Can't export my iMovie to Quicktime in the right size.

When I share my file to a quicktime format,"CD-Rom" I get a 20Mb file and when I share it to "Full-Quality" I get a 1,3Gb file. I need to export a file that would weight about 700Mb. Should I use "Expert- Setting", if yes, what settings in it because I have tried but the estimated time had gone over 250mns.
Ps: The imovie project is 2mns 40s.
Thanks alot

How can I export an imovie in a pc format?

How can I export an iMovie to a format that will work on a PC?

Easiest was is to install QuickTime for Windows (which is free from Apple) on the PC. Then any iMovie-created file will work.
If you do not have permission to install QuickTime for Windows on your PC (this could be the case for a corporate PC, for example), then I would suggest using SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose Movie to MP4. Choose h.264 for the video codec.

Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

Hi, Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

Absolutely. Go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie (do NOT use QuickTime Conversion). Make sure you check the Self-Contained box. The export will be an exact copy of your Sequence, complete with any filters or other effects you've added. Import the self-contained movie back into the project (or another project) if needed.

Turn off Time Machine before you open iMovie. It's a semi-known issue right now.

You need to update the software. This is a very old version that will not work with the current OS. Did you purchase the software from the App Store? If do sign in with the Apple ID used to buy it. Go to the Purchases page and find the software.

Hi
Error -108 memFullErr Ran out of memory [not enough room in heap zone]
Turn off - TimeMachine usually works - re-try.
(the Application down in the Dock - not the Device)
But this can mean many thing's - My first thought is

How do I design my posters on Photoshop touch for ipad, to be A0 and export them to creative cloud at the same size???

How do I design my posters on Photoshop touch for ipad, to be A0 and export them to creative cloud at the same size???
every time I do it it comes out at a fraction of the size and not even an A size...
Please help

A0 is pretty big if you go at a high DPI for printing. It's about 10000 x 14000 pixels at 300 DPI.
PS Touch can handle about 12 Megapixel image imports (which is about 4000 x 3000 pixels). PS Touch, interestingly, can create 4096 x 4096 pixel projects from scratch.
Adding to that, PS Touch always exports at 72 DPI. Take note that this is probably due to tablet hardware. Tablet hardware is "getting there" but it still has a ways to go before it matches its desktop cousin.

Great tip Stephen!!
I was so frustated from this issue that I used to use Windows iTunes for mass editing info, adding Lyrics etc and then transfering songs to Mac. This tip has alleviated my pain!!
Thanks for the tip. This question should be tagged as answered.

Can't make text the right size

HI , I'm having a frustrating problem. I'm trying to get the text announcing the levels in my game to be the right size when it's online. It works fine offline, but when I put the swf up online the text looks like it's about 2.4 instead of 24 like I am trying to get it. Here's the code in the start game method:
public function startGame():void
canFire = true;
paperHeadlineIsAdded = false;
NumOfDrops = 0;
pastLevelTwenty = false;
gameIsOver = false;
speedVar = 90;
textRemoved = true;
origNumOfPlanes = 25;
waitForNewLife = false;
newLevel = false;
bombDropSpeed = 3;
NumOfPlanes = origNumOfPlanes;
airplanes = [];
bullets = [];
bombs = [];
// init score
lives = 3;
shotsLeft = 10;
shotsHit = 0;
showGameScore();
levelNum = 1;
iconArray = [];
// create gun
aagun = new AAGun();
aagun.gotoAndStop(57);
addChild(aagun);
// create object arrays
airplanes = new Array();
bullets = new Array();
bombs = new Array();
//text formatting
textFormat = new TextFormat();
textFormat.font=font.fontName;
textFormat.font = "Guadalupe";
textFormat.size = 24;
textFormat.align = "center";
textFormat.color = 0xffffff;
trace(getChildAt(numChildren-1).name);
livesIcons();
// listen for keyboard
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keyDownFunction);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP,keyUpFunction);
//setup your fireTimer and attach a listener to it.
fireTimer = new Timer(300, 1);
fireTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, fireTimerHandler, false, 0, true);
// look for collisions
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onEnterFrame);
var siren:Sound = new Siren();
chanD = siren.play(0,800);
// start planes flying
setNextPlane();
and here's the rest of the code that puts the text up in this method:
public function wait():void {
if(levelNum>19){
thisIsTheEnd();
pastLevelTwenty = true;
gameIsOver = true;
newLevel = false;
if(newLevel == true){
if(aagun.aagunGone == false){
textFormat = new TextFormat();
textFormat.font=font.fontName;
textFormat.font = "Guadalupe";
textFormat.size = 24;
textFormat.align = "center";
textFormat.color = 0xffffff;
levelNum ++;
speedVar+= 25;
newLevelText = new TextField();
newLevelText.width = 550;
newLevelText.y = 110;
newLevelText.selectable = false;
newLevelText.defaultTextFormat = textFormat;
newLevelText.embedFonts=true
newLevelText.defaultTextFormat.size = 24;
newLevelText.text = "Level "+ String(levelNum);
waitForNewLife = true;
addChild(newLevelText);
textRemoved = false;
if (gameIsOver != true){
waitTimer = new Timer(5000,1);
waitTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, startNewLife);
waitTimer.start();
anyone have an idea why this is happening? Please let me know. Thank you.

