Stupid question? Video Clip

I want to animate some text, but i only want one of the words
to animate while the rest of the words fade out. I know i can
convert the one word to a video clip and double click it and make
it do something that way, but how can i put that video clip into
the main scene? Is this the best way to do this?

"video clip"? I think you mean "Movie Clip symbol".
Place the text you want to fade out in it's own text field
(Static) and convert it to a symbol. Then
create a 2nd keyframe and adjust the opacity (Properties).
Apply a motion tween.
To place symbols on the stage - drag from the Library. You
can also animate this straight on the
flash stage.

Probably a stupid question about cropping a video..

OK, so I shot an interview with a black background and once I went to edit it, I noticed a red object in the far right corner. Is there a way I can add black over this object or crop it out? I know this is a stupid question, but I'm new to video and editing in general so I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

There are several ways to accomplish what you want.
KGCW has talked about the Crop Effect.
Depending on exactly where the object is, and whether the camera was locked down, it might be possible to duplicate your Clip, place it above your initial Clip, then offset it a bit (Motion>Position), with the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position, and then apply the Garbage Matte to that offset duplicate, effectively Cropping out everything, but a small "patch" from the existing background. Note: if the edges of that Garbage Matte are too hard for you, you could create a soft-edged Track Matte, and use that to hold out the rest of the offset duplicate.
Another method, and depending on where, and how large the offending item is, would be to go to the Fixed Effect>Motion, and use Motion>Scale to increase the size of the Clip (do not do too much Scale, or quality will suffer). You might also need to do a bit of Motion>Position, to get that red object behind the Video's Frame Size. This will effectively Crop the object.
Good luck,

I'm a new user and learning, I bought and installed Premiere Pro cs6. I got a nice video clip but has a baby cried in the background and very annoying. I have tried all of the sounds in Prem cs6 but didn't work. My question is, do I need to get a separate sound software download and install to be able to use it?

In the CS versions, there was some audio capability in PrPro but you needed to get a separate audio program for major work. Lessening a baby definitely qualifies as major work. That's lessening, i dont mean eliminating. Adobe's audio program is Audition. There are others "out there'. In the CC versions one just downloads Audution also.

Using You Tube video clips question:

After importing several clips from You Tube (of varying quality) to incorporate into an editing project, the clips look okay and play full screen, in the "source" window, but when I put them in the timeline and play them in the "program" window, they are thumbnail size. Why does this happen? I tried converting...but still no luck.

The short answer here is, don't. (Assuming that if it was yours in the first place, you'd have the original and not have to use the upload.)
And Bill, you should know better than to help someone violate copyright law.
yeah, i beg to differ on this. i have 100s of videos on youtube i did back when it first started before i saved my finished projects... (from 2005-2008 i would just record, edit, post, delete, because it was just random junk of me hanging out with friends, or just v-logging about stuff i needed to blow steam about) so one of these days i'll have to go through and download them and burn them for archives. Never say never

When I go to youtube and view a video clip it usually asks if i want to save the video I'm watching. Now all of a sudden it no longer asks the question. How do I get it back?

I believe that might be related to this:

Stupid Question :) I took some video on my iphone but I did not flip the phone horizontally - have I screwed up the sizing and it will never import into imovie to edit it?

Stupid Question I took some video on my iphone but I did not flip the phone horizontally - have I screwed up the sizing and it will never import into imovie to edit it?

You can do this using Quicktime Pro 7:
Open MOV file in QT Pro (QT 7.6.6)
Window -> Show Movie Properties
select "Video Track"
select "Visual Settings" from lower window
check "Preserve Aspect Ratio"
Click on appropriate rotation icon (MOV rotates!)
Click back on the open MOV in Player Window
FILE -> Save
You can also do this using TransformMovie, available here:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21859
Also, MPEG Streamclip can rotate video while maintaining the aspect ratio as well as the interlacing when converting to DV, which is what iMovie prefers as an input:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
There is also a plug-in for iMovie from GeeThree called rotate/scale that might do the job:

Stupid Question: Embedding FMS 3.5 videos in other pages...

