Organizing Videos in folders

Hi, is there any way to organize videos in folders?
So far I have one long list, mixed with movies, videos from various conferences, family videos an so on.
Thx
Dieter

Not really.
For conference videos, you could mark them as Podcasts. That's what I did: All videos from one conference are listed as episodes in a podcast. The Videos app then only shows one icon per podcast - next best thing to a folder.
Not sure if that would work for family videos, though.

    I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

    WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
    Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

    Hi Stavros0203,
    When restoring your entire system from a Time Machine backup, it is restored to the state it was when that backup was made. See this article for reference -

  • Organizing videos and movies in iTunes

    I have a lot of videos that I want to watch on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Is there a way to organize these videos into folders or anything like it in iTunes? I've tried naming the same album name for a bunch of related videos, nothing happened, my movies library on iTunes is still unorganized. Please help.

    What's the difference between playlists and playlists' folders??
    you can place various playlists into a playlist folder.
    And since my iPad haven't arrived yet, how will I see them on it? Will I see folders and then access them to choose which video I want to play? Please help.
    we don't have the iPad in Germany yet - go check out the iPad forum. i can tell you that on an iPod Touch you would find a separate entry for the playlist folder under playlists.

  • Organizing videos by year then event in folders?

    I organize my photos in Aperture in folders by year then event..2011, 2012, etc. How can I do this in Final Cut....do I create a new library for each year? After a few years of video at almost every event I just have a string of events on the left column....seems this is getting too voluminous to manage without a folder structure. Thanks for your help. Karl

    You could even make a Library for each month of each year.  Depends on how much media you're collecting.  Create a Library for May, then create a Smart Collection according to creation dates.
    Or, create a Library for a specific year, then Events for each month.  Then inside each Event, keyword each for specific event you shot.
    Figure out what works for you.  But don't make any single Event or Library too overwhelming.  And remember, you can hide and show Libraries, so you only see what you need to see.

  • Importing and organizing video clips

    I have a question about iMovie. I've made a few movies with it but am no pro. I am really anal about organizing my photos, music, videos, etc. and for that I love iPhoto. If i've just taken some pictures on my digital camera but don't quite have a use for them yet I can just name the roll and save them in iPhoto. With iMovie it's a different story. Whenever I hook my DV camcorder up I have been importing the video i took into iMovie, BUT it makes me save it into a project. What if I don't have a project in mind yet that I want to use this footage for but I just want to get it off my camera and store it on my computer or in iMovie for future use and easy access when I do decide to use that footage in a project or a movie I am creating? Any idea or suggestions?

    One way is to do it manually. When you import to iMovie it stores the clips in a folder inside the project called "Media" and the video files are usually Clip 01, Clip 02, etc. Ya not very descriptive names, but you could rename them all after importing to give them meaningful names. If you don't need the project other than to import them, then import, rename, then drag and drop those to your storage folder(s). Trash the project or use it again to import more.
    Then you can create a generic folder structure to help you organize. Something like this...
    Video Clip Archives
    . . . Vacations
    . . . . . . Aruba
    . . . . . . Disney
    . . . Family
    . . . . . . Kids
    . . . . . . Aunt Martha
    etc.
    Inside the folders put the clips in. Give them date names or something to help. Like 060798-01, 060798-02 which would be the first two clips from June 7th 1998 and if they were in the Aruba folder then you know they are from a vacation you took to Aruba in June of 1998.
    Nice thing about this system is you are not dependent on some application which may or may not be around years from now and in fact you are not even dependent on having a Mac. You could move this folder structure to another computer since the clips are generic DV formatted files, they can be read on other systems.

