My new video project

When I fire up E11 and select New Project from the welcome screen it defaults to My New Video Project with ready made settings.
How do I get it to default to the New Project Window so I can select the sequence settings.

Ann,
From that "welcome screen," I have not found a way to get what you (and I) want directly. However, I just Open a previous Project, then, when it Opens, go to File>New>Project, and set up my New Project from there.
Maybe there is some little tweak, that I have just not found yet.
Good luck,
Hunt

Can I break up a video project into smaller projects using prel 10?

I've created a large video project in prel 10 ( the 0s is win7). I want to break it up into smaller new video projects so I don't lose all my existing assembly and editing work. Can I do this and if so how? Thanks

Keep the original project and do a "save as" with a different name for each individual project and just delete what you don't want from each smaller project.

Can't Save iMovie 09 Video Project

I tried importing clips from my new Canon Vixia RF-H10 camcorder into iMovie 09. No problem. I created a new video project and dragged clips from events, trimmed clips, added titles and transitions. Smooth as silk. I tried publishing the video project to Media Browser. Done and done. But when I quit iMovie 09 and re-open my video project (which is listed in my "Movies" folder and appears in the Project list in iMovie), my edited clips, titles, and transitions aren't there! I need to begin all over again! What am I doing wrong? (I can't find any "Save" command).

Hi Richard,
There is no Save command in iMovie '09 - it's supposed to save automatically. However, there have been other reports on the forum about projects not being saved. This happened to me once, but had only a minor impact on my work, thankfully. There must be a particular set of circumstances that sometimes causes iMovie not to save.
Probably all I can offer is to delete (trash) iMovie's preference file. It's found in your user Home>Library>Preferences folder and is named "com.apple.iMovie8.plist". Close iMovie before doing this. When next opened, iMovie will create a new file with the default settings. You may need to change some settings to suit your own preference. Trashing the file will not damage your Projects or Events but may fix iMovie's odd behaviour.

I asked this question before but I can't find it now. Anyway, I'm trying to import a DVD video that was made on a MAC and use it on a new iMovie project.

I asked this question before but I can't find it now. Anyway, I'm trying to import a DVD video that was made on a MAC and use it on a new iMovie project.
How do I do the importing.

If the video is already on a DVD:
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

Can I re-use & edit old dvd project with new video/audio??

I video a dance company's Christmas performance each year and I plan to use the same theme and many of the titles and scenes are the same. So I'm hoping there is a way to bring all the work I did last year in iDVD forward and just make any updates to the scene titles as needed. All the video and audio will be new and I'll prepare it in iMovie with chapter markers as I did last year. If I can import the audio & video into iDVD without redoing all the text and buttons it would be great. Has anyone had experience with this?

Brian,
If you "archived" the iDVD project then the answer is yes it's pretty easy - I recommend you do that this year!
If you didn't archive the project, then you've got some work to do. There are some applications like DVDxDV, MPEG Streamclip+the Apple MPEG2 Playback Component, and ExportToQT (which come with MPEG2Works) that will convert the VOB MPEG 2 video files on your DVD back to DV files that iMovie or FCP/FCE can use again. But it is time consuming to convert back, and some of these apps are easier than others.
You might try DVDxDV to see what's involved. There is a trial version. Even so, you'd need to re-build the menus, etc...... and if you have all new video, I don't think it will help much.
So my bet is you'll be better off just starting from scratch this year.....but then archive the project to use next year!

Pre Lion iPhone videos show Thumbnail but can't play - new video generates Unsupported Video Format popup, no thumb but will play via quicktime

This is really frustrating -
Over the last year I have been uploading all of my photos and occasional iPhone video to Aperture 3 (latest version all patches in place).    Aperture would recognize the video, create a thumbnale and otherwise treat it nicely.
Now, since upgrading to Lion I find that though I can "see" the old videos in their folders or projects and the associated Thunbnale, I can't play them - I either get the spinning color wheel and then nothing or Aperture will crash and report an error relating to Quicktime (sorry don't have an error code at the moment).
If I try and export a video I can - but what I get also can't be played by Quicktime - just a black screen. When I hit Play - the scroll bar moves, but there is no sound or video.
From Final Cut Pro X, I can imoprt this exported video file and see that it appears complete - but FCPX uses it's own playback elements.
If I shoot a new video on my iPhone, I find that I can see the thumbnale in the import option of Aperture when looking at the phone, but once imported I get a Popup telling me that it is an "Unsupported Video Format" - "Do you want to open this video clip with QuickTIme Player?"   If I hit Open then the clip does play, but the thumbnale remains a black square with the warning Exclamation Point.
I have also had some issues with Lion Mail crashing when trying to play a video made on an iPhone and sent to me via email.   Seems more likley to be a Lion / Quicktime issue then an Aperture and Mail issue - but who knows.
I spent 2.5 hours of quality time with the Genius bar this morning. We reinstalled Lion and after that the suggestion was to trash and re-install Aperture, but that would require my disc and of coruse a trip home.   Mail doesn't seem to still have the issues with iPhone movies that it had - but Aperture is still not happy.
Did as instructed and dragged Aperture 3 to the trash, did the empty trash option, restarted and reinstalled.   Then did a software update to catch the new update for Aperture and it found that.   Interestingly when I did start it up after that it DID NOT ask me for my key - so clearly some elements were left over.
Now upon retstarting Aperture 3 once again I find that I can still see my old movies (their thumbnails show up) but I still can't play them.   The new test movie is there but still generates the popup regarding it being an Unsupported Video Format.
And it's not just my iPhone.   Video sent via email from another iPhone can play as an attachment, or when dragged and dropped to the desktop, but once imported into Aperture is once again proclaimed to be an Unsupported Video Format.
Hoping someone out there knows how to resolve this....

