Video download and editing

Is there an app that you can dowload videos and edit them? For example: I download a 10 min video but only want to text/email a small portion of it. Thanks

Check out iMovie.

Need advice on video download and edit

I need to download and edit video, have not done it before. My Mac is a PowerBook G4 from 2005. The videocamera I have is a Sony GL2 digital which uses a mini DV cassette. I have a cable, a 4-pin DV to 6-pin firewire. What software do I need? (Currently I have only graphics apps, Adobe CS2, Dreamweaver, Flash, Quark.) The type of editing I need to do initially is cut out crap scenes, piece together good scenes, and export mpeg clips. I do not have a DVD writer on this Mac. I love Adobe products but I can't spring for Premiere right now.

iMovie came with the computer. Capture and cut away.
You'll need an external DVD burner if you want to output stuff. iDVD will allow you to burn the video to disk.

I lost my belongings via theft. As a photographer my greatest loss is having a computer to download and edit photos. Money is scarce and I am considering an ipad. Can anyone advise me whether an ipad can replace a pc? Are there ports?

I lost my belongings via theft from a storage unit. As it was scheduled for move the next day I did not purchase insurance. Probably an inside job, painful leason learned. This also left me no way to repurchase all i lost.
As a photographer my greatest loss is having a computer to download and edit photos. Money is scarce and I am considering an ipad, understanding even this may not be affordable. Can anyone advise me whether an ipad can replace a pc? Are there ports? How crucial is memory? I could edit photos then store them on flash drives if the ipad cannot handle load. Never having owned one I'm afraid I am completely ignorant on these issues and am grateful for any guidance. Thank you!

No. The iPad while a powerful tablet, is not a PC replacement. It is limited in what it can do.

No USB ports or of any other kind if that is what you are asking. There's the sync/charge port you can use with the Lightning to USB camera Adapter, but only to load photos onto the iPad. It cannot write out to USB drives.

iPads are not upgradeable. So what you buy is what you get. Memory is 1GB. Storage space can go from 16GB up to 128GB
Depending on what Image editor applications you use, there may not be a version for iPad with the features you need.

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...

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.

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 ?

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?

Does PSE 12 download and edit raw NEF files

I have a new Nikon D7100 and PSE 10. PSE 10 does not support Raw NEF files from this camera. Does PSE 12 download and edit Raw files from the D 7100?

Someone will probably answer this before I finish typing.
Your issue is less with PSE than ACR or Adobe Camera Raw. ACR works a little like a conversion engine to get RAW photos from all the various camera models to Adobe's photo programs. Adobe updates it for recent models every few months. They don't make it backwardly useful to Elements software.
So, you get two choices. You can upgrade PSE that works with the current ACR modules. If you don't want to learn the new interface and tools in PSE 12, you can use the free and downloadable "Adobe DNG Converter" that also is kept up for new camera models. It will batch process you camera files to a more universal RAW format that is useful in the software you have.

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.

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:

Mega simple video capture and edit program. Cross platform.

Looking for a mega simple video capture and edit program. Am overseeing a bunch of small groups where we want each person in the group's story told. Some groups will have Macs, some PCs, some iPads, iphones, etc. So needs to be cross platform.
Really, the simpler, the better. Like targeting 5 year olds

Is there any software anyone recommends - Sorenson?

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..

Downloading and editing an existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver CS5.

Hello! New to the forums, here.
I'll try to be brief. I've got a WordPress site in-place at metalmeter.com that is hosted through HostGator. Basically, what I'm looking to do is get the site from the remote server and edit it in Dreamweaver CS5, previewing all changes on a local testing server before putting the updated contents back on the remote server.
Now, let me be clear: I've tried plenty of the tutorials. I've watched hours of videos. I still can't get it configured properly. I've got the FTP connection to the remote server running smoothly. I've got XAMPP installed. I'm having difficulties (and I apologize for being vague), and I just don't know where the problem is located. In my htdocs folder for XAMPP, I've got two subfolders 'metalmeter' for the remote server's downloaded contents, and 'wordpress' for the wordpress installation that every page seems to be pointing me toward. What confuses me is that when I try and open the uppermost index.php file on the remote server, the dynamically discovered content is not being displayed in the live view with my local testing server. I want to be viewing my existing WordPress site in its entirety exactly as I see it online while I'm editing it, and then pushing back updated files to the /public_html/ root directory of the remote server so that I can edit the site from my local client. I'm extremely new to Dreamweaver, so any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
If you know how to do exactly what I'm trying to do and have been successfully viewing and editing your existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver for upload, please take some time to explain the set-up. I'd be forever in your debt!

