Duplicate Music Videos

I was recently browsing the iTunes Store and noticed many music videos have duplicates.
Example (Better In Time by Leona Lewis):
http://itunes.apple.com/us/music-video/better-in-time/id284620535
http://itunes.apple.com/us/music-video/better-in-time/id303682922
What is the difference? Why are there two?

Hi All,
After unchecking "Sync Music" and resyncing the device there are still some music and videos left over. If I click "Music" on the left under iPhone I have 41 items remaining, half videos half music.
I sync only certain playlist so all the music / Music videos I want will fit, was trying to remove it all and start fresh, but that is not working either.
On the phone when you click "playlist" there is the option for "Purchased" and it contains the 41 items, I deleted the playlist but the songs and music remain and don't see a way to delete items from phone directly.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Joe

  • Duplicate music videos playlist when viewing in shared

    I have two Mac computers. I am trying to sync the two music libraries so they are same.
    I open the iTunes application on each machine and it shows the other library in 'shared'.
    In the playlists of the shared machine I see two called 'Music Videos'. When I go to the prime machine there is only one playlist called 'Music Videos'.
    I see two 'Music Videos' on each machine under shared but there is only one on each of the original machines.
    Where is the other playlist coming from when I view in shared connection?

  • 10.5 iTunes IOS5= iT won't add Purchased, music videos, more duplicates from 8200 to over 12945, i think 80% more than i had before, freeze, purchased items from iTunes should be downloaded again from purchased page in the Store, so reinstalling All my Ap

    Hi,
    After installing iOS5 on iTunes and iPhone, everything went almost smoothly, except activation, which i finally fixed it.
    The issues i am now experiencing are for the most after iOS5 and iTunes 10.5
    No direct connection to Wifi Spot at HOME, ( i don't have a Carrier contract) I have to be really 2 metres near the router to connect, but not with iPad which i didn't update to OS5 yet, My Library problem is everyday i have to upload all my music from my computer, from nearly 2000 songs to really 12945 now!!! most of them duplicates, duplicates!!! Enormous , songs, music videos, and movies, all duplicated !!!
    I bought a software for fixing this problem, but unfortunately not working at all.I stop this way and buy no more softwares.
    I don't really see most of my Apps in iTunes Store=purchased, even though i have to download them everyday, i mean right now 93 are being on download platform, and tomorrow morning, i am not sure to have the 90 Apps on my Library, that in total should be near 600 or more than that.So my kid will ask for one game to play, and i will really have a hard time to find it(iPhone freezes when looking for App Store+update+ Purchased then ALL or Not in the iPhone, it freezes excessively, and when you got one app and push download then you go to iPhone 3, 4 or 5 th page, then rolling back to App Store etc,,,,
    Something is wrong, but i don't know it comes from.
    Back in 2002/3 first i bought the second generation of iPod, i never saw a duplicate song or file, but now it is different.It becomes sort of a challenge to open your iTunes on your Laptop, and you figure out that your Library is Empty, you have to look for Folders, and no Purchased icon under iTunes Store, No Music Videos either!!!
    Somebody has to sort this out Hopefully
    Best Regards

    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background.
    What brand of PC do you have? Sony VIAO is notoriuous for having some software which corrupts the iTunes library.
    If you are routinely generating more and more duplicates in your library then you are adding media in the wrong way. Simply scanning the entire media folder over & over again is a likely cause of problems, particularly if this is a different folder from the one currently set as the iTunes Media folder. Use a tool like iTunes Folder Watch which can scan your media folders, add new files and remove missing ones.

  • How to delete duplicate and triplicate Music Videos in itunes?

    Hi, I have 3 music videos, two of which are in triplicate, and one that is duplicated. How can I delete them? When I have my music video playlist open, delete is not highlighted as a viable "tool" or command to choose (not in dark black/it is grey). In the list, have unchecked all but one of each so dup/ trips won't sync to my Ipod but I need every morsel of memory I can get on this PC. Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
    Thank you, SP

    Hi Alan, I noticed that my music videos were also listed just as music in the library and from there I was able to delete the dup's and trips. Thanks for your information.

