Need Video Clip Cutting Software! (NOT FCP)

I need a software that will use a XML file with in and out points in seconds and automatically cut it up into those segments. FCP doesn't seem to do it, if it does I can't figure out how.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Done

Need help with non-video clip transitions on the FCP timeline...

Hi all, I am struggling with this problem with the FCP timeline: I have a mix of things; .motn includes, .psd includes, etc. and I want to put a transition between them and a normal video clip, BUT, as u can guess, it does not work well. I guess because FCP can't see the frames inside the Motion file, it won't let u do a cross fade or whatever with any amount of time applied to it. So what to do?
I started to modify the motion files but realized this would not work, as I often use bits of one motion animation in various places starting and ending at different timecodes. So i need to be able to place a transition at the beg/end of motion clip on the fcp timeline. I started doing this:
1) place a slug above the track of a joining of motion/video clip
2) place the transitions on both ends of the slug.
Is this the way to go? I have dozens of these that I need to fix asap, so all advice is appreciated!

Hi Cooco,
there are several ways to find out whether it is a [*matter of handles*|http://www.larryjordan.biz/articles/lj_handles.html]
One is to select the clip>hit the S key (slip tool) clickandhold it . A brown line drawing a rectangle will appear and will continue beyond in and out point revealing the available clip's handles. If not handles are available then the brown line will stay within the clip on the timeline.
Visit the link I sent to you to more understand handle matters.

Why is a video clip from iphoto not compatible with imovie?

i have a video clip in iphoto and when i try to add it by dragging it into the videos in imovie, it says "the file will not be imported. it is not compatible with imovie". this video clip was taken with my friend's point and shoot type camera, then put on her computer, then put on a flash drive, then put on my computer. thank you so much for any help!

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
Some "..point and shoot.." cameras create movies in an iMovie-compatible ".mov" format, but others create .avi files, or they record in the MPEG-1 format which iMovie can't unscramble.
Not all point and shoot movies are compatible with iMovie, even if they play using Apple's QuickTime movie player which iPhoto relies on.
These non-compatible movies need to be converted to .mov format, or some other compatible format such as DV or AIC, before trying to import them into iMovie. If you have QuickTime Pro, you can just open the movie clips and then use 'Export' to save them in the .mov format.
..More details from me - or others - later; I'm dashing out right now for a bite to eat..

Video Screen Capture Software and FCP

I am shooting a video and need to incorporate some video screen capture software. There will be an audio overlay, so I do not need to record audio simultaneously while recording. I will be encoding with H.264.
What should I use?
Thank You!

iShowU and ScreenFlow are too very popular capture utilities.
I prefer the latter.

Video Clips Cutting out

Can somebody please help?
I have copied some video clips into itunes and onto my Ipod classic. When they are in Itues they play correctly. When I play them on the Ipod they cut out about 2/3rds of the way through so I keep missing the ending.
Any advice greatfully received.
Thanks

hi patrickmathews,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Can you try to:
1. Try to change HDMI port and set HDMI source on the TV accordingly
2. Adjust the resolution of the PC and on the TV to 1024x768 and check if you the video still goes black on the TV. If everything works ok, gradually adjust the resolution.
3. If the Vizio has a default refresh rate of 120Hz, try to lower it down to 60hz
4. As per this reference, try to use a different HDMI 1.4/1.4a cable or a component cable to see if it's a cable problem or the HDMI port on the TV.
Let me know your findings
Cheers

Need video clips to "fall into place" using scale and position, but Premiere isn't cooperating...

Hey guys, I'm working on a project for a client where I need 50 video clips to "fall" from full screen to a "puzzle" in the background, then I have some after effects to do, but my problem is that I can't seem to get a video to play "underneath" another video. Any suggestions?

