Split 3 hour lecture video into a 3 part series...

Trying to figure out how can I maintain quality and send it to youtube? Would you split the video up more into maybe 6 parts? I dont wont to loose any quality and I need the full 3 hours of video because its lecture. I want to put it on youtube. What is the maximum size that i can upload to youtube? I have uploaded over a gig at one point. I recorded my video at 60i in MXP mode with my canon xa10.

AFAIK, you could load the full lecture. Check to ensure that your account permits videos longer than 15 minutes and upgrade if it doesn't. A three hour video file at FCP's default YT setting should weigh in at about 12 GB. Huge to be sure, but in theory it should still be OK. I would export from FCP and then use their uploader; definitely would not try to upload it through FCP.
As a practical matter, however, you might want to break it into parts – just to guard against the possibility that a connection glitch might occur after hours of uploading. That would be frustrating, so why tempt fate?

Please help, I am trying to split a HD mp4 video into two parts using Quicktime 10.2

Please help, I am trying to split a HD mp4 video into two parts using Quicktime 10.2, running Mountain Lion. I use trim then export but it doesn't give the movie option as a format. What would you suggest i do?

I'm not sure why you're using a FAT32 drive, but using ExFAT instead of FAT32 would be a better overall choice as it doesn't have the 4 Gig limit.

I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash. When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb. How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

Non-destructive editing is an important feature of iMovie HD 6.
iMovie preserves the entire copy of every clip you place into your movie in case you change your mind at a later stage.
So, if you have cut out one minute from a 45 minute clip, iMovie will have stored two complete copies of that clip. This is why is helps to set import as 3-5 minute clips rather than one huge chunk. As DV runs at 13GB per hour your project files can get very big.
One workaround is to complete the editing of a section of the movie, then export that to Quicktime: highlight the clip/s, choose Share-Quicktime, turn on Share selected clips only, and choose Full Quality from the pop-ip menu.
Once you have saved the stand-alone clip to your hard drive, you can re-import it into your project using the File/Import command, and delete the original long clip/s from the project.

What's the easiest way to embed a video into a specific part of an image map?

What's the easiest way to embed a video into a specific part of an image map?
Anybody help? Is there a way to do this in Dreamweaver?

One way would be to create your image map first. Then, use the CSS property position to position the div containing the video player relative to the image map or absolute to the page (depending on how your website layout is).
Then, use an event listener (javascript) to enable the div holding the video player to show only when the specific area on the image map is clicked.

Best workflow for splitting up a long video into series of short videos

I've got an hour worth of footage, a series of speakers, each who speak about 3 min. I want each speaker to be a separate video on youtube.
What's the fastest workflow for doing this?
Also, why does youtube export take so long in Final Cut Pro? It's excruciating.

Make four separate sequences and edit each speaker into a separate sequence.
Export to QuickTime Movie. Take that to Compressor and use the template there.

Splitting a single video into multiple sub-videos

I have CS4 Master Suite on MAC.
I want to take a single video and split it into consecutive chunks and store each chunk as a separate video file (Eventually to put in a database to allow web uses to select which chunk(s) they want to view.
I can do this "by hand" in Premiere but I want to eventually do this in a semi-automated way. (Visually decided where to place the splits, but automate the splitting, naming conventions etc.
Suggestions?
Is there a scripting language interface that could help me do some of this?
Thanks

I did not make clear, that of course I don't one to do this with ONE video, but with hundreds of hours of video in typically 20-30 second chunks. So perhaps there are good alternate suggestions to do what I want to do?
I want eventually to give the enduser the possibility to run a database query to select one or more of the final chunks/chapters for viewing

How can we split video into frames

in jmf, can we split video into frames, how can we do that?
thank you very much.

hi!
i'm also working on a system that requires the extraction of video frames.
is this the example you were refering? http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/FrameAccess.html
i tried the code and it always gives me a noProcessorException
i run it as: java FrameAccess c:\1.mpg
it says that "cannot find processor for c:\1.mpg"
is it because it doesn't support mpg files? then what media files can it accept?
or is it because my syntax for URL (c:\1.mpg) is wrong?

