Where to download and manage video files at...

I take most my videos on my iPhone 4 now. I notice I can download them in iPhoto. They then show up in iMovie.
#1 - are they working off the same database/same files or is it copied over into iMovie?
I just purchased Aperture 3. It is supposed to work with video files.
I also do use a handheld HD video recorder on rare occasions, but haven't used it in a while to be honest.
I was pondering all this and am wondering the best way to manage my video. I use Final Cut Express for most of my video editing, although I do now use iMovie some since I purchased a macbook pro.
So I'm all over the place, I suppose. iPhoto to download, iMovie for some editing, FCE for editing, and now Aperture enters the picture.
I'm not sure if Aperture works off the iPhoto library or if I have to download it separately into Aperture.
Somewhere in this mixture, I guess I'm wondering the most simple direct way to manage my video files. What method should I import my video files: iPhoto? iMovie? Aperture? or does it matter? Do they all access the same basic structure of files or do they do their own thing and copy from one source to another?
And if I'm going to mix files from my iphone and hand held HD, I'm wondering the best way to basically download and manage video files.
Suggestions appreciated.

Saving into iPhoto certainly works. If you save it there, iMovie can access it, but iMovie will not duplicate it.
You should have the option in Aperture to have Aperture be the default application and if so, your videos would be there. Once again, iMovie can see them and edit them without duplicating them.
However, to me, the most straightforward way would be to import the movies directly from your phone into iMovie. Then you can use all the library management features of the iMovie Events.
To do this, I would open the Image Capture Utility and plug in your iPhone. You should see the iPhone listed as a device in Image Capture. Right click on this device, and select iMovie as a default application. It has been a while since I did this, so that is approximate, but it should get you there.

  • Updated to 7.0 and lost video file purchased from iTunes

    I updated my iTunes today and a video file I purchased from iTunes in February is gone. The file is still on my iPod because I have not sync'ed it yet. I know that once I do the file is lost for good. Is there a way of preserving it and putting it back into iTunes without repurchasing it?
    Thanks,

    This happened to me, but I lost all my purchased music files when I downloaded itunes 7. I should of waited, so all the bugs could be worked out, cause I lost over $100 worth of songs, and have no idea how to get them back. Anybody?

  • Storing and managing video library

    Hi, I was wondering what software people use cataloguing their video libraries.
    I am trying both FCPX and iMovie 10 and while I prefer FCPX for editing, I have a feeling iMovie might be more intuitive when it comes to managing libraries (perhaps I am mistaken).
    However what I find a bit of a nuisance is that one doesn't seem to be able to just change file names easily (to add a date to title for example) without doing it in finder, and then the 'source file missing' messages will start appearing in projects. Also you don't really have a clear overview of your files in Events (since you can't see file names). So if I want to access a video footage shot on a certain day, it seems it's much easier to go through finder...
    How do people do this?
    i have quite a lot of footage that I would like to store chronologically for easy access (some of it is from old mini dv tapes, some of it is from recent hd cameras and some from iphone, imported into iphotos) and I'd like to organize everything and have easy access to it in a chronological manner.
    I found iMovie quite frustrating to the extent that i thought it might be better to just organize raw footage in finder in folders myself and bypass imovie or fcpx altogether (and only use them for editing, when necessary). But then the time/date data might be lost once you start taking files out of imovie libraries from what I understand. So it seems one headache is replaced by another..

    i need full coding for storing and retrieve video
    files in mysql database.
    It is possible to use blob data type to save those
    data in mysql?Yes.
    Do i need any changes to the mysql?No.

  • Flash Player update 10.3 unable to download and save flv files

    Hello,
    Since the Flash Player update to 10.3.183.10 it is no longer possible for me to download and save *.flv files. A file of only 2320 kb is saved along with a meta file of 1 kb. The 2320 kb file has a flv extension but the file will not play in any of my media players. Files of mp4 type still download and play fine. The problem only occurred following the last upgrade and even though I uninstalled then reinstalled Adobe Flash Player I cannot overcome the problem. My PC runs MS Windows Vista Home Premium Version: 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002. Browser Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421.
    Your assistance would be much appreciated.
    Dibloc

    Thank you.
    The problem only occurs when downloading flv files from YouTube. For all video downloads I have been using RealPlayer and experience no problems when downloading flv files from sites other than YouTube.
    Have been able to download these files now using the site http://www.savevid.com/
    Perhaps YouTube are blocking the use of RealPlayer from downloading flv files?

  • How do I download and saves html files off my website to store and save using Dreamweaver CS3?

    How do I download and saves html files off my website to store and save using Dreamweaver CS3?
    I need to save all files from web and store onto a drive to reupload to a new domain name.  I use Dreamweaver CS3.

