Getting iphone videos to imovie?

The videos I've taken on my iphone, then transferred to my computer used to be uploaded onto imovie every time I opened imovie. But not any longer. They are only showing in iphoto. Am I doing something wrong, or is this no longer possible?

I just opened imovie and they were finally there! Yes, in the events library in iphoto videos. The last uploaded was from september, until just now! I have no idea what happened, but when I opened imovie this time it took a minute for the videos to be loaded into imovie, like it did in the past. And they are all there!
Thanks for responding!

Getting Analog Video into iMovie

Greetings,
OK, so I have successfully imported digital video into iMovie on several occasions with my "newer" video camera (a SONY DCR-TRV80).
Problem is, I have and older camera (a Canon ES800A) that uses 8mm tape. I've been wanting to get rid of the camera (a nice one for it's time) but, I have about 6 tapes worth of video that I'd like to at least permanently archive.
I suspect there is some hardware device out there that will allow me do to this - can anyone tell me would I need to be shopping for? (hoping it's not prohibitively expensive!)
Any help would be appreciated!
Next up? - a camcorder with a hard disk!
Thanks,
Jim

Hi : I have a related problem maybe you could help me with....I've got about 6 Beta tapes [ remember them ? ] that I'd like to transfer to DVD while there still viewable. About 4 hours of tape on each....
I have an Optura 20 DV [Canon] and a Beta tape machine. The optura 20 manual says you should be able to run the RCA plugs out of the Beta unit into the AV jack on the Optura, then FW out into I - Movie. OR you can record onto a DV tape, then into IMovie. I've had no luck with either method. No Beta material shows on the DV monitor no matter what I do. It does play into a standard T.V from Beta, so I know the tape AND the Beta machine are working.
Do I need something like that Canopus Converter ? ....don't know if that' s the exact name .
Any suggestions appreciated...Thanks

Video Converters to get Sony Video into iMovie

I am new to the video side of the world and need some advice. I am trying to import videos into iMovie. I am trying to import video from a Sony Cam, a DVD tht I made myself but mow would like to edit and my Flip Video. Additionally I will import video from a friends Nikon. Apple "suggested" handbrake, streamclip and toast. I see there a number of them on the app store. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Handbrake will be useful for converting the DVD back to a format that iMovie can edit. MPEG Streamclip requires some extra software still sold by Apple caleld the MPEG-2 QuickTime Playback component, download the beta of Streamclip and follow their directions for installing it will get the MPEG-2 component installed correctly. This will then let you open the DVD directly in Streamclip and get pieces out of it or just convert the whole disk to Apple Intermediate Codec. As for Sony and Flip video, don't know specifically which camera you have and what formats they record in, but there's likely a way to convert most of them into Apple Intermediate Codec which is the native editing/playback format that iMovie uses.

I have downloaded video to iPhotos but how do you get the video to iMovies

I have downloaded video to iPhotos but how do you get the video to iMovies

In iMovie look in the Event Library. You should see an Event named "iPhoto Videos" (assuming the videos are compatible with iMovie).
Each time you open iMovie it will look for any new videos in iPhoto and place thumbnails in the iPhoto Videos Event. You will be given a choice as to whether you want the thumbnails generated now or later. The thumbnails will appear in chronological (date) order in the Event window. Note that the clips themselves are not actually imported to iMovie - they are simply referenced by iMovie (that is, iMovie points to the clips in iPhoto).
Drag clips (or parts of clips) to a project. To start a new project, select File > New Project from iMovie's menu.
Please ask if you need more advice. Otherwise, click on Help > iMovie Help in the menu. There you will find plenty of good information about how to use iMovie, including short video tutorials.

IPhone video to iMovie HD is distorted

When I upload video shot on my iPhone 3Gs into iMovie HD it seems the aspect ratio is distorted. It imports just fine, and audio is fine too, it's just that the ratio is too wide. People (actually all images) look fine on the iPhone, but appear shorter and wider in iMovie. Solutions anyone?

In the future, you can import directly into iMovie. If the movie is still on your phone's Camera Roll, you can still do this. Attach the phone via USB cable and if iPhoto opens, close it down. Then in iMovie, click FILE/IMPORT FROM CAMERA.
If it is in iPHoto, there should be an iPhoto Event listed among the Events in iMovie. This movie should be in there.

