IMovie 08 Manual

I'm very disappointed that Apple introduces a new version of IMovie and yet has not published a manual for it. Some of us have a hard time using the video training modules and need a hard copy. Any idea when it will be published?

IMovie 6 Manuals vs. iMovie HD 6

I am trying to find a users manual for iMovie HD 6 that came with my ilife 06 suite. I can't seem to tell if iMovie 6 is different from iMovie HD 6. Can anyone tell me if they the same? I checked and I have iMovie HD 6 version 6.0.3 and want a good comprehensive users manual like the 'missing manual' series but want to purchase the right one.

"iMovie HD 6" and "iMovie 6" are the same thing, the version of iMovie that ships with iLife 6.
So yes, you want the book "iMovie 6 & iDVD: The Missing Manual".

Are there any free Imovie 9 manuals around?

Hi Everyone,
I bought my IMac on 31st December 2010, but I've only just started looking at using programs other than pages or the internet; as I've just finished year 2 at Uni. So now I can use stuff I want to use, yay!
I can't seem to find a manual for IMovie 9. I'm a recent Mac user, so don't have any previous knowledge of editing stuff, a manual would really come in handy.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks

Start here: http://www.apple.com/support/imovie/
Lynda.com has training DVDs and if you check Amazon you'll find some good books like The Missing Manual by David Pogue. There's probably some free tutorials on Youtube as well.

Is there a difference between iMovie '11 and iMovie HD?

Just getting started with trying to learn how to edit a video. Also, is '11 short for 2011? In other words, if I referred to "iMovie 2011" would I be talking about something that actually exists? I guess HD means High Definition. What do you call something that is NOT HD? Low def? Regular Def? The introduction to "iMovie HD"manual refers to "Magic iMovie" Does the word Magic have special meaning, the way it does in reference to a mouse (mighty or magic being different)? The   manual keeps referring to "the latest" but the copyright date at the back is 2005. This makes me wonder if there is a more recent version of this manual. Is there a place on the apple website to check on what the latest version is? What is the Product I am asking abouit? I don't think it is iMac, iPhone, iS 5 or None. But those are the only choices I see below here. Why is there not a choice of "iMovie"? Or iLife?

