Flip Video now works directly with IM08

PLug in your Flip, select import movies in IM08 and navigate to the DCIM folder on your Flip camera and select your videos. Wha la. The Flip videos are imported into IM08. And they appear to use the same codec in IM08 (ie they aren't converted to a format like DV which takes up 10x the hard drive space.)
Either I've been a big idiot for a few months or a recent update from Apple fixed this.
There's no need to (first) convert your Flip video footage any longer.

I just updated my iMac to 10.5.4 and I can no longer import videos into iMovie08 from my Flip Mino. It goes through the import process and then nothing shows up. Everything is working fine on my macbook which is at 10.5.3. On both computersiMovie08 is at version 7.1.2
What is going on?

  • Videos now single frame with audio only

    My 30g video Ipod's videos now show up under music. When I try to watch them they are just a single frame and I get the audio. The videos are fine when viewed with Itunes. How do I get my videos back to normal videos???

    correction: it works fine on my ipod when I have the "TV out" setting set to "off", but I'm only getting audio on my TV when I have the setting "TV out" set to "on." It has worked fine in the past.

  • Which video camera works best with Premiere Pro CS6

    I'm a beginner in working with PP and need to purchase a video camera which will work seemlessly with Premiere Pro.  I don't want to go through a lot of conversion steps. I want to tape my kids sports, be able to take the raw video right from the camera to PP and begin editing, copying etc. Does the Canon HFM 500 with ABCHD formats provide what I need or do I need something more sophisticated?  Just getting started with the whole video editing thing and want to make the right choices before buying a camera. Thanks for any input.

  • Working directly with bits

    I am working on a DNS tool. According to RFC 1035, communications with the DNS server are performed using bit streams.
    I am working on some preliminary tests of a simple application. However, it would be very nice to use direct bit manipulation because several of the fields in a DNS query are single bit flags.
    I have tried using byte primitives in arrays, however, due to signing, this has been problematic.
    Frankly, I have not done a lot of bit math. Is their a good guide available or a means of directly manipulating bits? (I am fully willing to read. I just have not found anything significantto start with.)

    Thank you Ge Ha. I looked at the BitSet class. This does allow for bitwise operations but seems to be a more "abstracted" text redition of a true bit stream. The BitSet Class uses booleans to represent the elements of the stream. This does look like a nice class for constructing bit stream representations, but I will need to do more research to verify whether or not it is viable in the application I am considering. (I will post the results.)

  • Video control works only with right click

    I published a podcast in my iweb website.
    One of the videos has been published, but the play button works only by right clicking, instead of normal left click...
    Other videos work well....
    I Just tried to delete, rebuild and publish again the page, but nothing changed...
    Does anybody know how to solve my issue?
    Thank you

    Since you do not provide useful information so I can check it, I have to guess :
    Is an image or object blocking the video? Or is the video below the bodylayer and in the footer area?
    In a browser window, do Command-A to select everything on a page.
    In iWeb do Command-Shift-L to see the outline of the page and it's object.
    Study everything very carefully to see what's hiding.

  • Flip Video Camera Compatiblilty with FCE 4.1

    I was wondering about the Flip video camera's compatibility with my Mac set up. I have a PowerMac G5/Power PC, with Tiger 10.4.11. I'm using FCE 4.1. I also wondered about after dumping video into the Mac, and putting it in FCE, is there (the dreaded red line) RENDER time for every single clip put in a sequence. I know there are different versions of these cameras after viewing them online. Some say they are compatible with Power PC G4 or better. Others say you need the Intel based Mac. Any info. much appreciated!

    Any suggestions on another small video camera like this that video will not have to be converted?
    All these small video cameras use highly compressed delivery (or proprietary) codecs to record the video. There is no way around it - even when using Final Cut Pro, which has a much wider degree of latitude with regard to editable formats.
    My advice, just develop a work flow that ingests and converts as standard practice. Create a batch process and go have something refreshing to drink while you wait for it to complete.

  • Import Flip video into FCP

    A client wants me to edit his Flip video HD footage in Final Cut Pro 7.
    How do I initially get the footage into my computer via USB?  (What program do I use?), and then is MPEG Streamclip the best way to convert that footage and bring it into FCP?

    Those cameras shoot H.264 video. To get it into FCP, you need to transcode to an editable codec. ProRes LT is probably your best bet.
    If the camera does not work directly with FCP's Log and Transfer function, you could use Compressor, the Pro version of QuickTime Player 7 or MPEG Streamclip.

