How do I create video files in M4V format just like iTunes video clips?

Hello everyone,
I have bought many video clips from iTunes which I like to play when I have invited guests.
Now, as you know, some video clips are not available on iTunes. I do have some music DVDs though and would like to add some video clips from the DVDs to my iTunes library. I converted them to the M4V format. However, the format still seems to be different from the format that iTunes uses for its music video clips. Because when I add a video bought from the iTunes store AND one of my own videos in a playlist, iTunes tells me that it is not usual to mix videos and music in the same playlist.
Does anyone have a suggestion how I can create the same format for the videos I get from my DVDs, so that I can mix them in the same playlist together?
Thanks for your help!

Umm... has anyone pondered a situation for a days if not weeks on end before mustering up the courage to ask for help and then found the solution minutes after asking? Yeah, this is one of those occasions. Weird.
In my defense, the user interface seems a bit obtuse. When you click "Playlists" and then "Create Playlist" at the bottom of the screen you then must click "Dates, "Folders", or "All Videos" to search for videos. The "obtusity" is that it didn't seem intuitive to me that I then had to search in those other headings after I selected to create a playlist. I assumed that the "Create a Playlist" window that then popped up would include all videos in the watched folders. When you see a video you will find that there is a green circle with a plus sign on the upper right corner. Clicking that will add it to the playlist that you are creating. When you're satisfied with the playlist, give it a name and then save it.
*sigh*

  • HT4075 I don't have any problems merging the documents by dragging, but when I try to save and open afterwards, only the last shown doc was saved, not the combined files I wanted to merge. I tried save and export, how can I create the file after merging?

    Hi, I'm having trouble saving the documents when merging in Preview. I don't have any problems merging the pdf documents by dragging them in preview, but when I try to save and open afterwards, only the last shown doc was saved, not the combined files I wanted to merge. I've tried save and export, but none merge the documents after saving... how can I create the file (with all the pdf files) after merging?

    That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.

  • How can I create a file brows menu and save option?

    How can I create a file brows menu, if I wont my user to choose a picture from his PC.
    And how can I save my user settings?(this is application going to be only on my users pc)

    You can launch a file selection dialog with FileReference. You can save settings using a SharedObject (like a cookie).

    If this is a Flex app, you will only be able to select a file from the local machine and upload to server, you won't be able to open the file in the Flex app, due to security sandbox.
    If this is an AIR app you will not have this restriction.

  • How do i see video clips already imported in to an event?

    How do i see video clips already imported in to an event?
    I have already created and shared one movie project from the clips and from photos but now want to make another. However, when i go to the library it only shows me the content of the first project, including the photos, not all of the video clips i originally imported. I can't believe that I need to import them all again.

    It seems to me that you must have imported your clips using iMovie 9, (that's why they are all in the Events folder which belongs to iMovie 9).  Then you must have upgraded your current project to iMovie 10 which will have put the clips used in that project (but not all the others) into your iMovie 10 library.  iMovie 10 has a totally different storage arrangement for media.  You should be able to update your other iMovie 9 projects by choosing File > Update Projects  and Events in iMovie 10.  See: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0.8/#/mov902ad0c31
    This does not stop you from continuing to use the projects in iMovie 9 though any further editing you do will not be transferred to the other version of iMovie.

  • How do I get video clips into Organizer from Elements?

    I have broken my raw video into pieces in elements but can't get it to import into organizer.
    I am using Elements 11 Trial.

    The video is actually a football highlight film for our son and came to us as a single mp4 file with about 60 plays of video on it.
    What I am trying to do is
    1) Cut it down into 60 individual videos (which I did and currently have in my project).
    2) Save the pieces off as individual video clips.
    3) Get the ability to rank/rate each video and select the 25 or so that will make up the final video.
    4) Polish/edit those that make the grade.
    5) Organize and assemble.
    Does this make sense?

I am using Elements 11 Trial.Place the "Work Area Bars" (located on the time line) so that only a "piece" is covered.  Then "Share" to a computer file. Pick a file type that suits your needs.  Be sure to check the box titled "Share WorkArea Bar Only".  Unfortunately, the clip piece will be re-encoded.  PrE11 will do that well, but not perfect because any encoding always seems to loose a little. You did not say what camera you are using.  The software that came with my Sony and Panasonic camcorders is much better for splitting clips into smaller clips.  Some sort of magic is in them where re-encoding does not take place.  The pieces have the same picture quality as the original.   So, when I do what you want, I break it into pieces with the camcorder software, the put the video together in PrE with all the creative tools it offers.  Bill

  • Can anyone tell me how to make a video clip in color transition?

    Can anyone tell me how to make a video clip in color transition like the opening of "Oh Brother where art though" ?
    You know the scene at the start where it starts off Black and White then as we move down the timeline it transitions to a rusty brown gradually.
    It's on the Apple site for FC Studio as a promo clip.

    how to do a keyframe trasition in the Color FX room
    I realize that you can "add" keyframes to the timeline in COLORFX, but I don't believe they are always observed, and then they usually disappear in retrieved projects, and aren't persistent if you leave the room. To remember where they are... you might mark in a keyframe on those frames in another room as a pathfinder. The behaviour is consistent with a creature of the six-legged variety.
    Method 1. If you are trying to taper the effect (any effect) in COLOR FX, the most linear approach is to render two versions of the clip; one "with", one "without" and do an opacity fade once you have returned them to Final Cut. This gives you the most control, flexibility, repeatability and consistency.
    Method 2. You may attempt to keyframe the bleach bypass settings within the node itself -- the preset that comes with COLOR doesn't have any controls, but the Nattress plugin does.
    Method 3. Set up a "blend" node with your bleach bypass feeding one of the inputs and leave the second input to default to the untreated video... keyframe a transition from "1.00000" to "0.00000" and that should work.
    Note: the keyframe timeline markers will disappear from the timeline if you exit the clip, but the effect is likely to persist. At least that was what was happening a couple of minutes ago... for me, the effect and blend performed the transition just like it was previewing when rendered. This strategy is subject to being created and rendered "on the spot right now", and I advise making sure you have your renderqueue settings ready to go... load the clip from the COLORFX room using the Mac command bar at the top of the screen and render it right away. Don't try to save it for later. Just Do It.
    An announcement went around about two weeks ago that Mr. Deakins' website was back up and running, so give him another try... poor guy has been swamped probably doing Dreamweaver maintenance... yeah, that must be it...

  • How can I capture video clips from you tube or my own DVD's

    How can I capture video clips from my own DVD's or You Tube type of media, I am trying to create a presentation using Key Note 

    As long as you are using the clips with copyright permission (the organisation I work for has this for some distributers) try Wondershare (I am sure other converters are available). You can install an extension for Safari (I use FastestTube 2.2.9.3) to download from YouTube. However, please be aware that you could be breaking copyright laws when so doing.

  • How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?

    How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?
    The music I want to move was in iTunes but is now just files. I had to reinstall a new iTunes and lost all my old music.
    Thank you!

    That article is about using your iPod as an external hard drive, to move files from one computer to another computer.  It is not related to your question.
    You can't use iTunes to move song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can move song files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your current computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library by dragging the files (or folder containing the files) to the iTunes window.  After confirming everything is there (and fixing the data issue you mentioned) you can sync the iPod.  You may want to do a Restore on the iPod, if it might have a data corruption issue, which will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install the latest software, and set it to defautl settings.

    Does anyone know if/how to rotate a video clip in iphoto?  I shot it so that it plays sideways on my computer and I cannot figure out how to rotate it.  Thanks.

    You can't do that in iPhoto. You'll need a video editor like iMovie for the job.
