Edit video clips together..?

Hello. This may be a crazy question. I looked at the product information for QuickTime Pro but I could not find an answer to this question.
With QT Pro can you edit together various small video clips that are taken with video camera (say 15 to 30 seconds in length each).. to make a small mini-video. Plus, even add a soundtrack.. and maybe even a few pictures..etc.
Is this possible with QT Pro. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
Rick

As long as the files from the camera are supported by QuickTime the Pro upgrade can be used to edit and make new files. It does not edit MPEG-1 formats.
QuickTime .mov files can have up to 99 "tracks".

  • Linking two video clips together

    I cannot find the way, how to link two video clips together so, that when moving one, the linked clip follows.
    Is there a way of doing that?
    The manual gives nothing with words: "linking video clips".
    Message was edited by: TRST

    You can't link video clips to each other. You can nest them. Put the two clips in a sequence the way you want them. Put the sequence with the two clips inside your master sequence. They will act as a single clip. That's the only way.

  • A first step: Editing video clips before using them in a longer video?

    I am an absolute beginner.  I have purchased Premiere Elements 7 and I bought the Premiere Bible and am reading that.
    My question is, Premiere seems to be software designed primarily to help you make a video production by joining together video clips, sound clips, and photos.  Is there a step before this, though, namely editing the clips as they come out of your camera?
    I've been using PhotoShop for years, and typically when I take a still photo I open it in PhotoShop and adjust saturation, brightness, sharpness, maybe white balance, rotate if needed, etc.
    Is there another piece of software designed to help do this kind of basic editing to a single video clip?  For example, if the clip came out too dark, is there a way to brighten things up?
    I'd really appreciate any answers, and if there is a book or article you could suggest about editing video clips I would appreciate the recommendation!

    Stephen,
    First, welcome to the forum.
    Next, and this does depend on your camera, you Capture your video from the camera, using a Preset for your Project, that matches the material from your camera.
    Now comes the "RAW conversion," though I am using that term VERY loosely. Many people will do basically a pre-edit, by Dbl-clicking the Captured Video in the Project Panel. This opens it in the Source Monitor, where one sets  the In and Out Points, basically doing a loose edit of the scenes. The Clip in the Source Monitor can then be dragged to the Timeline. Each is done this way, until they all appear, in the order that you want, on the Timeline. Note: you can drag from the Project Panel, and do this in the Timeline too. Also note: when you play the Timeline, you are now looking at the Program Monitor.
    At this stage, one touches up the edits, and adds any desired Effects.
    Usually last is any Audio work, like adjusting the Clip's Audio, or adding Narration, and/or Soundtrack.
    Export/Share is the final step and one can choose their delivery format.
    The exact workflow is a bit different than processing an image in PS, but not totally alien.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • How do I put several iphone 4 home video clips together on Quicktime so that I can watch them together on the one DVD.

    How do I put several iphone 4 home video clips together on Quicktime so that I can watch them together on the one DVD as a movie. And what export setting do I use to play on a DVD player?

    QuickTime Player is not itself able to do this. You need a proper DVD authoring solution such as Apple's iDVD.

  • I put  video clips together and added music off of iTunes but it will not attach when I put it on youtube or vimeo. what is wrong.  It plays as I made it on iMovie

    I put  video clips together and added music off of iTunes
    but it will not attach when I put it on youtube or vimeo.
    what is wrong.  It plays as I made it on iMovie

    Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists  and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
    Thanks to all.

  • Crashes, graphics glitches, and more crashes when editing video clips

    Can't for the life of me figure out why PE keeps crashing on me, so I'm here for help.
    My system consists of a i7-970 hexacore, 6GB ram, 1x 500GB os drive, 3x500gb raid 0 drives (this is where my video clips are stored), 2x GeForce GTX460 video cards.
    OS is Windows 7 Profressional 64 bit.
    The video files I work with are generally in the 50-200GB size.
    A little background - the videos that I am working with are recordings from Battlefield Bad Company 2 that I have recorded with some capture software called Dxtory.
    I record at 1920x1080 at 60 FPS to avi files.  The avi files are using the "xtor" codec (Dxtory's own codec)
    [ISFT]    DxtoryCore ver2.0.0.101
    [ISRC]    Video:YUV420 Audio:Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)
    Audio is PCM 192000Hz recorded in stereo.
    Let me start by saying I have not had trouble with this before until I started recording the videos at 60 FPS.  30 FPS worked ok (some crashes here and there, but they were bearable), but the frequent crashes started happening when I started working with the 60 FPS videos, done mainly so I could play around with slowing the clips down, etc.
    Sometimes I can open and edit clips just fine.
    Recently, a project that I'm working on is crashing when I try putting two different clips from different files together on the time line.  I managed to get it to work once, and saved the project after that.  Then, PE crashed randomly and when trying to reopen the project, it just crashes and won't let me get any further.
    I should mention the graphics glitches as well - occasionally (especially when previewing video clips before adding them to the timeline) after I close the preview window, the graphics in PE will glitch out, causing random lines to appear in certain areas, graphics to stack on top of eachother and freeze up, and sometimes I can click on the "play" button in the main project window and hear everything start playing, but the graphics are completely screwed up to the point where I can't view the video or hit the pause button.
    All of my computer hardware is fine, all drivers, and PE, are up to date.
    Can someone please help me figure out what is going on?  I'll be happy to provide any more information that might help out.

