Making a film cut from iphone clips (long clips)

dear forum,
can tell me how to make a session from many video clips (2 hours) taken with iphone 4s without loosing quality (in final cut express)
Thanx

You can't. Final Cut Express was not designed to edit highly compressed formats.
Use Mpeg Streamclip to convert the h.264 formated clips to AIC (apple intermediate codec) and edit away.
Yes, the material may take a hit, but it will be small and, given the quality of the lens on the phone, probably not all that noticable.
Or, purchase Final Cut X or Premiere Pro. They will work with h.264 format clips without the need to transcode to an all I frame format.
Good luck,
x

  • Insufficient content when cutting from sequence as individual clips

    When cutting from one sequence into another, with an in point set on the source sequence and an in and out set on the program sequence, I get a "Insufficient Content for Edit" error.
    This occurs when I have the "Insert and overwrite sequences as nests or individual clips" toggle deselected (so as to cut in the individual clips, not a nested sequence). If I select this toggle the edit works, but obviously as a nested sequence, which I do not want.
    Is anyone else having this issue?

    We are getting nested sequences whenever we try to cut in a sequence that is more than a minute or two long.  We can't get it to cut in anything but a nest for longer clips and if the in/out points are in excess of four minutes, Premiere crashes.
    Do you get the Image/cache error?
    I have contacted Adobe customer service.  They kept me on the line for an hour deleting my settings and playing around and never found a solution.  So far all we can do is cut in little tiny bits at a time.
    I wonder if your problem is similar, how much material are you trying to cut in?

  • "Import GPS from iPhone" no longer working with iPhone 4 & 4S

    Hi-
    Since upgrading to the Iphone 4, the Import GPS from Iphone function has ceased to work.  The phone appears on the import screen, and photos can be imported sucesfully (and the GPS data is embedded correctly on the photo), but when you go to the places window and go to the import gps from iphone function, the window opens like it's trying to bring up the photos but nothing appears.
    This bug continues with the 4S.  This function worked fine with my Iphone 3.
    Has anyone found a work around for this?  I'm surprised this bug has yet to be fixed.
    Thanks
    Matt

    I have the same problem the screen is show something like this:
    And never stops and show any photo.
    In other way i want to use it to create an slideshow that scroll the map showing the photos, it is possible?
    An update soon to fix this problem...
    Thanks...

  • Deleted Video Podcasts from iPhone no longer increment iTunes play count

    Prior to downloading iTunes 7.4 this morning, iTunes used to increment the play count of any video podcasts that I deleted on my iPhone to 1. Then refresh would naturally get rid of it. Now, the only way to have the play count set to 1 is if you "keep" the video podcast instead of deleting it. If you delete it, it will just resync the next time you dock your iPhone.
    Has anybody else seen this? Is there a fix?
    I'm going to 1) Reboot my Mac and if that doesn't fix it 2) Restore my iPhone. If that doesn't work, I'll have to leave feedback to Apple.

    Thank goodness I found your post. This bug has been driving me crazy for weeks. I've been looking for a solution and I couldn't find anyone with the same problem...I thought I was the only one...I'm so glad I'm not and that my iPhone isn't corrupted (just a little buggy)!
    I've spent hours trying to solve this on my own and never figured out that I just needed to keep the darn video. Notice too that if you use the Delete button to delete a video, and then reboot the iPhone, the video reappears in the video queue, but it is no longer playable. Very strange.
    Thanks so much for posting. Apple support said they never heard of this problem before...I guess they don't read posts or feedback. Hrumph! What do you have to do around here to get a bug fixed?!!

    Our picture transfer from iphone, ipads and or Sony DSC-W150 camera ended when we changed int providers from xfinity to frontier. All attempts to troubleshoot have not corrected problem. The only changes to the system that was functioning properly are Fios int service and router. All apple components are using the fios router. Can anyone Help get us up and running again? Thanks

    How have you been making the physical connection from:
    iPhone
    iPads
    Sony DSC-W150 camera
    ...to your Mac?
    If WiFi, have you changed the WiFi encryption method or WiFi password? If so, each device need the new information netered into it manually to get onto your "new" WiFi Network.

