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 take out white background in elements 12?

    Try this:
    Open the program and go to Expert tab
    Double click the background layer to convert it to a regular layer
    Get the magic wand tool out of the toolbox. On the tool's option bar, check "contiguous" or leave it unchecked depending on the presentation of the white background. Start with tolerance setting 32; you may have to adjust it down - - depends on picture
    Left click on a white area and hit delete on keyboard
    Press CTRL+D to get rid of the marching ants

  • HT1349 I have suddenly lost the whole of my iTunes library, with the exception of music that I have bought and downloaded from iTunes Store.  It was all there yesterday and I haven't altered anything, as far as I know!

    I have suddenly lost the whole of my iTunes library, with the exception of music that I have bought and downloaded from iTunes Store.  It was all there yesterday and I haven't altered anything, as far as I know!  I hope it's something quite simple?
    Apologies, but none of the communities listed seems to fit this question - so I'm taking pot luck!

    For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work

  • PE 13: What is the best way to cut out an unwanted segment and leave a fade-out/fade-in overlap?  Without multi-track overlaps?

    I have a long video segment and want to remove unwanted segments and replace them with fade-in/fade-out transitions.  I know that I can do this between two separate video tracks by fading out Video 1 and fading in Video 2 and having the two tracks overlap during the transition.  Is there an easy way to do this on the same track?  The way I've done this before is to cut out the unwanted segment, then move the two segments to separate tracks and overlap them.
    To compound the problem, I have a separate audio track for the wireless microphone I'm wearing. I need to pull that into the fade transitions.  So that's Video 1 and Audio 1 with Narration, all cut at the same time with overlapping fade-out/fade-in in the fewest steps.  Can Premiere Elements 13 handle that?

    Add On...I am weighing the merits of applying an audio transition directly below the video transition. Considering Crossfade's  Constant Gain or Constant Power with a forced alignment of Between Clips. According to Adobe documentation
    Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Applying transitions to clips
    Adobe Premiere Elements includes two audio transitions in the Crossfade category: Constant Power and Constant Gain. Though both provide fades, they differ slightly. Constant Power creates a smoother-sounding fade, while Constant Gain, though mathematically linear, often sounds abrupt.

  • 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 strip out the css from a page?

    recreate it with tables and uncheck the 'use css instead of
    html tags' box in dw's preferences?
    thanks.

    Hey Joe,
    Sadly, it's something you'll have to do by hand. The Tables
    -> CSS conversion is pretty painless but I've never seen it work
    the other way properly. You're best to just copy and paste the
    content into tables.
    It's too bad that your client needs it CSS free, tables are a
    horrible way to deliver content but ... if the man signing the
    check needs it done that way ... :(

  • What's the easiest way to run a mainstage sound without the laptop?..midi sampler rack?

    Heya Guys!
    I use just ONE logic/Mainstage sound live. From the EXS25
    I would like to use this live WITHOUT having to take the laptop onstage or on tour with me for that matter.
    I used to run Korg keyboards but MISS the mainstage/logic sound.
    So can i export the patch into a logic supported sampler rack mount and run it with a cheap midi keyboard?
    Any other options??
    my reasons are, everythings getting trashed onstage. smashed laptop screen and now a dented up Korg keyboard.
    I would love to take JUST a cheaper style midi keyboard onstage.
    would love any suggestions

    EXS24 is a sampler, so a sound from that could be imported into a hardware rack mount sampler.
    BUT, this is not just an export-import move.
    Depending on what sound you are using, and how complex that sound is, it could take anywhere from 10 minutes to several hours to transfer the sound to another sampler.
    Some sounds only have a single sample covering the whole keyboard, but some of them have many many samples, mapped to different key ranges and velocity layers.
    There are programs, like Translator Pro from Chicken Systems that can do this transfer, but you may not want to invest in a program like this just to transfer one sound.
    What sound are you wanting to use?

  • What's the easiest way to consolidate photo libraries without losing the events and folders they are organized into?

    I'm working with several computers and don't want to reorganize photos when I transfer them. Is it doable? And why are there different photo libraries listed than I did not create?
    Ideas?

    By 'consolidate' do you mean 'merge into one'?
    If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
    Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager

  • 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 is the easiest way to copy individual photos from a pc to ipad?

    what is the easiest way to copy individual photos from a pc to ipadair 2?  I have been told that transferring via itunes creates one mass file from which individual photos cannot be manipulated.

    Photos synced from iTunes cannot be deleted one at a time if that's what you mean. They can be manipulated, if manipulated means editing or moving them into folders that you create on the iPad in the photos app.
    I agree with Procyon256 that emailing is probably the easiest way for one at a time, but there are also WiFi transfer apps that are pretty nice for this purpose, I use this one.

  • 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.

    Does this software do what you want?

  • Pusblish Abode Connect meeting records (.flv) over Adobe Media Server - What is the easiest way?

    Hi,
    my name is Robin Schröder. I am a member of the univertity “Hochschule Hamm Lippstadt” from Germany.
    We r using the adobe connect already. We wanna create offline videos of meeting records and publish them over adobe media server. The offline videos are in the .flv format.
    Do I have to convert the .flv into mp4 (h264 & AAC) before streamable with hds and hls?
    I read about f4fpackager that this program can convert .flv into .f4m – but it failed with error 999….. I checked the .flv file with flvcheck before: success!
    The sample Video worked fine.
    So my question:
    We wanna publish all .flv recordings over the Adobe Media Server (VODs). What is the easiest way to achieve this?
    Convert .flv in a streaming format (mp4?) - HOW?
    Create multi-bitrate versions from the video - HOW?
    Create f4m file for adaptive bitrate streaming - manually?
    Publish hds & hls URL in the html site (decryption for url possible?)How can I realize a iPad/iPod/iPhone switch in the html Code for HLS/HDS switch?
    Thanks!

  • Whats is the easiest way to store and retrieve files using a DB?

    Hello,
    I have a web application where my users need to upload and retrieve files(.doc, .ppt. excel). I want to store them in the database instead of on the server. Anyone have any ideas on the easiest way to do this?
    Thanks,
    Danny

    Well, there's a BFILE data type-- that allows you to store essentially a pointer to a file in the database, though the file itself would be stored externally.
    A better option would be to store the data either as interMedia Text or as a B/CLOB, so all the data from the file would be stored in the file. interMedia Text gives a number of benefits if you're going to be working with the data-- i.e. searching the data, etc, but the additional work & restrictions may not be worth it if you just want to get the data in and out of the database whole.

  • HT3529 easiest way to print out my text messages from one person

    I would love to know the easiest way to print out my text messages from one person, how can I do that?
    I just did the last IOS updated, I'm not sure the number after it

    Printing from the iPhone either requires an AirPrint compatible printer, or an app from the App Store. You would have to search to see if they are free or cost. Also, the printing of text messages would either require you to make a screen shot of the message and to print that as a photo, or you would need a 3rd party software on the computer to copy the entire message to the computer and print from there. There is no native print capability for entire message threads.

  • What is the easiest way to convert .MTS files for use in Final Cut Express

    I initially downloaded my Sony Alpha7 files into iMovie. As the production requires a little more professional software I then tried to import files into Final Cut Express. As these are now .MTS files what is the easiest way of converting them?

    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'm running out of HD space.
    Thanks a lot,