Split long video into small 15 second clips

Hi, I have a long video (7 minutes) I would like to upload to Instagram. Since they only takes 15 second clip, I would like to split my video into small clips. How can do it easily with iMovie?
Thanks,
fireman

First, you may not need to spit the event clips at all. You can select short bits of the long event clip and drag it into your project as you wish.
Having said that, there are good reasons to split event clips. For example, the 75 minute movie may contain many logical events that you wish to split out by date. In this case, iMovie 11 can do it, but I would not recommend it. It is a slow process and is prone to error.
I would recomment that you use a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared Five (google it).
To use MPEG Streamclip, drag your long clip into MPEG Streamclip.
Then, move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then, FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME (or FILE/EXPORT TO DV if it is DV). Then repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
(let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
When finished splitting your long clip, import into iMovie by using FILE/IMPORT...MOVIE

How do I split a long video into many short ones automatically

I want to split a 3.5 minute video into 210 small clips automatically. I certainly don't want to do that manually. is there a way to do this?

The Scene Detect in the media area is gone by Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1. But, you can right click the video's thumbnail in Organize/Media, select Run AutoAnalyzer which claims to be "detecting scenes". The latter is worth a try to see what it will do with your 3.5 min clip and its scenes.
Regarding the quality of your videos in Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 editing and export, we would need lots more information on that
a. properties of the source media (video and audio compression, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, file extension, pixel aspect ratio).
b. what project preset you are setting for the project so that the project preset matches the properties of the source media
c. types of edits
d. choice of export and export settings, customized or default settings used
e. computer or TV DVD or Blu-ray player.
Please review, supply the requested information, and then we will plan troubleshooting strategy. Also, we would need some idea of your computer environment - Windows or Mac 32 or 64 bit version...
Lots ot put together.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thank you.

I have iMovie 8.0.6 and an iPhone 4S. I took hours of videos on vacation (Australia and New Zealand) and want to make a movie. I've imported the first batch into iMovie and started the project. I just realized that I shot both horizontally and vertical

I have iMovie 8.0.6 and an iPhone 4S. I took hours of videos on vacation (Australia and New Zealand) and want to make a movie. I've imported the first batch into iMovie and started the project. I just realized that I shot both horizontally and vertically and when I preview (on full-screen) what I've combined, first it's wide-screen, then it's tall, narrow with wide black sides.
The film looks choppy, no flow, since it alternates horizontally and vertically.
I can import the vertical clips two ways: "Full-Original Size", or "Large 960x540." But the vertical clips have very short, fat people.
This didn't happen with my Flip HD; the movies are smooth and terrific. My heart is breaking.....please, how can I make the videos match?

Yes, I'd like to use all the video I shot, put it together with music, titles, etc. and make it consistant. when it goes from full screen to this vertical, narrow clip, it's very awkward.....and it's so narrow, it's hard to see what I'm looking at; my eyes don't make the adjustment quickly.

Splitting single video into multiple files - workflow improvements?

I regularly need to split a single video into multiple separate files that are used by other programs. I'm using Premiere Pro CS4 for a number of reasons including the ability to easily and accurately select a scene by individual frames, native audio and video effects/filters, and the ability to import and export various video types. I'm open to using other tools, but I haven't yet found one that is even close to Premiere Pro when it comes to accurately selecting split points.
I'm not a Premiere Pro expert. I have been doing this for about four months and have read many resources (books, forum posts, help guides) to refine the workflow I'm currently using. My question: does anyone know any improvements that might save me time/keystrokes.
Current workflow:
I've bound F8 to File > Export > Media
Import video file
Open in source monitor
Set In and Out points for scene in source monitor
Ctrl-drag from source monitor to Project Panel (creates a subclip)
Repeat 3 and 4 for all scenes/subclips
Select all subclips from Project Panel and drag to timeline
Set work area bar to first subclip in timeline by the following four keystrokes: Home, Alt-[, PageDown, Alt-]
Type F8 (File > Export > Media shortcut). Type output file name, click OK and the first subclip is put in the AME queue
For the remaining subclips, type: Alt-[, PageDown, Alt-], F8, output file name, OK and repeat until done
Any thoughts/ideas on workflow improvements?
Thank you!

