Converting .ppt file to iMovie and adding audio
Is iMovie HD the version that comes with iLife '05?
Is iMovie 6 the version that comes with iLife '06?
Is it possible to import slides into iMovie HD from a PowerPoint file?
If so, is it possible to preserve interactive features, such as text that moves across screen, etc.?
Is it possible to then import sound and sync this to the slide presentation?
If so, what file formats are compatible for importing into iMovie?
Are these features improved in any way in iMovie 6?
Powermac G4 Digital/Audio 466 mHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)
In iLife 05 it was the first version ofiMovie with HD capabilities. Now the version is iMovie HD 6.
You can not import a .ppt file, but you can save that file in PowerPoint as QuickTime movie, which can be imported in iMovie (yes, with all things you designed in the .ppt).
You can import any audio that works in QuickTime, including mp3 and AIFF. And for sure you can then sync with the video.
iMovie 6 is better than previous.

Batch convert Pages files to Doc and stay in the same folder?
Hi there,
I use iWork '09 on Mountain Lion. I recently switched to Microsoft Word and prefer it over Pages (personal preference). However, I have nearly 1000 files on my computer that are in Pages format. I have extensively searched this issue in the Apple Support Communities and it appears that there are scripts that DO EXIST that batch convert Pages files into Word files. However, it appears that many of these scripts were built for older versions of iWork and therefore I run into various errors. For example, I used the script available at http://pagesfaq.blogspot.com/2008/01/export-folder-to-word-rtf-pdf-txt-or.html and click run but nothing actually happens (the script runs for less than a second, then I can click run again). I was able to use one script successfully (pasted below), but the only reason I can't use it is because it saves ALL my converted documents in one folder on my desktop and I would like a script that can save them in the original file were the Pages document is located.
So, is there an iWork '09 compatible script that can convert my Pages documents to Word documents and save them in the same folder as the original? Oh, and for an added bonus, it'd be cool if the script also deleted my Pages version after it was done with the conversion

Convert Video files in iTunes but no Audio after converting
Hy, do somebody know what is the matter if i want convert Video files in iTunes (8.01) but after converting the files don't have any audio but i can see the movie perfect in iTunes and on ATV ????
Your likely using muxed video such as mpeg1/mpeg2, which is capable of being played back in QT (with the QT mpeg2 playback component in the case of mpeg2 source video) but not able to be converted.
I could well guess which software you should use to undertake your conversions but it would be better if you could provide details of our source video so that we can suggest an appropriate workflow based on that information.
You can use the Inspector window in QT to see this information. -

What do I need to do to activate my subscribtion, so it will work with my reader XI?Hi helmutb86458194,

somehow changed a video in my imovie to zero fps, so it just plays black. The video still exists on my desktop but even when I delete the files from imovie and reimport them the file is still in zero fps and play black.
I'm not sure of your question.
Are you asking how to use Photoshop?
Or are you asking for the dimensions of video iMovie uses?
It edits in 720P HD, which is 1280x720.
You can make it a bit bigger so you can zoom in.
Much bigger then this is a waste of time. -
I created in iMovie, and extracted audio from one of the clips to use in the title sequence. All is well, export to iDVD and it plays OK, but when I burn the DVD the audio for the titles does not play. Any suggestions?

How to convert a file of emails and the attachments to pdf?
In adobe pro XI, how do you convert a file of emails AND their attachments to pdf?
Unfortunately, that did not work either. I am thinking this may not be possible (at least with 10.1.3.4). What I was hoping for was that I could audit the presentation catalog groups and users. I want to be able to get a list of all the users and the groups they are listed in. Again, this would be helpful so we do not need to keep an external record. If we are removing access to a user or updating the group, we want to make sure we remove them from all applicable groups (Settings>Administration>Manage Presentation Catalog Groups and Users)