    Using Firefox 27 on the Mac. Video on most sites will not now work. I know I am not alone with this problem. What gives?

    Hi KevinMcL,
    Thank you for contacting support. I am also using your set up and I experience video issues when I have hardware acceleration turned on.
    Other steps you can take to improve your experience:
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

    Yep, I understand...
    This is the final news I needed to get to complete my answer... I confronted myself the italian store and the US one and in the US one I didn't find this product...
    As for the NI software, was so good that I just bought back my good "old" iMac G5 and will exchange it with this my Intel Mac. The G5 2 Ghz was good, performing as this new Intel (at times I even got the impression was more performing, but I believe is just an impression) and surely didn't have so many 3rd parties problems.
    Meanwhile I filled every forum of NI and USB with my questions about the compatibility... and maybe I will be back to an Intel Mac when all would be OK, I'm not in a hurry!
    By the way I had a listen to your work: GREAT!
    You may hear a sketch version of something we did work on with the NI piano and choir sounds, while the alto sax is played live and the other instruments are from Apple or real keys (yes, we mix a lot of things):
    http://www.garageband.com/song?
    while here is a track where we did use both the Orchestral sounds of Garageband (and some of it's loops, mixed with some good old programming) together with some NI sound:
    http://www.garageband.com/song?
    We do not often use orchestra if not as here and there (other than in some work as this last one, but is not so frequent). Hope you may like our little works!

  • Flip Video camera & problems with iMovie 08

    If you are having problems with iMovie and Flip Video, here is the Flip Video email response on 27 May 2008:
    Hello,
    Thank you for your response.
    We are not authorized to support third party applications, which is why we do not provide specific instructions regarding iMovie or any other third party application. We only support the Flip and the Flip program, while offering suggestions regarding other programs.
    The Apple website also offers Perian as a workaround regarding audio on the Tiger operating system with the latest QuickTime. The latest QuickTime upgrade didn’t allow for audio playback of AVI files, which is why Perian is now offered as a work around by us and by Apple.
    It seems as though you are able to playback your videos, as well as use them in outside applications. If this is not the case, and you are having issues using your Flip video or your Flip video program, feel free to contact us further.
    Thank you,

    This is my email to Flip Video on 26 May 2008:
    My MAC Updater downloaded the new QT 7.4.5 on 5 Apr 2008. I have been making movies in iMovie, and then posting them to YouTube. In the beginning I uploaded the movies as MOV files but soon discovered AVI files (larger file and longer time to upload) had more clarity when viewed on YouTube. Once the new QT 7.4.5 downloaded all my AVI files had picture, but no sound! I downloaded the Perian component as posted in QT discussions. The sound returned to the AVI files. However, when I Exported an AVI movie from iMovie the picture quality was worse than the MOV movie. There is something wrong with the new QT 7.4.5 when working with AVI, my AVI movies look terrible. These AVI files were all downloaded from my Ultra Flip Video camera with Flip’s codec 3vix. Flip is aware of this problem and acknowledged it last Friday. Flip says Apple is aware of the problem.
    My MAC PowerPc G4 has performed well in the past two months when working with the Flip Video camera. So, at Flip Video’s suggestion I upgraded the operating system to OS 10.5 from OS 10.4.11. Flip Video says their camera works with OS 10.5. Once OS 10.5 was uploaded I soon discovered that iMovie 08 would not operate on my PowerPc G4, 1.86 MHz. The speed requirement for iMovie 08 is 1.9 GHz.
    At this point of “spinning my wheels for nearly a month” with this Flip Video camera, I decided to purchase a new iMac. On May 2, 2008, I walked out of the Apple Store in Walnut Creek with the new iMac 20-inch: 2.66GHz. Now the Flip video camera should work and all my video problems solved. However, this was not to be.
    When I attempted to Import Flip Video AVI and MOV files into iMovie 08 the files were “grayed out” and would not Import. None of my previous Flip Video files would Import. I tried making new Flip Video movies, they also would not Import into iMovie 08.
    At another Apple Store, the tech suggested I download the previous version of iMovie HD. I did this and with hours of working through the different Export options I was able to create movies to post again on youTube. However, the picture quality of the newer iMovies has never approached the quality of my last post before QT 7.4.5 downloaded. Remember my problems started with QT 7.4.5. Well, my new iMac came with QT 7.4.1, I have not Uploaded QT 7.4.5 and won’t until Flip Video fixes this problem.
    Examples of my Flip Video movies can be viewed on youTube at: sffoggydays. The last video with excellent picture quality was posted 6 Apr 2008 titled “A Day at the San Francisco Zoo, Chapter Nine, L-Taravel Ride to BART.” This video was made in iMovie and Exported before QT 7.4.5 downloaded. All the youTube Flip Videos made after 6 Apr 2008 have poor picture quality.
    It is time for Flip Video camera to stop “passing the buck” to Apple. When manufactures of operating system such as Apple and Microsoft create newer and upgraded systems, it is the responsibility of the manufactures of applications to redo their programs for operating on the new systems. Here is where Flip Video is not accepting this responsibility to Mac users of their camera. The Flip Video application/codex/drivers need to be updated in order to fix the following problems:
    - No sound on AVI files in QT 7.4.5
    - No Import of AVI and MOV files in iMovie 08
    - Poor picture quality for youTube in Export of iMovie HD
    I like my Flip Video camera, want to continue making movies for youTube, and recommending the camera to others. The Flip Video camera people need to fix these problems for Mac users.

