Help ! (video clips)

Im just editing my video footage, and would like to put some video clips downloaded from the internet, which websites can i download them from ? =and what video are compatible

While they will not be great quality, you could download the videos if they are not encrypted using a program such as TubeTV (http://www.chimoosoft.com/products/tubetv/). I believe this downloads them to an MPEG4 format, which FCE is not compatible with. You could then use something like MPEG Streamclip (http://www.squared5.com/)to convert it to an FCE friendly format.
However, as David said, if you want the video to maintain good quality you should contact the creator to get the original footage for editing. And if this video is copyrighted, the above process will likely not work and should not be used. If copyright laws are in place, you should get permission from the copyright holder.

My mac won't open video clips from my iphone in iphoto since upgrading to snow leopard. Help.

My Mac won't open video clips from my iphone in iphoto in iphoto since upgrading to Snow Leopard. Usually I just used to double click and the video clip would open, now nothing happens. Help please.

Can you access the material via the Finder or Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) ?

How do I transfer video clips from iPhoto to iDVD? I followed the instructions in the help section but it did not work.

I would like to make a DVD from video clips I took of my Grandchildren. I went to the help section and it stated to click on the video clip, then click 'share' and choose 'send to iDVD'. That option was not available on the share button. How to I transfer to iDVD. Thanks for any help.

Do you plan to put each video clip in iDVD to be playes separately? If so then here's how:
1 - open iDVD and select your theme.
2 - click on the Media button at the bottom right and then on the Photo button at the top.
3 - in the search window type in ".mov" (or the extension of the video clips you plan to use).
4 - all of the video clips with the extension you entered will be displayed and you can drag them into the menu area at the left.
Another way would be to put all of the video clips in an Album and click on that album to view and drag the clips:
Remember, the order that they are added to the menu will be the order that the buttons will highlight when you scroll thru the buttons with a DVD player remote.
This will give you a menu with a separate button for each video clip (up to 12 in a menu with some themes).
If you want to play all of the clips one after another you could create a slideshow in iDVD with the "+" button at the bottom and drag the video clips into the slideshow as you would still photos. Set the slide duration to anything but manual and don't apply any transition.
That will let you play all of the clips sequentially.

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.

What audio output are you using? What mac and version iMovie

Why is it, if i have one video clip in the timeline, i can't just add a transition at the end of that solo clip to fade to black!?! please help!

hey there, so im making a video for a family event..
i drag in an audio clip all of a sudden this becomes the be all and end all, and i want to sync some vid clips to that audio track, so let's say i drag in a 10 second video clip, at the end of the 10 seconds, i want to add a transition to fade to black.. i go to the transition window.. choose the cross dissolve or fade to colour, but it will not allow me to drag it on that video clip.. it always ends up on the audio track. this bloody application is so confusing compared to final cut. please help!

Ahhh, now I see the problem, Grasshopper. Problem is, we are all Grasshoppers, here.
Yes, that little piece of info is critical. I'd say the biggest difficulty with FCPX is the whole new language.
If I read you correctly, your Audio is in the Main Storyline (Track 1 in plain old Editorese). This makes anything else you add (above or below) a "connected clip", which we can no longer think of as "Track 2" because Jobs sez so. So, yes, you cannot just add a transition to either end of a connected clip.
No argument with Tracy's solution, because I haven't seen any other general solution presented for any attempt to treat connected clips as the main storyline. And, of course, when they were "track 1" and "track 2", you could.
An alternative solution, however, is to highlight the connected clip and press Ctrl-V to bring up the Video Animation Editor. Click the "reveal button" for Compositing: Opacity (bottom, right). Once open, there is a "fade handle" to the right top. Drag it left for however much fade you wish. (there is one on the left as well, but you were only talking about a fade-out.)
A second alternative, perhaps for future projects where everything keys on audio, may be to create a Gap clip (used to be called slug) in the primary storyline before ever dropping in the audio. Then you can add video to the main story line and modify it without having to go thru hoops to do the simplest thing.

