IMovie '08, iMovie '09 and iMovie '11 Compatibility

Hi All,
Are the features in the three versions of iMovie compatible? Eg. If I insert iMovie '11 project files into iMovie '09, will things go crazy?
Thanks

Thanks for the responses.
So, in short, I can use full features from '08 and '09 if I have '11? I think that is what you guys are saying. Right now I have '09 and will need to be able to work with the project files from all three versions. Sounds like I should be good to go if I upgrade to '11.
Thanks again.

  • 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.

  • CS4 and Windows 8 compatibility

    Has anyone successfully installed CS4 on Windows 8? I am currently using Windows XP and received a pop up saying Microsoft are no longer releasing updates for XP after August and I am entitled to a free download of Windows 8. I am trying to decide whether to do this but risk losing my use of CS4 which I really don't want to do. Any advice much appreciated as not sure whether to just continue with XP. Thanks in advance.

    If you search Google using the terms "CS4 and Windows 8 compatibility" you can probably find various results from both Adobe and Microsoft that should give you some idea of how much of a gamble you might face in changing your OS.
    In my own experience, a change in OS has yet to be a positive experience... while most people loved XP in its day, I suffered years of poor performance with it as an upgrade from the moment it was installed and regretted doing it.  Maybe you've had better experience and aren't as shy of it as I am.

  • Player 10.1 and Air using Compatibility Mode

    This is related to post at http://forums.adobe.com/message/2933137#2933137, but, thought I should start another since that one is marked answered.
    I'm having a similar issue with an Air app, but, I am using 4.1 SDK (and LCCS 10.1 swc), but still getting the same error regarding GroupSpecifier (pasted below).
    I have an Air app project and related web app project, which both use a library project (ARSystemLib in the trace below).  The library project is using 4.1 SDK, and has the Flex 3 compatibility mode turned on, along with 10.1.0 set as "use a specific version" under "Flash Player Options".  The Air project is also using 4.1 SDK and Flex 3 compatibility, along with the compiler option "-target-player=10.1.0".
    For the web app, I had to remove the "Use a specific version" of 10.1.0 for it to compile ( was getting many "Classes must not be nested", which seems to be a difficult issue to fix after much research on others getting this message).
    I'm okay with the web version not using 10.1 for p2p, but, critically need this for the Air version.  I'm hoping it's not the "Compatibility" mode setting, as reworking the app without is a huge undertaking.
    Thanks,
    David

    Hi David,
    Apologies for the delayed response. I am guessing you will have to update the namespace in your <PROJECTNAME>-app.xml file under src of your project.
    Your name space should be 2.0 or greater.
    Its possible that your app has namespace like -
    <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5"> ,
    but it should be
    <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.0">
    Also other options is to add -target-player=10.1.0 to your flex compiler options [additional compiler arguments]
    Thanks

  • Final Cut Pro 4.5 and Quicktime 7 compatibility issues. Error 39!

    I see some people saying Quicktime 7 is not compatible with Final Cut 4.5 and some saying it is.
    I upgraded to 10.3.9 and then Quicktime 7 and I started getting error 39 at this one spot in my timeline and then crashing if I tried to play just a few seconds ahead of that spot. I tried trashing the prefs but that didn't do any good. The individual files play fine outside the timeline so it isn't corrupt media. I tried rerendering the effects that are at that point but that didn't help. I tried copying the entire timeline to a new sequence and that didn't help.
    The strange thing was that when I took the part of the movie that was having trouble and deleted it from the timeline it still got error 39 when just playing over the empty timeline where the media used to be! This led me to realize that the problem lay in some Quicktime audio effects I had about a second in front ot the error 39 spot. I took off the effects from that audio but it didn't help. Then I deleted that audio from the timeline and just pasted it back in from the original clip and then it finally got to working.
    Now I know nothing about the software, but I thought there might be some connection between the fact that I had effects that FCP labels as "quicktime effects" on there from my days in Quicktime 6.5, then upgraded to Q7, and perhaps those old effects don't work in Q7? I don't know.
    So, my immediate problem is solved but I thought this experience may be of use to someone else. And perhaps some compatibility issues can be brought to light.

