Movies vs Video clips

I've bought video clips from iTunes Mudisc Stores. Some have been downloaded as bonus tracks when I've bought some albums, some have been bought recently as stand-alone videoclips.
The issue is that the first kind are "tagged" as movies, the second kind as videoclips, while they all are videoclips.
I'd like to change the "movie" category of these so-tagged clips to videoclips, but the pull-down menu is greyed out in the option tag of the information window... (eventhough these clips downloaded as bonus tracks are unprotected mp4 movie files)
Does someone know how to edit these tags?
Thanks a lot

Not sure what you are asking?
To make as still frame from video?
Or to strobe the video (play at less fps)?
Both I believe can't be done in iMovie iOS

How do I move a video clip from one event folder to another?

Today I imported a bunch of old VHS based analog videos. I imported them all into one event library folder.
Now I want to move some of the clips into a new event folder so I can keep all the folders properly organized with what is in them.
When I highlight the selected video clip (I put the yellow border around the video I want to move) and I drop and drag the clip into the new folder imovie 11 asks if I want to move the selected clip. I answer yes, it seems to move the clip BUT it moves the WHOLE CLIP NOT just the part I selected.
I can't seem to make a cut in the video and separate it out.
How do I get the video I selected into the new event folder?

The short answer is that you can't. Purchases are tied to the AppleID used to buy them. AppleID's cannot be merged, and the content cannot be transferred.

Playing movie(or video clip) on ipod

I have some video clips that I want to put them into I pod and watch.
but ipod said those files cannot be played on Ipod. so I convert them..
problem is that the converted movie clips are muted.
I can watch but I cannot hear anything.

Hope you got things working - if not try these tips and tutorials:

Want to change resolution of movies and video clips so they load on ipod classic, what program to use?

I have downloaded some movies and movie videos but they will not load into my ipod classic. Think it is likely they are to big, Is there a good program to reduce the resolution size to fit an ipod. I have a small program that converts them to MPEG-4 but they still do not load. Must be their size.

Uh ... yes there are places you can get Movies/TV shows for your iPod other than iTunes, but some are illegal and therefore against the terms of service of these Forums.
I'd suggest doing a Google search or asking in another site's forum. Just to be safe. The only one I know I can tell you about safely is Audible.com, they are partners with Apple for the distribution of Audiobooks, but not Movies/TV shows

HT4589 How do I move video clip clip up or down after setting letterbox, i used to be able to do this until i upgraded to 10.0.6

I used to be able to manually move my video clip up and down in the event the browser using one of the settings. It was a vertical settings that i would use to pull a video clip down after i applied a letterbox to the clip, so I could see the top of the the video clip that got blocked out by the letterbox. Still looking no luck....I used to be able to do this just upgraded to FCPX 10.0.6 now i dont have the setting..

How do I move video clips to specific points on a music track in iMovie?

I am trying to make a lip synch video and need to move my video clips to specific points on a musci track so that the words are in time with people singing - does anyone know how to do this? At the moment, I only seem able to put the clips in one after the other...

Hi
IMovie is Video clip oriented - meaning that Audio can not be put in first and video/photos added later.
So to do this I use black photos that I fill up the Video with first
Then Add audio
Then add Video/photos by Cutaway function or exact replacement (in time).
This is so much easier in any version of FINALCUT where one can build Audio first then create the video ontop of this.

How do I move my downloaded video clips (from youtube etc) into my photo album so I can see them in the aurasma app?

I want to use videos downloaded from youtube in the AR app Aurasma, but, I don't know how to move the video clips into my photo album to do this.

1 - select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export (file menu ==> export) to a desktop folder - mount the USB drive and drag that folder to it. I usually use the export custom size option to limit teh photo to the maximum pixel dimension of the photo frame letting me have more photos on the USB drive
2 - to restore the iPhoto icon in the dock launch iPhoto from the Applications folder and right click on the icon in the Dock sleecting keep in Dock

When I move video clip, my audio clips (unlinked) split ??

