Space problems when copy/paste clip

Import of an DV-Pal digitalized 59 min S8-film from a DV-cassette by Magic iMovie filled 11,77 GB of HD space. That's o.k.. But when trying to create a new iMovie project using copy and paste by already 6 clips of this film, together lasting ca 1:28 min, new project's need of HD-space exploded to more than 33 GB. The menu diplay for format choice only shows DV, no differentiation between PAL and NTSC. The new clipframes however indicate DV-Pal. I deleted iMovie preferences and reinstalled the program, but without a positiv result.

what catspaw (greetings to NZ, hi Bruce!!) told you is:
when you import 60min as one solid clip,
and when you now choose a 1min portion of that clip
and when you copy/paste that into another project. ..
=> iM doesn't move only a 1/60th of the original, but the full ~13GBs.. !!
the idea behind this is, that you are allowed to 'modify' that shorter clip in the other project.. e.g. you can 'lengthen' it with the trimmers..
you have two options:
forget copy/paste, but Export/Full Quality your selections only.. due to dv, this is a lossless workflow, you don't lose any quality..
or, on import:
tell iM in its prefs, to 'chop' imports automatically into smaller chunks, e.g. 5min.
it doesn't matter on editing or playback, if oyu have a solid clip or many single clips..
copy/Pasting now a selection results in a much smaller 'background' file..
hope, I could explain...

  • Disk space error when copying/pasting clips between iMHD projects

    Anyone know how to get around this problem? I have emptied all my trash, but continue to get a "not enough disk space" error message when I attempt to paste one copied iMHD clip to another iMHD project. How do I check my available disk space?
    I assume that it's my startup disk because I run iMHD off of a Lacie 250GB external HD... Any thoughts?

    When we Copy and Paste a clip between projects, iMovie HD duplicates the clip's entire source file to the project. That can be a very large file, so the "not enough disk space" error sometimes occurs when we don't expect it.
    One way to learn which disk a project is on is to Command-click (that's the Apple key) on the project name in the titlebar at the top of the project window. The path to the project will appear.
    In the Finder, select that disk and choose File > Get Info.
    If there appears to be sufficient disk space, please tell us the exact error message.
    Also make sure the disk is formatted correctly. iMovie requires the Mac OS Extended disk format. The disk format is reported in the same Get Info window.

  • Aspect Ratio Problems when Copying IMovie Clips

    I am a relatively new user of Imovie. I copied a series of clips from a second movie and pasted them onto the end of my first movie. I shot the video for both movies with a video camera set up for 16:9. Normally my movies display at a standard aspect ratio on my computer but are stretched to the proper 16:9 ratio when I play the movie or DVD on my TV. When I copied these movie clips from the second movie, they pasted as letterboxed clips onto the first movie. When I play the movie and corresponding DVD on my HDTV, I still have the letterboxed top and bottom bars on the clips that I pasted from the second movie into the first movie.
    I am looking for any suggestions on how to fix my movie to get a consistent aspect ratio throughout the movie and get rid of the letterboxing.
    Thanks for the help.
    Tom

    Thank you for your answer.
    Is there any way fix this or do I need to go all the way back and re-import the video from tape?
    Also, when you mention pillarboxing, that means to me the black borders on the right and left side. I am getting letterboxing on the top and bottom of the picture.
    Thanks,
    Tom

  • CR duplication when Copy/Pasting text from a JTextArea

    I have a typical scenario of having text in a JTextArea. When I select some of that text and try to paste it either to an external text editor or even in the same JTextArea, I am getting extra line spaces in the screen.
    For example, if I have the following text:
    <a id=1>
       <b/>
    </a>When I copy paste it, I get:
    <a id=1>
       <b/>
    </a>When I looked to see what characters were being used for the CR, I see "\r\n". This is the standard line.seperator for Windows OS which is fine. When I save this text to a file using the Java I/O libraries, it is fine (no extra lines). But when copy/pasting it prints extra lines.
    Has anyone had similar problems?

    Has anyone had similar problems? No. How are you doing the copy/paste? Did you write your own routines or are you using the default Actions. By default, when a Document is loaded it will convert the "\r\n" end of line string to "\n" and store the single character in the Document. When you use the getText(..) method the enod of line string will be expanded to "\r\n" on a Windows system, but this should not happen in a copy/paste operation. How do you add data to your text area?
    This section from the Swing tutorial on "Text Component Features" has a working example of using copy/paste:

  • Insert Edit when copy/pasting

    Hey everyone,
    I've been using FCP for years now, so I feel silly that I don't know the answer to this....
    I am copy/pasting clips from one sequence to another, but want to insert clips into the edit points, rather than overwriting. Is there any shortcut or trigger for this?

    Thanks!
    One more question...
    When cutting a clip is there a shortcut so that there's not a gap remaining?

  • Does iOS8.1.1 resolve problems with copy&past?

    since previous releases of iOS8 I'm facing problems with copy&paste of url's and data betwen application on iPad2 and 4s .
    does 8.1.1 solve those problems.

