Video creating and editing software

Does anyone have any good suggestions for video creating and editing software. I'm talkin about taking videos from my digital camera and insering them, adding music over the top, maybe some cool transition effects. I don't think that imovie will do it???

Hi
I don't see why iMovie shouldn't, ask the people in the iMovie Forum:

I need easy audio and video converting and editing software?

I need easy audio and video converting and editing software that wont cost $400.

I highly recommend you try Video Monkey. It's free, though donations are certainly accepted, and does an excellent job of converting .mov to .wmv. Choose Best (2 Pass) for Encoding Speed and depending upon the size of your original file, uncheck 320 pixels wide to create a larger converted image. I set Quality to "Go Nuts".
Another good commercial program is Video Converter Ultimate for Mac. It works as video converter and editor. The version for 2 Pass conversion is approximately $69. , which is considerably less than the $400+ that Adobe Premiere is asking for its editor. I'd still prefer a freebie though, but there's little choice...

VIDEO CONVERSION AND EDITING SOFTWARE

I have recorded lots of INTERESTING videos while working as lifeguard this summer. Most of them are just 3 minutes raw AVIs of about 100MB in size. Because my digital cam does not have any built-in compression they are huge in size. I am looking for some Video Conversion and Editing software which allows me to convert them to some other format or at least let me encode them with some nice video codecs. I would like to put them on my web site. I promise I will post a link to those video here if you guys help me out with some free or Borrowed software.

Nice find!!!
It has some interesting cyber fun software. It might just be my perception but the site seems to have a lot more than just video formatting tools.

External storage for early 08 mac pro for video storage and editing

Early 08 Mac Pro mod 3.1, 2x Intel 2.8 Quad Core Processors. Bus speed 1.6 Ghz. 10 GB DDR2 FB-Dimm 800 MHz. USB2, Firewire 400, 800. ATI Radeon HD 2600 PCIe 256 mbVRAM. Currently running OS 10.6.8.
I use machine for photo and video storage and editing. I tried using 2x 3TB and 2x1TB HDD internally ( 8 TB total). All are Seagate Barracuda SATA 7200. Experienced constant spinning wheel and lockup requiring manual shutdown. I had upgraded to Lion and to Maverick. Did not help so I did a clean install of primary with Snow Leopard and did not install past 10.6.8. Works now if I don’t exceed 3.5 TB internally. I also discovered that my Disk Permissions experienced voluminous corruption that could not be repaired if I installed Java for Mac OS 10.6 Update 17 as suggested each time I check for software updates.
I need to be able to have a total of about six TBs available in my system for storage and editing of video via Imovie. I don’t know the maximum of HDD storage that can be used in the four internal bays without causing lockup and corruption. If 3.5 TB is about the max, then I would like to have some ability to have external storage via firewire 800 if that would facility fast enough transfer for either video edition and or playback. I don’t know if thunderbolt can be installed via PCI card. I could add a SATA PCI card. However, I assume that would cause the same problem as experienced with 8 TBs installed internally in the four bays.
I would appreciate any suggestions.

Do you mean 2x2TB and 2x3TB for a total internal capacity of 10TBs? Are you running Snow Leopard or something else? Actually, I took it to an authorized repair facility who ran checks and said nothing is wrong with the hardware.
Yes, I've got a total of to TB and I'm running Snow Leopard. If your hardware checks out, that pretty much makes it a software problem,,, reinstall the OS?
Does the High Point Technologies SATA3 PCIe connect to eternal drive enclosures or does it somehow connect to drives in some of your four internal bays?
Highpoint makes several RocketRAID 2700 series SATA3 controllers for Mac with external mini-SAS connectors, probably the cleanest/least expensive external hook-up. They also offer a combo internal/external board that (for marketing reasons) is listed as not working for internals with Mac Pro. I believe that this is due to pressure from Apple (who apparently does some business with High Point Tech) but to the best of my knowledge it will. Technically, the "not supported" statement is true since all the internal bays are tied to the motherboard SATA 2 controller, but this can be remedied with a special cable. HOWEVER... the boards are not bootable, so your system disk needs to be on the motherboard controller.
In truth, I bought one of their 8-port "internal only" boards designated for PC only and flashed it so the Mac Pro sees it as a 2722 board, so I have 8 internal ports. I'm not recommending you do the same unless you're pretty geeky, but the 2721 would give you half-and-half or the 2722 would give you 8 external with no mods to the board.

