Help to get from video to sequence (newbie - Print person learning video)

I have .vob video files I am bringing into iSquint and converting to .mp4. I then bring that into MPEG Streamclip and have tried many different conversions. I bring them into FCE HD 3.5.1. The video pane plays the file, but when I drag & drop the file into the "Sequence 1" pane they either play the video with no sound, don't show the video at all, show as "undrendered". I am working from .vob files that are recorded at church, from the preacher and I am volunteering to post these online through Vimeo, but I can't seem to get them to work in FCE. I have never used FCE before, but know that I can learn new things. I just can't seem to figure out what settings it is to use to get them in. They are also wanting me to add the preaching points as the preaching happens via text on the screen and it seems like that can be done in FCE. I really need help. Thank you for reading this and posting anything back. I have read post after post in different areas and have tried so much, but keep running into a brick wall on my end.

Thank you so much. You are such a big help. I kept trying to figure out where I knew your name from and it is from some of your help FCE videos I watched on youtube. Wow, you are such a help.
I am converting it now under those settings you gave to me. Although, I couldn't find where the 29.97 was so I typed it in and assume that was right.
I have been working on this since last Monday on and off. I bet I have put in more than 20 hours and still without success. Your help really means a lot to me.
I am use to imovie and just dropping in there and working from there. FCE is so intense for me. I really don't understand "sequence" either.
I have 2 .vob files that I need to convert and bring in to merge together to play as one piece. Is that why there is a "sequence" 1 or 2, etc. or is it like imovie and will all drop into the same timeline and work from there? I have to delete the first 20 seconds of video too and can easily do that in imovie is it easy in FCE too? Then I want to go and add the text to it as he is preaching to give the Scripture reference and points as he preaches. I have read so many places to do that in Photoshop and save as a .psd and bring it into FCE. Is that true or would it be easier to try to learn it in FCE? Thank you!

  • How do I get from an HD sequence in Final Cut Pro to a regular DVD?

    Hi,
    I'm finishing my first HD project, and I'm trying to get it onto a normal DVD, and I can't figure out how I should export it out of Final Cut and what settings I should use in DVD studio pro. I need the dvd to play on normal, couple year old dvd players.
    Help!
    Thanks,
    Sarah

    You should export a master file from FCP using Current Settings (same as your Timeline) as a Self Contained or Reference movie -Self Contained is preferable as it creates a file that is independent of the source footage and render files.
    Bring that into Compressor and choose one of the time based DVD settings that the duration of your movie will fit into. Import the resulting MPEG2 video and AC3 audio files into DVD SP.

  • Some Help to get started needed for a newbie

    I am attempting to add some simple email functionality to a small utility
    program I am writing in Delphi for my school. We have used Groupwise for
    many years and I have programmed a bit in Delphi but mainly database work.
    Can anyone tell me where to find some documentation that will help me to
    get started in using the GW Tokens API with Delphi?
    How do I install it?
    Do I need a Type Library for it to use it effectively with Delphi?
    Is there some sort of basic skeleton code that I can refer to?
    I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone might offer here.
    Thanks

    for VB (so you will need to translate for Delphi)
    Add references to Groupwise.exe to your project and Groupware type library
    GWCMA1.DLL

    Set vCommander = CreateObject("GroupwiseCommander")

    rc = vCommander.Execute("NewMail()", sResult)

    nPtr = InStr(sEmailTo, ";")
    If nPtr = 0 Then
    sUserName = sEmailTo
    sEmailTo = ""
    Else
    If nPtr > 1 Then
    sUserName = left$(sEmailTo, nPtr - 1)
    End If
    If nPtr < Len(sEmailTo) Then

  • HELP!: changing from manual update to sync update with no videos in library

    My ipod (120GB Classic) is set on manual so i can manage my own music but the number of songs in my iTunes library and on my ipod is different, about a 20 song difference. Because of this i wanted to change my ipod setting to automatically sync from itunes, but when i try that it says that it will delete all the content on my ipod and replace it with the things in my Library.
    The problem is that i have about 200 videos on my ipod but none of them are in my iTunes library. If i were to change the setting will all the videos on my ipod be deleted? Also, if i wanted to change back to manual setting after sync setting it wouldn't effect the content right?

    thanks for posting your problems. it's a good heads up for people who might be using software update. I'm sorry i don't have a solution for you, but I do have a workflow that can avoid these sorts of problems. When you have a stable OS/Application combo, clone your startup drive using something like carboncopy cloner (available on versiontracker.com) to a bootable drive (a second internal drive or an external firewire drive with the correct formatting). This way, you can update with impunity and if a problem occurs, you can restore your system to a working state very quickly.

