Merging Video but Keeping Chapters in QT Pro

Hi all,
Pretty much as the title - I've got two .MP4 files with chapter markings, but when I merge them in QT Pro to save as one bigger file the chapter markings are lost. Is there a setting to retain them?

Yes, just hit the delete key on the track to remove the bad video and put the new video in (best to encode as mpeg-2 outside of doing this)
More details and videos on how to do this (in step 2 do not need the markers in the export and skip step 3 not needed, just take the FCP movie into Compressor)

How can I cut some video but keep audio running?

Hello
I once knew how to do this but forgot, and can't find it in any discussions or help files.
I have some shaky, crummy video but the audio in it is good.
I am editing the video, but I want to keep a running audio track from the original DV import.
"Paste over at playhead" is not the answer (unless I got it wrong).
I doubt this is the best way to do it but I am presently copying a clip; extracting the audio; placing that audio back into the timeline under the video; hacking up the video...and hoping the length is close to perfect. (Surely not the way to do it).
Tips? Thanks

David
You know, somehow your explanation made more sense than the iMovie Help file explanation. (Though it has some additional info that touches on what remains a bit of a problem for me).
In any case, thanks. I am using this technique right now. The difficulty that remains for me is how to deal with a short segment of video (to paste) over a 2 or 3 times longer segment of audio. The help info and my own experimentation show that the remaining space gets filled with black. Not very pretty or smooth.
Which leads me to my response to the other person who replied to my post...
*Glo H*
Yes. I am copying the clip so I can have needed video to fill the space as the audio plays. But I'm pretty sure this is not the smart, most efficient way.
(See David's reply).
I am continuing experimentation but am very much open to any other suggestions.
Thanks again.

How to connect jpeg to timeline clip replacing video but keeping audio

I put some video in the project timeline and now I would like to connect several still pictures (jpeg) at specific points in this video so that you hear the sound from the video but only see the still image.
Connecting my jpeg to the clip in the timeline is not a problem. Once connected, however, the still picture only covers a part of the video (i.e. only the center part of the video) during playback. The jpeg is superimposed on the center part of the video, but the sides of the video still show up as played.
What i would like is for the jpeg to completely superimpose the video in the clip, but be able to listen to the audio story told by the video in the background .
I tried resizing the jpeg to 16:9 aspect ration before importing it, but this made no difference. I have also considered doing the connecting in the other direction, i.e. to place the jpeg into the primary timeline and connect the audio part of the video to the jpeg. This might work, but I would rather not do this because it would require adjusting the size of many video clips.
I am a novice, so any help would be much appreciated.
Francisco

Problem solved.
To a large extent the solution is illustrated here around minute 13:47 in this tutorial by Jerad Hill:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F-Y6iMdtQg&feature=related
Here it is suggested that you double click in the picture and zoom in and out to get the picture adjusted to take up the whole screen. This you do by opening the inspector, on the video tab, and the transform tool. You use the scale slider to increase or decrease the scale of your photograph (or connected video clip) so that it fits the screen.
I will leave this discussion posted just in case it helps someone else.

.mov files no video but has sound in premiere pro cs6

I know this isn't adobe. However, all of my .mov files play with no video in quicktime, premiere pro cs6, and sony vegas 9. I've looked into the missing codec, and quicktime brings me to the general page with multiple codecs listed. This happens with two different types of cameras. Both HD. I have Windows 7. Does anyone know why the files won't play video? Thanks.

jon - no idea why you were such a snarky SOB in your reply. person was just asking for some help. obviously stuck and could use some advise. you could have chosen to ask a few clarifying questions to see if additional info could be gleaned. instead you CHOSE to be mean. NOT COOL. if you hate being a support person, dont offer your help and dont go online. otherwise, change your attitude.
If you feel my comments were inappropriate, then feel free to report my post as such. If you feel the information was incorrect, then please provide what you feel to be more correct information. The object of my comments was to 1) point out that no accurate solution was possible without amplifying information, 2) inform the individual why more information was needed, and 3) describe at least three methods for getting the required information. It was not my intent to be either "mean" or "cool" but rather to teach the individual how to analyize their video content in order to become more self-sufficient in the future. Perhaps if you concentrated more on the content of my response than on your emotional interpretations of what you think was implied, you might find something of value.
My question for you is,"Did you actually create a new profile tonight to hide your normal identity while you berate my response?"
for lordrebeccasama - there are people out there that would like to help. I would suggest you try to get answers to some of these questions and post - people may have some ideas: Does this problem occur with all MOV files or just certain ones. if just certain ones, can you ell which camera or source produced the file? can you see if the files can be played on other machines (like another PC or a MAC)? if you can, try to get into the properties of the MOV file (the container) and see if you can tell how it was encoded. good luck - and on behalf of all people that actually like to help, i apologize on behalf of jon.
Since you have essentially asked for the same information I did, albeit in a more indirect manner, I don't feel any apology is needed on my behalf.

Integrating still photos over video but keeping existing audio

I am currently trying to make a video that includes still photos. I have the video clips i want in my final project, as well as the photos. I am having a problem keeping the existing audio playing while my still photos are shown. I want to make it so you see photos while I am talking about them in the video clip, but then allows it to return to the video in the same duration...let me know what you think.

