I belive I have fixed the video clip pan updating problom in iMovie hd.

I belive I have fixed the video clip pan updating problom in iMovie hd. I have been using my VCR with my Director's Cut 2 video converter with my iMac G5. To convert my VHS home movies to DVD. The problom I had been having is when I captuerd the video to my Mac is when I go back to play it back. I would click on a video clip and it would tell me it had to update the file and then I could play the clip. That drove me nuts. So first I went to the Apple store and I got the new iLife 6. So then I come home and update everything with it. Then I test it again same thing happens to me. Well to say the lest I was lived mad. Till I thought of something let me try one more thing. So I went for brocke. I hooked up my mindv camcorder and my VCR though the pass though A/V pass though conector and then I hook the cam up to my Mac. So I go to record bingo. I hit the clip and it did not have to update then I made more and more and bingo I think I fixed it nock on wood. But I also ordered a Canopus 110 video converter to see if. I can get it to work were I do not have to use my mindv cam to do the convertion all the time and ware it out. Some how my DC2 was making the video clip it took into a difrent formate some how go figuer.

You might hit it lucky as there's a free conversion program called MPEG Streamclip <This Link is a direct download>. You can download it and drag one of your clips into the App Window then Export it to .mov (In the window that pops up there's a pulldown list and you should Choose Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC).
Do you know what format the videos are in? Do they have a 3 letter file extension like .mpg, or .mts or .m2ts or anything like that?

  • Have accidentally deleted video clips and now an iMovie project won't play (did initially after deletion but no longer). Is there any way to rectify this? I have a very upset daughter as the video was her holiday memories....

    I have deleted the video clips used to make an iMovie project as I thought the bits usedt were saved as part of the iMovie project. Initially the project still played post deletion. However it is no longer working as it says it can't find the video clips. Is this rescuable?
    I have a very upset daughter as project took her 2 days and was her holiday memories....
    Any help gratefully received

    There's no harm in looking inside the Trash folder.
    When a file or folder is deleted, it is moved into the Trash folder to give you a chance to recover it if it was deleted by mistake. Of course that means Trash folder could grow large as time goes and more files are deleted.
    You can recover your movies if they are still in the trash.
    You should also empty the trash if you think you don't need the files in it to free up disk space.

  • I have a HD video clip (MPEG 4), able to watch in VLC in my Mac-book-pro, but not in Quicktime player and FCP X - just seen as full green. Help please to view in FCP X by changing the format or what ever thats required.

    I have a HD video clip (MPEG 4), able to watch in VLC in my Mac-book-pro, but not in Quicktime player and FCP X - just seen as full green. Help please to view in FCP X by changing the format or what ever thats required.  Thank you.

    Thanks for your reply. This video was recorded by my own professional camera, Sony PMW EX 3, two years back. But I am neither a professional cameraman nor an editor. I am just like a beginner in both.  I didnt have space in my storage device, so I just copied all my clips, thinking I can edit it latter, without recompressing or editing or whatever I should have done it at that point of time.  Now I need to edit it and use it in my profession. I am very upset.  Please help me in going step by step to get it in FCP X for editing.  Also I would like to know, do I need to buy the Compressor 4 for any reason. I dont mind in buying, if you think it is going to be useful for some reason.  Thank you very much in anticipation for any kind of proper guidance.

  • HT5731 I forgot about slow download speed's negative effects... hence (I think) the videos I downloaded stop in the middle. I have a better download speed if I connect directly to LAN.  Is there anyway for me to fix the videos previously purchased?

    I forgot about slow download speed's negative effects... hence (I think) the videos I downloaded stop in the middle. I can get a better download speed if I connect directly to LAN.  Is there anyway for me to fix the videos previously purchased or re download them without having to re purchase them?  I'm attempting to play the video's directly from iTune "purchased" folder on my Win7 Home Premium PC.

    Never mind.. I found instructions on how to re download purchased items.  I only need help downloading 2 more items.  I love the attention I've recieeved (I guess silly questions go unoticed... sigh)

  • Imovie 11: When moving clips from event to project, the top of the video clip is cut off.

    I'm working with a new project. When I add clips from an event to the project window, the top of the video clip is cut off.  Quite a bit of it is cut off.  It happens on every clip.  The aspect ratio is correct and I've set the video to fit in frame.  How can I fix this?  I would really appreciate any help.

