How can I turn my video into a still photo to be copied for a book?

I accidentally took a 2 second video with my iPhone. I just wanted a still photo. I want to put the photo in a photo book. I know I can shorten, or trim, the viedo. But can I stop it entirely so it becomes a photo that I can print? How do I do that?

There's an App for that....
Go to the Apps store and search for Megaphone. There are a few Apps available that may or may not meet your needs. You will have to read the descriptions and reviews to decide - some of them are free.

How can I turn captured video into a DVD

I am a premiere newbie. Can anyone tell me the basic steps to take captured video (already can do..) and turn it into a DVD which can be read on a regular TV-DVD player.? Even a few basic starter steps to send me down the right road would be helpful and VERY appreciated. I can capture to Premiere (Pro CS4), but then what? Thank you!!

OK, you've got your material Captured from your camera. It should appear in your Project Panel. At this point, your Timeline will be empty. This is where the editing comes in. I'll keep it simple, as there are a couple of ways to do this.
1.) from the Project Panel, drag each Video Clip to the Timeline's Video Track 1. The accompanying Audio wll come in with it, and should go to Audio Track 1, below that little "beltline," that separates your Video (above) and Audio (below).
2.) you can alter the Duration of your Clip by click-dragging on the Head, to shorten it there, or from the Tail, to shorten it there. If you have material that you wish to remove from anywhere but the Head or Tail, look in the Toolbox, usually to the lower-right, but it can be moved. There is a Razor icon. Place the CTI (Current Time Indicator - that little triangle with a red line, that moves when you hit the Spacebar) where you wish to Cut with the Razor. Click with the Razor selected and both Video and Audio will be sliced. Move to where you wish this extra footage to end, and do the same thing. Rt-click on this new "Clip" and Choose Ripple Delete. This will remove that segment and close up the other parts of the Clip. Repeat for all of the rest of your media Assets.
3.) add any Transitions, music, etc.
4.) when done, you will Export this to Adobe Encore for DVD authoring. There are several ways to do this, but Adobe Dynamic Link is probably the easiest way.
5.) in Encore (if you use DL all selected Timelines will come into that program w/ Audio and Video), you create your navigation with Menus (Encore has a full Library of these).
6.) Check Project
7.) when done, chose File>Burn to DVD.
Note: use good media, like Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden and burn at the slowest possible speed.
Done and good luck,
Hunt
PS remember that there are many ways to do the steps above. The manual and the Help files will go into a lot more detail, and you might find that you like another way better. Read, and then experiment.

How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that it can be played and streamed from my Mac?

How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that I can play the content on my Mac and also stream it to my Apple TV? A few years ago, I transferred all of my home videos onto DVD but now would really like to put these onto my Mac and stream them through Apple TV to watch on the "big screen". Any advice would be most welcome!! Thanks

MPEG Streamclip.
Apple do not have their "own" format. You need to convert your DVDs to H.264 though.

Can I turn greenscreen video into video with transparent background (instead of default black backgr

Can I turn greenscreen video into video with transparent background to overlay on another video in another program. probably export as avi. I know I can in after effects but comfortable with premiere. basically want to turn the greenscreen from a black to transparent background ppro cs6 windows
[ email address removed by forum host ]

Harm is correct. It would be better to edit in the program where you keyed out the green. However, if you really must ...
DPX is one file per frame. While you may not be able to open it from Windows, it is only because Windwos has not been told to open them in Photoshop.
The whole point of the DPX file is to have a visually lossless storage of your frames that is designed to be used between applications (just what you want to do): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Picture_Exchange
However, if you prefer to use another option that you are more comfortable with, you can use PNG.
Or...
If you insist on a single video, use the Animation codec for Quicktime.
In any case, you need a picture format or video CODEC that can store an Alpha Channel.
Or.....
Export the video with the black and use a Luma key in the next application.
Or ...
Export the video with the black, and then export a video of just the alpha channel as a blabk and white image where black is transparent when used as a track matte, and then in the next application use the video of the alpha channel as a track matte.
Since you haven't said what the other application is or why you want to use it, we are having a little trouble offering a specific solution.

