How to download iphone 4 movies into iMovie on my Mac?

Does anyone know how to download the movies on my new iPhone 4 to iMovie on my mac? I can get them into iPhoto but I really want to just bring them directly into iMovie and go from there. Thanks!

Here are two links that have a writeup about this subject. I printed them out for a user's guide. They talk about exporting for imovie on the mac.

  • How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done?

    How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC. 

    No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either.  It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected.  VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB.  All of which cannot be opened or selected.
    Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC.  Is that the same?  Thank you for your time and response.

  • How to download a DVD movie into Premiere Elements 12 using my MacBook Pro so I can edit the video?

    How to download a DVD movie into Premiere Elements 12 using my MacBook Pro so I can edit the video?

    Bob Perez
    Please review and consider the following which works for me in Premiere Elements 12 Window 64 bit.
    From what you wrote, I suspect that you have DVD-VIDEO widescreen on DVD disc. For now I will assume that you are working in a NTSC setup.
    Premiere Elements DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc is characterized as interlaced video with field order lower (bottom) field first. I am not sure how your DVD-VIDEO on DVD was produced - upper (top) field first or lower (bottom) field first. We may have to apply Field Option Reverse Field Dominance at the Timeline level, but for now let us put that aside for a later time.
    Insert your DVD disc in the DVD burner tray.
    Open Premiere Elements to the Expert workspace and set the project preset manually for NTSC DV Widescreen. How to details for manual project preset setting are found
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
    Then, Add Media/DVD camera or Computer Drive/Video Importer.
    The video files from the DVD-VIDEO will be the larger size files and will probably start with VTS_01_1.VOB.
    In the Video Importer designate the save location for video file VOB(s) and select Add to Timeline and hit Get Media
    to put the files on the Timeline for editing.
    If you have more than one DVD disc to "rip", please set up the Video Importer Save In location so that the save in location has a folder for each disc. The fact that all DVDs have the same VTS_01_1.VOB name etc will cause problems if you saved all to the same place as individual files.
    Determine how that works for you in your Mac computer environment. We will be watching for your progress.
    Others may tell you that you need to convert the VOB to another format before import into Premiere Elements. That is no necessary for Premiere Elements.
    Thank you.

  • Can I download DVD home movies into imovies?

    Can I download DVD home movies into imovie to edit and create enhanced DVDs?

    Yes.
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • How to get Samsung F34BN movies into iMovie

    I just got a Samsung F34BN for Christmas and I can't see from the instructions how to import its movies into iMovie (either 6, 8, or 9). Help OB1, your my only hope

    I have a samsung hmx-h100...try this...if the camcorder came with windows software, turn it off in the camera's menu setting...if it has a memory card (like mine), once you've taken your video, connect the usb cable to your mac...the camera should mount on your desktop...double click the samsung icon, navigate to the video folder, and you should see your video clips...drag them onto the desktop...then open up your version of imovie, click import, and select the clips on your desktop...I had various degree of success doing that with imovie 6...imovie 8 handled it well...the other thing you can do if you want to use imovie 6 is use MPEG Streamclip, drag your clips into it, then export to quicktime...you should then be able to import your quicktime movie into imovie 6 and edit...

  • How do I get QT movies into iMovie 8 ?

    I captured some screen video using Snapz Pro X, edited them in QT Pro. I have tried to import and drag them into iMovie 8 and have not been
    . What am I doing wrong?

    you can copy them for your own use.
    Copying is not the issue. Breaking the encryption is.
    But it's kind of a catch 22 in that you cannot copy a DVD unless you break the encryption.
    in Europe it is not
    Europe is not one country.
    Most European countries have their own equivalent of the DMCA and it is illegal to break the encryption in some of these countries.

  • How do import my avi movie into iMovie? And camera help.

    I know that these topics have been posted before and I've searched for a solution to no success. I want to import the m ovies I record on my Canon (Ixus 55/Powershot SD450) into my iMovie. BUt whenever I drag the movie file from my desktop to iMovie I get a bouncing icon and it tells me it is not a valid format. I'm sure I have the DivX codec on my Mac, can anyone suggest why it is not working?
    While I'm at it, does anyone know of digital cameras of similar standing that will record mpg and iPhoto will erase the content of once it has imported?

    If your DVD's are encrypted, Hollywood doesn't want you to be able to figure out how to copy them.  Encryption is used in all store bought DVD's. 

  • How to get my SD movies onto imovie??

    I have a new canon camera and have been using it for movies as well as for photos. The clips seem to import to iphoto but, for the life of me, I can't get them into imovie to edit - either with a card reader or by transferring them from iphoto.
    I am sure this topic has been covered, but I can't seem to find a relevant post. This camera does record in HD, which I have heard has problems, but I am not using the hd settings. How can I get my movies into imovie? Also, does it take up colossal amounts of room to store videos on a smaller hard drive ( my macbook is only 80 GB ) I wonder should I backing them up to an external drive right away, for storage purposes..? That is if I manage to actually import the video....
    Is the card reader the problem? It is quite new and I have had no other problems using it with other devices. Many thanks....

    have you read and watch the Tutorials..? :
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie
    iM is a bit.. iffy, when it comes to the definition, what a 'camera' is. historically, only tape based machines were a movie-camera. nowadays still-cams allow movin' images too..
    but, as mentioned above: the intended workflow is: material from photo cameras (even when they move) => import via iPhoto; material from video cameras (even when they don't move.. ) => iMovie
    when the import is done, you'll notice in all iLife apps the 'media browser' - in iM09, on the very right, the icon with a camera on.. click it, presto, all (incl. your 'videos') your iPhoto Library at hand for usage in iMovie.

  • I have a short homemade film burnt onto a DVD, I now want to import the movie into IMOVIE on my MacBook Pro so that I can edit it, how would I go about doing this? Welcoming any guidance.  Thanks in advance.

    I have a short homemade film burnt onto a DVD, I now want to import the movie into IMOVIE on my MacBook Pro so that I can edit it, how would I go about doing this? Welcoming any guidance.  Thanks in advance.

    1. Insert your DVD.
    2. Open Disk Utilities (Application> Utilities> Disk Utilities). Highlight your DVD and press "New Image" on the upper toolbar.
    3. Choose the location you would like to save your DVD from the drop down menu, "Desktop" is usually the best choice. Then click Save.
    4. When finished, your DVD icon will appear on the desktop with the .dmg extension.
    5. With iMovie open, double-click the .dmg  file you created to mount it. The iMovie import window will then appear asking you to choose. Click Import All and wait for the Import to complete.

  • How can i convert 3d movie into 2d to watch it in mac

    i have a movie with mkv file playable on vlc how can i convert the movie into 2d

    There are now a bunch of them out there. Do a Google search for "mac 3D conversion" They tend to be around $35. I have been using iSkysoft products, which have been fairly easy to use. They have a "iMedia Converter Deluxe for Mac" that besides the 3D to 2D conversion, will also convert video to 70+ formats, has a 1-Click Video Downloader, and a single click Rip DVD and Burn to DVDs feature. Also claims to be "Ultrafast" all for the same price others apps are that only do the conversion.

  • How to import DVD-R movie into Keynote?

    I just transferred a video (with audio) from a VHS tape to a DVD-R, using a stand-alone DVD Recorder. Now I need to import this into Keynote. I've tried opening/playing the DVD with iMovie iDVD, and Quicktime but they will not recognize it as a readable file. The only application that I have that even will play the disc is DVD Player.
    Any suggestions how I can get this movie into my Keynote presentation will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    as log as there aren't copyright issues aren't a problem, something like Handbrake should work to convert the file to something keynote can read.
