Defaulting (not) to PAL in iMovie 5.0.2

I can't get the Pref's to hold PAL on iMovie 5.0.2. Every new document opens as NTSC. Is there any tricks here? Something to delete?

Ok, I was having the same problem here (need to work in PAL standard and iMovie HD defaults to NTSC).
To the specific issue apple has an article (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=165287) stating that you can choose from these formats:
DV NTSC
DV PAL
DV NTSC Widescreen
DV PAL Widescreen
MPEG 4
iSight
HDV 720p
HDV 1080i
in fact on my currently installed version, 5.0.2 (111), I only have these choices:
DV
DV Widescreen
HDV 1080i
HDV 720p
MPEG 4
iSight
... that said I did SOLVED the problem thanks to Matti Haveri's post: the PAL/NTSC option in iMovie 4 was in iMovie > Preferences > General ... now there is no such choice but you can select frame rate and this causes new projects to be accordingly set when created. Since PAL and NTSC ar not simply a frame rate distinction it wasn't immediately obvious to me that this would have done the trick...
I hope the iMovie development team will read this because these changes are quite confusing, especially in such an otherwise easy to use application, and the "solution" provided in the support article unfortunately only made it worse.

NTSC to PAL in imovie

I have made a small movie in imovie and want to burn it to DVD I had not noticed that it somehow I have made it in the format- NTSC instead of PAL (for Europe). How do I change it to PAL in Imovie and how did I change in the first palce. I have successfully previosly burnt a DVD form the same file that worked on my DVD player. As I am a novice I have probably overlooked the obvious.
Thanks

welcome keyframe to the  board ....
you have some options:
* most European DVDstandalones accept NTSC disks; it is the TVs which sometimes get a hickup with that "foreign" signal: pic turns b/w, and/or loss of audio... but as, said: in most cases it works...
* you can select in iDVD the video standard of your project (PAL=25fps) and drop in your NTSC iM project... the conversion will then be done by the QTengine...
* or, I prefer the results created by a free tool called JES Deinterlacer; simply export your project as QT/Full Quality and let JESD do a conversion.. drop that new created into PAL-iDVD project....

My itunes music or play lists do not show up in iMovie

I have just purchased a new imac and my itunes music is not showing up in imovie. When I click on the itunes folder in imovie, no songs show up and I get a "open in tunes" message. Any help would be appreciated.

Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

Why do my iPhoto movies not show up on iMovie

I have imported all my videos from my iphone to iphoto. I can not access them through imovie but I can see all the photos. Why is this?

Yes that works - but it's quoite manual, and has a problem -
1. when I do that - iMovie sets the date and time of the movie to the import date ( today) instead of the footage date, so I have to go through each one adjusting the date and time to the footage date.
It would be seemless if the Event Library\ iPhoto Videos simply shows the movies that are in iPhoto!

Mail on iPhone iOS 6.1.3 Opens Single Inbox by Default, Not "All Mailboxes"

Mail on iPhone iOS 6.1.3 Opens Single Inbox by Default, Not "All Mailboxes"
I have five e-mail accounts linked to my Mail app (an Exchange account, an IMAP account, and three Outlook POP accounts. Everytime I close the app (close the app meaning double tap the Home button and close it) and reopen it, the Mail app opens the first Inbox on the list. Unfortunately, it is an inbox I rarely use, the Exchange account. I constantly have to press back to go to my "All Mailboxes" screen and then select the correct account Inbox from there. Of course, if I don't fully close the app, but rather tap the home button once and reopen it, the app opens where it left off.
Is there an easier way to make the app open to "All Mailboxes" screen by default vs. the first account listed alphabetically? Or, perhaps the app opening the Exchange account because it thinks it has a priority over the IMAP and POP accounts?
I searched this on Google but all I could find were forums from 2010 that were never answered.
Thank you in advance!

Thank you TomJones75. When I posted this initially, I was running iOS 6.1.3 and not iOS 7. I don't think editing the order of the inboxes was an option back on iOS 6.1.3. With your tip, I was able to re-order my inboxes but it still defaults to the Exchange account when opened.
I.e. first account listed under mailboxes is now an Outlook account and the 2nd is an Exhannge account. Mail still defaults to the Exhange account even though the Outlook is my default email address for the iPhone.
Good tip though! Thanks!

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library?

