Replacing a photo or video clip

Hello,
What is the easiest way of replacing a photo or video clip with a different photo or video clip on the timeline without messing up the overall sequence or length of the video?

Hi(Bonjour)!
You can do a replace edit. Place the playhead at the start point of the clip you want to replace in timeline. Open the new clip in viewer (with this playhead at the in point or start point). Drag the new clip on the edit ovelay in canvas to the replace option. This process will work only and only if there is enough material in the new clip to cover the old one. The 3 edit points method can be used to do a more precise job. See the manual.

  • IMovie11 - MARKING PHOTOS AND VIDEO CLIPS USED IN PROJECTS

    After endless research, I have finally figured out how to mark the photos and video clips I have in my project so that I don't duplicate them in my project. It's actually easy once you know how to do it.
    1. Create your new project (Movie)
    2. Create your event with the photos and videos you want to use from iPhoto. Name your event same as your Project to make it easier to find the event for that project. The work flow will be > Event > iPhoto Library  > Albums > Select the entire Album or individual items.
    iMovie will not mark any photo or video that is not stored in iPhoto, so make sure you have your Photos and Video stored there. You can always delete any media later you don't want to keep. I found it easiest to organize the media I will be using in a project into an Album, and give it a name relating  to your Project so you know where they're at, and you don't have to sort through your entire iPhoto collection to find them.
    3. Now you have your Photos / Video in your event.
    * As you ad the media to your project, an ORANGE line will appear on the media indicating you used it in the project you currently have open.
    * If you see a PURPLE line on any of them, that indicates they are used in a different project you have created. >>> See Attachment ...
    Remember that you will only see these mark lines in events.

    If you don't want iDVD to show its theme or menu then go into the Map mode in iDVD and drqg the slideshow containing the photos and video clips into the blue Auto Play bin at the left.
    Click to view full size
    When inserted into a DVD player it will begin playing immediatey.  However, when findished it will fall back to the menu so use the menu which would look best for the situation.  They can be modified by droppiing image files into the menu settings bin to give it a different background.
    Make sure your photos and video clips end up  in the slideshow together:

  • Replace audio in multiple video clips at one time

    Hello. I am new to the forum so I apologize if I break any of the rules!
    I have a collection of tutorial videos, all edited but the audio had some balance issues. The files were not in Premiere Pro at the time. They are the final edited videos but then I was told the audio needed to be adjusted. 
    I have re-balanced the audio, saved the audio as wav files and now I need to replace the old audio (in the finished video file) with the new audio (the wav files I edited and saved). The timing is all the same. It's just a matter of replacing the current file.
    Is this doable as a batch process? Is it doable in Premiere Pro or do I need to use Audition or some other Adobe software?
    I hope this makes sense.
    Thank you in advance!

    my husband saved a load of photos and video clips to icloud, my phone has been taken so i no longer have it but didnt know how i can get up my photos without my phone please help.

    Hi shaza31,
    If your iPhone was set to save photos to Photo Stream, you may be able to access them by turning on Photo Stream on your other devices. The following article may be helpful:

  • I wrongly erased photos and video clips, can I retrieve them?

    I wrongly erased photos and video clips, can I retrieve them?

    Depends on how do you want to do it. If you store your backups with iCloud - try in your iPad's preferences. If you keep your stuff on your computer - plug your iPad in and launch iTunes, the photos should be there.

  • Trying to distinguish photo from video clip ?

    Hi,
    I have just started using A3. I have noticed that it is difficult to distinguish between photos and video clips in A3. Only from the metadata badges you can see a very small icon in the bottom right hand corner.
    Is there a better way to easily see a which is a video clip ?
    The only way I can see is to sort by file size.
    Any inputs ?

    There should be a default "Videos" Smart Album in your Projects and Albums shown on the Library tab of the Inspector. That will show you all or your videos.
    As you've noticed, video are flagged with a small badge which you can show in either the Viewer or the Browser. (The shortcut for showing metadata overlays is "u" in the Browser and "y" in the Viewer.) You could apply a colored label to all your movies if you would like them to stand out more in the Browser. In the "Videos" Smart Album, select all, then "Metadata>>Label>>ChooseColor".
    There are, of course, any other number of ways to do similar things. Filter on +"File Type = Video"+. Put all your videos in Projects in a separate Folder. Make Albums of videos. Apply the keyword "Video" to all videos. Append something like +" video"+ to the filenames of all videos, and then just use the text search.
    HTH.

