Imovie 08 closing while transferring video

i am having a problem with imovie closing everytime i am transferring video to my computer. does anyone else have this problem and can it be fixed?

I also had & still have this problem, however it only occurs when importing full HD video's (1920x1080).
As I can presume, you also use the HDD video- full quality. Try any result by using a lower quality of video, although you did spend your money for a full HD video.
I tried ImovieHD 6, an earlier version of iMovie 7, while it seems this version would really be able to handle the full HD format.
And yes, the importing succeeded, but after the import has finished, it seemed to be impossible to view or edit the imported files, as in QuickTime, there only appears in the monitor a green surface, while I can hear the sound of the video.
The only thing to try, is buying Final Cut Pro, which claims to handle with any format.

Popup windows flash open then closed while watching videos or visitng websites.

It seems to happen more often when I am watching a video on Youtube or Hulu.
The video is playing normally and all of a sudden what looks like a pop up window opens and immediately closes. Sometimes you can see what looks like a person or an ad, but only for a fraction of a second and then it's gone. This will happen over and over again and it's super irritating. The windows seem to be of all sizes, they pop up in different parts of the screen and the frequency changes so that sometimes this happens a lot and other times there are fewer.
I've scanned for viruses with several programs, Avast and Trendmicro HouseCall.
OS is Windows 7
Firefox and Flashplayer are all up to date.
I've also scanned for Malware and Spyware.
I have even turned off Firefox's popup blocker so I might see where these windows are coming from, but no popup ads ever open it just keeps flashing these windows open and immediatly closed.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).

If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>

IMovie quits while downloading video

While downloading a miniDV video from my brand new Canon ZR850 to my iMovie '08 on my iMac with OS X 10.5.1, suddenly iMovie quits. I have to relaunch it each time.
What is going on?

I found this post by Appleman1958 in another forum thread in response to a similar issue with a different Cannon DV Camera.. but it may solve your issue as well. It worked for me.
Have you tried opening iMovie 08, then plugging in the camera to the firewire?
Camera should be plugged into electric power (not batteries).
Make sure your camera is turned on and in the right mode according to your owners manual. This is probably PC mode or playback mode.

Internal Error App Closed while sharing video?

While trying to share a video using share via service I get the error "Internal Error application Media Player closed"
Sharing is something I used to do and only have had problems with recently...since overclocking and PR1.2 although I am not sure if that is related.
Have looked around web and forums but can't find an answer.
What should I try?

lol, randomly i just googled that error. found this
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=53274
it seems its related to the overclocking kernel. perhaps try updating to the newer version if its available in the extras-devel section? or alternatively, open the following link in your n900 browser and hit install http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/kernel-power-flasher/
it also mentions that certain conversations plugins may be linked, not sure about this though.
if those dont work, then perhaps try lowering the clock speed to see if that fixes it. iirc, the cpu speed is also linked to the dsp - digital signal processor. so when you overclock the cpu, you also overclock the dsp. if its crashing in applications like the media player, but not in other applications, maybe the cpu speed is stable, but the dsp cant handle the higher speed. note - this is just a theory, give it a go and see if it helps.

Which cable do I need to connect my Mac Book Pro to my Panasonic PV-GS150 video camera for transferring video to iMovie?

which cable do I need to connect my Mac Book Pro to my Panasonic PV-GS150 video camera for transferring video to iMovie?

I totally understand.
Check some things from here, I have 2 and they have been great so far.
Check here, lots of storage and reasonable prices. Also great support, you get to speak to a person
Clean off your on the G5 drive and off you go.
I suggest buying a second drive and setting it up for a back up, Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper (both "bootable" back up) All searchable on the web.

You can talk to a person for REAL advice, Phone: 800.275.4576 Ask about exporting to your G5 and and exporting to your existing OSX, you may only need a small inexpensive drive for this.
Quick delivery and willing to help.
Hope this makes you back up and running :-)
Do get a back up drive, as it is not ""whether my drive will fail, as much as "when my drive fails"
All the best

I transferred video from iPhone (4S) to iPhoto and then to iMovie9. Footage in iMovie is stretched. Is there a way to fix that?

I transferred video from iPhone (4S) to iPhoto and then dropped that footage into iMovie9. The footage is there in iMovie but it is stretched. I have tried to adjust using aspect ratio options but that doesn't work. Is there a way to fix that in iMovie (or at any other point in the process)?

It shouldn't be this way. Did you shoot the video in portrait or landscape mode? Many people shoot in portrait mode because they typically hold the phone upright. This is really shouldn't happen if the videos are shot in landscape mode.

Transfering video form digital camera in imovie

When I open iphoto in imovie my videos don't appear. They are there in iphoto but not when I try to import them into imovie. What am I doing wrong?

yes Daniel is correct. However, if you can't go to the directory with the camera hooked up, try popping out the card and putting it into a USB card reader. I have to do this with my nikon d7000. While the videos automatically pop into iphoto, imovie won't even let me navigate to the card. I need to take it out of the camera and mount it in an attached card reader. Then i navigate to the .mov file using file them import then movies.

Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto

Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto.
Hi I've done a lot of searches on how to do this but no answers found.
Imovie is beginning to become really slow because of the large number of video's. It takes 3 minutes to startup. Editing is sometimes slow lot's of spinning beach balls e.t.c.
I would like to only import the video I want to edit and hopefully get a quicker Imovie in the process.
My Iphoto library is about 95 Gbyte in size.
My mac has 4 gb ram and I use the internal disk.
Any other ways to work with Imovie/Iphoto are also welcome.
regards

I won't get iMovie 9 till Tuesday, but based on what you said I may need to take some precautions. One reason I didn't like iMovie 8 is because it automatically imported everything in iPhoto library. What I'm going to do is create a new iPhoto library before importing the photos/videos from the camera. Or if you already have it in your main iPhoto library copy only the photos you'll use in your iMovie 9 project to the new library. Then start iPhoto while pressing the option key which will allow you to select the new iPhoto library you have created. Then I suppose that when you start iMovie 9 it will automatically import only the photos/videos from the new library.

FCE Freezes while importing video

While importing video, FCE freezes, usually within 3-4 minutes of capture. I have to force quit. I am using Capture Now. I have no problem importing with iMovie. In fact I've been importing in to iMovie and then copying the clips into FCE to get around the freeze. I have my clips saved to a 500GB external drive and my camcorder is a Panasonic PVGS-300. I have imported into FCE many times before. This is the first time this has occurred and I haven't changed anything in my setup or added anything to the system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I'm having the same problem.
Yesterday, I captured 45 minutes in 4 minute sections, and spent the morning editing.
It got slower & slower & slower.
I saved all, quit & browsed the internet for a while.
The computer continued to whir for some time.
I went back into FCE & it was back up to speed.
I suspect imminent hard drive failure.
Does anyone have an opinion on my diagnosis?

IMovie crashes while launch

Hi iMovie 4 iPhone Users,
my iMovie crashes while the start process.
This first happened after iMovie had crashed while working at a 30min project. Now I can't access to the project (some days of work). Any idea of what I could do?
tech:
iMovie recently contains this 1 project.
only videos filmed by this iPhone 4
a title song
no stills
Thanks!

I was having the same issue, and the steps below fixed my crash on launch issue in the latest iMovie 10.0.7 update. Try this...
1. Locate your iMovie library in Finder (probably in ~/Movies).
2. Ctrl-click on it, and click Show Package Contents.
3. You should see a list of folders, one for each Event in your Library. Inside each Event folder, look for a folder called Transcoded Media. Inside that folder, look inside the folder called High Quality Media.
3. If you see any files with a filesize of zero bytes, delete it. (You could back up each file before deleting if it makes you more comfortable, but I had no problems just deleting them)
4. Relaunch the application.
After I performed these steps, and to much relief, iMovie 10.0.7 launched just fine for me again. I hope this works for you...

Mac programs for transferring video to an iPod

Hello everyone, first time poster
I just have a couple questions about iPod video. Sorry if I'm creating another thread about getting videos on it, but my questions just have not been fully answered in the other threads.
First off, I'm running Mac OS X version 10.4.3 on a 1.42 GHz eMac. So any programs that are suggested to me that run only on Windows or only show system requirements of Windows are of no use to me.
Now here are my questions.
1. How do I get videos on an iPod from a personal DVD? (i.e. movies I created on a single-write disc/re-writeable disc)
2. How do I get videos on an iPod from a commercially sold DVD? (i.e. any regular DVD you buy at Best Buy, etc.)
3. What format does the video need to be to get onto the iPod?
4. What is the best program, free or not, in transferring video to an iPod?
5. What is the best FREE program in transferring video to an iPod?
6. Can I download video from a file sharing program (who will remain nameless) then transfer that video to an iPod?
7. Can I change the format name of a video file that may not play on an iPod (say .wmv a file) to a format name that WILL play on an iPod (I assume it's .mpeg-4)?
8. How do I transfer video from iMovie to an iPod?
9. If I buy my iPod at a regular Apple Store (not the online store), get the AppleCare Protection Plan for it, and if a problem arises with the iPod and I take it to the store for support, will I not be serviced based on the content of my iPod?
Again, sorry if these questions have already been asked and answered, but I just feel better that my own personal questions have been answered, and I don't have to tag on other questions to a different thread.

1. Handbrake
2. Handbrake
3. From the iPod tech specs:
"H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats"
4. iTunes
5. iTunes
6. Yes, assuming you convert it first to a supported format. Use iSquint.
7. You can't just change the file extension, you have to actually convert it. Use iSquint
8. export a quicktime movie, then use either Quicktime Pro or iSquint to convert it.
9. No. The content of your iPod will have no bearing on service (unless you install iPodLinux on it, which voids your warranty).

IMovie with High Bitrate Video A7 or A8X?

I plan to purchase an iPad Air 2 or iPad Mini Retina for editing 1080p MP4 video. I believe the bitrate will be around 20-30Mbps.
Does anyone know if this is possible with an A7 or A8X? What kind of performance could I expect?
I'm not so worried about final rendering wait times, but I'd like to have smoothness during previewing in the timeline, and minimal UI lag.
Also, I'm a bit torn between the Air and the Mini screen size. Does the Mini show exactly the same amount of content in iMovie as the Air, just smaller?
You might be wondering why I'd even be considering the iPad Mini 2... it's just so much cheaper and I love the form factor!
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you for replying!
I would be transferring video files over WiFi via an app for my camera. But I'll also get the USB to lightning adapter for an audio device. I believe you can attach a card reader to that as well.
I mentioned imovie, but I'm thinking I'll probably be using Pinnacle Studio. The UI is more complex, and I suppose it has me leaning towards an Air1 or Air2.
The Air2's screen really blew me away at the store. I have this dream of working outside. Maybe this is the device to do this. But the Air1 also has a good display and refurb options are mighty tempting...

Can you zoom while shooting video with iphone's camera

Can you zoom while shooting video with iphone's camera

Nope, you can only zoom to take still pictures. Zooming with the iPhone's video camera is not supported. However, in iMovie you can zoom in on your video.

Problems transferring video to pc on the 6790

I am having problems transferring video from my phone to my laptop. I downloaded the PC Suite and had no problems with my pics, but the video won't play once it transfers to my laptop. Any ideas on what I need to do to get them to play?

What program are you using to play the files on your computer?
The procedure should actually be the same, connect via data transfer and drag and drop is the simplest for me.
Do the videos play while they are still on your memory card by any chance
Show your appreciation. Hit that kudos button real hard

I want to zoom while making video with iPad

I want to zoom while making video with ipad

I apologies. I was under the assumption that others reading my question would think if I was talking about iMovie I have it on my iPad and I never clarified thank you for pointing that out. I do have iMovie and had iMovie the whole time in my attempts including the one where I looked through iTunes in my PC while my iPad was hooked up via USB , was in my iPads apps looking at the list and iMovie was not one of the listed. But even if it was how is this going to help me?
