How is everyone.... Video noise in clips

Hi to all and happy new year to everyone may the bakers not rob us this year !!!!!
I have a videobooth company in Ireland and I have a problem of noise ( grainy fuzzy like picture ).
Its only in some clips more when the subject moves further away from the lens in machine. The machine has a bright light which circles around the lens in order to add light to the subject in darker hotels but it seems to over expose the subject too. ( i know how to adjust the exposure in imovie )
I think I have come across something in imovie before and i think f shippey told me how i can adjust the noise or fix it I have just forgotten how to.
Any help much appreciated
Tim

sorry typo I hope the bankers don't rob us all this year

How to split video files into clips

please help this noob. i have adobe master collection cs3 and i'm totally lost as to how i can take a large video file and split it into various clips... example being a 20 minute fireworks display and i want to split that movie into a few dozen clips of specific fire works events. what package do i use and how might i go about setting the various start and finish markers and then export those chosen clips.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks much
michael

Exporting segments out one at a time is hardly rocket surgery.
At the top of the timeline is a movable bar called the "Work Area Bar". You can set the in and out points of this bar over the area you wish to export, go to "File/Export/Movie" and make sure you have "Work Area Bar" selected rather than "Entire Sequence". Export to the same project settings you're working with. Repeat for each section.

Inserting video between two clips

Hi does anyone know how to insert video between two clips without erasing some of the two clips. I want to insert and have the other clips just make room for the new clip, extending the timeline the necessary amount. I thought you could just drag it in but it keeps erasing the existing footage in the timeline. Any advise would be awesome

Make sure the playhead is parked between two clips, and drag the clip from the browser/viewer to the canvas, dropping it on the "insert" box in the edit overlay. Or you could drag the clip from the viewer/browser to the timeline but make sure the arrow that appears is facing to the right, not down.

How can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

how can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

First, go to iMovie/Preferences and enable the Advanced Tools.
Import the video clip into an iMovie Event. When you get ready to use it in an iMovie Project, select the clip in the Event and drag & drop it on top of a video or photo clip in the project at the place where you want it to begin. When the pop-up menu appears, choose Audio Only.

I have a lot of HD video on my hard drive that I eventually want to edit in iMovie, but just don't have the time now. It is clogging up the computer, though. How do I take the Hd clips off Mac for later editing?

I have a lot of HD video on my hard drive that I eventually want to edit in iMovie, but just don't have the time now. It is clogging up the computer, though. How do I take the Hd clips off Mac for later editing?

See "Storage drive" here
Most commonly used backup methods
Th problem with HD video is it needs a fast external interface, so you should pick a external drive that uses the fastest interface your computer has to offer.
Performance rank fastest to slowest is
Thunderbolt, USB3, (newer Mac's)
Firewire 800, USB 2, Firewire 400, USB 1 (older Mac's)
Newer Windows PC's have USB3, older one's USB 2,1.
You need to format the drive if it comes FAT which a lot do, as FAT has a 4GB file size limit, so this won't work with large HD video files.
So if your going to use the drive only with a Mac, then head to Utlities > Disk Utility and format it Options: GUID Format: OS X Extended Journaled. (select the drive makers name and click Partition tab)
If your going to use the external drive with a PC, take it to the oldest PC you have and right click and format exFAT.
If you have a Windows XP machine and there is no exFAT, it can be downloaded for free from Microsoft.

When I use Photoshop CS 6 to edit video, I don't know how to change video speed after I converted the clip to smart object?

When I use Photoshop CS 6 to edit video, I don't know how to change video speed after I converted the clip to smart object? The clip color turns purple and it only allows me to add motion but not change the clip duration and speed anymore.

Thanks for the reply and as a work around method I used the Photoshop to do all the adjustments then export the video to iMovie to finish the final cut. I also have a problem to paint or clone on a blank video layer created in Photoshop. It tells me the time is beyond the target frame time, I don't understand the message. Can you explain to me what did I do wrong? Thanks a lot!

