Add Video without Library Replacement??

I don't think this is possible, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
I have a large music and video collection on a G5 desktop that I use as my main iTunes collection. I sync my 5G iPod with that desktop. I also have a PowerBook G4 that I use for travel, that I keep a much smaller collection of tunes on just for syncing with a mini when I travel.
Here's my question. I'm on the road and would like to download last night's episode of "Lost" to watch on my 5g. Is there anyway to add the episode to the iPod without having to replace my entire library that is already on the iPod from my desktop?
Thanks

You can dissolve to a clip that's not on the primary storyline. You can also connect the clip and then overwrite it into the primary.
the add Video only feature is broken
How are you doing this? Insert will not wipe out what's in the timeline. Are you doing an overwrite from the browser? Don't. It overwrites, video and audio. The video and audio are a single track on the primary unless you detached the audio.

Add video without shift?

Weird.... I've been using FCPX for months, and after upgrading to 10.0.2, I can't seem to simply place a shot over top of other video without it shifting the entire timeline.
I have a talking head and want to dissolve to another shot. But when I add the shot (without audio) to the timeline, it shifts the audio as well, so after the shot, the audio is no longer in sync with the talking head. I don't want to use the Connect option because I need to dissolve to the shot, so it has to be in the primary storyline.
So how do I cover the talking head without shifting the timeline???

You can dissolve to a clip that's not on the primary storyline. You can also connect the clip and then overwrite it into the primary.

Can't Add Videos to Library

Greetings:
I've followed the instructions and I can no longer get video into my iTunes Library.
I reformatted them into mp4, tried navigating to them from Add to Library in the File menu, tried dragging and dropping, but nothing happens. I'm using the latest versions of both iTunes and iPod software. I even trashed iTunes and reinstalled it, but nothing happens.
I had put on a couple of videos when I first got my 5th gen., so I moved them onto my Mac and tried to add them to the iTunes Library and that didn't work either, so I didn't think it's a format problem. I do get the error message that the new videos were't moved because they won't play on my iPod, even though they're in the same format as the ones that do play (MPEG-4). The old files that do play are MPEG-4s but have the suffix m4v. I tried changing the new file suffixes but it didn't help.
Audio files go in fine.
Can anyone offer a solution?
Thanks...

I have the exact same problem. I have several episodes of a series in .avi format. I used Prism to convert them to .mp4 format (I've done this hundreds of times). For some reason iTunes only lets some of the videos into the library. The others just dont show up. iTunes doesnt say i CAN'T add them (i.e. when i try to drag and drop i get a little plus sign and not the restricted symbol), but none the less it won't actually add them. All the files were converted one after the other using the same conversion software, all in the same session.

TRYING to add videos to library, ARGGHH

I cannot seem to add DVD's ( that's a movie, right?) to my iPod classic.
I went through help;
Drag a file or folder from the Finder to the iTunes window.
If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
In iTunes, choose File > “Add to Library,” locate a file or folder, and then click Choose.
Nothing works, it doesn't grab it. And if I can't add it to the Library I can't go to:
Advanced; Create ipod or iphone version.
So ok, what type is the DVD? right click DVD it says UDF.
I downloaded Freestudio Video to ipod converter 4.2.13, it doesn't take it when I try to Add Files.....
I had made a copy to the desktop, one file, with two subfiles: Audio TS and VideoTS but it won't grab them to add.....
Any comments, this is driving me crazy!

iPods cannot play DVD files. See here for the video formats supported by iPod classic

