Splitting One Large clip in Event Library

I recently had some 8mm film transferred to digital. I found some Christmas' that were taken when I was a kid. This segment was on 11 minute stream of multiple Christmas' together. When I imported the AVI that I received back, it naturally was on long clip. What I would like to do is split these into multiple events (I think I can remember when each year was, getting old you know )
Everything I have read seems that it should work, like:
Place the scan to where I want to split, then press Command-Shift-S, but all I get is a beep.
I select the clip I want to make into one event and tried copying, but no paste. Tried moving, but it wants to move the whole clip.
I tried selecting the next year and do the File | Split Event before Selected Clip, but it is grayed out.
I'm at a loss for what to do, so if anyone knows the "tricks" to do this, please help.

I use MPEG Streamclip for this, and it is free. QuickTime Pro also works great.
Instructions for MPEG Streamclip
1) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free).
3) Start MPEG Streamclip
4) Drag your 11 minute clip into the MPEG Streamclip window.
(If you don't know where it is, right-click on the clip in iMovie and select "Reveal in Finder"
5) If you want to split a long clip into smaller clips, you can make smaller clips by using MPEG Streamclip. 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 do steps 5 and 6 and repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
6) Use FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (or h.264 if you prefer)
7) Optional: 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.
8) Save the resulting file in a place where you can find it, like your Desktop.
9) Open iMovie.
10) In iMovie, choose FILE/IMPORT/Movies... and choose the file you saved in steps 5,6,7. You can import several clips at once if you want.
11) iMovie will generate thumbnails and you can edit.

Split a filmstrip/clip in event library.

I have imported an old mini dv-8 movie in imovie and somehow it has become one long filmstrip/clip in the event library.
I would like to split and divide this clip in and over more events. Does anyone knows how?
(I know that it is not possible with imovie08, because a filmstrip/clip can only be split in the project library)

I would like to split and divide this clip in and over more events. Does anyone knows how?
Applications like QT Pro ($30) and MPEG Streamclip (free) can do this easily. If your captured file is not currently being used in any project, you can open it in one of these applications at the Finder level and proceed to divide the file into the segment blocks you want or trim out what you wish to keep and discard anything left over. The strategy is the same for both utilities.
1) Open the file in either application.
2) Scrub the playhead to the approximate frame you wish to use as the beginning of your segment.
3) Use the left/right arrow keys to select that exact frame you want.
4) Press the "I" key to set your "in point."
5) Scrub the playhead to the approximate frame you wish to use as the last frame in your segment.
6) Again use the left/right arrow keys to select the exact frame you want.
7) Press the "O" key to set your "out point."
8) Use the "Save As..." file menu option to save your segment to your had drive as an appropriately named file.
9) Repeat steps 2 thru 8 until done.
10) Discard the original file/Event folder if no longer needed and import your file segments to an appropriate new or pre-existing Event folder.

How To Automatically Split A Large Clip Into Smaller Clips

I captured several one-hour tapes with an older version of Windows Movie Maker.
They are AVI files.
I'd like to work with the footage when I purchase Premiere Pro CS5.5 or CS6.
Each tape is composed of several starts and stops of the record button, so lots of individual clips inside of the hour-long captured footage.
In Premiere Pro CS 5.5, is there a way to automatically split a large clip into smaller clips at the points where I started and stopped the camera?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Flyingfish,
I cannot tell you that.
Historically, with "consumer" CODEC's, PrE often gets native support, before PrPro.
However, with "professional" CODEC's, such as RED, PrPro has those, but PrE will likely never get them. There are some pro CODEC's, that PrPro does have, that PrE is missing, but I do not have a list.
Good luck, and wish that I had more info for you.

How to take clips from Event Library and put in separate event folder?

