Perfect use of Automator if I can get it to work with QT or FCP

Hello,
I've spent all day trying to wrap my head around Automator and I jumped right into it with the following task:
to take 150 video clips (uncompressed 8 bit QT files) and add an opening graphic, a closing graphic and to save as a new version. Doesn't that sound like the type of thing you'd take to Automator? Well, I found out that FCP is not supported by Automator, so there goes any solutions with that program.
For Quicktime, however, I did manage to get it to open the opening graphic, copy it to the clipboard, open the movie file, and paste it at the beginning. This was with the help of some handy scripts and workflows that other people have made and posted (THANKS if you're reading this).
There are two aspects to this method that I can't figure out to complete it.
1. How do I tell it to go to the END of the video clip before pasting the ending graphic on?
2. How to I get it to 'save as' or export from there (so as to preserve the orig. file)?
appreciate any help.

Thanks - I actually ran across this earlier, but it looked too daunting (and so did he price tag) for the rather simple thing I'm looking to do. So I figured that there may already be a work around of some sort available.
Thanks for the tip though

I got to that page but clicking on the Subscribe Free had no effect.
Nothing showed in the Podcasts nor the iTunes U.
In fact I also subscribed to Stanford's lectures and despite actually managing to DL them there is still no subscription in iTunes U, just the Intro to Computer Science belatedly.

I'd like to attach the screen grab of the out of order and randomly DLed selection of Harvard's course, but the forum won't let me attach it even though it is only 456k. Correction, close post and retry and now it lets me. NB how intermittent the DLs are and in no particular order.

I've got a SanDisk Cruzer with U3, I want to get it to work with Mozzila Fire, becuase of my bookmarks!

I've been using Windows on my Computor for a long time but i am starting to use Firefox more! The Question is that i have got a SanDisk Cruzer thumb drive with the U3, and i save all my passwords and bookmoarks on the drive. So the question is where can i get the software for the U3 Mozzila Firefox to work with the drive? I'm getting to have more bad issues with Windows. Would use Firefox more if i can get it to work with my thumbdrive! So can you get me in the right direction, if it is still available.

SanDisk began phasing out support for U3 Technology in late 2009

Hi ccharat,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you did a good job editing your Apple ID and primary email address, but you didn’t sign out of iCloud on your iOS device before hand. What you may need to do in this situation is go back to the Apple ID website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the email address that is signed in with iCloud (there is no need to verify the account after editing it back to the old account, just changing it back is enough). Once your Apple ID is back to the original account, delete the iCloud account from the iOS device and be sure to keep all info on the device when prompted. After you delete the iCloud account, go back to the website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the new address. Once it is back to the account you would like, you can sign into the iCloud on the iOS device with that new account and merge all of the data when prompted. Please use the following article as a reference.
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

My iphone 4s has the connect to itunes screen. I have tried to reset, recover, etc but I keep getting and error-51 message. Any ideas how I can get my phone working again? I am not worried about saving any info just having a phone to use!

I was in the middle of the iOS 8 update and tried to turn my phone off (yes, I realize this was dumb) But what happened was it tried to reset. Now, my iphone 4s has the connect to itunes screen. I have tried to reset, recover, etc but I keep getting and error -51 message. Any ideas how I can get my phone working again? I am not worried about saving any info just having a phone to use!

Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

When I use my Delete key to delete a song, I get a pop-up. This is OK, except the Keep File button is defaulted and I cannot tab or arrow to the "Move to Trash" button, and so i need to use my mouse. How can I do this only with keyboard?

When using iTunes on my iMac, I use my Delete key to delete a song and I get a pop-up. This is OK, except the Keep File button is defaulted and I cannot tab or arrow to the "Move to Trash" (or Cancel) button, and so I need to use my mouse. How can I do this only with keyboard?

Huh.. Interesting. I went back to check these proceedures and found there is a difference between using the return key or the space bar as the action command.
tabbing the blue ring moves the selection and then spacebar takes that action. The return key takes action of only the blue collored button.

How do I get FF to work with Mod Organizer (for mods used with ES: Skyrim)? I get an error message that it can't understand the address given.

I am an avid Elder Scrolls fan and am using the new STEP 2.2.9 setup. They've gone to Mod Organizer (MO) and I cannot seem to get my FF working with the download mod portion of things. I click the "earth" icon, which takes me immediately to the Nexus Mod files page but when I choose a file to download after clicking "Download with Manager" I get this error message:
The address wasn't understood
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (nxm) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.
You might need to install other software to open this address.
The address given, when clicking "Download with Manager" begins with nxm://Skyrim/mods/ The address is such due to trying to download with the manager.
Any help will be greatly appreciated! I've pulled my hair out for the last few hours trying to find a fix. I've disabled Adblock, all other popup blockers and enabled the main address in my exception rules. It's just not working. Ugh!
Thank you in advance!

In order to use ''nxm://'' links, Nexus Mod Manager must be installed and associated with the ''nxm'' protocol.

I need help with ISIGHT! I can't get it to work with MSN!

HI,
My issue is this... I have AIM/AOL and I am able to see myself on webcam.. however noone else can unless they HAVE a webcam... My first question is- "DO you have to have a WEBCAM on both ends for both people to see you?" Does the person I am chatting with HAVE to have a webcam to see me? If so WHY? They should atleast be able to see ME if I want them to... Also if they are using windows for PC platform... can they use a pc webcam and still connect with me through my isight although I am on a mac?
My second major ISSUE is.. WHY is the isight only compatible with AOL/AIM? I was told when I bought this it would be compatible with MSN Messenger for windows AND the MAC version... I have both and the isight does not show up on it... CAN ISIGHT be connected to msn messenger for MAC??? PLEASE help me!
I called APPLE tech support and they couldn't even help me! They told me to call Microsoft! Anyhow- one guy did say he was able to get his ISIGHT working with the MSN messenger for MAC platform.. do you have ANY idea how to do that?? The thing is ALL my freinds are on PC's and have MSN messenger..
ALSO- someone on mac rumors told me to look for a guy names RALPH! Said you know A LOT about mac and pc compatibility! PLEASE HELP
Bottom line - I want to use isight with msn so my msn pc friends can share webcam... I also have virtual pc software... is it easier to just get a pc webcam and do it through there? ( i tried that and it didn't work either) i need major TECH SUPPORT!
THANK YOU

Microsoft's Messenger for Mac (MSN) does not support webcams at all.
I have found the best alternative to MSN to be aMSN with macam for the webcam driver (it is a cheap usb webcam). Both are free open source projects. I guess if you use an iSight you will not need macam.
aMSN can be found here: http://amsn.sourceforge.net/
macam can be found here: http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/
The speed is substantially faster and it is far more stable than Mercury in my experience.
The only difficulty is the camera is often shown as being "in use by another application". To counter this I start macam, then plug in the camera (or unplug and plug back in). Then I start aMSN.

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

Does anyone know a video converter to convert Internet video recordings. Its in an IVR file, I can get it to work on real player on a widows but cant get it to work on my mac.

Does anyone know a video converter for a video file for internet video recordings. IVR file. I can get it to work on real player on my windows but can not open it on my mac.

Try downloading and using VLC. It is a very popular media player that plays just about every file format out there. That way you would not need to convert it.

Hi rockerbelsatx, could you clarify which platform you want to run Firefox on? You posted from an iPad, but there is no version of Firefox for iOS devices, only "Firefox Home." Also, as far as I know, there is no paid version of Firefox for any platform.
More information on Firefox offerings: http://www.mozilla.org/firefox
With a little more info, we probably can be more helpful.