Video FX: video effects and editing drive (incl. RAID disk arrays)

Having had an issue with rendering iMovie effects and read through a few posted thread, I ran an experiment that pinpoints an incompatibility between iMovie and large size (800GB) RAID array volumes. Hence the following questions:
Is iMovie designed to support large sire RAID disk arrays ?
Could anybody test a non-RAID array large size (say 500GB or better 1000GB) volume to check if it is size or RAID dependent ?
When can we expect a fix ?
For more details, please read on.
Reading through the other threads talking about the Quartz composer effects, it sounds like the Apple programmers have a lot of work ahead to deliver a more robust 6.0.2 version.
I wanted to record the noticed incompatibility of working with a project outside the System & Application drive and applying Quartz composer effects.
Most keen videographers are using either a good large size external drive, a RAID array or a separate partition to store their video footage and editing work. So the noticed incompatibility needs to be looked into.
Interestingly, I read of other users having the same problem but Karl Petersen also mentionned that he didn't have the problem ...
So, what's wrong ? If the problem would be consistent, it would be easy to have Apple on their toes to fix it, but if not ...
So I ran a small experiment. I took the same iMovie project and copied it to my different disks and volumes (at least the ones where I had enough space) and tested 3 types of effects:
-1- the non-Quartz Composer 'fast/slow/reverse' effect, which caused me trouble already in iMovie '05;
-2- the Quartz Composer 'sepia tone' effect, which I was using without problem in the previous version;
-3- the non-Quartz Composer 'aged film' effect, which I was using without problem in the previous version;
My disk and volume configuration is the following:
-> First internal 500GB Serial ATA Disk split into 3 partitions:
a) 30GB System & Applications Drive (Start-up Disk);
b) 20GB Pictures Drive;
c) 415.6GB Partition as Slice 1 of my Apple RAID array;
-> Second internal 500GB Serial ATA Disk split into 4 partitions:
d) 15GB Virtual PC System & Applications Drive;
e) 15GB MAC & PC Documents Drive;
f) 20GB Musics Drive;
g) 415.6GB Partition as Slice 2 of my Apple RAID array;
-> Internal 831.3GB Apple RAID Array - striped RAID set made of 2 slices (volumes c and g above);
-> External 120GB FireWire Disk in one volume.
All volumes are formated using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.
The result is consistent and points towards an incompatibility of iMovie with either very large size volume or RAID array. Indeed, all tested effects preview fine on all tested volumes, however, they can be applied seemlessly on all tested volumes apart for my large size RAID array.
When the project is on the RAID array, hitting the apply button results in the following:
For the non-Quartz Composer 'fast/slow/reverse' effect and the Quartz Composer 'sepia tone' effect, rendering starts but then stops a fraction of a second later (as if it was unable to write the rendered file to disk). Resulting image in the video viewer is shifted diagonally to leave a black corner on the bottom-left.
For the non-Quartz Composer 'aged film' effect, rendering starts and proceeds but the resulting image in the video viewer is again shifted diagonally to leave a black corner on the bottom-left. Note that resizing the iMovie window corrects this viewer issue.
Conclusion:
Is iMovie designed to support large sire RAID disk arrays ?
Could anybody test a non-RAID array large size (say 500GB or better 1000GB) volume to check if it is size or RAID dependent ?
When can we expect a fix ?

Alex

I had the same problem rendering a movie with iMovie 6 when the file is placed on a second internal disk.
Clicking the 'Ignore ownership on this volume' tick box is a solution but I find it too blunt. My Mac is configured as a multiuser system and I bought the second internal disk to use it for my /Users directory. I thus don't want the different users to be able to create files in each others directories.
When unclicking the 'Ignore ownership on this volume' tick box again I'm surprised to find that rendering still works fine for all users with the desired file integrity.
I would have preferred to set up all the permissions using unix commands instead of all this magic. Can anyone explain the proper way to configure the correct permissions using the Terminal?

How to create and edit a .ini file using java

Hi All...
Pls help me in creating and editing an .ini file using java...
thanks in advance
Regards,
sathya

Let's assume the ini file is a mapping type storage (key=value) so lets use Properties object. (works with java 1.4 & up)
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Properties;
public class Test {
     private static Properties props;
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
          File file = new File("test.ini");//This is out ini file
          props = new Properties();//Create the properties object
          read(file);//Read the ini file
          //Once we've populated the Properties object. set/add a property using the setProperty() method.
          props.setProperty("testing", "value");
          write(file);//Write to ini file
     public static void read(File file) throws IOException {
          FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);//Create a FileInputStream
          props.load(fis);//load the ini to the Properties file
          fis.close();//close
     public static void write(File file) throws IOException {
          FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);//Create a FileOutputStream
          props.store(fos, "");//write the Properties object values to our ini file
          fos.close();//close

BAdI for RMWB u2013 Create and Edit recipes

Hi Gurus,
I am looking for BAdI or User Exit - RMWB u2013 Create and Edit recipes .
My scenario is somethng like:
Need to specify with the logic in order to execute the check on the recipes before they are being transformed, i.e. method has to get triggered when system status in the Recipe is to be changed from In-Process (ISTATUS = u201CI6000u201D) to Processing closed/Completed (ISTATUS = u201CI6001u201D) or Released (ISTATUS = u201CI6003u201D)
Please suggest any.
Many Thanks,
Madan

