Triming video

I need to trim sections of a video and save as a clip.
I am getting the hang of trimming the front end. Say I move the head to the place where I want the
new clip to begin. I seem to be able to get that far but I still have too much remaining I need to trend the back end so to speak? In other words I need to take a full section out How do I do that?
Thanks to all
Troy

Assuming you have QT pro it's a snip. Just set the in and out points by either dragging the sliders or by pressing i and o for relevant in and out and then select 'trim to selection' from the edit menu. Then either save the movie or export if you need to.
Cheers

  • What is the next step after editing or triming a video ? What type of file format to save and what to do after that ?

    what is the next step after editing or triming a video?
    what type of file format should be save and what to do after that?

    In the early days of digital video editing, an export render could take hours!  Not many applications are as hard on system resources as video editing, and rendering the final edit is probably the most system intense action of all.  
    Head on over to the Premiere Pro Hardware forum to see what sort of computer hardware the pros use for NLE (non linear editing), or to the PPBM5 site for a better look.

  • Which app is best for cutting or triming a video on my imac running 10.9.2?

    HI guys i need an app to cut some of my videos and keep the part i want to keep. i have loads of .mkv, .mp4, .wmv,  .avi  ,  .vob  video files in my imac. i want to cut /trim certain parts of those video files and keep them. any suggestion or name pls.

    There is no software that can read absolutely everything. You will need a converter first then: try MPEG Streamclip and/or Handbrake. I like the first one better as it has more quality export options, but the second works fine.

  • IPhone video H.264 will not play in iPhoto '11 Slideshow

    Hello,
            I use iPhoto to organize videos and .jpgs; I take videos both with a Sony camera and my iPhone. I often trim videos in iPhoto and then play them as part of a Event or Album, along with .jpgs, using the SlideShow feature before moving on to iMovie or Keynote. Recently I have encountered difficulties with iPhone H.264 videos, particularly in vertical format -- they simply won't play in the iPhoto simple SlideShow and lock it up (a simple X then ends the SlideShow and iPhoto is no longer locked). The vertical iPhone videos work in iMovie if I simply move them there. I have not detected any problems with the Sony videos, which are invariably horizontal. I am not experiencing any other iPhoto issues although my library is >125GB.
         Any Suggestions?
        Thanks for your thoughts.

    léonie,
         @#$^$%^ Computers!
         After I realized I could not determine the frame rate (to respond to your post), out of frustration I went back, restored the most troublesome video to original, closed iPhoto, re-opened iPhoto, re-trimed the troublesome video, and .... yep, you guessed it .... it worked fine. It had to be something in the trim process.
         I haven't taken time to check the others that were problematic, but I'm confident that was the problem.
         @#% how much of my time; how much of your time.....but, still far better than the years I spent watching a rotating hourglass.
         Thanks for your interest, your offer to help, and my best to you. (And, my apologies for failing to include the accent grave in your name previously.

  • How can I lock video clips to the timeline?

    Hello Apple discussion.
    I know that holding down the command key disable ripping when triming.
    But that doesn't work when deleting clips. It would be useful to lock videoclips to the timeline, so they keep their position.
    Lock audio to playhead doesn't help the situation.
    Thank you for your time
    Attila

    You cannot lock a video clip to the timeline. The program is designed so that when you delete a video clip, the other clips slide over to fill the gap. Otherwise you would have holes all over your project, or have to manually move them over. You would want to lock the audio clips to the non-deleted video clips, so that the audio slides over with them.
    If you want to preserve the gap left by a deleted video clip, first insert in front of it a black clip of the same exact duration, and then delete the video clip. The black clip would hold all of the other clips in position, but leave you with a black hole to fill or delete. To make a black clip, separate two video clips on the timeline, and control-click on the empty space. In the resulting drop down menu, select Convert Empty Space to Clip. Then control-click on the black clip and in the resulting window adjust the time duration by overwriting the values in the time box and then clicking the Set button.

