Deleted clips - exporting?

Hello,
during a general iPad cleanup I deleted some old photos. Accidentally, I also deleted an iMovie video (in Camera Roll) and some of its source files. Although I cannot export the project, I am still able to view a fluent preview of the video in iMovie, with the missing clips. Where is the file with the preview, because the clips are gone and They are still visible in the preview. I need to export this preview file so I can view it in Camera Roll again. Where is the preview file (and PLEASE don't tell me Apple doesn't officially support programs like iExplorer if needed)?
Best regards!

You know the answer already, so I won't tell you as asked.
We cannot discuss JB or non apple approved software on this forum.
I suggest you do a google search.

IMovie/ Final Cut Pro Deleting Clips/Projects

Ok, I'm an Apple newbie for about three weeks. I don't understand if I delete footage or photos I import to iMovie or FCE HD within the software, if they are permanently deleted.
In Windows, I'd have to search the Hard Drive and look for "My Videos" and delete clips there. I imported and played with some clips this morning in iMovie and FCE HD and did a File/Clear for each photo and clip. Is that it? Are they gone for good once I do that?
How about deleting completed projects once I export them? Thank you in advance for your assistance in familiarizing me with Apple and Mac!
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Your DV files in iMovie are stored in a Media folder within the My Great Project file. You can tell this by the size of the file being in the gigs.
FinalCut is a different animal. You have a preassigned location in your preferences where your Capture and Render folders are located. When you capture footage from your camera, the Capture folder is where you will find the original file. When you render an effect or transition, it will go in your Render folder. Trash the content of these folders when you complete a project (or backup accordingly).

"Move, trim, or delete clips in the primary storyline without affecting connected clips" doesn't work here

Move, trim, or delete clips in the primary storyline without affecting connected clips
That’s just what I was waiting for!
But it's very difficult for me to use this option
First af all the choice of the "Grave accent", which isn't present itself on the Mac keyboard, is somewhat strange in my opinion.
So, according to my keyboard viewer, to get grave accent I have to use alt-\ or alt-9, which is itslef too complicated.... Couldn't they program a simple modifier key (alt, or command, or ctrl...)?
Anyway, in both cases I get strange behaviours.
Infact I get alert sound, which meanes something strange is happening, and the behaviours are not what I want...
Any help?
Thanks

You can set that key to something else that suits you better.
(just as you can customize keyboard shortcuts all over the application, changing and adding shortcuts as you wish).
The name for this command is "Override connections".
Go to Final Cut Pro->Commands. This will open the "Command Editor".
In order to not mess with the default set of commands, first make a copy by selecting "Duplicate..." in the popup menu at the top left of Command Editor. Call this something meaningful (or leave it as "Copy of default").
Enter "Override connections" (without the quotes) into the search box at the top right. Now you can enter an appropriate keyboard shortcut for it.
(Note: if you choose something that is already assigned to a different function, you'll get a warning dialog box)

Function module names to delete the Export Datasource

Hi Experts,
Can anyone please let me know what function modules are while deleting the export datasource. So far in my research i have found only
RSB1_DELETE_EXPORT_DATASOURCE. -- This fm does not deletes the export datasource, I want to know which fm is used exactly to delete the datasources.
To delete the virtual infocubes, the fm used is RSDG_CUBE_DELETE. Similarly there must be a fm to delete the export datasource.
Please help.
Thanks,
Prashant.

Hi Reddy,
I hope there is no specific function module to delete the entries ( as of version 4.0). So you need to code a delete statement to perform the task.
Thanks,
Siva.

Can't Delete clips from Iphoto event

This is driving me crazy. I can't delete clips from the "iPhoto" event within imovie '08. Followed all the instruction,nothing. The 'move rejected clips to trash' in the menu is grayed out. Anybody have any solutions?? Thanks

Delete them in iPhoto. iMovie will not delete material "owned' by another application.

How to delete clips in old Imovie version instructions do not work

How can I delete clips in events in imovie? I get the red line but when i click send to trash nothing happens. Likewise when I press command delete together the clips are not trashed. Just a "beep" Help! My computer is full!

That is to rename the Sections within the template, not the name of the Template in the Template Chooser, and it is greyed out if there are no alternative sections.
It is clumsy but you either go to the Templates folder in your User Library and rename it there, or save it with the new name and then delete the old one.

IMovie: Can't export because I deleted clips and couldn't find using iExplorer either...help!

I found a discussion that had the same exact problem as I had...that person was able to export it useing iExplorer and going to apps, etc. I tried and it says the movie folder is empty. I cant still view my iMovie on my iPad but it wont let me save it or export it.

