Saving A Movie Clip for Later Use in PowerPoint Presentation

Does anyone know how I can save a non-copyright movie clip coming down the line and played on AOL so I can then insert it in a Mac PowerPoint presentation? When I try to download now, save and replay it, I can’t view it unless I go back to AOL, which will no be available at my presentation sight. Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like it is either a "reference" movie or RTSP streamed movie. You may be able to access the former by loading the URL directly to the QT Player and saving it if you have QT Pro (or you may not). In either case, a screen capture application like Snapz Pro X could be used to capture anything displayed on your monitor.

How do I store a compound clip for later use or another project?

I created a compound clip, then lifted it from story line and disabled it, its darkened (invisible doesnt play in the viewer),
however its space runs as black empty frames when I play over it.
I want to do 2 things:
I wanted the footage proceeding it to shift in left to fill that black void and play, as the compound clip is "hidden". Is this possible?
I also wanted to save that compound clip for use later in this project and possibly in another project, can I save it out as a separate clip set?

I think I got it, lift the compound clip from storyline by right clicking and choosing "lift from storyline",
drag the compound clip left or right out of its original position, select the grey slate where it used to be in the time line, and hit delete. the clips to the right now shift left to fill its void.
and the compound clip is automatically available in the event library folder its grouped clips originated from but now shown as a compound clip once you create that compound clip..

How can I save a clip for later use?

When I am editing a project and going through my footage I often find a short clip that I'd like to use maybe later in the timeline or possibly to use in a different project. How can I do that?
This may be obvious but I want to rename and save that clip somewhere (I'm assuming the event library) so do I have to create a new clip from the original and save it or what?
Again, sorry of this is basic but its these litle things that seem to be the hardest to find out but make the biggest difference to the workflow and editing speed.
Cheers

If this is a one-off thing, mark the clip as a Favorite.

If you have a volume clips that you notice would be good for a particular purpose later, mark them with a keyword.

Then create a Smart Collection that contains clips with your keyword.

How To Annotate Clips For Later Use

All, long time user of Premiere Elements, but new to Premiere Pro....
I'm looking for an *easy* way to mark a clip (or preferably a point within a clip) as something I want to use later for an end-of-project montage.
One way seems to be to use the "insert marker" button in the timeline panel. Simple enough, but I don't see any way to later say "show me a list of any clip that has a marker in it".
I think I could click on each marker as I add it and enter some comment in the dialog box like "montage", and later find all those "montage" comments. But a) that's a few too many clicks and typing for my liking - too disruptive to my flow, and b) it's too dependent on me entering the exact word "montage" every time - any typo's or mistakenly entering "recap" or something instead, and the clip wouldn't show up.
Another way might be to check the "Good" box on the metadata(?) panel. But a) it only identifies a clip, not a point within a clip, b) I can't seem to find a way to later do a filter to bring up a list of every clip that's checked "Good", and c) I don't think I'd want to have the metadata panel open as part of my standard workflow, so every time I wanted to mark a clip, I'd have to switch the metadata panel, find the clip, and click the "X".
My perfect solution would be something like simply clicking the "insert marker" button on the timeline when I have something I want to use, then having a pre-defined filter (or something) that brought up a list of those marked clips (maybe even with an "in point" at the marked location!).
Thoughts? Seems like a fairly common workflow issue....

LOL! Sounds like you should try FCP X! Seriously, it's ability to automatically organize zillions of clips and sections of clips by **several** different keywords is far and away one of my favorite things about the program.
Barring that, however, I would suggest making subclips and naming them well. You will also want to setup a keyboard shortcut (there doesn't seem to be one by default). The menu item is under the "clip" menu. I know it seems like a lot of work but, with a keyboard shortcut set up, all you'd have to do is mark in and out points, hit the shortcut, a dialog box will popup prompting you for a name, and you're good to go for the next clip. Then make bins for each type of clip so you'd end up with a bin full clips names "montage_01", "montage_02" and so on.
I have found that taking the time, upfront, to organize your media **especially** if you have an awful lot of it, really saves a ton of time in the long run. Best of all, when the deadline is looming and you need to find a specific clip, it's right there where you put it.

IMovie HD refuses to import .MOV clips that it used to import.

