How to: Save a movie file created in iMovie on iPhone4 and send it in an email with iPhone4

Hello everyone.
I just wanted to know if it was possible to save a video/movie file to your iPhone4, that was created in iMovie'11 and then email it using the phone's wifi capability to contacts? I created the film in iMovie'11 and then shared it to iTunes and now i'm stuck. Please help. New at this and we're trying to figure this stuff out.
Thanks.

I did try that BUT the DVD will NOT play in my dvd player. The large size 'share' option converted the imovie file into a m4v format. TOAST burned it okay but it won't open in the player.
Any other suggestions will be appreciated...

How do I import .mov files into iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes?

This is just a hunch - are they AVCHD? What type of camera/camcorder are they from?

There are many more hits if you do a search in the forums on those.
If they are not, then post back with camera info including what it says in the specs about the file forumat it shoots video in.

How to put a .mov file on a dvd using lion and have a commercial DVD player play my movie? iDVD is gone. I never had it.

I have found a lot of frustration around this topic but no answers.
I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Version 10.7.4.
I have a video I made with iMovie. I want to burn it to a DVD for commercial DVD playback. It's as simple as that.
Things I've tried.
1. Using iMovie, I saved an HD version of the project to my desktop as a .MOV file. I know I can just burn that to a DVD. It won't play. I need a utility/program to put the necessary files on the DVD so a commercial namebrand DVD player will have what it needs.
2. I heard iDVD used to do this but it's not on my MacBook Pro (Lion OS). I've researched things like "What replaced iDVD" but found nothing but a but of complaining. (and I can see why).
3. I have looked for freeware. It all looks fishy.
Other options I'm looking into.
Use my Mac and connect a cable to the big TV screen. Play the movie using this screen as a secondary monitor. Problem - I have a dozen cables but none for this combo.
Move the .MOV file to a PC and play it using QuickTime. The cables I have will work for a PC to TV. Sad option.

Have you tried...     Burn 2.5.1 (FREE)

Give it a try, it may just serve as the temporary fix you are looking for. Make sure to download the 64-bit version.

How To Delete .mov file Created In Quick Time

How do I delete an audio file created in Quick Time Player and saved in my Movies folder as a .mov file? I can't drag it to Trash, and I can't access the delete option in the Edit dropdown, and Help doesn't seem to cover that topic. It just puts the floating blue marker beside Select All, which seems to do nothing much.
Many thanks.

Right click (Control click) and choose Move to Trash.

How do I save a .mov file to camera roll with IOS6

I uploaded the new IOS6 op system and now I cannot save a .mov file to my camera roll. The option is not there as it was in IOS5.
Anyone having this issue and are there any work arounds? Thanks

Import it to iTunes by drag to the open iTunes Music window.
Mark it there by clickin once.
Go to the menu and search for "new version for…" .
Wait, if ready, right-click the new file once and you can see it in the finder to work with it.
But do not change location.
Only work with a duplicate by holding down option key when dragging to an other place.
If you want to delete it from its original location, do it within iTunes.

How can I convert .mov files for use with other apps?

When loading movies taken on a friend's digital camera to my PC, the video files were saved as Quicktime .mov files. I am now unable to pull those files into any other software program (I want to put them onto a CD or DVD and play on external players.) How can I convert .mov files to a .wmv or .avi or mpeg?
Thanks - J

