IMovie Compatibility Question

If I load iMovie onto my ipad2 and iphone4 can I edit movies created on one with the other?
Can I simply email from one to the other to do this?
Message was edited by: Jeff Shaw1

You could send the finished imovie from iMovie 6 back to DV camera and then import into iMovie 4 to do minimal editing...but you ofcourse couldn't change themes, transitions, etc...
Then you could send it to iDVD, I suppose.

Just installed Forte as a Simple Server on a Digital UNIX (v4.0d) box (being

I'm having trouble finding media that contains C++ v5.4.-006 for the Unix

IMovie Compatibility

I am looking to buy a Panasonic GS-90 Mini DV tape camcorder which lists in its manual that a Mac Operating Environment on iMovie HD is a Power PC G5, Intel core and 10.4 Tiger.
I am currently running 10.4 on a Power PC G4 with a much older version iMovie 2.1 with no interest in high definition. Can I presume that this panasonic (while requiring the G5 Intel for high definition support) will still work for standard definition on my G4 with iMovie 2.1 for importing and editing?
Thanks for any help with these iMovie Compatibility issues.
Rich

After these conversations, I might just go ahead and buy iLife 08 and downgrade to iMovie 06 and just forget about my old iMovie 2.1 which has really served my purposes well up to now. That way, I'll also get iPhoto and garageband which seems like it might be a little fun to work with. And the whole package takes up only 3 GB whereas iLife 06, I believe, takes up more space.
I'll also gain the ability to work with iDVD and burn to my external burner (not previously allowed prior to iLife 06) instead of through Toast which has also also served me well.
And when I do get my new Panasonic camcorder, it should import into iMovie 6 with no problem.
It seems like a big bang for the buck!
Thank you, gentlemen, for your responses and great insights.

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.

Monitor Compatibility Question

I plan on purchasing a Mac Pro with the Radeon X1900 XT card in the near future. I have been shopping around for a good monitor, and the Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP (found here: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku= 320-4335) caught my eye. However, at the bottom of the tech specs, it lists only PC under "Compatibility." I know of other people who have used Dell monitors for their Macs, and this monitor does have DVI, so I don't see why it would not be compatible with the Mac Pro. Does anyone know definitively whether or not this monitor would work?

Hello,
You should be just fine. The majority of monitors are listed as compatible with PC's only. The simple reason is that the manufacturers don't care to test them with Macs and have all their resources devoted to supporting what they know.
If they mentioned that it would work with a Mac, then they would be stuck trying to answer your questions on the phone if you needed help. Since they don't use Macs, and don't maintain a staff of Mac trained people, it is easier to just omit official support. That way they can just tell you that they don't support Macs and hang-up the phone.
I've been using PC monitors with my Macs since before Apple even supported PC monitors at all (you used to have to buy monitors with Apple specific cables). I would just use an adapter to convert the PC connector to connect to the Mac video port.
In all my years, I've never found a PC monitor that would not work with my Mac. And, that still holds true today. I've used several low-end monitors with my current machines, and all work fine.
I've even got a bargain basement DVI monitor connected right-now, and it works perfectly.
Basically, if you want official support and a guarantee, then buy a monitor that specifically lists Mac compatibility.
But, if you are willing to accept that their phone support will avoid helping you, then go with any brand you like.
Understand that Dell is primarily interested in selling and supporting Dell computers. They have no interest in fielding calls from Mac users because they are not going to be familiar with OS X. Naturally, they will list PC compatibility because they know Windows very well.
But, you should also understand that the only difference between an Intel-based Mac and an Windows PC, is that the Intel-based Mac can also run OS X. Otherwise, they are just different brands of computers that use pretty much the same hardware.
I hope this helps.

IMovie Trailer Question about Event

When I attempt to create a trailer I'm presented with a dialog box that asks me to create a title (no problem) and an event. I don't understand what event I should select. None of the media that I will use is in any of the listed events. I will be using photos from my iPhoto library.
Since I have to select an event I am at a standstill.
Help!

