Is there any way to use Compressor 4 with iMovie '11?

I'm a student filmmaker without the money for Final Cut Pro X. Footage from my Canon VIXIA HF S20 (AVCHD format) looks just about perfect when I import it into iMovie and when I cut together a project. However, when I finalize the project, the darker hues in my footage always come out pixelated and crappy. Whether it's 1080p or 480p, this is always the case.
I've been told that Compressor 4 does a much better job of encoding and exporting, but it's completely integrated with Final Cut Pro X and not iMovie. Is there any way I can take raw project files from iMovie and export them using Compressor? Or must I be forced to save up for Final Cut Pro X?

You should be able to use Compressor with iMovie - it's a standalone app - but, of course, there will be no "Send To" buttons. But I really doubt that it will help you much.

Finalizing means that iMovie renders your video in different sizes. Have you tried to export or "Share to Media Browser"?

  • Is there any way to use video with the new Flash CC HTML5 Canvas?

    I am a long time Flash user trying to determine if this new version of the program is something to add to the workflow again (after the last several years of not being able to use it) and the tutorials I have seen are not well written. Is there a way to use a video file within the animation, like with the AS2 and AS3 versions of Flash where I could insert a video clip into a symbol and animate the symbol while the video played.
    What I need to know is what format of video file I should use and how to add it into the timeline since Flash does not seem to be allowing for any type of import for this.
    Any Thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Brett

    Ok, so there are limitations, are they written down somewhere? I have been looking for a list of do and do not functions and the ways to work around them. Are they in the documentation somewhere I haven't discovered?
    Right now all I am looking to do is create Classic Tweens that animate movement and opacity so I can create a presentation with video that includes these elements. Is that level of functionality available in the HTML5 Canvas, or is that still on the drawing board?
    Is there a specific name for what I am looking to do that would aid my search? HTML5 video is not enough since the answer has not been forthcoming in Google or on Adobe or Stack Overflow. I am starting to think that nobody has thought of this yet, or if they have they decided that it is not currently possible and skipped the part where the rest of us find out.
    Any thoughts on making the connection to either doing this or finding out that it is just not possible yet would be very helpful.

    Internet Explorer is not available for Mac.
    But you can make Safari pretend to be Internet Explorer in some cases.
        Safari > Preference > Advanced
        Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
        "Develop" menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
        Click Develop, move mouse down to "User Agent".
        Select Internet Explorer from popup on the rightside.
        After using Internet Explorer, revert back to Safari, doing the same routine.

  • HT3702 Is there any way to use a pre-paid Visa card with my iTunes account?

    I just received a prepaid Visa card as a gift and tried to use this card as payment info on my iTunes account.  This didn't work, I suspect because there is no billing address associated with the card.  Is there any way to use the card like this?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Apple should read this stuff once in a while.
    Some prepaid cards appear to act as credit cards to the merchant. If yours is one of them it should work, but debit cards are not accepted for the iTunes Store.
    Can you use a pre-paid credit card from Wal-Mart?
    Do you mean an iTunes Card, the kind sold at Wal-Mart? Sure, that will work.
    "Pre-paid" and "credit" are mutually exclusive.
    I believe this way of thinking about it ought to be valid: if you need a PIN code, the card won't work.
    I don't use debit cards so I can't be certain if this will apply consistently, but let me know if that makes sense.

  • Is there any way to contact verizon with a detailed cell phone technical support question?

