    Adobe Captivate 7 Project How to make Rollover cations, audio, and video work in HTML format?

    Honestly, I don't even know why this is an option. The conversion to Flash is completely unusable.
    I have exported some things to Flash, and since I program in Flash all the time I was able to manipulate to work to some degree. Most text captions are built with multiple elements and completely fall apart.
    Sorry, I can't be of more help.

  • How to make iMovie to read ADVC-110???

    I'm struggling how to make iMovie to recognize my Canopus ADVC-110 so I can transfer my VHS tapes to iMovie..
    Pleease help

    Hi s
    < When I open up iMovie HD - which video format do I use? >
    • DV
    • Go down under the viewer window and You can select Camera or a pare of siccors.
    Camera should have a black triangle and let You select iSight or ADVC. If not it doesn't detect the
    ADVC
    • Most probably it is. 6-pin end is about double the size and is rectangular eccept on short end that
    are curved to prevent wrong turning
    4-pin end is smaller and has an indent on one of it's longer sides for same reason.
    If it is not dectected on either of Your Macs it indicates a problem with either the ADVC or the FW-Cable.
    • The Cable is far more often the problem. Try to borrow another one and test.
    HERE Comes my long long list. Use it with care - not all apply to Your situation.
    I would print-out and cheque off those that are usably. No guarantee at all.
    Capture/Import problems:
    a) File-Vault is on - turn it off
    b) don’t Daisy chain camcorder - external hard disk - Mac
    (except for some Canon-Cameras)
    c) Slow hard disk (fragmented: repair permissions, repair hard disk, use a faster hard disk)
    d) Something is occupying the CPU/System, like other programs, Internet etc.
    e) Bad RAM-chips
    f) drop outs on the miniDV-tape - make a camera to camera copy on a tape which You have previous recorded with a time code (dummy recording).
    g) FW-wire cable OK?
    h) Break in the time-code on the miniDV tape (make a camera to camera copy on a tape which is prerecorded with nothing/anything so that the tape has a time-code from beginning to the end)
    i) defective camera TRY IT ON ANOTHER MAC !
    j) remove bookmarks in iMovie project
    k) Do You have desktop pictures or screen-savers active? Try turning them off.
    l) Updating - OS has to be a clean install - not an update eg from X.3.x to X.4.x (no good)
      OS X.4.0-2 needs a clean install to work (I use X.3.9)
    m) Updating QT and/or other updates (to 7 needs v6 to be cleaned out first)
      QT v.7 needs a clean install to work (I use 6.5.2)
    n) Have you tried the crazy fix:
    Open GarageBand, play a few notes, close it and reopen iMovie. The camera should import fine now. (Sue/SDillini)
    o) NEW (from Sue/SDillini):
    Trash the Font Collections Folder.
    These files are found:
    /YourUserName/Library/FontCollections folder.
    Drag the folder to the trash and launch iMovie. iMovie will create a new FontCollections folder containing the files it needs when it next opens.
    p) or thrashing the com.apple.imovie.plist file (Rodney Brown2)
    q) - Other programs interfering like Flip4Mac
    r) - Third party or old plug-ins
    May be You find some help in my list:
    Mac:
    • hardware
    ◊ Slow hard disk (fragmented: repair permissions, repair hard disk, use a faster hard disk)
    ◊ I wonder how full your Mac's hard disc is. (David Babsky) A near full hard disk prevents Import/Capture.
    10% free is recommended + space for Import/Capture + work space (about 4 to
    5 times the amount needed for Capture) eg on a 200Gb hard disk You need 20Gb + (one hour tape)
    13Gb + 50Gb = about 80 to 90Gb free space.
    ◊ Disconnect all other ext devices (FW and USB) exept Camera (and keyboard + mouse) and try again
    ◊ Rebuild Desktop (Tech-tool or fingersetting during start-up) (System up to 9)

    I know that in a lot of the new Sony HD cameras, iMovie requires that you turn i.Link Conv off. I would look for a similar setting for your camera. This setting has to do with shooting a movie in one format, and using the camera to import as a different format. For instance, if you shoot HD footage and have i.Link conv on - the camera will send DV to the computer etc...
    So, case in point: look for a setting on your camera that has to do with the video format and see if that helps.

  • How to make iMovie the default for importing from video camera?

    I successfully imported 5 or 6 mini discs from the video camera, then on the next download attempt I saw a pop-up box. The box said something like "what program do you want as the default for downloading?" I was thinking iMovie, but apparently clicked iTunes (too many iTerms), and now when I put the camera into PC CONNECT mode, iMovie won't start up as it had before. How do iReverse my mistake and make iMovie the default again.
    P.S. - I already tried Preferences in iMovie and in Finder.

