URGENT HELP IS NEEDED WITH IMOVIE and MY SONY HD CAMERA HDR XR100E

Hi there Fellow Mac Users.
ok heres the situation..
i bought the brand new sony HDR xr100E Video camera and as soon as i connetced it a few weeks back to my Apple Mac IMOVIE opened automatically and i was able to edit the movie, add sound, titles etc.
Now last week there was a IMOVIE Update launched via software update and i downloaded it and now since then my Sony Cameara does not work with IMOVIE as imovie does not recognise it any more.
when ever you go to the option to import from cameara it does not find the camera but instead it opens the I sight Camera on the Macbook.
i have uninstalled the operating system, reinstalled, i have uninstalled the imovie application, reinstalled and still nothing.
Can some one , anyone please help me ASAP im desperate.. ow and PS has anyone else exeprienced this same issue since the Upgrade?

Thanks. What we will be using it for is mainly videoing children and family and we would like the 1080 HD but not necessarily hooked on the tape system. A hydrid might be something... like the BD and HDD. I found the Sony autofocus a bit slow at times which we would like to improve and we would like to have something that easily allow some pre-editing before getting to the FCE (I mean deleting unwanted clips etc). Also preferably not too large and heavy...
Hope that makes the advise easier. Thanks again.

When I try to use iSight with iMovie and it says no camera available in iMovie '08

iSight won't connect in iMovie... HELP! I found an article regarding the issue but I think the version of iMovie was different than what I have because it really did me no good.

Here are my suggestions for your iMovie '08 problem.
One of them will resolve your trouble. Try them in
any order you like, testing camera function after
each one until you have found the one that worked.
• If you have not already done so, restart Mac and
    try again. A simple restart often clears up minor
    issues, including yours.
• I am using iMovie '11 with no problems. Some
   problems have been reported with the iMovie 9.06.
   However, I can't find compatibility info for ver 8.
   If possible, consider updating to this latest iMovie:
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/imovie/
• Try Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
   suggestions. The specific "reset" procedure suggested
   there for your particular MBP model often restores normal function.
(Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
• Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
   download and apply the latest Combo Update, for your Mac OS,
   the current one is at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1581
    (yes, use this Combo even though you are already running 10.8.2)
Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart that completes the Combo update.   Then check whether your Mac's  > Software Update... menu command tell you that other updates are needed. If so, apply them and finish with another permissions repair.
• If you still have problems after properly applying the Combo,
   try OS X's Recovery feature http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/
   to repair your hard drive or, if all else fails, reinstall a fresh copy of OS X.
• Properly applying the latest Combo update or repairing or
   reinstalling OS X can usually correct software problems.
   However, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem,
   there are no user serviceable parts of your webcam.
   For hardware help, contact an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

Help needed with header and upload onto business catalyst

Can someone help with a problem over a header please?
I have inserted a rectangle with a jpeg image in background, in the 'header' section, underneath the menu. It comes up fine on most pages when previsualised, going right to the side of the screen, but stops just before the edge on certain pages. I have double checked that I have placed it in the right place in relation to the guides on the page.
That's one problem.
The second problem is that I tried to upload onto business catalyst, which got to 60% and refused to go any further, saying it couldn't find the header picture, giving the title and then u4833-3.fr.png. The picture is in the right folder I have double checked. And it isn't a png. Does it have to be ?
And the third problem is that I got an email following my upload from business catalyst in Swedish. I am living in France.
Can anyone help ? Thanks.

Thanks for replying,
How can I check the preview in other browsers before I publish a provisional site with BC?
The rectangle width issue happens on certain pages but not others. The Welecom page is fine when the menu is active, also the contact page, but others are slightly too narrow. Changing the menu spacing doesn’t help - I was already on uniform but tried changing to regular and back.
In design mode the rectangle is set to the edge of the browser, that’s 100%browser width right?
Re BC I have about 200 images on 24 different pages and it seems to be having difficulty uploading some of them. But it has managed a couple I named with spaces but not others I named with just one name.
Is there an issue on size of pictures ? If I need to replace is there a quick way to rename and relink or do I have to insert the photos all over again?
I’m a novice with Muse with an ambitious site !
Thanks for your help.

