Cannot import the whole video into imovie 08
Hi. I've successfully imported video from my Sony Handicam, using imovie 06 in the past, without any problems. However, I recently upgraded to 08 and it only allows me to import 50 minutes worth and then rewinds the tape! When I check the memory available on my hard drive it seems that I still have half the drive space left! Any help would be appreciated - this is driving me mad!
Hi
Not knowing. I would start a new user/account - log into this and re-try.
BUT 50 min - indicates a serious project not just some minutes to YouTube.
iMovie'08 is more for short doings. If You had iM HD 6 - it's now
in the folder Applications/iMovie previous versions.
(If not download from Apple. iLife08 owners are entitled to do this)
Update this to iM 6.0.4 and You will have Your movie done. I think iM08 reduces the quality on top
of all else missing.
So if You are doing a DVD - please work in iM6 and keep frustration to a low.
Yours Bengt W

I imported an mpeg34 video into iMovie 10.0.5 and I am unable to edit it. Precision Editor and Clip Trimmer are grayed out. Any idea why this is happening?
Did you get any joy with answering this?
My first thought was that maybe when you imported you chose to leave the files in place rather than copy then to the iMovie library..but I can't see where that option is now.
I too have created a short movie from load f clips..but can't export or share either..the 'Share 'menu is empty..you go to it and no sub menu appears. -
I have iMovie 8.0.6 and an iPhone 4S. I took hours of videos on vacation (Australia and New Zealand) and want to make a movie. I've imported the first batch into iMovie and started the project. I just realized that I shot both horizontally and vertically and when I preview (on full-screen) what I've combined, first it's wide-screen, then it's tall, narrow with wide black sides.
The film looks choppy, no flow, since it alternates horizontally and vertically.
I can import the vertical clips two ways: "Full-Original Size", or "Large 960x540." But the vertical clips have very short, fat people.
This didn't happen with my Flip HD; the movies are smooth and terrific. My heart is breaking.....please, how can I make the videos match?Yes, I'd like to use all the video I shot, put it together with music, titles, etc. and make it consistant. when it goes from full screen to this vertical, narrow clip, it's very awkward.....and it's so narrow, it's hard to see what I'm looking at; my eyes don't make the adjustment quickly.

I am new Imovie user and I am having some difficulty importing video from my desktop. The whole video is on my desktop, but when I try to import it in imovie, only a few minutes of the video imports. How can I fix this issue?
Hi
A. How much free space is there on Your - Start-Up (Macintosh HD) Hard disk ?
The movie in Your Camera / Stored on Your Mac (from Camera) - is very Compressed.
For iMovie (or FinalCut) it has to be in an Editable format - and this is massively LARGER
I've movies on 500Mb when un-folder are 50Gb or even more.
B. Is there other external Hard Disks connected ?
How are it / they formatted - HAS TO BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) to work for VIDEO
UNIX / DOS / FAT32 / Mac OS Exchange - Works for most other things but not for VIDEO

Problems importing 2 hour video into IMOVIE
I'm having trouble importing a video into IMOVIE. The video I want to import is in Itunes. I tried to import it in IMOVIE. It showed a loading screen like it was going to import but then it finished and stopped after about 3 minutes and none of the video was imported. I have imported a movie this length before(2 hours) and it took about 2.5 hours to import. So obviously there is something wrong because importing a video should take longer than 3 minutes. Someone please help me as to what I need to do or what I am doing wrong.
Thanks Rick and Mylenium
Thanks that worked!
I thought that changing the frame rate in the composition settings would have worked.
Instead what I should have done is to go the the footage in the Project Panel then right-click on the footage > Interpret Footage > Main... then Conform to frame rate: Frame rate: 23.986607 (or whatever more accurate frame rate your footage actually is)
I used the more accurate frame rate reading from VLC which went to 5 decimal places. I got that info from the top menu in Tools > Codec Information
Its a shame AE doesn't pick up on the more accurate fps. It seems that all the videos from my iPhone 4 have slightly different frame rates and I guess I will have to interpret each clip properly.
I hear that the frame rate on the iPhone 4 is different depending on the lighting? I wonder why that would be the case?
Hope this helps anybody else that might face this problem.

Importing Flip MinoHD videos into iMovie '09
I've successfully managed to import videos into iMovie '09 from my Flip MinoHD. There's one annoying thing, though...
When I plug the camera into my computer, iPhoto opens instead of iMovie. Does anyone have any idea how to tell Leopard to open the right program for the MinoHD?I would suggest that in GarageBand you use SHARE/TO iTunes or SHARE/To disk.
You can either use no compression or use Compression and choose AAC encoder.
Start iMovie. The track should be available from within iTunes through the Media Browser in iMovie.
If you shared to disk, you will have to locate it in the FInder and drag it into your iMovie Project from there. I do not recommend this, because if you ever move your file to another location, your project will not be able to find it.
That assumes you want to continue editing in iMovie.
Alternatively, you could finish your iMovie, then SHARE/TO MEDIA BROWSER. Then in Garageband, bring the video file into your project from the Media Browser in Garageband, and continue audio processing in GB. Then you Share the finished product through GarageBand. -
Cannot import specific MOV file into iMovie. HELP please!
I have been using iMovie for many years and am not a novice.
For some reason, I have a specific MOV file that I cannot import into iMovie 10.0.5. When I try to import the file, I get an error message:
"No Importable Files: None of the selected files or folders can be imported"
The file is NOT corrupt and plays perfectly in QuickTime. Interestingly, when I try to import the movie in iMovie, it shows 0.0 sec duration, even though it load/plays perfectly in iMovie with a duration of 54:45. See file A1 below:
I even tried converting the file to M4V in Quicktime, but iMovie would still not import the new M4V file.
Any suggestions? This is an important Movie, I cannot re-record it, and I need to edit it in iMovie.
Thanks in advance!I copied it below. I would appreciate any suggestions!

