How do I transition from video to picture?

I have a video and I want the video to fade into the picture. The video is a painting and then the picture is the real image that they painted. How do I fade into the picture to look like they painted the real image?

What happens when you put a cross dissolve between the two?

Hi - also new to the forums - I am trying to do the following:
I have a slideshow with slides of people, then a slide with a video of someone talking about the person, then more slides, etc... I want to have my playlist play then pause (or fade) so that it does not conflict with the audio from the video clip when it (automatic slide show) transitions to the slide with the video - can I do this and if so how?
thanks,

How do you transition from mobile.me to iCloud?

How do you transition from mobile.me to iCloud?

The link posted above is useless as it is completely out of date.
You cannot migrate a MobileMe to iCloud: MobileMe is closed and the contents of all accounts have been deleted.
If you had a MobileMe account you can reactivate the @me.com address by signing into System Preferences>iCloud with it and enabling Mail in the checklist there (Lion 10.7.2 or above required, you cannot do this on older systems) or in Settings>iCloud on an iOS5 device. The address will work but the previous contents of the account will not appear. If you also had an @mac.com version of the address from being a long-standing MobileMe member you cannot reactivate that, only the @me.com address.

How can i transfer my videos and pictures from mini ipad to my laptop

how can i transfer videos and pictures in photos folder of mini ipad to my laptop

Connect your mini to your computer via USB. The mini will be recognized by your laptop as a camera and will offer the option to transfer pictures and videos.

This is how you extract frames from video

right then, in answer to many posts about how to get the individual frames from video, here is my solution. it seems to work with mpg files but it doesnt seem to work with any of the avi files i tried. not sure why it doesnt work with those. i have modified javas frame access.
nothing is displayed except it prints which frame it is doing.
if anyone wants to improve it, please do. i still dont understand fully how it works so i probably wont be able to answer many questions about it. anyway here it is:

The quality of the produced video from this example is very poor.
It comes to huuuuge surprise the following fact.
If you comment the line where you set the PostAccessCodec, the chain of the codecs is:
MPEG-1 decoder -> YUV2RGB -> Direct Draw Renderer. ( The one used from the system to decode and render)
If you run the example purely as is above you get the following sequence(as long with the poor quality):
MPEG-1 decoder -> YUV2RGB -> Windows GDI Renderer.
So you say lets set another Renderer. So
you add the following line videoTracker.setRenderer( new DDRenderer() )
What comes to a surprise is the following chain of codecs:
MPEG-1 decoder -> YUV2RGB -> Post Codec -> Java RGB Converter - > DDRenderer
The quality now may be perfect but video runs to slow. The surprising thing here is that even though we have set the outputFormat of the PostAccessFrame codec to RGBFormat the system converts it again to RGB through codec Java RGB Format.
After searching a lot and reaching the conclusion that the deference between the 2 RGB's is their sizes I sudently was brought in front of a method called grabFrame(). Bels started ringing inside my head. Starts were comming up. Looking at the definition of the class com.sun.media.renderer.video.DDRenderer I descovered that this damn class implements the FrameGrabbingControl Interface. What the f.....? The problem that consumed 4 days of my life and multiplied with 10 to give hours has finally come to an and.
Summing up the solution for grabbing frames is this!!!!!
DDRenderer renderer = new DDRenderer();
videoTrack.setRenderer( renderer );
and in your actionPerformed implementation
FrameGrabbingControl fr = (FrameGrabbingControl)renderer.getControl( "javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl");
Buffer frame = fr.grabFrame();
The following stuff ...are stated in FrameAccess

Thumbnails from Video without picture

Hi
I have a problem on the organizer.
All the thumbnails from video are without any pictures, even when I do refresh the thumbnails.
This does not happen in Premiere Elements where i get a picture in the thumbnails from every video.
Why?
Thank you for helping me

