Can I use an Imovie Clip Commercially?

I'm an advertising professional. One of my client liked my presentation that I made in Imovie asked me to finishe it as it is. Can I use it as a commercial film?

Thank you very much for the answer, Studio x. I'm using the music which was ready in the Imovie clip. The ready movie clip in the Imovie called ''Road Trip''. It's a blockbuster type  music that have in it. I replaced the images with my clients and leaved the music as it is. I couldn't find the autor and the name of it to search. I wonder if this music included in the Imovie clip has additional rights issues or I can use them without additional clearence in a commercial?

  • TS3356 Simple question I hope! I want to buy a camcorder by JVC but it uses a format called AVCHD. I believe this has to be converted before it can be used on iMovie. Can anyone tell me, in simple language, if this is so and how easy it is?

    I want to buy a new camcorder and am considering one by JVC. This one, plus a few others such as Sony use AVCHD. I gather this would be need converting before any editing can be done in imovie?? I cant find a simple answer to this question. It seems strange to me that Mac dont appear to support AVCHD when so many video camera companies use it. Can anyone advise please, in simple language as I am far from a computer geek!!!
    Is conversion a complicated or time consuming process and would it be simpler to fo for an MP4 type

    Most AVCHD camcorders can be used in iMovie without any conversion needed if they are imported directly from the camcorder.
    When you hear someone mention that you must convert AVCHD to use in iMovie, it is usually because they removed the files from the camcorder and only removed part of the files and folders. You need all of them to import to iMovie.
    However, you should check to see if the camcorder you are choosing will work in iMovie. Here is a list of compatible camcorders.

  • Using iMovie 2006. Afraid to use later versions for fear that I can't use many iMovies already archived. What shall I do?

    Using iMovie 2006. Afraid to use later versions for fear that I can't use many iMovies already archived. What shall I do?

    It would be a good idea to do close down all programs and do a permissions repair. Use the Utilities/Disk Utility application on your Mac hard drive and follow the on screen directions.
    After that, with iMovie closed trash the file com.apple.iMovie.plist file located in User/Library/Preferences. iMovie will create a new file on relaunch.
    If you are storing your project on an external hard drive, make sure that your external hard drive is formatted for Apple. Should be Mac OS extended. If you reformat, first remove all of your data on the external drive to another drive, because reformatting will erase all data on the drive.
    Update all of your iLife programs to current, particularly Quicktime.
    Finally, make sure that you have enough free disk space on your startup drive--at least 10GB, and more is better.

  • My Imovie continues to shut down every time i File-Import- then it pops up with everything i can import and right before im about to click on something it quits. I can't use my imovie until i figure this out, please help!

    Thanks so much Meg. Unfortunately, iTunes is the program I use to perform syncing. I don't really have other outside options. It is also the location of the backup I would use to restore my phone, and my only way to reclaim important data. I am concerned that, since the last backup occurred when the "other" bar was only moderately huge (around 29G I think), that a backup would replicate the problem back onto my phone. 
    My contacts, etc. are all in address book and the calendar app on my Mac.  As far as I know, iTunes is the way to get them back, but iTunes is where the problem is. 
    Any thoughts on this?

  • I am making a commercial for a contest. Can I use the iMovie music "Acoustic Sunrise" for free, or do I need some sort of permission?

    I just need a clear, understadable answer on this in lamens terms. I am putting together a short video to be entered into a commercial contest. If picked as a winner, it would be used as an online commercial. Can I use one of the iMovie songs "Acoustic Sunrise" without having to pay a fee, or asking for permission? Are all the songs/sound effects that come with iMovie mine to use without a fee/permission?
    I can't seem to find a clear answer on this. I tried reading the agreement, but forgive me, I am still not 100% sure what I can and can't do.
    Thanks to all help!

    Yes you can - maybe.
    These are all free to use, as clearly stated in section 2.C of the iLife Software License Agreement:

  • Can i use adobe softwares for commercial purpose while being in a trial period ?

    Can i use the following softwares for commercial use (e.g Developing a product ) while i am using their trial version ?
    1. Adobe after effects.
    2. Adobe illustrator.
    3. Adobe Photoshop/ photoshop extended.
    4. Adobe Premier Pro.
    5. Adobe Dreamweaver.

    Regarding the validity of my post here:  Actually there are several features that are turned off in various products that I have experienced in the past.  Acrobat pro trial for example does not have the ability to create reusable forms that can be edited by acrobat reader. But if you are saying that Adobe Media Encoder will render video in trial mode then this may have been part of my issue from the start as I brought this up in #26 of that issue
    I only brought this up in relationship to what I have experienced with Adobe Media Encoder in regards to running in trial mode.
    I am sorry if I seemed "snarky" it was certainly not my intent and while I can see where you can get that from an initial exchange, since you brought this to my attention:
    I openly and publicly apologize.
    Certainly this is not the place for that. I find that sometimes it does help to laugh at my own situation then let it get to me however. I am honestly trying to solve my issue and during the process of that discovery if there is any information that I discover in the process that may help others... well I hope that is one good reason to post things here.

  • Can I use Photoshop brushes for commercial purposes?

    Can I use photoshop brushes ready for commercial use in the design of pattern?
    For example, brush called "Grass" or ""Drop Leaves"?
    Thanks for your reply.

    Yes, brushes are yours to use in whatever way you see fit.

  • Can I use the trial version commercially?

