Fps adjustment in new iMovie?

I cannot find any information about the fps. Not at the movie import or at the finished project movie. Which fps will be choosen, if I cut some movies together with different fps? Or if I recorded in 50fps...is the exported project in 50fps too?

iMovie is a consumer toy tool.
the consumer apps are under rule#1 simplicity.
Who knows/cares about frame-rates...?
Read the many requests, people ask for a 60fps timeline, in hope to create slowmo. Read the requests how to handle mixed frame-rates. Read the requests what frame-rate an iPhone has. Read the many requests for a 24fps timeline, in hope to create this way a 'film-look' ..
all nonsense.
iMovie is a 'drag'n drop'-dead simple editor for the basic needs.
for advanced editing, have a look at FCPX (free 30d trial avail)...

No "adjust" button in new iMovie 10.0.6 update

I just updated to the new iMovie 10.0.6 and I used to use the older '11 version with audio effects. Now there is no audio effects options anywhere. I looked up help files and I see everyone has the "adjust" button in the toolbar except me. Ive clicked the video file, audio file and no "adjust" button shows up in the tool bar.

I am in the exact same boat (had issue with 10.0.1, and upgrade to 10.0.2 made no difference). I also receive the same error message (which I saw before and after the upgrade to 10.0.2):
1/26/2014 10:25:36.359 AM iMovie[873]: -[CKiOSSetting initWithContentsOfURL:]: init failed with url "file:///Applications/iMovie.app/Contents/PlugIns/Compressor/CompressorKit.bund le/Contents/Frameworks/Compressor.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CompressorKit. framework/Resources/Settings/EFB_iOS.plist".
If relevant, I also see the following messages repeated often after the above message:
1/26/2014 10:25:41.336 AM iMovie[873]: AVF error: Perf capability check failed: 0xe00002be
1/26/2014 10:25:41.336 AM iMovie[873]: AVF error: Branch_QT0::pushBits, Context Creation Failed.
Also confirmed that the existance of the plist file and it looks exactly the same
This is extremely frustrating, especially after the release of the fix by Apple (with a fix for this issue specifically mentioned in the change log). For the record, I have also removed iMovie multiple times and re-installed (requiring a 2GB download from the App Store each time).
Since Sharing is a critical feature, it makes iMovie rather useless without it working. Open to any suggestions...

Where is audio fade in new iMovie 10.0.1?

Just got my new iMac loaded with the new iMovie and am feeling my way through it (wish they had better tutorials). One thing i am unable to find is the manual audio fade in and fade out controls that were obvious with iMovie '09. I really hope they didn't do away with those for some reason--it's a key tool for managing audio in video clips and music. Thanks for any info.

I have a movie made up of 10 discrete clips right now. I was able to find a tiny dot to adjust the fade in on only two of the clips. No dots at the end of any of the clips to drag to make an audio fade out. I blew up the size of the clips as big as possible and hovered over the audio portion of each one, but no sign of a tiny dot any place except those two clips. (All the clips are from the same speech so I don't think it's the source.) Any ideas about finding those fade in/fade out dots? (Have to say the old way was easier--less squinting.) Thanks.

How to move rejected clips ONLY to trash in the new iMovie?

In the old iMovie, there was a 'Move rejected clips' function that I cannot find in the new iMovie. When I select it to where it only shows rejected clips before selecting 'Move to trash', ALL the clips, including the ones marked as 'favorites' end up being deleted. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you!

If you click the Adjust button and then choose the Cropping tool you can adjust the framing to create a pillar box. That way rather than having your shot blown up to fit the 16:9 frame is will be shown at it's actual size with black bars on the left and right.

Cutaways in new iMovie 10.0.1 for OSX 10.9

How do I make a cutaway in the new iMovie that comes with OSX 10.9? I have three separate clips I want to toggle between. I have one on top of the other like is suggested in "old" iMovie tutorials, but I can't find a way to add on a third, nor can I find a way to keep toggling which is the dominant clip.
Another problems I'm having is that one of the clips was shot on an iPhone, and it has different dimensions than the other clips. When it is selected as the cutaway clip, it's just showing up on top of the clip underneath instead of showing on its own.
Finally, I am trying to get the audio (a band playing) to synch up on all clips. Then I'll mute two of the three. How do I move clips tiny fractions? It seems that the clips are always a smidge ahead of or behind where they're supposed to be.

Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it?

Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it? I thought that if I bought it the apps on my macbook, they would be avaliable on my imac like the mobile devices operate. The macbook has 10.6.8 cause its a older model and I think lion would slow it down. Any help??

Just redownload it on the other computer by logging into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase it.

Problem importing video from a DV camera into the new imovie 10.0? I have a Sony DCR TRV17 connected via Firewire port that worked in 9.0.9 but not under 10.0...

I have a Sony DCR TRV17 that I used to pass through VCR tape video via Firewire port to my Mac Pro under Imovie 9.0.9 without an issue. Now under Imovie 10.0 the video shows in the import window, I can start recording yet when I stop recording the recorded clips do not show up anywhere. The movie file I'm creating still indicates that I still need to import video. Anyone having similar problems?

