IMovie HD or 4.0 sections of movie to individual quicktimes

Is it possible with the later versions of iMovie to export sections of a completed movie into individual quicktime movies?
I'm using v3.0 and am wondering if the later versions are capable of this action?
Or, d I need to get Final Cut....

Hi ag:
Welcome to the discussions!
You can select the clip or clips on the Timeline you would like to export in imovie 4 or 5. I don't remember for sure, but i don't think you can in iM3)
*From the File menu, choose Share.
*Check the box labeled Share Selected Clips Only if you want to export only the clips in the timeline. Do not check this box if you want to export all clips in the Timeline.
*Export your clip to Quicktime.
Note: If you do not select any clips in the Timeline, all clips in the Timeline will be exported by default (the Share Selected Clips Only box will be greyed out).

Can't play HD .mov files (in Quicktime, iMovie, or FCP)

Hello,
My Powerbook (bought in 2004) is senile and having various problems (see below for more details), so perhaps this issue can't be fixed without fixing the other stuff (or getting a new computer)... but just curious.
I'm helping a friend with a video project, and he brought over his small Lacie external HD with his footage on it-- recorded with an HD video camera, then imported into iMovie HD, now simply a bunch of .mov files in a folder.
When I try to open of the files with Quicktime Pro, it gives me a white screen and plays the sound, and tells me the "component is missing", and that i can try to find it on the Qcktime site, but I couldn't figure out which Codec to try (and you have to pay for them all?). I also tried updating my Quicktime to 7.4, and the exact same thing happens.
When I try to open them with iMovie 4.0.1, it says "Can't open [this file]; skipping and continuing".
When I try to open them with FCP 4.5 HD, it says "Codec Not Found, you may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card"
Any ideas? Should I try erase-and-install with my whole system, after a backup onto my own external HD? I can't reinstall FCP because my disks are in America (I'm in Hong Kong), but even if it doesn't work with that, is there a way to make it work in iMovie?
Thanks very much--
Samantha
PS- Background on my computer troubles of late-- in December I was having some problems with various things, which led me to try and repair the hard-disk, which didn't work. Some of my questions/conversation are on this thread.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1256737&tstart=0
Then for Christmas I bought DiskWarrior, ran it, but it couldn't repair the disk/replace the system because of some "error". Which makes me think I have some serious Hard-disk problem-- although the hardware seems fine according to SMART. So right now i'm just trying to get through a few of these big projects before trying erase-and-install with my whole system, and if that doesn't work, then probably investing in a new computer. Time to upgrade perhaps.
Was having some weird problems before, so ended up getting DiskWarrior,

Hi-
Referring to this post:
"The AIC codec is installed by iMovie HD and is just what its name implies. Intermediate (temporary conversion from one file format to another).
Your G4 will not be able to play the file past a few frames per second because of the large dimensions and high data rate even if you did find the codec. You'll find editing it using QuickTime or iMovie a frustrating experience because of those facts."
I'm a little confused-- do you mean that the G4 computer is just not strong enough to edit HD files "even if I did find the codec"? I was planning to edit it with Final Cut Pro (have never edited a HD project before), but is my computer not adequate? Let me know if there is any way for me to tackle an HD project with my current laptop-- otherwise I guess I really need to look into a new one.

When I click "about this mac" to check on my storage, I get a number of different sections music, movies, etc. but also I get a section called backups, where can I find the files in this section?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
All the storage in "Backups" is taken up by local snapshots, which are made automatically in all MacBooks, MacBooks Pro and MacBooks Air with OS X Lion or newer and Time Machine turned on.
See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html I recommend you to leave them there, because they will be removed automatically. However, if you want, you can disable or remove them manually if you want, even if there's no reason to do this. Have a look at the link above for more information

Now trying to work with my Mac. I have a USB cable, both ends fit, but iMovie '11 does not recognize it. Is there a driver fix for this?

What kind of Mac to you have? This camera is a tape based DV one that connects best with firewire and I cannot tell if your Mac has firewire. If your mac *does* have firewire, get a camcorder firewire cable and try again.
ETA: Oops, I am pretty sure that all the "desktop iMacs" have firewire, so you should be good to go. You will probably need a cord that goes from FW800 to your camcorder.

Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happen

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Your receipt for all apps, free or otherwise, will say "purchased". The Starbucks app is free. In the app store itself, the apps will clearly state their cost or "Free".

Imovie will not let me load a movie to You Tube error message say wrong user name and password when it is right

imovie will not let me load a movie to You Tube. The error message from imovie says it is the wrong password and user name. I rechecked it and it is right.

