How to fit an iMovie project in one DVD

How can I tell if an iMovie Project will fit in one DVD using iDVD?

If it's just under 2 hours long ..it'll fit. (If it's just under 1 hour long it'll fit, and possibly appear to have slightly higher quality.)
iDVD compresses video for duration, rather than anything to do with file size.

  • I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?

    I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?  Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

    This should give you some good insight, I'd probably store them on an External HD on the old machine and then just drag and drop to the new machine.

  • Burn multiple imovie projects to one dvd with menu

    How do i burn multiple Imovie projects to one dvd with roxio toast 10? Can i add all of the projects or do i need to export them as a quicktime movie first or something?

    You can share the first movie from iMovie, but all the others will need to be exported from iMovie as movies and dragged into the iMovie project.

  • Putting multiple iMovie projects onto one DVD

    I was wondering if there was a way to put multiple iMovie projects onto one DVD using iDVD?

    actually none of those options worked probably since the movies were in IMOVIE2
    Ah... You didn't say it was an iMovie 2 project. iMovie project is different from iMovie HD.
    I want to store the image file from the dvd's off site as I don't have the space to archive the projects - it seems I can't do that as it copies over to the server but shows up as a 4kb file - any suggestions how I can do this?
    I might be wrong (since I don't have iMovie 2), I assume iMovie 2 has the similar QT "reference" movie as the iMovie HD. This "reference" movie is not a "self-contained" (a QT term) movie, i.e. it only has instructions of the makeup of the "real" movies. You cannot use it to archive. If you want to offload your movie from your computer, you should copy the entire iMovie 2 project folder to an external archive.

  • Is there a way to have iDVD have accommodate more than one iMovie project on one DVD?

    Looking for a way to have more than one iMovie Project burned to one DVD through iDVD.  Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Hi
    YES - But do not use "Share to iDVD" in any version of iMovie as this will degrade the final result - BUT
    Share to Media Browser - and as Large (Not HD or other resolutions as this too degrades the final DVD)
    Now when Your movies are Shared. Close iMovie
    Open iDVD and import movies from Media button/Movies (down to the right)
    And You can add up to 99 movies - or 60/120 minutes (reg encoding quality chosen)
    Time is = Movie duration + MENU DURATION (can take 15 minutes or more if elaborated)
    (I keep it as simple possibly)

  • How do I burn multiple projects onto one DVD?

    I have several projects saved that are small enough to fit on one DVD.  Not sure, though, if I burn project #2 after project 1 has been burned, whether the software is smart enough to keep them separate and not over-write project #1.

    Once you have burned a Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO format on DVD-R disc, the disc is finalized and you cannot burn a second time on that same disc (no multisessions). Even if you use a DVD-RW disc, the program will erase what is on the disc before burning anything to it.
    Now, if you have 3 projects and you want to combine them to be part of one DVD-VIDEO on DVD, then you need to remember that you cannot import a project (project.prel) into another project.prel. So, you have going to have to export the Timeline of each of the projects to a file. The file type selected should be consistent with the goals of the project. To be discussed in more details if necessary.Then each file is brought into a new project (set with the appropriate project preset) which is burned to DVD VIDEO on DVD disc.
    Stop markers at the end of each of the first two files is done. But, never place a stop marker at the end of the last file on the Timeline. It is not needed and can cause problems in the project.
    Please consider and let us know if you need clarification on anything written.
    Thank you.

  • How to burn an iMovie project to a DVD

    I have created a movie using iMovie version 10.0 6.  I have iDVD version 7.1.2.  The only "sharing" in this version of iMovie are Theater, Email, iTunes, You Tube, Facebook, Vimeo, CNN Rept, File and Image.  There is no export button, no media browser and no iDVD.  How can I get the movie project out of iMovie and into iDVD so I can burn it to a DVD?

    iMovie 10 is not very good for making DVDs.  My favorite is iMovie HD 06, or iMovie 11.   With iMovie HD 06, 1 click and you are sharing with iDVD. Moreover, one click will allow you to create chapter markers that are automatically recognized by iDVD.   Apple removed the ability to create chapter markers in iMovie 10. IMovie HD 06 is readily available on Amazon as part of iLife 06. It does cost more, but worth every penny.

    Share ➙ iDVD method works with older, (better) iMovie versions. 
    In iMovie 10:  You want to use the Share  ➙ Media Browser method and then access the movie in iDVD via the Media Browser.  But you will not be able to create chapter markers.

