IMovie import all one continuous timeline

When I import my iMoive project into Final Cut Pro, it's one contious timeline and not broken into separate pieces like it is in iMovie.  Some of the still photos in the project I wish to delete and change to updated ones, so how do I do that in Final Cut if they are not separate as they are in iMovie?

I just realized that my iMovie project was the same.  It was not broken into pieces.  Not sure how that happened.   I will find the original file and import it again via Final Cut File >>> import
Thanks,
Ron

  • IMovie imported all iphoto movies......

    And in a noob moment I thought this would be okay. Now as one with any intelligence would imagine (not me obviously) this is a space hog which ate up 4 gb of HD space. I want that space back.
    I am wondering how to delete this iphoto event in imovie without deleting the original videos in iphoto. I peeked around here but only found two mentions of this issue with no real resolution.
    Thanks in advance.

    Go to ~/Movies/iMovie Events. See if you have a folder in there that says "iPhoto Events". Drag it to your desktop for now. Restart iPhoto, and make certain all your movies are there. If so, delete the folder. I suggest a backup before you do this.

  • Importing tape into Imovie 11. How do I import all the clips as one long clip?

    How do I import all the clips as one long clip? I have 45 min of footage and I want it as one long take I can edit in Final Cut ProX. When I import, all the clips are split up when the scene cuts. I just want the 45 min in one long video.

    iMovie will import the tape as if it is direct from the camera. It will sense the scene breaks and put all the clips in chronological order.
    If you want to import it as one long clip, I suggest you load the tape into the app that you edited the tape with. Then export it out as a QuickTime movie in the DV codec. You can import this MOV file into FCPX or iMovie.

  • Import all your picture files into iMovie

    How do you import all your picture files into imovie all at one instead of one at a time?

    Put them into a folder then drag the folder to the timeline in a project. It's best to use iPhoto for this, as it's easily accessible from the Photo Browser in iMovie.
    In iPhoto, create an album containing all the photos you wish to import to iMovie. The iPhoto album can then be dragged from iMovie's Photo Browser. It's best to place the photos in the desired order in the iPhoto album before dragging into the iMovie project.
    By "pictures" I'm assuming that you mean photos (or stills) - not video clips.

  • Importing m2t into iMovie with only one conversion

    Ok, so m2t files have been beaten to death in these forums, but I'm still puzzled. Here's my situation. I have a Canon HV20 and only replay the tape once to avoid wear and save time (really?). So I capture to m2ts. Fine. Now I'd like to be able to use these in iMovie with only one conversion. I can convert the stream to a framed (QT) format like AIC. But I'd like to do this just once. Meaning, when I convert clip.m2t to clip.mov I'd like to drag this to iMovie and have iMovie just "copy" an not import/convert. Can I convert to a format where I can just drag to the media folder in the given iMovie project?
    For those watching. My toolchain is
    1. rewind the tape
    2. capture with HDVsplit (win), DVHScap (mac), or whatever
    3. split/clip the m2t files with HDVsplit (win) or MPEGstremclip (mac/win), or HDVxDV (mac) and leave as m2t
    4. convert the m2t clips I want in my movie to QT+AIC
    5. import these QT+AIC .mov clips into iMovie
    6. edit
    I'd like to optimize 4 and 5. (And by the way, someone should port HDVsplit to mac.)
    Thanks,
    WL

