Importing a qt movie step by step?

I cant for the life of me figure out how to import a clip into the program, I'm trying to stabilize a moving shot and I cant even find the thing. Can anyone show me or point me in the right direction on how to do this? Thanks for your time. I'm really new at this program so I really need a step by step

Tony... I know they are trying to help you here... give you a fish or give you a fishing pole...
But based on the other post you had here and the amount of 'splainin' we (I) had to do...
It would be helpful to us if you read the manual and did the tutorials.
That said. I just drag the clip from my FINDER to the NODE window in shake. But that just answers your question and doesn't address the issues you will still have by not knowing what question to even ask.
Good luck,

  • Urgent help: How to remove the accumaltion when show movies step by step with buttons

    I want to show the movie step by step by clicking the next
    button. Inside each frame, many movie clips are generated
    dynamically at runtime, and they can be played interactively.
    I achieves the step-by-step display of those frames by adding
    another layer with the action stop(). But I got one trouble: all
    the movie clips from previous frames are accumalted. How to remove
    the accumulation from previous frames?
    For the continuous display of the movie, I tried to use
    onEnterFrame() and change the _visible property of all the movie
    clips to false in this function. But it doesn't work for the
    step-by-step display. Once I click the next button, the movie clips
    at the current frame just show very quickly, then disappear. What
    should I do?
    I need to fix this immediately.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    you can use the removeMovieClip() method for those movieclips
    added dynamically.

  • How can I import an m4v movie from my desktop to my event Library in iMovie?

    How can I import an m4v movie from my desktop to my event Library in iMovie?  I want to include the m4v movie into another project in iMovie.

    When you import DV Stream from tape, iMovie 11 will assume that you are importing raw footage from a camera, rather than a finished movie. It will create a new clip everytime it detects a scene break (the record start/stop button was pressed). These clips will be placed in chronolgical order - not the order they were on the tape.
    One way around this is to import the tape into the application that you used to create it. For example, if you used iMovie 6, import the tape back into imovie 6. In iMovie 6, you can export the tape back out using FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose the DV codec in an MOV container.  You can then import this MOV file into iMovie 11 and have everything in the proper order for your finished movie.
    Another option is to use FInal Cut Pro X.

  • I have MTS files imported from a Canon HD cam. They import into I movie and I see them in the Finder folders and they preview fine. I have a new project and some of the clips are freezing and some audio is now gone? Do i need a file converter and convert

    I have MTS video files that import from a Canon Vixia HF S20 HD camera. I imported into I Movie. They converted into MOV files and I see them in the movies folder in finder. They view fine and run through the events folder in Finder. In I Movie, I created a new project and used a "Theme". The project worked fine at first but then some clips started to freeze and some lost audio. The effected clips are the same in the project library and in the event library, meaning they are froze in both places. As I said when i view through finder the MOV files preview and work fine.  Is this inherent to MTS files using in I movie. SHould i consider using a file converter to convert to MOV files prior to importing into I movie.
    I found on Apple support site info that states the MTS files can only be imported through the camera. I am developing my back up procedures and now I am faced with backing up in the original MTS files but not being able to reload if necessary into I movie. Any suggestions?

    I'd like to add that after I import these clips without thumbnails, iMovie does give me an error and say that they could not be imported. No explanation as to why, though. Again, they play fine on my camera.

  • Import fails for movies on Intel Macbook

    Importing with iPhoto on my MacBook fails on the first movie it encounters every time.
    The movies are 30 second AVI files from a Canon Ixus v3 connected via USB. The import will show no progress for about 5 minutes and then apparently time out. It returns to the iPhoto library and neither the movie nor subsequent content are there.
    The same combination of camera, cable, photos & movies works perfectly on other computers, a 17" 1GHz Powerbook and and a 17" 1GHz iMac.
    The same CF Flash card, photos & movies work fine on the MacBook using a CF-USB card reader.
    Using Image Capture on the MacBook instead iPhoto worked once but every other time it has behaved just like iPhoto. It times out and fails to import that first movie or any subsequent content.
    I created a new user on the MacBook and tried importing with iPhoto in there and the same failure occured.
    I reset the PRAM and tried again to no avail.
    I worked through all this with the AppleCare phone support with no success. The support person consulted senior technicians for a couple of minutes and came back to me with their opinion - that it is probably an incompatibility betwen iPhoto, the Intel Mac and the Canon Ixus v3 ie. the specific combination of those three things.
    They suggest that it's not a USB issue because iPhoto imports perfectly using the CF-USB card reader. They believe it's not an iPhoto software installation issue for the same reason. It's not a preferences issue because it also failed with a new user and the PRAM reset didn't help.
    They apologized for not finding a solution for me and could only offer the workaround of using the CF card reader. That's not such a bad work around but I'd still like to persist if anyone can suggest any further troubleshooting or possible solutions. I'd also like to see "me too" posts from anyone who has had the same issue.

