IMovie video recording limit 40 minutes

I have an iPad 4 and am using the current version of iMovie. I am attempting to record for an hour at a time. It stops at 39:59:9 minutes and says the recording has reached the limit. Can the limit be changed? I could not see how in settings. I don't think it's a storage issue, as I have 20 G available. Any solutions?
In settings, iMovie is version 2.0. IOS is 7.0.3

You are wise to suspect that your problem is related to your decreasing disk free space.
In addition to using your startup disk to store files, OS X needs significant disk space for system tasks that it is doing for your without your input. I think you will do well to keep a MINIMUM of 10GB of your startup disk free for use by OS X 10.6.x. 20GB will be better. You will notice increased operating speed and less interruptions like the ones you are now experiencing. (BTW- when you eventually upgrade to a newer OS X version, understand that its new features will benefit from even more free space.)
If you need some ideas about how to increase the free space you use, check out OS X: Increase disk space. Even though it was written for Mountain Lion, some of the suggestions such as moving some files to other disks or simply deleting ones that are no longer needed are equally applicable to your Snow Leopard system.

Problem with video recording: Limit set to 15 seconds?

Hello all,
This is my first apple product, I have never used an Iphone before. I bought an unlocked iphone 4 and Everything else on the phone seems to work fine but for some reason I can't shoot more then 15 seconds of video. At exactly 15 seconds, the message "Video Recording Stopped. The maximum length for this video has been reached."
I have 8 gigs of space left on this phone, so I am not sure what limit it is referring to.
Someone please help me out as this was the MAIN feature I wanted the phone for, high qaulity video! 15 seconds of recording time doesn't seem normal to me.
Thanks everyone!

Any ideas? I've tried checking to make sure MMS was off incase it was something to do with that but.. what would cause only 15 seconds of video exactly before being told the limit is reached?

Xperia Z2 video recording limit?

Hi guys,,
I have a question about video recording on the Z2... Is there a chart, which shows how long the phone will record video for, with a full battery or on mains power ?
Can anyone help please ? Thanks so much,,
Ian

He might be talking about Z2,the autosuggestion might have given him SP. The Z2 should be able to record at least until you reach a 4GB file because of the FAT32 format.

ISight video recording became limited to 15 fps?

From time to time I record videos with my built-in iSight camera. I used to do it using iMovie, then Quicktime and Photobooth lately.
However, I noticed that frame rate in all my recent recordings do not exceed 15fps. Photobooth does the worst job -- it records at 7-10 fps, Quicktime 7 records at 12-13 fps, iMovie -- at 15 fps. I even changed iMovie video recording settings to NTSC to achieve 30 fps, but -- no luck. Stuck at 15 fps.
I have tonns of my earlier recordings done at 30 fps. I don't know when exactly it happend, but I believe around the time I upgraded to Snow Leopard.
Is there a way of getting iSight recording back to 30 fps?
Thanks,
Eugene

Welcome to Discussions, Eugene (edugaev)
You seem like an experienced user, so I will give you some suggestions for your consideration while you troubleshoot your problem. Once you have found the root cause of the trouble, even if it is not automatically resolved, you will have identified what needs to be fixed. If you need clarification or help on any of the following suggestions, I will try to offer more details in response to your specifics.
(1) You are wise to continue test with multiple apps to see if the problem is system wide or application specific. Before continuing, I suggest you also test in another user account to eliminate the possibility that this issue is user-specific.
(2) Try turning on some more the light. The idea for this came from the fact that Apple's article entitled Sight's video "stutters" in low light when I turn it on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2264
says iSight reduces frame rate in low light.
More info: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3097
(3) Be sure you have not increased processor loads with File Vault, multiple applications in a new workflow, or added Login Items. Also, with "tonns of ... earlier recordings", be certain you are not running short of free space on your disk.
(4) If nothing there leads to a fix, because you think the issue began upgrading you Mac OS, if you use third party hardware that requires software installation (mouse, keyboard, A/V interface, etc.,) or software (including Microsoft Office or Exchange, plugins such as Perian, Flip4Mac, etc.,) check their support sites to see if any of them have known-issues with 10.6.2.
Perhaps you merely need to update the software or drivers in order for your third-party system components to be compatible with 10.6.2
Uninstall any that are currently known to be incompatible with your system.
(5) If your problem persists and your system has no third-party components, or at least none that require updating for OS X 10.6.2, backup all important data and apply the 10.6.2 Combo Update (with permissions repairs before AND after the update).
Then test whether your problem persists.
(6) If your problem persists, reinstall Snow Leopard. Be sure to repair permissions before and after installing.
Once you have reinstalled SL and apply the latest current Combo Updater with permissions repairs between each step and after updating.)
Do not reinstall any third-party apps until you have tested your iSight's function. When iSight is working properly again, you can reinstall your third-party apps again, Install only one third party app at a time, and test it thoroughly before installing another so you can tell if one of them causes problems with your system.
(7) If the problem persists, the problem may be caused by a software problem outside the Mac&OS that you cannot find. Then only fix I know for that is to zero your disk and do a clean install of SL to see if you can resolve the problem yourself before seeking help from an Apple Service Provider.

