Importing DV and turning into clips

Hey is there anyway so that iMovie can import from your DV and automatically convert it into clips spread out like Windows Movie Maker. That like cuts up all the scene takes from when you have filmed one section and it breaks up into segments making it so much easier to edit.
Can you do this with iMovie or can you get a plugin or something??

I have never tried Windows Movie Maker, so I don't really know what it does.
From your description it sound like iMovie imports your movie as a single clip.
Here's how to deal with that problem:

I have a word document that I have put hyperlinks in and turned into a pdf. When I email and receiver opens in iPad the document is blank. When I do a file save as pdf the document appears and the hyperlinks work but the document has much of the content

I have a word document that I have put hyperlinks in and turned into a pdf. When I email and receiver opens in iPad the document is blank. When I do a file save as pdf the document appears and the hyperlinks work but the document has much of the content turned into symbols. What is going wrong?

You select the printer properties and set the appropriate page size (I think there is a place to set it in PDF Maker too, but not sure). In the printer, this is equivalent to putting the proper paper in the printer.

Import photos and video into different folders

Hi, is there any way to import photos and videos into seperate folders?
I use lightroom to manage my photos and videos, but the videos are much larger so I prefer they are stored in a different location.
I can import them together and drag the photos to a new folder, but this does not create the same folder heirarchy as importing them would.
Currently I import once for photos and onece for videos, but I'd prefer to just "import"
Thanks!

Importing pages and folders into a site

How do I import pages and folders into a site? Dreamweaver
must be able to account for all additions and changes, so that it
can update as appropriate. We know it is not a good idea to move
stuff into a site via the Finder (on the Mac, for instance). But
when I search LiveDocs, and this forum, I find no pointers for
bringing whole pages and folders into an existing site.
My thanks in advance, David Allen

Copy/paste within your site's root folder. They will be there
when you go
to the site in DW.
HOWEVER, if a page you are copying requires files external to
the page,
those files must be copied in as well. And, they must be in
the same folder
names that they were in prior to the copy.

Importing video and automatic new clips

When I import video from my camera, iMovie automatically creates a new clip when it senses a point where the taping had been stopped and restarted. Is there a way to over-ride that feature so I get one continuous clip?

Hi
Yes and No
If You mean - that the import is divided in separate clips according to scene
shootings - then in iMovie pref You only unselect - import as individual clips.
If You mean that the movie divides because of broken timecode on Your tape
eg. by unloding tape from time to time - or - not using "End Searce" when
viewed Your tape so that the last scene will cont. with next shooting.
- No not as standard
To do this the Time-code has to be mended. To do this one has to:
• import the material into iMovie
• put a new tape into Camera (this tape should be pre-recorded with just anything
eg. a wall to get a continuous time-code
• export back to Camera
• Use this new tape with "import as individual clips" - still turned off
Camera to Camera is an alt. (still to a pre-recorded tape)

Importing AVI and ProRes422 into Final Cut X

After finally thinking Final Cut X was ready, I upgraded only to discover a number of issues. Sony's Memory Recording Unit, which I've used to record .AVI videos imported these files directly into Final Cut Studio 7. This is not the case with Final Cut X.
I used Compressor 3 to turn these AVI files to Apple ProRes422 and played the converted videos on QuickTime player -no problem. When I import these ProRes422 files into Final Cut X (10.0.4) the audio does not import.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Tom,
I appreciate the thought that the audio is still compressed - maybe it is - I don't know. However, what I do know is this:
1) Final Cut Studio 7 imported these AVI files directly and they worked without a problem.
2) The .avi files are being generated using the Sony Memory Recording Unit - the recording unit used with Sony's professional line of camcorders (not your consumer camcorders).
3) I used Apple's own Compressor 3 - using the DEFAULT settings for Apple ProRes 422 conversion and the converted product HAS AUDIO.
4) Both the AVI and ProRes 422 mov files work in Quicktime Player - both audio and video
- and -
5) Final Cut X is supposed to be Apple's PROFESSIONAL replacement for the Professional Final Cut Studio 7.
If this was iMovie and the codec for the audio or video wasn't included in the application, well, it's free and I would understand. But, in this case, this is an expensive, professional product and it should include ALL CODECS (with some very minor exceptions for very, very odd codecs). AVI is NOT a minor exception - especially being generated by one of the MAJOR Professional Video Camcorder companies - Sony.
I'm hoping someone else has a better solution than converting, trying, failing, oh well.... NOT ACCEPTABLE!
Fix the product - include the Codec's - make it work!
If it works in Quicktime, it should, absolutely work in Final Cut X or any other professional video product that Apple produces. Simple.
Anyone else with an answer?

