Help with iMovie and importing HD camera

I have a Canon HD camera and can import it fine into iMovie. The problem is, I need the footage to be viewable and editable on a PC laptop and the .mov file only allows audio and not visual. Does anyone know if during import or after import if I can convert the file into something other than .mov?

Hi douremember:
Welcome to discussions!
The mytv.pvr uses MPEG-2 files which are not compatible with iMovie. They need to be converted to DV (didn't tell you that-did they..)

  • How can I connect a Sony DCR-PC110 video camera with iMovie and import my videos?

    How can I connect my Sony video camera DCR-PC110 with iMovie in order to import my old videos?

    Hi
    This Camera has three types of ports.
    - Analog-out
    - USB
    - I.Link = FireWire = IEEE1394 = Digital in/out = DV-terminal
    And Your Camera only can send Photos via the USB-connection - NO VIDEO.
    So You Must get a FireWire Cable and eventually a ThunderBolt/FireWire converter Cable to get Import to work.
    There are no real way around this.

  • Capturing with iMovie and importing into fce 4

    Hi, everytime I try to capture mini dv footage from my Panasonic camcorder using final cut express, the transfer/capture crashes.
    However, capturing using iMovie 08 gives me no problems at all.
    Before I spend more time looking into the errors, if I capture using iMovie 08 and then import that into fce 4, am I losing any audio / video quality? I read somewhere that iMovie works off raw dv files - is this what would get imported into fce?
    Note: I would import the iMovie project into fce and not be exporting first from iMovie and then importing into fce.
    thanks

    My video is on mini-DV. The camera I used to record was a panasonic ag-dvx100 PAL. I am using DV-PAL easy setup. I am playing back with a panasonic nv-ds30 camcorder (I rented the other one).
    I have now managed to get past the dropped frames - that seemed to have been the test tape. I am now using a different tape, the actual tape i used for the footage. Now everytime I capture (using either mark in/out or capture now) the capture stops with a locating timecode and then breaks. I can't seem to capture it all in one go. This scene when I shot it was a single scene so there were no stops/pauses during the recording.
    There seemed to be some discussion on this in the thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4183209#4183209) but that was a different camera.
    any help would be great.

  • IPad 2 help with iMovie and iTunes

    Hello all and thank you for reading.  I'm not a stranger to apple products, owing most of the iPhone's and apple tv since their debut some years ago.  Recently I bought the ipad 2 and it has been one issue after another.  I'll start with the main issue.  Upon buying my iPad 2, like others I did a sync with iTunes to add content to my iPad.  Through the sync process iTunes would crash every time during the syncing of photos portion.  After awhile I discovered the issue.  When iTunes tried to sync video made with my iPhone 4 into photos on the iPad 2 it would crash.  The iphone keeps video it records in the photo section automatically as it doesn't have a video section like the ipad 2.  Once I reorganized all pictures in to separate folders and playing process of elimination I discovered this issue.  With the video recorded with the iPhone 4 removed from the picture folder in iTunes the sync went through with no issue.  Next, when I organized the videos taken out of photos and added them to iTunes they where put into the movies section.  Not an issue for me.  So I now have the videos and pictures I want on my iPad.  Recently on a trip to Disney I recorded several videos and wanted to edit them using iMovie on my iPad. I took the videos from the iPhone 4, placed them in the video folder I created on my laptop separate from the pictures and then added the videos to iTunes.  They were placed under video on my iPad 2 just like it has been.  Next I bought iMovie and planned to go to work editing.  I was wrong, IMovie will not find the videos on my iPad. The videos are indeed on the iPad as I've watched them all but when adding a project to iMovie the video tab remains empty.  I've tried everything to get iMovie to see the videos and nothing works.  I feel like I waisted 5.00 for the app since it can't even recognize movies made with my iPhone 4.  If anyone can explain to me what I'm doing wrong and help me to fix this issue I would greatly appreciate it.

