How do you store all your video files?

I am starting to wonder about space. I have a macbook pro that I put a 320GB drive in, I installed all my final cut content to an external 500 GB 7200RPM drive, and started wondering about how long until I need more space. I record video in HD so the files are always a few GB, I have a Terabyte external that I am going to save stuff on for now, as in footage I want to keep for later use.
But I also work with a friend who does some at his place, so I was curious about Network storage. Anyone use that?

Drives are cheap. Pick up a few and store on them. And remember that if you are still recording to tape just hang on to them and you can recapture anytime... no need to keep the files on a drive.

Yes in the sense many members who posted the question dont have the basic courtesy of closing their threads with proper comments as to which suggestion has helped them nor do they reward appropriately.

Yes definitely, only with the experience you can guide the members in a right path.

Couple of years

Received new mac how do you get all your information from old mac?

Received a new mac for my daughter. How do you get all the information from old mac?

Your best bet, by far, is to use Setup Assistant when your shiny new Mac first starts up (not Migration Assistant later).

Do you store all your apps in your library?

i have a rather large amount of apps in my library - around 230. some are a tad large in size, others not. i do sync quite a bit to my iPhone but of course not all. so, i have stored others in my library in case i want to sync them at a later time. so...
question: do you keep all your apps in your library? are we supposed to keep them all in our library or can we delete them and somehow retrieve them later on when we want to resync them to our iPhone?

You should always keep a copy locally. If you delete the app and the app is taken off by the developer then you can't re-download since it's no longer available. Another example is the app is updated and you are stuck with an older IOS and the older app version is gone.

How can you restore ALL your photos back into your iphone after changing your icloud plan to 20GB?!? It ruined my photos and videos, and I don't even know if I have them anymore!!!

Okay. I recently changed my icloud storage plan to 20GB, for $0.99 a month, to have more room in my phone. After that, I realized a lot of my videos were acting up and wouldn't play. I honestly don't know what I did, nor that I can remember, but I tried to play around a little with my phone to see if anything would work again. Then I ended up storing more than HALF of my photos and videos in my icloud storage, and now I can't seem to get them back into my regular iphone stream! I can't see ANY of the pictures/videos stored in icloud, but it tells me that I have 377 photos and 16 videos stored in icloud, and 2.2GB are used, and I could only see 33 photos, and 8 videos in my phone! I want to know how I could UNDO all this, and put EVERYTHING back in my iphone storage, and OFF of icloud! icloud confuses me a lot. I'll just stick with 5GB. HELPP PLEASE!!!
And also, I want to know WHYYYYY I have to keep downloading my videos before playing them!

That's fine.
It takes forever to shut down and to star up (compared to when it was new with snow leopard) .. Some programs are now running slow (iMovie, Photoshop) and very often it just doesn’t respond so i have to turn it off the hard way loosing what I was working on.
Have you tested in a fresh user account, or in Safe Mode ?
A clean install is rarely necessary, and may not even solve the problem. If you plan to do a clean install and migrate, you defeat the purpose of a clean install.
If you do a clean install you'll also need to replace your iLife apps from the disks that shipped with your Mac, they're on Disk 2.

How do you transfer all your files to an external hard drive?

I have an external hard drive and tried to move all my files and documents onto it. The guy at the apple store told me to just drag my user into the hard drive (the icon with the house next to it when you go into Macintosh HD) but it said it could not do that. So i tried to drag just one word document into it and it still had the error. I tried from a PC and it worked fine. Could it be that this external hard drive only works with a PC and Microsoft Operating Systems? Do I need to buy an external hard drive that is only for a Mac??
Please help!!!!

This is not unusual
Quick question, have you formatted the drive using the mac disk utilities?
If you need it to be accessed from both windows and mac, then make sure it's formatted as FAT32 or FAT Extended.
If you uses osx journaled, then the windows computer cannot read it.
When you've done this, then try and drag your files across.
Two words of warning though.
1 when you format a drive, you erase all data on it, so make sure you have copies.
2 FAT32 has a max file size of 4GB, so if you have files larger than that, format as FAT Extended.

How do I convert all the video files in Aperture to M4V?

