IMovie on the iPhone

I have been trying to use iMovie on my iPhone 4, however many of my videos that I have on my iPhone (via iPhoto) are not available to be imported into to iMovie. I am wondering if this is based on a specific codec or the fact that these were not shot on my iPhone.
All the videos were encoded using Sorenson Squeeze 6.0 using various different codecs including Sorenson MPEG-4 Pro, Sorenson H.264, Main Concepts H.264. The bitrates and resolution are all within an acceptable range especially given the capabilities of the iPhone 4, I am working with a series of videos (about 40 of them) all encoded at 448x336 (4X3) with a bitrate of 360kbps. Yet when I go into iMovie to import a video, it does not show up in the list of videos. I cannot figure out for the life of me how to use any videos that were not recorded by my iphone, in iMovie on my iPhone.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it true that if the iPhone didnt record it that I cannot use it in iMovie? None of these videos have DRMs they are all videos I personally recorded using devices other than my iPhone. Any help that someone can offer would be wonderful! Thanks

You can't disable it, however if the start and end positions are the same, then effectively no Ken Burns is applied. Hope that makes sense!

    When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

    When you move or copy the compound clips with their events into an external drive all the events should be there. Not clear on why you want to move them into a single event. You can drag and drop from one event to another.
    Why are you using compound clips? You can simply copy the project from each machine with used media onto the external drive and that should do it.

    Where has the "recordings" options gone in imovie for the iphone? It used to be listed under the audio tab in the import icon. At one point you could add audio to a project from the Voice Memo app.

    there is NO "reload" button under "customize"!

  • How to add audio to iMovie on the iphone?

    The speak recorder on the iphone is ok to record audio. But how do I get those recordings into imovie on iphone? Its the latest imovie (2.0?) on iOS7 on iphone 5.
    Thanks for any help
    Erland

    Thanks for looking into this. I am probably unclear here...
    What I hope to do is to get audio recording fra the that speach recorder app that comes with iOS. The recordings can only be exported through mail, messages and dropped with Airdrop.
    Hmm maybe with itunes in some way.
    I would like to use speach recorder and then import that audio into imovie, not the audio effects that are with imovie.

  • How do i convert my imovie trailer for the iphone 4 to other file formats?

    I'm due to make a comical presentation in 2 days, and i downloaded iMovie for the iphone 4, and would like to use the trailers created as part of the presentation.
    I'm on windows xp, and have sent the file to itunes, gone into the file sharing part, added it, saved it, and even synched the flipping thing and yet it wont even play in itunes??? thats driving me mad as it is??
    Not really bothered about that....My real main concern is wanting to play the movie file in an AVI/MOV/MP4 etc format, and have even downloaded various video conversion packages to try an convert and playback my results, but once again, and a few hours wasted, I find myself facing another brick wall.
    Is it even possible to playback the imovie trailers created in a more generic video format for others to see??
    I really do hope so!!!!
    If not, then apple, i want my £2.99 (about $5.50) back, coz that would be as pointless as a paper ashtray.
    I hope ive not had my pants pulled down and wasted my money an time on this.
    Please someone help me, or put me out of my misery.

    Actually, scrap that one girls. Ive figured it out. For those who have a similar prob, just make sure you have quicktime installed. plug ur iphone into ur pc as normal, and choose the camera an scanner options that appears auto on ur window. select the trailer u wish after the usual wizard talk through and then "ok" or "apply" or whatever the button is called. select your destination folder, and walaa. its all done, and converted into .MOV format.
    NOTE:  When saving ur trailer on ur phone, and it asks what file size, chose the Medium one, or it takes ages to open.....unless ur comp is super fast, and not like my craptop.

  • Questions about slow motion recording on the iPhone 6 Plus

    I took a couple of slo mo videos and they look cool, but there are a few things I don't understand.
    The frame rate I took them at is 240 fps.
    In an online article, I read the slow down speed is just 1/4th. But if the regular frame rate is 30 fps isn't the slow down 1/8th? I think that is true, because a video in the "recent" album says "8 seconds" but actually plays back at 64 seconds, which is 1/8th speed. And it's 64 seconds long after I upload it to YouTube.
    One question is whether there is an easy way to see the actual playback time other than doing the math?
    Another question is I understand there is supposed to be some way of editing the videos so you can adjust which parts are slowed down and which parts aren't. I can see how to trim, and I see the narrowly spaced bars (normal speed) and widely spaced bars (slow speed) but I don't see any way of adjusting those.
    Any hints about this? Or other slo mo recording any editing hints?
    Thanks,
    doug

    End result after talking with AppleCare.
    1. Yes, if you record at 240 fps it is 1/8th speed.
    2. There is no way in either Photos or iMovie on the iPhone to see the playback time! Just the time it took to record the video.
    Doesn't it seem that people would want to know the playback time of a video?
    I have submitted feedback.
    I figured out how to edit the spacing of the real-time vs slo-mo portions. So that's no problem. But there is no way of knowing what the playback time is other than editing it on your computer or uploading it to YouTube or some place like that and see the result. Or manually timing it I guess.