For some reason it just started to work now. Have no idea what didn't work before.

How do I move a video project from Encore to AIR via Flash Builder?

I've got a rather complex video project with lots of submenus (that works as a DVD - so it is "debugged") that I need to be able to export from Encore into an app to upload on the iTunes store and Android Market. So far, I've managed to export the project via Encore's Flash output and test the results using a web browser (it works). Everything got saved in a new folder structure with an index.html file pointing to the flashdvd.swf file pointing to the AuthoredContent.xml file that actually holds all the information on the file structure (there are 99 files in the Sources subfolder) and uses the default generated Theme.xml file.
What I need to do is to somehow import all this into Flash Builder as a project so it can become the source for the various "app" platforms. My questions are:
1. I've got Flash Builder 4.5 - do I need to upgrade to 4.7 in order to import the project or can this be done in 4.5?
2. Is there some intermediate step that I'm missing?
3. Will Flash Builder be able to repackage all these files into the file specs required by each target platform (I'm assuming it will - is that a valid assumption)?
And moving downstream a bit...
4. Since this is a video based project with over 200 megabytes of F4V content, how will the content arrive on the end user device? Will it have to be streamed or can it be downloaded? - this is a big issue should the app become popular and we be forced to maintain a streaming server somewhere. What about server sizing in such an event? For example: is there a way to estimate how much bandwidth is required per 1,000 instances?

Oh, no i think i clicked Solved but it's not at all solved and i don'tt see a way to reverse it and clicked unsolved.
I'v tried reading the Manuals but still don't see the solution.
I think I've misworded my question. Perhaps i shall have to start a new question.
What i want to know is very basic.
How do i take a video i see on either youTube or another side and put it either on my iPod (i guess via iTunes) or put it into a document or an email??
Do i copy some link? Copy what exactly? Do i click and drag something?
I think if i knew how to get a video to iTunes I could be able to sync it.
But i don't know the first thing, how to get a video onto iTunes, or email, or a document.
Thank you both.

When I try to make a new video, a window comes up that says,"The operation could not be completed," and then under it, it says,"No other information is available about the problem," what is happening and how do I fix it?

Hi
And without info - it's near to impossibly to help. Try my general troubleshooting note:
Troubleshooting note
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
Creating a new User-Account and log into this
This forces iMovie to create all pref. and cache files new and error free
Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
a Codec is used that doesn't work (even though iMovie and/or iDVD tries to / they fail in the end)
version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
USB-flash-memories - usually do not work
Net-work connected hard disks - usually do not work (most often not fast enough and WRONGLY FORMATTES as DOS etc)
iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie. When iMovie starts-up it first look trough this iPhoto library and if faulty it all Halt’s.
This You do by
First - close iPhoto
Secondly - on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
Thirdly - now select all five options presented
THEN - WAIT a long long time (>20 hours are not strange)
free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
Screen must be set to million-colors
Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)

I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

Hpprobook4540s w8.1 64 bit can't connect old video projectors after connectig a new video projector

I connected my laptop to a new video projector and it works fine. When I tried to reconect the laptop to other old video projectors, with which it worked fine before, it does not work anymore (when I plug the VGA cable in to the laptop the resolution of the laptop is decreased but the projector does not project anythink). I tried Fn+F4 combination but nothing happened. The old video projectors works fine with other laptopos. Any suggestions?

I'm so stupid... I should've thought about iptables... I'm reconfiguring them now, thank you very much!

Can I use a finalized project a second time by putting it into a new, different project?

Can I use a short, finalized video project a second time by inserting it into a new project?

