Can't shorten video length to match storyline

Having added syncronised clips (multi video and separate audio) of a live music performance into the storyline, I've edited as desired to select performance of a single song.
Despite trimming to have a video that lasts 3min 30s, the total video length is still showing as 1hr 5mins (full length of the syncronised clip).
This is preventing exporting to Youtube amoungst other things.
How can I set the end/length of the video to match the end of the storyline?

Thanks - I did wonder about a gap clip at the end but there is nothing there.
As an update - I've managed to resolve this now by creating a new project and adding the sync'd clip (which has all my edits in).
I'm not 100% sure what I did differently, but it's worked this time.
Next step is to see if I can extract a separate section (different song) of the sync's clip into a different project.

You mean music that the caller hears when they call you? You'll have to contact your carrier. That's a carrier feature, not a function of the phone.

Steps or path to revert to original file after Media Encoder has shortened video length by 15min

I was trying to encode the video to decrease the upload time and instead reduced video length by 15 minutes. I dont know how or what happened. after selecting encode. It seemed to do what it was supposed to and then upon viewing the movie i realized much of the import video is not there... I would appreciate any steps or measures i can try to rever to the original file. i have the original on an sd card but, even when i right click and play its the 5 min video instead of 20

What apps are you using to open the original file that you copies to your local drive (list all that you have tried? QT, VLC, WMP, PPro)?
You say original was 20 min and is now 5 min. I don't see how AME or other Adobe apps would have done this to original file.
I'm wondering if there was an issue with file before it came into AME and AME encoded what all the other media player are seeing which is only 5 minutes.
In Windows, if you right click on the file and get properties, how long does windows think it is?

Can't shorten video's in quicktime

Hello everyone,
Im trying to shorten my video in the new quicktime by pressing the button shorten,then i can shorten the video but i cant save it because the movie contains an incorrect time value.
Please help me.

QT does not play DVD movies natively. Apple does sell a mpeg2playbackcomponent that plays some DVDs but it has a number of limitations, including that it will not play mpeg-2 in transport stream format. It also will not play encrypted commercial DVD movies or sound that is in AC3 format. It does not export sound from mpeg2. Read the FAQ for the component here:

How can I shorten the length of my main URL bar so it doesn't hide Snoopy snoring?

I have assigned an animated Firefox Persona of Snoopy snoring on top of his doghouse and Woodstock on his tummy, however my URL address bar is hiding most of Snoopy and Woodstock completely. Is there a way to shorten this bar so I can actually see Woodstock?

The location bar and search bar have a flex property and take all available space.<br />
You can change the relative size of both with that resizer between the two bars, but that won't change the space that both take.<br />
You can add Space elements at the right of the bar in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to make the location bar shorter.
You can set a specific width of those bars if you add code to userChrome,css

Menu problems - changing background video length to fit audio

Hi,
I've been struggling for hours (feels like weeks!) trying to adjust the background video length to match the audio length on my encore menu to prevent the white screen appearing once the background video has finished.
Having read through some previous questions on here I see the general advice is to adjust the audio length to match the video length but is there really no way of doing it the other way around?
I tried editing the background video in premier pro, and managed to do that effectively so it was identical in length to the audio track, however then I couldn't work out how to export it back into encore so it would use it as a menu.
I'm still getting to grips with all the software so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!!
Liz

Hi jsbman,
Thanks for your reply, I'm not sure I was totally clear about what I am trying to do. Basically I have a menu image with background video that currently runs on a loop of 16 seconds, and I have an audio file (song) that lasts 3 minutes and also loops. I can put the audio on the menu fine as long as I have menu with no background video but if I try and have both it runs but then goes to a white menu screen after the 16 second loop while the audio continues to the end.
I understand from what I have read that the audio track and video background need to be the same length (I guess so they can loop together or something) and to edit the audio track down to 16 seconds makes it pretty pointless in using. This is why I have been trying to increase the background video to the same length as the audio track. They will then both loop until play is pressed on the remote for the DVD to start.
I forgot to say in my original post I am using CS4, with Windows 7 - I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
Any ideas welcome!
Thanks
Liz

I DRAG AND DROP A VIDEO CLIP FROM THE EVENT BROWSER THAT IS 7.9 SECONDS INTO MY IMOVIE I'VE STARTED AND IT CHANGES IN THE PROJECT TO 4.9 SECONDS - HOW CAN I KEEP THE LENGTH THE SAME

I drag a video clip from Event to Project into my imovie I've started. The video clip length changes from 7.9 seconds to 4.9 seconds. How can I stop that length from being changed?

