How can I get my personal home videos into iMovie?

I REALLY wanted to make my sister a special birthday video with home videos. I put the home videos which are on DVDs into my laptop and I tried just about everything, but nothing is working to convert these so that they can go into iMovie. Can someone PLEASE help me? This is super stressful. -__-

This tip will show you how to import your home movie on DVD into iMovie 11 for editing. It will not work on commercial, copy-protected DVDs. (Ripping commercial DVDs is against the Terms of Use of the Apple Discussions).
DVDs are encoded by iDVD into MPEG2, which iMovie cannot edit. So you need to convert the DVD into a codec that iMovie can edit. For highest quality, I recommend that you convert the DVD to Apple Intermediate Codec. There is a free tool called MPEG Streamclip that will do this. You will also need to install the Apple QuickTIme MPEG2 Playback Component.
Here are the details.
1) Download and install the Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component ($20) - available online from Apple.
2) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free).
3) Start MPEG Streamclip
4) Insert your DVD into your Mac. If DVD Player or Front Row starts automatically, quit those.
5) Open a Finder window. Navigate to the DVD.
6) Drag the Video_TS folder from your DVD and drop it into MPEG Streamclip.
7) If MPEG Streamclip offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes.
8) Use FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (or h.264 if you prefer)
9) Optional steps.
9a) Optional: You can deinterlace your footage in this step, if you like. If you don't know which is best, try a short clip both ways. I usually do not deinterlace.
9b) Optional: If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
(let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
9c) Optional: If you don't want to make one huge clip out of your DVD, you can make smaller clips by using MPEG Streamclip. Move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then do steps 8 through 10 and repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
10) Save the resulting file in a place where you can find it, like your Desktop.
11) Open iMovie.
12) In iMovie, choose FILE/IMPORT/Movies... and choose the file you saved in steps 8, 9, 10.
13) iMovie will generate thumbnails and you can edit.

Can I "re-synch" audio to video using iMovie?

I purchased a Pinnacle Video Transfer gadget to convert VHS tapes to DVD. I just converted a 4 cassette series using what I consider the exact same procedures for each cassette and 2 converted almost perfect, but for the other 2, the audio is completely out of synch with the video. Can I use iMovie to fix the files? Somehow I think it should be a simple procedure, but I can't figure it out.

make your 'video' (still, title, whatever) as long as your audio track

How can I open a Movie Maker video on iMovie?

I'm trying to transfer a movie maker to the imovie? is it possible? how? thanks(:

The 2 options for saving a video file from Movie Maker are either DV-AVI or WMV. To create a Mac-compatible video file, open the MSWMM file in Windows Movie Maker, save the movie at the highest quality setting WMV or preferably as a DV-AVI format file. Import this finished AVI or WMV file into iMovie or other Mac video editing application.
After the MSWMM file saving as AVI or WMV file in our PC, you can play the WMV/AVI files on your PC and convert them to another video format or burn to DV

How can you create a jpeg from video in imovie 13?

In imovie11 you could hit share, convert using quicktime, and then select mov to jpeg or gif. that option is not available in imovie13? Anyone know how to create a jpeg or gif in the new imovie?

When you say you would drag the image itself into the Swatch Palette and it would show the image itself? How would then use this swatch? Can you give an example of what you would apply a jpeg to as a swatch? The only palette that I can think of off the top of my head that you can drag a jpeg into and have the icon appear as the jpeg is the Symbols Palette. Is is possible that you were using the Symbols Palette in the past and not the Swatch Palette?

How can you set up more than one device on iTunes? I have an iPad, iPod, itouch and iPhone. I don't want the same on all devices. I have all my music/videos on iTunes on my mac book pro. Can you set up separate folders for each device and drop in what ever music/videos from the main iTunes library?

In itunes it is called syncing and you can choose exactly what content to sync to all devices and it can be different for all of them

How can I download a 18 minute video I recorded from my iPad to either email or youtube or vimeo I keep getting the message the file is too long.

How can I transfer a 18 minute video I recorded on my iPad camera app to email/youtube or vimeo? I keep getting the message the file is too long do want to send clips?
Thanks

Youtube usually had an 8 minute length cap, which may be part of your issue. Also at 18 minutes that is probably a gig+ file size, which will also take a long time to upload and may be another part of the issue.
Edit it down as jim suggested. Or you may need to use something like dropbox, to get it off your ipad and onto a computer where might have more options to edit it down or size it down.
If it's just file size you can transcode it into a smaller file - a lower quality MP4 for example. If it's the length that's an issue for youtube, you'll need to break it up into a couple different files and upload part 1 and part 2

How can I extract a piece of video from a DVD ?

