Can't import sims 3 videos on to imovie

Hi guys,
I have been trying to import my sims 3 videos on to imovie and for some reason, it won't import and I have tried to covert the file from avi, to mpeg and other file names, nothing seems to be working, what would be the solution to my problem and I am sure I'm not the only one. Also I don't want pay extra for a converter, as I don't have that kind of money to spend on these things, as I am a student and money is tight, so bare that in mind thanks guys, really appreciate if could get responses 

Here is a good Tutorial I found on YouTube. The video is for iMovie 09, but the process is the same for iMovie 11.
Keep in mind that if you shoot in 60P, you would need to convert to 30P before using in iMovie. Final Cut Pro X supports 60P natively.

    I going to recommend again, downloading and installing some video helper applications.
    1. http://perian.org/ (this will add a number of different file types to the ones QuickTime already plays)
    2. http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac (will add more file types to what QuickTime can play)
    Either one of these might be necessary to get MPEG Streamclip to export the video. Failing that the only other thing I have found is an obscurve discussion thread on Avid.com:
    http://duc.avid.com/archive/index.php/t-277791.html
    I've figured out what the problem is on my end. The video came from Avid on a Windows machine and was encoded with Squeeze. I found out that the 2 seconds of black at the top of the video were at a different frame rate than the rest of the video. I chopped off the 2 seconds of black and started at the first frame of video, exported it with Quicktime Pro and was able successfully view the video in ProTools. Apparently Squeeze will let you create a movie file that has different frame rates within the same movie... This fixed my issue that was exactly as you describe, hopefully it might work for you.
    Lastly, you could try converting the video clip using HandBrake

  • Re user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? - I've followed instructions so far so good, until I get to "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. "  How do I do that?

    Re AppleMan 1958 excellent user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? -
    I've followed instructions with success until  "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. "  How do I do that?
    I installed MGEG Streamclip 193b8 and used their utility to install quicktimempeg2 and got a message stating it was successfully installed.  (I'm on latest Maverick 10.9.2 on iMac)  Then I dragged the VIDEO_TS file from my home DVD into the streamclip app.  It asked which of 4 files to use, and I selected the first one.  Streamclip played the video with the sound.  so far so good. but now I cannot figure how to use quicktime player 10.3 to export this vob file out of streamclip.

    Thank you for your quick reply and for clearing up my confusion.  I'm exporting the first section now.  I choose the smallest size, 3x4 but I'd prefer to go higher as this DVD was originally a VHS home movie.  I'm wondering if after three conversions (VHS,->DVD->MPEG) the resolution will be so poor as to not support a larger size frame?  If it can, what size should I select when I export?

  • Can you import movie videos from SD camera card

    Can you import movie videos (MP4) into an Ipad from an SD camera card on a Lightning cable ... or can you only do this from a laptop via Itunes? In other words, is Itunes the only way to get non-Itune videos to the Ipad? Hope I havent made this sound confusing.

    To import the videos must follow a very strict naming convention.
    All file names must have 8 characters for a name and be located in a folder named DCIM
    for example
    DCIM
    MOV_5789.mp4
    You can't watch the videos off the cart, they must be imported into the iPad. They'll go into the camera roll, when you tap on them it'll open the video app and you can watch from there.

  • Can I import a video from Final Cut Pro

    I'm doing a :45 sec. video clip in Final Cut and Kinemac for a local church. They want pre-recorded backround music that fades out at the end. Can I import this video into GB for the music..
    Thanks.
    NN

    What do you mean by "this video"? The FCP file? No, but any rendered version: Show the video track in GB and pull the video over.
    The question is: Why would you want to do this? If it's just about fading out the music, as you write, FCP will happily do that for you.

    The problem with this question is that Youtube forbids downloads according to their terms unless there is a download option offered, so, in order not to violate the terms of these forums, we are not allowed to discuss such matters.

  • Can't import some video's

    Ik can't import all video's in my itunes library. I can import some of them. Can somsone tell me what kind of format, numer of bits, and so on what the video should have to import it?
    Greetz

    Well iTUnes does not support .AVI files. When you try to add a corrupt file or a file format not supported by itunes to its library, Instead of giving you a message why its not being added, it simply does nothing, does not add the file nor give you any message
    A good place for you to start would be here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302758#3

    Connect the camera to the computer with a USB cable and use the camera as the card reader. Make sure the camera is in playback mode.