I've been following this discussion for a while now and I don't understand why you hope to edit articles from DW. That's what the WP Admin panel is specifically designed for. Besides, you won't find your articles in any of the site files because they don't exist there.
I agree I don't see any reason to want to edit a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver. If you are using Wordpress then you may as well put Dreamweaver in the bin. Although people do actually want to edit and manipulate the design in Dreamweaver (including myself) and from what I've read its possible but I've never found a source which explains fully how to achieve this and those that I have it seems too much effort to even bother about.
I guess the Dreamweaver environment feels more like home and is more user friendly.
To put it another way, a typical WordPress installation contains around 800 files in some 80 folders. Those files don't contain any content, just a whole lot of PHP code. In fact, the only page most people ever see on your site is the index.php page which is dynamically created over & over by the server with content from the MySql and various include files.
For sure and that's why people who use Dreamweaver and feel the need to manipulate a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver because Wordpress is 'in vogue' get lost. Wordpress just containes a lot of pages with nothing to see apart from some php, many of who will not understand one jot.
Unless you're a coding guru, you should definitely NOT touch any of the core WP files as this could cripple your site. If you want to customize your Theme, look at the CSS and include files in your Themes folder. See Anatomy of a WordPress Theme:http://yoast.com/wordpress-theme-anatomy/
lol your not wrong there!
For a quick tip on Theming, open your remote site in Firefox equipped with the 'Web Developer Toolbar'. Edit CSS on screen. Save changes to your local site and upload it to the remote server. No testing server required.
Wordpress is Wordpress and Dreamweaver is Dreameaver. As far as I can make out the two don't mix.
Ideally you would just choose a Wordpress theme which most relates to the nice site you have designed in Fireworks of which you won't find any however goodthe themes are. Then manipulate the themes css that's if you can understand it. Even for a seasoned css expert its heavy going because everyone produces css differently to achieve the same results.
Leave Wordpress well anlone unles you're going to use it out of the box so to speak or as a web-developer don't mind a bit of reverse engineering.

Download and Edit Files directly from OSN

Hi,
I Wonder when the very cool functionality of Download an edit a Microsoft document directly from OSN in a native Editor will be available like in the Youtube Video "OSN Working with Files" from Kellsey Ruppel?
Kind Regards,
Gregor Bublitz

This capability (which you can view from the blog post here) is not yet enabled for customers, as we are working through some inconsistencies in being able to support this across all of our various supported browsers and different versions of Office. We will update this thread when we enable this capability in the OSN web client.
As you can see from this video, we do support opening documents directly into their editors from our Outlook client provided you are using the version of OSN that comes with Fusion R7 (11.1.1.7.0) . This provides users of Microsoft Office and Outlook a streamlined experience to edit documents directly from a Conversation. In the OSN Outlook client, click on a Document from the Conversation view, and select the Documents menu to Edit.
Best Regards,

Cut audio from a video file and edit in an audio editor?

Using Pre 9 and a Nikon D7000 video file: Is it possible to cut the audio portion of a movie clip (where the audio was recorded in the camera and is part of the import), edit in an audio editor (I like Sony Sound Forge Studio), then paste it back into the clip?

I use Steve's method all of the time, and edit the Audio output in Adobe Audition. You will want to Export/Share to PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, and keep that format both going and coming back into PrE. Remember that you will be working with an Audio file, that is the full (or almost) Duration of the Timeline. When you Import that edited Audio file, give the program a few moments to Conform that newly Imported PCM/WAV for editing. I suggest not touching the computer, until Conforming has completed 100%, and the little progress bar in the lower-right of the GUI has disappeared. If the Imported Audio file is short, and your computer is fast, you might not even see that progress bar, but the Conforming has taken place, just the same.
I like to keep the original Audio on its Audio Track(s), and just use Window>Audio Mixer to Mute that/those Track(s), leaving only my edited Audio on its own Track un-Muted. This is a "fail-safe," just in case I change my mind along the way, and wish to revert to the original Audio for some reason. It is much easier to Mute-Unmute, than to gather up all of that original Audio again.
Good luck, and happy editing,
Hunt
