Can I use Imovie to make a gif?

I'm interested in turning a short clip into a gif. Any simple step by steps out there? Thank you.

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 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!

How can I use iMovie to make my slow-mo videos sound exactly like on my iPhone 5S?

I just want to be able to put together a few slow motion clips exactly as they play on my phone. I am using iMovie '11. The iPhone 5S features a really neat pitch tweak effect that I would like to keep or at least emulate in iMovie. I've tried the "detach audio" feature but unfortunately it doesn't even sound close to how it sounds on my phone. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

When you have completed your lasso selection, you should see the "marching ants", the animated outline around the area you selected. Don't click in the photo again or you will lose your selection. When the selection is active (ants are marching), just press Ctrl+C (command+C on a mac) to copy the selection. Then you can paste it into another photo by using Ctrl+V (command+V), or go to File>New>From Clipboard to save the face into a separate file so you can use it later.

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

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.

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!:)
