How to make an iMovie edited clip copy elsewhere in EDITED format?

OK- here is the rub. I have been importing horridly long analogue clips which span a decade and often the clips run on and on- some as long/large as 32GB.
Now- I have noticed that when I have imported a sequence (and this one is called Clip 3 and is 12.3GB) and have chopped it up into wee dated and categorised clips within the one iMovie project when I come to take, say a 3 minute segment which is all nice and edited (black overlaps cut away and blips removed) and copy it to my desktop for use elsewhere I am ACTUALLY copying ALL of the original 12.3GB Clip 3.
IS there anywhere to make the edits, paring-down TAKE on the iMovie side so that what I export is JUST that wee exerpt from that original clip, or not?
It irks me that if I am trying to get 2 minutes of footage already edited from that 44 minute one I STILL get ALL of the 44 minutes exported. Bloaty, bloaty, bloaty... And yes- I have emptied trash (so the black gaps and blips are GONE, I thought) and I have saved the project after the edits.
I must be missing something fundamental here, right?
Ta muchly for help

Let's keep your relatives' sporans out of this! LOL!
You say you have decade's worth of VHS to deal with. So did I a year ago.
I started taking home videos in 1986. After editing by such means as were available then, I would transfer them to VHS tape, for my self and extra copies to relatives. I would then delete the original camera tape in order to save money. Bad move! I stopped doing that in about 1990, and have retained all original tapes ever since.
But, like you, I had priceless home videos from way back when to transfer to DVDs for posterity. Like you, no doubt, I imported via an analogue to digital converter into iMovie, edited with a quantum leap in accuracy, with added music, and burned them to DVD.
Unlike you, I did not attempt to import the entire lot at once! I did them in date order, mostly about one hour at a time, never more than 90 minutes, which was sometimes necessary for continuity reasons. Unlike you I set clips to import at 3 minutes each, having invested in David Pogue's 'iMovie 6 & iDVD 6 -The Missing Manual' which I got from Amazon. For the first two or three iMovie projects I followed the advice in the book, page by page. Now I am more confident!
But now you are, temporarily at least, stuck with humungeous clips of epic length and ending up with iMovie projects probably exceeding 50GB in size.
There is only one answer: start again with the proper settings. You will soon develop a workflow that suits your needs, without 'project bloat'. Just do one event/season/year at a time. DVDs are cheap, so make lots of them. Only we, the auteurs have the patience to devour more than an hour's worth at a time. Our audiences will quickly develop square eyes and instant insomnia.
I am certain that I have a clip of 32GB but that cannot then be- as the Hi8 tapes are only 90 minutes long, right?
Right. 90 minutes of tape = ca. 20GB of DV iMovie. But you said you were importing from VHS? You must have made the VHS from more than one camera tape? Or did you have one of those naff VHS video cameras?

  • Adobe pro 8: how to make an existing secure encrptyed form unfillable after editing

    Hello,
    as the discussion topic says.
    adobe pro 8: how to make an existing secure encrptyed form unfillable after editing?  Is it even possible to do in adobe pro 8?
    For work there's a secure and encrptyed form.  I want to write in the form and save it so it will be unfillable / uneditable.
    this form is not created by myself, and already secure and encrypted.
    I am aware that in other recent adobe pro versions on how to do this, since they have a " save as a copy" function in the file menu. (adobe 8 doesnt have)
    I've also tried printing as a PDF, but due to encryption of the form, that doesn't come out great.
    Upgrading to a recent version of adobe pro is not an option.
    I've also tried exporting as a picture files and then recombinding them to a pdf.  I dont like this method and find it time consuming.
    If possible please inform me of a way to solve this problem , step by step with adobe pro 8's features.
    or
    show me the equivalent method to how recent versions "save a copy" of a secure encrypted form on adobe pro 8.
    Thanks in advance for reading this thread and helping.

    Well after you use save a copy, and the security is disabled, you could then re enable security features and disable editing of the form.
    EDIT: I just tested , with a PDF is in secure mode, even using a "save a copy" feature wouldn't work.
    Would finding a program to desecure the pdf be a possible option?
    Or is there a way to copy the form (with all it's editable fields) and paste it as an unsecure pdf?
    You would then be able to make new security features.
    thanks for replying and viewing this problem.