Hi C Nelson,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you are having issues using the Trailer function in iMovie, you may find the following article and walkthough helpful:

Platform compatibility question(s) from new user!

I'm confused.
I picked up Java a few days ago, with the intention of converting a long-standing JavaScript project that I have to run as an applet. I downloaded and installed the Java2 SDK (1.4) and associated runtime environment, and a simple but good IDE (JCreator 2).... and I'm happily developing applets to my heart's content. Cool language, by the way.
HOWEVER, none of my colleagues (on IE5/5.5 on Win2K/Millenium) can view my resulting efforts. Their browsers complain that they can't find the class. Works on mine, on-line, just not theirs. I've sadly made the assumption that it's because I've installed the 1.4 JRE and they haven't.
I REALLY want to use 1.4 to develop if I can. My JavaScript project that I'm converting is heavily dependant upon regular expression operations, and it would be a pity not to have them available - but platform compatibility is a must; this is a commercial project.
I'm missing something here, and I need to ask some really fundemental questions.
1. I was assuming that most browsers over 4.0 would support "Java2". Just what IS their level of support, by default. I hate new plug-ins, and the Java ones arent trivial!
2. I had thought that any flavour of Java2 (1.2/3/4) would work on the same virtual machine release, and that new features in 1.4 would simply compile to existing bytecode sequences. Am I wrong?
3. If I have to develop for maximum compatibility with earlier browsers, can I do this with 1.4 and some compiler switch, or do I have to download older SDKs?
4. If the worst comes to the worst, is there a class out there that handles regular expression "style" operations that will work on older releases of the language.
Sorry that there's a fair bit there to answer, but since I can't find this info ANYWHERE on the web, I guess I won't be the only newbie facing such issues.
Peter McKean.

just a few points to add to the other answer :
HOWEVER, none of my colleagues (on IE5/5.5 on
Win2K/Millenium) can view my resulting efforts. Their
browsers complain that they can't find the class.
Works on mine, on-line, just not theirs. I've sadly
made the assumption that it's because I've installed
the 1.4 JRE and they haven't.
Yeah the Java support in IE is whack. The m$ JVM never got past java 1.1.4 compatability for various reasons. So unless you want users to install the java 2 pluggins, you have to code applets with the java 1.1 api. You can still do this with a java 2 sdk - you just have to watch the parts of the api you use.
>>
2. I had thought that any flavour of Java2 (1.2/3/4)
would work on the same virtual machine release, and
that new features in 1.4 would simply compile to
existing bytecode sequences. Am I wrong?Yeah you are wrong ;) . When do do:
import java.<package>.<class>
you are telling the compiler where to find the classes you are about to re-use in your code. You are not including them in your final compiled class files. So when the program runs, it looks for the classes in the classpath. If you use classes that don't exist in an older jvm, the program won't run in that jvm. (Same as if a C or C++ program is dynamically linked to dlls (in Win32) or shared objects on unix - they need to be on the system that the program is executed on.)
hope this helps...

IMovie export question

I am using Roxio video converter to take my old 8mm tapes into iMovie (10.0.6) and then into iDVD. I have two questions. I have read that you should change the video format to AIC for older versions of iMovie, is this still the best practice with the newer version? All of my videos are SD, so when I share the file from iMovie, what quality should I select (high, medium....)?
TIA

Is this movie comprised of video or still images?
Matt
The movie is entirely video clips from our digital camera. Granted, they are not camcorder quality to begin with, but they do look great when played back in fullscreen mode in iMovie. Shouldn't I be able to get that same quality after I export the movie? Shouldn't it be simple to do?
A friend who works at Pixar saw the movie on DVD, and confirmed that he saw lots of "artifacts" from compression. He didn't have a solution, not being familiar with the software, but it seems to me there should be a way to export the movie uncompressed. I shouldn't be restricted to playing it only in iMovie on a Mac to see it the way it is meant to be seen, right?
(I guess my gripe with Apple is that this program is designed for amateurs making home videos, like me, but they seem to expect that we'd be satisfied with poor quality exports, rather than wanting our movies to look professional.)
Thanks for all your help.

