Help for export to IMOVIE

Hi I am french and Im lost ! I try to export my videos on my ipod touch 4 to my computer (windows) and i dont know how i can do it!!! please help me ,thanks!

Any help on how i might pause the last frame after an animation. Add a duration to a frame after the animation is complete?
Also, i export as a .mov file which is nice, high definition. To get the file into IMOvie I have to convert to .dv, and then I lose the crispness. Any ideas for maintaining resolution?
thanks,

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!!

Which settings for exporting from iMovie '09

I have a couple of projects coming up, and I'll be using a MiniDV camera (Canon XL1S) and a hard drive camera (Canon Vixia HG21).
For final editing I'm using iMovie 6 (still feel the most comfortable with it), but need to use iMovie '09 to import AVCHD footage from the HG21.
What are the best settings to use for exporting that footage out of '09 and into '06? I hate to lose major quality on the HG21, but don't really mind if it looks comparable to the XL1S. These projects are really demanding that I keep it at optimum HD quality (besides, I'm not sure if I have the HD space to work with the biggest files. Also, I don't plan on burn to Blu-ray or anything like that. I'm just needing to burn standard-definition DVDs, and plan on doing that with iDVD.
Basically I looking for advice on the proper quality settings for these needs, and also wondering if I'm looking at any issues regarding the different aspect ratios I'll be dealing with.
Thanks much…

Many thanks Lennart, and my apologies for a typo earlier when really confused you by leaving out one key word. I meant to say, "These projects are really (not) demanding that I keep it at optimum HD quality…"
I like your idea of pillarboxing the whole project, filling an entire widescreen TV with my Vixio footage. I assume the key is to open my new iMovie '06 project with the "DV Widescreen" setting, right?
Regarding how to convert AVCHD down to SD… I've been experimenting some with iMovie '09 on my intel-MacBook. Please tell me if I can forego the VoltaicHD purchase by doing this:
- I'm importing my Vixio footage into '09, choosing the "Large - 960x540" setting, just to keep the file size down.
- I'm then choosing Share>Export Movie, and again, I'm choosing the "Large" radio button.
- When the movie has exported, I'm seeing that it is saved with a .m4v extension. iMovie '06 will not allow me to drag a .m4v file into the clip pane. However, if I change the extension to .mov, I AM able to drag it in, and it appears that all is working ok.
What do you think? Is this workable? Am I sacrificing something with this method? Though I have not yet ripped anything to DVD, the quality seems good, (for SD standards, anyway).
One other question: Is it possible to export multiple clips out of '09 so that they can be brought into '06 individually? So far, all I'm able to do is to export them as one complete "movie," with all of my raw clips locked together. I'd like to have them separated when they arrive in '06. Maybe this is easy to do, and I just have not figured out this feature in '09.
Thx again…

Expert settings for exporting from iMovie

Help. I have a digital video uploaded to iMovie 3.0.3, about 30 minutes in duration and use an external DVD burner (no iDVD). the movie size in iMovie is about 6.3 gigs. I have successfully exported to quicktime but the screen sizes are too small. I would like to create a high quality export at 720 x 480, and burn to DVD. My preference would be to create a DVD that plays on PC's and MAC's but not require QT but simply plays like any DVD movie. Can anyone suggest the correct codec and settings? Thanks!
PowerMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thank you. If I were to burn the DVD through QT, what codec and settings would be recommended? At my last burn attempt, I used H.264 with just under best quality setting, frame rate 'at current' and automatic for data rate and key frames. Movie is about 3.6 gigs and looks great except video is occasionally choppy. I suspect the coppyness may be because iMovie is running from an external HD.

