Using Company's Names in Video

Hi all, I'm editing a documentary style video. In the video the group involved goes to las vegas and cruises down the strip. They shot the video themselves and during their cruise they took video of all the different casinos. I wanted to splice in the different shots of the casinos into one of the montages. Is this infringing on any copyright laws? The video will be replicated and sold online.
I'm looking for an answer to this incident specifically, but also could anyone direct me on where to find info on creating a movie and selling it (ie making sure it's all legal, protected, who's permission I have to get if they're in the video, and getting it ready to be replicated)? Thanks for any help

It generally depends on the usage - if it's documentary style and you are just seeing them in the course of walking along the street, you might be safe. However it will depend somewhat on the subject of your film. Generally corporations don't want to be portrayed negatively and might go after you in that case. Also, depends on the distribution. If it's going to be widely distributed, then you need to be more careful. It's confusing, but try checking out this link for more info:

  • Income email set up using company domain name

    Ive just jumped ship from PC to Mac (lion) and im trying to set up my email account. My company has its own domain name which appears to be the problem and although outgoing mail is working ok (o2 broadband) i just cant configure incoming. Ive used the same Pop3 and SMPT info as on the PC but it just dosnt like it. This must be a common problem but i dont seem to be able to find any threads that explain, im also surprised that Apple didnt explain when i purchased the unit as they had my email address which clearly shows the domain name?
    So i would be obliged to know if anyone has a solution?
    Many thanks
    Kind regards

    I had the same problem and discovered that I had to migrate to the new ATT email service powered by Yahoo.  I had received notices each time I went into by bellsouth email account that I needed to migrate by following a procedure provided and was asked whether I wanted to do that "now" or "later".  I always chose "later".  Then Saturday, when I got my Pre, I had the same problems you had and even wnet back to the Sprint store and the Palm rep could not figure it out. 
    So, I returned home and decided to migrate to the new ATT email platform.  After that, I used the Pre email setup routine and had no problem.  I now receive by bellsouth email on the Pre and can send replies to email I receive.  I have not tried to send new email directly from my Pre yet. 

  • Can I use a brand name for Company name on the appstore?

    Hi!
    Is it possible (allowed) to use a brand name instead of a Company name on the appstore?
    We are a small IT company specializing in IT support. However, we have created a brand of iPhone apps for kids as well. We do not want our company name, which is well known and associated with something else in the IT world, to show up in the appstore. At least not as owner of the app (I guess app developer would be ok). Can we instead put in the "brand name" of our line of iPhone apps?
    The company signing the contract with Apple will still be our registered, legal entity. It is just the name above the app name on the Appstore we want to different.
    Thanks,
    /patrick

    Make up any company name you like, as long as you don't mislead, misrepresent and/or conflict with a copyright holder of record.

  • How can I name a video on my iPad without using a computer?

    How can I name a video on my iPad without using a computer?

    If the film has been fully downloaded to your iPad (or you've synced it from your computer's iTunes) then it should be in its Videos app, and you should be able to watch the film in that app without needing to be online

  • My sons ipad uses my user name (i have an ipad and iphone).  I want to set his up with his own username and password.  How do i do that and can it be done without losing any of his apps, songs or video?

    my sons ipad uses my user name (i have an ipad and iphone). i want to set his ipad up with his own username and password.  How do i do that, and can it be done without losing any of his apps, music or video?

    Go to http://appleid.apple.com.
    To clarify, the mere act of changing the Apple ID on the device will not remove any content. But you cannot update the apps or re-sync them if they get deleted without the old Apple ID. It may be best to download them again with the new ID.

  • Design a site, use my domain name, and host it via .mac

    It sounds simple, and I thought a search through these forums would yield some easy answers, but no luck, so here goes:
    I'm an advanced Photoshop and Final Cut Studio user, running an audio/video/image restoration and transfer business, but I'm a total beginner in the iWeb/.Mac area.
    About three years ago, I decided it was time for a web site, so I went to a local company; they designed and still host my site, for which I pay them $30.00 per month; it's a simple site with no ecommerce, and six or seven pages. There is a contact form through which potential customers can email me.
    I also have a domain name, for which I pay $15.00 per year to the same company.
    My site is OK, but it's the same as it was three years ago; any small changes I have asked the company to make (mostly just text additions/changes) they have done at the rate of $75.00 per hour.
    What I want to do is cancel my account with them, design a totally new site using iWeb, start a .mac account, and have the site hosted using my domain name, so that the average customer who sees my newspaper ad can navigate to my new site exactly as they can with the current one. (I only have one email account, through my ISP, which I don't want to change.)
    I've got lots of questions, but mostly, what else do I have to do to make this switch besides cancelling my account with my current company? (After an overlap period, of course) What happens with my domain name--who will I pay to keep it? And finally, what simple things am I not thinking of?
    Many thanks in advance to anyone with enough patience to read through this, and still find time to provide some assistance.

