Am I licensed to use music from iMovie on You Tube?

I made a video on iMovie with all original content. The only thing I used that was not mine was the (I thought) royalty free music and sound effects that iMovie supplies. I publised it on You Tube. I just recieved an email from YouTube mthat says:
Your video "Oregon Coast Ocean View Home for Sale - Port Orford", may have content that is owned or licensed by rumblefish, but it’s still available on YouTube! In some cases, ads may appear next to it.
This claim is not penalizing your account status. Visit your Copyright Notice page for more details on the policy applied to your video."
And my video now has ads playing next to it! You ube does this without any prior notification, nor any way to contact the supposed owners of the license/copyright.
Is this correct? Can they do this? If not, why is Apple allowing these guys to hijack our videos for profit?
Thanks for any insight.

This question comes up from time to time. YouTube and Facebook are both wrong.
Have a look here:

There are a number of con-men who think that they can earn a quick buck from claiming that they own the copyright to Apple’s royalty-free jingles and sound effects included with the iLife applications. These are all free to use.

Is it legal to create a company video using music from iMovie?

Hi, I'm making a presentation for my company using Prezi and am adding loop music to it from iMovie. It will be a corporate video that will appear on our homepage. The music from the iMovie (iPad) theme called "simple". I would just like confirmation that this is legal with respect to copyright. There have been some contradictory answers to this question on forums. Some people say that it's all royalty free as long as it's not used for commercial use (does this count as commercial use?). Others have said that they've had problems uploading the videos to youtube for copyright reasons.
Could someone clarify this for me? The last thing we want is a legal case against us for copyright infringement!
Thanks v much in advance!

In order to do effective time-lapse photography, you need two things - a tripod and an intervalometer. An intervalometer is a device to trip the shutter every X seconds. If you are going to play your time-lapse video at the usual 24 fps, you need to trip the shutter 24 times just for one second of video. Five minutes of video means 24 frames for one second X 60 for one minute X 5 = 7,200 frames.
Canon DSLRs have an input to accept a remote shutter release, but I don't think the smaller point-and-shoots have this capability. The SX 280 has WiFi capability, but I think that's only for sending pictures to your phone or social media sites. But… it might be possible to have your phone trip the shutter remotely (check your manual). If so, there are a number of iPhone apps (possibly Android too) that can act as intervalometers.
Good luck!

I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube,some of the photo near the beginning was corrupted.What steps should I take to export iMovie for youtube?

I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube, some of the photo near the beginning were corrupted on youtube. I tried a different photo, and the corruption took place at the same moment of the video. How do I prepare the video for export to get it ready for youtube? I wasn't sure whether to clik web or web streaming. Am I supposed to clik Quick Time after I clik Share?

I unfortunately cannot remember where I got the 'trrndlines' plugin... I assume that it must have been from CFX (as it is located under /Users/Dom/Library/iMovie/Plug-ins/cfx/XXXtrrndlines.bundle).
As for what it does, I also do not know, as I do not think I ever used it in my previous video projects.
At this stage, I think I just need to uninstall it so that iMovie doesnt try to use it.
Do you know how to uninstall a CFX plugin in iMovie?
NOTE: I have re-installed iMovie 6.0.4 (instead of iMovie 6.0.3), but still encounter the same issue.

Is there a way to use music from multiple users itunes libraries on one iMac for a slideshow in Aperture?

I am trying to put together a slide show for a trip my wife and I took to England. I would like to be able to use music from both our itunes libraries in the slide show. I am using Aperture to create the slide show since it seems to be more versatile than iPhoto for this. Only trouble is that when I log into my username on the iMac I only see my iTunes library and similar when logging into her username. We have different music but would like to use some from each library in the slide show.

You can only use one library at a time in an Aperture slideshow, so I'd suggest to simply collect the audio that you want to use in a folder (export the songs from both iTunes Libraries) and then import this folder to Aperture. Now you have a project containing the audio files; you will see it in the Aperture Audio section of the audio Browser, right above the iTunes section.
You can use the Apperture audio just like the audio in iTunes to drag to the timeline of your slideshow.

How can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

how can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

If you mean iTunes Store accounts, there's really nothing for you to do. Just add the tracks to the iTunes library and play them. Music purchased prior to late-2009 will been to be authorized, though. Pull down Store > Authorize... and type the credentials of the Apple ID used to buy the tracks.
If you mean something else, please describe in more detail.

I cannot get sound from the web, you tube, etc, however, my speakers are on and my itunes play sound? What gives?

Hi,
Try the following.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
Flash Player Uninstaller.
When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the notebook.
Next, download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.
Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
Launch Firefox and see if Youtube videos etc play Ok - if they do, close Firefox, open IE and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component. When done, restart IE.
Regards,
DP-K

How can I get the background music from iMovie trailer, "Romance"to be used in another imovie?

