Export an iMovie to WEBM format?

Does anyone know if iMovie can export an iMovie to the webm format? That's the format now for Google.
Or does anyone know of a free converter for m4v files to webm?
thanks,

Glad to be able to help.
As an amateur videographer, I do have to wonder if all these video codecs are harmful or helpful. Is there really much difference from one to another, and if a standards body could come to some agreement and have everyone be able to use one video format, wouldn't we be better off?
Probably sacrilege to even suggest such a thing...

  • How can I export an imovie in a pc format?

    How can I export an iMovie to a format that will work on a PC?

    Easiest was is to install QuickTime for Windows (which is free from Apple) on the PC. Then any iMovie-created file will work.
    If you do not have permission to install QuickTime for Windows on your PC (this could be the case for a corporate PC, for example), then I would suggest using SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose Movie to MP4. Choose h.264 for the video codec.

  • Exporting from imovie has no audio

    I am trying to export my imovie to different formats and each time I cannot hear any audio on the exported file, What gives?
    I have tagged both audio channels in the timeline.
    I have checked the EDIT VOLUME button also.
    Nothing works.
    Is the problem with imovie or quicktime player?

  • 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).

  • IDVD: Files exported from iMovie 11, one works, one "Unsupported File Type : Unknown format"

    I used footage from the same camera (taken on the same weekend using the same settings) in several different iMovie "projects". All were shared from iMovie 11 as "File" using the quality setting "SD 480p".
    In Quicktime Player, all ".mp4" files will play and they show the following info in its inspector:
    Format: H.264, 854 x 480
                  AAC, 48000 Hz, Stereo (L R)
    FPS: 29.97
    One exported file will drag, drop, and burn in iDVD just fine. The other two files show the error "Unsupported File Type : Unknown format" as soon as I try and drag them into iDVD.
    The only difference I can find is that the one file that works is about 803MB, while the files that don't work are 1.87GB and 3.98GB.
    All files and the iDVD project are in the same folder on my startup volume. I've tried deleting com.apple.idvd but that didn't help. I've tried rebooting and starting the iDVD project from scratch but I get the same results.
    Mac OS 10.9.1
    iMovie 10.0.1
    iDVD 7.1.2
    Any ideas?

    Hello Bengt and thank you again for the replies.
    As I mentioned in my previous posts, I'm using iMovie 10.0.1 which has very limited quality adjustments. In every case I chose the smallest size, which iMovie 10.0.1 calls "SD 480p (854 x 480)". I used this same setting on all exports.
    I still have iMovie HD (6.0.4) and iMovie '11 (9.0.9) on my iMac so I tried both of them. In both cases, they could import only the file that works in iDVD. Both older versions of iMovie choked on the longer movies shared from iMovie 10.0.1.
    I have many many hours into the editing of these clips and I do not want to have to go back and redo everything in an older version of iMovie. Might I be better off going with a different DVD creation software? Or am I out of luck? Because I can't really change iMovie 10.0.1's export settings, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to get it to export it as something that iDVD can use (really, I can't even tell why it's different and why iDVD doesn't like it).
    The software "WonderShare DVD Creator" has no issue with any of the files I've exported from iMovie 10.0.1.    

  • Exporting from iMovie '09 in different formats

    Does anyone know how to export from iMovie to a more acceptable format than .m4v because it doesn't appear to work on a powerpoint presentation and I would like to export it to .avi or .wmv or .mp4
    PD I'd need it to be no more than 10 MB even if it looses quality
    THANKS

    .m4v and .mp4 are the same thing, just modify the extension manually (or set up an Automator process if you need it frequently) and you should be all set.

  • Exporting from iMovie 9 to different formats...

    If i wanted to export a project FROM iMovie 9 to a file that i could then click and drag into iMovie 6 HD, which would i use?
    I want it to be in the best quality possible (it was recorded in HD) but at this point, even i have to sacrifice the HD for it to work, i will.
    I tried exporting in iMovie 9 to DV Stream, and when i looked at it after, it was all pixelated and distorted.
    Can someone please even outline what "settings" i should use (ie - Rate / Scan Mode)
    Thank you.

    i actually figured out just using Export Movie will work just fine.
    Sorry about the post!