Convert .fla files for Safari and Chrome
hi boys,
i need to convert .fla file for Safari and Chrome.
i pay for that, after new file is tested, and is ok.
the fee is 40$/fileI'm afraid you have quite a few html errors on the page I tested (about us page) that really need to be fixed - and some of them are likely the cause of the browser rendering the pages differently.
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newpathstherapy.com%2Fabout.h tml
For example, you can only use an ID once per page.
Also a few CSS errors: - in particular the first one - where you have the missing # hash tag before the color declaration. The others relate to the styleing of the scrollbar - which isn't worth the effort really because is a PC IE only thing anyway:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css21&warning=0&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww. newpathstherapy.com%2Fabout.html
I think you have 'overwritten the code for the menu.. particularly the way you have used the IDS - which is causing an issue anyway. The menu can be made more simply and minimally styled with css - see this list of styling list menus:
HORIZONTAL / VERTICAL MENUS:
http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/
You need to fix those errors and then see how the page stands. If you have further problems after the 'fix', then post back. -
Converting .WMV files to iTunes and iMovie 08 compatible files -- Possible?
I have QuickTime Pro for Windows (XP Home, SP3). I also have a MacBook Pro 17" notebook (OS X 10.5 Leopard) with iLife 08, an iPod Touch, and an iPhone 3G. I want to be able to view (and sometimes edit) -- on my MacBook Pro -- videos (with audio) that exist as .WMV files which I have downloaded from a friend's website to a Shared Folder on my PC (which is connected to my MacBook on a LAN). I'll probably break down and spend the $30 to upgrade QuickTime on my Mac to QuickTime Pro so that I won't have to work through a Shared Folder, but that's neither here nor there for the moment. What I wanted to do was to use QT Pro to convert the .WMV files to an Apple-compatible format, but it doesn't seem to be able to do that. It will go ahead and APPEAR to convert the file during Export, changing the file extension from .wmv to .mp4, for example, but the exported (converted?) file won't play in the QuickTime Player. I can press the Play button, and the marker moves as if the file were playing, but no movie appears on the screen and no audio is heard. Will I have to get third-party software to effect the conversion?

Purchase one of the upgrades and use QuickTime Pro (iMovie '08 is still not supported). -
How can i convert ppt file into a keynote using windows 7 ?
can i change a powerpoint file into a keynote file on my labtop using my windows 7 ?? if yes can i send it to someone who has mac OS and will it work well with him?
No, he'll download it as a PPT. Keynote can then open the PPT file, and he can choose to convert to the Keynote format once its open.
Keynote: Supported file formats - Apple Support
All he'll need to do is save it. -
Using WindowsDV .avi files in iMovie and iDVD
I'm about to buy a Mac after using PCs for many years. I'm still deciding whether to buy an iMac 20", upgrade the Ram and use an external firewire drive or to get a Mac Pro and use internal drives. Initially I'll use iMovie and iDVD and I have some questions regarding using files I've already created on my PC. Up until now I've mainly been using Ulead Video Studio 10 and Ulead DVD Workshop. DVD Workshop does not do 16:9 menus and has now been discontinued and I've been impressed with iMovie and iDVD when I've seen it in Apple stores.
I have some unedited 16:9 .avi files that I've captured from my Panasonic GS-400 camcorder as well as some already edited .avi and .mpg files. Will iMovie and iDVD recognise .avi DV files when accessed through my network or copied onto the Mac hard drive? I'll load unedited clips into iMovie for editing but anything that's already edited I'd like to put straight into iDVD, add chapters and make a menu etc.
Is this going to work easily or will I have to convert the files to an apple compatible format?
Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Windows XP ProHi Ken and welcome to Apple!
You should not have a major problem. The AVI files should (repeat should) be recognized by iMovie. If not, conversion should (I love the certainty of that word!) be easy.
An iMac will do all you ask, but I recommend not less that 1GB of RAM.
At this stage, go get your iMac, and try to import the AVI files into iMovie. If that is not successful post back!
Remember: iMovie expects to be 'fed' by digital video through a firewire connection.
Any more questions, we are here to help! -
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.
THANKYOUThanks! 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 -
4 GB file size bug and No Audio on render output with Lossless Ut codec and Lagarith ?
System :
Win7 x64
NTFS Raid 0 Drive
SpeedGrade 2014.0.1
******BUG******
Cannot render correctly using Ut lossless codec or Lagarith. Probably due to 4 GB size limit bug.
Steps to reproduce bug:
A single PAL 25 fps ProRes 1920x1080 clip, 4 minutes long which contains 200 cut/scene changes.
Split using scene changes detect.
Choose "split clip"
Applied looks (most of the time, i just use default cinematic 2 with a little bit adjustment)
Render using lossless codec above.
Results:
Rendering using small duration (10 seconds) on both Ut and Lagarith, there are no sound produced, although the video render correctly.
Render the whole clip (4 minutes)
On Ut : The result render is messed up, the clip were overlap, or sometimes it's just resulting a garbage video (blank screen with no sound)
On Lagarith : Unplayable video (crash to playback/open either in media player or in Adobe Media Encoder)
Expected results:
The video render result from lagarith and Ut "stuck" on 4 GB file size.
The problem was not occurred if using different codec (Animation lossless), even can produced 18 GB of clip which can playback fine and with audio.
Note :
I also have report the bug (?) in feature/bug report Adobe web page.
The current workaround is render using Animation (but i don't like it, the size were too big, i cannot export my long project using this codec)

I think that means you get separate video and sound files (but, I don't do BluRay, so could be wrong)
