  • IMovie - Poor Video Quality when exporting to "Projects"

    Hi - I'm using iMovie 11' and once I move my video (HD) from "Events" to "Projects" my video quality becomes very poor and the video is cropped. I have changed my setting to have it "fit frame" but the problem still exists. Thoughts?

    @Harm,
    "Pear-shaped" (or sometimes "fruit-shaped") is a euphemism meaning that the effort has gone awry; it was a mess.
    @John,
    Export to DVD is a PPro 2.0 function; in CS3 it is now Export to Encore. Is that what you meant?
    First thing is to check the field orders of your source material and of your export settings. Don't invert them, and don't deinterlace interlaced footage.
    Perhaps a short list of the settings you have tried (and why you chose those settings) would help us help you.

  • IMovie 9 - Video is edited, shows the project clips, but won't play at all? Please Help

    So i've finished all the editing on my project, But now it won't play. The clips show on the project reel (left side) but doesn't show the video in the viewer on the right side. Space bar just sent the red tracking bar back to the beginning but won't play. Hitting the play button makes nothing happen, and playing full screen doesn't play the video either.

  • How about using a 60fps video for a smooth slow motion effect in a 30fps project ?

    Hey all,
    I happen to have a video camera that is able to shoot either in 720p/60fps or 720p/30fps.
    As you guessed it, 60 fps mode is very useful for action sports when you want to do some slow motion effect running very smoothly.
    I have few questions I would love to be answered, and I was not able to find answers till now.
    Here they are :
    1/ If I want my final video file to be, let's say, 25 fps, is it mandatory that my project is 25 fps too ?
    What will happen if I do a 30fps project and that I export to a 25fps file ? Does Premiere simply remove some extra frames ? Or will it lead to a longer video ? What consequence on the final result if frames are removed ? I mean, will I be able to see any difference or will the difference remain theorical ?
    2/ Let's say I have both 30fps and 60fps videos. I set my project to 30fps. If I import my 60fps video to the timeline, it will be adjusted to 30fps and some frames disappear to keep the duration the same. Okay, this is clear to me.
    But now, what if I import my 60fps to the timeline, but set the speed to 50% ? Will Premiere apply the 50% to the original file (therefore I should have all the frames displayed on the timeline : 60/2=30 fps), or to the 30fps-adjusted file of the timeline, leading to some jerky footage?
    3/ If I want to use my 60fps for slow motion purpose in my 30fps project, would it be a good idea to right-click on this file in the project windows, going to the "modify" menu to set the image frequency to 30fps ?
    Because while doing so, if I drag the file to the timeline, I noticed it would last 2 times longer (resulting in a slow motion video) Does that mean that ALL the frames of the original video are displayed ? Can someone tell me what exactly does Premiere ?
    I would be very grateful if someone could tell me what are the correct settings to chose in order to realise the best slow motion videos as possible.
    Thanks in advance !

    With due respect... this does not answer my question and does not help me that much , but anyway, thank you for the very constructive answer ^^.
    I'm not sure I would even have considered doing this by myself...
    I hope I do not get this kind of answer because you feel like my question was silly or unpolite... To my mind this was a pretty serious question.
    Shooternz, next time you need to go 150 km far away from where you are, go by feet rather than with a car, I'm sure you will have plenty of satisfaction too. Just cross the fingers for you not to be in a hurry while it's raining outside.
    Well, I may be naive but i thought some experts already had the answer to this (I guess I'm not the only one who intend to do some slo mo), and would have been kind enough to share this knowledge with me. That's what sometimes happens in communities.
    Please note I do not intend others to do the job for me, I'm just asking if someone already knows the answer.
    I asked this question because I couldn't find any documentation about this, and I guess asking on internet was the next step, as testing would be like the last resort, being very time consuming.
    It was easy to check the effect of dragging a file to the timeline to see if it played normally or not, but it's definitely not to count and compare each frame of some sample file to find if some are lacking, or have been doubled or what....
    I assume I would be very happy with just a simple theorical answer either...
    So once again, if someone already has been into such questions, I would really pleased him or her to share or report what they experienced. Thanks in advance.