If you are using transitions either side of the clip they will use some of the clip to generate the effect, there isn't anything you can do unless you remove or shorten the transition.
If you aren't using transitions it may be that you are only selecting part of the clip in the event window, try dragging out the yellow frame to include all the video you want in the project.

How can i shorten a video file.

Newby to Mac(pro osx 10.9), taking baby steps. I have some videos I want to shorten. Something not to complicated. I wanted to download perian so I can use in conjunction with quicktime but I saw that it was no longer going to be available. What options do I have left. Thanks guys.

Well, there is iMovie which should have been included with your Mac - it's a movie editor and reasonably easy to use. Then there is the free MPEG Streamclip which is a free video format converter, but you can also shorten a video with it (read the notes regarding the MPEG2 Playback Component on their website). So those are two free choices; Final Cut Pro has quite a learning curve - I'd suggest that if you're quite comfortable editing video.

Can I auto adjust the slide length to match my music length?

Can I auto adjust the slide length to match my music length?

There is no way to automatically do this, but if you have a calculator, you can figure it out.
If you are NTSC (USA), figure 30 frames per second. For PAL (Europe) figure 25 frames per second.
So here is an example in NTSC. Say your music is 3:31, this is equal to 211 seconds or 6330 frames.
If your slideshow has 155 slides, then each slide should last about 41 frames or 1 second and 11 frames.
You can change the duration of the slides to 1:11 and apply to all slides.
(Note: To edit at the frame level, go into iMovie Preferences and choose to display time as hhL:mm:ss:frames)

Can I remove the length restriction on YouTube videos? YouTube no longer has this restriction.

Can I remove the length restriction on YouTube videos? YouTube no longer has this restriction.

Welcome to the forum.
As John T. points out, PrE was written when YouTube had restrictions of 10 min., and then they added Extended Subscriptions, and then lifted Duration limits.
The instructions in that thread, to which John T. linked, will tell you how to Share/Publish from PrE, to then manually upload via your YouTube/Google account. I would guess that with PrE 12 (probably due in Oct. 2013?), the direct PrE to YouTube uploading will reflect the YouTube specifications - unless YouTube changes the game, after it is written.
I doubt that there will be an update for PrE, just to reflect changes in YouTube, based on the history of the limited PrE updates. IIRC, PrE 3.0 got an update for Windows Vista, which was released, just after PrE 3.0 was, and the 2 updates for PrE 8, that fixed some pretty major Bugs. I do not recall any other PrE updates.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can I download video from a Canon ZR30 video camera to my IMac. I bought Elgato Video Capture, but the connections do not match. There is no white female end in the camera. Also, the red and yellow connections are loose at the camera end.

How do I adjust [shorten] music length to fit slideshow?

Making a memorial slideshow, hoping to use several songs but need to shorten their length. Any suggestions? iPhoto support directs me to a page that does not include the info.
Thanks in advance.

I use music in all of my slideshows and always adjust it to my slides either by timing the individual slides or by using the third party application Amadeus to adjust the music, cutting out parts or pauses that I don't need or want. It can also slow down or speed up music without changing the pitch but I normally just edit the music itself to fit the projected length of the shows. That way I can match certain slides to particular phrases of the music and the effect is great that way. I've used Amadeus for years and find that I can't do without it, especially in my more intricate shows. I believe I paid about 40 dollars back when I got it but don't know the price now. Incidentally I use the Amadeus Pro version. Here's the developer's site:

Selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match the original file's type

