Cannot import video edited on imovie app

Please help, im a pc user trying to import a video I have edited using imovie, i have exported it to my camera roll but it will not import when I use picasa or any other way you can import using a mass storage device on a pc, Ive tried everything, dragging and dropping from my computer. Any ideas??? by the way this is happening with two different iphones I own. cannot import any video edited with imovie

I believe the only way you can share a movie edited with iMovie on your phone is:
* Email
* MMS (multimedia message)
* YouTube
* MobileMe Gallery
If on a Mac, you can export your finished movies to the Camera Roll and then bring them into iMovie on your Mac.

  • Cannot Import Video made with iMovie for iPhone/iPod Touch

    I edited a video on my iPod touch using Apple's iMovie. The resulting .MOV file that iMovie creates will not import into iPhoto '11. While iMovie recognises the file just fine, iPhoto believes it is an unsupported file type. It's a .MOV for goodness sakes created with Apple's own hardware and program! Very strange. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.

    Hey there. In answer to your question, all other clips that appear in my camera roll are easily seen by iPhoto. It is only those movies that I have created with iMovie for iPhone that iPhoto does not recognize. It's really strange, considering the fact that it's just a .MOV file. As a result, I've had to download a program called 'DiskAid' that allows me to transfer the .MOV file directly to my computer from the iPod Touch.
    In answer to your question regarding whether or not iMovie for iPhone was worth downloading, I would have to say yes (assuming of course the import-to-iPhoto problem gets fixed). It's not a perfect program. My biggest complaint is that you have to import clips ONE at a time. There's no 'import all' option. This is really time consuming as you have to cycle through all the videos on your iPod or iPhone and manually tap each one and repeat. My dad likes to take a lot of 1-minute videos that then have to get spliced together and that can be really tedious with how this iMovie is currently set up. However, if you regularly think to add your clips to an existing project as you go along, things should be fine. It could do with a few more features and faster rendering times, but on the whole, it's a decent program. I have a feeling, though, that it was designed more for the YouTube generation who want to upload a five-minute video instead of people like my father and I who like to edit an hour or so and then eventually burn to a DVD. iMovie for the Mac still CERTAINLY has it's place.

  • HT4095 Home video editing with iMovie

    When I sync home video to the iPad it is visible and can be played with the standard Video app but the files are not visible for editing in iMovie app. The standard Photo app shows no video either.

  • Hi, I can not import video files into iMovie.

    I can open iMovie however can not import video files. the iMovie application just hangs and I have to force quit to start again and once again get the same problem.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled iMovie.

    Yosemite sometimes has problems, often related to "default" permissions needing to be changed

  • Cannot import videos from a sony camcorder.

    cannot import videos from a sony camcorder.

    Hi cape_surfers, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    UPDATE1: About the MPEG-2 component included with iMovie ‘08
    UPDATE2: After raising a stink, I figured that I’d spend a little more time trying to figure out how to make my Handycam work with native iMovie ‘08. Turns out that you have to turn on the camera, wait for OS X pick it up as a USB storage device, and then hang tight for three or four minutes until iMovie detects that your USB storage device is actually a camcorder, and presents the import dialog. I’m glad that I can import native MPEG-2, but am somewhat puzzled by the delay.

  • I an trying to do video editing with iMovie 11  9.0.8, i have no sound. OS X Lion 10.7.5 is my operating system any suggestions Please.

    I am trying to do video editing with iMovie 11  9.0.8 .  I am running OS X Lion 10.7.5   I have no sound,any suggestions please.

    This seems to have fixed the issue: on your desktop, hold down the [OPT] key and click on "Go" in the menu bar; holding down the [OPT] click on Library, find Preferences, and then delete all the files that start with "com.apple.itunes.XXXX.plist" where the "XXX" is whatever other things may exist - as long as they end in "plist". From my experience, preference files are rebuilt by the system after the next restart, so you have very little worry of losing any important data; the worst that could happen )and NOT in this instance, but for other plist files) is that you may have to reset the application "preferences" again when you next start it up, to act or appear in a "preferred" customized way for you.
    Once you delete the .plist files, empty the Trash, and either log out or restart the computer. Once you're back up and operational, start iTunes and your iDevices should reappear in the sidebar (if that's open) and/or at the top of the screen (if that view is enabled).
    Hope that helps. It definitely fixed my problem!

  • This version of iMovie cannot import Trailers created in iMovie for iOS.

    I have the latest verison of iMovie on both my Mac and iPad 3g. I used a trailer on the iPad iMovie and exported it to iTunes. On my Mac I went to iTunes and pulled the file down and clicked to open it. After iMovie can up it dispalyed "This version of iMovie cannot import Trailers created in iMovie for iOS."
    How can this be?

    I'm having the same problem.  I've check the instructions for exporting a Movie trailer that can be found in iMovie for iOS 6 and have followed them to a tee, numerous times.  Each time i export a trailer i've created using the iPad, i can easily save it to my MacBookPro.  But iMove on my laptop refuses to import a movie with the suffix ".iMoveTrailer", which is what you get in iMove for iOS6 when you export and use iTunes in Mac OS to save the file.  How strange?  There must be someting wrong going on here.  Anyoner have any thoughts?  I'm just trying to save an iMove trailer from the iPad and would like to burn it to a DVD to give to friends.  Hmmmm.....

