Using video clips without creating events

i was wondering if there is any way to create a project using videos that have not been made into an event? i'm talking about videos which are already located on my computer.

Not with iMovie. iMovie generates the thumbnails it uses to make editing easy during the import process.
You could do this with another app like QuickTime Pro.

    How can I keep my audio track, delete a short segment of video, and reinsert a new video clip, without changing the audio with the way it lines up with the original video?

    If you have either iMovie 09 or iMovie 11 you can do this easily using the Cutaway feature.
    Go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
    Now you jut drag and drop the 2nd clip onto hte first clip at the frame where you want the Cutaway to start. A popup menu will appear. Choose Cutaway.
    Here is a good Tutorial.
    If you have iMovie 08, let me know. There is a way to do it, but it is more complex.

  • 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.

  • How do I move a video clip from one event folder to another?

    Today I imported a bunch of old VHS based analog videos. I imported them all into one event library folder.
    Now I want to move some of the clips into a new event folder so I can keep all the folders properly organized with what is in them.
    When I highlight the selected video clip (I put the yellow border around the video I want to move) and I drop and drag the clip into the new folder imovie 11 asks if I want to move the selected clip. I answer yes, it seems to move the clip BUT it moves the WHOLE CLIP NOT just the part I selected.
    I can't seem to make a cut in the video and separate it out.
    How do I get the video I selected into the new event folder?

    The short answer is that you can't.  Purchases are tied to the AppleID used to buy them.  AppleID's cannot be merged, and the content cannot be transferred.

  • I DRAG AND DROP A VIDEO CLIP FROM THE EVENT BROWSER THAT IS 7.9 SECONDS INTO MY IMOVIE I'VE STARTED AND IT CHANGES IN THE PROJECT TO 4.9 SECONDS - HOW CAN I KEEP THE LENGTH THE SAME

    I drag a video clip from Event to Project into my imovie I've started.  The video clip length changes from 7.9 seconds to 4.9 seconds. How can I stop that length from being changed?

    If you are using transitions either side of the clip they will use some of the clip to generate the effect, there isn't anything you can do unless you remove or shorten the transition.
    If you aren't using transitions it may be that you are only selecting part of the clip in the event window, try dragging out the yellow frame to include all the video you want in the project.

  • How to use migration assistant without creating dual user accounts

    I want to use migration assistant to transfer apps, software & files on my macbook pro to my new macbook air. How can I do this without creating two user accounts for myself on the m-book air -- my account from the m-book pro & the one that the air makes me create as soon as I do start-up? Can I just use the same name & password for both? or will that make things go badly awry?
    Thanks!

    If you have not booted the MBA for the first time and gone through the Setup Assistant, then I would use the Setup Assistant to make the transfer before you even create another user account. However, if you've already created the new user account on the MBA, then create a new admine one with a different username than the account you will migrate. Log into this new account, delete the first account you made, then use Migration Assistant to transfer your account from the MBP.

  • Trim a .mov clip without creating iMovie project

    I would like to trim a video clip that I have in iMovie and iPhoto.  I just want to shorten the file and save it.  I do not want to make it into a iMovie project.  I know this can be done on iPhone.  Can it be done in iMovie or Iphoto or by some other simple free software?
    I am running iMovie 10.0 and iPhoto 9.5 on a iMac with Mavericks.

    There is free software called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 that will do this.
    I think you can also do this in QuickTime Player X, but I have not tried it myself.

  • 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!

  • Using video music without the film.

    Does anyone know if it possible to use the soundtrack from a video without using the film its-self?

    Yes. This is possible.
    Share your project using Quicktime, and pick an audio-only format such as mp3.

  • Safari: How view video clips without Adobe Flash Player?

    In OS 10.7.2 and with Safari 5.1.2 or Firefox 8.x  how does one view video without installing Adobe Flash Player?  On such websites as that of the New York Tines, I get a "Your System Status" dialogue box that says: "We're sorry!  You need to update your Flash Player."  A link appears in the dialogue box to "Get Adobe Flash Player."   What options does one have?
    Thanks for considering my question.
    Respectfully, NormN

    Macs now do not ship with Adobe Flash installed. Did you buy your Mac with Lion or is your Mac the previous generation?  You have to do the installation yourself.  Click Get Adobe flash player.

  • Can N95-8GB play multiple video clips without inte...

    I bought the N95 8gb few days ago. Then transfer some of my MV to its Video Centre. When I played those MV in N95, I need to click the arrow button to switch to the next song or previously song. Is there any way to create a video playlist in this phone? It does bother me so much, because I need to click it to switch to the next. Pain of the **bleep**!

    CorePlayer allows you to create video playlists (www.coreplayer.com). You just select the files you want and it will play them in loop.
    I think it's not possible with the built in Video Center.
    640K Should be enough for everybody

  • Using iPhoto, can I create events inside another event!?!? Is there a way??

    I would like to create an event inside another one that already exists, is there a way to do that?
    I want to create something like:
    An album called "Euro Trip" and inside this album other albuns called "Madrid, Barcelona, etc"
    By choosing "Divide events", they don't stay in the same "folder".
    Can anyone help me?

    Post this query on the iPhoto forum.  There are people who are oriented to iPhoto issues.
    I don't think you can do it.  The only suggestion I can think of is to start a new iPhoto Library for 'Euro Trip'.
    Ciao.

  • 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!

  • Use more than one transition in the same time between two video clips?

    Dear Premiere Pro programmers,
    Could you please create a way to use more than one transition in the same time between two video clips without exporting to media, or creating new sequence, or using another layer (adjustment or transparent)?

    Hi Aqsa Nori,
    I'm not sure what you are imagining, but it might be possible to achieve by key framing effects. Can you tell us what you want to do? Also, please feel free to file a feature request: http://adobe.ly/feature_request
