Coolest movie you made in iMovie?

Evening all - I've just got in to using iMovie and wondered what cool videos you've all made in iMovie (and what tricks you used to make them)?
ps here my blog on getting in to iMovie if you're looking to kill a couple of minutes

Does anyone know what "video rendering error: -50" means?   I am trying to back up a movie i made on iMovie and get that message every time, about 30 times...

Does anyone know what "video rendering error: -50" means?   I am trying to back up a movie i made on iMovie and get that message every time, about 30 times...   OSX10.9.2, iMovie 10.0.3, Toshiba externals 2TB etc

Hi Babowa and Apple:
Thanks for helping me.   Here is my workflow:
I store any file that I save onto my external drives so that I don't fill up my main hard drive.....( I label each external hard drive by year + alpha, such as 14a, 14b etc.) Is that a problem?   Any suggestions?
I know iMovie works from the main iMac HD and therefore needs to find the file that I want in the external drive, such as when I "import" a file from an external such as 14a into iMovie that has been previously downloaded onto the external 14a (I download all SD cards & tapes to externals)......and it sounds like you're saying that is causing iMovie problems because the file is not so easily accessible for iMovie?
I assume that iMovie processes the file that I have "imported" into an "iMovie Event" on my iMac HD. I label that version as say "NLGE 3000E" for my 3000th movie, Event version, "events" that is always rough.
After I have imported media as an event and have labeled an event, "NLGE 3000E," then I go to "new movie" that I assume is a "project".....and I label that version "NLGE 3000P1"...."P" for "project" and "1" for the first edition....also to help me keep track of where my movies go.   I focus on "Projects" then when editing ...and watch which edition I am editing and which edition appears where.
I learned that I need to "share" all movies from "Projects" to save......and store my final versions on my external drive, 14a (eg) so that I am sure that I have a retrievable copy.   I try to share to YouTube from iMovie and succeeded 1/10 tries.
Evidently a movie is not saved unless it is in "theater"?
Please see next "reply" for other comments about retrieval.
Thanks.

I am trying to burn a movie I made in iMovie to a dvd that can be played on a dvd and not just the computer

I have burned a movie made in iMovie on a DVD but cannot play it on the dvd for my tv it keeps ejecting the disc....please help.

Not all DVD players, particularly older ones, accept some home-made DVDs. Have you tried with different DVDs?
Could be poor media: most of us here recommend Verbatim DVD-R, burned at only 2x or 4x.
If you successfully burned the DVD with iDVD and it plays on your Mac, it is unlikely you did something wrong, but full instructions are here:
A good guide to iDVD 7 can be found here:

Apple's tutorial on iDVD 07/08 is here:

How do i get a movie i made on imovie to play after i put it on a flash drive

i made a movie on imovie put it on a flash drive and tried to play it on another mac but it wasnt playing. then i went back to the mac i originally made it on and it wont even play there.

Need some more information please.
Just how did you place your movie on a flash drive?
Did you export your project via the Share menu?
The way to do what you want is to Share > Export Movie.. or Share > Export using QuickTime.
That will render your movie project and make it playable in any QuickTime enabled computer.

A movie i made in imovie HD won't delete out of my trash can!

Hi,
I recently made a movie in imove HD.
I then wanted to delete it, and once i existed the application and dragged it into the trash, and pressed empty trash, it says;
"The operation cannot be completed because the item is in use"
How can i delete this item?
And this is quite frustrating as i like my laptop neat and my trash can empty.
PLEASE HELP!!

Try rebooting first then emptying the trash. If that doesn't work then Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner from Northern Softworks has a Force Empty Trash option. SL Cache Cleaner is shareware but it will work in demo mode for a while.

Here is a movie i made with imovie

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kx3cbP8yPP0 Hope you like, please tell me your comments good and bad. Hope its ok to post this here.

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

Trying to create a new movie. It tells me to name my movie, and the only event choice is the last movie I made. I don't want it there. I'm lost and I'm just starting. Not sure I like the new version. Any help out there?

Share videos made in iMovie

How can I share movies I made in iMovie?
I want to be able to email video clips to my in-laws or post them someplace they can download them from.
I used to use Mobile Me, but that is no longer available.
Any thoughts>
Lori

For sharing, I recommend YouTube, Vimeo, or Givit.
For downloading, I recommend DropBox. Available here. http://db.tt/3FVc7rP

How do I move a movie I have synced from iTunes into the "Movies" tab of the Video App? I need to access a slideshow I made in IMovies and may not have WiFi. I did it once, but can't figure out how to do it again! The file is an m4v. Thank you!

Im just guessing but it seems like you would have to get your movie into the correct folder on a computer then use iTunes to sync it to your iPad. If you've synced to a computer and have movies then on your computer should be a folder with the movie in it. You could export your iMovie to something like Dropbox then download from Dropbox to the folder you think it needs to be in the sync your iPad again. Again this is just a guess. Others may have a better answer.

I have DVD's that I made from iMovie. I would like to know a way I can bring them back into a file that I can somehow transfer to my iPad, so I can show movies on it, the iPad.

Pad2, the new iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
Here's one way to install. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How do I change a music in a movie I have made with Imovie, (is in Theater)??

How do I change a music in a movie I have made with Imovie, (it is in Theater now)??

Hello olemus,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To add music to your iMovie project please follow the steps below. Please note that you cannot do this in Theater, as you will need to be back in the Library portion of iMovie to do any editing.
Add audio and music
Take care,

Movie made in imovie wont open in idvd?!

so i made a little intro movie for a slideshow with the edit interface in imovie where i just added some text to a black background. i saved it and when i try and add it to idvd it wont open. im not really sure what is going on. the file is a .timovieproject so i know that it should open in idvd to "add" a movie. is there some way where i can just save it as a quicktime? thanks!

tell us how you made this black footage. was it entirely in iMovie 6? Try adding some actual video footage to the start and see if this helps, then select the black clip only ....
and share the selected clip only to iDvd. Like this:

Let me know if this helps.

I'm not sure about the iPad locations, but normally you should find all your iTunes movies here (unless iTunes is on an external drive):

Problem with updated movies made in imovie 3.0.1

I recently upgraded to imovie HD from imovie 3.0.1. The problem is with my updated movies I made in the older version of imovie. This is hard to explain so stay with me... once HD has updated the movies, the clips (and the movie) seems to run slow and jerky (as if some of the frames have been omitted). All in all the image quality of the movie has suffered.

Hi Shawn:
Read this and quoting Dan Slagle (iMovie Guru)
I would also recommend FINISHING all you old projects first THEN starting new projects with iMovie HD. That or COPY the media folder from your old iMovie project to the new project folder.
Sue
