Mp4 iMovie - is it possible without extra steps?

I can't import mp4 clips in to iMovie.  I can see them listed, but they are grayed out and I can't select them.  I also can't seem to get a definite answer as to whether or not iMovie will import mp4s without jumping through a bunch of hoops.  I'd love to know.  Thanks for your assistance.

Why Sometimes Can't Import MP4 to iMovie?
Reason One: iMovie only supports importing MP4 formats with MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC data, not all kinds of MP4 formats. Some MP4 files from like Sony, Hybrid camcorders and other devices cannot be accepted by iMovie.
Reason Two: iMovie contains all the essential codecs to read MP4 files. Any different codecs included in audio and subtitle will cause the issue. In the circumstances, we still cannot successfully import MP4 files to iMovie.
All in all, to smoothly import MP4 to iMovie, you'd better to convert these MP4 files to iMovie totally compatible MP4 or MOV (QuickTime) formats.

  • Unable to access certain files in Finder without extra steps.

    I am new to Mac and I have a very basic issue. I cannot access certain files in my library just by opening Finder and going to the location. To expose the files, I must go to my desktop, and click "Go" on the Finder bar at the top left. After the list has dropped down, I must press and hold the "Option" key to expose the "Library" option. If I then click the location, my complete library opens with the files I cannot find while executing in the other fashion. This makes things a pain when doing tasks such as posting content to the internet as all the files are not present. I must then take the long way to the file, drag it to a place as my desktop, and open it from there to upload to the internet. Sorry for the essay, wondering if there is anyway to get all the files in my library and its contents shown in Finder without taking "the long way."

  • After Importing Tasks and Memos | Let's Move them from Remember to Calendar? More Extra Steps

    After grabbing all your Tasks and Memos from BB OS 7.1, all the entries go unfiled into the Remember App. This is nice, but not nice. Anyone writing code to export these to the Calendar App or within Remember to 'move' them to the Calendar App? Does this make any sense to be left to redo these tasks and memos that invariably and potentially become Calendar worthy in terms of absolute reminders in advance of the due date?
    It would seem logical, that say, for example, that if your old memos become potential Tasks, both the tasks and memos in Remember are somewhat treated the same. So now to export them possibly into the Calendar app? What am I missing here? 
    What would be the work around here temporarily until code is written to take all of your imported tasks and memos from, say, OS 7.1, now inside the Remember App, and send them OPTIONALLY to the Calendar? Nothing I can see at the moment...
    Sometimes Memos turn into Tasks, which then could lead to Due Dates/Appointments/Do-To's in the Calendar App IF so chosen. But there isn't a strong blood relationship between Remember and Calendar. If there is, someone advise.
    Relationship: Remember<>Calendar (In other words, strengthening the gap between Remember and Calendar.
    When you've a SLEW of old Tasks and Memos coming from the previous OS's...wow...
    In my Old Bold 9930 I had over a thousand valid memos, and over 2,300 regular tasks, segmented. Now joyously and unfortunately in the Remember App, WHAT A "TASK" TO FILE THEM WITHOUT ANY EXPORT to the Calendar or for the new Calendar to receive them with open arms and bifurcate them accordingly. (Splitting the main into two parts yet having the bond between the apps as close as possible)...
    Sad that the old Tasks in BB OS 7.1 now imported into the Remember App has to be copied and pasted into the Calendar App for the Reminder and Re-occurrences, etc. Am I missing something? What a daunting task for power copy/paste people on a full qwerty to a touch keyboard.
    Fervently experimenting with QNX Developers on this one. Need a cognitive, logical thought structure here to make this alleged "smooth" transition from one baton to the next baton (OS 7.1 to BB 10 in this area). Dropping the baton won't win the race against the competition here...

    Well, what I've done is just the opposite as far as Calendar to Remember as the Calendar has the "Share" function base. With an extra step or two and of a 'cleaning house' from the import  from the old OS7.1, I've brought all my tasks and memos into the calendar and brought them back into their respective folder(s) inside of Remember.
    You see, because the Remember app is so vast or initially treated as vast, if one is fast enought to power copy/paste while cleaning house, take all your memos, tasks, etc into the Calendar and sync Remember with the Calendar manually via the due date/time function in Calendar, then you've a precusor reminder due date in Remember, which then leads to your day's events in Calendar.
    For me I've not doubled up on the amount of tasks and memos, but provided myself as a power BB user the ability to work around and strengthen the relationship between the two apps. If the due date is accurate on the Remember app (if chosen), you do get reminded that particular day, and on that particular day you can then revew the day's notes/memos from within the Calendar app, clean the task/memo house as you move along, and sit back until the code is written just for the reversal of what protocol I've taken here. Either way, you avoid third party apps, your passion for BlackBerry remains, and your productivity is elevated with BlackBerry 10.
    A lot of people don't realize how powerful QNX is as I am working with QNX developers now with feedback within the ebb & flow of the code. Give less than three years through BlackBerry Evangelism, Philanthropic aspirations and more, and BlackBerry will take back a strong segmented market space and enhance the quality of lives for those who are loyal and believe in BlackBerry as a lifestyle. All BlackBerry, all of the time.

