Insert pictures and video

Hello,
How can I insert videocuts into a show I recorded myself? I am in the studio, presenting a show and during the presentation I want to show pictures and video to the audience.
* I wil first record the show in our studio
* And then I insert pictures and video on certain places in the recorded show.
Is this possible in Imovie 8 or in one of the older imovies.
Or must I use finalcut for this?
Thanks! Richard - The Netherlands

Hello, Richard,
I have not used iMovie 8 much, so don't know about doing this in that version, but you can easily do this in iMovie HD 6.
I am not sure exactly how you want to do this. It depends on whether you want to place those photos and other video clips OVER the recorded show, so that the audio from the recorded show plays while the photos and videos are displayed, or if you want to have them ADDED in the midst of the recorded show.
If you just want to insert photos and videos in the midst of your recorded show, first import your recorded show into iMovie6. Put it in the timeline. Move the playhead to the point where you want the first photo, and do a 'split video at playhead' command, drag the photos/videos to the time line there. They will be added between the split video clips. Repeat for all the photos/videos.
It sounds as if the option you want is 'Paste Over at Playhead' which allows the photos and videos you add to be seen over the recorded show, so that the audio plays continually. In tv and movies this is done when someone is talking about something and then there is a 'cut-away' to a photo or video clip of whatever the person is describing so the audience can visualize what he is saying while he is speaking.
Here are instructions for doing that from iMovie HD6 Help:
*Inserting video clips or photos in a passage while maintaining running audio*
+You can paste a new video clip or photo over an existing clip while retaining the audio from the original clip. The video cuts away to a new picture, but you continue to hear the sound from the original clip.+
+To replace images in a clip while maintaining running audio:+
+Choose iMovie HD > Preferences, and then click General.+
+Select the "Extract audio when using Paste Over at Playhead" checkbox.+
+Select the video or photo that you want to insert.+
+Choose Edit > Cut or Copy.+
+Do one of the following:+
+To paste the entire video you selected in step 3, position the playhead at the first frame to be replaced. When you paste the clip, it will replace a portion of video equal to its length.+
+To paste over a specific segment of your movie, select the part of the video clip you want to paste over. (To learn more about selecting part of a video clip, see Related Topics below.)+
+If the video you're pasting is longer than the selected frame range, the excess video will not be pasted. If the video you're pasting is shorter than the selected frame range, the extra space will be filled with a color clip (or the still image, if you paste a still image).+
+Choose Advanced > "Paste Over at Playhead."+
+The audio track of the original video is retained and appears in audio track 1 of the timeline viewer.+
Post back if this does not address what you are trying to do.

  • Updated iPad2 to iOS 6 and lost all pictures and videos

    I updated my roomate's iPad 2 days ago, following the instructions of a friend with years of Apple experience.
    He explained that I would need to install iTunes on my laptop (a newer Asus running Win7) and that just plugging the iPad in would start an automatic process of backing up and updating.
    Being from the PC world, I wanted to make sure we would be safe. I asked if I needed to copy pictures to my laptop or pc first, and he said that iTunes defaults to backing up first, then running the update.
    Of course this makes sense, but erring on caution, I was very specific in wanting to make absolutely sure.
    So I get the laptop ready. I plug in the iPad, it's immediately discovered and a window pops up saying there is an update for the iPad, and would I like to update now.
    I pressed the button yes, or ok, I don't remember exactly what the vernacular was.
    The lengthy process began.... with a status bar and activity..... took about 20 minutes.
    After it was done, it said so. I don't remember the dialog box wording at that point exactly.
    I pushed the home button on the iPad and it had the normal grey lock screen, opened it, and all of her apps were there, her email showed she had email,
    but when i looked in the pictures folder, it was empty.
    Thought perhaps they would appear later from iTunes. ( I didn't know at this point that she had never backed up or used iTunes for anything other than the initial activation and for her old iPhone that died several months ago)
    Called my Apple friend, he said maybe I unplugged the iPad before it was able to restore things to the iPad.
    So I started iTunes, attached the iPad , right clicked on "Tiffany's ipad" and went into the Backup section. There it says that the iPad was never backed up on this computer in bold text. And the option to restore from backup is grayed out.
    I call my expert friend again. He has me look for backup files on the laptop, utilizing an application called 'iExplore'. went to 'device' section and there is a box that will show all backup files found on the pc. That box was empty.
    What's tragic, is, this poor lady, unbeknownst to me, had been using her iPad as a picture and video dump for ALL of her child's pictures and vids for over a year. Without telling me. She is not a technical person.
    Had I known this, I would have backed it up manually myself, before the update and all along. I would have made her do it. But I had no idea. I assumed she was plugging it in to her Dell Laptop.. but she never did.
    I've run 2 'recovery' programs I got from online that scan for deleted files, but they don't show any of the hundreds of pictures and videos she had, Im sure because it was wiped, not deleted. 
    All attempts to locate a large backup file on my laptop have come up empty.
    She is extremely and unbelievably broken up about this, as am I. I'm furious with Apple for not making the BACKUP stage of the process more tenacious, and with more pop up warnings so that this kind of thing cannot happen. Had I seen that, I would have used an application to MANUALLY copy her stuff.... even though at the time I had NO IDEA she was using her iPad as her ONLY repository for all of her precious media.
    Folks, this is a life changing horror for her, and me. I love this woman's little boy as my own, and as a single mom, she was depending on me as a friend in this matter. If I cannot retrieve these images and vids, I fear she will never forgive me, as I'm the 'tech guy' who always has had the answers for everything in the past, and failed her on the most important tech issue in her life, her little boy's life in pictures.
    Please, where can I send this iPad for forensic recovery of these images.
    I've powered the iPad down until further notice to avoid writing additionally on the internal flash memory.
    Thanks,
    Lu Johnson

