Imovie transfer troubles.

How come when I created a movie in imovie on the ipad and transefered it to my laptop to burn a dvd,when I put the dvd in to play it on my 1080HDi t.v. the video was stretched too large and did not fit the screen, how do i fix this?

Yeah, I spent about three hours last night combing this board for solutions before posting; checked the iMovie preferences (and tried every conceivable variation of buttons, just to make sure), checked the midi setup--on my machine, I don't have any option but 44,100. Nothing seems to work.
Went so far as to trash iMovie and reinstall it off of the Panther install disks. Same problem.
Let me toss one other strange quirk into the mix, though not iMovie related, it could have roots in the same issue... I've got a training CD that came with Adobe CS2 which will not play audio, either. All the user interface sounds click, buzz, and ding appropriately, but the audio channel of the actual video itself does not. (Tech Support even sent me a replacement CD to see if that was the problem.) Yet, quicktime movies from the web play just fine.
I'm definitely stymied here.
Later,
K

Can I transfer troubled contents of my iMac into my MacBook Pro & back?

Can I transfer the contents of my iMac (4,1; 2 GHZ Intel Core Duo; 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM) into my new MacBook Pro (8,2: 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7); both with OS 10.6.7?
I was having trouble with 10.4.11 on my iMac, as shown here: Link: [discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2768285&tstart=0]. I went ahead & installed Snow Leopard & had automatic downloads of the updates.
I am having more trouble now. By the end of the day, I cannot type into browser address line, nor delete highlighted items, nor highlight multiple items. This is temporarily cleared up by restarting.
I previously have always kept my machine going while away from desk. Now, in the evening, it seems to go to sleep--even tho I have web pages that are supposed to refresh themselves automatically & iTunes radio station supposed to stay running.
Yesterday & today after being away, I could not make the screen turn on--although the iTunes radio was playing. This is temporarily cleared up by restarting.
1. Can this situation be fixed? Problems were not completely solved under Tiger.
Disk Repair indicated disk is OK. I have downloaded AppleJack; & each morning upon starting, it shows a full screen of permissions corrected of various forms of java in system library.

When some sort of update check runs, it shows a bunch of different missing bundle identifier:/library/receipts/...
Would this mean I should try to reinstall Snow Leopard again? (Then update that from my 10.6.3?)
2. I plan to add memory.
3. If necessary, I will buy & install a new hard drive.
Question for #2 & #3 (neither of which I have ever down before): If I transfer the contents of iMac hard drive to MBP, will it stay in a folder that I can transfer back, or does it all spread itself throughout the MBP?
If I install a new hard drive, will the transferred-back stuff still exhibit the same problems?
Thanks,

IMovie transfer to Final Cut Pro?

I'm using iMovie....can I transfer what I have created to Final Cut Pro?

There is no size limitation. When you import an iMovie project titles, transitions, effects and other elements do not transfer. If you export a master file from iMovie you can most likely bring it over without problem.

IMovie import trouble. "The import was cancelled. You may not have permission to write to ..."

I recently purchased a Sony Handyman camcorder and just attempted to import a test video. A window popped up with the message "The import was cancelled. You may not have permission to write to ..." I am not super tech-savy, so please explain how to remedy this with very simple and specific directions. Thank you.

OK then you must have imovie 9 or earlier.
Is your camcorder listed as supported by iMovie 9? see: http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US
Can you transfer your clips from the camcorder to your hard disk using Finder then transfer these to iMovie as a second step.

Log & Transfer Trouble

I've increased my ram so now the log and transfer works smoothly. Only now, several of the scenes are not transferring over to the Bin. The little ball twirls and the bar moves to completion. Then nothing. Once I touch it a red exclamation point appears. I was having this trouble before but fixed it with the increase in ram. Note: The clips have no pattern. Some are long, some are short. Any advice would be appreciated.

