HT4640 Adding a video clip to a keynote presentation - do I have to keep the original video on the camera roll?

I have several keynote presentations that are missing their video clips. Does the original video clip need to stay on the camera roll after you embed it in the presentation? I thought not, because when you add a video, a message comes up saying "compressing video" before it gets added. That made me think that a special compressed version of the original video is made and saved along with the presentation. I've tried testing this by creating a new presentation, adding a video clip to it and then deleting the original video from the camera roll and the video clip in the presentation was not affected. You'd think if the clip were linked to a presentation, that iOS would warn you before you delete it from the camera roll. But I can't think of any other reason why the clips would suddenly be missing from all my keynote presentations.

You can do this with iMovie '06, but not with iMovie '08. You should have iMovie '06 still on your hard disk if you upgraded from iLife '06, or you can download it for free from Apple. Under Editing -> Video Effects, you will find the Fast/Slow/Reverse effect that will do this.

I created my first movie using one long video (all photos) clip created in Keynote and imported to Imovie. I added many music clips, some overlapping. I now want to lay down a new updated video clip, eliminate the original but retain the audio. Can I?

find the info anywhere in help.

I would suggest that you go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that Advanced Tools are enabled.
Then, you can drag your new video clip on top of your old clip and a popup menu should appear. Choose REPLACE.

Adding filename in PDF form and inserting the filename as the subject when emailing the form

I have created a form in LiveCycle and have added 2 buttons - Save As and Submit by Email (created successfully thanks to the posts in this Forum). Can someone please advise how I can:
1. Add the file name to the PDF document when the Save As button is clicked.
2. Use the file name as the Subject when the user clicks the Submit by Email.
Thank you in advance for your help with this query.

Here is a sample for your save as request.
http://thelivecycle.blogspot.com/2009/11/save-form-to-specific-directories-and.html
To determine the file name and use it in the subject you can use for example:
var FileName = event.target.documentFileName;
event.target.mailDoc({
        bUI: false,
        cTo: [email protected],
        cSubject: FileName,
        cMsg: "Bla bla bla...",
        cSubmitAs: "PDF"

Adding swf (Captivate clips) into RoboHelp: flash controls don't work

Hi all,
I've added captivate swf project and ALL the flash controls (toc, play etc) don't work, though it plays continuously from the beginning. If I extract that page HTML code and play it separately, it works on all browsers. I render RoboHelp projects as MS HTML Help.
Are there any known issues with rendering flash clips in Microsoft HTML Help? it looks as it is using some weird embedded browser for swf.
any suggestions?
thanks

Hi again
Okay, this gets curiouser and curioser the more I look at it.
At first blush it appeared things were working. Then I tried the playback controls. Odd, the controls will allow a single click and they will carry out whatever function you clicked. But that seems to be it. Further clicks appear to be disallowed. I tested with a fresh Captivate movie as well as one that uses the Domain Lock Widget.
Wondering if this was an overall issue with SWF content in general or if it was simply tied to the Playback Controls, I then tried adding some button objects to each slide to allow the user to navigate from slide to slide. This seems to work.
I thought (hoped actually) that perhaps it was simply the default playback controls causing the issue. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be. I tried creating a SWF using the Aluminum controls. Same issue.
At this point I have to admit that I'm more than a little stumped. I'm surprised that I've not heard of this before or that others haven't reported it. However, I use Captivate files in my CHM files all the time. The main difference is that I never use playback controls in my movies. I am always using either Buttons or Click Boxes to navigate.
So being generally unsatisfied and poking it further, I seem to have found the culprit. I did the same thing in RoboHelp 7 and there wasn't an issue. What was different? I scrutinized the code and there was no difference. Hmmm
Then it hit me. The difference here was that where the Captivate playback control only functioned after the first click, the RoboHelp project was using Browse Sequences. So I edited the window definition and turned them off. BINGO! The Captivate works fine now.
I also tested using RoboHelp 7. Same issue there as well.
Definitely this should be reported to Adobe as a bug. Link is in my sig.
Cheers... Rick

New to Premiere Elements 9 - adding keywords to clips in timeline?

