How to Crash iMovie HD 6 in a few easy steps.

HOW TO CRASH iMOVIE HD (6.0)
{Make sure your mouse is set up for left/right button operation like on a PeeCee. It may not work otherwise}.
1. Record a short clip using the iSight camera. Record another.
2. <Left Click> on one of the clips.
3. Use <right Click> and select 'clear'.
(one clip disappears in a puff of smoke ...)
4. <left Click> on the other clip.
5. Use <right click> and select 'clear'.
(other clip disappears in a puff of smoke ...)
6. iMove hangs for a second and then shuts down.
(It also usually works with clips that exist already.)
Plse send off the bug report to Apple.

I have had the same experiences as everyone else on this fourm. Maybe that's why I never see a Apple Rep answer a question. I was working on a project all day and the application would just quit in the middle of me making an edit. I never had a chance to save my work when this happened.
It seems to me that over the past four years, apple has just deployed software without fully testing. I can't understand why they would use their paying customers as beta testers. The quality control aspect of Apple has gone away. You can't use iMovie on an iPod, but that's all they seem worried about these days. I am glad to see Adobe put out some good applications. Take Lightroom for example. This application was created to allow users to run the application on a Power Mac G4. What about that Apple?
I just wish Apple would own up to the problems it's cutomers are reportng and correct them or at least acknowledge them as being investigated. Wit would also seem reasonable for Apple to at least publish known issues.

I had elements 11 and I now have a new pc and elements 13. how do I get the photos from 11 ne easy step?

When you open the File menu, you should have 19 options, including 'Manage catalogs, Ctrl+Maj+C'.
All options should be available (not grayed out).
Using the 'Manage catalogs' option should open a new dialog.
In the white panel on the bottom you should find one or several catalogs found by the Organizer.
In the upper right part, two buttons : Open and Convert.
Click on 'Convert' which should open a new dialog allowing you to find the catalog to convert. The organizer should find most older catalogs in the list on the bottom. If you don't see your catalog to convert, you can tick the checkboxes to 'show previously converted catalogs' or to browse to their location.
Highlight the catalog to convert and click the convert button.

How to open iMovie 10.0.7?

Hello everybody,
After the upgrade in version 10.0.7, I lost all my movies... how to open iMovie if it crash at the opening?

No bootable clone backup from before the update? OK. I think the following files and folders would need replacing with versions dated before you downloaded iMovie 10.0.7:
Applications/iMovie.app
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovieapp.........plist [deleting the 10.0.7 version sufficient - will be recreated by 10.0.6
~/Library/iMovie
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.imovieApp
I think this covers everything but I can't be certain. Keep copies of the 10.0.7 versions so you can if necessary restore the status quo
Before trying all of the above its probably worth just deleting the current .plist file (with iMovie not running), rebooting, then trying iMovie 10.0.7 again (if you have already tried this).
Failing that I would delete iMovie 10.0.7 and re-install - several people have reported problems with download and its just possible that something went wrong the first time.
If this still doesn't work it may be worth systematically removing event folders from the problem library with the finder (iMovie not running) because there is probably one event that iMovie 10.0.7 'doesn't like'

Copied Project Crashes iMovie

My daughter has a 600 Mhz G3 Powerbook with 256MB running iMove HD (latest version). OS X 10.3.9
She downloaded from her Sony camera about 35 minutes of a school project she shot. She used iMovie to edit the clips into a 25 minute movie. She added a few titles and some music off a CD.
We played the move in full screen mode and it was fine except she needed a few more edits. She also decided to download some music with her iTunes account and added some sound effects.
Now when she plays the movie in full screen mode it is choppy. I know, not much of a machine for this type of project. Soooo, I have a new 1.2 Ghz iBook with over a gig of memory.OS X 10.3.9. I figure this machine should have the horsepower to play it fine.
However when I copied the movie project over to my big machine (via a diskgo edge firewire external drive or using her machine in target mode. I got an error that my machine was not authorized to play her iTunes music. We entered her code iTunes account info in my machine to authorize it then restarted iMovie and my machine crashes iMovie.
This is repeatable. I cannot copy her project to my machine without iMovie crashing when I open her project. Any ideas what is going on?
Also I observe that in older versions of iMovie you could open up the folder containing the project and see the elements of the movie but not with the current version. What is happening? Also, how do you launch iMovie without it loading the last project you are working on?

Where can i find a tutorial on how to use iMovie 2013 version?

