Using video clip with an alfa channel??

Hello. Like I wrote above, I have a video with scrolling text that is sitting in a drop zone. It looks fine in the menu editor but when I simulate the menu(s) they have a black background instead of the transparency.
Can anyone offer some advice on how I can keep the alfa channel video?
Thanks for your time.
Cheers,
Christopher

Weirdness!! I just noticed that some buttons were overlapping the drop zone so I changed the size, saved and simulated again and voila!! working fine. I thought it might be the problem.
Hmmm...
Have a good day all!

  • Using video clips with my ipod

    I am working on a project that requires me to use video clips on my ipod(I have a video ipod). I would like to divide each clip(about 10-20 seconds each) into approximately 10 categories. There would be about 100-200 clips in all. I would like to be able to view these clips on my ipod and that they be organized on my ipod into these 10 categories for easy browsing. The categories and the clips would ideally all have names attached to them. My question is: Is this possible, if it is, how do I go about doing this?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Well that would explain why you cannot add them to your Nano.
    Try using a program such as Handbrake or MPEG-Streamclip to convert these clips to more friendly formats. I have had the best results with these two utilties.

  • I have video clips with 4 channels of audio, I can only hear audio recorded on channel one, how do I hear the other channels......?

    I have video clips with 4 channels of audio, I can only hear audio recorded on channel one, how do I hear the other channels......?

    What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?     Elements 13 on Windows 7
    What is the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded these videos?        ony  PMW 320
    When you import them into your Premiere Elements project, what does Premiere Elements Properties for that import give for
    the audio description in the way of number of channels? If you open the Audio Meter (Window Menu/Audio Meters) and you play back
    the video in the Premiere Elements Editor, how many channels does the Audio Meter display?   
      I just drag and drop video and when playing back only channel 1 will appear
    What is your intended export for this video in terms of audio as well as video compression and formats?    MP4
    I think you can only use audio if it's recorded on channel 1 or it does not recognize it.
    Thanks for the help if possible,Kevin416 873 8374

  • Does version 12 support producing video clip with AMR audio codec?

    From some documents i used as reference to proceude some videos for my phone Premiere Elements 8 can produce video clips with AMR audio codec. I bought today the Premiere elements 12 but I can not find a way to set AMR audio codec for my video clip. Only AAC audio codec seems available.   Is it possible to add AMR codec to 12 version?

    Neurona17
    Adobe typically supports only current version, and, if you purchased from it, is strict on "within 30 days of purchase": for money back on that current version purchase. I do not believe such a thing as a "change the license for other earlier release such as 8 or 9" exists at Adobe. But, you could ask. If you wish to purchase one of those earlier versions that supports AMR export, you might still find some online.
    Is the before import conversion of AMR to WAV a viable alternative?
    You wrote
    Unfortunately so far I have not been able to generate any useful video clip for my system with this 12 version.
    Is this in regard to the AMR requirement or to any video without the AMR audio?
    Online I have seen that there is a download for the AMR audio codec. Does your system now show that you have such a codec installed on your computer. If not, I am not sure if download of this codec would place it in the Premiere Elements Publish+Share export settings choices, similar to import of some .avi video codecs. (Sometimes 3rd party codecs can create problem, so proceed with caution if you pursue that AMR audio codec idea.
    Please update us on your progress when you get a chance.
    Thanks.

  • Capturing Video Clip with iSight(?)

    Is it possable to capture a video clip with the built in iSight?
    Ypo be played back in Quicktime, etc?

    Hello polevod & Hilton,
    Nice response polevod. And Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    For Hilton, in addition to the above suggestions, I personally use EvoCam for capture of our family weekend iChat's. It's a try before you buy app that is well worth the $25 registration fee. Been in use for almost 2 years and all app's should be so simple to use. Good Luck, and be sure and check back to let us know how you make out.

  • Insert a video clip with audio in a sequence

    I've created a sequence out of three subclips and renamed and saved it.  When I try to add another video clip with audio to the end of the last subclip in the sequence it only adds the video, not the audio.
    Please advise

    Edit the video with sound to your timeline, when you are ready to replace the video with pictures, lock the audio tracks by clicking on the locks at the left side of the timeline:
    Clicking on the locks will lock the tracks and will protect them from being affected when you replace the video with pictures.
    Remember to unlock them when you want to edit or add more audio to the sequence.