I have separate video and audio clips on the timeline (they are not linked). When I try to move a video clip (or multiple clips at one time), before I let go of the mouse, the audio clip(s) below the video split, so that they are before and after the moved video clip. They are not linked together. How do I move a video clip without affecting anything else?
Thanks.

This might be helpful from some of my old notes. The ripple behavior can be overcome by the use of the CTRL
button. However it depends on whether you press CTRL before or after you start moving the clip. When moving clips
around in the timeline there are 4 basic types of movement Lift, Extract, Insert and Overlay:
The first two, Lift and Extract have to do with how the clip is moved OUT of it's current position. To see what I
mean, hover your mouse over a clip in the timeline, then press and release the CTRL key while watching the status
text string in the lower left of the application window, you'll see that holding CTRL before clicking and dragging
triggers the extract behavior (which tells the timeline that there is a gap being created that should be closed)
but clicking and dragging with no CTRL modifier allows the Lift behavior (which tells the TL to ignore the gap)
The second two, Insert and Overlay have to do with how the clip is placed IN to it's new position, that is,
whether it is Overlaid over exisitng footage without any ripple movement or Inserted within the existing footage,
causing any following media (including that on other tracks) to be rippled forward.
Since there is no way to lock down tracks in PE, you must always be mindful of what this default rippling behavior
is doing to overlapping media on other tracks.

Is there any way to get a video clip to snap to a beat marker?

I have tried everything and cannot get this to work. The video clip snaps ONLY to the timeline and ignores the beat marker. It doesn't make any difference if "Snap" is on or off.
When "Snap" is on and I attempt to move the video clip to snap to the beat marker, I see a red line indicating the edge of the beat marker, but there is no way to get the clip to snap to it.
This to me is a bug and I hope this can be fixed soon because there is no way to truly synchronize your video to the beats of your audio track. Those of you who think your video is "beat" synced to your audio, please look very closely at the precise location of your video in relation to your wave forms.
Another way of putting this whole thing is that there is no way to position the start or endpoint of any video or audio track in-between any frames. The start and endpoints will always coincide with a frame. It would be real nice to be able to nudge a track left or right so that it's start or endpoint lie in-between a frame.

I keep getting people telling me how it is possible to position the starting or end point of a clip in-between a frame. With all due respect I don't think these individuals really understand the relationship of the clip and the frame. At least that is my understanding.
So I assume that the following is true:
If you want to sync a video clip to an audio peak that lies in-between a frame, the only possible way that his can be done is to edit the audio so the audio peak falls precisely on a frame. This is because you can only place begin and start points of a clip directly on a frame and not in-between.
Does this sound correct?

Can I put video clips back on my iPhone so iMovie project will work???

I spent ages making a video on the iMovie app on my phone. I then did an import of my photos into iPhoto and said delete photos not realising it would delete all my video clips too so now when i open my project on my phone there is nothing there and it took ages to make. Have I lost it forever? Can I somehow move the video clips it needs back on to my phone so it'll work again??
I'm really annoyed Apple doesn't separate photos and videos out when asking if you want to keep the photos you just imported. The answer was no, I didn't want to keep the photos, but I did want to keep the video clips.
Help, have I now got to start my project all over again on my iMac, because the clips are no longer on my phone??
before anyone says that its better on the iMac than the app, I know, however when you have a newborn baby and are constantly feeding them, it is much easier to do things on the phone! I created a lovely montage of the first 6 months of his life and it seems I wasted a lot of time and will have to start all over again unless someone has a magic solution?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can upload some types of Excel spreadsheets to the cloud using the iWork feature on the iCloud.com website, by dragging and dropping from your computer desktop.
Once in the cloud, the document will be converted to a numbers document when opened on an iOS device, where you can make changes and save the document back to the cloud. When you come to require the document on your computer again, you will be able to download it from the iCloud.com website in one of three formats (numbers, Excel, PDF).