IMovie - quick questions about video files when importing and optimizing

Hi, have some quick questions. I think they are simple.
1. When I import a video (from say iPhoto), where does it get "Move" or "Copy" to?
2. Why would I want to do "Copy" instead of "Move", because isn't it then taking up more space?
3. I'm wondering if after I optimize a video, I can stash away the original (non-optimized video that I either "Move"d or "Copy"d earlier) into an external hd.
4. By the way, what is the new file name of the optimized video?
Though things are working fine in iMovie and iPhoto, I'm trying to manage hard disk space, and hope answers to these questions will help.
Do you guys have a guideline on how to manage hard disk space when it comes to iphoto and imovie?
Thanks.

As has been suggested you can encourage people to download QuickTime player by doing something like this...
http://www.mirroroftheuniverse.com/Songs.html
You can also present your songs like this...
http://roddymckay.com/Satellite/JukeBox.html
This is a SnoCap jukebox and you need an account to use it but you'll get the link to ESnips on the above page.
A 3 minute song has a file size of about 30 Mb in AIFF format. Converting it to MP3 reduces it to about 3.5 Mb and M4A to about 5.5 Mb.
iTunes will do these conversions for you and M4A is far superior to MP3 as far as sound quality is concerned.

IMovie Version Questions

I've read with interest the issues regarding iMovie8 and regret just having purchsed a new iMac, primarily to upgrade from an old iMovie4 version. The inability to export back to tape (that was Apple tech advice for best means of storage!). Based on reading posts, iMovie6 addresses some issues, but I have two questions for those of you knowledgeable about this situation:
1-I read somewhere in the many chains that any version of iMovie past 4 (that I have) will no longer "pass through" analog signals from a camera (in my case Sony) and convert to digital: that is exactly what I've been doing over the last several years with older analog tapes (Hi8) of our kids. So, does this mean if I go even to iMovie6 I'll be unable to digitize video from those old tape? If so, I'm completely boxed in.
2-With older iMovie versions, the transfer back to tape has worked perfectly. But, with iMovie4, I find that as it goes back to tape on the camera, there are occasional "freezes"--the image stops for a fraction of a second or a second or two. And that freeze is on the tape version (even though the movie itself on the computer is fine. Has anyone had this issue with any version of iMovie that still allows transfer back to tape.
I'm feeling very abused...potentially unable to use old analog tapes with iMovie6, unable to transfer back with iMovie8, and the transfers are not working well with iMovie4. Any advice appreciated.

Thanks for your several responses. Based on your comments, iMovie6 should be ok for both analog pass through my Sony directly into iMovie, and to transfer back to tape. Others had indicated that the analog pass through was not operative after 4, but you're doing exactly what I'm asking about. Based on all comments I've read, neither analog pass through nor transfer back to tape will work in iMovie 8. I guess I'll proceed, and download iMovie6 as others seem to have done...although I've seen some issues with running 6 when 8 is on the computer. Thanks again.

IMovie novice questions

Hello,
I'm using Quicktime Pro to create time-lapse sequences from still images. I'm trying to create the highest quality movie possible. Probably a widescreen format, and I've got some questions that I couldn't find any answers for.
1. What is the largest (pixel X pixel) Quicktime movie I can import into iMovie? I tried 1600 X 900 and it squashed the image. 960 X 540 seemed to fit.
2. Once I've created a Quicktime sequence what is done next. Do I "save", "save as", or "export." And if export is the answer, which file type?
3. Once in iMovie what video format is recommended: DV, DV widescreen, HDV 1080i, ...?
4.Is there a tutorial or book that anyone can recommend. I've got the "Visual Quickstart Guide: iMovie HD6 & iDVD6", but I can't find the answers I'm looking for.
Thank you

Hi
To be able to use Your iM 5 movie project on Your "New" Mac You need iLife6 and
iMovie HD 6 that as far as I've read this forum should work OK.
In iMovie HD 6 You can have several movie project open simultaniously and from one
timeline copy over to a new open project. This without going via QuickTime Export/Import.

