how do i record video on the new iMovie on my mac

Hey baseballgod44,
Great question! The following article outlines how to record video with the FaceTime HD Camera in iMovie (2013):
iMovie (2013): Record video with the FaceTime HD camera

Record live video directly into iMovie
1. Do one of the following:
          - To record using the built-in camera: Click the Import button in the toolbar.
          - To record using an external iSight camera: Connect the iSight camera to your computer with a FireWire cable, and click the Import button in the toolbar.
2. In the Cameras section of the Import window sidebar, select the camera you want to import from.
A live video image from the camera appears in the Import window.
3. Do one of the following:
          - To choose an existing event to contain the video: Choose the event from the “Import to” pop-up menu at the top of the Import window.
          - To create a new event to contain the video: Choose New Event from the “Import to” pop-up menu, type a name for the new event, and press Return.
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • How do I create a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

    How do I creat a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

    I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX.  It's kinda hidden in the "share."  Go File/Share/Add Destination.  You want "Save Current Frame."  After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

  • How should I best import HD Videos from the new iPad to my mac without loosing video quality?

    The new HD video on the new iPad is awesome, but it can eat up a lot of memory in no time. I would like to know what is the most recommended way to export my ipad movies to iLife on my mac without loosing image quality, so i can free up space on my iPad.
    If I use iPhoto I notice that the file size of the video from the new iPad is a lot smaller then if I use iMovie to import the same video.
    Example: I import a 53 second video from the new iPad to iPhoto and the imported file has a file size of 143 MB in iPhoto. (iphoto save the video as IMG_0048.mov)
    I import the same video to iMovie manually and the imported file size is 843 MB in iMovie. BIG DIFFERENCE. (iMovie saves that same video as clip-2012-03-20 16;13;08.mov)
    Now to really be confusing: I go to Image Capture program and locate the file manually on my iPad and is has the same name and file size is what is in iPhoto.
    So either iMovie is making the File a lot larger when it imports to an event, or the file I'm looking at is actually the iPhoto version that I get because I sync with iPhoto.
    The second issue that I have is that now I have 2 videos on my hard drive: one in iPhoto, and one in iMovie for a combined data storage of close to 1 GB.
    I would like to be able to import ALL my iPad recording into iPhoto and then delete the video from the device when done.
    But if I loose video quality, I'm not happy about that. Secondly, by importing video from my iPad into multiple iLife programs, I'm creating duplicates with sometimes different quality. Any suggestions? is there a setting in iPhoto that can do all this for me?

    Don't use iphoto to deal with movies. it's not really meant for that. use Quicktime or iMovie to work with your videos

  • I have some unfinished projects in an old iMovie format. How can I finish them using the new iMovie? When I open them it says it doesn't support powerPC format

    I have some unfinished project in an old iMovie format. If I try to import them to the new iMovie to finish them it says I can't because it does not support powerPC formats. How can I save them???

    Right click on the icon and choose "Show Package Contents".
    Drill down through the folders to find your original source clips (probably .dv files). Drag them to a new Desktop folder to import them into iMovie.

  • How do I watch video on the new iPod Nano?

  • How do i get videos onto the new ipod?

    haven't been able to figure out how to get videos onto the ipod. tried to click and drag a home video into the video section but that didn't work. any help would be greatly appreciated.
    also, where do i go to get an episode to download onto the ipod?

    Hi Sebastian,
    Use iTunes to put videos onto your iPod. Make sure you have the newest version (by pressing Help, then selecting check for iTunes updates).
    Once you are sure you have the newest version of iTunes, just press File -> add file to library, or drag your video file onto the iTunes library. Then all you need to do is update your iPod.

  • How many HD 1080p Videos should the New MacBookPro Retina Display (2.6GHz i7, 8GB Ram, Flash Memory) should run Flowlessly/Smoothly??

