How to import Skype Video into FinalCutPro?

How can I save the video interview and then import it into FCP for editing and inclusion into the presentation?
HELP...

3. Then what?????
Shane, thanks but can you help me to understand your solution....

How to import YouTube videos into FCP for editing

I am doing a television interview, and we want to cut away to a YouTube video. Is there a way to download and import YouTube videos into Final Cut Express?

It's a clip from CNN (with all credits etc. added). When one refers to it as a clip posted on "YouTube", then people understand the quality will be poor.
I've watched television go from everything shot on a tripod with clean, meticulous editing rules, to almost anything goes. It has to do with cultural reference.

How to import youtube video into premiere cs4

I installed adobe premiere cs4 and was really astonished by the fact that it's not possible to import a video downloaded from YouTube, but it is needed to convert it firstly. This application is weight about 3GB on my hard disk and now I must search for a plugin to import a video from YT.
It would be perfectly if i could download a video directly into premiere, and also upload finished file up to youtube.
The only result of my search is a paid plugin named moyea-importer - USD 70, but it seems it works only with earlier versions of premiere, before cs4.
Is there any free plugin for this task. Or any similar solution.
If not - in which format should I download youtube video, in which format should I convert it (what is the best converter for that) to make it editable in premiere.
Working on win xp sp3.
Thanks.

Also, CS4 has a different forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premierepro_previous?view=all
Maybe a MOD will come along and move this discussion to the correct forum
As Mark says, CS4 is old... and CS5 and later were complete rewrites of the source code, to be 64bit instead of 32bit, so internal operations are not the same

TS3355 I loaded video from an external hard drive to my desktop. How do I import the video into iMovie 09? I tried "Import Camera Archive". Didn't work.

I loaded video from an external hard drive to my desktop. How do I import the video into iMovie 09? I tried "Import Camera Archive". Didn't work.

It depends on the type of video. iMovie will only import video that it can edit.
In general, you would use FILE/IMPORT MOVIE...

I tried to import a video into iMovie. Its says their is not enough space on the destination disk. I deleted many projects, and events. Nothing changed. What files do I delete and how?

I tried to import a video into iMovie. Its says their is not enough space on the destination disk. I deleted many projects, and events. Nothing changed. What files do I delete and how?

Hard drive full or near full:
You are going to have to delete, move or archive your data to regain hard drive space.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive older emails you want to save.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Uninstall apps that you no longer use. If the app has a dedicated uninstaller, use it to completely uninstall the app. If the app has no uninstaller, then just drag it to the OS X Trash icon and empty the Trash.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its thing initially, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run all of the processes in the tabs. Let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be moved, also, to the external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
You may have to Purchase an external FireWire or Thunderbolt hard drive to move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

How do I import GoPro video into Final Cut Pro X?

I'm about to purchase Final Cut Pro X (10.1.4). Will I be able to import my GoPro files? Do I have to convert them to another file type? Has anybody imported GoPro video into their projects? I believe that GoPro Studio can convert the video files into GoPro Cineform files that you're supposed to be able to import into 3rd Party Applications such as Final Cut Pro X.
If you have any advice, I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks,
Kiki

I just copy the Gopro MP4 files on to a hard drive then import the media into a FCPX library. I have had no issues with dealing with GOPRO videos, but I am running a Hero 2 and a hero 3+. I am no expert on it, I just do it.

Import a video into iphone imovie for editting

Hi everyone!
This is my first question and need a bit of help. I only have an iphone with imovie on it.
Is it possible to import a video into imovie to use and edit it on the iphone?
The video I want to import was taken by a camcorder and I assume I will need to convert it into an .MOV file but then how do I get it into imovie???
Thank you in advance!

You need to convert those videos to iMovie for iOS compatible video format on your computer, then sync the converted video to your iPhone 4. Here's instructions for doing so on a Mac:

Importing analogue video into imovie.

