Where should I be saving my video clips?

I have hundreds of video clips from my camcorder and iphone.
I've compiled a few of them into short videos in imovie of around 200MB and play them back via itunes on apple TV (and ideally would also like to play them via my ipod).
Where should I be storing the videos - presumably in imovie? I could also store them in iphoto (where they initially get downloaded to) or itunes.
When I convert them to itunes, am I saving two 200MB versions - one in imovie and one in itunes?
Thanks in advance

Yes. Store everything. Hard drives are at 10 cents a gigabyte or less.
You need an external drive that is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). (also called HFS+ journaled). If your drive is a FAT32 drive, you can repartition/reformat using Disk Utility.
All moves should be made from within iMovie. If you do not, your projects will not work.
In iMovie, click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK.
You should see your disk drive listed in the Event Library List and the Project Library List. You can Command-Drag the small icons for the Events onto the small icon for the drive, and this will move them. (If you do not hold dowm the command key while dragging, it will copy, not move).
You can do the same command-drag action in the Project Library List.
A slick way to have a complete copy on external disk is to first command-drag the Project to the external disk (as mentioned above. Then, with this Project selected in the Project Library List, click FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA... This will move all Events that are used in the Project to the same external disk. It will also put a copy of any photos or music used on the external disk, so you can take the external disk and edit on another Mac if you need to.

Can I Block Saving of Video Clips?

I have video clips (MOV files) on a website which icons in a PDF that I built can link to and open (to clarify: the icons are actually just virtual boxes around icon pictures that were in the Word doc from which it was built). Usually, the MOV files open in a web page (that's good enough), and the user can right click on them and save them (that's bad); note: my default browser is Foxfire.
However, I notice that if I have MS Internet Explorer open (but only if I have it actually open), the MOV files open in their own Quicktime window (good!), and the user cannot click on them and save them (great!). Is there any way I can force this desired behavior when I build the PDF?
(Note that the consumers of the PDF will have it resident on their local PC.)
Thanks for your help!

I have just learned (as a side issue consulting with a godaddy.com tech) that this is a function of the user's browser and how it's configured. So it seems I can do nothing from within Acrobat to force the behavior I desire. However, according to this tech, SWF files are harder to simply save to the users hard drive. (Doubtless anything can be hacked, but these not sophisticated users, and I intend to remove the restriction later anyway.)
So... is there a way to convert MOV's to SWF's? I notice that lots of products on the web claim to do that, but are there any you would recommend, not only as one capable converting MOV to SWF with little loss of information, but as most likely safe (i.e., not be a hidden way to deliver malware)?
Thanks.

Where should I store my personal video's?

Good afternoon,
I have recently invested in a MacBook Pro Retina display and I am immensely pleased with the display. I have enjoyed categorising my pictures in iPhoto but want to know what is the best programme for storing my personal videos?
Thanks in advance,
Sean

there is no "images" folder in that location, should i create it?
Yes. There isn't one there because you haven't used any custom icons.
i know the stuff in the root is sytem settings but im never sure
where to look for stuff, there seems to be no pattern and some
things seem to be duplicated. cubase only used to look at plugins
ones in the root. why are plugins classed as system settings it
doesnt make sense? there wil only ever be one user of my
machine, me, it would be simpler for my tiny mind if everything
was in one place.
It's quite simple. If you want plugins to be available for all users, put them in the system location. if you want different sets of plugins for different users, then use the user locations.
If you are only the single user on your machine, then it doesn't really matter where there go. If you want to keep them tidy then move them into one or other loaction and always use that from now on.

How to play a GP video clip on a PC

I cant play a GP video clip sent to me on my pc what download do i need and where can i get them

With "GP video clip" are you referring to the .3gp files that phone cameras usually save videos as?
If so, the Nokia PC Suite comes with a "View multimedia" app that can show them on Windows:
http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite
Apple's QuickTime player can also show the videos (on a PC running Windows or a Mac).
I should think that the latest RealPlayer can do it on PC's, too.

