Taking multiple shots and making one movie from them

I've searched the forums and can't find the answer....
I've got a video of a school musical that I'm editing. It was shot from several different angles. Is there a way for me to line the two videos up, and then pinpoint somehow which portions I want to use from each? I've tried to split the clips and insert others, but it's very difficult when it's in the middle of a song to get the precision correct.
any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

In iMovie 09, you can use the Cutaway feature. Make sure advanced tools are selected in iMovie Preferences. Drag the second clip on top of the main clip, select Cutaway, and the underlying sound track will continue. [See Tutorial Here|http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/imovie_09stone.html#cutaway%20pip]
Also see the section on the Precision Editor.
However, to use multiple cameras with timecodes and have them easily line up, you need Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro.

How do I prevent Adobe from taking my jpegs and making them pdf files? I have had to uninstall Adobe to access my photos as jpegs.

I would suggest you change your file associations so that jpgs open in a program other than Acrobat. Assuming you have a Windows machine, just go to the Start, and search for "file associations" ... it's part of the Control Panel.
Scroll down to the file type jpg, and set it to open with whatever graphic preview or editing program you have that you want to use as the default. From that point on, when you click on a jpg, it should not open Acrobat and instantly try to convert it to a pdf.

I did a backup from all my files saved in old external hd to time capsule. After that double checked and recover one file from TC to mac air and it worked just perfect. Today went through TC to recover another file and none of them were there?

It's good for that . . .
But also I don't keep all my stuff in my Mac.
But not for that.
This older and not day-by-day usage files I want to store in the time machine.
You can do that (see below), but how are you going to back them up? If your only copies are on the TC, when (not if) it fails, you risk losing your only copy of the data.
Is it possible to split TC in two partitions.
No, but there are some workarounds, including making a fixed-size disk image on it to "reserve" some space. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule.
But you still won't have backups of the stuff you put there.
You don't say what kind of Mac you have. If it's a desktop model, just keep the external HD connected to it, and let Time Machine back it up along with your internal HD.
However, it sounds like you may have a laptop, where that's not going to be convenient. In that case, your best bet might be to copy the external HD to a disk image on the TC as above, then keep the HD in a safe place.
To finish, when i enter the TC and go through the Time line how can I get a file from there and move it back to Mac hd.
Via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
You might also want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse the rest of the FAQ.

Is it possible to select multiple clips and create a sequence from each individually?

Is it possible to select multiple clips and create a sequence from each individually? If you select multiple clips and select "New Sequence from Clip" it puts all of the clips into one sequence. Is there an easy way to quickly perform this on multiple selected clips separately?

So now I *have* used Butler with PPro, and it works very well, here's an idea of how to do it:
Import folder of clips
Ensure first clip selected in bin and sorted by Media Type
Most of these commands need shortcuts assigning - mine listed below
Macro:
To create seq from selected clip:
‘New seq from clip’ (Shift+CMD+N)
To duplicate this seq:
‘Reveal Sequence in project’ (Shift+F) - not strictly necessary as it will already be selected
‘Window | Project’ (CMD+9)
‘Edit | Duplicate’ (Shift+CMD+/)
To rename the duplicate
‘Enter’
Various keystrokes to rename as required
‘Enter’ - to make name stick
‘Shift+Enter’ - to reselect that sequence
‘Esc’ - to get out of editing name
To change resolution of duplicate:
‘Sequence Settings’ (CMD+5)
‘Tab’ x 3 (to get to H Frame Size)
‘xxxx’ (to enter frame width)
‘Tab’ x 1 (to get to V Frame Size)
‘yyyy’ (to enter frame height
‘Enter’ x 2 as prompt will say previews will have to be deleted
To then find next clip ready for macro to run again:
‘Open in Timeline’ (Shift+CMD+O)
‘Match Frame’ (Shift+Spacebar)
‘Reveal in Project’ (Shift+CMD+F)
‘Window | Project’ (CMD+9)
‘Down Arrow’ - to select next clip
I tried it with Butler (manytricks.com - free trial, $20 to buy) and it worked a treat, takes about 3 secs per clip
AHK (for windows) is at autohotkeys.com and is free.
You could start making multiple macros - that would enable you to do grade / resize in middle of duplication - and then export etc, but I figure you can figure that out ;-)

Apple TV taking 25 hours to download a movie from purchase in iTuntes library. Worse, I only have 24 hours to watch?

