Import video clip into Photoshop

Seems when I attended an Adobe NAB seminar they said that it is possible to import a video clip into Photoshop to use tools, like clone, to remove objects from the clip. Is this possible and if so, is there a tutorial outlining the process. Thanks,

Thanks Jim,
Went there and could not find a clip amoung the numerous ones available. Great resource by the way. I used many combinations so search words and nothing came up. Can you give me the search words I need or do you have a title for the clip? This will help me navigate that site and get to the meat of what I need. Thanks,

  • Importing video clips into iphoto

    hi,
    is it possible to import video clips from a digital stills camera into iphoto? haven't had much luck doing it, can anyone help?
    thanks
    nick

    Hi nick,
    When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
    My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
    This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
    The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
    Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
    Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
    When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
    Under the General button choose
    Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
    The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
    In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
    To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.

    If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

  • Importing video clips into slide shows

    I often insert video clips into slide shows.  They mix nicely with pan and zoom still photos.  However, the type of video clips that can be inserted is very restricted.  Why is this?
    Elements can deal with a wide variety of video formats but, as far as I can see, only AVI and WMV videos can be imported into slide shows.  Compact digital cameras typically use AVI, MOV and MP4 formats.  My camera produces MPG videos, which I cannot import.  I have to convert the clips into AVI format and reimport these into Organiser etc - which is very fiddly. I am considering buying a new camera that produces AVI video clips as standard.
    Why is the choice of video formats so limited? I cannot find a list of allowable formats on the Adobe site.

    Hi David
    Thanks for this. I tried that, but again, Streamclip only imported content from the first clip, ignoring the rest...on further inspection, all the VOB files were sub-divisions of the the first item (in essence, the system had chopped up the first recording into sections and formatted them as VOB files, but failed to do that for the remaining content of the DVD).
    I booked an appt with a Mac Genius today and he downloaded Handbrake and this appears to be the way forward - you can isolate any of the content from the DVD, and save into either avi or mp4 files. I currently don't need Streamclip, since after my selection's been saved unto the desktop it can be dragged into iMovie and edited from there. I'll be keeping Steamclip though...after all of the aggro, it seems to good to be true!
    Thanks again for responding to my query. Really appreciated that you took the time.

  • Can not import video clips into iMovie from Photos

    I have some clips that I copied from my GoPro to my iPad via the Apple Camera Connection Kit.  When I open iMovie there are icons for the clips but iMovie will not import them.  The format is H.264.  Is there a way of tricking iMovie?

    Here is the problem, Im making a movie, I took all the video on my Kodak V610 Camera. I have the clips in .mov format. The clips are stored on an external disk in my iPhoto library.
    Your digital camera probably uses MPEG-4 video (compatible with iMovie '08 in combination with µ-Law 2:1 compressed audio (which is not iMovie '08 compatible). While using the MPEG Streamclip MPEG-4 conversion will work, the prefered methof would be to use the QT "Movie to MPEG-4" option in QT Pro (quicker if you have it) or GarageBand (via the "Expert Settings option) to "pass through" you video while converting the audio to AAC (MPEG-4 audio). A mono setting of 64 Kbps with a 44.1 KHz sampling rate is a bit of "overkill" with respect to the original audio but will be quality compatible with what iMovie uses for its output presets.

  • Importing Video clips into Prem CS5

    Hi,
    Just upgraded from 1.5.1 to CS5.
    When I try importing .avi videos captured in 1.5.1 into the project, only the audio appears and not the video. I drag them onto the timeline, and again only the audio goes onto the timeline.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

  • Assembling still photos and video clips into one video presentation.

    This is partly a Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements (both version 7) question, so hopefully not posting to the wrong group (there doesn't seem to be a Premiere Elements forum anyway)!
    I am currently putting together a video/slideshow presentation, initially for display directly from a computer (to data projector) and then ultimately to end up on a DVD.  The presentation  consists of digital and scanned photographs (prints and transparencies) and video clips.  I successfully put together a slideshow of all the stills with Photoshop Elements, inlcuding music etc.  I then output the slideshow to Premiere Elements, so that I could merge it with my already edited video clips.
    The output process works smoothly enough, but as soon as I run the completed presentation, the quality of the imported slideshow is nothing short of woeful!  Each image is badly pixellated and all the transition effects are mangled - in short, it is unwatchable.  As it turns out, simply adding a single, still image to Premiere Elements results in a very poor final image.  Drop the exact same video clips and still images into Windows Movie Maker and the quality is spot on (as is playing the slideshow after outputting it as a WMV file and playing via any player capable of playing WMVs).
    Trying to go the other way, ie importing video clips into Photoshop Elements, pretty much always results in it crashing!
    The two products are marketed to "work together", but they are an abject failure in this regard!
    OS is 64 bit Vista Ultimate.
    I've tried searching the manuals and online help, but could find nothing of any help.  I've sent an e-mail to Adobe support, but have received no response from them (after three weeks).
    I'm hoping that someone may be able to point out something that I may have missed, or offer some tips and tricks.
    Thanks.

