HT202276 import iMovie Project from iphone iOS8 into iMovie 11  with os 10.8.5 MBP failed

My import of iMovie Project from iphone to  rMBP iMovie 11 failed.
I began an iMovie Project on my iPhone 6+ ios 8.1.2. I imported it through iTunes into my rMBP 10.8.5 Mountain Lion, but cannot import it into iMovie '11 v9.0.9, get error message.
Must I have Yosemite?
I am not ready to upgrade to Mavericks or Yosemite until February because of Parallels older software.
I do have Final Cut Express.v 4.0.1, could i do it there?
A possible workaround:
I do have access at home to my partner's MBP 13" with iMovie and Yosemite. But if I put the iOS iMovie Project file on her computer, and edit in in her iMovie, will I be able to transfer all the files and links of the movie back to my rMPB 15"

I've been having a similar issue but for me I have tried several things:
1. Import directly from Iphone 6.  - Left it over night and it imports some but not all
2. Import from usb drive - I copied the photos off my phone to a usb drive. This imported into Photos and I was left with approx 12 that had the incorrect date. They said data taken was the date of import. I can lvie with this.
3. After no.2 worked I then connected my Iphone to import any new pics and it said that I had approx 11,000 photos to import....these are the same photos that had already been imported!!!
Can I reinstall Iphoto on my Macbook Pro (Early 2011)....??? Please?

  • Error when importing photos/videos from iphone 4 into Picassa.....

    When attempting to import photos and videos from iphone 4 into Picassa (v3.8) I get the following error message:
    "An error has occurred while attempting to import. Either the source is unavailable or the destination is full or read only. (1)"
    Any thoughts? I know this is an iphone specific issue as I was successfully able to import from another camera.
    P.S Quicktime up to date and quicktime movies checked in Picassa.

    I have the same issue. It started only after the most recent iPhone update though, leading me to think it's the phone, not iPhoto.
    The pictures that do import are streaked/blurry with terrrible colour. I can still send them via email but they're smaller files.
    Does anyone know another way to get my full-res pictures off my iPhone?
    [edit] I found out that I could use Apple's Image Capture software, which worked like a charm but the pictures themselves are a mess. I'll have to try resetting.

  • Can't import an iMovie project from an ios8 device to iMovie on mac

    Apple needs to update iMovie so that projects work between both IOS and OSX. Feeling really ripened off. I'm creating great videos and photos with my iPhone6 but can't import the project to my Mac running Yosemite.

    Fully agree. you should write as well a note to Apple and Report that as a bug as it was working before in iMovie11

  • Unable to import movie files from iphoto '08 into imovie HD

    I have recently bought a 2008 macbook (2.2 GHz) and have recently downloaded imovie HD in addition to owning iLife '08 due to its extra capabilities. I have found that I am unable to import any of my movie files from my iphoto library folder as it seems to need to open the actual iphoto application before the files can be accessed. In addition, when not using any specific program it would be nice to be able to access my photo/video files within the iphoto folder without iphoto automatically opening as the default viewer.
    Any ideas??!! Thanks.

    lucky you.. .avi is just a container, no 'format'/codec .. I can show you dozends of .avis, which will NOT import into iMHD6, due to being playback-codecs, not convertable by the underlying Quicktime engine into separte, editable audio+video streams ..
    .. If you convert to .dv, the size just blows up.
    dv is 13GB/h and a codec meant for editing; e.g. it stores every frame (video=30 frams/sec) of a recording, as mpegs usually doesn't do so.. = your Mac has to estimate content, when converting and 'recovering' the content = lossy process.
    iMHD6 is a dv-editor; the mpeg4 feature is only a toy, to spice up iSight recordings.. for sure, the QTengine can convert a lot, but too much conversion (from one lossy codec, e.g. divx, into another, e.g. mp4) means a (dramatic) loss of pic quality..
    my 5€ cents ..

  • HT2498 How do I import Photo Library from iPhone 3GS to Mac Pro? Unable to see photos when USB cable connected???

  • How to import photo library from iPhone?

    Hello everyone,
    I would like to import my photos from iPhone - but those not taken WITH iPhone.
    I'll explain: I have photos on my PC. I can sync them to the iPhone. I now would like to import these into iPhoto. Under Windows, I can import as soon as I plug in the phone or access its disk. How can I do the same in my Mac?
    Thanks,
    Beto.

    iPhone is not designed for this. No support for importing from the Photo Library, only designed to import pix you took on the camera.
    You can look at PhoneView, which will pull photos from the Photo Library. HOWEVER, these will be down-sized low-res photos, not high-quality originals. You'd be MUCH better off using a USB drive to copy the photos from the PC and transfer them to the Mac.