    The most likely issue is the codec that your program is using the create your video. It's apparently not compatible with Premiere Elements.
    This often happens also when people try to record their on-screen video with FRAPS.
    You'll see lots of discussions on this issue in the Premiere Pro forum. However, it's even more pronounced in Premiere Elements, which is designed to work almost exclusively with camcorder video.
    Some video programs are a little more versatile with this type of video. Some people have found Corell's Video Studio better at handling these non-traditonal formats.
    But I did a Google search on Dxtory editing and couldn't find any information on it.
    Sorry I can't offer a solution. But I can pretty much assure you that Premiere Elements isn't it. sorry.

  • Questions about editing video clips, images and text

    I'm using the Expert mode and I'm having trouble with figuring out how to do certain things.
    1. I'm superimposing a picture of a scoreboard on my video and then I superimpose a text object on top of that so I can update the scores throughout the video.  I've placed on instance of the text object on my "Video 3" and now I want to change the score.  So I created another instance on the same "Video 3" timeline.  Now I want to close the gap between the two instances.  I would expect to be able to click on the gap in between and delete it but nothing happens.  I would also expect to be able to double click on the instance to access the specific start and end times that I see when I hover over it.  But again nothing happens.  So I've been magnifying the timeline so I can manually drag the two instances together.  Is there an easier and more precise way to close the gap?
    2. Is there an easier way to periodically change a text object without creating a bunch of instances?  My "project assets" folder is getting filled up quickly because the score is constantly getting updated and I keep creating a new instance for each score change.
    3. Is there a way to permanently combine two seperate video clips?  I've used the "group" option but there is still a divider that reminds me that the two were seperate.  I'd like to be able to combine the two and for it to look as if it was always just one large clip.
    4. When I use the scissors to cut a section out of the middle of a clip, the blue marker that shows where I am currently in the video stays in place.  So each time I cut out a section, I have to manually drag the blue marker over to the new beginning that was at the end of all the stuff I just cut.  Is there a preference to have the blue marker stay with you when you edit instead of it suddenly being far ahead of you in the editing process?
    Thanks!

    Other than doing Duplicates of your Title, and editing those, as needed, the only other option would be to create the Titles in another program, such as Photoshop, then Save those as PSD's, to be Imported into PrE. The one downside of doing that, is that to edit those PSD "titles" is to Open them in Photoshop - the PrE Titler will not open them for the additional editing.
    PrE does not have as much power to organize Assets, such as Titles, as does Premiere Pro, with both Bins and Folders (later versions). I always create a Bin, for my Titles, or even several Bins, for different types of Titles in the Project.
    Maybe others will have a workflow, that I have not considered, so we both might learn something.
    Good luck,

  • Question about putting video clips together

    I am trying to put clips together in Premier Elements 12 using Windows 7 Professional. I keep getting an error message: "This thype of file is not supported or the required codec is not installed."
    I admit that the clips are mostly jpeg and Flip video. I have installed the Flipshare software on the computer. What can I do to put these clips together? I saw an answer that mentioned exporting the BBB.prel Timeline to an appropriate file saved to  the computer hard drive and then import that file into AAA.prel, using  AAA.prel's Add Media/Files and Folder/Project Assets from where you drag  the import to the Expert workspace Timeline to join the AAA.prel  content already there.
    But I don't know how to export, and what is an "appropriate file"?
    Thanks.

    We need more information in order to resolve your issue.
    Are you saying that you cannot import even .jpeg photos into your Premiere Elements 12 Windows project...and your Flip video as well?
    a. Were these jpeg processed in Photoshop? Do you know if they have the CMYK color profile? What are their pixel dimensions (width and height in pixels)?
    b. What is the brand/model/settings of the camera producing the Flip video?
    With the above information we can get at the media and program compatibility issue(s) that might be triggering the message "This type of file is not supported or the required codec is not installed."
    You say that you have installed "Flipshare software" to your computer. What do you intend to do with it? If you are thinking to use it to convert the problem files into another format that Premiere Elements will accept, we still need to know the properties of what you are working with and set Premiere Elements accordingly.
    The concept of using content from one Premiere Elements project file into another Premiere Elements project file does not apply to the situation that you describe for your issue.
    You need to describe what you have for media and then we can proceed from there.
    The brand/model/settings for the camera that produced the Flip video is a good start.
    MediaInfo and gspot are programs to get at the properties of your video. But the brand/model/settings information may be all that we need.
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/mediainfo/

    Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Help - Can I bring video clips together just like a downloaded TV Show is?

