What is the easiest way to cut imported video into shorter clips?

For Christmas I am converting old family movies from 8mm tapes to an external hard drive for my parents. I have done some research and found that the external hard drive will be able to work with their blu ray player if it is reformatted to Fat 32. That part I have done--unfortunately Fat 32 will only save files up to 4 GB in size, and the videos I am importing are about 30 GB for each tape. Is there a simple way to break each import down to 4 GB a clip that is less time consuming than me overviewing every import and stopping it every 10-15 minutes? Thank you for your time everyone!

If each tape is 30GB I guess my first question would be what format are they saved in? And MP4 file might only be 600MBytes and playback for just over an hour. I don't know if the Blu-ray would play all file formats but MP4 might be an option and it would help shrink those file sizes a bit.

What's the easiest way to embed a video into a specific part of an image map?

What's the easiest way to embed a video into a specific part of an image map?
Anybody help? Is there a way to do this in Dreamweaver?

One way would be to create your image map first. Then, use the CSS property position to position the div containing the video player relative to the image map or absolute to the page (depending on how your website layout is).
Then, use an event listener (javascript) to enable the div holding the video player to show only when the specific area on the image map is clicked.

What's the easiest way to cut out about 20 seconds (in the middle) of a minute+ vid that i made on and downloaded from my iPhone 6

Hi - I'm a vid beginner, actually have a training session tomorrow at an App Store, but for now...what's the easiest way to cut out about 20 seconds (in the middle) of a minute plus vid that i made on and downloaded from my iPhone 6? I I'mported the clip to iPhoto on my new Macbook pro. The TRIM function in iPhoto seems only to want to let me cut from either end. I guess if I do cut out a section in the middle, maybe 'glueing' the sections back together is too much for iPhoto to handle (?). I spent about 10 minutes just trying to (unsuccessfully) import to iMovie, so that aint working either. Quicktime maybe? Thx for reading

Hey jabXhook,
Thanks for the question. You may have already received your answer from the Apple Store yesterday, but iMovie is definitely the way to go if you want to trim or split clips. Check out the following resource:
Trim, split, and move clips - iMovie Help
http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0.6/#/movf8b8fc9b2
Trim unwanted frames from a clip
1. In the timeline, select the range of frames you want to keep in the clip.
2. Control-click the clip, and choose Trim Selection from the shortcut menu.
The clip is trimmed to the boundaries of the selection.
Thanks,
Matt M.

What is the easiest way to convert a jpeg into a watermark with CC 2014?

What is the easiest way to convert a jpeg into a watermark with CC 2014?
I signed a paper and uploaded the image to the computer as a jpeg to be turned into a watermark. I'd done it before for a different kind of photography, but have not done it in so long that I cannot remember the steps nor can I find the tutorial video I had watched that taught me how to do it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Adding to what others have said, if you want to repeat the watermark across the image, it's relatively easy:
As JJ said, you want to create an image with a transparent background. You can even use his script. Once you've done all that, click Image > Trim with the "transparent pixels" option and leave all the "trim away" options checked.
Click Edit > Define Pattern to name the pattern.
Open the image you want to apply the watermark to. Create a new blank layer. (ON EDIT: Select the blank layer.)
Click Edit > Fill and use the Pattern option under Contents. Choose the pattern you made earlier. Click OK.
At this point, you can leave it as is or use blending modes and layer opacity to taste. Example:

What is the easiest way to use a video clip as the DVD's menu and have titles?

Ok, I"m using Ppro CS4, and I have a clip that i would like to be the title screen when the DVD starts. I then want to click on something like Play movie that will play the movie.
I want the Menu to be the actual video clip playing in the background. I am going to be importing several projects from CS3 into the fished version and would like these to be set up as seperate from the main movie......but something that can be clicked on and watched. (I guess I'm wanting titles)
any help would be appreciated. I have searched around and kind figure out how to do this. Do I need to use AFter Effects, or Encore, or what.
thanks a ton
Mo

I would suggest that you post this to the Adobe Encore>Menus & Buttons forum. What you want to do, if I read correctly, is pretty simple. There will probalby be links available to step you though it. I'll look for this there, and start gathering some links.
Good luck,

What's the easiest way to loop a video clip ?

I just need a short .mov file to loop in the background behind a green screen shot.
I don't need any green screen help, I just need to loop this short background file and can't figure out how to do it other than copying and pasting 20x which seems stupid. There must be a simple way ?
Thanks for any help.

Nothing at all happened to me. You could do this: f9 until you're happy on a blank timeline. File export>qt movie>self contained. Import that file, put it into your green screen timeline as the bottom layer. you're still going to have to render it.
In video production, as in other creative work there's a maxim: Fast, good, cheap-- pick any two.

What is the easiest way to embed a pdf into email (pdf made in Illustrator CS)

I created the file in Illustrator CS - I have Acrobat 6.0.2 Professional and Distiller 6.0.2 as well as Photoshop CS, Image ReadyCS, In Design CS to use. I don't have Dreamweaver, etc. and am not html profiecient... hopefullly will be sooner than later.

This is not an eLearning question. It in fact is not a question related to any Adobe specific product. It is a question related to the program you use for email. For my current email program you can do attachments and that is it, no formatting, not graphics. If you had Dreamweaver and you could encode your file the way you want, you would still need a program that allows for html email. Your best bet is to ask in a forum dedicated to the program you use for email. If that is not possible, perhaps reposting in the pdf workflow forum might be appropriate.

OK - all is working fine except one thing. I want the last slide on the move to remain on the screen. In all browsers the movie goes to black. In Final Cut, the movie stops exactly where I want it to. Anything I can do in the code to make sure the last movie frame remains on screen as a still frame?.....Thanks......Art

What is the easiest way to get music into itunes library?

