IMovie 08 compatibility with Contour

I have a brand new video recorder, Contour Roam, with microSD card. The format for this recorder is H.264 in .mov files. I'm using iMovie 08. With iMovie open and recorder connected (USB) and on, it is not recognized by iMovie. Files did load into iPhoto, but are greyed out when I try to export them to iMovie, and greyed out when I try to select them for import from iMovie. I've read iMovie does import H.264 formats; what's up?

I am not sure if it will work or not.
If it will, it would work this way.
Make sure your camera is attached and you can navigate to it in the Finder. (Or at least that you have a card reader attached that can see the card)
In iMovie, click Import/Movie and navigate to the h.264 file on your card.
It has been a few years since I used iMovie 08, so the menu items may be labled slightly diffferently.

  • IMovie '08 compatibility with upper end HD cameras?

    Hi All,
    I am looking to buy a more upper end HD camera for a project I am working on. I like working in iMovie '08 but cannot find the information from camera manufacturers or from apple about the following cameras and their compatibility with iMovie '08.
    Cameras of interest:
    Canon XL H1
    Canon XH G1
    Canon XH A1
    Panasonic AG-HVX200
    Thanks All for the help and yes I know I should be working in final cut
    Tim

    The problem arise from HD format.
    Imovie 8 wants a Mac format. It don't accept a MS-DOS format.

  • Imovie 09 compatibility with firewires

    hello again, does imovie 09 not recognize firewire 9 to 4 pins or is it the camera that is the problem? the camera is a Panasonic NV-GS90 miniDV and my computer is a 10.6.6 macbook pro that i bought almost exactly one year ago. when i click import movie from camera a screen comes up but it is showing the built in isight. on the bottom left is a camera selection but the only choice is for the isight and not for the camera. however when i used a 6 to 4 pin firewire (which i don't currently have) on an older computer a 10.4 imac from about 4 years ago it works. when i did that it was because the 6 to 4 pins firewire didn't connect to this macbook pro, and now the 9 to 4 pins firewire doesn't connect to that imac. before i buy another 6 to 4 pins firewire, can someone confirm whether imovie isn't compatible with 9 to 4 pins firewire, or if imovie 09 isn't compatible with that camera, or if the camera isn't compatible with the firewire. thank you

    System profiler? It's a utility. Or Apple>About this Mac and click More Info.

  • Problem with iTunes compatability with iMovie and iPhoto

    I purchased some music from the iTunes music store and wanted to use that music in a homemade DVD I made. I also have tried using the purchased music when I play a slideshow in iPhoto. In both instances, an error window popped up saying that I needed to launch iTunes and authorize the computer to play the song... Well I bougth the music on the same computer and it is authorized. I typed in the authorization anyways and then after that iMovie and iPhoto both pop up with an error saying that it can't use the file.
    Thinking it might just be one song file... I have tried this with many purchased song. I have had the same problem with all of the purchased songs I've tried.
    Are some purchased songs not compatable with the iLife applications? How can I fix this problem? I'm running iLife 05 and I have installed all of the updates, including the most recent...
    iTunes 6.0.2
    iPhoto 5.0.4
    iMovie HD 5.0.2

    Do you need to update Quicktime as well?

  • ILife 08 and iMovie 06 compatibility issues?

    Sorry if any of this has already been covered in other threads...
    Has anyone had a chance to thoroughly test the 6.04 version of iMovie (download version if you install iLife 08) and know what compatibility issues there are?
    I.E. How well does iPhoto 08 play with iMovie 06, or iMovie 06 with iDVD 08. Are the third party plugins problematic with v6.04?
    From what I saw at the Apple store, iPhoto08 and iDVD08 would be the only apps that I would really want since iMovie08 seems to be a step backwards and iWeb is still lacking in everything that I wanted improved. But I don't want to waste the money to discover all sorts of "gotchas" with trying to get iMovie06 to play nice with the rest of iLife08...
    Also, has anyone done an install excluding iMovie08 entirely? Do you still need to download 6.04 if installed this way? Are there any pitfalls?
    This is like Deja vu or something...When iLife06 first came out, I installed everything but iMovie and stuck with iMovie05 for a long time cause of all the bugs and how long it took to get the third party plugins working...

