Creating Short Videos From Longer Main Video

I have Adobe Premiere Elements 4. I have old family videos on a DVD (each one is 30 minutes long). I want to edit the 30 minute video into smaller 5-7 minute video segments. Then I want to create a separate video file for YouTube from each segment. Is there a way to do that within Elements 4 without disgarding the other video segments each time? Whenever I divide up the video into segments, Elements wants to create the output video using ALL of the segments rather than just one of them. Thanks
Ed

Make sure that you're using a project preset for DVD and hard drive camcorders.
Import your DVD video into your project and place it on the timeline.
Then set the Work Area Bar over the segment you want to output and go to Share/Personal Computer/WMV. Before you output your video, check the box that says Share Work Area Bar only.
Then move the Work Area Bar so that it is over the next segment, etc.

Why is short clip from long original same file size?

Imported clip into imovie. Size 8.8 gb and 48 minutes in length. Cut a 20 second clip for use in different movie. Copy to desktop. File size for 20 second clip is same as original, 8.8 gb. Why?

It has to do with iMovie's nondestructive editing. I may not be expressing this exactly right, but here are the basics. When you edit in iMovie, the parts that you have cut from the file are not actually deleted. What you see in the timeline is the part of the file that you have chosen to use; the rest is retained. You always have the ability to revert to the original version. When you see the file size, you are viewing the size of the entire clip-the part you are using along with the part you cut.
If you want to save only the 20-second clip, export it as a QuickTime movie. You should then see a difference in the file size.
I hope this helps.

Creating PDF's from *.doc or *.docx file with fake security issue's ......

Hi,
We're trying the new 11 Pro and just patched it to:11.0.09 to try to fix this error below.
When the user tries to create a PDF from the main menu that now says "Create PDF from File" instead of the old screen that said "Create PDF" ......
If I start the process with a *.docx file I get the " can't open the file because of rights " error and it was doing the same thing in the old original installed
version of 11 and also now this the new one I just updated now to try to fix it.
I also deleted the normal.doc templates in both his old MS Word 2003 program and also in the current copy he uses MS Word 2007.
If I start the 11 Pro and pick the same document as the first one except for the fact that it has been re-saved in a *.doc MS Word 2003 format,
the whole thing works perfectly.
Any suggestions?
Cheers'
Dave

Have you tried to open WORD and either print to the Adobe PDF printer or use the Acrobat icon (PDF Maker)? Try both. Do they work or not. PDF Maker has to work for the functionality of the create in Acrobat to work.

Hello. I have an iPad2, and iMovie software. My main problem, for the moment, is the length of the videos: I can´t create a video with more than 56 seconds. When I try, the app shuts off... Can anyone help me?

Sorry. We can't help you. It's no longer an iPhone. Apple won't touch it.
Take it to whoever replaced the screen and see if they can help you.
iPhones are not user servicable and Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. I'd be surprised if you were actually able to back it up at this point. It sounds like it's completely borked.

How to create a Video longer than 15 minutes?

It seems a though I can only create a 15 minute long video in Premiere Elements 11. Is there a way to create a longer video? I have many clips and the total time is about 40 minutes.

John
Thanks for the reply.
I have thought about how to get the Premiere Elements Instant Movie to produce what would appear to be a more than 15 minutes end product with
and without some maneuvers of the Timeline features.
So far...
1. In principle, divide your 40 minutes of source media into about 3 parts...each part with consecutively placed source file.
2. Bring the ordered Part 1 sources from Project Assets, to the Timeline, apply Instant Movie after you have selected your theme and set up the Personalize Movie dialog.
3. Clear the completed Part 1 Instant Movie file (not folder) from the Timeline and rename its thumbnail in Project Assets to read Part 1.
4. Bring the ordered Part 2 sources from Project Assets to the Timeline, apply Instant Movie after you have selected your theme and set up the Personalize Movie dialog.
5. Clear the completed Part 2 Instant Movie file (not folder) from the Timeline and rename its thumbnails in the Project Assets to read Part 2.
6. Repeat 4 and 5 for ordered Part 3.
7. Then look to Projects Assets and drag the thumbnails named Part 1, 2, and 3 to the Timeline to export consistent with your project's project settings.
Clean ups....note that, with defaults, you will have a title at the beginning and end of each Instant Movie.
Focus points....Part 1, beginning title OK, but do not want closing title yet.
Part 2, no beginning and ending titles wanted.
Part 3, no beginning title wanted but closing title wanted.
Part 2 can be taken care of in Personalize Movie/Theme Content by removing check mark next to Title.
Part 1 and 2....use Premiere Elements command "Break Apart Instant Movie" and remove the unwanted titles
or use the scissors tool on the intact Instant Movie.
As indicated evaluate the transitioning between Parts 1, 2, and 3.
Please review and consider.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Procedure and Format for emailing a short video clip from iMovie 08