    I would assume the Software Update program has sufficient logic within it to detect that my friend is running Final Cut Pro 4.0 and it would therefore be disastrous to install QuickTime 7.3, thus removing QuickTime 7.3 from her list of suggested updates. Would someone at Apple please fix this?
    Sorry, but Quicktime is a component for SO MANY things, not just FCP. Sorry, but the OS doesn't detect that older versions of software are on there and won't be compatible...this is where you need to have a little knowledge. And sorry, but you need to have a little knowledge. If things are working, DO NOT UPGRADE unless it has been tested and cleared. In the case of FCP 4...it has not.
    Rule of thumb...if you use older software, you have to stick to older versions of the OS and components that that software relies on.
    How many things were broken with Vista? So many that the HUGE community let out a cry and now XP is available again configured on machines or as a stand alone buy. And no, Vista didn't warn that certain applications wouldn't work either.
    You gotta research and find out. This place here...this forum...is a FANTASTIC place to find stuff like this out.
    BTW...Apple doesn't read these forums, only us users. Gotta submit feedback here:

  • When will Windows 7 and IE 8 compatability roll out?

    If you look at this thread 'Xcelsius 2008 Fix Pack 3.1 (FP3.1) is now available'  there is a "upcoming major Xcelsius release" mentioned but no dates or timelines.  When is this going to happen and will Windows 7 compatability be part of that release?  I have customers right now that want to know, if they integrate some Xelcius dashboards into our web application, will this work in Windows 7 and IE 8.
    I also noticed the expiration notice on 2008 Engage Server going away.  I have Xcelsius 2008 Engage (not the server version).  What is the estimated life cycle on it in light of the Server version going away next year.
    P.S. I am aware of the XP compatability mode in Windows 7 but I have a hard time believing SAP would consider that a permanent solution.

    Hi Matt,
         I understand you can't give any detailed timelines yet, as I can only assume you guys are still early in the development cycle for some of the fixes and updates required for Windows 7 and IE 8 compatibility.  My problem is I have customers that want a reporting solution integrated into the web application my company provides as a product.  We want to sell them on the idea of buying Xcelsius licenses and developing their own metrics reports that would seamlessly integrate with our application and we provide an API for them to do that right now.  It becomes a pretty tough sell when they ask about Windows 7 and IE 8 compatibility and I can't really tell them anything definitive other then  "I think SAP is working on that?".  Its not like were talking about an obscure OS and browser, this is Microsoft after all and its my understanding they have a bit of a following    .  I would, at the very least, like to be able to confidently tell my customers that SAP is commited to making sure Xcelsius 2008 Engage (or what ever the next version name is ) will be fully compatible with Windows 7 and IE 8 and that the long term plan is the end of this year? middle of next year? some other non-ridiculous time frame so I can assure them its not a waste of time waiting for this product to be updated?
         You mentioned any SWF files we create (at least it was implied) should run as long as Flash Player 9 or later is installed? Is that truly the case? The reason I ask is the Adobe web site says the Flash Player 10 is compatible with both Windows 7 and IE8.  Is the only issue driving this compatability problem the version of the Flash Player installed, or are there still some pieces of Xcelsius that need to be rewritten to accomodate Windows 7 and IE8 regardless of what version of Flash Player is resident?  Bottom line is what can I tell my customers to reassure them this is the correct path forward for their reporting needs?
    Thanks,
    Matt

  • Imovie and canon hv30 compatibility

    is the canon vixia hv 30 compatible with the iMac OS X 10.5.4 and OS X 10.5.3? It looks like you connect with a USB port instead of Firewire and I thought you had to use firewire to connect to iMovie.

    Hi
    Canon HV30 is compatible with iMovie 08. You connect with a 6pin-4pin firewire cable. The USB cable is for transferring still images from the camera. Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • HT6023 iMovie 2013 Compatibility Question

    I have a 2008 iMac, which apparently doesn't have an OpenCL-capable video card.  Is this something I could buy and have installed??  I really want to be able to use iMovie 2013 (version 10).  I'd buy a new iMac if I had the cash...ha! 

    Unfortunately you cannot.

  • 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.

  • 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 HD Compatibility

    Apple site does not list the JVC GR-D720US Mini Dv camcorder as compatible. Can anyone tell me if it is?

    It should be, but I haven't used one, so can't say for absolute certain. As it's a DV camcorder - and seems to be a reasonable one (..that review may take a while to load..) it should be compatible.
    It appears to have "analogue-to-digital pass through" ..which means that you should be able to import any other video source through it straight into iMovie ..e.g; VHS tapes.
    Note that you probably won't get an appropriate FireWire cable in the box with it: you'll need a 4-pin-to-6-pin FireWire (..also called 'i.Link' or DV..) to connect it to your Mac. A USB cable will NOT do ..that's just for transferring stills, or for using the camcorder as a webcam.
    Any software which comes with it will probably be for a PC, so won't work with a Mac. But you shouldn't need any extra software to use it with a Mac: plug in a FireWire connection and it should be recognised. And plug in a USB cable and open iPhoto, and its still photos should be recognised ..if not, use the program called Image Capture, in your Applications folder.
