Editing movies from my phone on imovie 09...

Hi all,
I have been filming a lot of random stuff on my Blackberry lately, and would like to edit some on imovie to upload onto youtube. Now, in the past I know that I have filmed something with my bb and then managed to get it onto imovie but I have no recollection of how I did that. Basically, I bluetooth the movies over to my Mac and then open them with quicktime. I have tried exporting the movies into .dv files but that doesn't seem to work either. I'm sure in the past that I have just dragged them into a new event in imovie and then just taken it from there...
Help, please???
Ian

I'll stay in this chat ... I answered in the other one ... I have a Sony digital Handycam ... from years ago.  I just got the LaCie and I think I formatted it for only to be used on my Mac ... how should I go about reformatting it to be HFS Extended like you said?

  • Made movie from go pro on imovies. How do burn to DVD

    Made movie from go pro on imovies but having trouble burning to DVD. Very new to this. An anyone help

    AVI is just a 'wrapper' that can contain content encoded with many different CODECS (encoders); most of which aren't Mac compatable.
    VOB files are MPEG streaming content.
    Most AVI and all VOB files will require some sort of conversion to be useable in iDVD.
    If you have a lot of such files, I suggest you look at purchasing Roxio's Toast; it is far more flexable than iDVD in the files it will accept and should work with your AVI and VOB files.

  • Why I cannot import movies from my camera to iMovie?

    I have an iMac with Mac OS X 10.7.5 and I'm trying to download some movies from my Canon PowerShot SX210IS. To download movies I am using iMovie 09 Version 8.06.
    When I click on the "Open Camera Import Window" it only shows one alternative as shown below.
    It shows "Built-in iSight" and there is no other alternative to select my camera ...
    How can I make iMovie to show my camera in the down arrow so I can select it and download my movies?
    Your advise and recommendation will be appreciated very much.

    Hello AppleMan1958:
    Thanks a lot for your answer, but this is exactly what I am doing and what it does is showing my own picture from the camcorder in my computer. I don't have any alternatives to directly import my movies from my camera.
    I have received answer from Klondike Kid and gave me the possible cause of my problems. iMovie does not recognize digital still cameras as "movie" cameras. I will have to use an external USB card reader in order to import directly from iMovie.
    Again, thanks a lot for your answer.

  • Import from cell phone into iMovie

    How can I import video clips from my cell phone so iMovie will recognize them?  On the cell phone, the files are in a .3gp format.  I can play the clips in QuickTime and save them as MPEG4 files on my Mac.  But, they don't show up when I import an iMove Event (it acts like it's importing them and creating the event, but nothing shows up in the viewer.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Again
    iPhoto is looking for a "standard" digital camera - if the Nokia looks like a standard digital camera then iPhoto will import from it just like any other camera - read the camera manual or contact Nokia support for assistance with their product and details on to set it up correctly

    I recently had my computer break, got a new computer, was able to get all of the iTunes purchased content uploaded to my new mac book but i can't get some of the other music files and movies from digital copies of movies i legally purchased. Now i have a new i phone 6 and i can't get the movies off my phone, i tunes doesn't see them on my phone and my phone has a cloud symbol and can't download them....#help

    Because they contain DRM and aren't playable on third-party devices other than computers.

  • How do I play a movie from my phone to tv, How do I play a movie from my phone to tv, How do I play a movie from my phone to tv

    I am looking for a solution to project my home movie from my iphone to a tv.  I have an apple tv, however I understand I must always have internet to do this.  If I am at someone else's home I would like to play my video's using my iphone.

    A solution to your problem is to get a an AV cable/adapter for your iPhone.  AV cables/Adapter come in three types:
    1.  Digital AV HDMI Adapter.  The highest quality video, but if you have an iPhone 3GS as your tags indicate this adapter won't work with your iPhone.
    2.  iPhone Component Cable.  Will work with iPhone 3GS. Some older TVs don't have these ports.
    3.  iPhone Composite Cable.  Lowest video quality.  Will work with iPhone 3GS.  Best bet for older TVs.

  • HT201272 about a year ago, I purchased music from iTunes.  The title was Welcome Back My Friends to the Show that Never Ends.  Ladies and Gentleman...Emerson, Lake and Palmer.  I have just bought a new computer with Win 8. Will not move from i Phone.

    As the heading states...I cant transfer this album purchase from my phone to my computer.  Only one song gets moved.
    All other titles of music has been transfered.  The Store tries to recharge me if I attempt to reload it on my computer,

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

  • What app do I need to view/edit movies from Panasonic HDC SD90

    I have this great camera and would like to import and edit in iMovie, but can't.  I did a google search and found some free software, but my Mac does not let me open because it is and unidentified developer.

    You can import directly into iMovie from this camera. The easiest way is to remove the SDHC card and put it in a USB card reader. You can also attach the camera via USB. In this case the camera must be also hooked up to AC power (not batteries only.)
    iMovie should see the camera, but if it does not, click FILE/Import from Camera.
    The one gotcha is you need to record in HA mode (1920x1080 interlaced, 17 Mbps).
    If you record in 60P, iMovie cannot import it.
    If your existing footage is 60P, and you really need super smooth slow motion, you might consider Final Cut Pro X, which will import 60P no problem, and allow you to edit the slow motion.
    If your existing footage is 60P and you would like to convert it to 30P to use in iMovie, try either ClipWrap or Voltaic HD and convert your AVCHD to Apple Intermediate Codec at 30P. This will then import into iMovie through FILE/IMPORT MOVIE.
    If you are adventurous and would consider hacking iMovie, here is a blog post you can try at your own risk. I have not done this myself.

  • How do you move movies from iPhoto library into iMovie

    Previously, short movie clips that were downloaded from my digital camera into iPhoto automatically appeared in iMovie.  Now, however, these movie clips still remain in my iPhoto library but do not show up in the Event Library under the iPhoto Videos folder.  How do I get them back into iMovie?  These are movies going back to 2004.  Before they "disappeared" I had edited 250 clips and shared them in iTunes.  They remain in my Project Library in iMovie but I'd like to finish editing them and sharing them in iTunes. I am working with iMovie '09, 8.0.6 (821) and iPhoto version 9.6 (910.29).

    Greetings Joy,
    If you are having an issue with some video showing up in iPhoto but not being available in iMovie, use the steps in this article to bring it over -
    iMovie may not recognize some videos in iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Be well,

  • How can I edit movies from an external hard drive.

    I am having trouble trying to find out haow to edit a lot of movie film that is now digitized .  I want otdo it from an external hard drive or some other way without haveing to  download all of it onto my computer.  I do not have room.  I want to make a number of different dvds from the same footage.

    If you want to keep the actual files on the external, you will goto the File menu in iTUnes and select "Add file or add folder to Library". this will keep the files on the external but list them in iTUnes while its connected to the PC. When you disconnect the external tho iTunes will show a ! mark beside the songs cuz it won't be able to find them.
    If you want to move the files off the external onto the desktop, you will goto file and select "Import" This will copy?move the file from the external to the "iTunes Music" folder on your desktop
