Sharing a short video clip

Please help. I have a short video clip that someone needs to see tomorrow.It is only two minutes long. I tried sending it every which way. I put it in my Idisk public folder. Did an Iweb thing. Saw it clear but it never got published. Tried to send it as an attachment, didn't work. It needs to be as clear as possible. Which way would be the best to send it so it would be the clearest?

I was able to publish it to iweb and it came out nice enough, but small as you know. I was able to make a .dv but it was too big like you said. Then in imovie i went under share and tried everyway that there was. I did install a free quicktime download which i know I already had, but I did it again and it helped. I was able to make a little .mov file and attach it to an email, but when I got up this morning and played the clip i sent to myself it said something that I did not recognize the file.................I think I may be ok just sending this little clip with an iweb page. My friend needed a clip made of a machine someone is selling and he needs to make a presentation on it today. He did next day air a DVD I made for him so hopefully he will get that on time. My friend who is a photographer and sent him a VHS of it originally and the client wanted a dvd. I burned him a DVD and then had to go back to work. My friend then said all it was was a continuous loup of some of the clips and they were all in black and white. Was a little concerned until I asked him if he hit "play" on his dvd player. I guess he never got out of dvd mode.
Oh, and I was trying to put it in my idisk shared file, but isn't that something that only someone with a mac can see? jillybean

  • Procedure and Format for emailing a short video clip from iMovie 08

    I use one of the new Panasonic HiDef AVCHD digital video cameras. iMovie 08 works great, no complaints there. From time to time I would like to email very short (5-20 second) video clips, rather than putting them up on iWeb, YouTube, etc.
    There are so many "sharing" options, and I haven't had much luck with emailing these short clips. Many of the recipients are Windows users, so I'm not sure QuickTime is the answer. What is the best way to email short video clips from iMovie 08?

    What is the best way to email short video clips from iMovie 08?
    Assuming you and your recipients' mail clients all allow attachments up to 10 MBs, then a 20-second clip can have a combined data rate of up to 500 KB/s (4.0Mbit/s). This means you can use any share/export compressions format option available to you from within iMovie '08. Therefore, the real question becomes, what compression formats can your recipients play. Have you tried asking them to see if there is a single compression format that everyone can play? If no QT compression format is compatible everyone, then you will likely have to perform a secondary conversion to one that will be compatible. H.264/AAC would provide the smallest files for a given level of quality but require QT 7 (or similar multi-media player). MPEG4/AAC would probably be the most compatible format you can export directly from within iMovie '08. (Would have recommended Sorenson 3/IMA but data rate limitation appears to be ignored.) MPEG-1 files can probably be played by everyone but have higher data rate requirements which may restrict files to SD dimensions and require additional software to create external to iMovie '08. DivX or WMV would probably make your Windows users happy but requires Mac users to have a compatible component for viewing in the QT Player.
    Try the "Export using QuickTime" Share menu option ("Movie to MPEG-4") settings:
    Video
    MP4 File Type
    MPEG-4 Improved Compressor
    Data rate in the range from 1,000 (640x480) to 3800 (near HD dimensions)
    Current (or user specified) dimensions
    Current Frame Rate
    Key Frame every 24 frames
    Audio:
    AAC-LC Music
    Mono
    64 Kbps Data Rate
    44.1 KHz Sampling Rate

  • How to compress a short video clip to e-mail

    Trying to figure out how to compress a short video clip to e-mail. Not sure how to do this thanks

    Sarah,
    When you export/share your video you have a choice of formats.
    Windows Media is a good option and you can choose a preset. Some of the options are DSL/Cable, Dialup, and others.
    Steve's book has a nice section on Sharing Options, and he has a very nice article posted at Muvipix.com as well.

  • Can I invert a short video clip so that it is upright?

    I need to turn a short video clip upright to be part of a slide show. how can i edit this clip? Please respond. Thank you!!
    <Email Edited By Host>

    You would need to to that with QT Player 7 with QT Pro installed.  iMovie can rotate the movie also. 
    I've used QT Pro for a long time now and have found it to be invaluable in trimming and joining videos as well as rotating.
    You can search MacUpdate.com for "video editor" or "movie editor" to see what other editing options are available.

  • How do I get Quicktime to play a short video clip emailed to me?

    My daughter emailed me a video clip of our grandson and told me to use Quicktime to view it. I went to Apple Downloads and got the older version of Quicktime required by my Tiger OS. My daughter also has Mac OS 10.4.11. I downloaded the video clip from my daughter's email but it shows up in ITunes and will not play. I even tried opening my Quicktime version before opening the video file, but no go.