Due to you accidentally removing files associated with the project, it cannot continue to edit it. Although, IMovie does back ups of your project so I it can be played back, but as I said it cannot continue to edit it. This has happened to me before and luckily for me I was able to get the media back. Although I did have to start again. Here's your options:
- Remove the Project from IMovie. Then attempt to get your media back and start from scratch.
- if you backed up your IPad when you had the media, and restore it using ITunes.
- Maybe look up Recuva.
Hope I Could Help!

Clips exported with Media Encoder from AE are choppy (CS6)

Hi!
I'm using Media Encoder (6.0.3.1) to export clips from AE (11.0.4.2) so that I can work with them in PPro (6.0.5).
In Media Encoder I go to add AE composition and I've tried the YouTube HD 1080p 25 and the Broadcast HD 1080p 25 presets (the latter creates a much bigger file but I don't think the file size is the issue - for example, the biggest clip of approx. 1 mintute is 276MB).
The curious thing is that most of the clips that are exported are fine, i.e. they play back fine - the problem is that some of the clips go slow or choppy towards the end of the clip. So the last couple of seconds will be choppy. It basically looks like the frame rate isn't quite right.
Once exported from Media Encoder, I import them into PPro to do some more work - the problem with the clips is apparent when I play the original file in VLC (for example) or in PPro. So it seems like the problem occurs during the export from AE. When I export the video containing the AE clips from PPro the problem is obviously still there (wishful thinking on my part). I use AE just for keying and making some basic titles, nothing massively complex.
I had some problems with RAM preview in AE before, in other words, it wasn't playing the clips back in realtime and the exported clips with the problem look exactly like that (i.e. looks like the frame rate isn't right). I deactivated Enable Disk Cache in AE (Multiprocessing was already deactivated) and now I can play back clips ok in AE using RAM preview - even the ones that go choppy towards the end when they are exported with Media Encoder play back fine in AE.
Could Media Encoder be going back to some previous render files saved somewhere on my system and could that cause some of the exported clips to go choppy?
I'm new to Adobe so I'm just guessing here and I don't want to go about and delete stuff that might not have anything to do with this problem. As I've adopted the computer I'm working on from my predecessor and it's had several users since, the system is a bit of a mess and there are files all over the place. Empting the Disk Cache doesn't actually delete anything for example.
I'm really stuck here because I can't finish the projects I started working on with AE.... I would appreciate someone's input!
Many thanks in advance!
My system specs:
Intel Core i7-3930K, 3.20GHz, 16GB RAM, 64-bit operating system, GeForce GTX 680, Windows 7, Creative Suite CS6
Before using Media Encoder to export clips from AE I was just relying on Dynamic Link between AE and PPro by the way and that made all of the clips choppy for the whole duration (this was before I solved the RAM preview problem and I haven't checked if a working RAM preview would make a difference to dynamic link). So Media Encoder nearly solved the problem. I posted this original problem on creativecow (http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/1045810) but no one has gotten back to me about the new issue unfortunately.

Thanks for your reply!
I tried using Quicktime with PNG and it created a big file (1.18GB for a 1 minute long clip) that doesn't play back nicely in PPro unfortunately. But I then tried rendering the clip using a lossy format, H.264, in AE and it's playing back ok in PPro! I will just do that for the rest of the clips and hope that this is finally resolved. Many thanks for the tip!
Out of curisoty, do you know what might be causing the problem when I use Media Encoder?

Trying to add a 45 min clip to a 3 min clip. 45 min clip exports alone just fine, and so does the 3 min clip. Together they export with no final product. Any help?

I've been working on a compilation made up of video clips of my friends' wedding. There are 18 clips all together of the ceremony and random stuff from the wedding. I spent a few days (a couple hours at a time of course) working to get the clips in the proper arrangement with some transitions and volume adjustment. 12 of the clips are of the ceremony alone, and the other 6 are the random stuff. I put all of the ceremony clips together in one project and exported just fine (approx 42 mins). I also put the extras together and exported just fine (approx 3 mins). I duplicated the original ceremony project and added in the extras to have an extended version which is all clips in chronological order (approx 45 mins). I originally tried exporting the extended, but there was no final video. I then tried the ceremony vid and it exported just fine. I then went ahead and tried the extended again but still the same thing, no video. I then tried the extras alone in one clip and it also exported just fine. I would like to have a DVD of the basic ceremony as one selection, and extended version as the other. Can anyone help me with trying to figure out what might be going wrong?
The extended version lets me choose to export just as the other two clips, and just as I've been exporting since I had iMovie 11 (I've uploaded over 100 vids to youtube using the same settings, by sharing with Quicktime.). When the export process is done there's no message, and the video isn't on my desktop which is where I have all of my vids exported to, and when I do a spotlight search all I get is the project file.
Please help, this DVD is very important to my friends (the newly weds) and I, any advice is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Good to hear that you've had some success with the import.
I tried 3 times to do it before I finally changed it to H.264, and it worked on the first try. The quality of the compression was terrible with those settings compared to my standard settings, but I'm just glad it worked.
Rather than Share>Export using QuickTime and then choosing your own settings for H.264, you may get a better result if you simply use the Share>Export Movie option. Alternatively, use the Share>Media Browser option (as I mentioned in my earlier post). You will be presented with a range of sizes to choose from. Depending on your target, it's usually best to select the highest size available, such as Large, HD 720p or HD 1080p. However, for producing a DVD it's best to not go beyond the HD 720p size, as the DVD will be downscaled during encoding to Standard Definition in the appropriate size for either PAL or NTSC.
In my experience, both these options (Export Movie or Media Browser) produce a video file of excellent quality. The files will be in H.264 format and will have the file extension .mov or .m4v depending on the size of the export. I'm assuming that your camera records HD video in AVCHD format.
These files work well with iDVD (or other DVD authoring programs). The export process for the presets is optimised by Apple to produce high quality video files at a reasonable file size. So, selecting a preset may give you a much better result. Choosing your own H.264 settings when using the "Export using QuickTime" method could be why "the compression was terrible". You may have selected a data (bit) rate that was too low. There is always a trade-off between quality and file size when compressing video.
So, to summarise, try one of the Apple presets using either Share>Export Movie or Share>Media Browser.

