Flicking entire video over one clip!

Hello everyone.
I've done everything I can think of, including browsing all forums and trying things others have suggested that are close to my issue. Nothing works.
I have clips in a timeline, with title clips for text and such. Standard stuff. On some clips, I can set speed to 90% and set clip to "always deinterlace" and they work fine, no flicker. Other clips I do the same thing and the entire video flickers horribly. I checked the specs on both clips and they are the same. The only difference I can see is that the clips that don't flicker when speed changed to under 100% were captured a year or so ago. The flicking clips were captured this week. Same camera for both. I did upgrade to CS5 between these captures, but can't see how that would make a difference?
I did an entirely different project with recent clips just fine a couple months ago. No idea why I have problems now -- unless it's a combination of older and newer captured clips? But that still doesn't make sense?
All display fine at 100% speed.
The biggest thing I don't understand is why the entire video flickers? The titles (with text) flicker really badly. Changing the speed of the clip (track 1) changes the flickering in the titles (tracks 3 and 4). How could a clip affect other tracks?
I've spent hours on this already and I'm at a loss. Attempted time remapping instead of speed, tried every combination of de-interlacing, anti-flicker, etc.
I have a new machine, Win 7 Pro 64, 8GB ram, i7 quad, big video card/ram, etc. CS5 with all latest updates. I run nothing but CS5 on this machine. Sequence settings 29.97 drop-frame, DV Widescreen, NTSC.

hi
i think it's a premiere problem (unfurtunatly not the only) not your
i have win 7 with cs 5.0.3 + nvidia 470 + matrox rtx2 and i've the same problem, when i change the speed or i put PIP sometimes video flickering, my video arePAL SD, IT'S VERY sad, i think cs3+matrox rtx2 was the best solution, unfortunately missed full hd, now premiere prefer nvidia than matrox but nvidia help you just in preview but matrox help you in rendering and more

Importing video as one clip

I edit items on a PC in Avid, an excellent professional editing system, mastering to DV tape. I've worked on Avid since 1998 and unfortunately worked in a PC environment for too long. I wanted to use iMovie to compress those movies to Quicktime to make use of Apple's excellent dvd authoring program by importing my master video which is on DV tape. My PC does a lousy job of compressing to Quicktime (it takes forever) and Apple's dvd authoring is excellent. Unfortunately the way iMovie works now makes it almost impossible to do this. Earlier versions of iMovie, specifically 6, allowed import of video material as one clip no matter how many shots and/or effects were in the footage. Now version 8, which I have, divides and rearranges those clips sporadically. Clips with dissolves or other effects are taken completely out of sequence and deposited at the end of the movie sequence. The other video is broken into unjoined clips for no apparent reason. I have unchecked the box arranging clips by date. It is nearly impossible to rearrange the clips for a smooth flow. This is all very unfortunate. Apple has effectively reduced the flexibility of version 8 from version 6. I can't understand why they would do this. It seems to be a step backward for iMovie and Apple and very disappointing. I'd love to see an update to fix this. Has anyone found a way to import video as one clip with no breaks in version 8?

I didn't realize it was still available. I've done that and it should work. Thanks.

IMovie exporting entire video instead of clip

I've imported a 14 minute video into iMovie. I've clipped a 3 minute section of the video and finalized my project. When I export that project, it's the entire 14 minute video. What am I missing?

I imported a lot of footage. I edited it down to about 10 minutes of clips.
I go to file > share > export file
The number of minutes shows 56, not 10. When I select all the included footage at the bottom, it says 10 minutes, when I go to export file, it says the file I am saving is 56 minutes. What am I doing wrong?
Check what is in the Timeline:

Why is FCP importing my video as multiple clips?

I have an older mini dv/vhs deck (JVC SR-VS30) that I have used to import analog tapes and other formats into the computer via firewire. On previous versions of FCP I would just select 'non-controllable device' to capture footage. Surprisingly, FCPX recognizes the deck when I go to import media and even lists the model number. Everything looks good when I play it and capture it, however, it is splitting an hour long mini-dv tape into multiple (average of 10) clips, rather than the entire video in one segment. The clips are completely random lengths. One might be one minute and another might be 17 minutes. I was just wondering what is causing this like maybe one of the import preferences or something. Thanks for any help.

I'm thinking dropouts/damage/bad tape may be the cause as well and or dirty camera heads.
Tape management in camera is something to consider during shoots.
Each time a tape is ejected/inserted damage occurs.
It is wise to have about one minute of BLACK at the head of the tape to allow for threading/unthreading of the tape around the camera tape path. Some users like to stripe the whole thing with timecode.
Also avoid ejecting tapes mid stream, use the head or tail of the tape end to eject/insert.
It could be a bad tape particularly if it's older tape using analogue formats.
DV/HDV uses the more reliable metal evaporated tape and a better error correction method in the camera, meaning less chance of dropouts.
Cueing and reviewing tape can also upset contigous timecode either a break or ordered break.
Using LP tape speed is another offender.
My last thought is use of tape, like how many times should a tape be re-used or recorded over.
This usually starts an OPINION debate.
IMO use a tape once and store it safely. At the price of them it's not worth loosing the footage unless it's totally a train wreck, then tape over it once using the above suggested management methods.

