Software :: Broken Clips Upon Ingest?

Feb 8, 2009

I shoot weddings (among other things) for my business and I ingest about 10 to 14 tapes each wedding. 3 camera shoot. I have been having 7 or 8 second clip breaks upon ingest. So, a one hour, uninterrupted recording gets broken into several clips in Final Cut Pro. Let me stress (cause I'm pretty stressed :-) that this is not timecode breaks. It is a whole clip break. One long 60 minute recording gets broken up into several clips for no reason and the gap between them in FCP is about 7 seconds of missing footage.

My set up is 2 Canon XHA1's over firewire to 2008 8 core Mac, 14 gigs ram, four internal drives (about 3TB) I capture to 1.5 TB drive (internal) that is used only for capture. It happens on any of the drives. FCP 6 (all system and software updates are made).

The footage plays back just fine in the camera. The broken areas of the clips can recapture from the camera just fine, even in Capture Magic (which stops for nothing). So it is not damaged tape or dirty heads (just had them serviced). It seems like the system gets overloaded somehow (which it shouldn't) let's say it "farts" or something..... and drops 7 seconds upon capture and starts a new clip. The system is left alone during capture as well. I have lived with this problem for a long time and editing (multicam) takes FORVER as I have to constantly resync the media at every break. The breaks are random. Clips from a one hour recording can 2 minutes long or 10 minutes. What is really funny is that the ceremony has the least breaks.go figure that out?

Sorry to be long winded. Trying to be accurate because there are so many variables in this subject. Honestly I know this forum is filled with so many helpful people but I am at such a wits end (backed up with editing cause of this problem) I would happily send a PayPal payment to anyone who posts something that solves the problem.I don't want to insult the natural helpfulness of this forum. I just want to really honor the person that gets me out of this jail I am in.

Final Cut Pro X :: Editing Compound Clips - Earlier Clips On Timeline Missing

Jun 20, 2014

I have been editing compound clips and when I get half way through i notice early clips in the timeline are missing.  So if there is clips ABCD in a connected clip, it will be now AC and the other clips are now gone.  I've pressed undo until i saw when they were deleted and it seems when i'm selecting clips later in the timeline it selects earlier clips and deletes them with the clips i want to delete.  This is causing a major headache as it seems to be random, I can't replicate it on demand, but it happens eventually in ever compound clip I create.  I haven't noticed it while editing a project.

Oct 13, 2010

I have recently started learning to how to use FCE. I've got quite far with my first project and am at the point where I want to move some clips around the timeline. I do want to move clips inbetween other clips, rearranging their order, not deleting them. But whenever I drag a clip to fit splice in between two other clips, it just deletes whats underneath.

OS X :: Converting Certain .AVI Clips With Audio?

Feb 26, 2009

I'm not entirely sure which might be the correct forum for this question, not sure if i have the right spot but,..here goes..If someone can't be of help, please direct me to the correct forum.

I do a lot of media conversion from various formats using QT, VLC Player, Video Converter for Mac, Cleaner, Mpeg Streamclip, Sorenson Squeeze, Visual Hub, etc

Quite often i still run into (PC created) .avi clips that simply WILL NOT export/convert with SOUND, they will only PLAY with sound on the VLC Player but cannot seem to be converted into any kind of format WITH sound. I'm assuming this is some kind of codec issue but since i only know the clip as an .avi (and some AVI's convert fine including Divx and Xvid, others don't) and have no known way of analyzing the clip i don't know how to convert it.

OS X :: How To Download Clips From YouTube

Oct 29, 2009

I did have a way to download clips from YT, but I forget how it worked.

I think it was an app, which added a download button on the webpage itself.

Can anyone remind me how it's done.

I hope I'm allowed to ask this - so mods please delete if not allowed.

It's only so I can see some karate tutorials offline.

Software :: Clips Don't Open In WMV Or QuickTime?

Sep 23, 2007

Sometimes, I get e-mails that contain clips that show a QuickTime icon and the letters WMV. They used to open automatically when clicked on. For the last few months, they don't. I get an error message:The movie could not be opened. It has a QuickTime icon on a yellow triangle and an exclamation point.

If I drop the clips on the Windows Media Player icon in the dock, they do open. Not so on the QuickTime icon.

Evidently, I have done something that causes the clips not to open automatically as before.
I've checked both WMP and QT preferences, but I do not see anything, as far as I know, that would have caused the change.

Software :: Making Movies With DVD Clips?