  • Music Video artists appearing under Music on iPod

    I have music videos on my iPod that display just fine, and they sort just fine, but the artists that are attributed with the videos are appearing under the Music > Artists section. This is either causing duplicate entries that lead to the same list of albums, or an entry without any albums.
    What's going on?

    It's normal. Because that video file is also an audio file, it shows up under songs, artists, etc., just as any music file would. (And the entries aren't "duplicates," if I'm understanding you correctly. The file is only on your iPod once, it's just accessible from several different menus.) If you want to express to Apple your displeasure with this feature in iTunes, Google Apple feedback iTunes and send them feedback through the form.

  • Help!  I accidentally deleted "music videos" how do I get it back??????

    Help!!! I have been having mega difficulty since upgrading to iTunes 7.4.1---big mistake upgrading to that!!! Anyway I've had numerous problems----in my process to make everything work properly---I noticed I had duplicate listings under "music videos"----when I tried to delete the duplicates it deleted the catagory "music videos"-----they are listed under purchased videos, but I can't find "music videos". Now, as a result I can't put my videos on my iPod---it won't recognize and alternate "music videos" file I placed under playlists. So, how do I get the catagory "music videos" back with my purchased videos listed???? I have Windows Vista Home Premium on a Hewlett Packard computer. Thanks for any and all assistance you can give me.

    Can I still take into consideration re-installing the entire OS?
    You can, but extracting just the QT Player app would be faster.
    I tried using Pacifist to extract the QT X Player but I can't find it.
    When the Pacifist list of extract items is displayed, check the following path...
    Contents of OSInstall.mkpg
       Contents of EssentialsSystemSoftware
          Contents of EssentialSystemsSoftwareGroup
             Contents of Essentials.pkg
                Applications
                   QuickTime Player.app
    I just performed a test extraction from my original Snow Leopard upgrade installer disc and had no problems using this path.

  • Duplicate music albums and song listing after updating to iOS 5

    Anyone else seeing duplicate music albums in carousel mode?  After updating to iOS 5 i notice a few albums have duplicate albums or song listing.
    I have 1 album thats duplicated 8 times in carousel mode and twice in album listing, none are excalty the same. Example 8 albums, each either holds all the songs or part of the album. Duplicate albums would 3-4 of the same songs, although there is only one file when viewing thru itunes.
    Any answers would help, thanks

    Thanks but i just tired that ad it didnt work either. All my albums are in order with tracks, artist, disc and etc. Never had a problem with this when i was on iOS 4.
    Additional Note: Videos no longer continue where i left off even though the option to do so has been selected.
    Anyone experiencing lag on their Touch Gen4? Like shutter sound when you put the screen to sleep takes a second after the button is pressed which use to be instant.
    Apple...got any take on these matters?

  • I click on one music video but a different one plays

    I just downloaded a music video from the iTunes store, and I tried to play it. When I clicked on the thumbnail in iTunes, a different music video from my library played. I tried this for more than a dozen different music videos in my library, and in every case I ended up seeing a different video.
    This does not happen with TV shows or music videos--the thumbnail matches the content for those.
    Has anyone else experienced something similar to this?

    Every image is stored in one and in only one Project.  That is the special relationship between images and Projects.  Your question re: showing all Projects for an image, does not make sense.
    Have you experimented with a List View showing Project Name and Project Path?  If your duplicate images have identically named Versions or Masters, you could sort by that name and then see at a glance what Projects they are in.
    Is there any common characteristic to the duplicates?  Can you simply delete all the ones created by iPhoto?  All the ones with no adjustments made in Aperture?
    There are too many ways to group and sort images in Aperture to know what to recommend without additional information about the task you are trying to accomplish.  What created all the dupes?  Where did they come from?  Are they identical in every way except Project location?

