How to export iMovie clips for import to Windows video editing programs?

What export format creates an exact digital copy of mini-dv video which can be recognised and imported by Windows video editors?
I need to give editable copies of DV to Windows users, The lowest common denominator is Windows Movie Maker, which does not recognise .dv files created by copying from the project's Media folder, or Sharing a Movie to DV stream.
I want to burn data DVDs with clips or complete projects from iMovie which are equivalent to copying back to mini-DV tapes.
Is Share to AVI my only option?
If so, is there any loss in quality?
iMac G5, MacBook, iMac 233 (R.I.P.) Mac OS X (10.4.7)

after spending a few minutes on the net concerning that WindowMovieMaker, my guess is:
WMM does NOT accept a "file.dv" ...
but is does accept that same dv within an avi container... "file.avi"
avi and mov are just containers, not formats, as a box of chocolate, "wrappers" for many codecs...
try to export your clips as avi, and choose under compressor "DV"...- give that a try...
DV is the same codec which is in use on miniDV tapes, and the same, iM uses internally... so, it should be no quality loss.. just a "wrapping"...

How to Export Aperture Library for Use by Windows PC

Hello and thanks in advance for your help. I have recently returned to using a Mac after years of PC use. I'm using Parallels for some apps that are PC only, an astronomy program, TheSky6, for example. One of the first things I did was purchase Aperture and move my 40GB photo library into it. "Move" is the operative word; I didn't want to use up too much disk space so my photo library now exists only in Aperture. What I didn't realize, at the time I was happily deleting my Photoshop Album library, was that Aperture creates its own universe, and the actual photo files are no longer easily accessible, buried as they are, so to speak, within Aperture folders containing proprietary tags, etc.
Is there an easy way to recreate the folders with just the jpegs, tiffs, raws photo files and nothing else? I realize of course that I could do this photo-by-photo, but it would take an awfully long time. I have tried exporting the projects, but they just export as aperture projects, so that didn't work. I also tried using Photoshop Album (on the pc side), hoping that it would just import the photo files and ignore all the aperture stuff--that didn't work either. A wonderful Apple Script program called "Aperture iPhoto Sync" did work somewhat, but it kept giving me errors before it was finished, and I couldn't keep track of what had copied and what had not.
Learning from my mistake (the story of my life!), I have realized that I would like to keep the photo files accessible to a PC as well. I keep thinking I am missing something really simple here. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

May I humbly and quietly suggest to read the manual before doing anything drastic.
It would have been better to import all your images as referenced masters. Images would have stayed in the location they were in and the Aperture library would only have contained links or references to them. This would not have used up extra hard drive space.
A good site for Aperture is the Bagelturf site.
Have a look at this article in which Bagelturf explains "relocate and consolidate" of images.

Considering your objectives, using referenced masters is the best option for you.

Is there a guide to iMovie 11 for someone who understands video editing in the normal way?

Yesterday, for the very first time, I used iMovie 11. My son shot a little video on his iPod Touch, and then wanted to play around with the titles and transitions a bit more than the iPod would afford. So, we did the import via iTunes dance, and opened it on the Mac in iMovie 11. Here's where the fun ended.
I've done small projects in FCE or FCP before, and iMovie before them. Since we were using the Mac our kids use, it didn't have FCP on it. It was a great little tool for simple projects. The last time I used iMovie was iMovie 6. iMovie 11 feels like a hamfisted disaster by comparison.
The project imported just fine. But then I was left with a string of clips that I can't put transitions into, add titles to, or anything useful. No indication of how long the movie would be is visible. I clicked a number of menus, looked around, and couldn't find anything. I Googled. I found an Apple KB article that suggested I can control automatic transitions with the project theme settings. Oh wait, that menu option is greyed out.
Click some more buttons that have no discernable purpose, and whammo, the project list is replaced by something that looks like a timeline without any notion of time. Now I can add titles and transitions. So, I output the movie and finally, we're done. I sent my son out of the room while I cursed at the seemingly brain dead software. My wife had a bit of a laugh at that.
So, is there some sort of tutorial for iMovie 11 that's aimed at people who aren't the "ooh, shiny! video!" type?

