A suggestion for frustrated iMovie 8 users

Well, now that I've had a chance to play around with it for a few days, I have a few comments that MAY be helpful.
For those of us who have an investment in third party iMovie plugins, and love working with the timeline, yes we can still use iMovie 06, but any transitions, titles, etc, get lost if we import the project into 08 to take advantage of some of those features like cropping.
The answer is, of course, to export the project as an HD Quicktime movie, then import THAT into iMovie 08. All your transitions etc will stay intact.
Once that is done, you can re-export if you want to send it back to 06 if you want to put in chapter markers or use other nice features.

Respectfully - that sounds like a lot of importing and exporting between two DIFFERENT programs - again iMovie 8 is a complete rewrite - so why does anyone expect them to be compatible anyway? Fact is they really are not. I have used iMovie since it's inception.... iMovie 8 in MY OPINION is not iMovie - it's like this weird crossbreed between windows movie faker and iphoto. Why do I want all my previously shot video to appear... everytime I open imovie???? Do you have any idea how much video is on my 500GB hard drive? Maybe there is some I don't want popping up.... So really this is a silly " feature" If decide I want to add an old clip - we could always do this anyway - drag and drop - it is in now. Simple.
I have made up my own easy solution here: I will just stick with using iMovie 6. I have ALL the Gee three plug ins which is like iMovie on steroids or something like that... and 8 does not support any 3rd party plug ins????? No export back to DV tape on my camera - How do you remove that???? iMovie 8 should of been called something else - it is something else. I have no use for it -
I also would like to add to the person who commented below that a professional video person wouldn't even look at iMovie. WRONG - the beauty of iMovie is the simplistic timeline - cut cut cut - clip clip - my first raw edit is always done in iMovie, ( it is at least 40X faster then doing this in FCP) then once I have culled my footage to the best of the best - I use plug ins NOT available in FCP or other high end video editing programs - with the Gee three plug ins I can add Zooms - spins - wild FX quick = cheap - then I take the project into FCP for completion. iMovie is a HUGE time saver for professional video editiors - LOTS of us use it.

  • Suggestion for next imovie

    Any specs on the next imovie?? One thing I would like to see in future versions is an area to have more video clips in the timeframe. Just like you have the ability to have 2 audio tracks, they should increase the video to 2-3 video so you can cut and edit video alot easier. I like how simple imovie is but have switched over to FCE HD and have found it a bit difficult to edit multiple video clips. I usually record using 2-3 cameras at one time and enjoy the simplicity of imovie.

    welcome Sebring to the  board...
    ... very unlikely... as you realized: iM is for simplicity and convenience, FC(E) is for a more.. pro attitude.
    the average camcorder user is a guy as me: Daddy & son go to the Zoo - fill a tape with impressions, import, edit, add titles & music - done.- look at the metaphor/User Interface of iM: sorting slides... we've done that 80 year ago.. (no, not me, I'm not THAT old...) editing multi-camera/multi-angle footage is way beyond that, you can do that "live" in a broadcast truck or as a Hollywood editor...
    as said: unlikely to see that feature… there's a free edit-tool, offering that feature, probably more usable for your needs: HyperEngineAV ....
    ... oops: ToU don't allow to speculate here... so, we shouldn't mention future versions of iM... Jan'07... next keynote?

    Hi Mark
    Was just looking for the answer to this exact question and I just found something that worked for me so don't know if it might be of use to you or you might have already solved your problem!  Basically when I was in iMovie and I clicked to import movies from the computer into iMovie and I found the clip I wanted to import, there are a few options.  I think it asked which Event I wanted to add it to but most importantly it asked me what file size I wanted...I had originally been clicking Large because it advised me to because it reduces the file size...but just on a chance there I selected 'Full - Original' for size and it imported perfectly into iMovie in it's original vertical form!
    Hope this helps!

