Hi Guys I am new to this, need a hand

Okay so I have a video that is about 40 minutes long. I am making a short 3-4 minute movie. I transfered the video to the college's computer and then transfered it to an external HD and then transfered it to my computer. Now the video is 40 minutes long as I said before and it has different takes shot at different angles. I want to separate the different takes so editing and adding it altogether will be easier. I tried using the razor tool and cutting it and then exporting just the section I had cut out. Only when I did this it saves it in widescreen or fullscreen so when I pull the video back up in CS4 the video has been changed, like for example when I exported the video clip and then reimported it it was like it had widescreen twice, like how some videos on youtube are in widescreen but have black bars on the side. I hope this is making sense, I am a CS4 newbie I just got the program. I hope I am making it clear that I am trying to cut the video into more manageable parts so I can edit it and pull it altogether to make a short film. Maybe I am just going about this the wrong way? Please help me !

hiya,
you could probably cut out what you want as individual scenes and just drag them up another video layer..  straight up from where you make the cuts....
It may or may not also automatically move your audio to the next audio track...so if you have to move that manually also to the next audio track...
then when you have all your cuts done and scenes moved to another video level you can just uncheck the video 1 layer ( or whatever video layer has your original stuff ) eyeball symbol at left of timeline...so you dont see that layer anymore....
same with the old audio layer...
wont hurt to just leave it there ...unless it gets in the way of your future editing...in which case you can clear that stuff from the timeline ( the old stuff you dont want )
if theres a separate audio track ( not muxed ) then you could also make subclips from the source monitor...and use them on your timeline.
no need to export and then re-import
note: do a test export ( shrink down the work bar to a small test area ) at some point before you go nuts with editing a long time...cause it may be that you dont have the right sequence settings to match your asset ...( as it seems you're having some trouble with your mention of widescreen with black bars etc )
In other words, test export to make sure you are starting off on the right foot to begin with

  • New to this--NEED Advice!!

    My fiance needs a new car badly (He's driving a robin's egg blue '94 Chrysler Lebaron with gorgeous pink/white polka dots) We're in our early 20s, but have a joint income of $70k.Don't have a single clue about financing a car, what we can expect in the way of APR, or who should finance it so I'll give you the background and maybe someone can help us get a better picture of what's affordable and in our range. I just don't trust the dealerships because they wanna run your credit 14 times and put you in a car you can't afford.He's looking at the $20k range and hopefully a $300-ish monthly payment (any lower would be wonderful). Haven't totally pinpointed the car itself, though.  Me: 6 month AAoA--16 month oldest account. 700+ scores across the board. 7 cards and 1 student loan. Quite a few inquiries and new accounts, but 100% positive payment history and 1% UTIL. 3 paid medical collections all under $100 on EQ and EX.Him: Mid/upper 600 scores. Was an AU for 5+ years, but has since removed himself. 2 yr 2 month AAoA. Very thin file.. has been rejected for cards due to lack of history. Student loans aged a few years. 3 new accounts in the last 2 months. Inquiries, but not as many as me. 100% positive payment history and 1% UTIL. No baddies whatsoever.  Basically... do we have a shot whatsoever at lower interest rates? Or is our credit too new/shotty for those 1.9/2.9 rates? Will we have to lower our cars to the $15k range to get the monthly payment where we'd like? Who's name would be the safer one to finance it under? Or is it a good option for him to finance and me to co-sign in order to help both of our credit profile?Our finances are totally tied together, we have a joint checking, live together, split the bills and have a child together so, although I know people here frown on co-signing, it's totally an option for us.

    I think you have a good chance at qualifying for a top shelf interest rate loan. Ask your sales consultant if they deal with Chase.  If they do, be sure to negotiate 1.99% APR thru Chase.  If not, tell the sales consultant you'll be back and pre-approve with Penfed or DCU. $20,000 OTD with zero down and 1.99% APR at 60mo would net $350/mo

    My hard drive died. My IT guy reloaded stuff.  However I needed to authorize this drive to get it to work.  How do I deauthorize a dead drive????? It says I now have 5 authorized devices - but this computer is now counted twice - first old dead hard drive and now this new hard drive.  Thanks!