  • Can you layer a photo on top of a video in the iMovie app on an iPhone or an iPad?

    Can you layer a photo on top of a video in the iMovie app on an iPhone or an iPad?

    Not without a third party app. You can search the app store for apps that let you caption and write on photos but there is no native functionality for this in iOS.

  • Cannot import video file from Canon Vixia hfs10 to imovie'11.

    Hi this is my first post on this site.
    I am having trouble trying to import video files from Canon Vixia hfs10 to imovie'11. The computer does not even recognize this camcorder. When I do a PC connection, iphoto comes up, but all it tells me to import are the pictures that I have taken.
    No matter what I do, I cannot find the folder for my camcorder in the device section in the finder.
    When I try to import it on imovie, I only get an option for facetime camera and not my vixia.
    Please help!

  • Cannot import video from Canon ZR10 to iMovie '08

    I have a Canon ZR10 mini-DV camcorder. My son is trying to import video to iMovie '08 and it does not seem to recognize the camera. I am using a 4-pin to 6-pin Firewire cable. When I turn on the camcorder, "DV In" appears on its screen so it seems to be in the proper mode to transfer video. However, iMovie doesn't do anything. I don't even get a blue screen. I tried File-->Import from Camera but that didn't so anything. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? He's very anxious to edit his movie! Thanks...

    Hello All,
    I have been attacking this problem for a few hours and I have found that if you turn off and or make all network items inactive the camera will immediately be recognized by iMovie.
    Took a long time to figure this out. Not sure why this is happening but it has fixed my problem.
    Before this fix I would intermently get the camera and its memory sticks in the usb slot to recognize in iMovie.
    Now all is well and works every time as long as I turn off or make things inactive
    Hope this works for you!

  • I cannot import video clips when working with iMovie

    I have a 13" Macbook Pro running Mavericks versión 10.9.4 but lately I do not know what happened since everytime I try to import video clips into my movie or trailer I am unable to get it. Those thumbnail are grey out, I can't drag them out into my project. Why ?

    In Lion, one can select a video clip, go to finder services, and click on encode video...it will transcode the .mpg to something iMovie can handle. Far as I can tell, .mpg is not something iMovie likes to play with.

  • Cannot import 1 clip into iMovie

    I'm a newbie so I'll try to give as much detail as possible on my current problem and hope some more experienced users can offer some suggestions.
    This has been a recurring problem since using iMovie '09.  I'm using '09 on an iMac with OS-X.  When I try to import video clips from my card reader, iMovie will import SOME but not others.  These were all taken at the same time from the same event (a concert) so the formatting didn't change.  The one clip I'm really struggling with right now is the one I need the most - it's quite big - about 60 minutes of video but I have a new external 3 TB hard drive so space isn't an issue.
    No matter how many times I try, I get a "Cannot import 1 clip" message when trying to add this one to iMovie.  The thing is - that message occurs at different points.  At first, I would get it within 5 minutes of importing.  Sometimes, I get it halfway through and once, I almost got to the end of importing the whole 60 minutes before that message popped up. 
    I've had this problem in the past with other video clips but after rebooting and trying again (sometimes several times) - eventually it DOES import.  I can play this problem clip within iMovie from the reader, play it in the camcorder and on the TV and there's no problem with it.  Why won't iMovie import THIS clip but will import other clips around it?  (Other clips are quite large too!) 
    Before I invest in upgrading to iLife '11 - I want to feel comfortable that iMovie isn't going to keep giving me these same headaches.  As I said before, this problem has occurred in the past with other events.  After trying and trying many times, I've finally gotten those clips imported.  But with this one, I don't seem to be making any headway.
    Any advice would be appreciated.  And if you need more info, please let me know and I'll do my best.
    Thank you!

    I have a Sony DCR-DVD103 and when I go to File>Import Movies I do see my Finalized DVD, but all the files including the Import button are grayed out. How can I import the Finalized movie into iMovie?
    The "Import Movies..." option is for importing "edit" compatible files from a hard drive into iMovie '08. If the source files are not already "edit" compatible, iMovie '08 will not let you import them. Instead, try the ""Import from Camera..." option. If iMovie '08 properly recognizes you DVD camcorder, it will import your MPEG2/AAC content by converting all MPEG-2 "P" and "B" frames to "I" frames (which are editable), convert the AC3 audio to AIFF, and place both in an MOV file container with start and/or end time offsets to minimize drift between audio and video. The resulting file can then be edited in iMovie '08.
    If the camcorder is not recognized by iMovie '08, then you will probably have to import the MPEG2/AC3 files to you hard drive and manually convert them to an edit compatible compression format manually using an MPEG-based, third-party conversion application like iSquint (free), MPEG Streamclip (free but requires $20 QT MPEG-2 Playback component), FFmpegX, (donation-ware), Visual Hub (pay-ware), MPEG2 Works (pay-ware), or similar application.

  • Mpeg video editing in iMovie

    I am new to a Mac and have downloaded mpeg video files for editing in iMovie from my PC. I have bought the QT component so that I can view the video on the Mac, which I could not do before, but I cannot import into iMovie. What do I need to do to edit my movies? I am very fustrated that I cannot do this.

    Get MPEG Streamclip (which is free) and convert your clips to Apple Intermediate Codec. Then use File/Import to import into iMovie.
