Importing QuickTime with all markers preserved

I'm an FCE newbie (never used iMovie) who is starting to work on converting 16 years of 8mm analog and digital tapes to dvd - starting with the early analog stuff. I have mega hours, or rather hundreds of giga-bytes, of unwanted video (baby's first drool etc.). I have gone through about the first 10 hours of video and knocked it down to 2 hours. I noticed I can export my big sequence as a QuickTime and have it save all my markers while I'm at it. The problem is that when I start up a fresh FCE and import that QuickTime movie it just comes in as one lump and none of the markers I originally had are present. It's my intention to delete the original footage and just use the exported QuickTime - but the loss of markers is killing that idea. And I still have plenty of editable meat in that QuickTime too. I went to the File->Import to read in the QT file but still no markers! Can anybody help me out with what I'm doing wrong?
Mick.

Sorry - I should have explained more of the details. I have video tapes from several sources - my own, friends, relatives etc. in both VHS and 8mm analog. It was a BIG job to capture all the different sources and chronologically align all the various clips I wanted from all the various sources. This is my first FCE use, and I'm sure I probably did a dumb thing here. I have a single sequence that is about 3.5 hours long. It's probably too long, but I certainly know I don't need the all the duplicate footage that I haven't used so I'd like to get rid of it and use the over 100GB disk space for further captures. So I intended to export my 3.5 hour sequence with markers and after a successful re-import then delete all the original footage. When I select export from the menu, it specifically says I can save ALL markers with the QT movie. Then when I later do the import I get NO markers at all. Now I don't know what to do! So here are a couple questions (if you don't mind).
1. What is the approx max movie time I can get on a single layer dvd using iDVD - I'd like to know how best to split up my 3.5 hour sequence.
2. If I select some of my 3.5 hour video and paste it into a new FCE project then none of the markers are pasted and it looks like I have to make them all over again. How can I copy the markers along with the movie?
3. On a related issue, if I select a portion of the movie in the timeline and delete a slice via in/out points, the movie gap automatically closes BUT the markers do not. The markers do not seem to be coupled to the movie at all and that simply makes no sense to me.
Sorry for being so inexperienced here, but I would truly appreciate any assistance.

  • Importing Quicktime with Flash codec

    I wanted to put a Flash cartoon I made into my iMovie, so I published into Quicktime. It worked fine when I opened it in Quicktime but when I try to import it into iMovie the import progress bar flashes briefly then dissapears then after that nothing changes in my movie or in my clips bar. It seems to think changes have been made as it asks me to save before I quit.
    Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

  • Export / import tablespace with all objects (datas, users, roles)

    Hi, i have a problem or question to the topic export / import tablespace.
    On the one hand, i have a database 10g (A) and on the other hand, a database 11g (B).
    On A there is a tablespace called PRO.
    Furthermore 3 Users:
    PRO_Main - contains the datas - Tablespace PRO
    PRO_Users1 with a role PRO_UROLE - Tablespace PRO
    PRO_Users2 with a role PRO_UROLE - Tablespace PRO
    Now, i want to transfer the whole tablespace PRO (included users PRO_MAIN, PRO_USER1, PRO_User2 and the role PRO_UROLE) from A to B.
    On B, I 've created the user PRO_Main and the tablespace PRO.
    On A , i execute following statement:
    expdp PRO_Main/XXX TABLESPACES=PRO DIRECTORY=backup_datapump DUMPFILE=TSpro.dmp LOGFILE=TSpro.log
    On B:
    impdp PRO_Main/XXX TABLESPACES=PRO DIRECTORY=backup_datapump DUMPFILE=TSpro.dmp LOGFILE=TSpro.log
    Result:
    The User PRO_Main was imported with all the datas.
    But i 'm missing PRO_USER1, PRO_User2 and the role PRO_UROLE...
    I assume, i 've used wrong parameters in my expd and / or impdp.
    It would be nice, if anybody can give me a hint.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Frank