  • Comprehensive overview/question about organizing videos and movies

    I've made a few movies here and there in the original iMovie, have made a fair amount of home movies using FCE. I have 20 years worth of videos scattered around on HI-8 formatting and some videos I downloaded from a hand held digital cheapo-movie cam. I'm to the point of trying to figure out the big picture on importing, structuring, storing, and sharing these files between iMovie, FCEHD 3.5.1, mobileme, my iPhone, etc.
    I'm now wanting to start uploading movies to gallery.me.com. I started doing some of this before I got cancer last year. I'm basically restarting this whole process now that I'm beyond the rigors of chemotherapy and I'm trying to make a systematic approach to managing video files and already made movies. I have a lot of questions and would appreciate any insight you can offer in this discussion forum or if you recommend I copy this over to another discussion forum. I'm not sure to even begin hot to explain all this, so be patient as I try to start this process.
    #1 - I've tried using iMovie 8 in the past. I ended up, somehow, with clips here, there, and who knows where. The original iMovie seemed rather straight forward and seemed to work in conjunction with iPhoto rather seamlessly. As iMovie made that big change some time back, I quickly backed out of using that program to manage clips as I couldn't find where they were stored and more importantly, they seemed to start disappearing after time. Is iMove 08 a good resource to manage clips or is it a bit of a dead end for people who are using various programs such as FCE and so forth? Seems the transparency of how the newer iMovie manages files is a bit not-so-transparent to me anymore and I simply am not finding many of the files in iMovie 08 that I can easily spot in iPhoto. Not sure what has happened there, but I can find the files in iPhoto and browse them, but NOT in iMovie 08. Help?
    #2 - the only real reason I'm asking about iMovie at all is that I want to start uploading files from HI-8 tapes into my computer rather quickly and make simple basically unedited videos of what is on the Hi-8 tapes, then perhaps transport onto mobileme and/or make some DVD's. I did a few of those somehow before the cancer/chemo deal, but can't really recall the exact steps I took. Rough bout with cancer last year and my brain is a bit fried to be honest, not to mention all of this is a big hard to grasp deal for a RN who isn't trained in video stuff at this point in his life. Besides, I ended up having to reinstall my entire OS - long story. Bottom line, the few movies I do have on mobileme are in .m4v format. Not a big deal when using my mac at home, but notice that it causes iTunes to load onto my pc's at work or when visiting friends. Slow, clunky, and not sure how it wound up in that format. I'm thinking I did that somehow through iMovie or Quicktime 7 Pro. Before I go that route again, I need to ask about #3.
    #3 - I just exported my first high definition video from FCE. I did so because we got our first new TV in 22 years, nice HD flat screen. I'm wanting to start understanding options for exporting videos onto mobileme. I got Quicktime Pro 7 and used the H264 or some option like that (file>share). It was able to take 1.5 gig high def video I did over my cancer journey and put it seamlessly onto mobileme. But it is in the .m4v video option which seems to cause some people and computers problems because of the whole proprietary iTunes angle. Is there a way around this being forced to use iTunes and simply share to mobileme gallery using .mov? I tried the file>export option, seems to want to use movie folder and I'm guessing that is another iTunes deal.
    #4 - as I load files into my computer from HI-8 format and the newer cheap little HD dual SD card camera I got, those seem to either want to go into iMovie's folders (which I mentioned my confusion about above) or I can manually put them into a file structure that I'm slowly learning to build using FCE. I don't mind the FCE option and it seems logical. I still run into the problem of how to share web based content of the videos. Using iDVD is rather straightforward, but I'm wanting to use some kind of web centric approach to sharing my videos on the output and have one big file structure for organizing my files/videos on the input.
    I notice that iMovie has many exporting/sharing options in its menu. Are they really any different/better/worse than what I have with quicktime Pro 7? Should I even try to utilize iMovie at all or simply go with the capture option on FCE? I at least can find the files and organize them with FCE.
    I'm not sure how to further word this at the moment as I'm trying to better understand all this as I'm moving forward.
    Any suggestions you might have at this point would be most beneficial. I'm sure as I get further into this, I'll start clarifying my own questions and thoughts.
    Any resources you can point me to for newer (but not totally new) to video structure input/exporting on the mac?
    Thanks,
    Robert

    Robert,
    A lot of questions, perhaps to much to go into detail but,
    I can second the views of AppleMan
    Since iMovie 08 I finally am able to organize and categorize my clips in an easy way. Just recently I made a DvD for one of my grandchildren containing a selection of events from over the last to years. Really a joy (not only the kid ). This would have been a much larger job without that.
    When I like to do real "sophisticated" movie editing I use FCE and pick up the clips from the eventsfolder from iMovie.
    Of course if you are happy with FCE for organizing (I found that a bit hard), you always can use the File->export-> quicktime movie feature and use Quicktime for uploading to mobileme or use the File->export->Quicktime conversion function.
    Also within iMovie you can use the: share ->export with Quicktime, and use that to export your movie in the format you prefer.