more questions: is a "project" the same thing as a "movie"?
A Project is a movie you are making. You can use the clips from one or more events in a project. You can also use photos from iPhoto or Aperture or the Finder, and you can use Music from iTunes. When you "finish" a project, you use the SHARE menu to execute all your edits and create a file that can be played where you want it, in the size you want it. Even after you Share a project, you can go back and edit it some more if you like, but then you would need to Share it again.
   Or is it a "project" while you create it and then it becomes a "movie:" after you finish it?
A movie is the result of your Sharing the project as I mentioned above.
This is something the Apple manual writers assume everyone already knows but I do not. What is a Cache and how it is different from a Library?
You shouldn't really need to understand caches and libraries to use iMovie. The Library is a section of your hard drive that you don't generally need to go to. It holds a bunch of files that are used by the system.
A cache is a temporary place to hold something that you might need right away. For example, Let's say you are editing the first five seconds of a clip. It takes time to go out and get the clip off the disk drive and bring it into memory so you can edit it. A cache might be used, say, to save some time by going ahead and bringing in the whole clip (not just the first 5 seconds) and maybe the next clip too. Another example. You want a glass of milk. So do you go to the store and buy a glass of milk? No. You buy a gallon of milk and put it in the refrigerator. You drink your glass of milk. When you want another glass, you go to the cache (the refrigerator) not the store. The iMovie App handles all this behind the scenes so you don't have to worry about it.
Clip seems on the surface obvious (a short section of continous video/audio that is a building block for a movie) but as I think about it, I wonder.....It is BOTH audio and video? or EITHER? If a movie contained only one clip wouold it be called a clip or a movie?
The best way to understand clips is that it is a unit of video from the time you press record on your camera until the time you press stop. Ususally a clip is from 5 seconds to 20 seconds, but if you are recording a convert, a single clip might be two hours.   A clip is imported into an Event. A clip, or a portion of a clip, can be used in a project. It becomes a movie when you share the project. Could you take one clip and make a project from it with no editing? Sure.
Usually a camcorder will record both audio and video. You can, however, use only the audio or only the video in a project if you want.
If the audio and the video were from different sources would it still be a clip?
No, it would be two clips. You can edit them together. If you want to sync multiple video angles (from different cameras) and different sound sources (like really good microphones, separate from the camera) then Final Cut Pro X is your best bet. But for simple needs, you can combine audio clips and video clips in iMovie.
   What are scenes? What are sections?
A scene is usually a unit within your movie. It is up to you to define that. For example, if I was makeing a movie about my daughter's marathon, I might put a scene together about the pre-race preparations, a scene about the starting line, a scene about the midpoint, and a scen at the finish line. Each scene could have many clips. A scene is really where you use your creativity. I am not sure how you are using the word Section.
What are effects?
An effect could be changing the color balance, adding a sound effect, adding slow motion or fast motion, adding an old-timey or black and white look, adding a freeze frame, there are a lot. You dont have to use them at all. It depends on the story you are trying to tell.
How many different types of panes exist? (So far, I see audio, titles, photos, transitions, effects, and iDVD) What is the difference between iDVD and DVD?
A DVD is a round disk that you put in a DVD player. You can create a DVD if you have DVD authoring software and a DVD burner. Five years ago, all Macs had DVD burners. Now, MacBook Airs, some iMacs, and some Mac Books no longer have built-in burners, but you can always add a DVD burner through a USB port. Apple used to sell iDVD, which is an app that is used for DVD Authoring. You can still find copies of iDVD on Amazon or eBay. More on disk burning here. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3711
More and more people are shooting HD video - and DVDs are only standard definition. And more and more people are sharing the video through YouTube and Facebook, which support HD. So Apple has been deemphasizing DVD lately. They have not updated iDVD since 2006. Still, if you make movies for friends and family who are not comfortable with the internet, DVDs are still quite useful.
What is video exactly and how is video different from a movie? Does video include audio by definition? Or are there different terms to refer to video with and without audio?
I think I already answered this one.

Please tell me how to do iMovie 6 COMMAND T (spit) in iMovie 11

I want to split an event to make chapters. I try to follow directions in iMovie 11 manual and online, but the "split" command is always grayed out. What can I do to split an event?
Thank you

Open up the text layer properties, add an animator>Fill Color, choose type, HUE usually works better for subtle changes but you can animate one or all color properties. Set keyframes for range selector to change individual letters or words or color to change everything.

IMovie Share to iDVD

I was trying to export an iMovie 6 file out of a laptop to another computer with burn drive--- I had problems. I finally got it to work, but I am trying to figure out how and why....
On an OS 10.3.9 machine, using iMovie 6, I did Share>Quicktime, Full Quality , and then tried to bring it into iDVD6 on a OS 10.5 computer. The newer machine wouldn't recognize the .mov file. Was it because the QuickTime on OS 10.3 computer hadn't been updated??? Or was it something else???
What ending up working as an import .dv file and not a .mov file. I am not sure how I got the .dv or why it worked in the end.
Thanks for your help!!!

I think I may have misunderstood your original reply - you were telling me to do the editing within Imovie and then just drop it into Idvd from the finder, & I thought initially that it was just to do the work within Idvd alone. The drop process does indeed retain the chapter marks, and I tried it, but the image quality (even when dropped) is so degraded once the work is back in Idvd that it's still not acceptable.
I haven't yet tried the export-full quality-qt.mov but I'll try that next, although I read in the Imovie help manual:
"IMPORTANT: When you share your iMovie project as a QuickTime movie using the Full Quality option, iMovie HD doesn't include chapter markers in the QuickTime movie."
Thanks for your responses.

External firewire hard drive and iMovie

I want to use an external firewire hard drive to save my iMovie files on while I work on them. Is there any where I can go to congfigure, or should it just work? I've been trying it, and iMovie will sometimes crash. Is there a way around this?
Thanks

From the SoftRAID manual:
Fire hubs and disk drives. FireWire hubs are notorious for introducing errors and instability onto the bus.
Make sure that all of your consumer electronic devices (iSight, cameras, scanners) are connected to a separate FW bus. These devices are not built to the same standards as storage devices and known for introducing errors onto a FW bus.
Cables. While most cables work fine with a single device, many cables will introduce errors when 2 or more disks are connected to the bus.