Here is how to get cameras out of the equation.
I created five video files out of Prpro CS3 and PRE7, all using the same source materiall. The output was an H264 and an MPEG2 out of each program, and a WMV out of prpro.
All five files played fine in WMP, so there are codecs on the system. PRE7 and Prpro did not complain about missing codecs.
Then I loaded them all into my PSE7 organizer to see what I got for thumbnails and playability.
Result: only saw thumbnails for the wmv file; nothing for H264 and nothing for MPEG2. WMV played fine, and the others played but with really crappy quality.
Also tried the same thing with PSE8 trial and got the same result.
Previous feedback from Adobe has suggested that this problem is due to missing codecs, but no information was provided as to which codecs would solve the problem. WMP, PRE7 and Prpro are all happy with the codecs they have, why isn't PSE? By the way, windows explorer also shows all the thumbnails for all the files. If only PSE could reproduce what windows already does!!
I repeated the experiment with several variations of H264 and MPEG2 and got the same results. Files directly from my cameras produce more or less the same result: those that put out MPEG or H264 (camcorders) show no thumbnails and those that put out MOV or AVI (still cameras with movie function) do show thumbnails.
That sounds like a lot of effort to prove a point, but an organizer that does not show thumbnails is useless as an organizer. Why would I want the scene analyzer in PSE8 when I can't see the additional thumbnails for the scenes??
This was all done on Win 7 x64.

How do I transfer my videos and pictures from my dslr camera to my macbook

Hello.
I am new to the Apple world and recently purchased a MacBook Pro. I have a Cannon DSLR camer and I am having problems transferring the pictures and videos. Do I need to get a program to transfer these items?
Also how do I get them to save to an external harddrvie and not in iphoto?
thank you
Faye

You can use Image Capture to save them exactly where you want them, or iPhoto if you use that. Canon also has its own pretty good image transfer and viewing software, and even pretty good video editing. Mine came on a CD with the camera (4 years ago) but you can likely download it from Canon's site (you will need your camera's serial number).

HT4906 how can I export from macbookpro my pictures to my iPhone?

my girlfriend is always laughing at me, she is having a sony notebook and can work easyly with bluetooth,manage pictures fast, while I am standing here and a kind of helpless ( she is kidding, that this MAC is just a name and expensive ,)
I told her MAC has certainly similar services but I am richt now not in a position yet to pocess that know how.
If someone can give a hand thnx in advance
pictures moving from macbook to Iphone or Ipad.
I tried hard than came an answer Mobileme, than I rialized that service is gone ?
how should I proceed ?
all the best to all

You'll need to use iTunes as Peter suggested. Connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer, open iTunes, click on the iPhone/iPad name in the left hand pane and go to the Photos section. There you can select individual events or albums to sync or multiple events or albums.

Curious how you all organize your videos/music/pictures

I am curious to know: How do you all organize/keep/archive (1) the videos you have created, (2) your music in iTunes, (3) your photos in iPhoto?
Do you keep each individual video on a separate CD or DVD? Or all in one ex. hard drive? Or?
~L

I keep my iTunes Library on my iMac's drive, with a backup copied to another external drive.
My iPhoto Libraries (I have 12 right now) are on an external drive, with backup on another external drive, not the same one that backs up my iTunes.
For my iPhoto Libraries, I number manually all the photos in each 'Family Photos' album for each year, aftr I have finished putting them in chronologic order. I do this myself because I want the photos to sort the way I placed them. I burn those photos to DVDs from Finder so I can save those discs as backups of all my photos. If my drives fail, or if my family ever needs to print some of these photos, I have the photos in the order they would be in if they were printed and put into an album chronologically. There are other photos in my iPhoto Libraries that are either similar, not great shots or some that I don't necessarily want in my Family albums. I do not need to save them for posterity and if they were lost or forgotten it would not matter to my kids and grandkids.
I am not yet using iMovie 9 a lot so I don't have more than a couple of small movies there.
I use iMovie 6 and have my in-progress movies on the external drive that has my iPhoto Libraries. I have copies of all those movies on another external drive and I try to update that whenever I do any extensive editing of my iMovies.
After I have finished editing an iMovie, I export it back to miniDV tapes using my camcorder. Apparently exporting back to camcorder is not a feature of iMovie 8 or 9.
I then put my iMovie(s) into iDVD projects, burn 5 DVD disks from each project (one for us, one for each kid, one extra and one for secure saving) and save each project as a disc image file. After checking that the DVD has burned correctly and that the iMovie does not need to be further edited, and after the edited iMovie has been exported back to tape, I then delete the iDVD project and the iMovie used in that project.
I put one DVD copy of each iDVD project in our safe-deposit box.
I keep all the disk image files on two separate external drives. I even went back to the DVD discs that I had made before iDVD had the option to create disk image files and created disk image files from the discs. I can now reburn any of my projects whenever I need another copy. Even though I have several copies of each project, DVD discs can crack, melt, scratch and break, so I wanted to be sure I could always have another copy.
I am somewhat concerned that newer technology will produce some sort of image/video-storage device and all my DVDs will need to be converted to that format, but I figure that will be the job of my children and/or grandchildren. At least I will have all our old photos and videos preserved in a digital format.
I am almost finished with my project of putting all our photos/videos on DVDs for the years 1890-2010. I have completed 1974-2009 except for the last two months of 2009. I am working on the 'early years' and when finished with that, I will be up to date. At that point, hopefully in the next two or three months, I am going to learn iMovie 9 and FCE and purchase a new HD camcorder and a better still camera, so maybe my organization plan will change a bit for movie clips.

