How do I share or save my iMovie project/video

Everytime I try to share my video to YouTube, it says to click 'Publish' and I do. Sure enough, I open YouTube and there's nothing there. No videos, no uploads. Also back on iMovie, it says 'Not Shared' in the corner of the video. Why does this keep happening? Is sharing videos after you've made them a known bug/problem with iMovie/MacBook Pro. I also don't understand how I save my video/proejct to my MacBook, it's not in Downloads or Documents or anywhere when I search my MacBook. I can only find it when I open iMovie. Help!

Hello jazmezzer,

How can I save my iMovie Project to a DVD or Flash Drive which can be played on a PC and any DVD player

I have an iMac, purchased in January 2011. How can I save an iMovie project to a DVD or Flash Drive which can be played on a PC or any DVD player

I will give you a basic primer, not going to get to in depth, as far as parameters, size of project, or the storage size of your usb flash drive, etc.
1. you have your finished iMovie project. Under iMovie>Share menu. Choose export using quicktime.
2. make Movie self contained. This way your Mov, Mvi, etc files will be part of the movie and it can play without having to reference the events, because it is actually there.
3. so, now on your desktop ( or any where else set up quicktime to save your file) you will see a quicktime file.
Drag & Drop that file on to the icon of your USB Flash Drive, etc.
4. Details that I omitted because I admit I am not well versed. Most Likely that quicktime file is larger than your USB Flash Drive. You have to use one of quicktime compression work flows, also if you open the just created quicktime file. It will open quicktime player and under the File>Export you have to options. I have a Movie that was 42GB 1080P, I exported it as a 720P, so it would still be playable on a large screen and now the new file was less than 2.5GB.
5. Oh, no i just realized that the file should be playable on a PC, as long as the PC has quicktime for windows installled and you left that USB formated at MS DOS as it came originally, or a PC will not recognize it. Will it open up on your Blu-Ray Player that has a USB port, not sure. Since there is no menu. but, perhaps just pushing play will start movie.
Hope this is of some help.

How to change the file type from IMOVIE PROJECT to other types of file

how to change the file type from IMOVIE PROJECT to other types of file??
thank you very much for your help=]

I am not sure what you mean, but once you make a project. Then go to the share menu and you can export the project to iDVD, itunes, mobileme, quicktime.
Share export quicktime movie will allow you to export to a variety of codecs. What specific export are you looking to share the movie in? What is the final source that the movie will be displayed?

I have not been able to save my iMovie projects since I did the last update of iMove. Does anyone know why?

Any reason that I can't save my iMove projects since the last iMovie update in March?

How do you save an iMovie project as a file?

how do you save an imovie as a windows file?

You first have to format the External drive as Mac OS Extended. This can be done with Disk Utility which is located in the Utilities Folder inside the Applications Folder. Once formatted as a native Mac OS drive, iMovie will allow you to 'turn on' the visibility of the external drive. Make sure to make the hard drive visible in the Events Library by going to the View Menu > Group Events by Disk. In the Projects Folder you should also see the same drive.
Drag your Project folders to the external drive icon in the Project Library. Also drag your Event Folders to the external drive (but make sure to drag it to the icon that is visible in the Event Library, don't drag it to the Project Library drive icon).
This dragging operation will 'duplicate' your Project Folders and Event Folders on the external drive. So to make space on your internal drive, always delete the original folders AFTER you make copies of them on the External drive. In the future when you are importing video into a New Event, make sure to choose the external drive as the location for the the New Event folder. Similalrly create a new Project Folder in the external drive location in the Project Library.
iMovie doesn't have save menu, it auto-saves in the background continuously as you work on the Project. That way you don't lose any work by forgetting to save the project.

How do you send more than 1 iMovie project to the same iDVD project???

I have 3 separate movie projects in iMovie with chapter markers and am trying to send them over to ONE iDVD project. Every time I send a movie over, it creates a new iDVD project and I can't get all 3 movies in the same project.
I'm trying to put each movies as a submenu under the main menu in iDVD.
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the help Karsten...
OK, after a long night of trial and error, I've figured it out...
Issue 1: Files not showing up in the media pane--- miraculously after shutting down all open apps and then restarting the computer, my iMovie projects are now showing up in the movie pane of the media panel in iDVD...
Issue 2: Getting more than one movie project into iDVD with all the chapter settings--- a little more complicated!
In iMovie: SHARE > iDVD gives you a new iDVD project with 2 submenus: 1 with the entire movie, and 1 with "scene selections"
If you try to add a second iMovie project to the same iDVD project; it's not possible from within iMovie (at least not that I can figure out!).
You can add this second iMovie project to the same iDVD project by adding it to the project within iDVD from the MEDIA > MOVIES pane. This, however, will only add the movie and not give you the second submenu with scene selections.
To get the 2nd iMovie project into iDVD, I dragged the 2nd movie project from a finder window into the opened iDVD project. This adds the 2 submenus (1 with the movie and 1 with the scene selections) to the iDVD project.
Hope this is useful to someone else, too.
Thanks!

