Can I use my PC to Optimize Video for iMovie?

I use a GoPro camera which creates mp4 files and I find it takes hours for iMovie to optimize 4hrs worth of files. I'd like to off-load some of the processing to my PC. Run it over-night. Whatever...
Is there any way to use the PC version of MPEG Streamclip to do this? I don't see the AIC codec in the export list on the PC. So I'm guessing that since it's not a compatible PC format, they intentionally left it off the list.
Any ideas, on how to leverage my available PC computing power, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in adavnce.

Well, I was trying to find a way to speed up the whole optimizing process by dividing the work load to many computers so that I could get to the editing process quicker. I suspect that MPEG Streamclip will convert at about the same speed as iMovie. Having said that, there might be a time advantage of using MPEG Streamclip by choosing selected clips vs doing the whole thing. The problem being, if you decide that you wanted a bit more of a clip from the original footage, you'd have to re-convert the whole clip. I'd have to weigh those options.
Either that or do all the conversions over night and do editing the next day.

Where is the optimize video for iMovie 10??

Hi,
I have HV20 HDV camcorder with bunch of older tapes. I had iMovie (8 or 9) before where I used to get specific options for importing the tapes.
For example, I could choose save location, add to or create new event, split days into new events, and optimize video.
Now under the new iMovie 10, I don't see most of the above options. And before you say use the older iMovie, I've looked under the application folder and I can't find the older iMovie folder.. Just the new version 10...
So I Need the:
1. Split days as new event
2. Optimize video option. (So that I can make sure I'm importing the maximum quality/ full/original size not a lower bit rate.) How do I know the new iMovie is importing the highest quality and not downsampling as the older iMovie had other bitrate options..
Please tell me where I can find the older iMovie 9 to download and install (again, I can't find it in my application folder), or tell me where I can find those options in the new versions.
Thank you

I agree but it's not there...
I know what it should do but the reality is something else at this point.
Any other suggestions?
Do you know if iMovie 10 just imports at the highest possible resolution? I don't know why iMovie 9 had the option and now the new one doesn't...

Can you use midi sounds when recording videos on Photobooth?

Can you use midi sounds when recording videos on Photobooth?
Basically, i like to record videos of me singing and playing guitar or keyboard, but to get a good sound for the keyboard I'd like to be able to record the audio using MIDI sounds...
Ive got Logic, I've got M-Audio Fast Track Pro, into which i have my mic, guitar, and keyboard midi plaugged into. I can use it to record the mic and guitar on photobooth as they are audio inputs, however i can't use the midi sounds on the keyboard :/ I have tried having logic open with the desired MIDI sound selected whilst recording but it doesnt work...
Is there ANY way this is possible?
HELP PLEASE!
Thanks!

What QT7 settings do I use to export a 1080p video for playback on iPhone4? I'm using the iPhone to playback 1080p video on 1080p monitor. Is this possible?

Does anyone know what settings I should use to export a 1080p video for playback on iPhone4? I'm hoping to use the iPhone4 to playback 1080p video on 1080p monitor. Is this possible?
I have previously saved my .mov file as Apple TV, but the quality is reduced from 1920x1080 to 960x540. I was unable to sync the higher quality file to my phone (and am worried this is the limitation of the hardware). I added this file to iTunes, added to a playlist, and sync'd to my iPhone. The playback works but the resolution is obviously a lower quality.Is it possible to keep the higher quality for playback through a 1920x1080 hd monitor? Otherwise, would I be able to sync a 1920x1080 mov file to a new iPad or other device? Thanks in advance to your answers.

No. Only the iPhone 4S, iPad3, and TV3 currently support 1080p30 content. Even then the 1080p30 playback support for your monitor may depend on how the device is connected. The iPhone 4 is limited to 720p30 playback.

Not on your current device. As previously stated, the latest generation of iPhone, iPad, and TV devices support a maximum 1080p30 playback capability but may be limited to lower resdolutions depending on your method of connection to your monitor. This information can be found on the Apple web site TechSpecs page for each respective device.