    Adobe Captivate 7 Project How to make Rollover cations, audio, and video work in HTML format?

    Honestly, I don't even know why this is an option. The conversion to Flash is completely unusable.
    I have exported some things to Flash, and since I program in Flash all the time I was able to manipulate to work to some degree. Most text captions are built with multiple elements and completely fall apart.
    Sorry, I can't be of more help.

  • How to make audio of many clips the same level?

    I have a sequence containing many interview clips which all seem to be at different sound levels. Is there any easy way to make all of these the same level? The only way I know how to adjust the level is using the volume level control under audio effects for a particular clip.
    Also i'm wondering whether there is a way to filter out background noise?
    Many Thanks

    If the mic was a different distance etc then you'll never be able to make them all sound exactly the same tone.  But For the background noise I'd really recommend the effects inside premiere I've already mentioned I have found that 90 percent of the time I don't ever need to use audition for interview type edits. I'm able to get by using a denioser and highpass to remove "most background" noises. However I don't film outside very often most of my background noise problems are usaully from too much gain or AC noise. So your scenario might be different than mine for this reason.
    The benifit of the compressor is that it can make your audio stay exactly within whatever range you want without having to keyframe stuff. With the clips you have desribed you'll want to use a different dynamics filter for each group. So put each group on it's own audio track. So group one that you have desribed would go on track 1 since all those clips have similar range etc. Basically with group 1 I wouldn't compress it at all. I'd leave it alone except for lowering it's audio by -2 on the audio track 1. That way all the clips in the first group will be lowered by 2db if you put them all on track 1. You won't have to worry about it's slightly too high peaks as long as you set a dynamics effect with nothing enabled on it besides the limiter on the master track and have the limiter set to -6 since you said that's what you need your max peak to be. If you do this then everything in group one will be handled as far as levels go. (as far as db goes anyways) However if you want to have other things in the project to be higher than -6 then just simply put the -6 limiter turned on track 1 then instead of the master track.
    Then for the second group I wouldn't touch them at all I'd put them on track 2 and just let the limter on the master track keep it's peaks from going to high since it's basically already where you want it. Then if the clips have a hissing noise or something you can add a denoiser and set the reduction to -10 and adjust from there.
    Then for your final set you are desribing -22 to -12 for these I'd put them on track 3 and use a dynamics filter and keep everything disabled except for the compressor itself. For this I'd start with my ratio at 2 and put my threshold at -20 and set my makeup gain at 9 or so. Then from there if it looks like it's way to loud then try lowering the gain and if it looks like its lows are too quite then add the gain back but if it appears to be to loud then simply raise your ratio or lower the threeshold a bit. But I think the settings I have listed will get your to your desired range.
    For the clips that are hitting -0 a lot if they are distorting then you really can't fix distortion but if they are hitting 0 and aren't distorting then you can just simply lower the volume for these you don't need to add any gain since they are already too loud anyways so if you just lower them by like -6 it should get them right within the range you mentioned.
    As far as background noise such as hissing you'll really want to just use Premiere's denoiser effect. Start off by setting the reduction to like -10 and adjust from there. Then for cars passing etc try out a highpass filter and set it to 120 to start and move up there if needed. It will take the bass out of the peoples voices but it won't sound bad unless you start going over 160-170 range it also depends on if the person has a deep voice to begin with or not too though.

  • How to make speed up movie clips?

    Let's say I take a movie of my daughter cleaning her room (45 min.)...but I want it to look like she did it in 20 sec! Make it look like she's zooming around the room? I've seen it in movies, but not sure how to do it myself?
    Would also like to attach music to it!
    Is that possible with imovie 08?

