Export imovie projects from desktop imovie to laptop imovie

I have made three imovie projects in imovie on my desktop. I would like to edit them further on my laptop. When I try to copy/paste the file from desktop to lap top the movie part of the is not readable in imovie on my laptop.
Am I attempting the impossible?

Transfer of projects between iOS devices and Macs was broken in iMovie 10 (http://www.macworld.com/article/2057972/imovie-for-ios-projects-no-longer-work-o n-the-mac.html). As far as I can determine it has not (yet?) been restored and you can only send completed (shared) videos via iTunes. The article referenced indicates that it was possible to import iMovie iOS projects into iMovie '11 but the Apple article in the link has been withdrawn.

How do I export a project from Final Cut Pro onto my desktop?

How do I export a project from Final Cut Pro to my desktop as a movie?

Can anyone please help me.. when I click on my timeline in my project library and try to export movie nothing happens! and when I try to "share" to youtube I get an error message stating that it cannot be exported because it contains "no video"... The 4 minute music video that I've created with shots off my Canon T2i looks and plays great....If I uploaded the videos into Final Cut but did not save them on my desktop or anywhere else on the Mac would this be a reason to get this message? I have never experienced this before...the only option under "share" that works is "email"

I am exporting my project from CS3 to Encore. The message tells me my video file exceeds the capacity of the disc. Any help? In fact I have adjusted the bitrate to 4478 MB and it let me pass, But when it goes to ENcore the message says the file exceeds 4.7 GB. I chacked up it is true the M2V files is over 5 GB. Why is it? Anyone can help? Thanks a lot!

>a " trick " question
Hmm... let's see here...
The Semi has taller tires, but the Ferrari has wider tires
The Semi has 18 gear speeds, the Ferrari has a 6 speed transmission
The Semi and the Ferrari both have a supercharger
The Semi runs Diesel, the Ferrari runs high octane gasoline
The Semi driver is about 6 feet above the roadway, the Ferrari driver about 6 inches
The Semi driver has a CB, the Ferrari has a stereo with 12 speakers
I think this deserves a bit more study...

After i export my project from iMovie, where does it go?

i exported mmy project to idvd and i cant find my project, i have it on my desktop but it wont open up or play please help.

i cant find my project,
i have it on my desktop
What are you clicking on your desktop if it is not your project, the one you cannot find?
You will be better off posting in the iMovie and/or iDVD forums where the experts hang out. This forum area is for MBP problems which you are not having. Your problem is software related.
Also, it would be helpful to the folks helping you if you would advise which OS system is currently installed.

Can I export a project from iMovie 11 to a camera?

Can I export a movie from imovie 11 to a camera? If so, how do I do it? Thank you!!!

iDVD is not avail via the MAS.
only in the boxed version of iLIfe (any version).
consider other tools, as Roxios Toast or the free Burn .
those are less integrated into iLife, less easy modifyable and for sure not as 'good looking' as iDVD.
in case you still own old installer-disks of any old Mac, consider a 'custom install' of iDVD/iLife from those (mostly on Disk #2).

Exporting DV projects from imovie09 to WDTV

I would appreciate some advice on how best to export DV (PAL 576i) projects from imovie09 for viewing on a WD TV media player.
I have, BTW, already purchased Steve Mullen's "The Ins and Outs of iMovie 09" as often advised on this forum but there is no information on this topic.
Thanks, Wobba

What version of Aperture do you have? This is simple with AP3. Fle -> Export -> Project as New Library. At the far end, Import Library....

Exporting or Copying from Desktop Taking a Long Time

Hello-
I am a super user.
I ran a standard report set up by our administrator, then altered it by adding two new fields and adding a condition. The report ran in less than a minute and returned 6864 rows. For some reason, the report will not export and I cannot do a copy-paste from Desktop to Excel. Under either scenario, I get the hourglass for several minutes (over 30).
Why would a report that queries and runs quickly slow down when I try to export it?
Thanks

4. what happens if you try to export as something else such as an HTML file?
***I didn't try this, but I need Excel, not HTML.
The reason I asked if you'd tried exporting to a different filetype is that I was trying to ascertain if it's Discoverer as such, or the tool it's being exported to has changed, updated, driver,, etc.
For example if it exports quickly with all rows to another format (html for example) then it might help as knowing it seems to be only an Excel problem.
Additionally:

minutes (over 30).Could you get the owner of the workbook to create another version for you with your minor changes and then see if that one runs quickly and can be exported. If not, I wonder if it's a privilege setup (for exporting) and a security setup (query doesn't come back) as they can do something you can't.
Finally, what Disco flavor is it? (desktop, plus, viewer)?

