Where is the captured avi file ?

After capturing footage in iMovie , how do I access the raw AVI file ? It seems to be embedded in iMovie in the clips pane , but I want to access it so I can do a backup burn to DVD of the footage as a raw file .
Do i have to save it as an avi file ?

The Druid,
You can drag clips from iMovie to your desktop and they'll be copied there.
Alternatively, you can select your iMovie project and control-click or right-click and choose Show Package Contents. Your clips will be in the Media folder.
Just be careful poking around in there. It's an easy way to wreck your project if you move or delete something you shouldn't.
Also, copying your entire iMovie project file is another effective means of creating a back up of your media.

Where Are The Captured Video Files Typically Saved?

Hi:
I guess my title pretty much descibes my question, I feel like a bit of an idiot, but for the life of me I can't find them on my drive!
This iMovie is like a virus! Also, what does one do to delete all related files once the movie has been written to DVD and I don't need them anymore?
Thank you, Glenn

They are saved where YOU told iMovie to save them when you created your projects. iMovie suggests your "Movies" folder, but you may (of course) navigate around the hard drive(s) and save them anywhere.
I would at LEAST export the project back to tape before deleting it. To delete, use Finder to drag the "package" (which looks like a file) to the trash and empty the trash.

When I capture a still frame froma video in Llightroom 4.3, where does the captured frame end up?

When I capture a still frame froma video in Llightroom 4.3, where does the captured frame end up? I cannot find it. Stan

It will be right next to the movie in your library and the jpg file will end up on your hard disk right next to the movie file. You can see the actual file by right (or control) clicking on the image in the library view and selecting "show in Finder/Explorer"

Captured .avi file much shorter when imported as Premiere CS3 clip.

I'm new to Premiere CS3. My first project is to convert several old VHS tapes to DVD. My analog camcorder plays into an analog video-to-Firewire converter (ADSTech Pyro A/V Link). The Firewire digital stream was smoothly captured by Premiere and sent to my NTSF-formatted scratch disk under MS Windows XP Pro. The single .avi file (about 5 GB) plays back nicely in Windows Media Player which indicates a total length of 18min, 34sec. But when imported into a Premiere project, only the first 1min, 18sec appears.
What's up?

John--
I downloaded and ran GSpot v2.70a on my AVI file. Lot's of data!
In the GSpot "Container" window it reports these lines:
File Length Correct
DV Type 2 AVI
Multipart OpenDML AVI (5 parts)
(41160 frames in first part, -96 frames follow)
The "Video" report window says "Codec(s) are installed" with the name "DVC/DV Video." Actual length is 22m, 46.979s (which differs from my original statement because there a stretch of blank tape conversion after the actual content).
I think I'll repeat the transfer and be watching at the critical times.
Thanks for the pointer to GSpot and also thanks, Jim, for your response.

Where is the swing.properties file?

In J2SDK 1.5 beta, where is the swing.properties file.
The file is supposed to be located in <Java Home>/lib/ but it is not there.
Thanks,

I'm not sure about 1.5, but normally there isn't one. The defaults are just used unless there is one.

Just where ARE the site definition files?

I've just received CS4. I want to move it to my more powerful laptop when I install it. I know how to do that and I can move site files, but where are the site definition files? I really don't want to have to set up each site from scratch. Is there one (or more) files that are the name, url, location, id, password etc for each of the (many) sites in CS3?
don Carlos

To import/export site definitions (not site files):
On the old computer:
Site > Manage Sites
Shift click to highlight all site names
Export..
Same procedure on new computer then Import..

Can you resume an unfinished/failed Airdrop transfer? Where do the unfinished transfer files go? Thanks in advance!

Can you resume an unfinished/failed Airdrop transfer?
Where do the unfinished transfer files go?
I was 75% thru a 8 gig transfer before I had to stop. Just wondering if there's a way to resume instead of starting all over, otherwise I'll break up the files into smaller segments I transfer in the future.

Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits?

Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits? Using iMac, OS X, most recent Aperture and Lightroom 5.7 with plugin for Aperture.

Define "the Aperture files".
Read this concise guide.
The files you imported into an Aperture Library can be exported (at any time, and repeatedly) using the command "File ▹ Export ▹ Originals". Your Originals are never altered. What went in is what comes out.
Adjustments and changes to the metadata that you made since creating an Image in Aperture by importing a file are saved to a text file. This file is combined, on-the-fly, with the Original to create the Image that you see in Aperture. There is no file saved to disk that is the full-size Image. Thumbnails are saved, and Previews are saved. These are JPG files, almost always smaller than the Original. They are not substitutes for the Image for the use you have.
When you need a file of an Image to use in another program, you export the Image from Aperture. "Export" means "Make me a file of this Image according to these file specs I'm providing". The way to get files of your adjusted Images is simple: create them by exporting. Specify "Original size", and use a loss-less image-file format (e.g. TIFF 16-bit) if you want to retain as much visual information as possible.
Search the Web for information about transitioning from Aperture to Lightroom. Note that I say "transitioning". You cannot move a database from one format to another without significant changes, and likely some loss of information. Adobe provides a tool and some instructions. I strongly recommend working out the process step-by-step, and then proceeding with first a few Images, then a bushel-ful, and stopping to use the first few, the the bushel-ful, before committing your entire collection to the process.
As always, never use any computer file without having a back-up.
We have seen mixed reports here of the success of the LR tool that creates a LR database from your Aperture database.
If you want to carefully define the process, and test and refine it, use the excellent process-development, analysis, and execution program inShort.
Sadly, there is not and can never be a good, thorough re-positioning of the digital assets in your Aperture Library to become digital assets in a LR database. Just as a metaphor for any user contemplating transitioning to another digital asset manager: that would be like digging up a house in one country, planting it in a hole in another country, and expecting to be able to use the toilet and the sinks, turn on the lights, cook dinner, and sleep soundly.
HTH,
Kirby.