Hello to hopefully my new best friends
I am editing college football highlights. I have been using iMovie for about 3 years, but it lacks certain features that I was told (still hoping!) Premiere Elements 9 has. Anyway -- I am editing from full game videos from an external hard drive. I have imported an mp4 file (full game), dragged it to the timeline, and edited out the plays that I want to keep, then delete the rest of the footage. So, I have lots of short clips on my timeline. Before I begin the "real editing" or adding the transitions, effects, titles, etc., I would like to be able to "tag" each little clip with a keyword, such as "tackle, sack, interception, etc." - so that I can sort them easily. I see that you can add keyword tags in the "Organizer" - but that adds the tag to the "entire clip" - which in my case is a complete football game; not my edited clips. Is there any way to tag my edited clips in the timeline???
Thank you so much in advance for any help you can provide!
Kim

Kim,
I've not done this in PrE, so someone else will have to tell you where my process goes off, or exactly how to easily do it in PrE. In PrPro, I can do exactly as you have done, then create Sub-Clips from each of those segments in my Timeline. This will then place them into a Bin (like a folder that I create) in my Project Panel. I have the availability to use many different Columns there, and can even create them to suit. I can also order those Columns, so that say "Description" is the first Column visible, after the Clip/Sub-Clip's name. Some of the Columns, like Description, are text boxes, and I can easily fill them in with just the type of annotation, that you describe. When working on Projects, similar to yours, I will move Description to the head of the list, with Video Usage, and then Audio Usage next. Other attribute Columns follow along, and are ordered to my preferences.
Sorry that I am much less familiar with PrE, as most of my Projects there are rather simple. Still, I know that PrE offers one the ability to display several text Columns in Project Panel, so that part should work. I am just unsure of the Sub-Clips, so that you can easily see just what you have Cut.
Good luck, and I am sure that others will be along in a bit, and can point you to an exact workflow, that will get you what you want.
Hunt
BTW - by using single words in Descriptions, I can even Sort by that Column. Not sure where the alpha runs out - first letter of first word, or something else?
PS - Welcome to the forum!

Why is the Video Filter "Shift Fields" Automatically being added to my clips?

In the timeline, I've been noticing that FCP is randomly adding the "Shift Field" video filter to about 75% of all my clips in the timeline.
Is this common?
JS

I noticed that this Shift Field filter is going crazy if you copy footage from a sequence to another with different Field orders.
I don't think in my case FCP has ever wrongly applied the filter when I just was editing from the Viewer to the Canvas. Only when copying footage from sequence to sequence, I discoverd problems.
By the way. You can select all the 'faulty' clips and choose Conform to Sequence from the menu, and al should be right...
Rienk
Good points, all. Thanks for your contribution, Rienk.
"Conform to Sequence" is a function I have never used, did not know it even existed, thanks for that, too.

Program freezes when adding text to clip

Hi,
I have sent a 40 minute slideshow to PE7. I am splitting the slide show at various points and inserting short video clips. After having added text to both photos and video two or three times, I now find that the program freezes when I either try to add further text or even if I try to edit previously inserted text.
Has anyone a solution to this please?
Thanks
Jim
P.S. the reason I am adding video to the slide show and not the other way around is that I like the pan and zoom facility of the slide show which is not available as a transition in PE7.
Apparently I cannot add video clips to slide shows in PSE 7 - or at least not more than 5 seconds of video at a time.

Hi, Thanks for you reply.
The photos are between 1 to 3 MB each if thats any help, My Sony Handycam was set to 16:9 format but I can't select this in Project preferences which seems fixed at 4:3. The point is that I have used photos of this size in a project containing both photos and video previously without problems. I have not tried to splice video footage into an imported slide show before.
I will investigate further later.
Thanks again
Jim

Adding multiples to clips in Prelude from a Adobe Story file.

I am organizing, commenting, adding metadata and other general functions to my footage that Prelude wonderfully executes. I also have a script written in Adobe Story that I have opened in Prelude to add scene info and dialogue from there. Everything is working great except when I try to drag multiple items from the Adobe Script window to the clips.
I have a basic script that appears this way in my Story Window in Prelude,
Scene No    |              Scene
1.                     INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT
2.                     INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
3                      INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT
4.                     INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
etc, etc.
The general issue is that most of my footage from the BEDROOM and LIVING room scene were shot in long takes using dialoque from the multiple 'scene numbers' that story has them broken into. So when I try to drag Scene No 4 - INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT scene onto the clip that already has a Scene No 2 - INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT they just overwrite one another.
Is this an issue I need to solve in Story so all of the same scene is not broken down into multiple scene numbers? Or is it an issue that can be solved in Prelude.
Thank you for any help or advice.

Hi,
Thank you for your post.
Currently Prelude as well as Premiere pro doesn't support applying multiple scenes to one clip, so the new applied scene will overwrite the previous one. For now, please consolidate the scenes in Story. In the meantime, you can send the feature request via http://adobe.com/go/wish .

Ada

Pointer when adding audio to clip

When adding audio/music to a clip (not background) it sits below the clip with a small arrow/pointer pointing to the clip. What does that pointer indicate? Why does it move? Can someone point me to resourcs that explain that in detail?
Thanks

I think you are right that the marker "stays". I don't have any special insight to how this was coded by Apple, but it appears to me that you initially attach the audio to a certain frame in a certain clip. Later you can drag the audio forward or backward, and it may remain attached to the initial frame, but be given an offset. For example, the audio is attached to frame five of clip three, but the audio actually begins at -30 or 30 frames to the left of the anchor frame.
I think if you experimented with it, you might find that if you delete the clip with the anchor frame, the audio is deleted, too, but I don't have time to test this right now.

