How can I import from a MiniDV tape and keep the clip order

A long time ago, I edited some MiniDV video together and recorded back out to a MiniDV tape using some older version of iMovie (ten years ago). I have latest version of iMovie (10.0.2) and have imported all of the edited video back into a new library. Unfortunately, the library is separating the video into separate clips and sorting them by the original timestamps of the original video (before editing). As a result, the clip are in a jumbled mess of an order.
Note that I am just importing the video from the MiniDV tapes so that I can export it as a Quicktime file. I really don't need the video to be split into clips at all. I would actually prefer to just import the entire video as one big clip.
Any idea how I can preserve the order of the

One thing that I have noticed is that Apples built-in camera is optimized for Face Time, so it sometimes captures at 30 frames per second, but if there is not a lot of motion in the frame, it might use 12 or 15 frames per second. So it has variable frame rates. This is great for FaceTime, but not so great if you are trying to keep the audio in sync.
The way to fix this is to use QuickTime Pro or MPEG Streamclip to save the movie out with identical specs except to specify 30 frames per second (or 25 in a PAL country).
I wonder if you are running into a similar problem in QTPlayer. If it is making a variable frame rate movie, you could fix it by dragging the movie into MPEG Streamclip and exporting as the same kind of movie, but with a fixed 30 fps frame rate. MPEG Streamclip is free and quite useful for stuff like this.
Just a thought.
Right now my QuickTime Player is hanging so I can't test to see if you could set the frame rate directly in QuickTime Player X.

  • How can I import contacts into a mailbox and overwrite the previous ones?

    Hey guys, so I am new to powershell. I understand some of the basics and am still trying to teach myself as much as I can.
    So I have been asked to automatically push our company's contacts to everyone's mailbox (around 60-70 contacts to 60-70 mailboxes) We use Office 365.
    They also want the contacts to sync to mobile phones, so I cannot used a shared contact list. It seems only the MAIN contact list can sync to a phone.
    So far I have used this:
    import-contactlist -csv -csvdata ([system.io.file]::readallbytes("PATH TO CSV FILE")) -identity USER
    This works just fine, but if there are any changes to the CSV and I run it again, it just doubles all the contacts instead of overwriting. Is there anyway I can overwrite the contacts?
    I have also tried this:
    Search-Mailbox -identity USER -SearchQuery kind:contacts -deletecontent
    This does delete the contacts I have created in the first place, but if there are any OTHER contacts that users have created, it would delete those as well.
    I feel like im headed in the right direction.. can anyone help?

    Okay I think I figured it out. After I import the contacts with: import-contactlist -csv -csvdata ([system.io.file]::readallbytes("PATH TO CSV")) -identity USER
    I can run this to find and delete each added contact: 
    $tcontacts = get-content PATH TO CSV WITH ONLY NAMES
    $zcontacts = get-content PATH TO CSV WITH NAMES OF MAILBOXES YOU WANT TO REMOVE CONTACTS FROM
    $ccontacts = "null"
    $scontacts = "null"
    $xcontacts = "null"
    foreach ($ccontacts in $tcontacts) {foreach ($scontacts in $zcontacts) {$xcontacts = $scontacts; Search-Mailbox -identity $xcontacts -SearchQuery kind:'contacts', $ccontacts -deletecontent -force}}
    I use xcontacts = scontacts because of pointer issues (i think?) but anyway, using
    $scontacts for the -identity doesnt work.
    This is a pretty rough script, and you guys could probably find a shorter one, but it works! Thanks

  • How can I turn Notes off in email and keep the notes in the Notes app?

    This is confusing but bear with me. A little history, I am using an ipad 2 and accessing several email accounts using the device. I recently enabled the gmail 2 step authentication. Then, I couldn't get the ipad to recognize the email and the explanations for setting up a device recognition were so confusing I abandoned it. Then I just downloaded the gmail app and was able to get into gmail that way, tedious to have to use 2 different apps but anyway. So I deleted the gmail account in Settings, but all my notes disappeared.
    After an hour of panic and searching I finally figured out that they are in my gmail account in a Notes folder. Whew!
    So 2 questions:
    1. Why are notes linked to email accounts, what purpose does this serve?
    2. Is there a way to move the notes to a separate folder so I can turn off the notes link?

    Hi Frances,
    In the Notes App on your iPad, several "accounts" can be set up to house your notes generated from various sources. For example, on my iPad, I have the following accounts:
    If I had a Gmail account with Notes enabled, I would also have Gmail listed. The reason they are linked to Gmail is because some people want to make notes for specific emails or in their email app. You can turn off notes in Gmail if you are just using Notes for notes that are not associated with your Gmail account.
    Any notes you create on your iPad using the Notes App, will go into your "All Notes" folder, and your "On My iPad" folder.
    If you have Notes turned on in iCloud on your iPad, and you select the iCloud account in Notes, then any Notes you create there will automatically be backed up to iCloud, and will also be sync'd to any device that also has Notes turned on in iCloud. This sync happens, basically, instantly as soon as you have a Wifi connection.
    In Settings>Notes, you can select which of your vaious Notes accounts you want to use as the Default account (the one that it will be on whenever you open Notes). I have mine defaulted to iCloud. Any time you would want to change to a different account for a particular note, you can click on Notes in the top left-hand corner, then on Accounts, and then select the account you want to go to.
    Hope that clears things up!
    Cheers,

  • How can I import all of my bookmarks and not just some of the like the import tab does?

    I tried to import my bookmarks but it took only a few bookmarks and left most of my list behind. I tried the import from IE many times and get the same result so how can I get all my bookmarks moved over?

    If you have problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
    If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
    * Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html):<br>File > Import and Export
    * Import the HTML file in Firefox:<br>Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML: From File

  • When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in, but always the same album (which I nevr asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I control what is going on and choose the album myself.

    When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in aafter about ten minutes, but always the same album (which I never asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I choose a different album myself and control the order and format?

    Thank you Winston for a helpful response and for reminding me of something which I found nearly a year ago and then lost (in my mind) because I did not use it. I am grateful for a correct answer but it still only achieves part of what I wanted.
    I can now choose my photos, decide how long they stay on screen and choose one of a variety of presentations. Two things I still can't do.
    One is to get it to play the photos in the chronological order in which I have carefully set them in an album; it still tends to be random and repetitive. The other is that I cannot get any of them them to saty on screen for more than about 20 seconds. I guess this is all due to the way Apple TV is constructed.
    But still thanks, nevertheless.

    Please clarify your "Elements 12". Is that as in Photoshop Elements 12 (photo editor) or Premiere Elements 12 (video editor). And, on what computer operating system is the program running?
    Your question is pointing to Photoshop Elements 12 and that you have posted in the wrong forum. If this is a Photoshop Elements 12 question as I believe it is, please post your thread in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum using the following link provided for your convenience

    when i import from my video camera into imovie the clips look tall and thin. tried different imports like full size or large have imported both sd and hd but seem to make no difference everything seems to run ok including sound. whats going on?  

    Hi Brad,
    when you use Streamclip to convert media, use the same name for the exported file (only with different extension). Then make a shell script calling
    touch -r origFileName.mp2 newFileName.mov
    This will copy the exact time and date from origFileName.mp2 to newFileName.mov
    The script may look like this (save the file, give an exec permission to it and call it in the right directory):
    #!/bin/bash
    for i in `ls *.mp2`; do
    NEWNAME=$(ls "$i" | sed -e 's/mp2/mov/')
    touch -r $i $NEWNAME
    done
    You may need to adapt the extension names used (in the example above .mp2 is input file to get the date/time stamp from and .mov is the output file to stamp.
    Have fun and cheers

  • HT1229 How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what.

    How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what. When you have several thousand photos it is difficult to determined what is what.
    Why does iPhoto have the ability to put photos in events and to give them descriptions if it doesn't transfer this info with the photo. I want to back my photos up to an external drive.

    The simplest way to achieve what you want is to back up the iPhoto Library. That will get everything.
    You sem to be exporting from iPhoto to the Finder. The Finder does not have the same organisation capabilities as iPhoto. If you're going to do that you need to understand some of the differences between the two.
    Event Name will become  Folder Name.
    'Description Name' I guess is the Title you give the Photo
    Jpeg Number is the File Name assigned by your camera.
    So: File -> Export
    Set your Kind to Jpeg
    Select your preferred Quality
    Check the Boxes at 'Titles and Descriptions' and Location Information
    Under FIlename select 'Use Title'
    Click on Export. In the Next Window choose a New Folder as your export destination and then Name that as you prefer

  • I have many of those lost photos on my iPod.  How can I import those to my MacBook Pro without the iTunes synchronization kicking in and removing them?

    I lost rather a lot of photos on a corrupted external storage device.  I have many of those photos on my iPod.  How can I import those
    photos into my MacBook Pro without the iTunes synchronization function kicking in and effectively deleting those photos I want to
    import from that iPod?  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as those photos now only reside on that iPod...

    The photos you synced to your iPod through iTunes are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnails of those photos.  So if you do manage to get them off your iPod, they will be quite small in size compared to the original ones you lost.
    In order to get them off of your iPod, you'll need the help of some sort of 3rd party software. Here is one option.

  • How can I import my OE address book and IE favorites????

    Please help! Getting ready to upgrade from 9.2.2 .to 10.4.4 but...
    how can I import my Outlook Express address book (full of my vital email contacts!) to Mac Mail and my Internet Explorer favorites to another program supported by 10.4.4? Which program is the easiest and best to replace IE?
    Thanks for you help.

    Hi Margaret
    Tiger comes with Safari included - which will replace IE. there are other free browsers like Firefox, Camino, Opera ..... you'll find a huge list at http://darrel.knutson.com/mac/www/browsers.html . But for starters, I'd stick with Safari. You can easily ( assuming dsl or cable) download & try out others later.
    I don't have a mac IE to check - but look under the file menu & you may find a "export favorites" command. If you do, choose that and export as html. Save it to your desktop or somewhere convenient. You can check it's worked ok double-clicking the file - you should see a looong list of headings & favorites. They won't be clickable links, so don't worry about that - just quickly check that there's nothing obviously missing. This file can be used in Safari by choosing safari-file-import bookmarks & choosing the file you saved.
    getting your OE contacts in : check out http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad808.html . Again I don't have OE available - but if there's an 'export contacts' available - it should be easy.
