I'm trying to cut a video in lightroom 5

I need help figuring out how to cut a video clip in the middle using lightroom. I want to cut a section off the beginning of the clip, a piece out of the middle, and then a bit off the end. How do I do this? If I can't use lightroom for this can I make this possible in photoshop? I do not have photoshop now so hoping there's a way in lightroom

are you using windows or mac? there are plenty of free programs out there which can trim video clips... Lightroom cannot.

  • Help! Trying to get a Video File off a DVD so I can use it in Final Cut Pro

    Okay. I'm trying to cut together a project and I need the video and audio off a short DVD. The DVD is under 5 minutes in length and is not copy right protected. For the life of me I cannot understand how to convert the files off the DVD to something I can work with. When I open the DVD I have 2 files: 1) AUDIO_TS and 2) VIDEO_TS. I would like to convert these to something FCP can understand (AVI, MPEG...anything). I have searched and searched the message boards and have found no useful information. I have a feeling it's something to do with Disk Utility but have found no clear instructions. Half the sites want you to buy their software. Surely there is some way to do this without buying additional software. Any help would be greatly apppreciated.

    There are four ways that I know of:
    1) Play the DVD and have the player's analog outputs connected to your DV VCR or camcorder, which then acts as a convertor to bring it into FCP
    2) MPEG StreamClip - FREE, rips the video and audio from the VIDEO_TS folder
    3) DVDxDV - $20 or so, does the same thing as MPEG-Streamclip only a little easier, IMO
    4) Cinematize - $70, same thing, more options

  • FINAL CUT PRO X (the latest version). I'm trying to upload my video to Youtube, I am getting flashing and orange bar in the frame timeline. How to make it STOP!?

    FINAL CUT PRO X (the latest version). I'm trying to upload my video to Youtube, I am getting flashing and orange bar in the frame timeline. How to make it STOP!? It looks like it's rendering somthng but I just want it to stop flashing. I hope it didn't mess up the video...

    You're in totally the wrong place...  this is the Mac Pro (no Book) forum for hardware.  You want
    Final Cut Pro X: Professional Applications: Apple Support Communities
    Hopefully, FCP X has an autosave feature Like Final Cut Pro Studio so that you may already have a recent copy.  If I were in your shoes, I'd try an ESC or something similar before going to a Forced Quit.
    Good luck

    Hello:
    I am very much a novice with Final Cut.  I am trying to import some video files from  my desktop but keep getting an error message that says, "File error  1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown".  The file type is .mov, 35MB, 1920 x 1080, Codec MPEG-2 video linear PCM timecode, color profile HD (1+1+1).  Can someone help?  Thanks, Paul

    You can't import MPEG-2 files directly to FCP X.
    Can you play this file in Quicktime Player? If so, then you can use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert this to Quicktime. Use the ProRes codec.

  • Trying to export a video and the frame keeps getting cut

    Hello,
    I'm trying to export a video and the frame keeps getting cut. I've tried exporting it as a flattened movie through export - QT - "current settings" and through QT conversion, making to sure set the "size" as 720 x 480 ( my sequence presets are as follows: 720 x 480, DVCPRO50) but the default " current size" seems to be set at 640 x 480 and that's how it is exporting it. I must be missing something, I've never had this happen to me before... Any ideas? Maybe I should try trashing the preferences, usually what I do when I'm out of options...Thanks,

    I just tested a bunch of stuff and the only way it would export correctly was by choosing "none" in the compression dialog box from the export to qt menu. weird hunh?

  • Final Cut Pro- Video stops exporting at 33% in H.264 format to a USB.

    I have made a video using Final Cut Pro which is 51 minutes in length. Some of the clips were filmed using iPhones, whereas some of the clips were filmed using a Sony phone. The clips have all been placed together using Final Cut Pro and effects+music have been added. When I try to export the video to a USB in the format of H.264, it reaches 33% then just disappears from the background processes box. I have repeatedly tried to export the video to different places to see if the USB was the issue, but it keeps stopping at 33%. I looked at a forum which said some people had an issue whereby they found a clip which was dodgy and had to be deleted for the video to successfully export. I tried to delete the correct video clip to see if that worked, and the export then reached 37% but then stopped. The issue could be that the clips filmed on the Sony phone have to be deleted in order for the video to successfully export, however I would rather not delete all of the clips as they are an important part of the video. Also, the video must be able to play on a TV so I have some USBs which are 16GB as the video is 8.9GB. But is H.264 the correct format? Please help!