    Hi

    Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
    What this means in Your situation is above me.
    • free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
    Video codec
    • streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
    Pictures
    • in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
    Audio
    • from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
    The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
    Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
    • Library - at root level
    • Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
    from Luke Burns
    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

    You need more free space on your hard drive.

    After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
    Where do Your material come from
    • Camera
    • External hard disk
    • USB-memory
    And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

  • Best practice for exporting from iMovie '08 to iDVD

    I am looking to find out what is the best practice for exporting from iMovie '08 to iDVD. I have read the other postings that give the basic howto (export to Media Browser then select the video in iDVD). However, my question is a little more technical. I have 1080i HD projects. I am interested in burning them to DVD in the best possible quality. What setting should I be using when I publish to Media Browser?
    I am wondering about quality loss due to more than one conversion/compression. I suspect that when I export to the Media Browser then this is occurring. If I am not mistaken iMovie is using something like H.264 for this. Then, when I run iDVD I suspect it will it do another conversion/compression, I think to get to MPEG2. Not only could this result in a loss of quality but also it will take extra time. I am interested to know what others think about this.
    Finally, I am looking to create DVDs for a lot of video. I am wondering if there are any USB or firewire hardware devices out there that could speed up the compression. I use the Elgato Turbo.264 when I want to encode to H.264 but I wonder if there is something similar for DVD creation.
    Thanks in advance.

    the standards for videoDVD are 720x480, and usually mpeg2 encoded..
    so, your HiDef project HAS to be 'downsampled' somehow..
    I would Export with Qucktime/apple intermediate => which is the 'format' your project is allready, and you avoid any useless 'inbetween encoding'..
    iDVD will 'swallow' this huge export file - don't mind: iDVD cares for length, not size.
    iDVD will then convert into DVD-standards..
    you can 'raise' quality, by using projects <60min - this sets iDVD automatically to highest technical possible bitrate
    hint: judge pic quality on a DVDplayer + TV.. not on your computer (DVDs are meant for TVdelivery)

  • Best way to export from iMovie 09 to iMovie HD

    Due to a) image quality issues, and b) no export to tape feature, I need to stick with iMovie HD for all my editing needs.
    However, I do want to use those nifty map and photo animations in my iMovie HD project. What are the best settings for exporting from iMovie '09 to a format that works in iMovie HD and is 1080i? Since I'm working with HD files, I don't really care about size.
    Thanks!

    Thanks shawk, however, the DV stream is not in HD. It exports in 720x480 I think.
    I've had some time to test out the AIC more. I can't find a difference between the 1080i and 1080p (even though it converts down to 1080i for the final). There doesn't appear to be a noticeable loss in quality and it seems to work perfectly with iMovie HD. Maybe I answered my own question? haha.

  • Export Complete iMovie '08 project

    We are hoping to move an entire iMovie '08 project to a friends computer.
    We first tried just moving the project from the iMovie Projects folder to the same location on their Mac, but the .avi files that were imported into iMovie from iPhoto did copy (nor are the stored in the iMovie Events folder).
    Also the songs didn't seem to copy either (the songs were inserted into the Movie through iTunes).
    Has anyone found any sort of easy way to export an iMovie project to another computer with all of the linked resources (that might be in iPhoto, iTunes, or wherever)?

    iMovie Projects are .MOV files. Once you create a Project it takes the clips from Events in whatever format they are in (usually AVI from iPhoto, DV etc. from the iMovie Events folders) and converts them to H.264 .MOV files. Once they are in a standardized, editable format, you can then overlay sound, transitions, and titles.
    It sounds like you tried to move the files from the Events folder as located in the Finder. That will not be the integrated project.
    Just select the edited clip(s), Control-Click and choose Reveal in Finder. That's the file you want.
    If you want both the Event and Project files on another Mac, you need to manually find the AVI file via the iPhoto link in the Event Library. This is because (for some odd reason) iMovie cannot find the original clip using Control-Click Reveal in Event Browser for iPhoto imports to the Project Library.
    Therefore, you need that same AVI moved via the Finder from iPhoto tot he other Mac's iPhoto.
    A better editing option is to simply export all your iPhoto movies in AVI format to iMovie directly. That way the internal linking between the Project Library and Event Library works as it should. The iPhoto grab from iMovie is a bit of a kludge.
    Hope that helps.

