Combining 2 imovies to make one dvd

Wondering how!
Combine 2 iMovie projects with bookmarks to get one DVD should I
copy and past one imove into the other? (will it retain all bookmarks?)
or
can I make 2 iDVD projects and combine them into one DVD to burn some way?
If anyone has doen this easily I love to know.
Thanks

Arnolfo,
You can easily have more than one movie on a single DVD.
The iDVD button in iMovie is just a short cut to get a project going in iDVD.
If you want to add multiple movies to one DVD, it may be easier to launch iDVD first and then add the movies to the iDVD project.

How do I combine several clips to make one movie?

The iPhone 6 doesn't have a video pause button (ingenious) so I recorded several clips. I downloaded these clips to iMovie and put them all in one event. When I play the event, the video jumps a little every time it goes from one clip to the next. Is there a way to combine the clips to make one movie that doesn't have those jumps. Thanks!

Thanks for your response. I already figured this out but was unable to post a reply sooner. I just figured out that you can't reply when you are in private browsing. Another Apple glitch. Regarding this issue, in typical Apple fashion, the products can be confusing to use, the user manuals are poorly written, the help menus, many times, aren't very helpful, and the product development decisions can be baffling.
In the case of video-making and editing, Apple has hit the triple-crown: First, the iPhone 6 video recorder doesn't have a pause button; Second, in iMovie, you CAN'T combine separate clips; And third, again in iMovie, you can't download clips directly from iPhoto - you have to move the clips out of iPhoto first. By the way, iPhoto is the default location when clips are uploaded to iCloud. Unbelievable!
For any first-time user reading this, a project is a movie or a trailer. And even when you are in a project, you can't combine separate clips. You can only combine a clip that was separated back to the clip it was separated from. Thanks, Karsten, for taking the time to respond.

Pls advise current info as to combining 3 iMovie projects into one iMovie. Thanks!

Pls advise current info as to combining 3 imovie projects into one imovie. I will finish with idvd.
I am in a rush today to complete a video for my brother's memorial for tomorrow. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply, Klaus. I'm just now getting to try your suggestion to copy and paste from timeline rather than drag and drop from clipviewer. Alas, it seems to be choking terribly on the transfer. This video is not a 60 minute movie, either; it's about ten minutes. I has about 60 files to it. I did get to the point where I felt confident enough to empty the trash and save the project, so I assume the clips that are there are not still "attached" to the unedited dvs.
Earlier I tried to export, in the advanced settings, to the full quality dv, but the quality really dropped, way too much for the intended use. I'm pretty much stumped at this point, unless I can hear some other suggestions.
What I might try doing is simply dragging and dropping all the packet contents of the media folder into the other movie's media folder, but then I suspect I'll have to rebuild the darn thing from bits and pieces and it may be like putting Humpty Dumpty back together again...ugh.
I'm sure I'm not the first person to face this challenge, am I? Of course, my lesson learned is to build one dvd's contents in one imovie project. If it weren't for the fact that I need to offer viewers the option to "play movie" (play all the videos as one movie) I'd simply drag each movie into iDVD and do it that way (the dvd showing each video separately).
Would still love to hear of other possible solutions here, before trying some other forum.
thanks!

Combining several iMovie projects into one, time-not space-being the factor

Hello,
Space is not an issue (large external drive), but I'm trying to figure out the fastest way to combine several iMovie projects into one (so each movie will become a chapter in iDVD). I'm pretty sure there must be a better way than I'm attempting, selecting all the clips in clipviewer, then dragging and dropping to the new project clipviewer. As I've done this, the "time remaining" window keeps growing (started out about 4 minutes, climbed to "92 minutes remaining," then I aborted the move). Details: each movie is about 8-10 minutes long, widescreen, made up of various (sometimes many) dv clips, audio segments, still photos, etc.
I have added dv clips to a project via the media folder (project unopened), but this was a single item and simple to move from trash into the project. In this case, I'm not sure what to move in order to save the entire project intact.
Thanks so much for any help,
b

Burn multiple imovie projects to one dvd with menu

How do i burn multiple Imovie projects to one dvd with roxio toast 10? Can i add all of the projects or do i need to export them as a quicktime movie first or something?

You can share the first movie from iMovie, but all the others will need to be exported from iMovie as movies and dragged into the iMovie project.

Putting multiple iMovie projects onto one DVD

I was wondering if there was a way to put multiple iMovie projects onto one DVD using iDVD?

actually none of those options worked probably since the movies were in IMOVIE2
Ah... You didn't say it was an iMovie 2 project. iMovie project is different from iMovie HD.
I want to store the image file from the dvd's off site as I don't have the space to archive the projects - it seems I can't do that as it copies over to the server but shows up as a 4kb file - any suggestions how I can do this?
I might be wrong (since I don't have iMovie 2), I assume iMovie 2 has the similar QT "reference" movie as the iMovie HD. This "reference" movie is not a "self-contained" (a QT term) movie, i.e. it only has instructions of the makeup of the "real" movies. You cannot use it to archive. If you want to offload your movie from your computer, you should copy the entire iMovie 2 project folder to an external archive.

Combine to queries to make one report

Hello,
Is it possible to combine to queries to make one report?
I have been asked to create a report to shows the settlement status of a mileage report for the last two months and also in the same report show everything that has to be settled.
I have created two queries u2013 one that shows restricts by last two months and another that restricts settlement by u201Cto be settledu201D.
I would now like to combine these two queries to create one report. However in report designer when I insert the two queries it does not allow incorporating the two to make one report. It just allows you to leave one below the other.
Is there a way I can combine the two or is there something I can do in the query designer, because as far as I know you canu2019t use dimensions twice in the columns.
Thanks
Forhad

HI Forhad Hussain,
Create a new query by adding all required keyfigures(settled & to be settled) using restricted key figures, instead of global restrictions.
Or enhance any of existing report by changing global restricting and adding new RKF's.
Hope it Helps

How to make one dvd from several camcoder dvd's

How to make one dvd from several camcoder dvd's. I got a dvd camcoder, to be able to play them into DVD player I had to finalize my disks. Now I got several DVD's whith short files and terrible custom camera menu. I'd like to make it more presentable.
The main problem is I dont want to recode my vob files. So Final Cut and other editing soft is bad idea.
Is there any soft on mac I could reauthor my DVD's?

Combine two iMovie projects into one iDVD project?

Could someone help me figure out the best way to combine two iMovie (HD 5) projects into one iDVD project? I currently have a documentary with one iMovie project at 1 hour exactly. I am starting a second one and would like all this to go on one DVD eventually. I am especially concerned about what happens with the chapter markers already created in each iMovie project - how is that combined when the two are put together? If there is a link for this info, I'd be happy to read that as well.
Thank you!

I would combine them by saving each completed imovie (without chapter markers) as a full quality QuickTime movie.
Then start a completely new imovie project and import each of those in to make make one large imovie. (But remember, your DVD will only hold about 120 minutes of footage and that doesn't count the themes).
That's when I would add the chapter markers.
BTW-it's going to take up a lot of disk space to save the movie s and to burn the DVD.

Is there a way to have iDVD have accommodate more than one iMovie project on one DVD?

Looking for a way to have more than one iMovie Project burned to one DVD through iDVD. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi
YES - But do not use "Share to iDVD" in any version of iMovie as this will degrade the final result - BUT
Share to Media Browser - and as Large (Not HD or other resolutions as this too degrades the final DVD)
Now when Your movies are Shared. Close iMovie
Open iDVD and import movies from Media button/Movies (down to the right)
And You can add up to 99 movies - or 60/120 minutes (reg encoding quality chosen)
Time is = Movie duration + MENU DURATION (can take 15 minutes or more if elaborated)
(I keep it as simple possibly)

?? burn multiple iMovie movies onto one dvd with iDVD

I understand how to burn a single iMovie project onto a dvd by using the share menu to share with iDVD. But how can i burn multiple iMovie projects with iDVD onto one disc??

You can share the first movie from iMovie, but all the others will need to be exported from iMovie as movies and dragged into the iMovie project.

How to fit an iMovie project in one DVD

How can I tell if an iMovie Project will fit in one DVD using iDVD?