    Let's say I take a movie of my daughter cleaning her room (45 min.)...but I want it to look like she did it in 20 sec!
    There are a number of ways. The two easiest would be to either do your editing in iMovie HD (free to iLife '08 users) or use the JES Deinterlacer (free) to modify the motion externally as a pre-edit for iMovie '08.
    Would also like to attach music to it!
    This can be done in any video editor (e.g. iMovie) during normal editing or in GarageBand as a post edit.

  • How to make the Pager for table view as non editable?

    Hi,
    I am using an HTMLB pager for my table view .
    It appears as Page '1' of 2 for examle.
    But '1' is dispalyed in an input field.
    How do I make this input field as disabled.
    I just want to use the Vertical and horizontal indicators to traverse through the pages of the table view.
    I do not want the user to enter the page number ..
    Thanks,

    Look at SBSPEXT_XHTMLB sample, pages pager.bsp and pagerX.bsp.
    If you use the external pager, then you can specify a format where a text string will only be displayed without an inputfield for editing.

  • How to make a field with inserted field's values editable?

    The form data will be submitted to sharepoint library.
    I tried to edit "Notice" field on view 2 and submitted it to the library, but when I opened it I didn't see the changes I made.
    Is there any way to make the field "notice" Editable and being able to save the chaanges on View 2?
    I know if I set up the value for notice just by text string without inserted value, it will capture my changes but that is not what I want.
    Please help, thanks.
    yuhong xiao

    Hi,
    According to your description, you might want that "Notice" field has a default value when form is created and users can be able to change the value of that
    field.
    As a workaround, you can add an action rule in “Name” field via InfoPath to fill the default value in “Notice” field only when “Name” field is not blank and “Notice”
    field is blank.
    Settings of the rule are as below, you can modify it based on your need:
    Here is a link about how to add an action rule in InfoPath form, you can use it as a reference:

  • [FCP S2] How to make each scene a clip when capturing video?

    Hi,
    I'm totally new to Final Cut Pro and have recently purchased my Mac Pro and FCP Studio 2. I come from background of Pinnacle Studio on PC and so this seems like a huge leap.
    Any way, With Pinnacle Studio, when capturing video it automatically made each scene (point between Start rec and Stop rec on Video Camera) into a clip. I could then drag&drop the clips I wanted into my project timeline. I can tnen eaily add transitions inbetween these clips in my time line.
    Now with FCP S2, it seems to capture the video as one long clip and apparently, as I've been told, the only way to separate each scene is to manually cut at the point of a scene cut. Now I can't believe that $1200 software would make you do that and $99 software does this automatically. So I have come here in the hope to find an expert who can explain to me, in very simple terms and steps, how I can achieve this in FCP S2.
    Any help will be much appreciated.

    Here is a bit of the FCP manual that relates to capturing a single tape and capturing individual clips for each break in TC:
    How to Avoid Capturing Clips with Timecode Breaks
    The “On timecode break” pop-up menu in the General tab of the User Preferences
    window gives you several ways to avoid capturing clips with timecode breaks. It’s
    important to set this option to suit the way you intend to capture your clips. You have
    several options:
    Â Make New Clip: This is the default option. Video that’s already been captured before
    the break in timecode is saved as a single media file, with its Out point set to the
    frame occurring immediately before the timecode break. Final Cut Pro then
    automatically continues capturing video after the dropped timecode frame as a
    second media file. When this option is selected, clips captured after timecode breaks
    are named with the original name and the number of the clip. For example, if the
    first captured clip’s name is “Cats Playing,” the second clip’s name is set to “Cats
    Playing-1.”
    This is a good option to choose if you are capturing an entire tape. For example,
    suppose you are capturing the entire contents of a 60-minute tape that has four
    timecode breaks. Instead of restarting the capture every time a timecode break is
    detected, Final Cut Pro captures all media from the tape as five clips, skipping over each
    timecode break and ensuring that the timecode of all captured media is frame-accurate.
    There you have it.

  • How to make PS CC -- not CC2014 -- the default for 'Edit in' in Lr?