Hi Roland,
Thank you !!
I can use the method "CHECK_STATUS_CHANGE", it is indeed getting triggered.
Although I have a query regarding the usage of the same method.
When I go ahead and create new custom implementation, i need to de-activate the existing standard implementation - IMPL_RCP_VAL_CHECK and activate the newly created custom implementation.
When I do that the code inside the standard method - CHECK_STATUS_CHANGE will be gone (since i will be using the custom implementation and adding my code inside the method).
So can you please suggest how to do the Impact analysis on this one.
Many Thanks,
Madan

How can I exchange my pc created documents on Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with my mac and my Pages, Numbers and Keynote created content with my pc? I need to create and edit between both.

How can I exchange my pc created documents on Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with my mac and my Pages, Numbers and Keynote created content with my pc? I need to create and edit and exchange between both types of operating systems.

Your Windows system will not open any Pages, Numbers or Keynote documents. No applications exist for Windows that can open those formats. You will need to export your documents in Word, Excel and PowerPoint formats, respectively, before you'll be able to view and edit the documents on your Windows system. The iWork documents can natively open Word, Excel and PP documents, though there are limitations on what can be imported (for instance, Numbers does not support all possible Excel functions). Consult the documentation for the relevant iWork application for details on importing and exporting.
If you are asking how to get the documents from one system to the other, then there are several ways to do that, including file sharing, using an external drive (hard drive, USB flash drive), or emailing the documents to yourself. Which would be best for your situation I can't say without more details about your usage.

Create and edit a PDF file

Hi,
Still very new on the Mac - how do I create and edit a pdf file on my iMac?
Thanks for any info.

Creating a PDF is really simple. From any application choose the print command (Command P) and in the lower left of the box you will see PDF, click PDF and then choose what you want to do. It will look similar to:
For editing PDF files you can do some basic annotation editing using the Preview app which you will find in your Applications folder. However if you want to do more sophisticated editing then you will need to purchase an editor from the Mac App Store. Open the store type PDF Editor in the search field and you will find quite a few to choose from ranging from $2.99 to $99.99 depending on your needs.

Is there a way to create and edit a video in portrait mode / 9:16 in Premiere Elements 12 or 13. Playback on an iPhone in portrait position.

I'm editing iPhone app video for posting as the first screen in the Apple app store. Required size for the video is 750:1334, 9:16. I there a way to setup the initial video in portrait mode? Many posts for how to rotate a specific clip, but I need the whole video in portrait position. How to accomplish this? I'm using Windows 7 and Premiere Elements 12 and now 13.

LaurieFrick
Thanks for giving this portrait Edit area monitor shape a look.
I have Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 8.1 64 bit and have done the work using Premiere Elements 12/12.1 on Windows 7 64 bit.
Here is a step by step
Find the DSLR [email protected] file
Local Disk C\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 12\Settings\SequencePresets\NTSC\DSLR\1080p\
And, in that 1080p Folder is the DSLR 1080p30@ 29.97.sqpreset file that you seek.
1. Copy the
DSLR 1080p30@ 29.9.sqpreset fileI
and paste it to the computer desktop in a newly created folder named 1920p.
2. Open the 1920p Folder and edit the ..sqpreset file in Notepad.
To do that right click the .sqpreset, and, from the pop up, select Open With and then Notepad.
3. In the Notepad document, you are going to edit in only 2 places for now, switching 1920 and 1080 to 1080 and 1920 at the top and bottom
sections of the Notepad document.
Then go specifically File Menu/Save of the Notepad document and hit Save.
4. At this point, you have the edited.sqpreset file in the 1920p Folder on the computer desktop.
(Change the name of the edited .sqpreset file so that it = DSLR [email protected])
Move the 1920p Folder from there to add it to the 1080p Folder, the location where you found the original .sqpreset file that you edited.
Close out of there.
5. Back in the Premiere Elements 12/12.1, manually set the project preset to the new project preset
6. When you import your 1080 x 1920 9:16 video file into the project and drag it into the Timeline, you should see
Note that there is no orange line over that Timeline content, indicating that you are seeing
the best possible preview of the image.
7. As I wrote before,
But, here is the hang up. If I render the Timeline content to get the best possible preview at the Edit level, the video in the Edit area monitor
squeezes in resulting in black borders to the left and right of the video image on screen.
But, otherwise I found I had no problems editing or exporting, just had to keep away from Timeline rendering for previewing after an edit. Need to find the missing ingredient for 100%.
I will be writing this up in my blog in a more organized fashion including how I got the project preset description in Change Settings to agree with the changes. Probably I will do that in the morning.