    You may have stabilization turned on in the project. On one of the clips, click on the small gear icon at the start of the clip and select Clip Adjustments. In the Inspector that opens, uncheck the box "Smooth Clip Motion" against Stabilization. If this fixes it for you, do the same for the other clips.
    Also, it's a good idea to turn off certain preferences in iMovie>Preferences (an iMovie menu item). In the Browser tab uncheck the boxes for both "Automatically stabilize clips that have been analyzed" and "Apply rolling shutter correction for clips that have been analyzed". See this picture:
    The stabilization process causes a zoomed in effect on the video, as it has to "average" the pixels in order to smooth any shaky motion. You therefore lose a certain amount of the picture, depending on the extent of stabilization applied. Here's what iMovie Help states (in part) about this process:
    "iMovie stabilizes video by analyzing the camera motion in the video and then moving the picture the opposite way to steady it onscreen. In this process, iMovie zooms in on the picture slightly. The amount of unstable motion in the clip determines how much zooming is necessary.
    Zooming in crops out some of the picture, but you can fine-tune the level of stabilization to strike the right balance between keeping the video steady and retaining as much of the picture as possible."

  • Did Apple fix the video quality issue in iMovie '09?

    I am a casual video editor and iMovie 08 had the perfect user experience / functionality for what I want to do.
    However, the known video quality issue (throwing away interlaced scan lines) made the result unacceptable since I archive our family video on DVDs. I have been forced to use iMovie HD for that reason. I have tried tricks such as converting the original DV files to AIF and deinterlace prior to import into iMovie08 but that did not seem to work either.
    So does anyone know if Apple fixed the video quality issue in iMovie '09.
    MESSAGE TO APPLE IF YOU ARE LISTENING:
    Please fix the video quality in iMovie09 if not already. Yes, the quality is ok for YouTube or Internet video but for those of us who want simple editing to archive our family video we cannot accept poor video quality. Dropping an interlace field effectively halves the vertical resolution. Thank you.

    Please explain this in more detail when you say Adaptive Deinterlacer. Are you talking about another program? If so, what program and what are the specific steps.
    Also, sounds like you are recommending imovie09. By saying to do the above, are you saying imovie09 still causes you too loose significant quality like imovie08? Are you saying you can use imovie08 or imovie09 with these steps to get high quality video or just imovie09? I guess I just need more specifics on how you do what you are describing and how imovie09 fits into this versus imovie08. I joined this whole discussion trying to figure out if upgrading imovie09 made a difference regarding the whole quality issue. I know it has more features, but I am more concerned about he quality of the video right now. Thanks.

  • Playhead info for imported video clips is static/constant in iMovie 9 as I scroll over the clips. Is it possible to make it display correct info?

    HI, I have been importing videos clips from a SD card to iMovie 09. These clips are analyzed for animal behavior and the timing information for a specific event is critical for proper analyses. Most of the times, the imported clips display correct timing information for a given frame as I scroll over the clips. However, sometimes, some clips show a static or constant timestamp for all the frames in a clip and the timing information doesn't change in the playhead as I scroll over different frames.
    For such clips, I was wondering if it's possible to display correct timing information for the frames, and how? Since I only need frame timing info relative to the starting point, I am open to a solution that involves readjusting starting timestamp.
    Thank you so much for your time and help.

    Several ways to do this.
    I would scrub to the in point of the audio you want to change, then drag all the way back to the beginning of the clip. Then EDIT/SPLIT CLIP or right-click/Split Clip. Then go to the out point of the audio clip and drag to the right to the end of the clip. Then Edit/Split Clip. The clip in the middle should have your 25 minutes of audio.
    Another way: Use Comment Markers
    See this Tutorial from Ken Stone.

    If neither of those work for you, tell me more about what you are trying to do.

  • Why is the Video clip jumpy?

    Why is the Video clip jumpy? I have just installed Premiere Elements 12 in a brand new computer:
    Acer Aspire V5
    CPU AMD Dual Core Processor a-4 APU with Radeon (TM HD Graphics 1.0 GHz)
    4GB DDR3 memory
    500 GB HDD
    Windows 8.1
    The file types are AVI, AVCHD, and MOV files

