Is this possible in iMove '08? (Multiple videos on screen)

Hi,
Firstly, I apologise if this thread has been made before. I have no idea what to search for, because, whilst I'm sure there's a term for the effect I'm curious about, I have no idea what is it.
I'm just curious as to whether it is possible to put more than one video on screen at any given time in iMovie, in a grid or similar arrangement - a bit like the Ode to Joy cover on Youtube.
Thanks in advance,
Angus

No, but you can do this in QuickTime Pro.

HELP: Is it possible to record from multiple video streams using iMovie?

Is it possible to record from multiple video streams using iMovie.
I want to record a presenter on a greenscreen and also his powerpoint slides at the same time and cut from one to other.
Can imovie record from screen and camera at same time?
If so is there a link to somewhere explaining how to do so?
If not, what is the most efficient way to do so, without having to learn a whole complex program?
Please advise asap.
Very many thanks

Alan and Anthony,
Thanks for the quick responses. Unfortunately, there is no backup :(.
I will ask if they get logged into the global zone, but one thing I forgot to mention is that this zone (as are all our non-global zones and the global zone also) are configured for ldap logins.
Assuming that they can even try to login to the global zone, can they even see the directory structure in the non-global zone (sorry, I haven't worked with Zones much thus far) from the global zone?
Also, if they can see the non-global zones directory structure, what should they then try?
Also, I've been searching and I've seen some suggestions of running a "pkgcheck -af" which might restore the directory permissions to what the various packages expect. Assuming that they can get to the point that they can at least log into the zone, is that something that would work?
I'm setting up a new test Solaris box now, with a zone, to try to reproduce the problem. If I can reproduce the problem, I'll post back whether or not I see the same thing.
In the meantime, if anyone has any suggestions, please post them.
Thanks,
Jim
P.S. In case you're wondering, the box/zone that got messed up was a test/integration zone, and they were in the process of installing some software when this chmod happened.

Is this possible - I have 10hrs of video but each DVD only needs about 10min

I did a 10 hour dance event and I need to make custom DVD's for each customer that usually only include 3 or 4 songs. Each DVD is different. I don't need the whole 10 hours.
Will Encore lay down just the video I need or will I have to cut away all of the extranious stuff so it's under 4.7 Gigs?
Andy

Alternatively, use After Effects (if you have it) to trim the clips down, add fades/titles/effects/etc to the clip and then import them into Encore via Dynamic Link. This would prevent you from having to wait on rendered files from PPro.
Even if you don't want to mess with Dynamic Link, you could still batch render all of your files out of After Effects overnight. The trick here is whether or not you have After Effects...........?

Is this possible in CS4? Sharing video links?

I have used CS4 for a while but nothing very complicated so not sure if this is even possible. What I want to do is build a DVD with several episodes all using the same intro & ending + have a play all button;
Like this
Start - Episode 1 - Ending
Start - Episode 2 - Ending
Start - Episode 3 - Ending
Where "start" and "ending" are all the same files, so it would be "start" end action to episode 1 and then end action to "ending" and so on for each episode but I am unsure how to do this as all of these would be using the same start\end files.
Also would it be possible then to have a menu option to select each episode individually or a "play all" button that plays them in order?

Absolutely. You will want to do a separate Timeline for your 'chapters," and your Intro and your Outro. Then, do a Playlist to set the order that you wish. For just the various "chapters" (Timelines here), just link those Buttons to the desired Timeline.
Per your description, you'll do 4 Playlists:
1.) Intro + Chapter 1 + Outro (link back to Menu, or location of your choice)
2.) Intro + Chapter 2 + Outro (link back to Menu, or location of your choice)
3.) Intro + Chapter 3 + Outro (link back to Menu, or location of your choice)
4.) Intro + Chapter 1 + Chapter 2 + Chapter 3 + Outro (for Play All) then (link back to Menu, or location of your choice)
Good luck,
Hunt

IMovie 6HD - multiple video formats

Can anyone help me? I have DV from one event on 2 cameras.
The first is standard format DV from a Canon ZR70, the second is HD (16x9) from a Canon EOS 5D Mark II. I would like to use both sources in a single movie. The 5D Mk II video runs continuously over 3 separate 4GB cards of a performance, the ZR70 video is candid, back stage etc that I would like to start with and work in at various points. Is there any way to use both?

first of all, I would 'egalize' both sources.. esp. the material from that SD mk II wouldn't 'fit' into iM...-
use the recommended converter tool *Mpeg Streamclip* to convert the HiDef into dv-stream.
convert the standard material from the ZR into dv-stream and add 'borders' to make it suitable for a widescreen project..
if you want to create a HiDef project, choose Apple Intermediate as Codec and 'blow up' the standard footage to 1920pix resolution.. (=that doesn't 'gain' the quality, but makes the material usable in a HiDef project)
import resulting dv-streams/AIC movs into a DV/wide project or HD-project ..
just a matter of taste: I like with those 'documentaries' to make the performance in shining colors, and the backstage material b/w.. iMHD6 has such an effect.

