How do I import into Imovie from a cd.

How do I import into IMovie from a cd?  
I am trying to upload a movie from a cd but when I go into import movies no file shows up but yet I can view the movie in IDVD.  

Remove the checkmarks for the songs you do not want.
To prevent songs from importing, click "no" after you insert the CD.
When the list of songs appears in the iTunes window, click to remove the checkmark next to any songs you don’t want to import.
To add the selected songs to your library, click Import CD near the top right of the iTunes window.

  • How can i import into imovie using the camera's built in memory?

    How can I import into imovie from my cannon video camera built in memory.  All that comes up when I connect the USB cable is what is stored on the memory card and it doesn't give me the option to use what is stored on the built in memory

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
    With the new Photo app later this year the integration between IOS and the Mac will be much greater

  • Trouble importing into iMovie from Sony Handicam

    Recently I tried to import video from my sony handicam into iMovie11.  The video imported, but there was no audio. I used to be able to import with this camera no problem.  Did apple do something?
    Anyone have problems importing with thier Sony Handicam DCR - SX43?  Video imports, but audio will not import into imovie anymore.

    hey there tomaswk, welcom to Discussions.
    1) when importing HDV, iMovie/FCE HD converts it on the fly to A.I.C.-Apple Intermediate Codec. you'll need @ least 2 GB of RAM to approach realtime ingest to your MBP. i have 2.5 GB on my DP G5.
    2) the conversion also results in file sizes about 4 times the size of SD video. plenty of RAM is a necessity for HDV in iMovie or FCE HD. sounds like the partition could be the culprit. maybe get an external FireWire HDD for your HDV iMovies.
    good luck.

  • Importing into iMovie from iPhoto

    I am trying to create a movie on iMovie using still photos and video clips that are in iPhoto. Most of the clips automatically appeared in events, except for two that I need. I have no idea how to get these videos into iMovie and I have tried everything from trying to drag it into iMovie to saving it to my desktop and then importing it into iMovie. Nothing works... I am going crazy. Please help:)

    Hey there guys
    i just did brought some video into imovie. This is what U do (ilife 09):
    I had video on my iphone. I had all video go straight to iphoto. Click on this video you want (More then two and it will take over 30min to download to imovie, I take ten).
    Go to file then Export. Another box will come "Export photo" Look down for the word "Kind" make sure "Original" is selected. Hit Export at the bottom. Now your finder Window will come up, now name the movie and make sure to keep the file ext. name "mov". save it to your desk top or file.
    Right click and open it in imovie. (I would first have imovie already open) After that imovie will open it up.
    I've edited ten mimi movies from a b-day party from saturday. Hit me back if u have any problems, because I did down load the latest download and I didn't have any problem getting my iphone video into imovie. You would think there would be a download button in i movie right along with flicker and facebook, to go directly yo imovie.
    Hope that helps

  • How can I import into iPhoto, from my iPad, albums created on the iPad using Photos App ?

    I take about 300 photos a day using my iPad, as i'm filming to help keep continuity.
    I then create albums under the scene number from some of the photos taken. Eventually i will build up all of the scene numbers in the script.
    I want to import into iPhoto all of these albums.
    How can this be done?
    For some reason, when i plug my iPad into the laptop, it won't import screen grabs or all of the photos.
    So the fact i have tried to be super organised, the apple software is now letting me down !
    Can albums created in the iPad now be imported into iPhoto as albums to keep my organisation ?
    Thanks.

  • How can I import into iMovie?

    I have a Sony Handycam DVD653E which records onto mini discs. On my old computer (non Intel) which ran Tiger I could download videos directly via USB into my iMovie, but that doesn't work anymore. I have a friend with a nonMac computer who can download for me and put the video onto DVD but I can't find out any format which enables me to then import it into my iMovie for editing. Any ideas? Please help!

    I made a DV copy as you suggested, but it still won't drag into iMovie or be accessed from the pulldown menu at the top of my screen. Any more ideas?

  • Cannot import into iMovie from iDVD

    I have started to save my movies from my Sony Camera onto DVD using iDVD OneStep. But now I have discovered that I cannot use these DVD's to import the into iMovie.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks

    probably you misunderstand the concept and workflow of the diff. iLife apps:
    iDVD is the Disk Maker of iLife. no editor, no Movie Maker (allthough you're allowed to do basic things as slideshows etc...)
    for editing, you have to import from camera via iMovie..
    when editing is done, you share to iDVD, which finally produces the disks.. end of the road.
    have you seen the tutorials?

  • How do i import into iMovie, movies that have been imported into iPhoto?

    There seems to be no way iMovie imports movies from iPhoto. Can some one let me know how to do it?

