How can i put a 3GP video file into i movie?

I have put all my baby sisters videos into imovie to make a CD...
but the most important one (the one where she was born) wont go in because its not the (mov) format, its (3GP). Can anybody help?

You could use QuickTime Pro to export your file to DV Stream. This .dv file will work with any version of iMovie.
Because your .3gp file has small dimensions the export will resize it and image quality will suffer.

How can I cut up a video file into smaller bits?

I shot around 3 hrs of 1920x1080 AVCHD in 2 clips (a wide shot of the stage of a musical production I performed in) It all fits in the internal memory of my camera.
Two friends shot medium and closeups in Standard AVI with a view of making a DVD (2 disks)
They will be editing it in Premier Pro standard def.(a 3 camera production!)
When I convert my AVCHD to AVI SD, each of my 2 reduced clips is still too big to fit on one dvd disk as a data disk.
How can I cut each clip in half to fit on a total of 4 disks so I can send them the video?
If I make two AVCHD projects out of each clip in PE9 and share as DV, the quality is badly degraded. Near vertical lines become very jagged and the picture is much softer than if it had been originally shot in SD.
If I make a PE9 DV project and import the AVCHD instead, I get the red line and the picture once rendered is no better.
I have seen references to a lossless codec. Would this do the job in PE9 and how do I implement it?
The 4Media converter does a much better job of converting to SD but how can I cut the new file in half?

I would point out that Standard Def here in Australia(576) is 12% better vertical resolution that in USA(480).
So European & Aussie SD doesnt look quite so bad compared with full HD
In fact if you stand more than 4 metres from a 40" screen, most people cant see the difference between good SD and full HD.because the eye cant resolve such fine detail at that dustance even with perfect vision.
This is providing the original material was shot with a good camera capable of HD and it was downscaled properly.
Converters
I. downloaded trials of the following converters and rank them in the following order
1. 4Media version 6 AVCHD to AVI converter ($37)
2. Prism
3. AVS
4. Wondershare
5. PE9 making seperate SD projects
I found them obviously different with PE9 right at the bottom of the scale! I will never use it again to make a SD project.
Blurryness and jagged or twinkling diagonal lines were the most common faults.
4Media shone above all the others. When used on the highest bit rate was only slightly softer than the ACVHD material with no jagged diagonal lines but it produced an AVI file the same size as the AVCHD.
When I set the bit rate so the AVI file produced was half the original AVCHD, the quality was equal to original SD video Shot on my old Sony Camera that cost me $2000 5 years ago.
I can split the files with this program too!
Judging picture quality
All pictures will have errors and be less than ideal. It's just a matter of how many are acceptable.
The ONLY way to evaluate how good a picture is to view it on the best possible setup. You can't judge vertical resolution on an old CRT TV which is a different number of lines anyway (525 or 625) so evaluation is impossible. Digital TV thru a set top box to a CRT TV is far worse than the original analog.
Because everyone knows SD is worse then HD but it should only be half as bad (576 is about half of 1080)
Because I wear glasses that perfectly correct my focus and slight astigmatism, I have a good rough method of calibrating my eyes so I can relatively judge quality of different pictures on different systems.
I vary the difference between myself and the screen so the left and right edges are in line with my fingers inside the frames of my glasses!
This is equivalent to sitting two thirds from the screen in the average picture theatre where you can comfortably sit without being disturbed by deficiencies of most film and HD projection.
Applying this to my computer screen I can now judge pretty well. If a picture looks really good under these circumstamces it IS good and I can easily see any meaningfull errors.
Using my calibration "method", I found that full HD on my 40" LCD is noticeably sharper than the best cinema in our city (we have 39 of them, some with 8 theaters ) and after enquiries found they are all 1440x768 and not true HD at all.If you get there earlier than when they boot up their projector you can often see this in their boot up screen.
Worse still they slightly defocus them so you can see the pixel structure close up!
The now rare 35mm Film projection ranks even lower by the time copies are distributed.
You can't buy analog TVs or CRT screens anymore here anyway and Analog TV finishes here completely next year.

How can I group fetched Adobe Ideas files into projects?

How can I group fetched Adobe Ideas files into projects? The overview tutorial did not warn to organize your files prior to the one time fetch option. In Draw FAQs it is stated that drawings can be organized into projects. However, I am unable to determine how. If anyone has insight, please advise. I have so many ideas files that navigating Illustrator Draw is difficult.

If you go to the Overview page, there is a thread about importing from Ideas. It says:
"To organize your files prior to importing into Draw, you can put them in folders in Creative Cloud or on your desktop. Individual Ideas files imported to Draw will come in as single-page projects. Each folder containing Ideas files will be imported as a Draw project containing the imported Ideas files."
Not sure if you can put individual drawings into Projects together on the device, but would be interested to hear if you come up with a solution.

