I can't make a video.avi with best quality in Imovie 11

I'm trying to make a video with extension.avi. in Imovie 11
I click in the opcion of export with Quick Time Player. Then I click in the option button to change the quality parameters and I put the best quality.
After working during 1 hour, aparently the video is finished, but I can't watch any video.
Apologizes for my poor english

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iMovie. There's a iMovie Support Community where everybody uses iMovie. You should also post this question there. https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie

  • Videos .avi with poor quality on iDVD.

    I am new user on Mac. I work with soccer match analysis and I have to use the softaware on windows plataform.
    I creat videos (.avi) with good quality if I watch on Windows Media Player or TV. When I watch on my Mac, they have a real poor quality (defocused and trembled).
    I used to creat my videos on this software (windows) and I burn de DVD on iDVD.
    Do I have to convert my .avi videos to any other extension file?
    When I converted my .avi files to .ogm files the quality was better, but I couldnt use these files on iDVD.
    Are there anything that I could try to get better quality on my video files?

    Hi
    I would convert the .avi to streamingDV and use this in iDVD.
    .avi
    You can use MPEG-Streamclip to convert the AVI files so that QuickTime can play them
    and to streamingDV for iMovie.

  • Video sharing with best quality

    I am not sure if this is the right forum to post it.
    I am new to this technology/area of preparing video by getting best quality and no pains in viewing it over web.
    I am going to shoot mostly family events or kids activities.
    I am planning to buy a HD camcorder.
    But to get best quality while capturing the video/source, what to look for in camcorder and any preferences about the models in the market?
    After capturing the video at best quality, what are the next steps in preparing this for web delivery? What softwares/tools do i need to use to get the best video quality for sharing over web with out any pain (like buffering/slow start) while viewing?
    I am more concerned about sharing videos of best quality and I am OK to spend extra bucks to achieve this.
    Please suggest me or direct me to any source where i could get this information.
    Thanks, Eswar

    Eswar ~ The following is just one suggestion of many possible ways of delivering videos to the Web. Click on this link to see one of Apple's demo _MobileMe Gallery_ videos:
    http://gallery.me.com/emily_parker#100624
    ...at lower right of the video there is a fullscreen button you can click. That video was produced in _iLife '08_ iMovie s/w which allows it to be published in a wide range of sizes for optimal viewing on iPhone, Web, AppleTV, etc. See this video tutorial "_Sharing to MobileMe Gallery_".
    In iWeb, you can view a list of all the albums and movies in your MobileMe Gallery, and incorporate any of them in an iWeb page. Visitors can click to go directly to your MobileMe Gallery. See this _video tutorial_ — just over half-way through, where it says: +"To embed a MobileMe Gallery..."+
    MobileMe Gallery's maximum video resolution is 960x540. Alternative HD video sharing sites such as Vimeo support 1280x720. And according to this _comparison of video services_, also Dailymotion, YouTube and _HD share_. ...But with 1280x720, depending on their connection speed, some viewers may see buffering/slow start problems.
    Here's an example of an HD video on YouTube. ...Once on the page, click on "watch in HD" at lower right of the video and click the fullscreen icon. Another thing to consider is how powerful a CPU would be required on a PC or Mac to view 1280x720 video satisfactorily. Apple's MobileMe Gallery cap of 960x540 may be in regard to this, together with connection speed considerations.
    But to get best quality while capturing the video/source, what to look for in camcorder and any preferences about the models in the market?
    I don't have any specific recommendations, but one thing to consider is that Apple, like camcorder manufacturers, appears to be moving away from Firewire connectivity and towards USB connectivity — so you may want to concentrate your search for camcorders with that in mind. Let me... Well, see for yourself by clicking here.

  • How to produce HD video files with best quality/size ratio?

    I have used the HC3 for 2 days with iMovie and iDVD on my mac mini.
    When i started to import the footage with iMovie, i started to do it manually, moving forward and backward between scenes. This caused iMovie to crash very frequently. I then chose to let iMovie import the footage by itself and everything went fine.
    I then easily added the chapters, transfered to iDVD and created a DVD with menus in 1 hour. I am really exited about how fast i was able to create a very nice DVD.
    However i am trying to convert the footage from iMovie into a small (100-200 MB) in a 16:9 format but I am getting very big files that are not as sharp as the original or some other examples i saw on the web such as the examples in this page about the Sanyo DMX-HD1:
    http://www.akihabaranews.com/review-62-SanyoDMX-HD1%2C+everything+except+for+HD%2C+thedisappointment.html
    Would you have any recommendation about the settings to export in quicktime or other format? Which video codec provides the best quality/size ratio? H.264? MPEG4? interlace or not?
    ~Antheo

    I'm not familiar wih HiDef content - look at my hardware specs... I'm based in the early 90ies, way before 1080p etc..
    Prof Pixel made some... observations...
    http://homepage.mac.com/profpixel/color_bars/colorbars.htm
    http://homepage.mac.com/profpixel/iDVDsize.html
    most codecs, which are implemented in Quicktime, are between good and excellent; my personal favorit is mp4, but in this case, I prefer the algorithms of http://isquint.org/; it also offers a h264 converter, which, I've read, should be excelllent, a little faster then Apple's and with excellent results...
    compression depends very much on content and final output media... I'm afraid, you really need to do some tests on your own....

  • Can Flex make a Design Tool with a quality output file?

