CHARGING FOR MUSIC VIDEOS NOW!?!?

One of my favorite features about the iTunes music store was that I could go in and watch videos at my leisure...no more sitting around waiting for whatever I want to see...
I was so pi$$ed off when I went to the store today and saw that they are now charging for what used to be free!
Apple has just been getting greedier and greedier...asking for more money at every turn and spending a lot less time in development before they release things (i.e. things often don't work).
I'm pretty sure that the artist and directors of these videos won't be seeing a dime either...score another dollar for the corporate suits.

Trust that artist's unions/representatives will get them a slice of the pie... maybe a small slice, but a slice.
I was dissapointed to find videos weren't free either, but realizing they were going to sell them had me mentally preparing for my post announcement visit to the music store. Why give away what you're now selling.
It is really a matter of expanding the business model. If they were to add more TV shows and movies down the line, we'd all love to get a few. Here, we got used to a free thing first.

Iso, Shutter Speed, Aperture, White balance for music videos or film?

Hello everyone. I just started making music videos. I just want some tips or can someone direct me to a good guide for music videos. I know the basics of iso, shutter speed, and aperture already. I read some guides and so far I know I gotta put my shutter at 1/50 or if i'm recording something at high speed, i increase it. is it so? Also, I always put my aperture at the lowest. I have a Canon T2i and Canon lenses 50 f/1.8 and kit lens. I always put my aperture at the lowest 3.5(kit lens) or 1.8. The tricky part is the ISO. I don't know where to put my ISO. I know the lowest ISO is good but sometimes the video looks dark. Do I fix this in video editing programs? Like should I always stay at ISO 100? What about white balance? I use Final Cut 7.
Also, what about during the day and night? Indoors? etc I also have a cheap LED lights.

your questions are about the very basics of photography.
I would consider to buy a book, which explains photography 'from the ground' ("... for dummies.." not meant as an offence!)
in short:
a scenery offers a defined amount of light.
Your cameras 'film' aka sensor, needs a defined amount of light to deliver a picture.
So, on recoprding, you have to control the amount of light, and the controls are:
aperture - opened or closed
shutter - shorter or longer
speed (ISO) - higher or lower.
Imagine the light as a stream of tiny balls, coming from your scenery: a bigger hole = aperture lets more balls into the cam. A shorter shutter speed reduces the amount of balls. And a higher ISO catches more balls than a lower. ..
Understanding that, you realize that those parameters are crosswise-related: an open aperture + a shorter shutter speed results in the same amount of light on the sensor as a closed aperture and a longer shutter speed.
If the amount of light is still too much, lower the sensitivity = ISO.
If the amount of light is too little, open the aperture, or use a longer shutter speed or raise the sensitivity.
When you set one or two parameters in this equation, you have to adjust the other ones: Video-makers start with the shutter speed, usually set to 1/2 of frame-rate = 1/50 - 1/60 - why? Because it allows a nice looking 'smear' aka motion-blur aka 'film look'.
Now, with a given speed, you can conrtol teh amount of light for the sensor only by aparture; and when you reach limits, by setting ISO.
When you understood this BY PRACTICING, you're next step is the concept of 'shallow focus'/depth of field. And when you understood this BY PRACTICING, you'll will understand the need of Neutral Densitity Filters for movie-makers...
But first things first: buy a book; read your cam's amnual; practice the settings and watch carefully the different results, diff. settings result.
... and it's really just about basics - independently of your device and/or your software.
None of the things mentioned above can be done or 'fixed' in post... (basically...)
happy movie making!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
and maybe:
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Will my phone carrier be charged for streaming video on a wifi only ipad?

If you are using your phone as a hotspot for you to connect your iPad to for streaming then YOU will be charged for data... not your carrier.

My ipad identifies my charging cable as not recognized, although it was bought at the same store, at the same time as the ipad. It charged for awhile, but now won't turn on or even charge. Any ideas?

I still have all the packaging and receipt as proof. Any ideas why? Purchase was over a year ago, so I can't get Apple help on the phone.

Try moving and wiggle the devise if that works the port or the tip of the charger is Brocken if the wire is an apple chatter made by Apple it should not I give your problems I've it in a forren ore different manufacturer that could be the problem apple suggest all apples devises should all ways charges and sync with an apple manufactured charger for the best proformance don't try other doggy chargers made from other manufactures.
Hope this works

I had a friend airdrop a video to me last week from her iPhone and I saw it on my iPhone after the upload was complete. I'm looking for the video now and can't find it anywhere on my phone. Where is it and/or is it stored on my phone?