Kodak Digital Camera QuickTime MOV Problems
After battling a number of serious problems with the videos taken by my new Kodak Digital Camera, I decided to write up this page so that anyone searching the web would find out the true answers without as much grief!
I’ve also made some other comments about my experience with the camera, in case anyone was considering buying a Kodak camera in the near future.
I bought the camera just before Christmas 2004 in the US. At the time of writing, it is a pretty good model for domestic use—about 5.2 megapixels, costing about US$400 (or AU$600 back here in Australia). From a company as reputable as Kodak, I expected no problems.
The first disappointing thing was that the spring inside the spring-loaded battery clip, inside the camera, came loose within days. It proved impossible to reattach it without completely dismantling the camera, which (despite my engineering qualifications) I was not willing to do. This would usually have been a warranty item, but Kodak’s warranty does not extend to other countries. I’ve since had to jam cardboard in to keep the battery clip engaged, and have taped the battery bay shut to avoid it opening accidentally when taking the camera out of the case. This works fine with the docking station (an extra AU$100!), but it means I can no longer charge the battery without the docking station (since you need to take it out to charge it). I was not impressed!
The camera takes good photos, and I have no complaint with that. The controls and camera menus are well-designed. The large display is excellent.
The EasyShare software is not as easy to use as it looks, has a habit of crashing, has a web update program that is always running in the background of Windows, and transferring images is nowhere as easy or quick as it should be. I’ve now uninstalled it completely, and simply copy the photos directly from the device. (If the camera memory is nearly full, and you just want to transfer the last few photos, then it’s impossible to use the EasyShare software to browse the camera’s photos without it actually downloading the whole lot through the USB cable—and it takes forever! Copying from the device directly doesn’t hit this bug.)
The capability to take video using the camera was a great attraction when I selected it, and, if it worked properly, it would make it quite a handy little camcorder in its own right. With a 512 MB memory card in it, over an hour of video can be recorded at Video-CD quality (320 x 240 24fps video, 8 kHz audio). It’s not full digital video, but it would still be a pretty good feature for a US$400 camera. If it worked.
The first disappointing thing about taking videos is that the optical zoom cannot be adjusted while the camera is recording. It can only be adjusted between video sequences. I don’t know why this restriction was made in the design.
The real problems, however, start when you try to do anything with the video clips captured by the camera. Kodak has chosen to capture the videos in QuickTime format. This is fine—QuickTime is, technically, excellent—except that there is no simple way to convert QuickTime MOV files to AVI or MPEG or VCD. The Kodak software comes with a QuickTime player, so you can see the video clips on the computer you installed the software on—and they look good. Problem is that you can’t just dump those MOV files onto your Video-CD creator (it will usually want AVI or MPEG files).
It takes some time to realise that Kodak have not even bothered to include any software with the camera that can convert these MOV files to a more useful format. This is a serious PR blunder, and anyone bitten by this is unlikely to go near the Kodak brand ever again.
After some web searching, owners of these cameras generally find that the best (only?) freeware solution to convert MOV to AVI is Bink and Smacker’s RADtools program.
RADtools is amazingly powerful for the price (i.e. free), but it hits two fundamental problems with Kodak Digital Camera MOV video files, that are the fault of the Kodak camera, not RADtools. (I know this because every other MOV converter hits the same problems—except one, as you will see below.)
The first problem is that the sound cannot be converted properly. When you convert any Kodak MOV files, there is an “aliasing” of the sound at the upper frequencies. This is a technical description—you get a whispery, tinny, C3PO type of echo to everything. It really destroys the quality of the video clips (especially bad when I am trying to capture priceless memories of my 4- and 7-year-old sons—I don’t want their voices destroyed for all time).
Every conversion program I tried ended up with the same audio problem. I concluded that it is something strange in the way the Kodak cameras store the MOV files.
Strangely enough, I noticed that the QuickTime player didn’t distort the audio like this. The audio sounds just fine through QuickTime. More on this shortly.
The second, more serious problem is that RADtools could not properly convert some of the video clips at all. (This problem only affected less than 10% of the clips I originally filmed, but most of those clips were very short—less than 20 seconds. It seems that the probability of this problem gets worse, the longer the clip.) RADtools would misreport the number of frames in the clip, and would stretch out a small number of frames of video (in slow motion) to match the length of the audio.
Again, I confirmed that this is a property of some of the MOV files stored by the camera. Other conversion tools also had problems with the same MOV clips.
After more angst, I found a number of websites in which frustrated owners of these Kodak cameras have reported the exact same problems.
It was only then that I discovered that QuickTime itself can convert MOV files to AVI. Believe it or not, it’s built into the QuickTime Player that Kodak supplies, or that you can download free from apple.com. The problem is that you can’t use it unless you pay Apple to upgrade to QuickTime Pro.
After realising that this would probably be the only way to get decent audio for these clips, I paid the AU$59 to Apple Australia to get the licence key that enables the extra “Pro” menu options in QuickTime.
Sure enough, you can “Export” any MOV file to a number of formats, including AVI. And guess what? The audio comes out fine!
So, the first piece of advice I can give is: pay Apple the US$29 (or whatever amount it is in your country) to upgrade QuickTime to QuickTime Pro.
From here, however, there are still a few snags to untangle.
The first is that the default settings for Exporting to AVI don’t give a great result. It defaults to the Cinepak codec, medium quality. This looks terrible compared to the original QuickTime movie. Even on maximum quality, that codec just doesn’t give good results.
I finally found that the best option is to use the Intel Indeo Video 4.4 codec, set on maximum quality. This creates AVI files that are 10 to 20 times larger than the original MOV files, but the quality is there. If (like me) you only want the AVI files so you can dump them into your Video-CD program, then you want to keep the quality as high as possible in this first step. The extra hard disk space is not really a concern. When your VCD program converts the AVI files to MPEG, it will compress them to the usual VCD size.
Now for the biggest snag: those problem MOV files are still a problem, even for QuickTime Pro. Unbelievably, these Kodak cameras are spitting out MOV files which have some sort of technical flaw in their data specifications. QuickTime is able to play them back fine—and that seems to be all that the Kodak engineers really checked. However, if QuickTime Pro tries to export them, then when the progress bar gets to the end, it never finishes. It just keeps going. If you check the output folder with Explorer, and keep hitting F5 to update the file listing, you can see the file getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger. It never stops.
That this happens even for QuickTime itself (the native format for these files) confirms that the problem is with the software built into these Kodak cameras. It would be nice it they issued a patch or a fix. I couldn’t find one.
Fortunately, there is a “workaround” for this problem. I found it when trolling the net trying to find solutions to all these problems. The workaround is to use QuickTime Pro’s cut and paste facility. Open the problem MOV file, then press Ctrl-A (the standard key combination for “select all”—in this case it selects the entire film clip, as you can see by the grey selection of frames at the bottom of the player). Then hit Ctrl-C (i.e. copy, which in this case copies all the frames, but not the incorrect data structure in the original MOV file). Now hit Ctrl-N (i.e. new, in this case a new MOV file or player). In this new player, press Ctrl-V (i.e. paste). Now you have a new version of the MOV file with the bad data structure exorcised. You can save this under a new name, but make sure you specify “Make movie self-contained”—otherwise, it will simply be a link to the original (bad) MOV file, which you are probably going to delete once you save the exorcised version. (You also cannot overwrite the original file, because it needs to access that to make the “self-contained” movie. You need to give it a slightly different name, save it “self-contained”, then delete the original and rename the new copy back to what you wanted it to be. A pain, I agree, but at least the **** thing works—finally!)
The exorcised MOV file can now be used to Export to AVI format. (I also keep all the MOV files on a separate CD, in case I want to reconvert them to a different format in the future. I figure it’s better keeping the exorcised ones than the haunted ones.)
So I hope that all this answers a few of your questions. No, you weren’t being incredibly stupid.

