Label or Mark a Section of Video

Is there a way to mark or label a section of a video clip? I would like to create a searchable/filterable label for a specific start and end within a video clip. If not, is there a workaround?
Once created, I'd like to be able to filter on this label a create a production from the labeled video section.
Thanks in advance.

Type this sequence:
[set playhead position]
i + 15 <return> o <delete>
if the video is 60fps then
i + 30 <return> o <delete>
the numbers above are the # of frames to advance the playhead. 'I' and 'o' set the in and out points.
Another way to go:
select a short clip in your Events and type 'q' to connect it to the storyline. Select the clip in the storyline and double click on the playhead position clock -- while the number is blue, type the number of frames length you need (15 for 0.5 seconds in a 30fps project, etc. [the clip will be trimmed to that length]) and type Return or Enter. Option click drag copies of the connected clip across your storyline. Select all of the pieces by clicking and dragging across/through all of the connected clips. Type command-option-down arrow ("Overwrite to Primary Storyline"). Command click each of the pieces again in the storyline and type delete.

How can I cut a section of video, but leave the audio playing?

iMovie 6
Hi, I want to edit, or remove a small section of video, but leave the audio playing in the background. I want to just put up a picture in the same spot. But, I need the video's audio to keep playing. I videotaped someone speaking, but there is a section where there is a mistake, namely, the camera was moved. I need to keep the audio going, and figured I would just put a still image of text or picture in the section where the mistake is, that's why I need the audio to keep playing. It's too long of a section to just do a transition to cover the mistake. Can someone help me with this? I guess you could call what I want to do is cut to a still image while the audio keeps playing?
Thanks

Mapviewer problem with oriented label and marker

I have test oriented label and oriented marker seperately. Both worked well. when I combined these 2 styles into one theme,both label and marker are not oriented. Is this a bug?

How to remove audio noise in section of video clip

I have a section of video which contains some time on
a ski boat and then footage of a skier. The section of ski footage is noisy with boat engine noise.
How can I reduce just that section of noise. I don't wish to eliminate it just lower the volume.

Unfortunately, you have posted to the Tips & Tricks sub-forum, which is basically a repository for articles on how to do things. Maybe our over-worked MOD, Steve Grisetti can move this question out to the main PrE forum, so that many more users will see it, and can give you suggestions.
Now, let's look at your Audio footage, and what you want to do.
The section of ski footage is noisy with boat engine noise. How can I reduce just that section of noise. I don't wish to eliminate it just lower the volume.
Success depends on exactly what you have in the way of audio signals, and exactly what you want to do with it.
If there are other signals in the Clip, that you wish to keep, and only wish to lower the Levels of the noise floor (the boat's engine), you might have success, but that depends on two things: the frequencies of the sound that you wish to retain at original Levels, and the frequencies of the boat's engine. I believe that PrE has some limited EQ (Equalizer) Effects. I normally use an audio-editing program, with a full compliment of EQ's.
I'd start with a Graphic EQ Effect, and then spend a lot of time adjusting the sliders for each frequency band and doing careful listening. It is likely that you can attenuate (lower) the Levels for some of the frequency bands, that ONLY contain the signal from the engine. You will loose those same frequencies in the ambient sounds, but there is no way to separate those out, and address them individually. Depending on the number of frequency bands that your EQ offers, this might be able to isolate many of the changes to the offending frequencies. Do not know how many frequency bands the Graphic EQ in PrE will offer, as I have never explored any.
In Audition, one can also sample a part of the file, with just engine noise, and then work to eliminate most of that from the whole Clip. Note, one still has a balancing act, of lowering the Levels across the frequency bands. I would go lightly here, and then work with the Graphic EQ to clean things up a bit more. Last, I'd look at both the High-pass and Low-pass filters, plus a Notch Filter.
Since I noticed that you had also posted to the article on noise reduction, I know that you have read it. However, when your post gets moved out to the main forum, and others drop by, I will link to that ARTICLE here.
Now, and so that others can perhaps give you specific ideas, can you tell us what part of the audio spectrum you wish to keep at the original Levels? Also, if you have a short piece of the Audio, can you attach it as a PCM/WAV? Hint: use the little Attach Files (paperclip) at the lower-left of the forum editing screen. Let us know exactly what you'd like to try to keep. We'd be happy to process that small section and see if we can make improvements to it, and then post the steps that we took to arrive at our edited piece.
Good luck,
Hunt

Restoring Deleted Sections of Video In Quicktime Pro 7

Does anyone know if you can restore the deleted sections of video in quicktime pro. I selected in & out points on a video then clicked save, instead of save as,(did not mean to do that) and it deleted most of my video, when i did not want to delete, just pull out the section where my in & out points were.
So I'm trying to restore the orig. video and that was the only copy, so I have no where else to go and retrieve it. If anyone would know if it is possible to restore the video you have cut but forgot to save orig. file. I would appreicate any help on this.. Thx....

IF I use system restore to a restore point before I cut video would that possibly get original video file back? Reply from quicktimekirk says it's gone for good,but not sure if he has ever tried the system restore to get back to a time before video was cut. Any help greatly appreicated,I only had 1 original file copy of video file I'm trying to restore. I did back it up on dvd when first recorded,so I still have that, but I'm trying to restore the original .mov video file. Thanks and I'll remember from now on to back up any file I'm working on. Thanks again..........

Custom Library section - For Video Clips

Hey I was wondering if there is away to make a custom itunes library section for video clips?
I have a bunch of funny, racing, and youtube clips I downloaded a long time ago. They are the only thing I dont have in my iTunes library but they dont fit in the Music or Tv section.
Any suggestion? or scripts in order to be able to add a custom section, I dont care if it doesnt sync with my iphone, ipod, or apple tv. I just want them to be in iTunes.
Thanks

Bump, even if there isn't a way to have a custom section, is there a way to submit a suggestion to Apple support. It would be great to have other sections that relate to what kind of Media. Since I dont read Audio books I would put them in that section but it doesnt read video files. I really hate having them under the movie section and music video section.
I really hope apple / iTunes team will allow custom sections that will allow any video files to be added.

How can I mark large sections of a topic to be skipped during RH spell check?

I have a RoboHelp Webhelp project in which many of the topics have sample code and other entire lines of package, class, and other names that I want
the spell checker to bypass.
Unfortunately, there is no option to select the text and mark it to be ignored.
When I run spell check, RH flags certain words or phrases and asks me how to handle them, one at a time.
If I close the spell check dialog, RH bounces right back to the spot where I stopped it during a subsequent spell check.
This is tedious and I end up with multiple <rhignored? = "text to be ignored".> in a single code sample, for example.
Is there a better way to mark sections of text to be skipped?
I see this as basic functionality, and maybe I am missing something I did not find on this forum or in the help files.
Thanks so much!
Cynthia
I meant to add that I am using RoboHelp 9 on a PC running Vista.

Sorry but there's no way I have seen. I state that quite categorically as what will hopefully happen is that someone will now respond they do know a way.
I'm not sure I would agree what you want is basic functionality but I do understand your need for it.

Hide text label in IR report section conditionally

Hi,
We have a textlabel and a computed field in a report section in IR 11.1.2.1. Is there a way(through scripting) to hide the textlabel and field based on certain conditions, like say, if the field computes to 'zero'?
Thanks.

Use a Field instead of Text Label. Then in the Expression Editor you can use if(){}else{} logic

For those of you using Final Cut Pro 6 to edit 1080p video from the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, there is a video tutorial on lynda.com by Frank Rohmer entitled "Photography Video Workflow: Final Cut Pro + Canon 5D Mark II". I think it does a nice job of providing a workflow for FCP. YOu can view the introduction for free at this link: http://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourse.aspx?lpk2=48108.
There is a new plugin to allow Sonic Fire Pro 5.1 users to score their music directly from within Final Cut Pro and round-trip to Sonic Fire Pro 5.1. You can read about it and purchase it at: https://www.smartsound.com/sonicfire/finalcutpro.html.
I am just a satisfied user of both products and have no commercial link to either lynda.com or Smart Sound.

Canon 5D Mark iii stopped recording video!

I was shooting on my new Canon 5d Mark iii yesterday, recording to a 16SD card and using a RODE shotgun mic for sound when a weird image appeared on my live view. Towards the right of the screen these blocks started piling up. When there were 4 blocks, my video stopped recording! I'm talking maybe 10 or 15 second videos here. My SD was less than half full at the time, and when I hit record again I only got about 10 to 15 seconds more of video recording. What the heck was going on!? Please help!
I've drawn a picture of what the blocks lookied like to further illustrate my point. Thank you!

Hello ScottESwartz,
What you are seeing with this indicator is the amount of data being recorded to the buffer. Even though you are using a 16GB memory card, if it is a slow card, this indicator will fill quickly and stop. It makes it seem as though the card you're using doesn't have the speed to keep up with the recording level you have set. You could test this by selecting a smaller movie recording size and compression method within the Menu. For example, you may try 640 / 30 frames / IPB and see if this indicator either doesn't appear or fills more slowly. This tells you that the card isn't simply fast enough to handle large recordings with ease, hence the quick fill up.
Another method would be to use a much faster class of card, for shooting full HD video use the highest class of card you can afford. This would be Class 10 with a high write speed. This ensures that the buffer in the camera writes to the card quickly, allowing for longer record times.

Retrieve a section of Video

Hi
I'm totally new to interMedia. Question is if I stored a 1 hour long video in the database, is it possible to retrieve just a specific 5 minute section of that video? If yes, how can I do this?
Thanks,
Ila

Type this sequence:
[set playhead position]
i + 15 <return> o <delete>
if the video is 60fps then
i + 30 <return> o <delete>
the numbers above are the # of frames to advance the playhead. 'I' and 'o' set the in and out points.
Another way to go:
select a short clip in your Events and type 'q' to connect it to the storyline. Select the clip in the storyline and double click on the playhead position clock -- while the number is blue, type the number of frames length you need (15 for 0.5 seconds in a 30fps project, etc. [the clip will be trimmed to that length]) and type Return or Enter. Option click drag copies of the connected clip across your storyline. Select all of the pieces by clicking and dragging across/through all of the connected clips. Type command-option-down arrow ("Overwrite to Primary Storyline"). Command click each of the pieces again in the storyline and type delete.

Help Please With Adding to a Section of Video

I am creating a video for a school organization. I have completed one section or scene but would like to add more scenes before this scene. I know how to add things but I don't want to start adding video and pictures and then my audio not be in the same place. Is there a way to add without the pictures and audio getting out of sync? Can I connect the audio to the video? Please help. Thanks!

I take it you do WANT the audio to move with the clip(s) it's already synced with. In which case select both the video and the audio clip, right-click, and select 'Link Audio and Video'.
Cheers,
Neale

Deleted Sections of Video Remain In .MOV File

Hi I am new to this forum and wonder if I may ask a question regarding QuickTime Pro v7.5.5.
I have recently taken a video clip using my Kodak DX7440 digital camera and have used QuickTime Pro v7.5.5 to delete a few seconds from the start and end of it.
This works fine within QuickTime itself, and the deleted clips are absent as desired, but when I go to Nero Vision (v7) to burn the video clip to a DVD, the deleted sections are still there, and I find this quite annoying, as I then have to perform the edit all over again before burning.
It seems the deleted sections are still within the .MOV file. Is there any way to get rid of them completely ?
Many thanks in advance for advice.

Thanks for reply - but the Undo is greyed out, and doesn't affect it. I also tried Export but when playing the exported file I got a green colored still video picture displaying (but with sound OK). I suspect there is a bug of some kind causing my problem.

Suddenly iMovie will not import certain sections of video

I have a MacBook Pro with 4GB of memory. I've been working on an imovie project and have been importing video into it without problems until last night. It just won't import that last 4 minutes of video. Is this a lack of memory? The MAC says "all memory slots are full."
I'm not very tech wise, so if you could answer in humanize I would appreciate it.

I should add that there are 7 sections of film. When I play it from archive on the cpu all 7 play. After importing over to imovie, only 6 are showing in thumbnails.

How do i delete sections of video and audio at the same time

hello, i made a video with sound and overlapping voiceover i want to know how do i delete a section of the video and the voice over without having to resynch everything again?

In Final Cut Pro X, this is easy. You drag to select all these clips. Then use the Blade Tool.
However, in iMovie, it is not as straightforward. You can edit the camcorder clip and its audio, but any music tracks, voiceover tracks, etc. will not be edited with it.
A workaround is to use the SHARE menu to SHARE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME using Apple Intermediate Codec to retain as much quality as possible. Then import this new movie into an Event. New all the audio is married to the video and you can edit everything together.
