How to merge video clips?

I have a video that is broken into two files (the memory card had a 4gb file limit so it has two files under that size). I imported the two of them into FCPX no problem but I want to treat the both of them as one clip in the event browser. Is there a way to do this?

... ehm? you can select two clips and hit F = both marked.
or, if you want to mark just parts of both clips, in-to-end clip#1, begin-to-out on clip#2 ...
ok, this is two clicks, instead of one ... big thing
I would avoid compounds as much as possible.
And esp.just for organizing, the 'data base tool' FCPX offers with its tags, keywords, favorites, meta-info, search filters, smart collections etc etc etc MUCH more 'powerful' tools than just bins of single solid clips.
…Not meant as a personal offence, but I really recommend to get familiar with the NEW way, how FCPX handles 'sources'… just for organizing, compounds is really the wrong turn.... my 5¢.-
No I can't mark from one clip into another because they have different time stamps. I guess the camera marks the clips based on the start time. And there are clips in between these two clips.
Why is there no way to join clips?

Nope, that's still one for another program at the moment.
As it may not make the final release, might I suggest adding it as a suggestion on the Feature Request forum http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family where it can easily be tracked? If you post the link to your request here, others can also vote on your request.

How-to add video clip to presentation?

How do I add a video clip to a Keynote '08 presentation? i drag and drop it and only get a black square on the page. Even though it's only a small square, when I view it in full screen mode the whole screen is black.
How do I add a video clip?

Well, it worked for me. I, however, used the Media browser. I don't know if you just grab a file from Finder and drop it in there. Although it should work, but I don't know why it doesn't. Also, what kind of file is it. Keynote supports a lot of video files but not every kind that exist. For me, I dropped a video that I made with friends from iMovie so its a QuickTime file. And I use the Media browser. Then I placed it at the centre. Then I pressed optionP to play the slideshow.

How to combine video clips into one video clip using FCPX

I typed this into the search engine but could not come up with anything. How do you combine Video clips into one Video clip using FCPX? Thanks in advance.
Gar

The simple answer is to put the clips together in a project in the desired order and export (oops, the new word is share [YUK!]) a master file.
But maybe you should say a little more about the clips to determine whether the answer I've given is relevant to yor situation.

How to archive video clips to bluray

Just curious, is there a way to archive video clips from HDV and AVCHD camcorder onto bluray disc for long term storage/archival process?
My reasons:
1. HDV is being phase out, so in the future, even if minDV is a good long term archival media but I may not be able to retrieve clips when all HDV camcorders have bee phased out - say 5 to 10 years from now.
2. AVCHD, in trying to reuse my HCSD cards for other projects, and also save disc spaces on my external hard drive AND avoid data loss due to hard drive crahses, I would like to be able to off load video clips I have in my SD cards onto bluray for future editing, can this be done easily or must I use fcp X to import them onto a Mac then somehow (I don't know how) export them onto a bluray disc then reimport them back into Mac for editing in some future time.
thanks.

Long term? No one knows. But yes, you can make a camera archive, occupy it onto the disc, and burn a data DVD or Blu-ray disc assuming they have enough space.

How to keep video clips separate in sceneline?

I have just started using Premiere Elements 7 which came bundled with my new laptop with Windows 7 64-bit. I have successfully put video clips into the Organizer. I want to move several clips into sceneline, and add transition effects between them. These are AVCHD movies that are stored on my hard drive (.mts files). I drag the first clip into the first box in Sceneline, then a new box opens to the right. I drag a second clip to it, and it just appends to the back of teh first clip in the first box. It doesn't matter how many clips I try to add, I end up with them all appended together in the first box. I can't edit them, can't add transition effects, can't delete just one clip. I have also tried this with MPEG movies I have previously taken and stored on my hard drive.
I have read the help files, and bought two books on Premiere Elements, and this is not acting like anything I see in the instructions. Is there a setting I should be looking for to allow the video clips to show up individually in boxes so that I can move them around, insert clips, delete clips, etc?
Marguerite

Thanks Hunt. I found
the correct pre-set. I can see this will have a bit of a learning curve, but I'm on my way!

How to view video clips on FaceBook?

FaceBook tells me I must download Flash Player to view video clips. Is Flash Player safe on a Mac?
I have researched this question in these Apple Support forums. I have searched the App Store and the Web. I found some good reports, some dire warnings about installing non-Apple apps, but nothing conclusive.
Please advise.

Adobe Flash Player Software is actually a plug-in and not an actual "player" or "application." With this plug-in you will be able to view flash videos on Quicktime (with help from Perian) and VLC. I believe Flip4Mac also.
After the installation, make sure you repair permissions and restart your computer prior to usage.

