Still images interspersed in video all with the original audio

I have what I think should be a very simple task. I have a 1 hour video of a school show. I want the soundtrack to remain intact. I simply want to take still images and replace the video images for certain chunks of the school show. The result should be a smooth original audio with the original video interrupted for 4-5 second periods with other images. For a bonus, it would be nice if the stills cross faded to the original video (without affecting the audio).
I have been trying to get the precision editor to let me do this and cannot get it to happen cleanly and reliably. I keep getting the audio duplicated or dropped audio. And if I try to add cross fades it is even worse. The help video on the precision editor does not make it clear to me how to do this.
In some PC programs, I know you can split the video independently of the audio and then delete the video clip and replace it with a still image. It does not look like iMovie is that intuitive.
If there is another way to do this, I would love to know about it.
Please help.
Thanks

In iMovie Preferences, make sure you have turned on Advanced Tools.
Drag the photo to the video frame where you want it and drop it. When a pop-up menu comes up, choose Cutaway.

Or the black model.
Then yes.
I am using my 5G iPod with video with that model.

Keep in mind that I am using it with the newer models of that model. (Mine had an iPod nano compatible sticker on it and came with a remote). I would imagine that it works fine with the older model of that one as well.
But yes, if you are talking about the iH5, it works :)

How do I revert to replaced audio files being saved with the project file, *not* with the original audio files?

In the latest release, when you send an audio clip to Audition, the newly created audio clip - which was previously saved in the same folder as the project file - is saved next to the original audio file.
Makes sense, but for reasons to boring to go into, it's a major headache for my workflow, because it means combing through folders to find the files, instead of having them all in once place.
So how to I turn this off and revert to those files being saved next to the project file?

You'll want to connect your phone to your computer and sync it in iTunes. You can read more about it here:

Multiple video tracks with the same audio track

How do I get DVDSP to play the same audio track on 3 different video tracks without having to repeat the audio on each of the 3 video trax?
Seems simple, but I can't find an easy way to do it.
Anybody got any ideas?

Yes they are all one continuous stream with the same GOP structure and everything. I had to export them as QT movies from FCP to get them all the same. I only exported the video though becuase the audio was going to be the same for all the tracks, & it was already done as AC3 through Compressor. Which brings up an interesting question; why does DVDSP convert the AC3 audio to .aiff which is a much larger format?
I'm trying to go back and look at the encoding log from DVDSP to see what error it gave.
It doesn't give the error in the log since I had shut down my computer last night, so I guess I'll have to try the build again and see what error it gives.
I'm looking at the parsing files and .m2v files that DVDSP did during the build, and it parsed all 3 angles, and finished the .m2v file of the medium shot, including 6 minutes past the point I told DVDSP to stop it. (When exporting the QT movie from FCP, I had forgotton and encoded the whole 2:30:00 show instead of the 1st 1/2 of 1:16:47:15, and then just adjusted the end of the clip in DVDSP).
The wide shot and Close up .m2v files, and the audio .aiff file were in the folder, but have nothing in them. The Video_TS folder and Audio_TS folder are also there, but with nothing in them, so whatever happened, seems to have happened in the medium shot encoding process.
I'm pretty much over this multi-angle thing, and I'm going to start working on an edited version of this today because all I have to do is make the cuts between cameras, since the audio is already mixed. However, if you have any other ideas, please let me know.

My I pad 3 constantly loses my wi fi signal. Does apple have any plans to correct this or should I return it. This was not an issue at all with the original one.

My new iPad 3 constantly loses the wi fi signal. Does Apple have any plans to correct this issue or should I return it. I had no problem with my original I pad. Both are in the exact same location in my house. I'm finding this very annoying and disappointing and am being forced to us my 4 g data plan

You may already have tried this, but before you completely give up, I'd check your home router software and also reset the router. I haven't seen this particular issue arise on these forums with new iPad devices, so perhaps it has to do with outdated software or configuration on the router not playing well with the new device....

How do i make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to put the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. Any help?

How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?

Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
See this iMovie Help topic:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.

Still no full retina support, even with the new CC Apps?