  • Is it possible to use the Apple wireless keyboard with the iPhone 6? Will the Magic Mouse work with iMovie on iPhone6 Plus?

    iPhone 6 page says that iMovie is a (free) application available for iPhone 6. When I use it on the desktop I need a mouse. Should I expect all controls to be touch-sensitive, or is it possible to use the wireless Magic Mouse? Similarly, if I want to type an email or a long document, is it possible to use the Mac wireless keyboard to enter text? With the iPhone 6 Plus taking over for laptops (phablet), it seems to me that input tools are relevant. Maybe what I'm asking is whether the iPhone6 (OS8) has drivers for these devices. Please advise.

    Apps that are designed for iOS devices such as the iOS version of iMovie are intended to be used entirely by touch. It's worth noting that iMovie for iOS is not absolutely identical to iMovie for Mac OS.

  • How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

    How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

    I haven't launched iMovie in a while, and I've used iPhoto to import many videos from my iPhone's Camera Roll since the last time I launched and used iMovie.
    iMovie prompted me to create/update the thumbnails for my iPhoto videos, along with indicating no iPhoto videos will be available with iMovie until this is completed.
    Not sure how to do this manually, but this may be your problem.

  • 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.

  • How do I use the iPhone 5 to make a video with a synched soundtrack?

    I want to record a music video for a song.  The audio of the video would just be a song (presumably playing from my iTunes).  The video would be a P.O.V.-style shot taken with my iPhone 5 (walking around the street, for example).  I would like the audio of the song to be synched with my movements.  In the sense that a) there is no street noise, b) it's just the clean studio track for audio, c) the audio is playing in my ears (headphones via the iPhone's headphone jack) and d) because the audio playback inside the iPhone is synchronous with the video recording inside the iPhone, the video looks sharp (for example, any "air-drumming" would be synched well).
    I hope the description makes sense.  Is the above possible with the iMovie app?  Happy to pay for the app.  Just want to make sure it's equipped to do this. Any advice appreciated.  Thanks.

    You would need imovie to do that on the phone. It costs $4.99 on the app store

    I recently downloaded iMovie on my iPhone 5 and it is telling me to connect to wifi or use itunes to download iMovie well I have done both and it is still not working can someone please help me?

    Hi troy157,
    I'm sorry you are having issues with the iMovie app you purchased for your iPhone5.
    The first thing I would suggest is to log out of your iTunes Account on your iPhone, turn the iPhone off and then on again, and see if app finishes downloading/updating.
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Tap on your Apple ID account > Tap Sign Out
    If the issues persists, the article below will give you a few more troubleshooting steps:
    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    Try the following steps to resolve your issue, testing the app after each step.
    1. Update your device software
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
    2. Check for app updates
    Ensure that your apps are up to date:
    Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
    When prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the application updates.
    Note: Some applications may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.3. Install another app from the App Store
    4. Restart the application
    If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app:
    Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
    Double-tap the Home button to display recent apps.
    Tap and hold the affected app until the red minus appears.
    Tap the red minus to quit the app.
    Press the Home button, then restart the app.
    5. Restart your device
    Hold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.6. Reinstall the affected application
    Remove the application from your device and reinstall it.
    Touch and hold any application icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle.
    Tap the "x" in the corner of the application you want to delete.
    Tap Delete to remove the application and all of its data from your device.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store.
    Search for the application and then download it again.
    Note: If it is a paid app, ensure you are using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it is not, you will be charged for the app again. For more information regarding downloading previously purchased items, see this article.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!
    - Judy

  • New iMovie app for iPhone 4 not showing up in Location Services (Settings)

    iMovie app for iPhone 4 not showing up in Location Services (Settings). It apprently needs to be both viaible and turned on in Settings/General/Location Services in order for the app to discover previously taken video (Location Services correctly recognizes other apps of mine that utilize location-aware services).
    I think the following is related to and caused by this problem above: iMovie App for iPhone 4 is not recognizing video clips I have made, whether they're in Photo Album, or iPhone 4 native movies that have been throughout this process: [sync with iPhoto on Mac > save to to iPhoto album > sync album to iPhone 4].

    Just had this same problem. The solution is to turn Location Services on before launching iPhone iMovie.
    Yes, iMovie needing GPS coordinates is crazy, as is the error message that doesn't correctly explain the problem. Looks like a bit of a rush job.

  • Exporting an iphoto slideshow to play in the iphone

    Hello - any ideas how i can get a iphoto slideshow exported to play on an iphone.
    If you export an iMovie - under the share option there is an export movie option, and then you can choose the iphone format?
    Many thanks

    Do you have Quicktime Pro? If you do you can add the movie to the audio track, scaling it to match the track's length, and export for iPhone.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