When I have bought music from i-Tunes am I free to use that music on my videos, for instance on YouTube or Facebook?

When I have bought music from i-Tunes am I free to use that music on my videos, for instance on YouTube or Facebook?

no you are certainly not allowed to use music in any way you want.
iTunes downloads give you permission to play the music for personal use only; see the extract from terms of use below.
To use published music for other purposes you would need to contact the publisher of the music direct and ask about obtaining a licence.
This can be very expensive! A few hundred £ / $
If this is for video production, a far easier and cheaper option is to use Production Music, such as MCPS:

Can you use SQL as a data source for a project in the same way you can in Excel?

Excel allows you to create a data source that executes a SQL stored procedure, display that data as a table in a spreadsheet and have that data automatically refresh each time you open the spreadsheet. Is it possible to do the same thing in MS Project, displaying
the data from the stored procedure as a series of tasks?
Here's what I'm trying to do - I have a stored procedure that pulls task data meeting a specific criteria from all projects in Project Server. We're currently displaying this data as an Excel report. However, the data includes start dates and durations so
it would be nice to be able to display it as a Gantt Chart. I've played around with creating a Gantt chart in Excel and have been able to do a very basic one, but it doesn’t quite fit our needs.

No, You can not use sql as a data source for a project.
You have 3 options to achieve it:
1. You can create a Sharepoint list with desired column ,fill desired data in that list then you can create a MS project from Sharepoint List.
2. You can create a SSRS report in which you can display grantt chart Joe has given you that link.
3. You can write a macro in MPP which will take data from your excel. In excel you will fetch data from your stored procedure. write a schedule which will run every day to update your data or
create an excel report in which will update automatically and write macro in mpp which will fetch the data then publish it so that it would be available to team members.

Multiple iphones each with an apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates?

We have two iphones each with a different apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates without risking having my apps overwritten. Basically does itunes keep the two iphones as two separate entities ? Does iTunes differentiate between the two devices and keep two different SYNCs ?

Yes, you can use the same computer for BACK UPS, RESTORING AND UPDATING. But that is it.
You cannot, however, use it to sync the different devices. iTunes will only recognize one device to sync with and if you sync any other devices with that iTunes library, it will replace what is on the phone with whatever is in the library. It cannot differentiate between devices. At most, it will jsut recognize that the phone has been synced with a different iTunes library.
So if you would like to use the same computer for backing up, restoring and updating, just make sure to turn of Automatic Syncing in your iTunes Preferences.

I have 2 iCloud accounts. Can I delete one account so I can make use of additional space I purchased for the secondary account? Also iPhoto seems to only connect to the primary account? How do I send files to the secondary account?

I have 2 iCloud accounts. Can I delete one account so I can make use of additional space I purchased for the secondary account? Also iPhoto seems to only connect to the primary account? How do I send files to the secondary account?

Both accounts are completely independent from each other. In order to use the space that you have purchased for your secondary account, you must change it to become your primary account. Yes, as you said, services like photo stream only work with the primary account. Unfortunately, there is no comfortable way to just transfer data from one account to another one, but you can do it via a third party application e.g. via Dropbox: e.g. for photos: photos stored with your current primary account > manual transfer to dropbox > after you made your secondary account to the primary account, transfer the photos back to your new primary account etc.

Hi,
<i> can i use thchnical system type 'third party' for R3 system. will the scenario work properly or not.</i>
--- No u can't use this...Ur technical system must be "WebAS ABAP" only. For file system you use 3rd party system. means ur technical system like follows.
sender
R/3 -- WebAs ABAP
Receiver
File - 3 rd pary system
<i>And some times some of the business systems in SLD are not visible in ID, when assigning business system in ID.can any one tell reason for this.</i>
Click "Clear SLD cache" repeatly for some time in ID, it will come.
