New Imac and one of the first things i tried to do is edit some home movies that i have copied from VHS-C to my new Sony DVD-HDD recorder.
I gather now it is not easy . What is the easiest way to get these in to Imovie for editing?
So recently my iMovie started acting up and when I try to edit a video is crashes and sends me an error report. I have tried opening it several times this weekend, this is bad news since I run a YouTube channel and iMovie is where I do my video editing.

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)
I have been working on a project in iMovie for a few days, and it has been working perfectly. Today, I opened up my project and I could not play the project (the red line would move, but no picture would show up in the upper right hand corner box) and ALL of the options in the "share" tab were gray and unable to click them. Many options in the "edit" and "file" tabs were unable to be clicked as well.
Another project i completed months ago is working perfectly. The clips in the events play/show up on the window in the upper right hand corner
So i've recently gotten in the uploading to YouTube craze with my Flip Mino HD but i'm not too happy at the way i've been doing this and am hoping there is an easier way.
As of late i've been importing what i film into iMovie. In iMovie i'll edit the video to my liking. In iMovie i'll "export" to the media browser so it'll show up in GarageBand. Then i'll open GarageBand and edit my film further, dealing with sound; adding music. After that i'll export it as a .MOV to my desktop. Then i'll open iMovie again and import that .MOV file and from there in iMovie will have it upload to YouTube in its original HD format.
Right now I'm trying to make an anime music video for my younger brother. I've taken some of the clips from my dvds and i've imported them already. Also I've divided the clips into certain parts. I want to edit the duration of each clip but I don't know how. I'm using iMovie HD by the way since I have a iBook G4
View 1 Replies View RelatedI made a short movie in iMovie 09. Into the project I imported a song from my iTunes. Then I wanted to fade the music because it lasted longer than the video. So I clicked on the little gear that brings up the clip trimmer. But rather than bring up the clip trimmer the software crashes. Again and again and again.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'll be doing my first project in iMovie this weekend; I'm borrowing a Sony Handycam to film a school play. Because my Macbook doesn't have a firewire port, I'm planning to use my friend's iMac to import the footage onto my external hard drive (ie select the hard drive from the pop-up menu on the import sheet as recommended here. Once the footage is on my external hard drive will I have to do the editing on the iMac, or can I edit it in my Macbook? The 2nd option is preferable as I can then do the editing at home instead of at my friend's place. If that's possible, how do I import it into the macbook? And also, my friend's iMac has iMovie '08, I have '09 - does that matter?

Created a movie in imovie and I finalized it and put it in a usb. Now I need to go back and edit the video again but I can't find it! How can I put it back on imovie so that I can keep editing it? I have the full movie in iphoto but I need it to be in pieces where i can edit each clip like before. The file that it is in has a hazard sign on the front of it? I'm not sure what that means...

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have home movies which seem to all be in mpeg2 format. I would like to open them in imovie to edit and burn new dvds. At an Apple store I was told I needed QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback to read the mpeg2 format. Under the FAQs for MPEG-2 Playback, it says to export to mpeg4 (?) I need to use QuickTime Pro.
My question is, do I need both QuickTime Pro and MPEG-2 Playback? I don't want to plunk down $50 unnecessarily. How do these work together to get my mpeg2 files into imovie? Is there an easier route to do this?
have been making movies with imovie for the past few years. Today I imported from my camera, could see the clips moving in imovie when being transported, but when I tried to edit the clips, all I could get was a screen frozen with a picture, no movement, but could hear the sound. Then when I tried to open an already saved imovie (that had already been burned to iDVD successfully), the same thing happened.
I just exported a Note from the Notes application to my documents as a PDF file. When I open the PDF document, it is very readable, but I am not able to perform any changes or addition, ie edit. How can this be done...

How can I restore my iMac to factory settings and then reinstall from the purchased discs, Aperature, Final Draft and Final Cut Studio 7? Can I use my Ibook unibody's drive to somehow do this? Desperate to edit footage from my trip to South Sudan for CNN and NBC, and my macbook's screen has a 3 inch black line down the middle (that's another matter entirely!)... hence using the iMac. (Which by the way, has 2GB RAM.) Also, while I'm here, is it easy the replace the optical drive myself? I've successfully done it with my MacBook, but the imac looks like not possible.

This is a weird one, just started this week. I'm on OS 10.9.5.Â
Whenever I click on the EDIT tab in the toolbar in *multiple* applications: InDesign, Photoshop, MS Word, iTunes, Chrome, the application crashes. Firefox doesn't seem to be effected.Â
The only activity immediately preceding the issue were 2 software updates to MEMORY CLEAN app which I've since deleted and to Pro Video Formats which I don't *think* I can un-install.Â

am currently working on a project for a friend's graduation open house, and all of the sudden iMovie just disappeared. It's still in the dock, and when I click it nothing happens. When I go in the finder and click "New Project" it re-appears in the corner of the screen, and whether I hit okay or cancel it just appears to shrink into the upper-right and corner and then disappears. The same thing happens when I hit minimize (An option in the iMovie Finder Bar), and try and open it, it automatically shrinks and then goes off the screen in the upper right hand corner. I tried disabling Spaces to see if that was the problem and it didn't solve anything.

With all the talk about Apple upgrading the iMacs, should we wait or should we go ahead purchase. We heard they might be upgrading the graphics on the iMac
I have my film material (camera: Panasonic SDR-H20) in MPEG-2 Format, which can't be imported by iMovie.Â
I would like to know,
1) which are from your experiences the best programms to convert MPEG-2 to "?".
2) ? because, which would be the best Format....I would like to watch the movie on my Mac, but also see it on my TV. Most programs offer to Transfer it to everything (ipad, ipod, tablet....but not a General TV).
I'm preparing a video to explain how to do some work for my job and I'd like to capture the screen to a .mov file as I perform some tasks on the computer.

I can't open my iPhoto because I downloaded OS X months ago. I am sick of the App Store icon showing I have two updates - iPhone and iMovie - that I can NOT update. Also I am blocked from getting into iPhoto to boot!!!! Here's what's on the screen when I try to update these programs.Â
Update Unavailable with this apple ID. This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.  I purchased this computer and did not return, cancel, or refund one thing in it. We could not complete your request.There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (null) how I contact the App Store?

I copied the files onto a USB and tried to open/import them onto my new Intel Core 2 Duo, 3.06 GHz iMac. However my new iMac with iMovie '09 won't recognise the files when I try to import them. They stay greyed, not allowing me to import them.
