How to put movie from disc back into imovie?

Hi, I have just put a disc that I created using iMovie and iDVD back into my G4 using Disc Utility. Seems easy to burn an exact copy, but I would like to get the movie on the disc back into iMovie so I can edit it further and make it part of a new iDVD project. Is this possible?
Thanks
Chris

Hi, Christine,
Yes, you can do it. See this for some help/suggestions as to what to use and how to do it: http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?128@@.68b7d7a6
You will lose some quality but it may not be so much to bother you.
You should always save your finished movies back to the camcorder DV tape. That way, you can always reimport that footage into any new iMovie project.
Either way, you will not be able to do the tight editing as you could on the original iMovie, but you can certainly add it to other movies, insert new movies, and delete some portions of your first movie. Remember that the audio you added as separate tracks will now be incorporated into the video and will not appear as separate tracks under the video.
Hope this is helpful!

I'll stay in this chat ... I answered in the other one ... I have a Sony digital Handycam ... from years ago. I just got the LaCie and I think I formatted it for only to be used on my Mac ... how should I go about reformatting it to be HFS Extended like you said?

How do you move movies from iPhoto library into iMovie

Previously, short movie clips that were downloaded from my digital camera into iPhoto automatically appeared in iMovie. Now, however, these movie clips still remain in my iPhoto library but do not show up in the Event Library under the iPhoto Videos folder. How do I get them back into iMovie? These are movies going back to 2004. Before they "disappeared" I had edited 250 clips and shared them in iTunes. They remain in my Project Library in iMovie but I'd like to finish editing them and sharing them in iTunes. I am working with iMovie '09, 8.0.6 (821) and iPhoto version 9.6 (910.29).

Greetings Joy,
If you are having an issue with some video showing up in iPhoto but not being available in iMovie, use the steps in this article to bring it over -

Hard disk failure, replaced; how to get songs from iPod back into iTunes

How do I get all songs from iPod back into iTunes?
(mix of CD sourced and iTunes shop sourced)

I can't believe there's no answer to this. Apple wants to charge customers for support but this has got to be happening thousands of times a day what with Windows OS reinstalls being what they are-numerous! Please let me know if/when you get a reply, thx!

With New 7.0 how to put movies from Library into iPod??

Help Please.
I now have 7.0 and usually I drag and drop movies into my ipod from itunes library. I have several short movies already in the ipod and it seems if I want to add more, the ones that are in will be taken out and replaced with the new one. I changed my orriginal movies to m4p and did not keep them in the library, so I think I will lose them when I try to add.
The only way I can think of to do it is to revert back to 6.3, put in the movie and then update again.
Is there any way I can keep my movies in the ipod and add more without losing them?? Any ideas??
many thanks Chrisie

additional info: I found some hint that the iPad can't take just any old movie format, so I used "Convert to format for iPad", an option i had never seen on iTunes on my imac before. But sadly, even the .m4v format of the movie will not show up on the iPad under iTunes nor under iMovie.
I can certainly take an iPad iMovie trailer to the iMac if I 'finish' it, but it is a final a product, so i would have to break it up into all the little sections again.
So I still cannot seem to move a movie file to the iPad iMovie edit window. All my 'finished' iMovies show up under "movies" on the iPad, but never under the iMovie edit window. Hope that's clear.
I want to use those new trailers with my home video.
NEWEST Update, still no joy
I found this tech article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4792 that says i can move an iMovie from iOS to iMovie on my Mac. I followed the steps exactly, but iMovie on teh Mac does not recognize the iMovie Trailer, so the Import button stays grayed out.
so close.

A virus wiped out my hard drive. and now i have an empty library. how do I put files from iPod back into my library?

Why is my library empty once reloading iTunes on 'repaired' PC?
How do I get all my music from iPod to Library?

Pierre, South Dakota? If so that's awesome. Go South Dakota!
Anyways, the first thing you can do is transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod Touch to your PC. To do this, choose File -> Transfer Purchases in iTunes. You should authorize your new PC before doing this by clicking the Store drop down menu and selecting Authorize this Computer. Then enter in your Apple ID/iTunes Store account credentials.
For all other content that was not purchased from the iTunes store, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different software available to assist you with this task.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Finally, right->click on your iPod Touch under the Devices section in iTunes, and choose Backup. Then after erasing and syncing your iPod, restore from that back up. Or better yet, copy a backup from your old PC to your new one if at all possible. Here is more information on backing up and restoring your iPod .