    I've been hired to create illustrations for a book that will be published by a large publisher (who of course have a license themselves). I, however, only have a trial version. My questions are:
    1. Can I create the illustrations and have the publisher legally use them commercially "through their license", or do I need to purchase a license myself?
    2. Do I need to purchase a license in order to legally use the trial version commercially in the first place?
    The person I spoke with from the publisher knew surprisingly little about this, and I want to make sure.
    Thank you for your time.

    Actually that's not entirely true - it depends on what you want to do with it.  Per Adobe's CC Terms of Use (the software licensing agreement):
    (a) Evaluation Version. We may designate the Software or Services as “trial”, “evaluation”, “not for resale”, or other similar designation (“Evaluation Version”). You may install and use the Evaluation Version only during the evaluation period and only for evaluation purposes. You must not use any materials you produce with the Evaluation Version for anything other than non-commercial purposes.
    (It was also that way for CS6 and before.)

  • I can not get my imovie clips transferred to my external hard drive. I did it before but I don't remember how I did it. I tried dragging it and I tried moving it under the share tab too. Help!

    I have a Mac 10.8.2 and iMovie 08. I have uploaded movie's from my video camera onto iMovie, and now I cannot move them to my external hard drive. I was able to do this before, but I don't remember how I did it. I tried to drag it and I tried moving it by using the share tab.
    Any information on how I can go about transferring from iMovie to my external hard drive would be helpful.
                                                                     AND
    Any information on how I can transfer movies and pictures from my camera directly to my external hard drive would be helpful as well.
    Thank You!

    I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
    You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots.  Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
    See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
    You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.  
    The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library.  Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

  • Can I use the CS2 software commercially?

    is the software allows for the private as well as commercial use?

    Grab Photoshop and CS2 For Absolutely Free, Right Now
    Sam Gibbs -
    Adobe’s giving us all a late Christmas present. You can grab yourself a free, legitimate copy of Photoshop and the rest of the Creative Suite 2, right now, direct from Adobe. No catch.
    Well, unless you think having an Adobe account is a catch. Anyway, apparently Adobe’s tired of keeping the activation servers running to support legitimate installs of the 10-year-old CS2, so it’s decided to just give it away. Sounds great to me.
    Handy if all you need is a quick image editor, Photoshop CS2 will still do all the basic things, just not the new fancy smart ‘content aware‘ stuff. Free’s free, so get over to Adobe.com and get downloading. [Adobe via Twitter]
    Update: Adobe’s suffering server issues with the sheer number of people trying to download CS2 — it’s effectively being DDoS — so give it a while.
    Update     FORBES publish about FREE CS2 http://www.forbes.com/sites/adriankingsleyhughes/2013/01/07/download-adobe-cs2-application s-for-free/

    If you have a digital creative streak but your budget doesn’t extend far enough to buy Adobe’s Creative Suite applications, this is for you. Adobe have made available an array of applications from its Creative Suite 2 bundle — for free.
    Along with the ever-popular Photoshop CS2 are applications such as Premiere Pro CS2, InDesign CS2, and Illustrator CS2. If you want the whole bundle, the entire Creative Suite 2 is also available for download.
    CS2 is not new by any standards — it was first released in April 2005 — but it’s still a fantastic offer and capable of some serious work. And when the cost is just the time it takes to download it, it’s a real bargain.
    Download available here, with Windows and OS X versions available.
    Can you coment it ?  is it realy free for all ?

  • Now that iDVD is discontinued what can I use alongside iMovie to burn a dvd

    I have managed to transfer all my old home videos onto my computer but the instructions are to transfer them from iMovie directly into iDVD to burn them to disc. I dont have iDVD installed and have tried various other methods but cannot make a copy. I have installed miDVD and have managed to burn a dvd using this but there is no sound. Please help but keep it simple as I am not very good with computer jargon. Thanks.

    I don't know your iMac model number, you didn't supply it. But if it shipped with an OS X version prior to Lion, you should have 2 grey DVDs. The 2nd grey DVD may have included iLife applications.
    Otherwise, the only source would be a retail iLife 011 DVD. You may be able to find one on eBay.

  • Can anyone help find lost iMovie clips please?

    Hello,
    I've lost several iMovie clips from my iMovie, The Library list on the left on the screen still displays the titles, but when I click on them the window displays the title with "empty" next to it.
    I've tried restoring from my Time Machine back-up external disk but the results remain the same.
    I've tried looking at my iCloud account and can't see any movies there at all, including in iCloud Drive.
    I upgraded to iMovie 10.0.6 and it seems to have happened since then.
    Unfortunately the missing movies have been deleted from my camera so I can't reload them.
    I have uploaded some movie clips recently and they've worked fine.
    Is there any other way I might be able to recover these missing files?

    I've now recovered the missing files, however I have a further problem which I'm hoping someone can help with.
    I have just recovered some video clips which I had accidentally deleted. For some reason the recovered files couldn't be read by iMovie but when I tried iPhoto they did transfer into that. It took hours though.
    Now the movies are there they are showing as "clip" type with a unique number allocated to each clip.
    I want to bring them into iMovie so that I can include them with iMovie clips which are already there.
    I can't find a way to either send them to iMovie or import them into iMovie from iPhoto.
    If I want to use clips from both iMovie and iPhoto am I able to import them so I can compile a movie?

  • I have created a short clip, using the iMovie in-flight map.

    I am currently working on a free non-commercial online game, may i use this iMovie clip in my production, and release it online? I am having a hard time figuring out the copyright rules of iMovie samples. It is not very transparent.

    In the above link, Apple writes:

    How should interpret this?