  • Unable to use video clips shot with my devices in other, 2 , Adobe Pre and others

    I tried shooting a video, first since new iOS, I photograph a lot of hockey , I will combine video from different sources to a single file. I've this for years. I convert from .Mov to 264. I use a few diff programs, one is Streamclip, and Adobe Prem Elem.  When I try to open in either of these, the thumbnail look black and will not convert, this happened with both of my devices 4s and iPad.

    OP, update, I was able to get it to work, but only after several days of trial and error.
    First, Compressor does NOT come with a preset to create multi-track friendly MPEG-2's. This is serious issue because Compressor is part of the FCP/DVDSP/FCP Studio package and since DVDSP (4.2.2, claims to) support multi-track DVDs there should be a preset in Compressor.
    Step one, copy one of Compressor's MPEG-2 presets for DVD and edit it as follows:
    Video Format: NTSC (or PAL)
    Frame Rate 29.97fps (not sure if others will work but my footage is in 30p)
    Quality:
    Mode: One Pass CBR
    Average Bit Rate: 6.2Mbps (keep below 7.0Mbps, basically)
    GOP (Group Of Pictures):
    GOP Structure: IBBP
    Closed
    GOP Size: 15
    Extras:
    [X] Include Chapter Markers Only
    Save and re-render using the preset with the above modifications.
    In addition, once you are done re-rendering your videos, you must re-import the videos into DVDSP (remove and import) and re-add (remove and drag and drop) the videos to each track if DVDSP complained about a prior video.
    Make sure that you add (drag it) to the very beginning of the track of else DVDSP will give errors about GOP alignment. Basically all the videos have to be exactly the same length.
    Hope this helps!
    PS, the above poster also references some good tips on another site, please check that out too as they helped me as well!

  • Working with video clips with 5.1 audio

    Someone has sent me a video file which has 5.1 audio.  I'm going bonkers trying to figure out how to mute individual channels in this file.  My final project will be stereo and I may not want the audio from the rear channels in my final mix.  I can't figure out what search terms will lead me to the answer in the Premiere help file.  Can anyone help me with this one?
    J. D.

    You should be able to right click your source file and select Modify->Audio Channels
    And then enable or disable channels you'd like to use:
    Please note that this can only be done BEFORE use of clip.
    Hope that helps!

  • Remove a logo from a video clip with content aware fill?

    I know you can remove logo in photos using content aware fill, but you can't do it to a video clip. You can only do it to a frame, but you can't apply it to the entire video. I know photoshop is not a video editing software, but having this sort of feature makes sense for photoshop users especially with content aware fill.

    I'm a career software architect engineer of 35 years, and I have to side with Howard on this one. 
    Like Howard, I feel you're thinking about this way too simplistically.  Trying to work out what best to fill a part of an image with in 3 dimensions (x, y, and time) and have it look believable almost boggles the mind, especially thinking of a general case (your logo example is far to simplistic in itself).  The task is far from a simple looping repeat of what is being done 2 dimensionally on a still frame.  Frankly, it's more likely related to what's done with CGI, where scenes are modeled in 3D (4D actually) so certain elements can be replaced believably.
    Think about it...  If CAF is presently replacing part of an image with something it finds through some heuristics in another part of the image, and the stuff in that part of each frame is changing - and it would, because this is video, not still imagery - then it will select differently every time.  What makes you think it would select something that even resembles what it selected for another frame?  What you'd end up with is a frame by frame mishmash that would just make the outline of the selection obvious.
    Regarding CAF applied to individual frames, then your finding the result isn't coming out as expected in all the frames of the video (e.g., when you're testing this concept) may indicate a problem with the way you're using the tool, or possibly even a bug.  You might want to describe step by step what you're doing and show the result you're [not] getting.

  • Sharing Video Clips with iphoto

    When I import video clips into iphoto everything works perfect. I can view and hear video. But when I share or export with QT Pro I lose the audio track. I am using a Sony Cyber-shot digital camera. I have searched and searched but I cannot find an answer to this question. HELP!

