What program should I use to transfer Music midi files to MP3 files using Lion OS10.8.5?
I'm having a problem transferring MIDI music files from i-Tunes into use on i-Movie6? I've recently upgraded to Lion OSX 10.8.5. I never had a problem previously and I'm now wondering if I need a new program to transfer these Music files for use in i-Movie? Thanks

I feel I must move beyond iMovie, what program should I use ?
I have been happily using iMovie and iDVD from versions 1 through 6. iMovie 08 was so bad that Apple made iMovie 06 available as a free download for buyers of iMovie 08. The newer iMovies were better, but they seemed “dumbed down” (even for me). Now, I am shocked and horrified to learn that the latest iMovie does not even set chapter markers!
So, I have continued to use iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 (they seem to work fine under OS 10.9.4). iMovie 06 is now 8 years old! I feel compelled to move forward. A lot of my work is DV. In the past, most of my source material came out of S-Video. I used a Canopus ADVC300 analog-to-digital converter that gave good results. Going forward, I will have more video utilizing Component Video, or HDMI.
I am looking into 2 possibilities, Adobe Premiere elements 12, or.........Final Cut Pro X.
The final result of my work is almost always a DVD. It is hard for me to move from iMovie and iDVD. I never read the manuals for either program, yet, I was able to produce DVDs with nice menus and overall quality close to Hollywood.
It looks like Final Cut Pro X 'can' make a DVD directly without other software. However, from what I have seen on YouTube the result is primitive compared to what iDVD was doing 10 years ago.
Adobe Premiere elements 12 can make nice DVDs and Blu-ray's directly. I have no problem with using a separate program to make DVDs but I haven't got a clue how to do that with Final Cut Pro X. I suppose I can still use iDVD, but now I'm back to using discontinued software.
I do not need any of the high-powered affects capability that Final Cut Pro X possesses. My “movie-making” is mostly confined to simple editing (the old iMovie 06 did all I needed).
Frankly, one motivation for choosing Final Cut Pro X, is the excellent, compassionate and understanding support that the kind people on this very forum provide. So, what program should I use?Ziatron wrote:

to turn perspective for a second by 180°:
Why do you want to switch to a new editor anyhow?
• iM-a never did discs - that was iDVDs job = no big change in your workflow
• iDVD is still working, and aside obsolete, complex and $$$$ DVDSP (part of obsolete FC/p) or Encore (part of Adobes CC rent package) your only option left to create disks on MacOS is indeed iDVD (...ok, there's Toast and Burn and some weird 'shareware'-stuff...)..
• iMovie-b supports the new HDef formats (AVCHD) - you mentioned converters and DVDs = no HDef in use, in your habitat, correct?
• if you don't need FCPX' bling-bling (I can't imagine that ) - why not using FCPX-lite = iMovie? 15$ ...
• chapters could be done in iDVD - just to mention that ............
• AP and FCPX are following very different concepts in usage - my personal preference is 200% on FCPX, … I was one of the loudest nay-sayers, when iM08 araised, meanwhile, FCPX is my dream!! AP (tested it) is way too complex, crowded, 'optionalized' and did I mention 'complex' for me. A bit like Windows vs. MacOS: 'everything goes' (incl. getting lost) vs. 'convenience' (incl. restrictions) ... After 2y of practice, I'm editing my weekly hobby-projects with 6-cam-Multicam, incl. tons of custom graphics, slow-mow, effects (soccer games) in less than 2h ... awesome!
summary:
• why switching?
• use iMovie10 + iDVD
• Premiere (or Premiere Elements!) and FCPX are both avail as fee trial ... test it - but you need iDVD anyhow
• 'disks' is a dwindling niché, for years!- consider to switch to 'other' distribution options
... what are 'chapters' anyhow??... (kid din'!) -
I am using Linux mint 12 with firefox.
Everytime I try to type something in the search box a further box appears to tell me this is a JSON file and what program should I use to open it.
This has only happened since reinstalling my system a couple of weeks ago.
I am not really interested in what a json file is I simply want to get rid of this pop up box.Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I have always used microsoft word, we just bought a mac, what program should I now use?
You can use Microsoft Office for Mac, one of the free Office clones such as LibreOffice or Apple's iWork suite of apps. The iWork apps - Keynote (presentation), Pages (word processing & page layout) & Numbers (spreadsheet) are available individually from the Mac App Store. There are also versions for iOS available separately. And, coming this fall, iWork for iCloud.

