Picture degradation from GoPro Hero2 when editing with iMovie

Hello!
New using iMovie11 and a new GoPro Hero2. MacBook Pro running Lion.
Excellent picture quality from the Hero2, SIGNIFICANT degradation of picture quality using iMovie to edit the footage. I have tried converting to .mov and then editing, as well as editing the MP4 files directly.
The Hero2 is shooting at 48fps, but iMovie11 automatically chooses 24fps and will not allow me to change it. I would assume this is the reason for the picture quality being so very poor?
Help on what I am doing wrong would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

You can really only view full quality...and judge that quality...on an external broadcast monitor, or good HDTV, connected to a video capture card in your system. Computer displays never show you what you actually have.

Version Set is not created when editing with Photoshop CS4?

Last week I was working in PSE7 and opening files into PS CS4 for editing. I open the files by clicking the Open with link and choose Photoshop. I edited several dozen photos and when I closed them from PS CS4 Version Sets were created in PSE7 like they should be. At some point that stopped happening. Now when I do as before and open the files into PS CS4, edit them, and then close them the Version Set is not being created in PSE7. I look in the folder containing the files and the file has a new modified date but it still has the same file name instead of being saved with the - edited name as before. Does anyone know why the version sets are no longer being created when editing with PS CS4? I can edit the files with the PSE7 editor and the version sets are created as they should be. Thanks!

Okay so tha there is no misunderstanding here is exactly what I'm doing. From the PSE7 Organizer I select a photo (file name Tetons & Jenny Lake 026.jpg) and click the Fix tab. I then click More Options and select Photoshop. The photo opens in into PS CS4. I make my edits click the x on the tab to close the image and I'm asked "Save changes to the Adobe Photoshop document "Tetons & Jenny Lake 026_edited-1.jpg" before closing?" I click Yes then click OK to save the image at maximum quality. I go back to the PSE 7 Organizer and there is no version set. I check the folder the original image was in and see the original file Tetons & Jenny Lake 026.jpg with a new modified date and time. I can even choose Save As from PS CS4 and it asks me if I want to overwrite Tetons & Jenny Lake 026_edited-1.jpg and I select Yes, but I get the exact same results. Thanks!

HT1386 How do we keep one phone contacts seperate from the other when syncing with itunes

How do you keep one phones contacts, calendar, etc from another phone when syncing with itunes?

Disable auto-syncing. Here’s how:
1. Before you plug the iPhone or iPod into the computer, go to iTunes.
2. On a Mac, go to the iTunes menu -> Preferences -> Devices.
On a PC, go to Edit -> Settings -> Devices
3. In the pop up window, look for the icon or tab that says Devices. Choose it.
4. Just below the box, you’ll see a checkbox reading "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically."
5. Check it and click OK at the bottom of the window.
Now when you plug the phone in it won't automatically star syncing.

What should your sequence settings be when editing with H264 in CC?

I keep getting a yellow bar when editing with H264 no matter what I make my settings as. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi jdib,
That's pretty normal for DSLR footage. Check out this article: http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2011/02/red-yellow-and-green-render-bars.html

I an trying to do video editing with iMovie 11 9.0.8, i have no sound. OS X Lion 10.7.5 is my operating system any suggestions Please.

I am trying to do video editing with iMovie 11 9.0.8 . I am running OS X Lion 10.7.5 I have no sound,any suggestions please.

This seems to have fixed the issue: on your desktop, hold down the [OPT] key and click on "Go" in the menu bar; holding down the [OPT] click on Library, find Preferences, and then delete all the files that start with "com.apple.itunes.XXXX.plist" where the "XXX" is whatever other things may exist - as long as they end in "plist". From my experience, preference files are rebuilt by the system after the next restart, so you have very little worry of losing any important data; the worst that could happen )and NOT in this instance, but for other plist files) is that you may have to reset the application "preferences" again when you next start it up, to act or appear in a "preferred" customized way for you.
Once you delete the .plist files, empty the Trash, and either log out or restart the computer. Once you're back up and operational, start iTunes and your iDevices should reappear in the sidebar (if that's open) and/or at the top of the screen (if that view is enabled).
Hope that helps. It definitely fixed my problem!

Can videos not recorded on the new ipad be edited with imovie?

can videos not recorded on the new ipad be edited with imovie?