If the pictures are on your Desktop, you can just drag them into your iMovie project.

How to adjust the format of an iMovie project in iDVD?

Hello there,
I need urgent help for a project.
I want to adjust the format of an iMovie project in iDVD so that not only the TV safe area but the whole clip appears on the TV screen. Is there anybody able to help me?
And is it possible to add chapters, either in iMovie or in IDVD?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Later.

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iMovie or iDVD. There're iMovie and iDVD Support Communities where everybody has iMovie and iDVD. You should also post this question there.

Moving Aperture libraries while keeping iMovie project video links intact.

I am in the process of moving my Aperture libraries off my internal drive to an external drive. The problem I found is that by do so, my iMovie projects that were using video clips from the Aperture libraries now have broken source links. I have all my video clips managd by Aperture, not referenced.
The way I moved the libraries was simply drap the library files to the new desitination. I can see the original clips in iMovie's event library after the move and thumbnails are generated; but my project links are not updated.
My question is that is there a proper way doing this correctly so my iMovie project links are still intact after the move? Thank you in advance for your helps.

I have exactly the same question as the OP. I've been into digital photography for a while, and have been using Aperture for a short time, but have JUST started to shoot some video for fun. Video goes into my Aperture library, but I'm just using iMovie to mess around with the video. I export short clips to YouTube for the family to view. Eventually, I'll put these projects on DVDs and I know I'll have to delete them from the Aperture library for space reasons.
How are people handling this? Should I just move the video directly to an external hard drive, for example?
Thanks.

How do I save an imovie project that I can't export from a 4th gen ipod touch?

My daughter created a movie in imovie. We can't get it to export. It says that there isn't enough space left. I have deleted everything off the touch except for imovie. When I started there were 1.2 gb free. For some reason it went down to 110 mb free. I have it back up to 956 mb free. I have no idea what is taking up all the space. Did it partially save another copy of the movie? I just want to save her movie for her, she's 10 and is extremely upset. The movie is almost 45 minutes long. I thought maybe I could cut in half and export it as 2 movies? I have no clue what I am doing. If you can either help me export the movie OR free up space on the ipod I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Connect the iPod to your computer and launch iTunes. It will show up under Devices on the left part of the screen.
Click on it in devices and a serries of tabs will appear in the next window. Under the Summary tab you can backup the device to your computer. The other tabs allow you to sync to or from the iPod to the computer or computer to iPod.
Your goal is to remove apps and data from the iPod until you have enough room on it to finish and export the movie. Once you've shared it to iTunes you can remove it from the device to free up space and restore your data from the backup.

How to Save an iMovie Project in 720HD?

After creating a new project in iMovie 11, I attempted to export it in HD 720p. Whether I chose Share/iTunes or Share/Export, the HD options (720p and 1080p) were greyed out. Large (960x40) is the highest resolution format available. The new project was created as Widescreen/24fps-Cinema. The source material was shot on my iPhone 4 at 1280x720/24fps. Why isn't 720p available as an export option? DId I miss a step that would enable the HD options?
I know that I can select Eport using QuickTime to export into 720p format. It uses my QuickTime Pro v7.3 to do the work. Unfortunately, if I upgrade to Mountain Lion, that version of QuickTime Pro will no longer work, so I want to be able to learn the correct process for iMovie.
Also, I have learned that when I use 30 fps source material, the 720p option is available. This is nice to know, but my iPhone chooses 24fps or 30 fps without giving me a choice, so I can't always guarantee the frame rate when I shoot movies with it. I don't understand why the iPhone isn't consistent. I'd love to get an explanation for that, too, if possible.

If it's just under 2 hours long ..it'll fit. (If it's just under 1 hour long it'll fit, and possibly appear to have slightly higher quality.)
iDVD compresses video for duration, rather than anything to do with file size.

How do I share via email an iMovie that is 39.3mb?

how do I email a imovie that is 39.9 mb?

Movies and other files of that size are just not practical to email.
Upload the movie to a server that both you and the recipient can reach. There are tons of them now...you can put the video on YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Dropbox, Box.com. YouSendIt, Google Drive, Amazon Drive, etc. using free accounts, and links can be private.
Then you just send your friend a nice tiny email with the link, and they can go view or download it.

IDVD is missing in my Mac pro. How do I burn a DVD from iMovie project?

I have a new Mac pro and prepared a project in imovie. When I activated the share button for iDVD in iMovie, the application was not found. Any idea on how to burn my movie project to a DVD?

If you are still within your 15 day return period, nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. (Ask to speak to a senior advisor.)

If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk (don't get the download) for about $39.
