  • IMovie 10.0.5 and it won't export the finished video.

    Laptop running 10.9.5 and iMovie 10.0.5
    Finished a video and it is in the "theater" but it won't share from there since it is saying that it "Can't share when referencing the camera."  We have reimported the files three times now.  When we remove the card after the import it makes the files all disappear. The computer will not recognize the imported files.  It is giving the message in the timeline on the supposedly missing (and imported three times now) files that "The media from the clip is still on the camera.  To begin importing, select "Reimport from Camera/Archive..." from the File menu."
    There is NO "Reimport from Camera/Archive..." in the FILE menu.  Where is this and how can I get this hour long and fully edited exported?
    Please do not tell me to reimport the files.  We have.  Three times.
    Please do not tell me to select the event files and then the words will appear in the File menu.  They don't. 
    Please do not tell me to select the files in the edited timeline and the words will appear in the file menu.  They don't.
    Please do not tell me that my student has wasted hours editing this project and we won't be able to use it. 
    I need an answer to get to it and fast.  We are on a deadline.  Thanks.

    Did you get any joy with answering this?
    My first thought was that maybe when you imported you chose to leave the files  in place rather than copy then to the iMovie library..but I can't see where that option is now.
    I too have created a short movie from load f clips..but can't export or share either..the 'Share 'menu is empty..you go to it and no sub menu appears.

  • Imovie will not import the whole video, only a portion. How can I import the entire video?

    I am new Imovie user and I am having some difficulty importing video from my desktop. The whole video is on my desktop, but when I try to import it in imovie, only a few minutes of the video imports. How can I fix this issue?

    Hi
    A. How much free space is there on Your - Start-Up (Macintosh HD) Hard disk ?
    The movie in Your Camera / Stored on Your Mac (from Camera) - is very Compressed.
    For iMovie (or FinalCut) it has to be in an Editable format - and this is massively LARGER
    I've movies on 500Mb when un-folder are 50Gb or even more.
    B. Is there other external Hard Disks connected ?
    How are it / they formatted - HAS TO BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) to work for VIDEO
    UNIX / DOS / FAT32 / Mac OS Exchange - Works for most other things but not for VIDEO

  • Pls help. My Camera Raw, CS6 and Lightroom won't read the NEF files from D610.

    I recently upgraded to Nikon D610 and the NEF files were not readable from my old version of Camera Raw, CS6 and Lightroom. So downloaded the recommended upgrades and I now have Camera Raw 8.4.0.199; Lightroom 5.3; CS6 13.01. But still did not read my D610 NEF's. Please help. Thanks.

    oh wait, i got it. Just in case for those who will have the same scenario. I downloaded the NEF files from my D610 using the old ViewNX 2.1 software and that was the cause of incompatibility. So i upgraded my ViewNX to 2.9 and downloaded my images again. And it worked this time.

  • I am trying to edit Camtasia footage and Premiere won't recognize the codec

    I downloaded and installed the tscc codec Camtasia uses. The .avi plays back fine from VLC and Media Player but Premiere doesn't recognize it. I have an older version of Premiere on an old work PC and it edits the codec fine but for some reason Premiere CC 2014 won't import it...

    Good day,
    Sorry to hear you're having trouble.  Could you try the solutions outlined in this document: Troubleshooting Common Problems with ExportPDF

  • I transfered a project from one mac to another and imovie won't open the rcproject on the 2nd computer

    How do I get the new computer to open the transferred project to continue editing?

    The project file is sort of like a text file ( a hexadecimal text file) that provides instructions to how to put the project together. These instructions are run when you SHARE the project using the Share menu.
    The rcproject file does not contain any of your video footage. Those are all in the Event folders. It also does not contain your Photos. Those are in iPhoto, or Aperture, or wherever you keep them.
    A project might say,
    Go get clip A from Event 1 and start at frame 32 and end at frame 500. Then overlay a title on it and crank up a music track that you can find at this path in iTunes. Now go get this other clip....
    That is why project files are very small.
    That is also why it is very important to do all moves within iMovie. If you move an Event folder somewhere using the Finder, the Project file still thinks that all the clips are at the original place, so now they can't find them.
    The best way to move the Event folders is to attach an external drive. The external drive must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). In iMovie, click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK. Now you should see your disk drive listed in the Event Library.
    The most foolproof method is first to hold down the Command key and drag the small icon for your project in the Project Library List to the small icon for the external disk drive in the Project Library List. (Note: A simple drag will COPY. Holding Command down as you drag will MOVE).
    Now, select this project file on your external drive. Now click FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA. Now you can copy over all Event folders referenced in the Project, as well as copies of any music, photos, or other project assets.
    You can plug this drive into the other Mac and edit. Or if you prefer, you can reverse the process by Command Dragging the Project (in iMovie ) to the internal drive, and then selecting it and FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA.

  • When I imported my mp4 video to imovies, it only shows the 1st frame of the video and not the rest...

    When I imported an mp4 video to imovies, it only imported the 1st frame of the video - all thumbnails only showed the 1st frame.

    It sounds like you have hidden the menu bar, for details of how to restore it see the [[menu bar is missing]] article. This article may also help - [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]]

  • HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

    trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
    if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
    is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
    also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
    many thanks for your help.

    Photos are added to book in chronological order.  So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
    1 - select all the photos in the album.
    2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
    3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
    4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
    5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

  • I'm trying to make a slideshow in iMovie, but when I upload photos from my Aperture Library into the iMovie Photo Browser some photos (305 out of 427) are missing. How do I get iMovie to upload all of them?

    I'm trying to make a slideshow in iMovie, but when I upload photos from my Aperture Library into the iMovie Photo Browser, some photos (305 out of 427) are missing. How do I get iMovie to upload all of them?

    I have same problem. I could only see a fraction of my project photos if I browse the Aperture lbrary. It is the same problem when I sync the aperture photos to my iPhone or iPad. I still cannot solve it but I know a way to go around it for your iMovie to see the pictures so that you can work on your iMovie.
    Here is the work around:
    Export the photos from your album to your hard disk and re-import into your iPhoto. Now you should be able to see those photos that you want to work on in iMovie when you browse your iPhot library.

    Since the ios7 update I go to use my camera and switch to video and it won't switch ! ..why is this ? HELP

    Thanks stedman1 for continuing to push this interface change news...   I must have taken 100 photos last night (of my shoes) trying to switch to video (unsuccessfully).   Very frustrating.
    OTOH, like many Apple interface innovations, it is simple to learn and easy to remember.  
    Honestly, that's all we can ask for, there really ain't no intuitive.

    I'm trying to make a purchase and I get a message that the information does not match with the bank. What can I do?

    Go to the APP store or Itunes. On the bottom of the mainpage, tap your apple id, view account. Then you can edit the payment information. Or you can do it(if you encounter a problem there) on Itunes on computer. Just go to the store, select your name and edit information. Make sure everything matches...exp date, name as appears on card etc..