Why can't I import sound with video into iMovie from digital camera?
This is disturbing. I have a digital video camera that took great video + sound. I import into iMovie (using my DV cable that came with the camera) and get video but no sound.
Now, in the past the sound came in, but no longer. Any and all advise is requested. I have to make number videos of lectures starting Wednesday evening and have to be able to provide video with audio.
Thanks.Try importing video shot with the camera's internal
microphone. If that doesn't work either, the mic is
not the problem.
I have no problem importing sound with video when using the internal video camera mic. No problem (other than sound quality issues with the speaker being 40 feet away from the camera's internal mic!
But I can play back the video made with the external mic in the camera and the sound is stunningly clear, crisp and loud. It's just a matter of getting it out of the camera into my Mac. I don't think it's the microphone; it must be the computer.
I just find it sad to believe that Apple's software is so limited--even in Final Cut Express HD. -
Cannot import photos or video into fcp x
I have the newest version of FCP X and cannot import photos from iphoto or video...anyone, anyone?
By clicking on the Photo Browser I assume that you mean the highlighted button in the screeen shot below:
As you can see, on my system a view of the iPhoto collection does appear. If/when you find the photo(s) you want, drag them into the the event.
So why doesn't this happen for you? Don't know. Where is your iPhoto library? Some location that Final Cut isn't expecting? Maybe searching for other posts re iPhoto in this community?

Can't import ESP mode Video into iMovie...
I can't import video recorded in ESP mode into iMovie or Final Cut. Is there some trick to it, or am I kinda screwed?? PLease help me if you can..
If your camera has analog inputs, then yes. Unfortunately, today that's a big "if" as most cameras only has analog OUTputs (to play on a TV).

I cannot import sandisk movie files into iMovie any more after years with no problems.
For years I have filmed with my Panasonic HC-X900 and taken the SD card via a usb convertor, plugged it into my macbook pro and iMovie has automatically found the new files - easy to import into iMovie. Now the files are nowhere to be seen even though I can play them back through the camera. Any suggestions?

Cannot import pictures from iPhoto into iMovie!
When I try to upload my JPEG pictures from iPhoto, I can successfully drag them into the storyboard, but they all show up as the same picture (the picture right before all of them). When I try to drag them into the workspace below the storyboard, I see the number of them (doesn't matter how many) in a red circle, not allowing me to drag them over from the browser.
I don't know what I am doing wrong. Can anyone help out with this?Open the photo Browser in iMovie. Find your Album. Drag the icon for your Album into the iMovie Project.

Importing DivX 4.1.2 encoded video into iMovie HD 6
I had a PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz machine. With that, I could import DivX encoded video into iMovie HD 6. I had installed DivX for Mac 6.5 to allow this import.
I just switched to a new machine, MacBook Pro, Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz.
I migrated over to this new machine using the Migration Assistant.
I just updated the system to 10.4.8 this morning.
When I import the same DivX encoded video into iMovie HD 6 now, the application crashes immediately.
Something did not get migrated properly...it seems.
Interestingly, there are a few video files that I had saved on my old machine using QT 7 Pro (still DivX encoded), and they import just fine on the new machine. I tried resaving the DivX video on the new machine in QT 7 Pro, but this does not rectify the problem. Very odd. I also now can not get QT Pro 7 to export these files as another encoded file. I could do that on the old machine.
I hope someone can provide me with the insight into the plug-in or reloading of something that will fix this problem. Is it compatibility of the DivX codec with the new Intel processor?
Thanks everyone.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7) Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHzI'm working on a video at the moment and the way I'm dealing with it is with MPEG Streamclip. Hard drive cameras use a different format and you cannot import directly to iMovie. (Looking to go back to Mini DV Tape the way things are going)... Had to pay for MPEG Streamclip but it transcodes back to DV on the fly and then you spend hours importing to iMovie. I use a JVC Emperio hard drive Video camera. There is quite a deal of quality loss during all the various transitions unfortunately. You can also try... *Download and install DVDrop. This converts the .MOD MPEG-2 formatted video into standard Digital Video (DV) for iMovie. (see www.dropdv.com).* (cannot vouch for that one though. I'm going to try this evening. Thanks to Zac.