    Hi!
    I agree 100%!
    I also purchased the Flip Video - was thrilled to see that they worked with Apple computers. I made several movies with it when I had my PowerBook G4. I went on a great vacation & took several once in a lifetime videos. Got home & couldn't wait to put them in my iMoive -06, burn them on my iDVD and sent them to several family members & friends. Before I got the chance, I had my system updater tell me that there was a new version to QT. GREAT, I thought, just in time for my vacation videos. Like you, after the QuickTime upgrade, I got video, but no sound. I was SICK about it! I also wrote to the Flip people & got a response somewhat like yours. I left the videos on my Flip which left no room for any others, but I didn't want to take the chance of losing them. After reading from Flip that it would work with OS 10.5 system, I talked myself into getting a new MacBook Pro. Came with all the upgrades iLife -08 and the OS 10.5.2 OK...finally, after months of stressing over losing the vacation videos, I had all I needed to save them! Of course the $2,000.00 price tag hurt a bit, but I deserve a new computer.
    Well...I STILL can't get my priceless vacation videos edited and burned! I tried downloading 2 different programs that were supposed to help convert my Flip movies to something that would work, but they haven't. I could get it to work on my desktop with QT, but what good is that?? I want to make DVD's to send to others & save for my grandkids (if I ever am lucky enough to get some!)
    I'm TOTALLY disgusted & feel I've wasted my money on the Flip Camera (that at one time I loved & was seriously considering giving them as gifts) the $2,000.00 on a new computer (that even though I do deserve, didn't REALLY need one yet!) AND I still have vacation videos that I can't share!
    So... I agree! Flip should honor their word that is printed on the box & MAKE it work with all Apple computers. Surely they can find a fix!
    TOTALLY disgusted with the whole FLIP/APPLE mess!
    Oh, Flip also said they 'heard' that QuickTime Pro would work with iMovie -08 - although they haven't actually tested it themselves. NO THANKS!!! I've got WAY too much money invested in this stupid Flip camera!

    Flip video ( I just bought one) makes AVI files (AVI is a container like QT is one) using 3ivX. All you need is the free Perian codec and you can playback, edit etc. Export the to a MOV container which doesn't reencode them and you should have usable files.
    They have a valid point - they supply software and they have no obligation to make their camera work in iMovie. Reviews I have read say it works OK in IM6 vs. the iLife 08 version. Note that QT doesn't work natively with DivX, WMV and you don't see Apple saying they are obligated to fix Quicktime. They like their codecs and they don't care about others any more than Flip does.
    You can always open in MPEG Streamclip and export them to a non lossy codec like Animation and use those new QT files as well. Or DV as another format option.

  • No Sound from Flip video clips on iMac, but works on Mac Pro and Macbook

    I just got a flip video camera today. I tried it out at work, made a quick video, imported it on my mac pro, and it worked fine. I came home took some videos, went on my iMac(24 inch core 2 duo) and was surpised that the videos imported without sound. After searching the web, I didn't find any concrete solutions, just some suggestions that pointed towards codecs. Since nothing worked, I sent the file to my wife's macbook pro to try it out. The same AVI file on her computer plays sound. Now I am totally confused.
    Any ideas?

    The sound is on, and other files and applications play sound.
    In fact, in iMovie 09, there is sound. But there is no sound in quicktime, VLC player, the flipshare software the camera works with, and if I upload to youtube via the iMac there is no sound on the youtube video, but if I upload the file to youtube from the macbook pro, there is sound.
    I don't know what to try next.
