Using mov files create from power point in Final Cut.

Hello, I am trying to import a mov file that I exported from power point into Final Cut pro. I'm using final cut 5 and power point 11.3.2 . When I try to import the mov file, final cut says file error: unknown file type. how can I get final vut to recognize this file or how can I convert it to a file that final cut will recognize???
thanks for your time
mike

If I am not mistaken, Power Point exports .wmv files. If this is the file type you have I would recommend purchasing Flip4Mac. It is not that expensive and it will provide .wmv support to QT.

Unwanted Pillarboxing in 4:3 .mov file created from 4:3 .avi file

I have been having problems prepping 4:3 .AVI and .DV files for use in Final Cut Express 4. Final Cut Pro is happiest using DV/DVCPRO .mov files, so I have been using Quicktime Pro to do the conversion. The problem is that QTP adds pillarboxing into the video converted from the AVIs: approximately 7 pixels wide black bars on the left and right edges of the video frame. The black bars are NOT visible in the original AVI when it is viewed in QTP, no matter what presentation aperture I select in the QTP Movie Properties window. The black bars are visible in the converted file (DV/DVCPRO .mov) created from the AVI when I view it in QTP, in any presentation aperture but "Clean".
If I drop the .mov files into either iMovie 6 or FCE 4, the bars are visible. If I drop the original AVI into FCE 4 or iMovie 6, there are no black bars. Interestingly, when I drag the .DV files iMovie 6 creates from the AVI out of iMovie and then play it in QTP, it does not have black bars (using any presentation aperture). I can drop this .DV into FCE 4 and see no black bars. If I use QTP to convert the original file AVI to the same .DV format as created by iMovie, I get black bars!
Quicktime and Quicktime Pro Version is 7.3.1.
The initial AVI format is: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640x480 (its 4:3 video with square pixels), 30fps, progressive, millions of colors, Sound: 8-bit unsigned integer mono, 11.024kHz.
The output QT .mov file format I am using is: DV/DVCPRO, 4:3, 29.97fps, progressive, Sound : 16-bit 48 kHz, Stereo.
I have tried various output sizes: 640x480, 720x480 4:3, 720x486 4:3, "Compressor Native" (which should be the same as 720x480 4:3), and "Current" (which says its using 640x480). All the variations generate black bars. Out of desperation, I even tried exporting interlaced, rather than progressive, and of course that had no effect. I get exactly the same behavior in MPEG Streamclip, so it seems possible there may be something deep in Quicktime itself that is responsible, not just QTP.
QTP seems to want a square pixel 640x480 4:3 video to be 654x480 to get it to 4:3. That's a 4.0875:3 aspect ratio. I have been searching high and low on the net for definitive info on this. I have seen references to Apple adding the notion of "Aperture" to the QTP interface and to using 4.09:3 aspect ratios, and Apple saying there is no real defined standard. Whatever that means.
Does anyone know what is going on here? Can anyone point me at a web page that explains Apple's ideas about aspect ratios? Is there a checkbox in QTP that I have overlooked that would give me control over this behavior?
As described above, iMovie 6 certainly seems to know how to use the Quicktime engine in such a way not to introduce the black bars. It just doesn't create the format I need!

I think I just found the solution to my problem. When I open the original AVI file and look in the Movie Properties Presentation tab, the "Conform to Aperture" option is checked, and set to "Clean". If I uncheck it and THEN export the movie to either a .mov or .dv file, Quicktime Pro doesn't add black bars on the left and right in the output movie, and the resulting file works great in FCE4 and iMovie 6!
I thought the conform to aperture was just a viewer mode, and didn't realize it could modify the content of the video during conversions. Still, I would still be interested if anyone could provide links to web pages that explain this better. Thanks.

How do i export multiple full resolution movie files at the same time in final cut pro 6?

