Imovie still longer than 10 min

i am importing still .png files or .jpgs or something to imovie.
audio plays in the background.
why does imovie not let me make the clip duration longer than 10 minutes?
i found a workaround: i have to copy and paste a second clip of the same picture on the end of the first clip. this is a minor problem, but since i'm making a lot of them, it just slows me down, you know?

many people have completed such projects in the 4:3 aspect ratio, but not 16:9.
I just encoded (Best Quality) a 1 hour 27 minute widescreen project last night. Now, Project Info says it's 4.2 of 4.2GB capacity, which I think is a bit odd... You'd expect that to be 75% of 4.2GB based on time alone. But the motion menus are 4:14 of 7:30, so that takes up some room. It may just be reflecting that the encoding "filled up" the disk image.
Another 45 minute widescreen project shows 1.7GB of 4.2GB. That has been encoded too. Seems aboout right.
I have seen others with "oversize" projects in iDVD 6.

IMovie is longer than the clips

I have a movie that's 9:40 but the timeline has about 4 minutes of blank space afterwards (to 13:41). It's exactly as described here (http://www.danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/usage/5018.shtml) but, after zooming in the timeline, I can't find that little piece of undeleted audio.
If I hit play again after the playhead stops at 9:40, it starts at the very beginning.

I use photo stills in my iMovie. I want them to last longer than a minute, but when I input 01: 45: 00, to signify one min. and 45 seconds, it doesn't accept it. What is the proper format for inputting minutes?

I use photo stills in my iMovie. I want them to last longer than a minute, but when I input 1:45:00, to signify one minute and 45 seconds, it doesn't accept it. What's the proper way to input it?

There are 30 frames in one second of video. So you can specify down to the frame level, which is 1/30th of a second.
Is the Duration box switching to some other time every time you type in 1:45:00?
For instance this is a 5 second clip plus 3 frames. To get this set properly I would type in 1:45:00, then click done. I don't know if it is different under older versions of iMovie, as I'm using iMovie '11 for thisi example.

Completed a project in iMovie which is 41 minutes long (2 GB) . When I attempt to create a iDVD disk(via clicking on share) ,I am advised that an error occurred because the project is too long. Have made other movies/created disks that are longer than 41

Have completed a project in project library that is 41 minutes long ( 2.1 GB ) . When I click share and attempt to create an iDVD disk , an error notice appears claiming the new project is too long. Have created other iMovie/DVD disks in the past which were longer than 41 minutes. What corrections do I need to make to ensure I can create a DVD disk for this 41 minute ( 2 GB ) project... I am using a 17 MacBook pro for this project.

PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!!

Satellite L505-10J - Can't play longer than 30-60 min

Hi,
I just bought the Toshiba L505-10J last week and I'm really satisfied with my choice, but when I start a game like Counter Strike Source or Risen I Have some strange Issues. The first 30-60 Minutes are Ok but then the Sound starts cracking and my Mouse (Razer Lachesis) stops moving when I'm holding a Key on the Keyboard (for example W for moving forward). When I switch to my desktop while playing this problem is gone (I opened Notepad pressed down W and moved the Mouse. No problems at all). When I Switch back it's there again. The only solution to this problem ist to reboot my Computer. Then I can play the next 30-60 min. before it starts all over.
I already reinstalled Windows 7 but the problem is still there.
When i use my Touchpad instead of my mouse it's the same. Can't play longer than 30-60 min...
This is not acceptable because I want to play games on my Notebook from time to time.
Hope someone can help me and sorry for my bad english, I'm from germany.

Hi Willey,
Im not quite sure but maybe your notebook is overheating. Have you clean the notebook using compressed air spray or can you notice if the notebook is really hot during you play a game?
Furthermore it would be interesting to know what display driver you are using. I had a similar issue after I installed a non Toshiba display. The graphic card was overheating and so the computer freezes. After this I installed the latest version from the Toshiba website and everything was fine again.
Check this!!!