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library? I assumed that like the videos in iPhoto, I would be able to access the videos in Aperture through iMovie. Come on Apple! I am starting to get frustrated with your products here. And this is saying a lot when I have been using and loving apple products for the last 4 years.

Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
APPLE. What are you doing?

My movies are not showing up in iMovie application?

Hi,
I just uploaded 5 movies from my camera to my iMac using iPhoto. I can see them all in there. Here is a photo.
When I drag the movies out you can see in this picture above the iPhoto app (top left). If you notice an older one has the Quicktime symbol and the newer ones have the picture of the video. These do not show up in iMovie and I'm not sure why.
S.

There was no option of Movie to TIFF but an Audio to TIFF and other ones. I chose the Movie to Quicktime movie and it didn't work, also tried the audio to TIFF and it didn't work.
TIFF??? Who said anything about TIFF compression? "TIFF" is a graphic image compression format that will be listed in the option window of the "Movie to Picture" Export pop-up. "AIFF," on the other hand, is an audio compression format that is compatible with iMovie '08. In any case, sorry -- I should have said "Sound to AIFF" here.
NOTE: It is not necessary to extract the audio to a new player before performing this audio conversion, but I usually use this work flow in case I should do something idiotic and end or accidentally ruining my source file. In addition, if your original audio is mono, you should probably use a mono setting for the AIFF conversion but either will work here.
After Add to Selection and Scale I assumed I should also go to Edit and click paste which I did.
If you have the "Properties" window open for your original clip, you will see that the "Add to Selection and Scale" Edit option adds a second audio track to the movie (which then allows you to delete the original incompatible audio track). If you then immediately perform an additional "Paste" action, you will note that the "pasted" audio is added to the end of the track which was previously added by the "Add to Selection and Scale" action and you end up with a clip twice as long with audio repeated and no video for the second half.
The second one where I chose sound to AIFF would play all the way through fine and then would repeat the whole movie again with only the sound and no picture showing. It wouldn't show up though either when I tried to open iMovie.
See explanation above for double playback. As to why the AIFF file would not import, did you remember to delete the sound track with the incompatible µ-Law audio? As long as that track is in your clip, it will not import.

In IPhoto I changed movie dates after thumb nails were created in IMovie but the new dates are not showing up in IMovie. Is there someway to refresh the IPhoto event in IMovie?

Background: I'm transferring file folders from a Visa laptop via an external hard drive to my IMac. In the folders are photos and videos from different cameras. SO I first tried to import to IMovie but it would not recognize any of the files. So then I imported into IPhoto and both photos and videos were imported and I created events for each folder. When I first opened IMovie I had to wait for it to create "thumb nails". Then I could view the events in IMovie BUT the video clips are not together because they have vastly different dates and are mixed with videos from other events. I looked at the dates and said I can fix that in IPhoto which i did but those new dates are not showing up in IMovie. I think I need to somehow refresh the event data that Imovie is using but have not found how to do that in either IPhoto or IMovie.
I'm doing this on three events with about 100 photos and videos. But I have many 1000s more to do so need to know how to either fix this or delete these events, reimport, change the dates, then open again in IMovie. I'm sure that would work but I can't understand why changing the dates in IPhoto is not being reflected in IMovie.
Appreciate any tips or pointers.
OBTW this is my first question as a first time Apple owner.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

HT4997 The imported videos by Itone is not showing up on iMovie

I downloaded YouTube videos by download helper Firefox adds software and then I convert it to MP4 by airvideo apps for ipad. Then I transfere it by I tone as was described on the help section, but still these videos are not showed up on iMovie on ipad. I can see them on Itone but I can not see any video on I movie. What is the reason, how I can solve it. Thanks

First check Restrictions to see if it has been disabled (Settings/General/Restrictions).
If it isn't disabled in restrictions it is somewhere on your phone, either on a different page of the home screen or in a folder. If you really can't find it go to Settings/General/Reset - Reset Home Screen layout.

Set InDesign -- by default -- not to make hyperlinks Shared Destinations?

