Hello horsecrazy,
I want to get a certain clip our of a certain movie but i cannot find a way to do this at all
Do you want to export a single clip from an iMovie project? If so, place the clip in the timeline, then choose File > Share from the menu. Select Quicktime and "Full Quality" and make sure you check "Share selected clips only". Hit share and have a coffee while iMovie exports.
hope this helps

Questions about movie clips

I want to play a movie clip in a separate file. First, I use loadMovieNum("[url]",1); which works, but the movie is ends with being too large, even though I adjusted the movie clip's size and exported it. When I load the movie, is there something I can do to adjust the movie in code?
Also, when the movie ends, is there a way to have it move the main page to the next frame (e.g., on(release){gotoAndStop(2);})?

Bump. Anyone?

A question about movie clips and the eraser

So I'm kinda new to flash and whatnot, probably not nearly as
good as half you people with the scripting and I donno what half of
things you say are.. and yeah.. but I'll learn one day. :]
Anyways.. so I want to use the eraser tool to erase a
graphic, but it doesn't seem to be able to do that. Basically I
have this picture of an eraser and when I l click the link I want
the eraser to erase the page, but the thing that actually could
erase doesn't seem to erase things unless they're made in flash.
Suggestions???
Also, how do you make a movie clip stop moving when you hover
over it?

Ok - let's go step by step:

"Graphics" is a pretty general term - it can mean anything
from vectors to bitmaps to symbol
instances. I have to assume that you are referring to
imported graphics. Please clarify.
If you are finding the eraser tool does not erase "graphics"
then you are either trying to erase a
bitmap or an instance.
If bitmap: you must break it apart or Trace Bitmap (convert
to vectors) before using the eraser
tool. More importantly, if you are trying to erase part of a
bitmap, it is probably more
advantageous to go back to the original source file and edit
it in your graphics editor and
re-import into flash.
If it is an instance of a Graphic symbol, double click the
symbol to enter Edit Mode - then use the
eraser tool (assuming the artwork inside this symbol is
vector art. If a bitmap refer to the
previous steps.

Here's where my confusion increases - this is a different
issue from the first one right? The eraser
tool and this eraser button are 2 different things? Let's
assume this eraser button is something you
made ok? But your last scentence still confuses me - what
does the Flash eraser tool have to do with
your eraser button?
What I think you want might be found by going to
www.flashkit.com and searching for "scratch lottery
ticket" or similar.

Give the MC an instance name and target it on rollOver of the
button:
on (rollOver) {
myMC.stop();

