How can I record a project that's about 2 hrs long ?

That and keeping the quality on par with tv

As long as the file is 2 hours or less, don't worry about the file size. iDVD will handle the compression no matter what the size of your video.
If you are worried about the file size in general though (that it takes up too much space) you should export as a Quicktime Movie and uncheck the +Make Movie Self-Contained+ box. This is a much faster export with a much smaller size, but keeps original quality. For more information in case you are interested:

How can I save iMovie projects that are in process to my external hard drive?

I am working on several iMovie projects that won't be finalized until I have collected all raw footage. I want to save what I have done thus far to my external hard drive. I have tried to click and drag tot he drive but it won't drop. What am I missing?

OK you need to click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK in iMovie. Then you can drag within iMovie. You must hold the Command key down as you drag, or you will COPY not MOVE.
If you are trying to save space, the large files are in the Events. You can also move them by Command Drag within iMovie.

How can I open a project that has been created with Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration software, on my trial version of Premier Pro CC?

Hi,
I'm working with a colleague who is using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration software on his PC version of Premier Pro CC. I am using a mac and have a trial version of Premier Pro CC. When I try to open a project file that he has sent me I get an error message-
"Missing renderer: This project was last used with Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA), which is either not available or not certified on this system. Mercury Playback Engine Software Only will be used."
When I click OK and locate the files I get a message saying "File format not supported".
Can anyone tell me what to do so that we can share project files?
Many thanks,
Jessie

Shouldn't really be the MPE at fault here ... what is the codec of the footage/sequence/project?
Second, can you create a new project in PrPro, then in the media browser, import that sequence from the other project?

How can I recover a project that I optimized? It will not work after the fact. Can I go back in time without the "time machine?"

I'm freaking out here. Ok, so I've spent an entire school year filming and editing a video for an afterschool program I work for. I finally completed the project but was having errors every time I tried to export the movie. I was advised to optimize all the video clips before exporting the movie so it won't be as much of a load on my computer during the export process. I did that but now files are missing, all the audio and video clips are not lined up correctly, and it won't allow me to edit anything. Also, I can't even play back the video anymore. When I press play, I see nothing and hear audio from a completely different project in my library! I was told to check in the "iMovie Original Movies" in the "Movies" section of my computer to recover the original, unoptimized movie file. But nothing is there. Now I'm stuck with a movie I can't do anything with and all the students are depending on this video being completed. I do not have a "Time Machine" backup, which I'm regretting now more than ever right now. Does anyone have any suggestions that could help me??? I'm desperate.

All I can think of at the moment is to use the old standby of deleting the preference file. This can often fix problems with iMovie.
Go to your Home folder <your user name>/Library/Preferences (NOT the Library folder at the top level in Macintosh HD). Similar to Lion, on Mountain Lion (10.8.3), the Home Library folder will be hidden (unlike pre-Lion OS X versions). To access it, click and hold down Go in the Finder menu bar, then press and hold down the Option key on the keyboard - the Library folder will appear in the drop down list. Slide the pointer down to Library and, as you release the pointer, the folder will open in Finder. Now you can navigate to the Preferences folder.
In your user Library/Preferences folder, locate a file named "com.apple.iMovieApp.plist". With iMovie closed, drag this file to the Desktop. When next opened, iMovie will create a fresh preference file with the default settings (this happens in the background as iMovie is loading).
If iMovie now opens and appears to be working properly, you can change the default settings in the menu item "IMovie > Preferences", as desired. Also, it's now safe to drag the old preference file to the Trash. Trashing the file will not harm any existing Events or Projects.
Note that these instructions are for iMovie '11 (the latest version being 9.0.9). For users on earlier versions of iMovie, the preference file has a different but similar name. For example, for iMovie '09 (that's version 8.0.6) the file is named "com.apple.iMovie8.plist". Earlier versions may or may not have a number in the name, for example, "com.apple.iMovie.plist".

How can i copy multiple projects that reference one event without having to duplicate the event over and over for each project?

Each project has compound and regular media in them, and every time i attempt to duplicate the projects and have them reference one event on the new drive the rest of my media shows up missing and will not reconect. Wondering if anyone has had to tackle this problem. I have a limited amount of space on my Drobo thunderbolt drives and need to optomize it. Thank you

So i called apple and after a few hours on the phone and them taking control of my computer they pretty much told me they had never seen this before and were sorry they couldnt assist in any way. The long explination is that i work for a company that films their footage in one long take and then sends it to me to cut into segments, i then have to copy these small edits which are all in different projects and the one large event over to a new hard drive to give to a guy to put titles on and then send back to the company. when i do this copy of project final cut X forces me to also duplicate the event leaving me with "event" (fcp1) and so on depending on how many projects there are. When i dont duplicate event and project together the whole project shows up as missing media and final cut X does not recognize that the original footage is being lost and therefor i am not even given the oportunity to reconect media. I have tried all conventional ways of copying and transfering and have an extensive background in editing and have never come across this, but then again this is final cut X and something that i try and stray away from if i have a choice in systems.
to answer Tony im using copy project and event because it is the only option that works (copy project and used media works as well but only creates more confusion with having to rename files) I would prefer to be able to just copy the first project and event and then be able to source the rest of the project files from the first event i copied over.

