Imovie is cropping out words when im exporting it to my ccamera role

I have a project on imovie and i have to export it to the computer but everytime i export it to my camera role certain letters are cut off also it happened with another app. Is there something wrong with my ipad because it happened with a different app or is it imovie and video star ( video star is the other ap i used to export but it got cut off) the pictures are fine its just the words and IM FREAKING OUT IVE TTRIED EVERYTHING SOMEONE PLEAASEEEE HELP ME

PS It won't let me put the footage into a clips to say start playing 4 seconds into the clip rather that start playing at the top of the clip each time. In fact when you try to insert the frame cursor it automatically any mysteriously selects that entire clip.

Imovie shuts down "quits unexpectedly" when I export the movie. How can I fix this?

I created a movie using imovie and need to export it or publish it, but everytime I try it quits unexpectedly before it finishes creating the file. The same happens when I try to play the movie full screen or copy photos from one project to another. Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks

Hi AppleMan,
Thanks for your replies. That's what I was doing prior to creating a new event before importing. I was allowing iMovie to copy the file to my SSD, then once it had finished copying, I would move the file (or event I should say) to my RAID volume by holding command + dragging from within iMovie.
I don't have Final Cut Pro installed. The uncompressed video works a treat in iMovie. Very happy with it so far.
Thanks again for your replies.

Why does my project not turn out right when I export my movie?

I am creating projects for a church doing announcements via video. Once the project is created and my timeline complete, I export the project to my desktop. It often creates strange anomlies duplicating different parts of the project and replacing others. What is the issue here? Creating a Quicktime movie, 1920 X 1080P, 23.76 frames per second, H.264 Codec.

I'd first try exporting in the native exporting format ProRes 422. Personally I've never had this happen to me but I'd try that first.

Photo comes out black when I import from Iphoto to Imovie..

Im trying to make a video from Imovie.
but whenever I drag a photo from Iphoto to the project in Imovie, it comes out black when I play it..
Does anyone has solution for this one??

This is in the previous HD version of iMovie. I just tried it and they come in okay in the new iMovie.

When I paste a Pages document into an email it looks totally different. Even when I export it too Microsoft Word the Word document looks different. Apparently this does not happen if you have Word on your computer. Does anyone have experience?

I need to be able to copy/paste documents into the body of an email and have them look exactly like the original document. I could always do this on my PC using Microsoft Word. And all writers submitting work to agents do this. I just tried it with Apple's Pages and when I pasted it into the body of the email, the document looked totally different . . . no double spacing, no paragraphing etc. Even when I exported the document to Word, I copy/pasted it into an email and it looked totally different. I suspect Apple's version of Word does not perform like the real Word in all circumstances . . . Before I go out and buy Word and put it on my Apple, I would like to know if anyone else has had this issue and how they may have dealt with it. Thanks.

Drag and drop the file into the email, the formatting will be retained when it is opened by the recipient.

Why do my pics/footage look sharp in my iMovie window but when i export the quality of both turn to garbage? Help!!!

The nightmare that is my iMovie. I just proposed to my girlfriend last month and im trying to make a 7 minute movie about it in iMovie.
I shot my pics and video clips on my iPhone 4s. Unfortunately i forgot to turn HD on. Oh well, the footage looks great anyways. So i imported into iMovie and made my project.
In the iMovie window, the footage looks AMAZING and sharp. But when i export, i lose ALL QUALITY. It's unbearable. First i exported using quicktime and saved it to my desktop because i was having difficulty publishing directly to Youtube. When i watch my qucktime proposal clip, the quality is garbage.
Then i decided to buy the latest iMovie in hopes of it being something an update would resolve. Nope. However, now i was able to publish directly to Youtube. I did this and.....no improvement.
So then i got to thinking that maybe my project had a bug in it. So i slapped together a 40 second test movie. I used 3 of the same pictures and 1 video clip. Again, in the iMovie window it looks INCREDIBLE, but once it's exported it turns to rubbish.
It should be noted that when choosing my file size, the last 2 options which are HD were shaded off. I chose "Large" 720x540.
I did another test whereby I published my short 40 second test to Youtube but it allowed me to select the HD sizes. I did this. Result: still garbage resolution.
Im at my witts end. Are there any iMovie ninjas out there that know where im going wrong?
(someone suggested optimizing the video in iMovie. I tried and it tells me that my content cannot be optimized. So that's that.
Im depserate!

Please go to my website where I have posted new instructions on working with DV.
This keeps both interlaced fields from FireWire capture through to a DVD. All the lines means no lost quality when editing DV or Digital8.
It also solves the washed-out color problem.

Hi, I am trying to convert my resume on pages to a word document. When i export the file to to make it a word document ie(resume.doc) it messes up my whole resume on websites and pulls up a bunch of random words. Please help!

What exactly is the problem?
Your description is so muddled I am having trouble working it out.
How does your exported .doc file mess up websites? In fact what does it have to do with websites?
Where, how and what are the random words turning up?

Still frames got cropped when I exported to DV, how do I avoid this?

I'm using iMovie HD 5.0.2. Made a film and used alot of still photos of bands with the name of the band zooming in and then a transition between each. In iMovie the photos were perfect but when I exported to my DV several of the photos were cropped. I made two versions - one in NTSC and one in PAL and it happened to both. I did not choose QT margins either. What can I do to avoid that happening again.

Thanks Sue,
I read it but haven't tried it yet. One thing though, does it matter that I am not using the Ken Burns effect? The cropping happened with that not selected.

