Add video clip to slideshow in LR3?

Can I add a video in .MOV format to a slideshow I create in Lightroom 3? If so, how do I do it?

Im pretty sure you'll need version 5 to achieve that.
Version 5 introduced ability to trim the timelines on videos. Adding to a slideshow is simply a matter of selecting like any other image in the slideshow panel.

Flash CMS - ability to add video clips

I have a client who would like to be able to add video clips
to their Flash site without having to get into and edit the Flash
file. Is this realistic, or should I stick to setting up a CMS for
them to edit text, and I just continue to add video clips for
them?

Hi there
Normally Captivate only understands the FLV format. You probably need to find a converter to convert the clips to FLV.
Cheers... Rick

Add video clips to library

Most camera shoot video clips now including some DSLRs. So add video clips to library and view video clips. I not talking about adding a new module but I would like to add those Point and shoot AVI files to the library and be able to view them.

After nearly two years of frustration both with LR itself and with the commentary posted by LR developers I am compelled to voice a certain question/complaint. Please understand that I have followed the requests and responses in this forum and elsewhere very closely since LR's inception (and earlier). My mind is very open to the various ways that different people work and the limitations of both current technology and development time. I understand that LR is a baby and will grow more and more useful over time as newer versions are produced.
I fail to clearly understand the purpose of LR.
After years of Adobe developing fragmented programs they decided to unify them within the Creative Suite. As newer versions of the CS have been developed, the way the individual programs interact has become more streamline. Unnecessary programs have been set aside and newer ones have been adapted to fit within the CS. Most recently the Macromedia product line, which first was loosely part of the CS family and now seems fully integrated with PS, Ai, ID and the others.
LR was purposely developed not to fit into the CS. Myself and others may not have fully understood the reasons for it but we accepted that LR promised to think outside the box - to bring a differnt way of thinking that was not subject to legacy workhabits. But with Jeff continually putting down the need for video and many other requested functions I doubt the legitimacy of the LR vision. To not allow photo & video to operate seamlessly together, even with limited functionality, completely lacks any foresight. Obviously video will be incorporated eventually, if for no other reason than we, the consumers, demand it. But to try and deny it is to deny the industry, the future.
My case in point is not RED or the Canon 5DM2, rather it is two of the programs within the newest iteration of Adobes own suite, CS4. The way InDesign files can be opened in Flash and manipulated there to allow for seamless publishing to the web. A few years ago most print publishers (and print software developers) may have balked at the suggestion that Quark or ID needed to "work well" with a web developer. But since all media (visual, motion, sound, database and web programming, animation, etc. see http://mediastorm.com/ for a taste of the future) are united it is hardly a stretch to ask Video and Still photography to live side by side - especially if they are created from the same device!
What's next, a phone that allows you to check your email, take photos & videos and surf the web?!
Why can't LR play nicely with everyone else? Maybe we need to start over.

Trying to add video clips

Hello, Im trying to add video clips, however when I publish the project the video does not show up. I tried avi, swf, flv. The avi's do not go in at all because it says it cannot convert it.

How do you add video clips to an iPhoto slideshow?

I've made a slideshow for my daughter's graduation. I tried to include a couple of video clips in it, but when the slideshow gets to the first one the screen goes black and the video doesn't play. How do I do this the correct way? I use iPhoto '11

Do the video clips play in iPhoto at all?
What theme for the slideshow are you using?
Where are the video clips from?
Are you using any transitions between slides particularly the video clip?
Have you tried putting the video clip in a slideshow by itself and see if it will play?

How-to add video clip to presentation?

How do I add a video clip to a Keynote '08 presentation? i drag and drop it and only get a black square on the page. Even though it's only a small square, when I view it in full screen mode the whole screen is black.
How do I add a video clip?

Well, it worked for me. I, however, used the Media browser. I don't know if you just grab a file from Finder and drop it in there. Although it should work, but I don't know why it doesn't. Also, what kind of file is it. Keynote supports a lot of video files but not every kind that exist. For me, I dropped a video that I made with friends from iMovie so its a QuickTime file. And I use the Media browser. Then I placed it at the centre. Then I pressed optionP to play the slideshow.

No audio in video clip in slideshow

How do I get the audio associated with a video clip to play in iPhoto? I have several clips taken on a digital camera--with audio--and have them imported into iPhoto. When I make a slideshow incorporating one or more of them, they play fine but with none of their own audio. How do I get their audio tracks to play in the slideshow? If I double click on any of the video clips separately before making a slideshow it opens Quicktime and plays the video and audio OK.

I am using iLife 2009 and do get audio clip associated with Video however it does seem to have some issues. Clips from one of my cameras (Sony - in avi format) work fine .. I can even choose an iTunes track or playlist and iPhoto blends the two.
However, I can not seem to get audio associated with clips from one of my other cameras - JVC (.MOD format converted to MPEG4).
The clips do have audio when played by itself in iPhoto however when I go to slide show mode, the audio disappears.
Still trying to troubleshoot ... will post if I am successful.

Add video clips to organizer without keeping video on hardrive

I would like to catalog my Mini DV tapes in Organizer (PSE4) without keeping the video on my hardrive. I know if I capture the video, add it to the organizer them burn to CD or DVD It will show the thumbnails as "offline" but I do not want to burn to CD/DVD, I just want to display the thumbnails in the organizer for each of my digital camcorder tapes.
Anyone know a way??

