IMovie sharing using Entourage...

I'm running iMovie 5.0.2 on a new G4 iBook 1.42 GHz computer.
I'm not having success "sharing" my selected video clip using entourage as my e-mail source.
Here is my step by step procedure:
Select the video clip in iMovie in the timeline.
Select "Share" from the File menu.
Select E-mail from the options at the top of the Share window.
Select Microsoft Entourage from the pull down menu.
Check the box "Share selected clips only"
Press the "Share" button
The next window shows that the video clip is being compressed
Entourage e-mail program automatically opens with a new e-mail page.
Here is where I don't see anything in the attachment window other than a document labeled "Attachment (Playerpro document)" with a file size of 0.0k
Any suggestions as to why this is not functioning like it should?
My Entourage e-mail setting are correct for sending and receiving mail.
I have not tried the other Mac mail option since it's not my primary e-mail program.
I did try sharing the video clip via Quicktime and then attaching the video clip to the e-mail which it worked.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Jose.

Hi Jose - works perfectly for me too. The steps you take are correct.
How big was the clip you wanted to send? Too big?
Sorry, I can think of no other reason for the problem.

  • IMovie shared "using quicktime"

    Can anyone please tell me:
    1) if Macbook can make an iMovie project autoplay when put on a CD? Movies are exported "using Quicktime".
    2) A 2 minute movie usually end up being some 50MB in size. Can I reduce file size (for websites) without compromising quality?
    Thanks in advance

    1) if Macbook can make an iMovie project autoplay when put on a CD? Movies are exported "using Quicktime".
    The computer platform has nothing to do with this. Depending on how the content is delivered, the media player involved, and the user settings for the media player, a file may or may not be able to play automatically.
    2) A 2 minute movie usually end up being some 50MB in size. Can I reduce file size (for websites) without compromising quality?
    You have not supplied enough information to make even an educated guess. A 2-minute, 50 MB file means your average audio + video data rate is on the order of 3.0 Mbps. Since you do not mention the audio or video codecs involved or the dimensions, it is difficult to tell whether or not you could reasonable reduce the file size without degrading the visual quality. A standard definition H.264/AAC file would likely be encoded at half the file size with good to excellent quality and be compatible with most broadband connections for a website use.

  • How do I get imovie to use Photoshop Elements 12 as external editor?

    How do I get imovie to use Photoshop Elements 12 as external editor? I am making a movie slide show with music from my Caribbean vacation photos and adding text captions to photos in PS Elements 12. I can also add some effects to photos like edge blur although I like iphotos effects better but iphoto doesn't seem to do text. The finished PS Elements photo doesn't seem to want to be shared by iphoto which is what imovie uses...
    I am still learning to use PS Elements 12 for Mac (had PSE 7 for WinVista but wasn't proficient) and Mac and it's programs are new to me. I switch between my old Dell which is still amped for graphics and the new Mac mini. I started to use Movie Maker to do my vacation project but read that imovie was better but so far it doesn't seem to have as broad of file useage when it comes to imovie and photo files.
    Hmmmmm??? What to do?

    You simply need to create your stills with Photoshop Elements, save them in a suitable format (.jpg, .png, .tiff are all acceptable) then drag and drop them into your iMovie timeline.  You don't have to use iPhoto.

  • I am trying to burn a dvd. I created it on Imovie shared it to Idvd and am trying to burn it on a memorex dvd-r from my mac os x laptop. Each time it attempts to bunr and then ejects it early. Usually near the end. Please help.

    You will get better results if you use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option and then drag the movie from the Movies pane of the Media Browser in iDVD onto the menu window.
    Also I suggest you use this workflow which I learned from Bengt:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Deleting movie files in iMovie Sharing - iTunes -folder

    When I share a project to iTunes a movie file is created not only in Music>iTunes>iTunes Music>Movies but also in Movies>iMovie Sharing>iTunes. If I then delete a project, no movie file is deleted. In iTunes I can delete a movie file. But then the movie file in iMovie Sharing>iTunes still exists. Is it ok just to manually (using Finder) delete the movie files in iMovie Sharing>iTunes I don't need any more or is there a logic behind this behaviour I don't understand.

