How do I export a file from iMovie that is larger than 15min?

I currently made a video on iMovie that I would like to export. However everything I have tried ends with a message coming from iMovie saying the file is too long. I've heard of exporting to quicktime but in the share option i don't see quicktime. I haven't tried just putting a usb in and seeing if i can come how paste it in but i don't think that will work.
Need this for Valentines Day any suggestions would be great!

So early i tried to convert it into a file first and at first it said it didn't work. Then the file popped up, but i couldn't open it and this message popped up "To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More.". Which was not useful at all. But after a while i guess it completed exporting and i can now access it as a file. Thought I'd share my experience.

How can I create MWV file from iMovie that is compatible with Windows

Hi Folks:
I have have an iMovie project that I need to share as a WMV file that I can upload to a website that is then able to be opened in a Windows browser.
I've already created a QuickTime version that seems to work in Mac and Windows browsers. Just need a way to create a WMV file that works.
I have purchased software (Flip4Mac WMV) that lets me make a WMV file but the files that I make with that software open up in Mac browsers (Firefox and Safari) but will not open in either Firefox or IE for Windows. The windows browsers both report that the page is not available. One of the options is to refresh the page. I do this on Win 2K IE6 and the movie is played in Media Player in a pane at the left side of the browser. On Windows XP IE 7 the page just does not produce anything that is useful.
Anyone able to tell me what I should do to make the WMV files OK for Windows or some software that actually creates WMV files that work on Windows? Or is this a Web Page Formatting problem?
Is it something I am doing on the site? I am using the "embedding" technique recommended by Apple to use a JS function to embed the file in a web page as shown below: (slightly modified)
function InsertMovie(movie)
document.write('<object CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" width="320" height="256" CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">\n');
document.write('<param name="src" value="movies/' + movie +'" />\n');
document.write('<param name="controller" value="true" />\n');
document.write('<param name="autoplay" value="false" />\n');
document.write('<embed src="movies/'+movie +'" width="320" height="256" autoplay="false" loop="false" controller="true" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/"></embed>\n');
document.write('</object>\n');
This works in that the movie is presented to the Windows browsers are presented with the movie but they don't want to display it. I have two versions of the Movie and the one that's an H264 encoded QT movie loads fine in both IE and Firefox on Windows with QT installed. It is the WMV file that is not being handled as I would like.
Any help would be appreciated a great deal. In fact, I will give a registration code for RollingCredits to anyone able to solve this problem for me.
I know, resorting to bribery could be considered bad form but I am in need of a solution. And I know there are a lot of smart people out there.
Cheers
David

Are you saying that my problem is that I am not using
the correct software to create the WMV file or that
VisualHub is a less expensive alternative.
My problem seems to be that the file that I create is
not being recognized by the browser -- not that it is
not a WMV file.
As I'm sure you know, WMV, like QuickTime mov files, come in many flavors. VisualHub may give a slightly different 'flavor'.
After I made my original post, it occurred to me that Flash video is probably a more universal solution to your problem. Had you considered Flash video?
But your suggestion(s) to try VisualHub have not gone unheeded.
It's the least expensive way I've found so far to create Flash video files.

How do I export video files from iPhoto to a backup external hard drive for safekeeping?

How do I export video files from iPhoto to a backup external hard drive for safekeeping? Each time I try, the video will not play from the external hard drive.

Use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original. That should get the original video file exported. Try to export one to the Desktop first and open it with Quicktime Player. If all goes well export the rest to a folder on the EHD. How is the EHD formatted? It should be OS X Extended (journaled).

Why can't I export a file from imovie

I used to be able to export a file from iMovie to my desktop, but now it doesn't work!

Software Update may have cancelled out your QuickTime PRO license. Did you notice any QuickTime updates when you did the update?
For instance, I have a PRO key for QuickTime 6.5 that was not valid for QuickTime 7 so I had to buy a new one. My first option was to de-install version 7 and go back to 6.5 for the PRO functionality. But later on, that was no longer a viable option since version 7 was the standard for some things, so I just went and paid the $29.99 for the new PRO key.
That could be your problem. Since without a PRO key, you don't have those options available under "expert settings."
I think... (and I've been working heavily with iMovie for years-- never made the jump to Final Cut yet, though have used Motion 2 in addition to iMovie. Works for me. I did get the Studio upgrade, but am waiting to buy a MacBook Pro to use it).

unfortunately, like the previous 6 versions of GB, MIDI export is not supported. you would need to open the file in Logic in order to do that

How can I delete event files from iMovie to save disk space?

