Detaching Audio from clip from the film library panel?

I was wondering if anyone knows how to grab video only from the film library panel. I want to just pull video and not audio as I layout video only out onto my timeline and don't want to hasstle through detaching audio from each clip in the timeline. Does anyone know how to do this? I know Adobe Premier lets you do this but I'm fairly new to FCP and would like to know

Unchecking the audio in the sequence so that source/left A1 isn't connected(not touching) to timeline/right A1 will ensure audio is not added to the the a1 track.
In Premiere 5.5 if you unhighlight a1(source/left) and A1(timeline/right) no audio will be added to that track.
If you unconnect A1 & A2 in the sequence audio will never be added to timeline whether you drag a clip from a bin or insert/overwrite from the viewer window.

How do I save photos from email to the photo library?

How do I save photos from email to the photo library? I've seen an online demo of users that hold their finger or thumb over the image for a few seconds and a "save photo" window option appears. That doesn't work on my 6-month old iphone. It's version 1.1.4 (4a102) ???? Help! Anybody with an answer?

Never mind. I figured out the 2.0 update. My system wasn't updating I-tunes...and the I-phone update option window was hidden behind some other system information. I figured it out. The download, install and re-synch took about an hour. Lots of horror stories out there about people trying to activate their new I-phones. Glad this worked for me!

No audio for clips in my event library since upgrading to iLife '09

After upgrading to iLife '09, I noticed something odd in the new iMovie. All of my clips (recorded with a Sanyo Xacti HD1A and imported into the previous version of iPhoto DO show up in the event library, but DO NOT play any sound in the event library. If I copy a clip or move it up to the project editor the audio plays there. Does anyone know why I am getting no audio for these clips in the event library or what can be done to correct the issue?
Thanks,
-Mike

Finally got some sound on the clips in my iMovie '09 event library. This is what worked here: I went into the Pictures folder and showed the package contents of the "iPhoto Library". I went into the "Data" folder. I went to a "2008" folder. I located the folder of the first video clip I had for the holiday footage... "Dec 14, 2008". Inside that was a QuickTime file "SANY0001" and a JPEG "SANY0001.jpg". I zipped up the "Dec 14, 2008" folder. I dragged the folder to the trash. I dragged the .zip file out to the desktop.
I opened iPhoto '09. It showed an event for Dec 14, 2008 with a dashed-line round rectangle where it would have normally shown the first frame of the video clip. I closed iPhoto '09 and opened iMovie '09. It alerted me that it needed to generate a thumbnail for some video, and after about a minute the clip was in my event library and playing audio. Not only that... ALL clips in my event library now are playing audio. I quit iMovie '09 and went back into the "iPhoto Library". A new "Dec 14, 2008" folder was there with a new "SANY0001" QuickTime file (I wonder where it got this file from... hidden cache or backup somewhere?). I expanded the .zip on the desktop and dragged the original JPEG file from it to the new "Dec 14, 2008" folder.
I opened iPhoto '09 again. Now the thumbnail (obviously the JPEG file) displays fine.
Double checked iMovie '09... Yep, still playing the audio in ALL the clips in the event library.
I'm not really sure why this worked the way it did. The time it took to generate the new thumbnail was ONLY for the one clip... so it seems rather odd that all the subsequent clips in the event library started to work. Perhaps I just got lucky and it is only that first clip that was throwing everything else off in the thumbnails... or maybe iMovie just looks at the first clip in the event library to determine if it is playing sound or not for all of them?
Another oddity? The original SANY0001 file is "17.2 MB". The new one, which appears to be exactly the same in quality, is "10.8 MB". The "More Info" section reveals a bit more that might be of interest. The original is Codecs: Photo - JPEG, Integer (Big Endian). The new one is Codecs: Photo - JPEG, Integer (Little Endian). Total bit rate in the original is 2,570. In the new one it is 1,605.
Ah well. It works!!! Now I can finally have some fun exploring the new features of iMovie '09

Is there a way to copy referenced video clips into the iMovie library?

When I import video clips into an iMovie event it seems that iMovie uses only a reference to the file. When files are moved things get horrible broken soon. I noticed that iMovie does actually copy video clips into your library when you convert your library from iMovie'11 to iMovie'13. Is there a way to copy video clips into the iMovie library when importing them so that they don't get lost?

