How to cut up a large video file into smaller files?

I have a 30 minute video file I recorded on my camera. I need to make it into 6 smaller video so I can work on them separately instead of importing such a large file in final cut. Is there a way I can do this with Final Cut Pro?
Thanks in advanced!

No. FCP is a non-destructive editor. Once you ingest a clip it stays there on your drive unchanged until you delete it. FCP is really a dataaaaabase with instructions for playing back clips in order, applying filters, audio adjustments etc. If you want separate clips you have two options: either log and capture in chunks, or set markers on the clip and export smaller pieces, then re-import them.
But I guess the question in my mind is, if it's already captured, why bother? you'll do your editing of the segments and export the finished pieces anyway...

How can I send a large video file from my iPhone 4?

How can I send (by text) a (fairly) large video file from my iPhone 4 without it getting compressed first?
If that's not possible is there a way to uncompress the video file one it is received onto the receiving iPhone?
Or is there a way to sync or transfer a video file from iPhone to iPhone?

ExFAT would be the best file system format, as it will handle files greater than 4GB.
If exFAT is not available, go for FAT32.
Just FAT is too limiting, so avoid that

How to use and publish large video files in presenter 7 ?

I am creating video intensive e-learning contents in presenter 7 (updated to 7.05).
I generally, use 2 or 3 flv files (up to 50 MB size) in my presentation.
After I publish my presentation in a web site, users must wait too long for watching any single video.
Is there any method to use large video files (flv or any format) in presenter 7 and users can watch videos without any delay?
Best regards.

The problem you're facing is that Adobe Presenter output video playback is primarily Progressive Download rather than Streaming.
Options, for you, include:
1) Figure out a streaming video solution
2) Use Adobe Media Encoder to compress/squash your video into more manageable sizes before importing the video into Presenter. I have found a decent compromise is the Web Medium preset as its datarate of 600kbps is just about the most a DSL connection can handle.
3) Split your videos (instead of 2-3 50MB files, you'd have 4-6 25MB files).

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.

How can I move a large video file from my iphone ... iMac / PC

I have a large iPhone Video File that I cannot transfer from my iphone to my flashdrive as it is too big.
I realize that I can reformat an empty flash drive using Disk Utilities and I should then be able to transfer the file.
My question: What do I select when reformating the flash drive so that it will be accepted by both a PC and an iMac?

How do I email a large video file (which has been zipped)?

I moved the video file from my iPhone to iPhoto and then exported to desktop. I zipped it and cannot email it. I suspect it's too big (I can't seem to find the file size info). Now I wish I had emailed it directly from my iPhone - seems that always worked with no issue.
Thanks for any advice!

Movies shot on your Phone are massively compressed already. Zipping will make no difference to the file size.
Many email services have an attachment limit if 20mb and some an attachment limit of 10mb. That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing. Options:
Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material onlne.
Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they downoad the material to their machines to view.

How do I split a large video file into seperate episodes/files?

Hello all,
I have a 52 minute long video that I need to split into 3 seperate files before I can edit it (so I can upload it to youtube as 3 separate episodes). I know how to split layers and do all the basic editing etcetera, but I am stumped on how to turn those split layers into separate files.
Any help on this issue is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I thought of a work around that I should have thought of days ago. It can even be done in windows movie maker it's that simple.
I will end up just splitting the original video clip and deleting the latter half of the video and saving the first clip and then reloading the original source file again and repeating the process with the following clip.
I can include a little bit of the previous episode in the following one that way as well. Tried rendering the full 52 minute video but it ended up stuck on 99% so just stopped and I will go about splitting it in the above mentioned way.
However, thanks for the comments both of you.

How can I email a large video file which is on my iPad ?

Typically viides exceed the attachment size limit established by the mail providers and thus can't be emailed.
Try an app like DropBox to transfer them to the cloud and then get them from that cloud.

