Export PS layer into iMovie?

I want to import a PS layer into imovie to use as a title. It is a drawing with words made with the brush tool. I want to use it as a title for my film clip. When I import into iMovie. the layer gets flattened with the background and wants to import the white background as well as the white text. Any thoughts?

Just thought about something. I'm going to try and export the animation as a disk image and then Handbrake it as a QT. A lot of work, but it might turn out to be the only way. If you know an easier one, let me know. Thanks.

Export iDVD animation into iMovie

I have a MacBook w/o an iDVD supported SuperDrive, so I can't burn a DVD, but I was wondering if it was possible to create my iDVD animation, export it into iMovie, dub it up to the beginning of my movie, and export the whole thing as a QT file to email to friends. This way I have the animation, although not looped or interactive, to use as a title sequence in my movie.
Any tips/suggestions? Thanks in advance.

How to import slides into iMovie

I've got a PowerPoint presentation (which I will import into Keynote for the purpose of easier transfer). What I want is to bring it over to iMovie, but I want to manually set the duration each slide is shown for. I'll be adding my own sound track (it's a presentation) so each slide is to stay up for a different amount of time. So, I can't simply export the presentation as a QT movie with a fixed duration for each slide. What's the easiest way to export my presentation into iMovie so as to be able to add sound to each slide and use the length of the audio to tell it how long to leave the slide up for? Then I'll export the whole thing as a QT movie.
thanks!
Mike

It exports them at whatever size the slide is and 72 pixels per inch. So they look ok at size, but if you are going to enlarge them at all, they do lose some.
If you are really worried about quality of the pic, probably export as .pdf. Then open in Preview and save as a tiff.

Importing a Skype recording into iMovie with BOTH audio channels intact

Today I bought Call Recorder from ecamm; this is software designed to record video and/or audio from Skype conversations. Today I successfully recorded a Skype phone call, resulting in a .MOV file that contained both people in the conversation. But when I export this file into iMovie, I get only one voice!
I've converted the .MOV file to MP3, Apple Lossless, and m4a formats, but I still get only the person on the other end of the line, without my voice included in the file.
How can I export the file into iMovie so that BOTH channels are retained?
Thank you!

Lennart usually quotes Fred Shippey on this:
If it's an AVCHD hard disc camcorder, try using Voltaic for converting to DV format. (..I haven't tried that - I don't have a hard disc camcorder - so I don't know how easy or not it is..)
For other kinds of non-tape camcorder, e.g; miniDVD, hard disc, memory chip, the usual means is to use MPEG Streamclip (..which is a free download..) and you'll also need Apple's MPEG-2 Component, which is a $19.99 download from Apple.
In both cases, convert to .dv.
Oooh, sorry Lennart; I didn't see you there!

How can I export the number of pixels of each layer into an excel file?

I would like to export the number of pixels that each layer of an image contains into excel. How can I do this?
Secondly, as I need to do this with several images, is there any way to name the layers so that all layers with let's say for example the name "yellow" appear in the same column in excel?
Some background information on why I need to do this... I would like to know how many percent of an image are yellow and have therefore created layers of one image for each color it contains.
Thanks for your help!!!

Maybe my question was a bit unclear. I do not want to find out the number of pixels of a color in a layer but the number of pixels of the complete layer.
What color these layers are is a different question. I am using images with a very limited range of colors (sort of like the image above but with about 10 colors). I have seperated these colors into layers and now need to count the pixels of each layer and export them.
You can record number of pixels/layer into the Measurement Log, then export data to Excel. But I'm not sure how to automate that without scripting.
Does anyone know how to do this?
For normal artLayers it is somewhat easy to get the number of pixels in the layer. But that is just how many pixels are in the layer.
But that is exactly what I need to know, how many pixels are in the layer. I know how to find this out by looking at the histogram of the selection. But I want to export this information of all layers at once into an excel or text file. Any ideas on how to automate this with or without scripting?

I have a sony hdr td 20ve 3d video camera. Is it possible to import into iMovie 11, edit and export in 3D? I have an iMac 2008 model running Lion 10.7.4

Is it possible to import 3d from the Sony 3D videocamera,model HDR TD 20VE into iMovie 11, edit and export the files to iDVD and produce a disc that plays on a 3d compatible DVD player?

Yes, you can purchase Lion as well as iPhoto and iMovie from the App Store. But before you can do that you must update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 by installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 update. Then you can sign into the App Store with your Apple ID and password, locate the items you want, purchase them, and download them to your computer.

Re user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? - I've followed instructions so far so good, until I get to "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. " How do I do that?

Re AppleMan 1958 excellent user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? -
I've followed instructions with success until "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. " How do I do that?
I installed MGEG Streamclip 193b8 and used their utility to install quicktimempeg2 and got a message stating it was successfully installed. (I'm on latest Maverick 10.9.2 on iMac) Then I dragged the VIDEO_TS file from my home DVD into the streamclip app. It asked which of 4 files to use, and I selected the first one. Streamclip played the video with the sound. so far so good. but now I cannot figure how to use quicktime player 10.3 to export this vob file out of streamclip.

