IMovie 08: Can I just trim clip and export without encoding?

I already have an encoded clip, no need to do so again. What I need to do is edit it and then exported the edited video. Is there way to do a clean export with no encoding?

Well basically I'm just trying to figure out a way to lose as little quality as possible. I guess that I could re-encode. Basically I encoded this video as it came into the computer and I need to edit it. I have got around this in Quicktime by just using the trim feature but this video has many more cuts than just one. I'm trying to get it to AVI or MP4, any suggestions on settings that won't severely compress the video?

    Select the compound clip and do Clip->Break Apart Clip Items (or Cmd-Shift-G).

    Always backup your important data before upgrading to a new Mac OS X.
    Lion doesn't erase the drive but better to be safe than sorry.
    And run Disk Utility  (Applications/Utilities). Verify and if necessary repair the startup disk before upgrading.

  • Can i sync my iPad and iPhone without hooking it up to a computer

    can i sync my ipad and iphone without hooking it up to a computer

    That all depends on what you mean by sync. If you want to share iTunes content such as music, apps and videos, then yes, they both must be logged in to the same iTunes store account.
    If you want to sync contacts, calendars, notes and reminders, again the answer is yes, you just need to sync them to the same iCould account.
    For non-iTunes music there's iTunes Match.
    To sync photos there' Photo Stream.
    It there something else you want to sync that I have missed?

  • Can I just ONCE sync my phone without losing the 39 gigs of music I have??

    Can I just ONCE sync my phone without losing the 39 gigs of music I have?? It never fails!!! I was thinking about buying my daughter an iPad mini this week, not so sure now. I've always had these issues, but this is outta control. I don't have the 4 full days it takes putting everything back on my phone. Thanks.

    Oh, I had this problem a while a go.
    I solved it by un-ticking the box that says "Sync Music" in the music syncing section for your device on iTunes then apply the changes (This could take a little while). Then un-plug your device and turn it off then back on. Then plug it back in, and let it back up and all the other stuff it has to do when you plug it in. Then turn on "Sync Music" again, then apply the changes. Un-plug the device and then turn it off and turn it back on again. See if that fixes all of your problems.

  • IMovie Won't Let Me Trim Clip Length To Less Than 1.0 Seconds

    Anyone have any luck trimming clips down to less than 1.0 seconds?
    I'm doing some video editing on iMovie for which I want to trim clips down to about 0.4 to 0.6 seconds depending on the audio track I'm trying to match. I can't seem to get iMovie to let me trim a track down past 1.0 seconds. When I try to trim it, the length just stays at 1.0 seconds. I HAVE been able to take a clip that's 1.0 seconds, split it, and then end up with two clips of 0.5 seconds each. However, when I try to make any length adjustment on these shorter clips they automatically jump back out to 1.0 second lengths and I'm back to square one.
    Thanks in advance and happy iMovie-ing!

    I find that splitting a clip is much easier then trimming.

    So I tend to scroll through to where I want to make and edit, and then split the clip, and delete the bit to cut out.
    And then you can go as close as about .4 seconds.
    Sadly iMovie iOS isn't really made for fast cuts.
    So the only advise I can give is to split clips to get them shorter.

  • IMovie HD 6.0.3: After making 10 movies where I clipped portions from a larger clip (and exported the smaller clips), suddenly iMovie clips are much shorter after I export them.

    Hi there,
    I am using iMovie HD 6.0.3 on an older MacBookPro (OS X, 10.4.11).
    I took an AVI video and imported that into iMovie HD.
    I then created smaller clips out of that - like editing a 20 minute video into small, 30 second clips.
    I made about 10 of these smaller clips, exported them using "expert settings," and burned the results to DVD. These all worked fine.
    Suddenly, the final product that I export is much shorter than the clip I created. For example, I'll create a 30 second smaller clip from the original. When I review this 30 second clip, it is what I wanted.
    When I export this 30 second clip, it makes a QuickTime movie that is only 23 seconds. (The first 10 I made did not do this).
    I tried extending my clip by 7 seconds, hoping to end up with a 30 second clip after exporting. The result was even shorter - like 15 seconds.
    I have checked disk space - it has at least 500 GB free space. I have tried exporting the clip to both my laptop and to an external hard drive. The results are the same.
    I just tried using the "crop" feature to see if my end product was better - but it was the same.
    Does anyone know what is going on? Why did this start after making 10 successful exports? What can I do to get it working right again, as I have 3 more clips to make and am running up against a deadline.
    Thanks so much!
    Heidi

    Since I can't edit this post... (Why?) I'd add: fast forwarding and fast reverse (shift key and arrow left or right) the HA files is also not smooth. They play alright. I'm surprised iMovie can't handle them either. I didn't have a problem with the earlier camcorder's HA files... (All were converted MTS files using Movie Converter.)

  • Trimming  clips and automatically crossfading

    Hello all, 2 questions about FCP.
    - When I have 2 clips on the same track and you move the left clip over the right clip and then back to where it was, it leaves the right clip trimmed. How can I leave the right clip as it was?
    - Also, how do you get clips to autofade? For example in Logic when you overlap to clips you can see the overlap and it automatically cross fades between the two clips for the duration of the overlap. How do you set this to be automatic in FCP? It is difficult to find these things in the help as the terminology is different. Thanks.

    You might find a consumer grade app that does what you want, but in pro video editing software the features you describe are not generally considered desirable functionality.
    Regarding moving clips about non destructively you just have adopt a more conducive workflow ... just use different video tracks for your clips. If you literally just want to move a clip over another, preview the cut and then change your mind and want it back how it was, then just use "Undo".
    Regarding auto crossfade/dissolve transitions ... no options here, just use the keyboard shortcuts or apply via drag and drop. You can also apply a default transition across all selected cuts with FCP 7 so that might be something useful for you if you don't like to control your edits more precisely.

  • Why is it, again, that I can't drag-timestretch clips and make them and snap to rulers? (in MT)

    How come while 1'm holding control and dragging the edge of a clip to timestretch it, I can't make it snap to the rules, If I want to say bring it from 6 bars back to 5 bars why can't the timestretched clip snap to the ruler while I'm stretching it?
    The Automation not being able to keep up continues to annoy me, and prevent me from creating certain effects on a couple of tracks, is there any effects arrangement (multiple efx perhaps) that anyone knows of that will create a tremolo effect that you can regulate with the settings?  So I can bring the volume up and down fairly rapidly in rhythm?

    I"m starting to figure out the automation, hard to understand the description of controls but I messed around with enough to notice some improvement in the recording of the mute on/off

  • IMovie´09 Project with synced photo clips and workflow

    Hi,
    as I am new to Imovie, I have some difficulties to start with, no real Manual available and so on. Maybe someone can help me out a bit.
    I want to sync Pictures to a given music piece which has 120 bpm. I want to change the pictures every four seconds, but I did not figure out, how to adjust the timing of my pictures.
    I want to add overblendings for two seconds. These values are added to the duration of the importet picture. I want to have them embedded in the duration of my 4 seconds and so on. If I enter a value in the inspector it does not accept these nor the yellow editing borders really keep the desired value. If there is any good documentation out there it would be fine to have that. It is not a good idea to have those short pieces of online information. Workflow should be explained and so on...
    Thanks for your help
    Best regards

    Yes I have had the same problem. Exactly. Not the amount of music or sound or effects I think. I have produced many 2+ hour films loaded with $hit in Imovie 09 with no problems. Until now.
    Other projects work fine. I tried creating a duplicate project, it also crashes imovie.
    I opened and restarted 10 times, finally looks like I am able to 'share' and export the corrupted project as a .mov or mp4 file.
    Hope it works I have many hours invested.

  • Blog: Can't see HTML clips and YouTube

    I have tried to insert YouTube clips by following the Web Widgets/ HTML snippets directions. I can see the YouTube clip on iWeb, but not on the published site. What else should I do? I publish through .mac.

    Try to Empty the cache of your browser (Open Safari, go to Safari in your Safari menu and select Empty cache) and reload the page.
    If that didn't help make a 'Publish All' form the iWeb File menu.
    If that didn't help either you might provide a link to a page so someone could have a look at it
