  • How to import .mpg files into FCE ?

    I have succesfully installed the MPEG StreamClip & flip4mac into my iMac. So now I can both play wmv files on my iMac as well as importing wmv files into iMovie & FCE.
    But now I have another problem:
    1) How do I play mpg files on my iMac ?
    2) How do I bring import mpg files into FCE ?
    Thank you.

    QTPro gives you many more capabilities than the free player, but I don't think you need it to do anything you've described. You DO need the MPEG-2 Playback component. I'd start there, then see if you need any of the options provided by QTPro.
    Hi there,
    I have purchased the MPEG-2 Playback component from the Apple Store.
    I can now convert the mpg files to mov using the MPEG StreamClip.
    However, I cannot playback the original mpg files using QuickTime Player. I can only playback the original mpg files if I click on the mpg file then goto more info & change open with MPEG StreamClip.
    But how do I open with QuickTime MPEG-2 playback ? I do not even know where the OS installed the MPEG-2 Playback component to ?
    Thanks

  • 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't import mpg files into iMovie

    Hi I just bought a Mac (new user) and wanted to edit some old movies I had saved as an mpg file. However i can't import it into iMovie to edit it which is disappointing as I was looking forward to doing that. Anyone got any suggestions?

    Once the file is converted, is it sufficient to drag and drop into an iMovie event? I tried, and certain conversions still gave me the message "not compatible with iMovie". Others, it appears the files slid into the iMovie event, but when i clicked on that event, they were no where to be found. (says "no matching files"). Any help will be greatly appreciated- I am a newbie and am lost!!

  • How can I import vob files into imovie 09?

    how can I import vob files into imovie 09? i have some home movies on dvd that i want to edit.

    You might want to look at this one too.  Very easy to use and it doesn't require the Apple MPEG-2 playback component.

  • How can i import mpeg files into iMovie?

    how can i import mpeg files into iMovie?

    Where are your MPEG stored?
    I have hundreds of old MPEGs stored in my nexternal drive, but unfortunatly i was not able import them into iMovie. I did the following trick: I created a new set of a folder and subfolder and called it "Virtual_CAM/DCIM" and saved it on my desktop. Then went to Disk Utilities>File Menue>New>Disk Image from Folder. Then selected the folder on my desktop and clicked enter. I moved the .dmg file to my external (or just keep it on your desktop). I clicked on the .dmg file. It shoud be visible on the Finder. Open your Imovie and import as you do from your camera.

  • Import .VOB files into iMovie?

    I have copied footage from my camera (don't have that tapes anymore!) to a DVD. Now I want to import the files into iMovie to edit and so but iMovie doesn't recognize the file-formats on my DVD: .VOB
    Can anyone tell me how I can convert these files so I can import them?
    Thank you very much...

    Ok I was right, the stretching is coming from importing it directly into imovies folder. Unfortunately when I drag the dv file into imovies the quality was not as good as HB.
    Now trying the crop method directly into imovies to see if that fixes the stretching as the picture quality seemed much better, if that don't work I'll save it to my desktop using HB at 100% quality as that seems to be the best and then drag it into imovies quality.
    How, if it was you, would you convert the files back to mpeg2? Is there a free converter as I don't have QT pro? Will SC do it in good quality?
    I also thought (hate to use the pc word) but I may store the file in my external hard drive as a quicktime or divx or another format (what will give me the best quality from the other formats) and then do the conversion to mpeg2. Then use something like dvdshrink to make the file dvd size
    Gees what a bummer man! Just as well I have 2 weeks off work. Not quite the way I was hoping to spend it though!

  • Importing a file into iMovie

    Hi All,
    I am trying to import a file into imovie and it imports with the sound. The file was originally a MUXED file, than I used bbDemux which created 2 seperate files (video & audio) for me. I than brought them back into quicktime pro, combined them and save them as a .MOV file. The file is no longer muxxed but the sound is still missing when I import into iMovie. Any suggestions... Do I need to compress this file, and if so... How?

    The file was originally a MUXED file, than I used bbDemux which created 2 seperate files (video & audio) for me.
    What are the audio and video formats at this point? (I.e., did you simply demux the data or perform any sort of conversion as part of the process?)
    I than brought them back into quicktime pro, combined them and save them as a .MOV file.
    Are you using "Paste" or "Add" to combine the two tracks at this point? (I.e., if the files were demuxed and converted to a QT format, are you merging them sequentially or symchronized "frame-to-frame" here? If not performing any conversion as part of the demux process, switch to an application/utility like MPEG Streamclip that does both as a seamless process that produces an iMovie compatible file in a single step.