Thank you for your quick reply and for clearing up my confusion. I'm exporting the first section now. I choose the smallest size, 3x4 but I'd prefer to go higher as this DVD was originally a VHS home movie. I'm wondering if after three conversions (VHS,->DVD->MPEG) the resolution will be so poor as to not support a larger size frame? If it can, what size should I select when I export?

Powerpoint Jpeg Export into iMovie

Does anyone know how export more high res images out of powerpoint? For example, when I export the slides to jpegs/individual slides and bring them into iMovie, the images aren't as crisp as they are in original slideshow.
There is a lot of talk on the windows side of things that says by default Powerpoint exports the slide as 96 dpi. Looks like there is a registry change to get it up to 300 dpi, but once again this is for Windows.
Using powerpoint:mac 2011 and iMovie '09. Didn't know where to submit this question so started here.
Thoughts? Anyone? Bueller?

DPI (dots per inch) isn't used by video editors and only the file dimension is important.
DPI is used by printer software.

How can i export video clips in iPhoto into iMovie?

how can i export video clips in iphoto into imovie?

Hello andrewmarkp,
As long as the videos are in a format that can be used by iMovie, they will appear in your Event Browser, under 'iPhoto Videos.'
iMovie '11: Use video from your iPhoto library
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2196
If you’ve imported video from your digital camera into iPhoto, it appears automatically in your iMovie Event Library (as long as the video is in a compatible format).
To use iPhoto video in iMovie:
Click iPhoto Videos in the Event Library.
The videos appear in the Event browser on the right. You can select and use the video just as you would any other footage.
To learn about importing video into iPhoto, open iPhoto and choose Help > iPhoto Help.
Cheers,

Exporting photos into iMovie

I import photos from my camera into iphoto as raw.
When I want to import photos into imovie they come in as raw, how can I change the format into jpeg, and still keep the raw file in iphoto?
Thank you

Merelyn:
Upon import into iPhoto, RAW files get a jpg version generated by iPhoto for use and editing. No editor will or can modify the original RAW file. The edits are always saved to some other format, jpg, tiff, etc. Those jpgs should be the ones that are exported/imported into iMovie for use via the Media Browser. iMovie will copy them in and resize to the size it uses. So there should not be a problem with the large RAW files.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Export settings to QT, then import QT file into iMovie - HELP

Last week quicktimekirk led me through this problem successfully (thanks Kirk!). But after having to take off about 10 days to focus on other priorities, I'm having problems duplicating last week's successful step by step procedure. Outlined below are the steps I'm using, starting with Keynote - QT, which look awesome played in QT, but the QT file won't import to iMovie. I get an "unknown error message. Here's how I have things set right now...
1. Open inspector/document and choose:
Presentation - normal
Slide size - 1920x1080
2. File/export:
Self playing movie
Slide duration 5
Build duration 2
Custom:
Video - Full size (1920x1080)
Select include transparency
Settings
Compression type: AIC
Frame rate: 24
Compressor:HDV720
CHECK THE FOLLOWING:
Video compressor: H264
Video size:1920x1080
FPS - 24
Now, when I try to import the QT file into iMovie, I get an error message that says the file wasn't imported; unknown error. Can someone give me a clue?

It seems that every time you reply your goal has changed.
If you're worried about the self-contained movie requiring FCP to open, that's a simple fix. Right-click on the file and choose Get Info. In the Info window, change the 'Opens With' to QuickTime Player. You'll maintain the best quality and others won't need FCP to open it.

Exporting a slideshow made with iDVD into iMovie

Is it possible to export a slideshow that was created using iDVD into iMovie 08 so it can be modified?
Thank you.

Think of the i-Apps (or more specifically iMovie and iDvd) as a candy bar. Essentially, iDvd is to iMovie what the candy wrapper is to a candy bar. It's simply the exterior packaging of the movie you made in iMovie (or whatever video app you choose to edit in).
Hence iDvd was not designed to edit video content. We normally reserve this task of editing for the video app/s like iMovie, FCE, or FCP. Therefore, it's much easier (and sequential) to go from the other i-apps to iDvd than it is the other way around.
In a word, No.
We don't export slideshows from iDvd to iMovie.... At least not normally.
But we do share/export QT content/movies from iMovie, iPhoto, GB, FCE, FCP, QT Pro, etc. to iDvd.

Exporting then importing projects back into imovie so I can re-edit

If I have almost completed a project but want it off my hard drive for awhile, is there a way to save that project on a portable drive, then latter, if I need to make changes, import that project back into imovie so I can add video or change the transitions, etc. I find after exporting a project if I import it back, it cannot be re-edited without starting all over. In other words I want to save and store a project with all the editing instructions and then be able to import it back for changes. Thanks for any help on this...
Jerry

Project files (which are merely a set of instructions describing how a file will be made when it is to be exported/shared) are relatively small compared to Event (i.e., source) files and you would normally reap greater benefits by moving/keeping them on an external drive. If Events are moved from within iMovie '08, their paths will remain unbroken. If, however, you remove the the project files and anything happens to change either the Project or Event paths, you could be in a lot of trouble trying to get/fit everything back to its proper location with path references in tact at a later time.