Browser Freeze on video clips

So ive recently have started having problems with my computer where i will be watching a video clip and after a random amount of time the video will just freeze then i my browser stops responding. I have to use task manager to kill the browser and when i start surfing the web again i can do everything except watch videos. The only way i have found to fix this problem is to reboot the computer and just hope that i can finish watching my show before it freezes again. I very strongly believe that it is flash because it only does this whenever there is a video clip being played. Ive also narrowed this down thinking that it was my computer registry or something so a few nights ago i did a format and then a clean install of windows 7 64 bit. Ive read that sometimes it is the antivirus software that causes this so when i reinstalled my os i didnt install any virus protection yet, before i was using avg though. I usually use firefox 3.6 when using the web but ive noticed that it crashes in IE and chrome. Ive included a screen capture of my extensions and plug ins for firefox to help out, anything else you want to know you just ask.
Thanks for all your help in advance

Hi ae58, you are the second person within the last couple of hours that recommended the Advanced System Care Registry Cleaner.
Adobe has the Uninstaller procedures and the Install procedures for the Flash Player. As long as users follow them,
they should not have any problem.
Using Registry Cleaners are a risk greater than any benefit unless one is an Advanced User or an expert. I have
read all of the Microsoft Engineers and Registry Experts and they do not recommend them at all. In fact they state that
beginning with XP and forward there is no need for them.
Additionally, Adobe has information about 3rd party "Flash Player" cleaners also. And it appears "In some cases these
tools can actually cause further Flash Player problems."
So, as I mentioned on another thread where Advanced System Care was suggested, we'll just see what the real issue is
with the person that took the time to start this thread.
Glad you didn't have any lasting damage using them though.
Regards,
eidnolb

Video clip from a Canon A70 camera

Where to go?
Took a video clip with a Canon A70 camera and plug it in and iphoto opens but there's no photos to download because it's a video clip and the computer doesn't recognize the alien format.
Have a couple programs that came with the camera as well as media edit pro for editing etc, but when trying to find the file it doesn't show as available anywhere when searching for the file to import from or I'm looking in the wrong place, but figure it's still connected only through iphoto and it doesn't recognize any data in the camera.
Some info available from Canon that some files can't be accessed direct from the camera with osx so I'm obviously missing something and when it's plugged in so I need something else, it mentioned a different program to get the info or accessing the info from a card reader instead of the camera which doesn't appear to have any settings to change where or how it's meant to go. (Suggested possible in Canon's info with some cameras)
Any clarification whats the simplest (cheapest) method needed to make this work? to move it to one of the programs that can edit it etc. imovie 3.0.3 in my case or whatever else I have to eventually post it on a web page etc.
(can't afford to buy an actual video camera etc.)
I'm guessing I can't use the camera a web cam either, not that I thinking about it with lots of cheap junkers out there that'll clip on, but it still might be an alternative to buying one.
I'm a bit of an illiterate computer hack so don't know what I'm doing, but usually can eventually figure some stuff out.....

The finder preferences are still set to show external media, but the Camera doesn't show up on the desk top, it just keeps opening iphoto as selected in the system preference as to do when a picture CD is inserted,
Quitting iphoto doesn't make the camera appear on the the desk top and the camera doesn't work at all when iphoto is quit or connect with the usb, I trying to get the computer to recognize the video data by turning on the video, but camera won't run the video while connected and when disconnecting and reconnecting it just runs iphoto again, no matter what I do.
The camera sends a signal for the computer to recognize it as a picture CD and opens iphoto, (when you insert a picture CD - "Open iPhoto")
The question would be how to get it to recognize it as a DVD or other media as possibly possible in those preferences and what application to use. of which it appears I don't have anything available when looking at "open other application" or choosing "ignore" or "run script" which I have no idea what to do with.
Though presume that maybe I should turn off the picture CD preference off by choosing ignore to keep iPhoto from opening, but then it might possibly just ignoring the camera all together unless something else is chosen or I'm just wasting time on something that will never work......

Self-made video clip does not play completely on website

I have a short video clip [1:22 minutes/40.6 MBs] taken using my Canon Sureshot camera and mounted on one of my webpages. It plays fully in iWeb's publishing site but after uploading it to my domain host's internet, the video only plays half way. The play icon moves but there is no advancement of the clip or sound.
I contacted the domain host provider and they have not been too helpful other than to suggest uploading to YouTube in order to get a weblink. I would prefer the video clip on the page rather than a weblink.
There is speculation my web space is full to capacity, but it has not been verified. If there is enough web space, what is the key factor I should know to have this video clip playback in its entirety once it has been uploaded to the internet. My FTP program indicates it has been uploaded successfully in the Directory, Media, Scripts and Hypertext files.
I'm not a high-level techie, but still want to have videos on my website as I see on many others. It may mean upgrading for more web space. Before I do, I thought I would check it out with the support group to see if there is a solution to uploading successfully a video clip to play in its entirety.
The webpage link is: http://thebigbenmemorialtrail.ca/New_Scouting_Team.html — the video is still mounted for the purpose of my seeking help.
Many thanks, in advance.

