Disappearing DV25 clip video

Hi there....
Had a interesting situation develop with FCS 5 and our Quad G5 system, all footage on a external FW800 drive, latest OS and 8Gig of RAM....
Editing a DV25 project (NTSC-DV 720x480) project sequence[s] lost all video (bin and sequences), audio however was retained. I closed the project reopened, same... shut the system down, booted after 30 minutes, the same -- few hours later, video re-apppeared in ALL project sequence clips (note: ALL video in this project is DV25)
This has never happened before. Anyone else experience this?
Thanks
David Healy

That is strange.
FWIW, after our similar problem we did what we usually do when confronted with general weirdness.
Trashed FCP Preferences with FCP Rescue.
Gave the drives a going over with Disk Warrior (directories were very fragmented)
Deleted render files and re-rendered.
I still don't know exactly why it happened but it's running fine now. If I had to guess I'd say Disk Warrior was what fixed it up. I think it's an indispensable utility for FCP drives. Often helps, never hurts and has saved many a butt more than once. If you don't have it you should get it... well worth the investment.
Good Luck

How can I permanently clip video without changing filmstrip order?

I have just recently upgraded from LR1.4 to 4.2 (Windows 7 OS) and one of the features I am most excited about is being able to work with video in LR. I started clipping videos but I know LR is non-destructive. This is great for my photography but with videos I am trying to actually make the files smaller by saving only the footage that I want. So I exported to the original folder and figured I could then just delete the original unclipped file and be all set. Only problem is the exported file now appears at the end of my filmstrip since it is dated today. If I stack it it goes with the original file, but since I was planning on deleting the original file that wont help me. This is different from the way photos behave (though I'm not exporting generally there, I'm editing a copy in photoshop, and that keeps the capture time metadata and thus stays in its appropriate spot in the filmstrip). I tried copying metadata from the original file or even manually changing capture time but nothing seems to be effective. Please help!

I use a much, much older iMovie so I don't know exactly how the new one works, but until somebody else replies... It may be re-encoding the whole .mp4 since some formats cannot be edited without doing that, and you would need to check something like format and quality settings to prevent it from saving to a much higher quality which won't actually make the quality any better than the original anyway.

Problem to import clips video with "Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader", my mini ipad and my camcorder?

I need import immediatly my clips video from my camcorder in my mini ipad with my SD card.
Solution: I have to use "Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader"
Problem: When i insert my Sd card in the "Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader", my mini ipad don't recognize the sd card... And i'm sure the format of clips video is accepted by ipad (specs).
I know why my mini ipad don't recognize the sd card... Because the directory where my camcorder put the clips video on the SD card is not accepted by "Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader". After some research, this device accept only the video in "DCIM" directory.
So my question: WHO KNOW WHICH CAMCORDER CAN BE ACCEPTED BY "Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader" WITH CORRECT VIDEO FORMAT (SPECS) AND CORRECT WRITING DIRECTORY "DCIM"?
Thanx for your help!!!!!

Since the ipad is not a computer it cannot be expected to behave as such. The resources are limited and so are the capabilities. Some things will work just fine but others will not. You have to be willing to make some compromises and accept some of the limitations, otherwise you will end up being frustrated. Maybe another device will better suite your needs.

Can I clip videos without compression in Lightroom?

I have a bunch of high definition *.mov files from my DSLR. Each is a few minutes long and each has one or two short (about 15 second) clips that I would like to keep. My ideal workflow would be to create a virtual copy of the video for every clip I want and then export each of these without losing any video quality. I know I can export to *.mp4 at maximum quality, but I find there is still a loss of quality. In particular the color is dull in the exported clip. I would simply like to clip the video without changing the format, but the only other option in Lightroom seems to be to export the entire video, which is of course not what I want. Given that my camera can clip videos in this manner, I figure LR should be able to also.
If I can't do this in LR, can I do it with some other Adobe product?

