Easiest way to create and manage several videos on top of each other

I want to have one video pay for 10 seconds
I then want 40% reduced version to play on a loop on the top left
Below it, there should be 2 further videos side by side - each 20% size
Below these 2, there should be another 2 videos side by side each 20% size
What's the best way of doing the above?
Just using the timeline is super fiddly trying to adjust videos
Maybe use compound clips?
Any advice would be great
Thanks

aside creating a template in Motion5, I would recommend to use the Info pane.
I'm a huge fan of mouse/MagicTrackpad, but using FCPX now for quite a while, I learned THIS app needs widely use of the keyboard.
have a look:
as an example:
four inserts, 'nicely' arranged  … and there's a 'scheme':
in the info pane, you'll notice the same numbers, again and again:
all inserts 33% in size - type it in = all same size.
all inserts are at '300' and '140' - due to the coordinates in use in FCPX,
it just varies in +plus and -minus signs/preface
so, once you have found your layout, round-up (no huge diff. btw -133.68/141.7 and -130/140 ), note your number-scheme; instead of dragging around handles, type your values - fast & precice. And easy.
another option: copy/paste attributes cmd-shift-v .... if your inserts have to appear all at the same position

  • What is the easiest way to create and share photo/video gallery or slide show with family via web?

    I am brand new to Lightroom (converted from Aperture) and made the conversation mainly because I thought that Adobe would bring many more options and because Apple has discontinued development of Aperture. Part of the reason I am asking this question is because there is so much information out there on this subject that it is overwhelming and actually is making it difficult to determine the best way to simply arrange my photos/videos into a slideshow and then to publish somewhat of a gallery or slideshow to show family and friends in other states. 
    I do not like publishing things to Facebook/etc.  Too public.  I just want a simple, efficient way to create a gallery with music and have a link I can send to my family (they all live in another state). 
    Any help narrowing this down for me would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    RJ Chesterton

    an airport extreme base station would do the job, it has several ethernet ports for use by non-wireless devices, allows connecting a usb printer to share, and supports both pc and mac via wireless
    config is via a dedicated set-up utility
    however, you can always connect the printer to the mac or pc and share it that way, so having this support in the base station isn't essential
    a much cheaper unit from netgear etc. (such as the netgear wgr614) would offer the other features, be far more compact, and allow configuration via web browser, which might be a factor if you need to give 'remote support'
    i've got both airport and netgear wireless devices, imho for non-technical users the netgear is simpler than the airport due to the web browser configuration

  • What is the easiest way to create and manage very big forms?

    I need to create a form that will contain few hundred questions. Could you please give me some advise on what is the easiest way to do that? I mean for example is it easier to create everything in Word (since it is easier to manage) and than create a form based on that?
    My concern is that when I will have a very big form, containing different kinds of questions and with many scripts, managing it during work will be slow and difficult, for example adding a question in the middle of the form which would require moving half of the questions down which could smash the layout etc.
    What is the best practise for that?
    Thanks in advance

    Try using Table and Rows for this kind of forms. These forms will have the same look throught with a question and and answer section..
    In the future if you want to add a new section, you can simply add rows in between..
    Thanks

  • Can aim users and .mac users video/audio chat with each other?

    today was a crazy day with ichat. two of my friends were able to video chat 1 on 1. my mac is qualified to handle 3-way or 4-way chats. when they invite me, the bubble pops up. i hit accept and the loading spindle keeps on spinning for minutes until it just denies me entrance. they get an error saying i never accepted, so as soon as they invite me, they don't get any other response back.
    could it be that i am on the AIM network and both of them are on the .mac network?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   1.8ghz, 1.5gig ram, 3rd party camcorder, latest iChat. router installed.

    can aim users and .mac users video/audio chat with each other?
    Yes. Apple does not have its own publicly available IM service; iChat uses the AIM network, and there are few functional differences between AIM and .Mac screen names. If they are using a client other than iChat, there may be interoperability issues with audio and video chats, or the other client may not support those types of chatting.

  • On the top left of my computer screen there are what look like the bottom half of small grey and white squares stacked on top of each other. They form a line about three inches long and I cant seem to get rid of them.  Is my computer dying or being hacked

    On the top left of my computer screen there are what look like the bottom half of small grey and white squares stacked on top of each other. They form a line about three inches horizontally along the top and they cover half of the regualr bar (so half of the apple sign int he corner is covered) and I cant seem to get rid of them.  Is my hardrive crashing or being hacked?

    I have never seen DEVELOP on the menu bar for Safari, hence my query regarding testing. 
    What OS are you using and what version of Safari?
    If you want to check your HDD, Open Disk Utilities>First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
    The only remedy that I can think of that may work is an OS reinstall.
    I seriously doubt that your MBP is being hacked.

  • Using RH10 - what's the easiest way to create and save HTML code as a snippet for later re-use?