I've been using Final Cut Pro since version 3 came out, know the program well, have even had jobs consisting of just operating the program. I'm currently running version 6 because that's the latest one that works on my computer. Back in verison 3, there used to be an option under Export to export a "Final Cut Pro" movie, which was really a Quicktime movie but appeared with a FCP icon and defaulted to opening in FCP, but the important thing about it is that it was a full resolution copy of the movie with no compression. Now, that option seems to have been changed to "export Quicktime movie." In my opinion that change is kind of stupid since it is so much less specific and is even less of an implication that one is exporting a full resolution file. But in fact you are.
One also has the option of using Compressor to export a version of a movie, and therein there are so many different options that if you are not confused by it I think there's something wrong with you. Moreover, it would appear that there is no equivalent of exporting a full resolution version of a file in Compressor. Fair enough: a full-resolution file involves no compression so is not appropriate for "Compressor." BUT, suppose you want to export multiple uncompressed, full-resolution movies at once. When you use Compressor, you are able to create batch lists and export many things at the same time, for instance, lists that will take many hours to complete so you can go to bed and get the results the next day. But as far as I can tell there is no way to do this at full resolution without compression. Instead you have to sit at the computer waiting for each one to finish and after each one, manually go to the next and select "export Quicktime movie." Even if there is a way to do this I would complain that such an obviously desireable thing is so unaccessable. In fact, the only reason I've typed out my question at such length is because I'm stuck here waiting for each one of my movies to export.
Anyway, all my complaints aside, anyone know how to do this?

what you're missing to export multiple files is the batch export command available in the file menu or by control clicking on the items in the browser. You can export multiple sequences/clips at full resolution with this.
This has been available in fcp for a long long time.
Wow, you are right. Now that you mention it, I can't believe I never noticed that. Thanks.
Only if you have the 'Self-Contained' box checked. Otherwise you'll end up with a reference movie.
Correct. That box is typically checked by default. There are other default settings you could change that would not result in a full-quality version, but what I meant was hitting that option from the pull-down menu, then changing nothing and hitting ok.

Using FXD files created from SVG files

I created a draw using inkscape that saves as SVG,
and created an FXZ file using the production suite.

Can I make a pdf with hyperlinks from Power Point using Acrobat ?

I have a Power Point presentation which includes hyperlinks to websites. When I use the Power Point slide display they work.
Can Acrobat make a pdf from Power Point which includes the hyperlinks ?
Will the hyperlinks work when the pdf is displayed by Acrobat Reader?
Thanks

newbie

But I want the pages in the pdf shown spreadwise.
In AcrobatPro you can set the initial document view of single pages as spreads via Page Layout: Two-Up Continuous (Cover Page)

Is there a way to load a movie file created using FlattenMovie() function ?

Is there a way to load a movie file created using FlattenMovie() function ? I tried with NewMovieFromFile() , everything went well but the movie video track somehow had been corrupted.
The thing is I could nicely convert the original Movie data structure using an export component. But the one I recreated after saving disk did not converted well ( It produced only sound ). Plz help I seached all over the documents to unerstand 'How to use flattened files' but could not.

New to apple and wondering if using keynote is easier than power point.

Hello all,
I have only been using os x for about 6 months, and I was wondering if using keynote is easier than power point? I am in school so I need to know if keynote will save in ppt format. The school that I go to only uses MS office 97 to 2004 format for all docs and power points. Is using keynote that much different?

i find keynote MUCH easier in almost all areas. it did take me a little learning in the beginning. the main thing to know is that apple uses a floating pallet call "inspector" to control just about all the details of the presentation. they also have a "formatting bar" which is conceptually similar to the formatting bars microsoft uses in the previous versions of office (font size, etc...).
the basic entry for slides is the same, where one just types into the fields on the slides. what i find much better is the control i have in the "inspector" to fine tune anything. i've gotten completely dependent on keynotes "staging" which is how one makes the slides animate. if i have a series of bullets and a diagram, i use the staging to get the diagram to be revealed in stages and to get the bullets appear one at a time in sync with the diagram i'm explaining. nothing is more boring for an audience to have someone just stand up, thru up a slide with 100 words and read the text bullets.
i find keynote to be much easier to develop diagrams or to copy and paste in a PDF picture. then add the staging effects i need to develop the story to explain the diagram or picture. it does take a little learning how to do it the first couple times. but the interface is consistent and it's not hard to learn it.
the only aspect i find a little easier in powerpoint is the indenting style, which is controlled in one of the editing buttons in office 11 and before. keynote controls the indenting from the "inspector" instead of having a little button in the formatting bar. but in every other way, i find keynote to be MUCH easier to use. and it has other features that powerpoint doesn't have. plus iwork is very inexpensive compared to microsoft office. finally, if you are near an apple store, they have free seminars on iWork fairly often. the 1st time i used keynote, i went to the apple store workshop and got a few answers. just see how easy it is to get person to person help for microsoft office...
the only other game in town are the various releases of the open source programs, "open office" and "neo office". they are free, also read and write ppt files, but are a little harder to use than keynote and don't have as many features.
anyway, that's my experience.
good luck!