Thanks for the response. My system is Windows 7 with a painfully slow ATT
high speed connection.
I got the "Cloud" including CS6 , yesterday,after a chat with a nice Indian
fellow who called me back from Bombay. Surprisingly he was looking forward
to Thanksgiving too but probably because he gets a day off.
I now have the Adobe Premiere Pro loaded (it took nine hours) and
installed. Now I'm starting the tutorials.
Hopefully I'll be editing soon.
Thanks again

Hi GabreilKnight;
You are aware that the PowerMac G5 is no longer being produced hence if you find one it will be on the used market?
For what you are looking at doing I would suggest that you consider a Mac Pro instead.

Pro Video Editing Programs Alternatives for Final Cut

Hey I like to shot and edit movies in my spare time and Ihave a 2006 Macbook and I've tried to install Final Cut Pro X and Final CutStudio 3 only to find unsucessfully that my computer doesn't support them. So Myquestion Are there any good video editing program out there besides the FinalCut Series and Imovie which I have?

You may want to look at Avid's Media Composer. Our facility uses Adobe products. For editing, we're currently using Final Cut Studio 3. At the moment, we're "waiting it out" for the next best choice.

Why can't I drag clips from my source window to my program window on Premiere CS6?

I am only able to drag clips from my source window to my timeline, but not to my program window. Anyone know what the problem might be?
Also, the "insert" and "overwrite" buttons are not working from my source window, nor are their shortcuts ("," or "."). I think the problem with the insert and overwrite buttons is related to the reason I can't drag clips from my source window to my program window. Any advice on either problem would be much appreciated, thanks!

Be sure the appropriate tracks are both targeted and routed.

Editing and saving individual clips for import into iDVD

I've begun a large project digitizing many old family 8mm projector films. Each reel, varying in size from 3 to 20 min, was imported into iMovie HD 6 as individual clips. These clips are, in a sense, self contained movies. I want to use iMovie to mute the sounds, add a soundtrack, and make some visual adjustments. My goal is to create an iDVD project with several submenus based on location, in each menu will be a list of the reels (iMovie clips), that took place in each location.
I've figured out how to do everything except saving and exporting edited clips to iDVD. Since iMovie is set up to create one movie per project (the timeline represents one movie, right?), I can import individual clips into iDVD but they aren't edited. What I want to be able to do is drag one clip into the timeline, make my adjustments, save it, put it back with the other clips to be imported in iDVD, and repeat the process. Is this possible in iMovie? Should I get something else like Final Cut Express?

I gather that what you want to do is modify the clips and save them as self contained movies for eventual import into iDVD.
Edit your clip in iMovie, add your sound track, and then File/Export/compress movie for Full Quality to your desktop as a self contained Quicktime Movie. Each of these self contained Quicktime Movies can be dragged into your iDVD project by dragging them to the edge of the main iDVD menu window.

How to export a schema and import the schema to a different schema name

I am using Oracle9i Oracle Enterprise Manager Console.
I can export the HR to a dmp file.
I have created another user call MYHR and I would like to import hr.dmp to the new user.
1. How can I add a schema using OEM?
I can do it by creating a table in MYHR and refresh OEM.
2. How can I import HR.dmp to MYHR using OEM.
I can import it using command line:
imp user/password@connectstring file='c:\hr.dmp' full='Y'
Any hints are appreciated

Hi,
1.
You don't have to create a schema explictly.
Say you create a user u1. Now this user u1 create some object s, then the schema u1 is automatically created.
Schema is actually a logical collection of objects.
2.
Why using OEM for importing. Using the command is much more easier.
Your command is bit incorrect. Don't use full=y to import a schema.
Use ; imp userid=user/password@connect_string file=filename fromuser=HR touser=MYHR
Better add "log=some text file". Then use can see the log also.
Regards.