I've got an odd problem. Doing a search didn't turn up anything relevant to my situation so I'm gonna try to pick some brains on here.
My Problem: My version of iMovie(5.0.2) no longer recognizes .mov clips that it used to. Meaning that when I try to import clips using settings that worked previously, I am now confronted with an Error during import message that reads "The file could not be imported: Unknown Error". Two things have changed since I last made a project.
1.) I have added a microphone that now allows me to record stereo audio. I don't think this is the culprit.
2.) I updated to 10.6.6 Recently. I think this may be what messed things up.
After trying to Drag and also import clips through the menu with no success, I tried to import clips that I have used before under the exact same conditions and was greeted with the same error. This is importing using the HDV 720p setting. If I try to import new or old clips using the standard DV (16:9) setting then everything works.
These same clips are able to be imported into iMovie '09 with no trouble but I am uncomfortable with that interface. Is there anything I can do to continue to work in iMovie HD or would I just be better off with getting used to iMovie 09?
Thank you for any replies.

I have Mac 10.6.6 and use iMovie 05 transferring it to iDVD 08. It is getting less easy to do, but usually i make the movie in 05, complete with chapter marking and press the export to DVD.
The file for the Movie I have made is saved automatically in the Movie folder on my owner/home page. To get it out to iDVD 08 open 08 and select create new project and click save This puts a small file into Documents, However to get your work into the new DVD select import>video and when the screen opens for you to find it go to your movie folder in your owners area and click to open the file. It works, but there is usually a problem somewhere along the line. Usually a different one each time, occasionally it goes like clockwork. It won't work if you try the drop down 'open' option.
This last time I got so irritated that I've downloaded the last set of film clips to 05 and then transferred them to 08 to compare the results. I still feel that the later versions are less good (?dumbed down) and await to be converted.

I have a band video that I want to edit. In iMove 09, I could clip to crop or add a transition or both without altering the audio. In iMovie 11, the audio lower or drops out when I clip for and use a transtion. Is there a setting to preven this?

Thanks for that info! Even in my time answering questions on iMovie Discussion Group, I never had a good understanding of when and how Optimize Movie came into play. I always would import as Optimized and Large Size and figured that was good enough. But knowing you got much, much more flexibility doing it the way you describe gives me a much better understanding of the different routes you can take into the Event Library.

Attach movie clips to scrollPane using attachMovie

Hi
I tried to attach movie clips to scrollPane using attachMovie
but could not do it
I tried the following code:
sp.contentPath="emptyMovieClip"
sp.content.attachMovie("boxesRow","boxesRow1",1)
trace(sp.content.boxesRow1)
Im able to trace the sp.content.boxesRow1 , but not seen in
the scrollPane
Can any one suggest me , how can I do this
Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thank you very much

hi,
The code is correct....
But, what i want to know is, are using the Identifier name of
the moviclips ???
"emptyMovieClip" should be an Ideintifier name for an empty
clip in the library.
and "boxesRow" should refer an identifier name of another
movie clip in the library...(its should also contain some object
for the visibility check)...

Best method for timestamping? (for later use with perl script)

What is the best method that I can use to timestamp events in Linux for later use with perl script?
I am performing some energy measurements.. where I am running several tasks separated by 20 secs in between. Before I start any execution of tasks, I always place initial delay for me to start the script and start the measurement device.
My problem is that I don't know how long is that first delay exactly. So to solve this, I thought I could use date commands to time stamp all tasks.. or at least to timestamp first dela.
Here is example of what I am doing:
1st delay
task 1
20s
task 2
20s
task 3..... etc
What would be the best to use?

logger.
It posts messages straight to the system log. You can see the message, in all its glory using tools like journalctl. You will see the message, the date, time, host name, user name, and the PID of logger when it ran.

Where are mobile Illustrator draw files stored for later use in Desktop Illustrator?

Hello,
who can tell me, where Mobile Illustrator draw vector files are stored for later use in Desktop Illustrator? In the cloud there are only .png and .jpg files. The Files are sent immediately to the desktop software, but when I want to use them later, I cannot find them anymore.

What exactly are your steps?
Create new file in Draw
Draw something
Send to Illustrator
... and then? Does Illustrator open on the desktop? What do you do with the Draw file?

XML parsing (KXml) - how to save parser's position for later use?