    Then I'd check the system drive, if it has problems.
    To check your System drive boot into the Recovery Partition, see: OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
    Restart your Mac and hold down the Command key and the R key (Command-R), and keep holding them until the Apple icon appears, indicating that your Mac is starting up.
    You will see a panel, where you can use Disk Utility to check your System Drive.

  • Any suggestions for an animation program using photographs that can be incorporated into iMovie or Final Cut express?

    Any suggestions for an animation program using photographs that can be incorporated into iMovie or Final Cut express?

    The MTS files will always be grayed out. Do not drill down into the folder structure. Select the top level of the AVCHD folder structure. If this is a hard drive it may take a very long time to load. People have reported 20 minutes to half an hour.
    Other possible problems, conflicts with other software like Perian. Also if there is mixed media on the drive; media in different formats can make the directory unreadable. What are the exact specifications of your media? What settings are you using in FCE?

  • ICloud Keychain won't suggest passwords for existing Facebook users

    I've been monkeying around with the icloud keychain for the last two days and it definately behaves erraticlay. Sometimes it will make suggestions on the first try. Sometimes I need to log out of a website and log back in for it to work.
    Anyways my main issue is it wont remember or suggest passwords from within the Facebook settings for an existing user. It will suggest a password if you want to signup for a new account that is out of the question.
    Ive cleared the keychain of any existing passwords for FB, is this something to do with FB's own internal security settings? Ive messed arrounf with those but nothing seemed to make a diference.
    Does anybody have any ideas for a work arround?

    Hi judysings and thank you to answer.
    Unfortunately, I already tried the steps :
    iCloud Keychain is not syncing with other devices.
    and
    I restored my iOS device from iCloud Backup, but my iCloud Keychain items are not there.
    several times with no success. (I'm not concerned by the other steps.)
    I even restored my Mac and my iPhone as new today... still no iCloud Keychain sync between them.

  • Drive setup suggestion for multiple users editing simultaneously?

    At work here, a city college, not a professional company or broadcast studio, so resources are limited, we often have three people editing HDV content simultaneously in Final Cut Pro.
    Keeping the content on our multiple backup servers, there's simply too much network traffic to do this smoothly.
    Instead of keeping projects locally spread across multiple machines, I would like one centralized place for everything, for the Macs to access directly over gigabit or something else.
    So, what kind of setup do you guys suggest for this?
    The machines here are two quad-core G5s (no RAID or fiber-channel right now), and a Core2Duo iMac, F400 only.
    Again, it'd need to be able to handle three HDV projects going on simultaneously without skipping due to having to seek back and forth all over the drive.
    Thanks.

    Yes, an XSan system would perfectly fit the bill for what you want to do, but an XSAN is not a cheap solution. When it is all said and done, it will cost you tens of thousands of dollars.
    The best, cheap solution would be to use Firewire drives. I would not duplicate a project onto three drives, because you will then always be trying to figure out which version is the most current. Instead, keep all of your project, capture scratch and render files on the firewire drives. Then move the drive to whichever computer you want to do the editing on.
    Properly log & capture all your footage, then archive all your project files, because Firewire hard drives will fail over time, loosing all the info on the discs. I did say this was the cheap solution. "Cheap" does have its costs…