    I am using RH10 to maintain and update several WebHelp projects for customer-facing Internet applications. I am noticing inconsistencies in css and html so I would like to create several snippets for later re-use.  My wishlist, so far:  FAQ page with internal bookmarks, product image with table of callouts, and basic page template with corporate header and footer. What's the easiest way to save / export a page that I want to use later as a snippet? Thank you.

  • What's the best way to import and manage iPhone video?

    I don't really want to use iPhoto for importing video - it doesn't seem like it's built with that in mind even though it's the default option for importing both photos and videos. It doesn't have very good (if any) options for filtering just videos or just photos, either when viewing or importing. And I don't want to have videos all jumbled in with photos in my iPhoto library.
    I also don't really want to use iMovie every time I want to import videos. I know it's designed for video, but it's far more of an editing app than a management app and I don't want to be editing all my videos or loading up iMovie just to browse them.
    I considered Clipstart but it commits a cardinal sin when it renames all my videos in the Finder to a sequential numbering that begins at 01.mov for each new day, creating hundreds and thousands of identically titled movies in the video library, albeit in their own folders, but chaos if you want to search in Spotlight or anything.
    So I'm left with Image Capture, which gives me complete control of what I import and where it goes. The problem is that it too doesn't offer a filter for seeing just the videos or just the photos on my iPhone. My photos are all being imported automatically by Photostream so I only want to grab the videos. If I set 'view by width' it seperates out the videos because they have no width tag, but then they aren't displayed by date order so I can't easily find the new videos I've not imported before.
    So... what do you do?

    That's exactly the sort of crafty workaround I like. I didn't know they were all tagged, but that would definitely work. I'd still love a dedicated app that did it really well, or more love given to that side of things in iPhoto. iMovie is too hefty for just managing them.
    Is iPhoto properly built to handle management of iPhone video, by the way? I didn't want to use it because it didn't seem like it was, and also because I sync my iPhoto library with Dropbox and video would more than treble the size of the library so I manage it from the Finder mostly, importing clips to iMovie if I do want to edit something (rarely).

  • Is there a way to create and edit a video in portrait mode / 9:16 in Premiere Elements 12 or 13. Playback on an iPhone in portrait position.

    I'm editing iPhone app video for posting as the first screen in the Apple app store. Required size for the video is 750:1334, 9:16. I there a way to setup the initial video in portrait mode? Many posts for how to rotate a specific clip, but I need the whole video in portrait position. How to accomplish this? I'm using Windows 7 and Premiere Elements 12 and now 13.

    LaurieFrick
    Thanks for giving this portrait Edit area monitor shape a look.
    I have Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 8.1 64 bit and have done the work using Premiere Elements 12/12.1 on Windows 7 64 bit.
    Here is a step by step
    Find the DSLR [email protected] file
    Local Disk C\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 12\Settings\SequencePresets\NTSC\DSLR\1080p\
    And, in that 1080p Folder is the DSLR 1080p30@ 29.97.sqpreset file that you seek.
    1. Copy the
    DSLR 1080p30@ 29.9.sqpreset fileI
    and paste it to the computer desktop in a newly created folder named 1920p.
    2. Open the 1920p Folder and edit the ..sqpreset file in Notepad.
    To do that right click the .sqpreset, and, from the pop up, select Open With and then Notepad.
    3. In the Notepad document, you are going to edit in only 2 places for now, switching 1920 and 1080 to 1080 and 1920 at the top and bottom
    sections of the Notepad document.
    Then go specifically File Menu/Save of the Notepad document and hit Save.
    4. At this point, you have the edited.sqpreset file in the 1920p Folder on the computer desktop.
    (Change the name of the edited .sqpreset file so that it = DSLR [email protected])
    Move the 1920p Folder from there to add it to the 1080p Folder, the location where you found the original .sqpreset file that you edited.
    Close out of there.
    5. Back in the Premiere Elements 12/12.1, manually set the project preset to the new project preset
    6. When you import your 1080 x 1920 9:16 video file into the project and drag it into the Timeline, you should see
    Note that there is no orange line over that Timeline content, indicating that you are seeing
    the best possible preview of the image.
    7. As I wrote before,
    But, here is the hang up. If I render the Timeline content to get the best possible preview at the Edit level, the video in the Edit area monitor
    squeezes in resulting in black borders to the left and right of the video image on screen.
    But, otherwise I found I had no problems editing or exporting, just had to keep away from Timeline rendering for previewing after an edit. Need to find the missing ingredient for 100%.
    I will be writing this up in my blog in a more organized fashion including how I got the project preset description in Change Settings to agree with the changes. Probably I will do that in the morning.

  • Can you layer several images on top of each other, like in Photoshop?