    There is a separate forum for Premiere Elements at

    Also, my favorite place for Premiere Elements questions (including slideshows) is a site started by some Adobe Premiere Elements forum regulars at http://muvipix.com/phpBB3/index.php   Forum signup is free. There are multiple subforums at that site and because most of your questions are Premiere elements, I suggest that you post under the "PE version 7" subforum.
    Wherever you decide to post, I suggest that you include in your post my comments and the answers to the questions that I asked here.
    1 -- It has FAQs over to the right of the thread listing on the Adobe Premiere Elements forum. One of those FAQs that is relevant to your current workflow is
    What resolution should my photos be in Premiere Elements?
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/431851?tstart=0
    2 -- Also, I suspect that you used Pan and/or Zoom on some of your photos when creating the Slide Show withinn Photoshop Elements.
    For those photos, you want the Premiere Elements setting of Scale to Framesize set OFF.
    3- There are also other considerations such as
    -- which Project Setting you are using in Premiere Elements?
    -- what dimensions are you using when you export from Premiere Elements to the WMV file?
    -- what is the resolution for the projector on which this video will initially be displayed?
    4 -- I do agree with your approach of adding the video in Premiere Elements.
    5 -- The mangled transitions needs more detailed info in order to discuss.
    Tthe timing of transitions is definitely different between the Photoshop Elements slideshow editor playback and the Premiere Elements output: this gives some people serious problems and for others it is not significant.  I don't know yet if that is your problem.

  • Is there a way to copy referenced video clips into the iMovie library?

    When I import video clips into an iMovie event it seems that iMovie uses only a reference to the file. When files are moved things get horrible broken soon. I noticed that iMovie does actually copy video clips into your library when you convert your library from iMovie'11 to iMovie'13. Is there a way to copy video clips into the iMovie library when importing them so that they don't get lost?

  • I cannot import video clips when working with iMovie

    I have a 13" Macbook Pro running Mavericks versión 10.9.4 but lately I do not know what happened since everytime I try to import video clips into my movie or trailer I am unable to get it. Those thumbnail are grey out, I can't drag them out into my project. Why ?

    In Lion, one can select a video clip, go to finder services, and click on encode video...it will transcode the .mpg to something iMovie can handle. Far as I can tell, .mpg is not something iMovie likes to play with.

  • Importing video clips in AVCHD (Lite) into Aperture vs iMovie

    I'm trying to figure out which application I should use for importing and storing video clips shot on my Panasonic DMC-ZS7 camera. This camera can shoot in AVCHD (Lite) or in Motion JPEG. I use the AVCHD (Lite) format to shoot the videos with this camera.
    The two application options I currently have for importing video clips from this camera are:
    a. Aperture 3.5.1 (I'm not using iPhoto since I have Aperture).
    b. iMovie 10.0.1 (I'm not using Final Cut Pro)
    When I first got this camera, Aperture 3 did not support the AVCHD Lite codec. Back then, iMovie could import video clips shot in AVCHD Lite, but it had to transcode the AVCHD video clips into AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec). Some time later, one of the Aperture 3 updates made it possible to import AVCHD Lite into Aperture (without having to transode into an intermediate codec), so we started importing our video clips shot in AVCHD Lite (together with our photos shot by the same camera) directly into Aperture.
    iMovie 10 released in 2013 supports importing video clips shot in AVCHD Lite without having to transode them to AIC for storing these video clips in iMovie. So, now we have a dilemma that we need help with. Which application should we use going forward for importing video clips from this camera?
    When I look at the metadata for the imported videos in Aperture, I see that the format of the imported video clips is listed as H.264. However, I can't seem to be able to find any information about the format in which iMovie stores imported videos. I can "Reveal in Finder" a video that I import into iMovie, and I see the size of the file and the .mov extension assigned to the file. With video files, the extension does not always determine the codec of the file, but in my non-expert opinion, the .mov extension is not H.264; I may be totally wrong here, though. What I have noticed, though, is that a video clip imported into iMovie has the file size that is about 10% larger than the same video clip imported into Aperture.
    Therefore, I have three questions:
    1. What format is a video clip (shot in AVCHD Lite) stored in Aperture 3.5.1 and in iMovie 10.0.1
    2. Which format (the one used by Aperture or the one used in iMovie) is better suited for transoding AVCHD videos into? The balance of the quality and file size is the main consideration for us.
    3. Which applications would you personally prefer using for importing video clips to and why?
    I do want to use some of these video clips to make home videos in the future, utillizing iMovie. However, it seems I can still store the raw footage in Aperture and access this raw footage from iMovie to be able to create an iMovie project and a final home video. One of the concerns is that if we keep importing our video clips into Aperture, the Aperture library could grow beyond the size that Aperture can support and we may end up losing our photos due to the database corruption. Is this a real risk?
    Thank you!

