How can I import and edit Divx/Xvid codec .avi files?

Recently I changed of computer, I had Premiere CS3 in Windows and now I have CS4 in Mac. The problem is that in windows I could edit divx and xvid files, but now, when I try to import any divx/xvid file premiere has an error saying "UNSOPPORTED COMPRESSION IN FILE".
I have installed divx and xvid codecs on the Mac and I can watch those videos too, but Premiere doesn't accept them.
Any idea? Thanks

Mike,
You might want to take a look at the file closely, and then decide if you wish to edit it. Know, that if you go to DVD, or any compressed format/CODEC, after the edit, there will be another quality hit.
There are CODEC's that are basically used to play a file, and then those that play, plus allow editing. DivX and Xvid, are in the former group. There could be some editors that will edit DivX, but I do not know of them. PrPro cannot effectively use the DivX CODEC to edit. Some have gotten very lucky, once the CODEC is installed, but usually one looses either the Video, or the Audio. In the cases, where it worked, OOS issues were almost always present.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can I import and edit my iWeb (2006 version) with newly updated iWeb 2011?

Hi:
I was using the iWeb from iLife 2006, until I just updated to iLife 2011. I tried copying and pasting my site into "sites", but when I opened iWeb for the first time; it appeared I coud not open that file. I looks like I may have to rebuild it from scratch, which would be enormously time consuming and difficult. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

Well no, iWeb will not be able to open that file because it is your published site and iWeb has no import facility, so is unable to open any html files/published files.
iWeb always has and still does store all your website information in a file called domain.sites which can be found under your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Remember to look in your User/Library and not your System Library, as iWeb is not there.
Find this domain.sites file and ensure that it is in the same place - put the file in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and then just double click on your domain.sites file and iWeb 09 should open it.
Find this file and you won't have to re-build yoru site from scratch. Remember that it is this file that you need to back up, as iWeb has no import facility.

How can I import and edit photos on my laptop and synch with PS Elements?

I have my Photoshop elements library on my desktop. Can Lightroom help with this, or do I need to update to Creative Cloud with Photoshop?

If you have Elements only, your best choice would be to store your image library as well as your catalog on an external drive and plug the EHD alternatively to both computers. Be sure the EHD is recognized with the same drive letter on both computers. Ask if you need help for that solution.
Lightroom offers other powerful solutions, you don't need the Cloud version with Photoshop.

Vertical Color Lines on my imported file how can i remove and edit

Vertical Color Lines on my imported file how can i remove and edit

If you haven't used After Effects before, you should understand that posession of a template is NO guarantee of success without prior AE knowledge. It appears you haven't used AE before.
The color bars indicate a missing file, and your screen shot reveals no text layers. Looking at the precomp names, opening the one called, "edit text" might be useful.
I will guess that the following would be even more useful:

Without knowledge of the AE basics, templates are pretty much useless.

How can I open and edit files that were developed and published by ftp to my host on my old macbook, which I can no longer access.

How can I open and edit files that were developed and published via ftp to my host on my old macbook, which I can no longer access. The HD containing the files cannot be accessed. I want to be able to download the published files to be edited in iweb?

You CAN'T download published files and then edit them in iWeb because iWeb can't open them - it has no import facility so is unable to open any html or css files - a previously published site.
You can download these files yes, but you'll need to use them as a guide or to cut and paste text from there whilst you re-build your site in iWeb.
The only other way is to download the files and then open them with an html editor such as TextWrangler or use one of the other web design programmes out there that is capable of importing html and css such as Dreamweaver of Flux 4.
These are your only alternatives as iWeb can't import and if you want to continue to use iWeb, then you'll have to re-build your site from scratch. If you do just remember to back up your domain.sites file this time around - it is found under your User/Library/Applicaion Support/iWeb/domain.sites.

First, iOS 5.0.1 does not run on a MacBook Pro. You should correct that on your profile.
Please check out the iMovie forum, where you will get a quick answer to your question. This forum is for the MacBook Pro hardware.

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
There are numerous converters online to convert the .VRO files into .VOB or MP4 or other which should be supported by Premiere Elements.
Maybe explore the free MPEG Streamclip for the conversion

Let us start here and then we will decide what next based on your reply.