  • I've been using iMovie for a while now to make movies out of mostly travel photos and video clips.  I try to vary the time for the photos from 1-4 sec.  Any ideas out there?

    I've been using iMovie for a while now to make movies out of mostly travel photos and video clips.  I try to vary the time for the photos from 1-4 sec., although most of them are 1-2 seconds so as to keep it short.  A friend of mine who saw my most recent product said that this is too short.  Any ideas out there?

    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.

  • Music splits when adding photo and video clip

    Every time I add a new photo or video clip it makes the music split, so there is a gap in music from the beginning of the clip to the end. I can pull the music back, but that is getting aggravating. Is it the setting I have it on?

    There's a grey horizontal line near the middle of each track. When you drag a new item from the browser into the timeline, it appears with a black arrow. As you drag, when the cursor is above the grey horizontal line, the black arrow points right, meaning you're performing an "insert" edit, which moves everything else to the right in the timeline. If the cursor is below the grey line, the black arrow points down, meaning you're performing an "overwrite" edit, which should leave your audio tracks in place.

  • Creating and saving a photo from video clip in iMovie '11

    Hello,
    My dad took what he thought were photos from his iPhone. Turned out to be a bunch of one second video clips as he accidentally had it on the video camera mode. Trying to create a still photo image from these clips. What's the best way to do this? Is iMovie able to do this? If so, some guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    I did try searching with no luck.
    Thanks for your help,
    AJ

    You can import the clips from your iPhone into iMovie 11.
    There are two approaches. Let's call them the shotgun approach and the rifle approach.
    Shotgun approach:
    Drag the 1 second video clips into an iMovie Project. Then SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME.
    Choose Still image sequence. This will give you 30 jpegs per second for all the clips. In other words, it will give you every single frame, converted to a still.
    Rifle Approach:
    Download a free app to your Mac called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5.
    Open MPEG Streamclip.
    In iPhoto, right click on one of the Video clips, and select "Show in Finder".
    Drag these clips from the Finder into MPEG Streamclip. You should be able to hit the Play button and see them all.
    Move the playhead in MPEG Streamclip to the exact frame that you want. Then click FILE/Export Frame. You can choose whether you want JPEG, TIFF, or PNG. And choose a location. Move the playhead to the next frame you want and repeat.

  • Displaying File Name for Photo and Video Clips in Premiere Elements 10

    I am using Premier Elements 10 on a Windows 7 Pro desktop computer to create
    a project consisting of 128 jpg photo and mp4 video clips.  Before creating
    the project I created a short file name for each clip describing its
    content.  I've added menu tags at locations which separate the project into
    discrete segments.  I've selected a disc menu which utilizes the menu tags I
    created.  I previewed the project and I'm satisfied that the DVD disc I
    intend to create will display everything I want except for one thing.  I
    have spent several hours trying to find out how to have each displayed clip
    include the file name (without extension) somewhere near the edge of each
    window as it is opened in the finished production.  I sure would appreciate
    some help with the steps needed to accomplish this.

    Welcome to the forum.
    This can most easily be accomplished by adding a Title (maybe from a Lower-Thirds Title Template), above each Clip/Still Image.
    I would create one such Title, and manually add the "File Name" in the location desired. Then, place that on a higher Video Track, above the Clip/Still. Then, just use the Duplicate Title function, to create a new Title, with the Text and Style, per the first - edit the Text for each, as required.
    I know of no automated method to grab the Clip's/Still's File Name, and add that to a Title, as PrE does not support any scripting.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Merge Still Photos with Video Clips?

    I have an iMovie project containing only video clips in the timeline, arranged by capture date/time. I also have an iPhoto file containing still photos of similar material. How can I import all of the iPhoto stills into the iMovie project such that the photos are inserted within the timeline and combined with the video clips so that everything (photos and videos) is arranged by date/time? Is that possible? If not, can someone suggest a script that will do just that?

    iM is no 'scriptable' app, video editing is usually no process for any automatic tasks...
    I would...
    * give the photos some names which indicates where in timeline of the iM project they belong (numbers 1,2,...? a date...?)
    * place photos manually into time of project...
    ... yes, video-editing is sometimes a painstaking, time-consuming tasks ... ;))

  • Showing Photos While Video Clips Continue to Play

    I am trying to fade in photos while a video clip and its sound continue playing. (Although the video clip continues to play, it's obscured by the photo.)
    Currently when I place a photo into the storyboard the video clips stop playing, the photo shows, and then the video starts again.
    Does anyone know how photos can appear in my movie without interrupting the playing of the video and its audio?
    Thanks!

