Deleting original video from ipad after editing in imovie

Hi everyone. I am new to imovie on the ipad and I have just bought a GoPro Hero 2 to take some video.
My problem is that the video I am taking is in large clips.  The camera is on for about 20 mins at a time and the useful footage is about 5 - 45 sec long each clip.  I am planning to make about a 5 min movie but as you appreciate the amount of footage I take to get 5 mins of the good stuff is huge.
I want to know if I can make a project of multiple clips, that I want, but delete the original video which is 98% rubbish and clogging up the ipad?  This process is going to take some time so I just want to get what I want ready for editing and delete the excess.
I tried to delete the original footage from iphoto after I edited out the stuff I wanted but then the project footage was lost.
I apologize if this has been answered or if this is a basic question but as I said this is all new to me. Any help would be appeciated.
Thanks in advance.

1. Ask on the iMovie forum, that's the best place for iMovie help.
2. When you get there, ask about export settings. Sounds like that's where the issue is.

  • How do I import video from iPad and edit it on a PC?

    I recorded a long video on iPad that needs trimming, and it has to be uploaded onto my PC. How can I do this?

    Try hooking your iPad up to your computer, then use windows explorer to navigate to your iPad. Your computer should see the iPad's camera roll as just another camera. You may need to poke around in folders but see if you can find the one that has your video in it. Then simply drag and drop from your iPad to your computer.
    Then use the editing program of your choice to work with it.

  • Importing Video from DVD to Edit in iMovie?

    I need to import video from a DVD to edit in iMovie. What's the best way to go about this?

    DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
    for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
    * DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    * Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
    * Cinematize >60$
    * Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    * Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
    * connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
    none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

  • Video quality awful after editing with iMovie

    Hope someone can help.
    When i edit gopro camera footage in iMovie the quality is awful after exporting finalized clips/footage.
    If i play the clip imported directly from the camera it appears in crystal clear HD. As soon as i do anything with it it degrades to the point where it almost looks like a 'negative 'shot.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    If you have your ipad backed up, you can restore it (You'd need to make sure your backup predated your deletion).

    They aren't supposed to.

    Photostream when enabled will only add photos from the camera roll that were taken post photostream activation. (Photostream does not currently share video)
    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

  • HT201077 Is there a way to delete files locally, on iPad, after they have been backed up in iCloud, without losing any files?

    Is there a way to delete files locally, on iPad, after they have been backed up in iCloud, without losing any files? Because iCloud is seeming like it actually doesn't back up anything.. Just clogs up all storage space on every device with duplicate images/videos. I am looking for a delete when backed up feature. Does that exist?

  • For some reason, movies I rent on my iPad will not delete off of my iPad after I watch them. Is there some backdoor way to remove the rentals? Wifi (No 3G), IOS 6

    For some reason, movies I rent on my iPad will not delete off of my iPad after I watch them. Is there some backdoor way to remove the rentals? 
    Wifi (No 3G), IOS 6

    That means there's no videos left on the iPad,  and the downloads aren't really there.
    Sounds like a job for Apple Support.   They'll have to remove the downloads from the queue to clear the iPad.

  • How to transfer the picture and video from ipad to pc

    I want to transfer the picture and video from ipad to pc while we restoring the ipad?

    To copy photos and videos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page -  on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard.
    To copy photos and videos in the Photos app that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
    If you are going to restore to your last backup then you may also want to copy any purchases from the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases.

  • Can't Remove Music Video from iPad

    I have been searching the various forums and discussions and have not found a solution to this problem that worked. My daughter has an iPad which is registered under my name and is using my iTunes account. There are couple of music videos that I wish to remove from the iPad. I am running the latest iOS on the fourth generation iPad.
    I manually deleted the videos from my iTunes and the iMac. In iTunes on my iMac,  I don't have the option for syncing music and videos selected. I already ran a iPad sync via iTunes hoping to would update and remove them.
    The music videos still show up on the iPad. How do I delete them from there?

    Try this:
    On your iPad go to Settings>General>Usage>Videos
    If the video you want to remove is listed, swipe to the left on the video name to reveal the red Delete button. Press Delete.
    Hope this helps!!!!

  • Can videos not recorded on the new ipad be edited with imovie?

    can videos not recorded on the new ipad be edited with imovie?

    Hi
    Please rephrase Your Question - I'm not clever enough to get it
    There are lot's of Cameras that record in lot's of different ways that can be edited in iMovie.
    No iMovie can not use all Video-Codec's in the World - they are zillions and many needs to be converted to something iMovie can open and work with.
    • Still digital Cameras as Nikons - Import into iPhoto and then in iMovie Event's window import from iPhoto-videos title
    • miniDV tape Cameras - connects only via FireWire - then just Import from Camera into Event's
    • SD-Card or Hard Disk Cameras Connects most ofthen via USB and Import from "File or other"
    • from Internet - (out of my range - Guessing) - most will need to be converted into something iMovie likes - I would try
    - StreamingDV .dv - or -
    - AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec)
    So as You see - I don't get it !