How can I copy a movie I created from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro?

I recently had my iPad 3 and my MacBook Pro stolen. I still have my iPhone 5. I created a home video with Final Cut Pro on my missing MBP. I imported that video into iTunes and put it on my iPad and iPhone in the videos app. Now I need to get the video from my phone back onto my new MBP but have not been able to figure out how. It doesn't show up in iPhoto so I can't do it there. I tried using AirPlay or sharing but the video app doesn't allow sharing. I rescued my pictures and video clips with senuti but it did not work for the movie files. Please help. I cannot sync my phone with my computer until I get this resolved for fear of loosing the video.

If you rented it on your phone then you can't, you can only watch it on the phone - from FAQs about renting movies from the iTunes Store :
If you rented the movie on your computer, you can move it to an iOS device or Apple TV (1st generation).
If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.

DNG files created from Fujifilm FinePix E-900 .RAF raw files

I'm having a problem in creating DNG files from my Fujifilm FinePix E-900 camera .RAF raw files on my Mac (Mac OS X 10.6.4). The DNG files are recognized correctly in Adobe software (Photoshop CS4, Bridge, Lightroom 3) but not by any Apple software (including Aperture 3.0).
I've used Adobe DNG Converter 6.1, Photoshop CS4, and Lightroom 3 to create these non-linear DNG files. As a point of reference, I've used the same settings to create DNG files from Kodak .KDC raws files that Apple also doesn't support, but these DNG files (created from the .KDC raw files) show up just fine in Aperture 3.0.
The one thing I find unusual about the .DNG files created from the Fujifilm FineFix E-900 .RAF raw files is that when I do a 'Get Info' on these files, the image dimensions of these .DNG files always shows up as 0 x 0. (The image dimensions should be listed as 3488 x 2616.)
So I'm wondering if there is something wrong (a bug maybe) on how these files are being converted to the DNG file format using Adobe DNG Converter 6.1, Photoshop CS4 or Lightroom 3 on a Mac.
Peter

Hi Frank, you need camera Raw 7.4 which is only available for PSE11. Consider upgrading or wait for PSE12 to be launched soon. If you regularly shoot raw try Lightroom with PSE10 as your external editor.
Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in PSE10 (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.1
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.1
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Importing movie files created with SONY HDR-TG5

Having trouble importing movie files created with this camera. Have had success importing direct from the camera using streamclip, but struggling with old files imported from our PC. These files have these two extensions; .modd and .m2ts

Eric:
Thank you. MPEG Slipstream worked great.
Do you know if there is software available that would let me see what is in/copy the files in the Sony folder so that I might be able to copy the disk directly instead of having to copy the files off of it with Handbrake? Would having the QT add-on for the MPEG-2 playback component be helpful?
Thanks again

Cutting MOV Files created by EOS cameras

Hello,
I'm experiencing problems using Premiere Elements 8 to work with MOV files created by the Canon EOS 7D camera (Full HD 1920/30fps). Without rendering the files cannot be played and rendering takes hours. Impossible to work because even a simple 4 sec crossover blend between two scenes takes 15 min calculation time for rendering, without the possibility to check the crossover before. Premiere runs on a 2x2.26 GHz Laptop, 4GB RAM. Same problem also with another laptop. The current quicktime version has been installed.
I would be glad for some tipps, Thanks

