IMovie Broken (and QT pro too!)

Hi,
So upon completing a very simple imovie project (30s, 5 clips), I tried to 'share' it and save it as a decent sized quicktime file.
There are no video options avaliable under the expert settings....just audio setings! And, this happens no matter what resolution I choose to start my project (mp4-1080).
Can anyone explain this (apple?)
Is this due to me running imovie on my new Macbook?
further, even if I save the DV file, QUICKTIME PRO IS UNABLE TO EXPORT TO ANY SPECIFICATIONS OTHER THAN "email" and ".mac" (and as the huge .DV file). As in Quicktime pro is useless.
What gives???
much thanks for all any help.
I'll be ahppy to provide any extra info as needed (screen captures if you don't believe me!)

I see that you upgraded your system to 10.4.7, did you also upgrade Quicktime also? There was a little thingy noted about the Quicktime upgrade that said something about needing to purchase a new Quicktime Pro "key" if you upgraded your Quicktime to 7.1.2. What was actually said was this:
"Installation of QuickTime 7 will disable the QuickTime Pro functionality in prior versions of QuickTime, such as QuickTime 5 or QuickTime 6. If you proceed with this installation, you must purchase a new QuickTime 7 Pro key to regain QuickTime Pro functionality. After installation, visit www.apple.com/quicktime to purchase a QuickTime 7 Pro key."
Hope this helps. Good luck.

I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?

Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
Please can anybody help.

There are multiple reasons that lead to issue. You should read the troubleshooting guide to get the right solution to solve the issue: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

The installer for Logic Pro 8 has a bug which keeps it from operating in Lion or Mt. Lion. Use the program Pacifist to install it.

I have a fairly new iMac wI now have iMovie events and Final Cut pro events that are duplicates. Does that mean that all my video is copied onto my hard dive twice?

If I have video in imovie and final cut pro X, does that mean there are two copies of the video, one for each piece of SW? If so, how do I get rid of the imovie events and keep only the Final Cut Pro X events (video)? I don't want multiple copies of the same video stored on the hard drive.

If you import to FCP directly from the Camera or from a camera archive, you would likely import choosing Optimized Files which would go to a FCP event that is in ProRes 422 codec. This would be in addition to your iMovie Event which would import using the Apple Intermediate Codec. So you would have two copies of the same information. An AIC copy and a larger ProRes copy.
However, if you use FILE/IMPORT/iMOVIE EVENT LIBRARY, FCP will not duplicate the event files from iMovie. It will treat them as referenced files, and will point to the iMovie Event files in the reference. So there is no duplication. You will be editing Apple Intermediate Codec files in FCP.
However, FCP will create Event folders. In addition to the reference information, these will contain thumbnail files that are compatible with FCP, stabilization and analysis files that are compatible with FCP, as well as any intermediate render files that are associated with the Event.
So in this case, there is no duplication of the large event files, but there is some duplication of the small thumbnail files.
I have several terabytes of iMovie Events, which are now all available in FCP. Believe me, I would know if they were duplicated because all my disks would be full.

Using iMovie 11 in MacBook Pro and my photos are duplicating

I am using iMovies 11 in MacBook Pro. I dragged photos from one particular event, now I am trying to drag a couple more photos into this same Movie Project from a different event, but every time I drag and drop, it is duplicating the very last photo that was originally there from the first event and only showing that last photo from the first event instead of the new photos I dragged in. How can I correct this?

Hello:
Expensive is relative...
Microsoft makes a version (written native for the Mac) of Office:

Some of us use iLife - an Apple product that almost seamlessly translates Microsoft programs (for example Word to Pages) back and forth. You can always export in a Microsoft format...

How can i get my macbook pro too stay on and not sleep when lid is closed?

how can i get my macbook pro too stay on and not sleep when lid is closed?

If the machine is asleep, lid closed, and you plug in to an external monitor and an external USB keyboard, the machine will wake, anbd reconfigure the screen resolution for the external monitor, Once it has made this configuration change, you can open the lid and it will continue to address only the external monitor. At least that's how my early MacBook Pro unibody 13" works. It seems to run a bit cooler this way. It gets quite toasty with the lid closed while doing anything demanding and you are more likely to hear the fan come on. I have not seen any temps that would cause alarm, but I do get a high speed (6000 rpm), noisy fan sometimes with the lid closed, .
If you operate in the open-lid, external monitor only mode, if you deactivate the monitor for any reason, when it reactivates it will be running both screens, with all the navigation hassles this entails, so I generally set it not to deactivate the screen when in this mode.
Thus I agree with those who say that some of the cooling air is drawn in around the keyboard, the difference in cooling performance is observable. If you activate istat pro, get the computer hot running in clamshell mode, and open the lid, you can watch the CPU temp drop by a few degrees C within a couple minutes. It isn't a huge difference, but enough the lower the fan speeds.

