Making a video out of pictures

I want to explain my own program, I’ve got several screenshots of it. All screenshots are in the .PNG format. I’ve imported all the screenshots into a new Composition. How can I set the duration for each screenshot? And how can I animate a courser which shows how to use the program?

AE has text layers. That aside, Camtasia records video, not screenshots. Camtasia can also store live mouse coordinates in a metadata stream and attach any kind of cursor graphic you like. Camtasia can insert text as well as "callouts". Need I go on? Point in case: You are probably looking at the wrong tool trying to do this in AE. And even when you do, explore all options before writing it off. You really need to watch those basic tutorials and adapt your thinking rather than settling on a fixed workflow.

I am making a video out of still images.

I am making a video out of still images. I would like to start zoomed in on a certain image and have the video show the image as it zooms out. I would like the speed of the zoom to be the same from start to finish. How can i achieve this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Sounds like Ken Burns in the Crop function is exactly what you're looking for.

Making 1 video out of 2

Hi,
I hope this is the proper forum.
I have a movie that is 10 minutes long, but I only need the
1st minute and starting at 3.50 till 4.05 minutes.
I have imported and defined 2 videos, one for the 1st minute,
and the second one for the second portion.
But now I don't know how to combine the 2 videos into one. I
thought I could do it with the timeline but I can't quite get it to
work.
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks, I haven't looked yet in Air, guess this is my chance.
So what I want to do can't be done directly in Flash ?
I'll try to download and install

Video out to monitor acting goofey!

Hi
I have the Canopus ADVC-100. FW from MBP and FCE to the ADVC, composit to my TV monitor. Went to Video Out-Refresh Video devices, then checked the NTSC.
Yesterday it was working perfectly. Today the video shows on the monitor but when I hit the JKL keys, the video doesn't move. Just sits there until I hit the K (stop), then the picture jumps to where the timline playhead is.
A week ago it worked perfectly, then this freezing started again. 1 day good, 2 days later bad! I'm at my wit's end.
This really all started when I had my external LaCie HD in the FW800 port and the Monitor in the FW400 port. My eSATA cable and PciE card kept unplugging from the MBP so that's when I put the LaCie into the FW800 port.
Then I noticed that when 2 items were plugged into both of the FW (400/800) ports the FW 400 wouldn't work. Could it be a problem with the controller card in the laptop? That's when I put the LaCie back onto the eSATA, and that's when the monitor strted working right again. But now it's back to it's old tricks
I don't know what else to do and I need that monitor. I tested the Canopus box by plugging it back into my HP and running video out from Vegas. It works fine.
Anything else I can do here?
Allen

Hi Martin
Thank you very much. What good is it if you have a FW400 and FW800 and you can only use 1 at a time? That sort of negates even using a FW hub if there is such a thing. Or possibly daisy chaining HD's? Is the Mac Pro any different from the MBP? I have 2 FW HD's and need to transfer files between them. My LaCie and a small portable HD. How's that gonna happen if I can't use both FW ports? Yes, right now I got the LaCie on the eSATA port though but let's assume I need to use both the FW ports! My God! Even my PC's don't work this way. And I want to switch to all MAC's? Hmmmm.
Secondly, after I posted the original message, I happened to re-size my canvas window by making the browser and viewer smaller and as soon as I resized the window the darn thing started workiing! I don't believe this. I'm not shutting anything down tonight! H9nestly! I didn't do anything else except resizing the Canvas window!
As far as your instructions, I believe I mentioned above that the MBP does see the ADVC. There was a frozen still on the TV monitor. It just didn't move until I stopped the timline from playing. Then the TV picture jumped to where the playhead was. I wasn't getting video, just stills.
Now it's working so I'm wondering if there isn't something not right with my MBP? I have the extended Apple Care but I need to get this project done. Another bit of info is that the timeline contains 11 hours of video! But the LaCie on the eSATA seems to be keeping up. All the video files are on the LaCie scratch disk. In other words I can play the timeline just fine. Now we started creating separate sequences for different parts of the video for ease in editing the sections.
Well, tha's all the info I can give you. this is really wierd!