Is there any way to download the background music from the iMovie trailer template "Romance" to be used in another iMovie of greater length than that of a trailer?

In addition to Tom's good advice, another method is to access the audio file in iMovie's package contents folder.
In Finder, in the Applications folder, right-click (or control-click) on iMovie.app and select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu. Open the folder Contents>Resources. In that folder you will find components for each Trailer, including the soundtrack. The file you are seeking is named "SoundTrack - Romance.m4a".
Copy then paste the file to your Desktop (don't otherwise mess with items in package contents folders!). Open the file in QuickTime - it is titled "Love Story FC2". Opening the Inspector in QuickTime (Window>Show Movie Inspector) reveals it as AAC format. If you wish, as Tom indicated, you can Export the file from QuickTime in other sound formats, such as AIFF. If preferred, you can import either the AAC file or the converted file to iTunes (or other audio apps) for use as required.

How do I use music from different ID's in iMovie

I am "upconverting" my old iMovie swim shows to HD, which means remastering and re-linking some of my videos and even some of my pix.
We have been using iMovie since 2008 so I know it's changed a lot but there's one thing that's become really aggravating and I'm hoping there's an answer.
When we first started, we bought songs under two different ID's (big mistake--never do that!) and used songs from both ID's in previous iMovies without a problem. But iMovie '10 refuses to let me use songs from a different ID, even though I have authorized this computer for songs from that ID, and I have the password to the account, etc. etc.
And here's the really aggravating part: It's only a few songs and at this point, it's not worth my time to figure it out. I'll just buy the music again and give the no-good record industry a little extra cash for something I presumably own. EXCEPT iTunes thinks I already own that song (I do) so it won't let me buy it again, even if I delete it.
Now I'm really stuck. iMovie won't let me use the music from another ID, but iTunes won't let me buy it on the new ID cuz it knows I own it from the old one. Arrrgggggh!

First of all if you havent done it yet i think u shold authorize the mac on both accounts on itunes. You also can switch the accounts on your Iphones at itunes while you are in the internet adn download the music.
This is just an idea you should think of. For sure there are other ways I dont know.

Using music from itunes store

Hey everybody,
This is my problem: I recently purchased an audio track from iTunes Music Store, in mp4. When trying to run it on FCP, to use it in a film of mine, it turns out mute, unreadable by the application. I tried changing the extention of the music file from mp4 to mp3 or wav, but it didn't work. I also tried exporting the music file as a Quick Time Movie, but FCP still won't read it.
Can anyone help me with that?
Thank you very much.
Stef.
P.S. This song is very rare, I already tried looking for a CD somewhere; there is none.

If it is "protected AAC" from iTunes, it cannot be used in FCP, iMovie, et al. iTunes will not transcode it, either, other than to burn it on a CD as AIFF (hint).
If the film is for other than your personal use, you need a synchronization license to use it with video of any type (and I'm not sure about the personal use, either, what with the Millennium Copyright act and its restriction on "reverse engineering").

How can you use music from a different itunes account on the same iphone

i bought my iphone 4s and had an apple id. then changed my apple id, but lost my music on my phone. can i keep music on my phone from another apple id, itunes?

Paid content purchased from the itunes store is always assigned to a single apple id. You will be unable to use the purchased content on another apple id.
Next time you change your apple id instead of creating an entire new apple id just change the primary email address to the email you would like to use.
e.g. current apple id is [email protected] but you want to change it. what you do is:
- go to appleid.apple.com
- select manage apple id
- sign in
From here what you want to do is change/edit your current primary email which in this case is [email protected] Simply select edit and enter the new email you would like as your apple id. Lastly you will be sent a verification email to verify the email addres and TADA your done.

TA22652 Some of my music was purchased with an old email address which I no longer have. I have forgotten the password to it and can no longer use music from old account. We moved and no longer have the same email service, but would like to use all music

Some of my music was purchased with an old email address (old account) which is no longer valid. Since it has been a long time since we used the email address we no longer know the password. Now I can't access the music from my old account due to using a new computer. I've purchased the music and downloaded cds with the old account and need to be able to get my music.
Thank you!!

Using music from a pc

I sort of wrote about this earlier today but not sure I framed the question correctly.
My 16 y.o. daughter has a PC and she down loads tons of junk. After running Norton Anti Virus on her computer today I see she has a number of trojans on her PC.
She has sent me music from her computer and I've put it in my iTunes. I'm not sure where she got the music (some I know is from iTunes but some is probably from places she shouldn't get it like limewire, etc). I know those places are notorious for having viruses and trojan in some of their downloads.
Could my iMac somehow pick up her trojans that are in her PC or do those trojans only infect PC's? I'm a new Mac user so I'm not sure how that works?
Susan

Shouldn't be a problem. A trojan written and compiled for Windows just isn't going to run on OS X.
