How do I import a screenshot into iMovie?

How do I import a screenshot into iMovie?

If it's in your media browser, just drag and drop. Likewise, if it's in your desktop. If you're trying to take a screenshot out of a footage, right click the desired frame and choose the appropriate option.
Hope this helps. Regards,

  • How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done?

    How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC. 

    No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either.  It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected.  VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB.  All of which cannot be opened or selected.
    Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC.  Is that the same?  Thank you for your time and response.

  • TS3355 I loaded video from an external hard drive to my desktop. How do I import the video into iMovie 09? I tried "Import Camera Archive". Didn't work.

    I loaded video from an external hard drive to my desktop. How do I import the video into iMovie 09? I tried "Import Camera Archive". Didn't work.

    It depends on the type of video. iMovie will only import video that it can edit.
    In general, you would use FILE/IMPORT MOVIE...

    how can I import vob files into imovie 09? i have some home movies on dvd that i want to edit.

    You might want to look at this one too.  Very easy to use and it doesn't require the Apple MPEG-2 playback component.

  • How can i import mpeg files into iMovie?

    how can i import mpeg files into iMovie?

    Where are your MPEG stored?
    I have hundreds of old MPEGs stored in my nexternal drive, but unfortunatly i was not able import them into iMovie. I did the following trick: I created a new set of a folder and subfolder and called it "Virtual_CAM/DCIM" and saved it on my desktop. Then went to Disk Utilities>File Menue>New>Disk Image from Folder. Then selected the folder on my desktop and clicked enter. I moved the .dmg file to my external (or just keep it on your desktop). I clicked on the .dmg file. It shoud be visible on the Finder. Open your Imovie and import as you do from your camera.

  • I have 8mm family footage now on a DVD how can I import this material into imovie

    Can anyone help I have old 8mm footage of the family which is now on a DVD how can I import this onto imovie?

    You need to convert the DVD .VOB files. This can be done with Apps like Handbrake or I prefer MPEG Steamclip.
    Basically what you do is insert the DVD into the drive. If DVD Player opens, quit the player. Then double click the DVD on the desktop. There you will find a folder called Video_TS. The .VOB files are there. You do not need the Audio_TS files or Folder.  So what ever App you use, point them to that Folder and convert them to highest quality conversion.
    One thing to point out though about MPEG Streamclip, you need to have Quicktime 7 installed and additionally you need a file called QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component. Make sure you read about it at the Squared 5 website under "Requirements". It may sound like alot of work, but once you set it up MPEG Streamclips works nice.
    Hope that gets you started.
    Additionally, if you have another machine around with Leopard or earlier, you may already have the MPEG-2 Playback Component. It would be located in /Library/Quicktime folder.

  • How do I insert a screenshot into iMovie

    I'm currently working on a youtube video.
    I've taken the screenshots I need for my video, and I need to insert them somehow into iMovie.
    iMovie is the program I am going to use to make my video, since it has lots of different resources to use, effects, titles, it's amazing!
    It's for a virtual world I play (I'm 9.) ourWorld. I'm making Safe & Sound by Taylor Swift.
    Can anyone help me?
    I  need to insert the screenshots I took on my Mac into iMovie to make this video everyone is waiting for!
    Thank you!

    There are 3 ways to do it.
    1) Drag the screen shots into iPhoto and then restart iMovie. You can drag them in from the Photo Browser.
    2) If you have Aperture, drag the shots into Aperture and then restart iMovie. You can drag them in from the Photo Browser.
    3) Put the screenshots in a Finder folder. You can drag from the Finder into your iMovie Project. If you do it this way, make sure it is in a folder that you will not move for as long as you want to edit this movie.
    Once they are in iMovie, use the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool to set them to FIT. This will let you see the entire screen shot in your movie.

  • I transferred home movies from VHS to DVD. How do I import the data into imovie.

    I transferred home movies from VHS to DVD. I can open the data using the DVD Player but I cannot import data into imovie.  Any ideas?

    Another option is to download the free app MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 here:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    After loading the DVD on your Mac, drag the icon onto Streamclip's window. From the menu choose File>Export to QuickTime then for Compression select the Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC). Adjust the quality slider from 50% to about 75% - that should give good quality at a reasonable file size. Leave other settings as they are and click on Make Movie. From the next box, choose a name for the file (it will be a .mov file) and a save location (say Desktop).
    The saved .mov file can now be imported to an Event and edited if desired in iMovie.
    Note that you may be asked to instal a file from Apple. It's named QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component for Mac OS X. It's priced at US$19.99 and is available from the US Apple Store here:

  • How to you import youtube videos into iMovie 13?

    I want to take a youtube video that a friend of mine put on youtube and import this into imovie 13 to edit it.  I do not have any of the original video that my friend shot...just the video found on youtube.  Thanks.

    Attach your iPhone to USB for syncing.
    iPhoto should automatically start.
    Import your photos and videos into iPhoto.
    Open iMovie. Navigate to the iPhoto Event in the Events list.
    You can edit from there.
    (When you open iMovie, it may ask to create thumbnails for iPhoto videos. Say yes and let it run.)

  • How to Directly Import 5d2 video into Imovie?

    Is it possible to directly Import video into Imovie 09 from the 5d2 Camera?
    Im always downloading first the files into the computer (50 min process) and then into iMovie (60 min)?
    I want to be able to bypass this step and shave down time on my workflow.

    As far as I know, MPG is not on the iMovie support video format list. In addition, according to official website, the most compatible video format for iMovie to afford is AIC MOV. Have a try to encode MPG to AIC with a powerful program. Good luck!