Hi
Please rephrase Your Question - I'm not clever enough to get it
There are lot's of Cameras that record in lot's of different ways that can be edited in iMovie.
No iMovie can not use all Video-Codec's in the World - they are zillions and many needs to be converted to something iMovie can open and work with.
• Still digital Cameras as Nikons - Import into iPhoto and then in iMovie Event's window import from iPhoto-videos title
• miniDV tape Cameras - connects only via FireWire - then just Import from Camera into Event's
• SD-Card or Hard Disk Cameras Connects most ofthen via USB and Import from "File or other"
• from Internet - (out of my range - Guessing) - most will need to be converted into something iMovie likes - I would try
- StreamingDV .dv - or -
- AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec)
So as You see - I don't get it !
Yours Bengt W

Video Problem - Cannot "Edit with iMovie"

In Aperture 3, when I right-click a video and select "Edit with iMovie", iMovie starts up but my video file does not appear. iMovie just sits there.
I have tried switching the "Edit with" program under Preferences to Final Cut Express, and FCE is able to display and edit the video. Just not iMovie.
I am shooting with a Nikon D300s at 24 FPS, 1280x720, under AVI.
Does anyone else have this problem or know of a fix?

Like you the idea of using Aperture to manage my video appeals to me, in my case though it is not practical as I could not keep the amount of vision I shoot live on the system.
The workflow I would suggest for your video content would be.
Set up a location for the video to be stored, a fast drive is needed for video editing.
Set up Aperture so that it imports the video by reference and store it on the aforementioned drive.
Sort, review and rate your videos using aperture.
Create an album containing the vision you want to use in a program.
In your video editing application, click import, in the import dialogue box you should now be able to navigate to the media and movies area of the import dialogue box, select APerture and select the album you want to use for the edit.

When editing in iMovie the pointer doesn't jumps to the next line of clips

When editing in iMovie the pointer doesn't jumps to the next line of clips

Hi,
This should not happen.
Having said that it will happen to some extent of you Paste in a larger amount of text.
Does holding down the ALT key and hitting Enter/return a couple of times expand the window ?
This normally adds Line Breaks to the Text Field
If this does not work it will point to a windowing issue which is related to data held in com.apple.ichat.plist
Go to the Finder and it's Go Menu.
In here hold the ALT key so you can see the Home Library item and select that
Open Preferences.
Find the com.apple.iChat.plist and the associated .lockfile and drag both to the Trash.
Restart iChat.

Keyword problems when editing with CS6

In LR 4.2 and 4.3, when I edit with photoshop and use lightroom corrections, LR creates a new file. I edit it in CS6 and save and close. Back in LR, the file is there, the proper keywords are highlighted and there, but LR cannot find that file. In other words, LR does not recognize the photoshop keywords.
I am using Win 7 64. My catalog has less than 1,000 images. My master catalog has 25,000 with the same problem.
As I understand it, when you edit in Photoshop with LR corrections, LR creates a new file and PS takes in. PS sends info to LR when it is done. If I edit a photo selected with a keyword and I can only see that image, when I get back to LR the screen is grey and no image is found. I can find the photo in the folder.
My workaround is to delete the keyword and reenter. In a small database with few keywords, clunky. In the real world, very difficult.

I have been using lightroom since verison 1 (actually I owned the precursor, I forget the name).
Step by step
1. Select image. Add unique keyword. enter. Keyword is now in the keyword box and highlighted in recent keywords.
2. click on keyword to select all images with that keyword. Highlist the test image.
2. Right click the image.select "edit in ..." "Edit it in CS6..." Then "Edit a copy with lightroom adjustments" (edit a copy- same issue)
3. CS6 opens and the file selected is open. Convert to B&W (anything). Control -s to save. Control - w to close.
4. Goto lightrooom.. New edited image in the folder, but invisible to keyword. The number of images associated with that keyword gets larger by one.
In my system, the key step is step 2. If I add a keyword and edit from the folder everything is fine. If I have selected or filtered by keywords, the edited image does not index for that keyword.
Is this me? I guess my workaround now would be to edit images from the folder view/

