How to split a "project" (movie) into two separate projects.

After converting two Hi-eight tapes into digital format for use with iMovie 10.0.3 (?), I created a movie called "Japan 1994" , complete with titles, imported still photos, etc. But it was over 2 hours long. (My wife considers any movie longer than 29 minutes 59 seconds as cruel and unusual punishment under the U.S. constitution). So I went to Imovie "Help" .....Hah!!!, surfed the web with my problem, with further frustration. So, I devised my own method:
  1. Created two new (empty) movies, "Nihon 1" and "Nihon 2" (Nihon=Japan, in Japanese)
2. In  "Japan 1994", found a convenient break point rougly half way through, shift selected several clips up to the half way point.
3. copied all of these at one time (command C)
4. Opened "Nihon 1" and pasted (command V) these clips into this project.
5. Repeated steps 2, 3, 4 for the second "half" (into "Nihon 2")
All of this produced two separate projects of around 1 hour each. Added appropriate titles at the beggining and end of each of the new movies.
Worked like a charm.
Hope this helps other users of iMoive 10. (whatever).

I have a sandwich. I have been searching how to split the sandwich but it seems you don't split a sandwich. Someone said look in a draw for a tool or something!
Wow.
There are lots of ways to do what you're asking besides what has been said. You can double click the clip in the Browser. Set In & Out points in the viewer and add the Clip to the sequence. No need to split or cut anything in the sequence.
You really need to learn a bit more before you continue cause this is a pre-noob question. I don't really know how to categorise it.

  • How do I make one song into two separate songs?

    I have a song on my iTunes that I want to to split into two different songs, each with different names, and that can be played right after each other in the album. Is there an easy way to split up this song into two different parts, and if so, how? Thanks!

  • How to split the AP invoice into two invoices

    Dear All..,
    Can you tell how can i split the AP vendor invoice which i was posted erlier..i want spil the invoice into two invoices to pay the partial payment to some amount..
    For ex : i have poste one invoice with 50000/- rs..and now i want to split this doc into two like 30000 and 20000, and i want to made the payment for through APP for 30000..
    Can you tell me the step how to do this..
    Advanced thanks
    Bhargav

    If you reverse the original vendor invoice ( credit memo), you can create a new vendor invoice by splitting the amounts with different payment methods. This way APP will pick up only required amount.
    Amount split in vendor invoice can be done by activating "Enable amount split" in OBY6 configuration. This will give you an additional tab "Amount split" in vendor invoice.
    Hope this helps

  • Splitting a family plan into two separate plans.

    My ex-boyfriend and I have been sharing a family plan and would like to switch to two separate plans.  I am the primary line on the account.  Can we split our plans at any time or should we wait until both phones are up for the New Every 2?
    Also, my line is eligible for a discounted upgrade right now.  I would like to purchase my new phone online to take advantage of the online discount.  Should I upgrade my phone before we go to split our lines?
    Thank you,
    Rachel

    You can split at any time, and it will not impact the contract end date on either line.  Your boyfriend may need to pay a deposit to take over the line.  The process is called an Assumption of Liability, and you can do it over the phone with both parties present, or in a store.
    If your phone is eligible for an upgrade now, you should do it before the switch, because when you move to an individual plan, if it is of a lower value than your current family plan, your eligibility may change.

  • How to edit a large movie into smaller, separate movies?

    .: Hello. This question is so basic I'm embarrassed to ask it, but I am stuck. I am a new user to iMovie 6, and bought and am reading David Pogue's iMovie 6 & iDVD The Missing Manual, but can't seem to find an answer to what must be the most basic editing task. I have a couple of 40-50 minute movie clips made with a Flip Ultra. I imported one into iMovie 6, and it took about 25 minutes to do so, and appears as a DV-NTSC clip. The movie is 42:21:10, and is of a concert. I want to extract the video of the performance of each individual song, and create a series of smaller movies, each one featuring one song.
    I cannot for the life of me determine how to do this. I'm deep inside Chapter 5 of David's book, where he discusses trimming, cropping, splitting, etc., but I can't figure out how to save a cropped clip so that it can be made into a new movie. I am near tears at this point. This MUST be the easiest, simplest thing to do in iMovie, and I can't get past the starting gate.
    If anyone can help me with some pointers and advice, I'll be very grateful.
    Thank you and kind regards.

