IMovie export version 6.0.3?

What’s happened to iMovie 6.0.3? Everything was fine until I upgraded to OS 10.4
It seems like every time I upgrade my OS, I run into a whole new set of problems with iMovie. I now find out that I can no longer export by clicking on the time line and play through to camera. Supposedly I can only do it by going to the “share” window. Now I can’t even do that! I select video camera, set the black in and out seconds and then click on the share button. The progress window flashes on then off real fast and a dialogue box says I’ve lost connection with the camera. This happens every time.
Now I’ve been down this path a few times before with the other versions. I’ve gone through the whole litany of solutions. On/off with the camera, Different cables, change cameras. I set them all up on my iMac with version 4.0.1. They check out OK.
I’ve dumped the “plist”, preferences set for “play through to camera”. I’ve run permissions and diskwarrior. Import works fine but not export. David Pogue lists a work around for the timeline export, but that doesn’t work either.
I’ve grown quite fond of iMovie over the years (I’ve been with it since the initial version) and was willing to put up with it’s quirks and marveled at it’s great innovations, but it seems that every time the innovators come up with something new another part suffers some degradation.
If I can’t find a solution I’m going to have to go back to an earlier version, if that’s possible, to get that timeline export back to working. I use timeline export quite often to make back ups and support my iMovie 4.0.1 on my iMac. The camera is the TRV-520 using Hi-8 digital tape.
OK, experts, and you know who are, I’ve followed your advise on many occasions and was not disappointed. Can you tell me what I’m missing or what I’m doing wrong? Where do I go from here?
Any help most appreciated.

Hi Thomas:
I am sorry to hear about your problems.
Do you have the latest QuickTime Version installed?
There is another workaround where you "Share" the
movie as a Full Quality QuickTime File and then
re-import to a new imovie project.
Then share the new to the camera. I know that seems a
bit too much to have to do.
(please don't yell at me...just trying to help :))

Thanks for answering Sue. I'm not going to bite the hand that tries to help me. I've read many of your help suggestions on this forum and you think of things that just don't occur to me.
I have pro QT pro 7.1.3. Also QT player version 7.1.2. Is this a problem? I can't seem to get rid of QT player without affecting QT pro. Before upgrading to 10.4
I had the same QT situation, no problem with export. Can you help with this situation? It will be one possible cause eliminated. If it doesn't help, I'll come back to try something else. Please stay with me on this.

I am trying out Final Cut Pro X and trying desperately to import a project from iMovie 11 (version 9.0.9). There is no export to FCPX in iMovie 11 nor is there import from iMovie in FCPX.

Can someone please help me?
I am trying out Final Cut Pro X on a 30 day trial. So far so good.
I am now trying desperately to import a project from iMovie 11 (version 9.0.9) into FCPX.
I have read multiple posts on this subject and they all recommend File/import/ from iMovie project in FCPX
However there is NO such option under File/import in FCPX - nor is there an option to export to FCPX in iMovie 11
Can anyone please enlighten me.

The current version of FCPX does not work with that version of iMovie. You need version 10.0.3, which allows you to send a project to FCP.

I'm not very techy, so be gentle! i am using midvd app to burn home movies to dvd from iMovie '11 version 9.0.9. It now burns the dvd but there is nothing on the disc. its not recognised by the iMac or any other dvd player.

I was using midvd app(i never had idvd) to make home movies on dvd from imovie '11 version 9.0.9 with no problems before xmas 2013. ive just tried to make a new one today and it wont work.
It seems to burn to the dvd (you can see a mark on the back of the dvd as if it has some info on it) but it wont play on imac (just says blank disc) or any other dvd player.
I have tried reinstalling midvd app and also tried 2 other dvd creator apps and the same thing happens the app says its burning and the external superdrive whirs like its doing something but it wont play.
The only thing i have done since xmas is all the updates to the operationg system and updated imovie (i didnt like the new version so went back to using the previous one)
Any ideas - i am new to all things mac!

When you export your movie from iMovie, are you choosing H.264? That is the only compression method supported by this miDVD. Youc an give this a try first:
Use Share > Export to Quicktime > Movie to Quicktime Movie > choose Options and then make your choices in Settings, etc (you can choose whatever size your video is - mine was 720 HD at that time):
If that does not work, I'd suggest going to their support site as they claim to be able to burn to DVD.... I just checked their site and here is their list of supported file types:

Where can i find a tutorial on how to use iMovie 2013 version?

I've been making some clips anywhere from 6 seconds to 15 seconds long, and I just wanted if there are any good links on how to use iMovie 2013 version. I've looked on youtube but everything on their are old clips or small clips on how to run the program. I'm not an advanced user but i've picked up some of the basics on iMovie. I just want to learn the basics and advance onto the harder setups with iMovie. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

you have a database version 10.2.0.1.0, but SOA needs 10.2.0.2 or higher. Update your database using the latest patchset.

Low quality in iMovie Export

iMovie is a great program. Unfortunately the export quality is not very good. I have tried several codecs (Apple Intermediate Codec, H.264, ++), but the result is drastic quality reduction. Very visible in dark areas and peoples faces were the no. of colors are too low. Filesize is reduced too.
The imported file (from Sony Handycam HD (CX550)) is an apple intermediate codec and the quality is great.
When exporting from iMovie useing Apple Intermediate Codec the quality setting is "medium" with no option to change this.
I also use Final Cut Express which gives much better export quality. But the program is not as intuitive and easy to use so I prefer iMovie.
The solution is to edit the movie in iMovie, export the project to Final Cut (by XML) and export QuickTime movie. With XML export all fancy transmissions are lost, but the picture quality is great. The final movie file is 3-4 times larger.
Anyone with similar experience or a solution?

I have exactly the same issues
'Very visible in dark areas and peoples faces where the no. of colors are too low. Filesize is reduced too.'
In light you won't notice but the dark is just terrible.
Important: It has not to do with interlace. Interlacing is not the problem. It's the dark areas en people faces!
I thought I found the solution.
Wat I did was:
- Export as Quictime Apple Intermediate Codec
- > If I use the Dimensions 'HD 1920 x 1080 16:9" it was terrible
If I use the Dimension '1920 x 1080 HD' it was perfect.
(Also I set the compressor to 'other' and 'interlaced' and 'top field first')
But the strange thing is: When I do it on a small piece of footage. It works perfect. When I do it on a longer project: the footage is crappy again.
I worked a week on different home video stuff and it's not fun to see this decrease of quality.
I didn't missed a toppic where someone found the solution?
I will keep you informed about my investigations...

In aperture 3.4.5, I get unsupported file error when exporting version of photo I've edited using plugins?

In aperture 3.4.5, I get unsupported file error when exporting version of photo I've edited using plugins. I have try reinstalling aperture three times, deleting plists a few times, reinstalling plugins, restarting my MacBook Pro many times. Everything I've tried may fix the problem for a very short while and I can export a few photos before it returns. The problem happens with topaz and photomatrix pro plugins after I edited and try to export version.

I had the same problem with the Photomatix plug-in and this solved it for me. I realised it only happened with Photomatix and not other plug-ins so I checked where the plug-ins were installed. The Photomatix plug-in was installed in
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
where ~ is the home location for the current user account. All the other plug-ins however were installed in
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
which is the location that makes them available to all user accounts on your Mac. Moving the Photomatix plug-in to this location solved the problem for me.
Note that the Library directory under the first location is normally hidden, to get to it hold down the Option (Alt) key and select it from the Finder Go menu.

Poor image quality on exported version

I am trying to export versions of my photos to a folder on my external drive. Every time I do this the resulting jpg is washed out and has poor resolution + a ton of noise. The resulting image is substantially lighter than the images in my aperture window, yet the histogram does not indicate that the images should be that light or washed out.
The images are all starting as RAW images. The export settings are for image quality 12, 300 dpi, sRGB, original jpg. I have onscreen proofing turned on and set to sRGB. My print lab said that the image quality could be 10, but when they looked so horrible I bumped them up.
I had Aperture for a long time before upgrading to Aperture 2 in March. From March to August I did not have any problems, so this is a more recent problem. I have not yet upgraded to Snow Leopard. Please help!!! Thanks!!!

Hi
a. make a DiskImage first and test this with Apple DVD-player.
(File menu and down "Make a DiskImage")
b. I only use streamingDV - no .m4v or like (may be it works - I don't know)
else
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides. Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named.
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !

Problem exporting versions in original size

hi!
with Aperture 3 when exporting versions in original size, I obtain 400xYYY pixels (images constrained to 400x400) showing impossibility to respect the original size.
attempting to solve the problem I have exported selecting limited wider sizes (like <4000x4000) to allow the program to keep the higher resolution. It doesn't work because then all images are forced to be exported in 4000x4000.
anybody has the solution?
thank you. david

Welcome to the forum.
Go to Aperture>Presets>Image Export, select the export preset you are using and make sure that it's on 'original size' and not on 'fit within'.

