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.

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

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately you can't do that.

I took a 15 minute video clip on my phone and now I can't import it into iphoto. I've been able to import clips to iphoto in the past. How do I fix this? How can I get it imported onto my MacBook and ultimately iMovie?

Maybe try one of the WiFi transfer Apps? There are several to choose from. I use Photosynch quite often to send photos and videos between my computer(s), my iPhone, and iPad.

I have just changed over from a computer that was 11 years old, running Windows 98, to a new computer running Windows XP. With my old computer I could easily download video clips, they would open and play as soon as the download had ended. Now I have to click on the download box and click on "Play". Also, when I wanted to keep a clip, I just right clicked and a menu appeared and I would then click on "Save as" or similar. Now there doesn't appear to be any way to save the clips. Apart from a faster and more powerful computer I feel I've gone backwards. Can anyone help?

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Get CPU and memory usage

Hi!
I would like to know if there is any way of getting system CPU and memory usage using Java code.

I want to get the system CPU and memory usage using the performance monitor dll, the perfctrs.dll, but access this data using Java language.Then you should create wrapper dll between your java code and perfctrs.dll and convert data from format of dll to format of your java code.
So, that is next question - how to create wrapper dll, how to deal with or how perfctrs.dll works?

Is there any Vi for getting the CPU and Memory usage of the Local as well as Remote System

Find the attachment(LV8.5) for local machines.
You can use shared variables to monitor the remote machine's usage.

How to find out CPU and memory usage for an instance?

Hi DBA Gurus,
How to find out CPU usage and memory usage for an instance?
Any information is appreciated!
Thank you!
Robert

you can calculate cpu usage by adding fallowing three factors which you can get from v$sysstat
1. Parse CPU time : This represents the percentage of CPU time spent parsing SQL statements. Parse time CPU can be a strong indication that an application has not been well tuned. High parse time CPU usually indicates that the application may be spending too much time opening and closing cursors or is not using bind variables.
2. Recursive CPU time : Sometimes, to execute a SQL statement issued by a user, the Oracle Server must issue additional statements. Such statements are called recursive calls or recursive SQL statements. For example, if you insert a row into a table that does not have enough space to hold that row, the Oracle Server makes recursive calls to allocate the space dynamically if dictionary managed tablespaces are being used.
Recursive calls are also generated due to the inavailability of dictionary info in the dictionary cache, firing of database triggers, execution of DDL, execution of SQL within PL/SQL blocks, functions or stored procedures and enforcement of referential integrity constraints
3. Other CPU time : This represents the percentage of time spent looking for buffers, fetching rows or index keys, etc. Generally, \"Other\" CPU should represent the highest percentage of CPU time out of the total CPU time used.
total memory used you can calculate adding
total_agrigate_area+sga
memory usage on os level you can know by fallowing commands
vmstat 5 20 depending upon os

Firefox keeps freezing and using 50% cpu and memory usage shoots up most of the time it's when there's an auto update of anything addon, plugin or ff!

Firefox keeps freezing and using 50% cpu and memory usage shoots up real fast and carries on going till it uses up all there is left. Most of the time it's when there's an auto update of anything addon, plugin or ff but not just neccessarily then! I find out it's happened when there's been an update after i restart and an extra webpage comes up with the particular addon/plugin/ff update. I have to restart most of time because nothing sorts it out. I'm using windows xp with the latest update of ff 13.0.1 it's not this version because it's been happening for a while. And it never started when i added a particular addon or plugin or when i added a new app to my pc either. Any idea as to what this may be or how i'd sort it out?
Cheers

Maybe disable hardware acceleration? This article should help: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-ram

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,
Hunt

Eliminating or sorting music during a video clip in a slideshow.

I created a slideshow of pictures with no sound and some video clips with their own sound in iPhoto. I would like to have overall background music but silence or soften it substantially it during the video clips to allow their own sound to come through exclusively. How do I do this?

There's no way to completely eliminate the background music with iPhoto. If you have access to an older version of iMovie, i.e. iMovie 6 HD (part of iLife 06), you can do exactly what you want. It's by far the a best iMovie version.

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".