  • Importing quicktime file into iMovie 11 resulting in distortion

    After having trouble importing Quicktime files into iMovie hd6, I decided to buy iMovie 11. So the file imports without squishing the image into 4:3 as it did in iMovie hd6, but now the movie has a strange strobe like flashing that is not present in the original.
    Any ideas?

    See if you can open the file in QuickTIme PLayer. Click Command-I (or WINDOW/INSPECTOR) in QuickTime Player. Tell us what is listed by the word FORMAT:

  • Importing mov files into iMovie events

    Hi
    This is my first post ever on this site. Here goes!
    I am new to iMovie, but have had someone more experienced trying to help but to no avail!
    I am trying to import mov files into iMovie Events. However in the file menu there is no "events' option, so I chose 'Import Movies'. But ultimately when I click on the mov files they are greyed out.
    The version of iMovie I have is iMovie '08 - 7.1.4
    When I first opened iMovie it offered to update to the latest version, but in the end it said 'No updates available'. When I looked into this in the Apple Store, it said you need Mac OSX 10.7 or above to get the latest version. My Mac is 10.6.8, so won't support the latest version. However, can I not still use the version I have? What is wrong here?
    Any help much appreciated - thanks.
    Ermina.

    If you don't get an answer here, you might want to post your question in the iMovie discussion here.

    Hi Appleman - thanks for your guidance.
    OK RealTime Inspector: Dimensions of my clips - as I don't know which bit this is I will list everything under Inspector, including Format:
    00117
    00117
    33.30
    Format:MPEG-4 Video, 1280 x 720 millions
    AAC, 2channels, 44100Hz
    FPS29.97
    Data Size2.57GB
    Data Rate 10.20 Mbits/s
    Current size 1280 x 720 pixels (Actual)
    And re the types of tracks you mention that iMovie '08 can't import, I don't much about film clips so haven't yet made sense of this, tho I do see that the clips are organised into chapters, so presumably this is 'chapter tracks'?
    Thanks - I'll await your further instructions :-)

  • Import a .MPG file into iMovie

    I have a lot of .MPG files on a disk that I want to import into iMovie.
    These files were recorded on a Sony Handycam.
    I cannot import these files into iPhoto or iMovie. I have downloaded VLC so are able to watch these files individually but would like to edit and join these clips to make one movie.
    1. How can I convert these files so they are compatible with iMovie / iPhoto.
    I have been reading all the Help / Forum discussion and I am now very confused.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Still a bit of a hack at this, so plain english would helpful.
    Thank you.

    have you tried running them thru "Hand Brake" to convert them into mp4 files? Hand Brake is a free down load.
    i am a bit of a hack as well so this may or may not work. I am currently trying to find the right software to grab some footage from a commercial DVD for some personal work and cannot get it to work so i feel your pain.

  • Export settings to QT, then import QT file into iMovie - HELP

    Last week quicktimekirk led me through this problem successfully (thanks Kirk!). But after having to take off about 10 days to focus on other priorities, I'm having problems duplicating last week's successful step by step procedure. Outlined below are the steps I'm using, starting with Keynote - QT, which look awesome played in QT, but the QT file won't import to iMovie. I get an "unknown error message. Here's how I have things set right now...
    1. Open inspector/document and choose:
    Presentation - normal
    Slide size - 1920x1080
    2. File/export:
    Self playing movie
    Slide duration 5
    Build duration 2
    Custom:
    Video - Full size (1920x1080)
    Select include transparency
    Settings
    Compression type: AIC
    Frame rate: 24
    Compressor:HDV720
    CHECK THE FOLLOWING:
    Video compressor: H264
    Video size:1920x1080
    FPS - 24
    Now, when I try to import the QT file into iMovie, I get an error message that says the file wasn't imported; unknown error. Can someone give me a clue?

    It seems that every time you reply your goal has changed.
    If you're worried about the self-contained movie requiring FCP to open, that's a simple fix. Right-click on the file and choose Get Info. In the Info window, change the 'Opens With' to QuickTime Player. You'll maintain the best quality and others won't need FCP to open it.
