Imovie import

After installing OS X Mavericks and iMovie 10, I've encountered a complication with video importing.  During import from my JVC Everio camera, the video segment gets clipped into .9 second segments that cut out in between each one.  Anyone else having this issue?  After looking at camera compatibility, I don't see my camera on the list since the upgrade to iMovie 10.  Is it that simple?  Am I screwed?

I have this problem also

    Use iMovie > Help on your Mac or here -> http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2153
    Treat the "sd card on the desktop" as a connected hard disk.

  • Deleted video shows up in the iMovie import window

    Hello,
    I recorded a video with my iphone 5 which I have since deleted. Every time I connect my iPhone to my Mac and open iMovie import window, the deleted video shows up. How can I permanently delete the video so, that it will be no longer visible in the iMovie iMoore window nor any other place?
    Thanks in advance

    I have noticed the exact same issue. I have an iPhone 5s running iOS 8 (latest update). There are about 8 videos I've made and subsequently deleted over the last nine months. They do not appear in Photos. They are not offered as downloadable when connected to the iMac with iPhoto running. However, if I connect the phone to the iMac with the iMovie application open (on the iMac, running Yosemite), then iMovie offers to import all of these supposedly deleted videos! I just want to reclaim whatever space is being taken up by these.
    I have tried resetting the iPhone to factory settings, but when it syncs with iTunes and restores from backup, the videos return. How do I delete these videos?! Anyone?

  • No Video Images Appear In iMovie Import Window

    My Vixia hv 30 mini DV is connected and recognized, and when I choose to import video manually, and hit the iMovie Import button, the video plays on the camera screen but not in the iMovie import window on my iMac. Nor does the counter move, although a large message in the iMovie window says "importing". The camera's counter in the upper right hand corner of the window counts off, but not the counter next to the controls at the bottom of the window. A file name is created in the Event Library, but there is nothing in the file when I click it.
    I have tried importing segments of all sizes and lengths to see if there was an issue there but no video appears on the iMovie screen, and there is no message that thumbnails are being created.
    I have watched tutorials online to see if I am missing something but I have found no answers. I was able to import a one-minute segment automatically a few days ago when I first got the camera, but now Automatic does not work. It begins to import, with no images appearing in the iMovie import window and no movement in the counter, then after a few seconds the "Importing" message changes to "Stopped"
    In my 'Save To" window, it says I have "5.7GB free/25 min.)" on my Mac's HD.

    I found that this was due to my tape having been recorded on an older DV camcorder rather than an HDV. You'd think either iMovie or the Canon Vixia would simply tell you that in plain language, rather than give you the kind of cryptic meaningless message that the camera displays.
    If you have this problem, go into the camera menu and make sure the format —DV or HDV— matches the content on your tape.

  • IMovie imports 4:3 as 16:9

    Anyone had this problem? I am importing non-HD DV from a camcorder shot in a 4:3 aspect ratio. iMovie imports as 16:9 so it looks stretched. Any ideas how that may be fixed?

    yes, it is not an answer, just another aspect of this problem which I encountered.
    I am using iDive to import and archive my clips. The ones I mentioned were all within one batch that I imported without interruption from one tape. The files were then imported as a file import into '08.
    Maybe it is a flag problem but, as said, some were handled correctly, others not.
    I tried these files with the following other programs too, which processed them in the correct ratio:
    iDive
    Quicktime
    iMovie 06
    Norrkroos Movie
    FCE
    This is why I tend to believe, it may be more than just a plan settings problem, thus my addition.

    '''''"... I have about 20 bookmark folders and about 100 bookmarks altogether. " '''''
    Firefox doesn't store bookmarks like that, sound like a Windows / IE favorites scheme used for '''''url''''' files and folders which isn't directly compatible with the way Firefox does things. Firefox uses a '''json''' file for bookmark backups, a '''bookmarks.html''' for import and export is bookmarks, and stores the users bookmarks in the '''places.sqlite''' file, along with browsing history.
    Put those folders and bookmarks in the '''\user\Favorites\''' folder so they are in IE and export your IE Favorites in HTML format, so you can import them into Firefox.
    In IE:
    File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file
    ''then in Firefox:'' <br />

  • Why doesn't iMovie import video directly from the iPhone 3GS

    We here quite frequently that Apple offers a better overall experience than the competition because they make the whole widget... I was SHOCKED to discover that iMovie will NOT recognize my iPhone 3GS... Doesn't Apple make both products and their OS's (Yes, I know they make both)?
    iMovie imports video from my FLip HD just fine... This is very disappointing... And yes, I figured out how to do it... Import it to iPhoto, export it as a .mov and import it to iMovie... This is crazy, Apple!

