Need help combining clips

Is this the right software to download if I want to put together a short video? I have about 10 clips on my video camera, but have no experience video editing!
Thanks!
Dawn

No, Prelude isn't the right tool. Premiere is Adobe's video editing program, but be warned - it is a professional piece of software that isn't designed to be very approachable by someone who has no video editing experience. Kind of like jumping into a Ferrari on your first driving lesson...
If you are on a mac, try iMovie. On a PC...I don't know what the equivalent is....

Need help combining docs in Pages or Preview--glitches

I'm trying to combine about 20 short docs into one, so it will print as one document. I've tried the following, and run into these problems:
1) Copying thumbnails in Pages. This works most of the time--however, every now and then, it will only copy one page of a multiple-page document. It doesn't seem to matter what/where I click, only the first page of the doc will copy over. This seems to happen every fourth document or so.
2) In Preview: tried combining PDFs by dragging and dropping from the sidebar. However, that created something that, while looking like a 38 page single document, still considered each document as separate. When I went to print, it would only print the document that was in the window.
3) In Preview: tried doing the drag-and-drop by dragging directly on to the page in the sidebar, instead of below or above (as recommended for Snow Leopard in a MacWorld article). Didn't work. The green plus sign appeared, but after I dragged and dropped, the new pages would disappear.
It would be incredibly helpful if I could solve this problem. I've combined a number of how-to sheets into a packet, and not being able to combine them into a single document means a very long night of collating!
Thanks for any help.
BTW, I'm on an iMac, Snow Leopard (10.6.8), Preview 5.0.3 and Pages 4.1.

When copying the Thumbnails in Pages '09 to paste into the Thumbnails of a 2nd document, they both must have the same page dimensions and orientation.
When selecting make sure you have all the sections selected (surrounded by a yellow border). Hold down the shift key and select a range or individual selections if need be.
I have tested this and it works. Even between Word Processing and Layout templates.
In Preview I tested the merge and yes there appears to be a bug, even after saving, then printing.
It is not just the two parts treated as separate however, it seems to drop pages at random. Some from the dragged over version and some from the original.
Possibly it is retaining only pages with different numbers, because it did not renumber them. I will test it further later on when I have time.

Animation-need help: reverse clip order , different arrows in timeline

hey!
i am editing a puppetanimation and there are a few annoying things i really would like to know how to use better.
1.
i have 4000 pictures, sometimes i want to reverse the order of the pictures/clips. i checked making a own new file out of some pictures in a new sequence but i am scared that the quality is not the same. when i compare it with the normal photos then i can see a difference. so is there a easyer way? just chang quick the order. i can do it manual, but it is annoying.
and also i remember i did it some years before, but i do not remeber how.
2.
is there a other way just to zoom in the timeline? cause apple and normal plus dosn´t work.only if i push the "far away"(the other one) plus. with zooming out it works.
3.
very strange is that: when i copy a few pictures and i want to put them somewhere in the timeline, sometimes it showes me an arrow downwards and sometimes an arrow pointing to the right. i like the pointing to the right, cause then i do not delete the gap/break/"nothing" in the timeline. but also i need this arrow when i just move something and not only when i copy something.
oh i hope you understand....

i know i know.....it is not that annoying...just these few things. i want to go on with this programm...i know it , it works ... . there is not that much to do.just always checking the pictures and so on.
for me it is not about the question wich programm!
to make the question with the arrows more understandable: i want to put something big in a actually too smale gap. and i want that final cut notice this automaticly. it is not about animation. i would also want to know about this if i would have videomaterial and normal clips. and i know it is actually a simple thing.it is often about the shortcuts i do not know.
and also: i guess you noticed: my english is rubbish, so i did not get all of your explanations(do not tell me that i use the wrong forum, it is the only good one i can use)

Need Help with Clip/Sequence Settings

Okay so I have a video with three or four sequences and all the clips are from the same tape and camera. The only problem is that about 2 or 3 clips in one sequences have black bars on the top and bottom of them (letterboxed?), only when they are on that sequence. So, I could take these clips that are i letterboxed in sequence 2, put them in sequence 1, and they are normal, no longer letterboxed. Please help, I have no idea what to do, and have been trying to fix it for hours.

Okay I just fixed it by going to that clip in the browser and un-checking anamorphic, even though every other clip has it checked?
Maybe someone could clear this up?
Thanks

Powershell - Need help combining multiple commands (?) into one script

Scenario:
When a user is terminated from our company, I run these scripts separately:
1. I use the script below in Windows Powershell ISE to launch an entry box so I can enter in the username@domain and get a list of distribution groups the termed employee currently manage export to a CSV file on my desktop:
Add-PSSnapin quest.activeroles.admanagement
$USerID = Read-host "Enter in Username@domain. Example: [email protected]"
connect-QADService -service blah.dc1.cba.corp -UseGlobalCatalog
get-qadgroup -ManagedBy $UserID -Verbose | select Name,Type,DN | export-csv -
NoTypeInformation "$home\desktop\$UserID.csv" -Verbose -Force
2. I launch Powershell as an Administrator and run the following to activate Exchange Management in Powershell and to give me access to the entire forest of accounts:
Add-PSSnapin -name "Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010"
Set-AdServerSettings -ViewEntireForest $true
3. Next, I run this script to remove the former owner's write permissions from the list of distribution lists they managed in the above CSV file:
import-csv -Path "<PATH>" | Foreach-Object {Remove-ADPermission -Identity $_.Name -
User '<domain\username>' -AccessRights WriteProperty -Properties “Member” -
Confirm:$false}
4. I run this script to show the new owner of the DLs, allow DL management via Webmail and add info in the Notes section on the DLs:
import-csv -Path "<PATH>" | Foreach-Object {set-Group -Identity $_.Name -ManagedBy
"<domain\username>" –Notes “<Enter Here>”}
5. I run this script to allow management via Outlook and to automatically check the box in Active Directory "Manager can update membership list" under the Managed By tab within the Group's Properties:
import-csv -Path "<PATH>" | Foreach-Object {Add-ADPermission -Identity $_.Name -User
‘<domain\username’ -AccessRights WriteProperty -Properties “Member”}
Is there a way I can combine this into one Powershell script or two, at the most instead of having to copy and paste 6 different times and use two programs (Powershell and Powershell ISE)?

Rhys, again, thanks to your script, I was able to add even more to it to run nicely in PowerShell ISE (running as an Administrator):
The following happens in the script below in this order:
1. The script allows searching across multiple e-mail domains that we manage in Exchange
2. It prompts for entry of the old owner's ID, the new owner's ID and notes that I want to add to the DLs.
3. It exports a copy of lists owned by the old owner to a CSV file on my desktop.
4. Powershell pauses and allows me to modify the old owner's.CSV file so I can remove any lists that should not be transferred, save the changes to the CSV file and click continue in Powershell ISE. If all lists should be transferred to the new owner, I
would simply not edit the CSV export and click OK in Powershell ISE.
5. Powershell ISE updates the DLs from the CSV export using the information I entered in the entry boxes.
6. Powershell sleeps for about 1 minute after updating the DLs to allow Active Directory to register the changes. Then, Powershell ISE exports a copy of the lists transferred to the new owner to a <newownerID>.csv file on my desktop. This allows me
to compare the CSV files (which should have the same exact lists on them) and make sure all of the lists were successfully transferred.
7. If the lists are not the same because Active Directory didn't update in time while the file csv export was running for the new owner, I can run the script again with the exception of using the newownerID for the entry boxes in Step 2 (Notes don't matter
as we won't execute any additional steps after capturing the updated export). You would simply select Cancel during the pause window that comes after the export completes to prevent the script from continuing a second time and overwriting your previous entries.
8. You can now compare the updated newowner.csv to the oldowner.csv file on your desktop.
Add-PSSnapin -name "Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010"
Add-PSSnapin quest.activeroles.admanagement
Set-AdServerSettings -ViewEntireForest $true
connect-QADService -service xyz-fakeserver.corp -UseGlobalCatalog
Do {
$FormerOwner = Read-host "Enter in former DL owner as Username@domain."
$UserID = Read-host "Enter in new DL owner as Username@domain."
$Notes = Read-host "Enter in Notes for DL"
Try {
get-qadgroup -ManagedBy $FormerOwner -Verbose -ErrorAction Stop | select Name | export-csv -NoTypeInformation "$home\desktop\$FormerOwner.csv" -Verbose -Force
Read-Host 'Edit <FormerOwner>.CSV file on desktop to remove groups that should stay with current owner, save changes and press Enter or click OK to continue script. If all groups need to be transferred to new owner, do not modify CSV file and press Enter
or click OK to continue.'
import-csv -Path "$home\desktop\$FormerOwner.csv"
$UserList = import-csv "$home\desktop\$FormerOwner.csv"
$Userlist | Foreach-Object {
Remove-ADPermission -Identity $_.Name -User $FormerOwner -AccessRights WriteProperty -Properties “Member” -Confirm:$false
set-Group -Identity $_.Name -ManagedBy $UserID –Notes $Notes
Add-ADPermission -Identity $_.Name -User $UserID -AccessRights WriteProperty -Properties “Member”
Start-Sleep -s 60
get-qadgroup -ManagedBy $UserID -Verbose -ErrorAction Stop | select Name | export-csv -NoTypeInformation "$home\desktop\$UserID.csv" -Verbose -Force
$Flag = $True
} Catch {
Write-Host "Invalid username or user not found, please try again"
} While (!$Flag)