    I am using final cut express 4. It seems that any clip over a certain length, say 5 min, does not fully transfer! All shorter clips are perfectly fine. Is there some reason why longer clips are not fully transferred? (a half blue circle shows up on the transfer list, indicating that the clip was not fully transferred. When I check in the capture scratch folder, sure enough the whole clip is not there!
    Is there some glitch in final cut express that only allows short clips to be transferred in full?

    Thanks for the reply. I'll try to answer all the questions (I am a relative novice). Your help is appreciated.
    By the way, the other reply I received suggested the following:
    In Final Cut Express>System Settings>Scratch Discs make sure the Limit Capture/Export File Segement Size To: is not checked.
    I did this and it was already unchecked. So this is not the answer...
    The strange thing is, I have been logging and transferring with FCE for 2 yrs without any problems at all with shorter clips, but have come up against the problem with long clips (over 5 or so min)  the whole time. I got around it by simply making sure I stopped recording after less than 5 min while shooting footage. OR if I accidentally got a long clip, I import into imovie and then import into FCE. Not very streamline and I worry about compressions altering quality!
    I am now trying to import a 20 min and a 17 min clip and it only transfers around 3 minutes of each, I have re-tried several times and it happens repeatedly. The blue circle in the transfer list shows up as a half blue circle instead of full. Clip cuts off after 3 or so minutes.

  • Ihone 4s lost all contacts. I tried to restore from backup but the error message now says there is not enough room. I have deleted all the apps without making any more room on iphone. Why did contact disappear and how do I get them back?

    In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
    iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum.

  • CS 4 Cut one long clip in to smaller clips

    How would I cut one long clip in to many smaller clips and then put those clips back in to the bin for later
    I have a few long clips but only want peices of them

    Bill gave me advice on this about 6 months ago, as I had the same question with CS3...I imagine in this instance CS4 is the same.
    Here's what he said:
    1) leave extra room on the in out points when the big clip is in the source monitor and you are deciding on the subciip length...so if you have to adjust later you have "handles" to expand a little bit ...
    2) if you dont have to make subclips "dont" ...just drag from source monitor to timeline...using the in out points...as it makes no real difference to the original video file...its just code in the program...  however, in my case I wanted to the subclips due to learning about "scripted" stuff and 3 cameras...
    Then I discovered (tutorial)  that by choosing in out points in the source monitor and dragging that straight to the project panel it automatically creates the subclip and all you have to do is "name" it...or leave default timecode name...saved a lot of time cause I was using the mouse to choose "create subclip" etc  before I learned about that shortcut

  • I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6.  Everything converted fine until I deleted an app in error.  When I downloaded it from iTunes, my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers.  Can I go back and re-sync one app from my old phone?

    I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6.  Everything converted fine.  Yesterday I deleted an app in error.  When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion.  Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?  

    Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

  • FCE capture from my Canon XHA1 captures as one long clip

    I've never had this problem capture using FCE before. I'm capturing from a Canon XHA1 and it's capturing the video as one long clip rather than the many short clips I shot. And unlike when you capture DV, you can't use the "DV start/stop Detect option" when the footage is HD..so that's not a solution.
    I'm using a new Macbook pro and was wondering if that has anything to do with it given that i"m using the newest OSX as well.
    Any ideas? It appeared to do the same thing when I captured into iMovie.
    Or or is there a setting on the camera that I've failed to change?

    Dear Phojo1,
    I also have a XHA1 and am experiencing the same problem. I was wondering if you shot your footage in HD, and what are your settings on your camera for recording and outputting. The first footage I captured I used hd with 1440x 1080 apple intermediate with 29.97 rate. I had no problem. It captured each clip separately. Now I can only capture with dv/ntsc settings. I'm am trying to see where the problem is. By the way this started happening when I upgraded to 4.01. It also does the same in imovie. Thanks for any information.

    If it has the same (bad) behavior on two different systems then there is a very good chance that the  drive is toast.
    BTW you'll get better response to your questions if the question actually reflects the problem you are having. In this case it would have been better to say you couldn't access the drive rather then that it doesn't show on the desktop.

    If you have anti virus software installed, disable that.
    Turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy
    Check your internet speeds just in case >  Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test
    Try not using other applications that require downloading files while downloading media from iTunes.

    Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.
