Help - trouble importing Photoshop'd still frame back into iMovie

Can anyone let me know if I am missing something - I have saved a frame from iMovie HD footage and pulled into PS, edited the still, and pulled back into iMovie. The Photoshop'd still does not match in size the original footage. The saved frame imports into PS at 1920x1080 if that offers any info. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi jkennedytexas - for your info - don't have an answer - have just tested this (on iMovie 5 HD, as I don't have 6 with me at the moment): the frame imported to PS CS2 at 784x576, and was the same after editing it and returning it to iMovie. I assume you used File>Save Frame? What editing did you carry out in PS?

  • Trouble importing analog video thru converter box into Imovie

    I have a very old Sony Video 8 Handycam and and a Pyro A/V converter box. I movie sees the Camcorder/Box but when I press the import button the screen says "Importing" and nothing else happens. I have everything hooked up the way it should be. Can you help?

    I movie sees the Camcorder/Box but when I press the import button the screen says "Importing" and nothing else happens.
    Your capture work flow is not clear here. Are you trying to import in the Auto or Manual mode? Since no "communication" is possible here, you must capture your content in the application's manual mode. Without communication, there is no device control and you must also manually start and stop the camcorder manually. Simply begin playback on the camcorder and when you see the video begin to play on the iMovie '08 capture screen, then press the button to begin importing your video.

  • Exporting then importing projects back into imovie so I can re-edit

    If I have almost completed a project but want it off my hard drive for awhile, is there a way to save that project on a portable drive, then latter, if I need to make changes, import that project back into imovie so I can add video or change the transitions, etc. I find after exporting a project if I import it back, it cannot be re-edited without starting all over. In other words I want to save and store a project with all the editing instructions and then be able to import it back for changes. Thanks for any help on this...

    Project files (which are merely a set of instructions describing how a file will be made when it is to be exported/shared) are relatively small compared to Event (i.e., source) files and you would normally reap greater benefits by moving/keeping them on an external drive. If Events are moved from within iMovie '08, their paths will remain unbroken. If, however, you remove the the project files and anything happens to change either the Project or Event paths, you could be in a lot of trouble trying to get/fit everything back to its proper location with path references in tact at a later time.

  • Importing completed iMovie back into iMovie for additional editing

    My daughter recently completed a mini movie, courtesy of an Apple Film camp...lots of fun.
    Her completed movie, made at the Apple Store using iMovie, was placed on a DVD. The DVD plays the movie, which is great, but i am not able to import the movie back into iMovie, so that I can edit it, or rather, shrink the size, for my daughter for use in other platforms.
    Everytime I try to open the DVD, I have files for audio and files for video, which can't be imported in, and no complete iMovie file.
    I'm probably doing something very stupid, and if somebody could help, that would be great.
    Thanks!

    Once you encode your movie for DVD, it changes the format/codec to MPEG2 which is no longer readable by iMovie.
    I suggest you read the Recent User Contributed Tips at the top of this forum - the one by AppleMan 1958 - How to import a home movie on DVD into iMovie for editing:

  • Everytime i eject my ipod and reconnect it all my music is gone. and sometimes while i try adding music to it. itunes completely freezes. please help. and sometimes when i plug it back into my PC i have to rename my ipod and such

    Everytime i eject my ipod and reconnect it all my music is gone. and sometimes while i try adding music to it. itunes completely freezes. please help. and sometimes when i plug it back into my PC i have to rename my ipod and such

    Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
    My suggestion.
    Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Connect your Ipod to the PC
    When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
    When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
    Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
    When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
    If this doesn't resolve your problem, then let me know.
    Good Luck!

  • How do i import footage from a dvd that i made on imovie, back into imovie?

    How do I import footage from a dvd that i made on imovie, back into imovie?

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

  • Importing iMovie-created movies back into iMovie

    Hi - new here to to the forums; I have had a Mac for less than a year.
    I have created many projects in iMovie and exported the files using "share...export movie" creating m4v files. I now want to string several of those exported movies together into one continuous movie. The first way I could easily think of to do that was just to import my final created movies back into an event and piece them together in a project how I want (there may be a better way - I'm open to suggestions).
    The problem is that not all of my iMovie-created movies are being recognized for importing by iMovie. I think I have determined the problem, but I don't know how to fix it: the codec for the ones that will import says "H.264, AAC" but the ones that won't import says "H.264, AAC, Text". I have no idea what I did differently to have the codec include "Text" in some but not others, and no idea what to do to fix it.
    Solutions? Thanks in advance...

