Can't get my iMovie into iDVD 4.0.1

I am having great difficulties getting my iMovie into iDVD. (Have made many dvds in the past from iMovie and never had a problem so this is new.) I have tried every way to do it (when previously had no problem just clicking on "Create DVD" pane). The movie won't show up on iDVD when I do this now. Either just "My Great DVD" comes up or a previous iDVD project. I have tried via Share/iDVD; I have tried to import from iDVD (get an "unsupported file type - invalid video" message). Any ideas? Thanks!

The movie that's in the iDVD folder (of the Shared Movies folder) contains chapter information. If you imported that movie to iDVD, iDVD should have delivered chapters.
Make sure your iDVD preferences are set to accept chapters.
If nothing works, this failure of iMovie 5 to export to iDVD suggests some kind of underlying problem. I suspect something is corrupt in the video or audio content.
Try importing that made-for-iDVD movie I mentioned to a NEW iMovie 5 project. (Drag it to the Timeline of the project.) That should deliver "cleaner" video/audio. Add your chapters to THAT project, send it to iDVD. Everything might start working as it should.

  • How can I get an mpeg4 iMovie into iDVD?

    How can I import an mpeg4 iMovie into iDVD?

    Hi omeza,
    Above is what i have already did
    Sorry, but there is no VI…
    had a problem, its either none of the data points acquired happens to fall in to that range…
    Then either your range or your checking algorithm is wrong…
    please provide with a link to use PFI0
    Manual of the USB6009…
    Rotary encoder usually output TTL-like signals. In case it's a sine wave (as it seems to with your own) you could use a simple Schmitt trigger circuit to create a TTL signal from it. Use the PFI0 counter to count those TTL pulses…
    Best regards,

  • Why can't I import old imovies into idvd?

    Why can't I import old imovies into idvd?

    I have 68 GB free and the movie is a small one. The iDVD file is on my hard drive and in the dock.
    Today I found a work around for this problem.  While I cannot open the original movie, I can access the clips in the media folder.  I put the clips together and made a new movie.   And I can import this to iDVD by going to "share" in the menu and selecting iDVD.

  • Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • After editing a RAW image in PE13 I can't get it back into my iPhoto library. If edited in iPhoto first and sent to PE13 for adjustments, it can be sent back to iPhoto library. Ideas?

    After editing a RAW image in PE13 I can't get it back into my iPhoto library. If edited first in iPhoto, and sent to PE13 for adjustments,
    I can get it back into my iPhoto library. Ideas?

    Thanks for answering my question. I always have had RAW checked to an external editor which is PE13 on my Preferences panel in iPhoto.
    I probably didn't make myself clear. When I send an ORIGINAL RAW untouched, unedited image to PE13 and do the editing and the
    adjustments- (it looks great) and then try and SAVE it and forward it to my iPhoto library, it will not be sent. On the other hand if any editing
    at all is first performed in iPhoto and then sent to PE13 for adjustments, and I SAVE it, it asks if I want to Replace this new edited image with
    what already exists in my iPhoto library, I click REPLACE, the little wheel spins, I go to iPhoto and the new image is there. PE13 does
    accept an original RAW image for editing because it will save it in PE13 in the RECENTLY EDITED column. Ideas? I need to keep my iPhoto
    library intact. Ideas? Thanks.

  • TS4036 I have a Macbook pro and I'm trying to set up my ICloud on it, and when I go to Preferences, there is NO ICloud there.  How can I get ICloud back into  "my preferences" to set it up?

    I have a MacBook Pro, its 1 year old.  I'm trying to set up my ICloud on it, and when I go to "preferences", (it says to go to "Preferences" in the instructions,) and then "click" on "ICloud", but my ICloud is not there.  How can I get "ICloud back into "my preferences". 

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    This suggests you don't have the right operating system. OS X 10.7.2 or better is required for iCloud, which operating system do you have.

    That's about what it's supposed to look.
    How do You want it to look ?
    a. You can change places by using this
    b. May be You changed this top right symbol of an hard disk ?
    c. or changed the number of frames to be viewed ?
    d. OR - it can (at least for me) be so that You think of how it looks in iPhoto. (To me a very common mistake)

  • I can't get my pictures into the public folder on the iPad 3.  Can anyone walk me through the steps?

    I can't get my pictures into the public folder on the iPad 3.  Can someone walk me through the steps?

    Ok, I'll give it a try.
    Presuming you already have a Dropbox account, and you have the app on your pad.
    Open the app, navigate to public folder.  Touch the upload icon at the bottom.  It will show you everything you have already uploaded.  To upload a new picture, then touch the plus sign at the top right.     You can create one or more subfolders to organize it however you want.
    Hit the plus sign again if needed, and the photo listing will show up.  Find the photos you want and mark them by touching them.  Then touch the blue word upload in the upper right.
    ( the directions assume the pad is in the landscape mode.)
    That's really all there is to it.  As I typed this I opened and uploaded a couple of pics to get the steps right.

  • How to get FCE movie into iDVD?

    Hi Folks!
    I have a movie that I created in FCE and would like to burn it onto a DVD. When I open iDVD, I don't seem to have access to the movie file that I created. iDVD looks for the file inside iLife. Is there a way I can put the FCE movie into iLife, or is there another way I can burn a DVD from my FCE file?
    Thanks very much!
    Vixter

    iDVD looks in your /Movies folder (not 'inside iLife' as you mentioned).
    When you export your movie from FCE, save it to your /Movies folder. Then it will show up in the iDVD Media pane, under the Movies folder.
    You can also import your movie into iDVD by doing *File > Import > Video* or by dragging the movie (from wherever it is saved on your hard drive) onto the _iDVD main window_ or a _drop zone_ in an iDVD template. Don't try to drop it into the iDVD Media pane - that won't work.