    This is because with iTunes you have the option of copying files into the iTunes library, or leaving them where they are. iMovie doesn't have anyway to know which option you're using. All iMovie does is create the file in the "iMovie Sharing" folder then alert iTunes to import it.
    Once the import is done, if you have iTunes copying content into the library, you are free to delete them from the sharing folder since they are duplicates.
    BTW: You will still have yet another copy contained within the project itself which is used for iLife sharing. Sharing one movie for example, in three sizes, actually puts 9 copies of the movie on your hard drive! Three copies for each of the three sizes. It can add up quickly.

  • Can I delete movies in iMovie Sharing folder?

    Hi.  I am using iMovie 11 with OS X Lion on a MacBook Pro.  When I complete a Project in iMovie, I publish it to iTunes using the Share > iTunes command from the main iMovie menu.  I have noticed that this creates two copies of the movie, one within iMovie in the Movies > iMovie Sharing > iTunes folder (let's call this location A), and the other in the iTunes > iTunes Media > Movies folder (location B).  Therefore, it seems that there are two copies of every finished movie on my computer.  Question: After publishing the movie to iTunes, can I delete the copy in location A?  Will this have any negative consequences if I later choose to edit the Project and re-publish the movie to iTunes?
    The movie in location A is on my internal drive, and the movie in location B is on an external drive (where all my iTunes media content is located). I fully back up both drives to another external drive 2-3 times per week, so I do not need the movie in location A for back-up purposes.
    By the way, when I sync the movie to my iPad (from iTunes) or watch it on my Apple TV (again, from iTunes), I believe iTunes is pulling the content from location B.
    Thank you

  • How to set up shared use of "Contacts" data w/ 2 individual user accounts?

    How to set up shared use of application "Contacts" data for two individual user accounts?

    Link the contacts in one user account to a online cloud based system like Google or apples iCloud and then link the second user to that same online account. This could cause some slight problems if both people maintain their own online account to either of those systems on a phone or pad.

    I want to use one of my icloud email addresses as a new apple ID.  It was an additional email contact address I originally set up for my child.  But now, I'd like to set her up on Family Sharing, using that email as her ID.  Obviously, when I try to use it when setting up a new apple ID, it says the email is already being used (Yes, by ME) and I need to select a different one.  Can I somehow delete that email address in order to set up a new apple ID using it?  Or is there another way to "re-use" that address for my child's new ID?

    "Well, then I want to be able to merge that one and the one my purchases are on..."
    This is exactly what I want to do but don't think I can:
    I noticed the following :
    If you attempt to create an Apple ID which is the same as your @icloud email address from the online facility, it does not allow you (can't use an Apple associated email address as your Apple ID). However - if you start a fresh device - such as a new iPhone, iPad (must be mobile it seems), and then create an iCloud account and Apple ID from the prompts when setting up the mobile device, it IS possible to have your Apple ID and @iCloud email address as the same. I know because I just did it!
    Unfortunately for me, the result I got above is not for one of my own ID's but a friends, and I would VERY much like to do the same - my current Apple ID is a completely different email address from my iCloud account. Trying to get them the same in my situation is a major bother - I think that if I wipe a device (such as an iPhone5 that is mine) and try to setup as I did my friend's device, then I will get a conflict because the iCloud email I have ALREADY exists. This is my worry and I will not attempt this until I get the new iPad 4 soon to test this.
    There is an inconsistency here between the two methods of creating Apple ID's and iCloud accounts.
    Overall in my opinion, the Apple ID system as currently available from Apple is not designed very well, and should be addressed.
    Best wishes -

  • Thanks all for the great advice.  Another question.  If I use Entourage on my desktop Mac to access an email address I use on there, is it possible to be able to access my email on that same email address on my iPad either with or without Entourage?

    Thanks all for the great advice.  Another question.  If I use Entourage on my Mac desktop to access my mail using an email address I have on there, is it possible to access my emails on that same email address on my iPad, either with or without using Entourage.  Is there an Entourage app, or something I could use?  Thanks...