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    If you simply wish to join your movies together, you might be better doing this in Quicktime. However if you want to edit further such as applying transitions/titles etc between the movies you would need to use imovie.
    If you have the original projects in imovie, it would be better if you re-exported them as full quality AIC video and used this to assemble a new movie in imovie. If this is not possible you can remove the text tracks that are causing you the import problem using the properties window in Quicktime pro.

  • Import DVD back into iMove

    I burned an iMovie slideshow in toast onto a DVD.
    Apple then replaced my HD.
    I lost the project on my HD,and a lot more stuff.
    How can I import the project back into iMove from the DVD?
    I keep geting a error message. When I try.

    You need to use an application that will convert MPEG 2 video to .mov or DV. There are many that do this including Toast 7, Cinematize, MPEG Streamclip or QuickTime Pro with the Quicktime MPEG 2 Component, DVDxDV and many others.

  • Quicktime back into iMovie ?

    Hi
    I upgraded from iMovie 3 to iMovie HD the other day with iLife' 05. When I tried to open the project, it asked if I wanted to upgrade and warned me I wouldn't be able to open it in older versions anymore, that was fine with me so I clicked. For some reason, when the movie launches the file is blank but I have a Quicktime version instead! I really don't want to have to go through the media folder and start again.
    So, can I import the Quicktime movie back into iMovie so I can continue tweaking it? Or is that it now and if that's the case, can I still export it to dvd?
    Also, I have some old movies clogging up my HD that I don't want anymore and I can't delete them. I've had a box open which lists all my documents on the HD but when I highlight the file to delete, or try and drag it to the trash, it doesn't go. Do I have to find a main source and delete it from there? Thanks.

    I must confess that I assumed that the two audio tracts in iMovie were stereo, because in expert settings one can define stereo or mono. On one iMove track I had music, and on the other I had my voice. If it is exported then I assumed one must have access to both tracts to hear them. Since on my friend's computer I was only hearing one side, I came to the conclusion that he was not hearing the other tract. I could be mistaken, but that was my conclusion.

  • How do I move a project from an external drive back into Imovie

    I recently bought an Iomega external hard drive to store documentary movies so that I wouldn't jam up my Imac's free space. However, after I moved an imovie/idvd project to it, and wanted to make changes, I could not move the project back into the Imac's drive. (It also would not burn from the external, giving me a multiplex error) When I tried to move the movie back into Imovie on the Imac it said Quicktime couldn't parse it. I saw various posts about parsing, but not about specifically about moving a project from an external drive. Can anyone offer any suggestions? It seems to me that I should be able to move a project back and forth without that much trouble.

    Sounds like you have a DVD format (MPEG-2) and not an iMovie Project file.
    The key phrases are "multiplex" and "parse". Both suggest MPEG-2 format when opened in QuickTime. It would also throw an error -2048 message if MPEG-2.
    But another issue could be the file format of the external drive. Most ship pre-formatted for the Windows OS's but a Mac user should format using HFS+ (and others). If you didn't format the drive before moving the large iMovie Project onto it it may have become severely fragmented if the external used FAT 16 or FAT 32 (very common) formats. They have a 2 or 4 GB file size limit, respectively and would have made your Project unreadable when moved back and forth.
    Use the Disk Utility app to find out the format of your external drive.

  • How to put movie from disc back into imovie?

    Hi, I have just put a disc that I created using iMovie and iDVD back into my G4 using Disc Utility. Seems easy to burn an exact copy, but I would like to get the movie on the disc back into iMovie so I can edit it further and make it part of a new iDVD project. Is this possible?
    Thanks
    Chris

    Hi, Christine,
    Yes, you can do it. See this for some help/suggestions as to what to use and how to do it: http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?128@@.68b7d7a6
    You will lose some quality but it may not be so much to bother you.
    You should always save your finished movies back to the camcorder DV tape. That way, you can always reimport that footage into any new iMovie project.
    Either way, you will not be able to do the tight editing as you could on the original iMovie, but you can certainly add it to other movies, insert new movies, and delete some portions of your first movie. Remember that the audio you added as separate tracks will now be incorporated into the video and will not appear as separate tracks under the video.
    Hope this is helpful!
