Video clips in iDVD instead of a movie

In iDVD, my movies show up as many different video clips (ie every time I stop & started the video camera, it is a different video clip). They play as all 1 movie in iMovie, but not iDVD. Each clip must be played separately.
I am new to this & need to get these home movies off of my laptop! Help!

Hi
A. How did you get it into iDVD ?
B. I would import into iMovie first and then "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (NOT - Share to iDVD as reult will be less). Then in iDVD import this movie from Media button and Movie tab.

Transfer of video clips to iDVD

Is it possible to transfer video clips to iDVD from a DVD disc from a Sony Handycam DVD202E? There is no computer connection with this camcorder so data transfer would have to be directly from the finalized DVD disc. This does not of course show specific video clips but contains the data in a number of VIDEO_TS folders.

You are going to have to rip the MPEG2 files from the DVD to DV then import that into iMovie or FC then export that to iDVD
Your options are:
Decoding programs like DVxDVD or MPEG Streamclip (this one is free but you need the Apple MPEG Encoder to use it) and Mac the Ripper
Import the video into iMovie/FCE by playing the DVD thru a camcorder with pass thru capabilies or by using an analog converter
Do a search on any of these for more info
Cheers

Different Video Clips for Chapters and Full Feature Movie

How can you assign a different movie clip for the animated chapter frames and for the full feature video when you click on the frame in the menu???

Even if you do not want that part to be seen in the real movie?
We have cut a feature film (dance show) in five parts, just for the sake of video previews (supposed to be seen in slow motion).
If you put these five so called "preview videos" to the end of the time line with the appropriate poster frames linked to the appropriate chapter markers will they be hidden in the main movie, right?
Thanks a lot for your feedback.

How do I transfer video clips from iPhoto to iDVD? I followed the instructions in the help section but it did not work.

I would like to make a DVD from video clips I took of my Grandchildren. I went to the help section and it stated to click on the video clip, then click 'share' and choose 'send to iDVD'. That option was not available on the share button. How to I transfer to iDVD. Thanks for any help.

Do you plan to put each video clip in iDVD to be playes separately? If so then here's how:
1 - open iDVD and select your theme.
2 - click on the Media button at the bottom right and then on the Photo button at the top.
3 - in the search window type in ".mov" (or the extension of the video clips you plan to use).
4 - all of the video clips with the extension you entered will be displayed and you can drag them into the menu area at the left.
Another way would be to put all of the video clips in an Album and click on that album to view and drag the clips:
Remember, the order that they are added to the menu will be the order that the buttons will highlight when you scroll thru the buttons with a DVD player remote.
This will give you a menu with a separate button for each video clip (up to 12 in a menu with some themes).
If you want to play all of the clips one after another you could create a slideshow in iDVD with the "+" button at the bottom and drag the video clips into the slideshow as you would still photos. Set the slide duration to anything but manual and don't apply any transition.
That will let you play all of the clips sequentially.

How do you move the point where an audio clip attaches to a video clip?

I'm talking about the little carrot that sticks from one clip to another to indicate the point where the cips are syncronized. How do you move their position? Thank you!
Eric

The manual says ...
Adjust the connection point of a connected clip
By default, connected clips and storylines are connected to the primary storyline at their first frame, but you can move the“connection point” of a connected clip or storyline. This is useful when you want to connect a specific frame or audiosample in the connected clip or storyline with a specific frame or audio sample in the primary storyline.
Hold down the Command and Option keys, and click the connected clip (or the gray border of the storyline) at thepoint where you want to position the connection point.
The connection point is moved to the point where you clicked.
For other things ... If you want to move the audio clip in relation to the video clip just click on it and drag it to the left or right. This is when your audio clip is a separate clip from your video clip. If you want to move the audio that is part of a video clip, you first have to select that clip then choose Clip/Break Apart Clip Items then do one of the things listed above. Best wishes.

How do I import video clips from iPhoto if it doesn't recognize the video clips in iMoive

I'm trying to make a movie using iMovie and I recorded some clips using a Sony Digital Camera and iMovie won't let me upload the video clips from iPhoto. I try to import them but when i try to click on the file, it won't let me. Like its not bold like other files (It will let me upload video that were taken with my iPhone) I have iMovie 09.
What do I need to do?
Thanks!

How do I insert a video clip into the timeline?

Do you happen to know how I could insert a video clip into the middle of a movie like you do in FCP? Can you add tracks and insert the clip above the spot i need to change for each movie.
I don't want to render the whole movie (convert it into a MPeg2) each time.

No - DVD timelines are a little different to FCP. If you need to add a clip to the stream, you need to split the exisitng clip (you could trim it back to where you want to insert the new piece) and drag the new piece onto the same timeline. If you trimmed the existing piece then add another instance of it to the timeline and trim the new part from the left until you get to what you want as the out point.
If you have a collection of video clips on your DVDSP timeline, simply dragging a new one on will shuffle the others along appropriately. However, the audio will not shuffle with them, and you'll end up moving it all manually.
The very best thing is to create the timeline precisely as you want it in FCP and encode it to MPEG2 before bringing it in to DVDSP. Remember that DVDSP is not an editor, it is a place to assemble your work - it won't do anything remotely like FCP in that respect.

IPhoto pictures/video clips won't show up in iMovie HD 6

I'm currently working on a video project for a class and have been using pictures and video clips from iPhoto to build the movie. However, all of a sudden, when I click on the "Media" pane in iMovie, the box under 'photos' is completely blank. I can;t get my iPhoto library to show up there at all.
Can someone PLEASE help me? I have no idea what happened!!

Nevermind, after looking through previous posts I found the answer to my question.
I just went into iPhoto preferences and deleted all the keywords. For some reason this brought my whole iPhoto library back to iMovie!