    What I find shocking is that if you open iMovie and select "Import from Camera..." the iPhone doesn't show up.
    For further clarification, I have turned off the option to open iPhoto or Image Capture automatically when a camera is attached. I don't that option to import photos from my camera because they are automatically imported to my computer via the eye-fi card in my camera.
    I do expect that when I open iMovie manually and select to "Import from Camera..." that the iPhone will be recognized as a camera. My FLip mino HD is recognized and it is awkward to then have to open iPhoto, import the movies, export the movies and then import them to iMovie to modify them and move them to my Apple TV.
    I have provided Apple my Feedback on both their iPhone and iMovie sites.

  • IMovie imports only for one minute

    When I was using iMovie 6.x I was able to transfer signal from my VCR or TV through an analog to digital converter (Formac DV) and burn a functional DVD. Since upgrading to iMovie 7.1 I cannot not.
    I get a signal that iMovie imports but importing stops after 1 minute and I get a message telling me importing has stopped and that "the tape has been rewound". There is only a one minute recording. I can import movies (either .mov or Quicktime movies from my harddrive.) In addition, during this one minute import I do not see the signal being recorded. If I record from iSight everything works as it should; I can record as long as I wish and I can monitor the signal throughout the recording.
    I called Apple and after three calls I got bumped to a higher level and I was lead through an archive an install of 10.5, upgrade to 10.5.2, and re installation, of iLife 08. However, in order to get back to the higher level I must leave a message and get a return call within 2 days. Apple had suggested as the next step to clone and reformat my drive which I would do but I think I'd like to know what the problem is. This is a new problem as iMovie 6.x did not have a problem with importing.
    I am going to test the incoming signal by hooking up a digital camera to determine if the signal from the Formac is somehow the problem. I am not sure since the signal from iSight is recognized by iMovie as are the .mov and Quicktime movies from my harddrive. They are however, internal signals.
    Any thoughts?
    Martin

    I get a signal that iMovie imports but importing stops after 1 minute and I get a message telling me importing has stopped and that "the tape has been rewound".
    Sounds like you are trying to use the auto mode here in which the application is trying to use a master-slave protocol. Try switching to manual and make sure your tape player is running. If already in manual and it thinks it has an active protocol, then I would try an alternate capture work flow such as iMovie '06 or Vidi (free) to save the files to your desired destination hard drive and then simply "drop import" or use the "file move" option to bring them into iMovie '08. If either or both of these work, then I would assume the problem in in the application mistakenly trying to exert control over a "dumb" device.

  • Why does iMovie import vobs missing audio?

    Hello
    I did import vobs in iMovie 11 from a personal dvd back up (a personal copy made from a VHS into a standard dvd video) in order to make some adjustments, but, surpise, no audio at all!. Checked single vobs and the whole dvd and everything works fine both on the mac and a home dvd player. I tried also to rename .vob in .mpeg, iMovie imports each without any problem, but it's always silent.
    Any hint?
    Thanks, Gianfranco

    If you have not already done so, update to the latest (just released) version 9.0.4 - this update includes fixes for saving audio adjustments. Hopefully, it will fix your problem!

  • Can iMOVie import MP4 movies?

    Can iMOVIE import MP4 formatted movies/

    Interesting,
    Are you sure your using iMovie10 ?
    Just tested (to be absolutely sure) a couple of clips.
    Input DV-tape exports as .mp4 (SD and 540P quality)
    Input .mp4 exports as .mp4 in HD and .mp4 in SD
    Input AVCHD exports as .mp4 as well HD as SD.
    iMovie 9 (iLife 11) exports default  in .mov (or .m4v when exported to iTunes)

    Then new version of IMovie imported nearly all of my video and then  suddenly closed.  Now it won't recognize the video that it stil hasn't  imported?  I took the sd card out of the canon camcorder but still won't  recognize or import it.  Is there a cache that needs cleared?

    Did you get any joy with answering this?
    My first thought was that maybe when you imported you chose to leave the files  in place rather than copy then to the iMovie library..but I can't see where that option is now.
    I too have created a short movie from load f clips..but can't export or share either..the 'Share 'menu is empty..you go to it and no sub menu appears.

