How best to export back to video camera dv tape?

I know iMovie no longer has the export back to tape option in 09 version. But, there must be a good way to do it anyway? Does 09 allow me to export to DV (MyMovie.dv)? If so, then I guess I could take that exported file and import it into my old iMovie 6, and then export from there back to a DV tape via firewire. If someone knows a better way, the let me know.
Thanks

You can avoid all video editors by using an app called SimpleVideoOutX:
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/samplecode/SimpleVideoOut/Introduction/In tro.html
Just download the SampleCode archive, extract the archive and look for SimpleVideoOut X.app. Just drop the video on the app icon to launch the app.
It has been around for MANY years, but not well known. This is a free app created to do exactly what you want. Caveat is, to go to DV, the video file can NOT be higher than DV resolution, or the screen with just show black on the DV camera. But it will work with any SD, or lower, resolution video file that Quicktime will play back. I have watched many videos on my TV this way, and it is MUCH cheaper than an Apple TV, with out the format issues.
You can select DVCPRO HD, Digital Cinema Desktop and FireWire as the output options. For DV, select Output=Firewire, and Mode=Apple FireWire NTSC.
There are a couple other option available at the bottom right of screen to play with, but generally, the defaults work for the majority of cases.
For extensive detail on its use, check this article:

How can I export pictures NOT on camera roll from my ipad to my iMac?

How can I export pictures NOT on camera roll from my ipad to my iMac?

Hello jcamengual,
I was having the same problem you're having - for those that don't understand... I synced photos on to my ipad which placed them inside "photos" not cameral roll. I then sold me laptop as I thought I had no need for it. When I bought my new iMac I tried to use my external hard drive which had my back up on, however my hard drive no longer works. Thus unable to retreive my photos on to my iMac!
Anyway... long of the short of it is theres no easy way. But there are a few ways. I'm currently using icloud's photo stream. As long as you have photo stream set up on your mac you can create a shared stream on the ipad with a friend. This shared stream will appear on your mac, you can then "import photos" straight from the shared stream.
Alternativley you could use something like drop box. Sync your pictures from iPad to drop box. Then download from drop box to Mac. As I said, no easy way that I have found but this does work. It just takes a long time.
Key Facts:
You can have 5000 photos inside a sharred stream
You can have 100 sharred streams
Therefore you can stream 500,000 photos - I hope you don't have that many.

I accidentally deleted my iMovie off my mac, anyone know how to get it back because it came for free and is now 15 dollars to buy back??? pls help

If you mean you accidentally removed the icon for iMovie from the Dock (the array of icons at the bottom of the window), you can add it back easily.
Open the Applications folder (if you open it from the Dock you may then need to click the Open in Finder icon), locate the iMovie program.
Drag the icon for iMovie down to the Dock, somewhere between the icon for Finder and the dashed line toward the right.
Wait for the icons at that spot to move aside, then drop it in.

Do clips need to be rendered before exporting project to video camera?

I am in the process of exporting an Imovie project back to my video camera for storage on a tape. When I start the export process I get a message that says clips need to be rendered prior to exporting. When I click the button to render clips Imovie goes through the process of rendering the clips and after several minutes the Imovie project starts to export to the camera and runs for about 2 seconds and the Imovie quits.
Imovie also gives the option of not rendering the clips.
Do i need to render the clips before exporting them to my video camera?

Does the project reside on an external drive? If so, make sure the drive uses the Mac OS Extended disk format, which iMovie requires.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4176921#4176921
The crashes are most likely occurring because of external factors, not because of a flawed rendering routine. These can include the wrong disk format, QuickTime add-ons and obsolete iMovie plug-ins.

Do i need to render the clips before exporting them to my video camera?
It may depend on what type of clips they are. If they are photos imported with the Ken Burn checkbox turned OFF — which are not rendered as they are imported — iMovie will ask to render them. Do NOT allow iMovie to render the photos at this time for there's a bug that adds lots of jaggies to the images, reducing their quality.

How do I connect an external video camera to my MacBook Pro.

Our school has an indoor graduation ceremony and has a live video feed of the proceedings brodcast from the gymnasium to the overflow seating in the auditorium. I want to connect a video camera that has RCA outputs to my MacBook Pro, have the video show on the screen, mirror it to Apple TV in another room of our school and project the picture onto the auditorium's movie screen. I know that I could just hold up an iPad for two hours, but it would be nice to have a better zoom and a smoother pan than a handheld device. Any ideas of what I would need to connect a video camera with RCA outputs to my MacBook Pro?

How about this?

How can I export an mv4 video in iMovie 10?

How can I export my project in iMovie 10 in mv4 video? THK

You can't. iMovie 10 only exports .mp4 - you will have to share then post-process. If you mean .m4v there are fre apps that will do the conversion (such as Media Converter see http://media-converter.sourceforge.net)

How to create a dvd from video camera

Can I burn the dvd straight from the video camera or do I have to first upload to iMovie?