Yep they are, as each clip needs to continue to play for the full 30 second spot, so I think you're right I'm going to have to move the project to Ae and do some precomps. Premiere started doing some weird stuff with my video clips (After pre-render it would invert the image and shift them all to black and white) which I couldn't find a fix for, so its back to the drawing board as far as prepping them goes.
I think Ann is right, too. The client supplied all the clips, (1280x720 MTS, 60fps) some of which are an hour long, but I only need 30 seconds or less of each clip so it could also be a conforming issue, as a lot of these files are HUGE. I was hoping my machine could handle it (ASUS G73JH, intel 8-Core i7, ATI HD5870, 12 Gigs RAM, 2TB external swap drive/storage, 1TB Internal HD, 512MB SSD Internal swap drive) just because I'm basically lazy and didn't want to have to pre-render each clip, but now it looks like I'm going to have to. I was hoping there was some new sneaky way of only importing select edits of video clips with CS6, but it looks like its manual edit/export for all 50 of 'em.
Good thing I was paid in advance

Why Does My Mp3 Audio Behind Video Clip Cut To Length Of Video Clip?

Ok. So I am trying to put together a music video using iMovie 11, and am having the hardest time getting started. I put my selected video clip up on the dashboard to get ready to cut as well as edit the footage. When i put the Mp3(Song) on the dashboard it automatically cuts to the length of the amount of video footage that is on the dashboard at that time. I have tried to lengthen the duration of the mp3 using the settings feature given on the audio clip, but it automatically jumps back to the duration of the amount of video clip. Ultimately I am trying to lengthen my duration, and have my mp3 the full length of the song to stay for the whole project, which gives me room and a real chance to work with my clips. I figure that it is something very conspicuous that I am missing. I'm sure it is just a minor issue, and would love if somebody could help assist me with this problem. Please, and thank you your time is much appreciated.

Hey Matt,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re trying to add an audio track to your iMovie project but you’re running into an issue adjusting the length of the track. If you haven't already, try making audio waveforms visible in the Project browser as shown in the article linked below.
iMovie '11: Set the beginning and end of a sound or music clip
Using audio waveforms:
With audio waveforms visible in the Project browser, you can modify aspects of all the sound elements in your project in the same window. This feature is especially useful if you have many changes to make to your project’s audio.
These instructions apply to modifying the startpoints and endpoints of audio you’ve added to your project, or audio you’ve detached from video. These instructions don’t apply to modifying the audio recorded with, and still attached to, your video, or to modifying background music you’ve added.
With your project open, click the Audio Waveform button below the Project browser.
Waveforms for each of the sound elements in your project appear in green, blue, or purple bands below the video clips. Blue waveforms represent the sound that was recorded with your video. Green waveforms represent sounds and music you’ve added to your project. Purple waveforms represent voiceovers or audio that was detached from a video clip. Names appear in the top-left corner of each green or purple waveform to make it easy to identify them.
Select the sound clip you want to trim by clicking its name at the top of its waveform; the clip becomes outlined in yellow.
Move your pointer over either end of the clip so that it turns into a resize pointer (if the clip has a jagged edge, it means the clip is split onto two lines), and then do one or both of the following:
To set where the sound clip starts playing, drag its left edge to the right or left.
To set where the sound clip stops playing, drag its right edge to the right or left.
Cheers.

Video Clips That Do Not Play Audio

I know it's something simple. But I can't seem to find the solution.
I am editing .avi video clips (talking heads) with audio which was recorded on the camera audio tracks. The video clips all play just fine with the accompanying audio in the Source Monitor as well as in the Project Panel player. But when I Insert the editied clip onto the Timeline, the video appears, while the audio does not. It's clear I have done something to my settings or the like, as this problem just appeared where previously it did not exist. Can someone direct me to the source of my problem and the fix for it. Thanks very much.
I have noticed that when selecting a clip in the Source Monitor and choosing the Display Mode with the pop-up menu that 'Audio Waveform' is now greyed out.
Tom