    Check out this video (not mine) that explains how to convert the video files and how to copy them to iPad 2 so that iMovie can find them.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gYxxMO9ylk
    I'm having another problem after upgrading to iTunes 10.4.1, it crashes when copying video files. If you're using a PC for iTunes, DO NOT UPGRADE iTUNES until this is fixed. Unfortunately I upgraded in the middle of a project that I now I'm stuck. My iPad 2 and iMovie app might as well be a brick. Way to go, Apple!

  • Help with imovie and idvd

    first time at this so i'm sorry. i have my movie exactly how i want it in imovie, no themes, nothing but video clips and audio clips. can i burn this just as it is without haveing to have themes or anything like that when i share it with idvd? help me with this please. i would be greatly appreciative. thanks-b

    there're two sorts of themes:
    iMovie themes
    iDVD themes...
    no need to create an iMovie with themes..
    on a videoDVD, you usually have a 'menu', from which the viewer can choose movies, slideshows, director's cut.. etc.pp. ... so, this is a common Q at the iDVD section of this board...
    there are 5 known workarounds, to create with iDVD a no-theme, autostart videoDVD,.. follow advices and links in this threat

  • Help with resizing and import a .psd file

    I have a rather large logo that is a photoshop file. I am trying to scale it down in motion to use on a lower third. when I import the file it is large so I basically drag the handles to resize it. When it gets small the edges are very jagged and lok horrible. Is there something that motion needs to see from the .psd file for a clean import? I have also tried exporting the logo as a smaller file size and the resolution still looks horrible.

    encoding is only for character data.  It is not used for byte data.
    ARQ requires message level transactions which is not supported in UDP. That is the whole point of TCP.  It can bedone but you have to design a message accounting system. Performance is not an issue because Get-Content would usually rad the whole file
    into a buffer and spit it out in pieces. The client would just feed the file to the transport layer so performance for reading the file is not an issue. THe buffer acquisition and design of message accounting is where all performance issues will show up.
    In the past the file could be an issue on a large system with slow disks and limited user memory.  We used stream readers because the system gave special attention to stream IO so it would be fast.  Current systems are so fast and so highly buffered
    that direct block read is actually more efficient.  If you want to control memory footprint with scrolling then use memory mapped IO.   In general, the Internet is till not fast enough to beat the modern computer so that is not usually necessary
    Anyway, good luck with your project no matter what you decide to do.  Remember that encoding is only when you want to translate character data between systems or locales. Unicode to ANSI, ANSI to UTF-8... 
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Help on export sybase iq tables with data and import in another database ?

    Help on export Sybase iq 16 tables with data and import into another database ?

    Hi Nilesh,
    If you have table/index create commands (DDLs), you can create them in Developper and import data using one of methods below
    Extract/ Load table
    Insert location method : require IQ servers to be entered in interfaces file
    Backup/Restore : copy entire database content
    If you have not the DDLs, you can generate them using IQ cockpit or SCC.

  • Problem with Facetime and my MacBookPro camera

    Hello,
    I've got a MacBookPro and I have a problem with Facetime and my front camera.
    When I have a discussion with an iMac or an other MacBook the image received by the other person becomes fix.
    To unfix it I have to put my finger on my camera and then everything is good until the next time, 4 to 10 seconds later I've got the problem again.
    Perhaps somebody can help me.
    My head on my screen is always good even when the bug appear on my correspondent's screen.
    For information, the 2 mac have the same iOS version (OSX Lion) and Facetime version.

    Hi Dave,
    Edit: Well, I guess I was lost when I posted this. My answer was regarding a problem with OS X, not iOS. I'm going to leave the answer here in case someone else with a Facetime for Mac issue can benefit, because when you're searching for "Facetime AND Login", you could land in any discussion area. -Jerry
    Keychain Access.app is in your Utilities folder in your Applications folder.
    The path will be: Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access.app.
    Keychain is where all your passwords are stored for those applications that you don't want to have to manually log into all the time.
    It's a handy app to become familiar with, for instance if you want to look up a password or user name from the past.
    Hope this helps you.

