Exporting back to camcorder

I have seen this issue referred to indirectly, but did not see a definite response: In iMovie 08, is exporting the movie back to DV camcorder possible? And, if so, is it lossless as it has been in iMovie since its inception?

Hi
Got it Yes. Managed to export back to iMovie HD 6 - other then bypassing
QuickTime Full Quality .mov: NO
I just keep iM08 as quriosa and an example of warning What happens when
people without history and feeling for users, gets fiddling with a great program.
Haven't been able to put togheter anything - that I would call desent.
Fought with sound that I needed from a few clips in several other places.
Gray hair producing task. Don't try it - it is a speed agening process.

  • Dual 1.8 PowerPC G5 won't export to miniDV camcorder

    iMovie 6.0.4 completed movie I am trying to export to a camcorder only exports audio. I have done this numerous times on other Macs with these same camcorders with no trouble. This time, after some false starts where firewire cut out, iMovie begins export and camcorder starts recording but cam screen remains black as recording continues. I stop the process at the computer and rewind tape to play back. Tape video is black but audio is present. Any suggestions on what is wrong and how it may be remedied?

    Hi
    *Read this General collection of ideas.*
    Test another FW-Cable.
    Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
    Toogle in iMovie pref: Play-back via Camera (on<->off some times)
    Other ways to import Your miniDV tape:
    Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
    but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
    If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
    over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
    (HAS TO BE Mac OS Exchange formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
    (Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)
    FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin FW one ?
    Using WHAT ? :
    • Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
    • QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
    • iMovie 8 (7.1.?) ?
    • iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
    Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? (Others don't count)
    Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
    Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
    This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
    (Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
    everything else is OK eg recording and playback to TV)
    Delete iMovie pref file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into
    this and have a re-try.
    from LKN 1935:
    Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935
    from Karsten:
    in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
    camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
    camera not on battery, but power-line?
    did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?
    a technical check:
    connect camera, on, playback, fw-connected...
    click on the Blue Apple, upper left of your screen ..
    choose 'About../More..
    under Firewire.. what do you read..?

  • I-Movie 6 Back to Camcorder problem

    I recently completed a project in i-Movie 6 and successfully burned a DVD.During this project I was able to view it via the camcorder (Panasonic NV GS 400). However, when I came to return
    it to tape, I continually got a message that "connexion to the camera has been lost". I could, moreover, no longer view the project on the camcorder. I had successfully completed another project a couple of months before with a DVD and returned it to tape. In the meantime, I ha upgraded to Leopard from Tiger.
    I am most disappointed, as I like i-Movie 6 very much, but I must be able to return to tape.
    What is causing this problem, does anyone think (or better still, know)?
    One more point - I could play back clips on the camcorder, but the problem was with the Timeline, ie the project as a whole.

    To Profe07,
    Yes, exactly that. On completing the Project I can immediately burn a DVD successfully. As soon as I request "Export back to Tape" everything goes to pot - no VIEWING via the camera, no ability to burn DVD, and of course no EXPORT to camera. On exporting to camera I get a message (after one second) "Connexion to Camera has been lost". On burning to DVD I get a message " Errors in the Project which need to be fixed first".

  • I want to open excel spread sheets make additions and export back to pc users.  Is numbers suitable for this activity?

    I want to open excel spread sheets make additions and export back to pc users.  Is numbers suitable for this activity?  I am using a MACBook Air

    just read this in an other answer:
    Pages can open docx files, Numbers can open xlsx files. Each can export to  can export .doc or .xls to the newest Word or Excel format.respectvely, but not to the more recent .docx or .xlsx.
    Translation is not perfect in either direction. Numbers and Excel handle some similar features (eg. pop-up menus vs data validation) differently, and the translator cannot translate from one implementation to the other.
    If much of your work is going to be transferred between your machine and Windows machines running either MS Excel or MS Word, with editing taking place at both ends of the tunnel, then you'll probably be better off with Office, or one of the Office clones on the Mac end.

  • How best to export back to video camera dv tape?

