Exporting selected clips  to MiniDVD

I am unable to export "Selected Clips" from iMovie6 to my MiniDVCamera(CanonZR60). I was able to do so in earlier version of iMovie.
The "Selected Clips" box is dimmed when I select "export to Video" (but not so when Quicktime or iDVD selected).
I can export an entire movie successfully.
I do have Final Cut Express installed but it has not been used on the movie project in question.
Any ideas? Thanks

What do you mean by "passthrough to the camcorder mode".
In iMovie preferences there is a setting that puts iMovie to passthrough to camcorder mode.
Passtrough mode means that when you play the video in iMovie, it also appears, through FireWire to an attached camcorder.
I do all my edits in this mode because a camcorder LCD (and an optional TV attached to the camcorder's analog-out) enables me to see the correct overscan, interlacing and gamma, something a computer monitor can't show correctly.
To export a desired range in the movie, do as follows:
- Optionally insert about 10 seconds of black clips to the beginning and end of the desire range (not necessary but this makes the export tidier). (You can prepare the black clips in iMovie by dragging a clip in timeline mode, double-click the created clip to modify its length or color).
- Put iMovie to passthrough to camcorder mode. Attach a camcorder via FireWire to the Mac and put the camcorder to VTR mode. Now the iMovie video should appear on the camcorder LCD.
- To export to the camcorder, put iMovie to playback. Then put the camcorder to VTR Rec mode: you have to do this manually via the camcorder's buttons or via its remote.

  • Exporting "Selected Clips" and iDVD Chapter Markers from iMovie

    I've tried exporting "selected clips" from iMovie . The iDVD Chapter Markers do not appear as a menu option on the initial iDVD menu screen when "selected clips" is checked in the iMovie Share option. The chapter markers are limited to the clips I'm exporting. The "Share" dialog box seems to indicate that Chapter Markers should export but they don't. // I'm trying to break up a movie that's too long for a DVD (but I will later share to video from iMovie). I'd prefer not to make two iMovie projects out of this. Thanks!

    Hello, John,
    Welcome to the discussions.
    You can either do your 'share to video from iMovie' before or after creating your iDVDs. But, you will need to create a second iMovie if yours is too long for one DVD and you are wanting to make 2 DVDs from the one long movie.
    To make the second one before sharing the entire movie:
    Select the clips you want in the second movie, then go to 'Edit' and 'Copy'.
    Then, select 'New' iMovie. When it opens, give it a name like "Part2" and then 'Paste' your selected clips. Save the movie, then go back to the first one. Delete the clips you just copied.
    Close iMovie. Open your DVD project. Find the 'Media' tab, go to 'Movies' and drag and drop your first movie into iDVD. Finish the iDVD project. Save and close.
    Then, create the second iDVD project for your second movie in the same way.
    Do 'save as disk image' for each iDVD project. That way your project is intact for each one, and you will not lose anything when you change the iMovies. You can burn your DVDs from the disk images.
    Now, go back to your second iMovie. Select the clips and copy. Close that movie and open the first one. Paste the second set of clips. Now you have your original movie back and can do your share to video from it. Delete the second movie.

  • Surely Apple didn't remove the ability to export selected clips????

    So I've got a project I've been working on, and at this point I only want to export a specific section on it. From what I can tell, I can no longer export that specific footage. Is this really the case, and what the heck am I supposed to do? I tried to copy to another project, but my title sequence didn't come with it.
    Surely Apple didn't remove this funcionality?

    You could also select the part you want, do a COPY, then open a new project, PASTE, then export.
    I didn't use iMovie 5 through '06, but as I recall in v4, you never had the ability to export a selection of a project, just clips. So if the part you wanted only was part of clips (and not the whole clip(s)) then you had to COPY then paste to make it a new whole clip before you could export it.

  • How can you export a clip selection from FCPX to motion? Round tripping?

    How do you export a clip selection out of FCP into Motion? In Motion, you have the option of exporting a selection out of motion? I don't understand why FCPX does not have this functionality. I do not want to export an effect or  transition. FCPX is good, but it looks like the application team have no clue about workflows. Especially integration between FCP and Motion.

    Not sure if you are asking a question or having a rant .. also not sure what your point is about it being 2013 ? Roundtripping is not in these apps .. sold for very little (relative to FCS which did roundtripping) and most of the functionality used daily from Motion is now in FCPX in one way or another. Perhaps it would be a 'handy' but to highlight this as some BIG deal is a tad missing the point ... .
    What exactly is it you cannot do in FCPX and need to send to Motion to work on ?
    These may help you with the basics of new compound clips ...