    iMovie for Mac: "iMovie cannot open files in the "iMovie for iOS Project" format."
    iMovie for iOS: "An error occurred during export."
    Frustration
    Manufacturer: Apple (a multibillion dollar company)
    The year: 2015
    Hours lost: Three Weeks
    Total costs for both devices: $4,000
    Background Details
    I just wasted thousands of dollars on these two hardware devices by making the rookie mistake of assuming projects were compatible across iMovie applications. However, the exported .iMovieMobile project files are in an incompatible iMovie for iOS Project format that iMovie for Mac cannot import. So I am stuck with a 15 GB .iMovieMobile project file--for an hour-long+ video--that I created and I was editing on my iPhone for weeks that I can no longer edit on my iPhone due to an error, nor potentially rescue the lost hours on my Mac, the sole reason I purchased it one day ago. The reason I can no longer edit the project on the iPhone is because iMovie for iOS suddenly stopped displaying the video of the project in preview, external display, etc. The clip snapshots remain visible and the audio remains audible, but the video appears fully black. Any attempt to export the video at any resolution generates an error message. (This error applies only to this project; other projects export without issue.) I can save to and from iTunes or iCloud without issue, but import into iMovie for Mac is unavailable for this latest version. Deleting and reinstalling the app does not resolve the issue. Nothing has resolved this issue; so I purchased the Mac as a last attempt, and it appears that I will have to begin the meticulously painful process of recreating the video from scratch with all the titling, sound effects, precise edits, transitions, organization, etc. This video was to surprise my mother for her birthday with "this is your life" footage, including my late father. It may seem like a small first-world problem, but such things carry big emotional impacts. What began as such a wonderfully intuitive and joyful experience has descended into a soul-suffering nightmare of catastrophic proportions. This software grinch stole christmas.
    Likely Suspect
    I believe this originated from Apple's confusingly designed iTunes client that removed videos used by iMovie for IOS during a sync, which I successfully restored back to the iPhone. This apparently resulted in iOS seeking and then claiming to find all of the videos, but somehow a bug in the coding causes the audio to play but not display video, and no way to resolve the bug from an enduser standpoint. I was hoping that iMovie for Mac would allow me a workaround, but I'll never know because the iOS and Mac formats are currently and dishearteningly incompatible.
    Suggestions
    I never performed a full backup of the iPhone, but I don't believe any of the iCloud nor local backups actually backup iMovie projects themselves anyway. (That's a fail.) So one must back them up manually to iTunes or iCloud.
    MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS DAILY, IF NOT HOURLY.
    MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS BEFORE IMPORTING OR SYNCING FROM ITUNES.
    MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS BEFORE IMPORTING VIDEO CREATED OUTSIDE  OF YOUR IOS DEVICE.
    Resolutions
    Hope Apple fixes this problem soon? Perhaps.
    Return the Mac to Apple, if they allow? Perhaps.
    Someone in this community will provide a magical workaround--that I haven't already attempted? Perhaps.
    As unlikely these options may be, I shudder to imagine that I may be forced to suffer no resolution and $3,000+ completely down the drain, because if iMovie for IOS worked as intended, I wouldn't have ever purchased the Mac as a last ditch effort to rescue the project. It meant that much to me to surprise my mother by attempting to retrieve this project file from oblivion--but to no avail.

    I appreciate you taking the time to copy and paste boilerplate responses to increase your points in this forum, but I've already read all those support articles in depth; but you have barely read my post at all. Please don't guess a fix. Only someone with the latest versions of iMovie, iOS, iPhone, Yosemite, and MacBook Pro is qualified to troubleshoot this, because anyone would immediately see that the following option no longer exists:
    Open iMovie on your Mac, and choose File > Import > iMovie for iOS Project.
    Read my post before you reply: It clearly says in the title and within my post that I can neither export nor import through iTunes without receiving an error message. So your response neither solved my question nor helped me whatsoever.