    Your Sony camera probably make MPEG-1 files and QuickTime (or any app that uses it) can't extract audio from these "muxed" file formats.
    Download and install MPEG Streamclip (free). It can convert your .mpg files to other formats (.dv for iMovie or iDVD). Audio track comes along, too.
    If your camera creates MPEG-2 formats you'll also need the MPEG-2 Playback Component (sold at the Apple Store for $20).

  • Sync multiple video clips with one audio track

    I'm an FCPX noob, trying to sync some clips.  I recorded a 1.5 hour concert with a DSLR along with an audio track using a separate digital recorder.  I have seven video clips, all in sequence (stopping and restarting the camera because of clip length limitations) and one long audio track in WAV format.  The audio track is longer than the combined video clips, and there are some short dead spaces in between the video clips when I turned off/on.  Now I'm trying to sync them but when I do, the video clips get stacked together with lots of overlap.
    I made a test with 3 minute video and audio clips and had no problem.  But when I try to do the whole event, I get a jumbled mess.
    I could cut the audio into pieces and sync each piece with its corresponding video, but that seems to defeat the sync process, as well as being a lot of work.  And, wouldn't I end up with lots of overlap anyway, since my audio clips would have to be longer than my video clips?
    Am I missing an easier way to do this, or a way to arrange things better?  I can't imagine the problems with several cameras and several audio tracks; my project is actually pretty simple, since it is very linear.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks--

    Sorry to take so long getting back to you.  Thank you for this advice, but I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly.  Is there a way to set the angle on all of the clips at the same time? 
    Yes. Select all the clips you want in the browser, and then in the inspector fill in the camera angle with the value you want. This can be just about anything, it does not have to be a number. I prefer to name  it something meaningful, like "wide" or something.

  • Downloading and editing video footage with different audio channels

    Hi out there, I usually created photo montages in my iMovie & iDVD, but I have been given the task to edit an event and I believe that there might be an hour to 2 hours of footage. What I would like to know is, how do I focus on the wireless audio when needed and then use the regular audio at other times. I am about to download the footage and would like to make sure that I download it properly and then be able to use the audio as I see fit... ( will I even be able to use the different audio channels) I hope that I am making sense, any suggestions?! THANKS!

    The "baked in" audio which is part of the video will sit "inside" the video clips. That audio can be faded up and down as needed.
    You'll need to separately import your "wireless" audio if it was recorded onto a separate device such as a mini-disc recorder or somesuch, and it'll then sit in one of the two separate audio tracks. You can also fade that up and down as needed.
    IF, however, the "wireless" audio was recorded straight into the camera, via a wireless receiver attached to the cam, then that'll also come in as part of the normal video (see 1st paragraph, above).
    So - in that case - to "unravel" or separate the camera's own and the "wireless" audio will only be possible if they were each mono signals, recorded separately to the left and right channels of the camcorder's single stereo track, e.g; camera's mike on left channel, additional "wireless" audio on right channel.
    If this was a professional camcorder, like a Canon XLH1, into which you can feed 4 channels at recording time, you won't be able to separate those two pairs of stereo after importing into iMovie, unless you import them separately ..e.g; camera Channels 1 & 2 as an integral part of the video import, and then Channels 3 & 4 imported separately afterwards, into one of the separate audio tracks.
    iMovie has no way of separating audio - apart from left and right stereo channels which can easily be done in GarageBand ..or in another external audio editor program. There's no way to "unbake" 4 separate channels of audio within a video clip and to separate them once the video's been imported ..when all audio then appears as simply left and right channels of a stereo signal. You can extract audio from a clip, but you can't separate individual components of the audio, apart from prising apart the left and right channels, no matter how many audio tracks are available ..such as the two extra tracks in iMovie.
    You don't say (a) which camcorder(s) had been used for shooting the material, and (b) whether the "wireless" recording was fed into the camera, or was recorded separately.
    If you provide further exact details I may be able to help more..