Javascript needed for adding filenames to MULITPLE pdfs - thanks

Hi there,
Im familiar with batch processing and i’ve found some information on the filenames, but I cant really get this to work. I have multiple PDFs and i’d like to add the file name of each PDF to the bottom of each page for our printer. I know this requires javascript, and so far the only code that i was able to get work, was an actually javascript file that i inserted into the adobe folder creating a new button to “print with file name” this was great, but didn’t help with my batch of files.
Thank you.

And what code are you using?
The code beside adding the button should have code to add a filed to the PDF pages and add the 'WillPrint" action. I have found some of this code is best done by using a function to perform the adding of a field and setting the will print action.

Using photos and after adding transitions the clip length changes

I am making a movie on imovie 11 and as I am adding transitions and music each time I add or change the clip duration changes. I have it set at a particular time but it changes regardless. I keep having to change durations of transitions and photo clips in order to bring it back.

Try this...
Click EDIT/TRANSITION OVERLAP
FULL will borrow frames from the photos to make the transition. The project gets shorter.
HALF will add frames to the transition so that the project stays the same overall length.

Difference - Background music AND an audio music track added to a clip ?

Working on a iMovie 08 project, just curious, what's the difference between:
A. A soundtrack dragged from Media Browser/iTunes and dropped to the background canvas (project viewer) of a movie (resulting in a green/purple background) AND
B. The same soundtrack added to the movie clips (as an audio track)?
I see that in both cases I can have the music start at a particular point of video. I can "pin" the audio to a particular place in the video (in the case of background music track) or simply move the horizontal audio track icon to any point of a movie clip (in the case of music being added as an audio track). So just curious if there are other considerations to this?
Is there an advantage of one over the other?
When exporting to iDVD are there any performance considerations/differences between the two?
Thanks for the help in advance!

Is the clip held in finder, iTunes, or in the iMovie/iLife clips section?

Adding transitions reduce clip size

After I edit clips in the event library, I add them to a new project. Next, I add transitions between each clip. I've noticed that the timing of the clip is reduced when a transition is added. How can I retain the size of the clip or add transitions that don't cut clips I've edited to the exact size I want?
Thanks, John

Transitions in iMovie have always shortened each clip by half the duration of the transition.
In earlier versions - up to and including iM HD 6 - the two transitions ..hmm; I've forgotten their names now, but they involved a freeze-frame ..ah; one of them was called "Overlap" ..maybe it was just that one ..anyway, "Overlap" did NOT "eat into" the clips it was attached to.
The way to work round this is to decide in advance what duration of transition you want to apply ..let's say one second ..and then make the clips either side of it half that duration longer ..e.g; each half a second longer than necessary. Those two extra half-seconds will then be "eaten away" by the transition.
In versions up to and including iMHD6 the total length of the edited movie would be eaten away by the combined duration of all transitions applied ..I haven't tested to see if this is true in iM'09.
Applying transitions after adding synchronised music to clips is therefore a "no-no", as the music will goes out of sync when transitions have been applied.

Adding identifiers to clips

I am going to preview a bunch of video clips with my partner and I need a label or some identifier for each clip. Is there an easy way to include say the log note, file name, or some other identifier on the time line so that is shows up? I am going to export the sequence for viewing off line. We need to be able to quickly identify the clips we want to keep while previewing on say my iPad or laptop.
This can be as simple as a sequential number for each clip, the clips file name, log note or whatever. There are hundreds of clips so putting in text manually would be very time consuming.

Hi -
One solution to do what you want:
http://www.spherico.com/filmtools/tcrPlus/index.html
You need to follow their workflow, *which is a round trip export/import via XML to make it work:*
Lay all the clips on to a single track timeline - you can do this by selecting them all in the browser and dragging them as a group to the timeline
Apply the TCR plus filter to the first clip, configure the filter as to how you want the display to look, what data you want to display
copy that configured filter, and paste on to the rest of the clips in the timeline via Paste Attributes
Export an XML of your timeline
Run the exported XML through a little app that comes with the plug in
Import that modified XML back into your project, and all the clip names (or what ever other data you selected) are visually added automatically. Now just output the labled sequence as a QT movie and compress for use on your iPad etc,
You can try it out with a download that is restricted to 20 clips.
The full version was, I think, 45 Euro. I think you save that in time the first time you use it.
I have had this/used this for a couple of years, not sure if there is anything else on the market that will do what you want.
Just did a test roundtrip so can verify it is working on FCP 7.03 and OSX 10.6.7
Hope this helps.
