I want to shoot a movie on my iPhone and edit it on my iPad using the iMovie app. How can this be done via iTunes on my computer?

You can't drag video into the filesharing pane of iTunes, you can only transfer projects.
Videos need to come in via the photos tab of iTunes.
The easiest way to get videos from the iPhone to the iPad is via the project export import.
Projects can be exported from the iPhone, then imported to the iPad like this:
iPhone Send a project or trailer to iTunes
If the marquee screen isn’t showing, tap the My Projects button .
Scroll to center the project or trailer you want to share.
Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen, and then tap iTunes; tap OK when iMovie indicates that export is complete.
Connect your device to your computer, and then open iTunes on your computer.After a moment, your device appears in iTunes, below Devices on the left.
Select the device, and then click Apps at the top of the iTunes window.
Select iMovie in the Apps list below File Sharing. (You may need to scroll to see it.)
In the iMovie Documents pane, select the file you just shared, and then click the “Save to” button; save the file to your computer in a place where you can find it easily.You can also save the file by dragging it to the desired location on your computer.
Disconnect the device from your computer.
iPad Import a project or trailer from iTunes
Connect your device to your computer, and open iTunes on your computer.After a moment, your device appears in iTunes, below Devices on the left.
Select the device, and click Apps at the top of the iTunes window.
Select iMovie in the Apps list below File Sharing. (You may need to scroll to see it.)
Click Add below the iMovie Documents pane; in the window that appears, navigate to the file you want to add.
Select the file, and then click Open to copy the file to your device.The file appears in the iMovie Documents pane when copying is complete.
Open iMovie on your device; if the marquee screen isn’t showing, tap the My Projects button in the upper-left corner above the viewer.
Tap the Import button at the bottom of the screen, and then tap the name of the project you want to import.When the import is complete, the project opens and can be edited like any other project.

I have a sequence shot on the 550d/rebel T2i, I converted it to prores 422 and edited in fcp. What is the best export that i can do to preserve quality and prevent pixelation.

i have a sequence shot on the 550d/rebel T2i, I converted it to prores 422 in MPEG Streamclip and edited in fcp. What is the best export that i can do to preserve quality and prevent pixelation. Rite now, i have been just clicking on the export to quicktime function, but the quality of the footage is completely reduced and colours look desaturated and there is pixellation compared to the original camera footage. Also is there anyway i can render and export the sequence using the original footage (like an online edit or something). Also is there anyway to upgrade the final quality. I have Compressor, Dvd Studio pro, Motion, Color and Cinema tools, i dnt know if they are of any use to me and have no idea how to use hem or what they are for also.

>What is the best export that i can do to preserve quality and prevent pixelation
The best way to export is entirely dependent on what you plan to do with the exported video. For example, if you plan to go to DVD, the export process is different than if you plan for web delivery or for iPhone viewing. Compressor has presets for most final delivery formats ... start with those.
>is there anyway i can render and export the sequence using the original footage
Yes. In FCP, go to File-Export->QuickTime Movie. Check the box to make the movie Self-Contained and use Current Settings. Do NOT "Recompress All Frames." The resulting self-contained movie will play on any Mac that has the needed audio and video codecs installed.
>is there anyway to upgrade the final quality
No and maybe. While you technically cannot improve quality over the original, you can possibly 'enhance' the aesthetic quality of the video using various filters in FCP or Color.

Does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

Several ways to get similar results. Image > Adjustments > Posturize with low values similar to what you'd use n Cutout. This is the most flexible way I can think of as you keep the image in RGB mode with layers intact. A more radical approach would be to reduce bit depth using Indexed Colour. You'll need to experiment with settings, try changing Forced to Primaries, and Matte to Foreground Color. There's no going back from this route, although you can change the mode back to RGB to re-enable layers, adjustment layers etc.
A nice thing about the Filter gallery filters is that you can change the layer to a Smart object with all the control that gives you.
Now if only this forum could filter out bizarre content.

Can an InCopy editor add, remove and edit a text frame placed inside the main story text frame?

I think I already know the answer to this which is - no. I'll explain why I am asking the question in a second, but the reason I think the simple answer is no is because - text frames are controlled by a designer in the layout file, an editor using incopy can only edit the text and images placed inside text frames, and so cannot resize them, add or delete them.
Ok, so the reason I have asked this.
Is there a way around this so that editors in incopy can edit certain types of text frame that are contained within the main text frame? I'm using these text frames to contain specific paragraph styles, giving them a boxed look and also with an anchored icon in the top left of the text frame depending on the type of paragraph it is. See screenshot as an example of a green text frame that I am using to contain paragraphs of type "tip".
If it is not possible for editors in incopy to add, edit or resize these text frames (green tip frame in the example above), then how else can I style these paragraphs to give the same visual appearance, but without the use of wrapping them in a text frame?
One (not so good) way around this is for the designer to add the text frames in the layout file after he gets the content back from the editor, then moving the "tip" paragraphs into these newly created text frames. However when the editor updates the content in incopy and gets these new text frames in their copy, they can not then delete them if they wish to, or if they add or reduce content inside of these green text frames then the frames dont grow to fit their edited content. So I dont think its a solution for the designer to control the adding, removing and resizing of these frames.
UPDATE: I have just discovered that once a text frame has been placed into the document by the designer and the editor updates their copy in incopy- they can then use the "Position Tool" to select that text frame - allowing them to resize it, or delete it! Fantastic. But would the editor be able to add these frames in themselves to begin with? Maybe have a document containing all of the objects available to them, copy and paste one of them into the main document and edit its content? Does anyone have any advice on how to go about this? Essentially I would like the editor to control the insertion, editing and removal of these inline text frames.