  • IWEB SUGGESTIONS FOR APPLE

    First, if Apple actually takes the time to read these Discussions, let me say, "Thanks!" I love Apple.
    Second, I don't claim to be an expert, nor do I consider myself a uber-geek with incredible technical prowess.
    I've just been playing around with iWeb, and have some suggestions for future updates, another 'Wish List' if you will;
    1. The improvements to iPhoto are numerous and impressive, but iPhoto could use just a more photo tweaking in the realm of jpeg sizing. This would help integrate it with many iLife apps, especially iWeb.
    2. GarageBand, likewise, also keeps getting better and better, but it too could use a little boost in the way it deals with file size and the overall affect on one's system. Just having the old 'go to GarageBand Help' popup gets a little frustrating. Optimizing should be more directly accessible in the user interface.
    3. Creating easy access to, and integration of third party 'add ons' would be a really great way to deal with the current iWeb blogging limitations. Just as with many other blog systems, users could choose which various plug in enhancements they want on their iWeb blog.
    If Apple made blog plug-ins easy to do, everybody would win. As with FireFox, for example, a community of iWeb enthusiasts could help develop and build iWeb into a super powerful app, via such user chosen add ons. Perhaps iWeb could be 'opened' up just a bit more, to let some more community light shine in?
    That's just my two cents.
    Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or just plain crazy, or post your own suggestions.
    Thanks.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   iBook, Airport, Original iPod, Bondi Blue, what about you?

    Make sure you send your iWeb comments directed at Apple to them via the iWeb > Provide iWeb Feedback menu item. Ideas for Garage Band and iPhoto are better posted in the forums and feedback channels devoted to those programs than here.

  • Feature suggestions for Lightroom 3

    Hi team,
    Here's a quick summary of some ideas for LR3.  Not sure how late in the dev cycle you guys are (we've seen one public beta so far, I would expect 2 or 3 before you go RTM, and features have not yet been frozen according to my reading):
    * Perspective correction / Keystoning: This has been mentioned a lot here and on other forums - a no-brainer, especially considering that DNG 1.3 specifications allow for it
    * Individual RGB channel control: Something that Capture One & Bibble 5 also have. It's time LR added this feature also, I think
    * Soft-proofing: Hate to bang the drum on this one, but the LR interface could benefit from a readout of which colour space we're operating in for the current image, along with the ability to change this (I would think a simple drop down would do the trick, similar to the Tone Curve type).  This is especially true on account of the fact that Library and Develop use different color spaces to display images (not a bug, a feature - but an obscure one at that)
    * Layers: While I understand the LR team's resistance to layers as a concept (or at least calling it that, since the Adjustment Brush effectively - and very nicely - implements layers in a fashion), it would be handy to have.  For example - let me rearrange the order in which Adjustments are applied.  As a panel in Develop, this could easily be ignored by anyone not wanting to use (or who doesn't understand) Layers as part of their workflow.  Leaving it out to "keep things simple" is not a good idea, IMMHO.  After all, LR is targetted primarily at Pro Photographers and Advanced Enthusiasts - who should know how to use Layers, or at least be willing to learn!
    * If not layers, then perhaps a list of Adjustment Brush pins in a scrollable list, so I can select them based on the adjustments I've made.  Perhaps I could then re-order this list?  The key challenge here would be how best to label each one?
    * Selections / Adjustment Brush: Having Bezier, Rectangle, Ellipse and Free-form as selection options (along with the ability to invert these easily so I can do "Negative" selections where that's quicker) would be fantastic - this is something LightZone and Bibble both have
    * Paint with Preset: At the moment, the range of settings I can apply with the Adjustment Brush is limited to a half-dozen or so.  I can't paint White Balance, Sharpening (at least not with masking), Noise Reduction, or HSL adjustments, for example.  This would give me lots of very granular control.  It would be fabulous if we had a "Paint with Preset" option or a "Preset Brush" that let me create a Preset, then paint it on at various opacities (combined with the ability to invert selections, this would be extremely powerful).
    * Blend Brush: An alternative to the Paint With Preset might be the ability to "Paint with another Image" over the current one.  This might be useful for blending multiple exposures (e.g. to remove people in landscapes, or to do simple selective HDR blending from multiple exposures).  Having the ability to set the "Blend Mode" (similar to PS's Blend Modes) might also be helpful.  I imagine this new brush would work in a similar fashion to the current Adjustment brush, only it would be combining information from multiple images.  It might be useful to have a "2-up" display similar to compare mode that shows the "Source" and "Target" images side by side (with the ability to zoom in and out)
    * Grayscale Wedge: Would it be possible to have a greyscale wedge that could be displayed beside or underneath an image in Develop?  LightZone has a fantastic implementation of controlling image Zone information using a simple point and click on the wedge.  Well worth checking out.  It would certainly make adjusting tones in the image a lot more intuitive for some people.  I think this concept could be taken a step further.
    * Luminosity Mask: The ability to "Auto Mask" an image based on its luminosity (i.e. which Zone an area falls into) would be way cool as part of the Adjustment Brush.  That way, you could control individual zones easily.  I imagine this tool would have 2 sliders: "Luminosity" (from light to dark) - which would determine the "target" luminosity to Mask; and "Threshold" which would determine the "Width" of the selection in tonal terms.  Holding down the Option key on either slider would show a dynamically generated Mask overlay to help me determine which areas the Mask is applying to
    * Color Mask: See Luminosity Mask above. Same idea, but based on Color.  Perhaps a Color Picker tool would enable me to isolate a Color and create a Mask (which I could then refine using the Erase or AB tools if necessary).  This would have HSL sliders to select the target color, and a "Threshold" slider to control the "Tolerance" either side.  Again, using the Option key would give me a preview similar to the Sharpening / NR tools
    * Perhaps the Selection Tools,  Luminosity and Color Masks above could be combined into a "Smart Mask" panel (or panels) in the Adjustment Brush tool, making it more consistent with the current interface, and making it much easier to create masks with the Adjustment Brush
    * Ability to Maintain Color Profiles inside LR, without having to restart.  I use the X-rite CC Passport to generate Color Profiles at almost every shoot.  It might be helpful to have an easy way to maintain these Profiles (and to share them like we can share presets!).  At very least, add an option in Preferences to open the appropriate Folder so I don't have to go hunting for it.
    While the early LR3 beta is encouraging, I do think it is missing many user-requested features, and features its "competitors" already have.  In my view, Lightroom needs to stay ahead of the curve to gain market share.
    Once again, congratulations on creating a fantastic tool in Lightroom.  It just keeps getting better with every version (LR3 looks amazing so far for an early beta - love the improved demosaic sharpness and NR).
    Hope these suggestions are helpful.
    Cheers,
    Matthew