Uploading Large videos Files to SharePoint 2010

Uploading Large video Files to SharePoint 2010 for employee training portal
Saidireddy

Hello ,
The default maximum file size for SharePoint Lib is 50 MB. You can change the maximum file upload size in SharePoint 2010 .However;
a large volume of very large files can affect farm performance.
Ref to change maximum file upload size
http://aryannava.com/2011/05/30/how-to-change-the-maximum-file-upload-size-in-sharepoint-2010/
I would suggest you that instead of uploading large files to SharePoint, you can Upload those files to File server or
media steaming server and Share those links to SharePoint server.
You can embed those links to SharePoint Silver Media player in .mp4 or .wmv formats.

How to Upload a Very Large Video on my MacBook?

I have a large video file on my camera and both iphoto and image capture won't upload it. The camera is a Canon Powershot SD 750. Both iphoto and image capture say they are uploading, but after a while iphoto says it is done without uploading the video, and image capture just sits there and says it is transferring and never finishes. The video is probably a little under 2gb in size. I currently have around 4gb of space in my computer hard drive.
Any other suggestions on how to get it onto my computer?

Welcome to the forum!
First and foremost, ALWAYS leave at least 10% free space on ALL hard drives ... especially the boot drive. The OS uses the free space for temp and swap files. Without enough free space things will start getting weird.
Since there's isn't enough free space on your boot drive, delete any unneeded files or move them to another drive.

Segmenting large video files

can anyone recommend a software to divide up large video files into 1GB chunks ready for upload to my iDisk storage. The files will be in MPEG2 format.

You can break up large files into smaller segments using the Terminal command "Split".
In the following example, we will break an (imaginary) movie, "MyFilm.mov" into 1000MB pieces.
Place the file to be split onto the desktop (this keeps it simple, otherwise you will have to "cd" to the directory where your movie resides)
Open Terminal and...
TYPE: *cd desktop* and press return.
TYPE: *split -b 1000m MyFilm.mov* and press return.
This will produce a number of files on your desktop named xaa, xab, xac and so on. There is a way to retain the original name or rename the file to something else but I don't have documentation on this at hand. You could move them to a suitably named folder.
The "1000m" part of the command is the size of the individual split files (in this case, the file will be broken into pieces of approx. 1000MB each
This may take some time to process, depending on the total size of the resulting files, how much RAM you have and the speed of your Mac.
At some point, your archived files will need to be re-assembled into a viewable movie. So....
Rejoin a set of split files:
Place all the files "xaa", "xab" etc, that are to be rejoined, onto the desktop
(keep it simple, remember...)
In Terminal;
TYPE: *cd desktop* and press return.
Type cat x* > MyFilm.mov and press return. Again, this may take some time, depending on the size of the resulting files.

Out of Memory Error and large video files

I created a simple page that links a few large video files (2.5 gig) total size. On Preview or FTP upload Mues crashes and gives a Out of Memory error. How should we handle very large files like this?

Upload the files to your host using an FTP client (i.e. Filezilla) and hyperlink to them from within your Muse site.
Muse is currently not designed to upload files this large. The upload functionality takes the simple approach of reading an entire linked file into RAM and then uploading it. Given Muse is currently a 32-bit application, it's limited to using 2Gb of RAM (or less) at any given time regardless of how much RAM you have physically installed. We should add a check to the "Link to File..." feature so it rejects files larger than a few hundred megs and puts up a explanation alert. (We're also hard at work on the move to being a 64-bit app, but that's not a small change.)
In general your site visitor will have a much better experience viewing such videos if you upload them to a service like YouTube or Vimeo rather than hosting them yourself. Video hosting services provide a huge amount of optimization of the delivery of video that's not present for a file hosted on standard hosting (i.e. automatic resizing of the video to the appropriate resolution for the visitor's device (rather than potentially downloading a huge amount of unneeded data), transcoding to the video format required by the visitor's browser (rather than either having to due so yourself or have some visitors unable to view your video), automatic distribution of a highly viewed video to multiple data centers for better performance in multiple geographies, and no doubt tons of other stuff I'm not thinking of or am ignorant of.
