2010 15" HiRes Anti-Glare video and photo viewing issues

In January 2012 I bought my MBP through Apple's refurb dept.
After some weird glitchy things, which a recent format may have fixed, and some overall speed issues that i cant figure out, my monitor seems to suck.
Movies are WAY too dark, and while I can fix it a little in the DVD options, the movies look like they're on a 13 year old plasma TV, not too vivid and not too sharp.
I also do photo editing which is why I bought my 24" matte screen iMac in 2006 and why I bought the upgraded screen on this MBP. But my iMac screen played back movies and photos much sharper and with better color rendition than this MBP screen. (On top of that, my 3GB iMac was peppier and just seemed faster running programs than this 8GB MBP.)
Help.
I can't really go to an apple store because I moved from the US to Japan. The move here is the whole reason I bought the MBP, and now I miss my old iMac.

That said .. please keep in mind that running your machine with faster card will cause it heat up more and drain battery rather quickly .. gfx card status has a nice switch in it's preferences that allows you to set the preferred card for machines power states
hope this helps

Video and Photo Vieweing Drains Battery

When I play videos or view photos on my 30GB iPod, my battery gets drained in less than a few minutes. My iPod is fully charged and I make sure I don't over-charge my iPod. I have asked other people and they say that their batter doesn't drain fast. I do get my videos from the Music Store so I know it's safe for my iPod, for the pictures, their just pictures. Is this a problem with my battery, the software, or is it a common problem that a few other people have with their iPod Video.

Most likely a problem with your battery. If you have the original 5th gen iPod, it should play video for 2 hours, and if you have the new one, it should play for 3.5 hours. Perform the iPod battery test here:

to see if you need a new battery.

How can I organize home videos and photos in ipad

I don't have a mac or pc, just the new ipad. I'm planning to buy a camera card reader adapter so I can load my photos and videos directly from my camera card to my ipad. But then how do I organize my home videos and photos in my ipad into albums?
I saw the photo folder app does essentially what I want but does it treat videos the same as photos? I didn't see anything about it being able to organize videos.

See the follwoing and the links in the following:
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
Yuo will likely need a computer app to convert the format to one compatible with the iPad. I use the Free HandBrake app. It has an iPad preset.

How to create audio, video, and photo in a list view format

I'm creating a webstire entirely out of Flash using CS5 for a paranormal investigation group. In the past, using a Website Tonight template from GoDaddy had placed either an audio, video, or photograph with text above each item discusssing the content. Now, they would like this type of feature in the Flash website. I'm new to Flash, but seasoned in many other Adobe products ... not that this helps ... much!
Anyways, the website is looking great aside from this one set back, so I'm hoping someone out there can give me a helping hand. I'm willing to purchase a third-party template, but to incorporate that into our Flash file, seems daunting.
AUDIO
We need to load an audio that can play, pause, rewind, loop, and stop at the very least.
Then have text describing the situation around the audio.
repeat ... and so forth ...
New audio will be added to this section every week or so, and all the components need to scroll as the screen fills up. When adding new audio, we would add the new audio and text to the top of the list, pushing the remaining audio files down.
VIDEO
We need to load video footage with all the button features needed to play, stop, etc. I have found adding video quite easy, but to get the player to move with the text as the frame it is contained in scrolls down is another story. How do you do that?
Text describing the video contents will be above or next to the video player.
repeat ... and so forth ...
New video will be added to this section every week or so, and all the components need to scroll as the screen fills up. When adding new video, we would add the new video and text to the top of the list, pushing the remaining video files down.
PHOTOS
ditto as others
Thanks!!

As mentioned, building a custom application can be tricky, especially if you are not very familiar with Flash.
So you want a Web page with an audio player and selection list at the top (or where ever) and then a video player section, along with its playlist, and then at the bottom of the page you want a photo display area... Is that correct? and the scrolling you mentioned is because the page needs to be long enough to hold all 3 components? is that right?
Have you instead considered just using 3 different frames, one frame for each component and simple buttons to jump from audio to video to photos?
Or, skip the scrolling in Flash and let the html/css take care of the scrolling, just like any normal Web page. Just make the .swf as long as needed to display all your content.
Since you are new at this type of a project, I'd suggest you start small, take the project in steps... just build the audio player... then the video player... then your photo slide show..
Only after you have 3 working moduals would you but them together into one .fla
And yes, learn to use xml for ALL the data, audio, video, and photos.... very easy to update without having to re-publish any of the Flash.
Here is a good source for tutorials:
http://www.gotoandlearn.com/index.php?currentpage=11
Flash and xml
http://www.gotoandlearn.com/index.php?currentpage=13
learn to use NetStream to play your videos, much more versatile and powerful than using the FLVPlayback component
But learning how to incorporate xml into your Flash project is very important in a project like this. And then broken down into 3 components, it's really not that tough to build a project like this.

Guys please help I was making a video project on I movie then I uploaded it to itunes then I deleted the app and re downloaded it is there a way to retrieve the project ( I still have the videos and photos)

Hey guys I am currently making a video of 1 second per day I started on January 1st till yesterday that's a long project
On my ipad in the application iMovie, yesterday I tapped on that box on top right with an arrow pointing upward, then selected save to itunes. After that I deleted the application and re downloaded the update. And I can't find the project and when I tap import from itunes I find nothing, is there a way to retrieve that project? Considering that I have the videos and photos stored on the ipad, only the project is missing

Did you fail to transfer all purchases to your compter before updating?

I deleted all my photos and videos and then delete the deleted files but the photo app is still taking up 12 GB of space and I have no room for new stuff. How can I clear the memory space used by my deleted videos and photos?

How to Sort or Import video and photos together in iMovie?

