What to use to edit mpeg videos???

Sorry, not really sure where the best place for this was, but I want to edit out the commercials of tv programs I've recorded and I'm not sure what program to use. Any help would be appreciated guys, thanks!

Converting to MPEG 4 would lose the audio was the point Dave. QT Pro is useless for any MPEG editing. MPEG Streamclip is free and superior for a lot of reasons, except mime videos.

Hi, what to use to convert mts video...?

Hi,
What do you recommend I use to convert mts video to MPEG4?
(I have MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.7)
(I am looking for something free or cheap - I found shareware Tanbee AVCH but does not seem to work.)
I have imovie to edit.
Secondly, how do you extract the audio from a video file?
Thanks!

I am using Total Video Converter on App store, which can do mkts to mpeg4. Additionally, not only can it support extract audio from video, but support multiplex video and audio into one file.

What to use for capturing online video

I just recently purchased CS3. I am only familiar with Photoshop, Dreamweaver and After Effects. And my knowledge of those is a bit limited. I don't know if this is the right forum but I want to know which tool to use and how to use it to capture online audio/video such as from a site like youtube.
Thanks,
Avian

Avian,
If you want to save YouTube videos that you have viewed, use this website: http://keepvid.com
it's free, and it is very popular.
Go to the YouTube video in question, copy the url into
memory ( Ctrl-c )
now go to the keepvid website, and paste the url into the website there ( Ctrl-V)
you'll then be given 2 options, save low res, and save high res.
the high resolution is a .mov I believe and the lower res is a .flv
After the file gets saved to your computer ( the low res file ) you must rename it to .flv ( flv is a flash movie format )
Now download a free viewer for Flv called FLV Player ( it is free and is also very popular )
http://www.applian.com/flvplayer/download_flv_player.php
That's it, you are set to go. This is the easiest way to save movies from YouTube, and is great if you wish to watch a video from time to time, without reloading it from YouTube each time you wish to watch it.
P.S. - download both versions of some videos and see if you really see a bit diffrence between the low and high res movies, sometimes there is a big difference in quality, sometimes there is no difference, it all depends on how the uploader uploaded that video.
Dave.

What do you use to edit templates?

I am new to HTML DB and I was wondering what you use to edit the templates to make the site look as you wish. I find the textboxes in HTML DB very annoying, especially since the page can scroll but the boxes too.
And there doesn't seem to be an easy way to preview what you made, so I was wondering if you use different tools to create and edit the templates.

Hello,
Any texteditor can be used to edit HTML DB templates. Editors I know people are using range fro vi to Dreamweaver. If your a little lite on HTML or CSS knowledge a visual editor like Dreamweaver would probably give you a good start. You can play with your look and feel with static pages then cut up the resulting code to make your templates.
I personally use htmlkit http://www.chami.com/html-kit/ . It's not a visual editor but it's free and it has a bunch of features for coding html , css and js and even plsql.
as for your scrolling issue try adding this into the textarea's "HTML Form Element Attributes"
style="overflow:hidden;overflow-x : hidden;overflow-y : hidden;overflow : -moz-scrollbars-none;" wrap="soft"
That suppress the scrollbars in some cases (works much better in IE than Firefox) but a textarea will inherently put scrollbars in when you add more text in than it can hold horizontally or vertically.

Which is the best MacBook for me to buy if I want to use it for digital video editing as well as Photoshop?

All the Apple MacBooks have been upgraded. I am looking for either a MacBook Pro or a MacBook that I can use to edit digital videos and do some Photoshop work. Which one would you advise me to go for? I am considering the 13”.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I recommend the 15-inch MacBook Pro if you can afford it. That's because Photoshop runs better on a dedicated graphic card, which only the 15-inch MacBook Pro includes, but it should run without any problem on a 13-inch MacBook Pro too

An Idea of What Techniques Were Used in Editing This Music Video?

hi forum,
im a music producer from japan, who has recently gotten into video editing/production.
i just wanted to ask if anyone could shed some light on the techniques that were used in editing the following video:
i know the song is horrible, but i love the animation, which i assume is a combination of photoshop and after effects?
does anyone have a basic idea of what is being done? im not looking for specific tutorials, just some insight on what direction i should head in if i want to create something similiar.
anyway, thanks for reading, looking forward to any replies!