    I have a series of short videos which are currently in iTunes. Each clip is a separate file but from a series. The files are separately sectioned within iTunes and not under a single entity, like a TV Show is if you download the entire series.
    I have put in groupings, artist etc, to sort them together, but I was wondering if there was anyway of bring them together under 1 banner, just as if it was a TV Show.

    Nevermind, i've just worked out a way. If I put them all under 1 Album name, it groups all the video clips. Then it sorts them in order of Grouping, etc.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 switching sequence settings from previously edited video clips

    When importing my video clips into Premiere Pro, which are currently set at 1920 x 1080 both from the video clip and sequence settings, it switches  to 720 x 480 (says file has mismatch - keep or change settings, I've done both results the same) when I export and when I put clip on timeline it switches it to 1440 x 1020.  The video clips were done on a earlier version of Premiere Pro at another facility, where we put the audio and video together to make a complete video clip  We shot the footage using a Canon DSLR at 24 ups and are MOV files, done on a Mac
    If anyone else has had this problem and found a solution, plese pass on.
    Carl A.

    Take your imported footage and create the sequence by dropping one of the video files on to the "New Item" button.
    If your footage is actually showing in the project panel as 1920X1080, the sequence that will be created will match that. Guaranteed.

  • Editing video clips in a slideshow and Memory usage

    A couple of queries-1) I've made a slideshow from an album after culling 2000 photos. Unfortunately I omitted to make edit the content of 2 video clips contained in the slideshow. Is there any way of extracting these clips,making the changes and re-inserting them in the slideshow or do I have to start again?
    2) When a slideshow is created does it take up HD memory?

    I've now discovered ( using Omni Disk Sweep) that Parallels 5 with XP has eaten my last 10GB.. maybe time for an upgrade!
    It certainly is.
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on. Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially. Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do. Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.

  • Editing video clips from Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28K 10MP Digital Camera

    I've got iMovie '08 and I'm considering getting a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28K camera, which takes HD video (albeit in 8 minute chunks) in what I believe is the .mov format. I don't know much about iMovie, so I was wondering what the steps would be to convert the .mov files into something that would enable me to edit the clips. I also have Quicktime MPEG-2 Playback.
    Better yet, are there any Lumix and Mac users out there who have experience with this particular combination? I'd appreciate any suggestions... I realize that it may seem more appropriate to just buy a camcorder, but I really won't be using the video option very heavily. It's just an extra bonus, if I can make it work efficiently with iMovie.

  • Audio issues when editing video clips

    Sorry if this been asked before and I’m having trouble looking for the answers on my own. I will start by saying that I have the latest built of Premiere and that’s CS4.2
    I’m trying to edit 720 60p clips natively from my Panasonic GH1 camcorder and I have it set to interpret footage to 29.97 for slow motion. Its edits very well but sometimes when I use the razor tool to split a file, the second part of that clip will no longer play the audio.  I even noticed a clip that had the audio missing half way when I didn’t even use the razor tool. Another time it was several clips in a row that was missing the audio.
    This isn’t the first time. I was trying to edits clips on standard speed and I noticed that one of the clips couldn’t play the audio. I ended up saving everything and restart Premiere and luckily the audio was their. This time, with the slow motion clips, restarting Premiere is no help at all. I could start over on a fresh time line but I want to see if theirs any other solutions first.
    I hope I was clear enough.

    This is a shameless bump to get someone to attempt to give me an idea what to do... or even tell me a better way to copy DVD that I own onto an IPod

  • Is there a problem or bug in locking video clips together?

    Hi, I have 3 movie tracks masked with one track underneath all 3 for a total of 4 movie tracks. I seem to be having a problem locking down the 4 video layers so things "added" into my masks match up with the main video track outside the mask(s). I've tried using guides and grids and when I get the center point circular X on the yellow t-bar for all 4 lined up, I click on these 4 tracks and use the object lock feature (in the object menu), but it doesn't seem to "lock" for the duration of my entire edit, which is about 2000 frames.
    Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

    Hi Kim,
    There have never been any reports of bugs or problems with our serial communication VI's with the specific ASCII character "i". Also no reports about that character in general.
    1. All the serial VI's are based on VISA, so you can always make sure that you have the latest VISA driver from our website:
    http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/webcategories/85256410006C055586256BBB002C0E91?opendocument&node=132060_US
    2.You say that you have version 6.0? Did you install the 6.0.2 patch? If not, that would be a good idea too. There were some problems with String and Array functions that got fixed.
    Download the patch from this link:
    http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/168AAE428563A9E8862569EC005C5856?OpenDocument&node=132070_US
    3. What do yo
    u mean with "the serial ASCII output is giving you problems"? What kind of problems? What do you mean with bad lookup? What LabVIEW functions do you use? You need to be more specific.
    4. If this is a serial issue,.. Do you have the same problem when doing a serial loopback test with the letter i? Try with the specific ASCII code or just with a normal string.
    5. Can you attach a little program that reproduces the problem on your MAC? Please also send specific information about your OS, installed software,...