    I have had a similar problem, where maye 8 out of 10 AVI format moves will download into iPhoto, but the rest simply never get there. I did get 107 out of 109 files OK but have seen worse. I can tell you about which camera it is, how I connect and so on, but first, this:
    A small sidebar in the Bugs & Fixes column of the April, 2007 Macworld magazine (see page 89) mentions that: "the likely cause is a problematic third-party QuickTime Plug-in." and advises the reader to check for and remove plug-ins not installed by OSX.
    I took the same camera and imported all 109 pics from my camera on a separate account of the same machine (20" i-mac but I don't think this is relevant) and got all 109 f 109 files just fine.
    So, I think "problematic third party QT plug-ins may be a good call. Need to investigate this some more, but its a flaky problem and Macs are supposed to "just plain work".

  • Lately, when I play a song from a newly imported cd, itunes moves the song to another location. The song is still in the main list but it is no longer with the rest of the album. Any ideas?

    Lately, when I play a song from a newly imported cd, itunes moves the song to a different location in the library. The song is no longer grouped with the rest of the album. Any ideas?

    Hi, llmrfan.
    I have experienced this as well.  Usually it is something simple in the metadata that iTunes recognizes as different.  Try selecting all the songs at once in that album and get info on multiple tracks.  At that point you can mark them as part of a compilation.  The article below walks you through this process.
    Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?

  • How do I import a quicktime movie?

    Hi,
    I think this is a super simple question, How do I import a
    quicktime movie onto my page? I presume you go to
    insert>media>? not to sure what comes next though? Is it
    shockwave,applet,active x or plugin?
    Thanks,
    Beth H

    There's not a default insert behavior for this built into
    Dreamweaver, but a
    quick search on the Exchange show that there is an extension
    for this,
    although I've not used it. Do a search for "quicktime" here:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?view=sn120#loc=en_us&view=sn105&viewName=E xchange%20Search
    Make sure you set the program dropdown to Dreamweaver to
    minimize the number
    of hits. Should be the second one on the list: "Insert a
    QuickTime Movie,
    V1.0.1".
    Hope this works for you. There is some additional information
    about the
    extension on the detail page that you might want to look at
    to ensure
    everything works properly.
    Best regards,

  • How to reinstall plugin Media Core CFHD AVI importer 32 and MOV importer 32.pm?

    I instralled the After Effects trial program and it was running okay for a few days, then I was hit with a warning to reinstall plugins.  How to reinstall plugin Media Core CFHD AVI importer 32 and MOV importer 32.pm?

    Has anyone figure this out?
    I started getting this after installing GoPro Studio 2.
    Uninstalling it and even deleting the plugins manually didn't work, and neither did reinstalling AE.
    All I could get was stop getting the error message at start-up but the problem is that any .AVI file that I import only plays audio, no video.
    Please, any help appreciated.

  • Importing MPEG and MOV

    i have been trying to import MPEG and MOV files to iMovie 08 without any success.
    the movies i have already previously copied to my HD, or have been copied for me, so I am not copying them from any camera.
    The funny thing is ... when i look into my iPhoto library from iMovie he does recognise the videos i have copied directly from my digital photo camera, but i can't just copy any MPEG or MOV files from any other location, previously copied, to my iMovie library.
    Does anybody here have the same problem as me?