  • QuicktimePro 6.0 editing HD video

    Hello,
    I paid for QuicktimePro 6.0 in 2005, but almost never used. I tried to edit some videos few times but that was all. Now I bought a HD video camera and I want to edit. I just want to cut bad or unnecessary area of recording.
    I've heard it does not degrade the quality of video so I want to use QuicktimePro to do it. That is the only reason I want to use so I don't want to get the newest Quicktime 7.0.
    Anyway I have some HD video with .avi extension. How can I edit this video with QuicktimePro 6.0?
    Please help me.
    PC Windows   Windows XP  

    Hi,
    I found I can edit .mov HD video exported from Premiere 1.5, (trimed some portion of video), it worked. (good!)
    But the problem is captured video from canon HV10 using Premier 1.5, that always resolts in .avi extension. I cannot find the setting to make it quicktime. But since I found QuicktimePro 6.0 is still capable to cut and save, I guess my question is solved. I only need to find out how to export video in .mov from my Canon.
    Thanks for answering my question.
    P.S. I don't know what is codec.

  • LR4 no exported video change-help please

    Exporting from LR4 video there is no change to adjusted clip. I went through the clips from the the 5D mark II before I had LR4 in Quicktime and trimed and saved them. Made adjustments to the jpeg still. and synced the jpeg  preset and exported. Video exported with no change. Using 2.7 GHz Intel Corei5 10.6.8 12 GB of ram. Please help or guide me to a disscussion that I haven't been able to find among the many.

    Original :Exports the video in the same format, and at the same speed, as the original clip.
    under this Adobe help link exporting video - it doesn't say anything about not exporting the file without changes. Why would I want to export a copy of the video without changes made in LR?
    When exporting  as H264 I see a change. S0 "Original" means just what it says" and "Of course - same as re-saving a JPEG" isn't answering the question of exporting the video as original not exporting with lightroom changes. 
    Is the DPX format lossless to the "original" or is the export choice of save as Original not  functioning correctly, saving the files with the same format, and same speed as the original with LR adjustment?
    It looks like the DPX format is according to this link
    http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/fdd/fdd000178.shtml
    under the Quality and Functionality Factors subsection isn' t for use in desktop PC applications. It seems that DPX is for archieveing much like the DNG or so it would seem in what I have found so far.
    All in all is the DPX format what should be used for lossless work flow or is the save as Original  not functioning the way that it should?

  • Iphoto crashing after using mini-dvi to video adapter

    Hi, IPhoto on my Macbook is crashing. I can open it, then as soon as I scroll down it locks up and I have to force quit.
    This started happening right after I used a Mini-DVI to Video Adapter cable to hook my macbook up to my TV. The adapter/s-video connection worked and I was able to see the video on the tv. But iphoto immediately locked up the computer when I went to slide show and now it locks every time I open it.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you:)
    Dorothy

    It means that the issue resides in your existing Library.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Wrong 'mini dvi to video' adapter for my 12" Powerbook 1.33

    I recently bought the M9319 mini dvi - video adapter for my 12" Powerbook 1.33 to find that the mini dvi on the adapter is a different size to the one on the computer and the adapters supplied with the computer.
    I've been doing a bit of research into this and it seems a bit of a grey area. Apple have not made it clear in advertising this product that it is only suitable for the newest 12" Powerbooks and even state that it will work with a 1.33 machine in their following article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86507
    Has anyone had a similar experience, or suggest an alternative product that will work? Did Apple make an older version that works with the 1.33?
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Graeme.

    Just took the adapter to my local Apple store and they identified it as a mini VGA to video adapter - not what it said on the packaging!
    I've noticed a few posts with this problem, so just double check before you leave the store that the packaging matches the product.

  • Apple Mini DVI to Video Adapter - do you need cables as well?????????????

    Apple Mini DVI to Video Adapter
    i have this already,but do i need a certain cable to go into the TV. as it only has one port instead of the usual 3 av leads have???
    help please,confused...............

    Look in your question and you'll find the answer...
    Apple mini DVI to Video Adapter
    ...the usual 3 av (audio/video) leads...
    DVI is video only so you only need one port... if you were hooking up audio and video you'd need three (1 for video - 2 for the left/right audio channels)

  • Macbook + mini-DVI to video adapter problems!

