I am having an issue with video file size increasing after editing in iMovie 11

So I start off my iMovie 11 video project with a .mp4 video file of roughly 900MB.  After chopping off the beginning and ending (which is all I want to do) I have attempted finalizing and exporting using numerous options.  The problem is, each time I do this my file turns into a 3.9GB .mov file!  I don't want a huge file, I don't want a changed format file.  I simply want to cut off the beginning and ending of my movie and leave everything else the same.  Theoretically, this should make the file SMALLER since I am removing footage.  Correct?
As  you can probably tell, I am new to all this.  But can anyone tell me how to keep my .mp4 file extension and simply delete the start and end?
Thanks!

The simple answer is, Don't Use iMovie.
If you want to just trim off pieces you can do that in QuickTime X, which is already installed on your Mac. Open the movie in the QuickTime X player. Now go to the Edit Menu and choose Trim... At the bottom of the window you will see a series of thumbnail images with a yellow highlighted box around it. To cut off the beginng pull in the handle along the left hand side of the yellow box. Same is true for the end grab the yellow handle on the right side and pull it in as well. Then click the Trim button, now you've got just the piece of the video you want to save. Now go to File > Save As... set the Format to be Movie (to keep it in the same file format as it started as.
This avoids all the transcoding/conversion that goes on when you import a video into iMovie.

  • Large file size increase when editing in PS3

    I shoot mostly JPG with most file sizes in the 5MB range. Today I sent 3 files to PS3 for auto alignment and blending to a panorama. When complete, the resulting PSD file back in my Lightroom library is 495MB. When I export the PSD panorama as a JPG for printing a 9" x 36" with 180 dpi the resulting JPG is only 6.1MB. I imported the 6.1MB JPG panorama back into Lightroom for comparison with the 495MB PSD file and they look nearly identical even at 100%. Will someone please explain to me what is happening to cause these remarkable file size changes ? Any reason other than the time it takes not to replace the PSD file in my library with the smaller JPG when finished with the process ?

    jpeg is a lossy compression that uses an algorithm based on human vision research that gets rid of information in the file that we cannot generally really see and compresses color ranges that we are less likely to see changes in (typically reds) more than colors our eyes are very sensitive to (yelow and green). At least when you use a high quality setting. PSD on the other hand, uses a lossless compression algorithm that retains ALL information in an image regardless of whether you should be able to see it or not. Now sometimes you might want to do an edit that for example lifts up shadows. If you started with a jpeg, that information might already be gone, but when you saved as a psd, you might be able to retrieve it as the compression algorithm did not already throw away the information. Another example is subtle gradients in certain colors, such as blues or reds. Say you want to make the color more saturated. You're likely to start seeing banding with the jpeg, while you'll probably get good results with a losslessly compressed file.
    Lastly, the psds Lightroom writes are typically 16 bits, which means again more precision. They can also contain layers such as adjustment layers, which allows you to later go back on your edits. Jpeg cannot do any of these things. It might be alright to store a finalized file as jpeg, but be aware that you'll be limited to what you can do with them if you change your mind. Harddisk space is supercheap nowadays.

  • Issues with Video file types

    I have videos on my computer and it says they are in a divx compression format with mp3 audio. I want to put them on my iPod, but iTunes won't recognise them. Do you know what types of video files can be recognised by iTunes and iPod and is there any way I can convert these videos so they will be recognised?

    From http://support.apple.com/specs/ipodhttp://support.apple.com/specs/ipod:
    H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 640 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
    iTunes doesn't recognize your video files because they are not in a file format and/or encoding scheme which it accepts.
    Use the free MPEG Streamclip application to convert DivX-encoded AVI files into an iPod-acceptable format.
    Hope this helps,

  • Issue with video files

    running Windows 7
    Whenever I import a video file into Photoshop CS6 the audio plays but the playback screen is black. There's also no image in the timeline and no thumbnail present when using bridge or Lightroom 4. Videos will also not play in Lightroom library module (audio ok). Every video I've tried works in Windows media player or QuickTime and the video thumbnail is visible when I use Windows Explorer to look for files.

  • Issue with FrameMaker file size

    In a book, one of the chapter is failing to open and says File is too large to open using available memory and PDF generation stops. I have no imported figures. Actual file size is 98 MB but when I place the file in the book and try to generate TOC file size bloats to 164 MB. I cannot use the Update LOT, LOF and TOC feature as the file fails to open. I need help.

