Using cs3. Clips dropping frames. When I import m2t video from my focus inhancements fs-4hd
The 2 gb. limit creates several clips and the clips don't join together correctly. the end of each clip is missing 4 frames of audio and 1 frame of video. This makes it impossible to sync to video tracks together. Am I alone with this problem? Would Cs5 correct it?
Yes exactly. Using the original files to edit with can make your editing process verrryy slow especially on a laptop.
Forget about H.264 for editing- a good codec for other purposes but not for editing in Final Cut.
Don't worry about losing image quality when you import and transcode into ProRes - you aren't 'sacrificing' image quality, you're only converting (transcoding) into this codec to edit with-- to make editing faster and more efficient on your CPU... This is what he means by that. The original files will still be there - don't worry they won't be slaughtered
ProRes is the most FCP friendly codec for editing - it's an Apple codec that gives you high playback quality without using a ton of CPU, and was pretty much designed for FCP. You should find that transcoding your material into this codec will eliminate the sluggishness you've described.
FCPX gives you the option for ProRes optimized or ProRes proxy when you import your media - both are good for your purposes, but proxy is probably the best for you since you are on a laptop . Fastest to edit with, with slightly less image quality (again - only while editing!)
Then, whenever you're done editing and are ready to export back into high quality - just go into your preferences menu and click Original/optimized media and it will switch over for you. You can then export in high quality.
FCPX as much as I hate it - makes the transcoding procress very easy.
good luck.
the original media will still be retained, all you have to do is click a button when you are done editing and export your project with high quality media at the very end.

When I import a video from my PC into Itunes, it flips upside down, how do i fix that?
I created a video on my PC using Power Director 12, and it plays correctly. So, i imported the video into the iTunes app on the same PC, and in the viewing window, the video is upside down, when i copy it to the iPad it is upside down. I see posts concerning videos that were filmed upside down with the ipad, but that is not the case, this video played perfectly fine until it was imported into the itunes application, never leaving my PC. the file type is Mp4. I was wondering if there was anyone out there who knew how to prevent this from happening? or just why it is happening?
thanks everyone for any help.I'm not sure of your question.
Are you asking how to use Photoshop?
Or are you asking for the dimensions of video iMovie uses?
It edits in 720P HD, which is 1280x720.
You can make it a bit bigger so you can zoom in.
Much bigger then this is a waste of time. -
What is the best third part converter to use with my IPad2 in order to import my videos from my PC?
I have 70 videos I use in my work and want to import them into my IPad2. What is the best third party converter to use?
There is Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr) - aren't the videos compatible with iTunes on your computer, if they are then you can always do Advanced > Create iPad Version if they don't currently sync to the iPad. There are also a number of third-party iPad apps that support other video formats

Why do i keep getting a cannot find message when I import photos/videos from phone?
It seems like iphoto won't copy pics/vids from my phone. Do i have to save them in a folder for it to save????
Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff: What version of iPhoto. What version of the Operating System. Details. What were you doing when the problem arose? Did it ever work properly? Step-by-step descriptions of how you got to this issue. If something doesn't work, are there error messages? What are the error message? What happens when you try to do this thing? And what steps have you tried already to solve the issue. With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that a helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner. -
Dropped frames when importing from sony dcr-hc52
hey all,
i'm getting a lot of dropped frames when importing from my sony cdr-hc52. anyone had this experience? is there a setting i'm missing that would correct this?
thanks in advance,
filmgrrrlHello kellyfromkenley, Depending on how you move the video or share the video from iMovie to iDVD it can make a big difference. One way is to go to the Share Menu > Share to iDVD. But the better is to Share to Media Browser instead. Try this:
Go back to iMovie and open your Project in Project Library.
Go to Share Menu > Share to Media Browser
Choose the Large size and let it run until it finishes
Quit iMovie and open iDVD.
In iDVD click on the Media Button, then click on the Movies button and look for your project under the iMovie star icon in the Media Browser itself.
Drag that project icon into the iDVD project window and burn another disk
I think you'll see an increase in the visual quality using this method.
The reason this has an effect on the visual quality is there's a whole different set of operations performed on the video when you first Share to Media Browser. The side effect of those changes in steps is a much better looking DVD from your iMovie project. -
Does anyone know why video image in events section has a certain dimension and instead when I import same video in a clip, the size of video image is minor? Thanks for help
This may depend on your chosen encoding options for the Mails (MIME vs. Base64 or similar) and/or the mails being reduced in size and sliced up server side. Apple (and Google) do stuff like recompressing images when viewing mails on mobile devices from an Apple ID or Gmail account... You have to turn it off in their web frontends....

