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.

Import Dvd made with Studio into iMovie?

Hello,
I switched from Pinnacle Studio 9.x to iMovie. Now I want to remake a homemade DVD with iMovie. On the DVD are the following maps: Audio_Ts and Video_TS.
I haven't succeded in importing this DVD into iMovie. Is there a simple way to do this or does it mean a difficult workaround?

Hello,
Sorry. Only after I had posted this item I found yhe answer : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2255575?start=0&tstart=0
I think this is too complex for me; I will make a new movie by importing this from my original tape and make a new project.
Thank you for helping me.

How do I save a slideshow made in iDVD to a different video format.

How can I convert a slideshow made in iDVD to one of these video formats: 3g2, 3gp, 3gp2, 3gpp, 3p, asf, avi, divx, dv, dvx, flv, moov, mov, mp4, mpeg4, mpg4, mpe, mpeg, mpg, qt, wmv, xvid so I can download into photobucket.
Thanks!

Did you start your slideshow in iMovie? I do....from there I send it to iDVD, but if I want to do something else with it, before I send it to iDVD, I simply export it from iMovie. That creates a .mov.
If you have the Video TS folder that is on a DVD, Streamclip can extract it. Another option is to use Quicktime Pro to convert your .mov to whatever.....if you want WMV, use the studio version of Flip4Mac.

I can not copy the DVDs that I made with iDVD

I have a strange problem: I can not copy from a DVD that I made with iDVD (my footage, nothing with copyright). When I try to make a copy from the first DVD that I burned I receive the message that i do not have enough privieges. I checked the "Get information" tabs and I see at the end "Only read" (not copy). This was the 1st dvd that I burned with my new G4 with superdrive.
Any idea? Thanks for the help in advance

Hi Texastea:

You don't have enough room for all of that. Run a disk repair and think about an external HD.

Why am I getting wavy, distorted video on a DVD made with iDVD?

I made a DVD with iDVD 5 that has wavy, distorted video. It is watchable but you can clearly see that vertical lines are somewhat wavy whenever the camera pans across the scene. An up-down pan doesn’t distort the horizontal lines, however.
The source video file doesn't display this waviness. Also, I created a DVD of the same video using a PC and the resultant DVD didn't display the waviness. The waviness occurs whether the DVD is played on the computer or a TV monitor with a standalone DVD player. From all this I conclude that it has to be a consequence of the iDVD5 burning process.
Here’s some additional information: The PC burned the video from its original MPEG-2 format. The Mac burned the video from a .mov file that I created from the original MPEG-2 file using MPEG Streamclip. (I need to use MPEG Streamclip to restore (actually convert, I suppose) the audio as the source file has AC3 audio that doesn’t play in iMovie or Quicktime.) The resulting .mov file - when played with Quicktime before burning - does not exhibit the waviness, so I don't think the MPEG Streamclip conversion process is at fault.
On the same DVD I also placed a different video from the same source. It doesn’t display any of the waviness that I get from the other video. The only difference between the videos is that this latter video – after the MPEG Streamclip processing - was chaptered in iMovie HD and then exported to iDVD as a .mov file. I’d hate to think that I have to run every video through iMovie to eliminate the waviness.
So is this just an inexplicable defect or is there something that I might do differently to avoid the waviness that I’m getting in this video?
Thanks, Robert

Robert,
To me, the red flag is that you've created a .mov file from Quicktime for import back into iDVD. A .mov file is generally a smaller formatted movie, typically only 320X240 pixels in size. This size movie, by default, would look perfect when played in QT. But, to go back to iDVD or iMovie, the movie must be expanded back to a 720X480 size movie (typically the DV stream that these programs want and need), so expanding will cause all sorts of distortion. Can you go back to your original MPEG2 source movie and get the movie info on it? You should be able to see the original size. If it is something like 640X480 or 720X480 then use QT to create a .DV file. This will maintain the original size.

How to upload to Youtube a slideshow made with Keynote: it has separate video

I made my 1st slideshow with Keynote tonight, but when I exported it, or converted to a video, it was in 2 pieces! A video and a audio file. I wanted to upload it to Youtube, and I don't know how to do it. Youtube has a "Video Editor" but I couldn't get it to work. I wish Keynote would export like iPhoto and produce a video that has the sound included (but iPhoto isn't so good for including text). Do I have to put Keynote slideshows into iMovie to add sound?

Hey blckhed,

Disc I Made With iDVD Will Not Play Back in DVD Player

I used iDVD to burn DVDs I made with iMovie. The DVDs play back without problem on my home DVD player, but when I try to play them on my Mac G5, the computer keeps ejecting the discs. How can this be? Sureley the discs are compatible with my system or they would not be burnable. Please help!

Hi r
No this is an often described problem.
To make a DVD playable to as many devices as possibly there are some alt ways
to go,.
1. From iMovie to iDVD: I don't use the Share/Export to iDVD from within iMovie.
I drop my movie project icon (with a Star on it) into the open window in iDVD.
2. After done necessary adjustments I go to File/Save as a Disk Image.
3. This disk image I burn with Roxio Toast™ but You can also use Apple Disk Util tool.
4. AT AN AS SLOW speed as possibly eg x1, x2 or x4 => Less errors in burn process.
5. I use Verbatim DVD-R. There are other High Quality brands - this I use.
DVD+R or +/- RW I don't use !!
This DVD should play on nearly all devices.

How can I get iDVD into iMovie?

I made a short DVD by sending iPhoto pictures to iDVD. Everything works fine: music, captions etc., but I cannot get it into my iWeb page. Is there any way now to export it to iMovie so iWeb can take it?
Frank

that's a detour..
from within iPhoto, choose Export with Quicktime and export as a .mov
import THAT into iM, to process further..