    You might want to follow this methodology to update ...
    Follow this procedure for a Troubleshooting Methodology ... basically reset to factory default condition -BUT- be sure to do the following methodically and also to follow the part with Apple Support!
    First you want to make sure you have several backups of your data and done with a couple of "different" sources. Be sure to understand what data is backed up and what is NOT on iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup. Use a variety of methods for backup ... you might check into Dropbox, in addition to your Apple options.
    Then turn off your desktop anti-virus software when using iTunes for this reset to factory default. After you do that reset, then leave your iPad in its factory default state and see how it operates then. If you encounter any problems in that factory default state, then take it to Apple Support, and let them know that you have just reset it to that state with iTunes and have not put any of your data back on and it is operating in this fashion (whatever the problem is) in that pristine state. Make sure you keep that trouble ticket number, because if it has to be escalated through Apple Support, you're going to find all communications tied in with that number. If the lower level help isn't able to help you, then escalate it to a higher level to examine the problem. Keep at it with that trouble ticket number until Apple Support arrives at a solution to that problem. Be methodical and keep at it.
    On the other hand, if everything is okay with the factory default condition, then restore your backup. Some people have discovered that the problem resides in the apps or something in the restored backup. If that's the case, then it's going to be trying and difficult to find out which developer's app is causing you the problem. And ... it's true ... that a developer not following Apple's instructions and guidelines for his app can CAUSE YOU TROUBLE. This kind of thing does happen from developers, especially when a new system upgrade comes out, because some developers ignore what Apple tells them about changes coming, and what they do BREAKS SOMETHING.
    This is a troubleshooting methodology that you are going through. See it through to the end.

  • Can't shown chinese text when copy & paste data from server to Outlook, Word & notepad, etc.( Office 2013)

    Can't shown chinese text when copy & paste data from server to Outlook, Word & notepad, etc.( Office 2013)

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you, when you copy & paste a data from server to Outlook, word, notepad, then you do not receive the Chinese text.
    For Outlook, please follow these steps: -
    Close and reopen Outlook in your western locale (or switch the windows system to your Western locale if you changed that),
    Manually change the message from Western to Chinese encoding, which you can do in all versions up to Outlook 2007.
    If you want to stay in your Chinese locale in Outlook 2007, then:
    After you hit reply, go to the Option tab > More Options.
    In the Encoding drop-down menu, select the Chinese encoding you are working in (Not the encoding used by the person who will receive the message)
    Note:
    To set the Chinese locale in all versions up to 2007 the controls are under.
    Tools > Options. In Outlook 2010 File tab > Options > Advanced > International options.
    Unicode (UTF-8)
    is a good setting for multilingual users.
    Check the
    Auto select 2007)/ Automatically select (2010) encoding box.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.

  • Problem in Copy Paste

    I have developed a RTF Text Editor using the RTFEditorKit provided by Java. The problem is that when I format a given text eg. I set the size of the text 11 and make it BOLD and Italic and Font color red - and then try and paste the text is loses its formatting.
    I tried overriding the copy paste functionality of RTFEditorKit to use the clip board for copy paste but that too didnt work. Can any one advice as to what could be the solution for the same ?

  • How do you keep strokes, etc, from changing when copying & pasting?

    I am sure there is a simple solution to this problem, but I cannot figure it out and could use some help.  I have a graphic in one InDesign document (ID CS4 - using Windows XP Pro) and when I try to copy and paste it into another ID doc, it completely changes the strokes and fills.  It usually does the opposite of what is in the graphic (this happens with every graphic I try this with).  So if I have a circle that is stroke only, when I copy and paste it, it comes in with no stroke and a fill.  I have to use these graphics between documents frequently and some of them are complicated, making it difficult to spend the time correcting this problem.  When I tried adding the graphic to a library, it did the same thing.  It also changed it when I moved one page to another document.  Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening and how to make it stop? 
    Thanks,
    GS

    Thanks for the reply.  While it wasn't the preferences, I did find a link on the link you included in your answer that led me to the solution.
    The problem was conflicting object styles.  The solution was to load the object style from the doc that included the graphic into the doc that I wanted to place the graphic in.  Then when I copy & paste, the graphic comes in perfectly.  The only problem is if there are other graphics in that doc, but now that I know there is an issue with object styles, I can pay attention to it as I design.
    I can always count on the forum for great answers!

  • Problems doing copy/paste from Flash to Illustrator

    This is a problem I've had since Flash 8: when doing a
    copy/paste from Flash to Illustrator (on Windows), there's extreme
    degradation of the artwork, sometimes to the extent that no actual
    art is even copied. All the curves seem to be approximated with
    straight line segments, but at some point it just seems to give up
    even trying, leaving an unidentifiable blob for most of the object.
    As I said, sometimes it doesn't even copy anything at all -- all
    that shows up after pasting into Illustrator is an empty group.
    The weird thing is that this process worked fine in Flash MX
    2004. What could possibly have changed? I was sure with CS3 it
    would be fixed, but it wasn't. I haven't tried Illustrator CS4 yet,
    but copying from Flash CS4 to Illustrator CS3 produces the same
    problem.
    I've seen a few other reports of this problem in other
    forums, but I've encountered it on every install of Flash and
    Illustrator I've tried (admittedly, all Windows machines, but three
    or four different ones, both XP or Vista). Can anyone here confirm
    that this problem exists or doesn't exist on their computer? To
    test it, create a piece of art with plenty of curves and several
    colors in Flash, then copy and paste it into an illustrator
    document.
    If this problem is as widespread as my experience seems to
    indicate it is, why hasn't it been fixed in two major revisions of
    the software? Is Adobe even aware of it? If not, how can I let them
    know? I'm getting majorly sick of having to deal with it.
    Illustrator used to be a much larger part of my animation process,
    but now I can't use it how I really want to because of the bad copy
    and paste functionality.
    -David

