How can I export my Imovie events?

So I upgraded to 10 and I really hate that they moved everything into the Imovie Library package: it's like they don't trust us to see the raw files. I would like to export events to another operating system. Has anyone had any luck switching from AIC to another codec? Are we all stuck with Imovie forever?

The library package is one of the big improvements - it's much easier to manage and more portable than the old separate Projects and Events folders. You can see what is in a library by right clicking on it and choosing "show package contents" The package includes "Original media" which is what you would have to start from if you want to transcode your event clips differently.
I think you will find that iMovie 10 no longer uses AIC but has switched to ProRes, the same intermediate codec as is used by FinalCutPro.

How can I export an imovie in a pc format?

How can I export an iMovie to a format that will work on a PC?

Easiest was is to install QuickTime for Windows (which is free from Apple) on the PC. Then any iMovie-created file will work.
If you do not have permission to install QuickTime for Windows on your PC (this could be the case for a corporate PC, for example), then I would suggest using SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose Movie to MP4. Choose h.264 for the video codec.

How can I export an iMove Project if the Event file was deleted? (Missing Media error message)

Deep iMovie question:
I accidentally deleted various EVENT files from my iMove EVENTS folder. Yes, they are really gone ... this is NOT a matter of restoring them from the trash.
The projects are still there ... I can still watch the projects as long as I am in iMovie ... but if I try to export the Project I get the MISSING MEDIA error message.
Logic tells me that if I can view the project ... the file has to be SOMEWHERE inside my computer ... else I couldn't be watching it ... right? I mean what am I watching if not some file somewhere which has moving pictures stored in it?
So HOW do I get to something I can export? What am I watching when I watch the project?
I have iMove 08 on iMac with OS 10.6.8
Normally works great for my simple needs ... except if you move or delete an event file ...
Can anyone out there help?
thank you,
Natasya

If you don't have the original files then I'm afriad you don't have anything to work with.

How can I make a imovie event into email size segments

I recorded a 24 minute bicycle ride and the reults were good.
I imported the AVI file event into Imovie and the file is now a wopping Mpeg 4 3.78 GB. HD 1280 x 720.
I tried to share the file to email to some friends (or a segment of) but was far to big.
I tried to split clip but no matter what I do that modify menu item remains in light grey and that menu item can not be used.
In a past version I manged to do this on an earlier release. Currently I am using Imovie 10.0.2 which comes up as the currnet version.
I also now have a "Share Failed" alarm "The share operation "Theatre-SUNPRO0003" has failed. Video rendering error: -50" come up every time I use IMovie and I can not get rid of it as it keeps popping up every minute and is very anoying.
I also had the computer slow down considerably and found the problem was Drop box austomatically started uploading the huge file as did ICloud to begin with.
Any assistance would be of great help.
Computer is a 2009 MacPro with 10 gig memory and using OS X 10.9.1 and pretty fast internet connection.
Regards
Barry

iMovie does not allow any editing or splitting of clips in events. You can only do this in a timeline. Consequently if you want to split or shorten a clip you have to do it before importing into iMovie. Quicktime 7 or Quicktime 10 are able to do this.
Your movie is very big becasue of the high resolution. You can make it smaller using a lower resolution. There is a share to email option. I would not share to Theater - it creates several different version s of the movie and slows things down a lot.
If you only want to share the movie at original resolution and not do any editing, why not simply upload it directly to Dropbox (i.e. not via iMovie) , splitting it first if your Dropbox capacity is not big enough?

How do i export an imovie to a facebook group?

It is easy to export to a Facebook account, but how do I export to a Facebook Group that has restricted access? The Group under my account is a Private Group which means only members of the group can view its content, however from both my iPhone and in iMovie three is no reference to Facebook Groups of any kind.
How can I export my iMovie into my private group without making it public eg through my main FB account or via a service such as YouTube? I just want the file to be in the private group and not visible to non-members.
TIA

Thanks for your reply Matt, that is what I have been doing, but I was really hoping it would be possible to do this from the Sharing menu on either or both of my iPhone or iMovie.
I guess I shall be disappointed yet again. As so often, "So much promise, so little delivery."

How can i export video clips in iPhoto into iMovie?

how can i export video clips in iphoto into imovie?

Hello andrewmarkp,
As long as the videos are in a format that can be used by iMovie, they will appear in your Event Browser, under 'iPhoto Videos.'
iMovie '11: Use video from your iPhoto library
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2196
If you’ve imported video from your digital camera into iPhoto, it appears automatically in your iMovie Event Library (as long as the video is in a compatible format).
To use iPhoto video in iMovie:
Click iPhoto Videos in the Event Library.
The videos appear in the Event browser on the right. You can select and use the video just as you would any other footage.
To learn about importing video into iPhoto, open iPhoto and choose Help > iPhoto Help.
Cheers,
Allen

How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto to iMovie 09. I try but it only lets me import 211 out of the 311 photos I have in the slideshow.

How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto to iMovie 09. I try, but it only exports 211 out of the 311 photos I have in the slideshow I made on iPhoto.

how do i change the format to the right one?
Before you can decide what to do, you have to know what you are starting with. Sony MPEG-1 files would be converted one way while DivX or WMV files would likely be handled in another. Extraneous tracks can be removed directly with QT Pro but if you don't have QT Pro then there may or may not be other work around possibilities depending on the specific audio and video compression formats in use. The best place to start would normally be to double-clic the source file in iPhoto to open it in the QT Player. When it opens in the QT Player, check the "Inspector" window to see what it says on the "Format:" lines. This will tell you the type of audio and video content you are dealing with here. Then come and tell us so we can offer some specific conversion solutions.

How can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?

