IMovie help- retrieving video

I imported video to iMovie '09 and the drive I imported it to is dead, I can still see the thumnails and they move when I run the mouse across them.  Although it is telling me the source clip is missing, is there any way I can retrieve the footage?

Is there anyway that I can flip a clip if its been recorded sideways? can I fix it with imovie?
or any other program?
Yes. Select the clip you wish to change, select the "Crop" tool, and then press the "rotate left" or "rotate right" button to rotate you video. However, be advised that this does not change the orientation of your "canvas" -- only the display of the content on your "canvas." To match the canvas to the rotated content, you will have to export your content using QuickTime with a custom dimension setting matching you project aspect ratio but also rotated. If you have QT Pro, to my mind it is simpler to edit your file in the normal manner in iMovie '08 and then just rotate the canvas when finished. In this way you can see the entire canvas while you are editing without having to use the smaller "fit" display option.

  • I imported video from a card into IPhoto and it plays in slow motion.  Any suggestions? Would importing into IMovie help at all?

    Hello
    I am importing video and pics into Iphoto and the video plays in slow motion.  Would importing in Imovie help or does it have something to do with the type of camera or file the video is in?

    It should. So they aren't shown in the Last Import smart album, right? Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

  • How to retrieve videos from a restore backup on ipad

    Hi,
    I need to retrieve videos that I had restore on my ipad to my computer. After I had restore them on my computer, the videos was gone out on the ipad that I restore. So is there away I can retrieve these on my computer I did this through itunes. If the ipad was restore it should be somewhere on my hard drive computer so How can i retrieve them from the bsckup on my computer. I didn't sign up for the icloud i just did a restore on my computer with itunes. I already had an account with itunes for my ipad to sync and restore, the other ipad that I want videos to put back was not synce before so I restore it on my itunes ipad account but i do need these videos back on there ipad. I have to return this ipad back to someone. So need help! I know the videos is restore somewhere. It cant be lost. If its restore and backup it just can't be lost.
    Thanks
    Help me ASAP!

    If you are saying that you hadn't backed up that iPad to your computer's iTunes then you won't have a backup of it with which to try and restore back to the iPad.
    If you did backup the iPad then what app were the videos in ? If they were in the Videos app then they won't be included in a backup anyway, so restoring won't copy them back. If the iPad was never synced to your computer then presumably you won't have those videos in the Movies or TV Shows sections of your iTunes library which you could then sync back to the iPad (?).
    If they were taken with the iPad and were in the Photos app then if you took a backup of that iPad then they should be in that backup - in which case restoring to that backup to the iPad should put them back on the iPad.

  • Retrieving video productions

    hello. purchased ilife '08 & installed it.
    my issue is retrieving videos i've already produced. Process:
    1) imported video from hd camera
    2) dragged and dropped clips into imovie to create project
    3) created "new" projects and imported "new" video clips from hd camera
    4) hard drive overloaded with video files
    5) copied laptop files to external hard drive
    6) scrolled through project library tab on left & clicked on title
    7) movie displays video thumbnails which have all clip editing & titling info/sound files/movie length/etc attached to them
    8) ...but, no actual MOVIE files inside display thumbnails anymore (just superficial preview stills)
    9) yellow warning triangle w/ exclamation mark on each video clip thumbnail
    10) attempted to drag movie files back into project editing area
    11) still "empty thumbnails" w/ no movie
    12) please advise
    questions:
    1) how do i restore these empty windows with the original movie information which used to populate them before i transferred the files to my external?
    2) what is the most efficient way to save movies (going forward) and avoid this from ever happening again?
    thanks.

    Sounds like you have a problem with the drive itself. It's not an FCP problem don't think. There are two software programs to try to see if you can recover the files, both are about $100 each though. One is Disk Warrior, and the other is Data Rescue II. DW will rebuild the directory of the drive, and if that fails, then Data Rescue II will copy to another drive the contents of any drive no matter what the condition is as long as it's spinning... Might just recapture if you can reformat that drive.

  • Importing from Sony DV into iMovie & getting Darker video image

    Importing from Sony DV (Video quality looks great on video LCD screen) into iMovie & getting Darker video image. After I import into iMovie the video image is darker, making in harder to edit. I appreciate any help with understanding how I can improve the video quality when importing.
    Thank you

    Welcome to discussions!
    You may just need to adjust your monitor.