I would like to create a document with imbedded video, to email, and airdrop to an iPad mini. What program should I use?
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
I would suggest using Apple's Pages which allows support for imbedding videos from the device's camera roll. Pages also allows for sharing via email, Air Drop, and Messages. -
What program should I use and various??
Hi friends,
I have two questions:
1) So I have finished my project...how do I fit it onto one dvd? Quicktime conversion??
2) What program should I use to burn to dvd? I have a macbook.
3) How do I make chapters on the dvd??
Thank you so much for assisting1. Export a QuickTime Movie. Do NOT use QT Conversion. Import the resulting QuickTime file into the DVD creation program. Don't worry about file size at this point. The DVD authoring application will compress and encode. You can fit about two hours of video on a single-layer DVD.
2. The simplest method is to use iDVD which probably came with the MacBook.
3. Playing the FCE Timeline, press M twice, name the chapter if you wish and click the Add Chapter Marker button in the resulting window. Then when you export, make sure to choose to include Chapter markers in the Export window. Within iDVD, I think you can also set iDVD to include a chapter marker at set intervals, but not at specific points.
Not to be snarky, but that seems like three questions...
Good luck. -
What program should i use to archive my photos ?
what program should i use to archive my photos ? i have tried aperture and the mage browsing program that comes with canon, but i just cant find the right program to be fast and efficent ! any suggestions ?
" work for a news paper so i have a large amount of photos coming and going in my system, so i need a program that is faster and more efficient that aperture"
I believe you are looking for a lightweight image browser/viewer that supports basic editing. I highly recommend Lyn and believe it is the exact program for your purposes. It is $20, but you are offered a free 30$ trial.

What programs should I use to make an interactive ebook for ipad?
What programs should I use to make an interactive children's ebook for ipad?
Adobe has a DPS add-on for InDesign (http://www.adobe.com/products/digital-publishing-suite-single.html) and it handles all the page transitions as well as swapping between portait and landscape. I think the way most people work is the pages are built in inDesign and regions of animation from EA are added second. But if every page had full screen animation, I suppose you may want to build your pages in Edge first.

What programs should I use for creating a children's ebook with animated illustration?
I'd like to create children's book for iPad with hand-drawn illustrations that are animated but in a simple way (like bubbles flying and popping). What programs should I use?
Thanks in advance,
BibiImpossible to answer, I’m afraid. There’s just not enough details here and the very fact that you’re asking tells me that you should be very careful in choosing how to get this project done.

How do i transfer music from one ipod to another using itunes
how do i transfer music from one ipod to another using itunes
Welcome to the Apple Community.
There is more than one way, but to get it all on all devices, connect the first device to iTunes and choose to transfer the music from the device from the file menu. Once everything is in iTunes connect the second device, select the device in the device list, navigate to the music tab and check the content you wish to sync, click apply/sync. -

How can I convert my music, and CDs to MP3, for use in my vehicle's AM/FM/ Stereo? I have a 16 GB SDHC Card, that I would like to load up with some of my music.
Thanks for any help you can furnish.
EdWell, this question really belongs in the iTunes forum, which is where you will get fast answers.
Just go to iTunes Preferences. Click on the General icon. Set When you insert a CD to Ask to Import CD. Click on Import Settings. Set Import to MP3 decoder. Make sure you're using Good Quality.
This should deal with your CD's.
With your current music, as long as it does not have DRM restrictions (older iTunes Music did), select the song, right click on the song (or group of songs), pull down to Create MP3 version.