How can I publish a project so that the link to embedded flv is not lost?

When publishing an Adobe Captivate 3 project, the embedded flv file does not play.
How can I publish a project so that the link to embedded flv is not lost?

I am not really sure, if I understand you right. But try this:
Don’t place a picture, but draw a box and use the "Fill" command to put a picture into it.
(Don’t click onto the color swatch, but onto the blue link "Fill".)
In this case responsivness should work.

How can I split a project. In iPhoto one could choose that option from the Events dropdown on the toolbar

How can I split a project? In iPhoto I could use the Event tab in the tool bar and there was an option to split the event but I can't find it on Apeture 3.

Hi Wayne. Aperture and iPhoto differ in many -- perhaps all -- ways. They were designed (afaict) with radically different users in mind.
To move images into a new Project, select them, then execute "File→New→Project" and check "Move selected items to new project".

How can I open a project made in 2000 on Final Cut Pro to migrate it to a new version?

how can I open a project made in late 2000 on Final Cut Pro to migrate it to a new version to finish editing it? files, timeline and unfinished edit are all stored on hard drive since early 2001, with all the original miniDV tapes still in hand

Do you still have legacy FCP? If you not you need to find someone who will open the project in FCP6.0.6 or later. Export an XML file of the project. Use 7toX to convert it to an XML format that works with FCPX. Import the converted XML file to FCP.

How can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?

Before the latest release of iMovie I easily managed to export a project on an external usb drive and re-import such project on a different Mac... In the latest iMovie version, however, I cannot see my drive any more..
So, how can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?
Thank you in advance

I'm not sure this is the best way, but you could create a new iMovie Library, move your project to that Library, then close the library. Then move the Library to your USB drive. Then, on the other Mac, in iMovie open the Library.

How can I share a project specific calendar I created on Entourage 2008 ?

How can I share a project specific calendar I created on Entourage 2008 without showing my personal calendar? I created a project specific calendar using Entourage 2008 for Mac. I want to add someone that uses Outlook from a PC. We are in the same exchange network. I have added this person in under the sharing tab, but don't see a way to invite her to view it, and it does not appear on her Outlook list of shared calendars. I was able to invite her to view my main calendar, but not the project specific one. Any suggestions?

How can I get a movie that I created in IDVD to load in ITunes and stream to Apple TV?

How can I get a movie that I created in IDVD to load in ITunes and stream to Apple TV?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't, but you have a few alternatives.
Best option: If you made the movie on the DVD in iMovie (or even another editing application) and still have the project, go back to the project and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
Next best option: If you still have the original movie that you put on the DVD, open it in QuickTime and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
Worst option: Use something like Mpegstreamclip (Quicktime Mpeg2 playback component required) to convert the DVD to h264.

How can you open a project file backup if the main project won't load?

This has only started happening in the last couple of weeks. I'm on Logic 10.0.7, OSX 10.8.5. On one particular project, it will be loading seemingly normally, then it just disappears with no crash log, nothing.
Presumably there is some sort of corruption in the project file.
In the old pre package days, you would just go to the project file backups folder and pick a previous one. Bingo, you have only lost a little bit of work.
Now when I show package contents, the project file backups folder has project data files that won't open logic, and are invisible until you have logic open. Which I can't do.
Rue the day I selected the package option rather than folder.
Any suggestions?
Or to put the question another way, how can I convert the project data in the project file backups folder to a file that Logic can recognise and open?

Having his install the trial is the way to go. Working between AI versions is a pain and as you are finding out almost impossible with 5 versions between the collaborators.

I have an old project with AVCHD clips and I want to import the clips again with surround sound. How can I relink the project clips to the re-imported ones without doing the project from the begining?

I have an old project with AVCHD clips and I want to import the clips again with surround sound. How can I relink the project clips to the re-imported ones without doing the project from the begining?
I have a sony handicam and I imported the clips to iMovie and they lost quality and converted the audio to stereo. I want to import the project to final cut X and import the AVCHD in 1080p and surround sound and export the movie in bluray. Can I relink the clips without editing everything again?
thanks!

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings
