Cutting out a certain part of video

Basically I want to know how I can cut out a certain part of a video and then put it onto another video, for example someones face onto someone else body.

You might find some of Curt Wrigley's tutorials handy for this:

http://www.wrigleyvideo.com/videotutorial/tutdes_ppro2_smoothface.htm
Neither is exactly what you want to do, but the techniques are the same. You just need to read between the lines a little bit.
Now, your video source files can help you get really close, or can get squarely in the way. It might help for you to tell us what your video source files are. Be VERY specidic, as .AVI is but a wrapper, and doesn't tell us anything.
If you have AfterEffects, it will also give you much more power, but it can be done in PrP.

Is it possible to cut out a certain part of a photo and add it to another

hi everyone
im a new aperture user and was wondering if anyone can help , is it possible to remove a certain part of a picture and insert it into another and if so how would i do it?
also is there more tools that are avalable i purschased the version off of the app store for mountain lion
thanks mark

I am sure that there will be other recommendations, but I like PSE because it can do most of the things that Photoshop can do, but it has a "guided mode" and good help files to walk you through. I also like "The Missing Manual" for PSE, it also explains things in a clear and simple manner.
One thing to point out, is that PSE works *with* Aperture. You would use Aperture to organize and do basic editing chores, and, when necessary, Aperture can send the image to PSE for additional work when done PSE sends it back to Aperture.

I'm trying to cut out the introductory part of a song that I imported from ITunes and not start the song from the beginning

Has anyone ever imported a song from Itunes and deleted the first part of the song so that it starts at a certain location?

Sure. Drag the song into your Project from the Music Browser and drop it on the clip where you want it to start. It should appear as a ribbon underneath your video clips. You can then drag the left edge if the clip to the right, until it starts where you want it to.
This video Tutorial may help.

Another way. Once you drag in the music clip, click the gear icon on the clip to open the clip trimmer. You can change where the clip starts there.
See iMovie Help here for all the details.

Cutting out a person from a video.

Ok I have a background video and a video of a lady on the track above it. I take the 16 point track matte and cut her out. I now want to blur the cut edges to smooth her into the below video. I tried the black video track as when you do a viginette but it kills the bottom video track because there is no transparent setting. Just black. How would I do tis in ppcs6? It is as easy as beziar mask in Sony Vegas and then feather. You have a video clip cutout and a transparent feather that blends into your background beautifully. Any help would be great thank you.
David

I am not sure if it will work for you, but try the Roughen Edges effect.
Increase the border size, decrease the edge sharpness to zero, and increase the scale. That might do the trick.
Life would be easier if the garbage matte had a feather parameter.

OVMS - Local display cuts out after boot DMS 59 Video Card

Hey All -
We use OVM/OVS on what you might call 'desktop servers'. We have several setup. We recently purchased some more machines that I am installing OVS onto and will add them to the cluster.
However, these machines only video connection is DMS 59. As such, we are using a default DMS 59 to DVI splitter, and then just running a single connection from the splitter to a DVI capable monitor.
Using this, OVS can be installed. However, on each successive boot after installing the display will show GRUB, the boot, and then right before OVS loads its console the display ceases to function.
Now I assume this has to do with our DMS 59 connections - but I can't find any documentation about why this may not be supported or if I am missing a driver.
Thoughts?

The bug is known, and a patch has been submitted: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80151. There's been no update since friday, so I wonder what the current status is, or if it's up for review at all.
Does anyone know how we can be notified when this patch hits the kernel?

Audio cutting out on playback

I am editing a video in FCP X and the audio keeps cutting out in playback.
The video is mainly comprised of .mov files converted from M2T files using the Apple ProRes 422(HQ) codec. There are one or two .mov files supplied by another camera operator with lower spec, but these are not problematic.
I had no problems with previous projects using the same files, but this time the audio is constantly cutting out on playback. It seems to be fine on export which is a relief but the playback problem is making editing very difficult.
Does anyone have any advice?
I am using:
MacBook Pro
OS 10.8.4
Processor: 2.7GHz Intel Core i7
RAM: 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 384 MB
Final Cut Pro X 10.0.9
Thanks.

Hi
Sorry for the delay in replying.
The video was filmed on a SonyZ7 camera which created M2T files. These were then converted using Pavtube MTS-M2TS Converter. I converted them to .mov files using the Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) codec.
I used the default audio settings for the conversion which are:
Codec: pcm_s16le (no other options)
Sample rate: 44100 (only other option is 44800)
Bitrate: 352800 (only other option is 38400)
Channels: stereo
The only changes I've made to the audio in FCPX are to adjust volume, add fades, and in some cases remove one of the channels and turn the other one into dual mono.
I've also now cleared some space on my Macbook harddrive as I wondered if that was the problem, it's now less than 50% full and it's still an issue. It doesn't seem to be a RAM issue as I have the MemoryFreer app and this happens even when I have plenty of free memory.
Hope someone can help?
Thanks

I use Final Cut Pro X to make YouTube videos. The sound is great when I watch the videos on certain computers, but muffled on others. How do I fix this?

