How do I rotate an .mts (AVCHD Lite) video clip 90 degrees?

How do I rotate an .mts (AVCHD Lite) video clip 90 degrees? It's a video taken in the portrait orientation with a digital camera. I can open the .mts video clip in VLC player for Mac, but I don't see any editing options relevant to this.

If it will play with QuickTime Player, then you can rotate it with QuickTime Pro.
<http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/>
It provides a key to enable extra functions in QuickTime Player 7 (Utilities folder).
Click "Show Movie Properties" in the "Window" menu, select the video track, then the "Visual Settings" tab. Select the desired rotation, then "Save As" from the "File" menu.

How do I put several iphone 4 home video clips together on Quicktime so that I can watch them together on the one DVD.

How do I put several iphone 4 home video clips together on Quicktime so that I can watch them together on the one DVD as a movie. And what export setting do I use to play on a DVD player?

QuickTime Player is not itself able to do this. You need a proper DVD authoring solution such as Apple's iDVD.

How do I add a title to a video clip w/ LiveType 2 and Final Cut Express 4

I have Final Cut Express 4 & LiveType 2.1.4, I'm not sure how to add titles or test to a video clip, and the tutorials for Final Cut Express 4 don't say how to get started in LiveType. How do I simply add text? The tutorials say how to add effects to the text they just don't say how to add it to the clip or how to get the clip into LiveType.

Well, you don't actually _add text_ to a video clip, you _create a text clip_ and add that clip to your timeline, either adjacent to an existing clip or on the next higher track if you want to layer the text with an existing video clip.
The very simplest way to add text is to use one of the *text generators* built into FCE. Lower Third, Text, Scrolling Text, etc. allow you to create various text clips and give you basic controls over fonts, positioning, size, color, etc. You can find the text generators in the Effects tab in the FCE Browser.
LiveType is a separate and more sophisticated application that enables you to do all sorts of things with text (much more than can be done with the FCE text generators). The basic process is - create your title in a LiveType project. Save the LiveType project. Then in FCE, import the LiveType project; from there, you can treat it just the same as any other clip.

How do I play my MTS (AVCHD) files on my TV?

I have read alot bout media players like Roku and WDTVbut it appears that almost every piece of hardware out there does not support .MTS (AVCHD) files. Which is insane to think Canon sells HD camcorders that saves in a format that isn't supported anywhere...Maybe they should make their own Smart TV or media player...of course that's beside the point.
Anyway, from my cursory research, it seems there are only a few options:
1---Convert my .MTS files to some file that's readable on a media player or Smart TV
2---Connect my laptop to my TV with VGA cable or WiDi
3---Use the PLEX channel on Roku
So far PLEX seems like the easiest solution, but I wanted to get the forum's opinion. My main concern is that converting/transcoding video into new formats will lose HD quality. Similarly, I'm concerned that streaming my videos on TV through WiDi does not provide the same HD experience. With that being said, would PLEX be any better that those other options?
More concise: How do I play my home movies on my TV retaining the highest HD quality?

Well ,first you should know , if you compress your video, no matter what format you convert to , it will defenitely has the quality loss, even you will not notice by your eyes. But you can improve it manually. During your conversion , (whatever converter app you use), it may have the option to let you imporve the Bitrate and Frame rate. That two will help you improve the quality. But try to keep the balance between those two or you will get some blurred video.

Necessary Components to Transfer AVCHD Lite Video to Blu-Ray Discs

I have AVCHD Lite HD video footage from a Panasonic Lumix DMZ-FZ35 that I wish to transfer to disc in its full reproduction so that I do not have to continue storing it on SDHC memory cards. Is it true that with an 2009 iMac I can achieve this task by utilizing Roxio Toast 10 Titanium along with an external Blu-ray burner or do I need other hardware or software?
Also, I understand that the this video content could be saved on DVD-Rs, but would take up multiple discs vs. a single Blu-Ray disc.
Any websites or forum information available on this concern would be appreciated.

Picking up on my original post about H264 - as I have a dual boot machine I also have a clean installed Win 7 /64bit partition which I use for general bits of work.
On that I have CyberPowerDVD SW installed which plays all Video files fine including BluRay material etc.
Interestingly when I try to play the file that AME has created from the BluRay H264 preset it says 'It cannot play the file as it is a format it does not recognise...'
This is really weird and would suggest AME is not encoding the file corrrectly??
I have already removed and made a re-install of CS4 on my main [video editing] partition but there were some fragments of CS4 left intact
How do I completely remove everything?
I tried the CS4 clean script but it said it relied on Microsoft CLean Up utility and gave a link
When I loooked on Microsoft web site the link to download it had been removed?
Also Adobe say the CS4 remove script is no longer supported ?
Can anyone advise on the correct tool/procedure to completely remove CS4 from a Win 7/64bit installation so I can then try re-install of CS4 one more time....in case the installation is corrupt in some way
I can't explain why I am having this problem otherwise if other people find AME encodes OK with H264 BluRay preset.