Hi,
I have alot of video files stored in my Aperture Library in various formats i.e. vob, avi, mpg etc which I would like to batch encode to the standard MP4 format used by iPad/iphone. How do I do this with the new file replacing the existing file so that I don't have to import it again into its various events which will be next to impossible.
Thanking you,
rgowani

Afaik, you cannot. I did this with one Library with several hundred videos. I set up a system of exporting and converting and importing into the proper Project(s) and deleting the originals. I don't remember how I did it -- sorry -- I may have exported into Finder Folders based on Projects, then batch converted the files recursively. I know I couldn't automate parts of the process, so for some things there was nothing to do but labor through the process file by file (or Project by Project). I suspect I used Name Mangler along the way -- an excellent (and to me invaluable) utility. I think the whole process, including design, took about 8 person-hours. Video conversion was over the course of several nights. Strongly suggest mapping your tasks, and doing a dry run. As with all digital files, never even open one with a verified back-up.
How many movies in Aperture? How many Projects?

Hello gentlemen how are you. All your base are belong to us ????

My X server just shut down leaving me with a black screen full of messages, mostly relating to vlc.
In the middle of all this was the above message.
Do we have a developer with a sense of humour or is this something I should be worried about?
I never run the system as root although I usually leave a root terminal open.
Bizarre.

This is ringing many, many bells with openbox.
*scratches head*
*greps openbox source*
-> grep -r "your base are" *
Binary file openbox/.libs/openbox matches
openbox/mainloop.c: fprintf(stderr, "How are you gentlemen? All your base are"
Binary file openbox/openbox_openbox-mainloop.o matches
->
Hm, maybe someone decided to get all funny with their error messages like the OB devs did... or maybe it was the other way around.
The most likely cause is that this message is a SIGSEGV (segmentation fault) trap - a message that is printed to std{out|err} when the app crashes, since OB prints the AYB when it's crashed too.
You can actually segfault apps manually with `kill -SIGSEGV <PID>' or killall -SIGSEGV <processname>'

How can you minimize all open pdf files at once in Acrobat 10?

My company just switched us to Acrobat 10 from 6. Now if I have a number of pdf files open I have to minimize each of them individually. Before all you did was click the minimize button and the program just minimized to the taskbar. How do you do that in Acrobat 10? The Help link is of no use in the program. Maybe this can't be done any longer. If not, pretty stupid.

Use the menu Window > Minimize All Windows

How do you combine audio and video files?

I've brought in a video file and an audio file, but can find no way to specify that they are a single source that should be compressed together. The documentation was of no use. How do you identify video and audio files as being one source?
Thanks!

Semantics, I suppose. In any case, you do need to go through Premiere Pro if you want AME to do the job. There are likely other encoders out there which can perform the muxing, though, if you'd rather not go through PP.

How do you make all your pictures the same size when making a movie?

I am putting together a presentation with jpeg images and .mov files and when they play together in the movie, the .mov do not fill the screen like the jpeg images (which were put together in a movie) - any ideas?

Mixing image and QuickTime video formats is a fun way to build custom movies. You need only understand the best method of organizing your project before starting in QuickTime Pro.
Your image files should be sized to match your video dimensions. Scaling the video up in dimensions will degrade the video quality and you don't want that. Best to edit your JPEG files to the dimension and orientation of your video. Best to "crop" images that are shot in "portrait" mode and scale down in dimension those shot in "landscape" mode so you don't bloat the file size unnecessarily.
When adding images to QuickTime files it's best to add them "scaled" to the audio track portion of the file. Since you also want to add existing "movies" I'm guessing you already have an audio track to use as a background track.
Is this true? Are you using an audio track as the source for your image files and then dropping the existing movies into that finished project?

How do you delete all your data permanatly from iCloud?

My friend just experienced syncing problems, some of his calendar to dos and other appointments simply would not show up, he brought his iPhone over and what do you know, i found out he had iCloud on and syned all his private data with iCloud, basically the world, and he is a public figure.
Now what i find more interesting is that he says he never set up iCloud or wanted to use becuase of fear its in a cloud, can be hacked, and that he disagrees how apple wants access to all his private files., this is true regardless of words used to assure users to go ahead and put anything online.
Now he wants to erase everything possible, he also is seeking an attorney to let him know what happened to investigate a possible hack here, since he never set up iCloud at all or knows how.
Does anyone know how to erase iCloud data at least from the user end?

If you are seeking to take legal action about anything, the last thing you do is post it on a public forum.

How can you convert a large video file from the photo cache of an iphone3g to a playable file on a pc?

how does one transfer a large ( 1gb) video file from an iphone3g photo cache to a pc in a playable format?

The same way you would import any photo/video from a digital camera. Connect the iPhone to the computer and import the file. Then it can be played with Quicktime or any software that supports that file format.