K1 - HDMI video out issue

Hello,
First post to this forum.
I bought my K1 end of November. I purchased two micro-HDMI cables, and not seeing video out. Briefly saw the picture on screen once or twice, but nothing consistent. Have plugged my K1 into 4 or 5 different HDMI-enabled monitors/TVs, no luck. The cable doesn't seem to sit very securely in the hdmi port. These are definitely micro HDMI cables I purchased from two different sources (not mini-HDMI). They may only have been HDMI 1.3 version cables, but I think they should have worked.
Sent my K1 in for Lenovo service and came back this week. Everything with HDMI checked out according to Lenovo support. I actually just ordered two more "high speed" 3 ft cables from monoprice hoping this solves the issue (version 1.4). I should have the two new cables next week
Has anyone else had issues with HDMI video out? I would like to know from others if the HDMI worked well for them. Don't know what to expect.
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

My Micro HDMI to HDMI cable works fine with my K1. I have to watch that my micro HDMI plug is fully into the K1's socket, because my case sometimes is too close to the socket and the plug touches my case preventing the plug to fit all the way into the socket and making connection. Like the case. It's a MoKo from Amazon.com for $20.

TV Video Out is Dark?

Anyone experiencing an issue where the iPhone TV out video come out very dark on the TV?
Before update 1.1.3 I was able to connect my iPhone to my TV and watch video with no problems. Since update 1.1.3, the video out from my iPhone to my TV comes out very dark.
I don't think it's an issue with the video file because it looks fine just playing on the iPhone. Also, if I play the same video from my NANO to my TV...the video comes out fine.
Tried restoring iPhone and now just tried update 1.1.4...still the same issue.
Just wondering if it's my iPhone or the software update causing the issue.

Hi ieusu.
I have the same issue with my iPhone. It has been the same since I bought it (1.1.3) and after the recent update (1.1.4). I use MPEG Streamclip to encode TV shows recorded on my PVR and then sync them to the iPhone. They are always significantly darker with lower contrast than the original recording when viewed via TV out from the iPhone. But they are fine when viewed on either the iPhone screen, my Powerbook screen or its TV out.
I took my iPhone to my local Apple Store Genius Bar. They really had not got a clue. They reluctantly wheeled out a cheap LCD TV so I could demonstrate but the picture was so bad and blocky it was a pointless exercise. The guy dealing with me was not interested and was making me feel that I was making a fuss over nothing. He ended the session by basically saying what did I expect from a phone and that you can't expect it to be as good as a dedicated player.
My point to him was that I have to encode with severe adjustments in MPEG Streamclip in order to compensate for the poor output. In doing so I render the encoded files useless for other devices because they are too bright and contrasty. Therefore how am I supposed to build up a library of MP4s that I can play on the iPhone, Apple TV etc if I have to do a dedicated (very time consuming) encode for each device. Surely this goes against Apple's "it just works" ethos . He shrugged and still failed to see my point.
I took the various sample encodes with me on disk but was told there was no other iPhone available to run a comparison! What we did check was the cable. My iPhone TV out cable is a composite cable and the picture on their TV was the same when mine was replaced with alternative composite and component cables. So it's safe to say the cable is not at fault.
By the way, to improve the picture for TV out, I set the adjustments in MPEG Streamclip to +40 Brightness and +140% Contrast. It actually needs more but that setting is the limit that allows me to alternatively view on the iPhone screen (with the brightness turned way down!).
As this thread is the first I have found regarding this issue (and by the positive reviews of iPhone TV out I have read) I am pretty sure that you and I have faulty handsets. When I have more time I am going to go back to Apple with this and try to get them to take it more seriously.
Report back if you get any further resolution to the issue.
Good luck.

Video out from ABC app to my TV

I have ABC's app that allows me to watch their shows. It works fine on the iPad, but when I connect an Apple Composite AV cable to my TV all I get is sound. No video. I have my iPad set to video NTSC but I don't get it on my TV. Any ideas out there? Thanks.
donald

Only a few apps right now support the Video Out function... the developer is tasked with making their apps compatible with this...over time more and more will I assume... For now only a few native apps are like the Movies in iPod section or the Keynote App (strangely Pages and Numbers are NOT supporting video out currently)

What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring?