(I looked in iMovie Help menu but found no help.)
I recently did a file transfer from my Sanyo HD2000A which was a large accumulation of clips taken since last spring 2010. This was my first upload.
Now I have a lot of clips organized by date by iMovie '11. There are various categories of these clips, and one of them is +"Ducks in my back yard swimming pool."+ Another is a huge number of clips taken over time of three baby sparrows in the nest outside my window. It is a progression of how they are fed by their parents and how they grow and leave.
My plan is to get them into their own folders, filed by time/recency, and then pick and choose from those two folders/categories during the making of a movie which includes them along with other little adventures.
Question: How can I separate all of the duck clips and the sparrow clips so that they are each in their own folder and not spread out in folders organized by days?
=L

Lorna, I think I understand better now what you are talking about.
So on any one clip, it will be ducks, or sparrows, but not both.
You can create a folder in the Event Library called Ducks and another folder called Sparrows. These must be in the Movies/iMovie Events folder on your internal drive, or they must be in the iMovie Events folder at the top level of an external drive.
Go through your current Event folders. Drag the duck clips to the duck folder. Drag the Sparrow clips to the Sparrow folder. I would do a MOVE, but if you have enough disk space, you could do this as a COPY until you are sure that all works as you intend.
The next time you open iMovie, it will generate thumbnails and cache for these new Duck and Sparrow events. The events will be placed in the Event Library in the month of the most recent clip, even though the clips may span several months.
If all goes well, you can delete the prior events. If there is footage still in them (that is not sparrows or ducks, for example), you could delete the thumbnails and cache folders and let iMovie regenerate thumbnails and cache after it opens.
Also, Tom's advice about not moving or renaming anything you have already used is very appropriate...
If you have already created Projects using this material, this will break the links in your projects. (Unless you did a COPY rather than a MOVE above and left both the old and new folders intact.)

One folder in the Event Library is empty! Why?

I recently uploaded many clips to iMovie '11. In the Event Library there are many folders. The problem is, one of those folders (selected in the screen shot) has no video clips in the corresponding Event Browser. +"The message in the Event Browser says: No video clips match the current selection. Choose a different option from the Show pop-up menu, below."+
What might I have done to cause that? I doubt that I actually selected all of the clips and deleted them!!

Hi Sundhar,
According to your description, you might want to check the existence of sub folder in a folder of a library using Client Object Model.
Please take the code demo below for a try, it will check whether there is sub folder in a given folder:
public static void createSubFolder(string siteUrl, string libName, string folderServerRelativeUrl)
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
List list = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(libName);
CamlQuery camlQuery = new CamlQuery();
camlQuery.ViewXml =
@"<View Scope='RecursiveAll'>
<Query>
<Where>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name='FSObjType' />
<Value Type='Integer'>1</Value>
</Eq>
</Where>
</Query>
</View>";
//camlQuery.FolderServerRelativeUrl = "/Lib1/folder1";
camlQuery.FolderServerRelativeUrl = folderServerRelativeUrl;
ListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(camlQuery);
clientContext.Load(items);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Console.WriteLine(items.Count);
if (0 == items.Count)
//create sub folder here

Deleting part of a clip in event library in imovie '11

Hi,
i'd like to delete parts of clips in the event library in imovie `11. So not in a movie/project, but in an event!
if i do it the way it worked with imovie 09 (rejecting and than "move to trash") imovie ´11 moves the whole clip to trash. even if only a part of it was marked as "rejected".
1. How should i keep my library small in terms of disk space, without deleting the parts of my clips i definitely will never ever use in a movie?
(i have lots of very big clips (e.g. from GoPro cameras) with each about 4 GB)
2. Why does the way i described above work with imovie 09, but seems not implemented in imovie ´11?
Thanks a lot for your help!

A couple of features might be of interest.
1) Select your clip. Then, in the top menu bar, select CLIP/Special Effect.../Flash and Hold Last Frame.
This will create a flashbulb effect, and then hold the last frame in the clip still. The flash effect is actually a Fade Through White transition, so you can edit it out if you don't like it.
As a hint, if the frame you want to freeze is not at the end of the clip, drag to create a selection so that there is a yellow border around a range of clips, the last frame of which you want to freeze. Then Edit/Split Clip. The frame you want to freeze is now at the end of the clip.
2) You might also want to try CLIP/INSTANT REPLAY/25%. You can highlight an action by replaying it in slow motion.

Weird date of clip in Event Library (2021, not 2007)

I just imported some footage from my DV video camera. Because there was some blank space at the beginning, and a snippet of previous stuff on the tape I used, it imported as 3 clips. Which is fine, because I just deleted the first and last clips. This is not my problem, but I mention it in the hopes that it might give you a clue to the solution to my REAL problem, which is...
In the Event Library (lower left-hand panel), instead of being listed with my other 2007 videos, it's listed as an item in the year 2021! Stranger still, when I click on the clip itself (either in the lower right-hand panel with the thumbnails, or its listing under the 2021 year in the lower left-hand panel), its date is listed correctly (as September 22, 2007) in the horizontal gray bar running across the top of the thumbnails. Hmmm! Somehow, iMovie has decided that this event took place in 2021, even though this particular clip in that event comes from 2007.
The date is set correctly in my DV camera. And I have imported other clips from this DV camera and they all showed up in the 2007 list. My MacBook Pro's date and time are set correctly.
I've tried to move the clip to the 2007 year, but it insists I merge it with another clip. How can I tell iMovie to change the date it thinks this thing is from? iMovie is supposed to be strong in finding video on my hard drive and making it organized and available to me in the Event Library... but how can it do this if it insists that video I shot and imported today was actually done 14 years in the future???
Message was edited by: James Weinrich1

I don't know what caused the problem, but here's how I solved it. Thanks, everyone, for your help.
I searched for 2021 using Sherlock. I found two files with the date in their names; one was the .dv clip itself, the other was the file for the thumbnails. I changed their names from 2021 to 2007.
I also found the text file entitled "iMovie Data" which was in the folder named with the movie clip's name. The 2021 date was in that file once and was presumably the link to the video files whose name I just changed. I changed that date from 2021 to 2007 and saved it.
I relaunched iMovie and the clip was in the 2007 area, where it should be.
I wasn't in the mood to experiment, so I don't know if it was necessary to change all 3 things. It probably was, for consistency at least.
Darn! I changed all those dates without checking what the lottery numbers were gonna be in 2021!! I guess I can't retire then after all...

Out of memory on hard drive but can't get rid of clips in Event Library

My hard drive has only 6gb left on it so I'm trying to free up space by deleting some of the clips in my Event Library. When I go to File - Move Rejected Clips to Trash, I get a message telling me there's not enough memory left to complete the operation. I have over 150 gb of material in the Event Library and most of the rest of the memory is used up in iPhoto. Also, previously, I tried to move a bunch of stuff to my external hard drive but had a horrible time recovering clips from it. Can you help?

Hi all... I had a very similar issue. I had a hard drive replaced by Apple on my iMac due to a total hard drive failure. I attempted to restore my last time machine back up through my time capsule but I get some type of sparse bundle package error. It appears that something is coming back from the back up as I only have about 180GB remaining space out of 1TB. Any advice? It appears that Apple had re-installed the latest version of Lion back to my hard drive. I'm completely distraught here as like Romantic Heretic, I have over a decade of information currently lost.
Any help with step by step directions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks

Movie Clips in Event Library not Recognized By Project Library

I downloaded Photos but when working on a project in iMovie 9 my iPhoto videos were not found. However if I revert to using iPhoto I regain my ability to move selected photos into my iMovie project so for now I will simply not use Photos. However I still have a problem. The movie clips in the projects in my Project Library don't find the clips in the Event Library in the iPhoto Videos folder. I see either: "This clip's media file is not currently available" or "Source clip is missing." Is there some way to refresh iMovie? Fortunately the projects shared to iTunes are still intact.

Many who post here use Preference Manager from DIgital Rebellion to trash preferences. It's reliable and the price is right – free.
I assume you've tried different events on different drives and the no-playback problem persists.
And just out of curiosity, can you play clips in a project timeline or if you open the clip in its own time line? And does the skimmer skim?

Orange line along bottom of clip in event library?