My iMovie video is extremely choppy, jumpy, shaky etc when I export it, how do I make it normal?

Hello,
I have been using iMovie for years now, I use a HD camera, but have always imported it using large not full video. But this time I decided to go for full quality, it said playback may be bad. I assumed that when I export it all will be fine, so when ever i slow down clips in iMovie the video would be jumpy, whilst the rest of the video played very smoothly (in iMovie). But when I uploaded it to youtube it came out like this (Skip to 2 minutes in) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpZnrdkpiRM
The whole video is extremly jumpy and shaky, except the slow motion parts! So I was wondering how to get the smoothness back?
Any help would be amazing, I've worked so hard and long on this and for it to be like this its very fustrating!!!
Many thanks
Josh

OK I was assuming that you had imported at 1920x1080, but it appears you imported at 960x540. Both would be fine as long as it is in Apple Intermediate Codec.
However, your footage is in 50P. iMovie does not normally handle 50P (although when you use it in slow motion, you are in essence using it as 25P). Set your camera to 25P and you should have no problem.
However, if you wish to try 50P in iMovie, you may be able to hack it and make it work. Also, if the current footage you are working with is irreplaceable, you can either follow the instructions below, or use an app like QuickTime Pro or MPEG Streamclip to convert it to 25P.
Here is a blog post on how someone used 50P in iMovie, although I have not tried it myself.

Audio drops when movie exported from iMovie into iDVD

Hi there,
I am a problem which I can't seem to fix.
I have created a 7 minute long slideshow in imovie with MP3 files from iTtunes embedded. The video and audio are fine when exported as a MOV file (and within iMovie itself). But when exported into iDVD for burning, the audio drops out completely after 3 and a half minutes.
I've tried updating iMovie, iDVD etc., deleting encoded assets as it says to do here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24043?viewlocale=en_US
to no avail.
Does anyone have any tips? My friend's wedding is on Saturday!
Thanks so much.

Hi
A. I do not use "Share to iDVD" - BUT "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (not HD or other res.) - Works much better.
B. When did it hang ?
a. On Export from iMovie to iDVD
b. When DVD is played on DVD-Player
If last one - then
• What brand of DVD did You use (Yes it matters)
• What type of DVD
• Free Space on Start-Up hard disk - How much
• Burn speed - did You set down this - I do to x2 or x4
Yours Bengt W

Audio goes out of sync when I export to iDvd.

Anybody have any idea what this could be, and how to fix it?
Everything's fine on iMovie, the audio syncs up fine to the video, but in iDvd, the audio seems to have randomly shifted all across the video.
It's not all the audio, some of it is still in place (but with other sound layered over it).

Try exporting the iMovie project as a single full quality dv format quicktime file.
I use iMovie6 HD and this is my usual procedure that works well.
Make the movie in iMovie, will involve many separate clips. When finished, export (share) as a single full quality dv format quick time file. When I have an hours worth of smaller projects, I create a new iMovie project and import all of the quicktime .dv files for each separate short project. I add chapter markers in this project, then share with iDVD. I then burn an hours worth of stuff at best quality and distribute to family and friends.
iDVD seems to work better with iMovie source that has fewer clips.
BTW: Are you having problems with standard def or hi def iMovie source. Another part of my procedure is that I take the raw tapes and download the entire thing into one iMovie project. I don't edit or change the footage at all, just want to archive to DVD for posterity. In this case, I want to share the iMovie project with iDVD directly. This has worked OK for standard def projects, but my first hi def project (1080i) that I tried, the sound was out of sync. To fix this, I had to create a regular DV widescreen iMovie project, and drag all the clips into it from the HD project. It took over an hour for my humble mac mini to convert the files, but I was then able to share with iDVD and the finished DVD worked ok.
Hope this helps.

Hi MyAppleID99,
You may want to check to make sure the clip hasn't been moved back and forth between wide screen and standard aspect ratios; sometimes a combination of letterboxing and pillarboxing can lead to a black frame "windowbox" when playing the final video. You may find the following article helpful:

When I export a AAF file from Protools 9 and Import the file into Logic ProX the drum track is out of sync. I created the drum loop using NI Maschine. Has anyone else seem this??

When I export an AAF file/project from Protools 9 using an external drive and import the AAF into Logice Pro X the drum track does not play correctly. It is out of sync with the rest of the track. I created the drum loop as a plugin using Native Instruments Maschine. Has anyone else had this problem?? Also how would I go about exporting the midi tracks from the Protools session. The midi track does not show when the file is imported to Logic Pro X. The midi data should export with the AAF file correct??

Are you using any plugins in Logic?
In Preferences/Audio under the General tab, how do you have the plug-in-latency compensation set?

When i export a video from iMovie the sound goes distorted?

Yes, I experience this same problem. The grey doesn't show up until after it is uploaded to Youtube...

Imovie - sound in advance only when exported ! impossible to change-

Hi,
Finishing my movie for my vacations, and it is pretty annoying because when I export the video, the sound (from each video) doesn't match anymore with the image… It would be simple
During the preview everything is good and then it becomes wrong…
I don't know what to do !
I've exported it several times, deleting the sequence with problems, putting it back, trying to kill the sound… I'm tired !
Thank you so much for your help !

Hi again,
This link below solved it, just about a bug on imovie 9 if you put slow motion or accelerate on different points than the ones suggested (100%, 200%, 400% etc), if you are not on it it bugs…
Better answer there