Oct 29, 2007

I was hoping someone here might know how/if I can use iMovie to create a presentation of various movie clips?

I don't know if it can be done with iMovie, but I've seen videos people have made by piecing together different scenes from movies, sometimes adding music... that sort of thing.

If iMovie can't do it, is there another program I can use? And if iMovie can, is it pretty simple to do a project like that?

I have iLife '06, I think. It's either '06 or '07. I also have Flash and Powerpoint. I don't know if those could work.

As you can tell, I'm a complete greenhorn when it comes to this.

Applications :: IMovie Pause After Clips?

Dec 6, 2010

I've been having an issue with the latest iMovie and it's Trailers feature. When I've added the clips and play it through, after the majority of clips there's a slight pause before the transition to the next clip. It's noticeable and annoying.

I've tried with clips from various sources and resolutions but it doesn't seem yo make any difference.

If I switch clips around and keep playing and switching, it'll eventually play with no problems.

Has anyone else bad this problem.

OS X :: Resizing Video Clips Possible / IMovie HD

Jul 18, 2009

Recently I decided it'd be fun to put together a movie and while I've slowly been getting used to IMovie HD (first time using it 'properly'), I still haven't been able to "master" it yet. I was wondering whether it's possible to resize some of the clips I have? Some of the clips are different sizes and my intention is to publish the movie on something like YouTube or similar. I don't know if YouTube does this automatically? I don't remember it like that.

I don't want to have varying sizes of the clips when I send it to my friends, either, so. Can I resize the clips so they're all the same size? Can I do that in iMovie HD, or anything else on my Mac? Or do I have to download another piece of software to do this? Also, I'm not looking to spend any money on a professional editing program so please bear that in mind. The movies are in Quicktime MPEG-4 format if that's helpful.

OS X :: 6 Hours To Burn 2 750MB Clips To A DVD?

Jan 3, 2010

That is what iDVD is reporting... This could be a really horrible prediction or otherwise accurate?

To top it off... the CPU is around 80-83C and CPU usage is at 100% almost.

I don't understand why it would take this long to burn 2 simple .avi 750 MB clips to a DVD?

Is Toast any faster than this?

I'm also curious why my files appear to be 7GB on the disc when they are only 750 MB a piece? I had to change it from "Best Performance" to "Pro Quality" or something... which didn't make sense for Pro Quality to take only 4.1 gigs on the disc.

Can someone explain this to me or at least tell me if this is all normal?

OS X :: Importing Clips Into IMovie - Won't Work

Jan 24, 2010

I want to import some clips into iMovie (not from a camera, but a file) and it just won't work! The programme goes through all the steps, but in the end there is no file in iMovie; it just says 'No matching video'. I've checked the folder where clips should go (movie events --> eventx) and the clips have been moved to there, so why won't it show up in iMovie? It's driving me mad! Do the clips have to be a certain length (i remember that in iMovie 04 they had to be under 9minutes) or do they have to be a certain format? [I've been using .avi files.]

Final Cut Pro X :: How To Synchronize Clips From Timeline

Jun 30, 2014

Is there any way to synchronize clips from the timeline? I understand that there is a way to synchronize from the Project Library but it makes more sense for me to sync from the timeline. If there just isn't a way to sync from timeline, is there a way to put all the clips from the timeline into the Project Library so I can do it there? 

I have been using pluralize but wanted to see if I can skip all those extra steps of exporting and importing.I also wanted to see how effective the sync feature is in FCPX 10.1.2

Applications :: Possible To Merge Several Video Clips Into One (IMovie)

Oct 3, 2010

After you have downloaded say 10 movie clips from a video camera into I- Movie, is there a way to connect 2 or more of the clips and make it into one clip? When making movies every time you pause the video camera it creates a different clip. If you pause it 15 times at the same event you download 15 clips which in turn you have to create a button for each clip in I- DVD. I would like to combine some of them to somewhat fewer.

OS X :: IMovie Not Importing Video Clips (MOV Files)

Jul 15, 2009

I'm using a rather old version of iMovie (iMovie 3, actually) and this old dinosaur is having trouble uploading some clips I took of my screen using the trial version of Screen Record 2. I used it once before (Same program, same file format and everything!) and it worked fine, but now all of the sudden it won't accept the files.

An error Message pops up after spending however long it took to upload the file
Error During Import
The file could not be imported: (-47)
The movie also works fine in Quicktime player.