PowerPoint with Sound into iMovie

I have Power Point presentations I made with voice over recordings. If I save to QT, I lose the sound. I don't really want to have to record these presentations yet again. (I started with Keynote but the timing was off so I changed to recording with Power Point for Mac). I know how to save the slides and import them to iMovie (save as image) but how do I do that with the sound files? I can't even find the sound files to save them separately.
I used to be able to do this with Windows but when I bring the presentations to my Windows machine and save the way I know how to maintain the sound files, it doesn't save them. I assume that PPT for Mac saves them in a different format than the Windows PPT version. Please help. TIA.

Have you tried...
in PowerPoint
FILE/SAVE AS MOVIE...
Movie Options... choose your soundtrack.
That will give you an .mov file.
If it will not import into iMovie, see if there are tween tracks, closed captioning tracks, or text tracks and delete them with QuickTime Pro.
Come back if you have more questions, or if this does not make sense.
This is easier in Keynote. You just set up the presentation as a timed advance (not manual advance) when you export the movie. This will keep the "bad" tracks out so you don't need QuickTime Pro.

Can't import quicktime movie made from Keynote into iMovie media browser

I've created a file in Keynote, exported it to quicktime and would like to import into iMovie. iMovie keeps giving me this error message: Unknown error: the file could not be imported. Can someone help?

Rarely am I able to solve my own problems, regardless of how much effort. But I did figure this one out, simply by trial and error. *To recap... I have created a sample slide show to use as a test run through Keynote (to get the best builds and transitions), to Quicktime Pro, into iMovie (to marry the features of iMovie with the Keynote slides) then back to Quicktime Pro as a final product.* It was a crash course with all 3 applications, so a huge learning curve for me.
Quicktime Kirk helped me successfully with my first go round with this. But with so many nested compression windows and so many combinations of choices, I eventually forgot which settings had worked correctly to give me the quality resolution that I had achieved the first time.
So I posted several messages asking for some clue where I was going wrong. Kirk did get back to me, but told me that I needed to create my project entirely without iMovie. Very frustrating because I knew I had done it before with iMovie.
After literally hours of analyzing all the working files and duplicating the exact settings I used before, two scenarios were happening. One, the end product had terrible resolution quality (not even close to the first time around). *Or two, when trying to import the first Quicktime file created from Keynote into iMovie, there was an error message saying that the file could not be imported*.
So, I eventually decided to try the following:
*1. Create Keynote file*
*2. Export to QT with "Full Quality/Large" setting checked, and "Include Transparency" checked.*
*3. Open QT file to check quality. If acceptable, export this QT file as a QT file again using the highest quality settings - preferably ones that match the first export from Keynote to QT.*
*4. Open iMovie file and import this new QT file.*
*5. Do my thing with it.*
*6. Export (Share) iMovie file as a final QT file with "Full Quality" setting checked in the first pop-up compression window.*
This sequence proved to be successful with the same high quality resolution as the very first go round with it. I KNOW, though, that this wasn't the sequence I used the first time because I didn't do step 3.
I am just happy that I got what I needed. Now I can create my full presentation without worrying about the outcome in the end.
*Because I'm on a Mac, and the AIC default is used, my next feat is going to be identifying codec settings that are going to work both on Mac and PC (newer machines AND older machines).*
*So, does anyone have a clue how to do this?*

Why can't I import sound with video into iMovie from digital camera?

This is disturbing. I have a digital video camera that took great video + sound. I import into iMovie (using my DV cable that came with the camera) and get video but no sound.
Now, in the past the sound came in, but no longer. Any and all advise is requested. I have to make number videos of lectures starting Wednesday evening and have to be able to provide video with audio.
Thanks.

Try importing video shot with the camera's internal
microphone. If that doesn't work either, the mic is
not the problem.
I have no problem importing sound with video when using the internal video camera mic. No problem (other than sound quality issues with the speaker being 40 feet away from the camera's internal mic!
But I can play back the video made with the external mic in the camera and the sound is stunningly clear, crisp and loud. It's just a matter of getting it out of the camera into my Mac. I don't think it's the microphone; it must be the computer.
I just find it sad to believe that Apple's software is so limited--even in Final Cut Express HD.

IPhoto 06 slideshow shared with iDVD 06

I have created a slideshow in iPhoto 06 and shared it with iDVD 06. I have shared the slideshow from iPhoto in 4:3 DVD TV and Widescreen to iDVD and saved as standard and widescreen. When I play the DVD in my DVD player it crops the pictures and titles (I have played on two different TV's and DVD players with the same result). What am I doing wrong?

DVD's made with iDVD that once played now don't

DVD's that I created with iDVD several months ago are now not recognized by the Apple DVD Player, even though I was able to play them when I originally burned them. They show-up in the Finder window as blank CD's, and I'm asked if I'd like to burn them.

Welcome Craig Seanor
I am using Memorex DVD-Rs, which have worked fine on my DVD players in the past (using Windows-based software to burn)..........
Does anyone have any ideas???
Yes. Suggestion only: Use Verbatim DVD-R Minus media and not Memorex. Also please burn from a disc image at 4x or slower using apple's DU or Roxio Toast.
Both Len Goff and I agree that verbatim is the media of choice. While Memorex and TDK are often the least desirable.

Exporting set of measures with aliases into essbase cube

We were wandering if there is an easy way to import bunch of measures with aliases into Essbase cube rather then entering them one by one?
thank you

Simplest way, would be to create a spreadsheet with the Measures and alias listed in column format.
You can organize them in Generation, Level or Parent-Child format.
Create a dimension load rule that maps the columns to properties in Essbase.
When you want to modify the Measures dimension layout, change the spreadsheet and rerun the load rule.