    Six changes that would be basic improvements - sorry if these look like bug reports, but they have lasted through all the updates and upgrades and I consider them to be overripe for improvement.
    For mouse-heavy users it would be helpful to have a Grid icon in the toolbar in the Develop module, the same as appears in the Library module.
    The consistency of having a Done button in all places that present a secondary work screen would make leaving those screens simpler.
    When organizing folders, keeping the focus local after a Delete would be good, instead of the focus jumping up to a higher level as it does, requiring a search for your location. If you're making a lot of changes this can be time-consuming and frustrating. I know some other program do this, but not all and it's solvable.
    When moving a folder of files, the last file doesn't get moved and could wind up in some random place if you don't suspect this and go after it to move it by itself. This seems to be unique to Lightroom.
    In leaving Compare, it's not clear which image you're keeping because the filename isn't visible, only the rating (if used). Changing the rating to exit can disable the Done button. To get it back it shouldn't be necessary to swap the images. Why not use a more standard release action like the Escape key?
    In LR 3.3, when using the noise reduction slider the option to update the whole filmstrip to use version 2010 is available only if the demonstration "compare" screen is retained with a box checked. If you uncheck that box, there's no way to get that screen back the next time, so the option to update to 2010 for the whole filmstrip at once is gone and subsequently requires one-by-one clicking to update. This could be simpler and faster.
    I use LR every day and teach it, but I may have missed something so forgive my naming ills that have already been mentioned. Thanks for listening. DKD