Import parametes and insert into database table suggestions

experts need suggestions
created a table with 3 fields.
zstable.
field dataelement type length
kunnr kunnr      char 10       key field
name   dname      char   30      key field
aedat aedat        dats 8
aenam aenam       char 12
now i am creating a function modlue with two input parameters
1)kunnr
2)name
i want to update this two fields into table zstable.
1. so suggest me the best way to do this.
Delcarations in import options which one of the below is best and why?
name type char30
kunnr type kunnr
or
name like zstable-name
kunnr like zstable-kunnr
or
kunnr type zstable-kunnr
name type zstable-name.
2. inserting into table
the data that we recieve from the import parameters need to be inserted into the zstable.
please suggest me the appropriate statement waht i need to code for this.
insert kunnr name into zstable.
can i ignore the third field as it is not the key field?
3. before inserting do i need to check whether kunnr and uname is initial ie import parametrs?
4. suppose if i delcared two input parameters in function module zfuntion say vbeln and posnr.
and source code
insert vbeln and posnr into zstable.
now i am calling from the program
zreport.
call function 'ZFUNCTION'.
EXPORT
NAME =
KUNNR =
Will the above statement updates the blank records into the table zstable?.

Hi,
1) I think the best is either refer directly to data element or to table field. This is beacuse once any change is made to this data element it will automatically reflect in your parameters. For table fields it is a bit less safier but still correct. Golden rule - always try to refer to DDIC components like data elements.
name type dname
kunnr type kunnr
2) You need to provide all key fields. I recommend to use MODIFY as it would hanlde both INSERT (if yet no such record exists ) and UPDATE (if already exists).
data: wa_zstable type zstable. "declare work area
wa_zstable-kunnr = kunnr. "pass parameters here
wa_zstable-name = name.
modify zstable from wa_zstable.
3) good practise, for this use
if kunnr is initial and
   name is initial.
"modify ...
endif.
"or if parameters are set as OPTIONAL, then use
if kunnr is supplied and
   name is supplied.
endif.
4) No, the statment you want to use
insert vbeln and posnr into zstable.
is only used for FIELD GROUPS, not DB table. Please refer [INSERT|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu/en/ABAPINSERT_DBTAB_SHORTREF.htm] for correct syntax.
You can alternatively use somthing like
UPDATE zstable SET vbeln = ...
                                        posnr = ...
                                 WHERE ...
This will update fields VBELN and PONR for all records fullfilling WHERE condition. These however musn't be key fields, only non-key fields can be udpated.

Make Northern light and turn into Logo

Hi there wizards!
I'm working on my project and I need to make something that looks like the Northern light.
I think I'm going to do this with Trapcode form in After effects.
But my problem is, how can I turn the Smog effect (Northern Light) turn into a logo on a very organic way.
Like a smokey morph.
If you got tutorials that could help me out or a different technique, I would like to hear that
Thanks for the help!
Greets,
Stylow

The first time I saw something like this was a tutorial by George Polevoy posted on Creative Cow about 15 years ago. It was all the rage for a while and you saw it everywhere from tv commercials to feature film titles. It's pretty simple really.
Here's the original tutorial.
With the new plug-ins Turbulent Noise and Compound Blur it's even easier. George's tutorial will give you the idea.

