Cannot figure out how to select 'part' of footage to work on. Must be an answer.

You guys have always been helpful, that is for sure. I am just stumped and after watching more video tutorials than I can shake a stick at, I am throwing my hands up to ask question.
Say I have 90 seconds of footage in one shot. It is a DSLR shot. I want just five seconds of that footage to be warp stabilized. Just five seconds. The same five seconds used in my edit (in Premiere Pro CS5 timeline).
I have AE 5.5 installed as a trial. So I cannot open the piece of footage into AE.
So when I try and take the full original file/clip that piece of footage came from and open it into AE, I am unable to find a way to just select the footage I want to use Warp Stabilizer on.
Is this making sense? It wants to analye the entire file.
In Premiere Pro it is EASY to select footage. Piece of cake, right down to the frame.
No matter what I do, AE wants to analyze all 1 zillion frames from the entire DSLR footage. I just want to stabilize 5 seconds.
So I know I am an indiot. The answer is right there, but I cannot find it. I have worked two days trying to figure this out.
What I have been forced to do is export each little clip I want stabilized from Premiere Pro as an uncompressed file. God, what a nightmare.
Please, somebody point me to the answer. I beg of you.

This page should tell you how to do it.
Although, you should also be able to copy and paste the clip from Premiere into AE and it'll already be trimmed to how you want it.
Since you're just starting out with AE, I would highly recommend you go here and check out some of those resources to start you off on the basics.

  • I created a photo album on my iPhone 4s - edited photos etc. but I cannot figure out how to transfer it to my pc (using Windows 8).  The only folder in the iphone drive is the one which has the Camera roll photos :( Help please - I really need the photos!

    The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
    You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.  Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
    The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
    The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

  • I'm new to Mac and cannot figure out how to upload photo's from my iPhoto library to eBay for the purpose of selling. Can anyone help?

    I'm a seller on eBay and very new to Mac. I just started to list an item when I got to the area of uploading  pictures of an item to my listing. I cannot figure out how this is done. I downloaded pictures from my camera to iPhoto and they apear not only in my iPhoto library but in an eBay folder/album I created. When I go to upload photos I cannot find my photos in either the Library or the eBay album. I've tried using both the basic uploader and and standard uploader choices provided by eBay.

    While running iPhoto you'll need to select the pictures you want to use for eBay and then select Export from the File menu. The Export Dialog box has several options and I believe the second option is File Export - that's the option you want to choose. Now you can select the picture quality, size, and export. The file selector will appear so you can indicate the folder you want the pictures to be exported into. Now you can take the next step, sending them to eBay.

  • I purchased a book from itunes and cannot figure out how to get it on my ipod nano 7.  I cannot find an answer that works.

    I purchased an audio book from itunes and cannot figure out how to get it on my nano 7.  I have tried everything. 

    Have you double checked to make sure these Audiobooks are configured to sync to your iPod from under the iPod's Books configuration tab in iTunes?  This is assuming that the audiobooks are already stored in your iTunes library and appear under the Books category.
    To access this configuration tab, plug in your iPod and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to bring yourself to the iPod's Summary tab. Now locate the Books tab across the top in the main iTunes window and select it. Here you can configure what and how audiobooks are synced to the device.
    If you make any changes to this tab, make sure to hit the Apply button on in the lower right hand corner. This will sync the updated changes to your device.

    I rented a movie from ITunes yesterday and now I cannot figure out how to watch it on Apple TV.  I have done this before, and to watch it later on, I would go back under the "Movies" option, find the movie, and there would be a Play option available.  We did the update to Apple TV yesterday.  Now when I go back to the movie, I see the original options. Preview, Rent, Buy, etc.  When I click on Rent again, it says the movie has already been rented but not downloaded. It instructs me to go under Settings/Downloads/Check Downloads, but there is nothing under Settings about Downloads.  I found an option to Check for Rentals, but when I click on that option, it just keeps searching, with no results.  Any ideas?  This worked before the update, even though it took forever to download a movie....

    I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
    SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
    Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.

    I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format."  Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist".  Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

    Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion!  "you need to copy that file to your new computer..."  Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export.  Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)?  Copy it to and from a thumb drive?  But then place the file where?  And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)?  Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

    The first time I synced my iphone 4 with my mac, I didn't realize that all of my photos from the iphoto library would transfer over to the phone (more than 3,000).   Now, I need to remove some, as they are taking up too much space.  I cannot figure out how to remove them from the phone.  I tried to uncheck boxes and sync again, but I get a message that there is no room on the iphone.  I've read as many articles as I can find, but still cannot manage this.  Thanks for any help.

    Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync

  • I moved iTunes TV files from my PC to an external drive. I want to return them to my PC so I can watch during travel, but cannot figure out how to move them back. Can you help? Thanks in advance.

    I moved some iTunes TV shows from my PC hard drive to an external drive. I can watch them as long as the external drive is plugged in, but I now want to move them back to my PC to watch from the internal drive, but cannot figure out how to do it. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

    Is it just the TV Shows that you moved to the external, or did you consolidate all your media there?
    What is the current location of the media folder given under Edit > Preferences > Advanced?
    If the media folder is currently pointed to a folder on the internal drive you could select the files you want to copy, then right-click and select Consolidate Files from the pop-up menu. This will leave the originals behind. If you want to move specific files to a new media folder then my script ConsolidateByMoving can do this.

  • HT1386 I have an 80GB iPod that was purchased in 2007 and I cannot figure out how to sync it using the "newer" iTunes format.  Can anyone help?

    I have an older iPod (80GB) which I used to be able to sync, but now the iTunes format has changed and I cannot figure out how to sync it.  The tutorial showed a page that should pop up when the device is connected to my authorized PC, but that page does not appear.  Any suggestions?  I need to sync my device to transfer newer music.

    If you have a PC, Control S brings back that familiar side bar on the left side. That might help.  I'm also going to askt he hosts to relocated this post in the iPod forum. This is the iPad part and you may get more device specific info there.

  • I am a new iPad user and cannot figure out how to copy and paste from a website to pages. Any insight?

    I am a new iPad user. I cannot figure out how to copy and paste from a website to a pages document, and vice versa. Any ideas?

    Long press on the text you would like to select (tapping and holding) and then release after the magnifying glass shows up. This will select a single word. Then use the blue dots and drag them to select a region of test. Then press "copy". Open pages, and long press and release where you would like to paste. Then select "paste". That should paste the text.
    If the text doesn't select within the browser, it might be an uncopyable format. Like if the text was within an image, naturally you would be unable to select it. The only thing to do there is long press the image and selecting "save image", adding it to your camera roll. Then you could insert the image within pages.

    I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently.  And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing.  what am I missing?

    You can type the email using what you set in preferences and then highlight the text and use command - minus sign (or command - + for larger) to reduce the size of the text.
    You can also type command - T and a window will appear allowing you to select fonts/sizes/color/ background highlight.
    The above works in Notes also. I haven't tried to do this in any other Apple application.
    For incoming emails, you can use the above to reduce font size, but I don't know of a way to permanently set the incoming font size to a default.