    Open a new movie project side by side with the initial one, and drag the cropped clip into it.

  • Can you split an iTunes account into two separate iTunes accounts?

    My son and I have shared my iTunes account since he was in junior high. We have both added to it over the years, amassing a huge library.  My son has now left home and joined the military.  At this point we want separate accounts - so we can pay separately for our purchases, back up to our own Clouds, etc.  Can he take his purchased music from my library and move it to his own, new account?  This would leave me with only the music I have purchased, which is fine with me.  The library is currently on both of our computers.

    You can't split accounts nor transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.
    For new purchases he can have his own account, and he can have that and your shared existing account authorised on the computer's iTunes that he uses (Store > Authorise This Computer menu option).
    If he uses iTunes Match, automatic downloads or redownloads an account's past purchases then he may tie that computer (or iOS device) to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - so he wouldn't be able to do any of those three things on a different account until the 90 days have completed.

  • How to split a PE1 project into two smaller projects?

    I have a 1hr 36 min. project in PE1.  I want to split it into two different projects of about 48 min. each and burn two DVDs.  My intent is to get a better MPEG resolution for these smaller projects.
    Can I select half of the timeline, cut it and paste it into a new project?  Would the effects be preserved?  I have a week of work invested in this project and I don’t want to screw it up!
    Thanks
    Fred J.

    FredJ,
    Welcome to the forum.
    I agree with both Neale and Steve, though it might at first appear that they are saying two different things.
    The bit-rate in the Transcoding to MPEG-2 will be determined by the Duration of the Timeline and the capacity of the blank media, whether DVD-5, or DVD-9. In most versions of PrE, this bit-rate will be a function of the Quality Slider, but the ultimate bit-rate for the combined video and audio is set in the DVD-specs. One cannot exceed about 8 b/s.
    Now, with your Duration, there might be a very slight increase in the bit-rate, were you to take Neale's advice and break your Project into two parts, however, I think that his advice to study the result of your entire Timeline is good, as I doubt that one could tell the differences, unless you have a great deal of fast motion, of either the camera, or the subject, and then it's likely that the quality would appear to be the same to the human eye.
    Steve is correct in that the result will have to be within the DVD-specs, and will only be 720x480, at up to that max. bit-rate. That is as good as it gets.
    For the ultimate test, I would take Neale's suggestion on Burning to Folder one step further. Once that is done, you can first test your Project with a DVD software program on your computer. BUT, be aware that you are viewing on a higher-rez, progressive computer monitor, and its rez will exceed that of a TV and that of a DVD-Video disc. Thus, it is not a perfect test. To get an idea of how the DVD will look on a set-top player, hooked to a TV, you can either, also burn to a DVD RW (rewritable disc) to test on a set-top player, or you can use the free burning utility, ImgBurn, to burn to a DVD RW and test. The reason for the Rewritable media is so that you can reuse it for testing. You will NOT be using this disc for delivery, but just for testing. Now, if you feel that very slight decrease in bit-rate is noticed, you can go back to his suggestion on how to split the Project, and then produce a multi-disc. set for the Project.
    Also, the ultimate quality and also playability of the DVD-Video will be enhanced if you use quality blank media. I strongly recommend Verbatim, or Taiyo Yuden blank media. Brands like Memorex, TDK, recent Ritek and ALL "store-brands," are to be avoided. One is also best served by buying slower speed media, as PrE will measure the speed of the media and the speed of the drive and try to get you the fastest possible burn. It does not allow you to set the speed of the burn manually. Most people feel that stepping down from a max. burn speed produces a better DVD. I routinely will drop the burn speed (in other software) to about 1/2 of the max., and have had thousands of perfect DVD's. One can set the burn speed in the above mentioned ImgBurn utility.
    To distill the above: try it and see if your Project isn't perfect now, and if not, then break it apart into two segments. I doubt that you could tell the difference.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done?

    How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC. 

    No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either.  It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected.  VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB.  All of which cannot be opened or selected.
    Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC.  Is that the same?  Thank you for your time and response.

  • How to download a DVD movie into Premiere Elements 12 using my MacBook Pro so I can edit the video?