Hi,
Stupid question, I am sure.    But anyway, I have my shiny new FMS 3.5 server.   There is the multi-rate example which provides a "Cut and Paste" object tag to embed the video....   e.g.
<object width='640' height='377' id='videoPlayer' name='videoPlayer' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' classid='clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000' ><param name='movie' value='swfs/videoPlayer.swf' /> <param name='quality' value='high' /> <param name='bgcolor' value='#000000' /> <param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /> <param name='flashvars' value= '&videoWidth=0&videoHeight=0&dsControl=manual&dsSensitivity=100&serverURL=dynamicStream.s mil&DS_Status=true&streamType=vod&autoStart=true&videoWidth=0&videoHeight=0&dsControl=manu al&dsSensitivity=100&serverURL=dynamicStream.smil&DS_Status=true&streamType=vod&autoStart= true'/><embed src='swfs/videoPlayer.swf' width='640' height='377' id='videoPlayer' quality='high' bgcolor='#000000' name='videoPlayer' allowfullscreen='true' pluginspage='http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer'   flashvars='&videoWidth=0&videoHeight=0&dsControl=manual&dsSensitivity=100&serverURL=dynam icStream.smil&DS_Status=true&streamType=vod&autoStart=true&videoWidth=0&videoHeight=0&dsCo ntrol=manual&dsSensitivity=100&serverURL=dynamicStream.smil&DS_Status=true&streamType=vod& autoStart=true' type='application/x-shockwave-flash'> </embed></object>
( cough )
I paste this into a web page hosted on another ( ordinary, nonFMS ) server, I see the player show up, but after 5 seconds I get message that the player cannot connect, please click Play to try again.    Of course same work fine if the page is hosted out of webroot on the FMS server.   So I assume the "example" does not include absolute URL's so I tried hacking in full URL's for the swfs/videoPlayer.swf and the rtmp:/ URLs to no avail.   Which makes it a pretty poor "example" IMO.   I also noticed that the .smil file itself also includes a relative URL to the vod app, I modified that as well - the object tags still works only when hosted from the /webroot folder.
So what should this "example" really look like with absolute URL's to use in a real way?   Also is there some content protection mechanism which is preventing this from being embedded in other pages not hosted locally?
Thanks.

Having the same problem, with no answer in sight. Others have suggested, as you have, to use a third party player. But why should it be so difficult to do this with the videoPlayer.swf file that comes with FMS?
Here's the page: http://www.librarymedia.net/Flash3/Newcode.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.6/vod/mp4:Sports- BaseballvsDumont051010.mov
The page based on Adobe's sample works, but the formatting is awful:
http://www.librarymedia.net/Flash3/Recent.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.6/vod/mp4:Sports-B aseballvsDumont051010.mov
The FMS sample page says that the player has to be instantiated first. I have tried many different paths linking to the swfs/videoPlayer.swf file to no avail.I have also read these forums and scoured the internet.

Questions about editing video clips, images and text

I'm using the Expert mode and I'm having trouble with figuring out how to do certain things.
1. I'm superimposing a picture of a scoreboard on my video and then I superimpose a text object on top of that so I can update the scores throughout the video. I've placed on instance of the text object on my "Video 3" and now I want to change the score. So I created another instance on the same "Video 3" timeline. Now I want to close the gap between the two instances. I would expect to be able to click on the gap in between and delete it but nothing happens. I would also expect to be able to double click on the instance to access the specific start and end times that I see when I hover over it. But again nothing happens. So I've been magnifying the timeline so I can manually drag the two instances together. Is there an easier and more precise way to close the gap?
2. Is there an easier way to periodically change a text object without creating a bunch of instances? My "project assets" folder is getting filled up quickly because the score is constantly getting updated and I keep creating a new instance for each score change.
3. Is there a way to permanently combine two seperate video clips? I've used the "group" option but there is still a divider that reminds me that the two were seperate. I'd like to be able to combine the two and for it to look as if it was always just one large clip.
4. When I use the scissors to cut a section out of the middle of a clip, the blue marker that shows where I am currently in the video stays in place. So each time I cut out a section, I have to manually drag the blue marker over to the new beginning that was at the end of all the stuff I just cut. Is there a preference to have the blue marker stay with you when you edit instead of it suddenly being far ahead of you in the editing process?
Thanks!