Output can be to any drive or partition. When you lauch iMovie it asks where to store your project.
I just bought a camera, and curious myself to see if I can take 10 minute clips and use iMovie/iDVD so that it will auto-play. I may end up buying Pogue's "iMovie Missing Manual" or something.

Loading Hi8 video to iMovie

Using the Pogue iMovie HD manual I am trying to load a 60min Hi8 tape. I am using my DV Sony Camcorder to digitize the footage and load through a firewire connection into iMovie. This process got me a the entire tape - as a single clip.
I then copied the Hi8 tape to a time-coded DV tape. Tried to download the DV tape into iMovie - got another great big clip!
I'm trying to avoid having to break out about 200-250 clips from this one big one.
Is there any way to put this footage into iMovie so that it will automatically detect the scenes?

Hi Eastwood
In iMovie under the menu "Preferences" You can select:
- import as individual clips
This will work if there is a code that iMovie can detect and cut up Your movie
from but when using an analog to digital box like Canopus + importing from
eg. a VHS VCR then there is no such information.
Result iMovie has no information that tells it where one sceen ends and next starts.
My guess is that a Hi-8 tape in a digital 8 camera doesn't have this info to
send to iMovie.
Result: If changing the setting in pref give no result - You have to go manual.

How do I move files from Event Library to Project Library?

How do I move Files from Event Library to Project Library? I tried drop and drag, that didn't work. I am new to Apple. I have always had a windows box b4 this. If anyone can help, please do. Thanks
Alain

welcome argardner to the  boards..
you're missing the concept of iM .. you don't move 'files' from Event to Project Library.. Events is the big box of all your imported clips; now, from that box of bricks, you drag the clips into all kind of projects.. you can 're-use' the same clip again'n again in many projects.. you can use all clips of all Events in one Project.. or all clips of one Event in two projects.. or..
spend some time here:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie

the concept of Events & Projects, Clips and Libraries is at first glance very different to 'normal' editing apps, but you'll get convenient to it within minutes..

Big Blunder with movies in iPhoto '08 and web galleries

I've just upgraded to iLife '08 and found a REALLY BIG BLUNDER in the use of movies with iPhoto and the web gallery. As it is, the new 10GB limit won't be enough for diddly squat of movie hosting.
I've got a Canon A640 that saves to .JPG and .AVI formats. iPhoto opens a gallery with them just fine.
But .AVI movies take up ~50MB per minute of video. A 2 minute movie I made is about 100 MB, while a 9 minute movie is 550MB in size. So while it's fine to view them on your desktop, you do NOT want to upload them!
However, iPhoto has no ability to convert .AVIs to any other formats.
I went into iMovie and manually selected each .AVI clip and Exported it as "medium" to my local drive. Ok, this gets you a .m4v file that's much more workable.
Going back to iPhoto ... uh, gee, "iPhoto cannot recognize that file format".
The new iMovie can export exactly ONE format -- .m4v -- and iPhoto thinks it's an iTunes file and won't work with it. Thanks a lot guys. What movie format IS iPhoto expecting to use, exactly?
I went over to the Apple store and presented my dilemma to one of the geniuses there, and the ONLY solution he could recommend was to get a license for Quicktime Pro and use it to do the conversion to .MP4. But, even then, iPhoto won't recognize .MP4 files in your folder. You have to explicitly import them. Again, iPhoto seems to like movies, but ... in what formats?
As an aside, MP4 files are smaller than M4V files, but the additional compression takes quite a toll on the image quality.
I filled up two 4GB SD chips with a couple dozen photos and several movies. The way iPhoto works right now, the only way to get these movies onto a .Mac gallery is to upload them directly, which is NOT a good idea! They take up an ENORMOUS amount of disk space, take FOREVER to upload, and I doubt users will find it very fun waiting for a 500MB download to view them (which download will take longer than the length of the video being viewed).
iPhoto needs a way to recognize .AVI files and STRONGLY discourage you from uploading them -- offering instead to convert them to something more useful, like .M4V format, WITHOUT having to swith over to iMovie or use Quicktime or some other program to do the conversion.
It also needs a way to tell it to handle other movie file format besides .AVI files.
Thanks
-David