True. But when all I am trying to achieve is a border around a paragraph, use of a table seems overkill to me. But if thats the only solution I have so far then I will have to go down that route.
It would be useful to have an object libraries panel in InCopy so that editors can drag across predefined text frames into their doc via InCopy, but I cant see that option in InCopy. is there one? I have also thought about exporting the frames as seperate InDesign Snippets and saving them to an objects folder, then when an editor needs to insert one into their doc they simply use File > Place > "Choose required text frame snippet". However I have found that InCopy can't place InDesign snippets so that theory was a failure. Is there another format I could use to save the objects and bring them into InCopy? List below shows my findings so far for trying to save/export a text frame from InDesign and then import into InCopy:
InDesign Snippet (.idms) - can't import into InCopy
InDesign Document (.indd) - imports content as an image - only editable in InDesign
InDesign Template (.indt) - imports content as an image - only editable in InDesign
InDesign Library (.indl) - can't import into InCopy - no panel available in InCopy for object libraries (that I can see...)
InCopy Markup (.icml) - only imports the text, loses the text frame

Is there and ipad app that allows you to record and edit audio, but can record in the background? This would be to record voiceover auditions/podcasts while reading a script

Hi wondering if anyone might be able to help me out. I am an audio engineer and my wife is a voiceover artist. We just got the ipad thinking she could record her voiceover auditions on the go, but we can't for the life of us figure out how to record audio while reading a script off of her email.
Looking for an app that:
Either can record audio while in the background (garageband cannot)
OR Import text (copy paste I guess?) to read while recording
The app needs to be able to edit audio and export or email out an MP3 - by edit audio I mean trim, fades, and move around sections.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to do this? I have been looking around the web for answers for hours and can't find any. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi- I've done a lot of research in this area and actually am just finishing a book on this subject which will soon be in the iBookstore.
The best app is TwistedWave. It allows easy editing and recording, and also allows you record while you are in another app (such as a script your agent sent in your email)
I recommend MiC by Apogee as your microphone, available at the Apple store.
My book which goes in depth in how to get the best sound as well as how to edit is called:
iVoiceover
Super. Simple. Recording.
I'll post here when it's live in the iBookstore!

Open and Edit Rules built with CalcManager in the classic mode.

Hi guys,
I'd like to confirm if it's possible to convert all rules in Calc Manager to a .rle (as it is in the Classic application). As far as I know, it's not possible, but I'd like to double check.
If it's not the case, I belive I have to build them again... Is it correct? :(
Thank you, guys!

Run Aperture and iPhoto on an external drive and edit from laptop?

Can I run iphoto and Aperture on an external hard drive, like a file server? Can I store pics on the external hard drive and edit using iphoto or aperture on the external hard drive from a laptop ? How do I make this work?
HELP! I'm maxed out!

Hello Laura,
what is it, that you want to achieve?
Move the Aperture Library to an external drive to free space on your laptop?
or do you want to share your Aperture Libray between your machines and access it in parallel on a network volume?
The option "1" is easy to achieve, the option "2" is not supported by Aperture; Aperture (and iPhoto) are single User programs, see this:
Aperture: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library:http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3252
To move your library (or parts of your library) to an external drive you have two options:
move the complete libary using the finder to a local, external, MacOSX formatted drive,
or turn your library into a "referenced" library: relocate the master image files to the external drive, but keep the Library itself (much smaller now) on your laptop. This way you can browse your images and rate them, use them as screensaver, even if the external drive is not connected.
Regards
Léonie
P.S. the same (*** grano salis) holds for iPhoto; you can move the library, or your libraries, to an external drive using the Finder; you can make the iPhoto Library referenced, but referenced libraries are much better supported in Aperture, for Aperture has been designed in espacially to support huge, distributed libraries - in iPhoto I found it it safer to have several smaller libraries than to have one huge, referenced library - that was one of the reasons I moved from iPhoto to Aperture.

Importing and editing video from DSLRs onto iPad 2

Hi,
I'm reading that it's not possible to import video direct from a DSLR (Nikon D7000 or Olympus Pen, for example) onto the iPad 2, and edit, then export.
Is this the case?
I'd like to be able to work remotely, taking stills and video (with audio) that I can then edit on the iPad and upload.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers!