#36 - One or More P2 files failed to import.
Shane's Stock Answer #36 - "One or more clips failed to import..."
Very often in the field with this camera the camera operator will delete clips from the P2 card that they just don't like. That is the beauty of this camera. But, the still for that video file (located in the CLIP folder in the CONTENTS folder)...the still that you see when you are in the P2 Import window...is not deleted. So you will see the image, and the name, but the video file would have been deleted.
What you can do it compare the file names in the VIDEO folder and CLIP folder and see if anything is missing. If something is, then you know what the problem is. You can then just import the rest a few at time, skipping that one.
ALSO...in the P2 Import window...in the P2 Browser, there is a little sprocket drop down menu. Click on that and choose PREFERENCES. Uncheck REMOVE PULLDOWN and then try importing again.
ALSO...make sure your file names aren't too long. Try shortening them and see if that works.
ALSO make sure that the folders that contain the CONTENTS folder doesn't have any odd characters like /!@#$%^&*()?.

IMovie transfer to iPad OS6

Could anyone tell me how to download an iMovie project into my iMovie app on my iPad with OS6, please? I managed to get it into iTunes but am stuck at that point.

No, you can't transfer iMovie projects themselves between Mac and iPad. The only thing you can do is export the project to a video format that both devices read, and then of course you can sync that over, but it won't be an iMovie project that can be edited, it will just be a video file.

Could Compressor alleviate my iMovie output troubles?

Hi all,
I've posted before about how terrible my blacks look when I output movies in iMovie 11. The blacks, and other dark colors, have a shimmering quality to them that is extremely distracting. Frankly, it ruins scenes with dark colors. The response in my queries has generally been that nothing can be done.
I'm wondering if I could use Compressor to output iMovies. Is this possible? I'd rather spend $50 than $299 to get clean looking video. I read that Compressor can be used with videos made outside of FCP, but I'm not sure how I could actually transfer a RAW iMovie edit into Compressor.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Best,
Taylor

Thanks for your reply. Actually I can't post a link - the subject matter is somewhat confidential - it is a police training video for reserve recruits in how to write traffic citations. The content probably isn't all that confidential but it would be improper for it to get out into the web. The problem you mentioned is what I thought it would be. I can borrow a PC and see what results I get with it.
The real problem is that 99.5% of the people who are suppose to be watching it are probably running PCs.

IMovie transfer to DV camcorder - connection lost

For back up purposes, I export iMovie films to DV using my Sony DCR-HC85. Done it without problems until a few days ago.
Recently updated iMovie to 5.0.2, and everything was fine.
All the sudden...when the camcorder is on "Play/Edit" (for import DV) iMovie connects fine. But when I turn to "Camera/Tape" for exporting to DV, iMovie shows connection for a few seconds but immediatly connection is lost.
Trashed "com.apple.iMovie.plist" but the problem persists.
iMovie 4 app is still installed, may it be of any importance?
Appreciate any help !

... first of all: Thanks for The Big Green One ..
glad I could help ...
now, about the laugther:
I'm NO engineer, I lived a long time from my "bad mouth" (=advertisment business) ...
now, when someone was very, very ... I mean very precise with "wording", these were mostly engineers... what I called "some piece of wire", was a "double twisted paired single isolated ethernet quality cable".. you understand..?
when I wrote "set to edit", I HOPED, you understand my .. "lax" wording..
you HAVE to be precise, otherwise a person as me would engineer a Mars lander, which calculates the distance to ground in meters... yards.. foot... "some" ... nautic miles ... anyhow ...
.. oops - NASA had engineers like that ..