Imported photo and video into aperture. Now missing

I imported some photos and video into aperture last night. I also imported 14,000 jpegs from an SD card shot on a gopro. I checked it was all in four seperate folders in aperture and even wached one folders content as a slideshow. I left my Mac on last night. When I returned to do more work all last nights imports were gone. I am no expert in aperture and have had no problems before.
I contacted apple support and was advised to delete aperture (not the library) and get the up to date version from App store. This I did but still no sign.
Where should I be looking. I haver done all the usual searches of the project names I saved etc. HELP

Thanks Leonie
I have looked at GraphicConverter and I'm considering a purchase. I have been trying various free tools for fiddling with metadata but none have ever been entirely satisfactory.
What I particularly like about Aperture's geotagging is that you can drag and drop on to a Google map - nice and easy. But I hate that I have to export the image in order to embed - I have a decent DSLR now so there's no way I will run those original images through an export process - Aperture definitely does interefere with the image as well as the metadata! I wish Aperture would allow proper writing of metadata to masters - other forums confirm it can only write IPTC metadata, and even that appears to be flaky! I don't want all my information to be tied in to Aperture - each master file should 'stand alone' with all its relevant information intact, for any tool I choose to use to interact with it, or if I should send it to anyone else.
I can't see from their website - is there a user-frendly interface in GraphicConverter for geotagging including a map drag-and-drop? Or do you manually have to enter coordinates in to metadata fields? I assume you can edit IPTC and EXIF metadata to add keywords and things? This would be a useful tool alongside Aperture, to make up for its shortcomings.
I could use GraphicConverter to add geotags (and keywords) prior to import in to Aperture as part of my import process. At least until I get a camera with GPS and then all this will be a thing of the past!
I will investigate with videos and post back here with any results.My research on the web is very inconclusive and it looks like different manufacturers use different conventions for video geotags, so I'll see what I can do!
Personally I find geotags one of the most valuable pieces of metadata I can attach to my personal images and videos, alongside date and time, so i am determined to find a way to do both!!

Importing WMA files- turn into mpeg 4 files- Help Please!

I've just installed iTunes for the first time, and while converting my WMA files, it has turned them into mpeg4 files. How can i turn them back to mp3 files????

If the "Kind" says "MPEG Audio" then what you have are MP3 files.
The format to which WMAs will be converted is controlled by the setting in Edit > Preferences > General > Import Settings > Import Using.

Import settings needed for importing AVI and DVD into a DV project (FCE)

I'm new to FCE but have come from an Adobe Premiere background and I'm struggling a bit as I have a project that is half complete and I have exported from (windows) Premiere as an AVI (which I know I will have to put through Streamclip - btw couldn't export to quicktime for some reason).The rest will be mainly from DV camera and a small amount ripped from DVD using Aimersoft's dvd ripper. The problem is that I am trying to put it all in the same format so that the project runs smoothly but also keeping the number of conversions to a minimum. I am having trouble matching them all up and am using DV Pal as my main format.
I have 3 main queries:
1) When I import from DV camera it appears to convert it to a .MOV format (it lists that as a quicktime movie) using a DVC-PAL Codec, is this right?
2) I have imported my half complete AVI project through streamclip as a DV (DV25) PAL 720x576 16:9 clip but it needs rendering (it does play on the canvas though)...is there something I've missed?
3) I am trying to import the dvd parts through Aimersoft DVD Ripper and there seems to be no option for DV Pal. Do I need to import into another format and then use streamclip (once I get it working properly)? Or should I use another compatible app?
I have looked at handbrake but this seems to not support any of my needs for now. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi David,
Thanks for your help. I do have a few more queries if anyone can help. I've overcome the issue of transferring mid project by writing the project back to tape which seems to work well. I am having a problem importing from DVD now though using streamclip, I have imported it to the MAC no problem at all. However the project is a DV (PAL) Anamorphic project and despite importing the dvd at 720X576 (Unscaled and DVPAL settings both at 4:3 and 16:9) the clips still need rendering. I have further tapes to import which are anamorphic so need to keep the project settings as they are. I feel I am so near yet so far!

Import keywords and ratings into Aperture from adobe apps?