  • Why can't I export only a selected clip?

    I am a teacher. I used to record all the kids in a class doing a certain task, and then select the clip of each child and export each child as a separate QuickTime movie. We upgraded machines and now for the life of me I cannot figure out how to export only a selected clip in iMovie '08. Any help appreciated!

    Make a separate Project for each child.
    Drag the clip of that child into the project. Then Share to whatever format you choose.

  • Exporting multiple clips at one time

    Hi, My school has asked me to convert old videos onto DVD media for archiving and for distribution amongst all teachers in my department. Yes I am sure some will mention legal stuff here but the videos are no long made and what we have is being held together with cellophane tape or cracking laserdisc videos (remember those?).
    So far I have been able to import all the videos into iMovie. Each clip is about 1 minute or less in duration. I am now exporting one clip at a time into the requested WMV format but I can only export 1 clip at a time and I have several hundred to to. Is there a way to select multiple clips and export them one at a time without me having to select and export on clip at a time?
    thanks in advance now back to exporting....

    Never mind I am doing it one clip at a time. The school seems really happy about this since these video discs are no longer available for repurchase. Thanks.

  • Cannot export video clips.  Get message: "unable to create video for export"

    Cannot export video clips from iPhoto to Finder folder.  Export fails with message "unable to create video for export: "
    The video clips play correctly within iPhoto. 
    Software: iPhoto version 9.5 on OSX 10.9
    Hardware: Retina Macbook Pro 2.3 i7 8GB

    Yes.  I have 3,184 video clips in this library.  I tested Reveal function by randomly selecting individual video clips and in every case the Reveal in Finder function worked correctly.  I also tested this on random selections of groups of video clips and, again, the Reveal function worked correctly in every case. 
    Some more info that may be relevant:
    I have multiple iPhoto libraries.  My "main" library is very large (~30,000 files) and is located on an external hard drive (2TB WD) which is connected via USB.
    The problem reported here is occuring on that "main" library.  I have not opened any other iPhoto library since installing the new release. 
    While the File>Export function does not work, I have been able to simply copy and paste video clips from iPhoto library to a folder on Mac hard drive.  It appears that meta data is copying correctly along with the video content. 
    I am able to import these copied video clips to iMovie.  Meta data is imported along with the video content and I'm able to perform iMovie editing functions on those clips without any problems.
    In summary, the File>Export function still fails with the message "unable to create video for export."  Copying video clips and pasting them to interim folder seems to be a viable workaround enabling me to extract video clips from iPhoto for import to iMovie.  I will run additional tests to see if I can find a pattern to the video files that are being rejected by iPhoto Export function.

  • Share selected clips only button not enabled for videocamera

    iMovie HD 06. I have 3 adjacent, no transitions clips from one iMovie that I am trying to "share" back to the video camera (I had manipulated/extracted and added audio effects to these 3 clips, which don't cut and paste from existing iMovie to a new project) plan was to share to tape, then reimport from tape back to a different iMovie (to at least get the audio back). Unfortunately the "share selected clips only" button is never enabled. Really don't want to share entire movie. Any ideas?

    Well that would make too much sense! iLife 05 Quicktime did not maintain widescreen so I was not keen on trying, but (as you probably knew) iLife '06 quicktime is a nicer beast. Actually went into Apple Store and turned out that,more or less, a combination of forum suggestions........WORKED! So to others that have not been able to cut and paste clips that have had audio extracted, etc.with iLife '06: put playhead a bit before your targeted consecutive clips, click and drag from below the audio tracks upwards and to the end of the target. File, Export, Quicktime, Full Quality, Share. Pick your location to share to. And there you go. Then open a new/existing project, Import (find your desired clips), Open. Your clips with audio, special effects all import without a hitch.
    Have you tried it?

  • Export to Clip Notes

    Hi
    When I try to export to clip notes After Effects freezes and trying to select anything gives me the 'ping' noise.  The only way out of this is then to close the program down from the windows task list.
    Anything?????
    thanks

    I never used Clip Notes myself, but I did a quick search, and came up with the following:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?term=clip+notes&siteSection=home&loc=en_us
    There are no Clip Notes references in this list beyond AE9 (aka CS4).  I suspect that the application was not retained in later versions.  If you have any intentions of upgrading software beyond AE 9, I don't think I'd get in the habit of relying on Clip Notes.
    If I'm wrong about this, an Adobe employee will most certainly set me straight.