Need help on how to a user can control a video clip using their mouse

I need help. I've got a video clip of a rotating 3D

Here are the instructions...
Update firmware with DOS CD
To boot from CD you have to hold down the option key (<alt>) during startup. A HDD icon and a CD should appear on the gray screen. The HDD has the volume name written below and the CD is named Windows. Select the CD and boot to DOS.
Hit <ESC> to skip the README.TXT
Use PG UP/DOWN keys on an external keyboard to scroll through the readme, using arrow keys may lock DOS.
SeaFlash offers some options you should explore before performing the update. If you just want to do it ASAP then hit <D>.
Hit <L> to list compatible drives and FW version. (Column New FW version should state SD24, hit <ESC> to go back to main menu.)
Hit to scan your drive(s). (Shows your model and FW, <ESC> for main menu)
Finally hit <D> to update your Momentus XT to SD24. (takes about 15s to update)
Power off your Mac.
-- Although it did made sense to what you are saying to just follow Seagate's instructions. But they only had instructions outside the realm of MS Windows is to burn it on a disk and run a cold boot to the disk drive. Otherwise if Seagate did provide detail instruction on how to install this then can you provide me a link?
Thanks again....

Just use the plain linear fit!
(If you are discussing something you found in the forum, you should always include a link so we can see what you area talking about. What you probably found was a workaround that forces an intercept of zero for a special scenario. If you want to use general linear fit anyway, your matrix simply also needs a constant term)
If you still have problems, show us your code and some data.

If you right click on your clip, does it offer to Optimize Video? If so, after you optimize you can change the speed.

JDunlop,
thanks for your quick reply to my java.sun.com forum posting! i just got back from vacation, so i didn't get a chance to try your method til now. i pulled your email address off the website to update you on my problem playing an avi file in JMStudio (JMF).
as per your instructions, i downloaded the divx player at www.divx.com and tried to play the avi file. this is the error the divx player gives:
Divx Player 2.1
The file contains unknown video data
The file contains the following type of data:
Video data: FOURCC code "MP42"
You may need to install a new video codec on your computer to watch this video
Some quick questions:
1. Where could I find the "MP42" codec to play my avi file in JMStudio (JMF)? Does java.sun.com have video codecs?
2. You mentioned in your posting "If you don't have the one that was used in the encoding, your out of luck." Does this mean that I need to know how the avi file was originally coded and have the original codec to decode (play) it?
Thanks,
lac410
P.S. If you need more Duke Dollars for your help, I'd be happy to award them to you.

sounds to me like you are missing a video codecs. If you don't have the one that was used in the encoding, your out of luck. Download the player from divx.com, it will tell you which codecs the video needs (if it won't play). You can then search the net for that particular codecs.

Fast Color Corrector Edit Effects to a Video Clip --- need help, please

I am editing a single video clip. The clip is too dark, even though I used a video light. Classroom in a Book, page 298 recommends to apply the Fast Color Corrector. I tried...BUT as book reads, the color corrector wheel should pop up and allows changes to color.????
Please help. With Thanks. Please reply with help to me by e-mail...[email protected]
Larry

Hello Mr. Hoecker:
Thanks very much for your reply and advice. I am enclosing photos to show that:
I can NOT see anything by clicking on the grey triangles.
In “Fast Color Corrector” I do NOT see a section which says…”Input Levels”
Perhaps my install of CS 6 is missing some software. I will re-install and see until you can reply on this.
This is a page from the single clip I need to lighten so the face and black dive suit shows better.
FYI: I have been an Adobe subscriber and user since there was Adobe. I try to use the Classroom in a book for CS 5 and CS 6. When stumped, I go into the book and try to find a fix. In this situation, the little triangles, etc. are NOT there where I can see them. And…YES there is a LOT that I do not know.
Many thanks.
Larry McKenna

There's a good chance that this is a known issue. We'll have a Flash Player 18 beta later this week that should resolve this at http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta/