Help with template locked and editable regions

I have been using templates for years in a very simplified way, my programing skills are not great. Today I seem to have screwed up a template beyond my ability to fix it and possibly all 46 pages attached to it (have not uploaded any of these files though).
The body tag needs to be editable because of the preload images that are part of the tag. The next section needs to be editable for content which is different on all pages. The last part is a table with text navigation to each page which needs to be locked so I can change it from one place.
DW keeps inserting an extra body tag and putting an end body tag after the editable content region (before the locked table), depending on where I try to put the tags. Then it won't let me change areas of the content on individual pages and it's not displaying the bottom nav table (although it does show up in safari, but I know the code is wrong).
Basically what I would like to do is simply have the whole body region editable, except for the one table toward the bottom of each page. Can I do this with out having any content thrown off my pages? I really don't know what code to post at this point since it's all in various stages of "not-working", but the version I am using is DW8.
Here is a link to an online page which might help you see what I am talking about, this is from before I started trying to change the template:
http://www.janosklanyi.com/dresden.html
Thanks,
Kaylee

Hi, AZ,
Templates imply locked regions and editable regions...usually WITHIN the body, so having the entire body editable might be what is throwing things off.
It is possible to make attributes of tags editable, but I don't believe that is supported in DW8. You would make the body tag editable so that the id can be changed to match the page (#contactuspage, #homepage, etc.), and by doing that you can focus your CSS on each page. I use that technique to influence the navigation to highlight the page that I am on (of course, I also put ids on the nav links, viz. #contactus, #home, etc., and #contactus2, #home2, etc. for the footer links). All these you would style in the CSS file. I'm pretty sure you can't pass actual content that way yet, but you can define background images.
I see that you are doing that sort of thing in your pages.
While you are in the template, look at the code just before the <body> tag. There should be something that says


</head>
Copy the two commented lines and change the word "head" to "body" []. Then put the BeginEditable line just before the <body> tag and the EndEditable line just after it. That should leave your body tag open for editing in Code View. Remember, all you want editable here is the <body> tag, not the whole <body> of the document.
Be sure to add editable regions in the rest of the page, controlling them as you wish.
At any rate, have courage...once you have fixed your template, the other 46 pages will fall into line!
Understand that I am working in DWCS4, so I don't know how this is going to work in DW8. Hopefully, it will work fine.
(Have you considered upgrading to CS4? You may still be able to do that from DW8 at an upgrade price.)

Transfer and edit of VHS tapes

I am re-starting a delayed project I began several months ago, transfering and editing VHS tapes to DVD. The support from the forum was extraordinary, and I'm recreating what I learned to begin anew.
There is one item that I never was clear on, but would be key as I manage the initial transfer process:
Would it be overall more efficient to (1) transfer each VHS in its entirety, and then select/edit digitally clips that will find their way into a final file for DVD, or (2) go thru a painstaking process of choosing and transfering individual clips directly from the VHS player? Note that I'll probably wish to transfer the tapes in their entireity anyway for archival purposes.
I have upgraded to WD Caviar Black drives to reduce latencies, etc. but am not sure that working on large files will be efficient. Also, I'm currently using PE ver 4. Is there annything in later versions that would make an upgrade compelling?
Some real-world perspective would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Julian
PS: I'm discouraged to not be able to find a record of my prior communications with all the fine advice from the forum. Am I missing something?

The one drawback to the model 55 is it is one way from tape to computer
If that is the only direction you wish to use, you don't need the more $$ two way model
Do also plan ahead for offline storage... IF you think you will ever need the AVI files again
DV AVI is about 13gig per hour, and 1 or 2 Terrabyte USB drives are a good way to store many hours of files when you are done (if not edit, due to transfer speed)
Also... use that USB external to make a FULL backup of your boot drive
Hardware crashes or virus infections happen, so you should buy AND USE software to make a full backup of your hard drive to an external USB hard drive... plus, making step-by-step backups during a new install or major program addition makes it easy to go back a step if something doesn't work
This backup and then restore is, of course, only to the same computer with a new drive (or the same drive as long as you don't mind writing over everything) since doing a restore to a new computer won't work due to Windows and many programs having activation information that is keyed to your hardware (which is why Windows will force you to RE-Activate if you change very much hardware)
The product I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
Image runs off of a bootable CD via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to make the bootable CD) and it reads EVERYTHING on the drive, even the hidden registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may restore the image to a brand new drive in case of a crash, and not have to re-install anything
Please note that I own no part of Image, and I don't get a referral fee (that is just a plain web link) but I use the program and it has saved me a LOT of trouble when I had a hard drive die... and I was able to restore everything and not have to re-install or re-activate a single program, from Windows on up

Entering and editing descriptions in iPhoto

Are there any suggestions for entering and editing descriptions in iPhoto 11? The user interface is cumbersome if the description is longer than two lines. My workaround has been to upload to flickr and edit there so it syncs back to iPhoto

Thanks for your reply. Thats a workaround but about the same as what Im doing in flickr. At least with flickr if I do any edits they will sync back to the photo. The functionality of the description field in '11 is a serious step backward from what it was in the previous version. I submitted feedback a few months ago but was hoping someone here had good suggestions.