Hello.
I am parsing an xml file using KXmlParser and i want to keep the position of the parser for later use so i can continue from that same position.
int eventType = parser.getEventType();
        if (coupletForm!=null) {
            coupletForm.deleteAll();
        while (eventType != KXmlParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
            if (eventType == KXmlParser.START_TAG ){
                String element_name = parser.getName();
                if (element_name.equals("couplet")) {
                    coupletForm = new Form("Couplet 1");
                else if (element_name.equals("lead_one")) {
                    while (eventType != KXmlParser.TEXT || (eventType == KXmlParser.TEXT && parser.isWhitespace()) ){
                        eventType = parser.next();
                    //Now reached <description> element
                    coupletOptions = null;
                    coupletOptions = new ChoiceGroup("Choose lead:", Choice.EXCLUSIVE);
                    coupletOptions.append(parser.getText(), null);
                    parser_stack.push(parser);
                else if (element_name.equals("lead_two")) {
                    while (eventType != KXmlParser.TEXT || (eventType == KXmlParser.TEXT && parser.isWhitespace()) ){
                        eventType = parser.next();
                   //Now reached <description> element
                    coupletOptions.append(parser.getText(), null);
                    coupletForm.append(coupletOptions);
                    parser_stack.push(parser);
                    coupletForm.addCommand(CMD_NEXT);
                    coupletForm.setCommandListener(this);
                    display.setCurrent(coupletForm);
                    break;
            eventType = parser.next();
    }What i am doing here is parsing the xml file. When the parser finds an element with name <lead_one> it continues parsing until it finds the next element (<description>) and then creates a ChoiceGroup with the first option as the text found in the next element. I want to keep this position of the parser. The parser then continues until it finds element <lead_two> and does the same thing as <lead_one>. I want to save the positions of the parser when it stops at the <description> element. I am trying to do this using a stack, but this doesn't work.

If you want to select nodes based on changing criteria, you should use XPath.
If you have relatively fixed criteria, iterate over the nodes and pick out the ones that you want. For example:
public static List<Element> getChildren(Element parent, String tagname) {
    List<Element> result = new ArrayList<Element>();
    NodeList children = parent.getChildNodes();
    for (int ii = 0 ; ii < children.getLength() ; ii++) {
      Node child = children.item(ii);
      if ((child.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) && tagname.equals(child.getNodeName()) {
        result.add((Element)child);
    return result;
}

Urgent : Flash CC File is corrupted, symbol (movie clip) are empty, use count : 0 . ONE week of work lost, need help!

Hello,
I have been working on a Flash File with a lot of animations / symbols etc, and on thursday (during the Adobe Update), when I opened my file, all the symbol (movie clip) are empty, use count : 0.
The size of the file is still the same though, 35mo.
I had only this file, I really need help to repair it...
Please let me know if you have a solution.
Thank you!

hi,
Can you please share the file which got corrupted?
Was the original file created in older version(CS6 and below) of Flash?
Were you trying to open the file in Flash CS6?
Did your original file had symbol names containing | : ; & * , etc.characters or leading/trailing spaces?
Rgds,

Saving sets of adjustments for later and/or multiple use?

Hi,
I'd like to create a small library of numerous personal sets of adjustments for easy later use with other photos (taken with the same camera). What's the best way to do this?
I have found these instructions https://discussions.apple.com/message/12955195#12955195 but they seem to work only within the same editing session and with an examplary photo present from which I can copy the adjustments to other photos.
(I am sorry if I have overlooked a trivial solution; I am still a newbee to aperture...)
Thanks for any help,
Joe

Joe,
that post you linked to shows indeed the easiest way to do it:
you can create an album containing sample image versions showing the adjustments to want,
give those image versions suitable names, like color-adjustment-morning-light
and whenever you want that particular adjustment lift it from the sample image - this works not only in one session, you can lift the same adjustment again and again in years to come.
A second way to do it would be to define an "Adjustment Preset" in the Adjustments tab of the Inspector panel.
After settng the correct parameetr settings for your adjustment click the "Presets" drop down menu and select "Save adjustment" and name it. You can group your adjustment by using the "Edit" menu entry.
Good Luck

Archiving to DVD, but want it for later use

Hi,
I have read a number of posts about archiving footage, but either I am daft or my specific concerns haven't quite been answered.
I have a number of short clips (20-25 minutes) that have filled up my hard drive. They are all above DVD storage limitations, but I need to take them off. However, I am not totally done with them. I may want to re-edit some of them later.
The other posts seem to suggest my only options are re-exporting them to tape or getting an external hard drive.
Is there no other way?

What other way are you looking for???
Back up methods:
1) Back up tape drives. Most reliable, extremely cost ineffective for individual use.
2) Back up video to miniDV tape. Best option to archive video material. Cost effective but time consuming.
3) Use hard drives. Depending on the frequency of needing hard drives, purchasing a hot swappable case can be beneficial. Hard drives are inexpensive per GB, the fastest of all options, and fairly reliable.
4) Optical Media. The least reliable of the back up options. Time consuming sorting and burning media. Cost per GB is comparable to hard drives but seems less expensive as you can by a spindle of 20 discs for less than a hard drive.
If there is another back up option, I don't know of it!