Major Questions about Flash Paper 2.0

Ok, I've been fiddling around with flash paper 2 over the
last few days. Like it a lot for my non-technical users..however, I
have a few questions. Hopefully someone can answer soon. Ok, I have
a main swf and in there I'm using a script I found (person who
wrote it, last name: Whitehouse) on the Net which allows me to load
a flash paper file from within that main swf along with some
control on some interface features. Here it is:
onClipEvent (load) {
// function: loadFlashPaper
// Parameters:
// path_s: path of SWF to load
// dest_mc: Movie clip to hold the imported SWF
// width_i: New size of the dest movie clip
// height_i: New size of the dest movie clip
// loaded_o: (optional) Object to be notified that loading is
complete
function loadFlashPaper(path_s, dest_mc, width_i, height_i,
loaded_o) {
var intervalID = 0;
var loadFunc = function(){
dest_mc._visible = false;
var fp = dest_mc.getIFlashPaper();
if (!fp) {
return;
} else if (fp.setSize(width_i, height_i) == false) {
return;
} else {
clearInterval(intervalID);
dest_mc._visible = true; // Now show the document
loaded_o.onLoaded(fp);
intervalID = setInterval(loadFunc, 100);
dest_mc.loadMovie(path_s);
// Function called once the FlashPaper SWF is embedded:
function onLoaded(fp) {
// We can now call the FlashPaper API functions.
// Remove the standard user interface features:
fp.showUIElement("PrevNext", false);
fp.showUIElement("Print", false);
fp.showUIElement("Find", false);
fp.showUIElement("Tool", false);
fp.showUIElement("Pop", false);
fp.showUIElement("Zoom", false);
fp.showUIElement("Page", false);
fp.showUIElement("Overflow", false);
fp.showUIElement("useHandCursor", false);
fp.enableScrolling(true);
// Some additional API features (here commented out):
// Go to page:
// fp.setCurrentPage(3);
// Change the magnification to 50%:
// fp.setCurrentZoom(50);
// Now we're ready to start
// Create the destination movie clip to hold the SWF:
var theDocMC_mc = _root.labserviceworkclip;
// Position it on the stage:
theDocMC_mc._x = 15.4;
theDocMC_mc._y = 211.8;
//theDocMC_mc.useHandCursor = false;
// Load the FlashPaper SWF into the clip,
// size it, and trigger the onLoaded() function:
loadFlashPaper("labservicework.swf", theDocMC_mc, 730, 510,
this);
//_root.miningprojectspopup.hidecontainer.loadMovie("19a.swf");
Now, is it possible to:
1.) Remove the hand curser?
2.) Remove the Flash Paper splash that appears before the swf
is loaded? Maybe replace it with loader bar?
3.) Control color of scrollbar (like you can on flash
components)
4.) The main swf is set to transparency, but if make
background color in Word doc a color, that color does not show up.
Why?
4.) In Word, I want to create multiple pages that appear
seamless when scrolling down in the swf file. however, can't to get
that to work. Has anyone tried this? I'm open to any option such as
using tables inside my Word docs (am trying that now but still not
working).
5.) I created an 8 page document in Word 2003 and saved it as
swf BUT am getting this "Printer Failed.." response. If I do pages
smaller in number, works fine. What's going on with that. I also
have installed CutePDF installed..could that be screwing it up?
6.) I want to include anchors inside the swf file so that at
the click of a button, I can automatically move the scroll up or
down. Any idea how to do that?
7.) I want to inlude links inside the swf file to navigate to
different frames inside main swf. Is that possible?
8.) When creating hyperlinks in Word to swf file, (yes, I
chose correct target frame), the page doesn't appear to open into a
new window. What's up with that?

First off I would recommend buying the non academic full version for $20 more because its worth it. So when Aperture 2.5 or 3 comes out, you do not have to pay the full price for it.
As for your library, make a backup if you want, but all you need to do after installing a licensed version of Aperture 2 is go to your previous library and then select "open with..." then chose Aperture 2 (default)
Once you do that you will receive a message stating that "once your library has been updated, it will not open in previous versions of Aperture, do you wish to continue?"
After you do that your library will be fully imported into Aperture 2 exactly as it was in the previous versions of the program.
Hope that helps.

Questions about movies in iTunes

I like our new iPhone and still need the iPod Classic because of its nice large hard drive (which still doesn't hold all podcasts).
I bought the Classic more for its ability to share pictures than to play music.
Photo Stream's nice, but not for > 1,000 pictures... which for us is not for > 3-4 months ago.
So having all pictures on the Classic helps us share with Mom and others, via the Classic, and better... via the TV screen (via the cables).
To do this, I have, every few weeks, dragged and dropped the home camera movies from iPhoto into iTunes.
When that happens, only the name comes across, no date information.
So, to then have the movies in a good sort order (since we had more than one camera, sorting by file name doesn't work), I needed to manually name each one.
Questions:
1) How to get all deails about the movies, especially the date/time stamps, from iPhoto into iTunes?
2) If we can't do that... is there a way to use automator to, after I highlight a movie or group of movies and press the macro keystrokes (does it support that??), read the number of the current highest-number movie (I rename to Video###) + 1?
With either of these, my life would be easier getting all content onto the iPod Classic.
On a related note...
Some podcasts don't download in a format that works on the iPod.
Is there a way, beyond the manual one I use, to convert the file formats automatically to the one that plays on iPods?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi there,
I'm new to the part of buying movies in iTunes store and got some questions about it. I live in Cologne, Germany. iTunes settings are set to English (US).
I found myself in the US Store but after all I can't buy items there, which is pretty annoying anyway and got forwarded to the German store, which is missing .. lots of content (e.g. Echelon Conspiracy).
go to the iTunes store. click on "TV Sendungen" (tv shows), and find the entry +exclusive: unaired TV shows in english+ in the upper right corner.