    Hi there,
    I have a team of developers working on a web-based design tool for a large-format print shop. They built the prototype on a Flex platform and used ImageMagick to handle text and image effects.
    Unfortunately, ImageMagick cannot produce the quality of output file we need for our products (prints up to 3 ft by 6 ft / 1m x 2m). It rasterizes all of the design objects, including text and vector clipart.
    Is it possible for Flex to handle all of these elements (object rotation, scale changes, etc.) and output a final design to high quality PDF or AI files without ImageMagick?
    I'm just not sure if my developers are missing something or if they're just not communicating the technical challenges involved in creating such large, high quality output files for a custom, web-based application.
    Many thanks in advance for any insight!

    I'm still not sure I understand what you need.  Sounds like the image map is the same for all the pages, but the image itself is different, although the images are the same size on each page.  Is that it?
    In that case, you could do this in a number of ways, but the best might be -
    Make the page have a transparent PNG/GIF image the same size as the map that has the 5 mapped areas defined on it.  Make the container for that image have a CSS BACKGROUND image that is the actual map.  Specify this CSS background image's path in an embedded stylesheet in the editable region of the head of the page.
    With this as the template, all you need to do on each page is to respecify the background image - since the embedded stylesheet is in an editable region that's do-able.  In other words the TEMPLATE would be -
    <html>
    <head>
    <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="head">
    <style type="text/css">
    #foo {
         background-image:url(path_to_map.jpg);
         background-repeat:no-repeat;
    </style>
    <!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
    </head>
    <body>
    <div id="foo">
         <img width="map_width" height="map_height" src="transparent.png" usemap="#foomap">
    <map name="foomap">
    </map>
    </body>
    </html>
    The map image can, itself, be in an uneditable region of the page....

  • Can I make a video with Powerbook Pro

    can I make a video using camera on Powerbook Pro

    MacBooks and MacBook Pro both have a built-in camera on the bezel.    So if you were talking one of those, then you can use Quicktime Pro to make a video or Ambroisa SnapZ Pro.  Later versions of Mac OS X support video capture on standard Quicktime.  So please go to Apple menu -> About This Mac and tell us your operating system version.  And please properly identify your Mac using this tip:

  • How can i make quicktime play avi. files?

    pls..how can i make quicktime play avi. files? because i have some avi files on my ipod or data cd but i can't play them on my laptop. pls help me..
    and also, im trying to make a music video but i dont how to select different clips from a movie.

    Hello,
    You can get from Microsoft, the flip4mac free player. Since Windows Media Player for Mac is no longer supported, this is the way to go.
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
    In my opinion, it is by far the best solution for playing .avi or .wmv files, because you get all the advantages of Quicktime.

  • Can i make a video and use an external mixer for the sound?

    can i make a video and use an external mixer for the sound with my ipod touch?

    You need a special plug to use the iPod's mic in for the headphone jack. If you compare a headphone plug for a set that includes a mic and one that does not you can see that there is a difference.

  • Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly it and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be pl

    Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly the drone and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos , sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be played . Checking the info shows that each of the unplayed videos was saved in the same mp4 format as the playable ones yet some of my most important videos won't play . It's getting very frustrating .

    first; I use Perian, that helps even though it is no longer supported, (must have for avi files)
    the apple-cores at apple have gotten very sloppy -- quicktime is a bit finicky and flakey. 
      example,   occasionally (when copy file from quad's card to hard drive)  the avi will show up as a 'mov' file and qt plays it no problem and no conversion.
    but that is very occasionally,  most of the time qt won't convert the file,   -- iMovie won't open an avi without Perian installed  ,  I don't know how that effects qt.
    qt 7"pro" is no good either, (qt 10 does everything it does and for NOT the extra $35)  
    I have gone to VLC  and MPlayerX  for direct playback for drones and cameras.  

  • I can not synchronize the videos taken with my camera from my PC to IPad

    Hello everybody, I have a problem, I can not synchronize the videos taken with my camera from my PC to IPad (sorry, in my last question I put iPhone but is iPad )

    Are they in a compatible format ? The iPad natively supports (from here)
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    If your camera's videos aren't in any of those formats then you will either need to find a third-party app that doesor a PC program that can convert them prior to syncing. If you can get them into your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library but they don't sync, then have you tried Advanced > Create iPad Version and then syncing those versions ?

  • Can I make a slides show with imovie(8,0,6)

    Can I make a slides show with imovie (8,0,6). If so, how?

    Hi
    Yes and No
    No - if Quality is important AND You want a DVD as result - no iMovie'08 to 11 can handle or export - Interlaced SD-Video to any DVD authoring program - When going from Event's to Project every second line in the Picture is lost and this will be a noticeable quality loss in the final DVD
    YES - If You don't want a DVD -
    • Just start a new Project
    • Import Photos from Media button / Photos
    • Insert transition of choice
    • Insert Audio at Your liking - I convert all to .aiff and not use any .mp3 or from iTunes directly (converted they work OK)
    If DVD - Then use
    • iMovie HD6 - or -
    • FinalCut any version
    • FotoMagico™
    • iDVD - BUT this is limited in several ways
    - max 99 photos per show
    - one transition possibly
    - audio - one audio tract (but this can be created outside iDVD to contain more than one tune
    Good Luck

  • How can i make a soft return with pages shift enter does not work!

    how can i make a soft return with pages shift plus enter does not work!!

    On full keyboards with a numeric keypad, the key above the right shift is "return" & the one on the numeric section is "enter." On a Mac (or Apple IIgs ) they do have separate functions. On the "mini" keyboards, both names are on the same key, but "enter" is written in smaller letters. I'll have to check to see how that works on another Mac later today.
