Getting iMovie 9.0.9 events that are AVI files into iMovie 10

I have a TB of iMovie 9.0.9 events that are AVI files.  What is the best way to get those files into iMovie 10 which does not accept AVI.  Should I just import all the dv tapes again?  Thanks for any help.

Since projects are separate from events in iMovie 9 but contained within events in iMovie 10, when they are updated iMovie 10 does not know in which events to put projects so they tend to be grouped together in a special event called "Updated Projects" (as far as i remember).   This is normal.  They can however be moved into appropriate events afterwards.
I'm not clear what the answer is to: "Have all the events that contain media required by these problem projects transferred to iMovie 10?"
"The trouble with working in iMovie 10 is that my work would not be available in iMove 9 if I decide to switch back!"   This is true but you won't know unless you try it out.  It is also an opportunity to compare doing the same editing in both versions.
"When I look at All Projects, many of the video markers are blank until I double click on them."   The project 'icons' (thumbnail with chevrons above) often appear blank (black).  This seems to a common behaviour but it does not cause any problems with the project.   No-one seems to know how imovie chooses which clip to use in these icons.

  • How can I get my books that I download from the Library that are WMA files into my I tunes so I can listen to them

    How can I get my books that I download from the Library that are WMA files into my I tunes so I can listen to them. They have a ton of books but I can only listen to them from my windows media player and I wouldlove to download to my I pod but I have tried everything I can think of it they won't go over.  Someone said all I had to do was copy them over and they would convert but I can't even get them to copy.  Thanks.

    Well it started happening AGAIN with my 2nd IPod. No matter what I did, it Itunes would NOT restore it!
    I finally installed Itunes on my hubby's PC at work and managed to get it restored there.
    Apparently, there must be some sort of compatibility issue with the windows version of Itunes and some other piece of software on my pc.
    And one more important thing! I had to follow the instructions in the other thread that talks about how to correctly uninstall itunes and quicktime, in order to completely eliminate ALL traces of my "first" ipod's existence so it wouldn't demand that I restore it.
    I think the software got "confused" and thought when I connected my 2nd ipod, that it was the 1st and that it still needed to be restored.
    Basically, this is just POORLY written and POORLY tested software!

  • Imporing AVI files into Imovie 9

    Hey there
    I am finding it impossible to import a AVI file into Imovie 9, it will recognise it as an improtable file but when i select it and click choose it just tries to process it and then acts as though I never clicked on it in the first place... no error message nothing.
    Its strange that a video editing software is so limited (please dont say its not meant for editing strange movie formats as AVI is quite common) - is there a codec I can install or something to fix this problem?

    Stop taking my post down - I bought your product and have an oppinion. I gave nice clear examples and asked questions!
    You charge your Customers loads of money but cant handle it when they get angry for having to pay even more to fix something instead of offering a solution. Get it right.

  • Problem import large avi-files into iMovie '11

    I have a large AVI-file, DV, from an old video camera that I want to import to iMove '11. The file is 10,37 GB but when I import it to iMovie only a few scenes is visible. Also, iMovie says the file is 4,71 GB.
    How do I import the whole file?
    Thanks
    /Torbjörn

    If you can convert the AVI movie back on the PC to Quicktime, this would be your best option.  AVI files are limited to 4GB in size.  To get around this limit, the AVI file might be referencing other smaller files on the PC.  The AVI file format has been pretty much abandoned by Microsoft which now uses the WMV format.

  • Importing a VLC movies from .avi files into iMovie

    I have a camera that records in .avi and I watch them on my Mac with VLC.
    Is there a way to import these video clips into iMovie. I do not seem to be doing it correctly.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi megrove,
    You may need to convert the .avi clips to another format. The free program MPEG Streamclip can convert most formats. It's downloadable from this site: http://www.squared5.com/
    It's best to convert to AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec). This is the format that iMovie automatically converts compressed files to when importing from cameras or camera archives, for example, AVCHD .mts files. The conversion process expands the compressed files into full frames suitable for editing by iMovie. MPEG Streamclip will do this conversion for you, allowing the exported AIC file to be easily imported to iMovie without further conversion.
    MPEG Streamclip can also convert files to the H.264 format, which also works nicely with iMovie '09.

  • Importing AVI file into iMovie

    I converted an .m4v file (13m31s long) to an .avi file so I can import it into iMovie for editing. All of this completed, I opened iMovie, went File > Import > Movies > ___.avi file. It showed the importing progress, and once it was completed nothing showed up anywhere! I tried 3 times, restarted my computer, updated iMovie, NOTHING! Please help :[

    Yes I did try to import the .m4v file first. I used Prism to convert the video file to AVI. I am not entirely sure how to answer your question about the codec, but I believe it is an MPEG-4 ?

  • Using WindowsDV  .avi files in iMovie and iDVD

    I'm about to buy a Mac after using PCs for many years. I'm still deciding whether to buy an iMac 20", upgrade the Ram and use an external firewire drive or to get a Mac Pro and use internal drives. Initially I'll use iMovie and iDVD and I have some questions regarding using files I've already created on my PC. Up until now I've mainly been using Ulead Video Studio 10 and Ulead DVD Workshop. DVD Workshop does not do 16:9 menus and has now been discontinued and I've been impressed with iMovie and iDVD when I've seen it in Apple stores.
    I have some unedited 16:9 .avi files that I've captured from my Panasonic GS-400 camcorder as well as some already edited .avi and .mpg files. Will iMovie and iDVD recognise .avi DV files when accessed through my network or copied onto the Mac hard drive? I'll load unedited clips into iMovie for editing but anything that's already edited I'd like to put straight into iDVD, add chapters and make a menu etc.
    Is this going to work easily or will I have to convert the files to an apple compatible format?
    Thanks for any advice you can offer.

    Hi Ken and welcome to Apple!
    You should not have a major problem. The AVI files should (repeat should) be recognized by iMovie. If not, conversion should (I love the certainty of that word!) be easy.
    An iMac will do all you ask, but I recommend not less that 1GB of RAM.
    At this stage, go get your iMac, and try to import the AVI files into iMovie. If that is not successful post back!
    Remember: iMovie expects to be 'fed' by digital video through a firewire connection.
    Any more questions, we are here to help!

  • Importing FCP 4 files into iMovie 4

    Can this be done? I captured a lot of video to FCP 4, but the learning curve is more time intensive than I thought. Would now like to do the project in iMovie 4. Can I import the FCP files into iMovie, and if so, how is this done. BTW, I'm talking about nine hours of video.
    Thanks,
    Nick

    "Good point."
    ... and a well known for years, up to iM 4.... did some research on that, and the reason I found was the file system of System8 (eight!)....- so, using the 4th version of that wonderful app with 10.3 was limited by the file management of the pre-pre-version of the system ....

  • AVI Files in iMovie 09?

    My Insignia HD DV produces high def avi files. I had to install special avi drivers in order to even see the video in QuickTime.
    I haven't found a way to import avi files into iMovie 08. Is there way? Do I have to go with iMovie 09 to get this feature? Do I have to go with Final Cut Express to get this feature?

    Check out Apple specification of supported camcorders by iMovie and FCE to get know if your device supported.
    If not - you will need some external convertor