    When you do a TABLESPACE mode export by specifying just the tablespaces, then all that gets exported are the tables and their dependent objects. The users, roles, and the tablespace definitions themselves don't get exported.
    When you do a SCHEMA mode export by specifying the schemas, you will get the schema definitions (if the schema running the export is privied) and all of the objects that the schema owns. The schema does not own roles or tablespace definitions.
    In your case, you want to move
    1. schemas - which you already created 1 on your target database
    2. roles
    3. everything in the tablespaces owned by multiple schemas.
    There is no 1 export/import command that will do this. This is how i would do this:
    1 - move the schema definitions
    a. you can either create these manually or
    b1. expdp schemas=<your list of schemas> include=user
    b2 impdp the results from b1.
    2. move the roles
    expdp full=y include=role ...
    remember, this will include all roles. If you want to limit what gets exported, then use:
    include=role:"in ('ROLE1', 'ROLE2', ETC.)
    impdo the roles just exported
    3. move the user information
    a. If you want to move all of the schema's objects like functions, packages, etc, then you need to use a schema mode
    export
    expdp user/password schemas=a,b,c ...
    b. If you want to move only the objects in those tablespaces, then use the tablespace export
    expdp user/password tablespaces=tbs1, tbs2, ...
    c. import the dumpfile generated in step 3
    impdp user/password ...
    Hope this helps.

  • Import QuickTime with Alpha channel into Flash CS3

    Is it possible to import a QuickTime movie with alpha channel into an FLA and have the FLA recognize the Alpha channel? When I've done this, it just shows opaque black instead of an alpha channel. I need that black to be transparent so I can see the layers below the video layer.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I don't know the answer to your question.
    Do you have a video player where you can verify that the alpha channel in the video is displaying as you expect?.... that is, the background is transparent?
    I have used flv files with alpha and a NetStream vid player to overlay Flash video on a Web page.... but not directly in the timeline.:
    http://www.mrfilmbiz.com/
    the walkon... could have had other action (like Flash artwork) going on in the background... but that may not really be what you are looking for.
    But lacking any other solutions, you could have your alpha channel vid file playing in one Flash file over the top of a second Flash file doing the artwork stuff.

  • Import Quicktime with Quality

    I have a Quicktime movie with the following setting that can be adjusted to solve my problem:
    Format: MPEG4-Video, 800x600, Millions
    FPS: 8.19
    Data Size: 28.71
    Data Rate: 3087.36
    I've imported this movie into the Clips area of a MPEG4 iMovie, and also a DV iMovie from the option at the begining of creating a new project. Both seem to import the quicktime movie in such a way as to loose the quality, the DV option not as bad as the MPEG4, but still not as good as the original.
    How do I get the quality to stay? Is it the dimentions of the original? Or something else I can change to keep the quality?
    Thank you in advance.
    iMac (20" Intel)   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    These are two different applications and the same format and codec will not be suitable for both.
    For VCD the most common format is MPEG-1. MPEG-2 is not suitable for VCD playback. MPEG-4 might work.
    Web delivery is dependent on who you expect to view the material. I would use H.264, but it requires the user have QT7. MPEG-2 is not suitable for web delivery. It's designed for full fame size and frame rate. You need to compress the data to a smaller format for that. 320x240 at 115 or 12fps is probably still the most common fromat. H.264 allows browser scaling and scales very well so you can have a small file size which displays at a larger format very well. It also compresses very well a full frame rate and sizes like 480, but it does require a fast computer and a wide pipe for download.

  • Export/import text with all styles (indesign CS3 (XP SP2))

    I'm looking for the best way to export text so authors can edit their text using MS Word, Excel or xml. (they don't want to use Indesign). after they are done editting I want to import the text back into Indesign (with par, char, obj styles).
    I know how to import/export to .doc with styles, but this doesn't work for table, object styles, and page breaks.
    Xml tags or plugin/software might be a solution.
    I've searched the forums, google and read the help file, but still don't know what the best/quickest solution might be. ... ?
    thanks in advance

    1. Those programs don't support every feaature of InDesign, so you are out of luck.
    2. If they don't want to use InDesign, ask them to use InCopy, that is the only one programm which supports the whole InDesgin-functionlity
    3. Page breaks should never be done manually, never in Word, neither with InDesign. They should be created via paragraph styles in both program, but with the import options is a checker to get Word's page breaks.