    Of all the things for people to moan about with iMovie '08, the real unfortunate thing is it's inability to import effects, etc. (essentially your completed movie) from iMovie HD. One could somewhat forgive Apple for this debacle, if only it played nice with iMovie HD. Then it could be everything it's supporters say it is, i.e. "a different app," "a simple app for simpletons in a hurry" (although I find it's lack of tools and compatibility issues more difficult to manage).
    ...and a lot of us feel like this is the thing we're going to be stuck with going forward.
    I keep thinking that something else is going to happen, because this can't be right. I think this diver/video engineer who came up with this concept is suffering from the bends.
    Apple doesn't need the money, (as in making us buy Final Cut Pro for decent video editing), trust me, so I don't understand why it would take the PR hit.
    iMovie '08 spoofs are already on YouTube, etc.

  • Measure Compatibility with Dimensions

    Hello Folks,
    In Cognos, We have an option on defining measures compatibility with dimensions inside the cube i.e. incase if the cubes has measures from multiple fact tables along with the dimensions that are not common across fact tables, then the measure that are not compatible with dimensions can be defined, so that the measure value appears as NA when we probe the cube. Just wondering do we have anything euquivalent in Oracle OLAP.
    Cheers...

  • Is iMovie 6 compatible with Snow Leopard?

    I am using OS 10.5.8, and IMovie 6.  If I upgrade to 10. 6 will it mess up compatibility with the movie program? And will the 3rd party plug ins still work?

    I can't speak for the plug-ins - only their vendors can answer that, but iMovie 6HD works in Snow Leopard.
    It will run alongside later versions without problems, but I've never tried opening 6HD projects in 8. (6HD is far better than later versions in my opinion).

  • HT204368 I have a Contuor action camera, I can't import the software to my phone as it is not compatable with safari

    I have a contour action camera but I can't download the software to my phone as it is not compatable with Safari. Has anyone got a way to solve this problem?

    What model TC is this? How old and on what firmware?
    Do a full factory reset of the TC.. they do not like a change of setup.
    Remember changes to router require a power down of the modem for long periods.. maybe 30min maybe longer.

  • Panasonic SD700 Camcorder compatibility with iMovieHD

    I am considering the purchase of a Panasonic SD700 Camcorder not just for the reported image quality but because it has sockets for an external mike and headset. My only remaining doubt is its compatibility with iMovieHD. Is is simply a case of transferring the SD card from the camcorder to my Mac or does the camcorder output have to be converted into an iMovieHD-compatible format? Help would be appreciated. Regards.

    There have been a number of responses to my initial query but none seems to address it directly. I have both iMovie 09 and iMovie HD. The Panasonic model in which I am interested is the SD700 which only uses SD cards. I want to buy the most compatible camera possible to use with either of the above applications. I am trying to avoid having to do conversions to another format before I can edit. I am a newcomer to video & camcorders trying to avoid an expensive purchasing error. Further guidance would be appreciated and thanks to those who have contributed so far. Victor

  • Windows 8 and itunes 11 compatibility with an ipod

    I have itunes11 and Windows 8. I've called Apple and I've talked to Microsoft. This was months ago. I can download itunes and run it from my laptop but am unable to sync my ipod. I get an error and it automatically reboots my computer. I was told there were known compatibility with itunes and Windows 8.  This was months ago.
    I know how to downgrade itunes to XP or Win 7. This is not the issue. I can download to my laptop and place, it will not sync to my ipod device (which is a fear years old), but when I did talk to support I was told that it was supported. The ipod was not the issue.. It was the incompatibility between the programs.
    I see recent updates in the support community in the past month about production resolution but this still has not resolved my issue. I don't believe purchasing a new ipod is going to resolve the issue either.
    If anyone has successfully developed a workaround or recently downloaded itunes11 w/ Windows 8 and can sync to an apple ipod I would love to know how you did it.

    Im not sure that will solve the issue I have with itunes. I have a lenovo laptop and I think it's just an issue with Apple who has to modify the program for users of Windows 8 so that itunes can be used and to find purchased music. I found the music I purchased through itunes but it's not the full tracks. It said it allows me to download it fully so I can hear the whole track, but needs some kind of capatibility? I have no idea what the problem is. If someone has the answer knowing my computer brand and having windows 8 compatibility issues, please let me know what you suggest.

  • Is adobe photoshop cs2 compatable with windows 8?

    Is adobe photoshop CS2 compatable with windows 8?

    I have removed and re-installed CS2 twice now and still get the same library application error.
    DO NOT INSTALL WINDOWS 8 ONTO YOUR COMPUTER IF YOU WANT TO KEEP CS2!
    Telling us to spend more money to upgrade our software to meet OS does not show trust to the users. CS2 should be able to work with new OS systems and if not users should be allowed to update their current program for free to be able to use it on the new OS.
    Thank you,

  • I have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3

    i have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3.
    the problem is best explained on the following one - page thread: 
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3951518?start=0&tstart=0
    (Clearly i'm not alone in this problem, although i think i figured out what's going wrong a little more than he did...read on!)
    his solution, to put mainstage in jump mode, is very unsatisfactory to me, as it bounces all of a sudden to drastically different settings.
    basically, my analysis is that my controller is NOT receiving MIDI date from mainstage.  in other words, mainstage knows what my controller is doing, but my controller doens't know what mainstage is doing.
     let's say i turn the knob all the way to the right ... 127...and the virtual fader goes to the right like it's supposed to. 
    now...next...let's say i change to a different patch, where that same VIRTUAL fader is not at the max clockwise position..maybe it's only at 1pm.  now when i turn the physical knob to the RIGHT, the midi data is still at 127 on the controller!  it didn't "reset" to sync up with the new level (say 80 or so) setting on the new patch.  so i can't increase that new setting of 80 by continuing to turn the knob to the right.  i have to turn it all the way to zero,...and then continue PAST zero until the controller thinks that IT is at 0...at that point the controller and mainstage are in agreement, and things work fine....so bascially, the keyboard thinks the level is at max...but mainstage thinks the level is at 1pm.
    i am using Logic 9, and i have a macbook pro 2.9 Ghz I7 with 8 gigs of memory and OS X 10.8.4

    Hi Josh,
    Thanks for taking the time to contact us here a Novation for technical support. Lets continue to correspond via email so we can get your issue resolved.

  • I have an ipod touch second gen, how can i download the facebook app if it says its not compatable with my current iOS?

    i have an ipod touch second gen, how can i download the facebook app if it says its not compatable with my current iOS?
    i had the facebook app but i could never upgrade it and i was ok with using the outdated version but when i reset the ipod so i could gift it to a friend it obviously got rid of the app and now i cant downloaded because it says its not compatable, how can i download the version i had before i reset it?

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • Itunes 9.1 not compatable with XP?

    Tried to download 9.1 and keep getting error message that says: The software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP. Continuing installation of this software may impair or destabilize operation of your system either immediately or in the future.
    I have reboot computer several times, etc. Have never had a problem with any updates to itunes or iphone till now.
    Thoughts?

    Itunes 9.1 is definitely NOT compatible with Windows XP at this time. The culprit appears to be the Bonjour services package. I recently attempted to install via 3 methods: through Apple Update, via direct download over wireless and via direct download over wired connection. The result was the same in all three instances: when attempting to start itunes 9.1, it would immediately crash with a message "Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close...". Upon checking the application event viewer (control panel > performance & maintenance > administrative tools > event viewer) I was able to determine that the itunes crashes were due to Bonjour in all but one instance. Bottom line: steer clear of itunes 9.1 until Apple gets their comparability issues corrected.

    Hello Highcountryhike,
              Thank you for posting your request.  You should have no issues updating to 10.10 Yosemite.  Below are a couple links that should help.
    If you run the Software Updates from the Apple Menu, to check for updates.  Some have had issues not seeing updates, so simply click on "Store" from the top menu, and then click on Reload Page".  Select to install HP Updates to ensure you have the latest drivers.
    In some instances, the printer can be updated in the printer queue to resolve other issues, so check to make sure that the printer is listed with the HP Printer Series driver and not just AirPrint.  System Prefernces/Printers & Scanners/ select your printer on the left and check on the right side under "Location:" that Kind: is the printer series.  You can also click the "-" symbol to remove and then re-add the printer queue again, choosing the HP Printer series name to install the drivers.