  • Exporting to imovie 6

    Hi all,
    What would be the best export setting to use in FCP if I were trying to compile those exports in iMovie 6 using widescreen 16:9 format. The original capture is from a Sony DCR-TRV280 in widescreen mode. Right now I have tried DV NTSC anamorphic in FCP but get a black box around all four sides when viewing in iMovie. I do understand the incombatabilities of the two programs (timecode,etc). , but thought maybe there was a workaround. I can capture fine in both iMovie and FCP and everything looks fine in all previews as well as the final export.
    Thanks in advanced

  • Exporting  to .avi or .mov format

    How can I export and iMovie to a .avi or .mov format? For use by others with PC's , etc.

    both, avi and mov are no formats, just containers, some say wrappers...
    in the share/expert settings dialog, you're offerd with zillions of options...
    PC users need to install the latest version of QuicktimeForWindows, free for download at apple.com...
    avi is little supported on Mac... old school & wrong side of the street..
    think about investing into some plug-ins from www.flip4mac.com …
    form a users point of view, I collected some info on a website: CODEXX

  • Exporting from iMovie for additional editing?

    I have an iMovie sequence that took a long time to edit, but I need to export the footage to another editing app (GoPro Studio). I invested a LOT of time creating the iMovie, but need to merge much of it with other GoPro footage. GoPro studio has a few features that can adjust for GoPRo wide angle lens etc that iMovie can't do.
    I am concerned that once the footage has been rendered/exported FROM iMovie then rendered again in GoPro studio for final, that I will have an extra generation of interpolation that will further degrade the image quality. Is there a LOSSLESS export option form iMovie? (I'm using the most recent version)
    I'm obviously not a pro video editor, but I am a pro photo retoucher, and would never create a second copy of a file using JPG format. I'm assuming that video rendering (exporting) also INTERPOLATES the pixels, resulting in a noticeable image degradation.
    So is there a "LOSSLESS" export option? Or a format that is virtually indistinguishable form the original? I hope I'm being clear enough on this.
    thanks!

    Do you have a MobileMe account? If so an alternative is to publish directly from iMovie to a MMe gallery. You can include several sizes of the same movie in the gallery to accommodate visitors with different connection speeds. This demo page has an example: Adding a MMe Gallery from iMovie 09.
    Or, there are a couple of ways of embedding a QT movie into a web page that does not require the movie to load with the page, only when the play button is selected. See these demo pages: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window and QT Movies via Export for Web in QT Player.
    This demo page has seven examples of the first method: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes

  • Exporting from IMovie 8 to IMovie 6

    Does anyone know how to export (share) a movie created in Imovie 8 to Imovie 6? I was told to use the QuickTime option. I did. I get sound but no video. I'd like to add markers.
    I'm using QuickTime, Perian, DivxDoctorII. I don't have a problem seeing my converted avi clip to mov in QuickTime before I put it in iMovie 8. I can work with it, but then exporting it, I get a mov file which just plays sound (black screen).
    Thanks

    I can work with it, but then exporting it, I get a mov file which just plays sound (black screen).
    "Black" screen output usually indicates your video source files are encoded in the Apple Animation or Apple Video compression format. Such files will import and edit normally but only export with a "black" screen and a total data rate only slightly greater than the required for your audio content. DON'T USE FILES ENCODED USING THESE CODECS. This is a well know issue that goes back to iMovie '08's initial release and is typically re-documented in this forum at least once or twice each week.
    An MOV file is merely a generic file container than can hold any valid audio and video combination whether "Playback Only", "Conversion Compatible", or "Edit Compatible" with QT applications. iMovie '08 looks at the compression format and not the container. To determine if this is your problem here, open one of your problem source files in the QT Player and check the "Format:" line in the "Inspector" window. This will tell you what codecs where used to create your source file. If the video was encoded using either the Animation or the Video codec, you will have to re-compress the video to an iMovie '08 compatible format like DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264, re-import the converted files, and re-edit your project for proper sharing/exporting.