Applescript help for Exporting Playlist

I have two Imac...... my business mac at a resturant/bar for djing and my home Imac for purchasing and orgainizing my music collection.
I frequently replace music audio and video files for better quality versions,
This is causing me headaches because at work we might have a lot of smartlists which are based on ratings and other tags. I need to get the tags from the old files imported into the updated versions of those files.
I found this script which looks like it may solve my problem but I need help fine tuning it for my needs.
This script takes as input a Music.txt file created with iTunes' File > Export command. It then applies the song ratings found in this file to the same songs in the current iTunes library. The song name, artist, and album must match; otherwise, the rating will not be affected. If they do match, the current rating will be replaced.
IMPORTANT: Before running this script, the Music.txt file must be encoded as UTF-8. To do so, simply open Music.txt in TextEdit (or a similar editor) and re-save the file with UTF-8 encoding.
set the_file to Flix Media/Flix Music/All Media/Music.txt
set music_lines to read the_file using delimiter {return}
display dialog "This script may take a very long time to run, depending on the size of your iTunes library. (Processing a 2000-song library required approximately 20 minutes on a 2.5 GHz MacBook Pro.)" & return & return & "Do you still want to continue?"
-- Split the line at tab stops
set text item delimiters to ASCII character 9
-- Start at 2 instead of 1 to skip the header line
repeat with i from 2 to count music_lines
          set music_line to item i of music_lines
          set music_fields to every text item of music_line
          if length of music_fields is 27 then
                    set the_name to item 1 of music_fields
                    set the_artist to item 2 of music_fields
                    set the_album to item 4 of music_fields
                    set the_rating to item 26 of music_fields
                    tell application "iTunes"
                              set the_tracks to (file tracks of library playlist 1 whose name is the_name and artist is the_artist and album is the_album)
                              repeat with the_track in the_tracks
                                        set the rating of the_track to the_rating
                              end repeat
                    end tell
          end if
end repeat
Problem 1
What am I doing incorrect with my file path? My computer has a separate partition called Flix Media
This is what I typed :
set the_file to Flix Media/Flix Music/All Media/Music.txt
but it errors out on Flix Media.
The original script had this:
set the_file to choose file
Problem 2
I would like to automate this script to run at night. (I have a few scripts that need to run at night prior to this.)
Is there any way to save the music.text file with an applescript, then re-open it in a textEdit and re-save it as a UTF-8 format?
It this could be done then the running of this script could follow.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appriciated....
Ron

I just figure what was wrong with my file path.
set the_file to "Volumes/Flix Media/Flix Music/All Media/Music.txt"
So all I need is help with problem 2.
Thanks.....

HELP for a clueless Imovie user

I am a beginner.. have created a few projects.. and have uploaded them successfully to mobile me. BUT.. I want to be able to upload the movies to MediaFire, which is a file hosting site. HOW do I do this? Do I have to export as a quick time move onto my desktop, which takes 6 HOURS! and then upload that to Media Fire which takes MORE time.. I don't even know how long yet..??
I don't understand why it takes SO LONG to upload my 45 minute movie to mobile me which is apple to apple.. 6 hours! But that's another question.. I just need to know how to upload or export, whatever the word is, my Imovie to Media file directly.
thanks!
hugs,
amy

Thanks AppleMan1958!
But.... I'm sorry I wasn't clear with my question
Let me ask it again:
I have just finished uploading a movie from my canon video camera to Imovie. I have completed my project and am ready to upload it. HOW do I upload this completed movie to something other than what is in my "share" options? Is there a way to upload the movie directly to other sites? Or, do I have to save it as a quick time move, which still takes about 6 hours and will end up on my desktop and THEN I can upload it to these free file sites..?
thanks!
hugs,
amy

Need help for Export to XML Functionality

Hi All ,
I have developed a report in Apex2.2 to export the data into XML format .
I have used "export to XML" functionality and "HTF.escape_sc" function to escape special characters.The query is as follows..
select
HTF.escape_sc(replace (e.EVENT_NAME,'''','&'||'apos;')) AS EVENT_NAME ,
HTF.escape_sc(replace (e.VENUE_NAME,'''','&'||'apos;')) AS VENUE_NAME ,
HTF.escape_sc(replace (e.VENUE_ADDR,'''','&'||'apos;')) AS VENUE_ADDR ,
HTF.escape_sc(replace (e.DESCRIPTION,'''','&'||'apos;')) AS DESCRIPTION ,
HTF.escape_sc(replace (e.TRACKING_URL,'''','&'||'apos;')) AS TRACKING_URL ,
HTF.escape_sc(replace (d.primary_product,'''','&'||'apos;')) AS primary_product
from events e ,d_01 d
where
d.event_id = to_char(e.event_id)
and e.publish = 'external'
and e.searchable = 'Y'
The output result in XML in APEX2.2 is absolutely fine , but when i moved the application to apex.oracle.com the XML report instead of '&' it is displaying "%26amp" .
Is there any problem with APEX3.3 .
Appreciate your quick response.
Thanks
Jyoti

Jyoti,
Replacing special characters from where? Report? Replacing by what?
The code for the package is open. You may use the part in the package body:
FOR i IN 1 .. CEIL (v_xml_l / 4000)
      LOOP
         v_xml_cut := SUBSTR (v_xml, v_count, 4000);
         HTP.prn (v_xml_cut);
         v_count := v_count + 4000;
      END LOOP;
...and do something like
HTP.prn (REPLACE(v_xml_cut, '&', '&lt;'));

Cant export from imovie?

Hello, i need help with exporting my iMovie project to my phone. After i finished both projects, both containing as much audio (recording my voice) as there was video, they both had problems saving to my phone. After i was done i went to the button where it allows you to export to many places such as youtube, facebook, iMessages, email, and most importantly for me to my phone. I hit save to phone and it says exporting.... With a loading bar but nothing moves. I tried exporting 360p and it still didnt work. I also tried another project with the same video but a little longer, not much audio and the exporting started to work (the loading bar was actually filling up. I really need an answer to this. Its getting very irritating, and i really dont see why its not working. Any help is okay. I have ios 8.3 which came out recently. I tthink iOS 8.3. I also cant export to youtube same problem. No error box popping up just says exporting but does nothing.