  • Safari crashing viewing video clips with realPlayer plugin

    I tried to watch video clips on the www.cbsnews.com site. The first time I selected a video I was asked whether I wanted to use Windows Media Player or RealPlayer. I chose RealPlayer. Now every time I try to play a video from this site Safari crashes.
    Does anyone know how to deselect RealPlayer as the plugin for this site? Where is this information (choice of plugin) being stored?
    thanks

    iBod,
    Thanks for the speedy reply. Two comments.
    1) it is really difficult to paw through the huge number of cookies without a search function. I finally found and killed the cbsnews cookies and the Safari problem went away.
    2) I have not had any success with Mozilla Firefox, however. I have deleted all cookies, but it seems to have RealPlayer hardwiredas its video viewer. Do you know how I can change that?

  • Personalised Named Video - Want to merge unique video clip with generic clip, hundreds of times to produce many video files. How do I automate this?

    Hi,
    I hope the community could advise me on the following challenge.
    So I'm looking to produce hundreds of personalised videos. Filming them all sounds daunting enough but editing them all sounds a nightmare so I'm wondering if there is any form of automation that can help me do the following:
    VIDEO CLIP #1a - "Dear John thank you for watching this video, I'd like to explain how our services can help John Ltd" - specific to individual so hundreds of these edited, only a few seconds in length.
    VIDEO CLIP #1b - "Dear Dave thank you for watching this video, I'd like to explain how our services can help Dave Ltd" - same again
    VIDEO CLIP #2 - "We have a range of options that suit...." and so forth - Generic video, not specific to individual.
    How do I merge #1a and #2 to make one file, then #1b and #2 to make another, hundreds of times. So the end result is hundreds of individual video files?
    Is this possible?
    Running Adobe After Effects CC v13.0.2.3
    Thanks
    Alistair.

    Let me start by saying that it is entirely possible that this is an editing job as Dave LaRonde and Szalam have said. But I have a thought I would like to pass along.
    It's possible to use expressions to read Comp and Layer names as well as arrays inside the expressions. This solution allows you to set up the Final Pitch Video and then have the text change dynamically as you duplicate it for what you described as 1a, 1b, 1c, etc . Create a folder for your final pitch videos and make a new comp named something like "Final Pitch Video 1".
    Create a precomposition with your Video #2 content in outside the Finals folder. Then layout your Final Pitch Video 1 comp as follows:
    1) Intro Text Layers with all the animation first (Make sure to have a separate layer for Name and Business)
    2) Then add the Video #2 Precomp (Leave this as a precomp so you can edit it at any point and not have to replace it in your hundreds of videos) If this is just a video clip, you don't necessarily need to us a precomp. I'm just guessing you'll want to be able to easily update it at some point in the future.
    After you have your text layout and your separate layers for Name and Business, put these expressions on your Name layer in the Source Text expression field:
    // NAMES LAYER
    try {
    compName = thisComp.name;
    compNum = compName.substr(compName.length -1, 1);
    theNames =  ["blank", "Bill Jones", "Tom Riddle", "Frank Frankenstein", "etc."]; // Add your names here
    theNames[compNum]
    } catch(err) {
    "No More Entries"
    And then on the Business Text Layer in the Source Text expression field:
    // BUSINESS LAYER
    try {
    compName = thisComp.name;
    compNum = compName.substr(compName.length -1, 1);
    theBusiness =  ["blank", "Jones Construction", "AA Plumbing", "Frank's Hot Dogs", "etc."]; // Add your businessess here
    theBusiness[compNum];
    } catch(err) {
    "No More Entries"
    At this point the name and business text layers use the comp number to read the arrays for each text layer. For example:
    The text layers would work this way each time you duplicate the Final Pitch Video. Either start with "Final Pitch Video 0" or leave the first place in the array "blank" since arrays start counting at zero.
    COMP NAME                         Name from Array                    Business from Array
    Final Pitch Video 1                    Bill Jones                              Jones Construction
    Final Pitch Video 2                    Tom Riddle                            AA Plumbing
    Final Pitch Video 3                    Frank Frankenstein                Frank's Hot Dogs
    Final Pitch Video 10                  No More Entries                    No More Entries
    Let me know if you have any questions on this! I don't know your exact situation, but I hope it helps.
    Cheers,
    Trent
