How do I split a project in IMovie into two projects?  When I try to burn a DVD RDL in IDVD, it tells me the movie is too long.

I am running  IMovie 8.0.6.  (OS X Mavericks 10.9.5) How do I split a project into two projects?  When I share it in Media Browser to IDVD, and try to burn a DVD- RDL, it keeps telling me the project is too long.  Do I split it in IDVD and how do I do that?

AppleMan  Thanks very much for the information, however I could't make it work. I followed your instructions to the letter, in fact I tried every which-way. I created a dedicated file into which I copied and pasted the project from "package contents"  but it was still greyed out when I went to retrieve it. I also found that the file size was reduced to only a few Kb.  Any further step-by-step instructions would be appreciated as I am obviously doing something wrong.  Babowa  It appears that in imovie everything has to be "finalised" before it can be used or shared elsewhere in the same way as a disk has to be to be played elsewhere. Funnily enough an MOV file I converted to Mp4 was not greyed out and I was able to import it.... an exercise I am not keen on because of resolution loss during conversion

    Go to the Project Library View and select your project.
    Then FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 1".
    Then duplicate it again and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 2"
    Now you can open "part 1" as a project and delete everything that is in part 2.

  • When I try to open a picture in iphoto a message tells me the file cannot be found. How do I find the file?

    When I try to open a picture in iphoto a message tells me the file cannot be found. How do I find the file?  It does not happen with all the pictures.

    Is you library a "referenced" or "managed" library:
    That message is generated when a library is a "referenced" library and the location of the files have been moved from where they were when originally imported into iPhoto.
    Are the photos that this is happening to in the same Event(s)?
    What system are your running?  Where is your library located? How much free space do you have on your boot drive?

  • I am now getting transcoding errors when I try to burn a DVD. Usually this can be overcome, but my latest project resists burning. Is it possible for a project to be too complicated?

    Suggestions would be welcome!

    Dear ATR
        I am using Première Elements 10 on a Mac Pro
        I was trying to burn to DVD-VIDEO widescreen, although I tried all the
    options in desperation including folders!
        Space required was about 3.7 GB, but instead of filling the space
    available, as it didn¹t work, I tried 2.5 GB without success.
        I use all Timeline menu markers including red ones to indicate the end
    of a movie, as there are several in the project. Scene markers and stop
    markers can therefore be close. Where there were red frames around button, I
    moved the buttons away from each other as required.
        By complicated, I meant that my movies tend to include transitions
    throughout movies and stills background music titles - clipart and
    dialogue, which I considered might be too much for the system to handle!
        Since I posted my query, I have taken a lot of transitions out of the
    movie (I usually choose a default transition of ³cross dissolve² between
    each video/still in the set-up). This has worked, and subject to re-viewing
    the movie, I am hoping that it is the cure and I will reset the defaults
    accordingly.
        Thanks for you interest in my problem.
    Best regards,
    TopCat38.

  • How do I split an iTunes account/library into two?

    Hi.  I have a single Apple ID and iTunes library that I share with my son. 
    We would like to split the library up so that he has his own account and library on his laptop and I retain my own stuff on my PC.  We don't need to share any of the stuff in the library - he likes his stuff and I like mine - so all I need to know is how to divide it up and to move his stuff onto the laptop. 
    Can this be done?
    If so how?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Thanks.  Almost none of my stuff was downloaded from the Apple store.  It's mostly cds that I have downloaded and tracks I have bought from Amazon.  Would it be possible to put them into a separate account?
    No. An iTunes account is for only iTunes purchases.
    You can put them into a separate iTunes library.
    The simplest way is to copy the entire /My Music/iTunes/ folder from your computer to /My Music/ on his computer. His library will be identical to yours.
    Then each of you can delete what you don't want.
    He can use teh iTunes account you have now and change the info in it to his own.
    You can create a new iTunes account for yourself if you want one.

  • Why is iMovie telling me the movie is too long when I try to export to mov at 720p? The movie is 55 minutes.

    What do I need to do?

    Thomas Dickson1is right, you might be running out of free open disk space without knowing it. When you go to the desktop, hold down the <CTRL> key then click on the Mac HD icon, Choose Get Info and see how much space is listed under the 'Available' Label.

