Can I video edit on iMovie '06 wirelessly?

I want to video edit wirelessly from an external hard drive hooked up to an airport extreme. Would it have the speed to work with iMovie '06?

All Apple computers come with iMovie that will allow you to edit DV movies. I have a 1.0GHz G4 12" PowerBook and I use it often to edit DV with Final Cut Express and DVD Studio Pro. Certainly one of the current iBook G4s with a 1.33GHz G4 processor could do an even better job. Apple has worked hard to make sure their hardware and software is capable of being your "digital hub" and this includes video. The only restriction you might have is hard drive size. DV can take up quite a bit of hard drive space. Get the largest capacity hard drive you can. You will probably also want to increase your RAM, but you can do that later. It's more difficult to get a bigger internal hard drive.

I an trying to do video editing with iMovie 11 9.0.8, i have no sound. OS X Lion 10.7.5 is my operating system any suggestions Please.

I am trying to do video editing with iMovie 11 9.0.8 . I am running OS X Lion 10.7.5 I have no sound,any suggestions please.

This seems to have fixed the issue: on your desktop, hold down the [OPT] key and click on "Go" in the menu bar; holding down the [OPT] click on Library, find Preferences, and then delete all the files that start with "com.apple.itunes.XXXX.plist" where the "XXX" is whatever other things may exist - as long as they end in "plist". From my experience, preference files are rebuilt by the system after the next restart, so you have very little worry of losing any important data; the worst that could happen )and NOT in this instance, but for other plist files) is that you may have to reset the application "preferences" again when you next start it up, to act or appear in a "preferred" customized way for you.
Once you delete the .plist files, empty the Trash, and either log out or restart the computer. Once you're back up and operational, start iTunes and your iDevices should reappear in the sidebar (if that's open) and/or at the top of the screen (if that view is enabled).
Hope that helps. It definitely fixed my problem!

Mpeg video editing in iMovie

I am new to a Mac and have downloaded mpeg video files for editing in iMovie from my PC. I have bought the QT component so that I can view the video on the Mac, which I could not do before, but I cannot import into iMovie. What do I need to do to edit my movies? I am very fustrated that I cannot do this.

Get MPEG Streamclip (which is free) and convert your clips to Apple Intermediate Codec. Then use File/Import to import into iMovie.

Cannot import video edited on imovie app

Please help, im a pc user trying to import a video I have edited using imovie, i have exported it to my camera roll but it will not import when I use picasa or any other way you can import using a mass storage device on a pc, Ive tried everything, dragging and dropping from my computer. Any ideas??? by the way this is happening with two different iphones I own. cannot import any video edited with imovie

I believe the only way you can share a movie edited with iMovie on your phone is:
* Email
* MMS (multimedia message)
* YouTube
* MobileMe Gallery
If on a Mac, you can export your finished movies to the Camera Roll and then bring them into iMovie on your Mac.

Can i video edit on the I book?

Hello,
i was in my local apple store looking at the base model apple iBook,the one with the 12" screen and combo drive. I asked about video editing and the guy said yes it can do it as there is software included for this. I have my doubts and i dont really see how this machine has enough power to video edit say an hours worth of video at reasonable speed. I am in the market for a new latop and im stuck between the ibook (base model) and
this Toshiba new model

They are both similar prices in the UK, the Tosh being a little bit more expensive but it seems like a way more powerful machine. Ive never had a Mac before..all feedback welcome

How to merge audio in a clip during video editing in iMovie?

How and tnxs for reading.
Here the question:
I have a video file which has a bad audio R track and a good audio L one. I would like to edit the video, standard operations like cut, merge, etc...
However I would like to take the audio R track out. Since I do not see any available feature for this I exported the audio track to another audio software and did the operation there. After that I imported the audio L track only in my iMovie (v 10) project, aligned to the clip, I deleted the original audio from the clip, and now I have a perfect project with the original clip with a good audio track.
However, since I would like to work now on the project itself, it'd be great to merge the audio (which is now separated) to the clip, in order to maintain the proper audio with the clip during my cut/paste/etc operations. Is there any special feature I can use for this?
If not, I know I can export the project to a new video file and then open a new iMovie project where I can import the new video file and start again from it, but I am wondering if there is an easier way since in my opinion I had to do already to much work for an easy op like this which would have been fixed easily with the old versions of iMovie.
Tnxs.

Thanks for your reply!
While your answer is helpful, it's not a desired solution for me because the comp track is one channel of a multi-channel recording (two different mics). I don't want to drag a new take into the comp track because the comp track is grouped with other comp tracks for editing purposes, and I don't want to disturb the editing I've already done.
It seems like I "should" be able to select a region in the arrange window and "re-link" the file to any other file in the audio bin (thereby replacing the file with the other). After years of working in graphic layout programs, such as Adobe InDesign, I'm expecting this sort of feature to exist already. I'm pretty sure I've seen it before... but I've used Cubase, Digital Performer, Studio One and Pro Tools, and I'm not sure where I saw it.
Have I described what I'm looking for clearly? I'm not sure it's coming across in what I've written. Can Logic do this?

Which iMac for Video Editing?