LR 1.3.1 auto stacks photos when editing with Photoshop

Hi,
No matter what I do I can't stop Lightroom 1.3.1 from automatically importanting the TIFF I creat when I perform a "edit with Photoshp CS3" on any of my RAW files. This never used to be a problem the auto update updated my Lightroom to the latest release a couple months ago. This sounds like a regression bug to me. I searched the forum before I submitted this, but I don't see anybody else with this issue.
Mike

When I export to Photoshop, then save, I have a PSD file stacked with my raw file. But when I am in Library, filtering my collection by the Metadata Browser by Date (for one specific day), and then I select by star rating, I have these two separate images, that won't "stack" together. And all the stacking commands are greyed out. Only when I am viewing my thousands of images (un "filtered") do the stacking commands seem to work. I can't find anything about this in the help. I only want to see the #1 image from each stack!
Thanks.

Events from iCal changes when synced with phone :-((

Hi! I've just bought a bluetooth adapter so I can sync my phone with ical. I'm convinced this will bring me one step closer to a digital synchronized heaven, but (of course) I encountered a problem:
When I have added an event to my phone (Sony Ericsson T610) and syncs the calendar with my laptop (iBook G4 933 MHz), the event is "postponed" by two hours. For example: I have an appointment with - say - Pamela Anderson from 12:00 to 15:00 which I add to my phone. When syncing with iCal, the event has changed to 14:00-17:00.
When I add the event to my laptop first, and then syncs it with the phone - the time of the event is set two hours earlier . To take my great example again, the event would then appear to be from 10:00-13:00.
I've gone through all preferences etc. I can find in both iCal, iSync and on the phone. I've found no help online either... Does anyone have a clue? If so, please give me a hint on what to do, I would be immensely grateful!

I was convinced that my time zone was GMT, but when I checked it was GMT +2 hrs, which solved my problem! Thank you so much Julian for helping me solve this, I cant wait to start a synced life

Constant wait cursor when editing with LVOOP

I've searched around several times for any mention of this problem but have never found anything. It continues to drive me crazy so I figure I'd ask about it.
I have a decently sized project utilizing about 25 LVOOP classes in the hierarchy. Whenever I edit a VI within a class, every change I make causes a wait cursor for about a second or 2. This is not a long time, but when I'm in the middle of making something and trying to edit a VI rapidly, it gets extremely annoying to be blocked every couple seconds as I place, move, and wire objects.
I assume this has to do with compiling the VI, any callers, and doing something with the class, but is it common to block input while this takes place? Is there any remedy for this?
I'm developing on a 1 yr old Xeon system with a 10k rpm drive and 12GB of ram, it's definitely not an issue with my computer being slow.
Thanks

I am working on a large LVOOP project with 30 lvclasses. The only time I get the wait cursor is when I edit the type defs and select Apply Changes. I do not notice any delays when editing the VI's whether they are methods or plain old utilities.
In my hierarchy, I created inheritance by having lvlibs which also contain lvclasses. Most methods now access the superclass (well, that's what I call it.. the cluster that contains all classes).
Do you have access to another PC which has LV installed? If so, do you get the same behavior?

Best Quality import when editing with a DVD master?

I have been on a project, that is nearing online, that has a large amount of footage that I have had to import off of DVD. I have been using Streamclip's "Apple Motion Jpeg A" setting at 100% when I have converted files to QT. Anybody know the best way to get this material off DVD and into QT at the best quality? The footage is so bad, that it may not make a difference, but I thought I would try. Anybody use any treatment tricks when working with old, home movie type footage, to "spruce it up" and help it not stand out so much?
Thanks for your input.

The question would be; is the footage bad only because it is from heavily compressed DVD-Video? Or is it bad because it's old home movie footage? Or a combination of the two.
Since it is old home video footage, I'd suspect a fairly low quality camcorder was used. If that's the case, I'd convert the footage to the Apple DV/DVCPro codec using MPEG Streamclip. Or simply capture the footage through a DV device while playing the disc in a DVD player.
Once it's on your system, try using the 3-Way Color Corrector filter to enhance the contrast and control the chroma levels.

Record timelapse with Gopro Hero 4, editing using iMovie on iOS.

Hi,
i would like to see and edit my timelapse video made with Gopro Hero 4, how can I do it with iMovie on iOS - iPad Air.
Thanks

Use MpegStreamclip (free) to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC).
You must record in or convert the files to 30 fps mode as FCE only works in that frame rate.
