does imovie take quicktime format in osx 10.8.2

The article states it is for all-in-ones and Laserjets, but the ideas may work:
Scan – HP in 10.8
HP Support
Have you tried going to System Preferences/Print & Scan to see if it works from there?
Does it print?

I have my iMovies in QuickTime format on an external drive. Is there anyway to show them from the external drive without putting them into iTunes?

I havei my personal iMovies in QuickTime format on an external drive. I prefer not to have to import them into my iTunes library which is nearly 1GB already. Is there any way to play them from my MacBook Pro through Apple TV 2 without importing them into iTunes?

Just wanted to add a little to the excellent comments from those above... I have debated on adding the content to iTunes or just accessing the content through some folder structure.
What has worked best for me and my family:
use VideoDrive - http://www.aroona.net/VideoDrive/Home.html to import the videos/tvshows into iTunes and make them in the correct format for my iPad/iPhone/AppleTV devices in the house. This software is cheap and excellent and make the adding of content to iTunes (i everything) easy!
I store my videos on a usb 2tb drive and my tvshows on a different usb 2tb drive. And I swap a drive out every year or so and give old drive away to family/friends. That way my media drives are new(ish) and 1 drive is never older than 2 years.
for media that I don't want to add to iTunes I still use AirVideo as it is an excellent piece of software. I also use AirVideo to allow me to access content on my home network over the internet.
my "media server" is a simple 4 year old intel mac mini with 1 gig of ram best $700 I spent when I first flipped to all things mac. Family now have 2 mbp's, 2 iPads, 4 iphones and 1atv (2nd gen)
I'm working on a document that shows how I did my setup - if you want to read more please feel free to download my preview - https://files.me.com/lee.gaupp/aq0gst

Does iMovie take advantage of quad core processing?

Subject line says it all. I just ordered a new quad-core iMac and I'm hoping I'll see a speed bump in Final Cut Express and iMovie, and not just Final Cut Studio...
Anyone know for sure?

actual version of iLife is single-core only.

Why does iMovie take almost 10 minutes to launch?

I have a 2.8ghz iMac with 4G of RAM, no projects loaded, yet iMovie launches VERY slow. The spinning beachball rotates for almost ten minutes before I finally can use the program. Tried to reinstall to no avail.
Does anyone have a recommendation?
Thank you!

Do you have a lot of Movies inside iPhoto? Some people have complained about that. iMovie starts in about 5 seconds for me.

Why does iMovie take so long to import a 300MB video?

Hello.
Basically I have a video file converted via Handbrake so that it would be imported into iMovie. After the conversion, I dragged the MP4 video file into the event. I got a pop-up saying that it would take three to six hours. The resolution of the clip was at 1280X720, at 300MB, it was 15 minutes long. My Mac is rather high specd with a 2.5 Ghz Quad core i7, 4GB ram, 750GB HDD etc. So it shouldn't take that long to import. Can anyone suggest why this is happening? Three to six hours is unacceptable even when they showed how smooth it was on the Keynote for this.

If I back up iMovie projects to an external drive does it take the media with it? I want to free up space and remove pictures that were in iPhoto...that were used as media by iMovie when project was under way. In short I want archive iMovie stuff

If I back up iMovie projects to an external drive does imovie take the media with it? I want to free up space and remove pictures that were in iPhoto...that were used as media by iMovie when project was under way. In short I want archive iMovie stuff. If I pull pics out of iPhoto, and later want to drag an archived projet bac into iMovie and the pics are no longer in iPhoto, will I be able to keep working in the project in iMovie?

Very likely not, as the iPhoto's can be used for something else.
More like it took a copy, or it's referencing that spot on the drive in the editable files and most likely made a copy to create a new permanent export file.
Sample one picture and a iMovie file and see what happens.

How do I convert from imovie to wmv format

how do I convert from imovie to wmv format

Spend some money at http://flip4mac.com and then do some homework regarding exports from iMovie to QuickTime formats.
Then spend some more money to buy the Pro upgrade to QuickTime Player 7 so you can use this third party software (not supported by the newer versions of iMovie).

Why does iMovie stretch my images upon importing?

I've got some footage that I'm trying to import, but iMovie stretches out the video horizontally. I shot the footage using my Panasonic Widescreen mode, but why does iMovie take that footage and stretch it out further? Anyone have any thoughts?

If AppleMan1958's suggestion does not resolve your problem, and if iMovie is the ONLY app that is giving problems, your iMovie preferences file may be corrupted.
To check this out, quit all applications. Then throw away your iMovie Preferences file (com.apple.iMovie8.plist) from your Home (user) / Library / Preferences folder.
A new preferences folder will be generated when you restart iMovie to test whether iMovie imports properly now, but you will need to reset any preference settings you want different from the default values.

