Re editing to make mash up trailer

Help......can anyone explain the equipment (i have qt2 playback,mpeg streamline,..)or wher to find the steps to successfully begin to re edit for trailers.I have the dvd movie in one hand and mac pro in front of me.....help
mac book pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Do a search of this forum for something like "DVD to DV"
But basically you have to un-encode the DVD's MPEG2 to DV, the format FCE wants to work with
You can use software like MPEG Streamclip (this is free but you need Apple's MPEG Playback Component to make it work) or DVxDVD
Or you can hook a DVD player via analog cables to a DV cam or converter box, and use FW to hook that to the puter. Then set FCE for DV converter and use Capture Now to bring the footage in
There are other options as well
Just be aware that no matter what you do, you will experience some quality loss by the time you bring your program back to DVD, for instance

How to edit and make a high quality swf a low quality one

How to edit and make a high quality swf a low quality one. how do you do this in adobe flash cs5? The file i edited is entirely too large

click file/publish settings/html and use the quality settings dropdown.
if that doesn't lead to satisfactory file size, you may need to check the properties of each bitmap in the library to see if it's set to over-ride the global settings.

I NEED TO SHARE MY LR CATALOGS FROM LAPTOP TO MAC AND EVEN IPAD WITH NO EXTERNAL DEVICES - I WOULD LIKE ANY EDIT I MAKE FROM ONE COMPUTER TO BE MADE ON THE OTHER - HOW DO I DO THIS ?? THANKS!!

I NEED TO SHARE MY LR CATALOGS FROM LAPTOP TO MAC AND EVEN IPAD WITH NO EXTERNAL DEVICES - I WOULD LIKE ANY EDIT I MAKE FROM ONE COMPUTER TO BE MADE ON THE OTHER - HOW DO I DO THIS ?? THANKS!!

All the info you do with your image files is stored in the Lightroom Catalog file. The Catalog file cannot be located on a network it must have a physical connection to the computer.
While the Catalog is in use a LOCK file will be temporarily placed alongside which prevents its use by any other device.

PSE7 is not saving the edits I make to my pictures

I'm working in the Editor and I am saving the edits I make as a jpeg file. I then go back to Organizer and my edits were not saved.
Any ideas why this might be happening?

Usually, File->Catalog->Repair and Optimize will fix the problem for future edits

I don't want soundtrack in iMovie to mimic edits I make in footage

Hello,
I'm using iMovie 11 v. 9.0.4.
I'm creating a complex slideshow to go along with a complex soundtrack. I have the audio separated from the photos, but every time I make some sort of edit in the photos, an edit is likewise made in the audio soundtrack. I would like the soundtrack to just sit there and not mimic the edits I make in the photos. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Thanks for your help!

1. You can not trim off the part of the title where it fades in or out.
Yes you can using a application like QT Pro ($30) or MPEG Streamclip (free). (I.e., "EXTERNALLY" as stated above.)
2. I am going to need to overlay a png picture over a video, which I don't believe I can do in iMovie HD.
But you can with iMovie '08 as per response to your original post.

Cannot make a movie trailer

I cannot make an movie trailer. The problem starts at creating a new movie trailer. In the 'New Project' window the small preview window shows a black screen.
Also all of my other created trailers don't work.
Every time I select a movie trailer project iMovie messes up all my other movies as well: the preview window (right top) shows a gray or white or just a wrong image.
When I select a project and I want to play it (in the preview window or full screen) sometimes I see nothing but I hear the sound of an other project.
I have a 2.93 GHZ Core i7 very fast iMac with 10.7.2 so everything is up to date.
This is what I have done already:
- deleted the com.apple.iMovieApp.plist in the library > preference folder
- restarted iMac
- restarted iMovie
Every time a lot of problems appear and the preview window shows strange blocks...
New made (corrupted) movie trailers cannot be deleted also. I have to delete them in the finder.
No luck so far... Has any one an idea?
Jeroen

Jeroen, One last thing to try (as I am running out of ideas quickly) is to create a new User Account under System Preferences > Accounts > Click on the Plus botton under the left side window where it shows all the accounts. Login as that user in that new account, launch iMovie and see if the Movie Trailers are not working.
Failing that, try booting up with the Shift key held down (Safe Mode) until you see the timer start spinning. Once you see the desktop, launch iMove and see if the Movie Trailers are not working.
In the first instance if it works with a new user account it's a preference file or some permission in your default user account tha's broken. Don't know which one it would be or how to repair it.
In the second instance it may be an add-on program, system extension or helper application that is causing the problem. In that case it would require uninstalling them one at a time and testing iMovie to see if reacts differently after those items are uninstalled.
Lastly, try moving all your Movie Trailer Projects out of the Movies folder (just pull them out temporarily). And see if you can create a new Movie Trailer Project. Sometimes a corrupted project can cause iMovie to fail in odd and mysterious ways. If this were to work it would be a matter of putting one Movie trailer back into the Projects folder one at a time, opening them inside of iMovie, quitting iMovie, move the next project, etc. This way it would possible to establish which Project is the culprit.