  • Music Video Editing 101

    I posted this a few years back - before it rolled off the end of the discussions, I moved it to Dave Slater's ProAppTips.com which is currently in limbo due to hacker problems, but he retrieved the text for me and I thought it might be handy to post now. I should update it for using MultiClips, but they can be problematic, depending on how the video was shot and the timing/overlap of the coverage available (see: MultiCam and Music Videos). For now, I'll just post it as it was originally written.
    _*Music video editing 101*_
    Although I've cut probably over 250 music videos, this is only how I work. What works for you may be entirely different and more productive for you. I am not here to champion these techniques and I invite anyone else to post how they do it.
    Okay down to business. Digitizing material: I capture all the available material, preferably in 20-30 minute chunks. Among other things, the large chunks can come in handy if there is a discrepancy between the timecode on the offline tapes and the master tapes. I watch the material as it comes in and note anything of interest (cool shots, etc). After capture, I go thru and put markers at the start of each take and scene. I'll go into the philosophy of logging/overlogging later.
    Now, music videos can most often be divided into two sections - performance and concept (or story). The first thing to tackle is the performance. Not only is this locked to the areas of the song being performed (barring cheating choruses or other repeating stuff), but it helps you to know where you want to put the story (which is where your performance coverage is the weakest).
    How I cut performance is this. First, I try to pick a good overall base take of performance - this is often a wider shot that covers the whole band. I usually have chosen this take while watching the material as I capture. I put the master audio in the sequence and cut this video take onto V1. This is because I find it easier to cut into something rather than cut a shot into black. Now I go back and start at the first take and hopefully there was a smart slate used, but however I do it, I get the take lined up so that the frame in the viewer is at the same point in the song as the frame in the canvas, then set gang sync (I have a this mapped to a keypress).
    I then play what I have in the viewer until I see something I like. Now, because I've ganged the edit with this take, it's been following along, so I can quickly pop over to see what is at that point in my edit and see if what I just saw in the take looks better. If it does, I cut it in, If not, I can ignore it, or cut it onto V2/V3/V4, etc and set its visibility off (ctrl-b). Why would I do that? Maybe later I need to change the shot because the singer doesn't like himself from that side, or I need more shots of the drummer, or I've changed the edit and the shot doesn't work anymore, or maybe I'll be able to cheat it in at another point of the song. The point is, I'm going thru the material now and I might as well save anything I like so I won't have to look for it later. Tossing it onto a higher video track keeps it in sync with where it should fall in the song.
    Now go I back and keep playing the take and when I see the next thing I like, repeat the process. I continue this until I've finished the take. Then I repeat this for all takes. It's time consuming, but I've found it to be the only way to ensure you've given due consideration to all the material and you can say you have the strongest performance in your edit. And your goal is to make a performance cut so tight that it will be painful to give up areas of it to concept. I also keep a bin/sequence of non-sync cutaways - maybe a drum hit, maybe a look from the lead singer, maybe a bass riff. These are important to your cut, but you can treat them like concept - i.e. you can put them anywhere you need to.
    When you've finished your performance cut, duplicate your sequence (You might also have done this during stages of your performance cut, just to keep backups). The reason you want to now is to always have a pure performance cut to go back to.
    Now consider the concept. Sometimes it warrants cutting it all together as a story complete, other times it will only function as cutaways or it illustrates specific lines in the song, etc. However you get the concept organized, the performance cut will provide a roadmap as to where to place the concept. Sometimes it's blatantly obvious (like you have no performance for a certain area), other times (if you've done a good job on the performance cut) it will be a struggle to find where to put it. I always keep my performance on its own layer/s and add a new layer for the concept. This is to allow ease of re-arranging the story. If you have it on its own layer, you won't need to replace the missing performance if you shift the concept around, you'll just reveal the existing (wonderfully tight) performance below.
    I could go on and on about this, but those are the basics. As to timing, I usually allow myself 2 days for capture and performance cut. Third day is concept. Fourth day massaging the overall edit. Send off that night for comments. Fifth day is changes from artist/label/management. Lather, rinse, repeat.
    Finally a bit about logging of footage. When I first started editing, it was on a linear, tape-based system. So I had a wall of thermal printouts to guide me to my selects and whenever I needed a specific shot, it usually involved a lot of shuttling thru tape. An inevitable beneficial fallout of this work flow is that I'd often find a better shot than the one I was searching for, simply because I had to shuttle to find my intended shot.
    This fostering of happy accidents was lost when I started editing non-linear. Because I could instantly go where ever I wanted, I only ever found what I wanted and lost a certain spontaneity to my edits. They became more predictable. It took me a little while to realize this and to come up with some solutions.
    First of all, I don't overlog footage. None of this clips named "The one where Jack finds the beans and discovers the true meaning of friendship in wide shot with the cow OOF over his right shoulder (sky has clouds)". I make it so I always know where to find my shot, but not so I can just get there without shuttling a bit. Also, I try to keep a sequence of selects. Shots that I like, but haven't found a use for yet. Thats where I always go to find a shot I need - that way, shuttling thru the sequence, I am exposed to shots that I know are good and may be better than the shot I think I am looking for.
    Anyone else want to post their work flow?
    Patrick