    You can design your site in iWeb and upload it to either .Mac or a commercial server.
    You would then provide the domain name registrar with your server ID number or, in the case of .Mac, your .Mac URL and instruct them to point your domain name in that direction.
    .Mac is neither intended for, nor the best option, for a business site.
    For example the company I host with - Host Excellence - allows you a free domain name registration and up to 6 sites with unlimited web mail and more server space than you are likely to need for about the cost of a .Mac account.
    Commercial servers are a lot more reliable than .Mac, have wider bandwidth and usually have good tech support.
    You only have to look at the number of problems in this forum concerning .Mac to see that tech support is not readily available from Apple.
    I'm not putting down .Mac. I use it myself for various purposes and it is good for its intended use of one clicking publishing of personal websites.

  • I have a football game recorded on a DVD R disc that I was trying to view on my MacBook using DVD Player.  The video comes onto the screen, but immediately freezes, and then disappears.  An error message comes up saying that DVD player unexpectedly quit.

    I have a football game recorded on a DVD+R disc that I was trying to view on my MacBook using DVD Player.  The video comes onto the screen, but immediately freezes, and then disappears.  An error message comes up saying that DVD player unexpectedly quit.  My MacBook operating system is Mac OS X, version 10.5.8.  DVD Player is App version 5.0.3, framework version 5.0.7.
    However, the DVD+R works on both my Dad's and my brother's laptops.  My Dad's laptop is an iBook G4 with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.3.9.  The DVD Player is version 4.0.  My brother's laptop is a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.7.2.  The DVD Player is App version 5500.26.1 and framework version 5.5.0.  The DVD+R plays fine on their laptops, but will not play on mine.

    Lao Bo,
    yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
    find / -iname filename -print
    This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
    find /Users/username -iname filename -print
    Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
    cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
    If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
    ls /Volumes
    Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands.

  • Can I script the changing of creation date, using the file name?

    Normally people are doing this in reverse, but let me paint the picture.
    I pulled 204 video files from an old HDD based JVC camera.  JVC records in .MOD format which iPhoto won't import.  I imported them into iMovie just fine, and iMovie even set the file name to clip-2007-11-04 04;42;29.mov which is great, but it now has a new creation date of whatever date I imported it.  Which then causes problem when I want the videos stored in iPhoto and sorted appropriately by creation date.
    I've used the application "A Better Finder Attributes 5" to individually edit the creation and modify, but I'm sure I don't want to do this 203 more times, as you can't just type in the date and time, you have to type in each part of the date/time, or select it on a calendar.
    I've used the application "Name Changer" to batch convert the file names to the format YYYYMMDDhhmm which would be helpful if I were going to use the terminal command touch -t, but again I don't want to have to type it in 203 more times, plus drag and drop the file into finder to populate the location.
    Now, if I were more handy with automator, or maybe some (any) scripting language this would be easy peasy.  I'd batch rename all the files to the YYYYMMDDhhmm.mov and then have a script that just took the file name, passed that to touch -t along with the file location, and a few seconds later, they would all be done!
    Anybody have any suggestions to how I can do this, and tips to what commands to use or ANY advice?  I'm more than happy to RTFM, but I have no idea which manual to read!
    Thanks

    If your file names are precisely as you have written, this script will do what you want.
    Copy the script into an AppleScript Editor document, select one or more files in a Finder window, return to the AS Editor and press Run.  Note: you will need to provide your password when the script runs.
    Make sure you have a backup of any files you are working on (try using duplicates first, perhaps). The script has no error handling.
    tell application "Finder"
              set FileList to selection
              repeat with theFile in FileList
                        set fileName to name of theFile
                        set filePath to quoted form of (POSIX path of (theFile as alias))
                        set crYear to text 6 thru 9 of fileName
                        set crMonth to text 11 thru 12 of fileName
                        set crDay to text 14 thru 15 of fileName
                        set crHour to text 17 thru 18 of fileName
                        set crMins to text 20 thru 21 of fileName
                        set crDate to crYear & crMonth & crDay & crHour & crMins
                        set shellString to "touch -t " & crDate & " " & filePath
      do shell script shellString with administrator privileges
              end repeat
    end tell

  • Using Automator to create a "video server"

    I'm looking to turn an Xserve into a video server for a digital signage situation. I know I can use Automator to open a video file in Quicktime and automatically play it full screen, however, is it possible to do the following with automator (or in some other easy fashion):
    1. Have it go into a designated folder and open up the video file in that folder no matter what the files name is. (So I can update the video content monthly and just copy the new file into the folder and not have to change anything in the Automator script. I could always give the file the exact same name every month, but it would be nice if I didn't have to.).
    2. Automatically run the Automator script on system boot - so we can boot up the Xserve in the morning with 1 button and once the OS is up it automatically starts playing the video file.
    3. Last, (and this is probably the hard one), any thoughts on a way I can get the server to play a file to its end, and then check and see if there is a newer file present before looping? If not, it continues looping the same file, if so, it begins looping the new file instead? I'm guessing this would be more of an Applescript thing than Automater? This would be for a "content update while playing" situation.
    I may not even mess with number 3, but the first two are a must. I'm not asking that you take time to develop working code for all the above, just letting me know that I can do it and whether I should be looking at Automater or Applescript for certain functionality would be fine and I can further research from there.
    Thank you.