    I use imovie to create videos. When I burn the video to DVD and play it back there is digital breakup in the playback from the DVD. The digital breakup does not show in playback on the computer. I understand there is a file I need to delete and reboot the computer and imovie will rebuild the file in the program. Help!

    My method is to use the DAW in standard recording mode, and set up the camcorder entirely separately.  After recording, I automate the audio mix with fader moves and effects, then export ("bounce to disk") a full-fidelity AIFF, 16-bit 48 kHz stereo file (most videos use 48, not 44.1).  I use iMovie '11 to import the video from the camera, then import the stereo audio file and match it up to the camera audio by dragging it into the iMovie Project.  Make the waveforms visible, it's not too hard to align.
    Then, use iMovie's "Export as Quicktime" feature.  Here, by going through the menus and options, you can control the audio compression (for example, 256k instead of 128, although 128 seems to be enough for YouTube).
    AppleMan1958 posted a YouTube video about controlling iMovie's export options that may help:

  • Sharing iMovie not taking video with it for iDVD

    I have created a movie in iMovie that has video that was recorded and some still shots at the end. When I am in iMovie and review what I have done, the entire movie is there (opening title shot, video & sound, still shots with song from iTunes playing in background). When I share the movie so I can create an iDVD, it seems to be doing everything that I need. Then when I go into iDVD to make a project, the movie that I shared is there and everything is contained in the movie EXCEPT the video part! I have all of the audio that goes with the video, the titles, still shots, etc. What am I do wrong???? Thank you for your help because it is driving me nuts to not be able to figure it out.

    Check the compression format of you source video. If it is Apple Animation or Apple Video, you have found your problem.

  • IMovie 11' issues - video glitches

    I have video footage I shot that plays perfectly within the Qtime player.  (full HD on my Canon camcorder)
    When importing into iMovie 11', the video has severe glitch defects.  any thoughts?

    Hi
    • Was it recorded in p50 or p60 - If so - iMovie can not use it.
    It needs to be converted to i50 resp i60 first.

  • Does iMovie HD retrieve the time/date code for actual recrding date of a c

    Dear Apple Discussions,
    I wish to know if iMovie HD retrieves the original recording time and date of a clip as a part of the time/date code, as do other video editors.
    When click on a clip and select properties, the capture time and date is displayed.
    Matti Haveri posted a response, but hers related to the capture date.
    I wish to know the actual time and date that a clip was recorded by my DV camcorder. Can anyone out the assist me?
    Owen Cobb
    (The Clemmons Kid)

    iMovie does keep the original recording time and date of a clip as a part of the time/date code.
    When click on a clip and select properties, the capture time and date is displayed.
    Really? With my setup I see the original recording date & time.
    But wait, what kind of footage do you have? Originally analog footage converted to DV? THEN the digitizing device usually labels the DV with the digitizing date.

  • Does iMovie recognize iFrame videos?

    Before I select a new camera I want to be sure that my iPad 2  iMovie app  will recognize iFrame videos. Does anyone know the answer to this?
    Thanks

    As it says on the blurb:
    "iMovie helps you turn the HD video you shoot on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch into a masterpiece"
    The iPhone and iPad2 can't shoot I frame video.
    iMovie iOS is not technically made to edit footage from other cameras.
    Some have found work arounds, and some people have fund it works for their camera.
    But that is not supported.
    So you can try, but it might not work with some flavours of I frame video.

  • Need Help, retrieving a combo boxes actual/print/visible value instead of the export value.

    Hello,
    I need help, retrieving a combo boxes actual value, not the export value.
    I have a combo box with multiple options to select from.
    each of those selections has a separate export value, which is in the form of a number, which I use to calculate dates in a separate field.
    However, I have another field that i want to retrieve the, users selected value, which is text, from the combo box instead of the export value.
    Is there an easy way to do this.
    This is what I am currently using. But like I said the results are that I retrieve the export value and not the selected text value.
    event.value = this.getField("_Arugula").valueAsString;
    Thanks

    First get the currentValueIndices property of the combo box and use it with the getItemAt field method to return (what I call) the display value. Something like:
    var f = getField("combo1");
    var display_value = f.getItemAt(f.currentValueIndices, false);
    See the documentation for more information
