Cropping Video into Separate Files

Hi,
Is there any way to crop videos into separate files in iMovie?
Thanks!

in short: no.
the free 30d trial of FCPX would easiely allow to crop the video.
or,
free Mpeg Streamclip offers a crop feature too.
keep in mind:
resolution gets axed by 75% doing so => dramatic quality loss.

How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive? The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import. Can it be done?

How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive? The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import. Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC.

No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either. It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected. VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB. All of which cannot be opened or selected.
Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC. Is that the same? Thank you for your time and response.

Splitting single video into multiple files - workflow improvements?

I regularly need to split a single video into multiple separate files that are used by other programs. I'm using Premiere Pro CS4 for a number of reasons including the ability to easily and accurately select a scene by individual frames, native audio and video effects/filters, and the ability to import and export various video types. I'm open to using other tools, but I haven't yet found one that is even close to Premiere Pro when it comes to accurately selecting split points.
I'm not a Premiere Pro expert. I have been doing this for about four months and have read many resources (books, forum posts, help guides) to refine the workflow I'm currently using. My question: does anyone know any improvements that might save me time/keystrokes.
Current workflow:
I've bound F8 to File > Export > Media
Import video file
Open in source monitor
Set In and Out points for scene in source monitor
Ctrl-drag from source monitor to Project Panel (creates a subclip)
Repeat 3 and 4 for all scenes/subclips
Select all subclips from Project Panel and drag to timeline
Set work area bar to first subclip in timeline by the following four keystrokes: Home, Alt-[, PageDown, Alt-]
Type F8 (File > Export > Media shortcut). Type output file name, click OK and the first subclip is put in the AME queue
For the remaining subclips, type: Alt-[, PageDown, Alt-], F8, output file name, OK and repeat until done
Any thoughts/ideas on workflow improvements?
Thank you!

Thank you Hunt.
For the sake of brevity, I didn't include all of the details about the various aspects of the projects.
Early on I was doing what you suggested and yes, it is a little quicker. I learned (painfully) a couple of months later that I sometimes have to go back and adjust the clips and this method (trim to timeline with no subclips) resulted in quite a bit of duplicate effort (to reobtain start/stop points). I've since learned that managing the "scenes" as subclips in topical bins allows me to go back and make adjustments, long after I've totally forgotten about the project content, without a lot of unnecessary reworking.

Turning video into gif files

Not sure if this is the right place - but does anyone know how I an take video snipets that I have in media player and turn into gif files?

I'm not sure if you were looking for something free, but exporting an image sequence from Quicktime Pro (with the appropriate plugin) and importing the images into GraphicConverter works for me. You may need to edit the number and size of the frames depending on what your usage will be.

Can I separate the pages of one PDF file into separate files

Is there a quick way to separate the pages of a PDF?
For example, I want to take a 10 page PDF, separate the pages and save them as 10 separate files.
I know I can go through and extract each page, but I need to do this with multiple documents that can be over 100 pages and to extract each page one-by-one would be extremely time consuming.

See Thom Parker's latest http://www.acrobatusers.com/tech_corners/javascript_corner/index.php JavaScript Corner http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2008/04/js_extracting_pages/ Extracting pages from a PDF with Acrobat JavaScript for an example of JavaScript that can extract every 4 pages and place them in an email or new file. This code can easily be modified to extract every page.
Or you can download http://abracadabrapdf.net/articles.php?lng=en&pg=15 AbracadabraTOOLS 2.5 to add new menu options to your copy of Acrobat that include splitting a PDF by x pages.

Splitting or Dividing an MP4 file into Separate Files

I have been importing several VHS tapes with Elgato Video Capture to an external hard drive. I have several MP4 files. Some of the movie files have video from different subjects that I would like to split up. When I open them into Quicktime and copy and paste the section I want to a new Quicktime file why can I not just save the file in the format it was copied from?
I don't want to have to import these into iMovie and re-export the video. I already have it in the format and size I want. Is there a way to just grab sections from these files and save them as is?
I'm doing this on my MacBook not my G5 listed in my sig.

When I open them into Quicktime and copy and paste the section I want to a new Quicktime file why can I not just save the file in the format it was copied from?
If you are using QT 7 Pro, you can/are already doing so. However, QT Pro saves the segments in their original compression formats to an MOV file container. If your files are MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC you can perform the same segmentation actions using MPEG Streamclip (free) and save the files to either MOV or MP4 file containers. If you are using QT X for segmentation, then it works essentially the same as QT 7 Pro but by default writes the original data to an MOV file container without the .mov designation.
Also when I export as it take way too long.
The "Export" option normally re-compresses the video which is what takes so long.
Why can't I just save and put in a name? It's already encoded and rendered.
You can. Simply select the icon after it has been saved, click on the name to open the name editing box, and change it to whatever you want as long as the name is valid within file naming restrictions. (e.g., regarding length, characters, etc.)
Why does it have to act like it's a brand new file?
It is a "brand new file." Apple may have done this as part of a "do no harm" approach to prevent novice users from overwriting the original file and, thus, losing their original data for which the user may or may not have further use. As to why it doesn't offer you the opportunity to change the name, maybe you should request this option and a future enhancement. Since the name is easily changed in any case, it is not a "biggie" for me.