    It may be that the video is in Microsoft Media Player format:

  • Easy way to create DVDs from several hrs of short video clips frm digicams?

    Didn't know which group to post this to. It's a 'consumer' need but I need expert insights. I have several years of video clips in iPhoto, taken on consumer digicams and iPhone. I want an EASY way to get these strung together for burning to DVD primarily as my fail-safe backup since I don't want to trust hard-drive backups for this important family footage. I'd really like some kind of batch program or drag and drop so I can just select a bunch of files, either from the file system directly, or in iPhoto, doesn't matter to me, and shazam the program ideally knows how much can fit on a DVD, strings them together, and burns. I don't need transitions or any custom arrangement of the clips. I can know their chronology from file dates so that is close enough. I have Final Cut Express if that helps. I'm willing to spend up to $100 or so if necessary. I can also write shell scripts or Apple Script if that helps. Thanks!

    What you really want to be doing is backing up the your iPhoto Library file located in your Pictures folder in your .
    I recommend an external hard drive, but if you really want to use DVDs there are applications (like Toast) that can span across multiple DVDs.

  • Why do short video clips take forever to load?

    With apologies for coming to you good folks with an issue than any twit should already know how to solve . . .
    I was thrilled when your excellent instructions helped me load flash player successfully.  I was able to preview quite a few video clips to show my Fine Arts Survey class.  Then just yesterday everything slowed down to slower than a snail's pace.  Even the shortest video clips at youtube are taking forever.  Can you give me some leads on things to check?  Does something build up with every new video clip watched?  I do a huge amount of browsing (internet explorer) and searching (ixquick), but it is a necessary evil for engaging teens in a survey course. 
    I do see tiny pop-ups that ask if Adobe can save something on my computer.  Am I an idiot? 
    Any leads or links you may be able to share will be appreciated,
    jmw

    Since you mention Internet Explorer, I assume that you are on Windows.
    Do you sometimes clear your browser cache?  (Tools | Internet Options | tab General | Delete browsing history)
    Do you sometimes clear Flash Player local storage?  (Control Panel | Flash Player Settings Manager | tab Storage | Delete all)
    Does enable/disable Hardware Acceleration make any difference?  (See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337)
    Do you have the latest graphics drivers installed?  (See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765)
    Finally, is your Internet connection stable?

  • My pc, short video clips, h.264, AVCHD with Canon HG20, distorted video

    I have a Dell E520 with Windows XP 32 bit and 4GB DDR II SDRAM 800 MHz ( PC2-6400 ) , 925, 3.0, 2X2M, PentiumD Presler, D0 processor.
    I am attempting to make 3-5 minute beach volleyball videos for youtube, and the video is coming out distorted no matter what export settings I use.
    It appears that tons of frames are getting dropped, or the video has a bunch of lines and distortion in it.
    I have a Canon hg20, AVCHD.
    I have tried creating project types of AVCHD 1080i30 (60i) with and without Anamorphic, and I have tried a multitude of h.264 export settings.
    How much of a factor is my hardware in this problem, or is it more likely that my export settings are incorrect?

    That makes a lot of sense, and I will run the benchmark in the next couple of days, but I can guess that my pc is not at all what I need for video editing. The question then is: if the focus of my usage of Premiere Pro is for 3-5 minute videos, are the recommendations you make for a PC the same. In other words, are your recommendatins based on any computer using Pro, or spefici to producing large projects? Is there a difference or is the recommendation the same?
    I am aware you are anti-Dell, and I am not saying you are wrong, but they have a deal now on this computer: http://www.dell.com/us/en/home/desktops/studio-xps-8100/pd.aspx?refid=studio-xps-8100&s=dh s&cs=19&~oid=us~en~29~performance-desktops-02

    Blu-ray Disc (BD) Combo (Reads BD and Writes to DVD/CD)
    This pc is on sale right now for $1050, and includes a 20 inch monitor.
    Would this computer be suitable for Premiere Pro, and in the right price range.
    PS it would be nice to double up on the ram, but that costs about 600 extra.

  • Self-made video clip does not play completely on website

    I have a short video clip [1:22 minutes/40.6 MBs] taken using my Canon Sureshot camera and mounted on one of my webpages. It plays fully in iWeb's publishing site but after uploading it to my domain host's internet, the video only plays half way. The play icon moves but there is no advancement of the clip or sound.
    I contacted the domain host provider and they have not been too helpful other than to suggest uploading to YouTube in order to get a weblink. I would prefer the video clip on the page rather than a weblink.
    There is speculation my web space is full to capacity, but it has not been verified. If there is enough web space, what is the key factor I should know to have this video clip playback in its entirety once it has been uploaded to the internet. My FTP program indicates it has been uploaded successfully in the Directory, Media, Scripts and Hypertext files.
    I'm not a high-level techie, but still want to have videos on my website as I see on many others. It may mean upgrading for more web space. Before I do, I thought I would check it out with the support group to see if there is a solution to uploading successfully a video clip to play in its entirety.
    The webpage link is: http://thebigbenmemorialtrail.ca/New_Scouting_Team.html — the video is still mounted for the purpose of my seeking help.
    Many thanks, in advance.

