How do I cut a quicktime video clip

Where there is usually a "Trim" option, the option is shadowed and not allowing me to click on it. I am trying to shorten this 3 hour clip so that I can bring it into iMovie and edit it.
Thank you!

hmmm. i'm not sure precisely what you've read ... but this document (even though it's designed to help troubleshoot video problems), actually ends up being a fairly good hands-on tutorial on converting and syncing QT files:

How do I get a quicktime video clips to go into my itunes?

Hi I have the latest version of itunes and quicktime ( Version 7.1.3) but I can't get itunes to play my quicktime video clips. I've tried dragging and importing them in but nothing happens. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi thanks for the help. But I was hoping that I wouldn't have to download or have to convert video files. I have a quicktime video in my itunes now but it was a while back when I added that I can't remember how too. Is there a easy way to do it or will I need to convert the Avi.files to something else? Thanks again for the help!

How can I record a QuickTime video clip of in-game action?

I've seen video reviews of games from time to time that show actual video clips of a game being played. The ability to record video clips of a game would come in very handy for me, because I'm experiencing a bug in the graphics of Call of Duty 2 that I would like to record and send as a file to Aspyr. However, I'm not sure how to record a movie of the game. (A screenshot is not sufficient.)
Can anyone give me an idea of what software to use to do this? Or do I just have to film my computer screen using my digital camcorder?
Thanks!

Like Mr. Napoli wrote, Snapz Pro X is probably your best bet.
It's made by Ambrosia Software, and at only $69.00 -- for it's quality -- Snapz Pro X isn't very expensive. I haven't purchased it yet, but I've used the demo. It's easy to use, with a lot of customization available. You can download a free demo from the right side of the main Snapz Pro X page here [ http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/ ] or purchase it from a link on the same page.
I would suggest downloading the free demo and trying it out, then deciding if you'd like to purchase. Any video recorded in the demo has a blue watermark "Unregistered Version Of Snapz Pro", but I believe that the demo is fully functional.

Quicktime video clips won't sync with ipod

Hi I've been trying to get some of the quicktime video clips I have to sync with my ipod but it says it can't because it can't play the clips on ipod. I've done it before but that was so long ago I have forgotten how to do it. So can anyone help me out here? Thanks in advance!

Try right clicking on the videos in iTunes and selecting "convert selection for iPod".

How do you put a homemade video clip on iPod using Windows?

I'm so annoyed. I spent my only phone support call to Apple trying to figure out how to get a home made video clip onto my Video iPod and they have no idea unless you are a Mac user. I have successfully put DVDs on the iPod using DVD Decrypter and Nero Recode but if you want to export a small clip, from Adobe Preimere for example, it seems impossible. Can anyone help???? I have exported a clip from Premiere and it says it's a Quicktime file but when I open the file in Quicktime Pro and "export to iPod" it will be rejected after dragging it to the iPod Library. There are programs to help you complete this task if you are a Mac user but I can't find any solution for PC. Any suggestions? I just want to be able to take a segment of video I made on a minidv camcorder and put it on the iPod. I know how to capture and edit it using Premiere but how do I save/export the clip in a file format that Quicktime and/or the iPod will recognize?

Hope you got things working - if not try these tips and tutorials:

How do i fade out a video clip?

how do i fade out a video clip?

ChiDonDada
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
In the absence of that information, I will generalize, tending toward Premiere Elements 11....
a. Right click the Expert workspace Timeline video, select Fade from the pop up menu and then the wanted Fade Audio or Video command.
b. In version 11, you could click on Applied Effects/Applied Effects Palette/Opacity Panel and the shortcut Fades there.
c. You could keyframe the Opacity property in the Applied Effects Palette/Opacity or via the video track content rubberband at the Timeline Level.
Please supply more information for fading in out your video and audio track contents.
Thanks.

In the iMovie 11 event library, how can I get the iPhoto video clips to combine with my camcorder pics listed below and in chronological order?