  • How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share form

    How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share formats (iDVD, mp4, and last of all iTunes). The project label now carries signal with yellow triangled exclamation “i tunes out of date”.
    To solve the sync problem I’m following advice and detaching sound from all of the 100 or so short clips.  This operation has been stalled by the spinning ball. Shut down restart has not helped.
    The Project is mounted from Iomega and superspeed ext hd connected to imovie09 on macosx 10.5.8.
    What to do to resume repairs to the audio sync problem and so successfully share for youtube upload?

  • How do I export my iMovie '11 video and burn it to a DVD? I've tried 'Share' - 'Media Browser', 'iDVD', and 'Export Movie' but always get an error message indicating that my movie is too long to publish. Thoughts?

    How do I export my iMovie '11 video and burn it to a DVD? I've tried 'Share' - 'Media Browser', 'iDVD', and 'Export Movie' but always get an error message indicating that my movie is too long to publish. Thoughts? Additionally, what does 'File' 'Finalize Project' do?

    Instead of Share to Media Browser, what happens if you try Share Menu > Export Movie... (choose Large size) and save it to the Desktop?
    If that fails try Share Menu > Export using QuickTime...
    Then pick Movie to QuickTime Movie, then click on Options... which is just to the right of Export
    Under the Video section click on Settings...
    Then in the pulldown menu at the top, titled Compression Type: Choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Then click OK. And click OK again, and save it to the desktop. Once the .mov file is created, you can import that into iDVD and most likely it will work in Wondershare Creator if you prefer to use that instead.

  • I create a project w/iMovie and I have two problems:  When I try to finalize the project iMovie crashes; when I share to DVD sometimes it crashes also; if I can successfully send it to DVD and then burn a DVD there are wavy lines on the screen.  Help!

    I create a project w/iMovie and I have two problems:  When I try to finalize the project iMovie crashes; when I share to DVD sometimes it crashes also; if I can successfully send it to DVD and then burn a DVD there are wavy lines on the screen.  I'm uising photos in my project, not video.  Help!

    You can split a project in two by doing this.
    1) Go to the Project Library View.
    2) Select your project, and click FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT. Give it a name like "your project name - part 1".
    3) Do this again. This time name it "your project name - part 2"
    4) Open Part 1 for editing. Delete everything in the second half.
    5) Open Part 1 for editing. Delete everything in the first half of the project.
    At the end you should have your original project, plus the same project in two parts.

  • I just bought my MacBookPro and IMovie keeps quitting automatically when I try to finalize or share a project. It keeps telling me I do not have enough "heap room/." What should I do so I can share and burn my project ASAP?

    Hi
    How much free space is there on Your Mac main Start-Up hard disk ? for
    • SD-video - I never go under 25Gb
    • HD-material used - I guess that x5 more would do.
    Even as DVD is as standard SD-Video it needs space to scale down HD and Mac OS needs lot's for it's temp. files.
    I do not "Finalize" or use "Share to iDVD" - but I do "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (not HD or other resolution as this will degrade the final result)

  • How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto?

    How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? Or how do I export individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? My final goal is to have a DVD of individual photos from a video I recently shot. Thanks

    Here is one way to do it, although you will see there could be variations.
    1) Open iMovie
    2) Start a new project - name it Stills for iPhoto (or a name of your choice)
    3) Go to your EVENT. Find the spot with the cursor that you want a photo of. Right-click (or control-click if you don't have a mouse) and select ADD STILL FRAME TO PROJECT.
    4) The photo should be in the Project called Stills for iPhoto.
    5) Right-click (control-click) on the photo and select REVEAL IN FINDER.
    6)When the finder window opens, right-click and select COPY. Go to your Desktop or a folder of your choice and right-click PASTE
    7) Drag the photo from your Desktop to iPhoto

    The performance fixes is a biggy for me, though the other missing
    stuff I use makes me have to use both versions for various things:
    "but they seem to be committed to another release/version."
    Well ... now that's the rub. I would actually welcome this intermediate version to play with (even with the cost of upgrading) if I could rely on it to be finalized into 6.0, full featured, without it taking as long as it has to Upgrade from AA3.0. I would say it was a VERY smart move to give us a preview of 6.0, if I felt in, say, six months they would provide us the fully functional update. But, HOW many years has it been. I felt screwed over while they played around with Sound Booth.
    I was with you for a minute in most of what you said, until your credibility went down a couple notches with me on the statement trivializing midi functionality. I though that was a very clueless statement:
    "but I have no need for a midi controller and if I want a drummer to keep perfect time I'll get a drum machine."
    It does make some of your other statements suspect, tho I won't take it as far as therealdobro's "what's your stake" question.