It can be tricky sometimes. Go to your youtube account in Safari and try logging in. They might have changed the security requirements. In addition, you might find this software easier to use for uploading video to youtube.

With iMovie 9.0.4 can export to .mov only. Rest of formats: error -50. What can I do? Thx.

Just as a preventative measure try running Disk Utility in the Utilities Folder inside the Applications Folder. Run Repair Disk Permissions on the whole hard drive.
According to this disuccsion group posting on MacRumours.com, Error -50 is a permissions error and repairing permissions may be enough to get you going again:

How do I "mask" or blurr out sections of movie clips saved in windows media format in After Effects

I was informed that I needed to use After Effects to "mask" or blurr out sections of movie clips saved in windows media format.
I have the movie clip in composition, I see the effects and presets drop box on the lower right.
How do I insert the text blocks to mask certain areas of the movie clip?
Thank you,
Preston

There's seriously nothing more to say. Watch some tutorials, read the help, learn the program.

On start up, Imovie states that it cannont play a movie because it is missing a particular file. This happenens every time on start up without selecting a clip to view. It even freezes imovie. Any suggestions?

I've been using iMovie for a while now to make movies out of mostly travel photos and video clips. I try to vary the time for the photos from 1-4 sec. Any ideas out there?

I've been using iMovie for a while now to make movies out of mostly travel photos and video clips. I try to vary the time for the photos from 1-4 sec., although most of them are 1-2 seconds so as to keep it short. A friend of mine who saw my most recent product said that this is too short. Any ideas out there?

I apologize for my confusion on your question. I find that depending on the principal of each photo and my target audience to determine the time frame for each photo. It seems most people get impatient with viewing one photo for more than 1-2 seconds if the photo is not complex.
If there are several things that interests the viewers in any one image, they want to look at it a second or two longer. If the movie of images is a training aid, the images may need to be more than 3 seconds. For intro's, or a trailer for a training movie, no longer than 1-2 seconds.
That was a long answer to say, generally speaking, I find 3 seconds to be an average time length.

I imported a movie from PhotoBooth to IMovie. I want to put the movie on my blog. To do that I have to select Share Media Browser, but it is not highlighted. What should I do?

Is the clip only in your Event Library in iMovie?
You need to create a Project (File > New Project).
Then move the clip into the project, do any edits and you should be able to Share your Project to Media Browser.

Exactly where are you clicking, you need to be specific. For example, are you using the Dock, the Applications folder, Launchpad, etc. to attempt to start teh app? Also IOS 7.1.2 does not run on a Mac, what version of OS X is installed on your computer?

IMovie 6 Changes aspect ratio of QT movies

Using FotoMagico I compiled a movie in 4:3 format (640x480) using stills from iPhoto, exporting the movie as a Quicktime (.mov) file. The QT 7.1.3 player plays it in 4:3 format, and Get Info confirms it is Apple Intermediate Codec, 640x480.
Then, using iMovie 6.0.3, I start a new project as a DV (not widescreen) format and import the 4:3 QT movie into iMovie's timeline. It shows up in widescreen, stretched laterally! The same thing occurs if I start the new iMovie project as an MPEG-4. I have disabled third party plugins from Gee 3 and Flip for Mac, repaired permissions, and verified my drive.
Please help!

Hello William,
I had a similar problem importing files I had converted from PAL to NTSC with JES Deinterlacer. When importing the NTSC files "back" into iMovie they got streched laterally. This happened using iMovie 5 - reverting to iMovie 4 solved the problem!
As an aside: the big drawback here is, that I have to clip the movie into bits that iMovie 4 can digest…
I had hoped that iMovie 6 might have solved this issue, but apparently - no joy?
Regards,
Jörg

Imovie 09 fails to import h.264 .mov file 1280x528

Hi,
When I import a .mov file it seems to process but doesn't actually bring the video into imovie.
Here's the file specs:
.mov
h.264, 1280x528 millions
AAC, 2 channels 44100 Hz
I've also tried with an mp4 (mpeg4 codec) and am mp4 (h.264 codec) of the same clip and none of them import successfully.
They were all converted from a .mkv file using iFunia MKV converter.
Thanks,

Can You get one movie file onto DeskTop
• select it - and press cmd+I [apple-key and I-key]
or - better
• open it with QuickTime-player
(YES it can open many many more Video-Codecs than iMovie can use)
- open Inspector - o press cmd+I [apple-key and I-key]
Now read
• Formatted as (Video-Codec) :
• No. of Frames per second :
could look like this (or about) :
and my QuickTime-player (pro) can convert this to AIC if needed - or at least as StreamingDV as this is the best choice for me and my projects.
