Logic 8 and syncing QT Movies to TC values before project start.

Hi everyone
Apologies for this real dumb wit question and I have searched an answer to this both in the Logic manual and on previous threads to this forum .... but to no avail!
After years of working on PAL DV QT movies that I sync externally by firing TC to another Mac (& out through a Canopus box to a plasma screen) ...... I want to do some prep for a project using some rough iPod movies (which have visual TC) inside Logic on my main computer.
Everything works fine except when it comes to a simple requirement.
I have a demo that starts at say bar 3 ........... I want to sync that to say 16 minutes into QT REEL 3(most 35 mm cinema movies are still broken down to maybe 10 reels with each one starting chronologically in the format REEL 1 - 1st frame picture is 01.00.00.00 ...... REEL 2 - 1st frame picture is 02.00.00.00 etc etc) ...... the most labs can still process is 22 minute reels ...... sorry beside the point but an interesting fact!
Is it possible to import a movie with a scene that I want to score say 16 minutes into the QT, with a cue that starts at Bar 3 ......... or as I seem to find, is there no way of syncing a scene within a QT movie that starts "BEFORE" the Logic Project start point?
No matter how I alter the VIDEO MOVIE START point, the project always wants to import the movie to the start of the "project".
Please put me out of my misery!?
Best wishes
Dick

Search my posts on this forum, the question of whether Logic 9/SL is stable has been asked before and I've answered it in detail already, so you can read what my personal experience has been.
Re the piano roll crashes, I can categorically confirm that in Logic 8 (I used it under Tiger, not Leopard or Snow Leopard) the piano roll transposition crash was a repeatable, regular and reliable crash for me. I have not had a single crash of this kind since moving to Logic 9/SL. Usually I'd say your mileage may vary, but for this specific bug it seems to me that it was a very specific Logic 8 problem which has been comprehensively taken care of in 9.

  • Why did I lose my music when I download and sync a movie

    We're new to ipods and itunes. We had a couple songs on our ipod and wanted to get a movie. It took us awhile to figure out how to sync it, but when we did, we got a message that said it would clear out our other libraries. I should have kept the exact message, but I didn't. I figured, OK, we'll just resync for the music again and went ahead. After resyncing after the movie, I was charged again for the music.
    Now, my son bought new music and synced it, but lost the movie we downloaded. Why does it do that and how can I avoid it?

  • ITunes freezes when syncing a movie

    I think I solved the problem.....In Itunes, I had my iphone set up to update VIA wireless...Itunes scans and constantly searches..which was causing the video to freeze up...when I disabled or disconnected the iphone, I no longer have issues.
    If anyone else is....Disable any devices (ipads, Iphones, ipods)  that might be connected to itunes using the wireless method.

  • My gen5 80gig syncs some movies and music then stops

    My gen5 80gig syncs some movies and music then stops and makes a weird sound and i know theres nothing wrong with the music or movies and i don't know what to do I've tried the 5R's, restoring in disk mode everything so HELP!

    There could be problems with the iPod's file structures so it might pay to check it for errors. Try putting the iPod in disk mode thus; hold Menu+Select for about 6 seconds until it resets, then hold Menu+Play as soon as the Apple logo appears, again for about 6 seconds to put the machine in disk mode. Close iTunes if it's open. Once in disk mode connect to your computer, then browse *My Computer* and right-click on the drive for the iPod, click Properties, then click Tools. Under Error-checking, click *Check Now*. Under Check disk options, select *Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors*. Click Start. Mac users should run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the equivalent process. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive. Once these have been fixed you can reset the iPod (hold Menu+Select ) and should stand a better chance of successfully transfering files.

  • HT2729 i downloaded 3 songs to my pc and sync'd my ipod and the songs do not tranfer.  is this related to not having the proper itunes version vs ios?  I cannot get the songs to sync, but I can move other songs to different playlists and they sync fine...

    Hi Dennis!
    I have a couple of steps for you to try in order to get those songs transferred to your iPod touch. First, make sure all of your software is updated with the latest versions. If the songs were downloaded from iTunes, you will also want to delete the songs from your library and then download them again from the list of past purchases on your iTunes account. An article about doing that can be found here:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    If you try a sync after those two steps and are still seeing the issue, then I would like you to try syncing the iPod by setting it to manually manage. An article outlining more information on manually managing your iPod sync can be found here:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
    If you are still having issues after that, I have another article that can outline some other reasons why your songs may not transfer to your iPod, and it can be found here:

    But I must point out that leaving the iPhoto Library on the external is worth considering. Your internal drive would be better off without having to carry the photos.
    When you booted with the external connected and you were asked for the library, did you try navigating to the Library in on the external drive?

  • HT2729 how can i watch a rented movie purchased through itunes and synced to my iphone 5 without watching it through itunes app?

    How crap is that?
    It's not crap at all.
    It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
    and maintain a current backup of your computer.

  • Looking for app to sync music, movies, and playlists

      Apple products use iTunes to sync music, movies, and playlists, what is a good app for the Android? There have been a few mentioned in other posts, but nothing that will sync the playlists also...

    I tried Double Twist since it was free, but it had a couple limitations that I can't remember off the top of my head. Somebody told me about iSyncr, which was a couple bucks but it's awesome!. Downloads directly from my iTunes, inlcluding playlists. I use the default player on the phone. The iSyncr app also has a great tutorial, very easy to use.
      I grabbed the iSyncr Lite version, and it seems to work fine and it uses the default player on the phone. I am not crazy about having to use iTunes for the workstation piece, but it will help my wife use it as she is used to iTunes, and something else would confuse her. I am about ready to buy the paid version of iSyncr and iSyncr WiFi so I can sync wirelessly rather than having to connect it. I grabbed the Lite version of that also and it works great.

  • ITunes movies no longer sync from Dell laptop or MacBook Pros (both authorized devices) to iPhone 6s or iPad Air 2s after configured at Apple store yesterday.  In the past I could see the movies in iTunes with the cover photo and sync.

    iTunes movies no longer sync from Dell laptop or MacBook Pros (both authorized devices) to iPhone 6s or iPad Air 2s after configured at Apple store yesterday.  In the past I could see the movies in iTunes with the cover photo and sync to the other devices but now there is a listing a movies with no cover photos and in fact if I try to view the movie on the MacBook Pro it cannot be found unless I download it.

    All I had to do was complain.  I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store.  I have no idea why.
