How do I import movies into Imovie from my HTC sensation?

I have an HTC sensation.  am trying to use I-movie for the first time.  My flip videos are all good, but the movies that i emailed to myself from my android are not compatible with i-movie (even though they are .mov files).  is there a program that can transfer them so they are usable in imovie?

Did you try the
Menu Bar -> File -> Import -> Movies
command in iMovie?  From the dialog box, locate and select the movie (or movies) you want to import.

    You can do this with a free app called MPEG Streamclip and a $20 quicktime component from Apple.

  • How do you import movies into iMovie?

    i have imovie'11 version 9.0.8
    want to upload about 40 vidio clips to make a short film
    I click on file > import > movies
    then when i have found the folder I save to mactintosh hd and add to existing event which is new event
    I have tried checking the box to optimise video to Large - 960 x 540 and also tried unchecking this box
    and I select copy files
    after doing this I have left for at least 5 hours (both times, optimising and not) but nothing has happended and I have had to force quit imovie
    the clips I am using are MPEG movie, dimentions 720 x 576

    I have the following situation:
    Source Computer:
    MacBook Pro
          Snow Leopard
          iMovie 11
    Destination Computer:
    iMac
         Mountain Lion
         iMovie 11
    Our soccer coach took another job, but had created all kinds of iMovie projects on his MBP.  This was his own personal laptop, and we wanted the information transferred onto a school-owned Mac.  Tech copied the Movies folder under his user account to an external drive.  This folder contains all of the projects and events for the soccer season.
    Copied the Movies folder to the Public folder of the local administrator's account on the destination computer.  Tech adjusted the permissions for everyone to read-write, and applied permissions to all contents within.
    The problem is that from Finder, you can see all of the files - the .MOV files in the events folder, and you can see the projects thumbnails.  Double clicking on a project file opens iMovie, but nothing happens - iMovie opens with a blank project.
    When clicking on File --> import movies...  you can see the project names, but they are all greyed out.  The events will import fine, but the projects will not.
    I need help with this - i'm a novice at iMovie, and would like to get this situaion resolved.
    Thanks,
    Mark

  • Trouble importing video into iMovie from External HD

    I have video from my Panasonic Full HD camera.  I have already transferred the video off the camera and onto an external hard drive.  When I try to import the video into iMovie those files are grayed out.  Does anyone have any idea how to make this work?
    It is all my video of my son's first year since birth!

    It is very important that when you transferred the video off the camera, you kept all files and folders from the camera. If you did, you can open iMovie and use FILE/IMPORT FROM CAMERA ARCHIVE and navigate to the folder that contains the contents that you removed from the camera.
    In the future, open iMovie and use FILE/IMPORT FROM CAMERA. This will bring up an import screen. There you can click a button that says Create Camera Archive. This will automatically get you all the files you need off the camera, and it gives you a good backup.
    You can also import directly into iMovie from this screen.
    If you did not preserve the contents of the camera - for example, you just copied the .mts files, but did not copy the rest of the files and folders, you will need a third party app to convert the .mts files so that iMovie can read them. Two apps that people use for this are ClipWrap and Voltaic HD. They are pricey, but if you did not copy the full camera contents, this may be your best bet.

  • How do you import photos into imovie?

    How do you import photos into imovie?

    If you can open a Finder Window to your photos, you can drag them in to an iMovie project from the Finder.
    Some third party apps might support drag and drop, but I haven't got Lightroom to test it. If drag and drop from LightRoom does not work, try exporting from LightRoom into a Finder folder and drag them in from there.

    Possibly. Media Go supports a variety of music formats, some of which can be imported in to iTunes and then synced on to an iPhone, however some of its formats cannot be imported in to iTunes.
    See http://mediago.sony.com/enu/supported-file-formats/ for a list of formats supported by Media Go. iTunes for Windows supports MP3, AAC, WAV, and can import and convert WMA files as well. However iTunes does not support ATRAC, or FLAC.
    Furthermore, if some of your music has been bought from an Internet music store it might be procted by DRM. If so it cannot be imported in to iTunes.
    To do the importing you would either drag the music files in to iTunes, or tell iTunes to open them. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1347

  • Importing movie into iMovie 8. CPU runs hot but fan didn't kick in

    I was importing a movie into iMove 8.0.6 the other day. I hardly use iMovie but I know that in general when a computer render videos the CPU can hot pretty fast. I was expecting the fan kicks on pretty soon but after 5-6 minutes into a 10 minutes project I have yet to heard the fan. I opened up iStat Pro and was shocked to see the CPU was up at mid 90s and the fan was hovering around 2500RPM. It ran up to 3000ish RPM when the movie was done.
    I'm wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this before. I know the fan is working fine before I was just watching some online videos and the fan is already up at 3100 when the CPU sitting at 80C.

    Can you open the file in QuickTime Player?
    If so, click Window/Inspector, and tell us what video and audio codecs are listed by "format:".
    If the audio and video formats look ok, then I would check for chapter tracks, closed captioning tracks, etc. Extra tracks would make the movie uneditable in iMovie.

  • How to bulk import data into CQ5 from MySQL and file system

    Is there an easy way to bulk import data into CQ5 from MySQL and file system?  Some of the files are ~50MB each (instrument files).  There are a total of ~1,500 records spread over about 5 tables.
    Thanks

    What problem are you having writing it to a file?
    You can't use FORALL to write the data out to a file, you can only loop through the entries in the collection 1 by 1 and write them out to the file like that.
    FORALL can only be used for SQL statements.

  • Can't import videos into imovie from movie files

    I am having difficulty importing .mov files into iMovie.  When I go to file>import>videos, I can find my .mov files I want to move to iMovie.  It says it is converting.  The files show up in my iMovie folders in Finder but no thumbnails are showing up in iMovie.  Any suggestions?

    The audio codec looks fine. The video codec is h.264 which is usually good for iMovie, but there can be variants that iMovie cannot handle. Another interesting thing about the h.264 is that it is anamorphic, which means it stores as 1440x1080, but simulates 1920x1080 by using rectangular pixels.
    If I were trying to make this work, I would try converting it using a free tool called MPEG Streamclip, available here. I use the Beta version. http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Drag your clip into MPEG Streamclip. Then click FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. For Compression, choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Leave the audio codec unchanged.
    For Frame size, choose 1920x1080.
    Check Interlaced Scaling, and for Field Dominance use Upper Field First, but if it looks bad, you can try checking "Deinterlace Video".
    Click Make Movie. Give it a name and store it where you can find it.
    Now try importing into iMovie using FILE/IMPORT MOVIE.

  • How to input iFrame movies into iMovie

    I have a new Canon SX 50 with has something called iframe video format which is supposed to be an apple friendly way to get hi def video into iMovie. 
    I am using an iMac with iMovie 11 and for the life of me can not figure out how to get the movie file into iMovie. 
    I insert the sd card into the imac and it downloads the photos and vids into iPhoto.   But when I open iMovie and try to insert the video file it will not let me.  I have pulled the video onto the desktop and tried that way to no avail.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Gus

    First, try this. Insert the SD card. In iMovie, use FILE/IMPORT FROM CAMERA and see if it sees the card.
    If that does not work, try this.
    In iMovie, click FILE/IMPORT MOVIE and navigate to the SD card and your iframe files.

  • I have just had all my video converted to DVDs and now I would like to edit them...how do I import them into imovie?

    Can somebody help me figure out how to import my home videos from a DVD into imovie?

    That means 'reverse engineering them'!
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.
