Are long video clips harder on Xserve Raid

I am considering capturing entire 30 min. tapes instead of shorter clips. Does length of captured video clips make any difference on how hard an xserve raid needs to work?

No. None whatsoever. You can capture to an Xserve RAID as fast as it will write until it gets about 80-85% full, and then it will start to slow because of physics (track density on the inside of the spindles is less than on the outside).

  • Please help me with this urgent viewing and editing question for a long video clip.

    Hi, I have never used this software before and when I imported a 2 hours and 12 minute video clip of my sister's wedding into the system and added it as one sequence into the program it would only allow me to watch and edit the first 2 minutes.
    Why is that and how can I rectify this so that I can watch and edit the whole clip?
    Also, can such a long video clip be edited by trimming it and creating transitions where I see fit?
    Thanks so much for your advice as I am feeling really stuck right now.

  • Exporting one section within a long video clip

    Hi. I would like to work with a 2 minute section from a long video clip. One way to do it would be to import just that section into iMovie from the camcorder. But is there any way to accomplish this with a clip that has already been imported? In other words, can I take a section of a clip in iMovie and save it as a separate clip (or sub clip) that could then be edited, copied, exported or whatever? I am using iMovie 3.
    Thanks.

    Hi Howard
    Yes there is some ways.
    I would cut up the clip to get the required part.
    Export this as DVstream via QuickTime expert mode - start a new iMovie project and import.
    OR rather beeing lazy. I would export out neede part to my Camera and a new tape.
    Use this tape in a new project

  • Long video clip challenge

    I have a video clip that has over two hundred animated
    elements, that I need to make selectable for the end user.
    Is there any other way other than creating 200 individual
    cast members, and then animating each cast members region to match
    the elements in the background video. The problem is that my video
    clip is 12 min long and in order to match the timing of the cast
    member to the appropriate part of the video, I'm having to extend
    the video sprite the entire length of the movie (about 21,000
    frames give or take a thousand), does anyone know of an easier way.
    By the way I'm using MPEG Advace extra with my MPEG 2 video file,
    for what it's worth.
    Thank you for any help,
    Devin

    With Mpeg Advance, you can save cuepoints wherever you want
    to have
    something sync up. Check the docs. There is a page about how
    to use
    them. I have used this to time external audio with the video
    that is
    playing.
    You should not even try to sync stuff to a video using score
    animation.
    That will play at different speeds on different machines.
    Just put
    the Mpeg Advance sprite in one frame with a 'go to the frame'
    frame
    script. Have a behavior script on the Mpeg Advance sprite
    that checks
    for mostRecentCuePoint or cuePassed.
    You could also use the currentTime property to sync stuff
    without using
    cue points.

  • Where are my video clips???

    I accidentally deleted my iMovie project file, thinking I no longer needed it. Where are the clips stored that I was using with that project? Does deleting the project also delete all those clips, making me have to record them from my camera again, or are they (like most video editing programs) stored elsewhere on my hard drive? Thanks!

    Hi Braden
    Sorry to say: The videoclips is stored inside the project
    icon not elsewhere.
    Start a new project (My phantastic movie)and store it on
    Your desktop. Close iMovie.
    Now ctrl-click on the project icon and select show package
    - in this there is a folder "Media" and in this clis belonging
    to this project is stored.
    alas. You have to re-import Your material into a new project.

  • How do I create a new event from a section of a long video clip

    When I try to select a section of a long clip and drag it to a new event in the iMovie event library, the whole clip moves into the new event.  Isn't there a way to just select and move a section to the new event?

    This does work, but the process is crushingly difficult for my mother. (Try to explain to a 60 year old that you need to reveal the clip in finder. Trim it, save it, trim it, save it, etc for each part of the video. Then re-import those clips into iMovie and delete the original large file from your events). This could have been accomplished with one keyboard shortcut or menu command.
    I'm opposed to creating projects to organize events because it doesn't make sense when creating a Christmas montage to open a project and look for a clip then find it in the events when you could otherwise just look through Christmas 1984 and pull the clip you want. It creates a dual paradigm.
    More than anything I want to attract Apple to this glaring flaw in their product. I can't see the downside of in-app splitting of events which was a feature of iMovie v9. Why remove it entirely? I know it's a rarely used feature, it could have been suitably hidden to avoid accidents. It wouldn't frustrate the average user, but it has confused the ever-living **** out of my mother.

