Trimming video in iPhoto9

I recorded a clip with my iPhone4 and imported into iPhoto.
I click on Edit and it shows in QuickTime 10 and I trim the video. I rename when I Save As so as not to overwrite the original. The trimmed video clip shows in the iPhoto Library in Finder but not in iPhoto Events. If I try to import I get a message saying it's already in the Library.
How can I trim a video in iPhoto so that the trimmed version shows in iPhoto?

Thanks! You'd think since one can edit and save photos which still reference back to the original, it'd do the same for video.
Humm - it is iPhoto - not iVideo - iPhoto is oriented around simple point and shoot consumer cameras - iMovie is designed to handle movies
At least one would hope that after doing a Save As into the Library it would show up. Apparently it doesn't get added to the iPhoto database even though the edited version is present.
That is correct - if fact you must NEVER make any changes of any sort to the iPhoto library using other programs or the finder - this includes saving photos or videos to it - it is a SQL database and must have total control of its data
Time to make a feature request unless there's an easier workflow than going to the desktop and importing.
iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
However since what you are requesting violates all of the iPhoto database rules I doubt if it will ever be done

How do you trim videos in Photo Booth on the OS X Mavericks?

I recently updated to the new OS X Mavericks. I don't know how to trim videos on Photo Booth though. Before I updated, there was a "trim" button on the bottom right side of the video that was playing, but I'm not sure where it is now. Is it even possible to trim videos anymore? Thank you

After you take your video and it appears on that little strip at the bottom, click and drag the video you want to trim onto your desktop. Then right click and choose Open With > Quicktime Player.app (It should be default.)
Then when it's open, press Command-T on your keyboard or go to the Edit menu and click Trim...
Then drag the little yellow handles to where you want to trim it to and hit the Trim button.
Then press Command-S to save it, or click the little share/export on the player controls to send it to Facebook or whatever you choose.
Hope this helps,

Trimming videos in iPhoto

When I try to trim videos in iPhoto, it tells me I do not have enough memory. I bought the memory on the iCloud, but I am getting the same message. How do I get iPhoto to recognize the memory? I need to make movies with it and iMovie for work. I have an iPhone 6. I have deletedother apps' backup. I have tried and failed to import videos to my home computer (a PC).By the way, still photos work fine.

What system and iPhoto versions are you using? As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import a couple of videos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

Can I trim videos in the Photos app of the iPad 3?

or do I need another app?

From the iPad User Guide.
“Trim a video. Tap the screen to display the controls, drag either end of the frame viewer, then tap Trim.
Important: If you choose Trim Original, the trimmed frames are permanently deleted from the original video. If you choose “Save as New Clip,” a new trimmed video clip is saved in your Camera Roll album and the original video is unaffected

Can Bridge trim video clips?

I know Bridge can be used to view and rate video clips, but can it also be used to trim video clips down and then export the shortened clips?

Bridge is just a file browser. It doesn't open or edit anything in any form.
It just hands the files to the appropriate application, whether this be Photoshop, Adobe Camera Raw, Illustrator, InDesign, Microsoft Word, or whatever.

"There is not enough available storage to trim video." But I have available 4.7G.

When trying to make a clip of a video I took on my iPad, I get the message, "Cannot Trim Video. There is not enough available storage to trim video." Yet I have available 4.7G. Also, I successfully trimmed the video, then a few minutes later I decided I wanted to do a better job, so I deleted that clip I did not like, went back to original video and when I tried to do the trimming again, I'm getting the error message. How can I fix this?

5GB is typically not enough space to download a movie. Often, movies take from 3 - 5 GB to begin with. The only option you have is to delete more things from your iPad. You can remove unused Apps, pictures, music, text message (messages with pictures can take up a lot of space), email messages, books, magazines etc.

I am trying to trim video in IMovie. I make the section that I want to keep, but then the "Trim to Selection is not highlighted and will not let me select.

I am trying to trim video in IMovie. I mark the selection that I want to keep, but the option "Trim to Selection" is not highlighted and it will not let me choose it.

You can only do this with a Project.
You cannot use this function with an Event.