    If you are talking about having the default be Hebrew-Qwerty, then just make sure that in system preferences/language & text/input sources you have only one box checked, the one for Hebrew-Qwerty.
    There is also an opportunity to choose this during initial setup, you have to click on a button to have it show you all the keyboard options, I can't remember.

  • How to make iMovie 09 recognize a mounted disk image?

    I'm trying to store video clips in a disk image (Mac OS Extended - Journaled, single Apple Partition Map). Previously in iMovie 08 all I had to do was mount the image, start iMovie and it would recognize it as an additional drive. Then I could drag events to it and store them there. In 09 this does not work. It sees the image but has the yellow triangle/exclamation point in it. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it recognize the image! I've tried all variations in disk utility to create the image to no avail. Is iMovie 09 looking for a certain file on the disk image to recognize it? Maybe something in the DS_Store file or the .localized? Very frustrating.
    Hoping someone can help. Thanks.

    Try the following:
    Mount the disk image so that there is a disk icon on the Desktop, and then launch Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities).  Copy-paste the following line into the Terminal window, and then type a single space. Do not type <Return> yet:
    sudo mdutil -i on
    After typing the single space, drag the mounted disk image icon from the Desktop into the Terminal window, click inside the Terminal window, and then type <Return>.  Enter your admin password at the prompt (it will not echo on the screen),  and again type <Return>.
    Hopefully that will enable Spotlght indexing on the mounted image. It might take some time to complete depending on the contents.
    The result for this for me, three times, was "Indexing disabled."

  • IMovie: exporting to Google Video/mp3 issue

    I would like to export an iMovie project to a format that Google Video accepts. Google Video prefers mpeg 4 video with mp3 audio. iMovie "expert settings" allows mpeg 4 export, but the only audio options for this are AAC or "none". Does anyone know how I can either:
    - Add some type of plugin or installable codec that enables mp3 audio with mpeg 4 video as an iMovie export option?
    - What software to use to convert from another iMovie export format to mpeg4/mp3?
    I currently own Toast 6 and standard Quicktime.
    Any advice much appreciated!

    "MPeg Streamclip" is a free download. Get it and install it in your applications folder. It is a totally great application for doing all kinds of conversions. Export your iMovie project to Quicktime format. Then fire up MPeg Streamclip and drag your quicktime movie to the pane and drop it. Go to 'File' drag to 'Export to MP4' and another screen will open up. Choose "iPod" this setting works great for the Google videos. Trust the settings chosen by Streamclip. It may take a while to convert, but when finished, you wil be able to upload to the Google video upload page. You may want to do this before going to bed. It wil be ready when you get up! I have 4 videos on the Google site. I did all four by using "MPeg Streamclip" My latest upload is "Feather Falls 2006" Check it out and good luck

    I download Federation, Halo fonts and they have jaggy edges. Image is a an gif, but doesn't look sharp! Am I suppose to configure Livetype, how to make it sharp?
    Thank You

    The easiest method is to type Command + and that will make make the image larger. However you can also go to System Preferences - Displays and adjust the display resolution too. Finally, you can use Mavericks zoom capabilities as explained in:

  • Does anyone know how to make a folder in the video section of iTunes?

    Is it possible to have a folder for video episodes. For instance if I want to but "The Family Guy" into iTunes, is there anyway to put them all into one folder, instead of have twenty or so shows mixed up with my music videos? I know this is a question for the iTunes forum, but I thought I'd have better luck here.

    Scott,
    The best option probably is to make a playlist with only videos of the episodes. On your iPod, it would show up under videos-->video playlists.

    I am trying to do the same thing. I also cant get it to work. I am
    thinking it may have something to do with the concept of ScopedResponse, but
    I am not sure. There is very little documentation and more importantly
    examples of how to make sense of the getOuterResponse() method. Dev2Dev and
    Google are of no help.
    Anyone care to explain this to us?

  • 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 to make iMovie 08 record back to camcorder

    Cant figure this out. Share doesn't list camera. Export neither.