Here is a Tutorial on How to sync Multiple Video and Audio Clips

Check out my Tutorial on How to sync Multiple Video and Audio Clips http://vimeo.com/28972315

Very true ! My main point was to show how easy it was to sync. I still think apple has a way to go to make this a great tool. It was fast to edit but when I want to send somthing to AE 5.5 it was a nightmare. I do I love how it organizes keywords and the color correction tools are good if you want to do it your self (check out this site http://www.colorgradingcentral.com/final-cut-pro-x-color-grading-table-of-conten ts ) it will be a great program if apple listens to all the comments but does not make it too complicated the you cant create quickly.

How can I incorporate several video and audio clips into one iMovie project?

Hello all. Basically, I'm trying to solve a problem before it becomes one. I'm going to put together a short iMovie project for a thank-you dinner. Several people from out-of-town will not be able to make the dinner. I want to give them the opportunity to "speak" by having them put together a short video or audio clip. I then need to gather up all the clips and put them together in one iMovie project. I guess I'm looking for some assistance in terms of format, what types of files/formats to use, etc. I've done a few movies (mainly from still pictures -- glorified slideshows with music). But, I'm still a relative neophyte when it comes to the computer world. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. (feel free to point to a "How to " tutorial if there's a good one out there).
Thanks.

your problem will not be the process of 'glueing stuff together'
follow advice given here
http://www.apple.com/support/imovie/
under 'Getting started' or follow the 'Video' tutorials ...
the real task is, to make all clips readable for usage in iM ...
before making you a technician on video-codecs:
download and install the free tools Mpeg Streamclip and Perian.org
you have to relaunch your Mac after doing so...-
BEFORE adding any of your external sources into an Event, use Streamclip to manually convert to DV, or if source is HDef, to Quicktime/Appleintermediate.
the resulting files should import flawless into iM, proceed as usual.
iM 'swallows' a lot of formats, so it could be this manual conversion isn't needed ...
don't hesitate to come back here, if probs occur ...

How do I deal with a lot of video noise in underexposed aeras. This also happens at low ISO

I seem to have a lot of high video noise in underexposed aeras. This is specially visible in the blacks, it shows more because of the blacks and happens at all ISO values. On other forums I read this can be caused by camera been used a lot and or to much ISO. What do you recommend so I can have less noise in the videopicture?

Some users had reported a similar issue in 3.3Beta2, but it was resolved for them in 3.3Beta3, but it seems like that didn't work out for you.
Can you share a small project that reproduces the issue at [email protected] and [email protected], so that we can look at the issue?
Thanks,

How to connect jpeg to timeline clip replacing video but keeping audio

I put some video in the project timeline and now I would like to connect several still pictures (jpeg) at specific points in this video so that you hear the sound from the video but only see the still image.
Connecting my jpeg to the clip in the timeline is not a problem. Once connected, however, the still picture only covers a part of the video (i.e. only the center part of the video) during playback. The jpeg is superimposed on the center part of the video, but the sides of the video still show up as played.
What i would like is for the jpeg to completely superimpose the video in the clip, but be able to listen to the audio story told by the video in the background .
I tried resizing the jpeg to 16:9 aspect ration before importing it, but this made no difference. I have also considered doing the connecting in the other direction, i.e. to place the jpeg into the primary timeline and connect the audio part of the video to the jpeg. This might work, but I would rather not do this because it would require adjusting the size of many video clips.
I am a novice, so any help would be much appreciated.
Francisco

Problem solved.
To a large extent the solution is illustrated here around minute 13:47 in this tutorial by Jerad Hill:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F-Y6iMdtQg&feature=related
Here it is suggested that you double click in the picture and zoom in and out to get the picture adjusted to take up the whole screen. This you do by opening the inspector, on the video tab, and the transform tool. You use the scale slider to increase or decrease the scale of your photograph (or connected video clip) so that it fits the screen.
I will leave this discussion posted just in case it helps someone else.

How do I merge multiple audio clips to one?