What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring? I can't get iPhone 4 video to work on my TV screen
I have just bought an MD098ZM/A (Apple 30-pin Digital AV Adapter). I am struggling to get it to show a picture on my TV. I know I'm doing something right because the audio is coming out of my TV speakers but no picture on the TV screen.
I have used the same HDMI channel (on the TV side) with the same cable and my thunderbolt port (MacBook Air) without any trouble - and on the same app (BBC iPlayer download then full-screen mode).
Now I note that the packaging for the MD098ZM/A says video-out on iPhone 4 but mirroring only on iPhone 4S. I only have an iPhone 4 (not the 4S). Now if the lack of iPhone 4 support for mirroring means that I can't play video material out to my TV, then in what sense is there any video-out capability at all?
There is only safety and warranty paperwork in the Apple adapter packaging - no help information. And I haven't found further guidance online either.
I do note somewhere online that it suggests that basic non-mirroring video-out (for this adapter) only works with some external TV sets. Any way of finding out which? I'm using a Sanyo CE32LD90-B LCD TV if it helps.
So far not doing very well.

Now found these but have had to give up on this adapter!

How can I determine the type of video out connector I need?

Howdy,
I have a white macbook purchased Jun/2008. I want to connect to a TV but don't know what adapter I need. How can I determine the type of video out jack my macbook has?
System Profiler says the model identifier is "MacBook 4,1". Under Graphics/Displays the only thing it says about the "Display Connector" is that no display is connected. Too bad it doesn't tell me what type of connector it is. If I knew the name of the connector I'd probably be home free. But it seems like every macbook model has a different video connector (since the state of the art has advanced over the years) and I haven't been able to keep up with the names.
Now, I have a 6" long adapter that will convert this connector to VGA. And searching the Apple store for VGA adapters, the existence of mine says my connector is might be one of "Mini DisplayPort", "Apple Mini DVI", "Apple DVI", or "Apple Micro-DVI". But then there is also the connector at
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8639G/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
and that looks like the one I have. But unlike the other adapters, this one is just called a "VGA Display Adapter". Does the connector have a name? How can I find adapters that have that same connector?
I know I could use the adapter I have, plus a VGA to VGA cable, to hook up to a TV. But the quality of the VGA signal is poor in the digital world. My goal is to hook up to the TV via HDMI. Is this even possible? By which I mean, will my macbook generate the signals necessary to be able to be converted to HDMI?
Thanks for any help,
Zebulon T

Thanks, Ded,
You're right, the cable that I have won't work. I't from my previous, 2004 iBook. This is pretty embarrassing... I looked at the cable but didn't bother to try plugging it in.
Looking at the close-up picture of the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter, that does look like the right connector. So I have Mini-DVI, and the other apter you pointed to can convert this to DVI. I'll take a look to see what makes the most sense, connector wise, downstream from that.
Thanks very much.

Video out doesn't work anymore

The video out doesn't work properly any more on my G4 12inch powerbook. It had been working fine, but now it doesn't work properly with either of the mini-vga adapters that came with my powerbook. When using the mini-vga to composite/s-video, the image appears on the tv but there is no colour and the picture isn't stable at any resolution over 800 x 600.
When connecting to a monitor or projector using the mini-vga to VGA adapter, the image appears on the screen etc but the colour is completely wrong (everything is shades of green).
I can't think of anything that might be the problem, though I did upgrade from 10.3 to 10.4 and I'm wondering is this might be the problem??
Thanks.

MacBook Video Out problems.

Hey all.
Bit of an issue regarding my Macbook. It's a 2ghz Duo With ram upgraded to 4gb by myself. For some reason the video out on my Macbook has decided to stop working. Is it possible that it's hardware related? I have tried the following.
1: Bypassing my Onkyo TSR 609 amp straight to TV
2: Lowering resolutions (although 1080i and p was fine)
3: Bootcamping into windows to see if its an OSX issue. (my friends Samsung laptop works just fine through all the various combinations)
4: Punching it.
Im at a loss now, was working fine, got my new amp and was working fine through that for a week (havent changed any settings on it, and as I said same issues straight to TV which is a 42" Sharp XD1E) and the picture just comes out as multicoloured digital noise but you can just about make out whats on screen.Its a fairly weak connection on the MiniDVI port on laptop itself, It's connected via MiniDVI to DVI/HDMI dongle. I have also swapped out cables. It's not the amp as my PS3 blasts out 1080p with NO issues, please help!

Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.