I've been making some clips anywhere from 6 seconds to 15 seconds long, and I just wanted if there are any good links on how to use iMovie 2013 version. I've looked on youtube but everything on their are old clips or small clips on how to run the program. I'm not an advanced user but i've picked up some of the basics on iMovie. I just want to learn the basics and advance onto the harder setups with iMovie. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

LOTS OF Imovie video tutorial vids here:

Can anyone point me toward a tutorial/video/anything that will show me how to use iMovie '11?

The Apple video tutorial was just a commercial. Other info I found on Apple site was for the iPad. I have a MacBook Pro. I need to learn how to use iMovie '11 from the start. Very start. To borrow a line from a movie 'Talk to me like I'm a 5-year-old.' For example, what is the difference between a 'project' and an 'event'? Which one do I create first? How do I adjust the exposure and color on my movies? Once I am done with my movie how do I tell computer/software to 'save' it because I am done. Then where is it? These are just examples.
I'd love to find any basic tutorial/video/help.
I got a book but it's way too advanced.
Thank you.

How to send iMovie video with E-mail

I finally stumbled, fumbled, and bumbled my way into getting a 16-second test video clip into my iMovie Project Library. I even got as far as far as preparing the video resolution for Emailing, although I don't know how I got there. Anyway, I think I am now on the brink of being able to send my test video, but I don't want to waste the entire afternoon learning how to do that. What's my next step?

I finally found the section in my iMovies book that tells how to send iMovies by E-mail, and I have now sent my first test video. The quality not acceptable, but if it arrives as a viewable video, I'll then look into making improvements.

How to make iMovie to read ADVC-110???

I'm struggling how to make iMovie to recognize my Canopus ADVC-110 so I can transfer my VHS tapes to iMovie..
Pleease help