Mike
I am kind of "wildcarding" here as I don't work a lot with video, but the only idea I can think of would be to make a screen capture of one scene and then save that file to your hard drive. Clicking on this would only bring up this image, not the video itself. Option B-create one standard photo and just rename it for each video, kind of like a program icon.
Organizer works with an underlying MS Access database. It makes a link to where your photos are stored and then records any tags, collections or creations you make. If you don't have some kind of image to link to, Organizer will not create any records in this database.
Perhaps a folder called Video Links or something under your main picture folder would help keep all these pseudo pictures together.

Add video clip to an online grant application

I have been asked to help a friend add some video to an online grant application. Just wondering if anyone has done this?

I think this is wide open since it probably depends upon the format used for the grant application. You would have to provide that (i.e., a link to the application site) and somebody would have to explore it. The only definite way I could think would be to simply post the video on a web site and put a link into the application text. I would check the permissibility of that. My own experience with grant applications is National Science Foundation and they are pretty strict about putting in extras.

Is it possible to change multicam angle property? Or add video to what is seen as a audio angle?

I'm getting footage from overseas and first I was sent just the audio files, so I assumed i could just put the audio files into a multicam clip angle and started keywording and favoriting the new clip, which i did. Now I've received the video files. as per normal, I added an angle from the triangle drop-down menu, and tried adding the video but it won't let me. Using an "insert edit" I get a message "You are combining audio and video clips in an audio-only angle. You cannot add video clips to existing audio-only angles."
The issue seems to be that if the first angle you create only gets audio files added to it, and you then use that angle to add another angle from the triangle drop-down, it forces that new angle to be audio only, and it won't accept video. I've confirmed this with separate tests.
I could start the multicam clip from scratch and add a video clip first, but trying not to lose all the keywording work (which was a lot). There doesn't seem to be any way to change angle properties or to add a new angle that isn't audio-only by default.
any suggestions much appreciated

Just click on the little triangle in the Angle Editor and choose "Add Angle". Now drag your video clip into the new angle.
Synchronization, though, is another matter. All in all, you'll probably be better served by creating a new mulicam clip, by way of which you'll get everything properly synched.

Can I pin video clips to a soundtrack?

Hi. I am making a short video of a band recording music. Is there a way to pin video clips to parts of the sound track? For instance, if there is a short guitar solo, highlight and choose a few seconds of this and force it to play in a certain part of the track timeline? Then choose other sequences, place them into gaps and continue to build from there?
If not, is this type of work flow a feature of say Final Cut?
Thanks in advance. G.

In general, iMovie is video centric. You add video and it will adjoin the previous video or go between 2 previously added clips. Then you add the audio clips.
There is an important exception to this. It is called the beat marker feature.
You can add a music track. Then go to the the clip trimmer for the music track and add Beat Markers. Then you can add video clips that will snap to these beat markers. You must add the video clips in order.
Here is a good Tutorial on the Beat Marker Feature.
There is another way to do it if you do not know exactly which video clip you will choose for a certain location.
Under the Maps tab in iMovie 11, you will see some Placeholders. You can add these, and then later come back and add the real clip onto them. The real clip will be the same length as the placeholder.

Stop Video Clip From Looping

After creating an iDVD movie containing multiple video clips and slideshows, one of the video clips Loops (but only once) before proceeding to the following slide show. I don't want it to loop but don't know how to stop it. Because it only loops once then proceeds, I have a strange feeling that this is a strange quirk rather than an errant iDVD setting. Also, none of the other videos loop.

Setting movies and slideshows to loop
You can set slideshows, autoplay movies (which start to play immediately when a DVD is inserted into a player, before the DVD menu appears), and movies to repeat continuously, or “loop.” This means they begin replaying immediately after they end. If they include audio, the audio also loops.
Looping an autoplay movie is especially useful for creating self-playing presentations, such as those used in tradeshow kiosks. For more information, see Related Topics below.
In map view you can see at a glance which slideshows and movies are set to loop. A circular arrow symbol appears in the bottom-right corner of the icon.
Here are ways to turn looping on or off:
◼
Double-click a slideshow button on the DVD menu to open the slideshow editor. Click the Settings button and select the “Loop slideshow” checkbox.
◼
Select a slideshow icon in map view, and then press Command-I to open the Slideshow Info window. Select the “Loop Slideshow” checkbox, and then close the window.
◼
Click a movie or slideshow button on the DVD menu, or a movie, slideshow, or autoplay movie icon in map view, to select it, and then choose Advanced > Loop Movie or Loop Slideshow.
When looping is turned on, a checkmark appears next to the command in the menu. To turn off looping, select it again to remove the checkmark.
◼
To turn looping off for a background movie on a menu, open the Menu Info window. With your pointer over the menu (but with no buttons or text items selected), press Command-I. Move the Loop Duration slider to zero.
When you’re viewing the burned DVD, you can press the Menu button on the DVD remote control to exit from looping.

IPhoto able to make a slideshow that includes video clips?

I take a lot of video clips with my still camera which iPhoto organizes with my still pictures. When I select stills and movie clips to make a slideshow in iPhoto '06, it only puts the still pictures into the slideshow. So if I want to make a slideshow that includes video clips I have been spending much more time putting a slideshow together in iMovie HD. Not nearly as spontaneous as iPhoto does a stills-only slideshow.
Does iPhoto '08's built-in slideshow now play movie clips along with stills? That would be the 1 new feature I have been waiting for in each of the last few versions.

I've been experimenting and it looks like, no, you cannot add a movie to a slideshow with v7. You might like to check out PhotoPresenter which has iPhoto integration, and can do this with v6, though it needs an update for v7.