Hey Dave,
I had this issue only once before but was lucky enought to find it was a specific event causing the import to freeze. It took me some time to isolate the problem though. I would recommend letting it sit there for some time before you try any troubleshooting. Larger libraries can take long periods of time to update.
This is a good thread for this issue. I would first try removing the iMovie.plist as elikness mentions.
1. Open Finder
2. Click on "Go" in the menu bar.
3. Click on Go To Folder on the dropdown menu.
4. Type "~/Library/Preferences/" in the text field and click Go.
5. Find the com.apple.iMovie(some number).plist file and move it to Trash.
Quit and relaunch iMovie to see if this took care of the issue before attempting the next step. If you're still having an issue then you can try what I needed to do which is isolating the problem event.
1. Open Finder.
2. Go to the Movies folder. You should see iMovie Events here.
If you have a larger event library I'd recommend renaming the iMovie Events folder to say, "iMovie Events COPY". Then create a new empty folder named “iMovie Events”. When you launch iMovie 9.0.9 all events will be missing at this point. Quit iMovie if it is open. Then you can either drag each event from iMovie Events COPY to iMovie Events or you can select and drag several at a time. Each time you drag an event folder back into the new iMovie Events folder launch iMovie 9.0.9 to see if you are having the same issue. Wash and repeat until either you have found the problem event or you have imported all events.
If you find the problem event you can reimport the clip from iMovie 9.0.9 by going to File > Import > Movies and navigating to that events iMovie Original Movies folder to find the clip.
Hope this helps!

HT2203 How do I export a file from the new iMovie 10.0.2 to iPod size?

How do I export a file from the new iMovie 10.0.2 to iPod size? I used to be able to do this and it would save as a m4v file but I can no longer do this and the files are too big.

Hi - just using the new iMovie for the first time - apparently there should be a sidebar containing tools like "Content Library". Not on mine - even in Window view, Content Library features like text etc are all greyed out - obviously it's me - help?

Hey baseballgod44,
Great question! The following article outlines how to record video with the FaceTime HD Camera in iMovie (2013):

Record live video directly into iMovie
1. Do one of the following:
          - To record using the built-in camera: Click the Import button in the toolbar.
          - To record using an external iSight camera: Connect the iSight camera to your computer with a FireWire cable, and click the Import button in the toolbar.
2. In the Cameras section of the Import window sidebar, select the camera you want to import from.
A live video image from the camera appears in the Import window.
3. Do one of the following:
          - To choose an existing event to contain the video: Choose the event from the “Import to” pop-up menu at the top of the Import window.
          - To create a new event to contain the video: Choose New Event from the “Import to” pop-up menu, type a name for the new event, and press Return.

How do you compile movie on new iMovie app?

I have been a user of the prior iMovie software. I now have the newest version and am puzzled since when compiling a new video I cannot figure how to save it into a file which I can burn to a disk which will play on my standard blu-ray player. When I complete a video in the new iMovie and click on "Share" and select "file" is saves a file in my computer but the file will not play on the DVD. How do you go from the compiled video in iMovie and get a burnable file which will play on the DVD? (If I click on this file to open it, it will not open.) Is there some other software which is necessary? Thank you for any suggestions? I did download "Quicktime Player 7 Pro" into my utility folder, but I can't see how this helps.

How to turn off ken burns effect in new imovie

The new iMovie---11-- how in the heck do I turn off the Ken Burns effect? Nothing against Mr Burns but.... I don't want everything to move!
Thanks!

Go to File/Project Properties and you can define the default behavior for adding stills to your project.
After clicking File/Project Properties, you will click on the Timing Tab. There you will see how to set the default still photo duration and the initial photo placement.
You an set it as Ken Burns, Fit, or Crop. You can always change it later in the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns tools, but if you are importing a lot, it makes sense to set the default as the one you are most likely to need.

New iMovie - A few questions (fav/reject, timeline)

Have some questions on the new iMovie v 10:
1. Is the "new" clip wrapping "vertical" timeline view gone? I actually liked this as opposed the the traditional horizontal timeline. Now all I see is the traditional horizontal timeline.
2. The Favorite and Reject buttons appear to be gone. I have to right-click and then select "favorite" or "reject" . This has gone from one click to two...And I don't feel that I have gained this space in the UI. Can I get fav and reject buttons back?

1- View>Wrapping Timeline
2- Fav/Reject specific buttons are gone but can be accessed with a control click. Which will also show you the Keyboard Shortcuts for those options.

Where are old iMovie files that were in "Movie" favorites before I got new iMovie and Mavericks?

Just installed Mavericks and bought the new iMovie. Looked for labled finished movies folders that I had kept in Movies on my HD favorites on OS 10.6.7, but that Fave doesnt exist in Mavs. Where can I find the labeled folders with all their working files? Some unlabeled files do exist individually in All My Favorites but seem of little help without labels.

I meant "All My Files"

I asked this question before but I can't find it now. Anyway, I'm trying to import a DVD video that was made on a MAC and use it on a new iMovie project.

I asked this question before but I can't find it now. Anyway, I'm trying to import a DVD video that was made on a MAC and use it on a new iMovie project.
How do I do the importing.

If the video is already on a DVD:
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.