    That depends on the television set (s). There is no universal standard. Definitely check the TV manual (s).

  • Can I cut a video into dozens of smaller ones?

    Good day,
    the effect I'm trying to get is really hard to explain,
    the idea is that I'm trying to cut up this one big video into 2frame videos. Like this
    Is there any action or chance that I can do it for all of the video and not do it by hand?
    I've tried searching online, but I haven't found anything.
    I'm using Premiere Pro CS6.
    Thank you!

    If you are covering the 26 frames that would have been shown on V1 that are below the 26 frame sections on V2, you don't have to remove the section on V1 - it will just be covered by the Video on V2.
    Then you can do this:
    Make a new sequence.
    Put the complete clip that goes on V1 on V1.
    Put the complete clip that goes on V2 on V2 (V1 is now hidden by V2).
    Go to the effects pane Video Filters > Stylize > Strobe Light and apply the Strobe Light effect to the clip on V2.
    Click on the clip on V2 to select it, and then click on the Effects Control Pane.
    Set the Strobe Parameter to Makes Layer Transparent
    Adjust the Strobe Duration to .9 and the strobe Period to 1.8.
    Depending on the horsepower of your computer, you may have to render this effect before you can see it playback.

  • Flash audio cutting out, video stalling

    Hi,
    My flash isn't working when streaming video/music - keeps stalling or sometimes the audio cuts out and the video continues.  Very annoying!
    I'm using Vista 32bit, Firefox and have the latest version of flash.
    I've tried watching html-5 videos and they seem to work fine?
    Any help?

    Try if the latest Flash Player beta works better: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html

  • Trouble getting Final Cut edited video to DVD

    So here's the background.. I had some old VHS videos that I wanted to edit and put on DVD for storage/easier viewing if the desire hit me. So it's been months and i'm still laboring over this stupid project finding the best work flow.
    After struggling with iDVD, compressor (3 days to convert a 3 hr video, seriously?), DVD Studio Pro and other options I decided to forget the fancy menus and just export the **** thing. Quality isn't my main concern so I figured put it in VisualHub and convert to DVD. This worked fine for VHS Tape 1 but now I'm trying it to do it VHS Tape 2 and for some reason everytime it gets to a certain point, it hangs forever. Now initially I thought this was VisualHub, so I did a test conversion in Handbrake to find it hang in the same place. I then decided, I'd re-export my video from FCP as something must be wrong with the original export mp4 file. I exported from FCP again and tried VisualHub again, again hangs at the same time. I then inspected the video file and pinpointed the spot where VH stops converting, except it plays fine from the original exported mp4. I then checked in FCP to see if perhaps there was something in the timeline to cause this hitch, again no sign of trouble. I tried various formats for converting and the same thing happens over and over.
    To make a very long story short, does anyone know why a video file would be hanging VH and any other program that tries to convert it in the same spot? Can anyone suggest a quick/easy workflow for FCP to DVD format. I'm working on my Macbook Pro so it's frustrating tying up my laptop for hours on end

    I wasn't notified that there were replies to this so sorry for the delay. Thanks so much for the suggestions. The videos were captured with EyeTV; I'm pretty sure they have their own file type but not sure what actual encoding they use. At any rate, I can export to a variety of formats from there.
    In my trials I had tried exporting both self-contained and not.. and while I usually didn't use Recompress All Frames, I did try it once and it didn't prove helpful.
    I've tried compressor again and I got it to output, but I'm still trying to work out how to get it to come together in DVD-SP. I've used it before but never with separate audio & video files. I'd say I just need to sit down when I have some time to toy around.
    As for option 2, I tried iDVD as my first option way way back when I started editing these but as the video files are fairly long, they weren't fitting on a standard dvd and as I don't have a dual-layer burner it wouldn't let me burn or save as a disc image, saying I needed to cut down the file which is not what I wanted to do. I did at one point try cutting the video in half, even then though the conversion process took 24+ hours which I'm not sure why.
    Thanks for the suggestions. I know the MPEG-4 conversion makes no sense but it was sort of my last ditch effort to get something working. Quality of the video wasn't my main concern as it's already a low quality tv rip. Obviously I'd rather not make it worse, but I traded quality for expediency and it actually working.
    Thanks again!

  • What am I doing wrong, I am trying to burn a video that I downloaded form I tunes

    I have a Compaq Presario desktop no CQ3240AN and am trying to burn a video that I purchased from ITunes, I keep on being asked to load a disc, which I have many times. The disc I am using is Kodak DVD-RW,. My computer doesn't seem to recogonise the disc. It is more thann likely I have missed a step, but I don't know which one.
    The video is on the computer but I want to play it on my TV.
    I have never done this before and could really use some help.