Hi,
I'm currently using adobe bridge/ps2/pse etc as my main apps. I use keywords and ratings extensively.
When I import my photos into aperture, will I also be able to keep my current ratings/keyword tagging?
Thanks.

I also used Bridge/ACR to rate and add keywords to RAWS (Canon) and also used Adobe DNG converter to make DNG files from these.
No ratings or keywords have imported for any RAWs and DNGs. And, for some DNG files (which I can see in Bridge and iViewMedia), they cannot be displayed in Aperture. It's very strange since I've used the same workflow to create the DNG files over the past year. Some can be imported/viewed, some cannot be viewed. All originally from the same camera/RAW file. I've read in this forum that Aperture cannot read things like keywords from sidecar files.
I am hopeful that Apple will make DNG sidecar file import a big priority.

IPhoto importing pictures and turning royal blue. Why?

I copied jpg files from a cd to my husband's pc and then wrote these
pics to a flash drive. I then copied the folder from the flash drive
and pasted folder to my imac's desktop. Preview shows the files
as black line drawings on a white background. After importing
these files to iPhoto, the background changes from white to royal
blue. Why is this happening?

Well, "Old Toad", you are my hero of the day. I went to your cellar and downloaded "convert to jpg and embed srgb profile.zip", dragged it to my desktop, dropped a desktop pic into it, imported the pic to
Iphoto, and "wala" a black line drawing with a WHITE background. TADA. So, since I have a copy of the whole file, "Redwork for Iphoto" on my desktop, which has 100 jpgs in it, should I use your cellar's
"embed srgb profile2.zip" or embed srgb profile--Apple script.zip" which is lossless for the whole file?
The file has 100 jpg's that are designs from "Redwork from the WorkBasket", that are pics of the Redwork designs for my embroidery machines. The designs are designed to be embroidered with red thread and the pics in the book are red line drawings on a white background. I have several thousand designs, now, organized into albums (with category dividers) in Iphoto, which I sync to my iphone, so I can see what I have and can use on my embroidery machines. This is the first batch of designs from either the web or from purchased cd's where I have encountered the rgb issue. The royal blue background makes the photos hard to see on my iphone, and you have a way for me to
"redo" my import process, which will be easy. THANKS..
PS I think you helped me with Iphoto, once, when my iphoto lib crashed, after I bought my first Apple product 3+ years ago--an imac. I too, live in Temecula. Do you happen to know if there is an
Apple user group in the area?
PSS If I owned Bernina's Designer Plus software (which I don't, yet), I would offer to thank you by embroidering your Old Toad pic onto a sweatshirt. If you have any free time, you might stop by
Temecula Valley Sewing Center and ask either Aileen or Brian if one of their customers could do that for you.
THANKS AGAIN.

Why are my texts getting sent back to me and turned into group messages?

I had an ongoing conversation with someone. There weren't any problems. I sent myself a picture from my laptop to myself in iMessage. When I looked at my phone, it displayed 3 different conversations with my name as the name. I noticed that the last thing I had said to the other person was the message preview for one of my names so it was as if somehow my conversation replaced his. I clicked it open and it appeared to be blank so I deleted it.
I went to send him a text from the new message thing, but when i would send a text to his phone number, it would automatically be sent to me instead and open my name's conversation again.
When I looked at the conversation with him on my laptop in iMessage, the history was all still there, so I tried to send him a message from my laptop and it would display that the message was not sent. Except though it didn't send to him, it did send back to myself again. This time even using his ringtone that I have only for him. I restarted my phone to see if this would fix the problem. When I turned my phone on, it was back to normal with his conversation and all of its history, but when i tried to send him a text again, it turned the conversation into a group message with him, and myself? I'm very confused and I don't know how to fix this. Can anyone help with this problem? I tried searching the internet for people with similar problems and couldn't find anything. :I
Thank you.

If you're exchanging texts with someone who has a basic phone, messages they send to you will be broken up into blocks no larger than 160 characters. They wil also receive your messages broken up in the blocks not larger than 160 characters.
