Recommended method for video clip on site

Hi all and thank you very much for your help so long.
I have a video clip of about 6minutes. What is the recommended way to put this clip on my site? I don't want viewers to use a lot of bandwidth to watch this. Is it better to put in on YouTube with the embedded link on my site or what do you think?
This will be the first time ever I put a video clip on my site.
Regards,
Deon

Hi Deon,
Yes, using an external service seems to be a good choice. Their servers are designed to deliver video.

No volume adjustment for video clips

Hi there!
I have noticed that the volume adjustment for video clips, set in the options pane of the clip itself, will not be respected by iTunes while playing the video.
Is there someone else with a similar issue or already with a solution?
Thanks in advance!

I've tested all versions since 10.0.1 (for PC) and none work. Versions 10.0.1 and below will allow you to change the volume adjustmant and the equalizer setting for individual videos. No answer from apple! You can try an older version like I did.

Best Method For Importing Clips Between FCP Projects

What is the best method for importing clips between FCP 7.0.3 projects? I am wondering whether or not pulling the clips from the Capture Scratch folder is the way to go or will using Import from the new FCP project create a new folder in Capture Scratch with the imported clips? I have a new HD camcorder with different clips for different projects and Log and Transfer makes it so easy to bring them all in at once but now wondering how best to separate them into separate Capture Scratch folders for each project.

well, I simply either drag them in to the new/different project from the finder, or drag or copy and paste between open fcp projects. Never had any problems working this way. Just remember that if you delete a specific project scratch disk folder, you may be deleting media used in another project.

Custom Library section - For Video Clips

Hey I was wondering if there is away to make a custom itunes library section for video clips?
I have a bunch of funny, racing, and youtube clips I downloaded a long time ago. They are the only thing I dont have in my iTunes library but they dont fit in the Music or Tv section.
Any suggestion? or scripts in order to be able to add a custom section, I dont care if it doesnt sync with my iphone, ipod, or apple tv. I just want them to be in iTunes.
Thanks

Bump, even if there isn't a way to have a custom section, is there a way to submit a suggestion to Apple support. It would be great to have other sections that relate to what kind of Media. Since I dont read Audio books I would put them in that section but it doesnt read video files. I really hate having them under the movie section and music video section.
I really hope apple / iTunes team will allow custom sections that will allow any video files to be added.

Recording commentary track for video clip

I have recorded and edited some video clips and now i want to record an audio commentary to layer onto the audio of the video clip, like how directors do the alternate commentary track for a lot of dvds. It would be a recording of 2-6 people sitting viewing the video together with it's original audio.
Ideally,
1)I would mic each person and feed the mic into the computer to record them each as seperate tracks. I think stp can't do that, but garageband might?
2)I don't want the mics picking up the original audio of the scene they are watching, but I want the people giving the commentary to hear the original audio, as well as what they are saying and what the other people that are sitting in and recording are saying. So the only way I can see that working is to somehow have the original audio of the scene piped into headphones, along with the audio of all the other tracks being recorded.
So how is this all possible, either through my method or another method you could think of. And what equipment would i need, like a mixer or audio interface. If I can't do this natively in stp, than what can I use, like garageband, that i can import into stp for final mixing.

1) STP 1 can't do multi-track recording but STP 2 will be able to do it. In the meantime, yes, you can use GarageBand.
2) You're right, you'll need headphones.
If you want dedicated audio tracks for each one, you'll need an audio interface with multiple preamps like MOTU 8pre. You could also use only a stereo mic to record the whole room. That way, you could use an interface with only two mic pres and you'll need less mics too. And since it would be only one track, you'll be able to use STP. For this kind of recording, you'll want to use condenser mics.