    Doesn't sound like you have iCloud? If not, then no, you are out of luck....

  • I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • How do I save pictures and videos taken on my i-phone to my pc or backup storage device?

    Hello, I am trying to save my pictures and videos that I have taken on my i-phone to my computer or some sort of backup device.  I am afraid in case my i-phone is lost or broken that I will have no permanent record of precious family footage.  What about saving these to a jump drive or disc as well. Thanks for your help.

    You can connect your iPhone to your computer and a Autoplay dialogue box will pop up, select 'import pictures and videos'.  Follow the prompts and this will transfer your pictures and videos to your computer.
    Alternatively, if your iPhone is updated with IOS 5, you can activate iCloud account on your iPhone, turn on 'Photo Stream', then install iCloud control panel onto your computer and sign in with your iCloud account and turn on photo stream.

  • My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll?

    My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years  and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll, the applications can be redownloaded and she had no music. Is there any known bug about ipods locking on their own because no one seemed to have tried to bypass the 4 digit code and it is locked for 26 million minutes.So thank you if anyone has any information or help for us.

    Your friend may have placed the ipod next to an object that repeatedly pressed the screen.  Under certain circumstances this can lead to what appears to the iTouch to be failed attempts to access the system.  After repeated failed attempts, the Touch increases the waiting time required for the password and may ultimately lock in the way you describe.
    It's been a while since this was posted, but this might be informative to someone else who finds themself in a similar predicament.

  • HT4623 lost all my pictures and videos while updating ios7.1.1. i dont have backup to restore. how can i recover the data back?

    lost all my pictures and videos while updating ios7.1.1.
    i dont have backup to restore. how can i recover the data back?

    You should never update without making sure that you have saved everything on your computer first.
    You should import all pics and vids before attempting any update.
    If you have failed to save the data, then it is gone

  • How do I transfer my pictures and videos from my iPhone and IPad on the time capsule?

    How do I transfer my pictures and videos from my Iphone and IPad onto my time capsule?

    You cannot use Apple TV.. again the TC is not a media device and has no media extensions.
    You can store video files on the TC.. but the ATV must work either via airplay so you run the video on an ipad for instance and send the screen view to the apple tv or you have itunes running on a computer.
    BTW a WD live TV can play video files from a TC.. because it is a true media player.. the Apple TV is not a media player.. it is a streamer.

  • Insert picture and sound without external sources

    how can we insert pictures and sound without using external sources??
    i mean , i want to make the picture somehow embeded inside the program, not from external source,
    can any1 help?/

    I sense that what you need to do is create a Jar (java archive) file for your code and images and any other resources. Do a search on the forum for the terms -- jar pictures getresource -- and you'll get a ton of helpful threads. Also check Google. Some useful links:

  • How to transfer the picture and video from ipad to pc

    I want to transfer the picture and video from ipad to pc while we restoring the ipad?