Captured avi file will start to play then stop

After capturing an avi file and trying to review it for editing in the timeline, the scene will start to play, but then after only 2 or 3 seconds the video stops, and the audio track contiues. This behavior began after I used a registry-cleaning product (PC Health Advisor). The avi file plays normally with video and sound in Windows Media Player. What should I do?

How to edit (split/crop) original captured avi files

I have a whole library of camcorder tapes that I want to convert. But I don't necessarily want to save all the video.
Let's say the first tape has 15 minutes of good footage that I want to preserve. Then there is 10 minutes that is not worth saving. Then another 20 minutes of video worth saving.
I capture the whole 45 minutes of tape.
How do I edit/split/crop that 45 min .avi file into two .avi files (1st 15 minutes and last 20 minutes).
I know I can edit/crop this within PE (using the full 45 min avi file). But I want to end up with two separate .avi files only saving the material I want to.
Paul

You can also export any part of a project that you want.
Let's say you have 45 minutes of footage in your timeline. You can set the workbar to span the first 15 minutes, and click File > Export. Make sure you check the option that says "workbar only" and not "entire project". Voila, you have a 15 minute DVI.
Then set the workbar to span minutes 26 to 46, export again, and you've got your 20 minute AVI.
I do this all the time.
Also, if the video you want to save is sliced into clips (15 min, 10 min, 20 min), I believe you can also just click on the clip you want to export, then click File > Export, and it will automatically export only the clip you had selected (I'm pretty sure this is possible, since I've accidentally done it - not sure of the particulars since I'm not in front of my home computer).
Would either of those work for you?
Archiving might work, too??? IOW, edit out the bad stuff, then archive your project... that might automatically create the separate AVIs for you...

No link to the local .avi files after exporting Crystal report as .pdf

Hello all,
The overall scenario is like-
My application fires a query on SQL Server database and result of that query is stored in a Dataset. This dataset is set as a datasource to the Crystal report. Now some, records (returned by the query) have .avi files(i.e. Event Videos which are stored on the local hard disk) associated with them. I have stored these .avi files in a specific path on local Hard disk say "C:/EventVideos/*.avi" .   I used a special format in these avi files name. (like - "EventVideo_1.avi" (This is for 1st event), "EventVideo_5.avi" (This is for 5th event)etc. to identify which avi is for which event. All events do not have avi files associated with them)
      Now, I take one Text Object in crystal report. Using it's Format editor created a formula for hyperlink as -
      "file:///c:/EventVideos/EventVideo_" + {DataTable1.EventID} + ".avi" .
EventID is the field of dataset which has ID's (like 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc) of all resulted events. It is of a String data type.
     Now when I export, my report as .xls, .rtf, .doc, I can open the avi files. When I bring cursor on this Text Object, cursor get change to Hand and after click on it avi file start to play.
     But if I export it as .pdf, it does not contain the link for avi files. When I bring cursor on this Text Object , it does not change to Hand, and after click on it nothing happens. No video play.
I stick to this problem. What should be done in this case?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

Where is the bookmarks.html file ?

My customers PC crashed. I try to copy the Bookmarks to a new PC. I can not find the right bookmarks.html file, only the default and th bookmarkbackups directory with those *.json files.
BTW: is there some intelligible reason, why the bookmark file of Firefox as well as the mail-directories in Thunderbird are in a directory structure hidden from the user ?!

Hiding the appdata or roaming path in Windows is Microsoft's doing, not Mozilla. Other than IE, every other browser I have ever used has stored bookmarks in their own set of folders in the appdata or roaming file path.
The bookmarks.html file hasn't been used for storing since the Firefox 2.0 versions, in later versions it is used to install the default bookmarks primarily when the user creates a new Profile and upon the initial installation of Firefox, and it also is part of the process of "importing" bookmarks from other browsers the user may have installed.
The '''places.sqlite''' file is where bookmarks and browsing history is stored in Firefox 3.0 and later versions.
See this:<br />http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
Your old Profile is located here in Vista & Win7: <br />
''drive'':\Users\''Windows login user name''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\''profile_name''