The last clip I imported has an orange line along the bottom of the clip in the event library. I can't locate anything in the help file or getting started pdf about what this is. Does anyone know?
This may be related to the fact that it is the only clip that has gray thumbnails -- they display OK when I'm skimming the clip, but after the cursor leaves the clip the thumbnails revert to gray again. This is the only clip this happens to.

An orange line at the bottom of a clip in the event window means that portion of the clip is being used in a project.

Script to split one large RTF into several renamed smaller files

Hi
I have some RTF files in the format:
1st January 2010
Para 1
Para 2
Para 3
Para 4
8th January 2010
Para 1
Para 2
Para 3
etc...
Essentially this is one long list of session notes.
I would like to split this large RTF file into smaller RTF files, one for each date, naming the file by the date at the top of each session (in the format 2010-01-01, 2010-01-08, etc) and removing the date from the content of the files, so that I just have the paragraphs.
Ideally the script would also be able to recognise date in different formats, e.g. 1st January 2010, 1st Jan 2010, etc.
Would it be possible to do this with applescript?
Thanks
Nick

Ah I was using 2007 to do the test as I have notes with dates going back to 2007.
When I ran the script on the following text:

Discerning Clips In Event Library that are Used in a Project

I am cutting my FCPX teeth on 10.1 after having used imovie for years. I am accustomed to imovie showing me which portions of a clip are being used in the timeline by having a small colored bar visible on that portion of a video clip in the Event Library. This is very useful for me and and cant figure out how to set that in the preferences.
Can anyone point me in a direction? Thanks very much!

Dragging Clips to Event Library

i am brand new to final cut pro x, and am trying to take my clip(s) from the timeline up to the event library. The problem is, it will not let me drag the clips out of the timeline. I can pull it off the main timeline, but cannot get it up 2the top left part of the screen.
i am using the razor by hitting "B," letting the clip play as i need it, pausing it with "space bar" and using "B" again to signal the end of the clip. Then hitting "A" to be able to pull it off the main line.
Once i do that i am able to drag it, but not off the bottom half of the screen where the film i am editing is currently running.
Any help is appreciated, and in lamen terms too please, like i mentioned, i am an infant to final cut pro & editing period.
Thanks!

You are not supposed to drag clips from the timeline to the event library. That's no the way the software works.
Import your footage into an event. Then you can select the portions you want, mark parts as "Favorites" or "Rejects", or use appropriate keywords to organize your content.
FCP X has great tools for organizing media, but you have to learn its ways.
There are many good tutorials online. Check them out.

How to copy/export a video clip from event library to external hard drive?

Can you help? Can you export a video clip from the iMovie Event library to a hard drive

You can "daisy chain" FireWire devices. Plug your IF into the Mbook, and plug your external disk into the IF (it has two ports...), or do it the other way around, whatever seems to work best.
The whole chain will be as fast as your slowest device, and I think the FPod is FW 400, so the disk will also operate at that speed. Many people work like this on their laptops, and it works fine. Better than USB.
Don't use USB for it. USB needs CPU and is in general less efficient in handling audio. Daisychaining FW-devices is the way to go.

Trying to split one large audio file into tracks

Hi;
Awhile ago I mistakenly imported a CD into iTunes, as one large audio file, containing all 10 tracks. Now I'd like to know how to split this file back into it's separate tracks, and re-import into iTunes.
Any thoughts?
TIA.

MP3 editor is a lossless editor for MP3 files.
-> Fission, will do lossles editing of AIFF, WAV, MP3, AAc and Apple Lossless.
You can do it yourself but the songs will be re-encoded (not lossless) but may not be a big deal.
On the song, right click - get info. Click the Options tab and set the Start-Stop times for the first song.
Then select the song, menu Advanced - Create AAC version {or whatever is selected in iTunes prefs -General - Importing}.
This will create a new copy of the song between the time markers. Select the new song, righ click - get info and update the song title.
Then on the original song, set Start-Stop times for the second song and menu Advanced - Create AAC version the for the 2nd song.
Do this for all the songs in the original file.