Errrr.... you guys are totally missing the point.
Apple sells little Canon cameras, and they have them sitting right next to just about every Mac in the store. Ever noticed them? Maybe you own one? (I suspect not because you probably would have noticed this already if you did.)
These Canon cameras take two types of images: stills are .JPGs and movies are .AVIs. Got that?
JPGs are compressed and "ready to use".
AVIs are UN-compressed and NOT "ready to use". You can play them locally and they look fine. But there's not much to tell you they're HUGE FILES. When I say "huge", I'm taling 50 MEGA-BYTES PER MINUTE huge. That means a measley 2 minute clip is 100 MEGA-BYTES in size. OK? Now, what's the download rate on your iPhone? How long will it take you to view a 2-minute AVI file? But, surely, nobody is dumb enough to load them onto their Web Gallery, right? Keep on reading.
See, when you connect the camera to the computer, most people have their system set to open something like iPhoto or Aperture when the camera is connected. Agreed? (Maybe YOU don't, but LOTS of people DO.)
Notice that you can choose to have iMovie or Final Cut Pro or something else launch when you plug the camera in as well. It's up to you. Most people launch iPhoto - or Aperture if they've got it.
It so happens that iPhoto '08 loads in in BOTH sets of files. Why in the world iPhoto is happy reading in AVI files is beyond me, considering it won't recognize M4V files and has to be slapped to get it to take MP4 files. But it happily reads AVI files with no problem.
Now, if you've got your iPhoto set to AUTOMATICALLY SYNCHRONIZE with your WEB GALLERY, what happens?
Well, if you're like me and you filled two 4-GIGA-BYTE Flash cards with movies, and iPhoto launches (like when you plug the camera or flash memory into the computer) and starts to SYNCHRONIZE with your WEB GALLERY, what's gonna happen?
Did you actually TELL it to upload those files? NOPE! But it DID!
Several HOURS LATER your computer will finish UPLOADING 8 GIGA-BYTES of MOVIES to your WEB GALLERY! And if you interrupt it, well, it'll happily start over when you turn the computer back on again.
That's really nice since .Mac now has a 10 GByte limit. Two and a half 4-GB flash cards will fill up your .Mac account if you shoot movies with your Canon camera, have iPhoto set to launch when you attach your camera, and/or have it set to automatically synchronize with your web gallery.
All I'm saying is that if iPhoto is going to work with movie files, it should NOT blindly upload AVI files, NO WAY. I'd much prefer it if it would let you apply some kind of compression to them, eg., turn them into MP2 files. (MOV files are even bigger than AVI files, from what I can tell.)
We're not talking about what you THINK about doing. We're talking about the DEFAULT BEHAVIOR of the program for a VERY COMMON SCENARIO -- that you don't HAVE to think about.
So it's very possible that while you're happily editing your AVI movies in iMovie or Final Cut, iPhoto is happily sitting in the background uploading the same files to your Web Gallery. And you are clueless.
Is that making sense now?