    Hi,
    My roommate and I both have Macbooks - I got mine in June '06, it's one of the older black 80 gb models and hers is a white 120 gb that she got in August '07. We bought a mini-DVI to video adapter so we could watch DVDs and video files on our TV, but have been having some trouble with it lately. At first, it worked perfectly with her computer, but in the past few weeks has been malfunctioning - when she plugs it in, the default background shows up on the TV screen but nothing else, any windows she has open only show up on the TV if she drags them to the right on her screen until she can't see them on her computer anymore, so we're unable to watch anything fullscreen. Any tips on how to fix this?
    Also, the adapter has never worked with my computer - any time I plug mine in, my computer display becomes enlarged and slightly distorted, and on the TV screen is distorted by horizontal lines that move up and down the screen. Any ideas here?
    Thanks so much for the help!

    Hi cbeth,
    welcome to macbook forum.
    For your friend macbook, try to press F7 back and forth to switch between mirror and expanded mode.
    Try to update your macbook hardware firmware and software using software updater and repair permission after that...application/utilities/disk utility/repair permission.
    Also reset your PRAM and PMU.
    Open your friend system preference / display and try to compare and set yours similar to hers, including resolution, color depth, refresh rate.
    Good Luck.

  • Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter for eMac ?

    Hi,
    I use an Apple Mini DVI to VGA on my eMac to expand my monitor space, connect to an old Pinceton 15" lcd, both are on 1024 x 768 res in millions colors, and work fine.
    My question is I have plan to buy an Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter since some of my project require a transfer process to an old vcr or Sony TRV-27 mini dv cam.
    Would the adapter compatible for my eMac mini DVI port ? because eMac is not mentioned as apple compatible for this adapter at apple store, yet there is a review said it work great on ones eMac.
    Anybody else using this adapter that would share with me ?
    Thank you.

    look like it is indeed an apple mini vga adapter that I use, and now I need an adapter that allow me to connect to a TV, VCR or Mini-DV camcorder.
    will that Apple Mini-DVI to Video adapter compatible to my eMac. Or do they have mini-vga to video adapter on aapple store.
    Thank you any information.

  • Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter

    I have just purhased a new Macbook. My first mac ever
    My question is regardng the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter.
    Do I read that correctly that I can hook my macbook up via rca and s-video but not composite? Does Apple make one cable that will do both?
    I would like the ability to hook up to a projector which will likely be composite. As well RCA/S-video via t.v or DVD inputs.
    Thanks
    Tig

    For VGA you will need the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter. For composite video you will need the Mini-DVI to video adapter. If you want sound while using the video adapter you will need a 3.5mm to rca stereo cable. This is a y cable like this Example of 3.5mm to RCA Y cable
    FYI the RCA output on the video adapter is composite video.

  • Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter Question

    I want to hook up my macbook (late 2008 model) to my tv. Will the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter
    work? If it will work on my tv then what else do I need to get? It looks like you need other wires to hook up to your tv? Thanks in advance for your help!

    The new MacBooks that use the NVIDIA 9400M video chip do _not_ support output to analog TVs. Thus, with the current MacBooks the only way to get output to an analog TV is with a third-party VGA-to-analog TV converter box -- you can't just use one of Apple's cables (although you'll need the mini display port to VGA adapter cable to connect to a third-party VGA-to-TV converter box).
    More specifically, you can _not_ use one of Apple's $19, DVI to Video (composite/S-Video) adapters on the new MacBooks.

  • Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter doesn't fit my aluminum iMac

    I previously had a 17" white iMac (pre-Intel) machine, and about 6 months ago I bought the mini-DVI to video adapter so I could connect it to my television. Worked like a charm. But I recently bought a new aluminum iMac, and the adaptor doesn't fit into the mini-DVI port in the back of the machine. It appears the adaptor and port are both male ends.
    Has the port changed on the aluminum iMacs? The product description for the adaptor on Apple's website says it works with iMac (Intel Core Duo). Isn't the aluminum iMac an Intel Core Duo? I can't figure out why it doesn't fit and which cable I'm supposed to be using instead.
    Any advice would be appreciated!

    Hi Paul
    Yes the Intel iMac [Spec's|http://support.apple.com/specs/imac/iMacMid2007.html] call for the (M9319G/A) Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter!