  • Missing with chapter markers after Export Using QuickTime Conversion

    I have my FCE workflow setup as follows:
    I create the sequences using relatively large video source files, in Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC).
    Then, I use Export -> Using QuickTime Conversion to H.264 Codec, but my chapter markers are lost.
    If I use Export -> QuickTime Movie, the chapter markers are preserved, but the codec is still AIC.
    I need a compressed file with chapter markers. What am I missing?

    One more time: "Where are you looking at the exported file? After making a DVD or somewhere else?"
    Can you answer this for me? How are you looking at this material? Off the DVD you've burned? Is that what you're saying? Comparing the QuickTime Movie export to a DVD burned from a PhotoJPEG export? Or are you playing it from the computer to HDMI? If so are you using the QuickTime player? Is the QT player set to high quality playback? Yes, PhotoJPEG (not JPEG Photo) is a very large file especially at full quality. You probably don't need any more than 75% quality. I'd be very surprised if you say you can see the difference between 75% and 100%.
    The length of the video is important not the size of the disc. iDVD's compression is fixed by the length of movie and the amount of content that has to be encoded.

    trying to export a 4 minute video to desktop.  Only 1:08 seconds exports.  I've tried other clips and they all cut at 1:08.  Used different exports like Quicktime with the same results.

    Good to hear that you've had some success with the import.
    I tried 3 times to do it before I finally changed it to H.264, and it worked on the first try.  The quality of the compression was terrible with those settings compared to my standard settings, but I'm just glad it worked.
    Rather than Share>Export using QuickTime and then choosing your own settings for H.264, you may get a better result if you simply use the Share>Export Movie option. Alternatively, use the Share>Media Browser option (as I mentioned in my earlier post). You will be presented with a range of sizes to choose from. Depending on your target, it's usually best to select the highest size available, such as Large, HD 720p or HD 1080p. However, for producing a DVD it's best to not go beyond the HD 720p size, as the DVD will be downscaled during encoding to Standard Definition in the appropriate size for either PAL or NTSC.
    In my experience, both these options (Export Movie or Media Browser) produce a video file of excellent quality. The files will be in H.264 format and will have the file extension .mov or .m4v depending on the size of the export. I'm assuming that your camera records HD video in AVCHD format.
    These files work well with iDVD (or other DVD authoring programs). The export process for the presets is optimised by Apple to produce high quality video files at a reasonable file size. So, selecting a preset may give you a much better result. Choosing your own H.264 settings when using the "Export using QuickTime" method could be why "the compression was terrible". You may have selected a data (bit) rate that was too low. There is always a trade-off between quality and file size when compressing video.
    So, to summarise, try one of the Apple presets using either Share>Export Movie or Share>Media Browser.

  • Batch-importing images in sync with audio/markers

    I am trying to create a sequence that displays hundreds of images in succession. I want the images to change according to the speed/mood/beat of the music that plays at that moment. For example, changing to the next image every time the kickdrum is heard. I am talking about a rapid succession of images, many of them will only show for a couple of frames. So basically I am looking for a way to accomplish this as fast as possible.
    This is what I've come up with.
    First, I'll listen to the song and edit my preferences so that in the "General" tab, the "Still Image Default Duration" is set to the number of frames that would best sync up with the tempo/beat of the song.
    Next I'll listen to the song again in the "Source" panel and whilst playing it I'll set markers using the m keyboard shortuct where I'll want the images to change. If necessary, I'll listen to it again at half-speed or zooming in a lot and fine-tune the position of the markers until I am happy.
    Then I'll import the song to my timeline, along with all of my images, which of course will not be in sync with the markers. So I'll basically use the "Ripple Edit Tool" with all of my images, and individually set the in and out points of every single image so that they 'snap' to the markers.
    Finally I'll fine-tune again the in and out points of the images, performing ripple deletes and doing minor adjustments.
    Is there a way to speed up this workflow? Maybe a way so that when I import all of the images to the timeline, they'll sync automatically their in and out points with the position of the markers?
    Thanks. I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.

    I've never used it, but the Automate to Sequence feature has the option to add clips at the Unnumbered Markers.

    I have a ton of documents and databases in AppleWorks v 6.0 that I can no longer open on my MacBook Pro.  Is there any way to recover this info?  Some documents can be opened and resaved with textedit, but not my database with all important addresses.