I have been shooting a lot of HD video of my son's soccer games and am now realizing some of the problems with the newer iMovie 10. It appears to not allow for partial video deletion of videos in events (really too bad because previous versions of iMovie did this really well), And, sometimes it will not actually move the deleted file to the Trash to help free up disk space on the computer. This is also a problem because I have to did around in the View in Finder mode to find the events I just deleted in order to move them to the Trash manually. Yeegads! All of this said, what I appear to have happening is a huge amount of video that I never plan to keep (most of a 90 minute soccer game does not make it into highlights -- imagine that?) clogging up my hard drive. My poor computer needs to have a cholesteral check.
Any advice on how to manage large video files 40 minute HD files within (or outside) of iMovie 10 so that I can efficiently eliminate irrelevant content and actually delete files to prevent disk overload would be greatly appreciated. I am thinking about using iMovie 9 to edit down and delete the unwanted footage and then update the files into iMovie 10 for some of its bells and whistles any problems with that?
I must admit, I think iMovie 10 is a failure in certain essential ways. It dropped Keywords, its deletion is not true deletion, and it's all or nothing when deleting an event. I have always been a huge Apple fan, but this new release of iMovie 10 has not been a good user experience for me. I have read a lot of feedback from others with similar problems and issues with iMovie 10 and would really like to understand what Apple plans to do to address some of these defficiencies in what will hopefully be a much better next version.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi PGWilli,
If you are satisfied with 8.0 then you shouldn't need 4.01 at all. As long as all your bookmarks and personal information are in the newer version, go ahead and remove the older version.

How can I export individual clips from iMovie?

I have 250 clips, but I want to export them ALL as individual clips, and not as a movie. I have taken a lot of time to select these clips from many hours of video. And I now need to get these clips to a post-production person for editing. I wish to export them all as indivudual clips, and maintaining the original order.
I can only find the way to export either a single clip, or an entire movie.
Can anyone help me on this Thanksgiving morning??
THANKS!
Jim

sorry I should have been a bit clearer.
There are three sections I wish to export individually from the one sequence.
I worked out that I could export multiple sequences within the same project, which is fine... but the ability to export separate sections from one sequence would be very useful...
Cheers,
And thanks again for your help.

How to import PDF image into Pages manuscript that is larger than the text bed margins

How do I import a PDF image into a Pages book manuscript, whose dimensions are larger than the global text bed margins? Any imported PDF image is automatically shrunk to fit within the text bed. I know I can set up a single page with wider margins and a text bed within it, but I want the image to import to a page already within the manuscript sequence, where the text bed margins are set and constant.

By default it should be dragging in as a floating image and not part of the text.

How do I export a movie from imovie to a particular mobileme album

The Mobileme Gallery option in the Share menu of iMovie does not provide for exporting to a particular mobileme album. What is the best way to do this?

You can do it any of four ways.
1) SHARE/to iTUNES
In this case you can right-click on the movie in iTunes and select reveal in Finder. Then open Facebook's video import page and navigate to your movie.
2) SHARE/to Media Browser
I don't recommend this way because it is easy to inadvertently mess up an important file if you don't know what you are doing. But if you want to, you can find your movie inside the project RCPROJECT package in the movies folder.
Then open Facebook's video import page and navigate to your movie.
3) SHARE/to Movie
You will get a dialog box allowing you to save the movie to a place of your choice. You can upload it to youtube from there.
4) SHARE/Export to QuickTime. Here you can customize the setting of your video. Unless you have a great deal of knowledge about video and audio codecs, use the above options, which create great results for Facebook.

Export mp4 files from iMovie to quicktime has no video

I have an mp4 video and import into iMovie 08. I did all the cutting and share it to the media brower (or export using quicktime). However, the video has sound but no video. Any things I need to download to fix it? I realized if I import another format video files other than mp4, everything works.

(DivX for some reason causes handbrake to crash so I didn't use that).
DivX, 3ivX, and Microsoft MPEG-4 are all proprietary compression formats. Suggest you try the TV preset for at least a "test" cut sometime. It is basically an H.264/AAC file (uses the X.264 encoder) at 2.5 Mbps. To test it just export a single chapter and see if/how it looks in iMovie '08 (or iDVD if you're not editing.) I personally prefer MPEG Streamclip w/QT MPRG component as I normally use AIC/AIFF or DV/32-bit 48.0 KHz in 16-bit (Big Endian) compression for iMovie '08/FCE/FCP source file editing.

How can I export HD video from iMovie to my Apple TV?

In iMovie I have tried:
Share>Export Using Quicktime>Movie to AppleTV
I am not given the option to change any settings from this point. It then exports to 960 by 540, which I believe is 540P (standard definition). I'm not expecting to get the 1080P it was originally shot in (I mean, c'mon, it's not even the year 2010 yet), but does anyone know if I can at least export to 720P on my Apple TV?
I have confirmed that it imported properly at 1080P.

How do I export a file from Numbers into Quicken Essentials?

When I download data from AMEX it makes a download file. Until I installed numbers I could transfer this file to Quicken Essentials. Now the download file appears to be compatable with Numbers and creates a file there. The instructions to download from AMEX are to make a Quicken-compatible file. How did Numbers intervene?

I would locate the file, then right click the file and select "Open With > Other…" :
Then navigate to, and select Quicken. Before closing the dialg be sure to check the "Always open with" checkbox :
