What kind of video clips can I import?

I am relatively new using imovie, i am trying to splice together some clips that are mpg format. When I drag the clips to imovies it says"can't open file skipping and continuing". Does anybody have any advice? Thanks

For MPEG-1, you need to convert to DV using MPEG Streamclip.

    Hello,
    Adobe stopped supporting flash for android since ICS. You may still be able to download the latest (old) flash player "at your own risk" from Adobe archived flash player versions:

    As for video streaming, there are lot of apps for that and it's just a matter of your preference.

  • What kind of video intro can I get away with?

    I would like to have a video of about the size and quality of this apple Final Cut Studio NAB video.
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/action/?movie=nab
    Only not nearly as long. Well under a minute for sure! Can I get away with this in iweb with autoload setup for the initial splash screen of my website. I'll be using a .mac account.
    Is there a way to make it have some type of loading indicator and a skip past intro thing? Will it take 3 days to load? Advise? Thanks!

    Hello John,
    The biggest factor on whether people will watch your movie intro is dependent on their connection speed. If all your viewers have cable/dsl then it probably isn't a problem, if you are getting lots of low speed visitors then they won't take the time to let it load—probably.
    If you don't already have Statcounter ( http://www.statcounter.com/ ) and or Goggle Analytics ( http://www.google.com/analytics/ ) you should get both. This will allow you to monitor your visitor demographic, giving you the ability to design your site to the needs of the majority.... plus it is fun to see hits come in from across the country and around the world.
    Any how, I degress. Even if all your users have fast connection speeds you will probably have better luck with a flash movie which yields a higher quality to lower size ratio then the Quicktime format. Plus, more people have flash installed on their computers then Quicktime. If you don't have a flash converter you can get a resonably priced conveter at http://www.verticalmoon.com/products/video2swf/video2swf.htm
    The only problem with using flash (I currently still use Quicktime) is that you will have to add your movies in post publish. Hope that helps.

  • What kind of video format can i use in photoshop cc?

    i tried to import mp4, mov, mpeg etc....all didn't work. what can i do?

    Are you getting any error messages?
    You could try resetting your preferences (just before starting photoshop hold down the 3 modifier keys
    {shift+ctrl/command+alt/option}
    When photoshop starts you will get a pop up asking if you want your preferences reset, just click yes and if that message does not appear try again)

  • What kind of video file should I import to FCP?

    I am trying to digitize some footage into FCP but for some reason I'm getting a weird error where, during import, the tape keeps rolling and the sound keeps coming but the picture freezes for a few seconds and then "jump cuts" to where the tape is and resumes importing. I tried different decks, restarting, different scratch disks, etc. but nothing worked.
    The only thing that did work is that I tried to import it into iMovie and it worked flawlessly. The problem is I now have to export this footage into something that FCP can import. Does anyone know the best format to export raw iMovie footage so that it's maximized in FCP? I have QT Pro so I can export to almost anything.
    Thanks in advance.

    Use animation = non-compressed.
    No...don't do that. The result will be a HUGE file that will require a fast raid array to play in real time. Overkill.
    DV/DVCPRO-NTSC is what you should choose. But that is just a stop-gap measure. You need to figure out what is up with this.
    The first thing to do when FCP acts up is to trash your preferences. FCP Rescue does this for you automatically (OK, you have to press the TRASH button)..and it free. Quit FCP, trash prefs, launch FCP.

  • What kind of video camera do I need to be able to import to

    I do not know what kind of video camera I need to have to import to iPhoto. My parents have a VHS camcorder. Can I use that one? Do i need to have a digital camcorder?

    Hi Katrina,
    welcome to thsi forum
    to throw in some €cents...:
    * mini-dv, nothing else
    * with the "big" brands (Sony, Canon, ...) you stay save
    * go to a shop and make some "hands on experience"... Panasonic for example is VERY small for some hands...
    * ask for a firewire-cable, 4/6pin to connect camera with your Mac (no, usb DOESN'T work)
    * that camera doesn't need any effects...- you will add this in iMovie..., so a very basic one is good enough
    * get a second battery and a tripod ;-))
    * follow any other advice given you here in this forum
    and, besides, no, vhs camcorder don't work with iM....

  • What kind of videos can I use?

    I had a question, what kind of videos can i upload onto a new nano?
    See, I have a DVD of my family reunion, someone video taped it and put it on DVD. Is it legal to use that DVD?
    And I was wonering...if so, how do i get it onto the ipod? I have never used an ipod with video...so the itunes part is completely new to me.
    Just to tell you though, my XP does not play dvds....any suggestions?