Hi Folks,
After about 7 years with my Dell 4550 I am close to making a purchase of a new Mac and leaving the Windows world - Yeah!!! My decision is now coming down to how much I should spend on the video card. Basically it is a 300-500 premium to upgrade to the discrete video cards compared to the integrated graphics in the 2.66 model (granted you do get a ~10% faster processor at 2.93 as well).
What I am wondering is that for video editing (using iMovie) is there a significant difference in performance of the machine based on the video card? I do not play video games on the computer much as I have a Wii and XBOX already to have that area covered. Primarily I will use it for iTunes, iPhoto and HD Video (have a new baby we need to record!)
So my choices are mainly these three configurations to select from:
iMac, 24-inch, 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Part Number: Z0FP
2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB
1.0TB Serial ATA Drive
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M
$1599
iMac, 24-inch, 2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Part Number: Z0FQ
2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB
1.0TB Serial ATA Drive
NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 256MB
$1899
iMac, 24-inch, 2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Part Number: Z0FQ
2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB
1.0TB Serial ATA Drive
NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 512MB
$2049
iMac, 24-inch, 2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Part Number: Z0FQ
2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB
1.0TB Serial ATA Drive
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB
$2099
Since I will not be gaming, are the more expensive video cards worth the premium in relation to video editing, iTunes and iPhoto main purposes of the computer?

I wouldn't stress it much. I recently bought a new iMac, but for years I have been editing my home movies with iMovie on my old G4 eMac. Granted these are standard def movies, not HD, but the point is, a lot of video editing doesn't require a lot of video horsepower. Most of your time will be spent scanning through thumbnails, picking parts to cut out, etc. None of it requires fantastic video displays and most of the time you are not paying attention to the quality of the playback (as long as it isn't stuttering) and are more concentrating on the content to figure out what you want to keep, trim, edit, etc. 90+% of the time you are not actually watching a lot of video simply playing.
So get what you can reasonably afford. If you can afford the best model, then go ahead and get it. But if money is a little tight and you have to make some tradeoffs, with digital video you will want to put money towards storage. Hard drive space gets used up FAST. So get the 1TB upgrade and invest some cash toward one or two large external hard drives (one dedicated just to storing your video and then the other for back ups, extra misc. storage, time machine, etc.). Fortunately external hard drives these days are about $100 give or take per Terabyte. For the drive you will want to use for your video work, I suggest spending the extra cash and getting a model with Firewire 800 connection, not just USB.
Have fun,
Patrick

New 21.5 iMac for video editing - which graphics

I am thinking of upgrading a 3 year old Intel iMac to one of the new ones. The only beefy think I want to do on it is video editing with iMovie. My main question is whether I would benefit significantly from specifying the ATI graphics rather than Nvidia for this task. I suspect that it will be more than good enough with the cheaper graphics, but any thoughts ?

Simon (UK) wrote:
Choosing a faster discreet GPU with its own memory is always the way to go, especially for video
So is first class air travel and 5* hotels However, there is a law of diminishing returns on the cash outlay. If I admit it my 3 year old Mac is up to the job, but I like shiny new Macs. Just wanted a feel for whether I would actually notice a significant performance improvement between those machines when running iMovie.

Can a video be revised after it's been saved?

Indeed, it can. However, if you modify it after it's been published or shared, you'll need to republish/reshare it.

How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad? Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility? I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move. Any ideas?

I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move. Any ideas? (The clips are in a .mov format, they have been imported / converted into this format in iMovie, original files were from a JVC camcorder in some other strange format.)

I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places. I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file. There must be something else that's missing. My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive. If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
My back-up drive is a mess. I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={ Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period. I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive. Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me). As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

How can two users work on iMovie? My husband is working on a memorial video for a family member who passed, I plan to edit but he had to take his computer to work. I have the iMovie project on a zip drive. How do I get it to open in my imovie?

You will need an external drive that is formatted as MAC OS EXTENDED (journaled).
Move the Project, Events, and any photos and music to the external drive by following the instructions in this post.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4141
Be sure to use CONSOLIDATE MEDIA to get the photos and music. Then plug this drive into your computer and you will be able to edit.

Can I edit out the middle of a video clip in iMovie?

I know how to crop the beginning or end of a video, but I would like to crop out a section in the middle. I don't want to lose the part following the cropped frames. What must I do? Thanks for any advice you can offer. Miriam

Can I edit out the middle of a video clip in iMovie?
Yes.
What must I do?
Basically you have three options:
1) If the clip is in the "Event" window, simply select (i.e., set and adjust if necessary "in" and 'out" points) the segment you want and transfer it to your "Project" window and place it where you want it.
2) If the clip is already in the "Project" window, simply select (i.e., set and adjust if necessary "in" and 'out" points) the segment you want to keep...
a) and press the "Split" option in the edit menu (or the "Split Clip" option in the context menu) to divide the clip into three segments. Then select each of the segments you don't want and press the "Delete" key to remove them from the "Project" window.
b) or, even easier, simply press the "Trim to Selection" option in the "Edit" menu.
All of these work flows do not physically remove anything from the "Event" but merely perform a non-destructive edit of the project for the purpose of later output.