  • The latest iMovie do not seem to be working properly.  the photos and videos become distorted whenever i attach them to the templates.  in one case (Blockbuster Trailer), the video skips thereby making it not in-synch with the music.  what should i do?

    I  wonder if another provider would really be much different?  Read some of the other carrier forums - seems to be the same story everywhere.
    I'm not disagreeing with you - I've found that I am usually more informed about Verizon policies and procedures than some of the reps in our local store.

  • IMovie 10 have to force quit during update of Project files

    I have installed Mavericks and now have the newest iMovie. I get the following dialog box (see below) when it is on the last file during an Update. I click "OK" and then the bar continues to scroll and I get the spinning beach ball. Finally I have to force quit iMovie as it is not responding. I have tried just having it import just the most recent movies but get the same dialog box. When I try the old iMovie 9.9 it loads all the projects with no problem. I had two projects that used movies created on an iPhone 5 so I removed those two projects from the projects folder, but no change.
    Anyone have a suggestion on how to correct this situation?
    I guess I can just work with new projects in this new version as the projects I've been trying to update are completed and saved to other media.

    iMovie 10.0.1 has been released to address reliability issues when updating projects and events from previous versions of iMovie. Specifically, iMovie could appear to stop responding or quit unexpectedly during the update process.
    If you encountered these issues, you should now be able to update your projects and events successfully. To do this, visit the link below and follow the instructions listed in the section "If updating is interrupted or takes an extended period of time."

  • How do I stop video freezing during export?

    Video freezes during export to DV camera from imovie HD. Tried updating OS to combined version for 10.3.9. Installed latest updater for imovie 5 with no difference. Can anyone suggest any other solutions?
    Chris

    Chris,
    I found a solution to the freezing problem in one of the answers to another problem here on the discussion forum.
    It solved my problem and it might be helpful to you.
    Convert your iMovie video into a QT film with the same quality (I have a dutch version of iMovie HD, so I don't know the exact menu-wording. Something like >Slect>share).
    Import this QT film into a NEW iMovie project.
    Then export to your camcorder.
    It took my Mac almost 11/2 hour to convert the video to QT (55minutes movie).
    But in the end, it worked.
    I'm no expert, but I think it has to do with the mutilations caused by adding titles, cutting, audio additions etc. which are imparted on the document.
    The original video that frooze was 17.1 GB. The successful copy only 13.6GB.
    Good luck

  • ?¿There was an error during muxing preparation (project conversion).?¿

    *There was an error during muxing preparation (project conversion).*
    can anyone elaborate on this?

    Same thing just happened to me. I re-output my quicktime movie with chapter markers turned off. You probably have a chapter mark set too close to the beginning, end or near a transition. I didn't have time to futz with the markers so I just turned them off.
    Muxing stands for multiplexing. It's when iDVD takes all the data layers, video, audio etc. and multiplexes them into one data stream. When you play the dvd in your player that one data stream is DE-Muxed back into the original layers.
    When you give iDVD a quicktime movie with chapter marks it encodes those chapters as separate mpeg 2 clips. When it muxes it combines everything into one stream. If there are any inconsistencies then muxing fails.
    DVD Studio pro gives a more detailed log when muxing fails. It usually involves problems with chapter marks.

  • How do I export my iMovie '11 video and burn it to a DVD? I've tried 'Share' - 'Media Browser', 'iDVD', and 'Export Movie' but always get an error message indicating that my movie is too long to publish. Thoughts?

    How do I export my iMovie '11 video and burn it to a DVD? I've tried 'Share' - 'Media Browser', 'iDVD', and 'Export Movie' but always get an error message indicating that my movie is too long to publish. Thoughts? Additionally, what does 'File' 'Finalize Project' do?

    Instead of Share to Media Browser, what happens if you try Share Menu > Export Movie... (choose Large size) and save it to the Desktop?
    If that fails try Share Menu > Export using QuickTime...
    Then pick Movie to QuickTime Movie, then click on Options... which is just to the right of Export
    Under the Video section click on Settings...
    Then in the pulldown menu at the top, titled Compression Type: Choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Then click OK. And click OK again, and save it to the desktop. Once the .mov file is created, you can import that into iDVD and most likely it will work in Wondershare Creator if you prefer to use that instead.

  • Does Skype now allow multiple video chats during c...