    When I installed Ps CC2014 I had problems with it, and so uninstalled it.   I might reinstall it in order to get familiar with it.  But until certain panels have been converted to work in CC2014, CC will remain my 'go to' pixel editor.  With that in mind, I would want Ps CC to remain the default version of Ps when I select 'Edit in' in Lr 5.5.  However during the brief time I had CC 2014 installed, CC2014 replaced CC (which was still installed on my computer) as the version that Lr passed images to when I selected 'Edit in'.  Is there some way that Lr can be 'made' to think CC is the version it should pass files to even if CC2014 is also installed on my computer?
    Thanks for your help.
    Best,
    David

    Quote:
    If CC and CC 2014 are both installed on your computer. CC 2014 will be the default edit-in app, this is as design. You can add CC as additional External Editor, but cannot set it as default one. If you want to make CC as the default one, you need to uninstall CC 2014.
    That's what I was afraid of, hence I have removed CC2014 from my computer.  There are a couple of panels I use which won't work in CC2014, hence I would continue to use CC in any event.  But if both are installed and CC2014 is the default, then to use CC as an external editor, I would have to render the image, who I not?

  • How to make direct DVD-to-DVD copy?

    I'm hoping this is easier than I'm making it. I work for a small theater that films every show in a weekend on 4 camera angles plus a multimedia feed. We record every angle directly to stand-alone DVD recorders (5 DVDs per show).
    I get requests from the directors to view the shows each week, and up till now, i've been dutifully using Disk Utility to make an image file of the DVD to the hard drive, then burn a new blank DVD, but this process takes about 25 minutes for every show, not to mention the disk space, and increased requests are making this too time-consuming.
    *I've got 2 DVD-writable drives; isn't there a way in OSX to directly copy a non-copy-protected DVD directly to another DVD? Wouldn't that be a big thing on the new Mac Pros that have 2 internal Superdrives? I tried doing it in Finder by copying one DVD and pasting it in the blank DVD, but that didn't work.*
    If not, is there software anybody recommends? Nero for the PC does exactly what I want but doesn't come in Mac. I'm not sure if Roxio Toast does it, and I haven't found a demo of anything else that works... (tried Fast DVD Copy, but it won't stop "analyzing media" and "Aimersoft DVD Copy for Mac" doesn't download a file that my mac will open.)
    Thanks for the assistance!
    ~Trav

    So far as I can tell (and the only thing that comes up in Disk Utility Help) is the method which requires an image file to be fully written to the Hard Drive and then burned to a blank DVD. I'm hoping to get that down to one step, DVD-to-DVD...
    Any thoughts? It seems ludicrous to me that OSX would not have this ability natively.

  • How can I revert my audio clips that I have edited in Soundtrack Pro back to the original audio?

    I edited a project in FCP6 and sent numerous audio clips to Soundtrack Pro where I sampled and removed some AC and fridge compressor
    hum from some interview footage.  I'm sending the project out for professional sound mixing and they advised me to restore the original
    audio to prevent the creation of artifacts when they process the sound in a different program. 
    Is there some way to "revert" all my clips that I edited in Soundtrack Pro back to the original audio without going back to
    my original interview footage and cutting in clip by clip?  (Next time I'll save my original audio on a duplicate timeline -- live and learn!)
    Thanks in advance for any helpful ideas!

    What happens if duplicate the sequence, then choose one of them to use "match frame" to get back to the original clips?

  • Premiere Pro CS5 bug editing clip name: 1 second edit time

    When editing the name of a clip in the project window, Premiere forces completion an instant after entering edit mode. This doesn't happen all of the time, but after using the program for a while it starts happening. Restarting the app quites the issue for some time. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Just an example that may help: I have a Wacom tablet, and it started behaving badly in Cinema 4D despite the fact that it had worked perfectly just hours before.  The only thing I had done in between was rip some of my CD collection to FLAC using Exact Audio Copy.  EAC was not open when the C4D pen issue appeared.  I rebooted, and pen operation in C4D returned to normal.  I ripped a CD or two with EAC, and the bad pen behavior in C4D returned.
    I have no idea why EAC should affect pen/tablet behavior in C4D, but it does.  So the issue you see in Pr may well be from unexpected and illogical sources.  Regardless, I hope you get it sorted quickly.