    Great workflow Patrick. The one main thing missing that I use in music video editing is the grouping of multiclips to group all of your performance takes into one clip. For those that haven't used this then you have access to all performance takes at any given point in the song. This is handy as you might have 50 to 100 takes on some videos. The thing that makes a grouping of multiclips easy is the use of a timecode slate and an audio master (though aux code grouping can be done without it). You then assign an auxiliary timecode to each take and group your mulitclip by that. In avid land I subclip a masterclip by takes. Unfortunately Apple has done a really dumb thing in FCP. When you make subclips from a master clip and assign auxiliary timecode it will ripple the aux code of other subs from the master clip. Completely useless for music video. The solution is to capture each take in its own master clip but that is a long and tedious log that for me is totally not needed for a music video. I wish Apple would address this (it as been discussed in this thread) but it has been unchanged since the introduction of multiclips. That's why I always cut my music videos in Avid.

  • Advice - Music video and timecode

    I'm trying to edit a music video that has a timecode reference that I made in FCP played back on an ipod in front of the camera at the head and tail of each shot (as a timecode slate).
    I've been able to use this timecode to easily sync individual shots with my editing timeline, but I was thinking that multiclip editing might be an easier option if I could alter the camera timecode on each clip to reflect the playback timecode. I know that I can multiclip footage using in and out points, but since many of my shots are just short inserts scattered throughout the run-time of the video, there won't be a lot of shots that have the same in and out points.
    Can I easily change the timecode for my clips to match the song (or the ipod reference, specifically)? Or will the various clips sync up regardless of their different in and out points?
    I hope my post made sense. I'd be happy to clarify, if you need any more information.

    This should work. I've done it, on a less complicated project. There maybe better workflows and hopefully someone will pipe up if there are.
    Create a sequence with all your material synched up using different video tracks. Where ever there is a change in the clip "structure" add edits to all tracks where edits don't already exist. Be sure and duplicate the sequence so you have a reference. Drag each section to a new bin in the browser and use these clips to create a multiclip. Then replace that section with the multiclip using the in point for synching.
    If this isn't clear, post back and I'll try and go into more detail.

  • First project completed with FCPX Music Video

    I just finished up my first project with FCPX
    Its a music video for one of my songs.
    I shot and edited the video myself with the help of wife and daughter. The video has since gone off to
    a video production house, to transfer to broadcast format for here in Australia (digital beta) and its on its way to TV stations for broadcast.
    I have very very little experience with video, and had only just gotten FCPX a couple of weeks before along with
    the new canon hfs 20 which i used to shoot the video. It was a whirlwind learning curve 8).
    I learned plenty about what not to do the next time I make one. 8)
    I got some really great help here on the forum and wanted to say thanks, I wouldnt have been able to do it without it.
    www.ozlandmusic.com
    is my website where you can see the video.
    I have no previous experience as I said with video editing, before FCPX and found the process reasonably intuitive.
    It was great to be able to sync the video and audio together..and the effects in FCPX were easy to use, as was keyframing which
    i didnt even know existed a couple of weeks back 8)
    I really like the product. I am happy with how the video turned out, and I am looking forward to making a better one next time.
    Again thanks for the help
    cheers
    Wiz