    northgal
    Lots of ways to go on this. But, I think starting with a definition of the source media and how you are setting up the project is going to be the path to success. So, we need to zero in on questions/answers related to what I wrote earlier
    The properties of the source media need expanding up beyond "file types are AVI, AVCHD, and MOV.
    a. What are the video and audio compression of the files with the .avi file extension and what is the frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio?
    b. What is the file extension for the file with the AVCHD video compression. Again, what is the frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio?
    c. What are the video and audio compression of the files with the .mov file extension and what is the frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio?
    You asked how to go about that. The best way is to run each of the file types through a video properties read out program such as MediaInfo
    http://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo
    Latest versions of that MediaInfo have been problematic in that you need to be on guard for any unwanted toolbars and installed "extra" programs (bloatware).
    OR
    We would not necessarily get more information, but we would get enough to put us in a good position, if we run the types through gspot utility (good for codec and basic information)...less bloatware concerns
    http://www.headbands.com/gspot/
    The dialog that you would get from gspot would look like
    Once we know the video and audio codecs, frame size, frames rates, interlaced or progressive frame rates, etc. that we are dealing with, we on a good course to set up the project settings to match those properties, independant of whatever export choices we have in mind. That we will address later after a successful import and edit.
    OR
    A third choice for getting at this information is less productive but can be a good last resort...knowing the brand/model/recording settings of the camera from which these files came.
    Please review and then let us know if you can gather the file properties information details requested.
    We will be watching for your results.
    Thank you.

  • How do I import video clips from iPhoto if it doesn't recognize the video clips in iMoive

    I'm trying to make a movie using iMovie and I recorded some clips using a Sony Digital Camera and iMovie won't let me upload the video clips from iPhoto. I try to import them but when i try to click on the file, it won't let me. Like its not bold like other files (It will let me upload video that were taken with my iPhone) I have iMovie 09.
    What do I need to do?
    Thanks!
    Ayca

    Do you plan to put each video clip in iDVD to be playes separately?  If so then here's how:
    1 - open iDVD and select your theme. 
    2 - click on the Media button at the bottom right and then on the Photo button at the top.
    3 - in the search window type in ".mov" (or the extension of the video clips you plan to use).
    4 - all of the video clips with the extension you entered will be displayed and you can drag them into the menu area at the left. 
    Another way would be to put all of the video clips in an Album and click on that album to view and drag the clips:
    Remember, the order that they are added to the menu will be the order that the buttons will highlight when you scroll thru the buttons with a DVD player remote.
    This will give you a menu with a separate button for each video clip (up to 12 in a menu with some themes).
    If you want to play all of the clips one after another you could create a slideshow in iDVD with the "+" button at the bottom and drag the video clips into the slideshow as you would still photos.  Set the slide duration to anything but manual and don't apply any transition.
    That will let you play all of the clips sequentially.

    You are probably going to have to use a video converter on your PC. You might like to look at this:

  • On iMovie how can you mute a section of the sound track so you can hear the audio from the video clip?

    .

    Hey,
    If you double-click on the soundtrack you can open it up in the inspector tab and lower the soundtrack so that you can hear the audio from the video clip.
    A great resource for finding answers to questions like this is http://www.imovietutorialhelp.com
    You can ask questions just like these and they will be answered for you. If you need a tutorial video made or anything like that, you can go there as well and ask for a video to made as well. Check it out.

  • I added background music to the video clip, but I only hear noise, no video clip audio or the background music audio

    I added background music to the video clip in iMovie, the playback runs ok on the right corner preview screen, if I share it to movie clip or itunes or theather, I only hear noise, no video clip audio or the music audio
    If I don't put additional audio to the clip. audio effect or music background, the video plays normally
    I detached the audio from the video clip and deleted it, that way it was possible to listen to the music background and see the actual video clip, but no audio from the video clip.
    How can I have both?

    Hi
    My first thought is -
    Where are the original Audio file ?
    If it was on an Audio-CD then the CD is Ejected and one tries to play the movie - it can not find it = Silence.
    You are using an Non-Destructive Video editor - meaning that You have raw material - Video, Audio and photos but no Movie in Project - only a text document directing How You want it to be played. So if Audio is not where it was when this document were created - iMovie can not find it and e.g. audio goes silent.
    Yours thinking - Bengt W

  • Why the video clip will automatically "zoom in"?

    I do not make any changes on the video clip, but when I drag the video to the channel, the video is zoom in. However when I drag it to working panel( is it the name of it? the top left area... ), it look normal.
    Why this is happen? How can I solve this problem?

    Harm, you crack me up!
    For the OP, it sounds like the footage you have is too big for the size of project you set up in Premier. the two have to match.
    The SOURCE MONITOR (top left) resizes itself to fit whatever footage you happen to be looking at. It always "fits".
    The PROGRAM MONITOR (top right) show the footage exactly how it relates to the project size. If, for instance, you put SD footage into an HD project, the footage would seem to small for the frame.
    Hope this helps.
