Sending iMovie to Quicktime...a few times

I have been working on several projects in iMovie 5.0.2 varying in length (10 mins, 20mins, 30mins). Plenty of extracted audio and such. I then hit 'share' and send to Quicktime (QT), full quality. Then I will import the QT video back into iMovie to continue editing without iMovie getting sluggish.
Question: is there a loss of quality by sending the same video to QT (always full quality), then importing back into iMovie one, twice, three, times.
I have one movie 'shared' to QT thrice. It looks perfect, but I want to make sure my eyes are not deceiving me.
I feel like I am mixing down music from 10 tracks to one whenever converting to QT. It is so much easier to have the proect in one, long "clip" after importing from QT...
Thanx!

Seriously?!?! No loss of quality, not even one iota? That is splendid. Absolutely splendid!!
So once iMovie is getting sluggish on me, just covert what I did up to that point to QT, then take the QT video and bring it back into iMovie to pick up where I left off. Wonderful.
Thanx so much.

    Can anyone help me to verify my account, i have tried sending the e-mail a few times but it wont send.?

    Did you also enter your username/email address and password for the SMTP server? most SMTP servers (used for sending mails) want you to log in or else won't send.
    For testing purposes, you can send a message to yourself; as receiving messages is not a problem...

  • Have new iMac osx 2.5 intel and a few times now when in mail it starts to lag, rainbow spins and things go awry. Have to shut down and reboot to get it back to normal. Also a sender rang to say his email to me had been opened 140 times.....whats that???!!

    Cheers Rhonda

    Rhonda you Force Quit and app by click the Apple symbol in the upper left and selecting Force Quit... and then select the app that isn't responding and Force Quit it.
    I'm not sure what is wrong with your Mail system but I'd recommend starting over with it. You can find out how in Mail Setup, Troubleshooting etc... If you still have trouble then contact AppleCare,  you have 90 days of free phone service with AppleCare......why not use it?

  • I have been working on a Christmas Video and all of a sudden iMovie has been really slow, and hasn't let me played the movie or edit it. What do i do? I restarted it a few times now and nothing seems to work

    I have been working on a Christmas Video and all of a sudden iMovie got really slow and wouldn' let me edit or play the video. I restarted it a few times now and nothing seems to work. What do i do?

    Which version of iMovie are you using and what mac do you have?

  • Exported a 3 minute video from iMovie to Quicktime, saved on my desktop.  It started saving as INDIVIDUAL files, as in about 5400! Entire system froze, completely unresponsive.  Powered off 3 times now, it comes on and displays my screen saver but nothing

    Exported a 3 minute video from iMovie into Quicktime, saved to desktop.  System started saving INDIVIDUAL frames instead and entire system froze.  Powered off and on twice - screensaver appears, but that's it - nothing else is accessible

    Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    You may now be able to log in and move the files off the Desktop. Then reboot as usual.

  • Form_URN doesn't work for the first few times on android, and doesn't work completely on iphone.

    Dear All,
    I used approval workflow in my workflow and modified the content in the email sent by system to users. I used hyperlink to setup a clickable letter to Current Task : Form_URN.  (everything under workflow 2010 and SP 2013 online )
    After that, I initiated some new items in the list and the email got sent to users. On android phone, I was able to click on the link created by current task: Form_URN and it leads me to log in, after I log in it leads me to a black website of my sharepoint
    site. I noticed the URL is correct (which means if I use the url on my computer, it will lead me to the place I want it to be, which is the approve or reject the workflow)  after a few times of sending request, suddenly it worked on my android phone.
    (no idea what happened).  But then I did the same test on iphone, it kept leading me to the blank site, and never worked in the end, the link is still correct. Is it a browser thing? Is it possible to fix it?
    Thanks
    Timothy Liu

    You can only turn it into your local Apple store to be recycled for a 10% discount towards the purchase of a new one.  That's it though.

  • Active mq - reading few times the same message

    Hi, i've got a question (problem?) about active mg. Firstly, i must admit that i'm a newbie to JMS.
    ok, so i wrote 2 threads - one for reading messages, second for sending them. The thread for sending, sends only one (test) message and it finishes. the problem is, that the thread for reading (which connects, reads, sleeps for 15sec, connects, reads, sleeps for 15sec and so on)- reads the message few times.. I do not know what is the rule-should i read something (what?) to check if this message was already read by me? Or maybe i do not properly understand how it should works, or maybe i've got a problem in my code?:
    public void run() {
          while (state) {
             receiveMessages();

  • Enforce to send the messages pending, after the Time To Deliver is changed

    JMS Queue is being used to send data from our database to the headquarters’ database.
              Our organization considers using "Time To Deliver Override" during the scheduled downtime of the headquarters’ database. For example, when our admin is informed by the headquarters' admin that downtime is scheduled, our admin can change "Time To Deliver Override" from -1 to 1200000 (20 hrs) in WebLogic Consol. Then, when the database is back, our admin will reset the value to -1.
              It is simple and quick. However, I realized that the messages pending will not processed for the “Time To Deliver” which was configured when the message was added.
              Can WebLogic enforce to send the messages pending, after the "Time To Deliver Override" is changed back to -1?