  • How to get my project into iDVD

    I'm having issue bring my FCP project into iDVD. I just exported my project w/no QT Conversion applied to it. Now when I open it in QuickTime. The footage looks very pixelated. I've check my setting and my seq. settings match my source footage and my export options to. I've even looked at the source footage and it looks fine. What am I doing wrong is this the best way to get my project into iDVD?

    Export as Quicktime Movie, not Quicktime Conversion

  • Can't get iMovie into iDVD

    I have made a movie using iMovie. It has photo's from iPhoto, music from my iTunes and video from a video camera. It is a complete home movie about 22 mins long. It includes transitions between photos for the slide show, transitions between film clips, title pages, back round music and, music tagged to specific clips. I can't get it to go to iDVD. When I select Share>iDVD all I get is movie clips. No music, no photos, no transitions. It plays perfectly in iMovie. How do I get this into a DVD???

    Perhaps you can also answer a possibly related question. I have created a video similar to the one described above in iMovie. I didn't have any problem importing to iDVD, but when I burned it to a DVD the stills that used the Ken Burns effect came out terrible. They were fine when I played the iMovie version.
    I have done this twice before without this problem. Looking at the Project Info on the three different projects, all fields are the same except the under Asset. On the two good DVD projects it reads "large.m4v", but the new video reads "movie".
    Do you have any idea what I might have done differently or how I can correct this issue? Thanks.

  • I moved the project files and now I can't get them back into iMovie 11

    I was working on a project but I ran out of disk space before I could finish it. Now, for this very purpose, I have an external hard drive with plenty of space on it. So I tried moving the folder with all my project files onto the external hd, and now iMovie can't find my project anymore. With iMovie '06 it was as simple as hitting "save as" and saving the project to the external hd, but I guess that's not complicated enough for the new version. Now I can't get into my project. I even try clicking on the actual project file, and it goes to iMovie as if the project was about to open, but nothing happens. So I fear I wasted a lot of time working on that project only to have to start all over because I ran out of disk space.
    Someone please tell me there's a way to get the project files open again. Thanks

    that is a simple one and should be a routine after purchasing a new drive (in a Mac-only environment!):
    • on your Mac, Apps/Utilities you'll find Disk 'Utility'
    • on the left lane, you'll notice your connected hard drive(s)
    • select it, click on the 'erase' tab
    • NOTE: FORMATTING A DRIVE MEANS ERASING ALL CONTENT ON THAT DRIVE!
    that's why you should do it as step#1 after purchasing a new drive

  • Placing clips made in iMovie into iDVD dropzones

    I am trying to move clip segments I make in iMovie to the drop zones in iDVD.
    I can make smaller clip segments from the clips in iMovie using the "split video at playhead" feature. I then place those new segments in the clip section on the right in iMovie.
    But when I move those new segments to a drop zone in iDVD the entire original clip shows up.
    How can I get only the new, smaller segment into the drop zone?
    Thanks---------cam

    OK
    May be I was to shallow in answering. I meant making from original material
    the new teasers - with as little extra captured material as possibly.
    But after some thinking I probably would try another way:
    • In the original movie. USE the in resp. out-points (the small two triangles)
    under the line in Canvas/Viewer under the play-head triangle (far left end).
    • Select the desired part
    • Export out as QuickTime.mov (full quality), selected part ONLY and Selfcontaining.
    Now close iMovie and drop this new movie into the drop-zone in iDVD.
    This should be a working solution.
    Sorry for not figured this out from the start.

  • Quick Question (re:exporting from iMovie into iDVD)

    Hello everyone!
    I just have a quick question for you all... (I want to see if this is normal - I'm on a deadline and this is kind of freaking me out)
    So, we have a 20 minute or so video in iDVD. It plays fine, etc etc. The goal is to burn it to a DVD.
    I used the "Export -> to iDVD" function in iMovie, which launched iDVD.
    But here is the weird thing: nothing comes up in iDVD. It doesn't make a new file, doesn't give me anything... it is just open, waiting for me to create a new project to work with.
    YET, if I look in the Activity Monitor, I do see that EncoderServer (using 123% CPU) and ThumbnailServer (both iDVD processes) are running.... but shouldn't iDVD have told me it is working or that it is dealing with data?
    This is very un-"apple". I totally would have expected a progress bar of some sort in iDVD telling me it is working or something.... or is something wrong and I should try to export it in a different way?
    (I guess the underlying question is: when you export from iMovie to iDVD, does iDVD normally give you any 'heads-up' that it is working? how long does it normally take to open the project in iDVD?)

    Hi Matt!
    when you export from iMovie to iDVD, does iDVD normally give you any 'heads-up' that it is working? how long does it normally take to open the project in iDVD?)
    Yes, and it's instant.
    What you should see is iDVD opening and asking you to create a new project, It will suggest naming it the same as the iMovie project.
    There are reports that exporting from Imovie to iDVD can produce problems. What I do is save the iMovie project and close iMovie. Open iDVD, create the new DVD project, then go the File menu in iDVD, scroll down to Import, and in the side menu select Video. This open your Movie Folder, wherein resides your iMovie project. Select it and it imports into iDVD in a flash.
    Remember: iMovie projects go in the Movies Folder, iDVD projects go in the Documents folder. Change that, and they get very confused and unhappy.