Merging video clip separated into two clips in camera

Working with a Canon 5D mk3 and a single clip was separated into two clips by the camera. Trying to merge them back into a single clip so that I can then merge into a multiclip arrangment with footage from second camera and off camera audio. Have followed the following process from support:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=29%2 6section=4%26tasks=true
When dragging the selection back into the Browser, a single file is not created but rather the two separate files.
Suggestions?
Thank you.

The only way for FCP to stitch separate shots is if it is shot in a format that is supported by the Log and Transfer function, and if the camera is designed to merge the clips into one shot via the metadata. For example, P2 breaks up the footage into 4GB chunks, due to the P2 card format's 4GB file size limit. AVCHD will do the same thing, as will XDCAM. But the metadata recorded by the camera informs the NLE that they are essentially one clip, so when you convert via Log and Transfer, FCP (And Avid, and Adobe) will stitch them together.
But this only works with supported formats. H.264 from DSLRs...not supported...by any NLE. Even though you can L&T Canon 5D Mark 2 footage (Mark 3 is unsupported, as it is a newer camera, and FCP was discontinued before it came out), it still keeps the media separate. Sorry...that's the drawback to shooting DSLRs. The ones that shoot AVCHD...will be stitched, because they have advanced metadata support.
FCP-X will multiclip these separate files, however. Because it doesn't have issue with broken clips. It's the best multicam function of any NLE.

Merging video clips -- join through edit

I was trying to solidify a video that is composed of numerous smaller parts by using the "Join through edit" feature. I am able to do it from time to time, but generally it is grayed out. Does this have anything to do with the way that the files are accessed, or the nature of the video itself?
Not sure why I can do it sometimes and not others. Working with 20 short clips was fine when I wanted to edit them one by one, but now that I'm done I wanted to merge them into a single longer clip.

Are you sure you want to "join through edit"? Perhaps you are wanting to nest your clips?
A through edit is an edit added to a continuous piece of media. By default, FCP will display red triangles on either side of the edit. When you select the edit point (not the clip), you can select "join through edit" (KB shortcut = delete). If the option does not show up (is grayed out), then the two adjoining clips are not part of continuous timecode within the same master clip.
But it sounds like you want to create one long "clip" in your timeline from all the little clips. Select all the clips you want to include and Sequence -> Nest Items (shortcut = opt-C)

How to transfer video clips to a computer running a Windows operating system.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Turn on the computer.
While the camera power is off, connect it to the computer using the supplied USB cable.
Make sure the camera is using a fully charged battery pack or connected to an optional AC power adapter and that it is plugged into a working electrical outlet.
NOTE: Avoid using a battery pack with little remaining charge because transferring may fail or image data might be corrupted if the battery pack shuts down too soon.
Make sure media with the recorded video is inserted in the camera.
Turn on the camera.
NOTES:
On the LCD screen, a USB indicator will display during and after the communication session.
If this is the first time the camera has been connected to the computer, the computer should automatically install the appropriate USB driver at this time.
Transfer the pictures or videos to the computer using one of the following methods:
Use the Import pictures and videos option.
In the AutoPlay window, click Import Pictures and videos using Windows.
In the Import Pictures and Videos window, click Import Settings.
In the Import Settings window, click the Browsebutton.
Click to select the location on the computer where you want to copy the movie files (for example My Videos).
Click the OK button.
In the Import Pictures and Videos dialog box, click the OK button.
Click the Import button.
Use Picture Motion Browser (PMB) software
Using PMB version 4.3 or older
Using PMB version 5.0 or later
Copy and paste the video files from the Removable Disk window that represents the camera.
Open the My Computer or Computer window on the computer.
In the My Computer or Computer window, double-click the icon that represents the camera.
Click to select the appropriate camera folder that contains the video or picture files you want to transfer.
The DCIMfolder (if available) contains still picture .JPG, or .ARW files and .AVI video files.
The MP_ROOTfolder (if available) contains standard and high-definition .MP4 video files.
The AVCHD folder (if available) contains high-definition .MTS video files.
NOTE: Depending on your camera and the type of footage recorded, not all the files or folders above may be displayed.
On the computer keyboard, press CTRL+C to copy the camera folder and its contents.
Browse to the location on the computer where you want to copy the picture or video files, such as the My Pictures or My Videos folder.
Press CTRL+V to paste the camera folder and its contents into the computer folder you selected in the above step.
NOTES:
Movie player software must support the MPEG-4 format to playback standard or high definition .MP4 recordings.
Movie player software must support the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format to playback high-definition .MTS recordings.
Refer to the developer of your movie player software for information about file format compatibility.
For the video to be viewable in the PMB software, the folder where the videos or pictures were saved must first be registered in the software. Information about how to register folders is available in the PMB Guide in the Help section of the software.