Transferring avchd lite video on to imac

Hi guys,
i am a fairly new mac user and am struggling with trying to transfer video files from my panasonic lumix zs3 (tz7) onto my mac. I have tried installing software that came with the camera but my mac does not like it and i cant seem to find any updates (software is mediaimpressions). Any assistance you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

It would help if you would enter some info into your profile, such as which model Mac, the OS you are on, etc. Not having any info, I can only offer some general suggestions.
I checked the Arcsoft site and it shows that the software is Mac compatible (including Snow Leopard); however, you really don't need it. There are several ways you can try to get your video clips onto your Mac:
1. Try importing the footage directly into iMovie; check the "how to export" (or similar) section of your camera's manual and iMovie's help if you have a problem; or
2. if your camera doesn't have a USB connection, get a USB card reader; insert your camera card, plug it into a USB port and simply drag your footage onto your hard drive. Since your video footage appears to be Quicktime motion JPEG (according to the tech specs of the zs3), it shouldn't be a problem to play them. If it doesn't, you can get MPEG Streamclip (free) which will convert your footage to another format.

How do I extend the end of a video clip?

Hi,
I have placed my video clip in my composition and at the end of it, I want to extend the last frame of that video all the way to the end. Just freeze the last frame. How do I do this?
I searched this forum using search terms like "extend" and "freeze video" but found no results.
Thanks,
JayGatz

By dragging the last keyframe, you are stretching the length of the entire clip (slowing it all down), which you probably don't want.
To just hold the last frame of a clip:
1) select clip
2) enable time remap (ctrl-alt-t)
3) goto outpoint (o)
4) set time remap keyframe
5) delete end keyframe (the one to the right)
6) drag layer endpoint to desired spot (you can also goto time where you want clip to end and hit alt ])
The reason you need to create a keyframe at the last frame is Time Remap places a keyframe after the last frame, on a blank frame. If you were to leave it like that, extend out the layer length, it'd be blank. By placing a keyframe on the last full frame, it holds that frame.
Hope it makes sense.
PS Not sure if you were aware, but you can use whatever keyframes you want with time remap. easy ease, hold, etc.

How do you import/where do you put video clips?

With my Windows Vista PC, video clips taken by my iPhone or digital camera were imported by Windows Photo Gallery and stored in the same directories as the photos. These videos could then be synced via iTunes in the Photo tab, when you selected a photo directory that contained video files and clicked on the "Include videos" box.
Now on my new iMac, I see the same "include videos" box under the Photo tab for any given iOS device in iTunes. But, iPhoto did not import even my iPhone-created videoes when I migrated my photo library.
So my question (i'm a mac newbie in case it was not clear): How do I need to setup the video import process so that camera and iPhone videos are stored in the places they need to be, so that they can be synced in iTunes during photo sync? Does iPhoto need to be configured in some way to import the video, or am I supposed to use iMovie to import video clips into a library which can be used by iTunes for syncing during the photo sync process? Or is there some other program I have to configure? When I connect cameras with video clips, my iMac is not bringing up any program by default to import the video - is there some sort of configuration option I am supposed to select?
Second question: I have a lot of video clips in avi format created by older digital camers. What format do I need to convert them to in order to get them into a format which can be imported into a library and synced to my iOS devices? Previously on my PC, I converted the AVI files to MP4 format, and it worked just fine. However, again iPhoto did not recognize these files (maybe if I get question #1 answered this will no longer be an issue).
Thanks,
JB

I guess the reason I like the iPhoto approach is that it arranges my photos chronologically/as events, which makes it easier for me to view. I also like that I can sync my videos by event. This workflow works for me because I have a tendency to make a lot of video and only get around to editing later, but often still like to look at the raw video from time to time. Meanwhile, I note that viewing clips in iMovie is far less convenient - clearly this is for editing only rather than viewing. So if I understood it correctly, to do it this way, I should convert video clips in iMovie to, I guess, the *.mov format and move those into iPhoto, yes?
I just took a video with my iPhone and confirmed that iPhoto did import it. However, I still can't figure out why iPhoto did not see the existing iPhone mov files in my PC photo library from the USB hard drive when it imported all other photos from the same. I then dragged and dropped some of those mov files manually into iPhoto, and this worked... but not well. Those videos got arranged as a separate event, and then I had to go and put them back into the correct event.
I have hundreds of photo subdirectories from the PC library, and I don't remember which ones have iPhone video files. Is there a way to search the entire photo directory for *.mov files and drag them from there into iPhoto? If I could then see the file name or time/date stamp of the individual mov files, I could then sort the mov files manually into the correct events.
What if I were to make iPhoto reimport from this photo directory, with the hopes that it would automatically pick up the mov files? Would I get duplicates of existing imports by this method?
Finally - am I correct in assuming that I only have to convert my existing avi video clips to mov format in order for iPhoto to be able to handle them?