    Simply add the email account to Mail, no need for Entourage.
    One word of warning, though, iPads tend to become community property (meaning anyone who uses your iPad can access your email). That is why I have zero email accounts on my iPad.
    I use Entourage on my desktop as well, so going back and forth between Entourage and Mail (whether on your iPad or iPhone) is no problem.

  • How can I get permission from imovie to use text in my uploaded monetized YouTube clips

    I am able to use imovie to edit movies. I use a small amount of text and no music from imovie. How do I obtain permission from imovie to use a text title for my monetized YouTube uploads?

    You do not need permission for this.

  • Sending pictures from iPhoto 8 using Entourage

    I have a problem that I haven't been able to resolve as yet. I send my pictures via email using Entourage. When I choose the picture and Medium for example the size quoted was 122 kb but when it was actually sent it was only 88 kb. Every attachment I send is reduced considerable. I can't ascertain whether the problem is with iPhoto or with Entourage. It did the same in iPhoto 6. I have looked everywhere for a setting in both Entourage and iPhoto and have come across nothing. I am hoping someone on here can help. Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try exporting the photos to the desktop at the size you would like, you can set that in the File->Export->File Export window. Add those files into an Entourage email and send. That will tell you if it's iPhoto over compressing or Entourage.
    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.

  • Convert wmv file to a format iMovie can use

    How do i convert the wmv file that i have imported from my PC to mac into a format that iMovie can use? And which is the best file format? why can i play the file but not import it to iMovie?

    Winston has got good advise. The F4M free download allows you to play wmv and it will even allow you to convert them, however, only in a limited way. To get full functioning, you have to purchase a license. However, if you do this a lot, then it could be worth it.
    I found the following info on this forum about compatible files:
    iMovie '08 will only allow you to to import files containing compression formats that can be edited. If your AVI file won't import, it likely means that the audio and/or video data is not editable. To import it, you will have to first convert it to any of the acceptable compression formats. For video this means DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264.

  • IMovie 09 uses up 4GB of RAM in less than 2 minutes

    Hi,
    The topic says it all i think..
    To be honest i don't know if i had this issue before Snow Leopard i have only been using it for about a week. I have a MacBook Pro (Early 2008) 2.6GHz with 4GB RAM installed. I have never had any issues with the RAM being used up this fast before ever (and i'm a pretty heavy photoshop user and gamer).
    With just a simple project and little events i make a short clip, some transitions and a background tune. Then i minimize iMovie to check my Mail or another app and notice the mac became horribly slow and minimizing takes a good minute. Then i check Activity Monitor and iStat Pro to find within just a few minutes i not only used up 4GB of RAM but only am well into 4GB Swap File usage, i need to restart to turn my Mac back into the fast Mc it was before i started iMovie.
    Before writing this i did a few tests with garageband and a couple of other apps including Adobe Suite etc... i still have a little over 2GB RAM free. Then i start iMovie, open my project and mess around a little.... wham, RAM gone, is this what's known as a memory leak ?
    Any thoughts on this? I started experimenting / learning iMovie because i have a wedding DVD to make soon, i need this software to work right.
    Thanks in advance
    Jay

    MPEG2 and AVCHD are two different codecs. Your footage will be one or the other, but not both. MPEG2 is used more often in standard definition cameras.
    Having said that, your memory problem is unusual. iMovie uses a lot of memory, and if you are constrained on memory, it uses swap files. However, mine has never used up 4GB of real memory in 2 minutes. It looks like you have a memory leak somewhere (which could be a bug in iMovie).
    I don't know how to find it since I can't replicate it on my system.
    One thing that may help you monitor this is the free application called [MemoryStick|http://www.tidbits.com/matt>. You can install it and monitor your swapfiles real time. You can also see how much real memory and virtual memory iMovie is using at the moment through Activity Monitor (which I presume you are already doing.)
    With MemoryStick, if I notice that I have 5,6, or 7 swapfiles going, and they are over 2GB (they have been as high as 4GB) then I know it is time to re-boot.
