Imovie in media box

help - I made a short iMovie with title, saved it into HD movies folder and when I am making a slide and want to insert this iMovie it doesn't show up in the media box. Of about 8 iMovies I have done - two this has happened too. Any ideas on the problem. I had to export the iMovie into a Quicktime movie onto the desktop and drag it into the slide, it isn't as clear.
Thanks

I have the same problem but on a larger scale. I have 40 imovies that show but the rest are absent. I can see them in my movie file under user name but when I try to insert into the keynote presentation, they are grayed out and I can 't select any of the movies.... this is very frustrating. This presentation is due next week and I told my boss we had to buy keynote b/c it was so much better then powerpoint. PLEASE don't prove me wrong... she wants to switch back to Dell computers which I'm loathe to do... Thanks for any help!

  • Configure apple tv via external cable media box

    I've got an older tv with only 1 hdmi output which is being used now by my cable media box.  I also use a bose receiver for audio.  Can anybody give me any tips on how I need to configure this - ie, if I need to run everything via the bose receiver or do I need to find a different way to connect the tv to the cable media box?  Thanks!

    AppleTv needs an HDMI socket for video so unless the Bose has switcahble HDMI inputs and an output to the single HDMI socket on the TV, you need to consider:
    1 - Swapping the cable each time - free but hassle.
    2 - Connecting cable via another method if possible.
    3 - Getting an HDMI switch or AV amp.

  • Can you set PDF import 'Crop to' box to 'Media Box' as default (PSD)?

    When importing PDFs into Photoshop, can you set the default selection in the Crop To box as Media Box so that it is pre-selected every time you import a PDF?

  • Gnome3 upgrade killed lirc on my media box

    Hi All,
    I have just upgraded my xbmc media box to gnome3 after sorting out my mirror issues, and I am left with lirc not working.
    I have a streamzap usb remote and the 1st thing I noticed is that the kernel module that used to load fine, now fails. The kernel module was called
    "lirc_streamzap", however I notice a kernel module called "streamzap" so loaded that instead.
    The next thing I noticed was that I did not have and /dec/lirc0 etc style devices and the lirc daemon ( lircd ) is running ...
    dmesg gives the following weird errors:

    Anyone have any idea what is going on here, looks like a bug in the kernel driver ..

    More stuff going broken.
    Networkmanager (or maybe nm-applet, I have no idea) has decided that it won't work properly either.
    After a reboot it wasn't able to connect to any wireless network at all (although wired seems fine). If I fired it up from the console (nm-applet --sm-disable) then at first I got these errors when I tried to connect to my WiFi:
    (nm-applet:4094): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_foreach: assertion `hash_table != NULL` failed
    (nm-applet:4096): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_unref: assertion `hash_table != NULL` failed
    That was if I ran nm-applet without sudo (I thought it could be a ck-launch-session problem), but adding sudo didn't help much.
    After about ten minutes however (and it persisted after reboot) the errors above disappeared, and now I get a "provide the password to the network"-window. The sad part is that it drops a message about there being no keyring secrets for my network, even though I had such a secret before the upgrade.
    The even more frustrating part is that even if I manually provide the passphrase for the network, it rejects it as if it was wrong (it fails right after pressing OK).
    If i run nm-applet with sudo (even though I should not have to) I get this (among other less important) error:
    ** (nm-applet:4090): WARNING **: Failed to register as an agent: (32) No session found for uid 0.
    So I guess there's no point in trying to use root to start that application.

  • I shared my imovie in media browser and the project disappeared from my computer...any ideas of where it might be? I've searched everything.

    I created a 30 min video in imovie and then clicked share in media browser....
    I went to go find it and the raw footage is in imovie, but the project is GONE.
    Nowhere to be found, not idvd not imovie, only some crypric .
    I can't even find media browser on my computer even though when I go to
    download media browser, my computer tells me I already have it!!!
    Where oh where has my imovie gone?
    thanks in advance,