External firewire hard drive reverts to slower transfer speeds

This is the strangest hardware problem I've come across. I'm running a unibody mbp (June 2009) with an external WD 2.0TB Caviar Green drive mounted in a firewire 800 enclosure made by icydock.
Lately, I've noticed that after an unknown amount of uptime, the speed of file transfers to the WD external drive slows down dramatically. I figured this out by watching my time machine transfers take a bit longer after awhile, and I verified this using aja system test and speedutilities.
When I boot my mbp in the morning, file transfers and time machine backups to the external WD transfer at a rate of about 67-75MB/s. This is the speed the drive should always be working at since it's connected via firewire 800. Aja speedtest verifies the speed is as it should be as well.
Then, after a couple hours of using my mbp, or even later in the day, I'll transfer a file to the external WD or run a time machine backup and find that the transfer will only run at a max of 29-35MB/s. This is exactly half the speed the transfer should be going at. Subsequent transfers stay at this slower rate no matter what I do.
However, I've been able to fix this problem by unmounting and remounting the external WD or restarting my mbp. After doing either of these actions, the WD external goes back to contant transfers at 75-80Mbs. So something is happening where the longer the mbp is running, or after some sort of disk activity, the external WD reverts to a slower transfer speed (closer to FW400). I can't isolate whether it's an issue on the mac os side or the hard drive or the hard drive enclosure because I can make the hard drive go back to optimal speed again merely by unmounting and remounting it. This works consistently until a few hours later when the drive begins to handle transfers at half speed again.
I run hourly time machine backups to the drive. The time machine backups can't be the culprit because the drive remains running at optimal speed after the backups (verified with aja system test and speed utilities)
Any possible ideas as to why the drive cuts down to half its optimal transfer rate after a bit of time? I can't figure out the cause of this, and the consistency of the drop leads me to think this is an issue with the power management on the drive since it reverts to full fw800 speed when I umount and remount the drive or restart my computer. Could this be an OSX issue where for some reason the system isn't negotiating the fastest speed?
Any help appreciated.

Capturing video on MacBook Pro

I have several old VHS-C tapes that I want to upload into my Macbook Pro, where they can be edited. I have an old VHS camera to play the tapes, but I cannot get it to connect directly to my Macbook pro to upload in iMovie as you normally would when you capture video for a project. So, I am trying a "work around" of sorts. I have the video camera connected to my Yamaha receiver that all video inputs are routed through. The Yamaha receiver has an HDMI out, which is normally hooked to TV. I connected my Macbook Pro to the Yamaha''s HDMI OUT using an HDMI to Thunderport adaptor. I figured that I would be able to capture video through Thunderport this way. So far, no luck.
I know you can connect your MBP to the TV using HDMI as an output from the computer. Can the HDMI-Thunderport cable also be used as a Video In somehow?
Thank you for any help!

if you connect Yamaha's hdmi to tv, do you have output from camera?
If you go to iMovie and manually select the import source.... ?

Macbook Pro wont find Panasonic NV-DS60

I'm trying to get video off of my Panasonic miniDV camcorder onto my Mac. I have the 6point to 4 point firewire cable.
iMovie isn't detecting it. And it's not showing up on the System Profiler either.
Any ideas?

Hi All,
I have it working. I thought I'd let you all know because I went searching for an answer and couldn't find one anywhere.
As you are all used to when you plug a DV camerainto the Firewire port iMovie just loads and your ready to import. I did the same and nothing happened so I assumed it wasn't finding the camera. After much searching I was about to give up when I decided to load iMovie and manually try the import. To my surprise the camera was there and I was able to import as per normal. It's currently importing as I am typing this.
So plug the camera in, turn it on, open iMovie, go to import from Camera and you should see it there ready to go.
I'm using a MacBook Pro with running 10.6.7
Cheers,
Chris

Separating audio from video track

I'm going to try and download video from a camcorder to iMovie for the first time. I recorded a kids concert with my camcorder and want to separate the audio from the video to burn just the audio onto a CD. How do I do that?

