Feather Edges of a Video Clip in a Motion Project?

Is there a way to feather the edges of a video clip used in a motion project?
(That is, feathering in the sense of making it gradually more transparent as you approach the edge of the rectangular image frame.)

you create a feathered mask by, first creating a mask with the mask tool, and then adjusting its feathering parameter to taste. You create regular shaped masks or more complicated ones if you use the bezier mask tool.
of course thinking about it now, if each layer is scaling and animating separately, simply masking the group may not work. You may need to set the anchor points of each layer say to the left hand side, that way they will scale out the other side and not evenly around the anchor point. it may be easier to lock down the sides you want to match.

Whats the best way to import video clips from FCP into a personal template

Hey all, I'm doing some tests. I see some color shifting going on when I export out of FCP using QT conversion (same settings as sequence), Importing into Motion, then adding lower third graphics, then exporting out of Motion .... and finally back to FCP. I put the new graphic added layer on top and have the original on bottom. I toggle the monitor on both layers and see a slight saturation drop on the graphic layer. Has anyone noticed that ?
The reason Im doing this is because lets say I have lower thirds that I want to place throughout a hour show. I want to set-up a basic lower third template and just plug in the video clips for the areas that I need those graphics. It would be way to difficult to export out of the timeline in FCP
and rebuild those lower thirds everytime in Motion. Does anyone know of a better way or does everyone have to export out to the desktop and then into Motion every time they want to use a Motion template.
Thanks to any replies.

Try roundtripping from FCP to Motion and back using Send to Motion. In FCP, Control Click your clip>Send To>Motion Project. The clip will open in Motion with the proper project properties. Make your edits there, press Save, and then render back in FCP. No exporting necessary, although you might see a gamma shift. Much easier.
To do this with an existing Motion template, I'd try copying and pasting in that template's contents once you've sent to Motion from FCP.

Creating and saving a photo from video clip in iMovie '11

Hello,
My dad took what he thought were photos from his iPhone. Turned out to be a bunch of one second video clips as he accidentally had it on the video camera mode. Trying to create a still photo image from these clips. What's the best way to do this? Is iMovie able to do this? If so, some guidance would be greatly appreciated.
I did try searching with no luck.
Thanks for your help,
AJ

You can import the clips from your iPhone into iMovie 11.
There are two approaches. Let's call them the shotgun approach and the rifle approach.
Shotgun approach:
Drag the 1 second video clips into an iMovie Project. Then SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME.
Choose Still image sequence. This will give you 30 jpegs per second for all the clips. In other words, it will give you every single frame, converted to a still.
Rifle Approach:
Download a free app to your Mac called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5.
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iPhoto, right click on one of the Video clips, and select "Show in Finder".
Drag these clips from the Finder into MPEG Streamclip. You should be able to hit the Play button and see them all.
Move the playhead in MPEG Streamclip to the exact frame that you want. Then click FILE/Export Frame. You can choose whether you want JPEG, TIFF, or PNG. And choose a location. Move the playhead to the next frame you want and repeat.

Creating A Catalog of Video Clips

Need advice on this one. I have over 30 hours of old analog home video which I would like to catalog on my hard drives in the form of small event related video clips. I would like to import the video to my mac, create and name each clip and save it to a folder without it being associated to an imovie project. I would than like to import video clips into an imovie project as I need them. This will give me the distint advantage of easly having access to 20 years of video, enabling me to create movies with clips from any time period. (Ultimatly I would like to be able to search the video catalog by file name i.e. all the clips with "Birthday" in the title). I have encountered several problems trying to accomplish this:
1. I have been importing with imovie which then assocaates the clips with a project.
2. imovie will not "start a new clip at scene brakes" because this is analog video converted to digital. So all video is importrd as very large clips (I would have to manually create clips during import).
3. I can't cut up large video clips in imovie, rename and save them on my hard drive. imovie always seams to save the entire original large imported clip and will not reconize the edited smaller clips (I think this has to do with non-distructive editing). As an example, if I import a 15 min 3gig video clip into imovie, then in imovie cut the clips into 3 five min clips and then save each on to my desktop, I end up with (3) 3gig files. This seams to be a waste of drive space.
Using imovie HD (will be upgrading to ilife 6)
Anyone have any suggestions
Thanks

Why do some songs "drop" off a video clip???