I can't upload the html file with the swf because the place I have my game uploaded only asks for an swf file. Do you know why it doesn't work? when I load the html in my browser it works but not just the swf online.

Is there a tool available that can be executed by another process to scale the actual size of a PDF?

Is there a tool available that can be executed by another process to scale the actual size of the printed PDF file by X%? We are attaching PDF files to printed output using the Oracle DocuMaker product, and are running into margin issues with the attached PDF. We need to keep a 3/4 inch margin on our pages for sorting/finishing equipment, and the attached PDFs do not all conform to our margin requirements.

What email program are you using? And what do you mean by "Safari mail"?

Hi, I need a video editing software for my Power Mac G5 system. Hunted all over for one! Can anyone help me and point me in the right direction. Everything I come across is for intel based systems. Many thanks in advance.

I have Final Cut Studio V1 - the PPC/Intel V5/5.1 cross-grade version, which would suit your requirements perfectly. (I have it for sale at present down here).
If you keep looking, you're sure to find a similar second hand copy in your area, without the need to upgrade your graphics card.
I'd go for Final Cut Pro as above over any version of Express. FCP has the full version of LiveType - not the truncated version that was released later on.

Match the photos to the size of the Sequence is one way.
Scale to Fit is another (Right Click Option)
Efects > Motion>Scale... is another

Exporting from imovie to quicktime movie

I have a 1080i HD movie in imovie I want to export to a quicktime file. In imovie the file is 50 gigabites. When I export at full quality it turns it from 16:9 to 4:3. When I go to expert settings and render it to a quicktime movie only the sound comes through...no video. This only happens with this particular movie. Other short movies I have are compressed to quicktime in HD just fine. I need suggestions how to render this from imovie to quicktime so I can keep the video in HD.

I tried that and it makes a file without
video...sound only.
Itsounds like you didn't have the Sound box checked.

Can't Export from FCE to QuickTime Movie w/o recompression

I have problems with choosing the correct settings for export of a FCE video clip to QuickTime Movie. I want the best possible quality (without recompression).
In the manual it says:
"Exporting a Self-Contained Movie Without Recompressing the Media
If you choose to export a self-contained movie, you have the option to not recompress the media in your clip or sequence. If you deselect the Recompress All Frames option and choose Current Settings from the Setting pop-up menu, Final Cut Express simply copies frames from existing media files into the new file with no recompression."
I can't find that option in FCE 4.01 - is it a mistake in the manual? My source media was captured from miniDV tape and the captured media file has the following formate:
Codec: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, Linear PCM, Timecode
Color profile: SD (6-1-6)
Total bit rate: 29,794
My exported file has this format:
Dimensions: 720 x 480
Codec: Linear PCM, H.264
Color Profile: SD (6-1-6)
Audio Channels: 2
Total bit rate: 2,151
I have seen this question in the FCE archive and people simply say there is no recompression in FCE Export to QT Movie, but clearly there is since I see the H.264 codec listed in my output file and the bit-rate is a about 1/14th the rate of the original source material. The output file size is also much smaller. What gives. How can I get an unrecompressed file out of FCE so I can send it to a coworker for futher editing with his FCE.

Does anyone else have anything to add to this thread. I'm, sure I'm using Export to QuickTime Movie and not using QuickTime Conversion and from the file specifications I've given above, it is clear that a 14:1 compression took place.

Double check:
There are only three options in the QuickTime Movie export window.
1. Include: The Audio and Video, Audio Only or Video Only.
2. Markers: Select whateve you want or don't want.
3. The Make Movie Self-Contained selection check box.
Is this what you see?
The export will mirror the Sequence or selected part of the Sequence.

I can't export in iMovie '13

I cannot export my project from iMovie '13! I spent a lot of time on this project and can' just start over in iMovie'11. Is there a way to either fix this and export from iMovie '13, or can I somehow get the project into iMovie '11 and export from there? Whenever I press Command+E, it makers that sound that means you can'tdo it, and all the share options are greyed out.
Also, I don't know if this has to do with it, but when I take out my video card, some of the videos can't play, even though it says it is done importing....

The resolution of a project is set by the first video clip added and can't be changed manually. Since you have no video clips it may be setting the resolution to 720p which seems to be the default. Is this what you see?
The only solution I am aware of is to start a new project and add any 1080p video clip. Then copy everything from your present project to the new one. You should then be ablt to delete the video clip and the new project should stay set to 1080p.