Can i delete my exported bookmark html file after i have re imported it and merged it with my restore of my old bookmarks? Same with the json file?

I have recently reinstalled my OS on a new drive and have just successfully restored my old bookmarks and imported any new bookmarks I had saved since the OS install. I just want to know know if it is safe to delete the json file i restored from since this was on the old drive I want to format and can I also delete the html file i created by exporting my new bookmarks before i started this process?
Marc

You can keep a backup copy of that old file or make backups of the JSON backups on the new computer.<br />
You can decide for yourself if you would have a usage for that file.<br />
If all bookmarks have been restored successfully then you won't need this backup and you can create a new backup regularly if you have modified or added bookmarks.

Can't Delete Clips in iMovie

I was running an iDVD project and trying to edit an iMovie slideshow when iDVD stopped responding and I force quit from it. I then tried to Delete a clip from the iMovie project I was working on and it won't do it. Neither will trying edit-->clear. I have restarted twice and deleted iMovie preferences and it still won't work.
What have I done and how can I fix this?

I couldn't figure out how to fix this - something was corrupted, so I just started over and made an identical iMovie project to import into iDVD and trashed the old one.
Solved!

Need help on deleting after exporting to IDML

Hi Forum,
I have a script to export all the "indesign files" found inside the folder... and then remove all the indesign files...
Instead, Can i have a help to delete....
the indesign file after exporting to IDML and then
continue opening the next indesign file, exporting to IDML and deleting it...
then continue file3....
The below is the script open indesign files and export to idml and then remove all the files inside the folder Desktop/GENERAL_CS6-IDML/IN_CS6
var mySourceFolder = Folder("Desktop/GENERAL_CS6-IDML/IN_CS6");
var myOutFolder = Folder("Desktop/Completed");
//var Indd_files = get_Files(mySourceFolder,[], ".indd");
var Indd_files = mySourceFolder.getFiles (/\.indd|\.INDD/i);
//var Indd_files = get_Files(mySourceFolder,[], ".indd");
if(Indd_files.length>0)
    for(var w=0;w<Indd_files.length;w++)
        try{
             app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.neverInteract;
            myDoc = app.open(File(Indd_files[w]));
             app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.neverInteract;
             var myDocNam = stripExt((Indd_files[w].name).replace(/%20/g," "))+"idml";
             myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_MARKUP, (File(myOutFolder+"/"+myDocNam)));

        }catch(E){}
try {
var copyFolder1 = Folder("Desktop/GENERAL_CS6-IDML/IN_CS6");

Many thanks for the support..

I hope this is what you expected.
You can try the following code:
var mySourceFolder = Folder("Desktop/GENERAL_CS6-IDML/IN_CS6");
var myOutFolder = Folder("Desktop/Completed");
//var Indd_files = get_Files(mySourceFolder,[], ".indd");
var Indd_files = mySourceFolder.getFiles (/\.indd|\.INDD/i);
//var Indd_files = get_Files(mySourceFolder,[], ".indd");
if(Indd_files.length>0)
    for(var w=0;w<Indd_files.length;w++)
        try{
             app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.neverInteract;
             var myFile = File(Indd_files[w]);
            myDoc = app.open(myFile);
             app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.neverInteract;
             var myDocNam = stripExt((Indd_files[w].name).replace(/%20/g," "))+"idml";
             myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_MARKUP, (File(myOutFolder+"/"+myDocNam)));
            app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.no);
            myFile.remove();
        }catch(E){}