    First define your Local Site folder in Dreamweaver.  DW will use this folder to store your site files.
    Go to Manage Sites > New or Edit site.  See screenshots.
    Servers:  Enter your remote server's log-in details.  When complete, hit TEST to see if the connection is working.  If all is well, hit SAVE.
    From the Files Panel (F8), click on Remote Server to show the files that are currently there.  Click the green Down Arrow to GET files from remote server to your local site folder.

  • Problem Uploading and Sharing Video Files

    I just uploaded a 3.3GB h.264 Quicktime movie to Creative Cloud. It took many hours. Now that it's finished uploading, I can't figure out how to play the video while logged into Creative Cloud, despite that fact that under information it's recognized as a mov and 3.3GB. And when I try to share using the link-in-email option, my friend can't play the movie or download it. When he tries to download it, nothing connects. Creative Cloud seems to be treating this movie as a single still image or something. Suggestions as to how to solve these upload and share video problems? I have a 2011 MacBook Pro with all possible upgrades, Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. Any help here much appreciated. One of the reasons I signed on for a year with Creative Cloud was to utilize this 20GB to share video in the way I've done through Dropbox.

    Thanks for the reply, Dave, but I don't think this is the problem. I've uploaded this h.264 Quicktime (which plays fine before uploading) a few times now and cannot download or share due to a very long period of "Connecting...", then the message "Problem loading page. The connection was reset. The conection to the server was reset while the page was loading. - The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. - If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. - If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web." Then I'm given the option to "try again". This or a similar message is what others get when trying to download when I try to share the file with them using the link-in-email method, and neither I nor any of those I try to share this with are having problems with internet connectiions or downloading other large video files from the internet. The reason I suspect that Creative Cloud can't deal with downloading larger files such as this 3.3GB Quicktime is that I have no problem uploading, downloading or sharing small Quicktime movies through CC, and they are identified the same way and look the same when uploaded to CC. I also have no problem downloading much larger video files from other sites on the internet, such as feature length films that are a lot larger than 3.3GB. It seems like only things that download quickly don't time-out, regardless of what browser I'm using. Does Creative Cloud's download system rely on files being able to be downloaded quickly in full before a browser's time-out? As I've mentioned before, I have no problem uploading, downloading, sharing, etc. using Dropbox. Long explanation here, I know, but I thought all this info might help in figuring things out. Any ideas as to what's going on?

    I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file readers as well, and for some reason they won't work either. I have 5 computers running top end processors and RAM. By this I mean I have one, this one which I am using that has an AMD Phenom Black 3.2 Quad-core with 8 GBs of Corsair top DDR2 RAM, my other two AMD have either an Athlon II triple core with 4 GBs of DDR2 Corsair RAM, one with the Phenom X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-core with 8 GBs of their best DDR2 RAM, and two Intels with the i7 920 Processors using the triple channel 1366 socket processors and one with 8 GBs of low latency DDR3 RAM and the other with 4 GBs of the same RAM. I am getting the message on this one, which has a fresh install of XP Pro X64 operating system, as do the other 4 as well. I have run Avast Business Pro Anti-virus on this one, which I am getting the message on with a single result which I deleted, and also both Spybot Search and Destroy, which came back clean as well as Malwarebytes Antimalware, which got a lot of tracing cookies now removed, and SuperAntiSpware which also found a few cookies also now deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to get these files to show as .pdf files rather than as a clean blank page. One other issue is that I wish to know how to turn off my downloads so they are saved and Mozilla will give me the option of returning them instead of me losing them all together as it does now. Thanks for your assistance. If there is another Adobe reader I should download and install, could you provide me with the link to it? I appreciate your assistance here

    Thanks for the follow up.
    Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
    The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
    You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
    On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
    So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
    1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
    2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
    I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
    Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
    Best wishes,

  • Where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5 ?

    Folks,
    Hello. I am using Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Database 11g for PIA.
    Before install Oracle DB 11g into Oracle Linux 5, we need to install X Window System according to the document page 2 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32285.pdf
    But I don't know where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5.
    Can any folk provide a link to download X Window System and tutorial to install it for Oracle Linux 5 ?

    You can address the problem in a number of different ways.
    You can install X-windows from the installation DVD or setup access to the Oracle public software repository as described in http://public-yum.oracle.com. In which case, the command to install X-windows is: yum groupinstall "X Window System"
    Or, you login remotely and and use SSH with X-forwarding, in which case the software on the server will use the X-Windows server on your client system. This is probably the preferred way since you do not have X-windows installed on the server. For more details about SSH forwarding and howto, please see Install Oracle 11gR2 on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto part 2 Oracle Universal Installer.

  • Why can I no longer download and read .pdf files

    I have never had any problems downloading and reading .pdf files until I 'upgraded' the Adobe reader to version 11. Now all attempted downloads fail because "I don't have the necessary helper application or even C:\DOCUME~1\Will-o\LOCALS~1\Temp\Back Channel II - The Vietnam Betrayal - Chaps 1&2.pdf could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist.