    I was wondering if it's possible to use layers to make a mashup from multiple images into a single image? Or even create a blank fixed size image, and "fit" other images into that fixed size (useful for making wallpapers for various screen sizes, or avatars for message boards)?

    Aperture is a digital photography organization and development tool; it is not a graphics package.  (It does not do compositing.)  Aperture is used by photographers to store and develop photographs taken with digicams: you take a picture, you use Aperture to organize your collection of files created by your digicams, and you use Aperture to make any single picture as good as it can be for any particular need(s) -- and then you export a file from Aperture and use that in other programs to create graphics such as mash-ups, collages, posters, catalogs, etc.

  • How do I Create and Manage one library for several computers

    As our family has grown over the years, we have 4 kids and 6 macs and duplicate images scattered thought all the separate computers in their own libraries. Is there a way to create and manage one central library that all computers access? That way we can reduce the headaches when we need an image and have to go to each computer and search it's library. Not to mention when we need to jump on a computer and it doesn't happen to be the one we have our library on and need to download our pictures and they end up forever lost on a different computer.

    You cannot share a library over the network, since a library needs to be on a locally mounted volume, but you can put a shared library onto a "sneaker drive" and plug it into each of your mad in turn, see Apple's support document:
    iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users  http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201517
    iPhoto does not support to merge libraries. But iPhoto Library Manager can.
    You can download it here:   http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/
    See : http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/Help/merging%20libraries.html
    Or, if you have Aperture, you can use it to merge libraries. Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries

  • Any way i can create and manage SharePoint 2013 workflows in browser.

    Guys,
    is there any way i can created and manager sharepoint 2013 workflows in browser like Nintex lets you do. This will eliminate the need for sharepoint designer.
    thanks
    MM

    No. SharePoint's work flows are created from SharePoint Designer or Visual Studio. Third party solutions like Nintex have other approaches.

  • What is the Easiest way to create a playlist?

    What is the easiest way to create a playlist without going through all 1500 in my iTunes?  I know some artists I want all their songs.......others I don't.

    I have WMP on my computer and know you can quite easily make playlists within it.
    Then if you connect your player to the computer and drag and drop the playlist into the sync
    screen you should then be able to transfer it to the player.
    Not tried this way as I always use Zen Media Explorer for making playlists.
    Gi've it a try-you have nothing to lose.

    The first link is Encore CS5 help. It is a good beginning.  I'm not sure if the tutorial it links to is the same as my second link.  The AE help link below is also useful.
    CS5 allows creation of buttons in AE, but for plain navigation options, I think it is just as easy to add in Encore or Photoshop.

  • Can I create and manage collections in itunes instead of on the ipad?

    Can I create and manage collections in itunes instead of on the ipad? I have hundreds (maybe thousands) of PDF files for technical work items that I need to categorize and use on my ipad but it is a bit cumbersome to manually move them one at a time on the ipad.

    While you can add pdf files to iTunes it is not really intended to be used for organizing things other than a music collection.  It will only accept PDF files and media (audio, movie) files.  On the other hand if you can creatively come up with a way to make it work for you then go for it.

  • An easy way to  download and convert YouTube videos to MP3 on Mac

    An easy way to download and convert YouTube videos to MP3 on Mac
    I’m always attracted by the wonderful YouTube video files, and can’t help myself extracting the amazing audios to save them as MP3 to playback on my iPod and other MP3 players. I guess some of you may want to do the same thing as I do, but have not found an available application to achieve this goal, if so, I would like to share my experience here, and sincerely hope you can get what you need from my post.
    The software I’m in use is Pavtube YouTube Convereter for Mac, which has performed very well on all the work I let it do. It can finish downloading and converting YouTube videos simultaneously in a few clicks. Besides YouTube, it can also deal with the video files from many other video sharing websites, like MySpace, Yahoo! Video, Google Video, Metacafe, Reuters, etc.  Okay, let’s go back to the point to see how to use it to download and convert YouTube videos to MP3 on Mac in detailed steps.
    Step 1: Add YouTube URL
    Step 2: Select MP3 as output format
    Copy and paste YouTube URL to the textbox after “URL”, meanwhile, if you want to save the original FLV YouTube videos, you can tick “Save FLV File”. Click the drop-down icon at the end of “Convert To” to select MP3 as output format. Furthermore, if you want to save the output MP3 file in your specified file name, you can type it into the textbox after “Save As”, and also, you can click “Browse” button to decide where to locate the output MP3 files.
    Step 3: Adjust audio parameters
    Click “Custom” button, then the following interface will show up, on which you are able to adjust audio parameters like codec name, sample rate, bit rate and audio channels.
    Step 4: Start downloading and converting simultaneously
    As soon as all the above steps are finished, you can click the “OK” button in step 2, after that, downloading and converting YouTube videos to MP3 will start automatically. Once completed, you can click “Open” button in the interface as below to get the output MP3 files with ease.