Powershot SX510 HS automatically stops recording video after 10 - 15 minutes into the recording.

Powershot SX510 HS automatically stops recording video after 10 - 15 minutes on continuous recording. Is there a way to turn this off? I would like to record videos until either I press the stop recording button, or the battery gets low. I have turned off all the power saving setting, at least I think I have.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The camera has some recording limitations as all the Canon models do. Below is how you can extend your recording times to a max of about 1 hour but there is a 4BG limit regardless so once it hits 4GB the recording stops and has to be restarted.
Also the memory card needs to be at least a Class 6 rating or the recording will stop sooner regardless of the clip size.

I want to break up my hour long video in iMovie 11 into smaller 15 minute segements to upload to youtube. How can i put EDITED VIDEO in new projects in iMovie?

I want to break up my hour long video in iMovie 11 into smaller 15 minute segements to upload to youtube. How can i put EDITED VIDEO in new projects in iMovie? (each 15 minute segment to iMovie)

In iMovie's Project Library view (where all your projects are listed), click on the name of your project (don't double-click to open it, just single click to highlight it).
From the Menu select File > Duplicate Project. A copy of your project will be placed in the Project Library. It will have the same name as the original, but with a number appended. You can rename it if desired - click on its name twice (not double-click) so that it is highlighted as light blue, then over-type it.
Delete from the duplicate all the clips and other media (for example, photos, music and so forth) that you don't want included in the first of your 15 minute segments. In other words, delete all but the first 15 minutes.
Continue creating duplicates of the original (and rename if necessary). Delete from each duplicate all the unrequired parts for each segment. So, for example, for the 2nd duplicate delete the first quarter (15 minutes) and the 3rd and 4th quarters.
You should end up with 4 duplicates with separate names, each containing the required segment. You will also have kept intact the original one hour movie, which you may wish to use independently of YouTube (maybe for burning a DVD or playback through a Media Player).
Note that duplicating the original project will not take up much extra space on your drive. Projects reference (link to) the associated Event (or Events) in the Event Library - they don't actually contain video as such. The project file also keeps track of titles, transitions, effects, music and so forth that you've added to the project.

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.

10 minutes of the center part of a skype video recording are missing? Help!

10 minutes of the center part of a skype video recording are missing? Help!

I'd urge you not to be too hasty. Record more. Does the problem repeat? If you experience similar audio dropouts on other recordings, then it's time to worry. Whatever you experienced may have been a one-time event.
There are many ways to capture audio besides QuickTime: Audacity (free) and Piezo ($) are two popular alternatives. Piezo 1.2.2 is the last version for Snow Leopard. You can get a free demo version here: https://rogueamoeba.com/legacy/. I don't know which one has lower system requirements--and, in fact, QT may be the most efficient of the lot. Experiment.
4GB RAM should be sufficient, though more RAM never hurts. That iMac (Core i3, 3.2GHz, mid 2010) will accept as much as 16GB. Adding RAM is generally the easiest and most cost-effective way to boost performance of an older machine.
490MB for 31 minutes of audio. It sounds as if you've set QuickTime X to record with "maximum" quality. Change to "high" and the file size will shrink to around 10% of that amount. In fact, with simple voice recordings, maximum is usually overkill. However, I doubt that the maximum/high setting will have a dramatic effect on the resources needed to make the recording.
As far as backups, that voice recorder could save your bacon one day. If these Skype sessions can't be repeated, any backup system will be better than none. Most voice recorders these days have a USB port and sometimes an application that will allow you to transfer the recording to your computer. Even old voice recorders with only a headphone jack can be connected to your Mac via audio in for a "better than nothing" file.

I am going to Challenge my 3rd Endurance World Record "Unstoppable BMW Challenge" utilizing both the New Ipad and Iphone 4s and I want to ask how much Video recording space is used per minute on both the iphone4s and Ipad2 ?

Unstoppable BMW Challenge 2012
I dont yet own the Iphone 4s or the New Ipad hence the question. I would also like to ask what Iphone Apps would the community recommend as essential apps for a Herculeun Guinness World Record Challenge with a view to showcasing a video diary and picture diary whilst the challenge is underway.