I purchased songs from ITunes to add to video clips in an IMovie project. However, some of these songs always drop off the clips. The timeline shows the name of the song, but there is no audio. Other songs work fine. Just about every affected song shows a yellow warning with an exclamation point on it.
Anything you can help me with?
Thanks in Advance.

This may be happening because there is no album name for those songs. Since the song with an album title does show up, try naming the albums for the other three songs. They'll probably show up.

Is it possible to pause a video clip?

Hi,
Could anybody tell me if it possible to pause a video clip for a few frames and then resume playing later in the project?
I guess I could chop the video clip into several discrete shorter clips and create some static freezeframes, and then play them all one after the other to crate the same effect.
But that sounds clumsy so I wondered if there is a way to pause/resume a video clip within a project.
Thanks.
Meme.

Many thanks for the pointers. I excitedly booted-up Motion to explore further...
... but I couldn't find anything called Timing remap or re-timing etc. Then it dawned on me that I should have specified that I'm still using Motion 2, and I guess those features are only available in Motion 3?
However, armed with the new phrase 'Timing Remap', I dived back into Google and came up with this article:
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/speed_changesmotion.html
This explains how to use the Scrub filter (also available in Motion 2) to control the playback of video clips relative to the project.
Its a bit fiddly, but I'm comfortable with basic arithmetic, so I can certainly use it to achieve the effect I want (basicaly I need a video clip to pause and then resume a few times throughout a project).
So thanks again for the feedback. It really did help.

Where can I find the folders that hold the audio & video clips of a project

Unlike weapons of mass destruction, I know individual clips exists and that there is a folder somewhere on my harddrive that holds the audio and video clips of each iMovie project. Where can I find them?

They are inside the Project that was made when you first created and named it.
Right-click (Control click) and choose Show Package Contents. Navigate through these folders.
Do not add or remove items as you may ruin the Project.

I DRAG AND DROP A VIDEO CLIP FROM THE EVENT BROWSER THAT IS 7.9 SECONDS INTO MY IMOVIE I'VE STARTED AND IT CHANGES IN THE PROJECT TO 4.9 SECONDS - HOW CAN I KEEP THE LENGTH THE SAME

I drag a video clip from Event to Project into my imovie I've started. The video clip length changes from 7.9 seconds to 4.9 seconds. How can I stop that length from being changed?

If you are using transitions either side of the clip they will use some of the clip to generate the effect, there isn't anything you can do unless you remove or shorten the transition.
If you aren't using transitions it may be that you are only selecting part of the clip in the event window, try dragging out the yellow frame to include all the video you want in the project.

Video clip animation

Is it possible to have a video clip slide in motion while it is transition, in order to avoid any video delay? We really need to get this done ASAP. We appreciate any suggestions.

No, currently, Keynote can't handle this.

Motion Project clip in FCP clip does not export

Dear All,
I edited one clip from FCP 06 sequence with Motion Project and replaced the original clip with the motion project version. I did frame blending effect on the original FCP clip, which had 25% slow motion applied (constant) through FCP. After the clip was replaced with the new one, I exported the whole sequence from FCP to a couple of formats through Compressor (a custom DVD and a custom H.264 formats), the fragment where the Motion Project clip supposed to be did not show the effect of the frame blending. However it shows fince on the timeline in FCP.
I will appreciate any suggestions,
Izabela

Hi Izabela,
Did you render the Motion effects in FCP prior to sending to Compressor? Are you using the 'Send to Compressor' (Not that that is wrong, it's just so I know your workflow)?
If it's just the Frame blending that is a problem for you just check your sequence settings in FCP. With the sequence window selected do Cmd-0(zero) to open the sequence settings. In the Render Control tab under Master Templates and Motion Projects, change the Quality to Best and tick the box underneath.
Now check to see if the Motion clip has become unrendered. If not, double click it and in the viewer goto the Motion tab and change the scale then back to it's original setting (just to unrender the clip). Now rerender the clip and retry your send to compressor.

Do the edges of a video get cut-off when added to an iMovie project?

When I view a video clip from the events library it fits in the viewer screen perfectly, i.e., the entire image appears on the screen. After adding the video clip to my project, when I play the video from the project, the edges appear to have been cut-off, i.e., my giraffe has no head. Do I need to resize the original video file? How?

Thanks for the idea. I found a solution to my problem in another discussion between KimsAZmac and AppleMan1958. If you use stabilization the image is made larger so it doesn't fit in the viewer. The solution is to turn off stabilization or use the slider on clip adjustments so the image fits the screen.
Problem solved.

Rotate a video clip and arbitrary amount (not as much as 90 degrees)

I would like to rotate a video clip by a small amount (3-5 degrees) because I didn't have my tripod level when I shot it. This is something I can do in Photoshop with stills. I think it may be possible in FCE if I enlarge the image first. Can anyone talk me through it. I've checked the previous discussions and can't find the full answer to this.
Thanks
John

1. Make sure the footage is not interlaced.
That means it should be progressive, which is the same as Field Dominance: None.
2. Open the clip in the Viewer.
3. Click on the Motion Tab.
4. Adjust Rotation.
5. Adjust Scale to eliminate black around the edges.

DVD SP4 resizes a video clip

Hi all,
I've created a video clip at custom size of 720x320 to use in DVD menu. I've
applied it to
drop zone. To my surprise it didn't fit into the menu design. The clip's info in
DVD SP has
shown a size of 720x536 (it's a PAL project), so DVD SP has resized the clip to
the PAL native
size automatically! Does anybody know if there is a way to prevent DVD SP of
doing that?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Audrey - welcome to the discussions.
Try re-sizing that drop zone - DVDSP should maintain the correct aspect ratio for the clip unless you go wildly out of the normal range, in which case it will clip the edges.
The other obvious win would be to composite the entire menu background using FCP or Motion or After Effects and get the footage exactly as you want it before bringing it in to DVDSP.
But no - I don't think you can prevent DVDSP behaving in the way it did for you.

Zooming in on part of a video clip

I'm new to iMovie and don't even know if what I want to do is possible, but i've done a few searches and come up empty, so here goes:
I'm working with a video clip of my dog playing that is about 45 seconds long. In one part of the clip she runs away from the camera, and does a funny jump. I want to zoom in on her when she jump, which is lasts 5 seconds (not the jump itself, just the lead up and landing :P).
I know that I would lose some resolution in doing this, and I'm OK with that. it's not too much zoom, maybe 25% of the original frame would be lost. Is this possible in iMovie '11?
Thanks,
psymn

Split the clip on the section you want to zoom in on. Click on the gear popup on the clip and select crop & rotation. Drag the edges to the section you want to zoom into. Click Done.

ReMixing odd size video clips

I just don't seem to be able to figure out what Final Cut Express v4.0.1 is doing when I am working with odd-size clips I find online. My aim is to take any clip I find online, re-mix it into a new mashup and re-post my derivative work online. I purchased FCE because I read of a feature whereby "sequence settings will automatically conform to the first clip you drag onto the timeline".
This only seems to happen if I am working with clips that already conform to one of the sixteen 'sequence presets' that appear on the load sequence preset button of the sequence settings.
* I NEED HELP designing a workflow that will allow me to take any odd-size clip, re-mix it and publish it back to the web with the same (or equivalent) settings.
Thanks in advance.

OK: after many hours of trial+error here is the best workflow I can come up with for re-mixing (appropriately licensed!) odd-sized web clips with FCE. This example will describe my fav 1024x576 square pixels (which also looks great on DVD on my PAL telly):
1. Start with a sequence that uses preset "Apple Intermediate Codec 720p(25)" which gives a framesize of 1280x720 square pixels.
2. Make a .png file 1280x720px with white background and black 1024x576 rectangle centred. (this will serve as guide to edges of desired output clip size and as a mask for QTpro (v7) later on.
3. Get clips into a format that FCE can handle (QTpro exporting to Apple Intermediate with 25fps works for me (but I will keep the MPEG StreamClip utility mentioned here just in case...))
4. Import clips and notice how they are automatically centred and behave well at 100%scale 0 Aspect Ratio distortion.
5. Use File->Export QuickTime Movie to output a .mov with the sequence settings of 1280x720 sq pixels, 25fps Apple Intermediate codec.
6. Open the exported .mov with QuickTime (PRO) Player v7.6.6, window->Show Movie Properties->click on video track, choose 'visual settings' then open the .png file described in step 2 as a mask. Your movie will now be cropped to the desired 1024x576 square pixels about its centre. Export this cropped .mov to your desired format (my fav is usually H.264 with data rate constrained between 2k-5k depending on the site I will publish on). Further export to iPhone .m4v always look brilliant and are tiny!
The end.
p.s. This technique works with any output frame-size smaller than 1280x720 square pixels. Just make the black rectangle in the centre of the .png file described in step 2. whatever size you want.
p.s.s. I would love to hear feedback / suggestions for simpler workflow.