    That could very well be, but I'm surprised that .mov files didn't appear. You can try rebuilding your iPhoto Library too. To do this, quit iPhoto and iMovie. Hold down the ⌘ Command key + Option key and then launch iPhoto. You will see a dialog box that allows you to reconstruct/rebuild your iPhoto library. Check all the boxes as we don't know at this point exactly why the videos are not appearing. Then click OK and let it run until it finishes. If you have a lot of photos in your library, this may take quite a while. Once it's complete try opening iMovie and see what appears under the iPhoto Videos folder in the Event Library. I would expect to see at least the .mov files showing up.
    If this last step fails, you may need to convert the video clips to a different file format. To do this go into iPhoto hold down the CTRL key and click on one of  our video clips. Choose "Reveal in Finder". This will jump you over to the iPhoto Library folder and you can drag that video clip into a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5. Download that program from the link I've provided.
    Basically, you drag the .mpg file into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) as your codec. iMovie will edit this like there was no tomorrow

  • Importing into iMovie from camcorder movies backed up on DVD

    Each time that flashmemory of my camcorder is full I make a backup of the content on a DVD by copying all the files on a DVD (or two for 8GB flash). I have some camcorder backup files which are not on my iMovie library and I would like to transfer them to iMove, but there is no way that I can do this. The import does not recognize the CD/DVD drive. I have not tried copying the DVD back onto the flash and import it as if it is from the camera yet, because there are quite a few DVDs and copying each movie back onto the flash and then transfer it to the iMovie takes quite a lot of time. Is there anyother way? Thanks 

    Hmmm.... Depending on how you made the DVDs it might be possible.
    First, open DISK UTILITY, from your Applications/Utilities folder.
    Create a new disk image. Set a custom size that is at least as big as your flash card, say 8GB.
    Set the properties of the Disk Image to be readable and writable. Give it a name.
    You should now have an 8GB disk image. Mount it on your desktop by double clicking it. You should be able to see a blank folder in the Finder.
    Now copy the contents of your DVD to the disk image. You will need ALL folders from your camera. Try to make the disk image look identical to the SD card. If you only have the .mts files, this will be more difficult. Let me know. If you have all the files from your camera, this is a simple copy operation.
    Now, with the Disk Image mounted, open iMovie, and it should recognize it as a camera and you can import.

  • No audio importing into iMovie from dv camcorder

    I am trying to import video from dv camcorder via firewire 4 to iMovie 9.0.4.  I switched over to Sony DSR 11 for playback but the same result: video but no audio. Suggestions? My iMac does not have an extra firewire4 port so I am using the port on my external drive.

    iMovie does not provide an audio monitor during video import. If you need this, see if your camcorder has a speaker and you can listen to it there.
    Most cameras these days (with the exception of DV) do not import in real time, so audio monitoring on import does not make sense. This feature has not been in iMovie since iMovie 06 (6 years ago)

  • Importing into iMovie from Panasonic GS300

    I am in the process of purchasing a Panasonic GS300, but I am not sure if it will work with iMovie. I have seen posts that indicate there could be a problem. Although Consumer Reports says it does not have a FireWire port, Panasonic says it has a mini DV In/Out IEEE1394 which is another name for the same thing. Does anyone have any direct experience with this camcorder to know whether or not it will work?
    Thanks -
    Dudley Warner

    Thanks for the response. The Panasonic website lists that it has that port. Apparently Apple no longer maintains a list of compatible camcorders. I would still like to hear from someone who has had success with the Panasonic GS300 and iMovie.

  • 1080P movie imported into iMovie at optimised 920x540 but is oddly finalised at 1080p?

    Hi.
    I have a video shot in 1080p which I imported into iMovie from my camcorder using the optimised setting (920x540px). I edited the movie and now want to finalise it. But I'm wondering why when I click finalise the project it says it's doing so in 1080p?
    I assumed when it imported the project it did so at 920x540px and would have disgarded the additional data 1080p data.
    What's happening?
    Thanks!

    Just had a thought. Something AppleMan1958 said in another post.
    Is this because iMovie also imports the original 1080p file into the Camera Originals folder? So when I finalise the edited project it does with the original 1080p footage?

  • How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto?

    How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? Or how do I export individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? My final goal is to have a DVD of individual photos from a video I recently shot. Thanks

    Here is one way to do it, although you will see there could be variations.
    1) Open iMovie
    2) Start a new project - name it Stills for iPhoto (or a name of your choice)
    3) Go to your EVENT. Find the spot with the cursor that you want a photo of. Right-click (or control-click if you don't have a mouse) and select ADD STILL FRAME TO PROJECT.
    4) The photo should be in the Project called Stills for iPhoto.
    5) Right-click (control-click) on the photo and select REVEAL IN FINDER.
    6)When the finder window opens, right-click and select COPY. Go to your Desktop or a folder of your choice and right-click PASTE
    7) Drag the photo from your Desktop to iPhoto

  • How do I import an iMove file into Toast 7?

    How do I import an iMovie file into Toast 7? I have tried
    the image file copy and the horizontal
    aliasing still is there.

    I am not quite sure what you are trying to do since you mention copying an image file. Let's start with an iMovie project and you now want to encode it. You have a choice of programs to do the encoding, Toast being one of them. If the video is less than 2 hours, iDVD offers more options and does a great job encoding the movie too. I use both programs. If this is the process you are trying to follow, then Toast 7 allows you to drag the iMovie project file directly into the Toast window (after selecting the Video tab)and it will locate the right file to encode. Set the various options for menus, etc. and then go. Usually, it is best to Save As Disc Image, and then burn the DVDs later from the image file again with Toast using the Copy tab (copy image file selection). If I create the image file with iDVD, I still use Toast to burn the DVDs. Toast 7 works great with iMovie 5, but I have not used it with iMovie 6. There could be some incompatibilities.