  • Importing a pdf into photoshop CC and it corrupts the artwork slightly but in older photoshop version it does not corrupt?

    Hi
    When Importing a pdf into photoshop CC it corrupts the artwork slightly but in older photoshop version it does not corrupt? Please help as this corruption slightly marked the artwork, it was then printed and is going to cost my company thousands to replace. [email protected]

    "Slightly corrupted" sounds very much akin to "slightly pregnant".  Hard to imagine.
    I assume you're referring to some sort of image quality deterioration or some added artifacts.
    Could you post a screen shot?  Just so that someone familiar with PDFs opened in CC can form an idea of the nature of the "corruption" and where the cause might lie.
    If you post back, please give complete hardware and software details about your setup, including the exact version of CC so they can see if all updates have been applied.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    software settings,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
    A screen shot could be very helpful too.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Cannot import 1 clip into iMovie

    I'm a newbie so I'll try to give as much detail as possible on my current problem and hope some more experienced users can offer some suggestions.
    This has been a recurring problem since using iMovie '09.  I'm using '09 on an iMac with OS-X.  When I try to import video clips from my card reader, iMovie will import SOME but not others.  These were all taken at the same time from the same event (a concert) so the formatting didn't change.  The one clip I'm really struggling with right now is the one I need the most - it's quite big - about 60 minutes of video but I have a new external 3 TB hard drive so space isn't an issue.
    No matter how many times I try, I get a "Cannot import 1 clip" message when trying to add this one to iMovie.  The thing is - that message occurs at different points.  At first, I would get it within 5 minutes of importing.  Sometimes, I get it halfway through and once, I almost got to the end of importing the whole 60 minutes before that message popped up. 
    I've had this problem in the past with other video clips but after rebooting and trying again (sometimes several times) - eventually it DOES import.  I can play this problem clip within iMovie from the reader, play it in the camcorder and on the TV and there's no problem with it.  Why won't iMovie import THIS clip but will import other clips around it?  (Other clips are quite large too!) 
    Before I invest in upgrading to iLife '11 - I want to feel comfortable that iMovie isn't going to keep giving me these same headaches.  As I said before, this problem has occurred in the past with other events.  After trying and trying many times, I've finally gotten those clips imported.  But with this one, I don't seem to be making any headway.
    Any advice would be appreciated.  And if you need more info, please let me know and I'll do my best.
    Thank you!

    I have a Sony DCR-DVD103 and when I go to File>Import Movies I do see my Finalized DVD, but all the files including the Import button are grayed out. How can I import the Finalized movie into iMovie?
    The "Import Movies..." option is for importing "edit" compatible files from a hard drive into iMovie '08. If the source files are not already "edit" compatible, iMovie '08 will not let you import them. Instead, try the ""Import from Camera..." option. If iMovie '08 properly recognizes you DVD camcorder, it will import your MPEG2/AAC content by converting all MPEG-2 "P" and "B" frames to "I" frames (which are editable), convert the AC3 audio to AIFF, and place both in an MOV file container with start and/or end time offsets to minimize drift between audio and video. The resulting file can then be edited in iMovie '08.
    If the camcorder is not recognized by iMovie '08, then you will probably have to import the MPEG2/AC3 files to you hard drive and manually convert them to an edit compatible compression format manually using an MPEG-based, third-party conversion application like iSquint (free), MPEG Streamclip (free but requires $20 QT MPEG-2 Playback component), FFmpegX, (donation-ware), Visual Hub (pay-ware), MPEG2 Works (pay-ware), or similar application.