I am trying to import analogue video into imovie 5 using my canon i830 dv camera with tape out. imovie 5 will not import using this method and as I only have a few tapes to transfer I do not want to purchase further hardware. Will imovie 6 enable me to do this. Any sugestions?

iMovie has not changed in how it imports video from camcorders to the best of my knowledge. Your DV camcorder with a Firewire connection should import to iM4, 5 (HD), or 6. So it would appear that there is a problem with a setting, hardware, or something else keeping it from working. Sooooo....
Let's explore your setup. You have a DV camcorder right? It has a Firewire port? You are connecting the camera, with a Firewire cable, directly to the Mac? Daisy chained off an external hard drive? Via a Firewire hub?
Does the menu of the camera feature different connection types that you can select from (e.g. Firewire, USB, A/V jacks, etc.)?
What mode do you put the camera in when you attempt to import? Camcorder record mode? VCR play mode? Other?
When you hook up the camera what exactly happens? Do you get absolutely nothing? Do you get a message that the camcorder is connected but then can not get it to import? Do you get an error message?
Are you in an iMovie project when you attempt to import? Or are you trying to see the camcorder from the desktop?
Are you SURE the cable you have is OK? Have you tried it on another device to verify? Some cables have the molded over plastic higher on the connector than others. I personally have had devices with deep ports on them that a cable with more molded plastic (less exposed metal) not connecting but swapping to another cable with less molding and more of the metal connector exposed working correctly.

Importing quicktime videos into imovie

Can you please tell me how to import quicktime movies into imovie 7.1.4. I have quicktime pro.
Also, is it possible to adjust exposures in quicktime pro?

I'm afraid it doesn't work. At least I don't succeed dong it with Imovie 08
Nothing happens when you drag the Quicktime file in the Imovie project window or on the Imovie icon in the dock…
Then I import my quicktime.mov in my Iphoto library. No problem
But how can you force Imovie 08 to actualize the "vignettes" (in french) of Iphoto.
Then you would see it in the Iphoto videos and then just easy.
It does it from time to time, but you don't control it.
Would it be better via Itunes ?
Well, It was easy with Imovie HD
Then you can say : import it in ImovieHD then import The HD movie in Imovie 08. Very poor result !
There must a more Apple way to do it !

Import Live Video into LabVIEW

I am an electrical engineering working on my senior project at Western New England College. I am working with a small team building a quadrotor UAV and part of my task is to add some image processing to the craft. I have the algorithm to do the processing but I am not sure how to import the images into LabVIEW. We are using a FlyCamOne3 camera on the UAV and transmitting the images back through a 5.8 GHz transmitter and want to take the video from the receiver into LabVIEW. We do not have a large budget so I was hoping I could use a standard capture card to read the video in and pass it to LabVIEW. I read that the device needs to be DirectShow compliant but I do not know what that means exactly. The reading I did indicated that DirectShow is a piece of software from Microsoft and not a part of the hardware. Our team plans to run all of the code on a laptop so the capture card would have to be USB, firewire, or ethernet. I would really appreciate any help finding an appropriate capture card for this application or some other solution to the problem.
Thanks for your help
Tyler

I have spent a good part of the day searching for firewire, ethernet, and USB 2.0 capture cards without having much success. It appears that the options on that front are fairly limited and I was having a hard time confirming that the options I found would be DirectShow compliant. I finally found an older thread on this forum which suggested to use a video to firewire converter however. I managed to find Video-to-USB converter which converts from an RCA video to USB and the documentation claims it has a driver for LabView. Is there any way to tell if this would be compatible with newer version of LabView? I am concerned that the hardware is about 5 years old and if things have changed substantially in the way LabView aquires the image then it may not be compatible anymore.
Thanks,
Tyler

Importing home videos into your nano

Hi,
First time trying to download homemade family videos into ipod. I am reading how to import a video using the itunes help directions. Nothing is happening when I duplicate the directions. Am I missing something simple? The video is in my computer. It is not on a disc. Why is itunes not recognizing my videos when I select it and import it. Is there a separate import command that I need to do?. The format of the video file is WMV which is next generation of a WMA file.
There is a video currently in the ipod that came with an itunes song. So I can run videos on the ipod. And this video is listed in my itunes libary.
To import an individual audio file, choose File > Add File to Library, and then locate the music file you want added to your library.
■ To import all the audio files in a folder, choose File > "Add Folder to Library," and then locate the folder containing the music you want added to your library. The My Music folder (inside the My Documents folder) is often the default location for files imported using other applications, such as MusicMatch.