A tip how to make iMovie '08 rescan the iPhoto library for video clips

I could not figure out how to easily force iMovie '08 to rescan all iPhoto library video clips. My problem was that my Casio S880 videos had the audio format DVI ADPCM which is not supported by iMovie '08. I made a script which transcoded all my iPhoto library videos' audio track to AAC. But after this was done, the iMovie didn't still show them in iPhoto videos. iMovie checks only for NEW entries in iPhoto Library after last scan.
One simple workaround is to duplicate the transcoded video in iPhoto and then delete the original. But if you have a lot of clips here is a better way to do this:
NOTE: This trick does not reimport already imported clips. This trick is useful only if you want to force iMovie '08 to recheck old iPhoto movie clips if they are now valid for iMovie '08 or not.
1. Close iMovie '08
2. Open file HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie7.plist with the Property List Editor application (I think the application is part of Apple Developer Tools, I'm not sure if included in default installation). You may want to take a backup of the property file before opening it!
3. Find "lastiPhotoXMLDate" property and change the date value to be some older date, for example if you want to scan all files just change the year part to 1980 or similar.
4. Save the property file
5. Open iMovie '08, it should now check all iPhoto movie clips again if they are valid for iMovie '08.
The same thing can be achieved by just deleting the HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie7.plist file, but then you lose all your other settings.

I apologize for my confusion on your question. I find that depending on the principal of each photo and my target audience to determine the time frame for each photo. It seems most people get impatient with viewing one photo for more than 1-2 seconds if the photo is not complex.
If there are several things that interests the viewers in any one image, they want to look at it a second or two longer. If the movie of images is a training aid, the images may need to be more than 3 seconds. For intro's, or a trailer for a training movie, no longer than 1-2 seconds.
That was a long answer to say, generally speaking, I find 3 seconds to be an average time length.

Best method for videos

I need some advice. What would be the best method for putting a video on a page? How would I go about this method?
Also, the person who wants me to put in this video likely has it only in dvd format (A professor who records his lectures). Any suggestions as to a program that converts dvds to something simpler like a .mov or .mv4? Preferably a format compatible with the method I'm searching for.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Danielle,
there are so many possibilities (here too Google and the search function here in this forum could be your friends too ). That might be the reason that you didn't get an answer till now.

Button AS for video clip

Hello folks,
I know my question is probably stupid and very basic. But I
am new in Flash, so there is obviously lot of confusion. I would
like to post few video clips on my website (there are in Quick Time
format right now) What is the best way to do it. Should I import it
to Flash's library and play the clip from there? If so, do I need
to convert it to .fla first, or can I leave it in QT? And what is
the Action Script for this. When someone clicks on button called
for example: SEE VIDEO. What AS do I have to put into that button
for this video to play.
Thank you very much for any input.
Janek

Yes, I am an extremely new user, am having a similar problem
that I have a video file that I would like to play, but first I
have a jpg file that I would like to act as a button to start the
video. I have documentation (from Macromedia Training from the
Source) that tells me I can add AS to the hit portion of the button
(as I used to in flash 5) but I can't seem to get this to work. The
script assist tells me I can't add AS to the button.
Thanks for any help you can give me. suenashed

Audio Sample Rate for Video Clips?

How do you check the audio sample rate for a clip of video?
Thanks.

scroll over in the browser until you get to the column for audio. That's one way.

Looking for video clip sources

For example, I want to make a clip of bees swarming around people, but I need a short pre-masked video clip of a bee in flight to do this.
thanks in advance.

have you googled "footage" or "video clips"?

Using a Video Button. Do I have to make a timeline for video clip?

I am just learning how to use Encore CS6 and I have a question.
When I add a Video Button to my menu and want add a video clip inside that button do I have to make that clip its own Timeline or can I keep the clip in my Project Panel and just Drag and Drop it into the Video Button itself?
Thanks in advance
Encore CS 6
Power Mac Intel Xeon
10GB RAM