This is a common request and I haven't seen a good answer. I'm trying to import a collection of video clips and photos from a trip together to make a timeline based video/photo slideshow (just adding music and some text for fun). All the media files (from a few cameras and smartphones) are properly timestamped. The files are even named such that in the folder on disk they can be sequentially sorted (YYYYMMDDhhmmss.mov or YYYYMMDDhhmmss.jpg). In most Windows based movie making applications simply importing all the files together (video and photos in one big drag and drop) puts them in order into the slideshow for tweaking/editing and adding music. But iMovie (which is what I want to use on my MAC with its great tools) doesn't let you import all the media together or easily sort all the content by source file name or timestamp (or anything as far as I can tell) once you drag all the video and photos into the project (separately since video importing and photo adding are done separately).
With 200+ photos and video clips it is too time consuming to manually arrange them in time order (interlacing the video clips into the photos in the proper time).
What can be done? I've seen this question since around 2009 and assumed that iMovie 11 would have a simple way to just sort the project timeline. Any help?

On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running?
There are several ways to avoid disturbing an existing Timeline when you are adding to it.
1. Using what are called keyboard modifiers, such as Ctrl or Alt (Windows).
2. Grouping block of clips so that the clips move together
The following video tutorial is offered for informational and not promotional reasons
Premiere Elements: Arranging clips on the Timeline using modifier keys | lynda.com - YouTube
It uses a version of Premiere Elements earlier than 13, but the principles involved are the same.
The video and audio that are going out of sync.... are they linked or grouped before the addition to the existing Timeline?
After the fact, you will need to move the Timeline components back in place.
If the video and audio are not linked or group, you can
(a) highlight the clip, hold down the Alt key of the computer main
keyboard and tap the appropriate arrow key for a 1 frame per tap nudge of the clip.
(b) highlight the clip, hold down the Shift+Alt key of the computer main
keyboard and tap the appropriate arrow key for a 5 frames per tap nudge of the clip.
Please review and consider. If questions or need clarification on the above, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

HOW CAN I MAKE A DVD FROM MY VIDEOS AND PHOTOS?

I have videos and photos in iphoto and want to make a presentation that will include photos intersperced with video. Is that possible? If so please advise. Not a high-tech kind of person

I've never done it with videos on iPhoto, so I'm not sure. You can certainly do it in iMovie.
Do you want it to play on a DVD player? If so, you'll need a DVD authoring program like iDVD. Older Macs shipped with iDVD, likely on a separate iLife '11 disk. Recently, Apple stopped bundling iDVD. If you have iDVD, once you finish the slideshow in either iPhoto or iMovie, Share it to iDVD. From there, you can pick a theme and add menus and such.

I use my camera for video and photos. When I download my videos to my ipad1 using the camera connection kit, they will not play on my ipad. Is there a way I can get them to play?

I use my camera for video and photos. When I download my videos to my ipad1 using the camera connection kit, they will not play.
Does anyone know how I can make this work?

Yvonne-
I haven't tried videos on my camera yet. Do you use the Videos App to play them? I don't think they will play in the Photos App.
If yours are in a format that is not in Vazandrew's list, you may need to sync them to your computer and convert them to M4V or MP4 format. You can use a program like HandBrake to do the conversion. <HandBrake> Once converted, you can sync them back to the iPad and they should play.
This may not meet your needs, but the alternative appears to be getting a different camera. I don't know of another Video App that might work.

Can computer expert retrieve deleted videos and photo from and iphone 4 which the photos and video are not sync before? is there any tools or software to retrieve it?

No, there are no gurantees. The capabilitty exists to retrive deleted data from an iPhone, but like many things in life it is not 100% successful all the time. Be careful, there are a lot of scam artists out there. They take your money & retrive nothing. This guy is one of the best in the business, but he does not work for people in the private sector. Perhaps he can recommend a service to you. But, as already pointed out, you're looking at thousands of dollars out of pocket whether these folks are successful or not:

I updated to the iOS 6 and lost all my videos and photos. How can I recover them?

I updated my I Pad 2 to the iOS 6.0 and lost my videos and photos, how can I get them back?

If you synced your photos and video to a computer (as you should do to store this data off a device), then you can sync them back to the device using itunes. Otherwise you are at the mercy of a backup, if you ever made one. Many users have lost photos and videos when performing a restore from icloud. You may be one of them. However if previously you used photo stream to sync photos to other devices, then you may still have them there. Turn on photo stream on the iPad 2 to get them back. Video, however, does not work on photo stream.

Transferring Videos and Photos to an email? There an App

How can I transfer my Videos and Photos without access to a computer or laptop? (Annoyed by buying imaginary space to make more space) With an IPhone and IPad.

I would like to get my videos and photos off my iphone 4 and in the cloud or on my computer

You should be importing them to your computer regularly as you would with an y digital camera.

How to store videos and photos in external storage

Hi,
May I know how do I store videos and photos into an external hard disk so that I can free up my Macbook storage?
Hope to receive advice on this.
Thanks
Stephen Lim

Hi Stephen
Yes there are problems with this
A. external Hard Disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to be used for VIDEO as KLAUS1 writes.
B. a FireWire or Thunderbolt one is better than USB/USB2 as they performs badly to me especially when filling up.
C. DO NEVER - move or alter any folders named
• iMovie Event's - or -
• iMovie Project's
on DeskTop/Finder as this will break the connection to iMovie
ONLY move Event's and Project's from within iMovie Application !
D. Then the BIG problem - as I have no answer to - Video and Photos in iPhoto or Aperture.
Moving them to an external hard disk - and at least MY iMovie can not see them any more - resulting in broken Project's - most probably beyond repair.
and here I run into the wall of ignorance
Yours Bengt W
