iMovie 06 to Final Cut Express 4
Hi folks, Has anyone found a way to export clips from iMovie 06 to Final Cut Express 4 ? I have a project that I would like to complete in FCE. Don't really want to find all the clips again from my Mini DV tapes !!!

New Mac Dictation software
Hi... As it's a pretty common question on the list I thought I'd point out that MacSpeech have released their new dictation software (MacSpeech Dictate) at MacWorld Expo. It's based on Dragon Naturally speaking and claims 99% accuracy after 5 minutes of training. http://www.itwire.com/content/view/16117/53/ Have fun, Shay -- === Shay Telfer Perth, Western Australia Technomancer The love of liberty is the love Opinions for hire [POQ] of others; the love of power is http://newtonslore.com/fnord the love of ourselves - Hazlitt -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: iMovie 06 to Final Cut Express 4
Can't remember all the version differences, but essentially clips captured in iMovie are DV stream, and you need them to be quicktimes for FCE. I think there is the option to export movie to quicktime movie in iMovie. Do this for all the clips, then import the quicktimes into FCP. If this is too confusing or stressful, you *can* open the imovie captures in FCE, but you will probably need to render each clip on the timeline. cheers Jude Hi folks, Has anyone found a way to export clips from iMovie 06 to Final Cut Express 4 ?

Re: Mighty Mouse scroll fix
Hi all, My experience with Mighty Mouse has been that wetting the ball with 'rubbing alcohol' (isopropanol), then rolling the ball against a cloth, dislodges built up grime and clears up the scrolling in all directions. Each time, it seems longer and longer between cleanings (can't even remember the last time I did it), and isopropanol won't corrode the components or scratch the plastic casing. Then again, perhaps it's just because I'm keeping my own hands cleaner :-) James -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Mighty Mouse scroll fix - finger fixer
Yesterday my cordless Mighty Mouse stopped scrolling upwards. Down, left and right was fine. I ve got 2 mighty mouse, first one I bought 2nd hand. I've noow pulled it apart and the rollers had fair bit of fine hair, dust, fabric lint etc - hair curls around the rollers stops them moving. Its now got a bit of magic tape holding the case back together ( I snapped the casing ring when taking it off - bugger) work fine now I've tried the magic cloth, etc that various sites, including Apples little video tout - works for little while. My Sure Way I have also found that my fingers either get oily, sweaty or too dry, so I lick/spit on my fingers and dry them and that seem to the trick - for a while. chow -- gary dorn north perth -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: iMovie 06 to Final Cut Express 4
Another option that doesn't require the time and duplication of disk space required by exporting your movie from iMovie is to: - right-click (or control click) on your iMovie project (called My Great Movie.iMovieProject or whatever you titled it) and choose show package contents from the pop-up context menu - open the Shared Movies folder - then open the iDVD folder You should then see a Quicktime reference movie for your whole edited movie which you will be able to drag straight into the timeline in Final Cut Express (or Pro). FCE will ask if you want to change settings to match the imported footage which you should do in order not to have to re-render all the time. This reference movie is only ~ 300K in size, but it acts as if it is the entire exported iMovie project movie which you can edit to your heart's content in FCE (or FCP). Just make sure you don't make any changes to the original imovie project otherwise it will mess up the reference movie in FCE. -Mart On 16/01/2008, at 11:04 PM, Jude wrote: Can't remember all the version differences, but essentially clips captured in iMovie are DV stream, and you need them to be quicktimes for FCE.

Re: Mighty Mouse scroll fix
While my MM is still working okay, it seems from the comments of others that these gadgets have the potential to be as troublesome as any of their Apple forebears. I found the following site which shows how to open and clean them if all else fails: http://shirster.multiply.com/journal/item/194 I notice in one of the pics with the how-to article there is a packet of ciggies. Smoke particles have never been good for electronics. Could there be a link to the ill-health of Mighty Mice?

HP colour laser printers

ING
Hi Folks, I tried to login into ING Banking using Safari - when I clicked on Online Banking hyperlink, nothing happened except a # was added to the URL in the address line.

Re: HP colour laser printers
Hmmm...interesting... I'm in the market for a new colour printer as our HPDeskJet has just died... I've got a borrowed B W HP LaserJet 1020 running successfully at the moment. Although it's listed as Windows Compatible only, the 1022 Mac Driver runs it fine. Think I will investigate if there is similar workaround for the Colour HP LaserJet 1600. Would be nice at that price.

Re: HP colour laser printers
Just be aware that the toner cartridges cost a pretty penny and are no doubt where HP makes up their money on these cheap lasers. You need 4 cartridges - cyan, magenta, yellow and black and each costs $120, so that's $480 for a complete new set. Each of the colour cartridges is rated at 2,000 pages, with the black being 2,500 if I recall correctly. (however, if you're printing full page colour on every sheet it will be a lot less) I'm pretty sure that the printer itself ships with only partially filled cartridges (1,000 pages) though I'd have to check to be sure. This model (HP Laserjet 1600) is also USB only - no ethernet - you need to go up a couple of hundred dollars to the HP Laserjet 2600 to get ethernet and official OS X compatibility. (this printer also has a $200 rebate current.) -Mart On 17/01/2008, at 3:50 PM, Tuchwood wrote: Hmmm...interesting... I'm in the market for a new colour printer as our HPDeskJet has just died...