How to edit the text in a trailer 'after' converting to a project?

After converting my trailer to a project so I can add photographs and further music. I accidently deleted the last frame of the trailer credits.. and now need to add it back in. Your help is much appreciated! Nick

Try Command-Z or Edit/Undo. (if you deleted the whole title page).
You can edit text by clicking in the text.

Trying to make imovie incorporating trailer, video and slideshows

i am trying to make a video in iMovie starting with a trailer, then a movie (video clip), then a slideshow, another movie, another slideshow, another movie, then my last slideshow. I burned a copy, but it won't play continuously. I have to keep going back to the menu to choose the next section. How can I set it so it goes from the trailer right into the movie then into the slideshow, etc.....?

i didn't mean to say iMovie. I meant to say iDvd. I have finalized the trailer as an imovie and I have exported the slideshows into itunes and dragged them into my iDvd. They are all there and will burn just fine, I just don't know how to get them to play continuously without my intervention when they burn!!!!

How do I make the edits I make to pics and vids on iPhoto on my mac to sync to my iPhone?

I make changes to pics and videos on the events on iPhoto on my Mac, when I sync these to my iPhone the pictures and the vids transfer without the editing that I have made. How do I change this?

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? Have you tried republishing your site with the File ➙ Publish Entire Site menu option?

Address Book Note Field reverts back any edits I make

I have been a long time Apple user and Address Book. I have noticed something peculiar happening with my contact notes in Address Book. Changes that I make to the note field, by either deleting or adding information will revert back to previous record before my edit. This does not appear to happen to all contacts but definitely is happening on multiple contacts and I have no idea as to why.
The only way I have found to fix this problem is to make a vcard of the contact onto my desktop. Then delete the contact and reimport the vcard, this seems to fix the problem, but I have close to 4000 contacts and it is a random thing. Please help if you have any suggestions.
David

thx for the quick response VK
I sync with an iPhone but not mobile me.
I corrected 25 sync conflicts a few moments ago but that did not help the situation
I rebooted and ran a few YASU scripts... that did not help either
I removed pref files and still have the same bug rearing its ugly head in the notes field
I rebuilt the AB DB and... the bug is still occurring
interesting news is that:
I added a new record and the bug did not occur!
I copied one of the offending records and then edited the copy by deleting the first 3 lines of notes.. this resulted in the same bug (the first 3 lines reappeared)
I then clicked the EDIT button and replaced the first 3 lines of notes with text
and the change was saved... this worked.
Then I deleted the offending record and checked back with the copy that I just created... it was fine
the issue is that when I edit an existing record, I will have no assurance that my edit is saved after I leave that record and continue to another one...
hope you have some ideas
so that I can trust AB once again
thanks..
what next?

Help chosing movie editing/dvd maker program

ok im looking for a program that dose movie editing, green screen effects, it has to be high end "what the pros use" price is not a problem!
thank you
Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Hello John,
I respectfully disagree with your sequence for the following reasons.
1. iMovie has nothing to do with professional editing software. People who start with that have to spend precious time unlearning a process that in no way matches how FCP, Avid or even Premiere work.
2. FC Express is essentially the same interface but crippled in significant ways if you wish to move into an editing job. The lack of Logging & Batch capture alone is a non-starter for me.
3. If you start with FCP, do the tutorials, read the manuals and go to FCP User Groups in your area, you can learn the software. Yes, it is dense but if the OP is committed, it can be learned in a comprehensive manner.
It is true FCS has a bunch of software the OP is unlikely to use initially, so what? I rarely use Motion or Soundtrack as I learned other software (AE and Peak) and use those instead. Does this make FCS a bad deal? Not at all. FCP and DVDSP alone are worth the price of admission.
Cheers,

How do I permanently save edits I make in LR3?