Every time I drag a clip into the events library Final Cut Pro X crashes.

Every time I drag a clip into the events library Final Cut Pro X crashes. The import appears to have occured successfully despite the crash as it is in the folder when I reopen FCPX. But having to restart the program every time I import is annoying and suggests the program is deficient. The only imports I have tried so far are from iMovie, its sister program.

Have you tried dumping the preferences file, always my first item when issues arise in the FC family. Second, have you tried different file types? It could be a file issue, FCX not recognizing it (letting you import, but throwing up afterwards).

No audio from clips from camera

I am using iMovie HD 6 and I have transferred my clips from cam corder. The problem I am having is that I am manually dragging video clips from my camera to iMovie and the clips go in except they have no audio. Any solutions to this problem would be great...

What kind of camcorder are we talking about? I suspect this isn't a tape based MiniDV type camera, right? And instead you are importing from some sort of DVD, Flash, or hard drive based camera? If so are the videos in MPEG format when you add them to iMovie?
QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, when you convert videos they sometimes only get the video and no sound since iMovie (really QuickTime) is not looking for the audio track within the video track and it gets lost.
Here is an article explaining it when you try to convert video to iPod format...
iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302588
One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

Exporting Albums from Iphoto (without the whole library)

Hi, I am going through the process of sorting and filing my thousands of photos. I have roughly sorted into Albums but still have to delete thousands from within the albums. I understand in iPhoto that even if I delete the photos in the albums, they will still be stored in the library (as I haven't deleted them in Events, they were just too all over the place so I found sorting into albums first easier to file).
Once I delete the shots I don't want so I have complete and final albums, can I export just the Albums, not the whole library? I don't want to take up space with unwanted shots and I want to make sure I keep only the albums that I have spent time putting into order.
Is there any easy way that I can take only the Albums and those shots (and keep the same heading/ filing) to both export to a hard drive, but also to then load onto a new computer? Or can I even export them to a hard drive, then delete the current library and re-load just the albums rto free up space?
Thanks

Simple, when you sync your iPad to iTunes, in iTunes on the left sidebar under "Devices", click your iPad, and on the top bar click "Photos". Here, you will be able to select specific photo albums to sync as opposed to the entire library.
Hope it helps!

Making stills from clips for the drop zone

How do I make a still picture from an iMovie clip for the drop zone and paste it to the drop zone?

this option is available in iMovie under create still frame from the edit menu. then from there "save frame as" ... i use jpeg.
Like this:
From there you simply drag and drop the jpeg to iDVD.
Good luck and hope this helps. If so, please take the time to mark your question as "Answered."

Moving Photos from IPhoto to the Picture Library

I'm a heavy IPhoto user and have over 9000 photos in it. The main reason I moved to IPhoto8 was its greater capacity. But I now find that IPhoto runs much more slowly and I constantly need to close IPhoto and start again. Before I add the thousand or so photos from our recent travels, I would like to move some of these photos out of IPhoto into my Photo Library on my Imac. Is this the best way to free up capacity? If so, how do I do it? I'd also appreciate any other hints on managing IPhoto capacity. Would adding extra RAM make a real difference? (I already have 1GB of Memory on my Imac.) Apologies if these are obvious questions.......

Essentially, I'm trying to find a way to avoid having IPhoto slow to the point of stopping while I'm working on my photos. When this happens, I close IPhoto and start again. This works fine, until the program slows and stops the next time.
The problem has only arisen since I have had between 8000-9000 photos on IPhoto8 (Initially I used the previous version and upgraded to IPhoto 8 to gain additional capacity). Most photos have been adjusted (exposure, cropping enhanced etc) and I've usually added titles and other details. I was surprised when this problem occurred, as I knew that capacity shouldn't be a problem with IPhoto8.
I have only used about half my available disk space, so that isn't the problem. This is why I thought of increasing the RAM.
Can I delete photos from IPhotos and retain them in the Picture Library? In the short term, this seems to be a possible "work around".
Any other suggestions?