Smart Playlist for Music Videos

I've fought and fought with iTunes and I cannot figure out how to make a Smart Playlist that JUST HAS MUSIC videos.
I'd like to have a list that just has my music videos in it, but I want it to be a smart playlist so I do not have to keep updating it.
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
mike

I'm think you may be misunderstanding what I'm suggesting. I'm don't mean the "video kind" in the Options panel of the Get Info window. I mean the "Kind" located in the Summary panel.
Each file in iTunes has a "Kind" designation. For example music you buy from the iTMS is Kind: Protected AAC Audio File; the video's I got when I purchased Neil Young's latest album are Kind: QuickTime Move File. The pilot episode of Conviction I download is Kind: Protected MPEG-4 Video File. I suspect this last one is what kind of files the music video's are. To find out:
1. Click a video.
2. Pull down File > Get Info (Apple+I on the keyboard).
3. Click the Summary tab if it is not already selected (Apple+1 on the keyboard).
4. See what "Kind" of file it is by looking at the top of the left-hand column.
5. Click the OK button.
Now that you know that is it time to create the Smart Playlist.
1. Pull down File > New Smart Playlist (AppleOptionN on the keyboard).
2. Make the appropriate menu selections so the criteria are "Kind IS Protected MPEG-4 video file." If your videos are more than one "Kind" repeat this step as necessary.
3. Click OK.
4 Give the playlist whatever name you want to give it. All your music videos will now be in this one playlist.
However, since you want just music video's in the playlist you may still have to "do something" to make sure the TV shows don't show up in the playlist. For example you could put "tv show" in the comments of those files and have the playlist exclude that criteria.
In general Smart Playlists can only work on the data that is in the Summary panel, and the Info panel.

Why does Skype charge for group video calls?

Yes, this is a rant.
Yes, I hold little hope of receiving a meaningful response.
These being said, I hope that if more people point out the absurdity of charging for a feature currently freely available from a major competitor (one would hope Goggle shows as such on Skype's radar?), who knows, Somebody at Microsoft/Skype will slap they forehead at the sudden realization that they are losing market share that will be very hard (if not impossible) to regain.
I can already hear the arguments against making this (and other features, such as US/Canada calls) free going on incessantly about lost revenue and the next quarter results - I've used to work for a behemoth and that's how they die: never considering loss of customer good will, bad reputation and the resulting inevitable mass migration to competitor's solution in response to the company's obvious ineptitude. It never seems to dawn on them that losing some revenue now means living to fight another day.
Oh well, the battle between the giants was interesting to watch - until I've realized that one of the giants is blind.
Oh, and BTW:
I had to write this message a second time - IE11 crashed when I tried to preview the first iteration. Microsoft FTW! (yes, that was sarcastic - I am now making a copy of the entire post before submitting, just in case)
Also, your spellchecker flags Skype as an error - I guess the spellchecker is on to something.

Adding Audio from a Premiere Layer into AE for music video

Hello All, My situation is this.
I'm doing a Dance remix Music video. The original song was a ballad. The footage used for the Dance Mix consists of both the ballad clips sped up (ballad music was at 61 beats per minute) and footage shot to the dance track (127 BPM) all of which is Green screen.
The way that I approached it was to put the .wav song on one track in Pre Pro and then I synced up the rough mix edit clips to the main music track, time stretching the Ballad clips, making the mouth movements match and body movements move in rhythm. After I got all my rough edits done I discarded their audio tracks as I thought that I would not need them further, and it was too many tracks to look at (Pre Pre could use a Shy switch). So I ended up with one Audio track and 12 Video tracks, each track containing one pass of the filming.
Then I selected each rough edited clip and used "Replace with an AE composition". In AE I then did my green screen keying. One Scene I created was a composited club scene in AE where the artist is on a stage and there are flashing lights behind her using several instances of CC Light Sweep on a Solid Layer. When I Dymically Linked back to Premiere the light sweeps were not in rhythm with the music as I had no audio to listen to in AE.
Its a lot of render time tweaking in AE and then going to Pr Pro and having to wait for more rendering to see the results.
My Question is how would I go about putting the audio track into the AE Linked comp. The song is over 5 minutes and most of the clips are a few frames to a couple of seconds long.
I think my approach was wrong in the first place and that I should have made an AE project the length of the song and done all my editing and compositing in that one Comp instead of putting things in Pr Pro first, which now makes sense, since I don't see any benefit of being in Pre Pro at this time. And I don't see any way of including part of the audio track when making the AE Linked comp.
Thanks

I don't really get the problem, I must admit. If the final audio exists and the clips have been mangled correctly in Premiere, the timing should match in any case. Why would you even need the clip's source audio? The way to work in AE is to simply create an audio preview and place markers on important cues by hitting the multiply key on the numpad while the sound plays... Everything else shouldn't matter.

Export just the audio track from Pr as a .wav file and then add it as a layer in your AE comp.
Cutting is much easier in Pr, especially the audio. The first time you try cutting audio to video in AE, you'll know what I mean.

Is there a way to disable the itunes video pop up for music videos in itunes 11?

I'm wondering if there is a way to disable the video window from popping up everytime I change a music video track in itunes in previous versions I always used play in artwork viewer but I accidentally updated and now that option is no longer there. I use itunes to organize my music collection as I'm a video dj but it's becoming to be a really big pain now with all the videos popping up. Any help would be greatly appreciated

You can choose to have videos play in the iTunes window, rather than a separate window. Start playback of a video, then right click in the video and choose "Play video in iTunes window"