    1. In the Finder actions you will need:
    - Get Specified Finder Items, and point it towards the folder that will contain the movie.
    - Get Folder Contents - to get what's inside the folder.
    - Filter Finder Items - set to filter by 'Name Extension' 'Is equal to' 'mov' and make sure all your video files have the right extension...
    - Open Finder Items - in QT Player - note that this might cause problems if there are multiple files in the folder...
    Then from the QT Player actions:
    - Play Movies.
    2. Save As... Application, then after saving, drag the app into the login items for the user account.
    3. That's going to need some AppleScript, but this thread should get you started:

  • How do I get files from multiple DVDs that are using thesame file names?

    How do I get files from multiple DVDs that are using thesame file names? Message says "file already exists in catalog"
    Message was edited by: marcr56

    I am viewing your question from different perspective, that is, the issue that you face when you are ripping VOBs from a second DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc using Premiere Elements,
    It is best to give the Premiere Elements version and computer operating system that it is running on. In the absence of that, I will generalize.
    Assuming that you are using
    Premiere Elements 12
    Add Media
    "DVD Camera or Computer Drive"
    Video Importer
    Typically the Video Importer Save In: is C:\Users\Owner\Videos
    Each of your DVD discs is going to have the same names for the ripped VOBs (VTS_01_1.VOB and so on depending on the duration of the movie). Consequently, after the ripping of the first DVD's VOBs and their save to Videos, you will end up with that "files already existing..." block for the ripping of the VOBs from the second DVD.
    The answer is, for each DVD disc VOB ripping, to plan ahead and create and set for different folders in Videos in the Save In field of the Video Importer.
    Please review and then let us know if that works for you. Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
    Thank you.

  • Use FaceTime to record a video with screen sharing?

    I need to record a presentation, going back and forth between me talking and demonstrating my company's new iPhone app. The app runs in the Xcode iOS simulator on my MacBook, and my MacBook has a FaceTime camera (720p!). Is there a way to use FaceTime to record a video? Skype has screen sharing. You can just click a button and the caller sees what's on your computer screen. Then you click again to return to the caller seeing you talking. Does FaceTime have a screen sharing feature? Is there another app I should be using?

    I just did a little Googling and found eCamm:
    http://www.ecamm.com/mac/callrecorder/
    It looks like it'll record a Skype call, and Skype has screen sharing. I'll download the demo version and try it out.

  • I am wondering what tools were used in the "Body Evolution" video

    Hi,

    Thank you!

    Station Two,
    I am not in the habbit of, nor do I ever plan to be in the habbit of, photoshopping things to death for the pupose of making it "picture perfect."
    I have always been a person that loves to know how. I may never use it, I just like to know how. Take a look at my work:
    https://www.facebook.com/BenjaminRootPhotography
    I definitely know it wasn't meant to be a tutorial, and personally, I think it's sick when someone photoshops a person like that.
    Like I said before, it all just looked different to me and I wondered what they used.
    I mainly use Photoshop to correct lighting, or to put someone on a different background, or to add a little color to something, or corect some minor things that they request; but a bove all, I alway try to make it look realistic and like the person.

  • Using Multiple Domain Names to Access Our Portal

    We operate one domain corp.company.com but all internal intranet web servers get  assigned the address inside.ZZZ. The inside.ZZZ is on our IE exclusion list but company.com is not. Adding company.com seems to be a miserable task so we are looking at adding an alias so our users can access the server at the new inside.ZZZ url. We have DNS pointing the URL to the right server and that seems to be working properly.
    Something within the application is redirecting the page to gnwhepdev.corp. company .com (our server’s domain address) after the initial login.  Since *.corp. company .com is not in the exclusion list, it is considered an outside address and rerouted.  We are trying to find some way to pass the alias within the  application itself so that we don’t need *.corp. company .com in the exclusion list and we can point users to the inside.ZZZ url.
    Our team researched this issue and found documentation that supported the use of multiple domain names to access a Enterprise Portal.  The documentation that we found is below:
    How To…Configure the J2EE Engine Deployment Descriptor (Version 1.00 – July 2004)
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0eb8120-b66c-2910-5795-894f384fc054
    Particularly on page 13-15 in the documentation it talks about enabling the portal via multiple domain names (Section 3.7:  Using Multiple Domain Names to Access the Portal).  Also, the documentation says the following:
         You must have sever proxy servers, each with a different domain name.  You then activate the filter mechanism and configure it to work with several proxy servers
    We have several questions about the possiblities of being able to set this up and whether it would require another server where Web Dispatcher would need to be installed for this configuration to work properly.  Can someone please provide some insight into what needs to be configured and answer the question about the Web Dispatcher?  Also, if Web Dispatcher is required, what steps need to be done to configure?  If Web Dispatcher is not needed, what will we need to do apart from that to set this up for our Enterprise Portal system?

    It is but you have to use masking......