I can import my first clip to the video library, but not the second clip. I tried dragging-dropping and using the "E" key, but only the first clip will show up in the library. I use IMovie 9.0.9 and OSX 10.8.5. with no problems until yesterday.

I can drag my first clip from the New Event window into the Project Library, but not the second. I can highlight the second clip in the New Event window, but it won't "drag". The "E" key works for the first clip, but not the second.I've been using IMovie daily and the problem just appeared. No upgrades to the computer and no new software installed. IMovie 9.0.9 and OSX 10.8.5

Thanks victoryhat. I learned some new things from this very clear tutorial. But it didn't answer my question about why the titles don't stay with the video when I export it.
He did mention something that might be a clue however. When he talked about importing a title he created as an image, he noted that he was careful to make the image the same size as the video he was adding it to: 1280 x 720. Since I took the video with an iPhone in the vertical position, my video image isn't the same size and orientation as the titles.
Maybe there is a way I should be setting the screen for this size??? I'll go back and play around. Meanwhile thanks for alerting me to Gary Rosenzweig's MacMost tutorials. Very clear. I'll look for more.

Imovie will not recognize movie clips in the iphoto library within imovie

I have video clips in IPHOTO that I trimmed (edited) but when I open IMOVIE and go to the IPHOTO library, it does not recognize the edited clip. It still shows the full clip. What do I do?

Install this:

I need to flip a clip in the event library, not timeline. Is that possible?

I have a clip that is upsidedown and want to flip it in the event library and then work on clips. Can I do that? Is all editing available in the event library?
Also, when I flip my upsidedown image in the timeline (not where I wanted to do it), the thumbnails don't flip even after it's done rendering. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks

Hello Luis,
Did what you wrote and it is indeed done. BTW, the timeline which appears when we do this procedure, what of it? Will it be a separate 'project' on the timeline or will it go away once such editing is done?
This is the timeline for that specific clip. In FCP X each clip can be opened in its own timeline.
If you again select the same clip in the event libraryand choose "open in timeline" there you'll have it.

How can I see the first frame of a clip in the Event Library

I slate my shots for a reason, but when I am looking in the Event Library I see a random frame a couple of seconds in to the clip instead of the first frame, how can I set it so I can see the first frame?
Thanks in advance

Switch to filmstrip view and zoom in.

IMovie '11 won't let me detach audio after importing from iPhoto.

The option is gray in the menu. I selected the clip I wanted, but it's still not letting me proceed. Any thoughts?

You are not missing anythng. The way to do it is to select the clip and then go to the Advanced menu and select Extract Audio. That's exactly what you are doing.
If it is not working, then probably your iMovie preferences have become corrupted. I suggest that you try the oft recommended maintenance procedure of deleting preferences and then doing a permissions repair.
To delete preferences, close iMovie and trash the file named com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. Then repair permissions by using the Disk Utility app on your Mac, which is located in the Utilities folder. Click on Disk Utility and then select your hard drive icon located in the pane on the left side of the Disk Utilty window. Then click on repair permissions and wait 3-4 minutes for the permissions to be repaired. Then relaunch iMovie. iMovie will replace the .plist file that you deleted.
Make sure that you have sufficient disk space for iMovie to operate: 20 GB is often recomended on this site.
Make sure that all iLife programs are updated to current.
Hopefully that will solve your problem.

If I buy a new IPod 8g nano will it receive my music from my IPhone the entire library

If I buy the new IPod nano 8g. Can it receive my music wireless from my I phone

You don't say which operating system version you are running, nor which very specific computer model you have, both of which are needed to come up with a solution. Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
For an iPhone5 you will need iTunes 10.7. That requires you be running OSX 10.6.8 or greater. Old Macs cannot run OSX 10.6.8. Something reporting you are up to date while running iTunes 10.6.3 might be one of those Macs and you may have to buy a new computer to use your iPhone5. Once we know the information I requested we can tell for sure.
Installing a new iTunes should not affect the current content. That said, there are monthly reports here from some unlucky person who claims running an update erased their content. You should always (even when not doing updates) back up your computer. Some day your hard drive will unexpectedly die and all your computer content will be lost. Definitely back up before doing updates and you don't have to worry.