How to copy iMovie clips to an sd card

How can I copy iMovie clips from an event and add to a blank SD card to give to a friend?

Assuming you are using iMovie 10 you select your library then right-click - Show Package Contents. You will see a folder for each event. Open the folder of the event you are interested in and you will find a folder "Original Media". This contains the raw clips and stills and you can copy them with the Finder to the SD card. (Don't move or delete anything in the library).

I need help. How to export split track for Final Cut Pro 7 Thanks

I need help. I have edited a film and now the company I have made the film for want a split track of it. I have no idea how to export a split track off Final Cut Pro 7 and I need simple language to explain it to me as I am a beginner. Thanks

I assume you have multiple tracks of audio? And the audio is distributed discretely over these tracks (sync sound on tracks 1 and 2, sound effects on tracks 3 and 4, music on tracks 5 and 6 for example)?
Then duplicate your sequence by clicking on the icon for your sequence in the FCP browser and control-clicking on it. From the drop-down menu choose Duplicate. Double click on the duplicate sequence you just created to load it to the timeline and canvas.
Now, working on the copy you just made of your finished sequence, click anywhere on the timeline, and type Command + 0 {zero} to bring up your sequence settings. Click on the Audio Outputs Tab.
Once the Audio Output Tab opens, set the Outputs to the desired number of discrete tracks you want to export - in this case I will set it to 8, as I have sync sound on tracks 1 & 2, Voice Over on tracks 3 & 4, Sound Effects on tracks 5 & 6 and Music on tracks 7 & 8.
Once I do that the 8 tracks appear. I set them all to Dual Mono as I want them to be discrete tracks:
Once I am done, I click OK and return to the far left side of the timeline where the audio selectors are, and carefully control - clicking in the empty space above the lock symbol,
From the drop down menu I assign the output of each track - track 1 to to output track 1, track 2 to output track 2, doing so to each track:
You need to set the output for each track. Once all my track assignments are done, I go to the menu File > Export . . . > QuickTime Movie and export my sequence, but now it is exporting with 8 discrete tracks of audio.
To do a quick check that everything is OK, re-import the movie you just exported back into FCP, and open it in the Viewer and you will see that it does indeed have the multi-tracks, as 8 mono track tabs appear at the top of the viewer.
Now give that QuickTime a name that includes "Split Tracks" in the title and copy it to your delivery drive.

Clip im importing is too big in program window, and too big in exported media

Hi all, would appreciate any help from you guys im going round the bend- im on a friends machine and trying out PP5 for the first time.
I have a clip im trying to export with two other clips in the same sequence. The clip is a .mov file, 1920 x 1080.
When i right click on the two other clips (Mpegs, 320 x 240) and hit scale to frame, everything goes fine for them in the export and they fit the program window too perfectly. But for some reason when I do it with the above clip, there's lots missing around the edges. I'm even setting the project up to have 1920:1080 (16:9) before I start.
Also, when I import the offending clip into the source window it automatically sets it to 50% and it is viewable perfectly at 50% ( if I change the source window to 100% I can not see the whole frame in the source window). But at 50% in the program window, it is still cutting off huge amounts aroudn the edges.
Can someone please help and suggest some remedy for this? This is driving me demented. Cheers

Hi Jim, thanks for coming back to me- sorry im long getting back to you, ive been working.
I tried your suggestion ( selecting monitor to fit), but it's still cutting a massive amount off the edges of the first clip - which is 1920x1080. The second clip still fits ok though at 320x240.
Some more info - when I import the 1920x1080 into the source monitor, it automatically goes to 50%, and then displays perfectly. Then when I drag it to the timeline, alot of it is cut off around the edges as above. However, if I set tyhe program monitor to 50%, the same amounts are cut off.... Does that help?
Any other ideas?
Thanks again for the help
