How can i edit an iMove someone has sent me via email?

A colleague was working on an iMove trailer today and asked if I would do a bit of work on it at home. They emailed it to me but now now when i open it up it just plays through quicktime. I really want to get it into iMovie to edit it a bit... any suggestions?
Thanks

iMovie is an Application that can handle several types of video files. It is not a file format in and of itself.
If you have the particular video format the file is set to open with Quicktime, then it will open with Quicktime.
You can Command click (right click on a 2 button mouse) on the file, and then click on Open with, and find iMovie.
Alternatively, you can simply open the file from within iMovie itself.

  • How can I find out if someone has stolen my Apple ID?

    Hi there,
    I have updated my Iphone with the latest version of the Itunes. I tried to log on using my Apple Account and it didn't recognised my password. Then I used my computer to rset the password. I answered all the security questions and I received a notification on my e-mail confirming that my password has changed.
    I tried to log on then and it said that my user name doesn't exist or doesn't recognise it. I tried to answer the security questions again and my birthday doesn't match? How can I find out if someone has stolen my ID. I need to download my App's previously purchased and my credit card details is in there.
    I am using an alternative Apple Account to post this message.
    Please, help.
    Many thanks,
    Francisco.

  • How can I edit an iMovie 10.0.3 project on a different computer with an older version?

    I am trying to caption a video using the Titles feature. However, 10.0.3 has a bug that won't allow font changes in titles, which is making the captions inconsistent in terms of size and font, which looks terrible. How can I fix this? Is there any way to share the project with a different computer with an older version of iMovie, to make the edits there? So far, the video will transfer but the other project files (including the captions) won't open in the new version.

    You can't use a project created in iMovie 10 with earlier iMovie versions.  If you are only adding titles you could always re-import the video into a Mac running an earlier version of iMovie or share the iMovie 10 video to file and import into the earlier version.
    Some titles in iMovie 10 do allow changing font and size though.  Its a matter of trying out the various options.  If you are running Yosemite its worth upgrading to version 10.0.6 which I think improved title adjustment options as well as a number of other things.

  • How can I edit an iMovie project created on one machine on a different one?

    I created an iMovie on one MacBook, and want a colleague to edit it.
    I created a dropbox folder, moved all the files there; i can see them on the other Mac, but the project doesn't show up in the project window in iMovie on the other Mac and I can't open it there by browsing to it in Finder...
    Can anyone help?

    I think you can transfer an iMovie for iOS project from the iPad and edit it on iMovie on the Mac. This works fine.
    However, you cannot start a movie on iMovie for the Mac and transfer it to iMovie for the iPad.
    Think of it this way.
    Say that iMovie for the Mac has 1000 features*, and iMovie for the iPad has 400 features*. These 400 features map one to one to an equivalent iMovie for Mac feature. Because there is a good mapping, you can transfer and edit.
    But if you go the other way, iMovie for Mac has 600 features for which there is no corresponding feature in iMovie for iPad or iPhone. So there is no way to edit an iMovie for Mac project on the iPad.
    * I made these numbers up for illustration purposes.

  • How can I edit a form that has "Extend Features in Adobe Reader"?

    I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and added Extend Features in Adobe Reader. I need to edit the form, but "Save a Copy" isn't removing the "Extend Features...". I get an error message that I can't edit the form & to "save a copy" in order to edit. What can I do?

    When I saw the responses, I pulled out an old version and started over. I already deleted the one that wouldn't revert from extended functions and the copy I created to edit it based on removing extended functions with "save a copy". Thanks anyway. I'd love to know why it wouldn't remove extended functions.

  • How can I edit the title or body text of received email?

    I read somewhere in this forum a long time ago that, in Mail, you cannot edit anything within received email for security reasons.
    With Eudora, I have always done things such as reformatting the body text of received email by applying colors or making text bold, etc., in order to make the email useful to me.
    Is there a way around in Mail to edit either the title or body text of received email?

    About a month ago, I spend zillion hours to migrate from Eudora to Mail.
    Eudora has been wonderful to me since Day 1 back in the early 90's. But, it has been discontinued as a commercial product. I had used the Japanese version of Eudora for several years, but it did not like communicating with Exchange at work.
    I tried and tried various email clients before settling on Mail.
    When I pictured interactions among my Mac, iPhone, and whatever email client I choose, Mail was just the simplest way. But, Mail is not Eudora. And, I dearly miss Eudora.
    If there is no way to alter the contents of received email in Mail, I would have to adopt your approach on a case-by-case basis.
    Thanks for your help, though.

  • Hi there i know someone has sent me an email, but it hasnt come thru on my email account how do i check for issues

    Hi there
    I am experiencing some issues with the email.  Up until several days ago i was recieving emails from a company to do with work, now i am not recieving any of these emails but am getting everything else.  I need to make sure that the issue is not from my end.  I know that the company uses windows and i use mac. I have tried to get several people from the company to send thru to me an email for test purposes, however even these havent come thru. I am unsure as to what is happening and if anybody could help I would really appreciate it.  I am going out of my mind, as the only way i get work is thru email, and with one company unable to send me work I could lose my job!!! Stressed.

    have checked spam nothing which is what worries me!  I have recieved emails from these people before the 26th of sept but after that i know they have sent me emails that i havent recieved.

  • Importing AVCHD and DCIM folders into iMovie that someone has sent me. They live on my desktop. How do I bring them into an event library?

    Someone has sent me the AVCHD and DCIM folders to import into iMovie. They live on my desktop. How do I bring them into an event library?

    DCIM contains only stills.jpg ...
    AVCHD is a highly complex file structure:
    the 'video iself' is within STREAM as .mts, plus corresponding .cpi files in the CLIPINF ...
    if the structure is intact, you go via File/Import/Camera Archive …
    WITHOUT such a complete structure, the mts are not readable for iM and the automatic conversion routines don't get triggered. you have to manually convert/rewrap with 3rd party tools.-
    the pics/jpegs can be imported via Finder/drag'n drop.-

  • How can you edit a previously burned DVD from an older iMovie app?

    I converted VHS home movies to DVD years ago on the origonal iMovie app.  How can I edit those DVD's now?  Do I need a third party app to convert the DVD files for use in the new iMovie?

    Yes, you need to 'reverse engineer' the highly compressed mpeg2 format of the DVDs.
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:

    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:

    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • How can I edit pictures (red eye) and camera-made videos (orientation)?

    How can I edit pictures (red eye) and camera-made videos (orientation)? The pictures are now in my documents, taken from another laptop. Apple has automatically orientated photos, but not the videos. I've looked at past messages on red eye, but cannot even highlight an area, as suggested in the answers. Need I put the pictures etc in another folder in order to edit?

    Use iphoto for the photos and iMovie for the video.

  • How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
    Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
    You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
    The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
    Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
    Have fun.
