Can I use imovie 4 on leopard

Hi,
Have just tried the new imovie8 and it can't do what the old one can. Can I download iMovie 4 and use it on leopard?
iMovie 6hd requires me to reinstall iLife 8 and I am traveling and can't do it for a couple of weeks. My next hope is Imovie 4.
Any help appreciated.
Tony

Ooh, now the guessing begins. I assume you've got the iMovie 6 download, but just can't install it.
I wonder if it might be as simple as a Permissions Repair with Disk Utility.

  • Can I use iMovie HD6 on new Core i5/i6 iMac?

    Can I use iMovie HD6 on new Core i5/i6 iMac with Snow Leopard? If not what older iMac version do I need? I want to be able to edit HDV mini-tapes (from Canon HV20) and retain excellent quality (no deinterlacing), and that's why I cannot use iMovie 8 or 9.

    It wS the first thing I did, I even closed the iMac and unpluged it held the onbutton for 10 second, then resRted but tonosucces, I am writing from my iPad.

  • When I open iMovie, the app searches for missing iPhoto files.  These are files I deleted.  I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie.  How do I make this stop?

    When I open iMovie (09), the app searches for missing iPhoto files.  These are files I deleted.  I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie.  How do I make this stop?

    So it seems the issue is when iMovie is wanting to creat thumbnails, if I ask it to ignore then it's fine but if not it hangs up searching for the video file.

    i think you confused us with the question 4 times!?
    you can use Motion aas a stand alone app, which can output quicktimes to any codec you want, which can then be used in any app that accepts these codecs. But you wont be able to (AFAIK) import a motion project into iMovie and use it as a clip like you can in fcpx

  • Can I use Imovie 6 to combine edit songs and combine them?

    I would like to import some songs, cut some of them in half, and make them into one big song.  Can I use iMove or is there a better free program for that?

  • Can I use imovie on my Mac to view CCTV from a nest box?

    Can I use Imovie to view live film from a CCTV in a nest box?
    Do I need a digital converter?

    Photos in photo stream...
    You can log into your iCloud account on another computer or device and enable photo stream to see your photos. You should do this as soon as possible because photo stream in the cloud only keeps photos for 30 days and each day you delay, you will lose another days photos.
    Photos in the camera roll...
    If you kept a back up of your device you can use it to restore to a replacement device, this will restore all of the photos in your camera roll and isn't time limited.
    You can't do anything with the back up on your Mac, but if your photos are in back up, you might look for a friend who will let you erase their phone and restore from your back up.

  • Can I use IMovie HD 6.4 with Final Cut Express?

    Can I use IMovie HD 6.4 with Final Cut Express?

    Hi
    Yes and no.
    You can't get an editable material over from one to the other.
    eg a misspelled word in iMovie project can't be corrected in FCE/P any version.
    I use iMovie combined with FCE/P in just one case when there are to many drop outs
    on the raw material eg recorded in LP-mode (90min on a 60min tape)
    Then iMovie can import in a more forgiving way.
    BUT
    When this material is moved over to FCE/P the audio parts needs to be rendered
    not just one time but whenever any change is done. A very nearv-wrecking and tedious
    procedure.
    Summary. Joint project should use same platform. In my cases me and friend has
    each one full version of FCE4 and an external hard disk that contain the movie
    project.
    This we exchange with each other to do each the parts that we are on best to do.

  • Can I use iMovie 09 but stay with iPhoto 08???

    Hello,
    QUESTION: Can I install iLife '09 but still keep iPhoto '08 and use iPhoto '08 instead of iPhoto '09 but use the other iLife '09 programs??
    BACKGROUND: I am installing Leopard (after much delay...) and I believe iMovie '09 (part of iLife '09) has a timeline and more features (vs iMovie '08) plus easier to use etc. So I think I want to make my first projects with my 8 hours of vacation videos via my Canon FS100 using iMovie 09 - can put in chapters and such, too I believe.
    BUT in trialing iPhoto 09 on another computer, I see that for now at least, I don't want the geographic info / the faces etc. and kinda prefer to stay with iPhoto '08 for now with my 25,000 photos over the past 5 years...
    *Is that possible to do?-*
    Thanks for any comments--
    Regards,
    Steve

