How to record video for use in IMovie?

Hello. I'm new to MAC & IMovie, and I would appreciate knowing how to capture my video recordings using my USB linked video camera, instead of FaceTime. I would like to record a series of videos, and then import them and edit them in IMovie. Thank you.

Hey videoiq2014!
Here are the instructions for achieving this goal:
iMovie (2013): Record video with the FaceTime HD camera
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH14675
While the title of this article is meant for the FaceTime camera, in step 2, the article instructs you to choose the camera you wish to record with. In this step, you should choose your USB camera. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

Braden

Converting RM files (Real Video) for use in iMovie

Hello,
I'm looking for a program that can help me convert RM (real video) files for use with iMovie.
I have heard that ffmpegX is great to use. I went to their website, downloaded everything and got it up and running...but when I try to convert anything, it doesn't work. I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong?
Any advice? Thanks.

Yes
I found a program but am experiencing lots of trouble with it. I was hoping that others could give me a better suggestion.
I've actually downloaded and installed ffmpeg but the problem I'm experiencing now is that the videos do not convert. The program starts to work and then three seconds later I get the dialog box that says everything has been converted but the file created is 0KB and of course will not open.
Any ideas about what could be going wrong? I've attempted to convert the files to different formats and try converting different files as well. I still have the problem.

How to record video or use screen capture WHILE capturing audio from Logic??

Hi,
I want to record my self playing guitar and singing using my mac book pro built in camera. I want the audio to come from Logic so I can add whatever effects I want to the vocals. When I say audio from Logic I don't mean recording in Logic and adding it in post. I want it to be on the fly.
What I used to do was use the screen capturing program Snapz Pro. I would screen capture a box around photobooth for the video, and then record while having Logic's audio in the background. It screen captures my entire computers audio. So for example if I get an aim message the bleep would show up in the recording. Or if I raise the volume or lower it the little click sound fx would be in it as well.
Capturing the audio this way let me get Logic's audio effects in my video on the fly. It worked out great....until now! :/
I just got the audio interface "Duet 2". And am using a microphone instead of my mbp's built in one. When ever I tried to record and capture my systems audio - my entire computer would crash. Snapz Pro won't work with the system audio with the interface. It works fine without it though.
I then tried to use Quicktime's new movie recording feature. I see it only gives an option for microphone and now system audio. So I got soundflower to re route the audio but that doesn't help either. This is because when you capture this way you can't hear anything while your capturing. So if I were to record a video and wanted Logics audio in it, I would have to set the output to Soundflower first. So when I record I cant hear myself which defeats the purpose.
So my final question is, how can I record video while having Logic's audio? I don't need to record with the mic, because in Logic the mic audio is going thru the system audio with everything else.
I would like to use a process more similiar to Quicktimes straight movie recording instead of doing an odd way like I used to screen capturing a box around the photobooth screen.
Thanks

How to convert MPEG videos for use on iMovie?

I filmed my drama assignment with my friend on her video camera, she gave me all the files on a USB and when I got home to start editing on iMovie, it says: iMovie cannot open files in the “MPEG movie” format.

I forgot to mention in a strange way there is not a straight standard format used by cameras as I discover In iMove and Final Cut Express. Mpeg is pretty standard but can be different. For example AVCHD or AVCHD Lite, Motion Jpeg on Panasonic. Each Camera uses similar names but the compression format maybe different and not compatible with iMovie. This why I like Toast, it converts almost anything to a useable format. But if your starting out the Camera Brand and Model is the key to finding compatibility with iMove. Since I have not used iMove in a while and don't know the new version go to the forum with Camera etc. and ask about compatibility. But Toast with some tries will most likely give you what need. This can be frustrating but you'll get there, it may take a little time. Also open the folder with files to see exactly what you've got. You really need to know exactly what you've got. I hope QuickTime work out for you

... am a mac newbie and...
.. then, you shouldn't stroll around in the outer rims of the iNet, looking for MTR.. , this app is mostly intended for distracting copy protection from commercial dvds...
give that app a try:
DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
legal, handy, very Mac-like in usage... plus a free trial, you can test, how it works for you....
just to mention that:
DVD uses a plyback-format, end-of-the-road, delivery standard.. not meant for further processing.. you will recognize a (dramatic) loss in pic quality..