Why does it take iMovie longer to import video than the length of the video? For example- it took 2 mins and 15 secs to import 2 mins and 4 secs of video...

It's not like playing a tape. It has to convert it from whatever format you currently have into a codec suitable for editing (Apple Intermediate). This will take longer or shorter depending how compressed your original format is, and on the ability of your CPUs to catch up.

I have just subscribed to Adobe Export and my debit card has been charged but I cannot convert a pdf into a word format on my mac. Does it take time to process? I have purchased the package about thirty minutes ago?

Hi nickel13,
What is the problem you are facing?
Is this happening with a single PDF file?

Audio recording on a flash. recommended to download vlc media player did this. tried to play messages says quicktime does not recognise this format. what to do pleaser

RECIEVED AN AUDIO RECORDING ON A FLASH. PLUGGED IT IN. DOWNLOADED VLC MEDIA PLAYER AS RECOMMEMDED. TRIED TO PLAY.
MESSAGE RECEIVED SAYING QUICKTIME DOES NOT RECOGNISE THIS FORMAT. WHAT TO DO PLEASE.

You could add Perian. It may help (...or not).
Wait, you received and audio recording and you are trying to use a video player (vlc) to play it? What kind of file is it? Does it have a filename extension? If it is .wmv then you might want to install Flip4Mac. Then you could play it with QuickTime.

Why does it take 12 hours to process a 2 hr. in imovie 11

Why does it take 12 hours to process a 2 hr movie to quick time?

iMovie is designed to create simple home movies, not theatrical-length features.
iMovie does all rendering in a single pass when you share the movie, so the longer the movie and the more complex the effects used, it can overwhelm the memory in your computer. I would normally say keep your movies to 30 minutes or less, but there is always an exception to the rule. Some people are able to get more.
If you are able to complete a 2 hour movie in 12 hours, you must have a pretty powerful Mac. Many Macs would crash long before then.
Final Cut Pro X is the tool for theatrical length movies. Final Cut Pro X allows rendering to occur in smaller chunks, so it doesn't have to happen all at the end. When you share the final movie, you are patching together many segments that have already been rendered.
However, as I learn FCP, I have discovered that most pros do not edit a 2 hour movie on a single timeline. They create it in logical scenes, and then only put them all together at the end. They do this for performance reasons, and so in case something goes wrong, the problem is isolated. When they get ready to create their final 2 hour movie, they drag completely rendered scenes to a clean timeline and output the final movie.

Does iMovie work with AVCHD format on mac book pro 10.8.2

Does iMovie work with AVCHD on mac book pro 10.8.2? Getting quit unexpectedly error, after 25 minutes of using.

Check to make sure that your TV is set to the HDMI input that you're using.

Does iMovie 08 actually work at all?

Long story short, I was trying to make a dvd of some old movies of our family for my daughter's upcoming wedding. The movies are in .mpg format. iMovie won't import them as .mpg. After reading some articles and forum posts I googled, I've used MPEG Streamclip to convert them to DV (which iMovie wouldn't import) and to .mov (again, which iMovie wouldn't import) and so I'm stuck. So, does iMovie actually do anything at all besides suck up space on my drive? If so, you couldn't prove it by me.
<Edited out by the Hosts>

MPEG Streamline has a mass of options to choose from when converting video formats - which unless you have some pointers, can produce some very ******* language.
So here are a few snippets of information I've learned from a few other users and claim no credit for the advice, well except to say thank you to the original posters for their help and assistance.
So here goes...
In order for you to be able to import your DVD footage into iMovie 08 you need to change the format of the video files.
I use MPEG Streamclip which is a free download from http://www.squared5.com/ to convert the video.
Once you have downloaded the software and installed it, pop your DVD into your iMac, open up Streamclip, then click FILE > OPEN DVD > Select the DVD from the Devices. You should see VIDEO_TS but ignore this, simply click on SELECT, then select from the drop-down list which track on your DVD you wish to open and click on Select.
After a few seconds the video should open in a new window. If you see 'Warning, the stream may have timecode breaks', click 'FIX NOW', the next page opens, make sure that 'DO NOT SKIP ANY FRAME' is ticked and click 'PROCEED'.
Wait until the video is processed and the opened page shows the video.
Now click on FILE > EXPORT TO QUICKTIME, select compression 'APPLE DV - PAL' from the dropdown menu, and move the quality bar to 100%. Click on 'Make movie'.
From the next page rename the video footage to something more memorable, and save it to th Desktop or somewhere else NOT the DVD which it defaults to - if you forget it will fail!!!
You can now import this video footage into iMovie 08 using the FILE >IMPORT MOVIES from within iMovie 08
Sailingmaster, I hope this helps you out with making a DVD for your daughter's upcoming wedding, and note, I've been using iMovie 08 for approx two months now, and find it extremely intuitive to use.