    A few related points:
              - I think 9.x may provide mbean/JMX/administrative options to change time-to-deliver in existing messages - but, even if it does, this seems unwieldy.
              - 9.x also provides options for adminstratrively pausing delivery of a destinations messages, and/or pausing MDBs.
              - I think the "time-to-deliver override" also supports setting absolute times via cron like schedules (eg - you can configure it so messages are born at a specific time.)
              - Another option is to introduce an intermediate destination and configure a "messaging bridge" to forward messages between them. When messaging needs to be pause, administratively stop the bridge.

  • My IPhone, after synching the last few times, has inherited both my husband and my daughter's music libraries.  How do I un do this?

    My IPhone, after synching the last few times, has inherited both my husband and my daughter's music libraries.  How do I un-do this and keep this from happening in the future?

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Then on the iPod go to
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers

    Thanks.  I do not have the experience on burning discs from iMovie for the movie after editing (ie for video discs players).  It seems that i cannot find the relevant command in the tool bar for this purpsoe.  Would you please show me the way?
    The command is gone because iDVD has been discontinued by Apple. After Apple discontinued iDVD they removed the iDVD burning link from iMovie. I still use iDVD sometimes, only because I have an old copy.

Again, what is the best rate?  Furthermore, which format is more suitable or the best: H264 or mpeg 2/4?
    I don't know what RF means. When I have used HandBrake, I've used presets that apply to what I want to do, so I don't know the meaning of each individual setting. However, it appears that many of them are listed in the HandBrake User's Guide that is linked from the Help menu in the program:

    Photoshop is not amateur-level software, and although it can edit a video, it cannot burn a DVD. Unfortunately, because I still use iMovie, I haven't tried anything else. You might want to read the reviews of various DVD-burning applications in the Mac App Store.

  • Playback gives black screen after a few times

    Hi!
    This is my problem. I just installed Adobe Premiere CS6. After trying it a few hours the program has allready frozen a dozen times and unexpectedly quit a few times. Is there some major bugs in the CS6? (One of the recurring problems is the playbutton in the playback window to stop responding. Nothing happens when I click it) Also, I can't find the adobe upater anywhere on my computer, but once in a while it opens atuomatically so it has to be here somwhere. Where is this program located and how can I manually check for updates?
    But, the biggest problem is this: when I add a clip to the timeline it first plays back just fine. But then, after adding another clip to the timeline, or a few minutes later, it suddenly doesn't playback anymore. It plays the sound, but the window is just black. The only way I've been able to get the picture back is by restarting the entire program.
    I'm very new to Premiere Pro, has up until now only worked with InDesign and Photoshop so it might just be something I'm not understanding how to do but it seems like very strange behaviour to me.
    I work on an iMac with OS X 10.7.5
    Adobe Premiere (6.0.0 (319 (MC: 264587))
    Help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I just tried to install Premiere on my new MacBook Pro as well but I'm still not able to playback the picture. The sound works but the playback screen is completely black.
    MacBook Pro (Retina) OS X: 10.8.2.
    Adobe Premiere Pro CS6: Version 6.0.2 (072 (MC:264587))
    Source Footage: Quicktime (56 gb in one file): Apple ProRes 422, Linear PCM, Timecode.
    I also have some smaller clips in this Quicktime Codec: H.264, Linear PCM.
    No error messages. Sometimes the program just freezes and I have to force quit it. Or it just won't playback.
    It was a entirely fresh install of the software. I'm a member of adobe cloud so I downloaded it from the application manager.
    I'm also running photoshop and inDesign which are working just fine. At the time i launched Premiere no other Adobe programs where running. Just programs as: textedit, mail and evernote.
    No third-party codecs installed.
    Tried to update Premiere with the latest updates but that didn't do any difference.

  • I need to make a stop start animation using iMovie. I need the time factor to be 0.03. Every time I make an adjustment it goes to 0.1s which is too slow. Does anyone have a suggestions?

    I need to make a stop start animation using iMovie. I need the time factor to be 0.03. Every time I make an adjustment it goes to 0.1s which is too slow. Does anyone have a suggestions?

    First, for Stop Motion Animation, there are better tools. These include iStopMotion and QuickTIme Pro Version 7.
    If you want to do it in iMovie, it is possible, but slow.
    First, go into iMovie Preferences, and make sure you check "Display Time as hh:mm:ss:frames". This will let you edit to the frame lever rather than to the nearest 10th of a second.
    Second, see this Tutorial by Jon Walker on how to edit down to a single frame in a still image sequence.
    You can modify his technique to get 2 or three frames.

  • Error-50 sharing imovie to quicktime

    I have been failing at getting my imovie into quicktime...its 212 minutes long and I'm saving it to an external Hard drive results in error-50...what is my problem? too long?
    last week before my previous hard drive crashed...it was error -39 and I made it as short as I could with same error -39.
    HELP! Is there a decrypter program for MAC that I could use?

    Hi James,
    just to add catspaw's excellent advices...:
    both error codes indicate some trouble with the file system.. esp -39 tells us, at the end of the file, "something's missing"... (I'm not an engineer, my words...)
    besides the fact, that 212min is VERY long (my audience falls asleep after TWENTY min of homebrewn projects), my guess is: you use some "computational codec" meaning, (you haven't told us, WHAT QT codec have choosen), I assume, you tried mpeg4, h263 etc.. so, Mac needs loooong time to render; external drive falls asleep (=standby)... and between wake-up and writing data, something got lost....
    step one: try again, set energy savings to zero...
    in case you're interested in "Apple errorcodes", google for it, my list is in German ;-))