How do you convert .AVI files for using in iMovie without losing the original clip time and date

Hi everyone! does anyone know how to convert .AVI files for using in iMovie without losing the original clip time and date? Handbrake, MPEG Streamclip and Evon all replace the original timecode with the date of modification. This is very frustrating when you are trying to keep the chronology right. I know that if you upload the files to iMovie from one device the chronology isn't a problem, but I'm adding video files from a couple of iPhones and a couple of camcorders. any help much appeciated.

How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?

I'm seeking a little guidance -
How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?
The aim is to bring together video, design, images and writing in one place. A little like Born Presents, but very accessible and user friendly.
I'm happy using InDesign but want to create interactive articles / magazines that have embeded video files as required. I've been looking at .SWF files but I've come unstuck.
I want people to view the articles via a blog, ideally with them opening in a lightbox style viewer. It's not intended for tablet viewing and people should be able to view and interact with the files with little effort on their part.
I think I know how to create these files within InDesign, but I'm not so hot on web design and I'm not sure how to host these online. Does this start coming into the realms of Flash?
If anyone could point in the right direction I'd really appreciate it - Thank you in advance.

PDF is one thing. Folios for DPS is another. There is a little bit of

Video File Conversions for use in IMOVIE

I have a Sony DCR-DVD100 Camcorder and a Powerbook G4. Video files on the camera cannot be imported into IMOVIE for use and editing. The computer can play the files via a USB connection. The video files include VIDEO_TS.BUP VIDEO_TS.IFO and VIDEO_TS.VOB
Can anybody offer advice or recommendations? Apparently there are downloads which will convert the files for use in IMOVIE but I need some guidance. Thanks.

[HELP] How to records user who use SQLPlus or SQL editor?

Dear Gurus,
Is onyone know how to record user who use SQLplus or any SQL editor?
for instance...
user1 using SQLplus on monday august 9.30.21 PM...and I have table which record this for audit user.
Or..
Can I block user who connect to oracle using SQLPlus?
If anyone know how to do this..please inform me...
Thanks and Regards
Erie

You can enable Auditing (AUDIT_TRAIL) and audit at the Session Level to record Logon and Log off of a required user. This can be enabled to be recorded in the audit table or operation system file. You can also audit user statements etc.
For example, to enable auditing connect for user UGONIC
SQL>audit connect by UGONIC;
TO disable it
SQL>noaudit connect by UGONIC;
Check in the SQL Reference for the AUDIT statement and requirements.
If you do not want the user to connect at all via SQL*Plus, you can use PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE to disable a users access to SQL*Plus or at the lower level, disable specified SQL*Plus and SQL commands for the user. You need to run the PUPBLD.SQL script as system user (if not run yet) and add records to it as required.
Example: After running PUPBLD.SQL. This entry stops the user UGONIC from using the drop command at the backend in SQL*Plus.
INSERT into product_user_profile (product,userid,attribute,char_value,date_value)
values('SQL*Plus','UGONIC','DROP','DISABLED',NULL);
Note that if a user is already connected by the profile entry, it is not activated on that session, but on subsequent logons. Again read the requied security documentations for this.
For both auditing, you need to set the required database intialisation parameters and know where to get the audit records (in tables, views or OS file). For instance, when using tables, you maintain and query tables like audit$ to view the logs. When using OS type logging, it is recorded on the path specified in the AUDIT_FILE_DEST init parameter (In Windows, it is logged in the Windows Event and you can view it from the event viewer).

Converting video for use on Sidekick

Good evening.
This might not be the right place to post this, but here goes...
I have a 24" iMac and would like to convert videos for use on my Sidekick LX 2009. The info on the Sidekick says it will play 3GP or MP4 (simple profile). I been trying to convert using VisualHub and HandBrake but to no luck. Any suggestions on how I can do a conversion, or what settings I need in these programs, or some other program to use?
Thanks for the help.

Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information on this issue is available in this article.
