Thank You,

sidenote, nomenclatura : you drag clips to a Project, not the Project Library..
you can add all clips from one Event into a Project..
• click into the black background of the Event's Preview
• hit Apple-A (='all')
• hit E or drag 'n drop into Project..

If I have more then a few tabs open such as gmail, facebook, and a zynga game no tabs will load at all. I close and reopen firefox numorous (Im talking 7 or 8 times or many more) and shut down the zynga game and still it wont load the tabs or if it does and I then try to add the game or any other site at all on a tab it causes firefox to stop working (though not close) and I have to restart opening and closing it many times to get it to work at all.

1st, you will not be able to activate your PPro1.5 on ANY new computer, see next link for the special version you MUST use
CS2 (and earlier) Activation Server http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
2nd, you already mentioned Virtual XP, so if a direct install doesn't work, that would be the way to go... or, to just do what SHOULD work from the start, just do Virtual XP

Ipod will not stay connected for more then a few seconds

I was going to update my nano this morning after downloading the newest version of software, and first off it said the firmware was corrupt. so then I restored it, and it would not restore to the new version so i used the older version. the ipod seems to work in my hand but when i connect it to my computer it will not stay connected for more then a few seconds, then it ejects its self, but itunes still shows it as being there even though the rest of the computer does not
I have not had any issues with it since i bought it which was last june.
any ideas?
John

Hi John,
I would suggest, with your iPod disconnected, that you force your iPod into disk mode (following the instructions in this article)
Connect your iPod to your computer.
Then, try restoring it in iTunes while it is connected in disk mode.
Can you successfully restore your iPod?
If so, when the restoring and resyncing process is all complete, now update your iPod to the latest firmware.
Any success with trying that?

When i move a clip into the top project screen, it cuts off about an inch of video. im trying to make a chin face video so i need that inch. any help?

1) Make sure that your project is in the same aspect ratio as your camera. If your camera shoots 16:9. make a 16:9 project.
2) Check the clip inspector for the clip in your project to see if Image Stabilization is turned on. Stabilization works by zooming in, so you may want to turn it off.

Importing PAL clips into an NTSC project

Hi guys,
I'm new to FCP... I'm wondering if it's possible to import a PAL clip into an NTSC project and will FCP do the render automatically and transfer it to NTSC?
If not can someone recommend the best way to convert such a clip? I've come across the JES Deinterlacer, but am wondering if there might be something better than that?
Thanks in advance. Chaim

take a look at graeme nattress' standards converter.

good luck.

Diff b'twn sharing a movie to DVD and importing movie project to iDVD?

I'm a relative newbie so bear with me if this is a dumb question. What's the difference (if any) between sharing a movie in iMovie 09 to DVD vs opening iDVD and importing a movie project?
Someone at my local Apple store told me the former would only enable you to view the movie on a Mac, while the latter was necessary if you wanted to view the movie through a conventional DVD player. True? Seems odd to me and the iMovie 09 tutorial does not mention this if I recall correctly.
Bottom line, is there a difference? Which is better and why? Thanks.
(I will have to burn some to PAL for relatives overseas)

Not sure for imovie 9, but in iMovie 6 and previous versions, sharing directly from iMovie to iDVD is not recommended because the video will be rendered by both iMovie and iDVD. Importing into iDVD avoided this double rendering. So the quality is better using the import method.

Importing an email more than once from notes into the webclient...Possible?

Hi!
Is it possible to import an email more than once from a lotus notes account into my webclient?
I don't have a working sample so:
Is there a lock to prevent it... in notes... in my webclient?
Are there optical signs in my webclient that an email is already imported?
Thanks in advance for your hints in this case.
Cheers, Ingo

How do you import movie projects from Facebook into iMovie on an iMac?