  • Idoc to Webservice to Idoc scenario- is this possible without BPM?

    Hi guys
    We have a scenario where we need to send an IDoc to webservice and get the response back into another IDoc.
    Questions:
    1. Is this scenario possible without a BPM? or do we need to use BPM (Sync-Async bridge).
    2. Is there a Async to Sync bridge in BPM?
    3. How do I use this bridge in my scenario and customize it?
    Appreciate your quick response
    Regards
    Satya

    Hi Satya,
    >>1. Is this scenario possible without a BPM? or do we need to use BPM (Sync-Async bridge?
    You need BPM
    2. Is there a Async to Sync bridge in BPM?
    You dont need a "bridge", just take a synchronous send step
    3. How do I use this bridge in my scenario and customize it?
    Map the IDoc to request container and the response container to the second IDoc.
    Your need 4 container, receive step, transformation, send step (synchronous), transformation, send step (asyncronous)

  • Final Cut Express 4.0.1 How do I convert MP4 to a usable format without loosing quality

    Final Cut Express 4.0.1 How do I convert MP4 to a usable format without loosing quality

    If you shoot in one of the following modes you should be able to Log & Transfer directly into FCE:
    HD:  1920x1080/60i (FX or FH mode)
    HD:  1440x1080/60i (HQ or LP mode)
    SD:  720x480/60i
    1080/60p (PS mode) seems to be the default mode in your camcorder.  FCE only supports progressive video in 720p50 or 720p60.   That's probably why you have had to import via iMovie.
    It would be better to upgrade to Final Cut Pro X, the version currently supported.  FCE was discontinued over 18 months ago and is not supported on Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • Add extra step to approval workflow

    Hello,
    I have an approval workflow where it requires 2 people to approve the document, one after the other. All working nicely.
    Once both approvers have approved the document, I would like an extra step (task) added before the workflow initiator is emailed that the workflow has been approved.
    I would like a third person to be emailed to do something with the document (I can add the instruction in the email that is sent).
    After the third person completes the task, then the workflow initiator is notified the approval workflow has finished (as per usual).
    Is it possible to modify the approval workflow to add that extra step? And if it is, could you kindly advise how to do that? I would be very grateful.
    Thank you.

  • PDF files seem to have extra steps to open in Safari since upgrade

    Hello all.
    I am currently running OS X version 10.9.  When I used to visit a website with safari and open a PDF file, it just opened and I read it seamlessly.  Now when I click on a PDF file the file is taken to the 'Downloads' area and then Adobe Reader launches.  Everything works and the file is readable but it takes a few seconds to do this.  It does not if I visit the same site on an IOS device.  In that environment I click on the file and it immediately opens.  I can then chose if I want to open the file in iBooks or another app, but I can read it without doing anything if I chose to.
    Is there a way to make it so I can click on a PDF file and it will just open on my screen like it does on the iphone?  I hate to complain because it is still working but it is taking a few extra steps. 
    Thanks in advance and best wishes to al of you.

    Any help would be appreciated greatly!
    To have this working reliably you need to have 1) redundant and pretty fatty pipes between your sites (Primary and Disaster Recovery) and 2) your storage (Compellent in your case) being placed in third location. If you'll have both conditions met you'll
    have decent performance and would avoid brain split issue when both sites would be up and uplink between sites is down. Good links on geo clustering:

  • Is proxy to proxy is possible without Exchange Infrastructer (XI)

    Is proxy to proxy is possible without Exchange Infrastructer (XI)?
    my question is if both applications can generate xml, do they require xi to exchange messages or it can connect directly.
    how do they communicate? Is the correct?

