Fix for the hanging/exporting from Imovie back to camera tape??

I've been trying to export my Imovie back to Hi 8 tape on my Sony trv480 camcorder and it hangs on both my Imac and my Ibook. I have plenty of memory and have tried all the suggestions that people have made here on the website and nothing works. I hope there is some help out there somewhere because it seems like plenty of other people have had the same problem.

Hi Mary Ellen
There are miniDV Cameras pref bought in Europe that has the recording
facility (from analog-in or FW-in) disabled because of tax issue.
If so then You can't record back to Camera until You let a Service shop
turn recording on - at a rather pricey cost.
I don't think thay made something this stupid in USA.

  • Exporting from iMovie back to camera

    Still have iMovie 6.0.3 and for the first time, when exporting back to the camera, I get the sound but not the video. So, what have I failed to do. Having made about 80 movies, all of a sudden some new problems that I should be able to solve. And I have not tried iMovie 11 yet.

    You should not need to convert to QuickTime.
    I do not use the Share/Export to iDVD function within iMovie - it forces iMovie to render (not good)
    I do -
    • close iMovie
    • open iDVD
    • either find the movie project icon (with a Star on it) and just drag and drop it into
    iDVD project/menu window. OR Rather from within iDVD IMPORT the iMovie project
    (still same with a Star)
    This put's it in place - drag and drop can land it in a button area - will not work.
    NOW - iDVD will render it and so much better.

    But say i have an imovie project with content up to 1 hour 57 minutes total> dont I have to go to idvd if i am going to change aspect ration to 4:3 and choose rendering quality?
    When you just drop it into the idvd menu are you asked which template to use?,
    and how does it actually render it better?
    Many of my movies are a mix of HD and SD due to timeline type of movies spanning years, so up to 2 hours of imovie content, and i do 4:3 ratio because of people that watch dont have 16:9 T.V's, and then i select say best quality or performance so that i know it can fit on one SD disc?
    The way you describe are you asked the same questions inside iDVD?
    and if so or not, how does the video actually get rendered " better" in iDVD?
    OH ALSO WHAT ARE SOME OF THE REASONS to export imovie project back to camcorder?
    i have never tried this, and would like to know some of the reasons? thanks again again
    thanks so much, very interested in upping my movie quality

  • How to export from iMovie back to my Sony camera ?

    HI,
    If anyone can help me I would be very lucky...
    I just bought a Sony HDR-HC9 Full HD 1080 mini DV camera.
    I have transfer (firewire) my records into my iMac via iMovie...and have cut some peaces to reduce the recorded time...etc...
    *Now I would like to transfer/export back from iMovie into the camera on the mini DV support.*
    Can anyone tell me how to proceed...? Or is it just unpossible or shall I buy another software ?
    Thanks in advance to all...
    Kind regards.

    Not possible in iMovie 08. This also from a very reliable source:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1507442&tstart=30
    You can do this though with iMovie HD6 and with a cam such as yours, you will most likely get better video quality in your end product and also have a better editing suite to work with, if you use HD6 instead of 08. iMovie HD6 was made to give the best results from High Def miniDV cams like yours. iMovie 08 uses single field processing of the video, which basically tosses out half of the video info in a frame.
    You can get a free download of iMovie HD6 at the Apple downloads site, if you don't already have it.

  • 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."

  • Exporting from iMovie to my camera= crash??

    Hi,
    I've got an iBook G4. Since i've upgrated it from 10.3.9 to 10.4.8, and bought iLife and upgrated everything, each time i try to export my video from iMovie to my Sony camera mini DV, the application quitt.it never happened before. And even when i just edit with iMovie, it crashes more often than before. What happens?

    thank you for the advice...
    I found something very interesting, because apparently this problem exists with iMovie 3 and 4: when Final Cut Pro is installed, iMovie doesn't reconize the camera anymore when trying to export the video on a camera.... For me , Final Cut was arleady installed since a few months, but indeed, i've started to use it recently and it could be since that time that i have this problem...
    The article says that the problem doesn't occure anymore with iMovie 5 and more.... Apparently not...
    The only thing is, the solution they give to avoid the problem still doesn't work for me.... So, if someone has another suggestion??

  • How can I get a higher quality export from Imovie - QT & iDVD came out bad

    The playback on my imovie came out corrupted but it transferred ok to Quick Time and I also burned a DVD but the quality is not very good. Any suggestions on how to get a better version. Please keep in mind that the imovie file is huge - 29Gig and the QT file compressed it down to 350Megs. The whole movie is running around 43 minutes. Any suggesstions are appreciated.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    sorry, dogma, but you compressed your project by a
    factor of 1:100, and complain quality... ? did you
    use a preset of iM, or did you select any "Expert
    Options"?
    and hopefully, you didn't try to use that crunched
    file for usage in iDVD??
    store/save you project in your Movies Folder, launch
    iDVD, select from the media bin your project - done.
    last questions: is your project set as "mpeg4" or
    "dv/NTSC"; did you import from miniDV (what iM is
    made for...) or did you use any.. other formats?
    happy holidays
    Hi - Yep I did use the crunched version for the dvd and have tossed it. I am now transferring a new version from imovie to QT under the pre set of high quality. Since this is the first time I have done a movie I am not sure what settings I would use under expert options - suggestions? I would love to tranfer the imovie right to idvd but at the moment I only have 8G left on my Mac so this would likely be a problem. The movie was exported from a mini DV.

  • Export or Share back to camera

    Just wondering if iMovie 09 brings back the "export to camera" feature that was taken away in iMovie 08.

    Are you saying that while importing, iMovie 09 changes the DV codec and FCE/FCP does not?
    The consensus seems to be that iMovie '08 used single-field processing for editing manipulations. For many, this was unacceptable. Still waiting for test results to come in regarding iMovie '09. (I have not had a chance to run any new tests as iWeb forced me to re-publish all of my web sites and while the first four went okay, I have 25 GBs of multimedia on just the one that has been re-publishing since 19:30 last night.) In any case, iMovie HD, FCE, and FCP all use both fields for sure when editing.
    I don't think it's unreasonable to think that a project should be able to be exported from iMovie back to the same type of device it originally came from. I'm not an engineer, but why not!
    And I assume most people would also consider it reasonable too -- i.e., "if you can do it for one, why can't you do it for everybody?" For one thing, you would need encoders for each variant of each codec used by each of the manufacturers which may or may not vary by camcorder model, as well as, keeping up with changes and virtually all of them not supported by the QT structure. Would you care to take on this responsibility? (Take a look at the QT forum complaints following release of QT 7.6 -- and this is Apple's own multimedia software.)

  • When I try to export from iMovie '11 I get repeated messages that the project is too big. Why? Is there a workaround? (I have already cut a 40-minute movie into three chunks...)

    When I try to export from iMovie '11 I get repeated messages that the project is too big. Why? Is there a workaround? (I have already cut a 40-minute movie into three chunks... the first exported to iDVD ok, but the next one of 15 minutes balked for the same reason -- too long...)

    I wish I had a mac :-P 
    Sadly, this is Windows machine so I dont have a non-iOS version of iMovie.  I have 2 ideas left.  The first is xfering the project to my iPhone 4 and trying to export it there (if that works, awesome but geez apple the iPad 2 is way more powerful than the iphone 4.. youd think I wouldnt even have to attempt this).  The 2nd idea is to start at the end of my movie and delete clips and sounds backwards, trying to export each time to find whatever clip is causing the issue (when the movie was 5 minutes it mixed no probem, so I only need to go that far).
    Wish me luck? 
    Also, is anyone else besides me and the 5 dudes in the other threads having this issue??  Speak up, guys - Apple cant a fix a problem they dont know about.