Hey Everyone,
After syncing multiple clips in PE I import them into Premiere CS6 and they are all layered with their own audio tracks (though the video clips are synced with only one audio track). This causes inconsistent audio levels. How do I join all these clips which originally derived from one audio recorder to merge as one? If there is a step by step process please advise. Thanks in advance, you guys are beyond awesome.
Mike Diaz

If all audio is from a single audio source (with consistent levels0 ..the only reason you would be getting different audio levels on different audio tracks is if the Mixer has different settings....or the audio has been changed at clip level.
Its usually desireable to have audio clips on different tracks.
Can you not just drag the audio clips to a single audio track...if that's what you really need?
Alternatively a mixdown...but that requires sorting the levels anyway. ( Mixer on automation or at clip level.)

Adjust Video Noise

So I would like to adjust some video noise of a clip recorded in low light. Any suggestions? I searched and found an addon called neat video but not working correctly. Any info greatly appreciated on how to adjust this video noise. Thanks

Actually I am looking at answers for both. When I posted this topic, I was originally looking to adjust video noise to several clips recorded in low light. Then I came across once clip, where the background audio noise is too loud where you cannot hear the person speaking. It happened to be when I responded, I was so caught up on the audio noise reduction search that I forgot what my original topic was all about. So yes I am looking at adjusting both, video noise recorded during low lights and reducing background noise on a clip.Thanks again and I apologize for the confusion... I can post a new subject for audio noise...

Premiere Pro CS6 - video noise in the exported file

Hi everyone,
Im trying to make the transition from FCP7 to Premiere Pro CS6. I edited my first project with Premiere Pro and exported the sequence. However I noticed that the exported file had more video noise than the original clips.
The material is shot by Canon 5D Mark III and edited natively in the Premiere's timeline. Then they are exported to ProRes 422. After noticing the noise I exported the sequence as "match the sequence settings" and it created the .mpeg file. Same thing, there was noise. I then tried another other formats of that same clip and transcoded the Mark III footage to Xdcam EX 1080p before sending to premiere. Same thing, no matter what I did.
The only way i got the exported file to look the same as original file, was to convert the files before sending to ProRes 422, then edit those files in Premiere in the sequence thats settings are XDCAM EX 1080p and then to export it to ProRes422.
Do you have any thoughts for this. The noise I'm talking about is not a huge amount of noise but definitely noticeable if you look the FULL-HD material.
I really hope there is some setting I missed. Im using Mac pro 2009 and Macbook pro 2011.
Thanks

Hi Thomas
Try exporting by enabling "Render at maximum depth" and " Use maximum render quality" in the export dialogue window.

Imported animations from SolidWorks have video noise at top

New problem with my proof-of-concept video at work...we are intercutting short animation sequences with "live" video clips to create a sort of "how-to" video for employees. The animation sequences are rendered in SolidWorks Composer as *.AVI files, and then imported into Premiere Elements 12 (all of which is done on a Win7 machine). The entire sequence is then published from Premiere.
The problem is there is a thin line of "video noise" across the top of the animation sequences. It doesn't interfere with the content of the video, but it's annoying as heck, and we can't figure out what's causing it. We've tried:
Changing aspect ratio on animation export (from within SWC) to match the size of "live" video clips in Premiere project.
Changing aspect ratio on animation export (from within SWC) to match final published video size of Premiere project (i.e. 720x480 30fps 4:3).
Turning off display of background "paper" from within SWC.
Running auto-analyze on imported animation clips within Premiere.
Exporting from Premiere in several different formats (i.e. *.wmv, *.mpg, etc.).
Exporting the animation sequence as a series of high-res images (from SWC) at 30fps, importing images in Photoshop and rendering as Quicktime video at 30fps.
None of these has solved the problem. Interestingly, we have yet to find an export setting in SWC that causes the animation sequences to be the same size as the Premiere video. Neither setting the aspect ratio to 1920x1080 (the size of the "live" video clips in the project) nor setting the ration to 720x480 (the Premiere-exported size of the video) causes the animations to be the same size as the video on either side of it.
Anybody have any ideas here?

CanrigTW
Great news. Thanks for the follow up. Good job.
Did you ever say what computer operating system your Premiere Elements 12 is running on?
Were you in the Expert workspace when you were seeking the Crop Effect?
And then when you edit the Crop Effect
Just in case screenshots.
But, the Scale worked great for you.
Best wishes