    MPEG Streamclip allows you to export as QuickTime with Apple Intermediate Codec (also QT Player can do this but I prefer MPEG Streamclip for these tasks). I think you should set the resolution to 1440x1080 because that's what iMovie uses internally for 1080i.
    I did a quick test and iMovie seems to accept such AIC-encoded .mov files directly to its Media folder. But run some tests through your complete workflow before trusting this will work!
    Ok this was helpful. If I take 1440x1080 QT/AIC output from MPEGstreamclip, I can efficiently copy the file in the project. Works like a charm and looks great in iMovie. (I can also now take the 1920x1080 QT/AIC output from streamclip and do the same; not sure what change there. I did a test on a 1:24 length mpeg-2 stream. The 1440x1080 with and without deinterlacing were 700MB and 600MB respectively, while the 1920x1080 is at 800MB. So it makes sense to do 1440x1080 since iMovie handles it fine.)
    In summary (hope this helps someone), here's what I do:
    0a. Macbook with iMovie HD
    0b. LaCie macos formated external drive drive (hfs+)
    0c. Canon HV20 filmed at 1080i (not sure what do with the 24p cinemode)
    1. use DVHScap (mac) to capture the stream from the HV20. This gives file.m2t, for example. This can be viewed with VLC, for example. (on windows use HDVsplit to capture). Copy the m2t file to the external drive.
    2. now use MPEGstreamclip to disect the m2t file. use the 'i' and 'o' to mark inputs and outputs and then "save as". Save this as file_clip.ts for example. The .ts is the same as an .m2t file, so save it as either.
    3. now you should have 1 or more file_clip.ts depending on how many times you do step 1 and 2.
    4. use MPEGstreamclip in batch mode to take the file_clip.ts or m2t files and "export to Quicktime". Select Apple Intermediate Codec as the type compression type. Yank the quality up to 100%. Select 1400x1080 (4:3) as the frame size and click "deinterlace video" (my opinion on the deinterlacing). Save the movie on the external drive as file_clip.mov.
    5. now start a new iMovie HD project and save the project to the external drive. Quit iMovie. open-apple-click on the myproject.iMovieProject to "show package contents". After this you can move your file_clip.mov files to the media directory under this package. A move is best since copy does an actual copy. Move just moves a pointer.
    6. start up iMovie and view the trash can when prompted ("Some stray files were found in the project...."). Now drag the trash files to the clips area in iMovie.
    7. now edit.
    This is a nice approach for a couple of reasons. The .m2t files are great storage formats. The conversion from mpeg-2 stream (m2t) to a framed format like QT+AIC (mov) is done +only once+. And the quality is maintained. Also, I can do this all to an external harddrive, which is nice since I'm limited on my macbook.
    I don't have HD gear. Currently I archive SD DV to tape and to big harddisks. In the future I would like to continue to archive HD content in its native compressed (non-AIC) form. Obviously this works via DVHScap, right?
    Yes. The m2t files are a great archival format. The 1:25 long clip above was only 275MB while the framed formats were 3 times that. The stream saves differences so it's a lot more efficient (but you don't have frames for editing). VLC is also quick as quick for viewing these. DVHScap never drops any packets (mpeg-2) when capture (for me at least). HDVsplit is also great, but only for windows. HDVxDX also worked like a charm.
    Well anyway, thanks for the chatter.

  • In imovie 09 can you make one continuous clip

    in imovie 09 can you make one continuous clip
    canu u download video in HDV to imovie 06 from a    SONY HDR-Fx 7 video camera as one clip

    No. iMovie 09 (and 11) is designed to import movies from camcorders. Every time it detects a start/stop it will make a different clip. They will be in chronlogical order, rather than edited order.
    If you still have iMovie 06, you can load the tape there as one continuous clip. Then EXPORT USING QUICKTIME choosing HDV as your codec. This will produce an MOV file that iMovie 09 or 11 can read, and which will be in the edited order.

  • IMovie - Start fresh and import all projects and events from scratch

    I am using iMovie 10.0.6 on Yosemite.
    I have 3 Libraries that stretch back many years.  When I open iMovie, it loads the Projects and says there are 42, but only shows about 8.  The others are missing.  The event folders show up but the event data is missing.
    Basically I want to start over.  I want ONE clean library and I want to re-import all of my raw event data and the projects that I created using that event data.
    How on earth does one do this?

    If you have  iMovie Projects and imovie Events folders in <user name> / Movies, these are from iMovie 9, so I infer that you have transferred them from an old machine and upgraded them to imovie 10.   
    If this is correct you should still have your projects and events.  iMovie 10 stores everything in packages with the extension .imovielibrary.  If this has become corrupt you should be able to upgrade them again (they will automatically go into a new library).  You  will find an empty file with a name something like "updated to iMovie 10" in the events and projects folders.  These need to be trashed in order to allow them to be upgraded afreash.

  • I accidentally imported all media files on my iMac into iMovie.