I use one of the new Panasonic HiDef AVCHD digital video cameras. iMovie 08 works great, no complaints there. From time to time I would like to email very short (5-20 second) video clips, rather than putting them up on iWeb, YouTube, etc.
There are so many "sharing" options, and I haven't had much luck with emailing these short clips. Many of the recipients are Windows users, so I'm not sure QuickTime is the answer. What is the best way to email short video clips from iMovie 08?

What is the best way to email short video clips from iMovie 08?
Assuming you and your recipients' mail clients all allow attachments up to 10 MBs, then a 20-second clip can have a combined data rate of up to 500 KB/s (4.0Mbit/s). This means you can use any share/export compressions format option available to you from within iMovie '08. Therefore, the real question becomes, what compression formats can your recipients play. Have you tried asking them to see if there is a single compression format that everyone can play? If no QT compression format is compatible everyone, then you will likely have to perform a secondary conversion to one that will be compatible. H.264/AAC would provide the smallest files for a given level of quality but require QT 7 (or similar multi-media player). MPEG4/AAC would probably be the most compatible format you can export directly from within iMovie '08. (Would have recommended Sorenson 3/IMA but data rate limitation appears to be ignored.) MPEG-1 files can probably be played by everyone but have higher data rate requirements which may restrict files to SD dimensions and require additional software to create external to iMovie '08. DivX or WMV would probably make your Windows users happy but requires Mac users to have a compatible component for viewing in the QT Player.
Try the "Export using QuickTime" Share menu option ("Movie to MPEG-4") settings:
Video
MP4 File Type
MPEG-4 Improved Compressor
Data rate in the range from 1,000 (640x480) to 3800 (near HD dimensions)
Current (or user specified) dimensions
Current Frame Rate
Key Frame every 24 frames
Audio:
AAC-LC Music
Mono
64 Kbps Data Rate
44.1 KHz Sampling Rate

IMovie will only import short videos from my camera.

Hello,
I recently bought a Sony CyberShot DSC-HX50 camera. I filled one 8 GB memory card and have half-filled a 16 GB card (I was overseas and couldn't download photos to my MacBook Pro, which was at home). I have the most recent version of iMovie but this is the first time I've used it. My MacBook has a new solid-state hard drive and plenty of memory.
iMovie does not "see" ANY of the videos on the 8 GB card; the videos are all either about one, three, or seven minutes long. On the 16 GB card, it only "sees" the videos that are under one minute. I have imported those videos to iMovie, but I can't get it to "see" the other, longer ones. I've tried unplugging and replugging the camera cable, removing and replacing the memory card, turning the camera on and off, and shutting off and restarting iMovie. I've gone through all of the options in the toolbar and haven't found the answer, and the "help" option isn't helpful at all. The videos play fine on the camera screen.
All iMovie does when I try to "import from camera" from the 8 GB card is show the little icons that look like a piece of old-fashioned camera film; no indication at all that there are any videos on the camera card. When I try to import from the 16 GB card, iMovie just shows the three short videos and no indication that the longer ones exist.
Interestingly, iPhoto can "see" the same movies iMovie can. I understand iPhoto is not set up to download longer movies (although it has downloaded movies from my iPod that are several minutes long). But I have no idea why iMovie isn't cooperating.
Help, please! Thank you!

