Can I import and edit 1080p and 720p in imovie 11

I just got a Sony NX 70u camcorder. First tests with 1080 60i easily edited in imovie 11. Eventually I want to film in either 1080 60p or 720 60p. I have never done that since this is the first camcorder I owned that has those files as an option. I know the 60p will be more work for the computer. Can I import the 60p files into imovie 11 without any other software and can I edit those files just as easily as the 60i? I have a 21.5" mac 2.7Ghz Intel core 5i and 8 GB of memory.

I should add one more thing.
I think your request is a reasonable one. It would be nice if iMovie would support 60P since more and more cameras have this feature. You can click iMovie/Provide Feedback and tell Apple that you would like this feature added.
If I had to guess why iMovie has not added support for 60P in iMovie, it would that  they would need to make it easy for the average consumer to understand how they can import 60P but output (Share) only 30P.

  • Can I import and open raw files on the new photo app?

    Hi,
    Can I import and open raw files on the new photos app on my ipad?  Does it convert it to jpeg automatically when you want to share them?
    Thanks.

    Clem is telling you to click on the View menu, move the pointer down to the item "Metadata," & from its choices make sure "Show Titles" is selected. Do this, then make sure you are in a view in the main window that shows one or more videos (or whatever) that you want to title. Click once on one of them, & if the separate Info window is not open, open that (on the Windows menu or command + i as a keyboard shortcut). In the Info window the top line will be "Add a Title."
    Click once on that & type your title.
    This works for any item, video or photo.

  • I can't import and view videos from a camera.

    I can't import and view videos from a camera.  Even if I open the file and copy the .avi files onto the hard drive.  I have tried iMovie, Quicktime, and Flip player.  Flip player will open it but I only get the audio,  Quicktime freezes, and iPhoto tries to automatically import only to then error saying the files are not compatible.

    Hello Hese,
    try the following:
    1. delete preferences (com.apple.iMovie.plist) and empty the trash
    2. repair disc permissions with Disc Utility and reboot your mac
    3. use Diskwarrior or MacJanitor for disc clean-up
    4. disconnect any other firewire devices
    5. take off any non-system desktop pictures
    If nothing else helps, you might want to consider resetting your Firewire port(s)

  • Can I import and view from a camara

    I was reading on the new that there are a few ways to import pictures from my Canon G5 camera. The two most common are the Belkin compact flash reader, or the apple iPod camera connector (I think it is called). the thing that plugs into the ipod and the camera plugs in through the USB plug. Is there anyway to import and view the pictures in the field from the Canon G5, or do I just import them as data and have to go through the computer later. This would be on a 5G iPod. Has anyone had success doing this in the field yet.

    Am a new iPod owner myself, but as I understand it, you can view thumbnails or iPod screen size renderings of the photos loaded into the unit. Suspect the functionality will depend on why you need to look at them and the level of detail required for your field work.

  • Looking for a program that can handel import and export of palm doc files

    I am looking for a program that can handel the import and export of palm doc Files that can convert them to to either txt or RTF files for Vista 32, running Palm Desktop 7.1.
    Could anyone give me a few suggestions of any plug-ins that would be good me?

    Post relates to: Palm IIIxe
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Ok, you need to clean uninstall Palm desktop 6.2. Install Palm desktop 4.1.4 and download and install documents to go version 6.
    Here are the clean uninstall instructioins for Vista.
    You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
    happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
    Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
    copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
    If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step.
    Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
    with Palm Desktop from your computer.
    Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
    C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
    C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
    PalmOne
    C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
    *Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
    into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
    hide hidden files.
    Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
    Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
    from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
    you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
    PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
    Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
    Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
    Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
    The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
    If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
    BUT do not turn off your computer.
    The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
    but if they are delete them)
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
    * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
    Next reboot your computer.
    Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. Use the username that is on the handheld.

  • How can i import and order photo books from older iPhoto versions?

    I have made a photobook which i have not ordered at apple yet. It's on another macbook still running iphoto 07 (unable to update iphoto, because to old for Mavericks)... Somehow i can't import this album on my laptop running iphoto 9.5.1 and order it from here...
    Does anyone have solution?

    Read again - the word "import" does not appear in either answeer - you never ever import one iPhoto library into another one
    books do not actually exist - they are simply database entries - so you have to move the entire iphoto library
    1 - rename it on the source machine
    2 - Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)
    3 -  drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac
    4 - depress the opeion key and launch iPhoto on the new mac
    5 -  select the library with the book, convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward
    - be sure to
    Before ordering your book preview it using this method -http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
    there may be differences in the book due to a new system

  • What are all the objects can be imported  and exported...

    Hi all,
    what are all the objects can be imported ..
    and what are all objects exported....in XI..
    and what is context objects and logical routing..
    Cheers,
    Raghavesh

    Hi,
    Your question 1 is not very clear. Are you taking about Export and Import under TOOLS --> EXPORT / IMPORT? If yes, all objects created in the IR and ID can be exported and improted. They are used for moving your objects from one environement to another .TPZ files.
    Individual Objects that can be improted in the IR  are those that come under
    1. External Definitions --> XSD, WSDL, DTD which acts
    as the message types.
    2. Idocs and RFC's.
    3. Imported Archives -->External Mapping progrars ( Java and XSLT ) , external .jar files etc.
    Context objects is nothing but to put in simple words an XPATH. At times XPATH can become too long and complex and to avoid typing them at different places, you create CONTEXT Objects for these path and then use them.
    Logical Routing refers to Conditional Receievr / Interface Determination where on the basis on some conditoon your target Recievr / Interface is determined.

  • Can I import and keep folder structure?

