CONVERTING KEYNOTE FILES TO IMOVIE FILES

HI HOW DO YOU CONVERT KEYNOTE FILES TO USE IN IMOVIE AND THEN BURN TO DISC SO YOU CAN WATCH THE MOVIE ON TV.
THANKYOU

Thanks! I'm still not sure if Quicktime Pro for Windows will do the trick. I'm not too fluent in file names, but I think what I've got is in a "VOB" format, created with some app on a Windows machine. I have iMovie on my Mac, which is where I'd like to work on the file, however, I'm not sure if getting Quicktime Pro, or, as you've suggested, MPEG Streamclip and the Apple MPEG-2 Playback Component will get the job done converting my Windows file to an iMovie compatible format. Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks again

  • Cannot import file to iMovie: "File not found"

    I am trying to build a home movie on my desktop.
    I am using iMovie and have clips that are currently downloaded and available to view in Quicktime.
    After clicking File>import>movie and selecting my desktop file, an error message pops up (pictured below) saying that I can not import my videos to imovie because "file is not recognized"
    I noticed that the clips i am trying to import are in the .mp4 setting but even after changing it to .mov it still did not work
    Please Help!!

    I'm a bit puzzled why iMovie wants to move the file rather than copy it.
    Have you tried dragging and dropping the file with the Finder into an iMovie event?

  • Converting a Keynote document to Powerpoint file doesn't work

    I tried to convert Keynote documents to PowerPoint files that can be viewed and edited by PowerPoint users on Windows or Mac OS computers. All I got was a error. Can any one tell me how to make this work.I did every thing that was in the instructions.
    To create a PowerPoint slideshow:
    Choose File > Export and then click PowerPoint.
    Click Next.
    Type a name and choose a location for the file, and then click Export.

    Hy Kyn, thank you for answering.
    Every slide on my presentation has animated objekts. And every slide is linked (by hyperlink) to every slide on the presentation. So I want to give the user the chance to interrupt and to go to next slide. Therefore is an arrow to klick on, which has a hyperlink to next side (or do go to start, or to go back) - during the slide-animation is working.
    That works fine in keynote, but it doesn't work after the export in QT. In QT it is not possible to interrupt the sequence of the animation. When the sequence is (performed) finalized, the klick on the arrow works, and I can go to next slide.
    But interruption is not pssible.
    Tanks in advance for your answer!
    Best regards - Renate

  • How do I open a iMovie 2.0 file in iMovie HD? Does it convert?

    How do I open a iMovie 2.0 file in iMovie HD? Does it convert?
    I have a movie from iMovie vers. 2.0.1. I want to open it on our new Mac Mini which uses iMovie HD 5.0.2.
    Please tell me this is doable. Or can I get a copy of iMovie 2.0 to run it on my new Mac? I want to make copies of the movie by burning a dvd. Pls help.

    iMovie 2.0.1 ran in Mac OS 9, not Mac OS X. If I recall, it is necessary to boot your Mac into Mac OS 9 to run it. It won't run in Mac OS 9 Classic running inside Mac OS X. Your Mac cannot boot into Mac OS 9, so you probably can't run iMovie 2.0.1.
    You probably wouldn't want to anyway, for versions of iMovie that ran in Mac OS 9 used the OS 9 file name structure, which causes problems for projects converted to Mac OS X.
    The simplest solution is to simply import the project.mov file that's inside the iMovie 2 project folder to a new iMovie HD project. (Don't import the iMovie 2 project file, import its .mov file.) Because of the name problem, it's possible this won't work either, but it probably will.
    That will deliver the entire iMovie 2 project as a single clip to the iMovie HD project. The clips you had in iMovie 2 won't be editable, but everything will be there and play in the proper order.

  • How can I import or convert a .swf file into iMovie 8

    I've been searching with no luck for a way to convert a flash animation (.swf) file into a format that I can import into iMovie 8. Ideally, this would involve freeware or very inexpensive software. It is important that I maintain the quality (and audio) of the original swf file.
    Can anyone suggest a route?
    Many thanks.

    The easiest method is to use screen capture software to "record" the .swf file as it plays.
    Since .swf files use vector graphics you can scale it up in dimension (to fit your iMovie Project needs) without any loss in quality.
    I'm a happy user of SnapzProX http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/ as it records in QuickTime formats.

    Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
    Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
    Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
    You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
    In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
    1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
    2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
    3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

  • I keep reading that i need converter software to import Canon DSLR (Mark II or D6) H.264 MOV file to iMovie? True? I'm confused.

    I keep reading that i need converter software to import Canon DSLR (Mark II or D6) H.264 MOV file to iMovie? True? I'm confused.

    iMovie 9.0.9 is the latest version you can run unless you upgrade to the Mavericks operating system (OS 10.9).
    Your profile (at the bottom of your post) mentions OS 10.4.11 (Tiger) which is why I mentioned that.
    The list of supported cameras is not comprehensive  but articles such as:
    https://getsatisfaction.com/apple/topics/make_canon_eos_6d_h_264_1080p_footage_e ditable_in_fcp_imovie
    do indicate that conversion is needed before import, at least for iMovie 9.  Although it's a recent article it doesn't specifically mention  iMovie 10.
    iMovie 10 has a very much changed interface and a different folder structure so upgrading is not trivial so I would not advise rushing into upgrading.
    Maybe someone with knowledge of this camera can help.

  • I am trying to convert a standard definition AVI file 720x576 widescreen file into a full sized Quicktime file in imovie but having cropping issues

    Hi
    I am trying to convert a standard definition AVI file 720x576 (16:9)  file into a full sized Quicktime file in imovie 11. When importing the file I get two options either import as large 960 x540 or full original size. So I choose full original size but when I drag this imported clip to my timeline the bottom of the clip has been cut off? I tried to export it as a quicktime file thinking that perhaps it might resize to the original size but of course that was wishful thinking
    Any ideas appreciated?

    Hi No I have just checked its definitely a PAL 16;9 project. I am also slightly confused because when importing the video into the project it has squashed it into 4:3 format even though my file is 16:9?

  • Converting VOB movie files for iMovie 09

    I would like to import movie files into iMovie 09 which are in the VOB format. How do I convert the files to a format for iMovie 09?

    I purchased this Mac two days ago. For a work application I purchased this camera 1 week ago. When I bought the camera I asked the vendor if software came with the camera that would allow me to load the videos onto the computer but when I received the camera no software was included and no one from Canon or the camera vendor would help. I had a Canon DC 330 that came with the software last year but someone from my company made off with it. Another story another day.
    I've used PC's for years but I've been wanting to try a Mac anyway so I went into the Apple store with a VOB file that the PC would not read. It took a little fussing but the tech loaded the VOB file directly from the 3" DVD (took a few minutes to find a machine that read the DVD) into iMovie. Worked real slick so I walked out with a new Mac. I knew there would be a significant learning curve but nothing ventured nothing gained.
    The Apple Store is over an hours drive one way but I suppose I'll have to go back and see if I can figure this out. Not an issue, just time consuming.
    Anyway suggestions would be most appreciated. I will try the tip found on this post but any steps I can save would be great.

  • Convert .mov and other files into imovie

    Does anyone know of converter that I can use to import a .mov file into imovie? Called Apple today and apparently even though it is a .mov file there may be something in it that is not supported by Apple. They were not able to help me (advise me on specific converter programs) and I am not sure which one I need or will work. I hate to download things that I wouldn't use. Any suggestions? Also does quicktime Pro 7 convert files? My computer kept asking me to buy it when I was saving the files anyways, maybe there is something to that.

    I am having the same problem with iMovie 08. I am trying to import a .mov file that imported just fine into iPhoto '08.
    If you are trying to say that files that imported to iMovie '06 won't import to iMovie '08, then this is normal. iMovie '08 has a lower requirement for importation. Files must only be QT "conversion" compatible to be imported. I.e., iMovie '06 automatically converts incompatible files during import if it can. (Some files, like MPEG-1, will import the video but lose audio.) On the other hand, iMovie '08 does not convert files imported at the Finder level since it edits files in their "native" compression format. If the format you try to import is not "edit" compatible, then the file will be ignored.
    Any file conversion application that will handle the format you are trying to convert can be used. For instance, I would use an MPEG-based, thrid-party program like iSquint (free) or MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert "muxed" (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VOB, Flash, etc.) formats. QT "conversion" compatible can be converted by any application having access to the QT structure and for which you may have the proper components installed. This includes QT Pro, iTunes, GarageBand, previous versions of iMovie, or third-party applications like MPEG Streamclip (free), iSquint (free), FFmpegX (donation-ware), Visual Hub (pay-ware), etc.
    All I really want to do is shrink the file down so I can email it without causing problems.
    Since you did not specify requirements for your E-mail content... If you have QT Pro, you might try the "Share > EMail" option. If not, You can always open your file in garageBand and use the "Share > Export to Disk > EMail" option. This would still probably limit you to 6-7 minute clips for 10 MB ISPs. If you want to send long files or large formats, then it might be better to send reference or QTL files linked to files stored on a server, post them to a web site, or send them peer-to-peer via iChat.

    Is there a way within the ios to do this or do I need to buy conversion software? If so, what is the recommended software?

  • Gopro Mp4 files into Imovie HD 6 Converting or not?

    Ok I've heard that it is wise to convert Gopro Mp4 files to quicktime files before editing with Imovie 6.
    1. Is this is a wise (and time consuming) step?
    2. I'm using the Squared5 Mpeg converter and there are lots of codec to choose from. Which one works best for Gopro and Mac and Imovie 06?
    3. I think there is a interlaced unchecked option or something like that-- which one?
    Also I'm using Imovie 6 because I know it and like vs the newer versions.  I know the new versions have youtube upload links. Any suggestions on getting Gopro movies edited using Imovie 6 to youtube with with best quality. I need all of the steps and settings.  I'm shooting at 960 on the Gopro.
    Thanks -- Rob

    Oh, thank you both so much! These are both extremely helpful replies!
    Beverly: thanx for the welcome & thanx for the detailed suggestions of what to try. i will follow your suggestions about the preferences file & disk permissions very shortly here to see if that works. If they don't work & i have to reinstall, does that mean that the iMovie HD 6 that i have is somehow corrupted? If so, how does something like that happen?
    Karsten: thanx for mentioning the file names, i DO actually have special characters in the filenames, now that you mention it! i have the forward slash character (/) in most of the filenames, so maybe that's the culprit? Did you say that the underscore character (_) is OK to use? i had no idea that there was a problem using these kinds of characters, is this in the iMovie HD 6 documentation somewhere that i can refer to (i haven't actually read the manual for how to use iMovie HD 6 yet)? Do you (guys) have any idea why iMovie HD 6 might hiccup on the filenames containing these special characters but iMovie HD (5) does not have problems w/them? (When i run iMovie HD (5), it is on Tiger/OS X 10.4.11 & when i run iMovie HD 6, it is on Leopard/OS X 10.5.5.) i have also noticed problems exporting when i try to change the output file name before exporting, so i often just do the export 1st & THEN change the output file name AFTER the export has completed. i wonder if this export problem is related to the import problem possibly due to the special characters in the file names.
    Anyway, you've both been very helpful! i'm going to try your suggestions right away! Thanx again! Thank goodness for experienced/expert iMovie HD 6 users like you!