    I know iMovie no longer has the export back to tape option in 09 version. But, there must be a good way to do it anyway? Does 09 allow me to export to DV (MyMovie.dv)? If so, then I guess I could take that exported file and import it into my old iMovie 6, and then export from there back to a DV tape via firewire. If someone knows a better way, the let me know.
    Thanks

    You can avoid all video editors by using an app called SimpleVideoOutX:
    http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/samplecode/SimpleVideoOut/Introduction/In tro.html
    Just download the SampleCode archive, extract the archive and look for SimpleVideoOut X.app. Just drop the video on the app icon to launch the app.
    It has been around for MANY years, but not well known. This is a free app created to do exactly what you want. Caveat is, to go to DV, the video file can NOT be higher than DV resolution, or the screen with just show black on the DV camera. But it will work with any SD, or lower, resolution video file that Quicktime will play back. I have watched many videos on my TV this way, and it is MUCH cheaper than an Apple TV, with out the format issues.
    You can select DVCPRO HD, Digital Cinema Desktop and FireWire as the output options. For DV, select Output=Firewire, and Mode=Apple FireWire NTSC.
    There are a couple other option available at the bottom right of screen to play with, but generally, the defaults work for the majority of cases.
    For extensive detail on its use, check this article:

  • Importing/placing pdfs and exporting back to pdf

    If a client sends me a pdf in which i need to add printer marks or crop slightly, or convert a spot to process or whatever I usually place the pdf file into a new ID CS3 file, make my changes and then export back out to pdf using my pdf preset. My question is, is this a good practice and can the original pdf lose any quality either in contone images or type/lineart after doing so? In my pdf preset I have compression set to none, save to Acrobat 4 (PDF1.3). Thanks.
    -Mark

    Images in PDFs are usually downsampled and compressed as JPEG. JPEG compression destroys image data. If you place a PDF then save as a PDF then you are effectively adding destruction to image data, unless you use Zip or None compression. However, in the case of press quality PDFs that damage is miniscule and likely does no visible harm.
    Have you tried making these changes to the PDF directly using Acrobat Pro? With Acrobat you con convert spot colours to process and add printer marks.

  • Import QTVR Files into Corel Painter 11 and export back out to QTVR?

    I received a QTVR File and imported it successfully to corel painter 11 to paint some changes into the frames and I then wanted to export the frames (512 total) back to the QTVR format. Corl painter 11 allowed me to export files as QT, but I did lose the QTVR movie controller. When I tried to go to movie properties in QT pro Version 7 it does not allow me to change the movie properties back to QTVR movie controller. Anyone have any suggestions? I do need to be able to paint in the frames in a digital paint program and then export back out.

  • Media Offline when Exporting back to FCP from STP. Lesson 10 in APTS book.

    Hello, I am going through the Apple Pro Training Series Book by Martin Sitter found a road block in Lesson 10. The topic is conforming at that seems to work decently (except for garbled text in the right side of the Conform tab). My issue is when trying to export back to FCP. I choose to Send Files to FCP sequence. A new sequence is created in the selected project as expected. The audio is fine, but instead of using the video from the correct sequence, it seems to be trying to use clips from the older sequence. Additionally, all the video clips show up as Media Offline. I can reconnect media, but the problem is that it is the wrong video sequence. Oddly, in STP the video looks perfect. Is there an error in the metadata? can this be fixed or prevented? Thank you

    Barreltone,
    I am exporting back into Final Cut Pro via Send to Sequence. I have been exporting from the browser of FCP (sequence), and not the timeline (clips). I'm going to try that tactic, and see if that works.

  • Exporting back to FCP?

    Hello All,
    I'm putting the final touches on a short documentary. This is my first time trying to do the sound properly by working with STP.
    I have sent my FCP file to STP. I then work on it (in multitrack mode). When finished, I export it to FCP. I place it in the same file location as all my other assets concerning sound. From the tutorials I have taken, I am expecting the new mix to appear on the project as a master mix, with the individual sections that makeup the whole available, but deselected.
    This isn't happening. Nothing happens on the FCP window other than the file appears in the browser. If I click that file, it says, "not available".
    I'm sure I'm doing one important step incorrectly, but have reached the frustrating point of repeating the same wrong this over and over.
    Your help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Exporting from iMovie back to Camcorder

    with iMovie 06 I used to be able to export a movie I made back into my DV camera. Is there an option to do this in iMovie '08? Since I don't have a Blu-Ray burner or player, I would like to send a movie back into my camera so that I can play it in High-Def on my TV.
    Any ideas?

    "The bad news is that in order to get this real time performance without renders or progress bars, there is some sacrifice in quality. For interlaced video such as DV and 1080i HDV, iMovie now uses single-field processing. This means every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage. High definition (HD) footage is processed internally at 960-by-540 pixels at most, and that’s not as high resolution or sharp as it could be (and was in prior versions), but with the output from many HD consumer cameras, the visible difference between Full (1,920-by-1,080) and Large (960-by-540) will likely be slight to negligible for most users. In short, if you want maximum quality output from an HD device, don’t use iMovie ’08."