Apple TV taking 25 hours to download a movie from purchase in iTuntes library. Worse, I only have 24 hours to watch? Anyone help why this is happening?

How fast is your internet - sounds as though it's 1Mbps or less?
For HD movies 6Mbps is needed for near instant playback.
AppleTv has to prebuffer much of the movie to allow uninterrupted playback if you have <6Mbps, how long this takes depends on the average connection speed - at 3.5 Mbps currently it takes around 40 mins for mine to buffer HD whereas Sd is near instant to play.
AppleTV2 has limited memory and using it to do other tyhings while a rental is prebuffering can flush any downloaded protion requiring you to start again from scratch - it can be better to rent in iTunes then once it's fully downloaded play on AppleTV under Computers>iTunes library>Rentals column.

I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

You can connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, that should copy it over to the Movies part of your library.
Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether the film studio allows it, you might also be able to re-download it on your Mac via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

If the film's description page in the store says that it has Portuguese subtitles then they should show as an option when playing it : iTunes: Language settings for video - Apple Support
If it doesn't show an option then the film might have been mis-labelled in the store, in which case try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Hello Den53,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430?viewlocale=en_US
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Best of luck,

Do as the picture suggests. Connect your iPad to iTunes using the supplied USB cable.

Multiple desktops and how do I remove them?

Thank you

Swipe up with 4 fingers, or press F3 (or fn+F3 depending on how you have your keyboard configured)
At the top of your screen should be all your desktops simply hover your mouse around the top left area of one of them (apart from the first one) and a X will appear which you can click to close it

Assuming you are using iTunes 11.1:
Connect your iPhone to your computer.
In iTunes towards the upper right of your screen you will see the name of your iPhone. Click on it (not the eject symbol.
This will open a series of windows with tabs.
Select the tab for photos.
Untick the ones you do not want on your iPhone and at the bottom right click on Apply.
They will be removed.

Tripod shots and making multiple motions from different times happen simultaneously?

Working with Premiere Pro CS4.
Sorry if I framed the question poorly in the title, but I don't know how to really make this description any more concise.
What I have:
Multiple shots of me riding my bike that I filmed by myself using a tripod. I am repeatedly trying certain tricks within each shot between when I press record and when I press stop. During these tricks I move in all sorts of directions while the environment stays the same.
What I would like to do with this:
I am hoping to learn what effect or method to use to make it so I can have a single short shot that has me in different areas of the frame at the same exact time. Sort of like having multiple clones of me not landing the trick instead of just creating subclips that play consecutively. Does this make sense? Sort of like animating a cartoon where you have a backdrop and can make multiple characters moving around or just one. I want to have a multiplicity effect.
Has anybody here done this before? Do I need to do it in After Effects perhaps? I am not adept with that program yet so hopefully I can accomplish it with Premiere. Knowing how to do this definitely seems useful for future applications as well as I think it would look pretty interesting in other contexts as well.
Thanks everybody!

If you want all of the images of you to appear in the exact same Frame, then Keying is the way. Since it sounds like you did not shoot against a green cyc, Rotoscoping will probably be needed. AE CS5 has a new Tool, the RotoBrush, that would be very useful.
Now, if what you want is a Frame, where you appear in different areas of that Frame, but with the original background, you are looking at PiP (Picture in Picture), and you can create a matrix of all sorts of configurations, like 2 x 2 with 4 separate Clips appearing in the same Frame. This example shows a single PiP:
This is easily done. I also show an orange "alignment grid," to help me Position, and Scale my additional Video Clip(s). At Export, that alignment grid would be turned off, or Deleted, so would not show in the output file. For PiP, you would place, say four Video Clips above each other, say Video Track 1 through Video Track 4. You would then use the fixed Effects>Motion>Position and Motion<Scale to get your four PiP's to show.
Good luck, and let us know exactly what you want,
Hunt
PS - Note: RotoBrush is in no way related to RoboDog...