In iMovie/Preferences, make sure that Advanced Options are turned on.
Drag your photo from the Photo Browser and drop it on top of the video clip at the frame where you want it to start. A contextual menu will pop up. Choose "Cutaway".

Replacing part of video but keeping original audio

I have a clip whose audio I want to use but I need to replace the video--what is the best way to do this?
I deleted the video track so now I basically have a blank space to fill in. Do I just need to find another part of my shot that is the same duration & drop it in, or is there a better approach?

That will do the trick.
Switch Linking off and adjust the Track Destinations accordingly if you have trouble dropping in only the video.
FCE is non-destructive so your origianl captue stays in tact.

Swap video but keep chapter marks?

Is it possible to replace the video file in a timeline without losing the Encore chapter marks? I do not mean dynamically linked video from Premiere or AE, but pre-rendered video imported into Encore CS6 and chapter markes created in Encore.
I am having an issue with Encore insisting on transcoding my .264 video file, so I want to replace it with a .m4v file, but I do not want to lose the chapter marks in doing so. It's annoying having to add them over and over again.

Hi,
I think that the "Replace Asset" function should work for you. Try right clicking on the asset in the project window, and select the new video.
Good luck
Daniel

How do I merge columns but keep the content in both?

I'm using Numbers '09.
If I have first names in column A and last names in column B...how do I combine both into column A to look like this: Last Name, First Name (ex: Doe, John)?
Thanks,
Mark

m,
First, add a new column "before" the existing column A. It's not possible to combine the current content of A with the current content of B and have them appear in the place of the original Column A data. So, we add a new column for the combination. If you don't want to continue to display the original First Name data hide that column.
When you combine two character strings, it's called Concatenation. There's a concatenation operator and a concatenation function. You can use either. Here are examples that meet your spec:
In the first data row of the new column A, write: =C&", "&B
Copy and Paste or Fill to the rest of column A.
Regards,
Jerry

HT4623 I lost my apps and iTunes after a restore, but it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone 4. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos, but I'm still getting the same message.

I did an iphone 4 software update. It then asked me to do a "restore" in order for me to be able to use the latest iTunes. I did a "restore" to "factory settings" (this was the only option listed) thinking I'd be able to sync later and get everything back and ended up losing all my purchased apps and iTunes. When I open iTunes, "Welcome to your new iphone" and it says I can re-do the "restore" and choose my lastest update. I assume this will give me back my apps and iTunes. When i choose to do this, it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos from the phone, but I'm still getting the same message every time I re-try. I don't want to delete everything, but I don't know what to do...? Thanks!

Thanks but I think it has something to do with the 'restore'. in the newest iTunes 11, when I click on the tab "iphone", it redirects me to the "welcome to your new iphone" page and asks about doing a 'restore'. I already did a 'restore', but it went to the original factory settings and I want to 'restore' to my lastest back up as of April 12. When I choose that option, it says my iphone doesn't have enough space. I don't know how much I need to delete in order to make it work. I've deleted lots, but it only has 4.1 GB available. I'm not sure why this isn't enough to do a 'restore'. I don't want to delete all my photos and videos, but maybe I will have to?...7.7GB is used up for that. I can't sync or do ANYTHING...

I have a photo of an ice surface and another of a flower. Now I want to create a merged photo with the flower lying under the ice. I understand that I shall use the function "Layer" and have even read in the manual and looked on a video, but that information is not sufficiently detailed for me. I have tried several options, but I come now way. Generally it seems that your information is only for the ones who can, not for the people who can´t although it is we who really need to learn. Please give me a step by step (click by click) information on how I can get the ice above the flower and then make the ice partly transparent so the flower is seen underneath. Please send me an e-mail Erik Solbu [email protected]

Open a new document big enough for your image. Then additional open your ice and flower image as well. Copy each and paste it into your blank document. They will be placed on their own separate layers.
Make sure in your layers panel. (Bottom right) the ice is above the flower, by dragging it in place. In that same layers panel click the ice layer to select in and find the opacity meter above. Drag to the left until you get the effect you desire.

HT201177 I have my macbook pro hooked up to my Samsung tv via HDIC. I have good video, but no audio. Can anyone help?

I have have my macbook pro hooked up to my Samsung tv via HDMI. I have great video but no audio from TV. Only what is coming out of my computer,
Never mind, I lreferenced some other posts with the solution. Thanks anyway!

Only MacBook Pro's from mid-2010 onwards support audio through the mini-DisplayPort. You will need to hook up a cable from the headphone socket to the TV.

First things first, let's get Acrobat running. When you get the "trial expired" notice, it's because Acrobat doesn't know you have a subscription. To tell it, you have to sign in to tell it you have a license.

Hello:
I am very much a novice with Final Cut. I am trying to import some video files from my desktop but keep getting an error message that says, "File error 1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown". The file type is .mov, 35MB, 1920 x 1080, Codec MPEG-2 video linear PCM timecode, color profile HD (1+1+1). Can someone help? Thanks, Paul

You can't import MPEG-2 files directly to FCP X.
Can you play this file in Quicktime Player? If so, then you can use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert this to Quicktime. Use the ProRes codec.