    Thanks for the fast and informative reply!
    1. iPhoto 09: This converts all the iPhoto Library photos to another format not recognized by iPhoto 08. OK I have several copies on several LaCie external HD's - but I'm wondering if my 30 gb 2008 iPhoto library will now turn into 50 gb in iPhoto 09???
    2. Speed: I've been afraid that on my 3 year old MB iPhoto 09 may run much slower than iPhoto '08. You say not much performance hit - but I enjoy fast-- and next Mac (will that be #15 in 20 years?!- at least!!) likely to be a MB Pro - or maybe the fastest desktop I can afford?!?
    3. I'm not using FaceBook / Flickr at this time - just MobileMe
    iMovie 09: I hope one can insert chapters! Would not want to have to go via HDiMovie06 / garageband to do this-- hey, I've got everything downloaded, but haven't made a single movie / DVD yet! Really I'd like to just get about an hour or two of my 8 hours onto a DVD that looks OK - for a first "YES!" - would you say iMovie '09 is going to be easier to "master" than 08?
    Thanks very much!! -- and if anyone can let me know if iPhoto 08 / iPhoto 09 can exist together - and if so, how to do this during installation - cuz it seems iPhoto 09 deletes previous iPhotos...

  • Bought iLife '09 but can't use iMovie '09 - what now?

    While deleting stuff to make room on my Mac to install Leopard, I deleted iMovie because I bought the Mac Box Set and figured I wouldn't need it since I was about to install iMovie '09.
    As I'm installing iLife, I read that I don't have the correct processor - this little tidbit of info wasn't on the box or anyplace else I looked. I figured if I could install the Leopard part of the Box Set, I could install the iLife part. I bought the box set including iLife because of all those apps iMovie was what I wanted most.
    The ability to use iMovie was why I bought 2GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage the day before.
    Is there a way to at least get the version between '09 and what I had originally? I've still got the install disk for iMovie 2 but I'm really feeling like I got ripped off here.

    Sorry.
    The system requirements can be found at the Apple Web Sites and the iMovie requirements changed with iLife '08.
    Not many software vendors offer returns or substitutions so the buyer must do their homework prior to purchase.
    When iMovie version 7 shipped (iLife '08) Apple did offer a free download of iMovie HD version 6.0.4. That has been removed since the release of iLife '09.
    BTW, you will not be able to install Snow Leopard for the same reason.

  • How Can I Use IMovie with 6TB of Home Movies?

    I have 6TB of home movies on a Thunderbolt WD hard drive.  Recently the thumbnails and video has stopped loading and I can't get IMovie to load it all up.  Is there any solution to use this much video with IMovie?

    Thanks so much Karsten.   So the fact I'm doing all this now is basically a culmination of (a) old mini-DV technology which meant dealing with the tapes was a hassle for many years (b) Mom & Dad just taking alot of video of alot of the kids, family trips, births, parties, first day's of school, etc. over about a 15+ year period and (c) Now that we finally have the technology to start to deal with all these tapes WITHOUT making DVDs (I tried several years ago, just way to time intensive) and we have big hard drive technology relatively cheaply, I'm trying to tackle this.
    The first step was importing 300+ min-DV tapes into IMovie, which took the better part of a year, on and off.  I now have three back-up drives of all that data.  (BTW, I am a die-hard MAC user so everything has to be MAC compatible). 
    My primary goal for the near term is really not to try to craft neat summarized videos of family events.  That will come later.  The initial goal it to get all of this into some understandable and usable format.  For starters, when pulled up in Imovie, this 15 years of video all just comes out as a gazillion NEW EVENT 3-12-2004-type headings, organized chronologically, which is essential, but with no ability to really know what is what.  I've gone through about a third of the headings and renamed, merged and split them into events with names like Billy's Third Birthday Party or New Zealand Trip Day 5 or Sally's First Day at School, etc. etc.  No editing of the actual content what-so-ever at this point. 
    What I have discovered, in the process, though, is that the kids LOVE to watch the unedited video of themselves as children...I have to turn it off to get them to stop watching.  Videoing them watching the video actually makes for great video, because they find it a laugh a minute, they vaguely remember various things and places and they have tons of questions about their past childhood.  That's largely what this record was kept for.
    Thus, my immediate goal is to get it all into a format with Events all named properly so we know where important events are located, and from there, I'd ideally like to be able to convert key events to Iphone/Ipad/Apple TV mediums to the kids can watch some of it when they'd like - unedited. 
    The next step (maybe a year or so down the road) is to actually start to try to make the edited "Christmas Party 1998" video, vs. just the raw footage, for the wider family and friends that participated.  A single edited video though can take hours and hours I've learned the hard way. 
    The problem I'm having is that as I brought in the last 1TB or so of video (2010-2013) from my current Imovie library (which is all digital to start with, no mini-DV tapes involved), now IMovie has stopped loading all the thumbnails (it loads only a portion), so combining, merging, splitting and naming Events is very difficult. 
    I tried importing it all into FCPX using the free trial, but I found that for whatever reason, instead of ordering things chronologically starting in 1996 forward, that the dates only start in 2012.  Somehow FCPX doesn't recognize the encoded date the video was shot, but instead the dates that I copied it onto my current hard drive.    Can't figure that out, but it makes it impossible to then organize things easily by date since all the events are scattered all around, instead of in chronological order.
    Sorry this is long, but this is the problem I'm facing.  I'd really appreciate an expert's opinion of how to tackle this!:)