    Deauthorize your computer twice, and then authorize it. If that doesn't work, use the Deauthorize All function.

  • I have inherited an ICloud account from one of my employers when transferring from old MacBook Pro to new MacMini and need to separate from this, presumably by setting up a new ICloud account.  How do I do this ?

    I have inherited an ICloud account from one of my employers when transferring from old MacBook Pro (which belonged to them) to new MacMini and need to separate from this, presumably by setting up a new ICloud account.  How do I do this ?  And is there any danger, in doing so, that I might delete any of her ICloud information ?

    Sign out in System Preferences>iCloud. This will remove any synced data such as Calendars, emails and Contacts from your Mac, but will have no effect on the data on the server - so that other devices logged into it will continue to see the data.

  • I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

    Firefox also makes regular backups of your bookmarks in a folder named bookmarkbackups in your personal settings folder. You can restore the backup to your new Firefox, but unlike importing the HTML-format file, it is a complete drop-in replacement, so if you have saved new bookmarks you do not want to lose, the export/import method may work better for you.
    By default, Windows hides your personal settings folder so the easiest way to access it is from inside Firefox. You can use either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This will launch a window showing your Firefox settings files.
    You might want to back up this whole folder if you have other data you want to preserve from your XP computer.
    Either way, you should find the bookmarkbackups folder here and when you click into it, find maybe 10 files with dates in their names.
    The procedure to restore the file once you have it on removable media or some other convenient place is described in this article: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]].
    Regarding the other files and what you might find of use: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]].

  • Bought a new 4s and need to transfer photos from iCloud to new device. iCloud is giving me an old @me address. I do not have the email or pw  for the iCloud account. How do I retrieve this information? Thanks.

    If you need to change the iCloud ID on your new phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • HT1386 I have a new computer and need to sync my iPod touch.  I get a message that says "All existing apps and data will be replaced."  Does this mean progress in the games will be lost?

    I have a new computer and need to sync my iPod touch.  I get a message telling me that all existing apps and their data will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library.  Does that mean I lose all game progress?

    Yes.
    What you need to do is Transfer the iTunes Library from your Old computer to your New computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Backup iTunes to an External Drive

    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

  • I am setting up a new iMac and need help syncing files to Dropbox.  On my old computer I had it set where when I saved a document, it was saved on my hard drive, as well as to a folder in Dropbox.  I can't remember how I set this up.  Any help?

    The way that Dropbox works is that it keeps a copy of all your files in your local Dropbox folder on your hard drive (which is, by default, directly under your home folder). Adding files to that folder will sync them to the Dropbox server.
    You do of course have to download the Dropbox application to enable this (download link at the top right of http://dropbox.com ).

  • My laptop has crashed and I'm in between getting a new one but need to update my iOS on my iPad, is there anyway of doing this without a laptop or computer?

    My laptop has crashed and I'm in between getting a new one but need to update my iOS on my iPad, is there anyway of doing this without a laptop or computer?

    If you can't update via wifi, you can use a friend's computer, or an Apple store will do it for you.
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • I am new to this I Pad Air and was downloading some games and it is still in waiting mode with the circle continually going in circles. I need to delete these and do not see how to do this. also need to know where I go to delete history

    I am new to this I Pad Air and was downloading games and is still showing in waiting mode with the circle continually going Arian. I want to delete but unable to figure ot how. also needing to delete history, need a lot of help

    Hey Carolyn1951,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you have a few apps that only display "Waiting". The following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue, the answer may help you as well:
    App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
    Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
    Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
    If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

    I have a new ipad which needs itunes 10.7 or later to download my music onto it... but my apple laptop is not compatible with this as it is too old... can i use itunes with this ipad and apple laptop?

    To use itunes 10.7 you need to have Snow Leopard operating system installed
    These are the system requirements
    System Requirements:
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
    If you can run Snow Leopard you need to purchase it