    Dears at Mac Support,
    I am a Visual Artist, and I use my MacBook Pro for live Visual/Video Mixing and effects. Since I moved to this new club, i need to run all my Videos on HD 1080p Format. I already had the Latest MacBook Pro (2.3GHz i7, 8GB RAM) with the Stock HDD (5,700 RPM), and it performs beautifully, The only issue was Running more than 1 HD 1080p Videos, where you can feel the slowing down of the Videos. The Solution is moving to SSD Drive where I can run 2 or more HD 1080p Videos Simultaneously (Over Layered).
    Instead of investing in an SSD, i preferred buying the new MacBook Pro Retina Display (2.6GHz i7,8GB Ram, 512GB Flash memory). Everything about the new MacBook Pro should support my work and give me a better Performance. Unfortunately, I am not able to run ONLY 2 HD 1080 Videos to gather! The result is being Breakdance style video, like it's cutting and continuing the videos. Compared to my Old MacBook Pro (2.3GHz i7, 8GB RAM), on the old one the Video slows Down but does not Leg or Cut
    Is there a Solution for this issue? Or i simply did the Most useless investment of my life?
    PS: Both Running on OSX 10.7.4, and both are running on the Video Codecs and Visual Performance Software (Modul8 2.6.4)
    More Details: Video format is .MOV (Photo JPEG)
    If there is any more details you would need, please do let me know.

    This is not Apple Support, nor are they able to be contacted by e-mail.  This is a user to user forum, and we can try to help you as best as possible. Apple moderators can move your thread to a more appropriate forum if needed.
    A faster hard drive connection is available through your Thunderbolt port.  See what you can connect via Sonnet's adapter:
    http://www.sonnettech.com/product/echoexpresscard34thunderbolt.html
    An eSATA or Thunderbolt hard drive would probably be at least faster than the internal drive, and an external SSD may be cheaper than an internal for your notebook, and even faster.

    Any files of the iTunes supported QuickTime formats can be dropped into the Library in iTunes just like a music file. If the file is Real Player or Window Media format then iTunes won't process it.

  • How long can the iPhone 3GS record video before the battery runs out?

    My father invested in an iPhone 3GS Tripod adapter for his tripod, for some conferences and lectures. He has a 16GB 3GS, which will record about 8.6 hours, according to another thread I've read about on here. But he doesn't really want to bring the USB/Adapter cable with him, and have to worry about finding a power outlet. Assuming his phone is on full charge, and bluetooth/wifi are shut off, and brightness is kept a bit dim (not too dim) - can anyone give me a round about answer of how long the it will record video before the battery dies? This function is today, so timing is critical. I will have him take the charger/usb with extension cable just in case. I'd appreciate anyones input

    Not sure if the battery will die before or after your done recording on the iPhone.But most sites are claiming that you can record up to 2GB per video.I just recorded a one minute clip,and it rounded off to about 34MB.So if you devide that,it rounds off to around an hour of recording video...But take that with a grain of salt,I'm not good with math lol

  • How do you record video with usb mic and have the audio from garageband be the sound when recording and not just your normal voice but garage band effects for youtube?

    How do you record video with usb mic and have the audio form garageband be apart of the video when recording, meaning the audio from garageband and echo  and not just your normal voice for youtube post?its not add the garageband audio its just normal voice from mic no  effects is going thru?

    Hi Life93,
    What you describe would be possible by recording your video, then removing the audio from it and adding audio from GarageBand once the video is in iMovie (I presume here that you are using iMovie for your video production. Other applications may need different methods.)
    See this thread on how to remove the audio from a clip in iMovie -

  • Does anyone know of a good online video instruction on how to put together a photo slideshow in the new iMovie version. I found uTube videos using imported videos, but I want to use photos in iPhoto.

    Does anyone know of a good online video instruction on how to put together a photo slideshow in the new iMovie 11 version. I found uTube videos using imported videos, but I want to use photos in iPhoto. I'm very familiar with how to do this in the pervious version, but it's no so intuitive in the new version.

    Has anyone tried this one.. I am not sure if I am allowed to post information about other products... so if I am not please delete this part of my message.

  • How do I migrate my old iMovie video files into the new iMovie software version?

    When my computer recently updated to the most recent software version, specifically the new iMovie software, all of my past iMovie files filmed and saved under the previous software became 'unplayable' in the new iMovie version. How do I import and update the old files to make them playable and part of my iMovie library?

    You have to upgrade your iMovie 9 projects from iMovie 10 before you can use them.  See:
