Need help with an edit

I have an .avi that shows I can copy and paste selections ( not grayed out )
When I paste into a new window it does not work, paste is available from edit.
Divx doc shows an error when trying to repair ERR =-2009
any help would be appreciated

If I copy & paste into a new window, another window opens for second saying importing movie.
I have never seen this before when doing a copy paste.
It also does not work, it shows a black screen with a name of a cast member.
No sound or video when it plays.
any way to fix this and get it to work. I only want to use a small portion of the film.
It says movie format is divx 5.0
What about exporting to an editable form?
I'm just guessing as I'm a novice at this.

    I need help with Cool Edit 2000. Can someone help me?

    Message edited by moderator: maybe don't publicly post your serial?
    Quite! Never a good idea, even with really old software...

    The program software should install fine (others report using it successfully) but the difficulty has always been registering it. To do this you need to find a program (that often people discard, unfortunately) called ce2kreg.exe and run that. That's where you enter your registration details, and how you get rid of all the noises that CE2000 will put all over your audio otherwise (unless you severely restrict the facilities you can use).
    It used to be the case that if you'd lost the registration program but had the serial numbers, that Adobe would send you a copy of ce2kreg.exe, but somehow I doubt that they'd be willing to do this any more - it was a long time ago now, after all.

  • Video newbie needs help with multicam editing

    Hi all,
    My video editing experience is limited to a few iMovie projects, which you can view on YT (search for TheChampsTube).  For our final gig we did a 3 camera shoot, which was supposed to be produced by the videographer.  But he dropped the ball, and now I have the files - a motley assortment of m2t, mp4, xml and sfk - I'm converting with Handbrake.  My ancient iMac can't run FCP X so that's out. Also, I'm on a low budget, and will probably only need the software for this one project.  Can someone recommend an inexpensive way for me to get this footage assembled? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    You could try this technique.
    Or borrow a friend's Mac that supports FCP X and download the trial.
    Good luck.

  • Need help with Photo editing

    I just installed elements 11 and was trying to create a photo for my daughter for my daughter by combining two pictures but can not figure how to do it,  She has one picture with her niece holding a hand held mirror and another with the face of a fly and I need to insert the fly into the mirror and size it correctly. This seems like a simple task but I'm having trouble merging the two photo's

    Make sure that the layers palette is open in Editor, expert mode.
    This is a 2 step process:
    Open the picture with the fly. Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to make a selection of the fly. When the selection is complete, you will see "marching ants" surrounding the fly.
    Go to Edit menu>copy to place the fly on the clipboard.
    Now open the picture with the mirror. Go to Edit menu>paste. The fly will be on its own layer. Get the move tool out of the toolbox, position the fly, and resize with the corner handles, if necessary.

  • Need help with audio edit - how can I censor myself?

    Hello, all. I have a problem that I don't know how to solve.
    Let me say, first and foremost, how much I dislike iMovie '08. I miss '06 so much! It was so straightforward and easy to use. This new (well, now old) version is so blocky and simple that it's completely backwards; I straight-up don't know how to operate it. And I'm a film student! It's so embarrassing.
    Here's the problem. I'm working on editing a vlog for release tomorrow, and I need to "bleep" a bad word I say. I have the censor beep, and I have it anchored over the clip I want to censor, but I can't find a way to actually mute the audio from the video, so that only the bleep plays. At this point, I'm bleeping, but you can still hear the bad word. Completely ineffectual.
    I've tried everything in my extremely limited arsenal to solve this problem, but no dice. Help!

    Drag the mouse to select the video frames that you want to mute. A yellow border should be around them.
    Then, EDIT//SPLIT CLIP (or right-click/Split Clip).
    On this split clip, open the Audio Inspector and set the volume to zero.

  • Need help with tree edit distance and restricted top-down mapping algorithm

    *This topic was posted a while ago in "java programming" section but was suggested to try here
    Hi everyone,
    A couple of days ago I posted a topic on analyzing structure similarity between two web pages. After some researching, I know I need to work out some tree matching algorithms: tree edit distance algorithm(TED) and a improved version: restricted top-down mapping algorithm(RTDM). TED is about calculating the minimum operation cost(insert, delete, replace) to map one tree into another. RTDM further restricts the 3 operations to only the leaf nodes so as to improve time complexity.
    This is the general idea but I'm having difficulties to find resources to let me understand and implement the algorithms. I'm using ACM portal (Association for Computing Machinery) to access the technical papers but I find that they do not provide enough info, google gives mostly the same technical papers and some websites which illustrate the general idea of these algorithms.
    Hoping that you can give me some guidance on these 2 algorithms. Not looking for codes but I need more details on them. Thanks in advance.