  • Suggestions For Lightroom

    The first change Adobe should make for the improvement of Lightroom is this Forum. I personally find this forum extremely difficult to navigate. It's cluttered, difficult to read and seemingly archaic compared to the Apple Forums.
    Here are my others suggestions for Lightroom:
    -Allow the ability to select Quick Collection images and Delete them from the disk not just Remove them from the quick collection. The benefit here would be that we could select images from several different folders that might be of the same subject/situation that had been loaded at a different time but still are similar images to others in the collection. This would allow us to clean up redundant images from any number of different folders. Presently when we select Quick Collection images and hit delete it just removes them from the Quick collection leaving them on the hard drive. I want an option to get rid of them from the hard drive.
    -When trying to move images from bottom of a gallery to the top of a gallery and there are hundreds of images, grabbing the ones to move up, when getting to the edge of the gallery, the gallery doesnt move consistently.
    -When in the compare mode it would be nice to have the file name below each image in the bar that contains the Star rating and pick or reject flag.
    -When in the survey mode it would be helpful to differentiate the X & / more effectively. Why not highlight the X in Red and leave the / the color that it is.
    -Include a Preference option that allows us to always have the Spell Check enabled when a catalog is opened. Presently you have to continually remember to turn this feature on each time a catalog is opened.
    -Spell check does not ignore when I select the Ignore option. Seems to be a bug
    -When I select Check Spelling it comes up with the spell check box, up comes the suspect word. I click ignore and nothing happens, I select Next and nothing happens. Bug?
    -Would be nice if P-Picks and X-Rejects could be toggled on and off with the corresponding key.
    -when loading images from a camera card you have the option to have it load to folders. Presently it loads images to folders, dating those folders by the day the images were shot. It would be nice to be able to tell the loading procedure to create folders by the day images are imported.
    -When loading images from camera card you can select a secondary destination. I would like to see the secondary destination look identical to the first destination. Not something completely different as it is now.
    -When using the sequential numbering optin for renaming files on import, the last number in the sequence should be remembered by lightroom and the next import should take off where the last import ended. Photo Mechanic works like this as well as Nikon View and Picture Project.
    -Is there a way to see more than one line of the caption in the Grid/thumbnail mode? If not that would be beneficial.
    -When you select flags and rejects are hidden or shown, currently the grid view goes back to the top of the file/grid. It would be nice if the grid view would stay at the current selection
    -would be nice if during the input of captions, while in the minimal Metadata mode, that the main Metadata window would scroll down as you type a long caption. Presently when a caption goes beyond the window at the bottom of the Metadata pane you have to stop and scroll the Metadata/caption pane down to see what you are typing.
    -I change metadata in MS Expression and tell it to synch with original NEF. It does which you can see by taking the same image into Photoshop and looking at the metadata there. However, the same metadata does not synch in Lightroom even though I have save to XMP enabled..
    -Bug? Going from Grid view to D-Develop. Adjust the exposure and Lightroom hangs up. Have to Force Quit LR to get it back.

    In leaving Compare, it's not clear which image you're keeping because the filename isn't visible, only the rating (if used). Changing the rating to exit can disable the Done button. To get it back it shouldn't be necessary to swap the images. Why not use a more standard release action like the Escape key?
    In LR 3.3, when using the noise reduction slider the option to update the whole filmstrip to use version 2010 is available only if the demonstration "compare" screen is retained with a box checked. If you uncheck that box, there's no way to get that screen back the next time, so the option to update to 2010 for the whole filmstrip at once is gone and subsequently requires one-by-one clicking to update. This could be simpler and faster.
    I use LR every day and teach it, but I may have missed something so forgive my naming ills that have already been mentioned. Thanks for listening. DKD

  • Purchase Orders form in Query Only mode for a single user

    Hi All,
    I want to make the Purchase Orders form as query only for a single user. I tried by giving 'Query_only=Yes' in the parameters section. I am getting 'FRM-04151: You cannot query records here' message more than 10 time. I know we get this message and this is applicable to all the users. But this message is comming more than 10 times.
    Is there anyway that I can restrict the Query only mode to a single user and please suggest about the message also.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Naresh
