Turning video into gif files

Not sure if this is the right place - but does anyone know how I an take video snipets that I have in media player and turn into gif files?

I'm not sure if you were looking for something free, but exporting an image sequence from Quicktime Pro (with the appropriate plugin) and importing the images into GraphicConverter works for me. You may need to edit the number and size of the frames depending on what your usage will be.

Cropping Video into Separate Files

Hi,
Is there any way to crop videos into separate files in iMovie?
Thanks!

in short: no.
the free 30d trial of FCPX would easiely allow to crop the video.
or,
free Mpeg Streamclip offers a crop feature too.
keep in mind:
resolution gets axed by 75% doing so => dramatic quality loss.

Many. Try for instance google with 'java image encoders'. Go to the URL http://www.google.com/search?q=java+image+encoders and be amazed of the wonders of modern web search tools.

Splitting single video into multiple files - workflow improvements?

I regularly need to split a single video into multiple separate files that are used by other programs. I'm using Premiere Pro CS4 for a number of reasons including the ability to easily and accurately select a scene by individual frames, native audio and video effects/filters, and the ability to import and export various video types. I'm open to using other tools, but I haven't yet found one that is even close to Premiere Pro when it comes to accurately selecting split points.
I'm not a Premiere Pro expert. I have been doing this for about four months and have read many resources (books, forum posts, help guides) to refine the workflow I'm currently using. My question: does anyone know any improvements that might save me time/keystrokes.
Current workflow:
I've bound F8 to File > Export > Media
Import video file
Open in source monitor
Set In and Out points for scene in source monitor
Ctrl-drag from source monitor to Project Panel (creates a subclip)
Repeat 3 and 4 for all scenes/subclips
Select all subclips from Project Panel and drag to timeline
Set work area bar to first subclip in timeline by the following four keystrokes: Home, Alt-[, PageDown, Alt-]
Type F8 (File > Export > Media shortcut). Type output file name, click OK and the first subclip is put in the AME queue
For the remaining subclips, type: Alt-[, PageDown, Alt-], F8, output file name, OK and repeat until done
Any thoughts/ideas on workflow improvements?
Thank you!

Thank you Hunt.
For the sake of brevity, I didn't include all of the details about the various aspects of the projects.
Early on I was doing what you suggested and yes, it is a little quicker. I learned (painfully) a couple of months later that I sometimes have to go back and adjust the clips and this method (trim to timeline with no subclips) resulted in quite a bit of duplicate effort (to reobtain start/stop points). I've since learned that managing the "scenes" as subclips in topical bins allows me to go back and make adjustments, long after I've totally forgotten about the project content, without a lot of unnecessary reworking.

Embedding FLV Video Into PDF Files

I have been testing out embedding FLV files into PDF's to simplify presentations (no need for Powerpoint, DVD player, DVD player software, etc..). It is a bit slow when a big video file will load, but I think it is worth it for the simplified presentation method.
My problem is this, whenever I embed an FLV file into a PDF, it seems to degrade the quality down a notch or two. I am not concerned about file size since these will always be played locally from a hard drive or CD so I created the embedded FLV file to be high quality and very crisp (720 x 486, ~2200kbs bit rate). However, no matter how good a file I embed, after it becomes embedded it always looks worse. At this point, it has mainly been trial and error, but the original quality does not seem to matter as to how it will look in the PDF.
Does Acrobat Pro re-encode the video no matter if it is FLV or not? And is there anyway to change the settings so it does not alter the existing quality?
Thank you.

Are you inserting a screen capture FLV of the whole screen. I use camtasia Studio to capture my desktop in video... and if the playback is NOT at the same size as the original...then it can look blurry.

Embedding video into Projector file

First of all, sorry, I know this question has been asked
before, but I couldnt find an answer in the other threads.
I am looking for a way to embed my mov files into the .exe
projector file so you do not need to include the mov files on the
final disc. The reason I need this is because I am creating an
enchanced DVD, which included DVD footage which you can watch on a
TV, but when the DVD is in a PC, you can click on a button which
launches a projector file. The only prob is that I can only link to
1 file, and this one file is then embedded in the video TS file.
Hope this makes sense.

You cannot embed video content as such. You may be able to
use a binary io xtra such as
vList
to create an internal member with the same data as the external
video file, but you will need to write the internal member back out
to the hard disk before Director will be able to play it. You could
then delete the temporary file.
There are ways to retrieve the media of internal members
(other than scripts) from a protected cast. The strongest
protection you could apply would be encryption to the internal
member. Having said that, during the time the video file is on the
hard disk, a savvy and unscrupulous user could copy it for playback
elsewhere.
In other words, there is no way to protect your video file
completely.

Importing .avi files and PE7 turns them into audio files...

Why does it do this and what do I need to do in order to have PE7 treat them as regular video files for editting?
(I'm using Downloader to pull videos from youtube and import them into PE7 to produce a disk.)

First, do not worry, PrE7 has not harmed your files. It is just that it can only get to the Audio portion of those files, so that is all that it can display. They are still intact.
Now, with many file formats, and AVI in particular, much can be inside that file. This ARTICLE will give you some background.
With just the Audio coming through, my guess would be that the files are encoded using either DivX, or Xvid, as this is a very common problem. You can check this out with G-Spot, also mentioned in the linked article.
If the files play on your computer, then you likely have the necessary CODEC, unless you're using MediaPlayer Classic or VLC Player, as they have their own CODEC systems.
Steve's advice to convert these files is the best course of action. You may need to get the CODEC and install it (again, G-Spot will tell you exactly what you will need and if its installed on your computer). I do not know if Prizm has its own CODEC's but would assume that it uses those installed on the computer.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to save copyright information into Gif files?