Question about rearranging clips in the storyline

I hope I can explain my question clearly: I have a storyline with multiple connected clips. I want to add a generator under a clip so that I have a black background. In other words (and I don't know the propery terminology), I want to put a generator in and then take what is now the "main" clip and the clips connected to it and make all of them connected clips on top of the generator. But, when I try to do this by dragging the clips around, I can't do it. The main clip and the clips connected to it that I'm dragging around just end up going on the left or right side of the generator clip.
How can I do this? Is it possible? I noticed that if I delete all of the connected clips from the main clip, I can move the main clip above the generator clip and have it become a connected clip. But that presents a problem because I need all of the clips, and I've already gone to the trouble of syncing them.
I also noticed that I can take the main clip and its connected clips and turn them into a compound clip and then connect it, but that complicates the editing for me.
Thank you for any advice.

Well, as far as why I want a black generator, I'm using a split screen effect and I want to put some titles (text) on 1/2 or 1/3 of the screen. Maybe I don't need a generator to do that. I'm still learning all of this. I'm sure that if someone like you (someone with your experience) sat down and watched what I'm doing to achieve what I want, you'd have a million tips on how to do it better. But I guess that's stuff I'll just have to pick up as I go along.
I didn't know it was possible to put clips under the primary. That certainly helps.

Question about Movie Rental Times and AirPlay

Just wondering. I have been sitting with my Apple TV2 since I got it this morning with it saying to download an hd movie. 1920 minutes remaining.I can get a faster download off my computer so that comes to my second question. Can I rent it on my computer and airplay it to my Apple TV?
Oh and my network speed is 3mbs. Not alot I know... But is that ok?

Are either of you using a DNS server / name server other than the one provided by your Internet service provider? OpenDNS or Google's DNS service, for instance? (If you don't know what I'm talking about, probably not.) There have been a number of reports suggesting that this can result in slow media downloads due to the way the movie servers try to optimize delivery based on your location, though it's unclear to me how accurate this really is.
Also, be aware that by default, the new Apple TVs provide "hi-def" rentals from the iTunes store (this is not applicable to Netflix), which means a larger and therefore longer download. To rent standard definition, you have to go into Settings and switch rentals to standard definition.

Ultra-noob question about creating clips

Sorry if this is answered elsewhere - I don't even know where to look.
I'm working on a simple editing project. I've sucked in (I forget the proper term) an entire DV tape of material into one big file. Now I'm trying to pick out the good shots and save them as separate clips - about 50 of them. These clips will then be converted to a different format and reassembled using some special software outside of FCE to create an interactive web video.
There seem to be about a gajillion ways of doing this. Master clips, independent clips, sub-clips. Right now I'm having a problem with clip names because of the master/associate business. I want to organize individual clips into folders (Folder A -> Clips A1, A2, A3, etc). But when I try to name a clip, ALL the names change. And no amount of setting the clip as Independent seems to affect it. Not only that, but I'm so green I still can't figure out what to highlight - the clip in the timeline or the clip in the folder or both.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I don't even know what to ask.

G'Day ap0110,
Welcome aboard the FCE forum.
Here is another method:
Double click the long clip in the Browser and it opens in the Viewer.
Mark an In and Out point in the Viewer. You will have two black triangles facing one-another in the Viewer scrubber bar when completed. Notice the bit in between the triangles is lighter in color than the rest. This bit can be made into a re-namable Sub-Clip.
Go to Modify> Make Subclip. Command-U (keyboard shortcut).
The modified clip now appears in the Browser ready to be re-named. Enter new name.
Do this as many times as required.
Right click in the Browser and a pop up appears with an option to create a _New Bin_.
Drag the newly named Sub Clips into a Bin of your choice.

Quick Question About Multiple Clips

Hey guys,
Is there any way to turn multiple clips into one single clip? More specifically, multiple clips that have already been placed on the timeline. I have ten clips right next to each other on the timeline and I would like to turn them into one single clip with no edit marks. Kind of like the "Consolidate" option in Pro Tools. Is there any way to do this without exporting or nesting? Thanks!
Joe

Question About Expanding Clips

I inadvertently condensed the bars of clips that I'm using for a project that appear in the lower right panel. How do I re-expand them?