    HI Marge,
    It's possible that the optical drive is not compatible with the optical media that you are using. Look closely at the DVD media disk.  Do you see DL? If you are using DVD-RW DL media then the optical media is not compatible with the optical drive in your PC.
    Try DVD+R optical media.
    If you do have the correct media then review the tips in this posted article. 
    If you are using DVD-RW (single density) media and it is "closed" then you have to reformat the disk before attempting a burn.  Make sure that it is closed by the burning program. The optical media being used must be compatabile with the optical player attached to your TV.

  • I am trying to upload a video...Need massive help PLEASE!

    Ok, I have a Sony video camera with the little mini discs and I am trying to get my video onto my MacBook Pro.
    I tried to insert the disc into my Pro and had to go to Apple to get it taken out. Strike one.
    I then tried to go to Best Buy to buy the camera USB cords to upload onto my Mac but that didn't work out since the Sony camera is not the version for the cables they have now. Strike two.
    Now I have inserted the disc into my PC computer so that I can upload the videos to a file drive and save it on my Mac from there.
    I put the file drive into my Mac and it opened with iPhoto and said that it it "unrecognizable" so that did not work. I am now running out of time and patience (which I really ran out of 3 hours ago)
    I just do not know what to do now.
    Can someone please help me?!
    Thank you!

    I have mac pro and firefox 3.0.19
    I am trying to download a video from youtube.?
    I can see the video. I want to download it and save in my computer to see it again.
    I have download helper. While the 3 red,blue,and yellow sphere are turning, It gives me the choice of place to save,and when I click and choose desktop , for example, this message comes ."Conversion requires an external application that appears to be missing on your system. Configure conversion ?
    When I click on okay, another page comes, which says" converter and a box next to it . in the box is written FFMpeg. but I can change it to MEncoder. In another box, says configure conversion rules. When I click on it, nothing happen.Thanks for your help.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I want to download a video from youtube

    No, this reply is not helpful. It simply generates this little gem:
    "This service requires the conversion feature to be enabled.
    Configure conversion ?"
    And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key.

  • I have a an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes. All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem.

    I have an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes.
    All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem. The movie in question is not 'corrupt' as you can watch it in iMovie direct from the SD card but as soon as you try to import it, it  just says 'error'. iIve tried moving the file to an external drive ( and other variations on this theme) then importing but have had no luck.
    Can anyone please help me.

    The mystery remains....
    Thanks for the pointers. The file type is .mts (a proprietry sony one).
    I have now found some video converter software (Wondershare and iSkysoft) at a cost. Either will convert this file for me into .mp4. This I can then import into iMovie without any problems. I've checked this on the trial versions and it worked well but without paying am left with a giant watermark in the video
    The mystery (which I still havent solved) is why did 20 other .mts files import fine and then this one not?
    If you could point me in the direction of some free .mts converter software that would be the cherry on the cake.
    Thanks

  • I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open

    I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from an external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. While setting up my new MAC the external hard drive was dropped and I have been told by an outside source they could not retrieve the files.  It had 4 years of photos and videos on it. I remembered that I had downloaded some of the videos from the external hard drive (before it was broke) to Adobe Organizer 13 when I installed the Adobe 13 on my MACOS X 10.9.5.  I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open these videos?
    Any input is greatly appreciated!! I am sick over losing the videos and had a little hope on Adobe Organizer until I was unable to open them.  I am thinking it is due to my external hard drive not being plugged in. I thought when I transferred from the external hard drive to Adobe 13 that it would be there without the external hard drive needing to be attached but maybe I did something wrong.
    Thanks again for any help!!!!

    It had 4 years of photos and videos on it.
    To what did your camera record those photos and videos - camera's internal memory, inserted memory card, other?
    Any remote chance that the latter may still exist for you to use to download the camera files to your new external hard drive?

  • I am trying to download streaming video off the internet and I am not sure of what I am doing. Can someone Help?

    I get the video going and it looks like it automatically says it is downloading two files. After clicking around a few times on some things I may have as many as five copies running at once. I am just trying to save the video to a file so that I can burn it to a DVD later.

    most likely the video you are trying to watch is using flash and flash is not supported on the ipad.
    the browser will make no difference. best thing is to write to the site ctv.ca suggesting they offer a html5 version of their site for the millions of ipad users around the world.