OK thanks. I downloaded the Simple Transfer app but not too sure how to use it to transfer pics back to PC. It asked me to go to a website but I couldn't get it to transfer anything - it seemed to only want to transfer from my PC to the Ipad and not the other way around.
I'm very new to apple products so big learning curve for me.
Any suggestions?
Thank you for your help.

Is it possible to create a photo from a video in iPhoto?

I have a short video from which I would like to create a still / standard photo. Is there a way of doing this?
Thanks

iPhoto does not support to extract still frames. The quickest way to create a still frame in iPhoto is to view the video in full screen mode and to take a screenshot of the frame you want - simply type the key combination ⇧⌘3 . This will save a screenshot on your Desktop.

Is there a way to create still jpegs from video clips in iMovie?

Is there a way to create a jpeg from a video clip and save the file?
Thanks for the info!
Len

Here is a method for extracting a still from iMovie 09.
Are you working in iMovie and realize that certain frames in the movie would be perfect as photographs? Here is how to extract them...
*To get a still frame from an Event*, right-click on the frame and select "Add Still Frame to Project". The still will be added to the end of the current project. Right click on the still frame in the project and select "Reveal in Finder". You will see a jpeg file that is highlighted. Drag this jpeg file in the finder to the iPhoto icon on your dock.
*If you want a still from a project*, rather than an event, the process is similar, except you right-click on the frame and select "Add Freeze Frame", and it adds the freeze frame at the end of the clip rather than at the end of the project. Right-click/reveal in Finder, drag JPEG to iPhoto icon in dock.
*If you are not using iPhoto*, and just want to save to your desktop, click Reveal in Finder as above, then COPY, then PASTE to desktop.
Hint: If you do not want to clutter up your iMovie Project with stills at the end that you would have to go back and delete, then create a separate iMovie Project just for your stills, and follow the instructions for capturing stills from an Event.
Note: If you do not have a right mouse button, then control-click will work instead of right-click.

I can no longer receive short videos in iMessage after downloading iOs7 on my iPhone 4 it says "Downloading", only 4.3MB in size

I can no longer receive short videos in iMessage after downloading iOs7 on my iPhone 4 it says "Downloading", only 4.3MB in size

I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

You need to help us first ...
Computer specs:
OS, CPU, RAM, GPU, vRAM ... and also disc layout & connections can be useful (as in, "2 internal hard-drives and an external on Thunderbolt connection for exports")
Program specs:
Specific build of Premier Pro from the bottom of the "About" splash screen off the "Help" menu is best.
Footage file type: MXF, AVCHD, MOV, m2s, what?
Even the camera it was shot on can be of interest at times.
And did you use media browser to import, then project panel to drag & drop?

Creating a DVD from camcorder video tape

Hi all,
I am tasked with creating a DVD from some of my dads camcorder tapes. Can anyone provide a simple advice list. I assume that iDVD (which i have never used) will be the software to use?
Look forward to hearing from you helpful and intelligent people out there.
From a complete simpleton.
Kind regards,
Alan

The easiest way (if you don't want to do any editing)
buy a dvd player/recorder, connect the video out of the camcorder to the dvd recorder input.

Creating training videos from screen captures?

Hello folks,
Is it possible to create interactive videos from a series of screen captures. I understand the preferred method is to use Captivate to record a session, however, all my software walk throughs are created in a VM and installing Captivate inside a VM is not always practical.
In the past, when I worked with RWD uPerform, I captured static screens using a really good/free tool called Gadwin screen capture. Once completed, I could add these screens into RWD, select clickable areas and RWD would do the rest by simulating clicks, motions, etc.
Is this possible in Captivate?
Thus far, my experience with Captivate involved doing direct recordings, in a manner similar to Camtasia.
Thank you.

Hi there
If you are seeking a smaller footprint (read mobile or possibly portable) version of Captivate, please request same using the Wish Form. Adobe development does pay attention to these. If enough folks request something or report a certain issue, it gains a higher priority on the list of features or fixes.
Cheers... Rick

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