Trimming video files on OSX not iOS

Hello im very concerned cos im trying to write a method for trimming HD video files (on oSX not iOS) into 3 seconds file but i can´t find anything useful can anyone help me please?

Well, you can use iMovie and/or Quicktime for trimming videos - those are two, but there is also MPEG Streamclip which can also be used.
If you will use any of these apps and learn how to do it, you can write the instructions. There are also help files accessible in the File Menu > Help within the apps.

Trim bar (on timeline bar) has disappeared so can't trim videos??

I know you can trim video's by tapping the trim bars at the end of the timeline bar in videos (/photos), allowing you to trim the start or end of the video's.
I did this on a couple of videos that i filmed on my iPad the other day.
But now this option has disappeared??
The timeline bar is still there but the trim bars (2 little bars you can tap and drag) have disappeared.
Does anyone know how I can get these back?
Thanks

Close all apps in the Multitasking Drawer; Double Tap Home Button to open drawer, Swipe up on each app to close it. Repeat until all apps are closed, touch home screen.
Restart phone, hold both Home and Power/Sleep buttons down at the same time, continue to hold them down until the Apple Logo appears, Release both buttons and wait for phone to restart.
Check email app to see if bottom bar and new email icon have come back.
If not, delete the email account in settings and then add it back in again.
If mail still not working as it should, you may try doing a Reset All Settings reset in Settings => General => Reset => Reset All Settings. You won't lose any data, music, apps, videos,pictures, etc. But you will have to go back in and turn on or off any settings you changed on your phone because everything will be set back to factory defaults.

Sony Bloggie -- How to trim video

I generally use my Sony Bloggie to shoot concerts. My question is in regards to trimming videos, so I can extract one song out of a set and post onto YouTube. When I hit the Trim button on one of my segments, the screen goes into "One Moment Please" for an inordinately amount of time and doesn't do anything. How long is this supposed to stay there until the new video is produced? Am I doing something wrong? An answer would be much appreciated.

Hello and welcome to the forums.
Often, a video clip you have taken may be longer than you want or some sharing services such as YouTube, Flickr, or Facebook, has a file size or play length requirement.
Currently, YouTube limits a video clip to a maximum file size of 2GB or 15 minutes. With all Flickr accounts (free and premium), a video clip is limited to 150 MB in size or 90 seconds in length. Facebook video file size and play length limits are dynamically determined based on a users’ profile based on a host of criteria.
Bloggie Software allows you to trim the beginning and ending portions of a video clip.
To trim a video:
*first select the video clip.
On the right hand side in the Voice area, a “Trim Video” option appears.
*Click on “Trim Video”.
*The Trim video tool will appear.
You can adjust the beginning and the ending of the video by adjusting the marker on the left to where you would like the video clip to begin, and the marker on the right to where the video clip will end. When you are happy with the video clip, you can trim the video.
*select the “Trim” button.
The trimmed video will then be displayed as well as a copy of the video will be created and appear in the Bloggie Software “Everything” view. To return back to your Library of photos and videos, select the “Close” button.
If your computer is hanging and will not complete the trimming process please ensure any resident security programs are not preventing the Bloggie software from completing the task.

How can you restore a trimmed video on your iphone?

can you recover a trimmed video from your iPhone if you did not back up to your pc?
when you trim can you recover video you have trimmed?

Trimming=Delete.
When you trim the video, you’re trimming the original file, and any frames you delete from the video are gone forever. So you should make sure you really want to make cuts before you do so, or at least, back up your videos to your computer first. Sounds like you have no backup(which is done as the first part of a sync) before you trimmed. Thus, the footage is gone.

"The movie contains an incorrect time value" error - saving a trimmed video

I am attempting to trim a video shot on my Samsung CL65. The video was shot in High Quality HD 1280 x 720. I open the video in QuickTime and then use the Trim command to remove the last part of the video and then close it to Save it. When I save it I get the following error: "The document SAM_0306.MP4 could not be saved as "SAM_0306". The movie contains an incorrect time value." I think this has to do with an encoding error in the original file or in the trimmed file but I have no idea how to get around it.
Any ideas?