I have a newsletter template in ID CS4 based on a template with some standing hyperlinks to my organization's web pages.
Recently, when I created a new file based on the template, my computer started bogging down looking NOT for the web page in the hyperlink, but in the copy of the InDesign file that created it. Checked the properties in Hyperlink Options, and instead of URL, the links went to a Shared Destination (a copy of the document on a shared drive, not an Internet server). Changed the properties to link them to URLs instead, but when I opened the document again, they went back to Shared Destinations. How can I set InDesign -- by default -- not to hook hyperlinks up to Shared Destinations? (My agency was ready to upgrade me to CS6 until it became available in the Cloud only).
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSB152EA6F-30D9-417c-9E16-A2C492C04892.html
Note: If a URL hyperlink isn’t working in the exported PDF, there may be a problem with the hyperlink being a “Shared Destination.” Double-click the hyperlink in the Hyperlinks panel, choose URL from the Link To menu, deselect Shared Hyperlink Destination, and click OK
But I wan to make NOT sharing hyperlinks the default

Given the bug with shared hyperlinks (see https://forums.adobe.com/message/6408902#6408902), I too would like to turn off shared hyperlink destination as the default. Anyone found a way to do this?

Imported .mov files not showing up in IMovie

I downloaded 6-7 .mov files yesterday. All fairly short 5-10 second clips. The first 3 imported just fine and showed up in IMovie where I am editing a movie.
Afterwards, when I selected "import" the computer responded the same way, as if it was importing, creating thumbnails, etc and the video shows up in finder in the right place but it does not show up in IMovie and I cannot use it in my movie.
I selected "show all clip" and still they do not show up
I tried importing to iPhoto first and then to iMovie but it still does not show up. It does the same thing - acts like it is importing, creating thumbnails etc.
THe first three that I did are still there, just fine.

Thanks for responding. These videos were shot on a colleague's camera then loaded to an FTP server for me to download. I have them as MP4s (though I've tried to import them after converting to .mov and .avi, still to no avail).
I've loaded them into iPhoto, but still nothing shows up in iMovie when I click the "iPhoto Videos" tab. It's like iMovie can't see them, even though I can see and play them when I go back to iPhoto.
One other point of interest: I tried the same process in my older version of iMovie HD, and there they would load only as audio.
I'm flummoxed.

Preview: In a group of PDF files in the same window, going to the next or a previous PDF file displays the bottom of PDF page by default, not the top of the PDF page. How do you change this? In Mac OS 10.9 and previous, going to the next or previous PDF file displays the top of the PDF by default. Is there a way to change this back? When I go to the next or previous PDF file, I want to first view the top of the page, not the bottom. This really doesn't make any sense. Any help? Thanks!

Entire frame of mini-dv video clips do NOT show in the iMovie '11 viewer in playback mode

I am editing a wedding video in iMovie11 that was recorded on a mini dv tape. When I move video clips from the event library to the timeline, the entire frame is displayed in the timeline. However, the entire frame of the video clip does NOT show in the iMovie viewer or when I playback the video. I exported the video and burned it to a dvd using Toast 11 pro. The video recorded to the dvd as it was showing in the iMovie viewer... the full frame does not show. I would certainly appreciate any advice as to how to solve my problem. THANK YOU!!!

Is your video shot in 16:9 aspect ratio or 4:3?
You can go to File/Project Properties and set the aspect ratio for the project.
When you get a clip that does not match the project's aspect ratio, you use the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns tool on the middle toolbar to specify how it should be treated.
FIT will place the entire clip in the movie, and will letterbox (black bars) so that it fits.
CROP will fill the screen, but will cut off the top and bottom of your frame.

My iPhoto videos are not showing up in iMovie? I have quit, shut down my Mac and they still are not showing up? What can I do to resolve this?

My iPhoto videos are not showing up in iMovie? I have quit, shut down my Mac and they still are not showing up? What can I do to resolve this?

It is also posible to go back to the imovie you had before, it is still on your computer - you go to Finder and it is in a folder in your programs. Many others have gone back to the old program, and perhaps I am also going to do that too.
In the new imovie it does not come up the question "do you want to download these videos ...."
You shall in imovie open your iphotolibrary in top on the left side,( it is standing under libraries) and you can see all the events you have in iphoto, then you can open the event, you shall use and drag the movies and pictures from the events in iphoto to an events in imovie. If you can,t see your libraries, you can click on a show button on top of the left side.
On the picture you see here iphoto is market on the top of the left side and the pictures to the left is my iphoto-events - and there I can open the one I shall use, and find my movies.

In View, I want Bookmarks to be the default not History which is what is happening

In View, I want Bookmarks to be the default not History which is what is happening. I don't know why but I like using History but I primarily use Bookmarks.

Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro. If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook. Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad. Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.