Hi s
< When I open up iMovie HD - which video format do I use? >
• DV
• Go down under the viewer window and You can select Camera or a pare of siccors.
Camera should have a black triangle and let You select iSight or ADVC. If not it doesn't detect the
ADVC
• Most probably it is. 6-pin end is about double the size and is rectangular eccept on short end that
are curved to prevent wrong turning
4-pin end is smaller and has an indent on one of it's longer sides for same reason.
If it is not dectected on either of Your Macs it indicates a problem with either the ADVC or the FW-Cable.
• The Cable is far more often the problem. Try to borrow another one and test.
HERE Comes my long long list. Use it with care - not all apply to Your situation.
I would print-out and cheque off those that are usably. No guarantee at all.
Capture/Import problems:
a) File-Vault is on - turn it off
b) don’t Daisy chain camcorder - external hard disk - Mac
(except for some Canon-Cameras)
c) Slow hard disk (fragmented: repair permissions, repair hard disk, use a faster hard disk)
d) Something is occupying the CPU/System, like other programs, Internet etc.
e) Bad RAM-chips
f) drop outs on the miniDV-tape - make a camera to camera copy on a tape which You have previous recorded with a time code (dummy recording).
g) FW-wire cable OK?
h) Break in the time-code on the miniDV tape (make a camera to camera copy on a tape which is prerecorded with nothing/anything so that the tape has a time-code from beginning to the end)
i) defective camera TRY IT ON ANOTHER MAC !
j) remove bookmarks in iMovie project
k) Do You have desktop pictures or screen-savers active? Try turning them off.
l) Updating - OS has to be a clean install - not an update eg from X.3.x to X.4.x (no good)
OS X.4.0-2 needs a clean install to work (I use X.3.9)
m) Updating QT and/or other updates (to 7 needs v6 to be cleaned out first)
QT v.7 needs a clean install to work (I use 6.5.2)
n) Have you tried the crazy fix:
Open GarageBand, play a few notes, close it and reopen iMovie. The camera should import fine now. (Sue/SDillini)
o) NEW (from Sue/SDillini):
Trash the Font Collections Folder.
These files are found:
/YourUserName/Library/FontCollections folder.
Drag the folder to the trash and launch iMovie. iMovie will create a new FontCollections folder containing the files it needs when it next opens.
p) or thrashing the com.apple.imovie.plist file (Rodney Brown2)
q) - Other programs interfering like Flip4Mac
r) - Third party or old plug-ins
May be You find some help in my list:
Mac:
• hardware
◊ Slow hard disk (fragmented: repair permissions, repair hard disk, use a faster hard disk)
◊ I wonder how full your Mac's hard disc is. (David Babsky) A near full hard disk prevents Import/Capture.
10% free is recommended + space for Import/Capture + work space (about 4 to
5 times the amount needed for Capture) eg on a 200Gb hard disk You need 20Gb + (one hour tape)
13Gb + 50Gb = about 80 to 90Gb free space.
◊ Disconnect all other ext devices (FW and USB) exept Camera (and keyboard + mouse) and try again
◊ Rebuild Desktop (Tech-tool or fingersetting during start-up) (System up to 9)
◊ Reset PRAM (Tech-tool or keyboard finger settings alt-cmd-P-R ??)
◊ Reset PMU ( Restting the PMU...is the the alt-ctrl-shift and powerbutton shortcut? ) (Sue)
PMU: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86760
PMU/SMU are essentially the same in the PM G5.
◊ Reset SMU
SMU: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300341
◊ Bad RAM-chips
◊ disconnect Mac from powerline (not just switch off, really plug out) for a few minutes to reset FW ports
• software
◊ File-Vault is on - turn it off
◊ Something is occupying the CPU/System, like other programs, Internet etc.
◊ Do You have desktop pictures or screen or energy-savers active? Try turning them off.
◊ Updating - OS has to be a clean install - not an update eg from X.3.x to X.4.x (no good) OS X.4.0-5 needs a clean install to work (I use X.3.9)
◊ Updating QT and/or other updates (to 7 needs v6 to be cleaned out first) QT v.7.0.0-4 needs a clean install to work (I use 6.5.2)
◊ Have you tried the crazy fix: Open GarageBand, play a few notes, close it and reopen iMovie. The camera should import fine now. Sue/SDillini
◊ Running iDVD at the same time as iMovie can cause problems: (Lennart Thelander)
◊ If You also have installed FinalCut Express/pro there are possibly problems with this
◊ Other programs that interferes like Flip4Mac
◊ Codecs added to QuickTime
◊ Old plug-ins to iMovie or third party alike
iMovie:
◊ remove bookmarks in iMovie project
◊ Trash: com.apple.iMovie.plist and com.apple.iMovie3.plist : files (Xinram)
Connection:
◊ don’t Daisy chain Camcorder <--> external hard disk <--> Mac
◊ FW-wire cable, is it OK?
◊ USB/USB2 is NO GO !
◊ Cheque FW connection at Camera end. OK? (Adam Smith1)
◊ Cheque FW connection at Mac end. OK?
Camera:
◊ The Camera is set to VTR ? (not as when You ”film” record with it)
◊ You may be need to go to the Camera menu and select digital out.
◊ defective camera TRY IT ON ANOTHER MAC ! (if the A/D chip in the camera is harmed then it will say in iMovie that the camera is connected and You can forward resp. backward the tape but there will be no picture or sound just the blue screen).
◊ connect camera to power-line, not battery-only....(Karsten Schlüter)
◊ Canons don't allow daisychaining on firewire, make it "only device" on port (Karsten Schlüter)
◊ Cheque the menu on Your Camera so that it communicates with the FW digitally to Your Mac
◊ Date and Time is correct on Your Camera ?
Tape:
◊ Drop outs on the miniDV-tape - make a camera to camera copy on a tape which You have previous recorded with a time code (dummy recording).
◊ Break in the time-code on the miniDV tape (make a camera to camera copy on a tape which is pre-recorded with nothing/anything so that the tape has a time-code from beginning to the end)
◊ If You recorded in LP-mode (90 min on a standard 60 min tape with 12-bit sound). Try to change in iMovie pref. to import but not as individual clips. If this doesn’t work You have to make a Camera to Camera copy with the receiving Camera set to SP-mode and 16-bit sound.
More:
◊ follow advises here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=43000
◊ follow Grandmaster Dan's advice for Sony cameras here: http://www.danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/usage/5020.shtml
NEWS: Jerry Harris writes:
I know that in a lot of the new Sony HD cameras, iMovie requires that you turn i.Link Conv off. I would look for a similar setting for your camera. This setting has to do with shooting a movie in one format, and using the camera to import as a different format. For instance, if you shoot HD footage and have i.Link conv on - the camera will send DV to the computer etc...
So, case in point: look for a setting on your camera that has to do with the video format and see if that helps.

How to point Imovie to second internal harddrive

I have installed an internal Maxtor harddrive to give me more room to edit movies. But I cannot figure out how to point Imovie to that harddrive.
What am I missing? Thanks.

When we create a new project, iMovie lets us save it wherever we want. We can save it on our internal drive or any external drive.
1. In iMovie, choose File > New Project.
2. In the Save dialog window that opens, navigate to the drive where you want to save the project. (If the Up/Down arrow just to the right of your new project name is pointing down, click on it.) The Save dialog window lets you navigate to any of the disks connected to your Mac. Navigate to the disk, then navigate to a folder in that disk and save the project.
Existing projects can be moved to another disk by simply dragging the project to a folder on that disk.