You can do this, but you would have to import the finalized video into an Event first.
You can find the finalized video by going to your Project in the Finder in the Movies/iMovie Projects folder. Right click on the project and select Show Package Contents. Your finalized video will be in the Movies folder of the package. Right-click on the movie and select COPY.
Then right click on your desktop and Paste it to your desktop.
Finally, in iMovie, use FILE/IMPORT MOVIE.../ and navigate to the file on your desktop. After you import it, you can use it in iMOvie..

When I save a copy of CC project, the new copy project plays everything really slow

Hey guys,
Just saved a copy of my Adobe Premiere CC video project after hours of work. Then I reopened my project (both the original and copy) and when I played the video back on the timeline, everything is about 24 frames slower. The music is slower, the voiceover is slower, etc. And now, even when I copy the sequence and start a new project with it, it's still slower than the original. Sequence setttings are same as before. What. the. crap?

But I am open minded and hopefully the OP will post whatever information he wanted and I will be happy to be proven wrong by the insight that Jim will bring to solving the problem.
When we see people posting for the first time, it is pretty easy to assume that they didn't start by reading the FAQ pages. Pointing them to information about how to more successfully ask their question doesn't really require more than a one line response in most cases.

Does anyone know why- when I iport a one minute video project into Final Cut X from I Movie the resolution that looked alright in IMovie full screen becomes worst in final cut, full screen...but clear when it is in still position?

Does anyone know why- when I import a one minute video project into Final Cut X from I Movie the resolution that looked alright full screen in I Movie instantly becomes worst on full screen in Final Cut X...but clear again when I stop it to still position?

I'm new to video editing but I think I recall seeing an option in FCPX which lets you choose the video quality for the preview window. I think the window reduces the quality when playing back for performance reasons and so perhaps that is why it seems to have less quality when moved over to FCPX? Just a possibility, I'm sure one of the more experienced users can confirm or deny this theory.

Where can i hire 50 iPhones for a video project.

HI all, I was wondering if any one here would have a option or idea on where i could hire 50 iphones for a video project idea. I'm a creative director for a sports company and we have a idea using the video opition on the iphones and making a edit which will back up our new print and internet advertising campaign. I not sure contact how i would or could contact the right people at Apple that could help me. So thought i put it here.

Adobe stop developement of Adobe Flash Player for all mobile devices almost two years, ago.
Mobile Flash player doesn't exist for either Apple iDevices on iOS or Android device and their apps.
So, Apple is NOT going to be able to help you.
Puffin, SkyFire and Photon all charge a little for their web browsers because they are THE ONLY ONES, that provide any type of limited support for Adobe Flash Player.
There are no other apps or web browsers that will allow viewing of Adobe Flash Player based content.
So, good luck to you.

Is it possible to load saved audiofiles into a new multitrack project?

Hi
Is it possible to load pre-saved audiofiles (from previous version of a multitrack project) into a new multitrack project which includes the exact-same clips used for the pre-saved audiofiles?
I'm tempted to experiment but am afraid of adversely affecting my pre-saved audiofiles. Any tips would be really appreciated.
Warm regards
Peter

Hi Jim
Well, since as things stand I can't get 'conform' to work (but hopefully it will once I install Snow Leopard and the new FCS3) I'm trying to come up with a 'workaround' to my problem.
Say, I have my multitrack project which had been sent from Final Cut 6.
Nightmare of nightmares, I realise that I need to change some aspects of my picture edit.
Conform doesn't work for me in STP2. So, as a workaround, instead I ensure that all of my audiofiles are saved (your 'save as...and collect media' suggestion).
I make some changes to my picture edit to make the video shorter.
I now need to resend my changed-picture-edit FCP6 sequence to STP2 afresh as a new multitrack project.
Now in STP2 I will be looking at my new multitrack project, which matches my updated FCP6-changed sequence.
Ahhh, as I write this I think I'm figuring it out...
My idea is to open the previously saved 'longer' multitrack edit in addition to my current 'newer' multitrack project, and then manually copy over the matching-duration 'pre-saved' audiofiles (that already have effects applied such as reduce noise) into my new multitrack project.
In other words, I will replace the exact-same clips in the new multitrack project with the clips from the old multitrack project which have effects applied on them.
I think I may have answered my own question :o) Does this sound feasible do you think?
Hopefully this will only be a stopgap workaround until I do a fresh install of Snow Leopard and FCS3, when hopefully the Conform feature of STP will be error-free for me.

Create a new video file by editing & clipping old video?......Premiere CS4

How do I take an existing video file (.wav, .mpeg, etc...) & delete unwanted footage to create a new video file? I currently have some video footage of my family but the sound & video dont play synced togather in Premiere? Any suggestions......?

The first two concerns are the source footage and then the Project/Sequence Preset.
What are these? This answer will direct others on how they suggest that you proceed.
For OOS issues, having your source footage in the proper format will go a long way to solving such issues. For "fixing" OOS, this ARTICLE might be useful.
Good luck,