Lots of vector art and lots of 3D tracking to get things to line up and look like they are part of the scene. You can do the same thing with Mocha and corner pin tracking but it's much easier with a real 3d tracker like Camera Tracker or SynthEyes

What type of video camera do people use to edit professionally these days?

I use to own a Mini DVC camcorder that I would edit video with in Final Cut Pro. Now since my Mini DVC camcorder broke I'm shopping for a new video camera but found myself really confused on what I need to buy for a good professional video camera at this point. It seems like DVC camcorders have been turned obsolete and now my options is a camcorder with a hard drive or a sd card in it, unless there are other options I'm not seeing at the local best buy.
I'm a little hesitant with the SD and hard drive cameras just for the fact that I would think they would be compression the video when saving it to these new formats, and I also don't know what compression scheme there using. With a DVC all I had to do is shoot the video and then hook it up to my computer via firewire and capture it, this would allow me to compress the video while I was capturing it.
With these new cameras I have no clue on what compression scheme they use and if there even a good option for good professional video editing. I'm not looking to spend to much money, I was hoping I could get something between $200 - $400 tops, but I wouldn't spend this type of money till someone gave me a little advice on what format is right to use with computer video editing these days.
Any advice or recommendations would be very appreciated. If the price is right I would take standard definition (just for the fact that my Mac is a G4 and I don't really think it can do HD video that well), but if I could have an option to later shoot in HD that would be very helpful to.

With a DVC all I had to do is shoot the video and then hook it up to my computer via firewire and capture it, this would allow me to compress the video while I was capturing it.
DV video, recorded onto DVC (Digital Video Cassette) tapes, would NOT be compressed during capture. DV, DVCam and DVCPro (all varieties of the DV25 codec) is compressed 5:1 when recorded to tape. When you capture, all that happens is a straight digital transfer of 1s and 0s from the tape to your computer. No further compression was taking place.
What type of video camera do people use to edit professionally these days?
All types. Everything from Flip cameras to HDCam SR.
I'm a little hesitant with the SD and hard drive cameras just for the fact that I would think they would be compression the video when saving it to these new formats
You'd better get over that ... tape-based recording is going the way of the audio cassette.
I also don't know what compression scheme there using
Now you've hit upon what I consider to be the main problem with non-tape cameras; many manufacturers have taken to using codecs that were originally designed for final delivery, like H.264. So they need to be converted to an editable format PRIOR to editing. That's probably the reason that Apple developed the ProRes family of codecs. It's definitely a change in workflow. The other real issue I have with non-tape recording is the lack of a decent archive method. With tape you had a built-in archive medium; the tape itself. But with the new card-based recording, your archive options are limited and more expensive than tape.
If the price is right
And what price would that be? What's your budget?

What software should I use for editing videos from a Vixia HF R500?

I have a VIxia HF R500. What editing software should I use. I am a beginner.

Hi OM45GTR!
Thanks for posting.
Depending on what platform you are editing on, you may consider programs like Windows Movie Maker or Apple's iMovie.

Best Quality Export Settings in MPEG Streamclip to Edit HD Video in iMovie

Hi,
I import video from data DVDs and regular DVDs and edit the videos in iMovie. In the past, I've always used MPEG Streamclip because it can read the native DVD VOB format. I then use the "Export to DV" option in MPEG Streamclip which exports a .DV file readable by QuickTime or iMovie. These are large files, but it is my understanding that this is best quality for editing.
Now I have started to receive HD Videos. When I use MPEG Streamclip the same way, it reduces the HD video into a windowbox 720x480 video loosing all HD resolution.
I've done some research online and apparently MPEG Streamclip's DV export options are pretty limited and other people have said to use the "Export to MPEG-4" or the "Export to QuickTime" which are more configurable. Each of these requires a Compression Codec Selection. Some have said to use H.264, but I've also read that you should not compress with H.264 if you're going to be doing editing.
I do not care about file size, I want maximum quality. The incoming DVD video is 1280 x 720 (HDTV 720p), what Compression selection do I select in MPEG Streamclip for "Export to MPEG-4" or "Export to QuickTime" to maintain the best quality for editing in iMovie? I appreciate your help!

Use Apple Intermediate Codec for best quality and best editing performance.
If you have Final Cut Pro installed, you may have additional good options like ProRes 422.