    For scientific research I prefer Scirus: http://www.scirus.com/
    Just two pages I found on a quick search:
    http://arxiv.org/abs/cs/0604037
    http://www.cs.uic.edu/~yzhai/
    The latter might not be exactly what you asked for, but you might be interested in the listed publications. I have not taken a closer look.

  • Need help with photoshop editing

    I have a photoshop file with many layers. I haven't worked on it for awhile. I opened it today and the only tool that shows up is the hand tool. I can't get anything else to work. Every time I place my cursor over the image, it's the hand tool. Any thoughts?

    It sounds as if your space bar is sticking.
    Tap it a few times to loosen it up.
    (Maybe the keyboard needs a clean-out!)

  • Need help with audio editing

    I have an mp3 file which I converted from flv (YouTube) using ffmpeg.
    The quality of the flv was good but its volume was relatively low.
    Even if I play the mp3 file at maximum volume, it's not as loud as I would like.
    I've found that playing the mp3 file through Audacious using its graphic equalizer with some altered settings really helps immensely.
    Is there any way I can re-record the mp3 at these enhanced equalizer levels as I would like to include the (enhanced) track in a playlist of 40+ songs and I don't want to fiddle with the equalizer just for this one song when it plays?

    Easiest would probably be to use Audacity to modify it.

  • Need help with sound editing in FCE 4

    I want to remove certain background sounds from my HDV video.. (ex. a baby screams in the background, I want to remove it).
    Is there some way to separate different sounds within the video and delete that specific sound?
    Also, I want to keep certain voices within the video, but have everything else have just white noise for the sound.
    (I've read the parts of the manual, but haven't seen where I can completely edit and replace the audio in a recorded video)
    Is this something that can be done using Soundtrack Pro 1.5 in FCE 3.5 HD?

    Well.. I can see the waveforms that I basically want to remove and delete.
    If I can delete it or cut it out, can I tie in the 'loose ends' of the audio?
    (I don't want dead silence for 2-3 seconds of the film)
    Also, is there a way to 'line up' the audio to each frame? I want to use a sound to play everytime someone's mouth opens.

    }the only problem now is about how it should display the right info about the person whenever i click its name on the list.. something about file reading or something, i just cant figure it out.
    and also about how to make it scroll once it exceeds the list.. i cant make it work, maybe something about wrong declaration..
    thanks in advance..

    Like said before, do one thing at a time. At startup, something like:
    //put all the content in a list
    ArrayList<String> lines = new ArrayList<String>();
    while(String line=rand.readLine()!=null) {
        lines.add(line);
    }If you follow the good advice to create a class to encapsulate the entries, you could populate a list of such entries like this:
    static final int ENTRY_SIZE = 3;//you have 3 fields now, better to have a constant if that changes
    ArrayList<Entry> entries = new ArrayList<Entry>();
    for(int i=0; i<lines.size(); i+=ENTRY_SIZE) {
        Entry entry = new Entry(lines.get(i), lines.get(i+1), lines.get(i+2);
        entries.add(newEntry);
    }You could also do both of the above in one run, but I think you will understand better what's happening if you do one thing at a time.
    If you don't want to put the entries in an encapsulating class, you can still access this without looping:
    int listStartIdx = <desired_entry_index>*ENTRY_SIZE;
    String att1 = lines.get(listStartIdx).substring(1);
    String att2 = lines.get(listStartIdx+1).substring(1);
    String att3 = lines.get(listStartIdx+2).substring(1);