Hello Tshown,
can you import from camera into iMovie?
here are some possible solutions
1. delete preferences (com.apple.iMovie.plist) and empty the trash
2. repair disc permissions with Disc Utility
3. use Diskwarrior or MacJanitor for disc clean-up
4. empty cache (CacheoutX)
5. disconnect any other firewire devices
hope this helps

Best way to export from iMovie 09 to iMovie HD

Due to a) image quality issues, and b) no export to tape feature, I need to stick with iMovie HD for all my editing needs.
However, I do want to use those nifty map and photo animations in my iMovie HD project. What are the best settings for exporting from iMovie '09 to a format that works in iMovie HD and is 1080i? Since I'm working with HD files, I don't really care about size.
Thanks!

Thanks shawk, however, the DV stream is not in HD. It exports in 720x480 I think.
I've had some time to test out the AIC more. I can't find a difference between the 1080i and 1080p (even though it converts down to 1080i for the final). There doesn't appear to be a noticeable loss in quality and it seems to work perfectly with iMovie HD. Maybe I answered my own question? haha.

Allocating buffer for export plugin

Hi in the docs this tis stated "Unfortunately, Export modules must track the buffer for the data requested from the host even though the host allocates the buffer. This means that the Buffer suite routines do not provide much help for Export modules.".
What does this mean?
That I should not use the Buffer suite when I write an exporter, and resort to malloc type functions for memory allocation?
Or is there a special way of handling the buffers when in an export module?
Thanks
Dimi

Yep using the Pica Buffer handle callbacks, did work at least for allocating/deallocating within one function.
Here are the function pointers I used, It took me some time to find what to do since there is no straight example in the documentation.
I found the PoorMansTypeTool helpfull in showing how this can work.
//intiialize in InitGlobal
if (gStuff->sSPBasic->AcquireSuite( kPSBufferSuite, kPSBufferSuiteVersion2, (const void **)&gPSBufferSuite64)) gResult = errPlugInHostInsufficient;
//Get buffer
unsigned8 *rowBigData = (unsigned8 *) gPSBufferSuite64->New(NULL, gStuff->imageSize.h*gStuff->imageSize.v*gStuff->planes);
//Displose buffer
gPSBufferSuite64->Dispose((char**)&rowBigData);
Tom what is the difference between the kPSBufferSuiteVersion1 and kPSBufferSuiteVersion2. The buffer suite 2 seems to have both 32 and 64 bit allocating functions.
Thanks

This pops up when exporting in iMovie "Unable to prepare project for publishing: The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (ParamErr: error in user parameter list)" I have turned off my Time Machine in terminal.

This pops up when exporting in iMovie "Unable to prepare project for publishing: The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred.

Hi
Error -50 paramErr Error in user parameter list
Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
What this means in Your situation is above me.
• free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
Video codec
• streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
Pictures
• in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
Audio
• from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
• Library - at root level
• Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
from Luke Burns
I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..
Klaus1
You need more free space on your hard drive.
jonorparkerjon
After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
Where do Your material come from
• Camera
• External hard disk
• USB-memory
And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

Help with exporting HD for use in DVDSP.

Hi Guys,
Very glad I found this forum as I am just out of ideas to get this working. Here is the situation:
I have a project of a wedding in HDV, which contains 3 sequences with the following lengths:
The Service = 45mins
Photoshoot = 5mins
Reception = 80mins
I have decided I would like to have the Service + photoshoot on ONE DVD and the reception on ONE DVD. If possible? If not possible I will have the reception spread over two but i do not see the need.
First of all I have a Powermac dual 1.8 which doesn't have a dual layer dvd burner, so to have a higher quality result and to be able to fit more on I have decided I probably best to get a Dual Layer burner to do this project.
But before I do that, I need to work out what is the best settings for exporting this project out of FCP 5.1 to work on a SD DVD? Do I use compressor? If so which preset or what settings of my own? I have tried various things and I honestly get lost and my project in DVD SP is around 12GB. So i try exporting again with other ways in compressor and then the quality just looks terrible.
The FCP project is all in HDV with apple intermediate codec so I would be exporting from that, but obviously only need the DVD in SD!
If it helps converting the HD project to SD/DV I can do that with the sequence which I did try and then some more export experimenting but it looked really bad.
Please help guys I am desperate and no idea on what to do here.
I really appreciate your time, feel free to ask me anything to help you determine what I should do.
Thank you so much.