I am new to this software. I have an existing collection of over 40,000 images. I am an amateur photographer making images for
my own amusement, and I also document objects that are brought to me for restoration. Both purposes are very important to me.
I have been using Picasa to manage my photos for several years. While it is limited, it is very elegant and easy to use. It also does not change the original file until a request is made for a permanent change, at which point a backup original is made. Once saved, the picasa edit can be viewed by any other viewer, software or browser I am aware of.
I am liking all the manipulations that are possible with LR3. I am concerned that there seems to be no way to save an edited file so that it can be viewed using other (non adobe) software. I want to be able to upload images to my website, and to be able to share with my customers, friends, family etc. I do not want to be locked in to Flickr . I am very concerned that I might spend huge amounts of time learning LR3 then even huger amounts of time editing my images with it, only to find at some point down the road that I will be locked in and unable to see my work using another software/viewer/browser. I.E. what if I were to convert to a Mac and decide to use Aperture 3 instead? What if somebody else comes up with software I prefer and wish to change? Am I always going to be bound up with LR to see my edited work? What if Adobe decides to no longer support LR3 and replaces it with a product that I find unacceptable, unaffordale or incomprehensible? (all three scenarios have happened to me in the past). Will I have to rework thousands of images years from now? I am very confused about this, and would much rather drop the software now before I get in too deep. I absolutely do not want to be commited to having to use anybody's software forever.
I see the line "Web Photo Gallery created by Adobe Lightroom." and it terrifies me. I may have used a Pentax camera, and Adobe software, but the images were created by me, and I wish to retain total control over my work.

I quite understand and greatly value the non invasive features that preserve the original data.
I also appreciate basics, from which I can learn and extrapolate.
I edited and exported a dng file, to a jpeg format, it went from 9mb to 865kb
I edited and exported a 9.6mb jpg which became a 1.5 mg jpg.
I did a separate edit (major crop) and small adjustements using Picasa, and saved a copy. Both jpg.
The original was 11.4 mb, and the copy 5.2 mb.Used the same file to do an edit using the camera mfg
software, and the file went from 11.4 to 983kb
I may be missing something very obvious or I may be overly paranoid.
Most of the time, once I am done with an edit, I do not wish to revisit.
I am concerned about what happens to 90% or so of the data. I remain
unclear about the integrity of the "exported"/ "saved" edit in the event that original file/data is lost, or separated from
the LR coding instructions,
or if LR becomes unsupported or abandoned.
Being able to reference conservation treatment data 10 or 15 years down the road can be critical.
Memory is cheap. If the answer is multiple back ups for original data, metadata, and pertinent software, then
that is an answer. If it means the editied image is forever and permanently linked to LR, and without LR,
the original file must be re-edited to similar result, that is also an answer. If the loss of information results in image degradation
analagous to photographing a magazine print of an original transparency, or trying to work with data from a thumbnail image,
that is also an answer. Whichever if any is the most accurate, defines my approach to how I might use this software. A little like archival quality printing versus drug store snapshot prints. Time spent editing is orders of magnitude greater that time spent capturing the image. Protecting that investment of time is what I am ultimately interested in.

I need to move my profile to an external drive but the edits I make to the profile.ini file don't seem to be working

I am using a Mac, and need to have my profile be on an external drive. I edit the profile.ini file per the instructions I found here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb
but it's not working. I must have the path wrong. Again, I am using a Mac. Here is the info in the profile.ini file:
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=0
Path=Macintosh%HD/My%20Passport/Thunderbird/Profiles/o6fqy09d.default
Default=1
Do you see anything about the path that looks incorrect? The "My Passport" is the external drive.
Also, if there was an updated disk image for Portable Thunderbird, I could try setting that up but all I can find is a very old one which I tried but it won't update.
Thank you,
Todd

The "My Passport" external drive must be mounted somewhere in the file system. That's the path you need to use.

I have a major problem regarding Itunes mismatching sort-artists to the actual artist and reverting edits i make

this has been ongoing for about one and a half years, it started when one day i signed in and discovered that nearly everly. single. song was mismatched all over the place, it took me a while to understand why because i'm not tech savvy, but discovered that the sorting on each song had changed (for example, a piece by Beethoven would have the artist as Beethoven, but the Sort Artist under David Bowie etc...) I spent a year redoing everything, going through every single artist manually and changing it, hoping that would be the end of it. But now it's happening again, I do a thing where I change the Sort Artist and the Viewed Artist of an album to a certain classical composer so that it's all under his name in one place, however every week or so when i sign into itunes, it's all reverted back to the original artist name (IN NAME ONLY) by that i mean when i click on the piece of music, it immediately resets and jumps back down to where it should be (Händel for example) this is extremely frustrating as each time i sync my ipod it gets the mismatched artist info again, how in ** name do i stop this?
for clarification: with the pieces on which i click to revert back to normal, when i check their info, they have not only the correct artist, but also the correct sorting artist in place which i have put there, so it makes no sense why they would revert

Are making the changes in iTunes or using an external app? Do you use "update iTunes Match"?