How to put movies from iMac to iPad and use iMovie

I have enjoyed using iMovie on the Mac to create "Trailers" of my family movies. I purchased iMovie for iPad and there are some new interesting "Trailers", different from the ones on the Mac. So I'd like to try them out.
But I cannot figure out how to move .MOV files onto an iPad. (Ironic, I know). Here are the things I've tried.
1. I tried a straight drag and drop when the iPad was connected, from Finder window to iPad on the Device. No go.
2. I tried to create an iTunes playlist of the movie, which works fine on iTunes on the Mac. but
a. It won't show up on iTunes on the iPad, even after making sure it was supposed to be synced and checked
b. It won't show up in iMovie on the iPad
3. I tried to put it into iPhoto on the Mac, and made an 'album' with it. It won't show up on the iPad even after careful syncing.
As a test, i recorded a few seconds of video on the iPad, and of course it works fine. But the videos I am interested in turning into Trailers are movies I have already recorded of my family. "Gee, Wally, isn't there a way to do this?"
Is there any way to put a video from iMac to iPad?

I cannot open movie rentals on the ipod. if I try to update it it tells me to move the rentals back into my Library bu I tunes will not allow me to do that. how can I move the rebtals back into the library?

How can I move rentals from my Ipod back into my I tunes Library?

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

My hard drive crashed on my PC - how do I restore from iPhone back into iTunes?

My hard drive crashed on my PC - how do I get the 24 GB of music off my iPhone and back into iTunes?

You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

How to put edited AE clips back into PPro? (CS5.5)

Okay, so, here it goes.
I edit my main footage in Premiere Pro. I recently purchased a denoising software that only is compatible with After Effects, so I have been using the denoiser plugin in After Effects. After I edit my basic video cut in Premiere, I select all of the clips (including audio) in the timeline, and open it in a new AE comp. After it has been opened, I do all of my major video touch ups in AE (such as denoising). Now, when I try to export the project as a Premiere Pro (PP) project and open it in Premiere, it doesn't load the project. It's just an empty sequence. That is not a big deal though, because I tried something else. I tried linking the AE composition from AE to PP which works, but it is very slow and precomposes all of the individual clips into one video clip.
So, just to go over it again, this is what I did: Cut clips in PP > Selected all clips in the timeline of PP and opened them in a new AE comp > Edited the individual clips inside the AE comp w/ effects that are not supported by PP (only AE supports the denoiser effect) > opened the edited AE comp in PP > then the comp came up as a precomposed video clip instead of individual clips.
So, my question is, how do I get the comp from AE to stay as individual clips when I open it in PP in case I need to adjust something? Is there a way to do this? Or should I just do the denoise effect very last?
Two other things:
(1) I noticed that it is extremely slow in PP to render parts of an AE comp... is it just because of the added effects?
(2) I transcode my video footage to ProRes 422 before I bring them into PP. Once I bring the clips into AE and then back into PP (if I figure out how to), will the clips still be the same ProRes codec? I need them to be the same codec due to color grading and effects later on in post.
Thank you SO MUCH if you can answer this! ANY help is appreciated! I explained this pretty much as good as I can, so if you don't understand my question, just ask, and I'll try to give you more info. Thanks!!

I select all of the clips (including audio) in the timeline, and open it in a new AE comp.
That's where you messed up. Instead, right click on each clip you want to fix, and choose Replace with After Effects Composition. Then redo your effects.

Importing a VLC movies from .avi files into iMovie

I have a camera that records in .avi and I watch them on my Mac with VLC.
Is there a way to import these video clips into iMovie. I do not seem to be doing it correctly.
Thanks for any help.

Hi megrove,
You may need to convert the .avi clips to another format. The free program MPEG Streamclip can convert most formats. It's downloadable from this site: http://www.squared5.com/
It's best to convert to AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec). This is the format that iMovie automatically converts compressed files to when importing from cameras or camera archives, for example, AVCHD .mts files. The conversion process expands the compressed files into full frames suitable for editing by iMovie. MPEG Streamclip will do this conversion for you, allowing the exported AIC file to be easily imported to iMovie without further conversion.
MPEG Streamclip can also convert files to the H.264 format, which also works nicely with iMovie '09.

How to put iTunes digital booklets back into iTunes