Does anyone maybe know why the new Macbook pros don't have iWeb and how i can install it. My Macbook already came with the iLife thing, but it seems to only have iMovie, iPhoto and Garage Band. is there any way that i can install iWeb?

Apple discontinued iWeb. That's the case for over a year now.
Topics in this forum will tell you that in order to install iWeb you have to find a copy at eBay, Amazon and similar places.

Why do fonts and vector images look broken in Acrobat Pro (on retina display)

I often get scared of doing something horribly wrong every time I export to PDF from Indesign CC. I know I didn't mess up but my scariness is the effect of the terrible graphic support in Acrobat when viewing the pdf's. Fonts and Vector images look broken and the look of fonts only gets better after zooming in at an incredible 6400% ! Are my preference settings in Acrobat wrong or is it because Acrobat doesn't support Retina yet?

Moving this discussion to the Acrobat Installation & Update Issues forum.

How to do frame-by-frame editing in iMovie 08 and export in H264?

I wish to edit some videos and then export them in H264 so I can use them on a website.
I have tried to edit with iMovie 08 but can only edit second-by-second. I want to edit frame-by-frame ie to the millisecond. And it appears that iMovie 08 does not export in H264.
I have looked at iMovie 11 which has a Precision Editor which would work to edit as I want but for that I would have to upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard which I don't want. It would export H264.
I also have QuickTime Player 7 Pro but that too seems to edit only by the second not by the frame; it does however seem to produce H264
How can I edit these videos precisely and produce H264? Is there another application which would work better (and doesn't cost a fortune).
Thanks for any ideas

iMovie exports in h.264 by default. All the presets are h.264 (except Tiny).
If you need to adjust the h.264 in some way, then SHARE.EXPORT USING QUICKTIME.
To edit to the nearest frame, Go to iMovie/Preferences and select Display Time Codes.

Inferior quality of slideshow in iMovie 08 and iDVD 08

I created two separate slideshows in iMovie 08 and then, I imported them both to an iDVD 08 project as two different chapters. After burning the disk (once in iDVD and once in Toast 8 Ti, I see three problems in both versions.
First, the opening text that plays automatically when the disk is inserted into the player is hopelessly unsharp. I created that text in Photoshop and saved it as JPEG.
Secondly, all images are way too light on my flat-screen TV (in comparison to my calibrated Cinema HD monitor).
Finally, in my first chapter - and only in the first chapter - I see "rogue" pixels missing and/or flying around on the screen and sound that is randomly broken and sometimes missing for several seconds.
I started thinking that something might be wrong with my SuperDrive, but when I play back either one of those two versions of disks on my Mac (G5), there's absolutely nothing wrong. Both image and sound are flawless. That also precludes the possibility of a faulty blank DVD disks, faulty coding or inappropriate speed of recording... Doesn't it?
I would appreciate any suggestions that would help me get rid of those problems.

I can't say that I've ever tried using an export from keynote as the source video for an imovie project and in this respect you have given me useful information in regard to the fact that keynote exports can be imported into imovie.
Without having too much knowledge in this area, may I suggest that you try to preserve the format of your keynote export in your workflow throughout imovie.
If you are not too sure about what this involves, open your keynote export in quicktime, open the inspector window and tell us what format your .mov is in and we will do our best to suggest a workflow in imovie for you.

HDR-HC7 Sony Handicam Cannot Connect To iMovie On My MacBook Pro 17"?

Hi
It used to work but when things got upgarded along the way, the HDR-HC7 Sony Handicam is now unable to connect to the MacBook Pro. Not even in camera mode or playback mode. I have both iMovie HD and iMovie 09. Both too do not connect to the camera. Not even DV 100 mode. What seems to be the problem? Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you.

I have the same problem! - I have an older Sony that works fine but I recently upgraded to a HD Sony camera (HDR-XR520VE) an zilch! - Does anyone know of another program/way or what hardware I can buy so I can utilise my Mac HD storage & editing?? Does anyone at Apple have any suggestions??

Imovie 11 on macbook pro get error message cannot save project changes

imovie 11 on macbook pro get error message cannto save project changes:
Please check the disk to ensure there is enough free space and you have permission to write projects. iMovie will try to save periodically, but your changes will be lost if you quit iMovie before the problem is resolved. I have 462 GB disc space available. I don't know about "permission to write projects".

OK - bad luck about that. I hope you weren't too far advanced into your project. Sorry to hear that repairing permissions didn't help.
When working on a long project, it's advisable to duplicate the project from time to time. In Project Library view click on your project then select File>Duplicate Project from iMovie's menu. A number will be appended to the name of the duplicate, otherwise you can rename it. A short-cut is to control-click (or right-click) on the project name, then select Duplicate Project from the pop-up menu. Duplicating doesn't take up much extra space, as the project points to the clips in the Event (or Events) and doesn't contain actual video as such (it's basically a text file which also holds information about your edits, added photos, music, titles and so forth).
Also, it's best to have a backup, such as Time Machine. It gives you peace of mind when things go wrong!