  • How do I save a long video clip which I've split into two parts; save it as two seperate clips?

    What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Do you want to export these two clips from the same Timeline? If so, you can selectively export them.
    Two critical details for this...
    a. Set the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar to span just the segment that you want to export
    and
    b. Have a check mark next to the option Share Work Area Bar Only in the export settings. Not all export
    choices have this option. But, it is a must have for this select exporting.
    You can set the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar with keyboard shortcuts...
    Move the Timeline Indicator to the beginning of the segment to be exported. Then as you hold down the
    Alt key of the computer keyboard, hit the left bracket key [
    Move the Timeline Indicator to the end of the segment to be exported. Then as you hold down the
    Alt key of the computer keyboard, hit the right bracket key ]
    The following is a quick look at the gray tabs and the Work Area Bar to which I am referring.
    This screenshot is from a Premiere Elements version earlier than 11, but it conveys the concept of gray tabs and
    Work Area Bar in the Edit area as well as the option Share Work Area Bar Only in the export settings.
    Please le me know if you have any questions or need clarification on any of the above.
    Thank you.
    ATR
    Add On...I am strictly an Elements Windows user. The same principles should hold for Premiere Elements Mac.
    Not sure how the Alt will translate for match in this keyboard shortcut - Option or something else?

  • Xserve Raid not shutting down

    Hi, We are having a problem with our Xserve RAID, which is direct connected to our Powermac G5. When we shut down the computer, we generally turn off the RAID right after. Occasionally (like once every two weeks), when we go to turn the Raid off, it just will not turn off (No matter how long, or how many times we press the power button on the back). Is there some kind of fail safe, that won't let it turn off if something is going on within the RAID? What else could cause this?
    Thanks in advance for any help anyone could offer...

    I had this same problem in the past week. I couldn't get RAID admin to detect the unit and rebooting etc didn't work. What I did do was unmount the RAID itself from the desktop and then reboot; afterwards I could shut down the RAID unit from the system > shutdown menu.
    I should add that my RAID Admin tool didn't detect the unit until I unmounted it and rebooted, but after rebooting it did detect the unit fine.
    Of course this may not be the case with you- but it's worth a shot if you haven't already tried it.
    Good luck!

  • Need to find Xserve RAID version

    This is a pretty simple question, I know, but we are having trouble finding out what version of Xserve RAID we have here. It was seemingly purchased in late 2005 or early 2006, and we have only been using one side of the RAID and now want to populate the other with as much space as it will allow. I found a compatibility list at this link (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1219), but we are not sure what column our equipment falls under.

    There are several threads discussing which drives work out of the box - search the forums for the multiple threads about which drives work. The Seagate ST3750640A were the well documented 750s of choice but Seagate stopped making them a while (year and half?) ago and the competition for the remaining ones got fierce and the prices when very high if you could find them.
    Last I heard drives were still available through Apple service but I have no idea what the requirements are - eg Do they need to be replacement drives? - or prices.
    Sadly the death of PATA as a technology has severely hampered long term viability of the Xserve RAID. If you do find replacement drives be sure to balance the cost against the cost of a more modern system.
    Sorry - wish I had better news,

  • 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?

  • Sound with mgp digital camera video clips

    I cannot get the sound onto my ipod, the Video clips from my digital camera are fine and play fine, but no sound

    Hi bj1,
    First off, are these video clips in a compatible format for your iPod? They will have to be in either one of these formats:
    M4V, MP4, or MOV
    If it is in one of those formats, then let's proceed onto resetting your iPod. To reset an iPod:
    First, toggle your iPod's "Hold" switch back and forth a couple of times (make sure that you leave it on the white side of the switch, which is "Off")
    Then, press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for 5-10 seconds.
    You might need to try this several times before it ever ends up working for you.
    For more effect when you reset an iPod, you could try connecting your iPod to a power source, like a wall charger or your computer's USB, while you reset the iPod.
    If resetting doesn't seem to do anything, then I would suggest that you try reconverting these video files using a third-party program.
    For example, you could use MPEG Streamclip, which I have heard is good, and not buggy software.
    After you've converted those video files, delete the old ones off your iPod, and reload the video clips (the newly converted ones) onto your iPod again.
    Does it work now after trying that?