How can I avoid importing video into Lightroom CC?

Hi all,
I am using Lightroom CC on my iMac to catalogue my photos, a task I really find Lightroom perfect for.
However, I am also using my DSLR for shooting video´s, which I edit with Final Cut Pro. Lightroom is _not_ a part of the video import/editing workflow, so I really do not want to have Lightroom import all videos in addition to all my photos.
My question is:
How can I set up Lightroom so that it no longer import videos?
My current workflow is tedious, and really not one I like: I import everything into Lightroom, and then manually delete all the video´s.
Your help is kindly appreciated!

Lr isn't particularly good at separating out individual files types within the import window. However, some of the third party plugins usually provide the sort of filtering you require. Unfortunately, I can't recall exactly which ones do, but you could try this one from Rob Cole as a starter http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/ImporterLrPlugin/ or http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/OttomanicImporterLrPlugin/

How can I turn "pages" files into a bound book?

Hi,
I am putting together a portfolio for tenure and promotion at my college. I'd like to create the manuscript using Pages2 so that I can add photos of my students in the practicum setting, etc. Then, I'd like to print my book through Apple's iphoto. Is that possible? I would love to know how to do this.
(I did find an online company, but they post the books online too, and I can't do that because of permissions -- many of my photos were taken in public schools.)
Thank you,

iPhoto has a very good yearbook template. Simply add your photos to iPhoto and select the photos and click on the 'book' icon on the toolbar. Assemble your book from there and then print it to a pdf or send it to Apple's publisher. This is really the easiest way to do it.
While I think this is cool for beginners, I personally like using Pages because I can play with the formatting more.
To make a booklet in Pages use the free CocoaBooklet. This neat app takes individual pages and imposes them in the correct order in a pdf document booklet. It is indispensable for long, extended projects.
Since pdf's are cross platform you may be able to bring a CD with the pdf into a printing company and have them bind the book for you. You can also do it yourself with Book Binding Equipment. I saw a fairly inexpensive set up at Staples.
For my booklets I have created two different custom paper sizes in my print dialogue:
Letter half (5.5x8.5)
Legal half (7x8.5)
I put my Pages docs in one of these sizes and work on the pages one at a time until I am done. Then I use CocoaBooklet to make them into a pdf booklet.
To create these custom page sizes so they are available in every doc:
1. Open Pages and select a blank doc.
2. Open the Inspector and click on the tab to the far left to open the page setup dialogue.
3. Click on the Page setup button.
4. In the top pull-down menu (Pages Attributes) select 'custom page size'.
5. Click on the 'new' button
6. Create your new custom size by entering the measurements in the boxes provided and then name the size.
7. Click o.k
Now this size will appear anytime you go to page setup.

How can I turn a Video TS folder into a video DVD?

My superdrive can burn a dual-layer DVD, and I understand iDVD can handle it.
(My Video TS folder is too large to fit on an ordinary DVD.)
But I can't figure out how to burn the Video TS onto the DVD +R DL so that I end up with a DVD that can be played in a DVD player, on TV.
I don't find any info in Help or in the forums, using relevant key words.
I have an older version of Toast that can handle dual layer, but got drive errors when trying to do it with Toast.
Any hints, advice or direction to any written help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I only have a Video TS folder, no DVD. If it is possible for Video TS folders to be copy protected, then it's possible that could be the problem. Is there an easy way to find out? No error message referenced any protections.
I can play the Video TS folder with DVD Player on the Mac, but I suppose that would be possible whether or not the folder is copy protected.
I'm cleaning up a drive I "inherited," so I could live without this "virtual DVD" if it can't be transferred to a physical DVD disk. But it would be nice to know what's going wrong.
Do you understand the error messages, and do you think it means the folder is copy protected?
========
Wait a sec... I suppose one solution would be to copy the folder onto a dual layer data DVD (the folder is 6.3 gigs), and then it could still be played on the computer using DVD Player, it just couldn't be played in a normal DVD player for watching on TV (right?). That would clear up the space on the drive.
But alas, even that didn't work. I tried using the Finder to burn a copy of the folder to a dual layer DVD (as just a data DVD) and got this error: "Burning the disc failed because an unexpected error occurred. (Error code 0x8002006E)"
This makes me think there's something going on besides possible copy protection... I AM able to make a copy of the folder right on the same hard drive (just tested it), so if some kind of copy protection existed, surely it would have prevented that. Since I'm able to copy it to the same drive, but not to a dual layer DVD, it must be a problem not of copy protection but somehow related to using the DVD +R DL (which my computer says my superdrive can handle). Think?