    Proxy and interface generation can be used in two ways:
    - XI runtime and communication by Integration Server
    - Web Service Runtime
    Currently, Web Service Runtime can only be used for synchronous communication. You can define a web service and make a point to point connection without using the Integration Server.
    I'm pasting a help document on this:
    Point-to-Point Connections
    If two communicating ABAP proxies don't require any of the services that are provided by the Integration Server, you can use the logical port to switch to the Web service runtime and thereby accelerate the rate of message exchange. In addition to the logical port, you also require a virtual interface and a Web service, which has been released in transaction WSADMIN for the generated server proxy. To address the receiver at the logical port, create an HTTP destination to the released Web service and enter the destination in the logical port.
    The only other difference between the programming models is the protocols that are available. Because the XI Runtime supports Exactly Once In Order quality of service, there is an asynchronous protocol available that enables you to set the serialization context. You access the protocol the same way in both cases: Using the GET_PROTOCOL method of the proxy, you get a protocol instance that provides the required attributes and methods for the protocol. If the active runtime does not support the protocol, an exception is triggered.
    As illustrated above, you can switch from XI communication using ABAP proxies to communication using Web services. However, the reverse is not possible because message interfaces support only a subset of the range of WSDL commands. For example, the XI protocol expects a predefined structure for fault messages whereas a fault message can have any structure in WSDL.
    In addition to a point-to-point connection using the Web service runtime or a connection using the XI Runtime, there is also a third option. Since the Integration Server can process SOAP messages, you can also call a Web service by using the Integration Server. The Integration Server receives the SOAP message from the caller and forwards it to a receiver in accordance with the configuration in the Integration Directory (here, too, only synchronous calls are currently possible). Therefore, the receiver does not have to be a proxy. Because you can use the services of the Integration Server for this Web service call, it is known as an enhanced Web service. The following steps are required to define an enhanced Web service:
    1. To be able to generate a WSDL description for the caller, you require a message interface. This can be either an outbound or inbound message interface. The message interface is not necessarily required for further configuration because it describes only the signature for the caller.
    2. In the Integration Builder for configuration, call the menu Tools -> Define Web Service. You create a WSDL description by entering the following details in the wizard:
    • The address of the Integration Server or another Web server that is to receive the SOAP call
    • The message interface from the first step to publics the call signature via the WSDL document
    • Details about the sender of the SOAP message (party, service and outbound interface)
    • When the Integration Server receives the SOAP message, it requires these details to evaluate the configuration data. You enter the details about the sender in logical routing or interface mapping and in the colaboration agreements.
    3. The caller can use the generated WSDL description to generate a client proxy and then send the SOAP message to the Integration Server by using the Web service runtime. You configure the receiver for the SOAP message on the Integration Server.
    Hope this helps.

    Spotlight lists items and shows preview images.  BUT what about showing the path/location address of an item in my computer.
    Especially important if I've put the item in the wrong folder and what to locate it without multi-steps. iMac OS X 10.5 was more useful.
    Old OSX Spotlight function automatically displayed path/location within the machine:  e.g. desktop/folder/sub-folder/item.
    Can I make Spotlight show the path?

    Press option-command and the path is displayed at the bottom of the little preview window.  Press command-return and the enclosing folder opens. 

  • Lost Mode and Play Sound are "Pending."  However, iCloud indicates that it connected and backed up to iCloud at a date that is 1 week after it went missing.  How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)

    Hi,
    My wife lost her iPhone two weeks ago while on vacation in London (cell service inoperative in foreign country).  Using Find My iPhone app on my device, I activated Lost Mode and Play Sound.  However, both are listed as "Pending," since it those actions require the phone to connect to the internet (wifi only due to no cellular data coverage.).
    We recently returned home and purchased a new iPhone.
    However, when looking to restore the apps/settings from her old phone using a previous iCloud backup, iCloud indicates that the old phone connected to iCloud and backed up the original phone at a date that is 1 week after it went missing.  How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)?
    If the phone was activated and connected to the internet via a wifi signal, shouldn't it immedately lock, show up on the map, Play Sound, and send me an email that the phone has been found?
    I also read somewhere that if running iOS 7, the iCloud website interface enables you to track previous locations, for instance if the phone moves from wifi hotspot to hotspot.  Is that true?  If so, how do I do that?
    Thank you for your time, and have a great day!
    Sincerely,
    - Matt

    just giving this a wee bump as time is of the essence here and i need advice/ answers quick!

    I sync my iphone with my office computer, but what I really would like to do is syncing only the calendars (because my secretary uses them to set up new apppointments), but syncing all the rest on my home computer. Is it possible without losing apps or music?

    Although not recommended, yes.
    Disable automatic syncing when the iPhone is connected with iTunes on each computer.
    The only item you will have selected for syncing with iTunes on your computer at work will be Calendars, which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Nothing else will be selected under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your computer at work. You will get a warning message that your iPhone is associated with another iTunes library on a different computer which you can ignore when syncing calendars/calendar events only with iTunes on your computer at work.

  • Connect time capsule via ethernet to Mac for back-up only. Is it possible without internet connection ?

    Connect time capsule via ethernet to Mac for back-up only. Is it possible without internet connection ?

    Hi Bob,
    I'm not certain the post I sent was posted correctly, as I added it as a reply to a 3-year old thread. Since this is a recently-active thread, though not specific to the issue at hand, I thought I'd post again:
    Three years ago you helped me set up a roaming wireless network in my home. It's been rock-steady and I'm forever grateful to you for the time and guidance you gave me. I'd now like to swap out my AirPort Extreme base station for a time capsule. As I understand it, I should be able to unplug the base station and replace it with the TC without problem, so long as I use all the same settings on my TC... network name, security protocol, password, etc. Given the complexity of my network, I thought I should check with you first for any advice you might have. I don't want to set up a new network or make any changes to the existing one-- with the exception of using the TC in place of the AE. I'm already using Time Machine for backups. As a refresher, my current setup has the AE as base station and 3 expresses hard-wired with Ethernet connections elsewhere in my home. I have a 4th express set up wirelessly to use with my stereo system at the front of the house. All AXs are 'n's and are set up, as per your instructions, in Bridge mode to extend the existing network. I'm running the most updated version of Mavericks on my MBPro. Any suggestions you might have will be, as always, very much appreciated! Sincerely, Phyllis Sommers
