Ho do I import .iMovieTrailer file to iMovie for OSX

Hiya,
With the recent update for iMovie for iOS including more trailer styles, I have created a trailer on my iPad which I would love to edit using iMovie for OSX. So I have a bit more control and fine tuning over the trailer.
Currently the 'Scary' themed trailer is not available directly in the OSX version. Hence me starting on an iPad in the hope I can export it into the OSX version.
With a project or trailer I can press the Share to iTunes options which makes it available for me to save the project/trailer files to my desktop.
If the iMovie is a project it can be opened in the OSX version using the File --> Import --> iMovie for iOS Project
However I tried the same menu option for the trailer file and it does not work.
So a a project with the file extension .iMovieMobile is able to be imported but a trailer with the extension .iMovieTrailer can't.
Has anyone managed to import a trailer, if so I would love to hear how you do it.
Cheers,
Warren

Hiya Thanks for that,
I have just submitted this as a suggestion using that link you sent me.
I suppose if anyone else comes across this thread, please do the following:
Mark the top item in the thread as 'I have this question too'
And submit the problem/issue as a suggestion to Apple using the form at http://www.apple.com/feedback/imovie.html
The more that Apple are made of aware of the issue/feature request the more likely it will get some attention.
Cheers,
Warren

  • How to import .mst files in imovie

    Hi,

  • After I import a movie file from the camera memory card, Imovie 10.0.1 acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it worksnow?  Thank you, Filippo

    On IMac 10.9  After I import a movie file from the camera memory card to Imovie 10.0.1 it acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it works now?  Anyone know?  Thanks, Filippo

    I would like to know this too. I imported a lot of files, then Imovie crashed. I went back in and they are not in imovie at all.
    I reconnected the camcorder to import again and though they are still on the camcorder, I no longer see them in the available list of files to import. I'm sure there is some sort of simple setting somewhere that reveals all files even if it thinks they are imported.
    Thanks

  • Importing quicktime file into iMovie 11 resulting in distortion

    After having trouble importing Quicktime files into iMovie hd6, I decided to buy iMovie 11. So the file imports without squishing the image into 4:3 as it did in iMovie hd6, but now the movie has a strange strobe like flashing that is not present in the original.
    Any ideas?

    See if you can open the file in QuickTIme PLayer. Click Command-I (or WINDOW/INSPECTOR) in QuickTime Player. Tell us what is listed by the word FORMAT:

  • Hi, I can not import video files into iMovie.

    I can open iMovie however can not import video files. the iMovie application just hangs and I have to force quit to start again and once again get the same problem.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled iMovie.

  • Importing mov files into iMovie events

    Hi
    This is my first post ever on this site. Here goes!
    I am new to iMovie, but have had someone more experienced trying to help but to no avail!
    I am trying to import mov files into iMovie Events. However in the file menu there is no "events' option, so I chose 'Import Movies'. But ultimately when I click on the mov files they are greyed out.
    The version of iMovie I have is iMovie '08 - 7.1.4
    When I first opened iMovie it offered to update to the latest version, but in the end it said 'No updates available'. When I looked into this in the Apple Store, it said you need Mac OSX 10.7 or above to get the latest version. My Mac is 10.6.8, so won't support the latest version. However, can I not still use the version I have? What is wrong here?
    Any help much appreciated - thanks.
    Ermina.

    If you don't get an answer here, you might want to post your question in the iMovie discussion here.

    Hi Appleman - thanks for your guidance.
    OK RealTime Inspector: Dimensions of my clips - as I don't know which bit this is I will list everything under Inspector, including Format:
    00117
    00117
    33.30
    Format:MPEG-4 Video, 1280 x 720 millions
    AAC, 2channels, 44100Hz
    FPS29.97
    Data Size2.57GB
    Data Rate 10.20 Mbits/s
    Current size 1280 x 720 pixels (Actual)
    And re the types of tracks you mention that iMovie '08 can't import, I don't much about film clips so haven't yet made sense of this, tho I do see that the clips are organised into chapters, so presumably this is 'chapter tracks'?
    Thanks - I'll await your further instructions :-)

  • Import mp3 file to imovie

    i cannot import mp3 files to imovie - i tried via itunes but the files do not show up and cannot be dragged. any suggestion? thank you

    I have the same problem and read your response and cannot make any sense of it.
    What is the "apps area of itunes"?
    How about this? For some unknown reason, Apple requires your audio clips to be in itunes first , which is ridiculous.
    And when you put them in, imovie won't recognize them. That is just bad design all the way around. Mine are in mp3 and something called m3a, and neither is recognized by this terribly designed program

  • Import .VOB files into iMovie?