    Hi bcas and welcome!
    You want to superimpose a still photo on a moving video? No problem!
    But you need to buy Quicktime Pro. Here is how to do it (don't worry about the references to video within video, it works the same for stills - you will soon get the hang of it!
    Organise the video clips and/or stills that you want to superimpose on to your main video clip, by having these in separate, individual iMovie projects (no matter how small). It helps if these are in the exact length/time you want later.
    Now start with the clip in your iMovie project on to which you want to superimpose one of more smaller video clips or stills. Lets call it Main Clip. Export this (share) to Quicktime Pro in DV (full quality). make sure it has the same aspect as before (Quicktime tends to default to 4:3. If you want 16:9, read on).
    In Quicktime, with this project open, select File ~ Open File. Select the iMovie file (in your movies folder) of the first clip/still you want superimposed. This will open in its own QT window. Select Edit ~ copy. If it is a movie clip then select all ~ copy (or you will only get one frame!). Switch back to the Main Clip window, and click in the scroll bar where you want the extra clip/still to appear. Choose Edit ~ Add to Movie.
    You can repeat this as many times as you like, if you want to build a 'Video Wall', i.e. have several superimposed clips/stills on the same Main Clip.
    Do not worry that the new clip overlaps or covers up the Main Clip, at this stage.
    Choose Window ~ Show Movie Properties. The Properties Dialogue appears.
    You will see a list of video (and audio) tracks. Track one will be the Main Clip, track 2 your new added (superimposed) clip. Click track 2, then click visual settings. From the Scaled Size pop-op menu, choose percent. Then type 50 into the first box. If Preserve Aspect Ratio is turned on you won't need to type 50 into the second box. You have made the pasted footage appear at one quarter its original size. The inset is now hugging the top-left corner of the Main Clip. If you want, you can type numbers into the Offset Boxes to shove it away from that corner (there are 72 pixels to the inch).
    If your original Main Clip was required in 16:9, unclick (de-select) Preserve Aspect Ratio, and type in 1920 in the first box, and 1080 in the second, in Video Track 1. This will not affect video track 2, but if that is also wanred in 16:9 repeat for that track.
    You can superimpose, 3, 4, or more such 'overlaps' on the same clip, and spend a happy afternoon tapping away for each track in the Offset Boxes until you have got them all in the right place! You can even overlap them, if you can remember (or note down - hire a secretary to take notes) which track you want on top etc.
    Save the completed QT file. Import the completed file into a new iMovie project. Import this into the original iMovie project, substituting the old clip you copied to QT as Main Clip for the new fancy clip you have made.
    Have fun!

  • Sorting (separating) photos from video clips  in iphoto 5

    Hi!
    I have 15,000 clips in my iphoto and time to trim her down. We use little canon powershots, which also takes this little video clips. Kids have put a lot in there. 4 years, 2004-2007
    Everything is sorted by date, of course. IS THERE A WAY to separate out (so I can view and store or trash) the many video clips from the photos?
    Currently, I am just scrolling down photo by photo and trying to catch the video clips as I see them.
    I am looking for an easier way to put all these clips (vid) in one place
    JON

    Hi JON,
    Make a Smart album with the criteria of "keyword" is "Movies"
    Now you can see all the movies in one album. From there you can view the movies, trash the ones you don't want, drag the ones you do want to the desktop and put them all in a Movies folder and put that in your users Movie folder or burn that folder to DVD to safely store the movies.

  • Extract photo from video clip?

    Can I extract a photo from an m4a video clip?
    I used my iPhone to shoot about one second of video instead of a still picture, as I'd intended; now I want to get a still from the clip.
    Any ideas on the best way to do this with iPhoto or iMovie, or some other application? Thanks.

    Not with iPhoto - try iMovie - there is a forum and a help menu