    What do you mean by raw footage when you say "I went to go find it and the raw footage is in imovie, but the project is GONE." Can you open your working movie in IMovie Edit Project window? Does it show to the left of the file name in the Project library or Share/Media Browser drop-down box that it has processed the movie?
    my processed movies are listed in the iMovie Projects folder as Movies/iMovie Projects.localized. Using this file, the drag and drop worked for me so I was able to burn the movie on iDVD. However, shared iMovie projects are still not recognized by iDVD. An old project has disappeared and the new one does not appear in iDVD in the Media pane as it should. I checked the preferences, and directed it to look in the iMovies Project folder. I am currently sharing with iTunes and when I open IDVD the medium shared movie is there as should be. Hummm. Why not the large shared movies showing in IDVD?
    You probably have tried several things already but: open your "more info" box for the movie file if you can, and there the extension shows .rcproject and make sure you are checked to open with iMovie.
    Check your iDVD preferences. Make sure it is looking in the right place for your movie files. It automatically checks in "Movie" folder but you can also ADD by directing it to your iMovie Project file specifically. You could go into your Home Library and dump your preferences then reopen IMovie and see if it helps (don't trash your preference until you reopen IMovie and see it is working okay) but this did nothing to help me.
    In iMovie, try removing your movie from Media Browser  and reprocessing it. You might send it to iTunes and see if it shows correctly there.
    I will keep at this as there appears to be a bug with the processing of large movies and IDVD recognizing them as previously. It is just not finding shared movies.

  • Can I display EyeTV's live TV over HDMI-out and be able to see my desktop using screen-sharing on a headless mac-mini used as a media-box?

    Hi,
    I'm thinking of buying a new mac-mini to replace my current one which acts as an iTunes server and records TV programs using eyeTV. I connect using screen-sharing/VNC to be able to do stuff on it (like handbrake etc.)
    I have eyeTV with a satelite receiver and I want to change the setup so that:
    - the new mac-mini continues to work as an iTunes server (and handbrake workhorse)
    - I can use the HDMI output (inc. audio) to show eyeTV's live TV full-screen app
    - I can connect using screen-sharing/VNC to the mac-mini and see my normal desktop to be able to maintain it etc. but this is a headless display (no screen is connected to the display-port).
    - recorded media I'd play through the appleTV2 still + rentals etc. unless anyone knows if eyeTV software can offer up iTunes content? I don't like the eyeTV recordings in general as it seems very slow to me for access when there are lots of recordings and wouldn't be available in other apleTVs in the house AFAIK.
    The main benefit that this gives me is that I'd no longer need a seperate satelite box to watch live TV and can add more eyeTV hardware to get additional TV channels all through the same HUD on the TV for ease of access.
    Does this seem possible in theory & practice (ie are there any gotcha's to consider?)
    - can I force the HDMI output resolution to 1080i as I go via an amp to the TV and the appleTV2 drops to low-res in this configuration so I have had to find a workaround for that.
    - does the mac-mini have IR input that can be programmed?
    - Does eyeTV software remain stable for long periods?
    - Does the HDMI out have any handshake issues that would need a reset of the display (somehow)?
    thanks in advance for any thoughts/contributions
    Lee

    I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
    With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
    The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
    You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
    The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.

  • Why am I getting the message "project could not be prepared because an error occurred. (File already open with write permission)" when trying to share my imovie to media browser?

  • IMovie 11 picture box layouts

    Can you alter, or create your own photo box layouts in iMovie 11. If so how, or where can you do this.
    I can't find that option. I don't want to use the canned, preset photo layouts. Any options available?

    It has been happening to me, but it doesn't change the final video itself, if it is previewed in full screen mode, it will sometimes freeze, but to see the scene that freezes, just play it (in fullscreen mode) and click back a few seconds before it freezes and it should play normally.
    You can also bring the mouse over the clip to preview it or:
    Duplicate the whole project
    2. Export it to Quicktime
    Hope this helps

  • How do I send only the sound track from iMovie to Media browser?

    I need some wild sound for an iMovie 09 project I'm working on in Garageband (working on the soundtrack). I want to take some wild sound from a clip in iMovie and export it to the media browser so that I can use it in the project in Garageband. I detached the audio on the clip in iMovie and tried deleting the video, but it deletes the detached sound as well.
    Any tips, tricks, or solutions on sending just the sound from iMovie to the media browser would be much appreicated.
    thanks

    With the project open, from iMovie's menu select "Share > Export using QuickTime". For the Export option select "Sound to AIFF". Give it a name and select your Save location. As far as I know, you can't save to the Media Browser as this is contained in the project's package contents folder. So save it to a convenient location (such as your Desktop) and navigate to this from GarageBand. It's probably best if you firstly move the file to, say, your Music folder or iTunes before using it in GarageBand. Otherwise, the links may be lost if you later move it from the Desktop (whereas you are less likely to move it from Music or iTunes).