Exporting multiple projects from FCP timeline hangs

When rendering multiple projects from Final Cut Pro's timeline through compressor, I get varied results. I am rendering 3 files - Apple Pro Res, MPEG-2 (VBR Highest quality for Blu-Ray), & 48khz AIFF audio file.
Typically we will set up 3 projects for one night to render overnight (30 minutes to 1 hour for each project). In the morning when we come in compressor will sometimes show up as 90 hours remaining, sometimes it will still be cranking out on the last project with 12 hours remaining. If we leave it going it will eventually finish. However when we shut everything down, reboot computer, start export from timeline and it completes the render in HALF the time compressor stated remaining before we closed it. Each project typically takes 6-8 hours to get all three files (pro res, MPEG-2, AIFF) we allow 18 hours for render.
Drive space should not be an issue. We have a 5 TB array (typically has 2 TB free for 4 projects), system drive has 350 GB free and the 4 projects rendered out will take up approximately 300 GB. The project reads, and writes to the array for everything.
Any help on trying to figure out why compressor slows down over time. Once restarting compressor goes as expected.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Don
All software is up to date latest versions of FCP and Compressor.

This is like an EDL...Edit Decision List. This basically is a metadata rich document that is used to transfer clip information between systems. You can export an XML from FCP 7 to FCP 6 so that you can open a sequence, or a project. Export an XML of the sequence and open that up in Excel to have clip name, reel and timecode information for tracking footage.

Transfer projects from desktop to lap top

I want to transfer my Logic Project from my apple desktop to my apple lap top via rw cd is this possible? I just did save as and when I opened it in he lap top it wouldn't open. Do I have to save it a certain way?

Just an idea, but how about Bluetooth via Migration Assistant?

Changing Captivate 8 responsive projects from "desktop first" to "mobile first"

Dear Captivate team and fellow users,
when designing responsive projects in CP8 (or 8.0.1.242) the standard behaviour is that changes on the desktop-version are heritaged / copied to the tablet and mobile view. So the desktop-view and desktop-options are the parent, tablet is the child and phone is the grandchild.
This is quite handy, but often one needs to approach the content development other way round: design "mobile first" and the settings done here should be transfered to the bigger screen sizes of tablet and desktop. Is this feature somehow implemented or planned?
Thanks in advance and best regards
Philip

Hey Lilybiri,
I have just posted the feature request. Thank you for coming back on me this fast.
Best wishes
Philip
Copy of feature request:
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
1) Brief title for your desired feature:
From "Desktop first" to "Mobile first"
2) How would you like the feature to work?
Dear Captivate team and fellow users,

3) Why is this feature important to you?
Mobile first is usually the more important way when designing eLearning which shall be shown on mobiles. As tablets and desktops might not need too much of an adaption regarding font and image size, the screen size of mobiles is quite limited. Therefore it often makes sense for us to start from the mobile perspective and design the "basic needs" and then go up to tablet and desktop and think about what might make sense to be added to the additional space.

I cannot export my project from Final Cut. All the options are disabled. Can anybody help me?

I have the latest version of FCPX and the final version of Compressor. I have my project ready but I cannot export because everything (Compressor, DVD, MasterFile etc.) is disabled. I need to export this project ASAP.
P.S. This is the first export that I am trying to do on a new iMac, with OS X Yosemite.
Thank you all!

I get this warning when trying to export a project from iMovie.

The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-50).
Does anyone know why?
Thanks

Hi
Error -50 paramErr Error in user parameter list
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 ?
Yours Bengt W

Cant export my project from imovie as an archive

it says it makes reference to the camera

In iMovie 09 (also known as version 8.0.6) there is a bug which causes unpredictable audio artifacts when you use custom speed changes. By this I mean speed changes of 23%, 139%, 78%, etc.
The solution is to choose speeds that are by the tic marks in the Inspector. If you stick with these speeds, the sound should work as expected. (From memory, 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, 400%, 800%. - There may be others)
When you change your speeds to one of these numbers, and then Share your project, it should work for you. Good luck.