Multiple Video Tracks in Imovie?

Hi. I have a piano duet I wish to play with myself. I want to make a movie of me playing both parts, with both video tracks appearing on the screen. Is this possible with iMovie '09?
Cheers,
Lox

Hi Schillim,
welcome to this forum
as catspaw wrote. iM is a more basic app, not a "real movie maker's" edit application...
if you want more elaborate feature, have a look at FinalCutExpress...
or, you can "pimp yo' iMovie" with plug-ins, for multi-clips have a look here:

and the other, usual suspects:

Using green screen ( but just on isight) is this possible

Can anybody direct me to a tutorial on exactly how to place a greenscreen background into the isight capture.
I am using imovie 09 to create a video however i captured the isight footage using screenflow. Now i would like to use the isight footage however wanted to place a nice background image in the frame so it looks more pro than just the background of the recording area. Is this possible.
I attempted to export from screen flow and import into imovie however it exports the whole enchilada screencast and isight as an exported .mov.
Regards M

(1) Position "greenscreen" (something like this: http://tinyurl.com/29w2lp4 )
(2) Position subject in front of "greenscreen"
(3) Record with iSight

Seems simpler to me to follow iMovie Help to record and superimpose directly in iMovie:

Multiple video layers in clip

When attempting to view a clip in Quicktime, the clip will play as normal and then suddenly switch between scenes. At this point, it is possible to drag the slider backwards in time and view a different scene. A third scene can be viewed if the cursor is rewound and played from precisely the right point towards the beginning of the clip.
This clip was downloaded using Limewire and "previewed" before the download was complete. My theory is that some sort of Quicktime cache is enabled which permanently set the length of the clip at a fixed time... not allowing the clip to play for a longer length of time after it had been downloaded.
Is there any way to reset this file so that the multiple videos layers can be viewed continuously as they should?
Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.4)

If its an MPEG file, use MPEG Streamclip to "Fix timecode breaks" and then "Convert to MPEG" to save the video into a new MPEG file with continuous timecode for better playback in QuickTime Player. Or just play it with VLC or MPlayer which will play it regardless of timecode errors.

Two videos on screen at the same time

Hei,
I have three clips that I want to combine into one. The end result that I'm looking for is similar to how new Leopard iChat works when you edit files with another person (there are two videos of different people on the left, large video on the right where the editing of the file takes place and a dark background). Is this possible with iMovie HD? Or is there any other program I could use? Final Cut Express?

Hi Nicky
As Bev. describes in iMovie. Best way !
In FinalCut Express this is very easy. Picture in picture to Video-wall is so easy to do.
Each video on it's own track (up to 99) and turn on VireFrame and change size so that each
video has proper size and place. It's done.
Just the easy ability to change size and rotation (parts of a degree) can do so much difference.

I need to transfer a mac iMovie video to the camera roll of my iPad, is this possible?

I have a MacBook Pro with iMovie, an iPad 3 and a PC. I took video on the iPad, created a movie on the Mac with iMovie and now I want to save that movie back to the camera roll in the iPad so I can transfer it to the PC and share it with others on PC. Is this possible? How else could I get this video on my PC?
I can not email the file it is too large.
I am at the office an unable to connect iPad or MacBook to wifi for any cloud sharing.
Thanks,
Mike

When I first read the question I thought, "How can (s)he not know how to do that?" But before I answered with what I thought would be obvious, I looked at iMovie on my iPad and realized it's not so clear. So here it is.
Go out to the home screen and select Projects at the top of the screen,
Tap on the project you want to export to the Camera Roll,
Select the icon in the middle which looks like a box with an arrow pointing up [^],
Save Movie is your next selection,
Choose which resolution you want to save the movie in,
You can now find it in your Camera Roll.
I'm very glad you asked actually because I tried exporting a movie I shot in 1080p in the lowest resolution, 320p, and it still looks great--I mean like YouTube great, not Vimeo great.

Is it possible to transfer Full-HD videos (from a Full-HD camcorder) from iMovie 11 to compressor 4 and create there a AVCHD DVD which can be played in HD quality at a PS/3?

Is it possible to transfer Full-HD videos (from a Full-HD camcorder) from iMovie 11 to compressor 4 and create there a AVCHD DVD which can be played in HD quality at a PS/3?

Yes.
In iMovie use SHARE/Export Movie.
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a9e5615
Choose 1920x1080 (or size of your choice.
Give it a name and location.
You can drag this file into Compressor.
In Compressor, use "Create BluRay Disk"
That should work fine.
There is another alternative, where you could skip the DVD and Compressor.
Just SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME
Choose Movie to MP4
In Options, choose h.264 as the Codec.
Choose a bit rate of 16000 or less.
Create the movie.
You can then put it on a USB thumb drive and play it on the PS3.

I would like to make a movie of me speaking while doing a power point presentation. I have seen this done with the powerpoint embedded on the screen and the speaker doing the talking on the rest of the screen. Is it possible to do this in iMovie?

sure.
the ppt has to be some kind of 'video' iM supports.
so export it from with MS Office as a Quicktime movie, preffered with 'Animation' codec, or as appleintermediatecodec .. for quality reasons.
you need the Talking Head as a 2nd video.
then use iM's Pic-In-Pic feature to combine both videos as wanted.
I would suggest to do some editing (you full-screen, the ppt full-screen, perhaps 'close ups' of some charts, cut-aways to snoozing audience, etc) to 'pep' the video. for this purpose, it could be much esier to export each slide from within PPT as a jpeg and create the 'flow' in iM only... except, you need the ppt-animations ... but, who uses animations in a presentation anyhow ... ?

If I download a video from my video camera to a new (current 1/12) iMac 21 inch, how can I burn it to a DVD using the computer itself. Is this possible? Do I need to buy additional software. Two salespeople at the Apple were a little confused about this.

The DVD recorder I'm referring to is one I've use for years. It is not attached to my aging iMac in any way. I simply play the video from my camcorder (mini-dv tape based Canon HV20) into the DVD recorder and create a DVD that can be played in any DVD player. I can only do minimum editing so what goes in is what I get. This has been fine for creating dupes of the various things I shoot.
If I buy a new iMac (21 inch), I'd like to be able to download the video to the iMac through iMovie, work with it to whatever degree I wish, and burn it to a DVD that can also be played in any DVD player -- or to use as a master to dupe copies.
What I'm understanding from you and others is that this would be possible if Apple had included iDVD in the software that comes with the iMac, or if I purchase the iLife Family Pack, or buy the correct version of Toast. I'm hoping I can persuade Apple to sell me an iMac with iDVD installed.
Essentially I want to move from a basic process of creating DVD copies to the more sophisticated process of creating one from an iMac.
Thank you again for your help and wisdom.

Multiple video tracks to line up with audio- iMovie or Finalcut??

I am trying to make music videos, like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEzpIAdsur8&feature=channel_video_title
I have iMovie, and my main problem is getting the video to line up with the audio. I can make the audio tracks like up just fine, but then I am stuck with just one video clip to use, I cant go back and forth between different video clips of me playing different instruments because I can't line them up perfectly with the song. Help?
I have been debating wether or not to get final cut express 4, because from what the reviews say it allows multiple video tracks to be used. Would that solve my problem?

I want to buy a Ipod Nano 16gb and it says it holds up to 4,000 songs, and 16 hours of video but on my Itunes I have 2,593 songs and it says I have 19.88 gb. How is this possible?

I want to buy a Ipod Nano 16gb that says it holds up to 4,000 songs, 16 hours of video, and 14,000 pictures. On my Itunes Library, I have 2,593 songs and it says I have 19.88 gb just of songs. How is this possible? If I buy the Nano, will I not be able to have all my songs on the ipod? The music is my first and only prioarity. I want to be able to have up to at least 3,000 songs, even if that means not having video or pictures. Can someone please help me?

Daniella,
The estimated song capacities, such as 4000 songs in 16 GB, are based on 4 minute songs of 4 MB each, which is what you get at 128 encoding.
Most of us nowadays use well above 128. (For example, the iTunes Store and Amazon MP3 both sell songs only in 256.)
However, you can still make more songs fit! When you sync your iPod, use the option to "convert higher bit rate songs," as pictured. Choose 128. This fits more on the iPod, but does not change the songs in your library.

Is this possible in iMove '08? (Multiple videos on screen)
