How to dump .mod directly into iMovie without having to convert to .m4v?

I cannot dump my video directly into iMovie 9 from Canon FS200. It goes to a document which I then have to laboriously convert - one clip at a time - to .m4v using Handbrake. Only then will iMovie take them. How do I bypass that conversion and get video directly into iMovie?

Yes. It can be done. But Math script can not evaluate all functions in .m files (There are some exceptions).
And those can perhaps easily be ported to LabVIEW/MathScript?
It is not sufficient to disregard running your Matlab code in LabVIEW based on a few exceptions without first thoroughly evaluating the impact they have.
If you want to stick with Matlab in your implementation, then there are other avenues than hypotethizing about the limited portability issues of using MathScript in your project?

  • Dragging a random clip into iMovie without having to import it?

    Let me get this out of the way. I think iMovie '08 blows hard. Where's the simplicity of iMovieHD 6? Man, Apple dropped the ball on this one. Anyway, anyone know how why you can't just drag a random .mov, .mp4, or .dv file into iMovie or iMovie's dock icon to import it? It's a small problem, that's annoying. Something that Apple is not known for.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Actually, if the movie is compatible as explained by whatdoyoumeanpi..., then you can "Drag 'n Drop" import a file. Next tim you have iMovie '08 and want to import a DV file, try dragging it from the desktop to the "Named Event" title (i.e., not the Event window). The DV file will be first "moved" (not copied) to the event window and then iMovie '08 will proceed to generate the thumbnails. Remember, if you want to use the "copy" option to import files, you must use the File menu "Import Movies" option and set the import for "copy." This will also work with editable AIC, MP4, M4V, or MJPEG, as well as, Apple Animation and Video files which iMovie will edit but not export properly.

  • IFrame import DIRECTLY into iMovie 11

    How do I import iFrame video DIRECTLY into iMovie 11?  I recently upgraded from iMovie 09 to iMovie 11.  Also, I bought a new camera (Canon) and it has
    iFrame.  I recorded a test video in the iFrame mode.  I opened iMovie.  If there is a way to get iMovie to grab the video directly from the camera, I cannot find it.  Previously I used a Panasonic Lumix.  iMovie 09 would grab the AVCHD directly from the camera. I found a workaround to get the iFrame directly into iMovie, but it entails an extra step.  (the iFrame video showed up in Iphoto 11 along with the stills.  I then moved it from IPhoto to imovie via the desktop.)
    Surely there is a way for iMovie 11 to grab the video directly from the camera, and I am missing it.  I am running Mt. Lion.   Please help.  Thank you.

    I drag the movie from iPhoto to the desktop.  Then, in iMovie, I use the "file" dropdown menu.  From that menu, I select "Import" and then I select "Movie" and then I select the movie that I have just dragged to the desktop.  It would be easier if I could drag the desktop movie directly into my iMovie, but it will not drag.

  • How to import AVCHD movies into iPhoto without wavy lines.

    Seems to be quite the common plight but few resolved answers (that I could find) ...
    Importing videos in to iPhoto from Sony Handycam "works", but upon viewing the quality is garbage with lines, shooting in 1080i mode at 30 fps.
    I know I can import into iMovie but because it converts that to AIC it chews up way more space. I've also played around with ClipWare, but that only seems to reduce the distraction slightly.
    Any other automated software out there to do this? Seems like a good market to make some serious coin for whoever comes up with software for it.

    Lighten up Francis! It was meant to be lighthearted observation of some frustrating facts. Didn't you see my smiling winking emoticon?
    It is cathartic to vent a little now and then by the way, you should try it sometime.
    I originally posted to confirm for others that the bug was still there.
    Your post was not helpful since you simply told me to stop doing what I need to do. I understand that is all the advice you could give since there is no workaround for the bug. I explained why changing to another video format would not meet my needs.
    Your suggestion for contacting Apple directly and giving feedback is good but at this point we are probably having a tempest in a teacup over nothing since it will be a whole new ballgame in Photos.
    So long and have a nice day.

  • Record directly into iMovie?

    I was wondering if I could set up a camera, and record directly into iMovie. I have a long program I need record, and would love to record (import) directly into iMovie.

