Software :: Movie Squashed/Cut Off In IMovie/iDvd?
May 2, 2010
I've attempted to reconstruct an old black and white film from parts off YouTube in iMovie, which has worked fine. The scenes fit together seamlessly and the subtitles are easily legible.
The problem, however, is that once I burn this via iDVD and play it on my TV, the heads of the actors are cut off at the top of the screen and the subtitles are cut off/cut in half at the bottom of the screen.
I've tried everything I can think of to correct this so that everything fits as you would expect on the screen, but so far to no avail.
I have lots of DV cassettes I want to load and eventually get to DVD.
In iMovie I have taken the first cassette and did my montage the way I want it. Now, I want to export this movie (as a single file if possible) so that when I will have a few of them, I will use iDVD to do DVD menus and add all my movies.
Every time I try to export a movie in iMovie or burn a disk in iDVD an error message pops up and says that my startup disk is full. So I bought an external hard drive and backed up my mac using Time Machine. Now I want to delete everything off my mac's internal Hard Drive and use my external hard drive so I can empty my disk. Does this make sense? If so will you please tell me how to do so.
I imported a HD film from my Sony HD Handycam at full HD resolution. When I want to export it to iDVD for burning, the only publishing video option is 960 by 540. How do i get it to 1920 by 1080. I want to get HD quality but on a regular DVD disc.
I created a movie using IDVD, only I apparently don't have the kind of drive needed to burn dvds, so my questions (which is probably a stupid one) is how do I put it onto a dvd? I know there are external burners, but I rather not buy one. Are there any types of services that do that? I know there are ones for tapes to dvds, but this is already on my computer.. Can I save it and do it through a pc? Would I have to convert the file?
When I play my DVD (created in iMovie / iDVD) on the TV, the horizontal lines appear to shimmer and waver.Playback on the Mac is perfect. Video was captured in full HD format and processed on the iMac for full HD. TV playback option was chosen before burning What happened?
I used one step dvd in iDVD6 transfer some video from my handicam to a cd. I now want to download this to iMovie but I can't seem to do this. Do I have to convert my iDVD to an MP4 file first then download to iMovie? If not how does one carry out this transfer so that I can edit this video in iMovie.
Any movie that I play that was burned in iDVD starts playing the movie from the beginning. What do i have to do in iDVD to get the movie to start at the menu?
I have a project already started in iDVD. When I try to add a movie to it, it says that my iMovie project can not be used yet because it hasn't been prepared for sharing. It tells me to go to iMovie - Share - Media Browser. When I do that and try to click on Share, nothing is available to be used.
I have iMovie 2.1.2 on a Mac G4 with a superdrive burner. I've captured video from my mini-dv camcorder and now I want to put it on DVD to be played on any DVD player.
I've tried a few of the "expert" settings to export it, but none do the trick as far as producing playable DVD's. I have toast titanium 5 and I don't have Quicktime Pro. I also do not have iDVD.
I have Final Cut Pro on this computer, but have no idea how to use it.
Is there a simple way to to export directly from iMovie onto a playable DVD, or do I need something else?
I've searched and I still cannot find a free program that will let me burn a movie to a DVD. I used handbrake to bring the video file down to 4.5 GB. I'm trying to put it on a 4.7 GB disc and iDVD still won't let me because it says it is too big! I've been tinkering with iDVD and it's making me crazy. There must be a way to just burn it. I don't need a menu. Keep in mind that I want to be able to watch it on a dvd player (as opposed to just transferring the file). Just an FYI, the video file is 3 hours and 28 mins. It can be .mkv or .mp4 (through handbrake).
Does anyone know of a simple way to upload home movies burned to DVD into my iMac so that I can burn copies? Have quite a few personal videos on DVD that i'd like to import/upload to archive and burn additional copies of, and can't seem to figure it out.
I imported DV video into imovie 06 (i have ilife 08 but like most others dont like using imovie 08) did my editing in movie 06. I then clicked on the idvd button, it opened idvd (08) but it hadnt imported the movie, so i simply went to the imovie file in finder and dragged and dropped it into idvd.
I then created an idvd project with the themes and all that jazz, clicked burn, and it took around 2 hours. I checked it in a dvd player, and it was perfect.
My question is now, can i delete the imovie 06 file from my comp. Its 12gb, and i have quite a few more to do, i was hoping that when id edited all my movies, i would be able to delete the movie files, in order to free my space back up. however i want to be able to make more copies.
Basically, Will i be able to burn more copies of the dvd, if i delete the imovie file?
Iv read things about 'image files' aswell, which might be part of it, im not sure, but as far as i know, i havnt done any other encoding or fancy importing when i put my movie into idvd.
The DVD ejects before the process ends, and is blank. I have an iMac running Lion. Significantly, nothing at akll comes up about disc burning in the 'About My Mac' utility.
I have made a fairly large Imovie with .jpeg, .mov and .mp4 . When I go to share with idvd or finalize, imovie keeps crashing. I am desparate to resolve, b/c I have to get this dvd sent out for duplication asap. below is the log. I have over 200G of memory?Here is my crash log
I need to burn a DVD to play home videos in a DVD player. Since Apple killed off iDVD, I've wasted over 2 hours trying to figure out how I can create such a DVD-video. Someone suggested "Burn" but Burn only handles .avi or .mpeg files and iMovie only exports .m4v files. So any software, for movie in iMovie, exported it successfully, converted it from .m4v to .avi or .mpeghas successfully burned it to a DVD-Video, played it in a DVD-video player, to achieve this?
I made an iDVD project a while ago and discarded everything but the DVD disk. Now I want to import the project back into iMovie to use it as part of another project. Is this possible? It seems like I could play it on the TV and then import it into the computer, but I have forgotten how and what equipment and programs that I would need.
I've just upgraded to Mavericks from Lion. I find that iPhoto, iMovie and iDVD are all missing in the new OS. Can I restore them from my Time Machine backups? If I do, will they work with Mavericks?
Info: iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), MacBook Pro 2.2ghz i7
I've download a 1080p movie and I've used imovie to make a subtitle, but after I put it out ,I've found that the quality of the new one is very bad although it is 1080p
I have used the export methods within iMovie and they do not work.The DVD it has created will not play in my DVD player.Do you have something to replace your iDVD that is not loaded on my new Mac Book Pro??
