Export/Share project in IMovie

I have read through numerous posts but still confused. Once I create my project in IMovie what is the best form to export/share for burning on IDVD? I am looking for the best quality DVD and not concerned about file size? I have read to share it to DV and also to export it to Quicktime.
Thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

You've tried Share->iDVD and are not satisfied?

    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.
    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 ?
    iMovie/iDVD preference file
    The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file or "com.apple.iDVD.plist"
    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

    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.
    Where do Your material come from
    Camera
    External hard disk
    USB-memory
    And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

    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....
    from Karsten S
    Shorter clips than 1,5 sec might be one of the culptrits
    Bengt cont.
    Set-Up might differ
    Mac OS - most probably X.7 or more
    iMovie version - more than iM'11 v. 9.0.4
    Action taken
    Finalizing project - I never do as I never understood the gain to do so
    Share as HD to iDVD - never give any gain but if it works the resulting DVD is less quality than if SD-quality was shared
    fps - set - I only use PAL (25fps)

    Are you certain that the serial number is for InDesign? And the correct version?
    Please feel free to PM me if you wish to verify the serial number.

  • Why is the audio asynchronous to the video after I've exported my project in iMovie?

    Hello,
    I've started a project in iMovie which lasts 25 minutes and 59 seconds. Everything is allright but when I've exported the whole project for example to iDVD, the audio gets asynchronous to the video.
    The videos are mostly recorded with a Flip Ultra HD.
    I use a Macbook PRO 13".

    Hi, I'm having the same issue.  There are a number of threads on this topic, but a lot of them were around the 9.0.1 release of iMovie 11.  One suggestion that seemed to help several folks is to detach the audio from the video clip so that iMovie encodes them separately on export.  I understand you can do this in the event/clip editor, not in the project editor, but haven't had a chance to try it myself, planning to try it tonight.
    For reference, I'm running a early-2011-model i5 MBP with Lion and the latest iMovie from Mac App Store.  My video has a combination of .m4v, and .mov(AIC) source files and is about an hour long.  The video and audio during the longest segment get out of sync in the export, although it seems to self-correct every once in a while, as if the software realizes it's out of sync and resets.  Everything plays great in iMovie itself, of course.

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • Can't export/share project. share halts/freezes at 5%

    My version of final cut pro does not have a share tab at the top thus I have to share > master file through the file tab. Each time I attempt to share it only reaches 5% complete before freezing. I have attempted many different variables and am thinking maybe theres an issue with the files I imported.
    they are mostly mpeg 4 and some are protected mpeg 4s. please help, thank you.

    Select the media in the browser, right-click and use transcode media. It will need a great deal of drive space, about 10 times more than the original.
    Before that you should try switching off background rendering and trashing the existing render files.

  • Is there a way to export/share a project from 10.0.1 to Quicktime?

    Any one else struggling with this? I think Mavericks seems good, early days though.

    Cheers for that Matthew. Is there a way to do it(export/share project to QuickTime for rendering)
    Or a similar function in the new iMovie?
    Or could you direct me to a site with such details.
    Much appreciated for any feedback. If I find anything I'll post a link here too.
    Enjoy ya day

  • How can I export a finished project from iMovie when the "share" function will not respond?

    Hopefully someone might have an answer for me. I am trying to export a finished project to You Tube. However, when trying to choose the file, it does not show up in the finished project list. I have gone back to iMovie to see if I've made a mistake with finalizing it. It seems to be finalized, but I cannot share it to anything (You Tube, Facebook, iTunes). I click on share and it does not respond. I click on File, scroll down to share, it does nothing. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you reslove it?

    I experienced the same problem as mreingrover. The Share features of iMovie appear to be completely unimplemented.
    I had had MacKeeper installed for a short while on my previous Mac; never on my new MacBook Pro. I could not find any trace of it in Application Support, Launch Daemons, or LaunchAgents, in either my user Library or the root Library. But I figured maybe there was some trace somewhere that had been copied over from the old system, so I deleted iMovie and went to reinstall it from the App Store.
    Now the App Store wants $14.95 for an app that has never worked right, and which is (I think) supposed to be free with my new MacBook Pro Retina.