  • Question for Sue and others - Problems exporting back to Mini DV tape

    Hi there Sue
    This is a very interesting concept that you have mentioned in another of your posts:
    "In the past, many posters reported this type of problem. There is a workaround that I realize should not be necessary, but it has helped many.
    Instead of exporting to the camera, "Share" your iMovie video as a QuickTime Full Quality DV
    Import this QT movie into a NEW iMovie project.
    Then export (share) that to your camcorder.
    It does take time to convert the imovie to QuickTime, but in the end it should work."
    I have a similar problem where that when I want to back up by edited movie back to mini DV tape, there might be the occasional 'dropped frame' or image break up that appears from time to time on my back up tape. This then renders this back up useless for my purpose. Currently I select 'share' and then 'video camera' to perform this action. Sometimes I think that its Imovie's fault that these errors occur and sometimes I blame the video camera - who knows?!! One thing I do notice is that when looking at the video transferring from Imovie to Video tape, any error wont show on the Imovie window, but will show on the video camera flip out screen. I wonder if it means that it is the video camera's fault?
    Do you think that your process might cure this problem?
    Many thanks

    Hi lorddim1,
    In addition to Sue's great advice, another method of exporting to your camera may solve your problem - a method which I always use with success. In iMovie's Preferences (Menu>Preferences), check the box "Play DV project video through to DV camera". Set your camera to the VCR (Play) position and simultaneously click the Play button in iMovie and the Record button on the camera (or camera remote).
    After exporting to tape, it's best to then un-check the Preferences box, as leaving it checked can sometimes mute the audio playback in iMovie in some versions.
    The quality of the export is identical to that using the "Share" feature in iMovie. It may also help to set the iMovie Preference for Playback to "Standard (smoother motion)" and to ensure that, in the Timeline, "Show Clip Volume Levels" and "Show Audio Waveforms" are not activated (go to the View menu for these or Control-Click on the audio track/s). The less iMovie has to worry about, often the smoother the playback. Please note that the Playback preference has no effect on the quality of the export - it's only a setting for playback on the monitor.
    Hope this helps!

  • Optimal settings for export from 1080p camcorder - Canon HF100

    I just bought an HF100 camcorder. When I make projects with iMovie what are best export settings for 1080p projects? What about for 480p for a DVD. I tried to export 1080p video and it looks grainy. I'm not sure if this is the fault of the camera or iMovie?
    Also, when I play clips inside imovie the playback is choppy. Is there anyway to fix this?

    I'm using a HF10, and I don't think iMovie '08 properly detects that 1080p recordings from these camcorders are progressive scan, but rather treats then like 1080i clips. I find I get better results by recording in the default 1080i if there's sideways motion in the video. That doesn't really surprise me - according to the AVCHD consortium website, there's no such thing as 1080p in AVCHD (see http://www.avchd-info.org/format/index.html).
    DVDs are always interlaced anyway, so for best results you want to start with 1080i and not 1080p. I export at 960x540i, using the Quicktime export option selecting "High" quality mode. The default "Large" sharing option in iMovie uses a bitrate that I find too low for getting the best quality.
    When you export at 1080p, what is your bitrate set to? That makes a lot of difference.
    Finally, 1080p playback is very hard work for your computer. Try quitting other applications before playing back your video to get a smooth experience. Or export at 540p.

  • Backing up photos to external hard drive,and exporting back to CF card on camera

    iPhoto 5 on Mac Power PC G4, OS 10.4.11
    backing up photos to external hard drive (LaCie) My iPhoto Library contains a number of files (such as 'Library.iPhoto' 'iPhoto.db' 'ThumbJPG.data' etc) and a number of folders with dates such as 2005 etc, containing folders within folders, none of which with any contents.
         Is there a way I can organise just the photos on their own so that I can select just those to be backed up on my LaCie hard drive, without all those distracting and (apparently) unnecessary extra files and folders ?
    exporting edited photos back to CF card on camera I have tried everything I can think of to export photos from iPhoto back to the CF card on the camera, without success. It must be possible to do ?

    Edit: Note: It's been a while but the Export command may be in the Share menu on older versions...
    1. To back up an iPhoto Library
    Most Simple Back Up
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex:
    Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
    2. To Back up Just the Photos
    Use the File -> Export command to export the images to where you want them.
    BTW: there are no user-serviceable parts in the iPhoto Library Folder. Rooting around in there can cause damage.
    3. Edited Photos to CF Card is a two part process:
    Exporting is just File -> Export. Choosing any setting except 'Original' and you'll get the Edited version.
    The CF Card? Just drag and drop there.
    But a couple of possible problems: Canon Cameras don't show up in the Finder. So you'll need to stick the card into a USB Card Reader for get them on there
    Camera Cards are all formatted FAT. That means there's a limit to the number of items on the top level of the card: Workaround: Export the shots to a folder and drag that over
    And, of course, if you want to see the shots in the camera, you'll need to put them in whatever specific folder it uses for the photos.