If it's just under 2 hours long ..it'll fit. (If it's just under 1 hour long it'll fit, and possibly appear to have slightly higher quality.)
iDVD compresses video for duration, rather than anything to do with file size.

Using iMovie to Make a DVD with Chapter Markers

All,
Can someone explain the shortcomings of the following workflow to create a simple DVD with chapter markers?
1. Create each "chapter" as a separate project in FCP X.
2. Export each project using "Export project as QuickTime movie using current settings".
3. Import each QT movie into iMovie and place them into a single timeline in the desired order.
4. Add chapter markers at the start of each clip.
5. Choose Share>iDVD from within iMovie.
6. Choose desired templates, etc. then burn the DVD.
I have used this workflow successfully but want to make the best quality DVD possible and am concerned that I am making compromises with this method.
Thanks for your help.
Peter

As long as you aren't "optimizing" the movie when importing into iMovie, I think you aren't doing anything to degrade quality prior to sharing with iDVD.
I've read on other threads that you can add chapter markers using garage band. you might give that a try, as it would let you use just one project and would save you time if you have a lot of chapters. Export the same way from FCPX (quicktime, use current project settings) but open in Garage Band instead. Place chapter markers, then share to iDVD.
but want to make the best quality DVD possible
You should know weak link in your workflow regarding quality is iDVD, because you have extremely little access the settings that actually control quality. iDVD might end up creating an excellent quality DVD, but without knowledge of bitrate and whether it is VBR multipass vs CBR, you can't be sure.
Unfortunately, there is really no low cost option I know of (other than iDVD) on the Mac for creating "the best quality DVD possible" that also gives you flexible authoring tools (e.g., templates, menus, etc).

Combine 2 iMovie projects into one movie

Referring to thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1172735&tstart=0
I was able to combine both movies into one iMovie, after lots of hard drive clearing! I also had a problem with QT export quality, but remembered to export in "expert setting" as a DV stream, which worked well.
Follow up questions:
1. In QuickTime, is the "Expert Setting" / DV Stream output better, worse or the same as "Full Quality" export setting? I might be going through unnecessary pains to wait ou thte Expert Setting when Full Quality could be just as good and take less time, I'm not sure.
2. My movie is long - I know that DVDs hold 120 minutes of footage, not counting the themes. I think my movie, without themes, is about 2 hours long (it's a documentary). I'd also like to include some supplemental footage that will easily cover 1 additional hour. I believe the next step is to burn the final movie onto 2 DVD discs, if not 3. Once I create chapter markers in iMovie and begin burning, will the system ask for an additional DVD or do I need to figure out how to divide this up ahead of time?
Thank you!

same.
.. will the system ask for an additional DVD or do I need to figure out how to divide this up ahead of time?
no, iDVD isn't that clever (hey, suggestion to programmers!)
you have to split your iM project into 2/3 parts manually ...
if enough disk space is avail, you can simply select a few clips (=half/third of project) and choose 'selected clips only' in the Export dialog to create the 'parts'; drag that export into yoir iDVD project. when the disk is finished, you can erase the export-file, choose the next clips... repeat.

Combining two programs to make one

Is there an easy way for me to combine these two programs? What I am wanting to use an array for the different loans. Display the mortgage payment amount for each loan and then list the loan balance and interest paid for each payment over the term of the loan. Use loops to prevent lists from scrolling off the screen. Here are the two programs I have so far. Any guidance is appreciated.

public static void main(String[] args)
{It's a common newbie mistake to put lots of code into main methods. After all, that's what you "run", right? Better to put that code into a class or instance method that you have a main method call. Other objects can get at it that way.

double Rate, MonthlyInterest, Payments; //double
precision variablesLearn and follow the Sun Java coding standards:
http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/
This isn't VB.
The comment "// double precision variables" is totally, utterly useless. The fact that they're declared as double is more than sufficient. Useless comments like these just clutter up code.
//assign values to variablesMORE useless comments! Get rid of them. You've probably been taught that comments are good. I'm here to tell you that comments are bad. Write your code clearly enough and you won't need comments. Good choices for variable and method names and good refactoring are worth a million comments.

Math.pow(1+MonthlyInterest, -360))); //my formulaSeparate the calculation from the display.