Ann,
Thanks for the quick response unfortunately it didn't do the trick. Obviously, I'm not explaining the problem well. As I am creating a finished video I'm moving imported clips into the right bottom panel. These are blocks of colored-coded clips that I can cut, expand, move as I wish. Somehow, I hit something that condensed these to much smaller blocks that I'm not able to work with. I hope I'm getting to the problem. Thanks.

A Question About Editing Clips

I have a project where I have 35 different clips approx 2 minutes each. I want to edit them down to :30 seconds each. No problem there, but how do I save them as just the 'new' :30 clip? I don't ever want to revert to the original clip.
The reason for this is I don't want each clip to be such a large 2 minute file (size wise) when I compile all my different :30 second 'movies'.
Is there a way to trim the excess footage without keeping the embedded file in tact?
Thank you.

aaaah, know I understand.... (why doesn't everybody on this planet speaks english??)
well, you could use an older version of iM; with that, it was possible to "empty the trash"... but that resulted very often in BIG trouble, because the file system of iM got a hickup and the projects got corrupted....
I'm not tired to repeat:
iM has, as many software, a concept; it is meant as a basic edit app for the engineering-challanged-consumer: connect camera, some seconds off, some titles plus, little music, back to tape/burn on disc......
(have a look at that new "magic" feature...some software "decides", what is worth to look at what I have recorded last weekend.... THAT is what I call weird ;-))) )
and:
video is space consuming; I do own three hd, allmost half a terabyte, just for editing my "little son-shine drives trike" movies... ;-)) so, I really don't understand the people complaining they cannot free hd space WHILE doing a project...- the concept of this software says: do your edit, and as long you're doing that, you have access to everything, nothing gets lost... finish your project, and the disc is clean&empty again for a new project...-
another and:
your are able to preview your tape; you are not "forced" to import everything! as Bob Ross would say: now, you have to make a big decision... - import or not to import....
just to mention: all pro-apps work non-distructive too...

Newie question about movie score

I've never really used sountrack before for a movie score and now that I am I have a quick question. In the left pane where the movie plays it allows you to make the movie 50 percent 100 percent and so on, but when I do that the pane stays the same size. How do I make it bigger so that the whole movie at 50 percent shows?
null

Grab the video tab and "tear it off", it becomes a floating window you can resize.
If you leave it set to +Fit to Window+ it can be any size you want.

Beginner question: linking movie clips.

I am making a dart board game. I have a target that moves around the board to each of the 82 positions a dart can land and a button stops the target. Each of those positions is its own MC and is named as such. I also have 82 MCs of a dart animation that travels to all of the possible destinations on the dart board. I need help with the scripting that will tell a specific dart MC to play when the target is stopped on a particular point. Thank you for your help in advance! I am using cs5.5.

There's not enough info to offer a solution, but here's some things to consider. When the target stops, you should have some way of determining where it is, by a position number. Figuring that out would require knowing more about how you move the target and how the button manages stopping it.
Since there are 82 possible positions for it, then your mcs that make up the dartboard could be named/numbered in such a manner (I'd recommend 0 thru 81 since an array might come in handy at some point in the design) and they could be assigned a number property equal to that. Supposed your board mc's were named as such ... brdmc_0, brdmc_1, brdmc_2, etc... Then you could assign a number to them in a loop using bracket notation to target them...
for(var i:uint=0; i<82; i++){
this["brdmc"+String(i)].num = i;
Likewise, each of your 82 dart animations could be named/numbered to match.. dartmc0, dartmc1,etc...
So when you have determined which mc the target has stopped on, you can use that mc's number to tell the associated dart animation to play, again using bracket notation... in the line below, the "boardmc" represents the brdmc# that the target landed on, and you dart
this["dartmc_"+String(boardmc.num)].play();

Question about capturing clips

I’m using Pre7 and capturing video from an HDV tape camcorder via FireWire connection. On the Capture window, I am able to record (capture) from the camera with no problems. But is there a way I can capture from the camera (miniDV tapes), without having to do each scene one at a time? I mean am I able to set things up so that I can have Pre7 record and create each clip automatically as each scene changes?

If you have the option to Split Scene by Timecode selected in the capture workspace, the video should break at every scene (whenever the camcorder was put on pause) as you're capturing. If that doesn't work, you can try Split Scene by Content.
You can also break already captured footage by right-clicking on it in the Project media panel and selecting Scene Detect.