    I tried Peggy's List > Select All > Copy > Paste into an AW spreadsheet suggestion.
    In my case, pasting into the spreadsheet lost all text formatting (mostly text set to bold). The results of formulas were pasted, and checkboxes were pasted as "on" or "off". The DB did not contain any pop-up menus or radio buttons, but I expect they would transfer as a number showing the list position of the chosen item.
    Pasting the copied List view data into a Numbers table gave a result similar to that with AppleWorks. I selected B2 as the target cell (for top left cell of the pasted data) to avoid any effects of posting into a header row or column. Bold and regular text formatting looked the same as it had in AW's List view.
    Based on that, I'd slip the 'paste into an AppleWorks Spreadsheet step, and paste directly into a Numbers Table.

  • Importing shared calendar with all posted items

    We have a shared calendar with all our area events, which exists in my account, but now we wish - as a matter of urgency - to export this (with all its posted events) to a generic account, which can be updated by a few named employees - and not be tied to one user's account. Unfortunately, when I import the ics file into the generic account it appears with no contents. It seems that I will have to create a new blank calendar in the generic account, and share it's contents with all my colleagues again. Please can anyone confirm if this is so, or explain what I need to do to make it happen.
    Thank you,
    Ted.

    Aplogies. I have finally worked this out. Since I am the owner of the shared area calendar, only I have the right to add, edit or delete calendar items, but can allow those rights to other accounts. To move all calendar items, as advised, I shared the calendar (right-click on calendar in folder list, and select "Sharing") with the generic account by entering that account in the Name box, clicking the "Add User" button. Then I selected the account, now in the list of shared accounts, ticked the add, edit and, crucially, the delete box. The latter enabled me to move items from one calendar to another in the generic account, after setting the properties of both to detail view. One thing that can't be done is transfer the shared-with list, so I guess I'll need to re-share with all area staff. Thanks Danita. I got there in the end!

  • Danke, LeonieDF, I imported a Garageband song from my iPad app with all 8 tracks full, now I want to put on vocal

    I imported a Garageband song from my iPad app with all 8 tracks full, now I want to put on vocal & guitar tracks but it won't let me. Also I have always problems when opening Garageband as I had an external hard drive connected to my Macbook Pro when I first downloaded it. It won't open without the external drive being plugged in. It says invalid instrument library and so on. I have tried trashing the program then reloading it nothing works; so I can't use Garageband unless the external is attached. I was also trying to send the song to Logic 8 but I can't find a video tutorial or relevant info in the manual; although I am thinking of updating Logic to the latest version. AAAGHH!!

    Thank you, that's very helpful.
    I was able to get this to work for deleting single song, but it simply ignored me when I tried to delete whole albums or artists. As there are many thousands of Christmas tracks, deleting one by one was not an option.
    When I first started to research this I was not able to find any posts on the subject (because I did not know about the left swipe to delete gesture and so did not search for it). Now that I know I found this post which gives a number of different ways to do this:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-1276850.html
    At first I tried this option:
    If you are trying to batchdelete all music on an iOS device, it can be done.
    1) Settings > General > Usage
    2) Let the Storage settings load.
    3) Click on Music...on next screen, swipe anddelete.
    That does zap everything, but it suited my purposes. At first I though this was working, lots of tracks started to go back into the cloud (although this does not happen allat once, it seems to do it in the background over a period of time). The usage screen said I had free space on the iPad, but when I plugged it into iTunes the iPad showed as full and the tracks were all still listed under music.
    So I tried this:
    You can turn off iTunesmatch and then sync a very small number of tracks via iTunes, which shouldreplace the downloaded tracks with the synced tracks. Then turn Match back on.It's a pain but that is the only way I have found to mass delete.
    Which did the trick, but is something of a nuclear option.
    Looks like Apple have some work to do here. Deleting a track at a time or everything in one go is too clumsy. You need to be able to delete Albums, Artists or Genres in the sameway you can delete songs. I wish there was a way of reporting bugs like this to Apple, but short of signing up to be a developer, there does not seem to be away. If anyone reading this is a developer, perhaps you can get a paste the text into a bug report.