Stupid question? Video Clip

I want to animate some text, but i only want one of the words
to animate while the rest of the words fade out. I know i can
convert the one word to a video clip and double click it and make
it do something that way, but how can i put that video clip into
the main scene? Is this the best way to do this?

"video clip"? I think you mean "Movie Clip symbol".
Place the text you want to fade out in it's own text field
(Static) and convert it to a symbol. Then
create a 2nd keyframe and adjust the opacity (Properties).
Apply a motion tween.
To place symbols on the stage - drag from the Library. You
can also animate this straight on the
flash stage.

Assembling still photos and video clips into one video presentation.

This is partly a Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements (both version 7) question, so hopefully not posting to the wrong group (there doesn't seem to be a Premiere Elements forum anyway)!
I am currently putting together a video/slideshow presentation, initially for display directly from a computer (to data projector) and then ultimately to end up on a DVD. The presentation consists of digital and scanned photographs (prints and transparencies) and video clips. I successfully put together a slideshow of all the stills with Photoshop Elements, inlcuding music etc. I then output the slideshow to Premiere Elements, so that I could merge it with my already edited video clips.
The output process works smoothly enough, but as soon as I run the completed presentation, the quality of the imported slideshow is nothing short of woeful! Each image is badly pixellated and all the transition effects are mangled - in short, it is unwatchable. As it turns out, simply adding a single, still image to Premiere Elements results in a very poor final image. Drop the exact same video clips and still images into Windows Movie Maker and the quality is spot on (as is playing the slideshow after outputting it as a WMV file and playing via any player capable of playing WMVs).
Trying to go the other way, ie importing video clips into Photoshop Elements, pretty much always results in it crashing!
The two products are marketed to "work together", but they are an abject failure in this regard!
OS is 64 bit Vista Ultimate.
I've tried searching the manuals and online help, but could find nothing of any help. I've sent an e-mail to Adobe support, but have received no response from them (after three weeks).
I'm hoping that someone may be able to point out something that I may have missed, or offer some tips and tricks.
Thanks.

There is a separate forum for Premiere Elements at
http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premiere_elements
Also, my favorite place for Premiere Elements questions (including slideshows) is a site started by some Adobe Premiere Elements forum regulars at http://muvipix.com/phpBB3/index.php Forum signup is free. There are multiple subforums at that site and because most of your questions are Premiere elements, I suggest that you post under the "PE version 7" subforum.
Wherever you decide to post, I suggest that you include in your post my comments and the answers to the questions that I asked here.
1 -- It has FAQs over to the right of the thread listing on the Adobe Premiere Elements forum. One of those FAQs that is relevant to your current workflow is
What resolution should my photos be in Premiere Elements?
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/431851?tstart=0
2 -- Also, I suspect that you used Pan and/or Zoom on some of your photos when creating the Slide Show withinn Photoshop Elements.
For those photos, you want the Premiere Elements setting of Scale to Framesize set OFF.
3- There are also other considerations such as
-- which Project Setting you are using in Premiere Elements?
-- what dimensions are you using when you export from Premiere Elements to the WMV file?
-- what is the resolution for the projector on which this video will initially be displayed?
4 -- I do agree with your approach of adding the video in Premiere Elements.
5 -- The mangled transitions needs more detailed info in order to discuss.
Tthe timing of transitions is definitely different between the Photoshop Elements slideshow editor playback and the Premiere Elements output: this gives some people serious problems and for others it is not significant. I don't know yet if that is your problem.

How do I separate short movie clips loaded from my digital camera to iPhoto 11 at the same time pics are downloaded and how do I get those video clips to a dvd that will play on a dvd player

When loading pics to iphoto 11 from my camera, occassionaly it will include some video clips with the description of Movxxxx. I wonder if someone could direct me to some straight forward instructions as to how to transfer these video (movie) clips, which now exist in iphoto, to a dvd that will play on a dvd player as one might expect to see a video play, including the audio that was captured at the time of filming.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer this novice.

You need to open iMovie and it will have a event library called iPhoto Videos, click on that and the videos will load in the window next to it, then you make a new project in iMovie. Then open iDVD and make a new project then import the movies to the program then burn to a DVD..

HT4589 How do I move video clip clip up or down after setting letterbox, i used to be able to do this until i upgraded to 10.0.6

I used to be able to manually move my video clip up and down in the event the browser using one of the settings. It was a vertical settings that i would use to pull a video clip down after i applied a letterbox to the clip, so I could see the top of the the video clip that got blocked out by the letterbox. Still looking no luck....I used to be able to do this just upgraded to FCPX 10.0.6 now i dont have the setting..

think i might have solved my own problem the feature is not there i have to upgrade again to 10.0.7...this is getting annoying...

How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad? Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility? I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move. Any ideas?

How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad? Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility? I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move. Any ideas? (The clips are in a .mov format, they have been imported / converted into this format in iMovie, original files were from a JVC camcorder in some other strange format.)

I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places. I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file. There must be something else that's missing. My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive. If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
My back-up drive is a mess. I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={ Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period. I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive. Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me). As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

How do I move video clips to specific points on a music track in iMovie?

I am trying to make a lip synch video and need to move my video clips to specific points on a musci track so that the words are in time with people singing - does anyone know how to do this? At the moment, I only seem able to put the clips in one after the other...

Hi
IMovie is Video clip oriented - meaning that Audio can not be put in first and video/photos added later.
So to do this I use black photos that I fill up the Video with first
Then Add audio
Then add Video/photos by Cutaway function or exact replacement (in time).
This is so much easier in any version of FINALCUT where one can build Audio first then create the video ontop of this.

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.