How do I apply a filter to an entire video clip?

I'm trying to find out how to apply a filter, e.g. Oil Painting, to an entire video clip and not just one frame.
Been trying to work with keyframes but it wont happen - all I get when applying a filter from the Filter Gallery
is a filter applied to just one frame (not even a second of the video clip i.e.).
So, the question is: is it even possible to apply a filter from the gallery to an antire video clip? If so, how?
Thank you very much!

Tried it, works like a charm!
Thank you!

Why is there no time indicator where my mouse hovers over the clip or even in the video pane when I play a clip?

I've used a few other video editors and all of them showed some sort of time indicator of where my mouse was when I hovered over the clip for precise editing and/or at least a time of where the video was in it's play time. Idk the exact terms for these indicators but I want to know why there's not one in iMovie and if there is, how to enable it.

You do get a display of the start time of each clip in iMovie 10 if you are not using a wrapped timeline but it is poor compared to previous versions and of course FCP.

Can one copy Audio from one clip minus its video...to paste to another?

I'm working on a painting video...as an artist/teacher...and easily created a 3 minute trailer on YouTube using iMovie...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LXWxjjGkAg
I have Final Cut Express 3.5.1 on my intel...and thought I'd best use this higher standard software for the making of my 90 minute DVD...but dang, its coming hard for me. Trying to make sense of the help manual. With iMovie it was nothing to copy an audio track, copy and paste elsewhere...but with FCE I can't seem to separate the audio of the track from one clip to copy and paste elsewhere without that video clip wanting to come along.
The original clip is me painting by a waterfalls..the original narrative voicing was weak, so I did a voice over with a mic and toneport tonight, now I want to paste in the sound of the falls behind copied from a clip where I did no speaking.
I have Soundtrack as well. Am I better off just putting my video clips together in FCE...then importing the whole thing to Soundtrack to edio audio? Seems audio with FCE is tough...well, for me anyway. Thanks

Hi -
In FCE, select the clip on the timeline that has the audio and video stuck together. Go to the menu Edit and toggle Linked Selection (the check mark will go away).
Now you should be able to copy and paste one without the other.
Hope this helps.

Unable to upload entire video clip to Youtube from Premiere Elements 10, "Share" feature

Hi all,
I just bought Premiere Elements 10 and plan to upload video to Youtube directly from Premiere Elements 10 "Share" feature. However it always uploaded about 10 to 20 seconds of my 2 minutes video only. Then it only uploded about 20 seconds video to Youtobe successfully but not the entire video clip which is about 2 minutes. Is there anyone face the same problem like me? Please help me on this matter. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Ellie

John,
The WAB (Work Area Bar) has tripped up many, and is a common issue, when the Timeline output is truncated.
Here is a look at the WAB (from PrE 4.0, but works the same in later versions):
The WAB is a great tool, when one wishes to limit the Export, or perhaps the area of the Timeline that Renders. However, many do not even notice it, and fewer understand how it works, or how to use it, and it gets in their way, if something is not set properly.
To the OP - Good luck,
Hunt

How do I make a video on one track expand in size over a video on a second track? Elements 11

How do I make one a video on one track expand in size over a video on a second track?
Thanks.

Thanks for the follow up with additional very helpful information.
What you need to do is to keyframe the Motion Scale property so that it changes over the duration of the whole photo
rather than Scale being applied to the whole photo uniformly.
Two ways you could do the keyframing of Scale..
a. from the Timeline
or
b. from Applied Effects/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded and its Scale Property there, using Toggle Animation to initiate the process.
For now, I will describe "b"
Your scaled down image on Video Track 2
Your regular image on Video Track 1
Your Timeline Indicator at the beginning of the Timeline.
Select/Highlight the image on Video Track 2, go to Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel Expanded and its Scale Property
That area should look like
You get an abbreviated version of the above screenshot if you do not hit the Show/Hide Keyframe Controls icon. With it opened, you will see the actual keyframes being placed.
With your Timeline Indicator at the beginning of the Timeline and Video Track 2 Image selected, click on the Toggle Animation Icon. That will set the Scale property keyframes
which at that time will be at a value less than 100% because you are starting with a scaled down Video Track 2 Image.
Then move the Timeline Indicator to the last frame of the clip. Then move the Scale slider to 100% or whatever % gives you Video Track 2 Image just to full frame so
that you do not see the Video Track 1 image. Render the Timeline by pressing of the Enter key of the computer main keyboard or pressing the Render button above
the Timeline.
All sorts of things can be done by keyframing a property. The property could be other than Scale (some examples might be Position, Opacity, certain effects applied
to Timeline content, etc.)
Please review and consider and then let us know if that worked for you. Do not hesitate to ask for clarification if needed.
Thank you.

Playhead info for imported video clips is static/constant in iMovie 9 as I scroll over the clips. Is it possible to make it display correct info?