Need help combining multiple audiobook cds into single mpeg file for Ipod

I have been unable to find an application that will let me combine multiple MPEG audio files into a single MPEG file. My goal is to combine several CDs from an audiobook into a single file so that I can listen to it on my Ipod. Also, it would take up a lot less space as an ITunes listing. Mediajoiner was recommended on some other forums, but I could not find a version that worked with OS X and Java 1.5.
Any help is appreciated

I need help with clipping in my perspective window

Are there limits on how much of my scene is visible in my perspective window?
I can only see a portion of the objects in my perspective window. The rest appears to be getting clipped.
I've tried adjusting a lot of setting but can't figure it out. It's like there is some kind of near/far clipping plane going on.
Here's a link to see what I'm talking about.

Thanks!

Select the Camera and go the the Camera tab of the Inspector. Adjust the Near and Far Planes as desired.

Need help combining values in a drop down

I have a prompt which uses sql results to populate the values in a drop down...
sql results, select "table".column from "db" where "table".column in ('value1','value2','value3','value4',value5',etc)
Is it possible to have one of the values in the drop down be a combination of other values in the drop down? I would want to have something like value1, value2, value3, value2 and value3 combined. I would also like to choose a name for the combined values, which will show up in the drop down.

you can try multiselect in the drop down

Need help with clip form iphone

I´ve just imported a clip from my Iphone into my FCE project. The settings for my project is AIC 1920 X 1080i50 because my other clips fit those settings (shot with my real videocamera). Anyway, I want to include the Iphoneclip in that project, and I want it to fill the screen, so I don´t have black lines on each side of the Iphone clip. I´m not sure how I do it.
I´ve tried scaling it up, but then I lost so much of the action in the clip. Is there a way to just upscale the image to fit the screen (I don´t care much about the quality loss, I just like the clip and want to include it).
Thanks

You should sync first to make sure everything ( contacts,etc) are synced with your computer. Hold the home and power button down until the Apple appears. You shouldn't lose anything.

Need help combining a Layout and Graphics

Okay, I've been working on this for a long time now, and I'm getting close...but not quite.
I want to have a JApplet where I can use Graphics methods, as well as JButton, etc. However, if I set my applet to use a certain type of Layout (setLayout), it will only display the JButton and none of the graphics that I drew in paintComponent(). If I don't define a Layout at all, the JButton covers the entire applet. If I take out the JButton and the Layout, then I do see the Graphics. So, it's like the Graphics are being hidden underneath the Layout, and I don't know how to get them to show through.
Here's what I have...as you can see from the billion commented lines, I tried a lot of different things.

    contentPane.add(paint);
    // Add in the button:

Here are the instructions...
Update firmware with DOS CD
To boot from CD you have to hold down the option key (<alt>) during startup. A HDD icon and a CD should appear on the gray screen. The HDD has the volume name written below and the CD is named Windows. Select the CD and boot to DOS.
Hit <ESC> to skip the README.TXT
Use PG UP/DOWN keys on an external keyboard to scroll through the readme, using arrow keys may lock DOS.
SeaFlash offers some options you should explore before performing the update. If you just want to do it ASAP then hit <D>.
Hit <L> to list compatible drives and FW version. (Column New FW version should state SD24, hit <ESC> to go back to main menu.)
Hit to scan your drive(s). (Shows your model and FW, <ESC> for main menu)
Finally hit <D> to update your Momentus XT to SD24. (takes about 15s to update)
Power off your Mac.
-- Although it did made sense to what you are saying to just follow Seagate's instructions. But they only had instructions outside the realm of MS Windows is to burn it on a disk and run a cold boot to the disk drive. Otherwise if Seagate did provide detail instruction on how to install this then can you provide me a link?
Thanks again....

Just use the plain linear fit!
(If you are discussing something you found in the forum, you should always include a link so we can see what you area talking about. What you probably found was a workaround that forces an intercept of zero for a special scenario. If you want to use general linear fit anyway, your matrix simply also needs a constant term)
If you still have problems, show us your code and some data.
