Can anyone help me figure why there is a popping sound when I move from an iphoto still image to a new video clip? The sound has been removed from the video clips and there is another soundtrack underneath it all. Help?

My current project is like many I have created in the past. I have removed the sound from my video clips and laid another soundtrack under the entire project. Now, when I add an iphoto still image to the project, when it goes back into video there is a popping sound. I've never had this happen in the past and have made many projects in the past just like this one. Any way to troubleshoot this issue? Thanks so much for your help.

How can I export a still picture from a video clip?

How can I export a still picture from a video clip?

I'm able to export stills from iMovie without anything extra. I create a new project - call it Exports say. Now, in your event clip with the frames you want as stills, select a single frame and drag it into your project. Repeat for other stills you want to export. Then choose Share -> Export Using QuickTime.
In the pop-up, choose Movie to Image Sequence. Click Options and choose the image format you want. Playing with the number of stills lets you pick how many stills you want from each second of video. Hit OK and the stills will be generated in the directory you choose.
I've only done this with HD video. Don't know how well it works with lower res, interlaced vid.

Exporting an image from a video in final cut

Hey Everyone, I was wondering if there is a way of doing exporting a still image from a video in final cut.
Sometimes when I want to do this, I just take a printscreen of the video Full screened, but I know that's probably not the best quality.
Hope you can help me out, thanks in advance!

You need to get a life. The guy has been waiting for days for you to answer his question. You didn't bother, so I simply offered him some verification that he's not the only one that has seen the problem. If you knew how to read (maybe you should read it again) you'll see that I was not offering him a solution. Grow up David.

It's not that I "didn't bother" to answer the poor guy, I've been making a living. Been shooting video and timelapse in Hells Canyon, on the Snake River, where my company has a series of hydroelectric plants. Fabulous weather, great scenery, and a sphincter puckering jetboat ride down and then back up two sets of Class 4 rapids. I got my priorities. I would not have traded the photography or the ride for the effort required to answer anyone's questions.
Thanks again for your contribution to the thread and your more recent character evaluation and time management suggestions. I'll keep them in mind in the same way I will try to recall Jim's Range Check admonition.

How can I take a still image from a video?

How can I take a still image from a video?

I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX. It's kinda hidden in the "share." Go File/Share/Add Destination. You want "Save Current Frame." After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

Raspberry Pi B+ capture a image from a video cam

Hello,
is there any way to capture a image from the video camera. I didn't find any media class for video. Nor did I find any Runtime.exec to use a native linux command.
Did I overseen something?

Hi Klaus,
There a few ideas in design stage, but nothing solid enough to talk about. And actually it should not have been possible with older ME as it's specifically prohibited by the spec. I mean native methods in Java applications. Of course there may be other means to communicate with native applications, like files, sockets etc. But no direct calls
The date for ME 8.1 GA (General Availability) release is not confirmed yet. But it should happen quite soon, stay tuned
Regards.

On iMovie how can you mute a section of the sound track so you can hear the audio from the video clip?

.

Hey,
If you double-click on the soundtrack you can open it up in the inspector tab and lower the soundtrack so that you can hear the audio from the video clip.
A great resource for finding answers to questions like this is http://www.imovietutorialhelp.com
You can ask questions just like these and they will be answered for you. If you need a tutorial video made or anything like that, you can go there as well and ask for a video to made as well. Check it out.
If you still have questions on how to do this, they can help you for sure.

How to extract audio from a video clip

I am editting a video, and I need to extract the audio from a video clip. On the old iMovie it was really easy, all you had to do was press apple K I think. Thanks in advanced for your help.

Select the clip in the sequence.
Then command-L to unlink the clips.
Then select the audio and delete.
As a suggestion, two things:
1. Explain what you want to do. If it is delete the audio, then that is different than extracting the audio;
2. Do a search in the pdf manual in the help manual

Removing music but not speech from a video clip??

As a music teacher I want to remove the music from a video clip but not the speech so that my students can compose their own music to accompany the clip. Is there any way I can do this in iMovie?

Hi
You are describing to scarce. Is music and speech separated in time or do they over-lap ?
• If separated - Yes audio can be muted
• If over-lap - No Music and Speech is airborne wave or air compressions in time. So they are of the same nature and a program that would be able to differentiate them would be a NASA-project and most probably beyond. (most probably in need of Field-Vector-Analysis - and big big big Computer)
What You have is
• Silence parts that is not speech - better done in an Audio-editor as Audacity (free on internet) then using Equalizer filter to decrease frequencies not dominated in the speech. And that's about the best one can do.
In TV-broadcasting one more often silence all audio and Speech Dubbed. Tedious but best possibly result.
Anecdotal - In Sweden 1950-1960 there was a Composer/Music master Sten Broman who wanted an Accordion-filter on his Radio. To be told in any program he appeared in.