I've been using Premiere Elements 9 for a couple of years now, and a few months ago I began having problems importing AVI files created from a BlackMagic Intensity Pro capture card. (These issues were not previously occurring, and since they surfaced, I have exhausted the various settings for the BlackMagic card, used various software such as BlackMagic's own Media Express as well as the freeware VirtualDub, and still have the following problems.)
In addition, these AVI files play just fine, in their entirety, using Windows Media Player and in Quicktime.
The problem (or possibly two, but I suspect they could be related) is that most of the AVI files I attempt to import will either (1) import all video and NO audio, or (2) import ONLY a short segment of audio and video, and the length that Elements imports varies. Usually only in the range of a minute or two. The rest of the file is not imported at all.
After much digging in forums, and testing various settings in trying to figure out the issue, I decided to back up all of my files and completely wipe all hard drives and start over with a fresh installation of Windows and Premiere Elements 9. I haven't installed much else yet, as I wanted to first find out if the reinstallation improved things with Elements.
For the first project I created in Elements after the reinstallation, Elements successfully imported an entire AVI that was nearly 2 hours long, audio and video. This was a file that previously would not import properly into Elements. This suggested that my earlier installation of Elements must have been corrupted somehow. At this point I was very hopeful that all was well.
I proceeded to edit the video as I had wanted, saved the project, and exported it to an MPEG format file. I had originally wanted to export it as an MOV, but I hadn't yet installed Quicktime, so Elements couldn't do that just yet. The MPEG export was successful and plays fine.
However, I then installed Quicktime, and once it was finished, I restarted the PC and reloaded the same project. This time, Elements claimed the media was offline. I double-clicked on a segment of the video, and directed Elements to the raw file, but then an error message popped up: "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match the original file's type (audio and video)." This was the same file I had JUST edited and of which I created an MPEG.
I tried creating a new project and the "Get Media" function to import the AVI again, but this time only the video imported with NO audio. (This would explain why the error message said what it did, but not why the audio wasn't imported.)
What in the world is going on with Elements??? I am baffled since the ONLY task I have done on this machine after a complete reinstallation of both Windows and Elements is edit one AVI. I find it very hard to believe that just installing Quicktime caused this.
Some info on my system:
System: Asus P6T w/ Intel i7 920 and 12 GB memory
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
Video Software: Premiere Elements 9
Capture Card: BlackMagic Intensity Pro (PCI-e)
Capture Software: AVIs recorded with either BlackMagic Media Express or VirtualDub (only prior to the reinstallation, as neither of these programs are currently installed)
I'm getting to the point with Elements that I might need to just abandon it and find something else that is more reliable. Anybody have suggestions to help with this, so I won't have to migrate?

We think that we need to start off with definiting the properties of these .avi files that you are importing into Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 (assumed that you are working for the required 9.0.1 Update).
You say that the "avi" was created from a "BlackMagic Intensity Pro capture card". What are the properties of this .avi that you imported into Premiere Elements? Not all .avi are created equal. What is the video and audio compression, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio, typical duration?
Based on the properties of the video what have you been setting as the project preset?
Let us start here.
More later.

I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program

HI All
I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to it's frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program .
I used IMAQ AVI Read Frame VI
for example I have avi video It's frame rate is 25 fbs ,my image processing code is very fast that can process more 25 fbs,so I want to accelerate video acquisition

Hi abdelhady,
I looked into this further, and reading an AVI file into LabVIEW faster than its frames per second won't be possible. LabVIEW could read in frames faster than 25fps, but because it will be pulling the available frame at that point in time this would just give you duplicate frames. If you want to be able to read in frames at faster than 25fps, you would need to speed up your AVI file before reading into LabVIEW.
There's a good shipping example to show how to read in from an AVI file, "Read AVI File.vi". You'll notice that they add timing to make sure that the while loop runs at the right speed to match up with the frames per second of the file being read. This is to make sure you're not reading duplicate frames.
Thank you,

I am utilizing imovie 7.1 and I am trying to shorten the length of a clip. How do I do that?

I am utilizing imovie 7.1 and I am trying to shorten the length of a clip. How do I do that?

There are several ways to do this.
First, drag the clip from your Event to an iMovie Project.
In the Project, there are several options:
1) Select the part of the clip you want to keep by dragging with your mouse. When you have it, right click within the selection and select "Trim to Selection". (You can also do this from the Edit Menu.)
2) Select the part of the clip you want to cut by dragging with your mouse. When you have it, right-click within the selection and choose "Delete Selection". You can also do this from the Edit Menu.
There is a good Tutorial here. http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/imovie08.html#trimming