HERE'S one on the 7D in PrE, with at least one link to another thread.
Happy reading. There's a lot of good suggestions in those. Pay special attention to the comments in the PrPro forum from Jeff Bellune. One poster, PaulineDC has both cameras and offers some observations. I'd look at her replies too. Also, look for links. Some will be to articles that I have already posted links to, but there should be several more.
Good luck,
Hunt

Aspect ratio issues in iDVD with mov files exported from FCE

Please help. I believe this is an iDVD bug. I have found some relevant discussion of it on online forums - but have not found a solution that works for me. I am looking for a workaround.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1356500&tstart=31
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
My 4:3 movies, exported from FCE in QT-with-conversion formats (any 4:3 format) - appear in iDVD with gray side-pillars (as expected for 4:3) AND with a black line (letter-boxing) at top and bottom - as would be for 16:9. It appears the aspect ratio is also distorted i.e. 16:9. (The iDVD project is set to 4:3.)
1- A 4:3 mov file exported from FCE using Quicktime Movie format (no conversion) does not have the problem, but I cannot de-interlace the video using this export mode.
2) A 4:3 mov file exported using QT-with-conversion mode (any 4:3 format) DOES have the problem. I need to use this mode in order to get de-interlace.
(Exception: 640x480 VGA mode does not have the black lines, and it displays correctly in dvd player on my computer screen - but on the TV screen, it crops content from the top and bottom of the movie, so this is not an option.)
3) In Finder, if you click on mov file exported QT-only (no conversion), it opens in the FCE viewer. If you click on mov file exported in any other 4:3 mode, it opens in Quicktime viewer (i.e. there is absolutely something different in the header/ID of these files.)
4) All mov files, regardless of export mode, show correctly in Quicktime viewer - no black line, no distortion. The problem does not occur outside of iDvd.
5) I tried passing the QT-with-conversion mov files through an Inverse-Anamorphicizer (per suggestion on forum - this apparently fixed the problem for some people) but the resulting output mov (i.e. the inverted product) still had the same problem.
I am, so far, left with this trade-off: Give up the de-interlacing, or live with the letter-boxing/ distortion. Neither is acceptable.
I am looking for a workaround:
1) A way to export de-interlaced 4:3 mov from FCE that shows in correct ratio in iDVD
2) A way to "convert" / re-head mov file after exported so that it displays corrrectly (inverse-anamorphicize) so that iDVD reads it correctly
3) Can the mov be de-interlaced after the fact (so I could use QT export without conversion)?
4) Something besides iDVD to put this together - that doesn't have this problem? (I like and want to use the iDVD menu/theme.)
5) Other?????
I also notice that all the QT-with-conversion mov files are 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the QT-only mov file, which is valuable and preferable to me. (I don't see any quality difference in the display...)

In the Preview window > top frame > middle button
do you have correct for pixel aspect ratio checked or not?

How can you convert and use a youtube video in power point presentation?

Is there an easy way to use a youtube video in power point presentation? I have 2012 Macbook Pro running OSX 10.9.2 - Thanks!

See if this helps I use keynote for moving background in loop all the time.

I just tried to copy text from power point to a word document. Since then the word document is frozen an shows no reaction. Also can not restart word. Can anyone help me to unfreeze or recover the word document?

If the PDF page content is an image (for text that'd by the image that any scanner provides) then it is an image that exports to Word.
Regardless, Adobe Reader cannot export PDF page content, cannot create PDF and cannot manipulate PDF page content.
Adobe Reader is a PDF viewer only.
Perhaps you have a subscription to one of Adobe's online subscription services.
(ExportPDF, PDF Pack, etc.)
Each of the online subscription services have their own dedicated user-2-user forums.
Easy find as there here in Adobe's Forums. Hmmm, just dumping somewhere means ... Ah well, won't go there. Miss Manners would not approve eh.
Resources for getting into a dialog with Adobe:

Importing OMF files created from Final Cut 4.5

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to import an OMF file created from Final Cut 4.5 and I'm getting a message saying "skipping audio part- edit point 190316987 too big." After I hit OK, I get thrown out of Logic 7. Has anyone had a similiar message, and if they did what did you do?
Powermac G5 dual 2 ghz Mac OS X (10.4.5)