How to extend audio from a video clip over an adjacent still image

I'm in iMovie 11. My project looks like this: video A, transition, still image B, transition, video C. I want the sound from video C to start playing while still image B is on the screen. I tried following the iMovie 11 help instructions for extending a video clip's audio. I click on video C and open the precision editor. From there I can grab video C and move it back so that it overlaps with the still image, but all that happens is the still image still shows up, without sound, and video clip C starts in the middle. The help instructions seem to indicate that I should be able to drag only the audio and make that overlap the still image, but it's not happening. Either the video and audio move together, or nothing moves.
When I try detatching video C from its audio, I just end up with a big mess because later the audio and video don't synch up.
What am I doing wrong?

I am having the same challenge... any tips here would help me out in a big way. I recorded my boss tdoing a training session and now I would like to have the powerpoint slides change as necessary - but I want the audio to remain. I would love to just get the slides to change rather than back to full before bringing up the next slide. Jim, if you come up with anything, let me know. I have VC2 pro.

Remove a logo from a video clip with content aware fill?

I know you can remove logo in photos using content aware fill, but you can't do it to a video clip. You can only do it to a frame, but you can't apply it to the entire video. I know photoshop is not a video editing software, but having this sort of feature makes sense for photoshop users especially with content aware fill.

I'm a career software architect engineer of 35 years, and I have to side with Howard on this one.
Like Howard, I feel you're thinking about this way too simplistically. Trying to work out what best to fill a part of an image with in 3 dimensions (x, y, and time) and have it look believable almost boggles the mind, especially thinking of a general case (your logo example is far to simplistic in itself). The task is far from a simple looping repeat of what is being done 2 dimensionally on a still frame. Frankly, it's more likely related to what's done with CGI, where scenes are modeled in 3D (4D actually) so certain elements can be replaced believably.
Think about it... If CAF is presently replacing part of an image with something it finds through some heuristics in another part of the image, and the stuff in that part of each frame is changing - and it would, because this is video, not still imagery - then it will select differently every time. What makes you think it would select something that even resembles what it selected for another frame? What you'd end up with is a frame by frame mishmash that would just make the outline of the selection obvious.
Regarding CAF applied to individual frames, then your finding the result isn't coming out as expected in all the frames of the video (e.g., when you're testing this concept) may indicate a problem with the way you're using the tool, or possibly even a bug. You might want to describe step by step what you're doing and show the result you're [not] getting.

How to acquire image from S-video camera

Hi,
I have a camera with S-video interface. I use a S-video to USB adaptor to acquire the images from my camera. Popular video editor/maker softwares, for example Windows Movie Maker, ULead VideoStudio, etc.. are able to display the video capture from my camera (using the same S-video to USB adaptor). Thus, I think the adaptor transferred the camera to an USB Directshow camera already? However I cannot grab images/video using Labview. I have installed IMAQdx, and I can use the same LabView VI to grab images/video from my USB camera.
Is there any suggestion for my case?
Thanks.

Make sure you are using the right color channel, in most cases YYUV will not display. Use RGB. Also try changing the resolution settings.

Can I use imovie to make a movie by first making a soundtrack and then adding video clips to illustrate the sound track?

I want to make a movie using imovie 11.
I want to import still photos taken from the inet and import video clips of myself over the stills. I also want this movei to illustrate a soundtrack of my singing with a karaoke file.
Is this possible?
How would I get my voice singing with the itune song so my singing and the itune become one track?
Then could I use that soundtrack to build the movie, rather than start with video an add soundtrack?
This is an ambitions project.
HELP!

Hi
This is a No and Yes question.
No You can not add Audio first in any iMovie from iMovie'08 (version 7.0.x) and onwards. You need to use FinalCut Pro X to do this - Where it's rather straight forward.
Yes - it is a bit tedious but can be faked in iMovie - by first creating a Black .jpg photo. Add this to TimeLine in iMovie as many times (and at max duration) to reserve the time the movie will use. Then add Your Audo track. Then add Your photo and videosequences. There are a function in iMovie that let's You replace the original video with the one You want to insert - "Cutaway" - Then continue till all Black parts are replaced. Movie done !
But really - take a look at FinalCut where this is much easier.

How to unblock flash player when you accidently block a website from playing video clips.

My PC has Firefox 30.0 browser installed on it. The Adobe Flash Player is also of the latest version. I accidently blocked the video clip that I wanted to watch from a University website and now I can't access any of the videos on that website. I have no problem with any other website. I have tried the solutions discussed on the forum and none of these have worked. I wonder if someone can kindly help me in having this issue addressed please.

How did you block the plugin?
If you blocked it via Firefox and not via an extension then you should see a Lego block icon on the left end of the location bar that you can click.
You can inspect and manage the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:
*Click the "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location bar
*Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
*Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab
If you blocked content via an extension like Adblock Plus then you need to click its toolbar icon to check what content is being blocked.