Bill,
Did you mean to say "does not look problematic." or, as you wrote, "does look problematic."?
To answer your question, the latter; miniDV tape capture originally took place using another PC and was stored on an external HD. I downloaded the original miniDV tape files from that HD the other user had captured to. I will say this. The original notes regarding the tape logs made by the person who digitized footage indicates that the original HDV digitized footage (.mpeg) was simply "digitized." While the .avi footage was converted using Cineform; his logs also show the audio conformed using cineform as well. Is it possible this is the source of the wonkiness I am experiencing with audio and perhaps the source of all of my trouble?
To that end, if I were willing to start the project over entirely, could I simply delete the .avi files from my PC, begin a new project and import the HDV (mpeg) footage into PP project panel editing in that format? Considering the .avi DV files have a window burned Time Code which would eventually require me to conform the original HDV footage (mpeg) to the .avi (rough/fine) edit, would I be better off working with the original HDV footage to start with?
Oh. And to answer your last question: Yes, I have had no troubles whatsoever with scratch V.O. audio files I have recorded myself. I have recorded them at 24-bit 48K sample rate .WAV (poly) files and simply performed a drag and drop to my desktop before copying them over to my data disk where all the other files for my project reside. Each and every V.O. file I create shows up as a Waveforem on the Timeline.
I greatly appreciate your guidance.

Trying to organise video clips but can not find them in iphoto under Movies but do appear idvd under movies.How can I get into iphoto movies section to edit and organise the video clips

In iphoto '08 in my Library section "Movies" doesn't show as a seperate folder so to find my video c;ips I have to go through 13,000 photos and yet in iDVD they do show up in the media area. How can I edit them and put them into specific files?

Tell me if a video has been recorded on its side! or even upside down, can you turn it round the proper way?
If you have Quicktime Pro you can rotate the video. There's a plugin for iMoive that can rotate clips. Go to MacUpdate.com and do a search for "rotate video" and you'll find several apps that can do the job and the plugin: MacUpdate: Search for '+rotate +video'

To save video clip(avi,mpeg, etc), do I need to buy something?

Hi.
I think I missed some information.
I have to save image file,also, I have to record video file as avi or mpeg. Then, I think I need something. Becasue I tried to save avi files with vi example(read and write avi). But it didn't work and it said that needs IMAQ WINDRAW.VI. So I posted this to here. I got that IMAQ WINDRAW.VI. is offered by IMAQ VISION software. So my question is should I buy this software or any software? I know image file saving is possible without IMAQ VISION.But, to record or save video clip, I'm not sure I should buy or not. Let me know this. For your references,My system is consist of IMAQ PCI-1407 and Pulnix camera,IMAQ 2.1, Labview 5.1 and NT as operating system.
Thank you

Let's look at the bigger picture. Why do you want to save video as an AVI or MPEG video? Are you going to do any analysis of the video in LabVIEW? Are you going to be loading the video and replaying it in LabVIEW? What is the goal for creating the video?
If all you are doing is recording video, I wouldn't necessarily use LabVIEW to do it. There are a number of packages that come with firewire boards or other hardware that can record video to these formats quite easily.
If you plan on analyzing the video, you will need the Vision toolkit to do this analysis (or a similar toolkit). I would not use these formats for storing video that will be analyzed, though, because the loss of information due to compression is significant.
The main reason I can see
for using this format is if you are recording video and synchronizing it with other data. I have done a couple of projects like this, but I used the Vision toolkit because I needed some other features it provides.
Without understanding your entire application, I can't provide much more advice.

Add video clips to library

Most camera shoot video clips now including some DSLRs. So add video clips to library and view video clips. I not talking about adding a new module but I would like to add those Point and shoot AVI files to the library and be able to view them.