You don't. You can't control how other computers or browsers play back the footage. The best you can do is export a master file that plays great on your computer. What youTube does with it, or how other computers play it back is out of your hands.
Just like me with broadcast TV shows. I deliver the most pristine version I can to the network. But then they convert it to a digital file that they then beam out to cable and satellite providers, who then compress it again to play on their systems. And then it arrives at grandma's house and plays on her TV. I have no control how my grandma receives the signal, nor how her TV is set up. Unless I am nice and tweak things when I go visit. But I can't do this at every house that might want to watch my show.

IS CUTTING OUT VIDEO AND OPTION?

Is that any way to cut out a part of video to replace it with another piece? i wanted to have an interview playing with the head to be something else. Would that work? I tried cropping but it didnt' work good enough. Please help! I have Premiere Elements 7.0

Are you talking about replacing the head of the speaker with another head, or similar? If so, they what you are talking about is Keying, done with a Matte. Also, PrE has Video Merge, in the later versions, and it might be helpful for what you want.
If the replacement "head" was shot against a green screen, then things get a whole lot easier. This ARTICLE, while for other programs, might be useful for some ideas.
Depending on exactly what you are shooting for, it might be that another program, like Adobe AfterEffects, will be required.
Can you post screen-caps of your "original footage," and then show us what you would like to replace the "head" with? That might tell us the best method for you to explore. Different footage, and different uses will dictate different methods and maybe programs.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - if you do not need exact Keying, you might want to explore Garbage Matte on the Clip in the higher Video Track, as it will be much more precise than the general 4-sided Crop Effect.

How can I keep my video sound from cutting out?

The last couple of weeks the sound on my videos has been cutting out after I play them on Itunes on my computer, usually after a few seconds to a minute or two. I do not have the same problem when I load them on my really old Ipod Touch however. How can I fix this problem? Everything else seems to play fine except the video audio on the computer when I use Itunes. I thought it was just the tv show audio that was affected, but I just tried a couple of movies and the soundtracks are having the same problems. The root menu screens were running fine, but when the actual movies started playing it started to cut out. Please help!

Try repair your QuickTime from control panel. Programs n features.
If that doesnot work, go to
Control panel
Sound (Hardware n Sound)
Under Playback tab, highlight each device and click Properties button
Go to Advanced tab and change Sample Rate to 16bit 48000hz (DVD Quality) or 96000hz (Studio Quality), OK n OK.

I have a iPhone 4S and when watching videos on the internet sound cuts out as the video is playing. The rest of the video plays with no sound. Sometimes when I pause It and play again sound comes back but not all the time. can anyone help?

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

How do you cut out the part of an image in a photo?

How do you cut out a part of an image on a photo that you have added to Pages. For example, if I have added a picture of a giraffe to Pages how would I cut out the giraffe from the image and get rid of the rest of the image

You can use the instant alpha tool to make the background transparent.
FYI: Pages is part of iWork, not iLife.

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

Video Cuts out After 20 Minutes

With my iPod video coming soon I am preparing movies to put onto my iPod. I convert DVDs into MPEG1s, then MPEG1s into uncompressed AVIs because QT can take audio and video from AVIs. My final uncompressed AVI is perfect, audio and video all the way through. Now, when I convert this AVI to an iPod format movie (320x240), a QT movie (.mov), or a MPEG4 (I have tried all three), it seems to work fine, no errors or anything. Then when I play the result, the audio goes all the way through, but the video cuts out to a white screen after 20 minutes. Is this fixable or do I have to wait for a QT update? By the way, the movie is 90-100 minutes long.

You are converting a DVD (MPEG-2 format) to MPEG-1 format and then to .avi file. This new (now compressed twice) file is compressed again (conversion to .mov).
Too many steps and way too much re-compression.
You should search for some software that will export from MPEG-2 to the iPod settings.
The white screen issue is probably caused by broken time codes (the MPEG-1 file, I suspect).
I've seen new software releases designed for iPod video export (both Mac and Windows versions). Maybe you should try a few of them.
Can the iPod battery hold out long enough to play 100 minutes of video?

Photobooth recording videos cuts out

Hiya
my one month old macbook pro, was just using it today for a bit of fun, so i set the application up, starting recording while me and my friend did our act in front of the camera. as usual, i pressed stopped when we had finished (after 3 minutes) and photobooth finished recording. (as i pressed stop, it was still recording with the timer well into 3 minutes)
however, when playing the video back, i discovered it had only recorded about 30 seconds of it even though after 3 mins it still said recording and the green light above was on
so we tried again, this time recording for 2 and a half mins, but still not the whole thing
and again, this time for only 26 seconds.
But as i pressed stop, it still was recording!!!!!!!!! and this was after 3 minutes each time
Why has it cut loads out when it has saved it?!?!??!?!?!
really annoying. i have 130gb HDD space remaining too.
thanks very much if anyone can shed any light
Dave
