How to transfer video for editing?

My brother want to send me video (imported from his video camera) so that I can edit it and send it back to him.
We both have imovie '09. We would like to use idisk to do this.
He tried creating a project and then copying that to idisk. When I downloaded, it said that I did not have the source video - which is true. I has hoped it would come with the project.
Is there a way to simply get the video that he recorded from his computer to mine via idisk so that I can edit it in imovie?
I tried looking up the answer in "Support" and either could not find it, or could not understand it.
Thank you so much for your assistance.

The source files will be in a folder named "iMovie Events". This folder may be on the internal drive or on an external drive (if one is being used) - depending on where Events are being stored.
There should be a folder for each of your Events inside that iMovie Events folder. Inside each Event folder you will find all the individual clips that have been imported for that Event. Also, you will find 2 other folders - iMovie Cache and iMovie Thumbnails. The Cache folder contains a complete .mov version, in AIC format, of your imported clips.
When burning the data DVD, ensure that the full Event folder is copied - not just the clips. I'm not absolutely sure if you will need the Cache and Thumbnail folders, but it's better to be safe than sorry! Logically, you should be able to recreate the Event simply by importing all the clips originally imported by your brother. These clips will already be in a format suitable for editing in iMovie.

    You can also use Dropbox. The Dropbox app has a very cool auto-upload process that will automatically upload photos and videos from the iPad Camera Roll to Dropbox.
    First sign up for a free Dropbox account from your computer.
    Then, download the free Dropbox app on your iPad.
    Log in to the Dropbox app on the iPad with your new account and click on the Photos icon in the lower left corner of the screen (second one from the left).
    Select "Enable Camera Upload" and "Only Wi-Fi." The upload process will begin for all existing photos in the Camera Roll.
    Do this on both your iPhone and iPad and you should be able to access all photos and videos from either device (or computer).
    Hope this answers your question!

  • Unable to set up video for editing

    I am a novice and am using the trial version of Premiere Elements 8.  I have gone through the Using Adobe Premiere Elements 8 product support quite a few times over the past several days and am not able to figure out how to set up videos for editing.
    When I am in Elements Organizer, the various files on my hard drive show on the left.  Two video files converted to MPEG show in a middle column.  I can play them by double clicking on them.  However, I am totally lost on how to set them up so that I can edit them (cutting into clips, improving lighting, etc).  Would someone please let me know either how to set up my videos for editing or let me know where there are help discussions or tutorials.
    Thanks for any help.
    Steve Gillings

    Steve,
    You are in the Elements Organizer, which more like a catalog manager and not a video editor.
    One of the ways to start editing is as mentioned by John in the post above.
    The other way is to launch Adobe Premiere Elements directly which can be done simply by clicking the desktop icon and selecting new project option
    OR you can run the AdobePremiereElements.exe from your install location.
    I see that you have installed the tryout version for Elements 8, that is last year's version, Elements 9 is already out, its better that you try the latest version. A lot of us on the forum have started using it.
    cheers.

    There are also WiFi transfer apps that you can use to do this. You can search for them on the App Store. You can check out a few here.

  • Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits?

    Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits? Using iMac, OS X, most recent Aperture and Lightroom 5.7 with plugin for Aperture.

    Define "the Aperture files".
    Read this concise guide.
    The files you imported into an Aperture Library can be exported (at any time, and repeatedly) using the command "File ▹ Export ▹ Originals".  Your Originals are never altered.  What went in is what comes out.
    Adjustments and changes to the metadata that you made since creating an Image in Aperture by importing a file are saved to a text file.  This file is combined, on-the-fly, with the Original to create the Image that you see in Aperture.  There is no file saved to disk that is the full-size Image.  Thumbnails are saved, and Previews are saved.  These are JPG files, almost always smaller than the Original.  They are not substitutes for the Image for the use you have.
    When you need a file of an Image to use in another program, you export the Image from Aperture.  "Export" means "Make me a file of this Image according to these file specs I'm providing".  The way to get files of your adjusted Images is simple:  create them by exporting.  Specify "Original size", and use a loss-less image-file format (e.g. TIFF 16-bit) if you want to retain as much visual information as possible.
    Search the Web for information about transitioning from Aperture to Lightroom.  Note that I say "transitioning".  You cannot move a database from one format to another without significant changes, and likely some loss of information.  Adobe provides a tool and some instructions.  I strongly recommend working out the process step-by-step, and then proceeding with first a few Images, then a bushel-ful, and stopping to use the first few, the the bushel-ful, before committing your entire collection to the process.
    As always, never use any computer file without having a back-up.
    We have seen mixed reports here of the success of the LR tool that creates a LR database from your Aperture database.
    If you want to carefully define the process, and test and refine it, use the excellent process-development, analysis, and execution program inShort.
    Sadly, there is not and can never be a good, thorough re-positioning of the digital assets in your Aperture Library to become digital assets in a LR database.  Just as a metaphor for any user contemplating transitioning to another digital asset manager:  that would be like digging up a house in one country, planting it in a hole in another country, and expecting to be able to use the toilet and the sinks, turn on the lights, cook dinner, and sleep soundly.
    HTH,

    Drag it into the open iTunes application window. You may need to use a product such as MPEG Streamclip to convert it to MPEG-4 first.

    How to transfer video from macbook to ipad2

    Haryati-
    I found your question while researching another one on the same topic.  I found it hard to believe that iPad videos could not be transfered to a computer!
    I made a short video on my iPad 2.  It showed up in the Photos camera roll.
    Running iPhoto and connecting the iPad to my Mac Pro, I selected the iPad under DEVICES.  The video was at the end of the photos, I selected it and clicked on "Import Selected".  I then dragged the imported video to my desktop and it played in QuickTime Player when I double-clicked it.
    Then I tried it with Aperture.  The dragged copy appeared to play in QuickTime Player, but the screen was black.  However an Exported Version played correctly.

    Hi,
    Recently, I have got my new iPod Touch 4G.  I succesfully transfered songs/apps from iTunes to my iPod Touch. But I don't know how to transfer video/movie to my iPod. I can't add a movie/video clip to iTunes ( File-> Add file to Library).
    Is there any video format conversion required?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You are right! I just converted my videos/movies into MP4 format using HandBrake and it works!