After nearly two years of frustration both with LR itself and with the commentary posted by LR developers I am compelled to voice a certain question/complaint. Please understand that I have followed the requests and responses in this forum and elsewhere very closely since LR's inception (and earlier). My mind is very open to the various ways that different people work and the limitations of both current technology and development time. I understand that LR is a baby and will grow more and more useful over time as newer versions are produced.
I fail to clearly understand the purpose of LR.
After years of Adobe developing fragmented programs they decided to unify them within the Creative Suite. As newer versions of the CS have been developed, the way the individual programs interact has become more streamline. Unnecessary programs have been set aside and newer ones have been adapted to fit within the CS. Most recently the Macromedia product line, which first was loosely part of the CS family and now seems fully integrated with PS, Ai, ID and the others.
LR was purposely developed not to fit into the CS. Myself and others may not have fully understood the reasons for it but we accepted that LR promised to think outside the box - to bring a differnt way of thinking that was not subject to legacy workhabits. But with Jeff continually putting down the need for video and many other requested functions I doubt the legitimacy of the LR vision. To not allow photo & video to operate seamlessly together, even with limited functionality, completely lacks any foresight. Obviously video will be incorporated eventually, if for no other reason than we, the consumers, demand it. But to try and deny it is to deny the industry, the future.
My case in point is not RED or the Canon 5DM2, rather it is two of the programs within the newest iteration of Adobes own suite, CS4. The way InDesign files can be opened in Flash and manipulated there to allow for seamless publishing to the web. A few years ago most print publishers (and print software developers) may have balked at the suggestion that Quark or ID needed to "work well" with a web developer. But since all media (visual, motion, sound, database and web programming, animation, etc. see http://mediastorm.com/ for a taste of the future) are united it is hardly a stretch to ask Video and Still photography to live side by side - especially if they are created from the same device!
What's next, a phone that allows you to check your email, take photos & videos and surf the web?!
Why can't LR play nicely with everyone else? Maybe we need to start over.

Matte and Title extend beyond Video clip???

I have several clips in my timeline with associated mattes and titles in tracks above the video clips. I right-clicked on each the video clip and checked the duration of the clip under the speed window, and then copied-and-pasted this into the speed window for both the title and matte clips to make sure that the title and matte span the same duration as the video clip. The problem is the matte and the title are extending beyond the duration of the video clip.
When I right click on the Matte and Title, the pop-up window indicates that the duration is (00:03:22;20), though when I click on Speed under the pop-up it indicates the duration is 00:03:22:14
Speed is set to 59.27 and frame blending is checked.
Any ideas of what is going on here?

Summary of what I did:
- I used capture now to capture about 30-minutes of video
- I used the razor tool to cut out parts I do not need and to make the
video into a bunch of clips
- I added a black matte that I need to appear at the bottom of each clip
- I added Boris Text that I need to appear at the bottom of each clip
- I place the first matte and text in the timeline and copy it to the start of each clip, the text changes on each clip, so I double-click on the others and change it, the matte stays the same throughout the timeline
The problem:
- the matte and the text clips do not span the duration of each of the video clips and I am unable to physically drag them (extend them) to match the duration of the video
- this is why I took the duration value of the video and tried to input the same value of the duration into the matte and title clips (after right-clicking on them) to force these clips to span the duration of each video clip
- I did not change the value to 59.27 on any of the clips, it did this itself
Am I approaching this completely wrong?
Should I be copying-and-pasting the duration of the each video clip into some other location for each matte and text clip?
Thanks for your assistance!!!!

VF0415, Video capture cuts off at 4 seconds

Installation went fine, and most other features seem to work just fine, but every attempt to capture a video gets cutoff at 4 seconds.The video plays back, but is always only 4 seconds long.
The timer is set to 'off' and video clip duration is not checked in the Advanced settings.
I am running an HP Pavilion with 166Gb of free disk space, running Windows Vista (64bit), 4 Gb of RAM.
Any ideas?

Hi All,
could you please help me in an very tricky situation. I bought a Creative cam which has following model number:
Creative Live!Cam Video IM Ultra (VF0415)
In the original package there was a CD with drivers and also the software package "Creative Live! Central Premium"
My problem now is that I lost the installation CD and after a new installation of windows on my pc I lost also the software data.
I only have the generic driver files from windows and can use the webcam but I can't use any additional features like Avatar, muvee creator, setting of brightness and zoom, voice shift of the microphone,....
These are all great functions of the Live! Central Premium package.
On the creative hompage there are a lot of files available but there is no software for the VF0415 and also no Live! Central Premium package for download available.
I have already contacted the creative support but they didn't wat to help me. I tried it many times but they told me to buy a complete new package with software AND new cam!?!? They can/will not send me the software seperately.
So now I'm really frustrated and don't know what to do and how to use the superior functions of the VF0415 anytime again.
Therefore I wanted to ask you if you can send me the "Creative Live! Central Premium" software package or only the software files from the CD via email.
The software package is not that big so I think file transfer via email should be possible.
You are my last hope.
Many Thanks for your help!
Kind regards