Add video without embedding

Hi there. I have a very large Keynote presentation in which I'd like to place around 12 or so large video files. Each one is around 300mb and the resulting file size becomes huge and unmanageable if they are all embedded (about 5GB, just saving the file takes 5 mins or so.. not good). So instead I would like them to merely be 'linked' - that is, I'd like them in a folder along with the Keynote but not INSIDE the Keynote.
The thing is, that when i go into preferences and uncheck 'copy audio and moveis into document', the result is exactly the same as if the box is checked, even after deleting all the movies, restarting the program and trying again with the box unchecked - the filesize increases in direct proportion to the movies being added, even though they are not supposed to be embedded.
Is there something I'm missing? Is there another option that I haven't selected? Is there a problem with the format of the movies? They are all h.264 Quicktimes at 1920x1080, same resolution as the slideshow. I'm using the latest version of Keynote (9), on Snow Leopard.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

You have to choose from the very beginning whether you want to embed videos or not. To change this setting later, you need to create a brand new presentation, make sure embedding is turned off, select all the slides in the old presentation and drag them into the new. I believe it's better to delete the movie slides before doing this and add them back to the new presentation where they will only be linked, not embedded.

How can I add photos to a video without interrupting the sound of the original video?

In PE11, How can I add photos to a video without interrupting the sound of the original video?

RLHeflin
Thanks for getting your details posted. Good job.
You further explained
I am simply wanting to “overlay” a new visual element without disturbing the underlying audio.
A classical way to do a Premiere Elements Overlay is to hold down the Ctrl key of the computer main keyboard and drag the new clip over the area of the one you want to replace on the Timeline. That should not do anything but replace one portion of the video on the Timeline. No change in duration video or audio track if you are dealing with video linked to audio.
If you hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard, I am envising a scenario where you want to add to (not replace) some Timeline content.
A just in case note, if you have video on Video 1 and 2 and the video in 2 does not have transparent areas in it, then all you will see is the Video 2 content. I believe that Hunt eluded to that concept as a possible technique for what you might be doing.
Another just in case, if you have not seen the following Adobe documentation on arranging clips, you might be interested in the following link

Unable to add video files to Library

Hello, good evening.
(I don't even know how to start...)
I'm having some problems while trying to add video files to iTunes' library. No matter if I try to drag it in, or use the File > Add file to Library option, it just doesn't show up on the Video category (or any other category either). However, it adds music files and downloads podcasts perfectly. Also, everything in the library syncs to the iPod without problems, including the videos that were already there prior to the iTunes 6 to 7 update.
The video is already a .mp4, converted with the Videora iPod Converter. I'm using iTunes 7.0.1 on Windows XP. If other detail is needed to answer my question, just ask.
I guess this is it...
PC Windows XP

Wierd. When you say it doesn't show up in the Video category, you mean "movies" category, right? Because there is no "video" category.
I don't think iTunes would mistake it for a music file, and it probably wouldn't show up in TV shows (and I'm sure you already tried that), but did you check under Podcasts?
It doesn't give you an error message when you go to import? Can you play the file within windows?

How can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

how can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

Yes, you can add your own videos to iTunes, then sync them to your nano, subject to supported max resolution limit and file type. The specs for the 7th gen nano says (I don't know which nano model you have), Video Format Support
"H.264 video: 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Baseline, Main, and High-Profile level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 Mbps, 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats"
http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/specs.html
(earlier nanos have lower max resolution limits)
So, "HD" video is too high resolution, so iTunes will not sync such videos to the iPod (although they play in iTunes). If you are asking how to set up iTunes to sync videos in general (regardless of source), please post back.

How to add an image to an imovie 9.0.4 video without stopping the video or audio

I am creating a video in iMovie 9.0.4 and I would like to add images to my video without interrupting the audio. I read online about a Cutaway option but when I followed the directions I was not given an cutaway option. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!

Hi
Did You turn on Advanced Tools ?
First Choise possibly - Visa avancerade verktyg / Show advanced tools
TimeLine set to show ONE ROW of Clips.
Then take a photo (.jpg) and drop it ON TOP OF the Clip in TimeLine where You want it to be.
Now You should get a drop down Menu - Select Cutaway.
Done
in iMovie'13 (version 10.0.x) this is very different !
Yours Bengt W