How can I turn mac mini into wifi access point for iPhone?

Hi,
I do not have a wifi router.
I want my iPhone to be able to use my broadband internet instead of the slow EDGE internet.
The simple solution would be to buy a wifi router whih would enable my iPhone to access the wifi home network.
*What if I could turn the mac mini into a wifi access point?* That would save me from the hassle of buying a wifi router.
Any idea how to do this??

I did this.
I think I am doing something wrong. I am doing something wrong in this setting *from ethernet to airport*.
see attached screenshot.
To start Internet sharing on a computer using Mac OS X:
1. Open System Preferences, click Sharing, and then click Internet.
2. Select how you would like to share your Internet connection, and then click Start. You
can choose to share your Internet connection with AirPort-enabled computers,
computers with built-in Ethernet, or both.
Note:
If your Internet connection and your local network use the same port (built-in
Ethernet, for example), contact your ISP before you turn on Internet sharing. In some
cases (if you use a cable modem, for example) you might unintentionally affect the
network settings of other ISP customers, and your ISP might terminate your service to
prevent you from disrupting its network.
3. If you want to share your Internet connection with computers using AirPort, click
AirPort Options to give your network a name and password.

How can I divide a video into separate clips?

I need to take video that I have been given and divide it into ten second intervals in order to collect data from each clip (for behavioral analysis and research). I know nothing about using video editing software but if I can learn how to do it right I will have a new job, so I really am motivated to learn!
Thanks in advance,
Sandi

Maybe you dont have to :divide" it. (eg cut it up into ten second clips.)
Maybe a running clock super imposed onthe footage will be a better way for your goal.
We can tell you how to do either...but you do need the basics * edit and application fundamentals) before starting anything.
Dont be daunted at the start. Its easier than it looks

How can I turn this output into a variable

I have a script to query all the servers in AD
Import-Module active*
$rtn = $null
Get-ADComputer -Filter {operatingsystem -like "*server*"} |
ForEach-Object {
$rtn = Test-Connection -CN $_.dnshostname -Count 1 -BufferSize 16 -Quiet
IF($rtn -match 'True') {write-host -ForegroundColor green $_.dnshostname}
I want to make the output a variable
Easy way would be:
$Servers = Get-ADComputer -Filter {operatingsystem -like "*server*"}
Problem is this would waist time waiting for queries against disabled/powered off machines to error out
I don't know how to use if statements in variables

Hi,
You can do something like this:
$aliveServers = @()
Get-ADComputer -Filter "OperatingSystem -like '*Server*'" | ForEach {
If (Test-Connection -ComputerName $_.Name -Count 1 -Quiet) {
$aliveServers += $_
$aliveServers | Sort Name

How can I turn dropped text into .txt instead of .textClipping files?

I like the idea of being able to select text, drag it and drop it, and have the finder save it as a file. But I don't like the .textClipping files that it creates by default. Is there a preference or a .plist flag I can set somewhere to tell it to just use good old plain text instead?

Nope. That's the way it is. However, you can select the clipping, open it, select all, and paste it into a TextEdit or other text editing program.