  • Please Help: Cant' get Windows computer to see network printer

    Hi,
    I have my printer shared on our network directly into the airport. All of the Macs can use it no problem, but when we try to get a Windows computer to access it, we're having no luck.
    I followed these direction I found on Macworld:
    AirPort printer sharing isn’t restricted to Macs: Windows PCs can also use an Air-Port print server. To set this up, you’ll need the AirPort’s IP number. (By default, it’s at 10.0.1.1.) With the PC attached to the AirPort wireless network, open the Add Printer wizard in Printers and Faxes. Following the steps in the wizard, create a local printer, deselecting the Automatically Configure option. Next, click to create a new Standard TCP/IP Port, and enter your AirPort’s IP number in the IP number field. If the IP number is 10.0.1.1, the queue name should automatically fill in as IP_10.0.1.1. In the next screen, select Standard as the device type, and then specify Hewlett Packard Jet Direct. Finally, click on Finish, and then select your printer make and model from the list of available drivers.
    but had no luck as well.
    I'm trying to connect to an HP Lasterjet 2200.
    Thanks,
    -Tim

    I fixed the problem. I coudln't get the Windows machine to find it on the network unless it was actually plugged into the USB port of the Airport Extreme.

  • HELP! Getting a 4:3 project from a 16:9 sequence back to 4:3 sequence!

    So here's the dilemma,
    I'm helping another user with a video project. The user created a whole movie out of 4:3 stills and an audio file, but arranged them in a 1280x720 (720p30) sequence. Now, of course, the images display with pillarboxing on both sides.
    The goal: *Get this already edited sequence back to 4:3 dimensions without pillarboxing from the 16:9 sequence, without having to re-edit it. How do we go about doing this? We would like the final sequence to be DV-NTSC*

    Thanks, but I tried that at first before posting here. The problem is, when I remove attributes it puts the image back to original size, scaling it up so large that I can't even see it well in the canvas. Then, Final Cut won't let me scale it down small enough to see the whole original image.
    Tom Wolsky on the FCE forum suggested this:
    Make a new sequence that's DV 4:3 and copy and paste the content from the HD sequence to the DV sequence. Depending on the size of the still images you may need to rescale them in FCE, but this should give you cleaner results than nesting the HD sequence.
    I will try it tonight and get back telling how it worked.

  • Can i get help on how I can successfully install the new google voice video chat software. I keep having an install error. My google voice phone always worked until a week ago when suddenly google would not let me call out from any browser

    Can i get help on how I can successfully install the new google voice video chat software. I keep having an install error. My google voice phone always worked until a week ago when suddenly google would not let me call out from any browser until I installed their new google voice and video chat (made by vidyo) software. I was told by genius bar to install Yosemite, which I did. But that did not solve the problem. I removed macKeeper, as well, since a techie friend told me that could be the cause. Nothing so far has worked.  When the problem first happened, it seemed to only happen in Chrome. Google voice calling out worked fine in safari, for about a day or so. Now I cannot call out from any browser. I can, however receive calls, and make calls within the video hangout.
    I can be contacted directly if questions at gary at couplewise dot followed by the usual extensin

    You can only suspend service for 3 months at a time (with or without payment) and only twice a year.

  • Get Comment from the Current Sequence

    Hi everybody,
    Just wanna know if it's possible to get the comment from the sub sequence like we can get the name using RunState.Sequence ?
    my test Name is the sub sequence name and the number associated is placed in the comment, that way I'm generating data to database autmatically.

    Hi Pierre,
    you can use "RunState.Sequence.AsPropertyObject.Comment" to get the comment of your SubSequence.

  • Need help getting from 10.5.8 to 10.6.

    need help getting from 10.5.8 to 10.6.  i know i'm late to the game!

    If you are not sure of what you are doing,If you are worried about losing anything when doing a major systems upgrade/update,
    Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
    Older version of CarbonCopyCloner found here.
    http://mac.filehorse.com/download-carbon-copy-cloner/2734/
    Older versions of SuperDuper can be found on the SuperDuper Website and Homepage.
    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.

  • "Making multicam sequence from 3 other sequences" not showing video properly

    Well, problem in a nutshell. I created a multicam sequence, using 3 other sequences. But somehow, it's not showing it 100% correctly. Like, the main window shows the video, like it should be, and the smaller windows, are just off sync for some reason (except the only sequence that doesn't have any empty caps on it). Any explanation & fix for this?
    Instant workaround that I just invented. I put some empty title on the empty caps, and now It shows it, like it should be in the smaller windows. But if anybody knows why it did it in the first place, would be clad to know.

    OK, maybe I should clarify...
    Only A2 is coming through, NOT A1 -- so that's inconsistent with what you're saying. I have not checked Audio Follows Video, because that's not the bahvior I want. I'd like to be able to choose from any of the video tracks. Is that not possible in Premiere Pro?
    Also, do you think it makes a difference that I'm 'multicam editing' from a regular sequence (with multicam enabled) as opposed to an actual multicam sequence?
    thanks for the help.

  • How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.

    How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.
    I've tried plugging the hdmi into the TV directly and the receiver.
    I get video every time.  HBO to Go , Xfinity, ABC, Youtube, etc...
    just no audio.  Any suggestions? 
    I've tried starting the apps then plugging in the hdmi cable.
    I never tried this before I upgraded to IOS 5.

    Claudiamil-
    I had not tried it with mine since upgrading to iOS 5, so I just did.  I'm using a small Vizio HDTV.  I did not try YouTube, but did try several videos and musical numbers.  In all cases there was sound, including stereo when the source had it.
    I assume you are getting sound from the iPad when the adapter is not connected, so the volume is not turned down.  Dah*veed's suggestion to reset may be what you need.

    I can see the video. I want to download it and save in my computer to see it again.
    I have download helper. While the 3 red,blue,and yellow sphere are turning, It gives me the choice of place to save,and when I click and choose desktop , for example, this message comes ."Conversion requires an external application that appears to be missing on your system. Configure conversion ?
    When I click on okay, another page comes, which says" converter and a box next to it . in the box is written FFMpeg. but I can change it to MEncoder. In another box, says configure conversion rules. When I click on it, nothing happen.Thanks for your help.
    == This happened ==

    No, this reply is not helpful. It simply generates this little gem:
    "This service requires the conversion feature to be enabled.

    And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key.

  • Can anyone help me get a serial number from Adobe & Identit-e?

    I bought the Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard Student & Teacher edition through Amazon online. I followed the instructions inside the package to verify my eligibilty as an educator. I received a message on the screen after submitting my materials that I was verified & I would be receiving a serial number.  This was on June 1. I contacted Adobe Chat and a rep. told me to wait 2 -3 business days, but still no email with serial number had arrived. On June 7, I contacted Adobe Chat again and the rep told me to contact customer service at identit-e.  I have sent  identit-e two emails with no response. It has been one week of trying to get my serial number from either Adobe or identit-e.  Can anyone help me get my serial number?
    Product Code <removed by moderator>. 
    My work email is <Removed by moderator>

    Jeff,
    I ordered through Amazon and not through Adobe so there is not a record of my order on the Adobe website.  I do have a record of the order with Amazon so I requested a refund through Amazon.  The product is unusable without the serial number.  It has been 8 days since my eligibility  was verified with identit-e.  I have spoken with three Adobe rep.s and two unanswered email to identit -e trying to get the serial number since I was verified as eligible to receive the student/educator version of Creative Suites. I am very disaapointed with the lack of help I have received from Adobe with this issue.
    Being referred to identit-e or to a FAQ page is not what I needed to solve the problem- I needed the serial number  I have lost complete confidence in Adobe's customer service and that the serial number will ever be provided.