    How to download a DVD movie into Premiere Elements 12 using my MacBook Pro so I can edit the video?

    Bob Perez
    Please review and consider the following which works for me in Premiere Elements 12 Window 64 bit.
    From what you wrote, I suspect that you have DVD-VIDEO widescreen on DVD disc. For now I will assume that you are working in a NTSC setup.
    Premiere Elements DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc is characterized as interlaced video with field order lower (bottom) field first. I am not sure how your DVD-VIDEO on DVD was produced - upper (top) field first or lower (bottom) field first. We may have to apply Field Option Reverse Field Dominance at the Timeline level, but for now let us put that aside for a later time.
    Insert your DVD disc in the DVD burner tray.
    Open Premiere Elements to the Expert workspace and set the project preset manually for NTSC DV Widescreen. How to details for manual project preset setting are found
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
    Then, Add Media/DVD camera or Computer Drive/Video Importer.
    The video files from the DVD-VIDEO will be the larger size files and will probably start with VTS_01_1.VOB.
    In the Video Importer designate the save location for video file VOB(s) and select Add to Timeline and hit Get Media
    to put the files on the Timeline for editing.
    If you have more than one DVD disc to "rip", please set up the Video Importer Save In location so that the save in location has a folder for each disc. The fact that all DVDs have the same VTS_01_1.VOB name etc will cause problems if you saved all to the same place as individual files.
    Determine how that works for you in your Mac computer environment. We will be watching for your progress.
    Others may tell you that you need to convert the VOB to another format before import into Premiere Elements. That is no necessary for Premiere Elements.
    Thank you.

  • How to split an A3 page to two A4 pages?

    Hello,
    I need to scan an A4 booklet to upload, but I cannot cut it in order to have a bunch of pages to scan.
    Therefore I'm scanning it spread on a fladbed scanner, resulting in a series of A3 spreads.
    How can I split these A3 pages into two A4 pages each, preferrably in batch mode, so as not to repeat this work? Using the crop tool is too slow.
    Thanks.

    This requires I do at least 3 actions per page, and with a few dozen to a few hundred pages to do, it's way too slow, not to mention the fact that doing each by hand will probably cause the crops to be uneven.
    Is there any way to automate it?
    Thanks anyway,

    i have a movie with mkv file playable on vlc how can i convert the movie into 2d

    There are now a bunch of them out there. Do a Google search for "mac 3D conversion" They tend to be around $35. I have been using iSkysoft products, which have been fairly easy to use. They have a "iMedia Converter Deluxe for Mac" that besides the 3D to 2D conversion, will also convert video to 70+ formats, has a 1-Click Video Downloader, and a single click Rip DVD and Burn to DVDs feature. Also claims to be "Ultrafast" all for the same price others apps are that only do the conversion.

  • How to import DVD-R movie into Keynote?

    I just transferred a video (with audio) from a VHS tape to a DVD-R, using a stand-alone DVD Recorder. Now I need to import this into Keynote. I've tried opening/playing the DVD with iMovie iDVD, and Quicktime but they will not recognize it as a readable file. The only application that I have that even will play the disc is DVD Player.
    Any suggestions how I can get this movie into my Keynote presentation will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    as log as there aren't copyright issues aren't a problem, something like Handbrake should work to convert the file to something keynote can read.

  • Split one salesorder item into two items in delivery

    We want to split one salesorder item into two different items in the same delivery.
    This is because we will pick the material from two different storage locations.

    Hi,
    We are not using batch management.
    I have looked into the foreign trade/customs standard functionality in SAP, but I can not see that them difference in stock in SAP what is duty paid or not.
    We need to have documentation in the system for the custom goverement for what stock is duty paid and not.
    For the same material we can have stock which are duty paid and not duty paid. This is decided when we do the goods receipt.
    For stock coming from Asia, it is profitable to have this on not duty paid stock since we are exporting it back to Europe and Asia later.
    We will send import and export EDI messages to a third party custom application handling all the papers with the custom goverement.
    The only we need to make track on in SAP is the stock for what is duty paid and not.
    In some situations we need to take stock from both duty paid stock and not duty paid stock when we deliver the same material to a customer. Therefor I asked the question of splitting one delivery item into two items.
    Best regards,
    Terje