    I accidentally imported all media files on my iMac into iMovie. Now I have over 10,000 "clips" in a single event library. It is massive and causing performance issues. Some are photos, some are movies, some are music/voice memos and many are stock computer icons/images. If I delete them from iMove (via move to trash) via select all, am I deleting them from iMovie or from my iMac?

    No problem!  Also, a quick bit of information.  If you did not already know this, when you empty the trash, it does not actually delete your files.  It just allows the space that those files were taking up to be overwritten.  That's why you can go to your Time Machine and recover these files.  So, your computer will not improve in the speed department that much after deletion.  I'm pretty sure there's a way to completely wipe files off of your computer, therefore actually regenerating space, however I do not know how to get through that process.  You may want to ask this in a new separate discussion.  Also, please respond to my reply (with a link) right after your add the conversation if you want to create the thread, because I'd like to know too, based on the fact that I cleared 259.82GB off of my computer within the last few months in one sitting.

  • I've been importing all my old CDs into itunes but one of them which was unknown imported as single tracks. How can I combine these into one album

    I've been importing all my old CDs into itunes but one of them which came up as unknown has imported as single tracks named track 1, track 2 etc. It wasn't an obscure CD (Paul Carrack - the journey so far) but not one that's available in the itunes store. I've manually changed the track names but they all appear as single tracks in the "Albums" section. Is there a way to put them all into an album to show up as an album with the other albums. Other "unknown" CDs I imported have imported with the correct track names but just don't have the album artwork so I don't understand why this one is behaving totally different?

    If you select the tracks all together in iTunes/ Songs then go to File/Get info you will be asked "Are you sure you want to edit information for multiple items?" Go ahead and you can make them into an album, putting in the artist name, etc.

  • How do you import multiple iMovie projects into one iDVD project?

    Hi.
    I'm 17, and am trying to create a DVD of when the family went on a cruise. For different places/days, I've created different iMovie projects.
    But, when I want to export to iDVD, it only lets me put one iMovie project into one iDVD project?
    I've tried dragging the actual iMovie project files into iDVD but that doesn't work.
    I know I could export to QuickTime and then drag it into iDVD, but it seems exporting just to iDVD is much quicker, and the quality is better.
    Anyone know how I can do this?
    cheers
    +P.S. If it helps, it's iMovie '11 with iDVD '09.+

    That is not true. You can use them all in one DVD. I have just created my first DVD which has a trailer, a movie with chapters and several different slide shows.
    All you have to do is save each project to Media Browser. (Choose Share in toolbar). Open iDVD and choose your theme or no theme. On the right will be all your options such as audio, media photo's etc. Choose your various video's/projects etc and just drag and drop which ones you want to the page and they will automatically put themselves there with the given name of each video/project.

    LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are only accessible as long as the thumb drive is inserted.

    Sounds like you may need to repair the Disk Permissions on your drive where your images are stored.

    How can i import my e-mail contacts? i don´t want to type one at a time.  Is there a way to import all at once?

    Sync your old address book with the one on the iPod.  You may have to import them into an intermediate address book like Google contacts since that can be done by importing a file you should be able to export for your address book.  Without know your old address book that is all I can say.

  • How do i migrate all my imovie projects from one computer to another

    how do i migrate all my imovie projects from one computer to another

    You need to attach the computers to one another say with a firewire cable? Or use an external hard drive to copy the Events/Projects and then move the hard drive to the other computer. Are you able to do either one of these first?

  • Question about import all tables except one

    I have exported all tables for a user. While importing I want to import all tables except one table whose name I know. How do I do this? Example: If I have tables: Employee, address, salary that I have exported. While importing I want to import only Employee and address. How do I do this. The database I have exported contains over 20 tables.

    I don't think it is possible at all, you just need to explicitly specify all the tables.
    If you really don't want to include the single table, then you can import all the tables and drop the desired one.

  • I went to import special characters in imovie '11 and now the character window comes up on every application, yet won't open in iMovie at all, it flashes across every screen on each key/mouse click

    I went to import special characters in imovie '11 and now the character window comes up on every application, yet won't open in iMovie at all, it flashes across every screen on each key/mouse click, stops the other software from running, and won't shut off, ever.

    Try trashing the .plist in Home/Library/Preferences which has CharacterPalette in its name.