    Thanks, Old Toad,
    I know what you are referencing. I just never go to that folder but that is where I do publish the site prior to uploading it onto the internet using the FTP.
    And, it is when I have published the updated pags to the the Local Folder, the video plays perfectly well.
    Soooo, it must be all about restricted bandwith that I am currently using with my domain web host ISP, which is a shared bandwidth. Economics affect me as a volunteer therefore cannot afford the higher speed which is not a shared bandwith.
    To add to my demise, I have issues with signing on to YouTube through my Google account. Try to sort that one out is impossible. Tried for hours but all to no avail to get signed in. So I can't upload my videos which is too bad for my website.
    Will chat further with my domain host and see what other options are available to me.

  • How do I add multiple video clips at once to timeline

    I would like to add several short video clips to the iMovie (ios) timeline all at once.  Is there a way to accomplish this or do we have to select everything one clip at a time?
    Thanks

    or... you can command click to select all the clips you want to apply the effect to, then double click the effect in the Effects browser. (PS - you can't simply drag and drop an effect on multiple clip selections, the effect will only be applied to the clip you drop it on -- but double clicking the effect will apply it to all selected clips at once.)

  • How do you add a video clip to a slide show?

    How do you add a video clip to a slide show using elements 12?

    You can import some very short video clips into Photoshop and make gifs.  I can import short (10 second or so) .mvi video clips I've taken with my point and shoot camera.
    Use File ->Import->Video Frames to Layers
    CS3 doesn't recognize .mvi files until you enter *.* in the box, hit load, then find the file you want.
    After the file has been loaded, go to Windows, and check Animation.
    After the Animation bar loads, go to the right side arrow, check Make Frames from Layers.
    Then Save for Web and Devices, and you've got your gif.
    I find it much easier to use the separate software.

  • Video clips in PDF created from FM12 file won't play in Reader 11 or Acrobat 9

    I have inserted several short video clips into a small manual created with FrameMaker 12 (all mp4 format). Book file is saved as a PDF. When I open the PDF in Acrobat 9 or Reader 11 and click on the icon for any of the videos, I see only a black box. When I open the same PDF in Reader 10, the clips all play just fine. What do I need to do to make these videos play in current versions of Reader. NOTE: I have Reader 10, Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, and FrameMaker 12 running on my computer.

    I have had this same problem myself with most Open Type fonts. It's very irritating, because it seems like most of the new fonts are being issued exclusively in Open Type.
    I have developed a work-around, which you can attempt at your own risk.
    Purchase the software FontCreator (I use FontCreator 5.6 Home Edition). It's not very expensive.
    Open the problem font in FontCreator, and save it with a different name. In the process of saving it, the font will be converted to a TrueType font. Install the new version of the font. In my experience, you can then successfully use the font in Pagemaker, and convert it to a pdf.
    This is not a perfect solution because there will be a *very* slight diminishment in the crispness of the lines of the font -- but this is only visible when the font is magnified to something like 6400% in Acrobat. It is not visible to the naked eye, or at least not to my naked eye.

  • Video Clips.  Embed them or link them for faster loading?

    Hello All,
    Which method is better for iWeb (making the website load faster): I need to show some short video clips on the site I'm building, so should I embed the clips or just have a link that will redirect you to the site the has the clips (a site like Vimeo.com). Or does that make any difference in the loading time>
    Thanks for your help.
    Mike

    I found the problem with the software. You can not use Acrobat Professional 7.0 with FrameMaker 8.0 or you will not be able to properly Distil the PDF and the video will only be an image of the first frame. You are not able to install the Distiller 8.0 add-on that comes with FrameMaker 8.0 with the Acrobat Professional 7.0 installed. The console error received when creating the PDF is:
    "Save as PDF failed to post-process the PDF file for Flash Data: errors were encountered in the PDF file.
    The PDF file should be intact and usable but may not reflow properly. Check that the destination PDF file is not in use or its permissions, then Save as PDF again. If the problem persists, please contact Adobe Technical Support."
    The fix is to remove Acrobat Professional 7.0 permanently and install the FrameMaker add-on or to upgrade to Professional 8.0