New to FCP. Dropped frames when playing section in the timeline w/audio, Viewer plays fine tho. Plays for bout 1 sec with no sound, nothing showing coming through the audio meters. Problem came out the blue, made no conscious changes to settings. FCP 7.0.3. iMac, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5. OS10.8.4. If any other info needed please let me know, will be happy to provide it. Thanx.
Thank you for the help. Below is my Source footage and sequence settings.
The other footage I have on the timeline is an mp3 file made in Garage Band and some footage I sent to Motion to edit. I do have some offline media on there since I switched computers but FCP had been working fine for a few months with it on there. I have not tried trashing my FCP Preferences. If I did would I have to back up my project? -
When importing my video from the event library to the project library, it's zooming in and
narrowing the width of my footage. How do I stop this from happening?In the project, double-click on the clip to open the Clip Inspector. In the Clip tab you will see an item about two thirds down labelled "Stabilization". If checked, uncheck the box "Smooth clip motion".
Stabilizing clips causes a zoomed in effect, with the extent of the zoom dependent upon how shaky the footage is. There is a slider beneath the check-box labelled "Maximum Zoom" - this can be draggged back and forth to adjust the zoom effect if desired, once the clip has been stabilized.
You may have chosen to analyze clips for stabilization when importing to iMovie (that's a choice provided by iMovie upon import). If so, it's best to turn off an option in iMovie's preferences. Go to this from the iMovie menu item iMovie>Preferences. Click on the Browser tab and deselect (uncheck) the box labelled "Automatically stabilize clips that have been analyzed".
I prefer to import clips without analyzing, as this speeds up the import process. Afterwards, in the Event you can check for any overly shaky clips, then analyze them in the Inspector. If necessary, once dropped into a Project, you can stabilize them as desired. You can also stabilize clips directly in the Project without having to first analyze them in the Event.

Avoiding dropped frames with Matrox and HD Video
What is the best hard drive configuration to avoid dropped frames when using a Matrox MXo2 mini for HDMI outpjt to a high res monitor/tv? I am experiencing slow performance with the four drives in my Macpro 3,1 3Ghz 30GB Ram Nividia Cuda card. I am after about 200-250 MBytes/sec transfer speeds. Can I do this with two identical disks in my Macpro and configuring them for Raid 0. Or do I need to do it externally? I have increased speed to about 120 MBytes/sec by using a Esata card and connecting into to a Lacie 2TB Big disk,configured for Raid 0 . I need to go a bit faster than this....especially if I want to use premier
Those are nice looking enclosures and in general I like OWC. I've been using their stuff since before the turn of the century.
But in this case, I don't think you'll get the speed you're looking for because they are using eSATA and muxing the data over a single cable. It's a flexible solution, but not a very fast one. To re-iterate, the two flaws I see are:
1. SATA II disk speed, and
2. a single eSATA cable
This could theoretically provide 300MB/sec, (they have a benchmark that is around 250) but don't look for it day-in, day-out. As the drives fill up and reality settle in I doubt you'll see the numbers you want. BUT... maybe it'll provide enough.
Instead, take a look here:
SATA Enclosures - PC PitStop
Not quite as sassy looking, but I've had the first enclosure shown running with four spindles and a SFF-8470 multilane cable since 2006. And it still benches over 250MB/sec mostly loaded on the original drives.
Any of the enclosures on that page will support SATA III drives and they offer a variety of controllers.This isn't a big shop but they know what's up. Call them. I know I can build a RAID with their stuff that will cost about the same as the OWC box and be seriously faster.
Hope this helps -
When I import photos taken from my Ipod Touch 4 to My Mac Desktop, I click delete photos on ipod, but they do not delete. Is the only way to delete them individually (I have 1,400 photos!) or is there a way to delete them all in one go?
I realise you can you can delete them on your ipod slowly as you have to click on each one, and you can restore your ipod, but surely there is a way to get around this?
Software: 4.3.2
Build Version: 8H7
Thanks If anyone can help me.Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

Why can I not import the videos from my iPhone 4 onto my desktop (Windows Vista)? When I plug in it imports the photos without a problem but it doesn't seem to import the videos.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
Save it to your Desktop.<br />
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />

Can I maintain wider aspect ratios when I import mp4 video to a slide?
When I import mp4 video to a slide the aspect ratio changes. It seems to go from 16:9 to 4:3. Everything looks squished.
MP4 video always seems to have some quirk when using it with Presenter/Connect. Try converting the video to FLV and then importing it to Presenter.

Keywords are preserved if you use either the Import iPhoto Library or Show iPhoto Browser methods.
