How do you import movies that were previously archived by iMovie

Hello there,
I recently archived a movie from my Canon M31 using iMovie and put it in a folder on my hard drive (not an i movie folder, a folder i created).
How do i import those files later? I tested it right after the archive was done and there were no files that iMovie recognized to import. iMovie basically made a copy of my canon flash memory on my hard disk which is great, but how do i now import the file? is there a parent file i need to start that will initiate the process?
Thanks in advance
Marc

Thanks...was hoping you would respond and in the meantime i looked at the import options and saw the import archive option....funny hoe reading the options can answer the question...
thanks for the reply...

Looks like it records in AVI format at 25 fps. I think that should import to iMovie OK - if not it should import to iPhoto and then be available in the iMovie Events Library under "iPhoto Videos". Importing shouldn't be a problem based on this extract from the web page:
"The glasses can be hooked directly to a PC with the supplied USB cable to view the video, or when using the Micro SD card, it can be inserted into a card reader to watch footage."

EDIT: Also, see this point under Features: "Easy PC/Mac USB Connection (no driver needed)"

Try using a data recovery product such as the ones listed here. Don't write anything else to the drive until the file is recovered or you choose not to recover it.

How do you import movie projects from Facebook into iMovie on an iMac?

I have an edited movie project that was 17 mins long on my mini iPad. Because it was over 15 mins long I couldn't share it into iMovie theatre on my mini iPad. So my father suggested to share it to Facebook where (we thought) we could download it from there into iMovie on my iMac. But it didn't work. I put the link onto to my desktop, and from there, I tried to to add the link into an iMovie video tab but a little window cam up and said(and I quote): "This file will not be imported. It is not compatible with iMovie."
So...
HELP!
HOW DO YOU MAKE MY MOVIE PROJECT COMPATIBLE WITH IMOVIE?????

Thanks for getting back with me so promptly. It has taken me this time to connect with the proper people to find out the information you requested.
The camera used to film the class was a Panasonic AG-HMC40P, owned by a local cable TV station; they use Kodak video encoding software, and a SD card was used to store the video. The file extension is .mts, and the mime file is MPEG 2 transport. He said I probably need an AVCHD converter, and the Mac app store lists 8 of those options, 4 free and 4 for up to $9.99. He said I'll also need a converter for later plans of posting on YouTube or on the website, and while some of those in the app store might work for the later needs, he knows one app called "Compressor" that would work for the uploading later. He also suggested I could try renaming the .mts file to .MP2T, but he wasn't sure that would work.
They don't work with Macs at the studio, but I had thought I could have some lessons there in editing, and apply what I learned to my iMac and iMovie.
First, though, I have to be able to see it and review it!
Thanks again!

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

How do you import video that was on VHS that is now on DVD into FCE 4?

The footage that I will be using is was on VHS and was then put on to DVD. I just have no idea if and how to import it into FCE 4. All the footage is archival that was on VHS and is being used in a documentary. So it would be great to know how to do this and any help would be great! ohh I'm also new to the FCE 4 world!

Welcome to the forum!
It would be better to work with the VHS directly as DVD-Video is highly compressed. But if that's all you have to work with, you have two options: hardware or software.
The hardware method involves connecting a DVD player's analog outputs to a qualified DV device (camcorder, VTR or converter) then connecting the DV device to your Mac via Firewire.
The software method means using MPEG Streamclip or DVDxDV to convert the DVD's VOB files into an editable format.

How do you recover files that were put in the trash before you emptied your trash?

Before realizing that I had saved my research paper under downloads rather than documents, I put all my downloaded files in the trash and emptied my trash. How can I recover this file? I appreciate all the help I can get! I have spent the last five hours editing this paper :/

Try using a data recovery product such as the ones listed here. Don't write anything else to the drive until the file is recovered or you choose not to recover it.

How do you restore apps that were deleted off of computer?

I had to have some work done on my MacBook; hard drive was completely full. Now that it's back up and running, I have about 200 apps that show up as icons in my iTunes but aren't listed in Finder. They files seem to be completely gone. I've done a sync on my iPhone and iPad but now those apps were deleted off of those as well because iTunes couldn't find the files. I thought I could just go to iTunes and re-download them, (the ones I've paid for would say that I've paid already and just download them again). My problem is that the "Install" button or "Purchase" button that normally shows up beside the app icon in the store says "downloaded" and is dimmed not allowing me to download again. How do I get my apps back??

How do you paste frames that were created in a symbol into the main animation's timeline??

Hi
I've accidently created an entire short flash animation inside a symbol! I've selected all the frames inside this symbol and copied them into a new animation. When I paste these frames, Flash pastes the animation OUTSIDE the boundaries of the stage. Is there a way to move the entire animation without having to go to every key frame and move it back to the correct location?
When I select all the frames and try to do this it doesn't work and I'm struggling to find anything to help do this.
Thanks
I'm using Flash CS5

Thanks, I have done this and this is what happens (see attached image)
It pastes the frames and layers all fine, but the animation is off the stage. How can I move it back in the correct location?

How do you convert mov to wav files?

How do you convert .mov files to .wav files in iMovie 10? I can no longer find the Share/Quicktime/Options tabs.

* the .mov container can be handled by any PC with a free download of Quicktime for Windows; but many PC users hesitate doing so, because on the Apple website it looks like you instali iTunes too... many PC don't like that...
* .mp4 can be handled by any actual PC mediaplayer... again: PC users are used to import .wmv (or the very old .avi container/not supported by YouTube)
* for exporting .wmv on a Mac, you need to buy a licence at www.flip4mac.com
* mpeg... the MotionPictureExpertGroup published many codecs... mpeg1, mpeg2, mpeg4, h261, h264. .... but using iM as exporter, all these mpegs will be "hidden" in the QT container .mov... with QTpro you can strip-off the container, but I recommed the beginner to use one of the above mentioned options......

How do you make movies sent to you tube accessible to mobile devices

How do you make movies that are sent to you tube accessible to mobile devices

hey there,
Do you mean that you want to play some youtube videos on your mobile devices? If so, that would be really easy.
As to most of the codec problem, a video converter can move away your troubles. And since almost of the current video converters can support all video format file input, you can use it in most codec cases.
tips for you, most of the mobile devices support .mp4 best. In this case, if your device's name isn't in the output format list, you can just choose the output format as MPEG-4.
here's the guide of the one i used to use, wish that can help you. Good luck~