  • HOW DO YOU GUYS DEAL WITH APPLE.. SO CONFUSING...NEED HELP WITH SPECS FOR PURCHASE OF IMAC 21.5

    Hi guys, been reading your forums, blogposts, etc and am getting more confused.  I'm just a video girl trying to produce meaningful content through web videos for small to mid sized businesses and want to come over from the dark side. 
    Good news,, I dont need a super giant system,  I do simple editing for web videos, minimal graphics, no motion graphics, no animation etc. currently using CS4, will probably end up with 5.5.
    I want to get imac 21.5 or 27 if i have to..  So here's the question we all have,,, what do I really need besides an Apple fairy godmother to figure this crazy stuff out?????
    I want to be able to have firewire add on, but the rest is what I need help with.   So i've been looking at cs6 specs, even though im not there yet, eventually will be,, so just need to run cs4 now and build from there.  I also want to eventually move to final cut down the road so I want imac able to upgrade to final cut.
    WHAT DO I REALLY NEED MINIMALLY FOR NOW?  WHAT CAN I GET LATER IF i CHOOSE TO DO MORE AND NEED MORE POWER?
    cs6:
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.6.8, v10.7, or v10.8**
    4GB of RAM (8GB recommended)
    4GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
    Additional disk space required for preview files and other working files (10GB recommended)
    1280x900 display
    7200 RPM hard drive (multiple fast disk drives, preferably RAID 0 configured, recommended)
    OpenGL 2.0–capable system
    DVD-ROM drive compatible with dual-layer DVDs (SuperDrive for burning DVDs; Blu-ray burner for creating Blu-ray Disc media)
    QuickTime 7.6.6 software required for QuickTime features
    Optional: Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated performance
    Any responses would be great.  I know you guys are busy answering the really high end tech questions

    All the current iMac models (both 21.5" and 27" with OS X Mt. Lion 10.8) will run CS4, 5.5 and 6 just fine.  They will also run Final Cut Pro X just fine.  Ditto for most any application you may want to use.
    Below are some notes (specific to your apparent requirements) that may help you with your purchase decision:
    Notes on purchasing a 21.5" iMac
    All 21.5" iMacs come with 8GB RAM but you cannot add more later.  I strongly suggest getting the maximum RAM (16GB) when you order the iMac.
    The basic hard drive is a 1TB 5400rpm drive.  It will work fine with Adobe CS but you will probably want the added speed of the optional 1TB Fusion drive for better performance. Some people will recommend/argue for one of the optional SSD drives instead, but they are very expensive and still only come in relatively small capacities - I don't recommend the SSD drives.  Get the Fusion drive and spend any extra money on a good external hard drive for backup and/or extra storage instead of an SSD.
    Notes on purchasing a 27" iMac
    All 27" iMacs come with 8GB RAM and you can add more later, up to 32GB
    The basic hard drive is a 1TB 7200rpm drive - it will be fine with Adobe CS.  There are upgrade options to a 3TB 7200rpm drive or a 1TB or 3TB fusion drive - these will be fine also.  There are also SSD drive options, but I do not recommend them. (Same comments as above.)
    Notes on all the current iMacs
    iMacs no longer come with built-in CD/DVD drives.  If you need one, you will need to purchase the Apple Superdrive accessory drive ($79)
    All of the iMac graphic processors (GPU's) are compatible with Adobe CS 4, 5.5, 6
    It is very difficult to impossible to change or upgrade the hard drive later on, so don't buy low-end thinking you can add a better internal hard drive later.
    Be aware that Macs always come with the latest (most recent) version of OS X.  And OS X Mavericks (10.9) is due to be released soon (in the next month or two).  There is no guarantee that the older Adobe CS 4 or 5.5 versions will run on OS X Mavericks.  If you cannot upgrade to CS 6 in the near future, you may want to purchase now rather than after OS X Mavericks is released.
    For what it's worth, I'd recommend the 27" iMac if your budget can afford it.  You will appreciate the larger screen size and added capabilities over the years you will use the computer.

  • Need help with a Asus 27" monitor with webcam problem.

    Need help with a Asus 27" monitor I bought.  Model VK278Q.  The issue is that the webcam will not work properly.  Various applications can see the webcam, but I just get a black box.  From what I have read, the issue seems to be that there are no official drivers for the webcam. 
    I thought someone in this community might be able to offer some help before I return the monitor. I read somewhere that it may be possible to tweat the OS so that the iSight software will work for the monitor webcam.
    Thx

    Eureka! You now understand the situation.
    Even the old standard for Mac OS X drivers for non-compatible cams, macam, says that it has no driver for ASUS (20") monitor camera.
    The macam status shows:
    not working (no documentation)
    With no working driver for the 20" ASUS, it is not surprising that there is none for the 27" either.  There may be good reason that ASUS won't (or can't) offer either the technical documentation or a Mac driver for their monitor's inbuilt webcam.  However, they apparently do not publish that information. 
    If ASUS Technical Support cannot provide the driver you need for OS X, the ASUS will continue to be a ridonculous (sic) monitor whose webcam will not work with your OS X Mac.  The only other simple fix I can think of is to use the ASUS with a different PC that is compatible with this monitor and its inbuilt webcam.  What you do is certainly your choice.