File transfer trouble

i am trying to transfer my files form my old macbook, to my new macbook pro, and it has been going for 4 hours and still has 1 hour and 34 minutes to go, i went to dinner an hour and a half ago and when i left, it had 1 hour and 34 minutes to go, help? it has made no progress considering it started four hours ago saying it had 2 hours remaining

I am using an ethernet cable, they are both the regular size macbook, and the old one is 2008-2009 and the new one is 2012-2013 macbook pro and im not sure how much data but i have a lot of music and a lot of papers for school and a fair amount of pictures

Log and transfer troubles

Hi,
I'm using Log & Transfer in order to import my Canon EOS 5d Mk iii video files on Final Cut Pro 7. Until 2 days ago it was working without problems. Now he doesn't work: since is starting the conversion it shows "clip duration 23 hours" and it doesn't create any converted video files... any suggestion?

There was a recent post with the advice that the timecode slection in the camera menu had to be set to free run in order for Log&Transfer to work properly. So I would double-check that setting.
I assume (since it worked before) you have the latest EOS plug-in. Lion seems to be the most recent OS that it supports.

Can updated quicktime screw up iMovie transfer?

Last week I shared an iMovie to quicktime and it played smooth and fine. I updated my quicktime to 7.1.5, made two small changes to the iMovie and shared it to quicktime again. After the update the video is choppy and of poor quality. Did updating quicktime cause the loss of quality? Can I uninstall and put back the previous version of QT?
Thanks,
Kurt

I rebuilt the desktop with DiskWarrior (the newest non intel version), downloaded qt 7.1.6 to fix the bugs, resent the movie to quicktime:
STILL CHOPPY, STILL PIXELATED. I shouldn't have updated to 7.1.5.
I don't have my copy of the first qt movie until Monday, I'll check out the two versions.
SOMETHING NEW: IDVD preview panes (like next to play movie, or scene selection) are choppier and more pixelated since the update.
Please e-mail any friends you have at apple and tell them the above update for qt decreases the quality of IMOVIE transfers to CD-Rom, Quicktime movies. The ones you are most likely to use and burn for friends and family. It may also screw up some IDVD features.
E-mail like the very wind.
Thanks.

IMovie HD - Trouble! Video is skipping like it has too much information??

On my current iMovie HD project, the Video portion of the playback is skipping during the last song I am working on. It's almost like there is too much information during that song, but I have not added transitions, sound effects, etc to the clips.
I have tried deleting song and adding a different song, same problem. The other 30 minutes of the movie play perfectly.
Wowsers. Any help would sure be appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you Jason for responding so quickly. I clear the auto-linking and do my own linking between tables. As you said, "there's nothing smart about CR's smart links".
And I was referring to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 version 9.0.3073. The problem I initially had was linking CR to the server. Thankfully I had a lot of help from the linking forum that helped me with it. I'm running Windows 7 and it appears the operating software has two ODBC one is 32 and the other 64. In the ODBC Data Source Administrator the user DSN is set to the SQL Server.
Back to this problem. Trying to figure out the double item numbers and I have tested it with only that one particular table and did not link it to another. I also have tried it with linking it to other tables to see if somehow that could put a restriction on the information. The parameters really doesn't work here unless I'm setting it up incorrectly. Nor does the Select Expert really do what I need it to do. The options I can choose from: Itemnumber: is any value, is equal to, is not equal to, is one of... nothing gives me the option to say only choose the child if the child was purchased. And I'm not advance enough to figure out a script to do it.
Per sales order (I have the report to group by the sale order number) I need it to list the correct item that was purchased by the customer. The report pulls into the detail section of the report the parent and child item number when only the child item was ordered and not the parent.
I have a feeling you are correct in saying
Don thank you very much for the registry edit. It has saved me a step in creating new reports.
Thank you both again,
Cindy W.