Seems like you're just advertising and showing off rather than asking a question, but a 16 or 32 3GB iDevice would do for video recording.

Help me pick a new video recorder

I need a new video recorder. Please give me some suggestions in the $400-800 range. I have used a Hi-8 Sony, but the sound went, got old, etc.
My primary use will be videos taken for coaching and my family, which I will put into iMovie and eventually burn to DVD through iDVD. I have been using iMovie 4, but I will upgrade if that would be better. The coaching movies are about 25 minutes with many, many clips, as they are short highlights (2-10 seconds each).
I currently (and most likely for at least one more year) use an eMac 1.25 GHz G4 with 768 MB RAM and a superdrive.
So, give me some good options. I like having a decent screen (my current one is a whopping 3"), as I often show athletes their form during practice, although that is not my top priority.

Hi! Purds,
You didn't say where you were from. I had to purchase a new camera last semester and having no job, I had no money. I went to the WALMART Website and was able to find a good camera at the lowest price. (About $50 cheaper than I could find the camera anywhere else!) They shipped it right to my house within three day.
And make sure it has FireWire! Sony has their own version of FireWire, i.Link, but you have to make sure that you can get the proper cable to use on the Mac.
Always buy the best camera you can afford!

Continuous Video Recording

If I am continually recording a movie that goes longer than 29 minutes, will the T5i automatically start a new file, or will it just stop recording at 29 minutes (or 4GB)? I want to be able to record longer videos without having to stop and hit the Record button again. Let's just assume it's not overheating, and I have a freaking awesome storage card. If not the T5i, is there a camera that does this or is it just something I dreamed up...

It's a legal restriction.

Video recording issues (it jumps and the audio sto...

Dear Support team,
I was very satisfied with my phone for a couple of months but nowadays I've an annoying issue with the video recordings of my Nokia Lumia 920. I've noticed in the past few weeks that there's a "bleep" or a "jump" in each video I take. (Nokia Camera software, Lumia Black, RM-821_eu_hungary_434)
It's very dissapointing because every video is let's say faulty at some point of the video.
For example please take a look at the following video at 0:34 where not just the video "jumps" but the audio recording also stops for a couple of seconds:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD9R2x5Kx4c
The interesting thing is that during the next 21 minutes it did not make any mistakes while recording.
Please take a look at an another example at 3:31:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYQ5vNY-BUw
If you're interested in debugging the issue I can send you somehow (by FTP or so) the original files as well.
I have got more videos which are like this and it was shown like this on the phone's screen as well so I've ruled out the possibility to have an issue while transfering it to my PC.
I'm assuming that possibly there's something wrong with the Lumia 920's RAM memory or with the 32GB internal storage drive, e.g.: let's say bad sector like on hard drives.
The phone recently had it's first freezing while I was reading my facebook the phone suddenly went black and restarted.
I still have 1,5 year warranty on my phone but I've bought ~150 km far away so I hopeI won't need to travel there and wait for weeks and to travel there again to get my phone back! What do you suggest?
Is it possible that it's rather a software issue not a hardware? Or should I return my phone to the retail shop or is there any downloadable software patch to correct this issue? Is this a known issue to you?
I've noticed one more thing: when I'm using my phone for e.g. like 10 minutes it's back cover gets warmer and warmer somewhere around the camera; I thought first it's because of the higher processor and battery usage but I don't think it's normal. The "heat issue" is also present while playing with a game.
Info: my battery lasts for 1,5 day or so by very moderate usage, is it normal? (4 times a day wifi for 5-10 minutes, max. 1 pcs one minute call per day)
Thanks for your help in advance,
Best Regards

Hi All,
I'm shocked about this device as you know I was disappointed due to the video recording glitches previously, but what yesterday happened is the worst I could ever imagine: I've recorded 3 videos and from this 3 videos 2 are unplayable even on my phone and on my PC, it gives an error message: "The video failed to play".
The 2 files can't be seen in the camera roll only by using Pocket File Manager.
I was able to copy all files to my computer:
WP_20140802_21_16_58_Pro.mp4 - 661 203 084 bytes - playable
WP_20140802_21_22_19_Pro.mp4 - 3939 658 131 bytes - unplayable
WP_20140802_22_13_59_Pro.mp4 - 3235 991 965 bytes - unplayable
To me these 2 videos are really very important, please help me to recover them! Please tell me, how you want me to send the files as they're, ~4GB each, by using Onedrive or how?
If this issue won't be solved I'm considering NOT TO BUY a Nokia again! Can it be a hardware related issue, e.g. faulty internal flash? Should I return the phone to the retail shop?
Regards
Richard Mark NAGY
