Sorry, but I don't understand  what "5 1 hour video" means.
I do understand that you have a lot of clips that you want to group by various subjects, like vacation, etc. That's a perfect job for keywords, which perhaps is what you used when you named them?
If you did use keywords, go to that TL Index and click Tag at the top and then the keyword icon at the bottom. It should give you a list of only clips in that category. Select clip from the menu and it should highlight them. You could then copy and paste them to a new project for export. Repeat as necessary.
If you're going to do a lot of these, I'd suggest doing this from the event browser, applying keywords and then the clips into separate projects.  But there are always more than one way to do things, and to each his/her own.
Again, I don't have any idea how long your footage is and whether it is even possible (or desirable) to fit it on to a single DVD. I mentioned iDVD because of its menu and sub menu capabilities. You will need another app like Compressor to do the chapter makers (unless Apple updates FCP before you finish your project and adds that capability. That would be nice,)
Good luck.

    Are you sure that:
    1. You have the correct disc for your operating system? You have both mac and windows versions on the discs. If you have a mac you want disc 3, not disc 1.

    Hi
    A. How much free space is there on Your - Start-Up (Macintosh HD) Hard disk ?
    The movie in Your Camera / Stored on Your Mac (from Camera) - is very Compressed.
    For iMovie (or FinalCut) it has to be in an Editable format - and this is massively LARGER
    I've movies on 500Mb when un-folder are 50Gb or even more.
    B. Is there other external Hard Disks connected ?
    How are it / they formatted - HAS TO BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) to work for VIDEO
    UNIX / DOS / FAT32 / Mac OS Exchange - Works for most other things but not for VIDEO

  • When iPhoto '11 crashes after importing photos and videos, they are gone. How can I retrieve them?

    iPhoto '11 randomly crashes after importing/editing/organizing photos and videos. When it does, photos and videos that I've been working on are gone. Pictures taken with iOS devices can be retrieved if they are still in Photo Stream, but videos are gone. Is there anyway I can retrieve photos and pictures that are not saved before iPhoto crashes? Also, is there anyway to prevent it from crashing? It seems iPhoto '11 is doing this since the day 1 I started using it. Thank you.

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library
    this should help with the crashes - it may or may not help with the missing videos

  • I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash.  When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb.  How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

    I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash.  When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb.  How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

    Non-destructive editing is an important feature of iMovie HD 6.
    iMovie preserves the entire copy of every clip you place into your movie in case you change your mind at a later stage.
    So, if you have cut out one minute from a 45 minute clip, iMovie will have stored two complete copies of that clip. This is why is helps to set import as 3-5 minute clips rather than one huge chunk. As DV runs at 13GB per hour your project files can get very big.
    One workaround is to complete the editing of a section of the movie, then export that to Quicktime: highlight the clip/s, choose Share-Quicktime, turn on Share selected clips only, and choose Full Quality from the pop-ip menu.
    Once you have saved the stand-alone clip to your hard drive, you can re-import it into your project using the File/Import command, and delete the original long clip/s from the project.

  • I have an old project with AVCHD clips and I want to import the clips again with surround sound. How can I relink the project clips to the re-imported ones without doing the project from the begining?

    I have an old project with AVCHD clips and I want to import the clips again with surround sound. How can I relink the project clips to the re-imported ones without doing the project from the begining?
    I have a sony handicam and I imported the clips to iMovie and they lost quality and converted the audio to stereo. I want to import the project to final cut X and import the AVCHD in 1080p and surround sound and export the movie in bluray. Can I relink the clips without editing everything again?
    thanks!

    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
    Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
    You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

    i've been trying to import a cd into itunes that has different artists on the cd. (queen of the damned soundtrack) after its done, all the tracks aren't together. its all sepreated. how can i keep all the tracks together?

    Happens all the time and you are probably correct about cause.
    Some CD manufacturers use various forms of copy protection on discs designed to interfere with computers reading the discs. I have found iTunes to be very picky about this too. I have had several discs iTunes would not acknowledge but could rip with another program. Other times the fix is as simple as cleaning the disc ro turning on error correction for the ripping process.

    i use windows and i got my hard disk replaced now when i try to sync wirelessly my ipod detects my computed as being a different one how can i make it forget the old one?

    You will have to sync it to the new one, erasing the current content from the ipod and replacing it with the content from the new drive.
    Make sure you have copied everything from your backup copy of your computer back to the new drive first.

  • How can I save finished and shared movies from old iMovieHD-projects

    Hi there, I have a big problem:
    I have found some old iMovieHD 6 Projects. (.iMovieProject) that already have been finished years ago.
    Now I would like to save the finished movies outside the projects but I can't find a way to do this although I've been searching in the www for hours.
    When I go to the folder 'shared movies' I find a small .mov file - it's only some KB big.
    I can start this and the movie plays with no problem im QuickTime Player 7, the quality ist quite ok - original films were .DV from a camcorder.
    When I use iDVD I can take this movie without problems and burn it as DVD or .img on my hard disk.
    In this .img I can find the folder VIDEO-TS where I can find the movie al .VOB. But the Quality is really awful.
    How can I save the finished movie right out of the folder 'shared movies' in the best quality, maybe as .mov or other ?
    I can't install iMovieHD 6.0.3 because my old iLive install-DVD was sold with my old macbook years ago and I don't know if it would work  anyway on Mavericks 10.9.5
    Now I have iMovie 10 and 11. Importing the old projects would not solve the problem because only the original clips were imported, not the project itself.
    Would be QuickTime Pro a solution ? There are items like 'save as' or 'export' but I don't know if it works with this kind of files...

    Save the clips as Quicktime files (full quality), then you can import them into later versions of iMovie. An iMovie 6 project would not be compatible with recent versions of iMovie.

  • I want ro remove all of the default Firefox bookmarks. There are way too many and none of which are usefull to me. I would like to make my old IE Favorites folder the default. How can I do this?

    Did you import an iPhoto Library from the old Hard Drive? Do you still have that old Library?
    The way to clear out a Library is to Export the photos - Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
    For the annoying start-up message:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

    You should have purchased an external hard drive and backed up your entire system and important data before bringing it into an Apple Store to gave them do what you had them do.
    If you had any important data, like photos, personal videos, important documents, large music library, etc and had lost all of this by having Apple "clean out" your Mac, without a backup of this data, you would have lost everything on your Mac that was important to you.