    Is there any way to contact Verizon with a detailed cell phone technical support question?  I prefer e-mail so as to provide details (like I am trying to provide here).  I have tried in-store personnel (no help at all) and the web chat - they just want to see me more data instead of helping me with my basic problem!
    I CAN NOT GET ANYONE FROM VERIZON TO GIVE ME ANY HELP NOR CAN I FIND A WAY TO FILE A COMPLAINT.  AT THIS POINT I JUST WANT TO DROP MY VERIZON ACCOUNT BUT I'M SURE THAT IT WILL COST ME A SMALL FORTUNE TO GET OUT OF IT.
    Here is my issue:
    Chat transcript removed as required by the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service
    BELOW IS A SCREEN COPY FROM REDDIT ABOUT SOMEONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A VERIZON CELL PHONE
    So last night my RAZR MAXX HD did something totally bewildering by spontaneously downloading 2.6 GB of data over the course of ~ 3 hours. Fortunately I was able to catch this problem before it ended up being really expensive, but I still exceeded my 2 GB data plan by 600MB.
    The Culprits:
    Reddit News Free: 160 MB foreground / 0.96 GB background
    Android OS: 0 MB foreground / 1.18 GB background
    Several unnamed applications: ~ 350 MB
    Screenshots:
    The massive data spike
    Android OS data usage
    Reddit News Free data usage
    Weird unnamed processes
    Detailed timeline:
    5:12 PM: Incident begins according to VZW data usage website (2.60410 GB used). This is around the last time that I used my phone at the laundromat before getting dinner and watching Game of Thrones.
    8:04 PM: 50% of data allowance used (txt msg)
    8:31 PM: 75% of data allowance used (txt msg)
    8:58 PM: 90% of data allowance used (txt msg)
    9:13 PM: 100% of data allowance used (txt msg)
    10:05 PM: Got the text messages and immediately put the phone into airplane mode
    10:30 PM: Took screenshots
    10:45 PM: Enabled wifi, installed Kaspersky premium. Scan returned no threats.
    11:00 PM: Left phone in airplane mode, went to sleep.
    The questions:
    What was the root cause of this issue? Did Reddit News freak out as a result of an esoteric bug or was my phone hacked?
    If this was a simple Reddit News bug, then why was the Android OS also trying to use such a massive amount of background data?
    What the hell are these unnamed numeric applications? I've inspected my process history and this is the first time they have ever attempted to use data.
    I'm pretty sure that I can explain this situation to Verizon and get out of having to pay additional data usage fees, but I would like to know more about the problem before I get in touch with them.

    All I can think is your phone may have background downloaded an OTA update, and you'd then be prompted with something like, "As update to your Android system has been downloaded, would you like to install it now?"
    I do find it very odd that the update would be 2.6GB. As a rough base, the CyanogenMod 10.1 firmware for your device is well under 200MB, so unless Verizon has a ****-ton of bloatware in the update, or it had to attempt to download multiple times for some reason, it may be a stretch.
    But doing a little homework, it looks like the Verizon Razr Maxx was updated to 4.1 in late March. Maybe they're still rolling it out in waves? Have you gotten the update yet?
    Edit: Aaaand I just noticed you appear to be running an AOSP-based ROM, which totally rules out a carrier update being sent out.
    Edit2: If you want to live dangerously, you could try running:
    #kill -9 12289
    That 12289 is the PID listed in your screenshot. But don't run that without fulling understanding the kill command.
    The ps command could also be of use, but probably not.

    I can confirm that the phone is currently at 4.1.2 and that I wasn't prompted for an OTA update.The fact that both the Android OS and Reddit News processes were simultaneously using an extremely large amount of data is unlikely to be a coincidence...

    That is very curious that the spikes happened at the same time.I'm curious. It may have put at least some of that 2.6GB somewhere. You could use a data visualizer tool to see if you can find it, which may lead to more clues.

    The largest directories are:
    DCIM: Normal looking photos (90,825 KB)
    Android: Primarily map cache data (64,846 KB)
    If it was downloading content then it did not significantly save content to storage. It's not like I have anything particularly sensitive on the phone, but the idea that it was uploading a snapshot of my data definitely makes me uncomfortable.

    Yup, Digital Camera IMages and videos.Somewhere in /sdcard/Android would be my guess as to where a mysterious file would be downloaded, but if it's only 64MB, and mostly map data, I'd safely rule it out.I'm sorry, but I'm stumped here.Edit: I should mention I don't think this is malware, because unless a malicious app gained superuser access, any data it used would show under it's own apk in the data usage list, not Android OS.