Hello over there!
I just bought the full CC abo, after trying PS and Indesign and becoming a fan of the new workflow, that is possible with the upcoming new CC Apps (Muse, Edge Tools...).
Now, after getting things right and downloading the needed Apps to my Macbook Pro (15" Retina) - I was very disappointed. The updated CC version of Dreamweaver and even some of the completely new Apps still have blurry text fields and buttons/layout graphics in it. Acrobat Pro XI is still a laggy, blurry fail on retina. The Mac OS Preview is sharp and scrolls a 600 pages PDF in seconds.
I mean... Srsly? This would be okay if the retina MBP came out last month. But it came last year. I'm really a big fan of the Adobe workflow and functionality, this is why I upgraded and decided to spend some hundreds of dollars for it ( and become friends with the new and scary rent model ). But the best program is a pain, when your eyes start being overly stressed after 20 minutes of work, especially when you're already looking at hundres of code lines (And I'm 21 years old, so I'm glad to still have those good working eyes..). I remember when I fell totally in love with Dreamweaver because it was able to handle the amount of information in a good stucturized and clearly visible way. But the only really sharp and "look like it fits all together"-Apps are PS, AI and ID as far as I tried for now.
Definitely affected are: DW, Muse, Edge Animate and Reflow (What? They are new!?)
So, thats my question: Are there any official statements that this will be fixed? Im confused because Adobe is just partying about the retina-compatibility updates last fall/winter in blogs and descriptions. The blurry App elements are not mentioned. I really want to know this, to be able to take back my contract and abo in time and get a refund. Would be sad, but the only option to me.
Thanks very much for reading and helping in advance. I really do not want to troll or sound agressive. The Adobe Suite is a very very big product and it does very good. But I'm simply disappointed about the handling of retina support, which is essential for users like me.
English is not my main language, I hope everything was clear.
Best regards,
D. Fuchs

Hi David,
thank you for your effort. If I remember correctly you said you’ll also hand through this issue/question to the tech guys. Does this mean I’ll get further information? Because this article you found is about 10 month old and I’d like to get this issue verified.
Furthermore, Acrobat (XI) is not even mentioned in that article and this is what brings the most problems.
I really don’t like to be a stressing customer, but I think a official answer to this issue is definitely possible und should be made.
I’ll attach a few hardcopy pictures of the issue. Don’t know if it helps, but it proofs.
Thanks again and best regards,
D. Fuchs

Increase still image cache when working only with images?

I've been having hundreds of out of memory issues when working on a still image project. Thought it was solved but it hasnt.
If im working totally with still images (Jpegs, Tiffs and PSD's) should I increase the Still Image cache from its default amount? I have scoured the internet trying to find out what the Still Image Cache is but cant find an explanation anywhere.
I increased it this morning and all is well so far.....
Might this solve my problem.

The Still image cache is the amount of RAM assigned to the playback of the stills. That's what that slider adds... it should help to make it larger when you are working with a lot of stills. They are cached to RAM instead of being read from disk...
From the manual:
Still Cache: This specifies the amount of RAM used to hold still images for real-time playback. The still cache that is allocated is a percentage of the excess RAM allocated to Final Cut Pro, so adjusting the Application slider also adjusts the amount of RAM available to the still cache. The more RAM allocated to the still cache, the more still frames can be played back in real time in the currently selected sequence. If another sequence is opened, the contents of the still cache are replaced with stills from the new sequence. If there is no excess RAM available, this slider is dimmed.

How can I take a still image from a video?

How can I take a still image from a video?

I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX. It's kinda hidden in the "share." Go File/Share/Add Destination. You want "Save Current Frame." After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

HT1473 Often times when I copy a CD into my library it breaks the CD into more than one Album, all with the same name but with only a few of the songs on each. This happens whenever the CD has music with more than one artists...like maybe duets.

Often times when I copy a CD into my library it will break my CD into multiple albums in my library, each with only a few songs.
Usually this is because there might be songs where the artists has other artists in the song.
How can I compile all of the different albums (all with the same name by the way) back into one as was the original disc?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