Project longer than 60 mins

I have just tried to load a (FCE) project in to iDVD3.0 and was warned "Your project is longer than 60 mins..." with options to add time (click 90 mins) and reduce quality or keep 60 mins and remove files.
My FCE film is 59:18 which I expect is pushing the boundaries of a 60 min limit.
1. How much time would i need to cut to avoid this message? Does my choice of theme affect this?
2. How can I keep my full film without reducing quality?
I'm using a Sony DVD-R (120min)
Many thanks

The menus take up some of the time so it's difficult to say.

quality?
You don't have a choice, do you?

The DVD rated time has no meaning in iDVD.
Later versions of iDVD allow approximately 60 minutes and approximately 120 minutes on a single layer disc.
If you upgrade your system to a new Mac with iDVD 6 and a double layer (DL) burner, you could put your project on one DL disc at with the best qulity you can get.

For a 1G and 2G it can take hours. Make sure it is connected to a charging source otherwise the battery can fully drain before it is done. If still problem
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

When will they update iMovie to allow it to upload videos longer than 15 minutes?

When will they update iMovie to allow video uploads longer than 15 minutes to youtube or is there a setting that can be changed that I am not aware of?

indeed, although you're entitled for uploads beyond 15min (as I do ), iM sets some unwanted benchmark. me no programmer, unfortunately diggin' thru various -plists of the app didn't show me any 'hidden flag' we can set to change that.
don't complain, make Apple directly an Enhancement request:

I just recently upgraded to iMovie 10.0.1. Now whenever I import video longer than 30 minutes, it automatically splits it at 30 minutes. How can I get my entire video clip at once without a break again?

How can i upload an HD video longer than 15 minutes via imovie 11

I movie will not allow me to upload a video longer than 15 minutes in HD, which i am a youtube partner and have not limits of lengh on video upload, is there a way to override this?
I know i can just export it as an .mov and then upload to youtube, but i prefer direct upload from imovie. I'm using imovie 11.

In all honestly, i don't remember, since i no longer use imovie, i switch NLE, but i do recall it used to take a very, very long time. I don't think as long as 23 hours, but maybe 3 or so.

Why won't Imovie let me make a video longer than ten minutes?

This has never been a problem before. I have made many videos on Imovie that are longer than ten minutes. Now all of a sudden it won't let me make a video that is more than ten minutes long. What is going on?
On a somewhat related note: Not only am I having this hassle, but I had to create a whole new apple ID just to ask this question becasue for whatever reason Apple wouldn't accept my credintials ( not even my recovery credentials). Then I had to try to log in five or six times because at first they wouldn't accept my new password, which I later found out was because I also needed to confirm my recovery adress, and then because I had to create a separate Apple Support ID. I don't know about you, but I'm starting to get really sick and tired of having to jump through so many hoops just to accomplish the simplest tasks involving apple features.

Try copying it to your desktop, then importing into iMovie from there.

HT2479 In iMovie is it possible for the music track to run longer than the video?

In iMovie is it possible for the music track to run longer than the video? e.g. for there to be a short video clip playing during the intro to the song and then the song to continue to play in full once the video has finished?

Yes. Just drag your music in from iTunes or wherever and the timeline will auto increase to the full length of the music track. Like this:

Uploading videos longer than 15 mins to You Yube

Ok, I have a You Tube account which is enabled to upload videos longer than 15 minutes but every time I try to upload with iMovie I get a message telling me to make the video shorter because it won't upload.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Chris

Share your video using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE in the size you want. Then use YouTube's sebsite in a browser and upload there.
uploading through the browser has additional benefits. You can continue working in iMovie as it uploads, and you can queue up multiple movies to upload at once.

Widescreen projects longer than 60 min

It appears that iDVD 6 (version 6.0.1) cannot compress a widescreen (16:9) movie longer than 60 minutes (with the "High Quality" setting) to fit into one single-layer DVD disc. The resulting file is a little too long to burn the disc either directly from iDVD, or from a disc image.
Is there anyone who has completed such a project successfully? This forum indictes that many people have completed such projects in the 4:3 aspect ratio, but not 16:9.
Two calls to Apple have not resolved the problem.
PowerMac G4/G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9) iLife06
PowerMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) iLife06

many people have completed such projects in the 4:3 aspect ratio, but not 16:9.

Another 45 minute widescreen project shows 1.7GB of 4.2GB. That has been encoded too. Seems aboout right.
I have seen others with "oversize" projects in iDVD 6.