    More information is needed. What specific version of FM, as shown in Help > About, including the "pxxx" numbers. What O/S, service pack.
    How much RAM is on your system. Do you typically use many other applications at the same time, and if so, have you tested to see if the problem clears up immediately after a reboot, before you've opened other applications.
    Could you clarifiy when you say "I have no imported figures" do you mean that you have graphics that are imported by reference, imported by copying, or that you don't use any graphics at all?
    How large is the book, how many chapters, approx how many pages in total? Exact numbers not necessary, just approximations.

  • File size increase after installing LCD ES v8.2.1 (CS3.3)

    Hi,<br /><br />Problem:<br />The file size of a LCD v8.0 form increases significantly when opened + saved in LiveCycle Designer ES v8.2.1.<br /><br />A Dynamic XML form, targeted at Reader 7 & up, build in LiveCycle Designer 8.0.?, has a file size of 75 kB.<br /><br />Our company has upgraded to Creative Suite 3.3, which is shipped with Acrobat Pro 9.0, and, apparently, LiveCycle Designer ES v8.2.1.<br />The installation removes the previous version of LCD.<br /><br />If I just open and save the form in this new LCD, the file size becomes 473 kB.<br />The XML-tab shows some additional rows, in the <config> part, but not enough for 400kB of extra code.<br /><br />Further specs:<br />- Windows XP Pro SP3, fully patched;<br />- Creative Suite 3.3, updated.<br /><br />Anyone a solution, work-around, some info?

    SOLVED!
    Don't embed fonts...
    I was too hasty.
    (did'nt even know you could embed the fonts in LCD)

  • Why are frame sizes increasing after editing with Nik plug-ins?

    I’m using the Nik Collection of plug-ins with Aperture, and have discovered that the frame size of the resulting edits always end up larger than the original - sometimes much larger.
    The original image starts as 4592 x 3448 but after editing, the longest side of the resulting image is typically over 5000, 6000 or even 7000 pixels. 
    I recently worked on a cropped image that started at 4138 x 2759 and ended up at 7361 x 4908, after editing with a combination of Dfine, Viveza, Color Efex + Silver Efex.  If I export a version during the editing process, and then carry out futher editing, the frame size increases again.
    I’m exporting from Aperture using the TIFF - Original Size (16 bit) setting. 
    Can anyone tell me what’s going on here?  I’m concerned that the quality of the images is being compromised by the enlargement. 
    I'm using the latest set of Nik plug-ins, with Aperture 3.2.4 on a MBP running 10.6.8

    Keli
    In order to open Aperture in 32-bit mode by default you can right-click on the application icon, select "Get Info" and check the box marked "Open In 32-bit Mode" (or you can continue to run it by default in 64-bit mode and just get forced to re-open the app anytime you need to use plug-ins that can only run in 32-bit mode).
    hope this helps!

  • Having Compression Issues with Exported File

    I started using FCPX and became a big fan. But recently I have switched back to Premiere because of wierd audio compression that happens when exporting. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix? At first I thought maybe it was me, but I imported the exact same file into both Premiere and FCPX and then exported them both as H.264 files. And low and behold, the FCPX file's audio was compressed and sounded bad, whereas the Premiere file sounded great. I really prefere using FCPX, but I won't until I can find a fix to this. PLEASE someone help! Thank you!

  • File size augments after editing a form? How to reduce size?

    Hello,
    I have been building a form and found that the size of my file grew after I made 'edits' onto (ie:  changing the wording of the original form scanned onto Acrobat Pro X, changing the font colour some letters etc.)
    Question 1:  Is this normal?
    Question 2: How to reduce the size of the file? (I am aware of the option that I could save the pdf into a version that's higher (by selecting anything between 6 to 10) and that would reduce the size of the pdf.
    BUT, I also learned that if the end-user, who will receive my form and fill it in, do not have that particular version that I've saved it to, then s/he could not fill in the form!!
    Is there a solution to my problem? Please help!
    *I am using Acrobat Pro X.

    Thank you all for your responses!
    Yes, I always save my file as PDF.   Just not reduced its size by saving it to a particular version.
    to 'Test Screen Name', there is a misunderstanding on option 2.  I referred to it so that I can save the file into a version like version 8.0 or higher.  But, I understood from earlier discussions in the forum here, that people may still have earlier versions of reader (ie 6.0 or lower?) and so that's why I suggested having a link for download.
    Even with that, I don't know how savvy my end-users may be to download.  I 've had problems where people read my file using Apple and that caused problems.

  • PE 8?  Is anyone having an issue with HD editing?