Thanks, but I have another question:
Let's say I have made made 20 new individual 30 Second QT Movies (or QT Reference Movies to save Hard Drive Space), and I want to use them on a Menu that I will constuct using a Template Menu and Submenus found in Encore CS 6.
I make my Menu ans Submenus and put 20 Video Buttons on 4 Submenus (5 on each Submenu). I import all 20 of my Newly Made QT Movies that I am going to use for the Video Buttons.
In order to place them in each Video Button, I would have to make 20 Different Timelines each consisting on an Individual 30 second QT movie and linking each timelone to a different button?
Is that how it works?
Do I have to have these timelines open, or can I just link to them inside the Project Pane in Encore?
Can I put all 20 QT movies on one Timeline, add markers to the beginning of each one and link the Video Buttons to each indivifual QT movie?
Thanks in advamce

Ken Burns effect for video clips

I like how you can pan a photo using ken burns in final cut pro x. Is there a way to do the same feature in video? I'd love a simple way to move around within a video clip without having to film using a slider.

I wonder if it would work better when video cams start outputting 4k.
Not really, not if you edit in a 4k project. It's becoming more common to shoot large frame formats and edit in 1080p, allowing you to reframe the shot. Personally I think that's just lazy, but I'm then one film camera old school.

Best conversion method for video so that it is viewable on my ATV and Touch

I have a bunch of home videos, podcasts, and movies that I would like to put in a format so they play well on my ATV and iPod Touch. The home videos were created in iMovie and shared to my iPod (using the link in iMovie). All play on my ATV, only some play on my ipod touch. Basically I want to convert or create all my video once and have it play on both devices. Any help would be appreciated.

I'd agree too, and indeed where I want video for my iphone I export it as a separate movie. However the OP has specifically stated the goal of having one movie to do all jobs.
In this case exports have to be targeted for the ipod/iphone and not the tv. How this is achieved depends on the video that is being converted. For the types of video mentioned by the OP, handbrake is not the answer.
Where possible avoid doubling up on processing, so from imovie export for the ipod/iphone (this varies depending on which imovie you use. For videos that aren't in imovie, the 'create ipod or iphone version' option from the advanced menu in itunes will do the job in most cases. Other tools you might use are Quicktime or even mpegstreamclip if your source video is either mpeg1 or mpeg2.

Since the FF8 update, all bookmarks were lost and none of the recommended methods for restoring lost bookmarks work; I always get "Unable to process to backup file" even though the backup .json files still exist

Since a FF8 update, all bookmarks were lost and none of the recommended restore methods work, even though I have been able to find the backup ".json" files; I continually get "Unable to process the backup file" for all methods of importing or restoring the bookmarks from the .json files. As others note, I can also no longer add any new bookmarks to my now empty bookmarks tab. My profile has not changed, so that's not the problem. This is really a pain.

Did you try to delete the file places.sqlite to make Firefox rebuild the places.sqlite database file from a JSON backup?
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_process_the_backup_file_-_Firefox
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

What's the best method for video loop + precached video transitions?

Hello, I am hoping that a kindly Flash guru can send me
running off in the right direction.
What I want to do is make a SWF which works in the same
manner as a DVD menu, using Flash video.
Simply put, that means having a video loop for the background
of each 'page', with links to other pages. Each of these links
would travel through a video transition to reach the next page.
I am an experienced Java programmer; After Effects user and
DVD Author but I have to admit that as a beginner to Flash, I find
the number of ways you can embed video... symbols... media server
etc. quite confusing.
All I want to do is have my loops and transitions as FLV
files on my normal HTTP server, play the current loop while
precaching the possible transitions etc.
I am very happy to research the precise coding aspect of this
but I am hoping someone can tell me which of the (apparently
numerous) methodologies available is the best one to go down.
Do I need to have all my objects in the timeline, or can I
have a single object and reassign the video with code?
If it helps my video loops and transitions are 400x300 and
around 4-10 seconds, so the bandwidth requirements aren't
unreasonable.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

so just make your video as movie clip. >import
video>deployment>embed video SWF and play in time
line>symbol type - movie clip > ..... than your video become
movie clip and you can easily modify like any other MC in time
line.
i hope that i'm answering your question so far.
