Raw video clip transfer

I would like to be able to capture video from my camera on to mac computer and then copy raw video onto disc for use in a different editing program
Reason i am working with camera that has a firewire and I cannot download to my PC but I woud like to usae the footage from this camera in a movie that I will be making on the PC
This brings up another question how do you achive raw video in case you ever wanted to go back and rearrange the videos i.e. take out all the birthday parties and make a birthday party video of several years
My Pc lets me just copy to disc I can't believe mac doesnot allow same
what am I missing
Is this possible
Thanks

There are two ways to do it (maybe more):
1. Edit your movie to the timeline and then choose File->Export. Select Quicktime from the top row and then Full Quality from the compress to pop-up menu.
or
2. After you capture all your footage, find the project file in the Finder, right-click it and choose Show Package Contents... then open Media folder to find all your clips unedited. Copy them to where ver you want.
The format will be .dv which apple calls DV Stream. You still may need to do some conversion if your PC doesn't handle DV Stream files.

N82 Video clips transfer

When I use data transfer to copy MP4 video from PC to N82 device, I tried to copy to my video folder of the memory card, however when I try to play the video clip from the video center, it says "cannot play clip".
Anyone knows what the problem is?

Not all MP4 videos will play on the N82.

Raw video clips flash and thumbnails never load in the Ingest window when I try to transcode.

I am having a recurring issue of not being able to ingest video clips from an external hard drive in order to transcode them in Prelude. When I access the files in the ingest browser window, they all flicker continuously and the thumbnails never load. It is preventing me from being able to check any individual boxes to transcode. Help?!

Make sure that you allow the plugin-container process in the firewall.

Importing and organizing raw video footage - options

greetings-
Looking for a better solution, if available, for importing & organizing raw video. I am using imovie for now. Soon to switch to FC express. After much exploring & learning on my new machine (recent convert), I’m a bit frustrated on how it video is handled.
Please correct any of these that I’ve got wrong, but it appears that:
Importing video (from DV camera) with programs provided on my machine can only be done through imovie and idvd.
Importing video through these programs requires creating a project, and importing the video to that project.
Then that imported video is associated with that project.
So I want to take the imported clips (say from imovie), and organize them archiving, use on other projects, backup, etc. I know that I can find the actually video files by control clicking on the project in finder, hit show package, and get to "clip 1, clip 2...clip 55". This represents the raw footage, but now I’ve got say 55 separate clips, for just one import.
I’d like to effectively organize my various raw videos by year/event etc. So that when working a project, a can pull in the different footage that I want to use. For instance, I previously imported and organzied video footage with my PC editing software, and now, thankfully, I can just bring that various footage from the external drive into Imovie and edit. If I want to do a project and grab some footage from 04, 05, 06, it's all right there.
Is there a better solution for import & organizing my raw video clips more efficiently with imovie or idvd?? Or perhaps another program. Such that I’ve got the 1/2 hr of video "Christmas 05", one file (not 40 seperate clips), saved, and can pull it into projects as needed in the future... Ideally maintaining the clip breaks. Am I asking to much from apple? How do you all import/manage/save your imported video?
Much thanks for any feedback!

Ciao Rubbersoul,
unfortunately iMovie doesn't allow you to rename the clips (other than within the project), so if you want to label them for future reference, you'll have to do that outside iMovie.
I personally save the best shots from each project to an external hard drive using the following method:
• simply drag the desired clips from the iMovie project to the desktop
• organize the clips by creating the appropriate folders (e.g. by subject, time, etc.), so you'll find your footage faster
• rename the clips within the folders. If you don't need to give each clip a separate name, you can use tools like Renamer4Mac (http://www.power4mac.com) to batch-rename the clips.
• transfer and organize your folders/clips on the external (Firewire) hard disk. You can do that manually or by using media browsers like iDive to organize and view your clips. iDive is a digital hub that can help you to keep not only your video but also music and pic collections under control, and it integrates with iMovie and FCE/FCP. Check it out here:

Always remember that DV eats up a lot of disk space and don't forget to back up your footage to tape.
spero che ti sia d'aiuto

Only raw video can be used with green screen background? What?

Latest of all software.
I have played with green screen a lot trying to make it work. The instructions say, and the only way to make it work, is to drag the background only to main time line in project pane, then drag a raw video clip from the events viewer on top of it, and choose green screen. This makes the video clip an add on to the main time line which is the back drop (like a title is an add on to a video clip).
As I have railed in other posts, this doesn't make much sense. But the real problem is you can only drag RAW video onto the back ground from events, and can not edit it any way afterwards (since it is treated as an add on, not the main time line). You can edit the back ground, since it is in the main time line.
The bottom line is: you cannot drag a RAW video onto the project pane, edit it and get it the way you want, and then add a back ground via the green screen. This make no sense.
Am I doing something wrong?
Any ideas?

Well, here is a convoluted method that seems to work...
1) drag the raw video to the project pane, edit to your heart's content.
2) save it as a .mov file (i.e. you are all done with it no more changes...ever).
3) import that .mov file File, Import as a new event.
4) drag the background(s) on to project pane, make it long enough for video
5) drag RAV .mov file (which is really a finished edited file) on to background, choose green screen).
You now have an edited .mov with a green screen background.
Could green screen be implemented more poorly? It would be hard to see how.
I still feel like I am missing something. Any ideas?