Thank you Hunt.
For the sake of brevity, I didn't include all of the details about the various aspects of the projects.
Early on I was doing what you suggested and yes, it is a little quicker. I learned (painfully) a couple of months later that I sometimes have to go back and adjust the clips and this method (trim to timeline with no subclips) resulted in quite a bit of duplicate effort (to reobtain start/stop points). I've since learned that managing the "scenes" as subclips in topical bins allows me to go back and make adjustments, long after I've totally forgotten about the project content, without a lot of unnecessary reworking.

I want to break up my hour long video in iMovie 11 into smaller 15 minute segements to upload to youtube. How can i put EDITED VIDEO in new projects in iMovie?

I want to break up my hour long video in iMovie 11 into smaller 15 minute segements to upload to youtube. How can i put EDITED VIDEO in new projects in iMovie? (each 15 minute segment to iMovie)

In iMovie's Project Library view (where all your projects are listed), click on the name of your project (don't double-click to open it, just single click to highlight it).
From the Menu select File > Duplicate Project. A copy of your project will be placed in the Project Library. It will have the same name as the original, but with a number appended. You can rename it if desired - click on its name twice (not double-click) so that it is highlighted as light blue, then over-type it.
Delete from the duplicate all the clips and other media (for example, photos, music and so forth) that you don't want included in the first of your 15 minute segments. In other words, delete all but the first 15 minutes.
Continue creating duplicates of the original (and rename if necessary). Delete from each duplicate all the unrequired parts for each segment. So, for example, for the 2nd duplicate delete the first quarter (15 minutes) and the 3rd and 4th quarters.
You should end up with 4 duplicates with separate names, each containing the required segment. You will also have kept intact the original one hour movie, which you may wish to use independently of YouTube (maybe for burning a DVD or playback through a Media Player).
Note that duplicating the original project will not take up much extra space on your drive. Projects reference (link to) the associated Event (or Events) in the Event Library - they don't actually contain video as such. The project file also keeps track of titles, transitions, effects, music and so forth that you've added to the project.

Problems importing 2 hour video into IMOVIE

I'm having trouble importing a video into IMOVIE. The video I want to import is in Itunes. I tried to import it in IMOVIE. It showed a loading screen like it was going to import but then it finished and stopped after about 3 minutes and none of the video was imported. I have imported a movie this length before(2 hours) and it took about 2.5 hours to import. So obviously there is something wrong because importing a video should take longer than 3 minutes. Someone please help me as to what I need to do or what I am doing wrong.

Thanks Rick and Mylenium
Thanks that worked!
I thought that changing the frame rate in the composition settings would have worked.
Instead what I should have done is to go the the footage in the Project Panel then right-click on the footage > Interpret Footage > Main... then Conform to frame rate: Frame rate: 23.986607 (or whatever more accurate frame rate your footage actually is)
I used the more accurate frame rate reading from VLC which went to 5 decimal places. I got that info from the top menu in Tools > Codec Information
Its a shame AE doesn't pick up on the more accurate fps. It seems that all the videos from my iPhone 4 have slightly different frame rates and I guess I will have to interpret each clip properly.
I hear that the frame rate on the iPhone 4 is different depending on the lighting? I wonder why that would be the case?
Hope this helps anybody else that might face this problem.
Cheers

Almost 5 hours of video to burn to DVD

My wife returned from a family reunion with almost 5 hours of video. She wants to share the video with her 5 siblings. Their preferred media is DVD. Any ideas on how to get all of this video on multiple DVDs? My initial thought is to create shorter iMovie projects based on date or special events, and then burn as many as possible to each DVD as separate movies. But, if it's done that way, is there any way to link the DVDs? Any better ideas? Thanks. Haven't used iMovie or iDVD in years.

this family reunion HAS some 'sorting scheme' - day1, day2, day3 .... or speaches, performances, party … or mommy, daddy, grandchildren ... or ....
split the 5h into groups - even more than 5 disks, create 8, or 10, or a dozen! in use, you can slide-in the DVD 'kiddies' to show how lil' cousin performs her cute ballet-dance with her dog, or the DVD 'Uncle Sam' with his endless hand-made poem about family-values , ... (or whatever happened on that party).
5h is half a day! nobody watches this continously.
and on each DVD I would add a 8min supercut with the best scenes of these family-reunion.-