How can I transfer iTunes from Desktop PC to Laptop?

I have just brought a laptop and I would like to transfer my iTunes over from my desktop PC to my Laptop, does anyone now if this is possible and easy to do? Could I just download itunes from the internet on my Laptop or is it easier and better to transfer it all from my PC. My Laptop is Vista and my PC is running XP. Thank you.

The following article tells you how to do the transfer using an iPod. But the method is essentially the same whatever physical vehicle you use to copy files across. An external disk drive is good.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
Be aware that when you transfer files from XP to Vista, you may run into permission issues as the the method involves copying the iTunes folder created on another computer to a Vista PC and vista is fussy about permissions. You need to be sure that your account on the vista PC has full control.

Export HD project from CS4 - assistance needed!

I could use some advice working my way out of what feels like a sticky situation. Partially because I'm not extremely experienced with video production (espcially exporting), but also because I was a punk and broke that cardinal rule of not switching to HD before you know what you are doing. And thus my cousin's wedidng video has taken longer to edit and export to author a DVD than planned...
It is a big mess to unravel, so if anyone can offer any advice, I would appreciate it.
I have everything edited through Premiere in CS4. Trouble is I cannot figure out how to export the footage in such a way that 1) fills a widescreen tv all the way and 2) is actually the high quality I'm expecting.
Some detail:
1) I export into a widescreen format (my preferred export setting is H.264) but when playing the DVD on a widescreen TV, it plays as widescreen, but there is a nice large black border surrounding the entire image - it just doesn't fill up the entire screen. On a non-widescreen TV it doesn't look properly letterboxed and looks extremely close to a 4:3 ratio.You can see the difference between the widescreen letterboxed DVD menu, and the much thinner black 'letterboxing' of the wedding video. How can I fix this?
2)
The quality just isn't HD like I was expecting, and like it looks like when editing in Premiere. In fact, sometimes it doesn't even seem as good as SD quality, especially when there is motion in the frame and when tracking movement. I filmed with two different cameras I had borrowed from various folks. One camera shot in 1440x1080, and one shot in 1920x1080. I didn't know this till I was pulling the footage in for editing. I don't know if this has anything to do with the quality on export - both look about the same in Premiere when editing. When watching the exported video, it does not handle any motion in the frame well at all - blurred motion is all over the place. It doesn't do this in Premiere. I'm wondering if it is because I should deinterlace the footage? I don't know if my camera recorded in 1080i or 1080p (and have no clue how to figure this out). Or, should I try to turn the 1440 footage into square pixels to correct the aspect ratio?
I've read some forum posts, and am wondering if the problem is that CS4 can't export HD footage for standard def. DVDs. I figured if the file size ended up being small enough to fit on a standard DVD, it would work just fine. I've exported. Perhaps this is the problem with the film quality? In which case, what suggestions are there for how to export?
Essentially, I could use any suggestions about how to export this footage in a format that will play on either widescreen or standard aspect ratio (I'm game for whatever will provide the best quality picture at this point, even if I lose the sides of my footage converting to 4:3). Or, is it that I need to make some changes before even going to export?
Thanks for your thoughts. And yes, I am so incredibly, fully aware of the folly of moving to a format I know aboslutely zilch about. I actually had that thought when I was preparing to film the wedding and though - meh, I've had no real trouble before with any of my video projects, I've got to try HD someday! UHG!
Thank you,
Heather

I filmed with two different cameras I had borrowed from various folks. One camera shot in 1440x1080, and one shot in 1920x1080
That is not the end of the world. Set up an AVCHD sequence (1920x1080 50i for Europe, 60i for USA and non-anamorphic) and drop the footage into that. 1440x1080 will adjust itself.
If you want best quality export your timeline to BluRay (you need a BD burner) Forget about HD on DVD.
If you do not want BluRay you have to settle for less quality on DVD. (H.264 is not an option for making a DVD)
See export settings:
Once exported load the two files (one for audio and one for video) into Encore, author and burn.