No, you don't need to upload the files into iMovie before burning, but you had to load the files from camera onto your Mac.
What file format does your camera shot in? MTS? or MOV? Check out DVD Creator. It will burn anything (video, audio, image) onto your DVD. I've never used it myself but it gets good reviews.
See it in: http://www.appgeeker.com/convert/burn-mts-to-dvd.html
P.S.: iDVD is used to be a great burning program built-in Mac system, but now the new Macs don't ship with it! It has been discontinued. It's still available on the old iLife, though.

How do i export a single video file that also contains ac3 audio

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to export a single video file that also contains ac3 5.1 surround audio?
I can create seperate audio and video files ok, but not a single file?
Please help...
Regards
Andy

You won't be able to do this with just FCPX by itself. You should be able to use Compressor to do this, or you can use Quicktime Pro to create a single .mov file from the separate video/audio files exported from FCPX.
If you use Compressor, you can save the preset and make it available inside FCPX for future use.

How Best to Import iPhone 4 video into Premier Pro CS5 - Settings for new import "sequence preset"?

Shooting video with my iPhone 4 (ATT version) and am trying to import file into Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.3) running on Macintosh OS 10.6.6.
The problem is that I am simply guessing on how to import sequence, and the result is that I am getting motion artifacts and generally inferior quality. I am using iMovie 11 as my basis for comparison.   Not surprisingly, iMovie 11 imports from iPhone beautifully, but when I've looked around inside of it for properties, there isn't much to see.
From using Apple's built in quicktime "inspector," it is possible to see that iPhone4 video has following properties:

Seeking advice on how to smoothly and *losslessly* import/ingest iphone4 footage into PPro CS5. (I am not worried about exporting for iPhone display, which is what most of the information I can find relates to).
Thanks in advance, Michael

Wow. Thanks Colin.
When I follow your approach, I don't get the same "sequence preset" dialog box popping up.
FU question, though, the motion is frequently jagged. Is there a way to smooth out/increase the quality of the rendering?    I have 16gb ram, Mac Pro.   which is able to handle iPhone video rending fine in quicktime.   (I've tried rendering for "performance" and "memory" but both seem to produce, eh results.).

How do i get back all the camera profiles?

After I upgraded from LR 4 to LR 5, I lost all my custom camera profiles for my Nikon D800.
Any idea how can i get them back?
I am using a Mac by the way.

Where did you store your custom camera profiles?
If you mixed them in with the Adobe profiles, then at some point in the past, LR started to ignore camera profiles that were mixed in with Adobe profiles. To have those profiles seen you needed to have moved them from the Adobe folder to the Users folder that Jim shows in the reply above this one.
The profiles may still be in your LR 4 Resources folder if that folder still exists and if so then move them to where Jim indicates and they should be seen again.
If the files are no longer in the LR 4 location then they may be gone, and need to be recreated from the ColorChecker DNGs. Hopefully you still have those.

Best Practices Exporting for Web Video, Conversion Utilities

I'm new to non-linear editing and digital video in general, but extensive general video experience. I could use some guidance on the best formats/settings for exporting from Premier Pro for ultimate use in HTML 5 Web videos, and the most effective converers/setting for converting to WebM/MP4.
I've experimented with Miro, AVS4You, SmartFFMPEG, FFCoder, and Hewbo converters. All have there good and bad points; I still have issues with cross browser operation.
Who has some experience and viable options? I would prefer to us MP4 and WebM exclusively. . . .
Thanks in advance. . .
Mike

I've recently had to educate myself on this very subject for my own web site. I ended up with XMedia Recode. It's a free application that can create both MP4s and WebM versions. It's taken in every kind of file I've thrown at it so far. It offers a LOT of control parameters to tweak your image just right. And it uses the superior x264 library.

How best to import .mod/.moi video files easily into FCP?

We are struggling to import video off a SD card into either iMovie or Final Cut Pro. How do we this easily?

.mod is a MPEG Program Stream container for standard def MPEG2 video files.
.moi is a management system for playing back those files and does not contain any video.
More: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOD_and_TOD_(video_format)
You can probably convert the .mod files to an editable format like ProRes LT with MPEG Streamclip Even if that software cannot process these particular files, it is a very useful tool to have around for lots of other reasons. It is also free so you have nothing to lose.

How to attach audio back to video

I'm sorry again for maybe simple questions. I know how to detach audio from video. But after working in the audio clip, how do I put it back (attach it) to the origninal video clip. There is really no suggestion in the help function.
Second question. After I've detached audio from video, how do I unlink them from eachother so I can move either audio or video seperatly to another part on the timeline. Thx again, Pim

If the audio is connected to the video and you want to move the video only, Opt-Cmd click on the edge of the audio underneath another clip to attach it to another clip before you move the video. Or, if there's a lot of audio use Opt-Cmd-up arrow to lift the video out if the primary storyline so it's not connected to the audio, then move it anywhere you want.

How do I connect my digital video camera to my MacBook Pro?

I just bought a new MacBook Pro and I would like to do some video work. The only problem is there is nowhere to put my DV cord. Any ideas?

Hey mate!
Odds are you're probably gonna need an Adapter, unless your camera has a USB interface.
Checkout the Apple Online Store for adapters that you can use.

Zet.