    Does anybody here have the same problem as me?
    Everyone will have this problem. It is the way iMovie '08 is currently programmed. The basic problem is that most users fail to realize that there are three distinct levels of support in QT based applications:
    1) Playback Support - This simply means a particular compresion format can be played in a QT application. E.g., MPEG2 video is not normally supported without the QT MPEG-2 component while MPEG1 and H.264/AAC files are both playback compatible as they are.
    2) Conversion Support - This means a file can be "properly" converted to another compression format. In this case, "muxed" formats like MPEG1 and MPEG2 (even with the QT MPEG2 component) cannot be converted to another compression format by QT applications and retain their audio content while H.264/AAC files can.
    3) Edit Support - This means that certain operations can be performed on the audio and/or video content at the frame level. QT applications can, for instance, segment the audio and video content of an H.264/AAC file at any frame but since "muxed" files like MPEG1 and MPEG2 files consist of "blocks" of audio data interspersed with "blocks" of video data in a single stream, segmenting a file at any point other than one where a "group" of such "blocks" ends/begins would mean the loss of many "frames worth" of either audio or video data. AVI has a similar problem. Since the "instances" of audio and video data mesh like the cogs of two wheels, segmenting an AVI always leaves a 1 frame deficit between the number audio frames and the number of video frames. (Ever wonder why you end up with that one "white" frame at the end of youe file?)
    Now we come to the various types of QT based applications. Many, like iPhoto and iTunes don't really look at the files when they import them, so they are more than happy to import anything they can read and recognize. If a file can be played in the QT player, it can be played in both iPhoto and iTunes. On the other hand, some applications are a bit "picky" about what they will export. iTunes, for instance, will not export/sync a file it has imported if the target device cannot play it. iMovie '06 is also different, in that it will import anything it can convert even if it can't convert it properly -- i.e., an MPEG1 file will be converted to DV video but lose any audio that may have been contained in the file. iMovie '08 takes things to a new level. Since imported files are simply moved/copied to "Events" folders in their original compression format, iMovie '08 first checks to see if the files contain both audio and video data that can be edited at the frame level. If both cannot be edited at the frame level, then iMovie '08 will not allow you to import it. Camcorder devices, however, are handled differently. Since most content on tapeless models are not stored in a QT edit supported format, these files, as well as HDV, are converted to an intermediate codec (which can be edited) as part of the import process.
    As to digital cameras, many manufacturers store their video clips in generic file containers. Just because a Kodak digital camera stores its data in an MOV file container, it does not mean bothe audio and video compressions formats can be edited in iMovie '08. Many Kodak models, for instance, store their video clips as MPEG4/µ-Law 2:1 files. Unfortunately, while the iMovie will accept the MPEG4 video, it doesn't like the µ-Law compressed audio. Same holds true for many Casio digital cameras which use Motion JPEG/DVI ADPCM comressed formats. Once again, iMovie has no problem with the Motion JPEG video content but refuses to accept the DVI ADPCM audio. Luckily, users have two options here. They can either convert both the audio and video to an iMovie '08 edit compatible compression format or simply convert the audio content and "re-merge" it with the original video for maximum quality. And, of course, MPEG1/2 "muxed" files or M2V files with unsupported audio compression formats must be converted for the reasons already mentioned above.

  • Can't import XDCAM files(.mov) in Premiere for Windows

    Hello.
    I have some problem using XDCAM file in Premiere Pro.
    Actually I captured the XDCAM file(.mov) from MovieRecorder, which is the ingest software for Mac..(http://www.softron.tv/products/movierecorder.html)
    The XDCAM file is opened in Premiere Pro for Mac.
    And  I can play the file in QuickTime player for Win but I can't import the file in Premiere for Windows.
    How can I import the XDCAM(.mov) recorded from Mac in Premiere Pro for Windows?
    Do I have to install any codec or program?
    Please let me know any advice.
    Best regards,
    Donnie Kim

    Any suggestions would be appreaciated.
    They have a website with support and a forum.  https://www.videocopilot.net/products/action2/
    Looks like cool stuff.
    They list compatability with Premier Elements.  Perhaps if you post a request there, you will find someone that has been down the road before you with the combination of the two products.   They may also need to know if an adjustment is necessary for PrE11.
    Good luck!

  • Can we import a Director movie into Flash ?

    I'm exploring a possibility of importing a Director movie into Flash or if it is possible to import a published Director movie into Flash.
    Anticipating your reply....

    As I may have mentioned in the other thread where you asked this, No.  You can not.  You can import a flash swf into Director but you can not import anything from Director into Flash.

  • How to import a DVD movie into FCEHD

    I need to import a home movie that is on a DVD into FCEHD.
    The move was created with FCE and iDVD.
    Thanks

    Hi Larry.
    If you read this post it should give you some useful information:-
    Ian R. Brown, "How Do You Convert a DVD video to an mpeg video?" #2, 06:02am Oct 10, 2005 CDT
    Also, as well as HandBrake you could try ffmpegx which will give you better quality as you can convert the MPEG2 files into DV and import it directly into FCE.
    It is Shareware. You can use it free of charge but if you find it extremely useful they would like you to make a payment - I think it is $15.

  • How to import non-HD movies from old iMovie

    Hi there,
    guess I am a little bit late for this, but until recently I had still the old iMovie (6 ?) version installed - whereas after migration to Snow Leopard and iMovie 09 (?) the older iMovie version isn't there anymore.
    So, how do I import the old movies - not in HD format - into my HD Event Library without unnecessary conversion? It seems that the import via File->Import->iMovie HD Projects is not the right way, as it upscales my smaller format to the Large ("false" HD) format.
    Tried to find answers in the forum but without result.
    Thanks for any tips!

    1. The iPhone can only work with SIMs made (coded) for the iPhone. SIMs from other phones will not work (though an iPhone SIM can work in an older phone).
    2. The iPhone doesn't read nor write to the SIM and has no option to import from a SIM.
    Best bet (what I did) was obtain the the software Motorola has that will allow you to interact with the Razr (which I use to have). The software they have has their own address book reader to bring contacts into their own proprietary address book on the computer. Once in, it has an export feature (export to .CSV/.TXT file). From there I imported them into Outlook. Then synced with the iPhone and Outlook.
    I did all that back when I first bought two iPhones for my wife and I when the first generation iPhone came out.