I don't want to burn the entire soundtrace of what I recorded, just one song of the performance I recorded.
I can only tell you what I would probably do in your situation:
1) I would import only the portion i wanted. You should be able to do this by using the iMovie '08 manual option setting. Simply plug in your camcorder and when the Import window opens, set the "manual" switch. Press the "Fast Forward" button on your camcorder to move the tape to the approximate location of the content you want. Press the "Stop" button, switch to the "Play" mode and press and hold the "Fast Forward" and/or "Rewind" controls on your camcorder to locate a point on your tape just prior to the song you want. As soon as your release the "Fast Forward" or "Rewind" camcorder button, press the "Import" icon in the iMovie '08 "Import" window to begin your actual capture. When the song ends, press the "Done" icon in the iMovie '08 "Import" window to terminate capture. At this point you can close iMovie '08 as soon as it will let you do so.
2) Locate the "Event" folder to which the clip was imported and move the file to your desktop or other convenient location on your hard drive. If this was the only clip in the "Event" folder, you can delete the "Event" folder. If you imported the clip to an "Event" folder in use, delete Thumbnail/Cache folders to force iMovie '08 to re-generate the "Event" folder contents without the clip you just moved.
3) Open your clip in either QT Pro or MPEG Streamclip. Trim your clip by using the Left/Right arrow keys to move the playhead to the exact frame you wish to begin your audio recording and press the "I" ("In") key. Now drag the playhead to the end of the clip and use the Left/Right arrow keys to locate the exact frame where you wish to terminate your audio recoding and press the "O" ("Out") key. The progress bar should now reflect the "trimmed" content designated for conversion.
4) Now convert your file to audio. In QT Pro, select the "Sound to AIFF" File menu Export option. In MPEG Streamclip, select the "Export Audio..." File menu option which should default to "AIFF" but can be reset to MP3 is so desired. At this time simply select your destination location and press the "OK" or "Save" button for whiever application you are using to begin your conversion.
5) Burn the resulting file to CD using whatever utility/work flow is normal for you.

Beginner Question - How do I amke frames size 320x240 ?

I am trying to make a student project using QT movies which are 320 x 240 pixels.
I want to string them together with some edits, titles and text but not change their size. Then save them back to a Quicktime movie the same size.
But when I drag 2 movies each about 15mb into iMovie they are turning into a huge file over 1.1Gb. I think they are being "upsized" to HD. Is that right?
How do I stop that? It is way to big for my hard drive space and I have only just started. I will also have to make the final file small enough to take on a flash drive to school.
Am I using the wrong program for this? If so what should I use?
Thanks for any help.
Patrick (Peter's my Dad)

Hi Peter,
I'm a father too, so I appreciate your "joined forces"... ;-))
.. but, where to begin?
he doesn't have a lot of time
before publishing a book, you have to learn reading & writing...-
you don't learn the basics of editing and the many feature of apps as iM, nor QTpro on the fly...
esp. No 5) on your list, How do you add controls, buttons, interactivity etc? lets me stumble..
* QTpro is a tool with some "basic" editing skills. And a mighty converter.
* iMovie is an elaborated editing tool for TV...
* "interactivity" is a feature of socalled slideshow makers as Keynote, Powerpoint...
you have to decide, which tool to use, depending on your goal you want to accomplish...
probably, you should forget all that video editing, and add his "micro clips" in some Keynote presentation?
and that We kept the size down so he can fit the project on his 256mb flash drive now is really hillarious (sorry, probably not approbiate english term, me no english speaker).. that adds the next, maybe the biggest hurdle to go, because video downsizing aka compressing is the next problem. and compressing makes e.g. titles/letters unreadable...
...... where to start?
do they have "Keynote" on the computers at school?
if NOT, you have to save the whole presentation as a "movie", you just need a playback app; but that will be for sure much, much bigger then a tiny flashstick...
do you need video+new audio+titles IN video+transitions IN video?
then you need an edit tool as iMovie...
convert the micro movies with QTpro into "dv stream", import to iM, follow advices found here:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/imovie/
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMovieAtAGlance.pdf

http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMovieLesson5.pdf
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMovieLesson6.pdf
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMovieLesson7.pdf
after editing, in the share/Quicktime/Expert settings dialog you can choose a compressor, which could crunch your video down to some size => loss of pic quality/readability of titles...
... and also because we do not have heaps of space free on my hard drive....
video contains 13Gb per hour. fullstop. no workaround to avoid that.
Plan B)
use Keynote
create charts/slides
add some videos here&then (not fullsize!), prepare them with QTpro before import to Keynote, e.g. edit them. place "titles" on Keynote slide, NOT in video; adding audio is ... very, very basic in Keynote...- (Keynote is a slideshow maker, no video editor....)
safe as Keynote pres (small file, needs Keynote on school computer) or as Quicktime movie (huge file, needs only QTplayer app)
What is a reasonable size for a presentation
best practise: the res of the computer/monitor/beamer your using for presentation... in most cases MORE then video...
How did they make those?
... not in a hurry…
sorry for being no help.... :-/