    Whats t&c?
    Anyway in most contries your aloud to make backups of your DVD and rip them to watch on your iPod.
    Programms which do that include Handbrake and VisualHub.
    But if its a DVD you burned yourself, you should be able to convert the files on the DVD with either Quicktime or iSquint without any of the other programms.
    iSquint is great much faster than Quicktime and free.

  • Ok, so what kind of videos CAN I get on my Zen?

    /Ok, so what kind of videos CAN I get on my Zen?S I just bought a Zen. Been trying for 2 days to load ANY videos on my player and getting nowhere. There's probably something simply that I just don't know.
    I bought a movie and a TV episode from Itunes. Downloaded to PC. Can't get them onto my Zen. Tried Creative converter, got error. No description of the error just that the conversion was "unsuccessful". I tried several other converters from on-line. Still errors.
    I tried to copy multiple DVD's from the DVD dri've to my PC (to then I assume convert somehow to the Zen), they all say they are protected so I can't copy them.
    So what kind of videos CAN I get on my player? It's pretty useless to have video capabilities if you can't use it at all.
    Can anyone help?
    Sign me, aggravated.

    I can't help you with iTunes, because I studiously avoid that software. But check your personal messages for more help.

  • What kind of KVM switch can I use to monitor sun rack with 490s, 245s, and

    Hi,
    What kind of KVM switch can I use to monitor sun rack with 490s, 245s, and T2000s ?
    Ushas Symon

    It sounds like the customer and server room operator are using a Microsoft/X86 mindset. There are several selling points on using RSCs & SCs. First off are the big 3 that are easy for any good server room operator to understand: cost, space & power. If you don't have to buy a 1U Tripp-lite pull out rack KVM console ($1700) and a video card for each of your SUN servers ($400, yes SUN vid cards are $$$), you start off by saving several thousand dollars.
    Next you need to let them know that you require remote access to the systems from your desk and a standard KVM doesn't allow this (with Unix, if you have to get up from your desk then its a hardware problem). They can choose to purchase a network enabled KVM, but that adds $700 to your $1700 KVM. By using the SC you will be able to administer the system remotely.
    Third, remember that SUNs do not show all the critical boot information on a frame-buffer console output. If you are in diagnostic mode during boot, the monitor doesn't show results until it completes. If some process is stuck (missing NFS or fibre-channel hard mounts, memory tests, etc) then you need to be able to see it to fix the problem. Plus, console frame-buffers only give you 25 lines of output that you can't scroll back.
    The only small hitch is security. The new SCs (on T5220s) have SSH built in, but the older V240s and V490s use telnet which some security people balk at. The solution that we used is to put the older system SCs on a private LAN. Access to that private LAN from our intranet is via a SSH enabled dual-homed (non-routing) workstation with local user accounts. We SSH to that workstation & then telnet to the SC on the relevant server. That solution allows me to access our servers that are 40 miles away, saving response time to solve customer problems. A crude diagram is below:
    your workstation------intranet------[dual homed, non-routing workstation]------[inexpensive switch]------[server SC]
    Good luck.

    I wrongly erased photos and video clips, can I retrieve them?

    Depends on how do you want to do it. If you store your backups with iCloud - try in your iPad's preferences. If you keep your stuff on your computer - plug your iPad in and launch iTunes, the photos should be there.

  • What are all the objects can be imported  and exported...

    Hi all,
    what are all the objects can be imported ..
    and what are all objects exported....in XI..
    and what is context objects and logical routing..
    Cheers,
    Raghavesh

    Hi,
    Your question 1 is not very clear. Are you taking about Export and Import under TOOLS --> EXPORT / IMPORT? If yes, all objects created in the IR and ID can be exported and improted. They are used for moving your objects from one environement to another .TPZ files.
    Individual Objects that can be improted in the IR  are those that come under
    1. External Definitions --> XSD, WSDL, DTD which acts
    as the message types.
    2. Idocs and RFC's.
    3. Imported Archives -->External Mapping progrars ( Java and XSLT ) , external .jar files etc.
    Context objects is nothing but to put in simple words an XPATH. At times XPATH can become too long and complex and to avoid typing them at different places, you create CONTEXT Objects for these path and then use them.
    Logical Routing refers to Conditional Receievr / Interface Determination where on the basis on some conditoon your target Recievr / Interface is determined.