Transition from video to video on command

Hey, some have answered this question partially already. I'm doing a dinner and presentation so I need to have a video loop during the dinner, then dissolve to different videos as the awards go on. There will be a video, then a background video as the presenter announces the awardees, then another video, then another background video for the next presenter, etc. Since they can take as long as they want to speak, I can't have a preset time for the videos to transition. So far keynote freezes the frame of the video when I advance the slide and dissolves to a freeze of the first frame of the next video slide, but I need to have the video keep playing so the dissolve is seemless. Otherwise I'll have to rent a mixer and hook up several DVD players in order to get the same effect. Is there a way in keynote to do this or is there another program that can do the same thing? Thanks for any help.

You could try Pro Presenter (it can do what you want, even though it's made for displaying both video and lyrics for churches). http://www.renewedvision.com
They also make an incredible app called Pro Video Player. It's expensive, but it's made to replace units like the big Edirol video players. It definately can do whata you want, but as I said, it's expensive.

How to keep transitions from throwing off beat markers?

I love using View/Snap to Beats when adding a series of photos to a soundtrack! Right now I am using iMovie 9.0.9 vs iMovie 11 since i believe beat markers have been eliminated. Anyway, perhaps in a version a little earlier than 9.0.9, the markers landed near the middle of 2.0s transitions, so that the photos in synch with the music. But now, the markers start at the very beginning of transitions, so that all the photos are noticeably behind the music! What a bummer. . . . until i figure this out! hopefully with your help. This is the first time I have ever entered anything to Support discussions. Thanks, Ko

Hello Ko
In iMovie ’11 there are beat markers. Check out the articles below to go through the steps for adding beat markers.

How to upload photos from iPhone to "Pictures Folder" in "Finder" without using iPhoto at all?

I personally hate iPhoto and would like my photos to upload directly into a "selected" folder under "Pictures" in "Finder" from my iPhone or camera card. Then I would like to delete iPhoto from my computer. Any answers?

Really simple. Just don't use it.
To get images from your phone/camera/whatever: Image Capture (in the Applications Folder)
If you have images in the iPhoto Library already: Export them - File -> Export.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
That said, taking 15 minutes to understand iPhoto will offer you far more options for storing, searching, finding and sharing your photos than folders in the Finder ever will.

How can I transition from Individual Plans to Business Plan?

My company has two Creative Cloud Individual Plans, and we need another. But we should really transition into a 3-person Business Plan instead. How do I talk to someone about doing this?

How to extract sound from video

Is there a way to extract the sound track from a video file (avi, etc) using java ?
I've searched everywhere for this and it seems that it can't be done with java, only with c# and others.... This would be annoying, since i really like java and wouldn't want to write C# code...
The only 'solution' I've found is running an external application (with Runtime.exec())...
If I'm wrong please point me in the right direction.
Thanks

"Use the right tool for the job." If you know it can be done easily with C#, go with it. It's widely accepted that Java is not very good for multimedia applications.
But if you really have to do it in Java, perhaps JMF can help.