  • PS4 including Party audio in video clips

    I am wondering if anyone has the same issue as me and my friends where when you are recording video clips and everyone has their voices shared and party audio is include in the clip only my voice (or their voices on their end) are being included in the clip, if you know how to get this working the help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. 

    Hi Max:
    You can extract all of the original audio. It will show up on the second line of the timeline.
    Click on one of the extracted audio clips and Edit >'select All". Use the volume slider to mute all of the clips to "0".
    If they aren't already, you will need to split the audio where you want to hear it and go back to the volume slider and increase the volume there.
    Man, I'm not a very good teacher-hope you understood that one!

  • How to export many single video clips

    I have around 25 videos in my project window that I want exported. Originally they were longer and I changed the in and out points. I now want to have these corrected videos saved to a different location on my computer. I still want the long video clips, but want the short or corrected ones too.
    From what I understand, I would have to drag them individually to the sequence and render each one individually. I would rather not actually make a sequence with them all in one video but instead have them separate.
    Can anyone help me with this? Thanks for you time and effort.

    Here's what I would do....
    1) Drag all 25 clips to one sequence (5-10 seconds)
    2) Right click on each clip, one at a time, and choose Nest (2-3 minutes)
    3) Double-click on the first clip, which will open it's nested sequence on the timeline. Go to File>Export, then choose all your export settings and file-save location. Now click on Queue to start Adobe Media Encoder. After beginnig the export of the first clip, the export settings will remain the same for any clips you export after it, until you change the export settings again.
    4) Repeat Step 3 for each remaining clip, excepting that you will not need to do export settings and file-save location again.
    Total time: 15-20 minutes. Rendering time will vary.

  • Bluetooth File Transfer Problem with Video Clips -...

    Hello!
    I am posting this problem even though a similar one is claimed to be solved ...
    I have a similar Problem with BT video clip file transfer in my E5-00 as someone had earlier with music files (SW up to date). Except that in this case the files are unique video clips received from one of the latest Samsung Android phones via Bluetooth (don't ask me which format).
    Tried the obvious first, using Windows File Manager over USB. Even Windows Search could not locate the files, not even using wildcards.
    Also tried using Ovi Suite Syncronisation, but the files did not appear in either Photos/Videos or Messages (even though the files are in the SMS Inbox - does not make sense why). 
    The problem in applying the solution approach presented here for Music seems to be that the files cannot be played at all in my E5-00's. Therefore I don't get as far as to the menu where the E5 would ask whether or not the files should be saved or not.
    So far I have not been able to connect to an old bluetooth laptop (Windows XP) so that the Bluetooth Exchange would connect let alone seen whether the BTexchange works in this case or not.
    Is there any other chance of getting to the files through the directory structure? If so, please give me the (Windows) directory path? Any other advice than switching to Android?

    Unfortunately I have reached an impasse.  If I touch a video clip (in organizer) the system crashes.  I mean locked up cold. I'm not sure what has caused this but I do know that I will not be able to communicate correctly or sufficiently with you in order for you to help me out.
    I've found PS and Premier to be very difficult to work with.  Very, very frustrating.  Photography, both still and video, is not as enjoyable as it once was.
    Again, I very much appreciate your initial help and if I get to a point where I've improved my situation ... I'll reach out again.  Thanks

  • Rendering video clips.

    I have a long video clip(10min) out of sync (video is a little behind audio).
    I normally just move the video clip little to the right or left and
    problem is solved in realtime after a few attempts.
    Now I'm stuck in a render mode and don't know how I got there or to get out.
    As I grab the video only on the timeline to try and match it up to the audio
    I suddenly have to render (up to 20 minutes) to see if it worked.
    What changed in my settings to cause this?
    Going into this mode does happens from time to time
    and am not sure how or how it changes back to a no render mode.
    I hope this is clear.
    Thanks.
    Kevin

    Could be a few different things... but first, does your video match the sequence settings? Other questions would be like... do you have more than a few video clips in the timeline already? Everything else the same as before?
    I'd also try trashing your render cache for that project and rebuilding it.