Strange that I can save a pdf file created in windows 8.1 to my cloud storage

Strange that I can save a pdf file created in windows 8.1 to my cloud storage, but then I don't see it when I open my account. What is strange is that when I try again to save the file, system ask me to change the file name or over write current file. But file not present in my drive. Any help would be much appreciated

Opening .mov files created in iphoto

I have read a lot of the post on this subject, and I would like to narrow down exactly my issue with importing .mov files.
I have created a slide show in iphoto, I wanted to get it into imovie to add some titles. I am new to Mac so I paid for one to one sessions. I have been to 3 so far concerning video production.
I was told by my traininer to:
created slide show in iphoto
share it to iDVD
import it back into iMovie
Seemed like a very back door way of doing things for an 'intergrated' brand new application, but then again I am new to MAC.
Well.. I tried it but the .mov files are not selectable. Same problem MANY are having.
Being that I started in an Apple / ilife application, I don't think we can blame it on a third party application or hardware.
Is there a solution on how to get my .mov files into imovie?
Thanks,
JWB

This all makes sense. My observation is that in iPhoto you have random transitions which is not available in iMovie08. I frequently put together slide shows of over 150 photos and the SAME transition over and over is a bit tidius. Random option is great.
Also, iPhoto has the ability for me to figure about how many songs I want for the number of slides, 'stitch' them together in garage band and then LET iPhoto do the hard work of making the slide's duration match the length of the movie.
I know I can accomplish both right in iMovie, but not nearly as easily.
I guess no such thing as a perfect product.
Thanks again, I'm learning because of you.

Is there a way to load a movie file created using FlattenMovie() function ?

Is there a way to load a movie file created using FlattenMovie() function ? I tried with NewMovieFromFile() , everything went well but the movie video track somehow had been corrupted.
The thing is I could nicely convert the original Movie data structure using an export component. But the one I recreated after saving disk did not converted well ( It produced only sound ). Plz help I seached all over the documents to unerstand 'How to use flattened files' but could not.

Can't save internet .mov files

I just recently upgraded to Quicktime Pro for Windows specifically so I could save several .mov files posted on a website as part of a proposal I have to give. Unfortunately, I've tried saving the movies as both source and as Quicktime Movie, and neither actually saves. I have the option to save when I click the down arrow after the movies have loaded, and my PC acts as though it's saving the files when I attempt to save, but then nothing actually shows up in the file destination I've selected. I've tried several times and have nothing to show for it - anyone have any ideas?

Sorry I can't help, I have the same problem. I installed Quicktime Pro, registered, and everything looked ok. Until I tried to save, save as, or export. I can't create any output at all. I edited a .mov file then tried to do a "save as". It appeared to go ok, but no file was created. When I try to do an export, I do get an error message "Error -43: a file could not be found". It never mentions WHICH file could not be found (I suspect the one I was trying to create)! I de-installed and re-installed with no luck. I thought Apple software was supposed to work?!

How can I transfer .mov files to my iPad?

How can I transfer .mov files to my iPad?

If it's on a SD card in your camera, you cau use the camera connection kit, either by connecting the camera or inserting the SD card.
If it's on your computer, you can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
 Cheers, Tom

How to save a movie that is on a dvd to iTunes?

I need the steps to how to save a movie that is on a dvd to save in itunes.

If it's on a copy protected video DVD, you can't.
If it's on an unprotected video DVD, use a product such as MPEG Streamclip to convert the VOB files on it to MPEG-4.
If it's on a data DVD, import it as you would any other file. Conversion may be necessary.

Unwanted Pillarboxing in 4:3 .mov file created from 4:3 .avi file

I have been having problems prepping 4:3 .AVI and .DV files for use in Final Cut Express 4. Final Cut Pro is happiest using DV/DVCPRO .mov files, so I have been using Quicktime Pro to do the conversion. The problem is that QTP adds pillarboxing into the video converted from the AVIs: approximately 7 pixels wide black bars on the left and right edges of the video frame. The black bars are NOT visible in the original AVI when it is viewed in QTP, no matter what presentation aperture I select in the QTP Movie Properties window. The black bars are visible in the converted file (DV/DVCPRO .mov) created from the AVI when I view it in QTP, in any presentation aperture but "Clean".
If I drop the .mov files into either iMovie 6 or FCE 4, the bars are visible. If I drop the original AVI into FCE 4 or iMovie 6, there are no black bars. Interestingly, when I drag the .DV files iMovie 6 creates from the AVI out of iMovie and then play it in QTP, it does not have black bars (using any presentation aperture). I can drop this .DV into FCE 4 and see no black bars. If I use QTP to convert the original file AVI to the same .DV format as created by iMovie, I get black bars!
Quicktime and Quicktime Pro Version is 7.3.1.
The initial AVI format is: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640x480 (its 4:3 video with square pixels), 30fps, progressive, millions of colors, Sound: 8-bit unsigned integer mono, 11.024kHz.
The output QT .mov file format I am using is: DV/DVCPRO, 4:3, 29.97fps, progressive, Sound : 16-bit 48 kHz, Stereo.
I have tried various output sizes: 640x480, 720x480 4:3, 720x486 4:3, "Compressor Native" (which should be the same as 720x480 4:3), and "Current" (which says its using 640x480). All the variations generate black bars. Out of desperation, I even tried exporting interlaced, rather than progressive, and of course that had no effect. I get exactly the same behavior in MPEG Streamclip, so it seems possible there may be something deep in Quicktime itself that is responsible, not just QTP.
QTP seems to want a square pixel 640x480 4:3 video to be 654x480 to get it to 4:3. That's a 4.0875:3 aspect ratio. I have been searching high and low on the net for definitive info on this. I have seen references to Apple adding the notion of "Aperture" to the QTP interface and to using 4.09:3 aspect ratios, and Apple saying there is no real defined standard. Whatever that means.
Does anyone know what is going on here? Can anyone point me at a web page that explains Apple's ideas about aspect ratios? Is there a checkbox in QTP that I have overlooked that would give me control over this behavior?
As described above, iMovie 6 certainly seems to know how to use the Quicktime engine in such a way not to introduce the black bars. It just doesn't create the format I need!

I think I just found the solution to my problem. When I open the original AVI file and look in the Movie Properties Presentation tab, the "Conform to Aperture" option is checked, and set to "Clean". If I uncheck it and THEN export the movie to either a .mov or .dv file, Quicktime Pro doesn't add black bars on the left and right in the output movie, and the resulting file works great in FCE4 and iMovie 6!
I thought the conform to aperture was just a viewer mode, and didn't realize it could modify the content of the video during conversions. Still, I would still be interested if anyone could provide links to web pages that explain this better. Thanks.

Hi jscher200,
Thank you for your reply, sorry for the VERY late late response, but I have just figured out how to control this separate 'panel'. I find it really useful for monitoring Google Analytics in as it can just sit there running. It does have its limitations, as it's a limited size (you can't expand it to full screen view), so you can only ever see a vertical section of a website and need to scroll to look to the right or left, but I have the live view of people accessing my website running on there and if the numbers start racking up at any time, I can scroll to look and see what pages they are accessing, where they've been referred from, etc.
To get it to work, you save a website address in the Bookmarks Toolbar and when you can see it sitting on the toolbar at the top of the screen with its little icon, right click on it then click 'properties', then tick the box 'Load this bookmark in the sidebar'. The next time you click on this bookmark to open the website, it will load in this sidebar, which looks like a separate 'window' but is immovable. You can only have one sidebar application running at a time, but can change it by right clicking on the bookmark you want to load in there and it will then change to that one next time you click on that bookmark.
I hope this might be useful to others, as I asked for help with this on loads of forums and not one person knew that this existed - even really skilled techies!