  • Some Aperture stills not appearing in iMovie 11 Media Browser

    Hello all,
    I have been importing images into Aperture for a while now and just realized that iMovie (09 and 11) are not reading some of the stills I have stored in it. I have made sure that all my images are stored in an Aperture managed library and not as reference files. When I start up iMovie it takes a while and scans for new videos but I'm concerned with the stills that are not appearing. I can see the project and album titles appearing in the Media Browser but iMovie states that there are no files inside. I've also told Aperture to always share previews with iLife and iWork. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the forums.
    The fact that you are able to see the Ap library and the project suggests that there maybe no previews available for that project.
    At the top of the Library tab is a little cog, within here is an option for previews, also in the Ap preferences is another option for creating previews, check that these are set correctly.

  • IMovie Projects Media Folder at Root Level Only?

    Is it possible to put the iMovie Projects folder (containing the media) inside of another folder? I have no problem saving it to a different drive, or partition from within iMovie, but if I try to put it into a folder that I keep all of my media, it losses connection to it. I assume there must be a way to do it, because it's possible for it to be contained inside of the User/Movies Folder.

    You can use a symlink to point to a project folder anywhere.

  • New iPhoto Videos stopped appearing in iMovie (and media Browser too)

    I only recently discovered the usefulness of viewing iPhoto videos in iMovie, simplifying the process to editing my videos.
    However recently my videos have stopped appearing. I am using Leopard 10.5.6 and the videos are captured using a Powershot SD750 camera into an AVI format. up until the 12/12 the videos appeared fine, and I am sure that I haven't changed anything. The iPhoto library is stored on a NAS drive. Which does seem to lose connection on a regular basis, causing me to need to choose the library in iPhoto again.
    When I launch iMovie it used to ask about loading the Iphoto videos though I have not seen this dialogue recently.
    I also notive that in the media browser iDVD or web upload these particular videos are not shown.
    I would be grateful for any help...
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Suddenly today, this is working fine, not sure why, as I had rebooted the machine several times to try and resolve...
    If anyine has any ideas as to why, I would appreciate it. When I opened iMovie today I saw the dialogue that had been missing:

    And when it was complete the missing videos were shown.

  • Imovie 4 Media files have disappeared!!

    Hi,
    A student of ours has been using IM4 to do a project, they went to do some work today and all of the files in the media folder are missing. I have hunted high and low but can not find them, has anybody had this happen to them!!!
    They have been using a LACIE external HD to save their work,
    Thanks,

    What Karl writes is very true about the corruption issues with iMovie 4.
    I work at a high school (as well as independently) with many, many projects on iMovie versions 2 through HD (and also FCP). We mainly still use iMovie 2 because of bugs and slowness (lag time after clicking e.g.) with the other versions. When we want to do sound work and put Ken Burns effects on stills, and also to create DVDs then we bump up to 4.
    Today, for the second time this year, all the clips have disappeared from a media folder but this time from a project done in iMovie 2. It was the last project open before shut down yesterday, and it was the first project opened on startup today. Nobody accessed the folders to delete them and neither iMovie or finder trash were used.
    The clips simply disappeared.
    Like I said before, this is the second time this year this has happened and it is very frustrating to us and the students.
    We run into many issues weekly due to the intense usage of the editing programs (such as strange quirks with the Ken Burns effect and random corruption of stills).
    And we have quite a few workarounds built into our workflow to deal with these things, but have found no way to restore the disappearing clips. And outside of copying every folder to another location every day, I can't think of what would really safeguard us for this one. This is a very scary problem to have.
    I'm pretty much editing on FCP five or six hours a day and while it is way, way more stable, there are certain things that crop up there too.
    It would be nice if Apple would start a page on known troubles and fixes that could be accessed easily from the specific product's support home page.

  • Force iMovie's media browser to refresh albums in iPhotos without restart of iMovie

    Is there a way, while in iMovie, to force the media browser to refresh without restarting iMovie?
    Often I will add an image to the album in iPhoto and command tab back to iMovie to use it. Yet, it is not there unless I close out of the app. Is there a way to refresh the media browser?

    iMovie can take a age to load once you have filled it up with a load of video hence why a refresh feature would be great.
    Im regularily importing music into itunes mid edit and having to shut down and restart iMovie which is frustrating as you loose where you are and can sometimes boil a kettle whilst waiting for it.
    I havent investigated a direct import into iMovie yet which might be easier.

  • Saving iMovies in Media Player or QuickTime so that other people can view

    Hi all -
    I have no problem creating iMovies... but I'm the only one that can view them. How do I save them as WMPlayer or Quick Time movies so they can be viewed by other people??

    When you use the default Share Options (Share to iTUnes, Share to Media Gallery, etc. these are quicktime files and anyone can view them (but they will need to install the free Quicktime Player.
    You can also Share/Export Using Quicktime if you need specialized settings or more control over options.