    Although I'm not really up to speed with the Android platform, I come from a UNIX background so I feel comfortable running commands. How do I pull up a bash terminal? Do I need to root the phone first? 
    permalink
    parent
    [–]omgmrjmako/PA, deb/Carbon 2 points 1 year ago
    There's a number of terminal emulators in the Play Store that work well. You don't need a rooted phone to get to the shell as your user, but any privileged command won't execute unless you can grant it permission from the Superuser app that is installed when you root the device. So you could probably do a ps -e, but not a kill -9.

    Got it. I downloaded a terminal emulator but unfortunately those processes no longer exist.Does Android keep a generic log of system level events like /var/log/syslog?

    [–]omgmrjmako/PA, deb/Carbon 2 points 1 year ago
    I don't think so, and I know you'd need superuser permission to read most of the files in /var/log anyway. I'm not super familiar with how Android does its logging, but I do know that the two files of interest are the logcat and dmesg.

    Want to mention here that using your settings to set your data cap (set it on your billing day), then you won't go over again.Those text messages are really unhelpful, as they send out well after the data has been used. Chances are good you hit close to the 2GB mark before you received the bulk of the messages.

    That's definitely not the case here; both my PC and and Android phone are free from pirated apps.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • Is there any way to use -useLegacyAOT option in FlashBuilder 4.6?

  • Is there any way to use a file transfer protocol to upload files to icloud?

    Is there any way to use a file transfer protocol to upload files to icloud?

    Unfortunately, no.
    You will need a 3rd party web host to upload your websites to. Depending on the version of iWeb you are using you have a couple of publishing options:
    iWeb ’09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder. ( With the built in FTP in iWeb you will end up with an address like “www.YourDomain.com/sitename/Home.html )
    iWeb ’08 you can publish your website to a local folder
    Basically all Web Hosting companies are iWeb-compatible.
    If you’re looking for a good hosting I would recommend IX Web Hosting I have been using them to host my own websites for several years now and that their customer support is awesome too.

  • Is there any way to use flash without all the bloated code?

    I  want to put a flash player on my site, however with dreamweaver the  "insert movie" option puts a ton code in my markup to the point where i  cant even tell what im looking at. Is there any way to use flash without  all the bloat?

    Yes and no.  Some bloat as you call it is necessary to support all browsers.  That said, this on-line tool takes your Flash code and converts it to valid XHTML Strict standards.  In the process, the code is minimized a bit.  Be sure to test in an XHTML Strict doc type page.

    You can use another router as an 'extender' (I know that this will work seemlessly with AirPort Extemes and AirPort Express's - you'll have to check with your router manufacturer to determine what they recommend for range extenders).

  • Is there a way of using IE7 with Mountain Lion? There used to be this facility using Safari "Develop" with Lion, but this doesn't seem to work with ML

    Is there a way of using IE7 with Mountain Lion? There used to be this facility using Safari "Develop" with Lion, but this doesn't seem to work with ML

    Thank you for this, and to Caleb.
    I've tried using Caleb's approach (which is the same as I used with Lion), but the programme doesn't respond now that I have installed Mountain Lion.
    My problem is that I do not want to use IE7 but that a programme I need regular access to will only allow IE7 and I've been told by the developers that it is too expensive to upgrade this programme to allow it to be used by other browsers.
    So, my puzzle remains the same. I could access IE7 and use the programme using Caleb's solution with Lion. I can't do the same with Mountain Lion. I do (I think!) understand your point about the programme requiring IE7 specifically, but if it worked on Lion, why isn't it working on Mountain Lion? Or was I just lucky before?
    I'll try mende1's approach, though I doubt I'm technical enough to virtualise anything!
    Thanks again. Any further thoughts welcome.