This info probably won't help with your problem, but it's information for others who get this error.
It's probably the software that made the MP4. ffmpegX, for example, and the mencoder program inside it, do this with every H264 encoding when the video is longer than 1 hour. Time codes are correct up to 1 hour, then the seconds value gets wacky (3600 is added to it). Quicktime won't save a movie with a time code like 1:20:3623.120 (although it will correctly display 1:20:23 in the player).
Apple used to offer quicktime scripts that would allow you to see what the time code in a stream really looked like. Applescript appears to have officially and quietly gone missing, though, and those scripts are no longer available online as far as I can tell. There were some really handy other scripts that would allow you to view all sorts of movie properties and manipulate tracks (great for syncing poorly synced sound, for example), but time code problems like the above would invariably mean the movie couldn't be saved.

Cannot align/trim video clips

I've been trying for the better part of a day to figure out how to precisely align and trim two video clips, but have had no luck. I grew up using Windows Movie Maker quite a bit to edit videos (covers of songs, so they all involve starting with a title slide, fading into a video, and syncing the whole video with a prerecorded audio track), and what I thought would be universal in video editing programs doesn't seem to work the way I thought.
The main problem I am having is the inability to arrange and edit multiple video clips in a linear fashion. For example, if I have clip A, a few seconds of video with the title of the movie, and clip B, the actual video, I cannot seem to precisely edit the two together. In the background is an audio track, so the video has to be synced with the audio. Problem is, I can't just trim either clip A or clip B by a few frames to get it to sync. If I get the clip of the performance in sync with the audio, inserting a title slide pushes the rest of the video to the side, rather than just overtaking the performance video.
I should also mention that I have another video in the picture-in-picture (rhythm guitar track, lead guitar track), so the two need to be perfectly in sync.
I tried to get around this by cutting the clips to the same length. Each of my two clips that I try to align are 00:03:51:06. I thought that by doing this, I could drag the main video to the timeline, and then insert the picture-in-picture video on top of it so that they would be in sync. iMovie doesn't seem to want to align the two clips even though they are the same length, and not being able to precisely edit them is making it so that I can't align them properly.
I know this is a basic movie editing program and I may be expecting too much of iMovie, but is there something I'm missing here that's preventing me from making clean edits?

OK I see the problem,
I've made some videoclips in the past (barbershop quartet), and have to admit that iMovie is limited.
As I'm from Holland, it's hard to me to give you an exact advise of what is and isn't possible in English (as all my menu's are in Dutch and not English), as it's also depends on what kind of footage you have and what you're trying to achieve. The only thing I can help you with is point out some directions you could dig into:
1. You may study the function of beatmarkers and all the possibilities to synchronize music to clips/beatmarkers.
2. As I mentiond earlier you can possible combine that with thwe functionalitty of the precisoon editor, you can make precis edits as wel for vidoe and audio (put apperntly you already studied that.
3. For the picture in picture there is no solution (as far as I know). You might experiment with "cutaway" and/or "next to each other" when it comes to inserting clips.
4. For the production of videopodcasts I used Garageband for fine tuning voice-overs and background music. In Garageband it is possible to make very precise edits on imported video tracks. I asume Logic has similar functionallity. This means you perhaps have to move back and forward video/audio from iMovie to Garageband (or Logic) and visa versa.
If that is all to much of a hassle (which I can imagine) perhaps Final Cut Pro X is you're only option.
Succes, sorry I cann't help you further.

Trimmed Video has sound but no picture

I need to split a large video file in two. When I use the trim function and select the first half of the video, it works great. I get a file with just the first half of the video - great sound and picture. However, when I try and create a file containing just the second half of the video, I get sound put a scrambled picture. I've tried trimming as well as deleting the first half of the video and the end result is the same.
Any ideas of how to fix this?

i have the opposite problem as you, video but no sound...

How do I export a trimmed video?

I select only the part of the clip that I want to keep, then use the trim to selection menu item, then finalize project, then export, but the exported video still contains the trimmed parts (the parts that I removed using trim to selection)...

Hello,
I have the same problem. Did you find a solution / workaround yet?
I posted my problem (i think it is the same as yours) here yesterday:
