ILife v2008 & idvd 7 transferring imovie 5.0.2 into idvd7

has anybody had this problem. i create a project in idvd7. i put my imovies into my movie folder. i have 6 movies from a vacation. when i open idvd7 i pick my theme. then when i go and get my imovies for my project out of the 6 movies for some reason one of the movies looks like a quicktime movie! all my other movies i can drop into the idvd7 project with no problem. but the one movie that shows its a quicktime (how and why it says quicktime is a mystery when i did all the movies the same) it locks up my idvd7. i can still use my computer for other things, but idvd7 locks up and its either encoding or ??? so, i tried to save my one movie again to see make sure it wasn't a quicktime project and then its not in my movie folder when it is in the folder. this is driving me insane. what could be the problem? any help would really be appreciated.

Hi,
Thank you for the feedback. The hard disk has about 230 gigs of free space.
Just completed the install and the 7.0.1 update. I am still showing that the ThumbnailServer is not responding. The application seems to be running though.
Ok, now its not. Here is what I did:
Started iDVD
Created a blank project
Dragged a iMovie clip to the first box
Dragged a FCE clip to the movie box
Autofilled drop box
Autofilled drop box (sub menu)
Selected "+" and add another movie clip
Up to this point, everything seems to be ok except the ThumbnailServer is not responding.
Next, I dragged another FCE clip to the new empty movie box.
At this point, iDVD stops responding (though the activity monitor says the application is ok). CPU percentage fluctuates from 13 to 30 percent. ThumbnailServer is not responding. EncoderServer went red and is not responding. Interestingly, when iDVD has the focus, the iDVD menu bar does not appear as it stays at the menu bar of the prior application, Safari this this case.
If I try to scroll in the clip mode, it takes several minutes before the screen redraws.
Interestingly, when I clicked the red close window button, iDVD responded and closed iDVD.
Ok, I think I've found something interesting with the clip I tried to drag to iDVD. When I attempted to open it with Quicktime, Quicktime reported that there were some assets that it could not find. I investigated and determined that they were some render files that had mysteriously disappeared. I went back and re-rendered the clips, exported to a quicktime file again and imported to iDVD. Voila, iDVD doesn't die.
So, it appears to me that iDVD gets stuck and doesn't report that it cannot open the asset.
I grabbed a clip from another source and created a disk image in iDVD. It appears to have encoded fine, even though the "EncoderServer" and "ThumbnailServer" are not responding. Hmmm.
So, perhaps I didn't need to do the reinstall after all. I hope I have not broken something else in Leopard (general iLife stuff and other "system" stuff it installs that is Tiger specific). There are definitely two bugs in iDVD. One regarding the loading of "missing assets" and the other regarding the "ThumbnailServer" and "EncoderServer" not responding errors.

Most users buy iDVD (part of iLife 11 ON DISK).
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

Is there a way to go move a project from IDVD back to IMOVIE?

This is clearly a newbie question:
I know how to share from Imovie to IDVD and I made my IDVD project, but now I don't know if I still have the IMovie I originally transferred.
Is there a way to move a project from IDVD back to IMOVIE?

First, go back to iMovie and look under both iMovie Events and Projects to see if you still have the movie. Double check by looking in Finder to where you save the movies you create. For instance, if you save to Movies, there should be folders in there for iMovie Events and iMovie Projects. If they are there, you should see them in the lists in iMovie.
If not, I don't think there is a way you can move it directly back to iMovie. Is there a real need to have it in iMovie? Unless you are going to change the movie, there is not a need to keep it there. If, for some reason you want it there, however, you can go thru the process of copying the DVD back to the hard drive using MPEG Streamclip, and exporting it to Quicktime. Then open iMovie, and bring it back into iMovie.

ILife upgrade but keep old iMovie

I'm thinking of upgrading to the newest version of iLife and since my Mac's processor is not fast enough for the new iMovie, I am wondering if I will still have the option of just upgrading the other iLife apps but keeping my old version of iMovie? Will all the other new apps still be compatible with my old version of iMovie?
Currently I have iMovie HD installed.
Thanks,

iMovie 08 is NOT an upgrade of iMovie 06. It is a completely new application. iMovie 08 is better for absolute beginners that don't want to burn a DVD. Most others will like iMovie 06 for its far greater editing power and ease of making DVDs. (Like creating Chapter Markers and Share to iDVD.)
Most owners of iLife 08 I know use iMovie 06.
iMovie 08 is a wonderful program assuming that you're using it for what it was designed to do, assemble simple videos to share on the Internet.
Remember that Apple includes iMovie 06 is a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)

Hi,
I scoured the web looking everywhere for a solution to this.
Exit Code 15
OSX 8.5 with Work@Home DVD media for CS6
I followed instructions to run 3rd party cleaner software
I tried the adobe removal tool
removing all copies of adobe software manually
installing from a new account, safe mode, plist everything suggested that i found did not work.
A colleague suggested that removing the below folder would allow the installation:
/Library/Application Supports/Adobe
They turned out to be correct, so i am passing this on, because this took far too many hours of my time.
Cheers,
Smokey

Photo slideshows for iDVD - iPhoto or iMovie?

I posted before because I encountered errors when I created a DVD that incorporated photo slideshows and movies. The slideshows were created in iDVD and the movies in iMovie. The dvd was full, and on the one occasion that the burn was "successful", the photos for the menus were randomly re-arranged (and the audio for one movie was assigned to the wrong video). On other occasions, I encountered the dreaded multiplexing error (format error after 5 1/2 hours of encoding). I understand from some of your comments that my DVD is too packed (14 menus and submenus, 9 slideshows, 15 short movies) to encode properly. So I am starting all over and will try to simplify it this time. My question is: which application is best to make slideshows - iPhoto or iMovie? Is one application more stable than the other and less likely to encounter encoding issues? These photos and videos are from a 10 day family trip and I can't really eliminate anything but bells and whistles. Any advice is appreciated - I am grateful that there are so many experienced users willing to help novices like me.

My question is: which application is best to make slideshows - iPhoto or iMovie?
From what I read in the Apple Discussions and my own observations, it seems that both iMovie and IDVD, along with iPhoto, have their strengths and weaknesses. This is what I have found so far:
The default Ken Burns effect in iPhoto is much more pleasing than the one in iMovie. In iPhoto, the zoom and pan are varied; in iMovie, the effect is simply a zoom in. The iMovie Ken Burns effect can become very tedious when applied to a large number of photos. To vary the effect manually can also be a very time-consuming.
iMovie has the advantage providing a means to add text to the photos with a variety of special effects. I haven't found this option in iDVD. With iMovie it is possible to edit music. I have read a few posts that stated the iDVD will produce a better quality image when imported directly from iPhoto as opposed to one created by iMovie.

I hope this helps.

Bad audio on IDVD but not IMOVIE

Why is my audio sounding like slow motion when i preview my IDVD but the IMOVIE plays it just fine?

Why is my audio sounding like slow motion
Not sure, but the "preview" in iDVD sometimes is great and the final product is bad, or preview can be bad, but the final product can be just fine.
So you can try "Save as Disk Image" and see if the encoded disk image will play OK with the Apple DVD player. If it's OK, the burn the image with Disk Utiltiy.
But if your audio is still bad on the iDVD disk image, go back to iMovie and "Extract audio" and then try again. You might have 12bit audio in your DV files, if so look here for other advice:

https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

Will iLife 11(iDVD) be compatable with FLV files?

iLife 09 (iDVD) help files says "flash files" are not acceptable. Will Flash Files (FLV) be acceptable to iLife 11(iDVD)?

No, not without conversion. See for example http://www.applemacvideo.com/howtoconvert/flvmac/flv-to-mov-mac.html
Do some Googling for other conversion approaches.

Import iMovie '08 project (movie) into iMovie '06 (to make chapter markers)

I would like to make custom chapter markers in my iMovie '08 movie so that a scene selection menu is automatically created when I import the movie into iDVD. I understand that I can create such chapter markers in iMovie '06, which I have downloaded.
I am unable to import the iMovie '08 movie (project), into iMovie '06, however.
It looks like I can import iMovie '08 Events into iMovie '06, and make a new movie out of them. However, I don't really want to re-create the whole movie all over again, as it was a lot of work.
Is there some way I can get my iMovie '08 project imported into iMovie '06? Or do I have to make these custom chapter markers in GarageBand, as suggested elsewhere?
I have looked at this discussion - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8592766&#8592766 - and other ones, but can't seem to find an answer to this. It looks like others have tried to do this, but it doesn't say exactly how.
Thanks.
Barb

I ended importing my movie from iMovie into Garageband, and, with a bit of a learning curve (figuring out how to get the time instead of the beats to show in the LCD, for example), making my chapter markers and titles there. I then sent the movie to iDVD of course, and it seems to work just fine.
So I didn't end up copying the buttons, as you suggested, but thanks very much for that suggestion. Once I figured out the Garageband controls, it was easier than I thought it would be. I guess I should have tried Garageband first; it seemed like such an unlikely solution, what with being a music composition program and all.
Thanks John.

How do I move clips in one pane of iMove (10.0.3) into the timeline? iMovie somehow doesn't realize I'm trying to edit the clips.

How do I move clips in one pane of iMove (10.0.3) into the timeline? iMovie somehow doesn't realize I'm trying to edit the clips.

Try this:
Select a small portion of the clip in the event (Above the timeline)
Click and hold and drag that section into the timeline, it should snap into place but if you drag it above another clip, it will not replace it but will be placed on top and the sound from the other clip will still play. Also this will allow you to use Blue/Green screen modes as well as picture in picture.
The best way is to drag it to the far right

How do I transfer jpg images transfered to an SD card, into an iPad?

How do I transfer jpg images transfered to an SD card, into an iPad? Have tried lots - nothing works.
I would like to buy an iPad if this could be solved.
I am on a PC
I have iTunes on my desptop, not my laptop.
When traveling I shoot RAW 22mg photos.
I resize down to 2mg file for screen.
I transfer to SD card to then transfer to an iPad.
I use wifes new iPad with SD card accessory to try to get it to work but it doesn't.
I created a test directory with subdirectories
Synced it to iPhone 3GS and worked fine.
Will not do syncing from laptop because ...no iTunes anddon't want it on laptop.
Did experiment with wife's MAC desktop - it worked fine
Card is an SD HC which supposedly works fine.
Apple would have a customer if I could do this.
Thanks for any possible solutions.
Brad

Meg:
So far you are leading the race. I tried more scenarios on the SD card and the DCIM + names no longer than 8 characters works. However this naming and sorting convention still falls short for me. I realize what we want and what we get are sometimes two different things and I always try to seek a workaround.
If I breakdown and install iTunes on my laptop and sync just my main directory with many longer than 8 chars sub directory names and within those many jpg's with longer than 8 chars names would that solve my dilemma?...like how it works on the iPhone?
On the recent test with the SD attachment the sub directories did not import or even show - only those in the root. I named one sub directory with only 8 chars and one file inside less than 8 chars - not found by iPad.
I am hesitant to do this (add iTunes to laptop) because I may not necessarily want all files synced on desktop, laptop and iPad.
I sort many files based on events and travel days and most of the events I do are several days, hence many subdirectories...sometimes 5 weeks gone.
Sorry to be a pain but I am trying to buy an iPad...but so far not practical reason.

When I create a new project in iMovie and drop clips into it, it plays the first one and then quits right near the end of the second clip. I have re-started my computer, tried a new project etc, and no luck, does anyone know how to fix this issue?

This is a part of the larger MacBook Pro connectivity issue. There are several related threads dealing with the MBP's networking problems. If your unit is suffering from this type of difficulty, good luck ... (or a long ethernet cable)
(PS Everybody please make noise on this one so apple comes up with a solution.)

iTunes cannot find your music files. Find them on your computer and make sure they're in ~/Music/iTunes. If they are not, then drag all the files into the iTunes app.

Audio out of place when transferring iMovie to iDVD

I've made a movie in iMovie 09 that runs just how I want it to in iMovie. However when I transfer it (via sharing with the media browser) to iDVD and preview it (or watch the film on a burnt DVD) towards the end of the movie the audio from the final 6 or 7 clips is played about 45 seconds before the clips themselves occur. The audio also then plays (correctly) with the clip. I have tried detaching the audio from these clips, as some forums seem to suggest but it still turns up in the incorrect place (before the clips themselves). I have tried deleting and reintroducing the offending clips but am wondering if I could have somehow copied and placed the audio to these clips at the wrong place on the project timeline - and for some reason can't see it?
It's a 23 minute movie that is now ruined by out of place audio right at the end so any help much appreciated.
I'm using: iMovie '09 version 8.0.6 and iDVD 7.1.2 on a Macbook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core i5, OSX version 10.9.4
Thanks

Are you able to exert the movie to the Desktop and play it with Quicktime Player with all audio OK? What format are the audio clips. Some report best results with AIFF.
iDVD has a bug that if any of the video media is edited after having been added to the project the resulting DVD is compromised. Therefore try creating a new project entirely.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