Mpeg video editing in iMovie

I am new to a Mac and have downloaded mpeg video files for editing in iMovie from my PC. I have bought the QT component so that I can view the video on the Mac, which I could not do before, but I cannot import into iMovie. What do I need to do to edit my movies? I am very fustrated that I cannot do this.

Get MPEG Streamclip (which is free) and convert your clips to Apple Intermediate Codec. Then use File/Import to import into iMovie.

Can someone suggest an affordable external hard drive for use with FCPX and video editing on my Macbook Pro Retina

I have a Macbook Pro Retina from 2012 and I only got the 250GB hard drive. I'm getting ready to purchase a Panosonic HC-X920 to use with Final Cut Pro X already installed on my laptop. Since I know the file sizes are going to be so big, can anyone suggest an affordable external drive fast enough to keep up with editing the video? I'm not a pro and use it for family and personal projects.
I prefer some thunderbolt options since I haven't had a chance to use the inputs since I got my macbook pro. I just don't know what is necessarily too little or too big and too cheap and too expensive for my needs. Thank you.

OWC is a Mac specialist and a very trustworthy vendor. I have dealt with them and their technical stall on many occasions. Hence you may look at what they offer and be assured that they will stand behind what they sell:

I suspect that for your needs, a 1 TB drive is going to be the minimum.

What is Ideal settings on camera, video editing & DVD authoring?

What is ideal setting to capture video on DSLR, then edit & author; using adobe elements 12? I did previous projects with1280 x 720 and above; then had a challenge with video taking foever when authoring; using same settings; i then adjusted output to 720 x 576; concern now is slightly impared quiality on final product. Please advise!

It depends on what format and resolution your DSLR is shooting. Most DSLRs have several options.
At 1280x720, it shouldn't take forever to transcode to DVD. Certainly no longer than the running time of the movie. If your project settings match your video specs.

What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?

What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?
I writed to Panasonic Italy support about this question:
"What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?"
Panasonic writed me in a very poor manner and said me:
"...riproduce formati: AVCHD (anche 3D), SD-Video, DivXHD, JPEG, MP3, AAC tramite USB e Slot SD/SDHC/SDXC card..."
"...formato : AVCHD estensione file nella SD: .MTS..."
I made a few videos edited with PremiereProCS5 and exported as H.264 Coding and .mp4 file extension, all side by side, with layout 1920x1080pixels that includes two stretched frames at 960x1080 pixels.
This is the same image layout that uses the Panasonic 3D consumer camcorder "HDC-SDT750", that record AVCHD videos with file extension .MTS.
I also tried to export another video as MPEG2 with .mpg file extension.
But at the store the tests failed, and I cannot see anything!
My questions are:
1) What format can be used by PremiereProCS5 for exporting the Stereoscopic 3D videoclip and play them via USB port on Panasonic TVPlasma3D such "TX-P46VT20"?
2) What codec should be used? H.264? H.264-bluray?
3) What file extension should have the movie file? .mp4?
Many Thanks!
Horsepower0171.

-I already read entirely those threads, but nothing about stereoscopic 3D AVCHD movies through USB port, on Panasonic TVPlasma3D.
(Also, Sony said me that is not possible to play 3D videos on your 3DTV through USB port).
I tried to made a H.264 videoclip, with .MP4 extension, at 960x1080p side-by-side layout, but nothing was displayed, and black screen.
I think that just the AVCHD movies, with .MTS extension, that comes from Panasonic consumer camcorder "HDC-SDT750", can play the 3D videos via HDMI cable, not USB port.
But not the exported videos from PremierePro via USB port.
I seen this tutorial from David K Helmly:
http://www.youtube.com/user/dhelmly#p/a/u/1/_YtF0c2bmkw
Dave export the video from PremiereProCS5 as "MPEG2-bluray" format with "Match Source Attributes (HighQuality)" Preset, and build the Bluray Disc in EncoreCS5, with the footage as MPEG2 with .m2v file extension:
1) Anyone tried to play correctly in 3D, those MPEG2-.m2v side-by-side files, in Panasonic3DTV, with BlurayDiscReader?
2) Why MPEG2.m2v side-by-side?
3) The official standard stereoscopic 3D format, is not the .MVC (MultiViewCoding) for Bluray3D Disc?
I am confused!
Help!