  • IPad - Grouping Videos Into Folders

    I can import pictures into my iPad in groups or folders, but videos end up in a long play list.
    I use my iPad for business and do not want to search through 100 videos or so to find a specific one.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    BobT

    It is advertised that iOS4 allows grouping apps into folders:
    Folders
    Folders are the best way to keep your apps organized and easily accessible. To create a folder, you simply touch and hold an app until it wiggles, then drag it on top of another. iOS 4 automatically assigns a name to your folder based on the category of the apps inside it, or you can choose your own name. To access your apps, just tap the folder to bring up its contents, then tap the app to open it. Simple. Learn more about folders.
    It also says you can organize photos by:
    Organize photos by Places.
    iPhone 4 geotags your photos as you take them. So you can browse them based on where they were taken. To see all the photos you took in London, for example, tap the Places button, then tap the pin on London. You can even zoom in on the map to see places within London where you took pictures, such as Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, or other landmarks.
    Organize photos by Faces.
    iPhone works seamlessly with Faces in iPhoto for the Mac, so you can view your photos organized not only by event or place but also by who’s in them. Say you want to see pictures of your best friend. Tap her picture in Faces view to open an album containing photos of her.
    Nothing about photo folders.

  • Problem viewing video-content folders in Adobe Bridge

    Hi there.
    I have problem browsing folders inside Adobe Bridge CS6. When I get into a folder that contains files that are not just images, Adobe Bridge would not responding and would have to be closed. With the folders contains only images I have no freezing issue and Adobe Bridge run very fast and normal. I usually store images and videos inside the same folder on my image-video albums. I am running windows 8.1 on my laptop computer. I have selected several files with diverse formats inside a test folder each time to check if the program is able to represent the folder or not. I choose a mp4 file inside an image album and it did not response. I replaced mp4 with a ts video file, a wma (audio) file and a docx file (Microsoft word) to see if Bridge can show the folder or not.  Only in case of Microsoft word file the program worked but with the mouse indicator twinkling. Is there any solution to the problem? Should I use a newer version of PS to overcome this drawback?
    Thanks for your attention.

    Even the latest versions of Photoshop do not support all types of video files, only some.

  • Organizing Videos in iPod

    Hey, i just got an iPod Video 30gb.
    Well, I started organizing some concerts videos that I got in iTunes. I've set up everything, since artists to Track Number. But when I'm going to play those videos on iPod, they are listed by name, not by track number.
    How can I set iPod to list and play my videos in the track order i've set in Itunes?

  • Cover Flow - preview image for videos and folders

    Hello,
    Is there any way to change the still image used as a preview for a video file in Cover Flow in the Finder? I've found that browsing through folders full of video files, it mostly shows me black previews, or previews containing bits of text (opening credits).
    It would be useful if I could select a still frame to use as the preview, so that I can actually tell at a glance which video I'm looking at -- the filenames are not particularly useful in this regard. I have all the files tagged for use with spotlight so that I can search them easily, but would still like to be able to find the files visually as well.
    Similarly, I have folders full of images. Is it possible to replace the generic folder icon with one of the images contained in that folder, so that I can see which set of photos is in that folder?
    I haven't been able to find anything about this, so I'll assume for now it's not possible. Any ideas if this might be a future feature?
    Thanks,
    Johannes.

  • Organizing movies into folders

    I have discovered that by setting the "Show" field of Video info to a name then when synced to the ATV I get a folder containing all the movies with that name. Is there any way this organization can also be reflected back in iTunes itself ?

    If you mean on the iPhone-you can't.
    Folders only for applications-not data or files.
    If you mean sort them so they show as tv show title-season #-episode # in the iPod app, then you need to tag them in itunes and then sync them to the iphone.
    Right click on the file in itunes-select get info-fill in the info.