    I have thousands of pics and videos.  I'm willing to buy in to the whole iCloud experience (literally), but in my small experiments, I couldn't see how to import and KEEP the folders containing numerous pics.  For example, if I have 1000s of FAMILY pics, TRAVEL pics, and FRIEND pics, all in separate folders.   Can I import these pics (currently on Onedrive; I assume I can't import direct from Onedrive to iCloud.com?) keeping the separation and folder breakdown I worked so long to organize?  Every attempt I've made, strips the folder and throws all pics in together.  Yes, I know we can use clever tricks like geotags and dates to separate the photos to an extent.  But most of my photos don't contain that metadata.  And moreover, I've already manually done the work to my liking.  Any ideas?

    Import your folder structure to iPhoto, and then migrate the iPhoto Library to Photos.
    iPhoto will create an event for each folder you import and name it like the folder. You can simply drag the whole folder structure onto the iPhoto icon.
    When you open the iPhoto Library in Photos, Photos will create an album for each iPhoto event.

  • Can I import and export Camera Raw photos in Photos?

    I don't know where to ask this question because I don't see Photos listed in any of the Support Communities topics. I want to be able to import and export Camera Raw files in Photos. It only gives me the option to export in jpeg, tiff, or png formats. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    And the duplicate reply to your duplicate question - one posting is enough
    Photos is part of the os and the forum is under OS X

  • To buy or not to buy CUDA-Card while editing 1080p vs 720p. Advice needed!

    Hello folks,
    I am relatively new to editing, not so much to computers and technologies. I was happily editing some GoPro 720p footage. Nearly with no issues, specifically I can fly through the previews at up to 3x fast-forward. 4x brings up stuttering.
    Now as a contrast I started editing 1080p and it's a pain in the *ss. Above 2x (that is 3x and 4x) the stuttering while previewing footage in Premiere Pro CS6 starts.
    I've read the FAQs (specifically about optimization, CUDA, multi-core, and so on). I have a Quadcore Q9550, 8 GB RAM, SSD main for the OS, secondary SATA 7200 RPM and a third SATA disk. When I look at the task manager and I do the 3x fast-forward in 1080p (also in 720p for the case, no obvious differences actually) I cannot see any "bottleneck" in my hardware. The HDD/SSD drives are nearly not working, the CPU is about 50% and the RAM is also about 50% of usage.
    So I don't understand why this is happening? Do I actually need a CUDA graphics card? (Got a 9600 GT with 512MB RAM) Shouldn't the REST of the PCs hardware be completely "stressed" before I need to add a CUDA card to the system? Why doesn't it use the full CPU quadcore for the preview?
    I also have checked and re-checked the correct sequence settings, and have done it manually and also the "quick way" buy using "Make new sequence from clip". Results where the same.
    I appreciate your advice.
    Thanks in advance,
    marknekk

    Unlike Win8, Win7 Task Manager won't tell you much about disk I/O - Resource Monitor is a better tool for that.
    Windows 8 Task Manager:
    Note "active time", "average response time". Win8 Task Manager is awesome.
    Windows 7/8 Resource Monitor:
    You still get "active time" (blue graph), giving you an idea of utilization but not "response time".
    Have you tried doing a 3x playback test with the SSD you have? Put a video clip there temporarily, and do a 3x playback on it, see if the behavior is the same.
    Also, tried a 3x playback at 1/4th or 1/8th of resolution?

  • Importing and exporting DV iMovie 11

    Hello,
    I've recently shot a wedding on a Sony Z1 and V1 and am in the process of putting it together. I imported one of the tapes into iMovie and put together a short sequence before exporting it to see the results. I shot on DVCAM (Not HDV) but the output from iMovie 11 is vastly inferior to what I need.
    My questions are these:
    1. Is it possible to import raw dv footage from my HDV camera into iMovie.
    2. Once edited is it possible to export the sequence so that it is standard DV quality and interlaced (I do not need progressive footage as this degrades the quality of the footage as it is since I shot in 50i).
    If none of these are possible:
    1. Are there any previous versions of iMovie that are capable of this.
    2. Is there any other software out there that will let me import raw DV footage onto my Macbook?

    Are there any previous versions of iMovie that are capable of this.
    Yes, iMovie 06.
    The difference is the single field processing used by iMovie 08-11 (for faster editing) and the fact that it throws out every other horizontal line.
    Your workflow is editing DV clips and making DVDs, iMovie '06 is better suited. Your movie will arrive at iDVD in DV format, which is an ideal match for making a DVD: same resolution, same pixels, aspect ratio, and original quality.
    iMovie 06 and iDVD 09/11 is a 100% "lossless" combination and my DVD's look like they came from Hollywood!
    Fortunately, iMovie 06 is available on a physical disk, (part of iLife 06) and available on Amazon and eBay.

  • Why can't my daughter edit kadak playsport videos in imovie

    I purchased an iPad 2 for my daughter along with the camera connect kit and was told on two occasions in the apple store that she would be able to edit the video from her kodak playsport on it! This is not the case the video is imported but cannot be played or imported to imovie for editing! I find this incredible considering its a .mov file and works perfectly in the imovie version on my laptop. Can someone explain to me a workaround for this so I can show my daughter who is very disappointed with apple at the moment........ thanks in advance

    To jezz, Doug and Brian,
    If you have not already tried this, trash iMovie's preference file. It's in your user (Home) folder Library>Preferences and is named "com.apple.iMovie8.plist". Close iMovie before trashing the file. When next opened iMovie will create a new file with the default settings. You can change the settings if desired - in iMovie go to the menu item iMovie>Preferences and make any changes under each of the 4 tabs.
    The preference file can become corrupted at times - the main culprit being iMovie quitting unexpectedly or crashing, causing iMovie to behave abnormally. When problems arise with iMovie, the first troubleshooting tip is to trash the preference file. This doesn't always fix the problem, but is worth trying.