What cord to I need to get a video into iMovie?

What cord do I need to get video into iMovie? I have a Canon HDV video camera, a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter but not a cord from the camera that matches. I am using a Macbook Air.

You need a Firewire DV cable like this one.

IPhone video and iMovie

How do I move video taken on my iPhone and get it into iMovie? The video I have is currently in iPhoto.

same way you get photos into imovie from iphoto.
You can use the help feature in imovie to find these answers.
There is a media option in imovie. It will allow you to pull iphoto media into imovie.

How do i get my videos onto imovie?

to edit them??? do i need to change the format... how? how can i get videos from my camcorder onto the computer, or photobooth onto imovie?

Ok so you can get the DVD onto your computer through various methods. Handbrake, MPEG Streamclip are good choices
If you want to further edit them then I would suggest encoding with H.264, MPEG-4 seems to work with iMovie.
If you have the source footage that is ultimately recommended if you are going to edit as the content ripped off the DVD will be compressed

Error importing iphone video to imovie

I am trying to import iphone 4 video to iPhoto on MBP but getting an error. Is there a video minimum time? I'm importing videos 1 at a time, videos are about 3 to 12 minutes long. All have .mov extension. Getting an error. What am I not doing correctly?

I'm having a similar issue. I imported a video from my iPhone to my iMac. The preview of the video imported is perfect. Views same as on iPhone. However, when I select the clip for a "New Project" then the video is all messed up. I'd call it a cross from squished, to cropped to enlarged. Definitely not the same as what I imported and see in the original strip in the Event Window. Weird.

Syncing iPhone video to iMovie

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how to sync video from my iPhone to iMovie? Anything can help. Thanks

This is not supported at the present time, which isn't a sync process. This is an import process.
As with a digital camera that supports capturing photos and videos, you can use iPhoto to import photos and videos that were captured by the iPhone. Since all iLife applications are integrated, you should be able to use iMovie to access the video in iPhoto.

Possible to rotate iPhone video in iMovie?

I handed my phone to a friend to take a short video of her daughter and on importing found the video was rotated.
Is there a way of rotating the video to correct this in iMovie? TIA

Yes you can. Assuming you are using iMovie 10. see:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov6dae53dfd
You do it on clips after putting them in a project timeline

IPhone video and iMovie - .mov format?

OK, so I have a 3GS and an iMac, and I'm trying to create an iMovie using video that I recorded on the phone. I finally was able to import the data into iPhoto and it's working fine there (showing up as .mov format), but just as a passive - I can't do anything with it in iPhoto, including play it. I want to import it to iMovie but it won't let me. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it? Thanks!

I tried that, but when I did, it wouldn't let me open anything at all in iPhoto - it was greyed out as an option. I could move the files to my desktop and see if that works. BRB.
ETA: It seems to be generating the thumbnails now, since I moved the files to the desktop. Weird. Hopefully it'll continue to behave.
Thanks for your help, guys!

ANY way to get iTunes Videos into iMovie?

I've downloaded several videos from iTunes, I'd like to be able to burn a few of these to DVD (ideally editing out undesired content)
(I realize this will be of pretty poor quality - but would like to be able to watch from a TV rather than computer - & don't even own a video iPod)
Is there ANYway to do this?
xandra

Legality has nothing to do with this.
Alex,
are you a lawyer?
don't give legal advices, if you have no plan; you run people into deep trouble giving them "advice":
getting an account in the iTMS, you've accepted to following (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/legal/policies.html):

any "burn" is a process of copying... copy rights... got it?

Where can I SAFELY get download to import youtube video into iMovie?

I posted this in the iMovie section and have not gotten a reply, so I'm hoping you guys can help:
Cnet seems to have some programs that would meet my need to get youtube video into iMovie, but a search on the safety of cnet downloads reveals that many people claim to have gotten malware from there. The last thing I'd want is to get anything bad on my brand new Air! Would be grateful for suggestions from various people on a) what program to use b) where to safely download it. Thank you in advance for helping.

just to be clear: that plugin is for Firefox, not Safari
after installation and relaunch of Firfox, you'll notice the spinning three balls, IF the plug-in recognizes 'downloadable' content - here: a youtube video.
clicking on that (very) tiny, grey triangle offers you some download options (in your language) ....
