From Still to Video Clip

I've brought a layered image in from Photoshop so I can move an arrow around over the background to point things out. Is there any way to actually make a video clip from this in which the arrow layer is being moved around over the background image as I lecture?

When on Imports a Still Image, and drags it to the Timeline, PrPro has essentially converted that to Video, which will be physically Video, when Exported. This is why, when you drag the Still Image to the Timeline, a red line appears above it - that means that for smoothest playback, as Video, one needs to Render that part of the Timeline.
Now, that "arrow" can certainly be above either a Still Image (perhaps the Background Layer of your Layered PSD), or above Video, and can be animated to move, over time, with the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position, and Keyframed over time.
Did you Import your Layered PSD as a Sequence (Layers are retained), or as Footage (Layers are Flattened)?
With Import as a Sequence, each Layer will appear as a discrete Clip, and those can be added to another Sequence, and then can be animated independently, as needed.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • How can I take a still from an iPhoto video clip?

    My ipad camera got stuck on the video button so every picture has come out as a video clip. Can anyone tell me how to extract still photos from a video? I don't know which version of iphoto is on my ipad.

    The iPhoto for iOS forum is here

  • Organizing digital still camera video clips

    Hi all,
    I found a new use for iTunes (at least for me). I like digital photography and have 3 Panasonic Lumix digital cameras: FZ1, FZ20, and LX1. Both the FZ1 and FZ20 do 320x240 videos but the LX1 can do 640x480 and 848x480 videos. Now that I've found a way to keep these video clips organize, I am going to start taking more video clips along with the normal still pictures. BTW, Panasonic uses the QT .mov movie format for its videos.
    I like that way I can assignn genres (Vacation, Nature, Sports, etc.), group albums (Alaska 2003, Hummingbirds 2006 Fall, etc.) and add meta normal ID3 tags. And, I like the "group with artwork" mode for videos.
    Right now, I jsut have one queston. It looks like iTunes puts all video clips into one directory:
    S:\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\iTunes Movies
    How do I get iTunes to organize video like it does with music (i.e. Auther -> Album?
    Thanks,
    Steven

    OK, I found out how to convert the AVI files to MOV. I found a program called SUPER:
    http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html
    Best of all, it is free! I've converted the videos (AVI) from my now deceased Casio camera to the MP4 format for iTunes.
    I still want the Movie library to use the same folder structure as the Music library does. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Steven

  • 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.

  • Streaming stills and video clips

    Dear all,
    I have a basic question about QuickTime streaming: Is it possible to
    combine video clips (video & audio) and sound files (audio only) in a
    single stream (or playlist) ? The problem is that the video (obviously)
    will be missing when we stream audio clips. So we had the idea to use
    some sort of poster frame that shows an image while the audio file
    is being played back. Is this possible ? A workaround would be streaming
    a full video (freeze frame) that accompanies the audio. But this seems to
    be the worst solution. So is there a way to send just a single
    frame (photo) to the QuickTime player, that stays on the screen as long as
    the audio is being played back ?
    Thanks a lot for your help !

    Sonic007, welcome to these discussions.
    All you need to do is add your image track to the audio track (scaled). This new .mov file needs "hint tracks" (required for streaming).
    The "Save Copy as Hinted" AppleScript will add the hint tracks without requiring an export (which would reduce the quality).
    Downloaded them (free) from this link:

  • Is it possible to remove phone ring from piano recital video clip in Final Cut Pro?

    Hi.
    I edit  all videos in Final Cut Pro. My last video clip is a piano recital. And  there is a phone rining during biutiful piano performance. Anybody knows how to remove it without removing  this part of music?

    Looks like you're using FCPX so this is the wrong forum, pop over to the FCPX forum and ask there, although I think the answer will be, always keep phones on silent at piano recitals.

  • Missing audio from half my video clips

    Hi guys, i'm young & new here so sorry if i'm not very technical. Here goes:
    At college we had to film interviews with a range of students. We filmed with a stadard digital camcorder on two days:
    * On the first day we filmed with the internal microphone from the camcorder.
    * On the second day we filmed with an external microphone.
    Upon importing the clips into iMovie, the first day's filming clips are fine but the second day's filming clips are completely without sound! At first I thought it was a microphone issue, but upon watching the playback on the camcorder (and hearing that the audio was perfectly fine there) I realised that this was not the case. My second guess was that it was the computer's fault. But by recieving the same result on two different Macs, I realised this was not the case either.
    So my latest guess is that it might be an issue with iMovie. Now, I've tried it on iMovieHD AND the most recent iMovie (with the new format) but the same happens on both versions.
    Does anyone have any ideas what has happened/what I might be able to do?
    Many many many thanks,
    Barney

    I am in the process of preparing to test a sample from your brand and model camera in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. I will have the results probably tomorrow morning.
    For now I just want to put you through the drill that I do for anyone who says he/she is using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
    1. Are you working from the 8.0/8.0.1 Update of the program?
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
    2. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features turned OFF.
    For Background Rendering option. See Edit Menu/Preferences/General.
    For AutoAnalyzer option. Click on Organizer in the row below the blue active Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and disable all the AutoAnalzyer options. To return to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, go to File Menu/Exit.
    Is your computer optimized in spite of the fact that  you have a high end laptop? I presumed so but always go to verify, no pile ups of preview files, conformed video and audio files et al.
    Looking at the properties of your source media, I see:
    video compression = MPEG1
    audio compression = MPEG-Layer1 (.mp2)
    Frame Size = 640 x 480 (4:3)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio = 1.0
    Frame Rate = 30 progressive frames per second
    With properties like those you are sure to get a red line over that content since there is no project preset with that description.
    But, your choice of the default NTSC DV Standard would have been mine also.
    I am heading to try to get a quick look at the behavior of the sample video here in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
    To be continued.

  • Extract photo from video clip?

    Can I extract a photo from an m4a video clip?
    I used my iPhone to shoot about one second of video instead of a still picture, as I'd intended; now I want to get a still from the clip.
    Any ideas on the best way to do this with iPhoto or iMovie, or some other application? Thanks.

    Not with iPhoto - try iMovie - there is a forum and a help menu

  • How to Delete several Audio clips from Video clips on Timeline of APPro CS5

    I  would like to know how to delete multiple audio clips from Video clips at once in time line in APPro CS5? Please advice step-by-step procedure. I can DELETE audio from a single Video clip. But I wanted to DEL Audio from multiple video clips. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks

    Thanks for the advice given by Shooternz, Colin and Jim. Your help is much appreciated for a beginner like me... Jim's idea was also good..It worked for me and also safe if I need to use the original audio. Following method also found good...but previous audio clip cannot be extracted after deleting it. ... 1. Hold down "ALT" key first then select the first audio clip in the chain of video clips to Delete. 2. Hold down " Shift + Alt " keys together and click right mouse button on all audio clips to be deleted one by one. Make sure only audio clips are selected. 3. Then release ALT+Shift keys and then click right mouse button and select "Clear" from pull down menu to Delete all selected audio clips on the time line. This method works very well for me. Thanks for every one who has adviced me how to do it. Thanks guys... If u all find better method tha above...please inform us. Thx.

  • How do I display the complete time sequence for a video clip in iMovie?

    How do I display the time complete time sequence for a video clip in iMovie?
    I'm trying to create a movie for someone where they provided me the video clips and what time sequences they want extracted.  For example:  Video footage from time 5m22s to 9m:18s and 11m17s to 15m31s from the imported video clip.  I know you can select video but I cannot figure out how to select from those requested time markers.
    Any help would be apreciated.

    Open the file using QuickTime Player and then open the Movie Inspector window.

  • Video clip sound after burning

    I use Adobe Premiere Elements 10, and I recently made a music video. I put a soundtrack to it. I turned the video clip sound all the way off and just let the soundtrack play over it, like a music video. I then burned it to a disk and played it on my DVD player. When it was playing, I noticed that the video clip sound and the soundtrack were both playingand over lapping each other. I burned several disks after turning every other sound off but the soundtrack, and still the video clip was playing over it. Please give me advice on how to fix it, as it would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the forum.
    First, I would play the Timeline with the Audio Mixer Panel open, and watch for the Levels of the other Video Tracks. You can also use that to Mute other Audio Tracks.
    One can also Alt-click on the Audio portion of the Clip, and just Delete that.
    Now, did you place your music onto the Fixed Soundtrack Audio Track? Some users have experienced problems with the two Fixed Tracks, Soundtrack and Narration, and the normal "fix" is to just drag the music (or narration) to an empty, "regular" Audio Track.
    Good luck,

  • How to play mixture of photos + video clips?

    Most of my iPhoto events include a mixture of both still photos + video clips (taken on the same digicam).
    I'd like to play these back as just such a mixture i.e. part slide-show + interspersed quicktime movie clips (whether in an album, slideshow, event, or something else).
    What are some ways I can do this? Simple preferred to hi-featured
    Thanks!

    how do they handle this?
    They use an app like iMovie or PhotoPresenter.
    Isn't iMovie primarily a video editing program?
    Yes.
    a bit too much work for just easily and seamlessly viewing pictures + video clips?
    You won't know till you try, will you?

  • Exporting one section within a long video clip

    Hi. I would like to work with a 2 minute section from a long video clip. One way to do it would be to import just that section into iMovie from the camcorder. But is there any way to accomplish this with a clip that has already been imported? In other words, can I take a section of a clip in iMovie and save it as a separate clip (or sub clip) that could then be edited, copied, exported or whatever? I am using iMovie 3.
    Thanks.

    Hi Howard
    Yes there is some ways.
    I would cut up the clip to get the required part.
    Export this as DVstream via QuickTime expert mode - start a new iMovie project and import.
    OR rather beeing lazy. I would export out neede part to my Camera and a new tape.
    Use this tape in a new project

  • Additional audio channels being imported with XML from FCP. Merged Clips. Out of Sync

    Problem
    When I import an XML Interchange Format V5 file from FCP7 and then import into Premiere Pro CC, my merged clips now have 4 audio channels. 2 from the original file and 2 from the merged audio.
    Versions
    FCP 7
    Premiere Pro CC 7.2
    Workflow
    * Create merged clips in FCP
         * ProRes Video clip with camera audio
         * Stereo audio clip
         * Sync in Timeline
         * Delete unneeded audio tracks, reducing track on video clip to 1 mono track, centered
         * Drag to browser
    * Export XML Interchange V5
    * Open Premiere
    * Import XML Interchange File
    * Clips are imported, HOWEVER
         * Clips now have 4 tracks of audio
         * Tracks 1-2 are audio from the original Video clip
         * Tracks 3-4 are audio from the synced second source audio file    
         * Additionally, tracks 1-2 are now OUT OF SYNC
    I cannot find a way around this. Clips now all have out of sync indicators on them. Merged audio is insync, and original audio is out of sync.
    I do not want to have to resync all of my audio, everything is tagged and organized into bins.
    Anybody know why this happens and a workaround?

    Ha ha, an excellently wry comparison.
    I'm using photo-jpeg because it was reccomended to me as a way to achieve greater image quality when exporting within the confines of youtube.

  • Can anyone help me figure why there is a popping sound when I move from an iphoto still image to a new video clip?  The sound has been removed from the video clips and there is another soundtrack underneath it all.  Help?

    My current project is like many I have created in the past.  I have removed the sound from my video clips and laid another soundtrack under the entire project.  Now, when I add an iphoto still image to the project, when it goes back into video there is a popping sound.  I've never had this happen in the past and have made many projects in the past just like this one.  Any way to troubleshoot this issue?  Thanks so much for your help.