Not enough space on my new SSD drive to import my data from time machine backup, how can I import my latest backup minus some big files?

I just got a new 256GB SSD drive for my mac, I want to import my data from time machine backup, but its larger than 256GB since it used to be on my old optical drive. How can I import my latest backup keeping out some big files on the external drive?

Hello Salemr,
When you restore from a Time Machine back up, you can tell it to not transfer folders like Desktop, Documents. Downloads, Movies, Music, Pictures and Public. Take a look at the article below for the steps to restore from your back up.

How to store ,retreive and edit data from an xml file

I am new to XML. I am creating a phone book in JSP with backend as an XML file.How can I store retrieve and edit datas from a jsp file.
Please provide me with examples.I dont want to use bean.
Please provide examples

You will have to do some leg-work yourself. You will probably want to use DOM to parse and manipulate your XML data. Xerces (xml.apache.org) is a good open source parser. There are extensive examples on their site.

How can I import photos edited with Photos on iPad to iPhoto on Mac, including all edits??

During a long vakantion trip, I took many pictures and imported them in Photos on my iPad. And during the trip I edited many photos: croppig, changing colors and brightness, etc.
Now back home, I would like to import all these photos into iPhoto on my Mac, including all the edits of course.
I imported a few hundred and saw at once that the edits were not imported completely and not correctly (probably most is not imported).
Can anyone please advise how this should be done.
Thank you very much,
Frans

Making a trip, I import, select and edit pictures, as I have the time to do so. So, when I come back home, I expect importing to the Mac and reviewing only.
You are caught in the transit. If you still had iOS 7, that would have been no problem. Your edits in iPhoto on the iPad would have transferred to the Mac, and you would even have been able to undo the Camera filters. Unfortunately, iOS 8 is ahead of the photo applications on the Mac. The sidecar files with the edits transfer to the mac, but no software that I know of can read them. It will be better in a few month.
Do you know of any other application which can be used on both, iOS and OS X, to edit photos??
Right now, the only app I know is Pixelmator.
Pixelmator on the iPad can save and open files on iCloud Drive. But you would need to upgrade your Mac to Yosemite to use the new Pixelmator for Mac and to be able to access iCloud Drive from the Mac.

How do I import (and edit) a QT file from a DVD?

Have been sent some footage on a DVD which I believe is in Quicktime, and I need to import it into iMovie(3.0.3) and edit it: How do i do this? the files are all marked .VOB, .IFO and .BUP - I can't actually open them and play them on the Quicktime7 player, but on the DVD menu the file is named as "[scenes] in Quicktime"
I am not particularly adept technically and can't follow many of the posts on this topic, so i don't know if this has already been answered! (sorry...)
I can play the DVD using my DVD player, although there are no chapters, etc. I just need to extract one scene and edit it into another film project (urgently).
Help!
Jonno Roberts

Viewing DVD (MPEG-2 format) files using QuickTime requires the purchase of the MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20 from Apple Store).
After you install the MPEG-2 Playback Component I would also use MPEG Streamclip 1.5.1 (free download) to "export" (just the chapter you need) to DV Stream.
This new .dv file can be edited and exported using iMovie or added to other iMovie Projects.
Hope this helps.

Can I import and edit 1080p and 720p in imovie 11

I just got a Sony NX 70u camcorder. First tests with 1080 60i easily edited in imovie 11. Eventually I want to film in either 1080 60p or 720 60p. I have never done that since this is the first camcorder I owned that has those files as an option. I know the 60p will be more work for the computer. Can I import the 60p files into imovie 11 without any other software and can I edit those files just as easily as the 60i? I have a 21.5" mac 2.7Ghz Intel core 5i and 8 GB of memory.

I should add one more thing.
I think your request is a reasonable one. It would be nice if iMovie would support 60P since more and more cameras have this feature. You can click iMovie/Provide Feedback and tell Apple that you would like this feature added.
If I had to guess why iMovie has not added support for 60P in iMovie, it would that they would need to make it easy for the average consumer to understand how they can import 60P but output (Share) only 30P.