I think that if you are satisfied with the final quality of your DVD image there is no reason to change the settings. You can adjust to higher bitrates in the settings, but most probably you'll get playback problems in your distributed DVDs.
If your image is good now, no reason to change it just to take more space !

Clips videos on panoramic view (instead of new coverflow) ?

Hy Guys,
(Sorry for my bad english).
I used to play lot of musical clip videos on iPhone 4S ios 6.1.3, and i played them in panoramic mode. Since i install ios 7 it just possible to play in very small view with buttons. When i turn the iPhone i've got the coverflow with all albums instead.
Is it the same for every one? Could we retrieve this function?

Well thank you for asking Julien !
I have the same trouble since updating to ios7 and I was wondering if I was the only one troubled about that. Now we are two !!
How can Apple sell musical videos on Itunes and not enable watching them full screen on the iPhone ?
Plus, when you are listening to music with the iPhone in the horizontal position (ie : in the car, using GPS), you don"t have the music control anymore which is REALLY annoying.

Best free app to clip videos

I tried in imovie but the video file I wanted to clip is an episode so 40 mins long... it started lagging so I was wondering if there was a free program to clip video files for imovie.

There are several apps allowing to edit (is that was you mean by 'clip'?) video.
The QuicktimeX player app for example allows to trim clips....
open your file, hit cmd-T and select the portion of the clip you like to keep.

Hi, I'm using imovie 11, I want to delete a clip video at the end of the project, but keep the audio, everytime I delete the video, the audio is also deleted, please help!

Hi, Excuse my English, I'm using imovie 11, I want to delete a clip video at the end of the project, but keep the audio over the fade to black, everytime I delete the video, the audio is also deleted, please help!

I assume you are trying to end the clip/project with a fade to black, or something that just doesn't cut so instant.
One thing i'm thinking you can try is to Add a "Transition Clip" to the end, and try your first method. (with Detached Audio + Delete Selection. (Yellow highlight was deleted selection) Do you need something to end like this?
If you can, put screenshot up (Shift+Comm+4), if i'm not on the right idea. It seems like an easy fix, with a few ways of doing it. You can also add a blank image to end project, sub titles or Add,Cutaway fade +Opacity adjust.

Disappearing web clip from dashboard, yet sound remains

Wow this forum is amazingly helpful.
I have one more little bug on my laptop. I made a web clip of a youtube video just to try out the feature and put it on my dashboard. Once I was on the dashboard I clicked that small "i" in the bottom right corner. Now usually that makes the clip flip over and you can edit it. This one flipped and disappeared all of a sudden. Now I wouldn't be bugged if any other clipping disappeared. However the sound from the video of the youtube clip remained. So now every time I go to the dashboard and if I am online the sound will go on from the video. I tried adding another clip to see if flipping that one will make it disappear as well, but it just nicely flipped and I was able to edit it. Also when I clicked that x in the bottom left corner to show me the rest of the widgets I was able to delete this last clip that i added. However the first one that disappeared still wouldn't show up.
Is there anyway to make it show up or reset the dashboard?
Thank you in advance

delete com.apple.dashboard.plist and widget-com.apple.widget.web-clip.plist from
username/Library/Preferences and log out/in. This should do it.

Audio disappears when using video fx

Two questions
1) The audio track (purple line) disappears whenever I try to use any video effect.
When I undo the video effect, the audio returns. What is the problem?
2) Even though I have checked View . Show audio wave form. It just remains
a thin purple line in the Timeline.
How come it never changes. Could it all be related to the first question?
I really need to darken a couple of clips , but I can't seem to do it without losing the sound. Thanks for any help.

Hi
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• *Delete iMovie pref file* - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
iMovie pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named. com.apple.iMovie.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
• *Free space* on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. *Repair Permissions*, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
• Third party Plug-Ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
iMovie updated ?
QuickTime updated ?
Mac OS version ?
• Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

I run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac.