Before the latest release of iMovie I easily managed to export a project on an external usb drive and re-import such project on a different Mac... In the latest iMovie version, however, I cannot see my drive any more..
So, how can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?
Thank you in advance

I'm not sure this is the best way, but you could create a new iMovie Library, move your project to that Library, then close the library. Then move the Library to your USB drive. Then, on the other Mac, in iMovie open the Library.

How do I export from IMovie when "not enough room in Heap Zone" error code appears? How can I correct, what to Do.."export movie" insteand of Media browser or IDVD? Finalize movie? I want to burn it to DVD!

How do I export from IMovie to Wondershare Creator to Make DVD and share hour long movie when I am unable to "publish" movie on Media Browser of IDVD because the error code "not enough room in heap Zone/ " appears and function is aborted.
I shortened the movie, that is no cure...Correcting date info on clips does not pertain. Why would Apple throw roadblocks in your way without solving problems they create?
A techie made an appointment on the phone and was totally incapable of addressing the problem.
What is a heap zone????

Instead of Share to Media Browser, what happens if you try Share Menu > Export Movie... (choose Large size) and save it to the Desktop?
If that fails try Share Menu > Export using QuickTime...
Then pick Movie to QuickTime Movie, then click on Options... which is just to the right of Export
Under the Video section click on Settings...
Then in the pulldown menu at the top, titled Compression Type: Choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Then click OK. And click OK again, and save it to the desktop. Once the .mov file is created, you can import that into iDVD and most likely it will work in Wondershare Creator if you prefer to use that instead.

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 can I save my iMovie Project to a DVD or Flash Drive which can be played on a PC and any DVD player

I have an iMac, purchased in January 2011. How can I save an iMovie project to a DVD or Flash Drive which can be played on a PC or any DVD player

I will give you a basic primer, not going to get to in depth, as far as parameters, size of project, or the storage size of your usb flash drive, etc.
1. you have your finished iMovie project. Under iMovie>Share menu. Choose export using quicktime.
2. make Movie self contained. This way your Mov, Mvi, etc files will be part of the movie and it can play without having to reference the events, because it is actually there.
3. so, now on your desktop ( or any where else set up quicktime to save your file) you will see a quicktime file.
Drag & Drop that file on to the icon of your USB Flash Drive, etc.
4. Details that I omitted because I admit I am not well versed. Most Likely that quicktime file is larger than your USB Flash Drive. You have to use one of quicktime compression work flows, also if you open the just created quicktime file. It will open quicktime player and under the File>Export you have to options. I have a Movie that was 42GB 1080P, I exported it as a 720P, so it would still be playable on a large screen and now the new file was less than 2.5GB.
5. Oh, no i just realized that the file should be playable on a PC, as long as the PC has quicktime for windows installled and you left that USB formated at MS DOS as it came originally, or a PC will not recognize it. Will it open up on your Blu-Ray Player that has a USB port, not sure. Since there is no menu. but, perhaps just pushing play will start movie.
Hope this is of some help.

How can I export a still picture from a video clip?

How can I export a still picture from a video clip?

I'm able to export stills from iMovie without anything extra. I create a new project - call it Exports say. Now, in your event clip with the frames you want as stills, select a single frame and drag it into your project. Repeat for other stills you want to export. Then choose Share -> Export Using QuickTime.
In the pop-up, choose Movie to Image Sequence. Click Options and choose the image format you want. Playing with the number of stills lets you pick how many stills you want from each second of video. Hit OK and the stills will be generated in the directory you choose.
I've only done this with HD video. Don't know how well it works with lower res, interlaced vid.
HTH,
Tom

How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs?

(Fifth futile attempt in two hours, before I learned there was a Post webpage – I’m new to ApSuppCom - and after I learned that I am not allowed to update previous content, so I had to back out, make a few changes, and start over.) How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 (complete with superimposed captions and music tracks) from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs ? (Some other specs: Mac OS Lion 10.7.5; Capacity 499.5 GB; Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3; Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256MB)
I cannot do a copy (export) without various error messages appearing and the inevitable stoppage occurring. Always with the DVD Video Player final message reading, “Supported disc not available.” Advisors and Mac Geniuses at local Apple Stores have told me to try Roxio Toast. When I visited the Roxio website, and found numerous other company products, the descriptions all seemed to suggest that most of the apps shown can easily export videos to DVDs, but nothing was said about finished digital slide shows being exported. At future events soon, I hope to be handing out these finished DVDs (free) to the people in them. Any help will be greatly appreciated. A.Z.

How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 (complete with superimposed captions and music tracks) from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs ?
Aperture cannot burn slideshows to a DVD. It only can export a video of your slideshow.
In Aperture 3 you use the "Export" button in Aperture's slideshow project to render a video to a folder on your disk.
Then you use iDVD or another program to burn a video DVD.
I cannot do a copy (export) without various error messages appearing and the inevitable stoppage occurring. Always with the DVD Video Player final message reading, “Supported disc not available.”
Could you please describe the exact steps that are causing these error messages?
How are you exporting your slideshow from Aperture? Which settings are you using? And how are you importing the video to iDVD or Toast to burn a video DVD?

How can I move my iMovie app to "purchased" in my appstore account???

how can I move my iMovie app to "purchased" in my appstore account???

I would not recommend that you move iMovie files to the Time Capsule. You will not get sufficient performance for editing. For this reason, iMovie does not show the Time Capsule as an attached drive within iMovie.
If you move these files using the Finder, you will likely make the projects unusable, because the links between the projects and events will be broken.
Use a locally attached external hard drive tha is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled).
See this User Tip for how to move the Events and Projects to a locally attached drive. (By locally attached, I mean a drive that is attached to your Mac via USB, Firewire, or Thunderbolt cables.)