HI, I have been importing videos clips from a SD card to iMovie 09. These clips are analyzed for animal behavior and the timing information for a specific event is critical for proper analyses. Most of the times, the imported clips display correct timing information for a given frame as I scroll over the clips. However, sometimes, some clips show a static or constant timestamp for all the frames in a clip and the timing information doesn't change in the playhead as I scroll over different frames.
For such clips, I was wondering if it's possible to display correct timing information for the frames, and how? Since I only need frame timing info relative to the starting point, I am open to a solution that involves readjusting starting timestamp.
Thank you so much for your time and help.

Several ways to do this.
I would scrub to the in point of the audio you want to change, then drag all the way back to the beginning of the clip. Then EDIT/SPLIT CLIP or right-click/Split Clip. Then go to the out point of the audio clip and drag to the right to the end of the clip. Then Edit/Split Clip. The clip in the middle should have your 25 minutes of audio.
Another way: Use Comment Markers

Premiere Elements capturing video in one piece instead of clips

I am saving all of my old SVHS tapes to the computer using an ADVC-55 capture card via fire wire and Premiere Elements 12
When the video has captured the entire tape and I go to view, I have noticed that It would save the captured video in clips and other times the full video with no clips.
I have clicked on the radio button to save the captured video as clips.
To be honest, I am not entirely sure what Premiere elements does when it captures the clip.
I know it saves the whole tape as and .avi file - the file size is about 9.5GB
it does seem a bit hit and miss and I am quite new to the program.
Can anyone explain where I am going wrong.
many thanks

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
What are your Capture settings?
Generalizing....miniDV camcorder....
If you are doing DV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements 12 Windows Capture Window, you have the option to capture
a. the whole as DV AVI standard or widescreen, depending on how recorded
or
b. Split Scenes...under Split Scenes, you have the option of by Timecode or by Content. Then you end up with DV AVI standard or DV AVI widescreen clips.
If you are doing HDV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements 12 Windows Capture Window, your options
a. the whole as MPEG2.mpeg
or
b. Split Scenes...under Split Scenes, ONLY by Content, not by Timecode. Then you end up with MPEG2.mpeg clips as many MPEG2.mpeg clips as can be detected on a Content basis.
If I recall, VHS does not have Timecode, so the Split Scenes by Timecode would not be an option and you would be dealing with DV data capture firewire with the DV AVI standard output. What does your Capture Window set show for Split Clips, Content? If so, it might be that the program is not able to analyze and detect scenes in some while it can in others.
More later.

Video imported all on one clip..

Video did not import into separate clips. Its all on one clip. How can I get imovie to make separate clips for editing? Original video is gone. Its on imovie6.

Hi Dixie
Where Do Your material originate from ?
• miniDV tape Camera (recorde with this live)
• from VHS/VCR via miniDV Camera or A/D box
If the latter - there are no Time & Date code that gives info to iMovie where to cut.
There is no function in iMovie that can produce couts from variations in picture or audio. (either in FinalCut Express/pro as I'm aware of)
It has been reported that it can be done on PC-Window platform and by programs like
Pinnacle, Adobe Premiere etc. NEVER Confirmed though.
If timecode not present - Manual cutting up only way. (As I know of)

My ipad2 is only allowing me to email 30 sec clips of a video that I made which is saved in Photos on my iPad2. How can I get it to email the entire video?

My iPad2 is only allowing me to email 30 sec clips of a video that I made which is saved in Photos on my iPad2. How can I get it to email the entire video?

It is most likely a size issue. I have a 3 minute video that's almost 200 megs. If you're just trying to show it, you might consider youtube. if you're wanting to upload/share it then you can try things like Dropbox or other onlilne file sharing programs.

I just recently upgraded to iMovie 10.0.1. Now whenever I import video longer than 30 minutes, it automatically splits it at 30 minutes. How can I get my entire video clip at once without a break again?

How can I incorporate several video and audio clips into one iMovie project?

Hello all. Basically, I'm trying to solve a problem before it becomes one. I'm going to put together a short iMovie project for a thank-you dinner. Several people from out-of-town will not be able to make the dinner. I want to give them the opportunity to "speak" by having them put together a short video or audio clip. I then need to gather up all the clips and put them together in one iMovie project. I guess I'm looking for some assistance in terms of format, what types of files/formats to use, etc. I've done a few movies (mainly from still pictures -- glorified slideshows with music). But, I'm still a relative neophyte when it comes to the computer world. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. (feel free to point to a "How to " tutorial if there's a good one out there).
Thanks.

your problem will not be the process of 'glueing stuff together'
follow advice given here
http://www.apple.com/support/imovie/
under 'Getting started' or follow the 'Video' tutorials ...
the real task is, to make all clips readable for usage in iM ...
before making you a technician on video-codecs:
download and install the free tools Mpeg Streamclip and Perian.org
you have to relaunch your Mac after doing so...-
BEFORE adding any of your external sources into an Event, use Streamclip to manually convert to DV, or if source is HDef, to Quicktime/Appleintermediate.
the resulting files should import flawless into iM, proceed as usual.
iM 'swallows' a lot of formats, so it could be this manual conversion isn't needed ...
don't hesitate to come back here, if probs occur ...