    I'm a beginner with iMovie and my hard drive is filling up fast. How do I move the event files from the hard drive to my time capsule?

    you should never (ab)use a designated backup-setup for 'ordinairy' storage tasks.
    plus, the wireless connection to TC is too slow for iMovie.
    purchase any ext. usb-harddrive, 500Gigs starting at 50$ ...

  • Help with writing and retrieving data from a table field with type "LCHR"

    Hi Experts,
    I need help with writing and reading data from a database table field which has a type of "LCHR". I have given an example of the original code but don't know what to change it to in order to fix it and still read in the original data that's stored in the LCHR field.
    Basically we have two Function modules, one that saves list data to a database table and one that reads in this data. Both Function modules have an identicle table which has an array of fields from type INT4, CHAR, and type P. The INT4 field is the first one.
    Incidentally this worked in the 4.7 non-unicode system but is now dumping in the new ECC6 Unicode system.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Anuj,
    The unicode flag is active.
    When I run our report and then to try and save the list data a dump is happening at the following point
    LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
    As I say, T_TAB consists of different fields and field types whereas L_WA is CHAR 800. The dump mentions UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE
    When I try to load a saved list the dump is happening at the following point
    APPEND T_DATA-RAWDATA to T_TAB.
    T_DATA-RAWDATA is type LCHR and T_TAB consists of different fields and field types.
    In both examples the dumps mention UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE

    Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty.  That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu.

  • Help with script for "Import AD users from CSV with checks first"

    Hi everyone.
    Can anyone tell me if i am on the right track here?
    I want to be able to provide a CSV with users and import into a new AD domain/forest. But i know there already are some AD accounts so i need to run some checks. For now i am checking only on Name and Email.
    The issue i have is is with "write-host "$UserFullName was not found. Creating user.". It outputs this 19 times which is the same amount of times as there are users in AD in this OU.
    Not sure if my method is right. 
    $allImportedUsers=@()
    $allUsersArray=@()
    $searchbase="OU=PL,DC=EUECS,DC=CORP,DC=ARROW,DC=COM"
    $path = "OU=Users,OU=PL,DC=EUECS,DC=CORP,DC=ARROW,DC=COM"
    $allImportedUsers = Import-CSV polandusers_edited.csv
    $allUsersArray = Get-ADObject -LDAPFilter "objectClass=User" -SearchBase $searchbase -Properties * | select *
    $allImportedUsers | ForEach-Object {
    $Firstname = $_.givenname
    $Lastname = $_.surname
    $UserMail = $_.EmailAddress
    $UserFullName = $Firstname+" "+$Lastname
    $importUserSAM = $_.Samaccountname
    $allUsersArray | ForEach-Object {
    $currUserFirstname = $_.givenName
    $currUserLastname = $_.sn
    $currUserMail = $_.mail
    $currUserFullName = $_.name
    $currUserSAM = $_.samaccountname
    $currUserDN = $_.DistinguishedName
    if($currUserFullName -eq $UserFullName) {
    write-host "CSV $UserFullName matched on name"
    $userMatched=1
    if($currUserMail -eq $UserMail -AND $userMatched -ne 1) {
    write-host "CSV $UserFullName matched on email"
    $userMatched=1
    if($userMatched -ne 1) {
    write-host "$UserFullName was not found. Creating user."
    $userMatched=0
    If only i had a cool signature!! ;)

    Move below to outside the inner for-each loop:
    if($userMatched -ne 1) {
    write-host "$UserFullName was not found. Creating user."
    $userMatched=0
    so the bottom should look like
    }if($userMatched -ne 1) {
    write-host "$UserFullName was not found. Creating user."
    $userMatched=0