    +I have all 10 volumes of slick.+
    Nice! I have only about 3 of them, but I use them with every movie I make. They wouldn't work with Intel iMac....I copied them over from my old G4 iMac, but GeeThree has universal updates for all their volumes. I just emailed them and they were great about getting me the updates quickly via email link to their download site.
    I'm with you about iM08....I think they should have called it iVideo and marketed it as a nice addition to the iLife Suite. The salespeople at Apple Store around here said that the new iMovie was a response to numerous people who just found it 'way too hard' to work with iMovie 6!! LOL!!!
    I did do a short little movie with FCE just to see how to work with it. It seems to be a great program, but it takes time and is not so intuitive as iMovie6, nor does have iTunes and iPhoto integrated into it. I did like the different tracks. I think I will probably work with it sometime in the future, but I have been working on a huge project to put all our family video and photos onto DVDs.
    So far, I have done so for the years 1979 (the year our daughter was born) to 1995. I feel I really have iMovie6 down now, and it seems to go fast once I get the photos scanned in and edited. I am currently working on 1996. That year and 1997 and 1998 are 'bigger' event years, but 2000-2004 are less, so I am hoping to get those done more quickly. Once I finish 2006 and 2007, I plan to go backwards and make a couple of DVDs from the 'early' years of each side of the family for my husband's and mine. (We have some photos from 1890s).Then, my large, time-consuming projects will be done and I can start doing a bit more creative stuff, working a bit more with FCE and maybe iMovie 09 or 10 or whatever version it is up to then

  • How to make a still from a video

    How do I use a video , to make a single photo ?

    To export a still park the playhead on the image you want, mark IN OUT, go to FILE>EXPORT>QUICKTIME CONVERSION. Click on QUICKTIME MOVIE and In the dropdown choose STILL IMAGE.
    You will have to De-Interlace it in Photoshop after you export.
    As for making the DVD:
    Shane's Stock Answer #3:
    To export your DV project so there is no loss in quality, simply go to the File Menu and select EXPORT>QUICKTIME MOVIE. Not Quicktime Conversion, fot this will compress the footage. Make sure the settings match your timeline settings, make it self contained and you are set.
    Import this into iDVD or DVDSP and burn your DVD. Don't go the h.264 route.

  • Best format for HD imovie export & 'archiving' source video for future

    I’m sort of new to this but your help would be appreciated. I want to make sure I don’t mess up and delete any ‘precious’ moments.
    I recently purchased a Canon HF100 Camcorder and have been recording various short movies and wanted to ‘plan’ for the future
    1. I import the movies directly into imovie 08 without any issues (at the highest quality). I then drag the “MTS” files from my camcorder to a folder on my desktop (still compressed) and plan to save them for ‘future’ use (i.e., burn them to DVD or maybe move to an external hard drive) – I want to make sure I don’t lose any of the video ‘quality’
     Will I be able to easily ‘load’ these MTS files into imovie or other video software?
    2. I currently do not have a HD DVD player or Blu Ray Player – but plan to get one in the near future. I want to make sure that when I export movies from imovie 08 I export the movie with the best HD quality.
     I’ve exported the movie using the best mac settings (.MOV) files, and they look ok on the computer, but the resolution was lower than the native resolution from the camcorder. I’ve also messed around with some of the various settings in the Quicktime, but none really looked that good with playback on the mac and there were a lot of different options I was not familiar with (maybe because I don’t have the Quicktimepro?) – anyway can anyone recommend some ‘univeral’ HD settings that I should use?
    3. Once I save a movie to quicktime (or whatever the best recommended setting from #2 above), I’m assuming I can re-open or import it back into imovie and re-edit – correct?

    HI there,
    You need to preserve the file structure to a certain extent. Inside the Canon directory is a folder named "private" Inside that is one named "AVCHD". that's the one that needs to be saved, preserving directory structure within. It's best to save it as a disk image. Once opened, that disk image is seen as the camera by FCE or iMovie 08. Here's a thread about this on MacRumours (I'm gpeden):
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=514751
    I'm new to this too, but I have that much figured out so far:) Of course, one needs an intel Mac for this.
    I'm preserving the raw files for the future in the disk images (and burning the 8 gig card's disk images to dual layer DVD - data only, for the ones I really want to backup), which assures me that any future upgrades to hardware or codecs will be able to possibly improve over what's available today.

  • How to make my exported movie bigger?

    When I export my finished project as a QuickTime, the video canvas becomes REALLY small for some reason. Also, there is a huge black border around the entire video. Is there a format that will prevent that?

    Chicken5 wrote:
    When I export ...  there is a huge black border around the entire video. ...
    In case, you're a Motion beginner (as me),  popular mistake is:
    the Project window is set by default to 100% - but that little 'hole' of the Project window on your screen is showing only a part of the 100% ... when adding a video, the video looks 'too big', you grab the handles to make it fit to Motion's Project window - but that is wrong! now, on export, it's a tiny stamp inside black borders.
    to avoid that, set your Project Window in M5 to 50% ... NOW you see the WHOLE project on preview ... and you don't do wrong re-sizings.