URGENT - can someone please help. i have photoshop cc and I need to know how to copyright my gif files

c. is correct in that it's a little ambiguous what you're trying to achieve. Here are three ways:
Under US law your image is already copyrighted at the moment you create it, but you greatly improve your legal standing in court if you register the image with the US Copyright Office.
To add invisible copyright metadata inside an image, choose File > File Info in Photoshop, click the Description tab, and fill out Copyright Status and Copyright Notice. Then do what c. said in Save for Web to make sure it's included on export. However, while this works with most formats including JPG and PNG, I do not think it will work with a GIF. As far as I can tell, GIF doesn't support metadata. If you want better support for modern standards for non-photographic web graphics, use PNG instead of GIF.
To add a visible copyright watermark over the image, download the Adobe Watermark panel and install it.

When converting a video into GIF, is there a way to automatically trim frames?

I'm trying to reduce the size of my GIFs but it's very time-consuming to delete the frames manually.
Is there a way so for example you can"trim 'x' number of frame(s) every 'x' frame(s)"?
Thank you for the help!
A.

An easy way to do it is set the timeline frame rate lower. See image:

Video corrupts Logic file?

I've been having trouble with files getting corrupted recently. It manifests itself most noticeably in the transport bar, which gets partially replaced by gibberish (mainly the time signature and the CPU bars). It also naturally makes the files much more prone to crashing.
It's seemingly caused by some aspect of working with video. I've tried simply importing a video into a new file and that doesn't do it. But importing a video into a file that already has some MIDI tracks and then going about my normal routine causes corruption pretty quickly.
This doesn't seem to happen all the time, but frequently enough that it's a total pain. Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone have ideas for a solution?
Thanks.

Well there's at least some of your trouble. You can NOT export a movie clip with code to a video. it won't work, which is probably WHY your movie is blank in the first place. Especially if you're asking that code to place movie clips onto the stage. Forgive me if I missed you explaining this in the beginning.
The way movie export works in Flash is almost like taking a screen capture sequence (although not exactly). But basically, what plays live in real time on the stage is what will export. SO, if you want to export your file as a video you'll have to place those movie clips on the stage yourself, set frame ranges for how long they need to play and then make sure the clips animate on the stage in real time. Personally we use Graphic symbols and NOT movie clips and I don't believe they export well to a video.

I finished making an animated .gif image in FireWorks. My question is, how do I convert it into video so that when I edit video, that every video editing program recognizes it? Long story short, How do I convert animated .gif files into video formats?

I worked in Adobe FireWorks to make the animated .gif. What program do I use to convert the file from .gif to any video format: .mp4, .m4v, .avi, .wmv, etc. I want to convert it into video format, so that QuickTime Player plays the video, I can insert it into iMovie '11 and edit, and also insert it into Final Cut Pro X and edit video.

Thanks for getting back with me so promptly. It has taken me this time to connect with the proper people to find out the information you requested.
The camera used to film the class was a Panasonic AG-HMC40P, owned by a local cable TV station; they use Kodak video encoding software, and a SD card was used to store the video. The file extension is .mts, and the mime file is MPEG 2 transport. He said I probably need an AVCHD converter, and the Mac app store lists 8 of those options, 4 free and 4 for up to $9.99. He said I'll also need a converter for later plans of posting on YouTube or on the website, and while some of those in the app store might work for the later needs, he knows one app called "Compressor" that would work for the uploading later. He also suggested I could try renaming the .mts file to .MP2T, but he wasn't sure that would work.
They don't work with Macs at the studio, but I had thought I could have some lessons there in editing, and apply what I learned to my iMac and iMovie.
First, though, I have to be able to see it and review it!
Thanks again!

Can Media Encoder take an image sequence in the watch folder and turn it into a video file?

I'm using OSX and Media Encoder 6 (from premier 6) and can't figure out how to make the watch folder take a .jpeg or .dpi sequence and turn it into a single video file.
I tried copying all the stills into the watch folder, that made 60 individual video files (one for each image).
I tried making a folder inside the watch folder, and copying all the images into it.. to which Media Encoder did nothing.
What am I missing? Will Media Encoder take image sequences and render them out as a audio-less video for me?
Thanks for any imput.

Hi action_packed,
This is from the documentation: http://helpx.adobe.com/media-encoder/using/add-items-encoding-queue.html
Still Image Sequences are not supported as source footage through Watch Folders. If a set of still images is placed in the folder being watched, each individual still file will be added as a separate item to the Queue rather than than the entire sequence as a single piece of footage.
Make a feature request for that here: http://adobe.ly/feature_request
Thanks,
Kevin

How to turn an animated .gif into a hyperlink

How do I do this in dreamweaver??
Any help is greatly appreciated!

is JQ iweb compatible?
jQuery is a very popular JavaScript library with which you can bring interactivity into web pages. I know almost nothing about iWeb except that it is consumer level software for non-coders. That said, if you can access the source code (HTML and CSS), you should be able to use jQuery plug-ins in your web pages.
jQuery Cycle Plug-in (click on examples, view source in browser to see the code).