I have an edited movie project that was 17 mins long on my mini iPad. Because it was over 15 mins long I couldn't share it into iMovie theatre on my mini iPad. So my father suggested to share it to Facebook where (we thought) we could download it from there into iMovie on my iMac. But it didn't work. I put the link onto to my desktop, and from there, I tried to to add the link into an iMovie video tab but a little window cam up and said(and I quote): "This file will not be imported. It is not compatible with iMovie."
So...
HELP!
HOW DO YOU MAKE MY MOVIE PROJECT COMPATIBLE WITH IMOVIE?????

Thanks for getting back with me so promptly. It has taken me this time to connect with the proper people to find out the information you requested.
The camera used to film the class was a Panasonic AG-HMC40P, owned by a local cable TV station; they use Kodak video encoding software, and a SD card was used to store the video. The file extension is .mts, and the mime file is MPEG 2 transport. He said I probably need an AVCHD converter, and the Mac app store lists 8 of those options, 4 free and 4 for up to $9.99. He said I'll also need a converter for later plans of posting on YouTube or on the website, and while some of those in the app store might work for the later needs, he knows one app called "Compressor" that would work for the uploading later. He also suggested I could try renaming the .mts file to .MP2T, but he wasn't sure that would work.
They don't work with Macs at the studio, but I had thought I could have some lessons there in editing, and apply what I learned to my iMac and iMovie.
First, though, I have to be able to see it and review it!
Thanks again!

How to relink clips THROUGH the new Project Library??

I updated everything to FCPX 10.1.1.
Some clips became unlinked. I go to link them ... and am stopped dead by the NEW Library Icon (with all it's internal folders no longer seemingly accessible). I know the file is in there - if I do a search in Finder for the missing media, it takes me right to where it is.
When I do a relink, stopped dead in my tracks by the new format.
How do I access the folders hidden in the new Project Library to relink my clips with their original media?

you miss the concept of Libs:
Libraries are no 'real world' folders, just a 'register' where is what .. in best-of-all-worlds, all data (audio, video, stills, projects ...) are on the same drive - but the concept of Libs allows data spread all across your network But handled as 'one', e.g to finally-save Projects, outsource old data etc ...
A Lib acts like a (super-)folder, but isn't. Simple example: a 10GB lib could fit on a 2GB drive! .. if data is spread on some other drives. But Finder says 'here', due to use of hard- or sym-links. ....
... I read in my searches that one doesn't have to have one's media stored in the Library, but I haven't found a protocol yet for saving media elsewhere.
It's always in some LIb, but not physically... s.above ...
.. One thing I can't figure out: Folders. I love folders. I use them all the time to organize.
obsolete,
get familiar with the concept of tags/keywords/smartlists.
example:
a clip is tagged x-mas, grandma, 2002, funny scene .. one clip, one storage location, many ways to find it.
now, your old drawer/folder system: the scene with grandma wearing a funny hat ... do I have to dig in folder 'videos2002' or 'videos2003'? sub-folder xmas or birthday? or is it n my 'out-takes drive'.. but under what name? your one clip can only be in one drawer... but should be found under several keywords... sooo?
Folders = old school
tags = much more convenient.
(plus: you can use tags very similiar as your old folders... but a computer is much faster in dig'n-search than you, manually
concerning re-linking:
I once had the effect, a 'lost' drive had to be re-mounted:
the red-icon-of-terror (cam missing), relink doesn't came up with a suggestion; clicked on import from camera, clicked to my cam-archive on some drive - and WHILE doing so FCPX instantly found the old connection (no re-import nor re-linking neccessary)..
That drive was unintended un-plugged while using FCPX ..... never happened again.

How to view playing time of clips in Event or Project library ?

Hi
I have a 15 minute video and I want to extract clips say at 1:15-1:37 and add to project library. (Someone has send me the times at which to extract the clips)
I understand that clips work on frame basis rather than time basis, but still is there any way I can know what time the clip is running when I press space bar or place my curser on the clips .. something like time in status bar of any media player like VLC.
Thanks
Adi

Hi Adi,
You may have worked something out by now, but try the following:
From iMovie's menu select View>Playhead Info. In both the Events and Projects windows, as you skim across thumbnails you will see a black box with white text moving above the playhead. In Events, it will show just the creation date and time for each clip, which will not provide the information you need. However, in Projects, the box will show the elapsed time as well as the time recorded (shown incrementally).
So, I would suggest that you drag the full 15 minutes to the project. Now you will be able to find the exact time for each part you need for the project. Click and drag across the first section required (say 1:15 - 1:37) so that it is highlighted with a yellow border. Now control-click (or right-click) and select "Split Clip" from the pop-up menu. Continue to do this for any other sections you need to split from the main clip (or clips).
Finally, control-click (or right-click) on all the parts you don't need and select "Delete Selection" from the pop-up menu. The clips remaining in the project will be just those parts you've split from the full video.
TIP: In iMovie's menu select iMovie>Preferences and check (tick) the box labelled "Display time as HH:MM:SS:Frames". Now all times will be displayed down to the frame level.

The format you use is not supported. There is lots of tool
which output these files,
from digital cameras to actual video editing applications.
Each uses different
compressions etc... acceptable by QT player but not by Flash.
Try to save as it with different setting and than try to
import it to flash.

Adding more than one music clip/track to a project

I add the first music clip/track just fine and place it where I want it and it positions itself below the frames. When I go to add the next clip/track, it won't place where I want it. It always goes to the beginning of the project and it "surrounds" the video clips in a large purple frame. I can move it downstream to where I want it, but it never "places" underneath the video frames like the first clip/track. What am I doing wrong?

Drop it on the video clip, not between clips or above the clips.

How can I incorporate several video and audio clips into one iMovie project?

Hello all. Basically, I'm trying to solve a problem before it becomes one. I'm going to put together a short iMovie project for a thank-you dinner. Several people from out-of-town will not be able to make the dinner. I want to give them the opportunity to "speak" by having them put together a short video or audio clip. I then need to gather up all the clips and put them together in one iMovie project. I guess I'm looking for some assistance in terms of format, what types of files/formats to use, etc. I've done a few movies (mainly from still pictures -- glorified slideshows with music). But, I'm still a relative neophyte when it comes to the computer world. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. (feel free to point to a "How to " tutorial if there's a good one out there).
Thanks.

your problem will not be the process of 'glueing stuff together'
follow advice given here
http://www.apple.com/support/imovie/
under 'Getting started' or follow the 'Video' tutorials ...
the real task is, to make all clips readable for usage in iM ...
before making you a technician on video-codecs:
download and install the free tools Mpeg Streamclip and Perian.org
you have to relaunch your Mac after doing so...-
BEFORE adding any of your external sources into an Event, use Streamclip to manually convert to DV, or if source is HDef, to Quicktime/Appleintermediate.
the resulting files should import flawless into iM, proceed as usual.
iM 'swallows' a lot of formats, so it could be this manual conversion isn't needed ...
don't hesitate to come back here, if probs occur ...

My current os x is 10.9.5, using final cut express vers. 4.0.1. I have imported .mov clips created with a older mac os x (lion) and converted them to import into fce. after doing this as well as putting clips on the fce timeline when playing back t.h

My current os x is 10.9.5, using final cut express vers. 4.0.1. I have imported .mov clips created on a older mac os x (lion) and when I wanted to import them into fce, a quicktime conversion window opened up and converted them (I haven't experienced this in the past). I then imported the converted quicktime clips into my fce project. After doing this I took selected clips and put those edited clips on the fce timeline. When playing the video back in the fce timeline,I noticed
1) the video wasn't playing back smoothly like the original content
2) when looking at the timecode reading of the timeline, the timecode was sputtering as well as the video and audio. I exported to quicktime just to see if that was consistent, it was.
When I play the converted quicktime content independently of fce, it plays normally (no sputtering of timecode, video and audio. Need help to resolve the sputtering playback of converted video content in the fce timeline. I've never experienced this before. Any suggestions?

When you say you converted the clips before importing them into FCE, did you convert to AIC or DV and do the converted clips match your FCE Sequence settings exactly? If not, go back and convert the original files again, using the intended Sequence settings as a guide.