    Hi,
    The integration between Flash CS3 and Illustrator means you
    can copy objects from Illustrator to Flash and i think if you copy
    from Flash to illustrator or Photoshop, you would not get a good
    results.
    You can solve your problem by exporting your Flash work as
    .AI.
    Your idea about the ability to copy from Flash to Illustrator
    is a good idea although Illustrator can not read some of the Flash
    imported information correctly. But it is still a good enahcement
    idea. There is a link where you can add suggestions but I do not
    remember it and I am replying using mobile, so my browsing
    capabilities is limited.
    I will try to post the link here when I got to my back normal
    connection
    Thanks alot!!

  • JTable: getColumnClass() causes instability when copy-paste

    Hi,
    I implemented copy-paste feature in MyJTable() class
    public class MyJTable extends JTable {
         public static final long serialVersionUID = 0L;
         public MyJTable(){
              super();
         public boolean editCellAt(int row, int col)
              setValueAt(new String(""), row, col);
              return super.editCellAt(row, col);
    }The copy-paste feature I downloaded from here: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javatips/jw-javatip77.html
    However when I try to implement MyJTableModel like this:
    public class MyTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {
         public static final long serialVersionUID = 0L;
         private Vector ColumnNames                = new Vector();
         private Vector<Vector> Data               = new Vector<Vector>();
         public MyTableModel(Vector<Vector> Data, Vector Col)
              this.ColumnNames = Col;
              this.Data = Data;
         public int getColumnCount()
              return ColumnNames.size();
         public int getRowCount()
              return Data.size();
         public Object getValueAt(int row, int col)
              return ((Vector)Data.elementAt(row)).elementAt(col);
         public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col)
              if (col < 2)
                   return false;
              else
                   return true;
         public void setValueAt(Object val, int row, int col)
              ((Vector)Data.elementAt(row)).setElementAt(val, col);
              fireTableCellUpdated(row, col);
         public Class getColumnClass(int col)
              return getValueAt(0, col).getClass();
              //return super.getColumnClass(col);
    }I noticed that copy paste causes instabilities. It behaves in a very strange way. In general it does not work. The problem is when in getColumnClass(int) I return getValueAt(0, col).getClass(). If I return super.getColumnClass(col) copy paste is working but the TableModel is primitive (no checkboxes, no Dates, etc).
    The only workaround is to apply correct column rendering for specific columns like this:
                   public Class getColumnClass(int column){
                        if (column == 9)
                             return (getValueAt(0, column).getClass());
                        else
                             return super.getColumnClass(column);
                   }     Any ideas why copy-paste causes this behavior?

    From the JComponent class check out getActionForKeyStroke(...);

  • Copy-pasting clips versus export to full DV

    Folks,
    With the export to full quality DV option, all the selected clips are combined to form a single clip. Is there any kind of compression done when this option is selected?
    One obvious advantage of the export option (versus copy-paste) is that all edits (audio and video) are retained
    Thanks

    With the export to full quality DV option...
    Is there any kind of compression done when this option
    is selected?
    There's no compression. The Full Quality export is the same format as the project video itself.
    One obvious advantage of the export option (versus
    copy-paste) is that all edits (audio and video) are
    retained...
    With exporting, edits are "frozen" in place, so yes I suppose one could say they are retained.
    But Copy/Paste retains the clips as clips AND the clips can be restored to their original condition. All the non-destructive features of the Copied clips are retained when Pasted into another project.

    It's the PDF.
    Usually, you can copy text out of a PDF, but there is no guarantee *at all*. Older software used to take shortcuts to subset fonts: first character it encountered got coded as #1, the next as #2, etc. etc. If you do a search & replace of each of the nonsense characters, you'll slowly see the original text appearing (thst's not as simple as it sounds, though).
    A similar "problem" is that sometimes spaces don't get copied (there is no need for a "Space Character" in a PDF), and that you cannot copy contiguous lines of text as a single paragraph. All of it is because a PDF is not intended nor designed to be re-used after creation.
    If you really need this text and don't want to type it in, try to get hold of the original file.

  • Copy/Paste Clip between Sequences - Only one frame appears?

    Hi all. A strange thing has started happening in FCP 7...not always but frequently. When I have two sequences open, I go to the first sequence and copy a clip. I go to the second and paste the clip and it shows up as very thin (one frame). I can then drag the end of it to make it longer but why doesn't it just paste the same length that it was copied?
    Thanks for any help.