Other than doing Duplicates of your Title, and editing those, as needed, the only other option would be to create the Titles in another program, such as Photoshop, then Save those as PSD's, to be Imported into PrE. The one downside of doing that, is that to edit those PSD "titles" is to Open them in Photoshop - the PrE Titler will not open them for the additional editing.
PrE does not have as much power to organize Assets, such as Titles, as does Premiere Pro, with both Bins and Folders (later versions). I always create a Bin, for my Titles, or even several Bins, for different types of Titles in the Project.
Maybe others will have a workflow, that I have not considered, so we both might learn something.
Good luck,
Hunt

Question about embedded video clips

Hello all,
I'm importing embedded video clips for the first time today
and have run into what I'm sure is commonly understood by everyone
else here. The video clip takes up as many frames as the video, but
if I add frames after that, the clip starts to loop.
What I want is for the clip to play once then remain
displayed with the last frame visible to the end of the scene
timeline. I'm guessing I need to place a script on the clip or
something similar to keep it from looping? Thank you for any
direction on this.
Best regards,
Scott

just place it in a Graphic symbol (which is an option in the
import wizard) or create a new graphic
symbol and drag the video icon from library to it - place
instance of Graphic symbol on stage -
select it and tell it to Play Once in Properties.

Please help me with this urgent viewing and editing question for a long video clip.

Hi, I have never used this software before and when I imported a 2 hours and 12 minute video clip of my sister's wedding into the system and added it as one sequence into the program it would only allow me to watch and edit the first 2 minutes.
Why is that and how can I rectify this so that I can watch and edit the whole clip?
Also, can such a long video clip be edited by trimming it and creating transitions where I see fit?
Thanks so much for your advice as I am feeling really stuck right now.

Avi video clip import question

Hi all, I am new to iMovie, seeking for help here. I use Vegas video (PC) to edit my home video for long, just bought a copy of iLife 06, it is impressive. I have many video clips in AVI format, when I import them in iMovie, does it actually convert the file to different format? If I capture video in iMovie, what video format would that be? The reason I am asking is because I still want to share the video clips in both Mac and PC platfrom. Thanks in advance!

Assuming all files are in the DV codec, iMovie will not "convert" a clip since that clip is in the DV codec. When iMovie captures, it will capture create a QT file in the DV codec (while Vegas captures an AVI file in the DV codec). Vegas will recognize a QT DV clip just as iMovie recognizes an AVI file DV clip. Beyond that, if you create a .mov file within iMovie and want to play that on a PC, the PC will need the QT player (which is free) in order to veiw the movie.

IMovie HD Video clip question.

Hi Again,
I have nottest in iMovie HD 5 after I caputer my home movie to my ext. firewire hard drive. When I click to look at it theres a pop box that tells me that it is up dateing clip or some along thoughs lines. It only seem to do it that first time and then when I caputer new clips it will not do it on them. Is there something rong with my computer or iMovie HD.Thanks.

Ok this is very crazy to me. I did a test with my camcorder why can I captuer video to my computer with my Canon min DV. I can then see my clip right then to play it back and it dose not say its updateing the file when I click on it. Also I can just click any were in iMovie hd v5 and it tells me it updating a file. Also when I captuer off my Director's Cut 2 video convertor box whitch I am having meny crazy probloms with but anyway. I am not aboul to click right on the clip with out it saying its udateing the file. I would like to know what is up with this and why dose it only do this to the first video clip I captuer but not to all the other clips that come after its crazy. Am I the only one who seems to have this crazy junk happening. I have done alot of checking on this newsgroup with know luck. Just to see if I could find someone that is having truble like this its crazy. Am I right in think that my video convertor box takes the video from my VCR and then from there makes it then from analog to DV or Digatal or something like that so that it can be put in to my computer. I am wondering why I have to update the VCR captuer movie clip to play them back though its only one I have to do this to. But I do not have to with my DV cam what gives.

Button AS for video clip

Hello folks,
I know my question is probably stupid and very basic. But I
am new in Flash, so there is obviously lot of confusion. I would
like to post few video clips on my website (there are in Quick Time
format right now) What is the best way to do it. Should I import it
to Flash's library and play the clip from there? If so, do I need
to convert it to .fla first, or can I leave it in QT? And what is
the Action Script for this. When someone clicks on button called
for example: SEE VIDEO. What AS do I have to put into that button
for this video to play.
Thank you very much for any input.
Janek

Yes, I am an extremely new user, am having a similar problem
that I have a video file that I would like to play, but first I
have a jpg file that I would like to act as a button to start the
video. I have documentation (from Macromedia Training from the
Source) that tells me I can add AS to the hit portion of the button
(as I used to in flash 5) but I can't seem to get this to work. The
script assist tells me I can't add AS to the button.
Thanks for any help you can give me. suenashed