  • Best practice for exporting from iMovie '08 to iDVD

    I am looking to find out what is the best practice for exporting from iMovie '08 to iDVD. I have read the other postings that give the basic howto (export to Media Browser then select the video in iDVD). However, my question is a little more technical. I have 1080i HD projects. I am interested in burning them to DVD in the best possible quality. What setting should I be using when I publish to Media Browser?
    I am wondering about quality loss due to more than one conversion/compression. I suspect that when I export to the Media Browser then this is occurring. If I am not mistaken iMovie is using something like H.264 for this. Then, when I run iDVD I suspect it will it do another conversion/compression, I think to get to MPEG2. Not only could this result in a loss of quality but also it will take extra time. I am interested to know what others think about this.
    Finally, I am looking to create DVDs for a lot of video. I am wondering if there are any USB or firewire hardware devices out there that could speed up the compression. I use the Elgato Turbo.264 when I want to encode to H.264 but I wonder if there is something similar for DVD creation.
    Thanks in advance.

    the standards for videoDVD are 720x480, and usually mpeg2 encoded..
    so, your HiDef project HAS to be 'downsampled' somehow..
    I would Export with Qucktime/apple intermediate => which is the 'format' your project is allready, and you avoid any useless 'inbetween encoding'..
    iDVD will 'swallow' this huge export file - don't mind: iDVD cares for length, not size.
    iDVD will then convert into DVD-standards..
    you can 'raise' quality, by using projects <60min - this sets iDVD automatically to highest technical possible bitrate
    hint: judge pic quality on a DVDplayer + TV.. not on your computer (DVDs are meant for TVdelivery)

  • Best method for exporting from iMovie?

    I have been having a lot problems with exporting from iMovie. I have a 30 minute movie that I want to compress to a file around 400~500mbs. I found the best results with Divx and .Avi files. Unfortunately, after I installed Tiger, I noticed that the audio was faster than the video, like " old kung-fu movies ".
    I read in other forums that there are many problems with Divx compatibilty with Tiger. Whie waiting for a new version of Divx, can anyone give me some advice on the best way to export a movie from iMovie( good audio and video quality) thanks in advance!!

  • When exporting from Imovie I get the following error? OSStatus error -2009

    when exporting from Imovie I get the following error? OSStatus error -2009

    Hi
    Apple Support pages says.
    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.

  • Exporting from iMovie for additional editing?

    I have an iMovie sequence that took a long time to edit, but I need to export the footage to another editing app (GoPro Studio). I invested a LOT of time creating the iMovie, but need to merge much of it with other GoPro footage. GoPro studio has a few features that can adjust for GoPRo wide angle lens etc that iMovie can't do.
    I am concerned that once the footage has been rendered/exported FROM iMovie then rendered again in GoPro studio for final, that I will have an extra generation of interpolation that will further degrade the image quality. Is there a LOSSLESS export option form iMovie? (I'm using the most recent version)
    I'm obviously not a pro video editor, but I am a pro photo retoucher, and would never create a second copy of a file using JPG format. I'm assuming that video rendering (exporting) also INTERPOLATES the pixels, resulting in a noticeable image degradation.
    So is there a "LOSSLESS" export option? Or a format that is virtually indistinguishable form the original? I hope I'm being clear enough on this.
    thanks!

    Do you have a MobileMe account? If so an alternative is to publish directly from iMovie to a MMe gallery. You can include several sizes of the same movie in the gallery to accommodate visitors with different connection speeds. This demo page has an example: Adding a MMe Gallery from iMovie 09.
    Or, there are a couple of ways of embedding a QT movie into a web page that does not require the movie to load with the page, only when the play button is selected. See these demo pages: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window and QT Movies via Export for Web in QT Player.
    This demo page has seven examples of the first method: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes

  • Looking for a sample of the Flash Export from Encore CS3

    I am close to upgrading to the CS3 Production Premium and one of the features that intrigues me is the Flash export from Encore CS3. I have searched the Adobe site without success for a sample of what an exported project looks like and functions on the web. Can anyone point me to a on-line sample of an exported project? Thanks in advance :)

    'Black Gaps' in Flash usually come from the Flash trying to locate & load the next Flash file. Without a Pre-Loader, you will probably always have this... especially if your quality is set too high. This equates to longer load/buffer times which means there is nothing to display until there is enough video loaded in the buffer to play.
    If your ultimate goal is to create Video for the Web... you'll need to learn proper techniques for producing video for the web. It is much different than producing video for TV or DVD. On the web you have to compress your video a lot more therefore you should not use a lot of Motion/Movement in your Characters, Camera, Media, Motion Backgrounds, etc. The less Motion/Movement you have means you can lower your quality settings but still get awesome looking video & good load times eliminating the Black Gaps and making an all around smoother internet presentation/experience.