  • Cant import raw files from sony rx1003 into iPhoto

    Cant import raw files from sony rx1003 into iPhoto.  with rx1002 no problem! any suggestions?

    Every model of a manufacture's camera have a different  RAW format and, therefore, you'll have to wait until Apple receives the necessary information from Sony so they can create a RAW Compatibility Updater that includes that model.
    In the meantime you can try the Adobe RAW converter with might support that camera model to create a dmg file that iPhoto will recognize and begging shooting the highest resolution jpegs until the updater is released.

  • I am trying out Final Cut Pro X and trying desperately to import a project from iMovie 11 (version 9.0.9). There is no export to FCPX in iMovie 11 nor is there import from iMovie in FCPX.

    Can someone please help me?
    I am trying out Final Cut Pro X on a 30 day trial. So far so good.
    I am now trying desperately to import a project from iMovie 11 (version 9.0.9) into FCPX.
    I have read multiple posts on this subject and they all recommend File/import/ from iMovie project in FCPX
    However there is NO such option under File/import in FCPX - nor is there an option to export to FCPX in iMovie 11
    Can anyone please enlighten me.

    The current version of FCPX does not work with that version of iMovie. You need version 10.0.3, which allows you to send a project to FCP.

  • IMovie 10.0.5: How to import an iMovie project from an iOS device

    This description (iMovie '11: Import an iMovie project from an iOS device) seems no longer accurate because:
    a) the command "Send project to iTunes" is NOT available in iMovie for iOS 2.0 (791)
    b) editing an imported project in the iMovie theater in iMovie 10.0.5 seems NOT possible (at least I don't know how).
    So how would I import an iMovie project from an iOS device (version 2.0 791) to iMovie on Mac (10.0.5)?
    Thanks in advance!

    I too are having difficulty trying to import a project from iMovie iOS (iPhone) to iMovie 10.0.5 on my mac mini.
    I found how to export the file to iTunes. you simply share it and the send to iTunes option is in there. But when i try to open the files after i have transferred to my documents folder, they do not open or import. The file has a  .iMoiveMobile file extension, which does not seem to be correct.
    Can anyone help further ?

  • How do I import an imovie project from an external drive to imovie?

    My hard drive on Macbook Pro 2009 recently crashed. Luckily I backed up my imovie projects on an external. I upgraded with new hard drive and installed snow leopard. I transferred this particular imovie project from external to the 'movies' folder on the internal drive. When I launch imovie to find this particular imovie project all I see are various folders associated with this particular project not the imovie project icon (the icon where I double click and begin editing). If I try to import directly from external drive the project icons are grayed out.
    Furthermore if I try to import any video (whether from external or internal drive) on imovie it says:
    This file could not be moved:
    (Insufficient access privileges for operation )
    All movie files play on quicktime when I test them, so I'm unsure as to why I don't have access privileges.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Any replies to this one? Anyone????

    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 I import video from Sony TRV22E into iMovie ?

    How do I import video from Sony TRV22E into iMovie ?

    Hi
    Sony TRV22E - CAN ONLY export the VIDEO material via a FireWire Cable (iLinc)
    Then Your Mac need eiter
    - a FireWire port - or -
    - a Thunderbolt port
    if only Thunderbolt - Then You need a FireWire to Thunderbolt converter.
    The USB- can only copy over the Still photos You also cam take with Your Camera. Will NEVER work for Video Export.

  • How do I Retrieve imovie projects from and external drive back into my mac internal drive

    How do I Retrieve imovie projects from and external drive back into my mac internal drive?
    Thank You

    Every working drive, Internal or External, should produce an Icon on your Desktop. If you cannot see those, click on the Desktop (to get Finder) and choose Preferences off the Finder Menu. The general pane has checkboxes for "Show these items on the Desktop:"
    Double click the Icon for your External Drive to open it. Open the folders on it until you find the Items you want to copy. Drag them to the Icon of your Internal Drive, or open the folder where you want them to land and drop them in there.
    A drive that does not appear on the desktop after you have asked it to may be damaged. But it would be smart to do a Restart to see if it is recognized again at next Startup.
