How do you PRECISELY sync two video tracks?

Here's the background:
I filmed a video, in the dark, doing sequential movements with light-sources while listening to a metronome (to create a pattern of trail-effects)
I then took this video, duplicated it, took the opacity down to 50%, and overlayed it with the original
I then attempted to offset the video by 1/2/3 clicks of the metronome, identifying it by the soundwave.
Here's my dilema:
I can only use the razor tool at certain quantities of time along the timeline, and can only DRAG the clip along certain incriments of time along the time line.
I am finding it impossible to get the metronome 'clicks' lined up seamlessly!
why can I not drag the duplicate clip along to ANY incriment of space/time along the timeline? Is there a way around this?
*I have tried turning of the magnetic timeline
Thanks in advance for any tips

I tried this as well. If you zoom in enough, even when using the 'p' tool, the clip 'jumps' along certain incriments as I try to drag it. I can not place it precisely where I want along a continuous set of coordinates along the timeline.
I am trying to match up two videos via the audio waveform, syncing the metronome 'clicks' that are present in the videos (and also taking them out of phase, with the metronome 'clicks' lining up, but the video itself is not (it's out of phase)) [[think sine and cosine, same waveform, but out of phase]].
I used the metronome to sustain consistency [[wavelength]] and mark the points at which to sync them out of phase [[i.e. crest vs. trough, etc]]
Here's what I'm looking at

I drag the bottom clip over, but it only moves to the placement in which it is in the picture below the first, and CANNOT BE PLACED PRECISELY WHERE I NEED IT TO BE, even while using the 'p' tool

I recently purchased a movie (Prometheus) on my computer through iTunes and every time I try to put it on my iPhone, it fails. How can I successfully sync this video? Mind you, every other file syncs flawlessly.

Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

How to isolate one audio or video track?

How to isolate one audio or video track? My premiere pro cc will only allow me to grab all 8 audio tracks and the video tracks at once when i import it and bring them into the timeline. When I click on one it highlights them all.

It helps to indicate what version of Premiere you have and whether you're on Mac or Windows.
If you're on 7.0.1 or later, then disable the Linked Selection button in the Timeline. It's the button to the right of the magnet (Snap). If you frequently want to toggle between linked and unlinked selection, you can assign a shortcut to the command
Also, you can select any track item by holding ALT while clicking. To select multiple individual track items (e.g., A3, A5, & A7 for a given clip), hold ALT+SHIFT while clicking.
And I believe Sarthak meant "Unlink" rather than "Ungroup." A/V clips are linked by default, so Unlink is generally available. Ungroup will be available only if what's selected is a set of clips that you manually grouped.

How do you copy automation from one track to another?

How do you copy automation from one track to another? Occassionally I mistakenly blow away a track's automation. I open up an earlier version of the song to try to get the automation. It doesn't seem that you can copy and paste the data. After some struggle, I find a way. Is there an easy way?

1. Copy the track containing the desired automation to another track. (create a track below it to keep things organized)
2. Double click on the region and delete the notes.
3. Now copy the region to the desired track.
P.S. Of course when Logic asks if you want to copy the automation data you say yes)

HT4915 How do you stop syncing address and calendar to iCloud? I only want to sync from my computer to iPhone.

How do you stop syncing address and calendar to iCloud? I only want to sync from my computer to iPhone. This is because I cannont upgrade to Lion and I do not want to get duplicate contacts when I sync from the computer 10.6.8 to my iPhone iOS5. You should not upgrade to Lion upless you have 4GB of ram. Lion does not support rosita so all your old programs will not funtion and you have to repurchase all old software the is working fine.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Settings > iCloud, turn off contact and calendar syncing.

How do you set up two different ipads on one computer ?

I purchased a new ipad for my wife and want to get her started but we both use one imac as our desktop system. How do you set up two different uses on one computer.
Thanks,
Dave

Other options not covered in the article:
1) You can plug both in under the same computer username and same iTunes Apple ID and give each device it's own name. You should be able to manage them as separate devices with different media, apps and screen layouts. All of your media would be in a common pool, though.
2) Under one computer username, you can login and logout of two different iTunes Apple IDs. This option is cleaner with two computer usernames but it can be done with one.

How can you get your iPhone videos to compress to one video instead of 5 different frames?

How can you get your iPhone videos to compree to one video instead of different frames

It sounds like you to 5 separate videos. If you start recording, then stop it, then start it again, you will have 2 videos. Not 1. As for splicing them together, you will need a video editing package for your PC. I don't know if Windows Movie Maker (or whatever they're calling it now) can handle this or not. On a Mac, I'd say just use iMovie.

How do you stream a live video to a website

OK - Again I'm feeling smart enough to be real dumb.
How do you stream a live video to a website. I use GoDaddy to host a website. I can plug a video camera into my Mac so I can run the video through whatever program works best. I even have a .mac account (now its mobile me I guess) and could use that. I have read several threads but can't really find a starting point. Any help is appreciated.
I want to video a basketball game and stream it to our schools website.
Thanks again.

1. I ran software update and am up to date. Does this mean that my yet to be activated Boot Camp ap is also up to date?
There are 4 confusing pages of updates listed at Apples website for Boot Camp. I am having a hard time understanding what I need and don't need. For example, what version of Boot Camp do I have? I have Boot Camp Assistant version 3.0.4. Does this mean I have Boot Camp ver 3?
You have Mac OS X Snow Leopard, so you are going to use Boot Camp 3 on Windows. After installing Windows 7 on your MacBook, insert the Snow Leopard DVD and install the Boot Camp drivers from here. Then, as the Boot Camp drivers that your Snow Leopard disc contain are outdated, open Apple Software Update on Windows to install the most recent Boot Camp drivers.

2. The printed Boot Camp instructions do not explain the process of using downloaded Windows drivers; the instuctions only refer to drivers on the original disks. I have the original install disks from around mid 2010 but I am sure many things have been updated by now. Wouldn't the best idea be to download and install? But the instructions only cover using the original disks. How do I use downloaded drivers?
On Snow Leopard, you can only download the Boot Camp drivers for the Late 2010 MacBook Air. On Lion and Mountain Lion, you have to download the Boot Camp drivers for all the computers. If you try to download the Boot Camp drivers on Snow Leopard with your computer, you will get a message telling that there aren't any drivers to download for your MacBook Pro

How do you display a swf video / videos when you mouse over

How do you display a swf video / videos when you mouse over, It'll be something like a pop up but just that it doesn't open in another windows but within the same window and will be like a pop up roll over image.

Thank you for the reply.
I've been putzing around with it and came across the 'SetEventHandler' object and thought I'd try and make that one work.
Here's what I've got so far.
       <mx:SetEventHandler target="{turnAroundMovie}" name="handleMovieClip" handler="stopMovie()"/>
And then my fuction.
   <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            private function stopMovie():void{
                turnAroundMovie.stop(); 
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
My first instinct was the simple stop(), but that didn't fly. I even added a stopMovie frame in my .swf and tried a gotoAndStop('stopMovie'); but that didn't fly either. And that's kind of where I'm stuck at.

How do you imort a .vob video format into I photo or I movie?

How do you imort a .vob video format into I photo or I movie? I tsays it is not a readable format. can that be changed?

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.