Hi
Answering the questions :
- Have you checked the preview in Muse and also in other browsers ?
- Does the rectangle width issue happens when menu is active , or in any specific state , Try to change the menu with uniform spacing and then check.
- In design view the rectangle is set to 100% browser width ?
With publishing :
- Please try to rename the image file and then relink
- If it happens with other images as well , see if all the image names includes strange characters or spaces.
- Try again to publish
With e-mail from BC :
- Under preferences , please check the country selected.
- If you have previously created partner account in BC and selected country and language then it would follow that, please check that.
Thanks,
Sanjit

If you want to record a Webinar, you will probably need screen capture software. Every recent Mac comes with QuickTime Player X, which will do this. Just click FIle/New Screen Recording. Then click on the red button to start recording.

you should never (ab)use a designated backup-setup for 'ordinairy' storage tasks.
plus, the wireless connection to TC is too slow for iMovie.
purchase any ext. usb-harddrive, 500Gigs starting at 50$ ...

Will compressor work with imovie and vesa versa?

I am needing to compress a large file, but I only have imovie to work with for editing because final cut pro is so expensive. Will compressor 4 play nice with imovie and will imovie work with compressor 4? Thank you

That's correct. I don;t believe you need a compression program to do what you want. I had to look up the export options for the new iMovie because my versions are older. There is a File choice in the Share menu which gives you a custom settings option. From that a you can adjust the bitrate to your requirements for the Web. For example, a preset that I use often is 720p # 8 bits per second.
Good luck.
Russ
PS: BTW, I was impressed by what I saw of the new iMovie; for example I didn't realize that it supports Pro Res.

Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty. That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu.

Help Needed With iMovie - Thank You

I am working on a project with someone using iMovie. Here are my questions regarding iMovie:
My project involves all stills which i want to animate with pans and zooms.
1. Most important: what is the optimal size/proportion - - in pixels and in resolution -- for adding stills to iMovie?
2. I can't find a pan function under the Ken Burns effect, only zoom.
I want to pan along my vertical images, so that the image moves up or down the screen. Is there a way to do this in iMovie? Is it possible to important an image whose height is longer than the screen size and then move the screen view along it within allowable parameters.
3. Someone told me that i need to work in 640 x 480 format at 72 dpi in order to burn to DVD from iMovie. When i imported images this size, they loaded, then immediately disapppeared. The little screen went white, and so did the clip thumbnail. They did not show while
playing either. Then i figured out that they should be 720 x 480.
Some of these load correctly, and others get cropped in iMovie. The vertically oriented pix that i did not format to 720 have black banding added, which i expected, but are also cropped at top and bottom. How can i avoid this cropping?
Please send replies to me by email at [email protected]
Thank you for helping me.

iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9) I don't know what version or OS my friend has and she is the one doing most of the work on this.

in addition to Brie's excellent hints... :
in computer lingo you have TWO terms defining the quality of a picture:
pixels and "dots per inch" (dpi)
pixels is, what you see on your screen.. (get closer.. CLOSER.. there: · << a dot, NO! a pixel...)
printed products also have "pixels".. BUT: in print, they define quality by how many pixels dots fit into one inch.. the more the better... way back in computer history (a few months ago...) a "large" 15 screen with 800x600 pixels had.. < math > ~72 dots per inch.. now, if you set a 20" screen to 800x800 pixel.. you'll get < math > .. ehm, less dots per inch/dpi..
a screen has a DEFINED number of dots pixels.. EVERY video screen displays only 720x480, if it is a giant 30" plasma, or a 25years old 7" b/w tube... (OK, now we have HiDef: they offer more pixel, but again a fixed, defined number of pixels....)
different in print:
an average flyer has 150 dpi... a blinky magazine (Vogue) has 300dpi... INDEPENDENTLY of the size of the pic... you can make 1200 pixeldots fit into < math > 4 inches... or 10inches..
so, some pic files contain BOTH data: the resolution (pixel) AND the dots needed for print (dpi) ..
video = fix resolution
print = variable resolution...
read Brie's comment, but why a higher resolution is useful in video/iMovie..

Newbie - help needed with array and dictionary objects

Hi all
Please see the code below. I've posted this code in another thread however the original issue was resolved and this is now a new issue I'm having although centered around the same code.
The issue is that I'm populating an array with dictionary objects. each dictionary object has a key and it's value is another array of custom objects.
I've found that the code runs without error and I end up with my array as I'm expecting however all of the dictionary objects are the same.
I assume it's something to do with pointers and/or re-using the same objects but i'm new to obj-c and pointers so i am a bit lost.
Any help again is very much appreciated.

