Can't create a DVD project in imovie

Each time I try to create an imovie while I'm in imovie, it tells me that it must have idvd 4 or above. I have idvd 5. I've reinstalled my software but it keep doing the same thing.
Can anyone help me on this? The movie's are finished in imovie, I just want to burn them to a dvd to play in regular dvd players.

Hi Bedg!
What are you trying to import into iMovie, and from what source?
What version of iMovie do you have?

  • How do I create a DVD from an iMovie '08 Project?

    How do I create a DVD from an iMovie '08 Project? I followed the directions in the help section but when I open iDVD, my project is "grayed out" and I cannot open it in iDVD.

    In general, in imovie Share to Media Browser or Share to iTunes.
    Then open iDVD. Open the Media Browser in iDVD (at bottom right of window). Navigate to your movies and you should see the movie you made. Drag it in to the iDVD project.

    When you move or copy the compound clips with their events into an external drive all the events should be there. Not clear on why you want to move them into a single event. You can drag and drop from one event to another.
    Why are you using compound clips? You can simply copy the project from each machine with used media onto the external drive and that should do it.

  • How can I save and recover projects in iMovie 09?

    I created a (slide show) project for the first time in iMovie 09, sent it to iTunes and then closed iMovie. The instructions said it should have automatically saved my work, but hwhen I opened iMovie again, the project was empty. When I go to the Finder and then Movies, then iMovies, then click on the project and do Get Info, it says it is 78 MB and that it was modified at the date and time I modified. If I right click and choose Show Package Contents, there is a folder there is  quick time file with  with the slides I used and a folder with the mv4 file. but the iMovie file is still blank.
    Why did iMovie not save the project? And is there some way to recover the project?
    Many thanks for any help.

    I don't think you can import a FCP X project to iMovie, but if I am wrong I guess someone will correct me.

  • Why can't i edit my project in imovie anymore??  (over 1 hr long) - is this a bug ?

    Hi
    There is a limiting factor that's easy to miss.
    • FREE SPACE on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk
    When this goes low then iMovie, Mac OS and all applications runs into problems. So to get a safe way to work (for me) I set a minimum that I try to never go lower than. (Sorry for strange sentence)
    I never let my Mac (Macintosh HD) go lower than 25GB free space. If it does - then I move away things to an external hard disk (always Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - as nothing else will do for VIDEO)
    Else - in iDVD Time is the limiting factor. (iMovie - I never run into any - my monster Vacation epos is >>6 hours)
    iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    • Best Performances
    (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.

  • Can one create 2 dvd's instead of a DL-DVD?

    Hi,
    Can one create two DVD's as output from Encore CS 5, instead of one DL-DVD?  This is a very big project - around 1.5 hours and I need to distribute to someone who might not have DL playback capabilities.  I really don't want to go back to Premiere to come up with two sequences and then transcode again.  This takes too much time.  If there are ways to do this outside of Encore and Premiere if it's not possible to do it within Encore alone, that would also be appreciated.
    I am assuming that what I want to do can't be done, from the following post:

    Thanks,

    Steve,
    Encore is not the tool for this. Going back to PrPro will save you a lot of grief, and will be much quicker.
    Just do the Exports for "Part 1," and then "Part 2." Do separate Projects in Encore, but you might want to do the setup first, without any Video and Audio Assets (except if used in Menus), and do a Save for this "template." Then, Open that "template" Project, do a Save_As (naming this Part 1), so you are not overwriting the "template," and then Import the unique Assets, link and Burn to Disc (Disc 1). Go back to the "template" do a Save_As (naming this Part 2), and repeat. Simple, and that "template" Project saves having to do the setup all over again.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Creating a new project in imovie '09

    Good afternoon.
    When a user creates a new project in iMovie '09 it gets put into the user's Movies folder. This is fine on a stand-alone, but with Network Home Directories it's not, because of the bandwidth needed to transfer files across our network. Is there any way for the user to decide where their new project is to be stored please?

    I also successfully created a still frame to a new project I created for this purpose.
    Move to a frame in your EVENT, control left-click and select "Add Still frame to project" from the pop-up menue. It will be added at the END of your selected project.
    After that, I am still trying to find a way to save that still to iPhoto'09 as a photo.

  • Can't create a new project in Logic pro . Goes straight to a midi file. Do I shut something down before trying to create a new project

    Can't create a new project in Logic pro . Goes straight to a midi file. Do I shut something down before trying to create a new project?

    When you open Logic, close the project that its automatically brought up (see CCT's answer above, which explains how you can change that behaviour, if you like - I usually want to listen to the last thing I was doing, but its your choice - and then File>New.
    So, yeah, you do have to close the currently loaded project first.

    This is a part of the larger MacBook Pro connectivity issue. There are several related threads dealing with the MBP's networking problems. If your unit is suffering from this type of difficulty, good luck ... (or a long ethernet cable)

  • Create a DVD project in UFF

    Hi all.
    I am wondering why I cannot create a DVD project in Upper field when most footage these days are in UFF (except DV)?
    When I burn my disc, the fielding is wrong because of the default LFF setting. It also defaults to 720x576.
    I am using CS6 -  desired project - PAL, 16:9, SD.
    Many thanks, Toni

    Hi, Andrew. Thank you for your prompt reply.
    I am working with Pro-res 422 HQ and 422 files which are all upper.
    This is not going into any editing package. AME is the default transcoder I am using for Encore.
    The masters come from overseas on tape (HDCAM SR) which are then transferred to file format.
    The HQ files are beautiful but once they are down converted to SD (in Encore) they really look awful.
    I know how to transcode them not to be in the wrong field but I was wondering why Encore limits to only PAL DV i.e. 720x576 lower when most file formats nowadays are upper and 16:9 is almost standard. Few 4x3 television set are sold these days. I have been submitting SD 16:9 (not HD) for many months now.
    Only recently have I started doing BD discs in Encore and because client wants the DVD to look exactly like the BD, I am authoring both in Encore.
    I think there is no answer to this because all my graphics are also stepped as well (unlike BD).
    I was hoping the Adobe Encore had a “fix” to include an aspect ratio of 16:9 as well as UFF and Progressive.
    Many thanks again for your help.

  • How can I burn a DVD of an iMovie 13 project using iDVD 7.1.2 version.

    I have a late model iMac which came with iDVD.  I use iMovie to make photo and movie projects and share them to  iDVD to burn DVDs.  I use these often and I love them, specially iDVD.
    When Mavericks came out I updated and of course it changed iMovie.  I just finished a photo project with music on iMovie and planned to transfer it to iDVD for burning DVD.  This is a family project and I want to distribute copies to the rest of the family.
    It turns out that I cannot use iDVD with the new iMovie version and/or Mavericks.
    iDVD does not contain the buttons that it used to have on each theme in order to play the DVD. 
    I cannot drag the movie into iDVD.
    What can I do so that I can use iDVD when I have an iMovie project to burn it on a DVD. 
    I can go back to the previous version of iMovie and still have Mavericks.
    I do not know, I am lost.  Why doesnt this work without any problems when updating the operting system.  Apple should take into consideration all the previous applications etc when it makes an older computer able to update to more current system.
    I appreciate any help offered.
    Thank you

    Export the slideshow out of iMovie via the File  ➙  Share ➙ File menu option as a 480p Quicktime movie.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
