Trying to minimize the duration of a hundred files in clips.

Is there a way to do this by selecting all? Or do I have to go one by one and manually change it before I drag it into the bar?
Thanks guys.
(trying to make a quick montage of images here and take them down from 5 seconds, which is way too long for me)
Cheers.

Hi ankitae - you can do them all together. Firstly select them all, then in the Photos editing area - (Media>Photos>Show Photo Settings) - turn off KB, adjust the duration and hit 'Update'.

Is there a way to change the duration of a group of selected clips all at once?

Hi all,
I'm working with good old Premiere 6 on Windows 7.
Is there a way to change the duration of a group of selected clips all at once? If I have a large group of clips in my timeline that are all the same duration, once I've selected them all in a group, can I somehow change the frame number duration of all the clips at the same time?
I've found other things that can be done to a group of clips at the same time, but I can't find a way to change the duration of a group of selected clips.
Thanks,
digi

Thanks Jim and Bill,
In my efforts to work around the problems with the distortion and horizontal interlace lines that come when using the Motion Settings, I'm doing stop frame animation with hundreds and hundreds of layers in PSDs in multiple files placed in hundreds of one, four and six frame sections in Premiere, so if I find that I need to change the number of frames per clip in hundreds of consecutive clips (not actual duration of speed changes), then I need to pull out the right side of hundreds of frames after first moving them apart enough to allow for changing them if I'm making them longer.
These animations are different from the rotating reel animations in that they are for laterally moving subjects that are long streams of moving graphics and photos.
I read about "clip nesting", but I think that only applies to clips or groups of clips that are the same, whereas my clips are each from different imported layers times 125 or so, consecutively placed one after another to create the laterally moving stop frame animation.
Now I've tried johnbmx4christ's alternate method of creating rotations that was just posted on the other thread about the rotation distortion, but that method results in the same oblong distortion and messed up looking horizontal interlace lines.
What a can of worms.
Thanks,

Are you using the Adjust Date and Time option or the Batch Change option? If it's the former try the latter. If you get the same results launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import the same video file and check to see if the same problem persists.

An error occured while trying to copy the needed DB driver jar files

When I try to run my web app, I see this error in the Output window.
Creator will also put up a window essentially saying that I don't have a particular
data source. But I do have that very data source there.
The error seems to be pointing to this line in my build-impl.xml file
<nbdeploy debugmode="false" clientUrlPart="${client.urlPart}" forceRedeploy="${forceRedeploy}"/>

I'm using postgresql-8.1-404.jdbc3.jar

Pdf file is too big (7MB). Need a pdf file with max size 4MB. How to minimize the size of a pdf file?

pdf file is too big (7MB). Need a pdf file with max size 4MB. How to minimize the size of a pdf file?

The other alternative is the Save As Other>Reduce File Size. The PDF Optimizer gives you more control. You might also use the audit feature in the PDF Optimizer to see where the size problem is coming from. You might find that in the WORD file you can select and image and then go to the FORMAT (pictures) menu and select compress for all of the bitmaps in the file. That will typically use 150 dpi by default that is adequate for most needs.

How can determine the duration of an audio file

Hi,
i'm making speech recognition project using java. i can capture sound by michrophone and playback it. the type of the sound is .wav.
my question is how to determine the recording duration (for example: determine the duration for 0.25 second) because i must recorded syllable,the assumtion is needed less than 0.5 second to say a word. and then.. can this wav file be changed into... binary or integer ?
thanks for your help

FYI I'm newbie in Java,
Yes, I want to limit the audio file lengths to a certain value. What should I do?
I have read wav file using an AudioInputStream, for audio format I'm using sampleRate = 8000.0F and sampleSizeInBits = 8. My friend said if I used 8 bit for sampleSizeInBit (resolution in amplitude) the binary file should be -128 till 127 in range according to the bit. I try this code and the result is binary file which is zero, positive, and negative.
the code
try{
audioInputStream.read(audioBytes);
for (int i=0; i<audioBytes.length;i++){
System.out.println(audioBytes);
catch(IOException ioe){
System.out.println("Error"+ioe);
I'm not sure that the code is right, but it works. Should I change the audioBytes into integer before? I try this code but it doesn't work.
int a = new int[audioBytes.length];
for (int i=0;i<audioBytes.length;i++){
a[i] = new Byte(audioBytes[i]).intValue();
this binary file has been printed in console (Im using texpad). So, how I can write that to file.txt? I'm using FileoutputStream but it doesn't work correctly. Here is the code
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(strFilePath);
{audioInputStream.read(audioBytes);
fos.write(audioBytes);
catch (IOException ioe){
System.out.println("Error"+ioe);
When I open file .txt is read as character like this üüüüüüüüüüüüûüüüûüûûû ||||||| ||||||| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ےےےےےےےےےےےے (like using alt plus number)

The duration of an audio file

I need to determine the length of my audio file. Right now I am using .caf files, but I can see how I might this to work with mp3s also.
Anyhow, I see this tidbit from the Apple Core Audio Spec:
mSampleRate
The number of sample frames per second of the data. You can combine this value with the frames per packet to determine the amount of time represented by a packet. This value must be nonzero.
That's looking good, except this will only tell me the duration of the packet. I can't find out how many packets my total audio file has. (And yes, this is a file, not a stream.)
What am I missing? Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.