Try forcing iPhoto to load the Library on the External Hard drive by launching it while holding down the Option key. Choose the Library on the External HD, and quit iPhoto, see if iMovie can see the Library with the iPhoto Videos contained inside.

How Adobe Premier Pro's linked video clips are ID in Bridge?

I just finished a FEATURE-FILM in HD comprised of 40 + different Adobe Premier Projects;
Obviously, at the end you end up with many video clips associated to manyAdobe Premier Projects (i.e.; one video clip could be being used by 17 Adobe Premier Projects), and some video clips are associated to none.
So this is the thing: I need to delete 5,000 + useless-not associated video clips, however, to make sure that I am not breaking any link, I need to know that they are, or they are not associated with any of my Adobe Premier Projects.
How does Bridge indicate that a video clip is or is not associated (linked) to an Adobe Premier Project?
Thank you in advance for your help

Have you tried posting on the Premier Pro forum?
A hint for future posts. If you do not get a response in a reasonalble time rather than reposting, just reply to it yourself with anything and it will be moved to the top of the list again.

I just recently upgraded to iMovie 10.0.1. Now whenever I import video longer than 30 minutes, it automatically splits it at 30 minutes. How can I get my entire video clip at once without a break again?

Quicktime video clips look red

When I import Quicktime video clips into iMovie (for Mac - latest version) they come in looking bright red. Why is this? Can anyone help me. -Thanks

Not sure what you are asking?
To make as still frame from video?
Or to strobe the video (play at less fps)?
Both I believe can't be done in iMovie iOS

How can i rewind Or forward video clip in Nokia 62...

How can i rewind Or forward video clip in Nokia 6230i. plz help me out. thanx in advance.
Haris

Hello.
Fast forwarding and rewinding video on the 6230i is not possible as far as I remember with experience with several Series 40 phones. The proprietary Nokia OS runs a multimedia player incapable of doing this feature. I also have never heard of a certain compatible Java-based media player application which can do this. Maybe the architecture of Series 40 does not support advanced software features allowing this. However if you really want to watch using your phone, you cannot be able to fast forward or rewind.
Cheers.
PS:I am not really sure about this though; just a quick opinion. How about some ideas from other 6230i users?
The world might be a better place if you were I.

Burning a shuffled playlist of Quicktime video clips

I have a folder with 308 Quicktime video clips in it.
I wondered if there was an easy way to burn to DVDs a shuffled playlist of video clips.
I have Toast but that only caters for shuffling photos or music.
I don't have the space to load them all into itunes.
Is there a way of shuffling the files names with the finder to then add to Toast or something like that?
Thanks,
Mike

How to enable cookies to watch video clips??

I was sent a link to a website to watch video clips (educational training).
On the registration page it tells me I will need to "enable cookies" in order
to watch the video clips-please adjust your browser settings. It tells me what I have to do but not how.
I've gone to quicktime preferences and everything seems like it's on the correct settings.
Any clues?
Thanks
Kosmc4

There is some confusion here.
Firstly you cannot run Safari 4.0.4 with the operating system you show, 10.4.10, you need to update to 10.4.11 AND install the latest Security updates.
Secondly, when you open Safari Preferences you get the following icons:
General, Appearance, Bookmarks, Tabs, RSS, Autofill, Security, Advanced.
In the small Preferences window, top right-hand corner, do you see a small oval 'button'?
Try clicking on that.

How to play mixture of photos + video clips?

Most of my iPhoto events include a mixture of both still photos + video clips (taken on the same digicam).
I'd like to play these back as just such a mixture i.e. part slide-show + interspersed quicktime movie clips (whether in an album, slideshow, event, or something else).
What are some ways I can do this? Simple preferred to hi-featured
Thanks!

how do they handle this?
They use an app like iMovie or PhotoPresenter.
Isn't iMovie primarily a video editing program?
Yes.
a bit too much work for just easily and seamlessly viewing pictures + video clips?
You won't know till you try, will you?

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.