Embedding FLV Video Into PDF Files

I have been testing out embedding FLV files into PDF's to simplify presentations (no need for Powerpoint, DVD player, DVD player software, etc..). It is a bit slow when a big video file will load, but I think it is worth it for the simplified presentation method.
My problem is this, whenever I embed an FLV file into a PDF, it seems to degrade the quality down a notch or two. I am not concerned about file size since these will always be played locally from a hard drive or CD so I created the embedded FLV file to be high quality and very crisp (720 x 486, ~2200kbs bit rate). However, no matter how good a file I embed, after it becomes embedded it always looks worse. At this point, it has mainly been trial and error, but the original quality does not seem to matter as to how it will look in the PDF.
Does Acrobat Pro re-encode the video no matter if it is FLV or not? And is there anyway to change the settings so it does not alter the existing quality?
Thank you.

Are you inserting a screen capture FLV of the whole screen. I use camtasia Studio to capture my desktop in video... and if the playback is NOT at the same size as the original...then it can look blurry.

Embedding video into Projector file

First of all, sorry, I know this question has been asked
before, but I couldnt find an answer in the other threads.
I am looking for a way to embed my mov files into the .exe
projector file so you do not need to include the mov files on the
final disc. The reason I need this is because I am creating an
enchanced DVD, which included DVD footage which you can watch on a
TV, but when the DVD is in a PC, you can click on a button which
launches a projector file. The only prob is that I can only link to
1 file, and this one file is then embedded in the video TS file.
Hope this makes sense.

You cannot embed video content as such. You may be able to
use a binary io xtra such as
vList
to create an internal member with the same data as the external
video file, but you will need to write the internal member back out
to the hard disk before Director will be able to play it. You could
then delete the temporary file.
There are ways to retrieve the media of internal members
(other than scripts) from a protected cast. The strongest
protection you could apply would be encryption to the internal
member. Having said that, during the time the video file is on the
hard disk, a savvy and unscrupulous user could copy it for playback
elsewhere.
In other words, there is no way to protect your video file
completely.

Divide work into separate files

I have about 299 pages finished.
I need to separate them into 3 or 4 separate groups, so when I start to work on them, I will only have to open one group.
I have the work under one name on my dock, so I can just click and go to work, but I only work on one part of work each time, so don't want to open them all.
If I could have 3 or 4 files on the dock, I could click one at a time.
I know I would have to name each one with a different name or number.
I thought I could highlite each section and save them to documents, but that didn't work for me.
I also tried 'sections' (click at end of text where you want to section) but that didn't do what I need.
I have pages '08, versio 3.0.0, on a MacBook Pro 10.6.8.
Thank you

Save a new document called My Work 01.pages
Duplicate this in Finder however many times you want divisions eg My Work 01.pages, My Work 02.pages etc
Then delete the unwanted parts one by one in each. Helps if each is a Chapter and the number is the Chapter number.
Make sure you correct the starting page in each chapter, before you delete the unwanted chapters, to keep the sequence.

How Do I Extract All Pages From A Pdf File and Turn Them All Into Separate Files

Hi i have downloaded 100 reports into a single pdf, that must be extracted into 100 seperate pdfs. A prety straightforward question, that i was not able to find a straighforward answer to.
Thanks for your help in advance!
Matt

i have Adobe Acrobat Pro, Version 10, would that work?
Mind you, I want to take the 100 pages and turn them into 100 pdf files, avoiding of course going through the process of doing it one page at a time, one page at a time, one hundred times lol

How can I divide a video into separate clips?

I need to take video that I have been given and divide it into ten second intervals in order to collect data from each clip (for behavioral analysis and research). I know nothing about using video editing software but if I can learn how to do it right I will have a new job, so I really am motivated to learn!
Thanks in advance,
Sandi

Maybe you dont have to :divide" it. (eg cut it up into ten second clips.)
Maybe a running clock super imposed onthe footage will be a better way for your goal.
We can tell you how to do either...but you do need the basics * edit and application fundamentals) before starting anything.
Dont be daunted at the start. Its easier than it looks

HOw to cut up a video into separate tracks?

It's been a while since i used iMovie, so I can't remember what term I would need to look up in the help section. I have a hour long home movie that I want to cut up and use only certain portions in my final video. Each portion will then become a new track on the DVD that can be accessed via the DVD menu. How would I go about this?
Thanks

There are two ways to do this in iMovie 09
1) Use Chapter Markers
2) In the Project Library View, select the project and then click FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT. Do this as for as many copies as you need. Then to create a shorter portion, delete the clips you do not need for that portion.
If you are open to using another application, you can Share your movie in iMovie. Then use QuickTime Pro ($30) or MPEG Streamclip (free) to split the movie.

Sorting iPhoto Videos into separate items in Event Library

All my videos from iPhoto have imported to iPhoto Videos in iMovie 11 but I want to list them separately in the Event Library List - does anyone know how to do this please?
ALSO
I have split them within the browser but unfortunately have put a few in the wrong event - have tried to split but the area is now greyed out - any help would be
appreciated.
Many thanks

But none of the 11 videos is housed in an Event. They are just 11 short videos in a row. I tried to make an empty folder to name as RISE UP, but the application would not let me do that.
If the files have not yet been imported to iMovie '08 then select the "Import Movie..." File menu option. When the import window opens, in the lower area:
a) Select your destination hard drive in the "Save to:" block
b) Select the "Create new Event:" radio button
c) Name the new event
d) Select whether you want the files copied or moved to the new event
Now navigate to and select the files you want to import in the upper half of the window. (You can select individual files; multiple, non-contiguous files; or a contiguous range of files.) Press import when done making your selection(s).