Dear all,
I recorded a DVD of a TV broadcast. I'd like to get an extract from it and use it in a presentation later (such as powerpoint).
How can I extract the piece of video ?
Is is possible to record it with quicktime (for example) or any other application ?
thanks for your help
Didier

MPEG Streamclip and the Apple MPEG-2 component will allow you to edit the VOB files off the DVD and export to MPEG-4. Searching here will provide this answer several hundred times as it is asked a LOT. More so for iPod users. You cannot export or edit and then export MPEG1/2 with Quicktime unless you do not need the audio as there won't be any.

If I download a video from my video camera to a new (current 1/12) iMac 21 inch, how can I burn it to a DVD using the computer itself. Is this possible? Do I need to buy additional software. Two salespeople at the Apple were a little confused about this.

The DVD recorder I'm referring to is one I've use for years. It is not attached to my aging iMac in any way. I simply play the video from my camcorder (mini-dv tape based Canon HV20) into the DVD recorder and create a DVD that can be played in any DVD player. I can only do minimum editing so what goes in is what I get. This has been fine for creating dupes of the various things I shoot.
If I buy a new iMac (21 inch), I'd like to be able to download the video to the iMac through iMovie, work with it to whatever degree I wish, and burn it to a DVD that can also be played in any DVD player -- or to use as a master to dupe copies.
What I'm understanding from you and others is that this would be possible if Apple had included iDVD in the software that comes with the iMac, or if I purchase the iLife Family Pack, or buy the correct version of Toast. I'm hoping I can persuade Apple to sell me an iMac with iDVD installed.
Essentially I want to move from a basic process of creating DVD copies to the more sophisticated process of creating one from an iMac.
Thank you again for your help and wisdom.

How can I add time to my video?

I have an animation that I rendered out of 3DS MAX. It took 32 hours to output. The animation has movement, then freezes, then moves again. ect, ect... Currently the time where it is "frozen" is about 2 seconds. I need to extend that to 4 seconds.
How can I take a section of video and stretch the time it takes to play that section.
Other useful information. The whole animation was rendered as an image sequence. If all else fails, I could chop up the video, inset single images where I need more time and stretch the length of that image and continue the video on the other end of that image. I need to do this about 10 times...so the easiest way for me will be the best way.
Thanks,
Dean

Do you need to maintain an image sequence? Usually the answer to that is no.
Convert to a movie format and just use timeremapping to give yourself some stretches. You just set hold keyframes in the time parameter.
This can also be accomplished by precomposing the image sequence and applying time keyframes to the precomp.

How can I determine the type of video out connector I need?

Howdy,
I have a white macbook purchased Jun/2008. I want to connect to a TV but don't know what adapter I need. How can I determine the type of video out jack my macbook has?
System Profiler says the model identifier is "MacBook 4,1". Under Graphics/Displays the only thing it says about the "Display Connector" is that no display is connected. Too bad it doesn't tell me what type of connector it is. If I knew the name of the connector I'd probably be home free. But it seems like every macbook model has a different video connector (since the state of the art has advanced over the years) and I haven't been able to keep up with the names.
Now, I have a 6" long adapter that will convert this connector to VGA. And searching the Apple store for VGA adapters, the existence of mine says my connector is might be one of "Mini DisplayPort", "Apple Mini DVI", "Apple DVI", or "Apple Micro-DVI". But then there is also the connector at
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8639G/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
and that looks like the one I have. But unlike the other adapters, this one is just called a "VGA Display Adapter". Does the connector have a name? How can I find adapters that have that same connector?
I know I could use the adapter I have, plus a VGA to VGA cable, to hook up to a TV. But the quality of the VGA signal is poor in the digital world. My goal is to hook up to the TV via HDMI. Is this even possible? By which I mean, will my macbook generate the signals necessary to be able to be converted to HDMI?
Thanks for any help,
Zebulon T

Thanks, Ded,
You're right, the cable that I have won't work. I't from my previous, 2004 iBook. This is pretty embarrassing... I looked at the cable but didn't bother to try plugging it in.
Looking at the close-up picture of the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter, that does look like the right connector. So I have Mini-DVI, and the other apter you pointed to can convert this to DVI. I'll take a look to see what makes the most sense, connector wise, downstream from that.
Thanks very much.

How can i make a free facetime video call? There's always appearing that my provider might charge for the call?

How can i make a free facetime video call? There's always appearing that my provider might charge for the call?

If you make a call then tap the Facetime button to connect Facetime, the duration of call up to Facetime connection will be charged under your regular airtime. However, duration during facetime conversation will not consume airtime.
But if you tap the Facetime button on the Contact Page, then the whole duration will not consume airtime.
For Facetime to work, both parties must be connected to wifi.

How can i print out more that one invoice ?

Hello All,
How can i print out more that one invoice?
Regards,
Luke

Hi,
When you are in billing document & click on "issue output to", you get a window having tab"print options"
click on this by selecting your output type. In the feild "Number of messages" you enter how many times you want the print to be printed.
This will help you.
Additionally you can also write logic in your print program if you want the print to be fired some fixed number of times. (eg 4 times), this can be done by your ABAPer.
Hopw this helps you