Exported versions include GPS data?

i spent quite a bit of time troubleshooting an issue before i learned that aperture does not include gps data when exporting versions.
is that really true? if so, i'm fairly flabbergasted. how can a pro product like this not perform such a basic function?
i've read a few threads here and there about ordering of geotagging and importing and such, but none that provide any real type of workaround. my images definitely do contain gps data.
all i want to do is have an exported version contain the image's gps data.
either i'm not understanding something basic about aperture, or the product falls far short in that area.
(aperture 3.1.2 on 10.6.7)

ok, well posting wasn't a complete waste, as in doing so a related post appeared on the right and that answered my question.
so i wasn't understanding something basic ... there is a preference to include location information when exporting. see Preferences > Export

How to tack and export versions.

As the title says I can't figure out a smooth way to export a serie of versions (to be burned or mailed)that exist besides the masters in a project. When I select all the images and ask for "export versions" it doesn't work like that: the masters are exported too Also, when I try to select manualy with a \ they are tacked with a 5 stars rating. I don't understand that either. Could somebody help me out?

There isn't one built in, but copy the following into Script Editor. In Aperture, open all the Stacks and select the last image. Then run the script.
tell application "Aperture" to activate
tell application "System Events"
if UI elements enabled then
tell process "Aperture"
repeat 10 times
keystroke "\" using command down
delay 2
key code 123
delay 1
end repeat
end tell
else
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.universalaccess"
display dialog "UI element scripting is not enabled. Check \"Enable access for assistive devices\""
end tell
end if
end tell

Can't export versions and other issues

Background.
I installed a SSD inplace of my Mac HD. Moved the Mac HD to the superdrive bay.
I have the OSX operating system on the SSD and my home folder on the Mac HD.
I used system preference to point the operating system to the new home folder location.
Everything seemed to be OK untill I started looking deeper.
In Aperture I was able to open all of my libraries. Everyting looked ok. Testing further thought I discovered that I can't create a new library or export versions.
In mail I can't attach files.
I also can't log onto this forum. I know the username and passowrd are correct. Even before this I could never sign in on another device. So I doubt this is related to my self inflicted issues.
I have deleted plist, ran some mainetence items with ONYX, and repaired permissions. No joy from any of those attempts.
I created another user and Apple ID ( that's how I got back on here) .
Using the new user every issue seems to be resolved.
Because things are ok with the second user I am thinking a re-install ( Mtn Lion or Aperture ) may not help. That was going to be my next move.
I could move my home folder back to the startup volume, but the Aperture libraries would be too large to fit, even though the libraries are referenced I seem to have a lot of GB for each library, like 35 GB for 10,000 pictures. My thumbnails are set to very near max quality and the resolution is more than 1920 x 1080. ( I am not sure right now what my 27 " Cinema Display is )
If I were to move the Aperture libraries out of the home folder first, then relocate the home folder back to the SSD, would I be able to access them if they are outside the normal structure?

In Tiger, all mobile accounts synchronize by default. WGM allows you to change the current settings only. To turn off sync, manage both background and periodic sync "Always" and then use a empty table of sync items. Syncing is thus stopped.
To stop syncing an unmanaged mobile account, delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.homeSync.plist and ~/Library/Mirrors/*.
Simutaneous login prevention is really a per-home directory feature so it does not work for mobile accounts. See http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1733887#1733887

Hi Mark
Was just looking for the answer to this exact question and I just found something that worked for me so don't know if it might be of use to you or you might have already solved your problem! Basically when I was in iMovie and I clicked to import movies from the computer into iMovie and I found the clip I wanted to import, there are a few options. I think it asked which Event I wanted to add it to but most importantly it asked me what file size I wanted...I had originally been clicking Large because it advised me to because it reduces the file size...but just on a chance there I selected 'Full - Original' for size and it imported perfectly into iMovie in it's original vertical form!
Hope this helps!

Titles are automatically changing length and shortening - imovie '11 version 9.0.2

Titles are automatically changing length and shortening no matter what I do. I'm using imovie '11 version 9.0.2 I have tried everything and they keep reverting back to random sizes. I have several 4 sec still pictures and I want the titles to match in length so I make them the same size but as soon as I move away or do anything else the revert back to some random size like 2.2s or 1.2s. I don't know why but it is very frustrating.
Thanks in advance.

It's been a month now and I just installed the new update (9.0.4) and it is still doing this. I took a screenshot of what it is doing. I want all of the titles to be the same length as the pictures. They are all 3.9 or so seconds. I drag the titles so they are the same size and then as soon as I do anything else it automatically changes back to this. Any Ideas? I just don't know why it's doing this and it's really bothering me. Please help!
