How do i get MVI files to play in imovie?

i keep trying to get a video file to play, but it just shows up grey (unclickable) when i go to import it. could it have to do with the fact that its an MVI file? and, if so, how can i change it so it'll play?

Try downloading and installing Perian.

If you still can't import, use QT Pro to convert the movie to DV.

  • How do you get the files to play continuously?

    How do you get the files to play continuously? I created multiple slide shows in IPHOTO. I added them to IDVD and I cannot get them to play one right after another. Instead it goes to the main menu after each slide show.

    Did you add them all at the same time into the slideshow area?
    First, click on the + sign on iDVD's main menu, then select 'Add slideshow' and put all of them into the drop area. Now they will play continuously.
    Here is a visual image from Old Toad that shows multiple videos in the slideshow drop so they will play one after the other, but it is the same for your slideshows:

  • How do I get Mp4 files to play in FMS?

    I have the FMS working with .flv files but I can't seem to get .mp4 or any other format file to play using it?

    Are you by chance using sub-folders under the VOD app?  That was the mistake I made.  Example:

  • How do I get WAV files to play in Outlook Web app?

    I have a player that will play WAV files, but when I select and hold the .wav file in a mail message, the option to  "Open In.." doesn't show up and the file won't play. I'm using an iPad 2 with the latest iOS and latest Safari. When I try to play the attached file, the iPad brings up a black screen with the play button in the middle with the international NO sign ( circle with diagonal line) through it.

    I tried the Microsoft TechNet support for help but their site is completely incompatible with Safari on an iPad. You can get a Windows Live ID and navigate to the forums page on TechNet but all of the forum links pull up blank white pages on the iPad. The whole experience on the MS support site is horrible on an iPad. You'd think with over 60 million iPads out there they'd do a little testing on an iPad.
    So I'm looking for help from my fellow Mac/iPad users

  • How do I get sfz files to play in gargeband?

    How do I go about doing this?
    I moved the files to /library/audio/sounds/banks
    and yet I still can not load any of them.
    Someone help me!

    The Alchemy plugin from CamelAudio is no longer available.  You can use Szforzando from Plogue.   First install szforzando.  Then start Garageband and the plugin will be available.  (If you had GarageBand open when you installed szforzando, close it and re-open.)  To open the plugin and use it on a track, follow these steps.
    1.Select the track to use
    2. Open the Smart Controls
    3. Click the Inspector button (with an "i" on it).
    4. Below "Keyboard Sensitivity," click Plugins.  You may have scroll the window to see it, or expand the window.
    5. Select Instrument/All Instruments/Plogue Art et Technologie/szforzando/stereo.  The plugin will open.
    6. Click the "File" window, which should say "empty."  A menu pops up with three options:  import, empty, reload.  Select import.
    7. Navigate in your file system to an sfz. file and open.
    8. Now the sfz sounds should play through the GarageBand controller, e.g, command-K keyboard.

  • How do you get music files to play on iTunes 10.5?

    Every time I click on the song it shows that it's going to start playing but it doesn't actually start.  It shows that the song is at 0 seconds but the play button is on.
    I have a macbook pro.  Latest software. 

    I have obviously tried that, and it still won't play.  According to the top, it's playing, but the status bar of the song that shows where in the song it's up to isn't moving and the song isn't actually playing. The volume is turned all the way up, so I'd hear if something started to play. 

  • Some of the songs I have downloaded onto i tunes won't play when I select it to do so.  The error message I get is "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it?"  How can I get my songs to play?

    Some of the songs I have downloaded into i tunes won't play when I select it to do so.  The error message I get is "The song can not be used because the original file can not be found.  Would you like to locate it?"  When I select yes I'm sent to a screen that has my i tunes library listed.  When I select the song in question I'm asked if I would like to open the song.  When I select this option I get nothing.  The songs I have downloaded must be somewhere because they are listed in my i tunes library and on the screen I've been sent to.  I can't the songs to play however.  This is not true of all of my songs but it is true of quite a few of them.  Actually, one song is too many.    How do I get my music to play that seems to be locked up somewhere in the computer?

    Presuming they're on your computer, right click on them and then follow the prompts to locate hte file on your computer.

  • I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9.  I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track.  how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc????   Help

    I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9.  I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track.  how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc????   Help

    Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
    'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

  • How do I get FLAC files from a hard drive into my itunes

    I have a library of FLAC and shnf files on a hard drive.
    How do I get these files (grouped into hundreds of folders) into Itunes?

    iTunes cannot play FLAC files.  There are "plug-ins" that supposedly allow iTunes to handle FLAC, which you can investigate, but it would probably be better to convert the files to a format iTunes can handle, such as AAC. 
    As far as SHN files, there is not even a plug-in (the format is virtually unknown except Deadheads!) so conversion is the best answer.
    A conversion tool you can use is Switch.  You can use the newly converted files for your iTunes ibrary, and save the original FLAC and SHN files for when you use a more capable player.

  • How do i get quick time to play all videos on a disc?

    how do i get quick time to play all videos on a disc, one after another?

    Having just looked at the website, I agree its sparse in information.
    I have used VLC for  7 years when I bought my last Mac.
    Its my default video player and plays 95% of what i throw at it. It plays large HD files smoother and more reliable than any other player.
    Yes It will play QT and yes it has a useful playlist feature.
    Look at the feature page: VLC Player

  • Is there any way to get .wav files to play on iOS devices?

    Is there any way to get .wav files to play on iOS devices? I know some apps can play .wav however I was looking to have safari load a suitable player as needed, but it shows a audio file with a line across it... and does not play the file. Any workaround? Thanks,
    Fabio

    Hi James,
    That is very helpful, thanks. However, that ends up presenting two other problems...
    Initially, the original .wav file has to be downloaded somewhere, how does one download a file from Safari to the phone and then open the file with the app? Is there any way to configure iOS to always use an app for a particular file type? How does iOS handle file types? Do you know why safari does not allow add-ons? Can I configure another app as the 'default' browser?
    Once again, thanks for pointing this out.
    Best wishes

    Hey vlasta4444,
    It sounds like you'll want to change the time it takes for the computer to goto sleep from System Preferences> Energy Saver.