  • Share selected clips will not function correctly

    I have a very large iMovie with a lot of clips, each of which contains several chapter stops. If I share only selected clips to iDVD, the chapter stops are scrambled and don't correspond to where they should do. Why is this?

    I'll venture a deduction. Since chapter markers (and other edits) are stored as reference points in a master document, if the underlying sequence is disturbed there may be unexpected consequences. For example, if you had a chapter marker at the one minute mark of a movie and then removed 30 seconds clip, then the one minute chapter marker may wind up at the old 1:30 mark.
    If you have Quicktime Pro, you could Share/Export the iMovie as a Full-Quality Quicktime file, then all the chapter markers will export in the correct location, and you can use Quicktime Pro to cut out sections as desired. I'm guessing the chapter markers will still be okay because they've been added to the timeline in the Export process.

  • Share selected clip?

    iMovie 6 had a 'share selected clip' option if you just wanted to export a small(er) portion of your project. I can't seem to find this in iMovie 09. Can it be done?
    The reason i want to do this is because i'm making a DVD, so in iDVD i want to access small portions of my 1 hour movie to include within the drop zones. I don't want to share the whole movie to the media browser just to be able to access very small portions of it.
    Any help appreciated.
    Grant.

    I've been having a good look, as I thought it would speed up some of the jobs I do using it, but sadly, I couldn't find a way to do that. Maybe it is possible but someone with a bigger brain than I might be able to tells us.
    In the meantime, you can just make a new project and select the part of the clip you want (pressing 'e' sends the selection straight to the timeline and share form there - hideously tedious when you do it several times, especially when you just delete the last clip you used from the timeline and it tells you you're updating a shared project.... every time zzzz there must be a way to turn that annoying feature off surely

  • Exporting separate clips?

    hi, i just read every discussion on exporting and can't understand how to export the whole movie in separate clips like it was captured, instead of one large file.
    is it really impossible? i don't have a camera and i need to send the footage to a windows based editor via an ipod, what can i do? manually exporting each clip is not an option, because there are 80+ of them.
    thanks

    thank you, Karl. i really wish apple would add such
    an option. splitting from a large file would lose the
    individual scenes, which all have different length.
    fat32 compatibility is another woe...
    If I wasn't clear, my suggestion was to split the long video into scenes on the PC. Not great fun, but probably easier than any other method.
    If you keep the (chunks of exported) video smaller than 2GB, my guess is compatibility shouldn't be a problem. No experience, though. Keep each export shorter than 19 minutes to avoid the Fat32 limit. (Use the "Share selected clips" checkbox to break the export into smaller chunks.)

  • Batch Exports of clips as separate files

    I've seen a lot of complaints about the "inability" of Premiere Pro to batch-export clips under their own names. There's a current thread over on the SpeedGrade forum concerning this, from someone wanting to do dailie's but exported not as a timeline but specific separate clips with their original clip names. This is a mistaken impression.
    PrPro CAN batch export clips, but not a timeline into separate clips. That's the hangup, we've all tended to look at the timeline export box.
    1) In the Project Panel, click once on any clip you want to batch-export, using the "standard" selection clicking process ... hold "shift" while clicking a second clip will select the original, that clip, and everything in between; clicking on a clip, then holding ctrl/cmd and clicking on additional clips will add just the clips you click on.
    2) Right-click on any of the selected clips, and at the bottom of the dialog box, select "Export Media".
    This takes you to PrPro's standard export box, where you can do things like (under the Effects tab) apply a "look" or a LUT of your choice to the batch (handy to standardize the look of a project) before adding to the Queue, which then takes you to Media Encoder for your export operation.
    Slick enough, actually. Not quite as easy as say choosing simply a sequence, BUT ... at least, doable. Might be easier on long projects to put clips on each sequence say into a bin for that sequence. Cleaner, also.

  • 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.

  • Share selected clips only

    I have a completed 2 hour iMovie project that I want to archive (Share) back to 1 hour tapes. In the share window "Share selected clips only" is grayed out and I cannot select this option. I have tried in both the timeline and clip modes - still grayed.

    It works only when exporting to a file.
    iMovie HD 5.0.2's share selected clips to camera doesn't stop exporting at the end of the selection:
    http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/iMovieHD_5_bugs.html#shareselected
    ...so that feature was fixed by disabling it...
    ...and some issues still remain because iMovie HD 6.0.2's File/Export/iDVD's "Share selected clips only" option puts chapters to the wrong places:
