How do I get software to support IMovies

How do I get software for IMoves that will support my Sony Handycam

Hi
You don't
A. You must tell - What Sony Handicam - exactly
B. Then may be someone can suggest a program that can convert the movie codec Your Camera uses to one that iMovie can import.
C. iMovie can not use plug-ins or be altered to accept all various codecs/fileformats. It's not general in that way.

  • How do I get a copy of iMovie 9?

    I reformatted my iMac hard drive with Lion. I restored from the downloaded version of Lion and therefore do not have iMovie on my system. I had upgraded to iMovie 9 but now it's not available in the App Store nor from iTunes. Does anyone know how I might get a copy of iMovie 9?

    Hi
    iMovie 9 can mean different things - What do You need ?
    iMovie History 08, 09 & 11
    NOT AN EVOLUTION FROM Previous versions but a totally new application.
    iMovie 08 (v7) 7.1.4 (aug 2007)
    A new way of storing project and an event library as well
    A totally new product in a pre-release state. Far from a working application.
    Lacks even basal functions
    No Speed-up or down or reverse
    Lot’s of video-formats lacking
    No cont. TimeLine - Bad logic
    No good for interlaced SD-video from miniDV tape aimed to a DVD release.
    (Discarding every second line makes quality as VHS in LP or EP mode = BAD)
    NO - Playback via Camera/FW - and this prevents 100% safety-backups and the use of an extra TV/Monitor as real-time Quality control (as in iM 1 to HD6)
    Color tools got much BETTER - nearly usable - even sort of a copy function
    Direct share to .Mac and YouTube
    More Cameras supported even AVCHD (need of Intel CPU)
    Do not run on G4 or older - G5 minimum
    Need of 1.9 GHz G5-Mac,
    (Can run on 1.8GHz G5 iMac if installed on external boot hard disk and speedier Mac - can’t install directly)
    Mac OS X.4.9 minimum
    QuickTime 7.2 included
    Aimed at - speed editing small video projects to be presented on the Internet - NOT DVDs
    iMovie 09 (v8) 8.0.6 (jan 2009)
    Far better than iMovie 08 but still far from good.
    Pic in pic, green screen but rudimentary
    Image stabilization - fairly good for amateur use
    Speed-up/down and reverse
    Bl/W, Old age etc
    Still - No Continuos TimeLine
    NO - Possibilities to enhance by use of third-part Plug-ins (all investments lost)
    NO - Playback via Camera/FW - and this prevents 100% safety-backups and the use of an extra TV/Monitor as real-time Quality control (as in iM 1 to HD6)
    Aimed at - speed editing small video projects to be presented on the Internet - NOT DVDs
    iMovie 11 (v9) 9.0.x - 9.0.4 (2011 july)
    Will be - Intel Only - Snow Leopard minimum Mac OS X.6.3
    YES:
    Advanced view including a true TimeLine ? Yes but rudimentary (very basic)
    True Story-board - where You even can write and prepare space for lacking material that needs to be obtained or re-shoot. YES
    Better wave-form presentation of audio and audio tools - Rubber-band - Yes
    Trailer creating tool
    ”Faces” as in iPhoto - NO - but this finds if there are people in some video-clips
    Better audio tools. Equalizer and a background audio reducer
    More Camera support e.g. 24fps
    NO
    not 64-bit only
    The Playback to Camera via FW - returns ? NO
    Full Quality to iDVD - NO - still only half - every second line - Questionable - Some indicates it to be able to loss-less Exports - Has to be proven
    Plug-in facility ? - NO
    No free text tool
    Tool to mask an identity e.g.. band over face or un-sharp area. - NO (could be obtained via Plug-ins in iM HD6 and earlier)
    Animation tool - To point on interesting object/player - NO animations refer to a totally different
    thing connected to Story-board and insert of ”dummy animations” while building a movie
    iMovie 13 (v10) 10.0.x - 9.0. (2013 autum)
    If iMovie'09 then You need the iLife'09 boxed CD-version.

  • How do I get a movie from iMovie to a dvd?

    How do I get a movie from iMovie to a dvd to be able to play it on a dvd-player? Tried exporting it but when I burnt it, it doesn't work on the dvdplayer. There is no idvd on my new macbook pro and I'm new to both mac and iMovie.

    Hi
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD

  • How can I get English language support in South Korea?

    I'm British living in South Korea. A few times now I have needed to get in touch with support but the Korean site only has Korean language. My Korean is not good enough to have a conversation in Korean. Anyone know how I can get Englsih language support in South Korea?

    Is there an official site where I can install a
    language pack for Armenian?
    Armenian reading and writing support is already included in OS X. The font is called Mshtakan. To input you need to activate one of the Armenian keyboard layouts by going to system preferences/international/input menu and checking their boxes, plus the box for "show input menu in Finder," then selecting Armenian in the "flag" menu at the top right of the finder.
    Armenian requires a modern Unicode app and will not work with Appleworks or Word X.
    OS X does not yet have an Armenian system localization (menu and dialogues).
    If you don't have the things described above on your system, let us know.

    Either use the uninstaller provided by the developer or, if there is no uninstaller, simply trash the software - be aware that some auxiliary files may remain, depending on the software.

    How do I get a movie from iMovie 10 to iDVD to burn a disc?

    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

    As with any other language, you go to system prefs/language & text/input sources and check the boxes for the languages you want, plus the box for Show Input Menu in Menubar.  Then you select the language you want from the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen and type away.  There is Help available right on the machine plus a whole website here:

    how do you get timeline view on imovie 08  and speed up a clip on imovie 08

    Hi
    You can not - Nobody else (if not a very selected few at Apple dev.group)
    TimeLine was lost in iMovie'08 and 09 and a very simple one re-introduced in iMovie'11
    Speed Change - Was omitted in iMovie'08 - and returned in iMovie'09 - BUT has to be used in a certain way - the glider/slide if used - will destroy the audio (a Known BUG - in both iM'09 and iM'11) but use of pre-set fixed no. 25% 50% 100% 200% etc. will work.

  • I have downloaded video to iPhotos but how do you get the video to iMovies

    I have downloaded video to iPhotos but how do you get the video to iMovies

    In iMovie look in the Event Library. You should see an Event named "iPhoto Videos" (assuming the videos are compatible with iMovie).
    Each time you open iMovie it will look for any new videos in iPhoto and place thumbnails in the iPhoto Videos Event. You will be given a choice as to whether you want the thumbnails generated now or later. The thumbnails will appear in chronological (date) order in the Event window. Note that the clips themselves are not actually imported to iMovie - they are simply referenced by iMovie (that is, iMovie points to the clips in iPhoto).
    Drag clips (or parts of clips) to a project. To start a new project, select File > New Project from iMovie's menu.
    Please ask if you need more advice. Otherwise, click on Help > iMovie Help in the menu. There you will find plenty of good information about how to use iMovie, including short video tutorials.

  • How do i get my videos onto imovie?

    to edit them??? do i need to change the format... how? how can i get videos from my camcorder onto the computer, or photobooth onto imovie?

    Ok so you can get the DVD onto your computer through various methods. Handbrake, MPEG Streamclip are good choices
    If you want to further edit them then I would suggest encoding with H.264, MPEG-4 seems to work with iMovie.
    If you have the source footage that is ultimately recommended if you are going to edit as the content ripped off the DVD will be compressed

  • How do I get a dvd into iMovie for editing?

    I want to edit my teaching videos. They are on DVDs. How do I get them into iMovie as all the tutorials I have seen only speak of loading from a camera?

    http://www.fcpbook.com/Video6.html
    This should help. Rather than using DV which iMovie doesn't handle well for no earthly reason, you should substitute the Apple Intermediate Codec, which may give you better results.
    DVDs are very heavily compressed standard definition media, so converting it will not make it any better.

  • How do i get a project from iMovie 11 to idvd

    I made an iMovie using 10.0.4.  How do I get it to iDVD so I can burn dvds with that movie on them? 
    What do I do?  Share to File (whatever that is.)?
    Thanks,
    Hal

    For iMovie 10 select 480p.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.  Do not move the movie file once it's been imported into the iDVD project.  Therefore place it where you plan on keeping it full time.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