Thanks, Old Toad,
I know what you are referencing. I just never go to that folder but that is where I do publish the site prior to uploading it onto the internet using the FTP.
And, it is when I have published the updated pags to the the Local Folder, the video plays perfectly well.
Soooo, it must be all about restricted bandwith that I am currently using with my domain web host ISP, which is a shared bandwidth. Economics affect me as a volunteer therefore cannot afford the higher speed which is not a shared bandwith.
To add to my demise, I have issues with signing on to YouTube through my Google account. Try to sort that one out is impossible. Tried for hours but all to no avail to get signed in. So I can't upload my videos which is too bad for my website.
Will chat further with my domain host and see what other options are available to me.

When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

When you move or copy the compound clips with their events into an external drive all the events should be there. Not clear on why you want to move them into a single event. You can drag and drop from one event to another.
Why are you using compound clips? You can simply copy the project from each machine with used media onto the external drive and that should do it.

Where on the Mac Pro do I find my video clips?

Is there an Icon i should activate? New user attempting to navigate photos and video clips.

I found them using the spotlight. But, shouldn't they "be someplace?" Do i make a folder?
In some ways it should not be much different than Windows. Using Spotlight is like using Windows Desktop Search: It only finds stuff that's already stored "someplace"! So your clips are already on the disk in folders.
Here's what you want to do. If you used the Spotlight icon on the menu bar to find the file, select the file in the search results that drop down and press Command-Return. This will open the file in its enclosing folder, showing you exactly where the file is stored on your desktop.
If you used the File/Find command in the Finder (another way of using Spotlight), the results show up in a Finder window (the same as a folder window on a Windows desktop). There, you can select the file and choose File/Open Enclosing Folder (or press its Command-R shortcut).
Furthermore, if you can see a clip in iMovie you can find out where it is stored on the disk. In the Event Library in iMovie, simply right-click the clip and choose Reveal in Finder, and, once again, the clip will be shown on the desktop in the folder it is stored in.
Notes: If you are not using a right-click mouse with your Mac, you can get the right-click menu by Control-clicking or configuring your trackpad to right-click. Also, the "Reveal in Finder" command is very similar to the "Show in Explorer" command in Windows. Again...it is more like Windows than you think, don't let yourself be intimidated.

How can I blend two video clips where they join side by side in one movie?

Hello Marvelous Movie Making Minds,
I am working with Adobe Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 machine.
How can I blend two video clips where they join side by side in one movie?
I know how to place two or more video clips together in the same movie, but how can I give them a bit of a blend just where they join?
I have a PDF instruction manual and the built-in web browser instructions. In the instruction manual in "Chapter 7: Superimposing and Compositing" it talks about the transparency of any video clip, and I understand that... but I don't want to make one or the other video clip transparent anyplace except where the two video clips join together with perhaps a bit of overlap.
I'd like to make a little blur just where the two videos join in the middle... is this possible?
Thanks,
digi

Aha that kind of blending.
Have not used 6.5 in a loooooooong time.
So this is from memory, hope i get this right.
Set the two clip on top of each other
Make a matte in Photoshop and superimpose this over the two clips.
Go to the Transparancy Settings and set the top clip in video 2 to Alpha key.
Screendump for matte:
The right side is made black just for the forum but should be transparant.

How should I organise my video clips?

I don't take video seriously, just have some video clips from my digital camera. What is the typical way of storing video clips? I have music, TV shows and movies in itunes, photos in Lightroom. Is iPhoto good for managing video clips, and are they then accessible from iMovie?

Please have a look at my post at:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5649660?tstart=0
where I describe what files should be present for iMovie 9 to work for someone else with a similar problem. They must either be in the users Movies folder on the start up drive or at the root level of any other partition or connected external drive.

Where should my videos go?

I recently upgraded my Hard Drive from 80 to 500Gb. In the past I have stored my video clips of my kids, from my cannon elph point and shoot camera, on an external hard drive, not on my Macbook hard drive. But, I find that I never see the video because of it being on an external drive. Now, since I have so much room on my internal hard drive, I am thinking it would be nice to be able to have all my videos in one place, where they could be viewed, edited and created in to a family movie, etc. I would like to move them to my internal drive, unless that is a bad idea>? Here is my question: should I put all the movies into iPhoto, where my photos are currently? Should I put all the movies into iMovie08? Should I buy iLife09 and put them in iMovie09 (is there a noticeable difference for a beginner between iMovie08 and iMovie09)? Should I wait for iMovie10? Should I try some other movie software that will be a good library for my video? It is only movies of my kids, I am not making a hightech hollywood type film. Just a dvd for the grandparents. Is there an application that I can use that will store and organize both movies and videos? Then everything is in one place? So, in a nutshell... where should I keep my videos? Please advise and thanks for listening.

Try user folder/Movies.
