Cannot trim or edit a movie created with a Sony Cybershot DSC-T200 camera?

Hi there people. I've created some mpeg movies using my Sony Cybershot DSC-T200 then copied them onto my Imac. I want to trim the start and end of the movie which i know is possible within Quicktime as i've done it with other video formats from other sources and you just drag the selection markers on the playback bar to the desired points then re-save. However when i open the mpegs in Quicktime created with the Sony camera, the in and out selection markers are not there? Can somebody help me with this situation as it's driving me nuts. I have the full Quicktime Pro version too so know that's not an issue.
I've exported the mpeg as an Mp4 as a test and it then lets me edit but i'm losing video quality. I've also got a program called MPEG streamclip which lets me clip the mpeg but still getting the quality loss.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Multiplexed compression formats have never been "fully" supported by QT. And, as a result of a number of recent updates, many of the "contextual" features are now correctly turned off when they should be turned off while others "partially" work even when they shouldn't. When dealing with multiplexed files, you should use an MPEG-based, third-party application like MPEG Streamclip to ensure all features are properly functioning.

If you use the "Save As..." option to save your files after trimming, there should be absolutely no loss in quality since there is no re-compression of the data. (I.e., the trimmed data is simply copied to a new file container.) On the other hand, if you are exporting the data after trimming, then there is always an opportunity for a loss in visual quality -- especially if you use a lower data rate than your source in order to create smaller files. In this case your are actually "throwing away" data which is what causes your loss in quality.

  • Some pictures not available to edit in movie created with stills

    some pictures seem to be "behind" other pictures. this has something to do with adding transitions as i found when i deleted a particular slide; others would appear. now i have a particular slide i want to remove but it is located behind another slide. is there a way to pull that one forward without deleting the transition?
    in the timeline view i can move the indexer along the timeline until right in the middle of the slide, another slide will appear on the preview screen.
    all slides work well when the entire show runs.

    Everything goes according to plan, until I try to 'open' into iMovie.
    You must IMPORT it into imovie.
    Once in iMovie, you can do your edits. If it's one series of clips it will come in as one movie.

  • Uploading sony cybershot DSC-T7 movie clips into iMovie

    I can import the movie clips from my Sony Cybershot DSC-T7 into iPhoto, and I can play the movies on my Mac. I can move still photos from that camera successfully into iMovie. That's the good news.
    But every time I try to move a movie clip from my Sony Cybershot DSC-T7 into the area to create a new project, I get the RED flag.
    I even went to an Apple store where they had a session on iMovie to sort it out. The Apple person guessed my inablity to import movie clips from the Sony camera was because my Sony doesn't have the right movie format. Apparently the only kinds of files that iMovie works with are MPEG-4, DV, or .mov files.
    What movie format does the Sony Cybershot DSC-T7? If I can successfully hook up the camera via USB port, and can play the movie clips on my Mac, why can't I import them into iMovie?
    My current backup measure is to take pictures while my movie clips are running, using the Apple-Shift-3 keys to create stills. But, hey, I want to work with the video stream!
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    What movie format does the Sony Cybershot DSC-T7?
    MPEG VX. If I remember correctly, this is a full-frame (VGA) of MPEG-1 with up to 30 fps in fine setting. Muxed formats (like MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VOD, TOD, MOD, FLASH, etc.) are not editable at the frame level and must be converted to a compression format that contain synchronized instances (i.e., frames) of audio and video data.
    If I can successfully hook up the camera via USB port, and can play the movie clips on my Mac, why can't I import them into iMovie?
    There are basically three levels of QT support for video files:
    1) PLAYBACK ONLY -- these files can be played back by QT applications but cannot be converted or edited.
    2) CONVERSION COMPATIBLE -- These files with play in QT applications and can be converted to "Fully" compatible QT compression formats but cannot be edited at the frame level.
    3) FULLY COMPATIBLE -- these files can be played, converted, and edited by QT applications.
    Your video files are "Playback Only." If converted by a QT Application (like iMovie '06 or iTunes), they will lose their audio. They can, however, be converted to iMovie '08 import/edit compatible files by MPEG-based, third-party applications like MPEG Streamclip (free), iSquint (free), FFmpegX (donation ware), Visual Hub (pay ware), etc.

  • I am unable to edit a form created with LiveCycle version 8.5 with LiveCycle Version ES1.

    I am trying to edit a form created with LiveCycle version 8.08.2073 (installed with Adobe Pro 8).  I am using LiveCycle version ES (installed with Adobe Pro 9).  I can open the fhe form, but the tools are greyed out.  It apears the file is locked for editing, but I cannot determine where/how to unlock it.