    To copy photos and videos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page -  on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard.
    To copy photos and videos in the Photos app that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
    If you are going to restore to your last backup then you may also want to copy any purchases from the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases.

  • Hi... I am looking for an inexpensive app for my macbook pro that I can put pictures and videos together into a slideshow with captions and music WITHOUT a watermark and that also will burn the slideshow to a DVD in its own app. Help?

    The issue with the A1400 is that like most economy compact cameras, they will not have very fast focus times in indoor lighting situations. Many people have gone to entry level DSLR's (Canon T3i) or micro 4/3 cameras. They are fairly expensive, but a late model refurbished T3i can sometimes be found with a kit lens for about $300.00. With Auto and scene modes, as well as full manual modes, these are very versatile cameras that focus very quickly, even in lower lighting situations. Canon is not really into the micro 4/3 cameras, instead they are focusing on the new G7x and G1x cameras, which are way out of your price range. The A720 is still available used at some places such as KEH camera, but you'll need to check often as their stock changes constantly. Obviously the DSLR's don't use AA batteries, but the T3i is good for about 600 photos (or more) per charge.
    My refurbished DSLR was practically brand new condition when I got it. I could not find any sign of wear at all, so I feel they are a real bargain. These are rugged cameras that are made to last. The A1400 is a $99.00 camera, so it's not intended for heavy usage, plus the image quality of a DSLR (even entry level) is far better than the A1400. That would be my recommendation.

  • IPhone5 no longer importing pictures and videos correctly

    I have been able to import pictures and videos from my iPhone 5 to my Windows 7 Pro computer for the last 2 years.  However, a few months ago, I couldn't get the iPhone to appear on the computer, so I went into Device Manager and Uninstalled the driver, then plugged the phone in again to let it reinstall the driver.  That worked, but now when I try to download again, everything on my computer (browsing on windows, windows import manager, Sony Play Memories) says that there are no files to import.  I can take pictures and videos and when I try again, I get the same message, so it's certainly not true.  If I browse to the files using explorer, I go to Computer >> Apple iPhone  and Internal Storage shows 383 MB free of 14.7 GB.  When I browse further down to Internal Storage >> DCIM, the folder is blank.  I tried the same trick of deleting and reinstalling the drivers with the same results.  I don't know what else to try.

    I solved my own problem.  Apparently, you now have to log into (unlock) the phone for it to work.  That was not the case on some earlier version of IOS.

  • How do you date and time stamp pictures and videos using a EOS Rebel T3?

    I am needing to utilize date and time stamping on videos and photos in my work.  The pictures and videos must display time, a date, and reference number.  I have gone through the cd, owner's manuel and software manuel and I am unclear if I can perform this function. 

    While this is a relatively common feature on point & shoot cameras -- where the photo is thought of as a snapshot to document a memory in a person's life, among DSLR cameras it's not very common (I don't actually know of a DSLR that does this though I don't doubt that it may exist).  DSLR users are usually expecting a higher quality image -- so now the image is thought of more like art and less like a snapshot and the date/time in the corner distracts from the image.  Also they tend to be more advanced users who would be able to modify the image themselves so they have little need for such a feature.
    The camera does record the date & time... but it's in the EXIF data (information recorded into the image file but not displayed).  
    SO... there are programs that will just do this.  You'll need to do a search (I found several but have never tried one so I can't vouch for them).  I think there are Photoshop plug-ins that do this (assuming you have Photoshop). These programs allow you to define the info you want printed (including EXIF data such as date/time) and you get to pick the location, font, size, color, etc. and ultimately the location on the image where you'd like the info displayed.  They then add the info visibly onto the image for you and most support "batch" use (e.g. drop a whole folder of images on it and they'll do them all.)

  • Iphone 5s was stolen - can i get my pictures and videos back

    I was recently in Barcelona, Spain with my high school travel club when my iphone 5s was stolen. The last time i had backed up my phone was not since 2012. I am sick as i had over 1,000 pictures and 30 videos from our trip. Some people told me that even though my iphone hadn't been backed up, i had my "streamed photos" that i would still be able to get back? If there is still absolutely any way to get my pictures and videos back, please let me know. It would be very much appreciated! Thank you.