    I was doing a Skype video call recently and I had a couple of people in the conversation.  One of the people had his web cam on and everyone else had their web cams off.  The person who had his on had some old plan or feature in place on his account that allowed for mulitple video chats in a call when Skype did not support that feature with newer accounts at the time.  All of a sudden, I saw a message appear on the screen about being able to add multiple video chats to my Skype call for free. Has Skype really gone and added the capability of multiple video conferences during a call?

    Group Video Chats are now FREE.

    This has been the case since Premium service was disconnected (about ½ year ago):

  • Importing 4:3 Video Into A 16:9 Project

    I have a widescreen project (16:9) that I would like to include some video that was shot in "normal" format (4:3). Every time I try, however, the video is getting "stretched" horizontally so it fits widescreen.
    Is there any way to include 4:3 video into a 16:9 project?
    Thank you for your help!

    I have an old DV camera, and it records straight 4:3. (640x480)
    However, more recent DV cameras record anamorphic video. This means they record at 720x480 (which is an aspect ratio of 15:10). But the video will actually import at either 4:3 or 16:9, based on how the anamorphic flag is set. For 4:3, it uses square-ish pixels. For 16:9, it uses rectangular pixels.
    My recommendation would be to download a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (google it).
    Open MPEG Streamclip. Drag your clip(s) into MPEG Streamclip. File/Export to DV in 4:3. Then re-import into iMovie in a slightly different event name (File/Import Movie)

  • Video shift during dissolve

    I'm working on a video and I have taken a couple clips and squeezed them down so that they are within the title safe makers... so video with a black box is what it looks like after being shrunk/squeezed down. When I add a dissolve in between the two similar squeezed clips I get a video shift during the disolve.
    If I drop the same clips without squeezing them down and add a dissolve it looks just fine.
    Why do I get a video shift during the dissolve when the clips have been squeezed down? and how can I fix the problem of getting a good dissolve with a squeezed down look without making still images out of them?

    From your description it sounds like your clips are different sizes.
    Double click each clip individually and then click on the Motion tab in the viewer.
    For what you're trying to achieve you probably want make sure they are both at an 80% scale

  • HT5127 I have the trial version- love it. I want to buy the real version. But I've been making a video on the trial version. What happens to my video I'm making once I download the real version. I cannot lose it.

    Transitioning from the trial version to the final cut version. Does the trial just turn into the final cut pro real version? I want to download it before the 30 days are up but I dont want to lsoe my video? HELP!
    I have the trial version- love it. I want to buy the real version. But I've been making a video on the trial version. What happens to my video I'm making once I download the real version. I cannot lose it.

    Yes! As long as you don't delete your project files/library, you'll be fine.  When you install the full version, it might create a new library, go to your movies folder or wherever your current library is and just double click it to open it.

  • IMovie 11 - can't edit an existing project

    Mac mini, OS X 10.7.5, editing in iMovie 11
    Two open projects, one completed, one in process. When I opened iMovie today the following occurred -
    Project in process "edit project" button not highlighted, neither project will play in viewer, clips from completed project will play in viewer with sound, clips from project in process have no sound.
    Tried repair disk permissions in disk utility but no change, have 97 GB avail on 500GB drive, can't figure out what happened - no recent power surges/outages, everything working normally yesterday.

    Answered my own question - I had just imported 2 videos to add to the project in process before I shut down yesterday. After trying a bunch of other fixes, I deleted both those videos and everything is working again. Probably maxed out memory or space or something with the extra data so I will be careful to only add small clips to this project from now on.

  • Ipad iMovie missing video

    I created a project in iMovie then I reconfigured iTunes some how and synced it. Now iMovie can't find the original .mov file I created with the ipad. I have the .mov and i put it in my photos sycning folder and checked the box that says include movies but iMovie still can't find it.It shows up in iMove under Video, but at this point I think I need to have it in the camera roll or something? the file is 3GB so I can't email it like some suggest or Dropbox because my account only has 500MB.
    Please help

    Hi Craig,
    I also got the second problem. The storyboard on iMovie trailer has all these missing videos. If I import them on my iPad it doesn't find them.
    If you find a solution it would be much appreciated to share it here ... I'll do the same.
    Thanks,
    Rafael
