Movieedit

This guy says I need to open my video file in movieEdit!
http://goprouser.freeforums.org/gopro-editing-twixtor-slow-motion-with-workflow- t2213.html
he posted a dropbox link to the "MovieEdit" - but i cant open any files in MovieEdit, I can´t even open any kinds of program when I click on the MovieEdit icon!
Does anyone know how to open a file in MovieEdit???
Does it have to run with another program or?

I just tried it and opened a ProRes file.
It would seem that you can play, pause or save with a different name. It doesn't appear to do anything else.
One thing that worked was right clicking the application and choosing "Move to Trash". Seems like the best option.

Image Browser downloads to wrong folder

I couldn't find a better category for this question than iPhoto. Sorry if there is one.
I just got a Canon powershot A630 camera. it's great. I was using iPhoto to download images and that was fine. But I thought the Image Browser software that came with the camera would offer more functionality. And i guess it does but I'm having a lot of difficulties with it.
I called Canon and spoke with tech support but they just tell me it works for them so it must be my problem. They are using mac 10.4 and I have 10.3.9 so that might be part of it. The Image Browser version is 5.7.
Here's what happens:
I have specified under "Preferences" in the "Camera Window" (that comes up when I connect the camera to the computer) for the images to be downloaded to a folder I created called "Powershot A630" which resides in the Pictures folder. The default location for download is that same Pictures folder. And that's where the images go, NOT to the folder I specified.
I've tried also setting that in the EOS window (which can only be started when the camera is NOT connected to the computer). Still doesn't help.
The Canon guy ran me through a scenario where I "select" pictures for downloading. In this scenario I get a chance to specify the destination, and in fact, it shows the destination I chose in preferences. And it does download to the correct place. But then, where the Image Browser main window lists "favorite" folders, my destination folder is now listed twice. Not desireable I think.
At this point, I think I'll just go back to iPhoto, but if anyone has a solution, or other reasons why I should use Image Browser I'd love to hear.
One more thing. The second Canon guy I talked with took me into "Image capture" utility and had me set the destination folder there. Don't see where that has any bearing on the activity at hand, though.
Thanks a lot,
Bruce

Smtr,
See my responses (marked "B-") interleaved with your great note...
Bruce,
I love my Canon Powershot A620. The 630 looks
awesome. My Image Browser is version 5.5, and I don't
know what changed with the next versions.
B- Yeah, the a630 is really nice. I previously had an A40 and this is a major step up.
Anyway, the second Canon guy sounds a bit more
knowlegdeable about Macs. The preferences in Image
Capture are where you set which application (or none)
opens automatically when the Mac detects a camera or
card. So if setting it in Image Capture doesn't work,
then I'm not sure what will. I'm afraid I can't
answer your core question here about how to download
to your preferred folder.
B- Thanks for explaining that. It's very clear. I did not understand that from my conversation with the Canon rep.
As for your choice of which app to use, consider
this: Image Browser is just that - an application for
browsing your hard drive and displaying the image
files in various ways. iPhoto is NOT an image
browser. It is a photo organizer with lightweight
editing capabilities and limited version control.
B- That's good to know, too. I was assuming that Imagebrowser was a substitute for iPhoto and I was hoping for increased funcionality. And it does have lots of stuff in it, which was more confusing than anything else.
iPhoto is a database application, so when you use it
you should NOT manipulate items in its library folder
structure from within the Finder.
B- yeah, I had discovered that
With an image
browser you always manipulate the files yourself from
Finder. You alone are responsible for the
organization of your images. With a database you
manipulate your files from inside the application,
and let it take care of the file management
automatically. The two apps are incompatible. If you
import your photos to iPhoto you should not access
them using Image Browser, because you could damage
the library. I know you weren't suggesting combining
the two, I am just trying to highlight the
differences between them.
So ask yourself if you like iPhoto's capabilities. If
you were happy with it before, then there's really no
need to switch to Image Browser. It's like apples and
... cows (oranges are too similar) and the choice is
up to you.
B- the one thing I like so far about imagebrowser is the easy way to view the image full screen. Have not figured out how to do that in iPhoto.
BUT, there is a task inside my Image Browser that I
absolutely LOVE because it does something I can't do
with iMovie. Its called "MovieEdit Task" in
Applications>Image Browser>DVCUtility. It's a great
little thing that lets you take separate video clips
and combine them into one movie. It's much simpler
than iMovie, and optimized to work with your Canon's
video clips. (Whereas iMovie prefers miniDV tape.) It
will allow you to rotate a video clip 90 degrees, so
if you turned the camera on its side to record a
movie clip you can rotate it to portrait view. I have
done this and used the clip in iMovie, and it was
perfect. Without it I would have needed an iMovie
plug-in or had to buy QuickTime Pro.
B- I'll have to look into that. I also have a digital camcorder and have used iMovie. And I'll definitely look into the rotation. My novice friend used my camcorder and shot a bunch of shots of our band with the camcorder rotated 90 degrees.
So, I sometimes use Image Browser due to the way it
handles video clips. Here, it is superior to iPhoto.
But for every day use and for the storage,
organization, and manipulation of my photos, I use
iPhoto (in conjunction with PhotoShop Elements for
real editing).
Just my 4¢.
B- Thanks for the great letter!

Adobe 9 Premiere Elements "file not supported or codec not installed"?

I am trying the Adobe Premiere Elements 9 trial version to determine if I should upgrade from Premiere Elements 7. I was able to perform a "get media" on an AVI file and was able to create a DVD (including menus and chapters) that I can view in my DVD player in PE7.
I decided to create the same DVD project using PE9 so I could compare both programs. When I perform a "get media" on the same AVI file in PE9, I receive the following message: :This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed." I'm not sure why I was able to successfully process the AVI file in PE7 but not in PE9.
The AVI file characteristics are Video: 640(w)x480(h), data rate: 1329kbps, bitrate: 1448kbps, frame rate: 29 frames/second; Audio: bit rate: 118kbps, channels: 2 (stereo), sample rate: 48 kHz.
Anyone have any ideas or suggesstions? Thanks!

Chris,
There are probably 2000 possible CODEC's, with all the variations and tweaks, that can be placed in an AVI wrapper. Recently, some camera mfgrs. have begun wrapping H.264 material, tweaked from the norm, inside of AVI's. Why? I have no clue, but those cause all sort of issues with NLE programs - yet it is being done. To a lesser degree, the same can be said for MOV, WMV and even MPEG/MP4 wrappers. Knowing the file's format is meaningless, especially with the above cited case of H.264 inside of an AVI.
The great free utilities, G-Spot, or MediaInfo, will tell you pretty much all that you need to know about the file(s).
Premiere Elements, and also PrPro, are designed to work well with myriad file types, and specs., but certainly not all. PrE handles some consumer file types, better than its "big brother," but PrPro handles many professional file types, that PrE cannot touch.
I have CyberLink's PowerDirector (older version), and Magix MovieEdit Pro (also older), as each handles some specific file types and specs., better than either my PrE, or PrPro. Along wil those, basically used as converters, I have a great conversion program, DigitalMedia Converter 2.7, and will often take "odd" material into it, to be batch converted to something that PrE, or PrPro loves, like DV-AVI Type II's, for SD material.
The world of Video is very involved, and one needs to grasp the concept of CODEC's very early on, as they are the building blocks of Video files (and Audio files too). Each quarter, there are probably a dozen new ones, or variations on older ones, utilized by camera mfgrs. For a bit of background on CODEC's, see this ARTICLE. [Could be linked from the earlier article?]
Good luck, and let us know what is inside that AVI wrapper. Someone will know how best to handle it.

Decode error when outputting to file to later burn to DVD

I have an MPG file created in Ulead Media Studio Pro (which I can no longer run as it does not run on Windows 7 which my new PC uses). I created a new project in PE9, added the mpg file, dragged it to the timeline and told Premiere to change the project settings to match. It is now PAL DVD Upper field first. There is no red line on the timeline above the clip. When I try to output it to a file for later burning to DVD I get a decode error around a particular frame. When I go near that frame in the monitor window and step forward one frame at a time it moves smoothly until it gets to the frame in question when there is a noticeable delay from pressing the arrow button and the time counter updating to the next frame number. The MPG plays fine in Windows Media Player and VLC player - it shows a cross fade transition at the spot that fails in PE9. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I don't have independent DVD authoring software as otherwise that would be an option.

Depending on the source footage, I have found that some other programs do a better job of handling them. For that reason, I have CyberLink PowerDirector, and Magix MovieEdit Pro on my computer. Actually, since I use PrPro for most of my work, that is also why I bought and installed PrE - it handles footage well, that PrPro chokes on.
Personally, I am less comfortable actually editing in PowerDirector, or MovieEdit Pro (older versions of both), but PrE is closer to PrPro, so I rely on it as my "first step," and the other two NLE's more as just converters.
Still, if another tool in your video-editing toolbox, works better, there is zero shame in using it. Sometimes an adjustable spanner is all a mechanic needs, but when they require a universal socket with a "wobbly" extension on their Snap-On rachet, then the adjustable spanner goes back into the toolbox.
Most of all, I am glad that you are able to produce the desired results. That is what it's all about.
Thanks for reporting your workflow and your success. Good luck.

Can PrE do multiple specific frame searches?

I'm trying to find a not too expensive editing program, possibly PRE 10, that will allow me to do a search in a video for specific frame locations based on criteria within a frame. I've done exhaustive searching on web to no avail so far. I've been using Corel Videostudio which doesn't have anything like that.
Specifically I want to search the infamous Norwegian Bergne/Oslo train ride video, all seven hours of it. The video consists of the uninterrupted train ride, which by itself is great to watch except for one thing.
Every time the train passes into a tunnel, or reaches a town, a blue sign drops down from the top of the screen with the location's name. That's not so bad, but then someone has inserted a very loud gong sound at that moment, totally destroying the relaxing ambience of the video.
What I want to do is find each occurrance of this event, which is about four seconds long, and replace the audio gong sound with either silence or filler. The bad part is that there are easily a hundred plus of these, probably over 200.
So I'm hoping that some program, somewhere, would be able to either find all of them at once, or quickly 'step' forward to each so I don't have to slowly play the video, stop, insert, hoping I don't miss one, etc. It would search keying on either something in the video frame like the big blue sign, or the sound, it really doesn't matter what.
I've broken the video up into 30 minute segments to make editing easier and faster.
Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I know of no NLE program, that offers the ability to match, or search frames. While I have not used them all, and some many versions ago, I do not recall such a function in AVID (Liquid, or Composer), PrPro, Pinnacle Studio, Magix MovieEdit Pro or CyberLink's PowerDirctor.
There might be some forensic programs, that can do this, but not sure that anyone, outside of law enforcement would have access to it.
Maybe others know of such software.
In PrE, about the best that I can think of is to use the Jog Shuttle in the Program Monitor, and visually watch, as the footage goes by very quickly, stopping when one reaches a tunnel, or town.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere elements 10 question

I recently purchased a Panasonic HDC-TM90 camcorder and want to buy an easy to use video editing program and I am interested in Premiere elements.
Can this program edit HD recordings? My computer is a dual core machine and I was not sure if there were any issues and if I should not record in HD if I wanted to edit it.
Thanks,
Steven

If the camera will ONLY shoot in one of the "p"(Progressive) formats, then I would look to Adobe PrPro CS 5.5, or perhaps another NLE program. There are some other good ones out there, but I cannot tell you which ones might be better, beyond the much more expensive PrPro. Cyberlink's PowerDirector, Magix MovieEdit Pro, and several versions of Sony's Vegas, all get good general reviews, but I don't know how any handles progressive Video files. Maybe others will have very specific recommendations for you.
Good luck, and enjoy the new camera,
Hunt

60fps Footage rendered to 30fps for slow motion

I know that to render footage shot at 60fps down to 30fps so it's slow motion you can use Cinema Tools in Final Cut Pro. I've done so with a buddy's system. I, though, have FCE HD and am wondering if there is a solution for me that doesn't require dragging footage over to my friends studio. Since FCE doesn't include Cinema Tools, is there another piece of software I might use?

aha! I now see what you are talking about. If your camera shoots for instance 720p60 - as does not GH2. So yes - MovieEdit does a good job of this - if you are willing to use the extra disk space for another copy of the movie file.
If you don't want to use extra disk space, save a reference movie of your file (will be a tiny file) and use this method on it:
http://mingletron.com/?p=222
an easier link to get Atom Inspector is here:
http://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/wo/5.1.17.2.1.3.3.1.0 .1.1.0.3.12.3.3.1
just change all the timescales of the ref movie that are not audio (ones that are not 48000 or 44100) to half their current value in all the mvhd and mdhd, then save and drag the ref movie into FCE. Sound will not work - it will be at the original speed and just end halfway through, but that's easy enough to fix - just unlink the sound, slow it down to 50%, chop off the excess and re-link.
To make a ref movie you need quicktime pro, or the free qtsync should also do it.

Weird top banner flickering

Hi,
Before purchasing a license, my company wanted me to have a try at Prem. El. Trail version.
When I import my video files (avi files @ 1280x720, 30fps / 16 bit / compressed with MS-CRAM (Microsoft Video 1 @ 100%)) somehow I get a flickering top banner. It's not the entire movie length but most of it. Sometimes it shows the bottom part of my movie (say 50 pix high) but mirrored verticaly.
I have no idea ... is this a problem with my video-driver ? Is this a problem with the trail version ? Is this a problem with the video compression I use when rendering the avi in 3D Via Composer ?
If not for this problem, the license would've been purchased by now I guess
Thnx for help !

Export from some programs will be limited by that program's designers.
Even if one has certain CODEC's properly installed, does not mean that programs can use them for more than pure playback. Though I have Xvid installed, I cannot get any of my NLE programs to Export to it. Now, most will work just fine with the commercial-cousin to Xvid, DivX. PrPro, PrE, PowerDirector and MovieEdit Pro can all Export to DivX, but crash when trying to use the open-source Xvid. Besides, you do NOT want to use Xvid as anything but a final streaming delivery only format. You are probably lucky that you could not Export with it, as you would loose a great deal of quality, and it would not edit well, if at all.
Now, lets see if we can come up with an intermediate CODEC that will work well for you. So very much depends on your 3D program and how well it interfaces with the system's Registry, regarding CODEC's. One intermediate CODEC that I use and like is Lagarith Lossless. It is very good, efficient, fairly quick, plays well with PrE, PrPro and AE, and best of all, it's free. I would download and install it, and X my fingers that the 3D program will find and use it. The format will be .AVI, but it will not be the pure DV-AVI, so PrE will need to use it to edit the footage. I've never had an issue in any of my Adobe editing programs with it. I use it as an intermediate "transfer" format, especially between my NLE's and AfterEffects. Do a reboot after you install Lagarith.
Unfortunately, I can make no promises that your 3D program will find it and can use it. At the worst, you will have added a very good, free CODEC, that can be used by PrE, but might not help in your workflow.
Also, what happens when you Export to the MS Video 1, and Import that? Maybe you already mentioned the issues, and I have forgotten. Just curious.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to Rotate a Movie Clip

I was taking a clip of Old Faithful and due to the height I turned my camera sideways, figuring I could rotate the video once I got it into iMovie.
Well, I can't figurer out how and when I enter "rotate" into iMovie help, it comes up with nothing useful.
I'm running a current update of iMovie 6 HD.
Anyone got any idea or some shareware that can rotate a movie clip?

Search this forum for "movie, rotate, plugin." This topic comes up a lot and there are some free plugins to deal with it. One thread to read is
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2561075&#2561075
Although, I gather, the free plugins don't work quite as well as QT Pro.
I was very happily surprised that the software which came with my Canon can do this. Canon's ImageBrowser has a utility called MovieEdit Task that can do simple editing, including rotating clips 90 degrees.

Render Work Area every time text or a transition is added?

Why do I have to Render the Work Area every time I add text or a transition In PRE 10? The video then starts playing from the beginning and I have to find where I was editing. It wastes too much time and takes forever to edit a video. I was told by Adobe phone support that Rendering after a transition is normal; I can't believe the program is that bad!

For just Text Titles, I am surprised that you need to Render, with each Title.
I often edit hour-long Projects, and usually never need to Render, to see good playback. For most, the only time that I do Render, is when I have animated something, and it must playback with ultimate quality.
Some NLE (Non Linear Editor) programs do "Background Rendering," but if you think editing in PrE is slow, you will likely not be able to do much of anything, when that Background Rendering is taking place. IIRC, Pinnacle Studio added that, many years ago, but most users clamored for a way to turn that OFF, as they had to wait, while every change they made was rendered.
In my case, I am editing on an older workstation, and on a fast, but old, laptop. Both are running XP-Pro, so only have 4GB of RAM. For me, and on either computer, the playback just does not require that I Render, except for those mentioned animations, and then I Render just that Title, Clip or Still Image, until I know that I have what I want.
Sorry that PrE is not for you. Some users have sung the praises of Sony Vegas Pro, and some CyberLink's PowerDirector, and Magix MovieEdit Pro. I have the latter two, but do not like to edit in either. I just use them for some very specialized file-types, when I need them.
Good luck,
Hunt

50 fps to 24 fps

Hi,
I’ve just shot a load of stuff on my new Canon 7D at 50fps, assuming (wrongly I now realise) that FCE would play it back at 24fps in nice slow motion! I’ve tried to found out how this is done but I’m not getting very far. Is there a way of doing it in FCExpress without spending a fortune on FCPro?
Thanks..

I tried this with some 60fps footage. It works.
You just open a movie, then save it with another name.
Voilà, it's 30fps. That's all it does.
Maybe Flynnyboy can try it with his 50fps footage,
and tell us if it conforms to 25fps.

Removing camera flash from video

Is there a way to remove camera flash from video clips within PE8? If not natively, is there a plugin that can do this?
Thanks,
Steve

Here are the best answers that I can offer:
1) why do you go from Premiere Pro to Premiere Elements?
Actually, about 90% of my work is in PrPro. The rest is in AfterEffects, PrE and other NLE programs. Basically, I use those, including PrE, when they do something better than PrPro. PrE will accept a broader range of formats/CODEC's, than will PrPro, so I use it to Import those odd Assets, and get them ready for PrPro. Same with CyberLink's PowerDirector, and Magix MovieEdit Pro.
2) How do you synch the audio and video (I'm guessing that you record off-camera). I synch it by eye and ear and it can be tedious. I don't have time code synchronized equipment
Most of my shooting is actually done with camera audio capture, though usually through either a shotgun, or wireless mics, attached to and recording to the camera's tape. When I do separate audio & video capture, I slate, so that I have the visual and audio sync. When I am faced with having to do manual sync, I will look for the visual and then the accompanying audio, and just nudge and listen. This ARTICLE will give you some of the mechanics of the process.
3) I don't know much about DD 5.1 SS and this is just from the point of curiosity at present, can it be a problem keeping long clips in sync?
I do not record to DD 5.1 SS, as that is a very expensive and technically challenging process. It takes six well-designed and well-placed mics, a multi-channel recorder and a mixing panel, run by a skilled tech. My DD 5.1 SS Audio is with regard to the music for my Projects. Some of it is recorded as 6 discrete channels and then mixed, while some is faux 5.1 and is "created" from 2-channel source material.
Much of the work from Hollywood is actually faux 5.1, in that the source material is seldom recorded in 5.1. Most is stereo and mono, and is blended from myriad sources. These can be SFX, dialog, ambient audio. Most of those are mono TO separate them out from any other audio sources. Narration is a good example. Few audio techs, would consider using a stereo mic for narration and would choose a very directional mono mic, so as to better reject other audio signals.
Now, I can take a mono SFX file and pan/fade (not in the terms of a "fade" Transition, but front to rear location) it across/around the sound stage. I can place that bumblebee anywhere that I want, when I want it with 5.1 SS Audio. I'd almost always work with mono sources, so that I have the pure signal with no clues as to the source location - I set those in mixing.
I must add that with regard to mixing of music, there are constraints on doing faux 5.1. If the material was not recorded on multiple tracks to begin with, the RIAA, and other organizations, greatly frowns on creating a 5.1 "master." That came after the failed quadrophonics experiments from the '70s/'80s. With Hollywood's music, the recording IS done multi-track in the studio/symphony hall, so it IS multi-track and just gets mixed down to 5.1 Audio. This will be about the only time that the audio is done multi-channel in recording, as few environments lend themselves to doing 5.1 during the initial recording. There are exceptions, like live concerts, but that is almost a genre unto itself.
Sync, in and of itself, is not difficult to maintain, but so much depends on the recording equipment. Many, using separate cameras and recorders, often find that there is sync drift, and need to establish the % of "cure." In the old cine days, we hooked our camera to the Nagra recorder, and chose which unit's crystal clock would establish sync. Then, we had a cable between the two. Nowadays with digital, it seems a bit more difficult. There are several recent threads in the PrPro forum about the sync drift between pro-level cameras and recorders. One user has found that altering his recorder's output by 104% fixes the OOS issues. Others need to test critically. The sync clocks in different equipment just does not match up perfectly, and there is usually no universal crystal clock that overrides the internal ones - like in the "good old days."
Hope that this helps. If I missed something, please let me know,

What HD formats are supported by Premiere Elements 10?

I'm planning to purchase a new HD camcorder, and I want to be sure that my camcorder and my video editing software work together well. I notice that most high-end consumer camcorders now record HD video in MPEG4-AVC /
H.264 format. It is noted to be AVCHD 2.0 compatible. The camcorders allow a choice of frame rates. The best resolution is obtained with 60 (or is it 30?) frames a second, progressive. It is referred to as 60p. My question is: Does Premiere Elements 10 support this format and frame rate? Will I be able to input my video material in this format, edit it, and create Blu-ray disks without significant loss of quality? Thanks.

Though I have a small handful of "consumer" NLE (Non Linear Editor) programs, the only one that I know with 100% certainty, that will perfectly handle 60p is Premiere Pro, but it is anything but "light."
It could be that newer versions of my CyberLink PowerDirector, Magix MovieEdit Pro, etc., will handle it well, but not my older versions. I do not have any of the Sony Vegas products, so you might post to a Vegas forum and ask. There are several versions of Vegas, and it could well be that one of them will be up to the task. Also, look at Pinnacle (AVID) Studio. I quit using their products, as of Studio 10, and think they are up to 14 now. Also, a newer, updated version of AVID Liquid (my older version did not), might handle it.
Others might have more current, and hence usable info on other applications.
Good luck,
Hunt

Time machine two backup progress panes

Hi
I have an early 2006 17" MBP (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) and recently whilst backing up using Time Machine I am seeing 2 different Time Machine Backup panes which occasionally display different backup amounts as though the backups were out of step (but not by much). I did not see 2 panes previously. The smaller pane only appeared recently. My question is why 2 panes? In my experience this is not normal. I have owned the MBP from new.
Regards Phil

Hi Lex
Here is my application list ... I think it is complete but have not checked it!