Unless I am mis-interpreting the question this should work:
+(NSTimeInterval)getDurationForAudioFile:(NSString*)path
OSStatus status = 0;
AudioFileID audioFile;
NSTimeInterval seconds;
UInt32 propertySize;
propertySize = sizeof(seconds);
status = AudioFileOpenURL((CFURLRef)[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path],
fsRdPerm, AUDIOFILETYPE, &audioFile);
status = AudioFileGetProperty (
audioFile,
kAudioFilePropertyEstimatedDuration,
&propertySize,
&seconds);
return seconds;

Does anyone have problems with their mac having a Medium-write error? Mine is totally out of hand... I have wasted countless CDs, I've purchased the Mac CDs, and I have tried to minimize the burn speed... The problem continues, and I need this for work.

My mac keeps saying medium-write error, and it's become out of hand. I've done all the suggested things to prevent it, by buying apple CDs, minimizing the burn speed, and restarting my computer... I need to burn CDs for my job, and I am a firm apple supporter... This is just out of control it took me 90 mins to finally burn a CD, because I had to go through 10 other CDs... HELP.

I doubt they're any better than anything else.
I may have an Apple CD-R around here somewhere...

Get the duration of all mp3 files inside a directory

Hello everyone,
I am working on a little project done with swing. Since I need an mp3 player inside my swing application, I found a really good solution with JavaFX 2. I have never worked with JavaFX before, therefor it seems to me a little bit strange on some parts.
Anyway.
I created a button on my application and as soon as somebody presses that button, the application should scan recursivly a unique directory for mp3 files and store the information of artist, title and track length into a database.
The mp3 player I created is based on the example from this page:
http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/JavaFX/Mp3playerwithmetadataviewandcontrolpanel.htm
I understand the source code for most parts, but some behaivors are not really clear to me. My thoughts about getting the complete length of the mp3 file was
media.getDuration
or
mediaplayer.getTotalDuration
but both results are NaN if I call .toMillis();
Instead I need to create a listener (why?)
private class TotalDurationListener implements InvalidationListener {
    @Override
    public void invalidated(Observable observable) {
      final MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = songModel.getMediaPlayer();
      final Duration totalDuration = mediaPlayer.getTotalDuration();
      totalDurationLabel.setText(formatDuration(totalDuration));
}and register this listener on the mediaplayer
mp.totalDurationProperty().addListener(new TotalDurationListener());I can image that the mediaplayer can "host" several media objects somewho and the listener is called as soon as a new media will be added to the mediaplayer in order
the calculate the overall duration.
When is this listener exactly called and is there no other ways to get the total length of the mp3 file?
Here is a minimal example which should work without any external libs

          BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
          Scene scene = new Scene(root, Color.ALICEBLUE);
          fxPanel.setScene(scene);
}The other question is why do I need a listener for the meta data to be changed in order to get the meta data?
media.getMetadata().addListener(new MapChangeListener<String, Object>()Why can't I call something like
media.getMetadata() --> returns a filled map?
The metadata problem is not included inside the example from above.
Sorry for my english but I hope everybody can understand the issue.
Many greetings,
Hauke

The nature of the Media class is that it accesses it asynchronously. This means that when you create an instance of it, and then immediately query it, the data you want may not be available yet. This is all in the Javadoc, see the doc for Media:
The media information is obtained asynchronously and so not necessarily available immediately after instantiation of the class. All information should however be available if the instance has been associated with a MediaPlayer and that player has transitioned to MediaPlayer.Status.READY statusSo you could associate the Media with a MediaPlayer, and then wait until it goes to the Status READY, and then read the length of the Media.
As for your 2nd question, getMetadata() returns a Map. You can just loop through it:
for(Map.Entry<String, Object> entry : media.getMetadata()) {
    // etc
}However, the same restrictions apply as with Media -- you will probably need to wait before the information is available -- that's why the Listener approach works, because it will notify you as soon as the information is added to the map.

Setting the duration of imported .png files

I am making a movie of hundreds of sequenced .png (or.jpg) images produced by an scientific application
I want each image to have a duration in the movie of .1 secs.
Whatever I do, each image is impoorted with a duration of 10 secs. In iMovie, I could easily change this to all the images in one go.
I can find no way to deo thois in FCP

Hi Daytrip589,
Just wondering if you're situation has been resolved. I have a similar problem with PSE 11, getting the message about nothing was imported. I shoot RAW, have imported with this camera before ( a Canon G15) but couldn't the last time I tried. Cheers, Glenn.

Trying to send the audio of a example.dv video clip as .mp3 through mail.

I imported a video clip and I need to send just the audio as an .mp3 through an email. The video file is a ( .dv ) How do I do this? Need a quick reply too.
joshua

Hi Jomala,
open iMovie, create a New Project. In File menu, choose "Import" and select your .dv file. It will appear in iMovie as a clip. Put your clip in the iMovie timeline.
In iMovie, Advanced menu, choose "Extract Audio".
Close iMovie and save your project.
Now, if you look in the "Media" folder of this new project folder created by iMovie, you' ll find a AIFF file (I think it's named "voice 01").
Open iTunes and in iTunes preference, Advanced, set "Importing" to mp3 encoder.
Drag your AIFF file into iTunes, select it and choose "Convert selection to mp3" in the Advanced menu of iTunes. It creates a new mp3 version of the sound file that you can drag and drop on your desktop then send by email.