Hey everyone, what is the easiest way to get my songs into itunes without importing them one by one. For example, if you download several songs with Limewire is there a way to make them automatically download into Itunes or do you have to add file or import them manually. I tried to be slick and change the folder that the limewire was saving songs into to make it the same as the itunes library folder. I didn't do something right apparently cause I still have to either add file or import to get the songs. I wish there was a way to just auto download them into the itunes or scan the computer for new songs.

Hey Martin et al,
Related question...
After you convert files from M2TS or MP4 into something usable in FCE can you trash the original M2ts/mp4 files ?
I recently used Mpeg Streamclip to convert Mp4 into AIC for FCE for example..
Is there a general rule of when you have to save original files so everything works in FCE?

I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. my goal is to store them in an external hard drive so it doesn't use up memory on the mac hard drive. is it possible to copy the specific projects without copying the entire library? what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

What do you not understand?
You can duplicate the iPhoto library (command - D ) and delete everything except the project and its photos from the copy and move that
Or
However the calendar takes very little space - it is simpy database entries - it is the photos in the calendar that take space - and for most people you would wnat to keep those photos in your library
you can use a photo in 50 calendars and it still is only one photo in your library - as I explained calenders do not exist as such - they are simply database entries telling iPhotop how to display the calendar - they take almost no space at all

What's the easiest way to move app data and data structures to a server?

Hi guys,
I've been developing my app locally with Apex 4.2 and Oracle 11g XE on Windows 7. It's getting close to the time to move the app to an Oracle Apex server. I imagine Export/Import is the way to move the app. But what about the app tables and data (those tables/data like "customer" and "account" created specifically for the app)? I've been using a data modeling tool, so I can run a DDL script to create the data structures on the server. What is the easiest way to move the app data to the server? Is there a way to move both structures and data in one process?
Thanks,
Kim

There's probably another way to get here, but, in SQL Developer, on the tree navigation, expand the objects down to your table, right click, then click EXPORT.. there you will see all the options. This is a tedious process and it sucks IMO, but yeah, it works. It sucks mostly because 1) it's one table at a time, 2) if your data model is robust and has constraints, and sequences and triggers, then you'll have to disable them all for the insert, and hope that you can re-enable constraints, etc without a glitch (good luck, unless you have only a handful of tables)
I prefer using the oracle command line EXP to export an entire schema, then on the target server I use IMP to import the schema. That way, it's near exact. This makes life messy if you develop more than one application in a single schema, and I've felt that pain -- however -- it's a whole lot easier to drop tables and other objects than it is to create them! (thus, even if the process of EXP/IMP moved more than you wanted to "move".. just blow away what you don't want on the target after the fact..)
You could use oracle's datapump method too.
Alternatively, what can be done, IF you have access to both servers from your SQL developer instance (or if you can tnsping them both already from the command line, you can use SQL*PLUS), is run a script that will identify your apex apps' objects (usually by prefix to object names, like EBA_PROJ_%, etc) and do all the manual work for you. I've created a script that does exactly this so that I can move data from dev to prod servers over a dblink. It's tricky because of the order that must be executed to disable constraints and then re-enable them, and of course, trickier if you don't consistently prefix ALL of your "application objects"... (tables, views, triggers, sequences, functions, procs, indexes, etc)

What's the easiest way to select all my files from all the folders on a hard drive and place into one folder?

Hi there,
I have about 30,000 images all in hundreds of folders. I'm wondering what the easiest way to get them all into one folder so I can select and convert them all from .psd, .tiff, etc all to jpg. The reason I'm doing this is because the folder structure is such a mess, that I'm just going to import them all into aperture to sort everything. But the .tiffs and .psds are 100 mb each so I want to scale them to jpgs that are only 4 or 5 mb before I even think about importing them into aperture.
I tried doing a search for "kind is image" and it shows them all but a ton of them are renamed the same thing so when I try to select all and move into one folder it tells me I can skip that one or stop copying.
Any thoughts or ideas on this?
Thanks,
Caleb

Hi russelldav,
one note on your data handling:
When each of the 50 participants send the same 60 "words" you don't need 3000 global variables to store them!
You can reorganize those data into a cluster for each participant, and using an array of cluster to keep all the data in one "block".
You can initialize this array at the start of the program for the max number of participants, no need to (dynamically) add or delete elements from this array...
Edited:
When all "words" have the same representation (I16 ?) you can make a 2D array instead of an array of cluster...

What is the easiest way to export all tables data from Oracle to MS SQL Server?

Hello MS,
I would like to export all tables from Oracle 11.2 to MS SQL Server 2012 R1.
Using the tool "Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant v6.0 for Oracle" did not work for me because there are too many warnings and errors regarding the schema creation (MS cannot know it because they are not the schema designer). My idea is
to leave/skip the schema creation to the application designer/supplier and instead concentrate on the Oracle data export and MS SQL data import.
What is the easiest way to export all tables data from Oracle to MS SQL Server quickly?
Is it:
- the „MS SQL Import and Export Data“ Tool
- the “MS SQL Integration Services” Tool
- not Oracle dump *.dmp format because it is a propritery binary format
- flat file *.csv (delimited format)
Thanks!

Hi lingodingo,
If you want to directly export all tables from Oracle database to SQL Server, I suggest you use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard. Because you just need to follow the wizard with GUI, this is the easiest way.
If you want to make some modification for the tables‘ data before loading to SQL Server, I suggest you use SQL Server Integration Services package. For more details, please refer to the following similar thread:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/38b2bed2-9d4e-48d4-a33f-1d9eed1c062d/flat-file-to-sql-server?forum=sqldatamining