    Yes you can. But there may be occasional short pauses while your Mac "takes a breath" and indexes what it's storing on your hard disc, etc.
    Remember that DV video takes up about 13 gigabytes of space per hour, so you'll need that much free space on your disc per hour of recording, and keep about 10% of your total hard disc space free, so that your Mac can still do its internal housekeeping.
    You'll need, of course a camcorder with a FireWire/DV/i.Link connection (..all the same thing; just different names for it!..) which generally means a tape-based miniDV camcorder.
    (..Although hi-def HDV camcorders have the same FireWire connection, and record onto the same miniDV tape, there's quite an 'overhead' of processing power which your Mac requires in order to convert the incoming hi-def video into the 'Apple Intermediate Codec' format which lets iMovie edit hi-def, so I'd stick with standard-definition DV if I were you!..)*
    Depending on the make and model of camera, you may need to put a tape in the camera - or not - and switch it to either Record or VCR mode. (..In a quick test here I've just turned on my Sony camera in 'Camera' mode with a FireWire cable connected, and iMovie is displaying the picture from the camera, and imports it when I click iMovie's "Import" button..)
    "..I have a long program I need record.." ..erm, if you're pointing it at a TV screen to record that, you'd want the camera on some sort of support, and - if you have Manual Focus - you may want to de-focus slightly to avoid the moiré pattern which you might get from tightly focused dots (pixels) on the screen. You'd also want to adjust the camera's White Balance so that the screen looks the right colour!
    *P.S: hi-def HDV takes up more than 13GB per hour, so if you were to use hi-def HDV you'd need to allow much more (..up to 4x more..) hard disc space per hour of recording!

  • Import From iPhone 3GS Directly Into iMovie '09?

    I don't think this is possible. Can you import from your iPhone 3GS directly into iMovie '09?
    With my iPhone 3GS docked, if I go to File > Import from Camera… the only device I get is my iMac's iSight camera. Why doesn't the iPhone 3GS show up?
    Yes, I know you can import videos into the Finder using Image Capture. And you can import them into iPhoto and THEN into iMovie. But how come you can't go directly from your iPhone 3GS into iMovie '09?

    You right about the iPhone 3Gs work-flow:
    _ Connect your iPhone 3Gs to your Mac
    _ Launch iPhoto
    _ Import the iPhone 3Gs videos using iPhoto
    _ Launch iMovie
    _ iMovie automatically detects the videos from iPhoto & requests if you want to Generate Thumbnails
    _ Then go to the iMovie > Event Library > iPhoto Videos

  • I need to capture directly into Imovie using EyeTV.

    I can capture directly into EyeTV software no problem. I have an EyeTV 200 with a firewire connection. I can export from Eye TV into Imovie. I would like to remove a step and capture from my EyeTV directly into Imovie. Currently I get a message that says "No Camera Attached". Does anyone know a work around?

    The EyeTV hardware/software mpg-2 compresses the content on capture. If you have the latest EyeTV software, the software will let you export the content in DV format for use in iMovie and iDVD which it appears you have been doing.
    As for >>I would like to remove a step and capture from my EyeTV directly into Imovie.<< That can't be done.

  • How to import dmg files into imovie

    Hi,
    I copied home movies that were on DVD's onto my desktop. They all came in as a dmg format. How do I get these into imovie so I can start creating projects using the various footage from them?  Help!  Thanks!

    Ah you didn't mention that you had a Video DVD, that's an important bit of information.
    A DVD that was made to be played on a DVD player has a very different format form one made for a computer. In order to access the content of the DVD o you will need to convert or rip the DVD. Please realize that if the DVD is a commercial DVD (or a copy of one) then it is protected by DRM and you will not be able to rip it and also it is against the TOU here on ASC to discuss the ripping of commercial DVD's. Apple will pull your account here is that is the case.
    So with that in mind you can rip the DVD using something like HandBrake

  • Can i import an iPhoto slideshow directly into iMovie?

    I know you can export an iPhoto slideshow to QuickTime, and then import that into iMovie.
    Just wondering if you can eliminate the middle step and go directly into iMovie.

    You'll need to export the movie out of iMovie to the Desktop via the Share ➙ File menu option.  Import the movie file from the Desktop into iPhoto and when you've confirmed that the movie is safely in iPhoto you may delete the copy from the Destkop.
    To send the movie from iMovie to other apps like iDVD that have access to the Media Browser use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option.