How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X?

How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X? I'd like to modifiy the file which I have only as a PDF/A.

There's two answers if you want to modify the file:
You can temporarily turn off PDF/A Mode in your preferences, so they don't open as read-only. The problem would be if you do something to the file that violated the PDF/A standard, so you should always run a Preflight check afterwards to make sure.
If you want to remove the PDF/A header tag, use Preflight again - it's on the Print Production Panel in Acrobat X Pro (which may be hidden, use the options menu on the Tools Pane to show it). There's a profile called "Remove PDF/A information" - choose this and press Analyze and Fix. Nothing else about the file will be altered but when you save and reopen it all the editing tools will become active.

how can i convert 2k resolution dpx files of a movie to DCP and will they be able to open the harddisk and view the files?

AFAIK, this is beyond the capabilities of FCPX/Compressor. This company makes a plug-in, which I have to say I have no experience with. Here is a thread that may give you some other ideas. Good luck.

HT1386 I do not have internet on my home computer, how can I put my pics and music into iTunes so I don't lose them all.

How can I put my photos and music in iTunes so I don't lose them if something happens to my phone

You don't need an internet connection to sync the phone with iTunes- cable or WiFi

I can't get audio or video files into iTunes from my computer. Please help!

Using Windows 7: My wife and I have seperate iTune accounts in our respective computer profiles. In my profile and iTune account, everything works fine. In my wife's account, she's always being asked to sign into iTunes as an administrator. Also, her account will not allow her to transfer music or video files into iTunes by drag and drop. If I click on "Add File to Library" or "Add Folder To Library", It will add the file but double it in the process so there are two of everything. And to make matters worse, when iTunes open in her profile, it changes the color of the Windows theme. Someone PLEASE help me. Thank you.

Am I correct in saying that the file is on your computer? Is it in a format that iTunes recognises?
If so, open iTunes, click on the small icon in the top left of the iTunes window and select Add File to Library. Navigate to the folder where the file is located and select it, click on Open. The song is now in your Library, but don't forget that the song's title, artist etc. will reflect the information within the file. So if the file did not have a song title or artist, it will appear in your iTunes as something like "Track 01", by "Unknown Artist".

How do i go about acheiving this?

Autoplay is not universally supported by all devices. Many smatphone data plans can't handle the burden of preloaded and auto playing media. There's nothing you can do to change this b/c mobile devices simply ignore the parameter.   All that said, why are you still using player plugins? You don't need them with HTML5 video.

How can I send a large video file from my iPhone 4?

How can I send (by text) a (fairly) large video file from my iPhone 4 without it getting compressed first?
If that's not possible is there a way to uncompress the video file one it is received onto the receiving iPhone?
Or is there a way to sync or transfer a video file from iPhone to iPhone?

ExFAT would be the best file system format, as it will handle files greater than 4GB.
If exFAT is not available, go for FAT32.
Just FAT is too limiting, so avoid that

How can I put Lightroom 4 video into a format for viewing on DVDs?

I have made as slideshow in Lightroom 4. It translates well into MP4. This MP4 file runs on some computers and all BluRay players I've tested.
I want this slideshow to play on all DVD playeres. How can I take the MP4 file... and make it into an AVI or other file format? Is there a better file format than AVI?
How should I proceed? Thanks.

I don't do a lot of video. But when I do I use Adobe Premiere Elements. Since I don't do a lot of video, I don't have the most current version. But it is a pretty good program. You can use AVI or mp4 and I think some other file formats. You can trim your video and add special effects and transitions as needed. There are other video editing programs as well. I started with a program called Pinnacle Studio. I prefer PE, however. I'm sure there are numerous other video editing software programs available. Just do a Google search.

How can I relocate my iMovie08 video files to another folder or drive?

How can I find and/or change the path iMovie uses to store and access my video and project files?
I know that this was possible in iMovie HD but I have looked through iMovie 08 and can not find any indication of where iMovie 08 is looking or storing the video/project files.
Anyone know where I should look... or how I can change the path the program uses to store these files.

You can change the path where Events are stored on the import screen. External Drives must be formatted as HFS+ or HFS+ Journalled to be available.
For Events you want to move, click "VIEW/SHOW EVENTS BY VOLUME".
Now you can drag and drop Events in the Events Source List to another drive by dragging and dropping. iMovie will automatically create any folders it needs.
It is best to leave Projects where they are.

How can you convert a large video file from the photo cache of an iphone3g to a playable file on a pc?

how does one transfer a large ( 1gb) video file from an iphone3g photo cache to a pc in a playable format?

The same way you would import any photo/video from a digital camera. Connect the iPhone to the computer and import the file. Then it can be played with Quicktime or any software that supports that file format.