    Thanks everyone for the kind words.
    re first bit of video editing...8)
    well, I had used iMovie a couple of times to transfer VHS tapes to DVD and sony home studio once about 4 years ago, and I used windows movie maker once.... but I had never done any "editing" so I take your comment as a compliment.
    I literally have no more experience than that.  I guess its a testament to how easy FCPX is to use for someone new. I found the things like keyframing, very intuitive, and I have a strong audio background (logic, cubase, sonar etc) and have run a recording studio for many years. So I applied the same sort of techniques to video ediiting, eg look at other peoples work, and try and work out how they do what they do, and then try and duplicate it. There are a wealth of training videos available, and I watched a heap of those, within the first couple of weeks (you tube videos) about how to do things like keyframing, color correction, effects, transform etc.
    I certainly am not trying to portray myself as a newbie, whilst secretly having years of experience.  I honestly only just started and I hope you can take me at face value.
    Just wanted to clear that up.
    Again thanks everyone for your support and well wishes. Perhaps some day I can repay some of that to the group.
    cheers

  • This is my first time using FCPX and I just completed editing a music video. What are the last things I have to do to get the best quality out of my video before I try to upload it to youtube?

    I want my music video to look as crisp as possible. I was wondering if there were an tricks or tips that needs to be done before i upload it to youtube. This will be my first time uploading anything to youtube so im not sure. also what does rendering mean? and compressing? thanks

    Best quality = "master file" export. You can export said file and store it where ever you like.
    But quality "out" depends on what you put "in." You can never "improve" on the quality during the edit process. If you had low quality H.264 files to begin with, that's the best it's gonna get. If you had HQ ProRes422 or even 4444... (which is "above" 2k HD quality) those are great. And the output will be rich. But most likely, you will have to compress that file to exhibit it. (I'll get to that later.)
    Now, when you share to YouTube, you will be limited on quality. They have a prescribed bit-rate and compression. (Even though they do offer 1080p.)
    Now, you will NOT be able to share a "master" file to YouTube. Much too big.
    Luckily, in the share options, FCPX has an option for "YouTube." It does all the compression for you. BTW: This is awesome. It finds your account and does the "posting" for you. It's simple.
    Rendering = calculations made on various effects. A non linear editor has to build files for some effects... dissolves, moves, filters, etc, etc. The software does "math" and crunches numbers--to make your image animate across the screen, example. This is called "rendering." Depending on your preferences, this is done for you.
    Now when you output or "share," rendering is done for you automatically. If you choose to see how an effect will look "smoothed out," you can choose to render a file on the fly.
    Compression means just that. Video files are, by nature, huge... billions of O's and 1's. To make them flow thru various pipelines (the electronic infrastruture) most files are compressed--or made smaller. Basically, some of the duplicate O's and 1's are taken out. (It's much more complicated than that, I'm givng a laypersson's definition.) The more you compress, the less quality you get. The picture begins to look "jig-jagged" or pixelated. There is less detail in the picture.
    When you go to "share" to YouTube, FCPX will do this compression for you, up to (or should I say, "down to") YouTube's specs.

  • My iphone wont let me play songs that I bought from iTunes. It says "The requested URL was not found on this server" How can i play my music also my music videos again?

    I bought a few songs and music videos from iTunes, then all of a sudden it wouldn't play and would just skip to the next song. With the music videos it would do the same. Also, this message would show up " The Requested URL could not be found on this server" What does that exactly mean? And what do I need to do to play my music/videos again?

  • My ipod and itunes is no longer showing the music videos i purchased..

    im pretty new with ipods and my ipod and itunes arent showing the two music videos i had on there. Even the songs that went with the music videos are no longer on the itunes or my ipod. how do i fix this?
    60 gb video   Windows XP  

    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             

  • How do I get Music Video's to play in iTunes on iPad Mini with Shuffle option on Playlists (it's only playing the music not video's)?

    Hi. I have got Music Video's on iPad Mini on a Playlist on iTunes. When I use 'shuffle' option the audio of the track is heard but no video is played (only a 'still' from the video). When using the Video option on the desktop, plays videos but does not allow you to 'playlist' them or shuffle them. I can shuffle Music Video playlist on iPhone and on PC. So why not on iPad Mini. Can someone help? Thanks

    There does not appear to ba a facilty for this on the iPad. However there are a number of apps that will allow you to create and play video playlists. Try VP Lite which is free.