Moving video clip from track to track

I need to move a video clip from track to track precisely. How do I do that?
Also, is there a way to combine 2 tracks?

For the "combination" of two Tracks, when you Export, all Tracks will be "combined." The upper will overprint all below. Can you be a little more specific on exactly what you wish to accomplish with the "combining?"
Now, one can Nest Sequences into one, if that is what you need.
Good luck,

Rendering video clips.

I have a long video clip(10min) out of sync (video is a little behind audio).
I normally just move the video clip little to the right or left and
problem is solved in realtime after a few attempts.
Now I'm stuck in a render mode and don't know how I got there or to get out.
As I grab the video only on the timeline to try and match it up to the audio
I suddenly have to render (up to 20 minutes) to see if it worked.
What changed in my settings to cause this?
Going into this mode does happens from time to time
and am not sure how or how it changes back to a no render mode.
I hope this is clear.
Thanks.
Kevin

Could be a few different things... but first, does your video match the sequence settings? Other questions would be like... do you have more than a few video clips in the timeline already? Everything else the same as before?
I'd also try trashing your render cache for that project and rebuilding it.

Easy way to do smooth motion pan and zoom on a video clip?

Howdy..
As a recent convert from Vegas and Premiere Pro, I'm very happy with FCP6, with 1 issue: Easy moves on video clips.
It's very easy to setup a move with the motion filter, but the problem is that zooming with moving on the clip with 'ease-in' is problematic.
The scaling and motion seem to accelerate at different rates, making it very tough to achieve a smooth pan and zoom at the same time (either one by itself is easy).
I've tried using anchor points, but that's difficult when doing several moves on a clip.
Basically, is there ANY way (either native or via a plug-in) to set up simple pan+zooms on a video clip, with smoothness turned on without having the 'slingshot' effect that you get? I know I can mess around with the acceleration points, but this is tough to do with 100 of clips that need adjusting.
I'd appreciate any help you can offer..
Thanks...
Best,
Ben

Howdy...
Usually I set easy-in/out on the canvas window (for center) and then 'smooth' on the keyframes (for scale) in the motion window.
Can you actually set smoothing for center in the viewer? I think you can only set easy-in/out for center in the canvas. (could be wrong on this one).
I wish it worked like in Motion. Much easier and more intuitive, but one shouldn't have to jump to a different app just to do a simple pan and zoom...
Any other ideas?

Since upgrade to 10.4.0.80 itunes crashes whilst optimising video clips recorded on iPhone.

Hi,
I tend to move any video clips from camera roll to a pictures folder with the rest of the photo's to prevent a very large backup folder.
Following the latest update to Itunes (10.4.0.80) ITUNES now crashes when it tries to optimise the clips.
Is this a bug in the current release or is there a way around.
I had several movies in the folder which would sync fine following the latest clips being removed.
I removed these and now they can not be put back without Itunes crashing when it sync's to my Iphone and they are optimised again.
I would like to get these video clips back onto the phone.
Any help would be good.

Found an easy to do/use workaround to this buggy update from Apple.(which will do at least until they fix it)
Create a new folder in your pictures folder called Videos.
Move all of your video files into that folder.
Un-check include videos under Photos in Itunes for your phone.
In Itunes go to File > Add Folder To Library and select the newly created folder "Videos"
Check all of your videos under Films in Itunes for your phone (which will now have them all added)
Sync your phone and they will all be in your Ipod Videos section.
When it's fixed just swap them back to where they were originally, remove the folder and delete the movies.
Hope this help

How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad? Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility? I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move. Any ideas?

How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad? Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility? I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move. Any ideas? (The clips are in a .mov format, they have been imported / converted into this format in iMovie, original files were from a JVC camcorder in some other strange format.)

I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places. I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file. There must be something else that's missing. My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive. If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
My back-up drive is a mess. I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={ Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period. I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive. Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me). As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"