How do I transfer video clips from iPhoto to iDVD? I followed the instructions in the help section but it did not work.

I would like to make a DVD from video clips I took of my Grandchildren. I went to the help section and it stated to click on the video clip, then click 'share' and choose 'send to iDVD'. That option was not available on the share button. How to I transfer to iDVD. Thanks for any help.

Do you plan to put each video clip in iDVD to be playes separately? If so then here's how:
1 - open iDVD and select your theme.
2 - click on the Media button at the bottom right and then on the Photo button at the top.
3 - in the search window type in ".mov" (or the extension of the video clips you plan to use).
4 - all of the video clips with the extension you entered will be displayed and you can drag them into the menu area at the left.
Another way would be to put all of the video clips in an Album and click on that album to view and drag the clips:
Remember, the order that they are added to the menu will be the order that the buttons will highlight when you scroll thru the buttons with a DVD player remote.
This will give you a menu with a separate button for each video clip (up to 12 in a menu with some themes).
If you want to play all of the clips one after another you could create a slideshow in iDVD with the "+" button at the bottom and drag the video clips into the slideshow as you would still photos. Set the slide duration to anything but manual and don't apply any transition.
That will let you play all of the clips sequentially.

Transfer of video clips to iDVD

Is it possible to transfer video clips to iDVD from a DVD disc from a Sony Handycam DVD202E? There is no computer connection with this camcorder so data transfer would have to be directly from the finalized DVD disc. This does not of course show specific video clips but contains the data in a number of VIDEO_TS folders.

You are going to have to rip the MPEG2 files from the DVD to DV then import that into iMovie or FC then export that to iDVD
Your options are:
Decoding programs like DVxDVD or MPEG Streamclip (this one is free but you need the Apple MPEG Encoder to use it) and Mac the Ripper
Import the video into iMovie/FCE by playing the DVD thru a camcorder with pass thru capabilies or by using an analog converter
Do a search on any of these for more info
Cheers

Importing a lot of video clips from a Sony camera to FCE; during the Log and Transfer process, is there a way to add multiple clips to the browser instead of one at a time?

Select one and click cmd-A which selects them all.
Then click the import button if it hasn't started already.

My handset model is Nokia 3110C. The memory of which is around 32~34 MB. I have installed Memory Card of 2GB. Currently, the Video Clip Folder can accommodate only 8 MB maximim. The Files dowmloaded can not save beyond 8 MB. But my SD can hold upto 50 MB.
It will be wise to transfer the Video Clip Folder to SD to enhance memory space to 3110C.
Can any learned user guide me as to - how to transfer present Video Clip folder or its contents FROM 'My Galler' Folder TO SD Folder ?

Bluetooth File Transfer Problem with Video Clips -...

Hello!
I am posting this problem even though a similar one is claimed to be solved ...
I have a similar Problem with BT video clip file transfer in my E5-00 as someone had earlier with music files (SW up to date). Except that in this case the files are unique video clips received from one of the latest Samsung Android phones via Bluetooth (don't ask me which format).
Tried the obvious first, using Windows File Manager over USB. Even Windows Search could not locate the files, not even using wildcards.
Also tried using Ovi Suite Syncronisation, but the files did not appear in either Photos/Videos or Messages (even though the files are in the SMS Inbox - does not make sense why).
The problem in applying the solution approach presented here for Music seems to be that the files cannot be played at all in my E5-00's. Therefore I don't get as far as to the menu where the E5 would ask whether or not the files should be saved or not.
So far I have not been able to connect to an old bluetooth laptop (Windows XP) so that the Bluetooth Exchange would connect let alone seen whether the BTexchange works in this case or not.
Is there any other chance of getting to the files through the directory structure? If so, please give me the (Windows) directory path? Any other advice than switching to Android?

Unfortunately I have reached an impasse. If I touch a video clip (in organizer) the system crashes. I mean locked up cold. I'm not sure what has caused this but I do know that I will not be able to communicate correctly or sufficiently with you in order for you to help me out.
I've found PS and Premier to be very difficult to work with. Very, very frustrating. Photography, both still and video, is not as enjoyable as it once was.
Again, I very much appreciate your initial help and if I get to a point where I've improved my situation ... I'll reach out again. Thanks

Editing raw video/saving individual clips

There are several methods for accomplishing this, and Steve's recommendation for SceneAlyzer is a good one, if one wants the longer Source File broken into "scenes."
When creating "sub-clips" * one must consider Handles, as if they edit too tightly, and then use those "sub-clips" in a Project, and apply Transitions, Handles will be necessary. This article goes into Handles in more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/701768?tstart=60
Also, using a CODEC, that does either light compression, or lossless compression, will pay quality dividends, when one goes to edit those "sub-clips." This article goes into more detail, for some lossless CODEC's: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/875797?tstart=0
Good luck,

* The term "sub-clips" is used here to denote shortened and edited Clips from a larger "master clip." Note: in Premiere Pro, and some other NLE (Non Linear Editor) programs, there is an official term Sub-Clips, that have a slightly different meaning, and function, within a Project. Similar, but different. Here, I am using the term in a slightly different fashion, hence the " marks, and lack of capitalization.
