IMovie won't let me use the video I want

I have several movies that I am using for a project and iMovie is allowing me to use some of the movies but not all of them. When I looked at the info in all of  them, the only difference between them is that the ones that don't work have Codec: Text. Not sure if that means anything, but I really need these videos.

IMovie cannot edit clips with text tracks. The solution would be to open them in QuickTime Pro and delete the text tracks.

    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

    Er, Audition doesn't have a liquify tool. Dunno which CS6 app does, but that's the forum you should post on.

  • I don´t see the iPhoto library in imovie, how can a i use the videos of iPhoto? Thank you

    I don´t see the iphoto library in imovie, how can i use the videos of iphoto, how can i get de library in imovie?
    Thank you

    Is there any chance you launched iPhoto while the external hard drive was not available? If so you may have created a virtual EHD - if so unmount your EHD and in the finder go menu ==> go to folder == /Volumes and if you see your EHD there drag it to the desktop - then remount it and launch iPhoto and see if you see both libraries

    Do you get a drop-down list if you keep the left mouse button pressed on the Back button?

    Hi I've just topped my I tunes account up with a I tunes card and it won't let me use my money on there

    What I mean is what is happening when you try to buy the movie? Does the cost of the movie exceed to amount of the gift card? Many areas/states/countries add a sales tax or a VAT to the purchase that will exceed the card amount.

  • HT4059 Have several books that were purchased recently, when all the sudden they have multiplied having 20 or more copies in my library   How can I delete them because it won't let me use the edit tab?

    Have several books that were recently purchased. This week these books have multiplied into at least 20 or more copies within my library. How can I delete them because it will not let me use the edit tab?

    Do they have the cloud icon on them ? When I had Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'on' I was getting multiple copies of books that were only in the cloud showing on the bookshelf in the app - turning that setting 'off' stopped them showing (you can see what books are available for redownloading, and redownload them, via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app)

  • Won't let me use the symbols to put my passcode in?

    Will not let me use the symbols to put my passcode in?

    Have you turned off Simple passcode in Settings>General>Passcode Lock? With the default simple passcode on, you only have digits.
    From the Users Guide:
    Turn Simple Passcode on or off:  Choose General > Passcode Lock, then turn Simple
    Passcode on or off.
    A simple passcode is a four-digit number. To increase security, turn off Simple Passcode
    and use a longer passcode with a combination of numbers, letters, punctuation, and
    special characters.