    This is my second thread.  Sorry if I am being repetitious
    PE8 locks up on me when I try to edit video.  Im using Vista 64 and the application goes white and says (not responding)  I am editing HD m2ts files that are about 3gig.  When I edit a small 100meg file it doesn't lock up.  I have tried every HD setting to for my project and get the exact same result.  Right now I am uninstalling the software, and reinstalling it. 
    Am I able to get help from Adobe? I tried calling yesterday and was on hold for 45 min before I was cut off. 
    Someone tell me what is needed to edit HD video... 
    Here are my PC specs:
    vista 64
    Intel i7 920
    AUSUS P6E Motherboard
    6G ram
    Nvidia Quadro 1800 diver 191
    2 - 500G, 7200rpm Hard Drives
    The video came from my Panasonic HDC-HS300 camcorder.  I got the files by copy and paste.  When I plugged in my camera I treated the camera hard drive like I would any other and located the files and ctrl-c ctrl-v.  The files are m2ts.
    Info about the file from a program called AVIcodec
    File     :  2.75 GB (2.75 GB),  duration: 0:23:25,  type: DSH,  1 audio stream(s),  quality: 98 %
    Video :  2.68 GB,  16445 Kbps,  29.970 fps,  1920*1080 (16:9),   = MainConcept (Adobe2) AVC/H.264
    Audio :  64 MB,  383 Kbps,  48000 Hz,  6 channels,  0x2000 = AC3 DVM

    Just to give a little update...  I have done everything that you guys have told me and have gone through each step of the troubleshoot Freezes... support document.  I then called tech support and spent a good hour on line with them and the support supervisor.  They are not sure what the details are, but they will elevate it to higher powers. 
    Being on the phone with tech support forced me to look close at the problems and I have a few opinions.
    With a small AVCHD (m2ts) file there are no issues. With a 75meg I could immediately begin to edit once the file is set in the sceneline.  With a larger file 300meg I had to wait a min or two and then it worked fine. 
    However with a large file, 2.75g, there are major problems. 
    When the file is in the organizer screen there is a process called conforming and then rendering that takes place. With a very small file this is done quickly, with a med size file this is done in the background.  The problem is with a large file.  Once you move the file from the organizer to the sceneline the process stops and elements 8 locks up.  My next step is to load the clip I want to edit and wait for it to conform and try to edit.  If that doesn’t work I will let it render and try.
    There is an issue with the file size that was not there in premiere elements 7.

  • HT1925 I am having an issue with loading Itunes. I receive a missing dll file notice. Then another error message. I have reinstalled Windows & still get the error. I did not get the error until I recently did an ITunes update.

    I am having an issue with ITunes after a recent ITunes update. I can not open ITunes, I get a message missing MSVCR80.dll file, Then an error 7 message. I have redone the OS for Windows 7 and restarted the computer. I keep getting the errors.

    Do the following:
    Uninstall from Windows the following five programs: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support. You do this from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
    Download the latest version of iTunes from Apple and note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
    Run the iTunes installation as an administrator, just Right click iTunes installer and Run as Administrator.

  • I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

    I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

    I would first of all trash the preference file for InDesign, make sure the application is closed then find the prefs in
    /Users/USER NAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign and just throw the entire folder away, it will generate a new one after you launch InDesign again.
    Now launch InDesign and see if the problems are resolved.
    If not I would repair your permissions on your hard drive wih disk utility, and if that fails then di-install InDesign and re-install that single application.
    Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you
    I will be checking my email although you might have to wait for a response as I will be taking a microlight flight over the Victoria Falls tomorrow. Yay can hardly wait.

    Lindsay,
    Your iBookG4 is still a pretty awesome Mac. Like already said, it has the power to run Leopard, but it depends if you have an internal DVD drive.
    Then I suppose you have to add up the cost of the OS, perhaps another 512MB RAM, iLife 08 and replacements for any favourite apps that you currently use (Leopard breaks a lot of stuff, but Intel breaks even more). Compare it to the cost of a new MacBook, which wil have all of that included and be 3-4x faster too.
    It also depends on what you want to achieve with your iBook. My PMG4 still cuts it today, I still use it in preference to my new Mac Pro, It's about the same age as your iBook, and I'll only stop using it when it becomes "painfully" slow. My 1 year old son currently uses the Mac Pro (parts for a Mac Pro are easier to replace than those for a PMG4).
    I think your choice is simple, if you can a cheap copy of Tiger, use that, it'll get your iPod Touch up and running. It came in DVD and 4 CD version (by request).
    Leopard will work for you too but a lot of the best eye-candy requires quite a meaty graphics card and you may need a RAM upgrade and replacement software - OS9 Classic is not supported in Leopard.