  • How to move iMovie project from one computer to another

    I have been working on an iMovie 09 project on my desktop at home.
    Now I want to work on the same project on my computer at work.
    How can I move the project from one computer to another?   What I've already tried was to make a duplicate copy of the project and then use a thumb drive to move that to another computer.   It didn't work.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello James Snedeker,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to move a file to another disk. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    iMovie: How to Save Projects to Another Hard Disk
    To copy an iMovie project to another disk:
    1. Quit iMovie if it is open. 
    2. Locate the project folder in the Finder.
    3. Drag the project folder to the other disk.
    Note: You must move the complete project folder, intact, to the other disk in order to successfully copy the project. The project folder has the same name as the project listed in the iMovie window. This folder includes the iMovie project file, as well as a Media folder, which contains all of the clips associated with this project. If you don't copy all of these items, the project may no longer be readable in iMovie.
    Once you have copied the project, try opening it in iMovie to ensure that it copied to the other disk successfully.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • How do you import multiple iMovie projects into one iDVD project?

    Hi.
    I'm 17, and am trying to create a DVD of when the family went on a cruise. For different places/days, I've created different iMovie projects.
    But, when I want to export to iDVD, it only lets me put one iMovie project into one iDVD project?
    I've tried dragging the actual iMovie project files into iDVD but that doesn't work.
    I know I could export to QuickTime and then drag it into iDVD, but it seems exporting just to iDVD is much quicker, and the quality is better.
    Anyone know how I can do this?
    cheers
    +P.S. If it helps, it's iMovie '11 with iDVD '09.+

    That is not true. You can use them all in one DVD. I have just created my first DVD which has a trailer, a movie with chapters and several different slide shows.
    All you have to do is save each project to Media Browser. (Choose Share in toolbar). Open iDVD and choose your theme or no theme. On the right will be all your options such as audio, media photo's etc. Choose your various video's/projects etc and just drag and drop which ones you want to the page and they will automatically put themselves there with the given name of each video/project.

  • How do i migrate all my imovie projects from one computer to another

    how do i migrate all my imovie projects from one computer to another

    You need to attach the computers to one another say with a firewire cable? Or use an external hard drive to copy the Events/Projects and then move the hard drive to the other computer. Are you able to do either one of these first?

    Hi,
    You can deploy the ADF Project as an ADF Library Jar file and reuse the taskflow from that jar file in another BPM Application.

  • How do I transfer imovie projects and events to new mac from external hard drive

    bought a  macbook pro retina.  backed up 3yr old macbook pro to external hard drive.  how do I transfer imovie projects and events to new mac?  thanks!

    Hi dalbatross,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Did you set up your new computer by creating a Time Machine backup and restoring from it?
    If so, the Events and Projects that were on your internal Macintosh HD would copied to your new computer.
    Here is another way to copy the events & projects to the new computer from the external drive:

    The selected library is opened in the Libraries list, with the first event selected and its contents displayed in the browser.
    In the Libraries list, select the event that contains the item you want to move or copy.
    In the browser, select the item you want to move or copy.Note:  To select multiple items, hold down the Command key as you click the items you want to select, or drag a selection rectangle around the items.
    Do one of the following:
    To move items between events or libraries: Drag the clip or project to another event or library.
    To copy items between events or libraries: Option-drag the clip or project to another event or library by first starting to drag and then holding down the Option key as you drag.

  • How can I save my iMovie Project to a DVD or Flash Drive which can be played on a PC and any DVD player

    I have an iMac, purchased in January 2011. How can I save an iMovie project to a DVD or Flash Drive which can be played on a PC or any DVD player

    I will give you a basic primer, not going to get to in depth, as far as parameters, size of project, or the storage size of your usb flash drive, etc.
    1. you have your finished iMovie project. Under iMovie>Share menu. Choose export using quicktime.
    2. make Movie self contained. This way your Mov, Mvi, etc files will be part of the movie and it can play without having to reference the events, because it is actually there.
    3. so, now on your desktop  ( or any where else set up quicktime to save your file) you will see a quicktime file.
         Drag & Drop that file on to the icon of your USB Flash Drive, etc.
    4. Details that I omitted because I admit I am not well versed. Most Likely that quicktime file is larger than your USB Flash Drive. You have to use one of quicktime compression work flows, also if you open the just created quicktime file. It will open quicktime player and under the File>Export you have to options. I have a Movie that was 42GB 1080P, I exported it as a 720P, so it would still be playable on a large screen and now the new file was less than 2.5GB.
    5. Oh, no i just realized that the file should be playable on a PC, as long as the PC has quicktime for windows installled and you left that USB formated at MS DOS as it came originally, or a PC will not recognize it. Will it open up on your Blu-Ray Player that has a USB port, not sure. Since there is no menu. but, perhaps just pushing play will start movie.
    Hope this is of some help.