    You should try to start in safe mode which runs a file check. You hold the shift key down during a start up till there is a progress bar towards thr bottom of the screen. This start will take a longer time than normal. In safe mode try the functioins you are having problems with to see if there is an improvement. Some links below to read.

  • "The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created with a newer version of iTunes".

    My computer is reading "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created with a newer version of iTunes." I need help ASAP! Did I lose all my music? 

    Unless you deliberately downgraded iTunes this may be a sign of a corrupt library. SeeEmpty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

  • I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form create with adobe 8.0, the message is this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

    I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form created with adobe 8.0. The message is: this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

    If the form was created using LCD then it can only be edited there. This
    application used to be bundled with Acrobat Pro, but that's no longer the
    case. So if you want to edit this file then you need to purchase it, yes.

    Hello, Stephen.
    Thank you for the question.  You will need to rebuild your iTunes library file in order to open an older version of iTunes.  Below, I have included the article that walks you through this process.  Start with the section labeled Re-creating the iTunes Library file.

  • I cannot get Digital Editions to see and authorize my sony reader PRS-600

    I cannot get Digital Editions to see and authorize my sony reader PRS-600.  I am running windows Vista.  I am registered and my PC is authorized, but I cannot get DE to authorize my reader.  Any ideas?

    Hi
    Thank you so much to Reg for his answer to the above subject. I have been reading
    / searching / reading at both Adobe sites, Sony sites, library sites etc. for almos
    t one month to find a solution to this problem.
    I couldn't imagine that we had bought a device (Sony 650 Touch) that did not hold the correct software nor the correct manual. Unbelievable.
    To those who come after me... go to THIS SITE http://ebookstore.sony.com/download/
    and download the application for PC (top left) orMAC (top right). It takes time, but it works !
    I'm just so happy now !!

  • Why can't I import a .mov created with QT screen recording into FCX?

    I created a .mov file with QuickTime's Screen Recording mode. The movie thus created opens in the QuickTime Player and plays fine, but when I try to import it into FCX's editor with File>Import, I get an error message: "File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown".
    Why can't I import this .mov to edit it in FCX?
    Thanks,
    George

    Bengt, I believe the OP's "FCX" does mean FCE.
    Like Al said, they need to be transcoded (say, to AIC) in something like MPEG Streamclip, QT Pro  or Compressor.
    Actually, FCP X will happily open them.

  • Editing a webpage created with Frontpage

    Is there any software available that will allow my mac to edit and continue working with a html website that was originally created with Microsoft Frontpage? This is the only part of my ex-windows based past that I haven't been able to fully switch to my Mac!

    Give me an example of a software program that will let me open and edit a page previously created with Frontpage. I have attempted with Rapid Weaver. Thanks for your help!!

  • Editing a form created with trial version of XI

    I have some forms that I have created with the trial version of Adobe XI and now I need to edit them. I keep getting an error that says the file is restricted and asks me to save a copy that is not restricted. When I save the copy, it won't let me edit that copy either.... HELP!!!!

    Pay close attention to the saving process. When you save a copy, it makes a NEW COPY of the file, and leaves you with the old file open. You therefore have to CLOSE the file you have open, and OPEN THE COPY.
    In general, be sure to save PDF files BEFORE adding the special rights, because you sometimes can't go back at all.

  • Editing a site created with Iweb - with another program

    Hello,
    I built a website for a friend and he wants to be able to make small changes on it from time to time and I downloaded a WYSIWYG editor and none of them are compatible with sites created with Iweb...
    Does anyone have any suggestions? He runs a windows machine.
    Thank you so much!!!

    Well, not really. A lot of people have their sites built for them and then, with a little guidance, can change out photos, or do a little editing here and there. So your idea certainly has merit.
    The problem is, iWeb is a unique html generator. It stores everything you create in the application in a single file, (Domain.sites2), and only the application itself can open this file for editing. iWeb doesn't even create the html until you publish the site, either to a folder or to an Apple server. iWeb also changes many things into .png files--including text--believe it or not, in a well intentioned effort to cross platform better with other browser applications. So even simple text editors, which would normally be fine for changing small things in most websites, will struggle.
    Your idea was a good one; it is iWeb that isn't a good candidate for it.
    You must therefore now convince this person to become an Apnewbie, and buy a Mac!

  • When I synced my iPad with my laptop it did not transfer 3 videos I took with my Sony Cybershot camera. Why?

    When I synced my iPad with my laptop, it did not transfer three videos I recorded on my Sony Cybershot camera. Why didn't it do this?

    I responded to your first post and assumed that you didn't have a computer. If I was wrong, I apologize for misreading your question.
    Did you totally erase the device and not restore from a backup? If you totally erased the device and set up as new, the passcode should not be on the device.