IMovie exporting questions, please help!

Hi,
I'm trying to transfer a home movie from a video camera and make it a quicktime file.
1st of all: Do I have to go through iMovie? Or can it just import as a quicktime movie?
2nd of all: in iMovie, is the only way to import it to import it as it plays? For long movies, this takes a while- is there a faster way?
3rd of all: Once I have the iMovie project, and I want to make it a quicktime file, i'm faced with this dilemma. I find "CD-ROM quality" slightly unacceptable, and "Full Quality" takes up about 1 GB per hour of movie . I see that there is an "Expert Settings" option; how can i use this option to find a middle ground?
Thanks so much!

welcome to the "wonderful world of video compression" .... ;-)))
I'm not familiar with QTpro7, it has a "record" option, but I'm not sure, wether it recognizes firewire-input...
I would choose iM anyhow, because, it is very convient in usage: I can remote control the camera, I can edit "quick'n dirty"...
the camera can play-out in realtime only - so, input-speed ist set here, not by iM... if this answers your second question; digital files get imported much faster, your harddrives speed set the limits...
the expert option get visible, when you choose 'em and hit the button, you get confronted with this dialog:
in the drop-down, you can choose many codecs/compressor, each offers different "options"... you can set codec, bitrates, resolutions, frame rates, plus same for audio.....
happy landing

Non supported camera and old Imovie version question?

I have a multi part question. First, I have an Ion Video camera that appears to not be supported by IMovie. But I also have an old version of IMovie 8.0.6 because I've never used it up until now. When I upload my video's, Iphoto automatically opens and they go into there. I want to be able to use IMovie to edit, add music etc. I've never really manually imported or exported things on my computer and don't know if that is how I can get them over into IMovie or what. I've tried muddling through trying to do that, and apparently I'm doing something wrong. When I hook up my Ion camera directly to my computer the videos won't go directly into IMovie for some reason. I've tried dragging the videos from iPhoto into IMovie and that won't work either. Can someone tell me detailed instructions on how to exactly do this or what I need to do to get videos into IMovie. What if my video camera isn't supported?? I need to learn how to do this fairly quickly. Thank you

So I assume you have the clips in you event browser that were imported from your old digital camera.
And when you play them fullscreen, they look bad.
The point of a DVD, is to play them in a DVD player, usually a TV which is an even larger screen, AND
the problem is that conversion to the DVD will further degrade the quality. It will look worse.
what you need to do i think is to go ahead and make the movie (project) but plan on exporting it to a form that works well on a smaller screen, an iPod might be perfect for that. Or you could play it on your computer screen but shrink the movie (do not play full screen). Most of these will play with QuickTime and you can pull the QT playing screen to be larger and smaller by using the corner thingie in lower right hand corner of the screen.
So, make your project, and you will be exporting it ("Share" menu) as a QT file and playing it as a QT file, not a DVD. If you use Share menu, pick Export Movie and pick the highest resolution it allows and export it to your desk top, you will end up with your movie in a form that you can play with QT.
write back with questions
that is my advice.

OIM Java Compatibility Question

Hi
We have OIM 9.1.0.2 BP07 deployed in Weblogic 10.3.0 in test env. Our java version is JDK 1.6.0_10. All our adapters are compiled in this version. We are using this version of java since 1 year.
Now we are moving to production, and we are not able to get exact java version which we used in test env in internet. My question is if I install java which is certified by weblogic 10.3(i.e 1.6.0_05) then will I face any issues in OIM? is it mandatory to use exact version of java from one env to another?
Thanks

Does not make any difference with sub versions. The version compatibility comes into picture at a higher level like JDK 1.5 or JDK 1.6.
Consider the connector development team, they develop connectors on JDK 1.6 (could be any sub version) and when a customer uses that OOTB connector, they can use any of those sub-versions within JDK 1.6.
Also the fact that if its your custom adapters then you should be aware that what all java functions you are using and I assume it would be the basic ones, so the version difference should not bring in any issues. If its OOTB connector then see the certification matrix as well.