Ok, so I know what the issue is now...I just don't know enough to be able to resolve it!
it's the tempAuthors objects.
It's an NSMutableArray which is create on the line before the start of the WHILE loop.
Having looked through the debugger, I can see that each dictionary object is created (with different codes which I assume are memory addresses) so all is well there. However, on each iteration of the loop in the middle there is an IF...ELSE... statement which in the ELSE section is clearing all objects from the tempAuthors array and beginning to repopulate it again.
Looking at the containing dictionary objects in the debugger I can see that the tempAuthors object that each contains has the same code (again, I'm assuming this is a memory address) - so if I understand correctly, it's the same object...I assumed that when I created the dictionary using the dictionWithObject call that I would be passing in a copy of the object, but it's referencing back to the object which I then go on to change.
Assuming the above is correct, I've tried several "stabs in the dark" at fixing it.
I've tried relasing the tempAuthors object within the ELSE and initialising it again via an alloc...init - but this didn't work and again looking through the debugger it looks as though it was confused as to which object it was supposed to be using on the following iteration of the WHILE loop (it tried to access the released object).
Having read a little more about memory management can someone tell me if I'm correct in saying that the above is because the tempAuthors object is declare outside the scope of the WHILE loop yet I then try to re-instantiate it within the loop (does that make sense???).
Sorry for the long post...the more I can understand the process the less I can hopefully stop relying on others for help so much.
I am continuing to read up on memory management etc but just not there yet.

Wayne

Help needed with doubles and integers

I just want to start telling all you that you have been a big help to me the last couple of months. Now, for my issue. I'm having a problem doing some work with doubles and integers. Below is the code I've tried. But, I keep getting mismatch types. I need num3 to fill in a JTextField by the end with the answer for the calc. Num2 is fill in from a JTextField with a double.
Int num1 = 0, num4 = 0, num3 = 0;
double num2 = 0, totint = 0;
for(count = 0; num4 < count; count++)
totint = (1 + num2);
System.out.println(totint);
num3 = double (num1 * totint);
String k = Integer.toString(num3);
tf3.setText(k); (This is a JTextField)
Test data
num1 = 10000
num2 = 3.4
num4 = 4
num3 = the value from the calc

First of all, your for loop is never going to run.
for (count = 0; num4<count; count++)
totint = (1 + num2);
System.out.println(totint);
num4 = 4 and will not be less than count, so the for loop will not be executed.
Second, what exactly are you trying to accomplish here. The way you have your code set up, the for loop (if it were to execute) would print out 4.4 each time it passes, then do the calculation. You may need to rethink your objective.

IPad 2 help with iMovie and iTunes

Hello all and thank you for reading. I'm not a stranger to apple products, owing most of the iPhone's and apple tv since their debut some years ago. Recently I bought the ipad 2 and it has been one issue after another. I'll start with the main issue. Upon buying my iPad 2, like others I did a sync with iTunes to add content to my iPad. Through the sync process iTunes would crash every time during the syncing of photos portion. After awhile I discovered the issue. When iTunes tried to sync video made with my iPhone 4 into photos on the iPad 2 it would crash. The iphone keeps video it records in the photo section automatically as it doesn't have a video section like the ipad 2. Once I reorganized all pictures in to separate folders and playing process of elimination I discovered this issue. With the video recorded with the iPhone 4 removed from the picture folder in iTunes the sync went through with no issue. Next, when I organized the videos taken out of photos and added them to iTunes they where put into the movies section. Not an issue for me. So I now have the videos and pictures I want on my iPad. Recently on a trip to Disney I recorded several videos and wanted to edit them using iMovie on my iPad. I took the videos from the iPhone 4, placed them in the video folder I created on my laptop separate from the pictures and then added the videos to iTunes. They were placed under video on my iPad 2 just like it has been. Next I bought iMovie and planned to go to work editing. I was wrong, IMovie will not find the videos on my iPad. The videos are indeed on the iPad as I've watched them all but when adding a project to iMovie the video tab remains empty. I've tried everything to get iMovie to see the videos and nothing works. I feel like I waisted 5.00 for the app since it can't even recognize movies made with my iPhone 4. If anyone can explain to me what I'm doing wrong and help me to fix this issue I would greatly appreciate it.

Check out this video (not mine) that explains how to convert the video files and how to copy them to iPad 2 so that iMovie can find them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gYxxMO9ylk
I'm having another problem after upgrading to iTunes 10.4.1, it crashes when copying video files. If you're using a PC for iTunes, DO NOT UPGRADE iTUNES until this is fixed. Unfortunately I upgraded in the middle of a project that I now I'm stuck. My iPad 2 and iMovie app might as well be a brick. Way to go, Apple!
