to add different file tyoes to multi cam.

    here is one that is imported and stays .mp4. the specs are same as original file before import.
    here is one that has changed somehow during import. specs on original file are same as above, but once it is imported it changes to this in event folder, and others randomly keep the above specs.

    i would like to ask about imovie. my project cannot output and how can i divide my project in imovie into two part??, i would like to ask about imovie. my project cannot output and how can i divide my project in imovie into two part??

    Go to the Project Library View and select your project.
    Then FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 1".
    Then duplicate it again and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 2"
    Now you can open "part 1" as a project and delete everything that is in part 2.
    Open "part 2" as a project and delete everything that is in part 1.

  • I am wondering how to zoom into a video in iMovie '09. For example I want to  zoom into a certain part of the video. Is there any way to do this???

    I am wondering how to zoom into a video in iMovie '09. For example I want to
    zoom into a certain part of the video. Is there any way to do this???

    Yes.
    If you want to see the zoom, use the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool and select the Ken Burns effect. You can set the starting and ending rectangle for your zoom.
    If you want to go directly to the zoom, use the Rotate, Crop, KenBurns Tool and select Crop. Set the rectangle to be where you want the zoom.

  • HT1751 I've read at least ten articles and I still have some unanswered questions.  1. How do you get several libraries on an external disk back into one spot on Itunes? Will it take up space on the Mac osx that I have very little space on?

    I have several itunes libraries after moving them and losing them, and recreating new ones.  How do I get them all back together?  I have a Macboook Pro OSX 10.6. My newest library is currently being directed to an external drive.  I have files that I moved around improperly and don't know where they all go now.  I'm pretty good with it all if someone can explain. Nothing I've read explains how to find your lost libraries on an external drive and put them into one place.
    If you have it on an external drive and do not have the space on the hard drive can you still do the library/organize/consolidate feature and have files available without the external drive attatched?  I just don't know how I will get all the files into itunes without taking up a bunch of space. 
    Thank you so much!

    I'm confused as to why you would need or even want multiple iTunes libraries... but that's not really relevant.
    It certainly is possible to have the iTunes library reside entirely on an external drive. 
    The organize/consolidate feature will work with an external drive but the drive must be connected.  How would you expect this to work without the drive connected?  iTunes cannot magically move files to consolodate them on a drive that's not connected.
    I"m not really certain what you mean by "get them all back together".  iTunes libraries are not "together".  If you've got multiple libraries they are seperate...there is simply no other way to make that happen.
    Realistically, if this hasn't helped, it's going to be up to you to explain why you have/need multiple iTunes libaries so that we can offer specific details on how to resolve the issue and possibly a better solution.