  • Can I use imovie to make a movie by first making a soundtrack and then adding video clips to illustrate the sound track?

    I want to make a movie using imovie 11.
    I want to import still photos taken from the inet and import video clips of myself over the stills. I also want this movei to illustrate a soundtrack of my singing with a karaoke file.
    Is this possible?
    How would I get my voice singing with the itune song so my singing and the itune become one track?
    Then could I use that soundtrack to build the movie, rather than start with video an add soundtrack?
    This is an ambitions project.
    HELP!

    Hi
    This is a No and Yes question.
    No You can not add Audio first in any iMovie from iMovie'08 (version 7.0.x) and onwards. You need to use FinalCut Pro X to do this - Where it's rather straight forward.
    Yes - it is a bit tedious but can be faked in iMovie - by first creating a Black .jpg photo. Add this to TimeLine in iMovie as many times (and at max duration) to reserve the time the movie will use. Then add Your Audo track. Then add Your photo and videosequences. There are a function in iMovie that let's You replace the original video with the one You want to insert - "Cutaway" - Then continue till all Black parts are replaced. Movie done !
    But really - take a look at FinalCut where this is much easier.

  • Can't use iMovie 7 (iLife '08)

    Hi there
    I have just upgraded my iLife suite from iLife '06 (original with my Mac Mini) to iLife '08. All is well except with iMovie I get the following message 'You can't use this version of the application iMoviewith this version of Mac OS X. You have iMovie 7,0'  I still have iMovie HD (6.0.3) installed (albeit in a folder called iMovie previous version) which still works. My OS version is 10.6.8.
    Any ideas? All help is greatly appreciated.
    Cheers
    Jonty

    Hi there
    I had already done one update but not to 7.1.4. All working great now. It's cool that you can retain iMovie HD and use iMovie 7 independantly.
    Many thanks for the help

  • Can I use iMovie to edit and enhance both video and audio of my homemade DVDs?

    I have a lot of homemade DVDs converted from old VHS tapes. The video and audio quality need to be edited/enhanced. Can I use my iMovie 11 for this task? If not what are my options? Thanks.

    Hi
    There are several layers to this Q
    • VHS-tapes has a low quiality as is
    • converted to sort of .mpe2 to a DVD to be played on standard DVD-player - Quality is futher lost
    • converting it back to DV or AIC - and more quality is lost
    • edit it in iMovie'08 to 11 - even more quality is lost due to that when going from Event's to Project's - every second line building up the picture is discarded (as non of them - iM'08 to 11 - works woith interlaced SD-video
    So if quality is of any interest - I would - and are doing
    • Converting from VHS-tapes
    - via a CANOPUS ADVC-300 - to digital
    - in via FireWire to
    - to iMovie HD6 or FinalCut (any version) - asa they all keep 100% of the interlaced SD-quality
    - edit and put out on miniDV tape (still 100% preserved) or to a DVD made in iDVD with all that keep as high quality possibly. (No Video-DVD can keep 100% quality - it's due to standard and amount of compressing)
    If Quality is of no importance - then
    • DVDs needs to be converted to DV or AIC and this is no free standard on any Mac - You need a converting program as
    - MPEG StreamClip (free on internet) + BUT it needs the .mpeg2 Component from Apple to work ($20)
    - Roxio Toast™ - can also be used to back engineer - BUT this cost's much more - still to me all extras was more than worth it
    - Analog way - DVD-player - A/D-box - import via FireWire