Audio disappears from clips after moving them around in between track Premiere

I was working with multiple video clips and movement them around not paying attention to how it was overlapping the audio sometimes. When I finally finished my audio from alot of the clips I cropped have disappeared.
How do I get/link them back?
Videos are Estill there just no sound

I'm guessing you accidentally overlayed some of them while you were working.
A quick way to fix this is to put your playhead (CTI) over a clip you want to add the sound back to, select it, and then press 'f' to match frame back to the original. This will load the original clip with the in and out marks set in your source window and you can drag it down to overlay the clip with the missing audio. This will replace the original clip and audio.

How do I stop a mask from disappearing mid clip? I want it to stay still till the end but I can't figure out how or why it keeps going away.

I have a shot where a man turns to the camera while 3 people stand in the background out of focus. Behind them is a large window that looks out onto a bunch of junk lying around. Because green screening was impossible the window was supposed to be masked out and a space background added in. I did this, but found that after about 16 frames all of the mask just disappears. Is there any way to keep a mask permanently locked into its shape throughout its entire clip?

There was a lot of info when I opened up the layers, so there are a ton of screenshots.

Cursor disappears when a video using Flash is in Safari

Hello,
My cursor disappears whenever I'm on a web page (using Safari) that uses Flash for video. It is 100% repeatable on any Flash/video website. On my other machine (an iMac running Snow Leopard) this does not happen.
If you would like to see what I'm talking about, as an example, go here:
http://vimeo.com/
Let the page load so that the "introductory" video can play. While it's playing, move your cursor anywhere on top of the video that's playing and watch it disappear. It's hard to find it again.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
(I'm using a MacBook Pro. Operating system is 10.7.1 Lion. All software updates are complete. The battery is charged, the computer is turned on, and it is plugged into electricity. I did a search of this forum and found one other question regarding this same topic, but nobody had answered it.)

The behaviour I get is that if the cursor is left on top of the video, it disappears after a second or two. As soon as I move the mouse or trackpad, it reappears. Which is exactly what I would want to happen. Perhaps when you are "waking up" the cursor you are doing so with a large random movement of the trackpad? It only takes the slightest movement to make it reappear more or less where you left it.
There is, of course, always the option of parking the cursor somewhere else on the screen where you will not lose it.

Disappearring music and videos from my iPad

Every since I purchased and downloaded the entire Beattle catalog several days ago, my iPad iTunes has acted up. Music and videos disappeared from my iPad only to reappear when resyncing. After my last resync i began a businss trip without my MBP that I use for syncing. . As before, my music disappeared and reappeared several times, sometimes partially, sometimes not. In between I would redownload my music only to have the music reappear with multiple copies.
Now a tv show I purchased from iTunes store several weeks ago and was watching last night has disappeared.
Any idea what's happening and what the solution is?
And by the way how can you delete music that's in the download queue in tunes on the iPad. Not pause but delete.
Thanks.

You need to copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.
The music sync is one way -computer to ipad. The exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

Lost images/sound clips/video when changing langua...

i've never had this problem or any similar problems in the 4 months i've had this phone. today i changed the language from english to tagalog (pilipino), and when the phone restarted it had deleted all of my images (bar one), videos and sound clips (bar one). that's all i've noticed it has deleted so far, my messages and contacts are still there. i've never had problems with it prior to this happening... is there any way of recovering the data?

I've also got same problem. Interestingly enough, background music added to DVDs title page plays OK on the burned CD (everything previews perfectly). However, go to 'play' the burned DVD, and while the video is there, the audio tracks are silent. Source material is an iMove project, and audio tracks are all AIFF files.
Also tried physically burning the DVD with Disk Utility. DVD burns OK, but on playback (both on home stereo DVD player, and on Mac), title slide and background music works fine, but after selecting to play the movie, the audio tracks are all gone... only silence This is with burning directly from iDVD, or by saving the project as an img file, and then burning it to DVD via Disk Utility.
Any clues appreciated!
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.10)