Time machine transfer troubles

Numerous attempts fail. Data Rescue program clone the drive. Browsing the Time machine works with either drive.
Neither drive transfers to a fresh drive.
Using Lion on an iMac. Two Buffalo branded external drives. One 500 GB, the other 1 terabyte, approximately 470 GB of data on the 500 GB in Time Machine backups. First attempt using superduper, it fails. Then I try Disk Utility. It fails. (input/output error, the console log says) Carbon Copy Cloner in block mode fails indicating bad sector blocks. OK. So I use Data Rescue and make a clone of the 500 GB drive onto the 1 Terabyte. All the data is safely in two places. But now the one terabyte thinks it is 500 GBs in size with only 30 GBs left.
Purchase a 2 TB Western Digital, try to use Disk Utility to copy (restore) the Time Machine from the 1 terabyte clone. It fails with the same input/output error. Carbon Copy Cloner in block mode fails as well. Then re-tried the original 500 GB drive to the 2 TB Western Digital. All attempts fail.
Any suggestions of how else I can transfer his data to the larger drive so that he can continue his backups? Forgetting about the backups is not an option, he is in litigation and foresees the need for some of the historical record.
Here is informative console log:

All the data may be there, or it may not.   Whatever was on the bad sectors most likely didn't get transferred, so the backups are incomplete. The I/O errors tend to confirm that -- part of a file or files (or entire files) may be missing.
You cannot successfully copy corrupted Time Machine backups.
You can try repairing the backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting. If that's able to repair them, you may be able to copy them.   That will take a very long time, at best.
But your best bet is probably to just let Time Machine start fresh on the new, empty drive.
You can still view and restore from the old backups, although you'll have a problem if you happen to hit the damaged file(s), via the Browse... option, per #E2 in that same link.

About HD Imovie timeline troubles

Hello,guys.
I think that I wan't descriptive enough when I posted before. Sorry,I dont know what else to discribe except that I am using ILife '05. Also I downloaded an Imovie upgrade for my version 5.0.2 last night and today I had a crash while using Imovie.
Info of the failure took over the screen and I took a picture of it which I downloaded to Iphoto after I shutdown/and turned it on again. Everything its working fine except Imovie. I reads "corrupt stack"! on the top.I really need to know where to start to get rid of these corrupted stack, someone that could interpret all this data.
Since I have no clue on how to upload it or if it is permmited here,I have no choice but to send it through email to somone. If you would like to help please contact me to [email protected]
Thank you for your patience.
Ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi
As I remember it this is a "bug" and only way around is this.
• Select clip A and clip B
• Go up to Advance menu and select Extract Audio
• Now go to text tool - insert text - drag the tool name to where the text
should start in TimeLine
Now it will not tuch the audio.
Text can only be dropped where there is a sceen/clip brake.

Imovie sharing trouble

I am trying to share a movie in theatre and everytime i do it, says there is a video rendering error -50. I end up getting a video that is half the length. I have tried exporting with files but still no success? Any ideas?
Thankyou

I'm not too well up on Mac OS X Error Codes - even though I've googled this for you, and suggestions seem to indicate that Error 0 means "no error", but that doesn't sound right - so all I can offer is:
Error codes are 'pre-written' and have to cover a wide range of circumstances, so they're not always appropriate to the actual problem (..like in DOS, "Bad command or filename" could mean almost anything: mistyped word, command term is missing or in the wrong place, program doesn't exist or has been moved, etc).
So the actual wording of an Error message may imply something quite different, e.g; you "don't have permission" to write to a disc may mean that the disc is actually full, so there's no more room to write to it.
If you've already made three iMovie projects, and created two iDVD projects from those, and none of that material has been deleted from your Mac, then perhaps you're running short of space. Why not check and see how much free space you have on your iMac, as burning a DVD can need up to about 4.5 GB of empty space to build the DVD "disc image" (..depending on how long the DVD runs for).
Not having "permission" to do something can also mean that various files may be in the wrong places ..which sounds like the consequence of renaming folders, or moving programs out of the folder where the system expects to find them. Could you have renamed any other folders, beside the 'Pictures' which you've now corrected? Could you have moved the iDVD program - or any other item which iDVD is trying to use - from its original position?
Not having "permission" to do something is such a catch-all, that you'd really have to narrow things down to what exactly is different, or what changes you've made on your Mac, between earlier projects and this latest one.
Sorry not to be any more helpful than that!