Best if you can say what kind of movies you are adding .... for example if they are YouTube Videos then use the Insert HTML option and embed the code.

Rotating only part of a video clip

Hi,
I changed the position of my camera while filming a video clip. Can I now rotate only part of that clip in iMovie, so that all the frames are the same?
Thank you.

You can do this using TransformMovie, available here:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21859
Also, MPEG Streamclip can rotate video while maintaining the aspect ratio as well as the interlacing when converting to DV, which is what iMovie prefers as an input:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
There is also a plug-in for iMovie from GeeThree called rotate/scale that might do the job:
http://geethree.com/slick/index.html
You will have to export the clip in question first, then re-import after correction.

How to remove audio noise in section of video clip

I have a section of video which contains some time on
a ski boat and then footage of a skier. The section of ski footage is noisy with boat engine noise.
How can I reduce just that section of noise. I don't wish to eliminate it just lower the volume.

Unfortunately, you have posted to the Tips & Tricks sub-forum, which is basically a repository for articles on how to do things. Maybe our over-worked MOD, Steve Grisetti can move this question out to the main PrE forum, so that many more users will see it, and can give you suggestions.
Now, let's look at your Audio footage, and what you want to do.
The section of ski footage is noisy with boat engine noise. How can I reduce just that section of noise. I don't wish to eliminate it just lower the volume.
Success depends on exactly what you have in the way of audio signals, and exactly what you want to do with it.
If there are other signals in the Clip, that you wish to keep, and only wish to lower the Levels of the noise floor (the boat's engine), you might have success, but that depends on two things: the frequencies of the sound that you wish to retain at original Levels, and the frequencies of the boat's engine. I believe that PrE has some limited EQ (Equalizer) Effects. I normally use an audio-editing program, with a full compliment of EQ's.
I'd start with a Graphic EQ Effect, and then spend a lot of time adjusting the sliders for each frequency band and doing careful listening. It is likely that you can attenuate (lower) the Levels for some of the frequency bands, that ONLY contain the signal from the engine. You will loose those same frequencies in the ambient sounds, but there is no way to separate those out, and address them individually. Depending on the number of frequency bands that your EQ offers, this might be able to isolate many of the changes to the offending frequencies. Do not know how many frequency bands the Graphic EQ in PrE will offer, as I have never explored any.
In Audition, one can also sample a part of the file, with just engine noise, and then work to eliminate most of that from the whole Clip. Note, one still has a balancing act, of lowering the Levels across the frequency bands. I would go lightly here, and then work with the Graphic EQ to clean things up a bit more. Last, I'd look at both the High-pass and Low-pass filters, plus a Notch Filter.
Since I noticed that you had also posted to the article on noise reduction, I know that you have read it. However, when your post gets moved out to the main forum, and others drop by, I will link to that ARTICLE here.
Now, and so that others can perhaps give you specific ideas, can you tell us what part of the audio spectrum you wish to keep at the original Levels? Also, if you have a short piece of the Audio, can you attach it as a PCM/WAV? Hint: use the little Attach Files (paperclip) at the lower-left of the forum editing screen. Let us know exactly what you'd like to try to keep. We'd be happy to process that small section and see if we can make improvements to it, and then post the steps that we took to arrive at our edited piece.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I make a photo from a video clip? I am a new Apple user and am using iMovie 11.

I have uploaded a video from my digital camera to iMovie. I want to create a photo from selected frames in the video. Not sure how to proceed. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

You can do this with a free App called MPEG Streamclip. For details see this link. Let me know if you get stuck installing MPEG Streamclip.

How do i create linked pages with multiple video clips on each of them?

I took a bunch of small videos with my digital camera, and now want to make a dvd that has a main menu with 7 choices, and then each one of those will take you to pages with each clip as a motion button (6 to a page). So if i click on "Dublin" on the main menu, it takes me to Dublin #1 which has clips 1 - 6, i can then click on an arrow to go to a second page with clips 7 - 12, etc. I can return to the main menu and click on "Belfast" which takes me to the first page of 6 clips, then a second page with 6 more, etc.
The problem I am having is linking two or more Chapter pages together. Thanks for your help.
Eric

Welcome to the forums, Eric.
iDVD has a few limitations, but you can do much of what you want.
Limitations: Only 6 selections per menu page. And the Forward/Backward selection buttons advance only one menu at a time.
Basic solution: Use the folder button to create a link to a submenu; move to that submenu and drag your movies onto that menu page. Repeat for more submenus.
Alternative approach: Use iMovie to join all the Dublin videos, with chapter markers to designate each segment. Import the movie with chapter markers into iDVD and they automatically create the Dublin submenus. And you can watch all the Dublin videos in a row, or use the menus to navigate to the desired video. After you watch the last segment, you'll automatically return to the main menu.