  • How do I get QT 6.5.2 image adjustments to be retained on iMovie import

    Hi,
    I produced a DVD last year using clips from my digital camera (which always need tint, contrast, brightness, and color adjustments), Quicktime, and iMovie. I sat down this weekend to do the same thing, but discovered, much to my discomfiture, that the image adjustment features are missing in Quicktime Pro 7 (on my Powerbook G4 running Mac OS 10.3.9). Luckily, I'd kept quicktime 6.5.2 because I'd heard that the upgrade would eliminate the features. However when I import a 6.5.2-adjusted clip into iMovie, the image adjustments aren't retained! Do I have to downgrade iMovie too or what? How do I get my image adjustments to stick?
    I've tried making the same adjustments using iMovie, but they don't provide nearly the amount of fine control as in quicktime 6.5.2 and I just end up making it look worse no matter how much I fiddle with it. I event tried counting how many pixels I'm moving the slider over to match the quicktime adjustments and I just can't reproduce the image quality.
    Is there a way I can get this to work without having to buy anything (which I find highly questionable since I used to be able to do this before) and if I MUST buy something, how will I know if I need to buy a new graphics card (as is mentioned on one of the support FAQs)?
    Rob

    That's all well and good, but it's so much more time consuming. I've been trying, unsuccessful, for hours to get the image just right in this one clip using the method you suggest - a process which took me under a minute using the video controls in 6.5.2 - and I can't seem to get it right. I know that iMovie used to respect the adjustments made in the video controls because I have DVDs to prove it that I made a year ago. Using the filter process you suggested has proven to be too time consuming for me. These clips need a lot of adjusting and I often go back and forth between the adjustments to tweak them based on the new image quality. Sure filters give me more options, but it just takes way too long and all I can seem to do is make it worse. I want it to work the way it used to, and as far as I can tell, there are two solutions: downgrade something or upgrade the OS and possibly install a video card. Does anyone know if a downgrade of just iMovie will work or do I need to reinstall my OS (and not update) to restore the previous abilities? Or, if I upgrade the OS, how will I know if I need the aforementioned graphics card? If I upgrade, will it work the way it used to and import into iMove with the image adjustments or will it not work that way anymore at all?
    Thanks,
    Rob

  • ILife '08 iMovie import question

    About 2 years ago I got a Sony DCR-SR45 digital hybrid camcorder. At the time, I was using iLife '06 and iMovie would not import the video files from the camcorder. I periodically copied the video files from the camcorder to a folder on my G5 iMac 2.1 gHz via USB and then deleted the files from the camcorder to make room for more video. Now I have iLife '08, and I have discovered that all the video I recently took on vacation, whether on the camcorder HDD or the camcorder Memory Stick, is recognized and downloadable via iMovie, and I have successfully imported all of it into iMovie. However, iMovie will not accept the video files that are saved to a folder on my iMac. I tried clearing the HDD on the camcorder, transferring the video files from the iMac back to the camcorder, but iMovie will still not accept them. The file names show up, but they are greyed out and not selectable for import. I even tried importing these video files into iPhoto first, but after spending a lot of time importing, each file was listed as not imported due to incompatible file format. Any ideas about what I can do? Oh, also, MPEG Streamclip says I need Apple Quicktime MPEG playback component in order to deal with the files, and VLC will play the video clips in the iMac folder.

    Bump.

  • IMovies import from camcorder

    Camcorder correctly connected but the program does not start to import into imovies tried for hours and do not understand why. Same Camera had been used before successfully and I have changed nothing in the settings. it asks for event name but thats it. Sometimes I cannot get the camera to be recognised.

    I have solved it the imovie 11 does not recognise these old cameras so I used Imovie 9 and can now carry on with tranfering old films and burn DVDs. to answer your question I use a Firewire and I found IMOVIE 9 was still on my MAC so solved the problem thanks for trying to help, I had a job to get back to you and only just now found your email.

  • IMovie Importing Photos Improperly -- Mixing Thumbnail/Footage

    I have iMovie 9 -- a bit old, I know, but that's what the church has for me to work with. I am trying to create a slideshow using images pulled from a Keynote presentation, but every time I import specific images -- a little over half of what I have to use -- iMovie screws them up. It will either use the right thumbnail and play the wrong image or have the wrong thumbnail and play the right image. It typically happens to two or three in a row, and it is consistent which ones do which with which other images/thumbnails. *deep breath* I have tried renaming the images, deleting the cache, and deleting every single folder involved with iMovie that I can access under my profile. Every time I start over, the same problem happens. WHAT IS GOING ON?!
    P.S. And no, I don't want to just use keynote for my slideshow. We are using ProPresenter for other parts of the service and we want to cut out keynote for several reasons. It won't import straight to ProPresenter (3), but we want movement, so I am trying to make it into a movie.

    I keep forgetting details. There was one other symptom: Several images became mere copies of another file when I imported the list. They had the same thumbnail and actual display of another file. When I opened the location in Finder, it showed the proper image, but it made no difference in iMovie.