No idea why that was suggested.
You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.

Video out of sync in Final Cut Express... but in sync everywhere else!

'm working on making one video that is composed of two camera angles of the same thing. So, I have two video tracks in Final Cut Express, one for the side view, and one for the main view. Both videos are Quicktime Movies (.mov extension).
Here are the file details:
Main Cam: duration - 1hr 26min 46sec // file size - 5.74gb
Side Cam: duration - 1hr 29min 18sec // file size - 5.63gb
[the side cam video is a little longer because I started filming with that camera a little bit before the main cam and stopped the filming a little earlier]
Now, here's the problem. Both videos are in my Final Cut Express project. The Main Cam video runs fine. But the Side Cam video's video is out of sync with the audio by a lot (somewhere between 2 and 6 full seconds). Normally I would think that something had happened during the filming, but here's the odd thing: the Side Cam video plays perfectly in sync out of Final Cut Express.
If I open it in Quicktime, or even in iMovie, the audio and video are perfectly in sync for the entirely of the video. But when I import it into FCE and watch it there, whether it's in the timeline, in the viewer, rendered, or unrendered (I've tried them all), it's horribly out of sync.
So, the video plays fine and in sync everwhere except for in the Final Cut Express program. The Main Cam video, which has a very similar duration and file size and which is the same file type, plays perfectly even in FCE. The only problem is the Side Cam, and I can't figure out why this is, or how to fix it.
Another thing: these videos were not captured from a camera into Final Cut. I already have the video files on the computer, and as I've said, the audio is fine there. To get them into FCE, I use file -> import.
Also, if anyone has suggestions on how to fix this, could you provide directions of some sort? I'm fairly new to Final Cut.
Any advice would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much in advance!

Hi(Bonjour)!
Does both camcorders was set to 16-48 khz audio?
One way to synch audio that drifting from video (or from anoter audio lenght) is to set precisely 2 markers (one near the beginning, another near the end) in the correct lenght video track. Try to find spots where you can hear and see a common reference. The result of the workaround will put a corrected audios between those points only.
Now note the duration between those 2 markers in video track.
*Unlink the video/audio clip with the wrong duration.*
Select the drifting audio and put the 2 markers at the intended reference points.
The duration should be less or more than the video.
Use the blade tool to cut the wrong lenght audio at markers.
The tips is to set a new duration for this portion with the set speed command.
With this +new duration+, align the in point of audio with the first video marker. The out point of audio should be aligned with the second video marker.
Now the audio should match the video lenght and should be in synch.

Distorted video-out signal on Qosmio F10

Hi,
Up until recently my video-out function on my Qosmio F10 worked just fine. When I connected my laptop to the TV the other day, using a s-video cable, the picture had turned quite distorted. The picture on the TV flickers and sometimes disappears totally.
My laptop has the Nvidia GeForce FX Go5700 graphics card and I have changed no settings what so ever from the point in time when the video-out was working properly.
To debug I've bought a new s-video cable and also a scart-adapter. Using these I've eliminated that the TV's s-video in port is the problem. It seems to me as if something is wrong with the signal from the graphics card.
I'd be very grateful for a diagnose on this issue.
Thanks and regards,
Johan

Hi,
I've made sure that I use the latest drivers (although the ones that Toshiba provides are not exactly brand new!). I've also made sure that I use the correct TV-format (PAL-B in my case). Furthermore, I've tried both using the s-video port on the TV directly and also using a scart adapter... The result is still the same...
I'm inclined to believe that there is something wrong with the hardware (e.g. a loose contact in the s-video out port). In that case i guess this might be a warranty issue...
Rgds,
Johan

No video out to tv

I have an ipad 2 I always connected it to the tv via the video connectors on the tv red yellow white cables. It worked fine in fact I watched it for about three nights recently. On the third night the video vanished. The audio still comes in but no video. I went to the apple store and they checked the ipad said there was nothing wrong and gave me free new connectors. It is still not allowing video out to the tv monitor. My old ipod 5 will do video out fine. Any suggestions?

I bought the adapter from apple, so I think it's apple branded.
Here's a picture of it:
http://is.gumtree.com/ad_image/live/big/279323036.jpg
apple warrentied it and they actually replaced it the first time I went in and also tested it on their MacBook, they even tested my svideo cord.