    I have copied footage from my camera (don't have that tapes anymore!) to a DVD. Now I want to import the files into iMovie to edit and so but iMovie doesn't recognize the file-formats on my DVD: .VOB
    Can anyone tell me how I can convert these files so I can import them?
    Thank you very much...

    Ok I was right, the stretching is coming from importing it directly into imovies folder. Unfortunately when I drag the dv file into imovies the quality was not as good as HB.
    Now trying the crop method directly into imovies to see if that fixes the stretching as the picture quality seemed much better, if that don't work I'll save it to my desktop using HB at 100% quality as that seems to be the best and then drag it into imovies quality.
    How, if it was you, would you convert the files back to mpeg2? Is there a free converter as I don't have QT pro? Will SC do it in good quality?
    I also thought (hate to use the pc word) but I may store the file in my external hard drive as a quicktime or divx or another format (what will give me the best quality from the other formats) and then do the conversion to mpeg2. Then use something like dvdshrink to make the file dvd size
    Gees what a bummer man! Just as well I have 2 weeks off work. Not quite the way I was hoping to spend it though!

    You might want to look at this one too.  Very easy to use and it doesn't require the Apple MPEG-2 playback component.

  • How do you import MOV files to iMovie?

    I can't import MOV files into iMovie -- from my USB disk. The icons appear grey. Any idea what might be wrong? I tried converting files to MP4 using Miro Video Converter -- but, it was unable to convert my files.

    I have already tried dragging the files to my desktop -- and, then importing them from there. Doesn't work.

  • How can i import mpeg files into iMovie?

    how can i import mpeg files into iMovie?

    Where are your MPEG stored?
    I have hundreds of old MPEGs stored in my nexternal drive, but unfortunatly i was not able import them into iMovie. I did the following trick: I created a new set of a folder and subfolder and called it "Virtual_CAM/DCIM" and saved it on my desktop. Then went to Disk Utilities>File Menue>New>Disk Image from Folder. Then selected the folder on my desktop and clicked enter. I moved the .dmg file to my external (or just keep it on your desktop). I clicked on the .dmg file. It shoud be visible on the Finder. Open your Imovie and import as you do from your camera.

  • Importing a file into iMovie

    Hi All,
    I am trying to import a file into imovie and it imports with the sound. The file was originally a MUXED file, than I used bbDemux which created 2 seperate files (video & audio) for me. I than brought them back into quicktime pro, combined them and save them as a .MOV file. The file is no longer muxxed but the sound is still missing when I import into iMovie. Any suggestions... Do I need to compress this file, and if so... How?

    The file was originally a MUXED file, than I used bbDemux which created 2 seperate files (video & audio) for me.
    What are the audio and video formats at this point? (I.e., did you simply demux the data or perform any sort of conversion as part of the process?)
    I than brought them back into quicktime pro, combined them and save them as a .MOV file.
    Are you using "Paste" or "Add" to combine the two tracks at this point? (I.e., if the files were demuxed and converted to a QT format, are you merging them sequentially or symchronized "frame-to-frame" here? If not performing any conversion as part of the demux process, switch to an application/utility like MPEG Streamclip that does both as a seamless process that produces an iMovie compatible file in a single step.

  • Cannot import mp4 files to iMovie anymore

    A few weeks ago I was able to import mp4 files to iMovie. I've encoded the files with Handbrake first.
    But now, I've downloaded a mp4 file (and then to be sure encoded this one too) but can't import it in iMovie.
    How is this possible? They are all in the same mp4 format, but my last one doesn't work. It won't even play in Quicktime..
    In the image below, you can see that the upper file can't be selected while trying to import it into iMovie.

    Hi Misstarretje,
    Have you read this article about how to import all kinds of mp4 files to iMovie ?
