IMovie will not read .mov made in keynote

I've been working on a presentation in Keynote and exported it to a .mov file. The file had some audio problems, so I was going to fix it in iMovie. When I tried to import, the file was not available for me to click on for importing. So I'm stuck.
Keynote 08, iMovie 08, Mac OS X 10.5.5.

I've been working on a presentation in Keynote and exported it to a .mov file.
An MOV file is simply an MOV file container with up to 99 tracks of various types of data in compatible compression formats -- not a compression format itself. Since iMovie '08 is "content conscious." it's ability to import/edit files depends on the specific type of data/compression format you are trying to import. Therefore, to know why a particular file will not import you will have to examine the specific content of each track and determine problem tracks and either eliminate theme or convert them to something that iMovie '08 will accept/be able to edit. (I.e., iMovie '08 will only import/edit specific audio/video compression formats and will not import files with superfluous tracks like "Tween" or "Chapter" tracks.)
NOTE: If all you want to do is correct audio problems, GarageBand would likely be the better editor here since it does not have iMovie '08's import/edit limitations and is an application designed more specifically for audio editing.

I have produced DVD using iMovie, now want to download this back to iMovie, will not read DVD, have been told a piece of software available - any chance anybody knows what?

Handbrake is not ideal for this.
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

I purchased a new iMac with latest iLife suite, however, IMovie will not read my videos. I deleted a 3iVX file that was not working but nothing happens now. Help

I just purchased a new iMac with the latest iLife suite. As part of the migration process in setting up the new machine the 3Ivx video codec was brought onto the new machine as well as my old movies. When I tried opening the movies iMovie crashed and told me it had a problem with the 3IVX video codec, in doing some research I found that the 3IVX video codec created a problem so I deleted it and downloaded Perian 123. The Perian 123 works well with Quicktime but iMove does not now see my old movies. At this point I cannot open any of my movies. Can anyone help? Thanks

There also might be a more updated, compatible 3ivx codec you can install, or just try re-installing a newly downloaded version of of the same old codec: http://www.3ivx.com/download/macos.html
Otherwise download and install MPEG Streamclip: http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
In iMovie hold down CTRL and click on the clips that don't open. Choose Reveal in Finder. Convert those files by dragging them into the window of converter program, and save as Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC). That format is native to iMovie and will work perfectly.

HT1349 Updated my operating system to Mountain Lion and iMovie will not play movies developed through the old iMovie HD program. Any idea how to convert the movies or buy an app that will do that.

Having trouble converting iMovieHD to the new updated iMovie dowloaded with Mountain Lion. Any ideas

Given the extreme limitations outlined in the article Allen linked to, and given thst iMovie HD 6 is known to work with Mountain Lion, you might be better served by installing iMovie 6 on your Mac.
You can still keep iMovie 11 as well:
Happily this is easily achieved, but it has to be done backwards.
Delete iMovie 11 (just drag it to the trash). Now install iMovie 6 from the iLife 6 install disks. Update it to iMovie 6.0.3.
Now re-install iMovie 11. This automatically moves iMovie 6 into a folder it creates in your Applications folder called iMovie Previous Version.
Then reinstall iMovie 11.
iMovie 6 works great with iDVD 7.
Now you have them both, and you can have both in the Dock as well.

Flash movies made in keynote are not working in firefox

I have just finished a 65 page iwebsite at
www.acendedmasterscards.com
it is a card reading with a flash movie - made in
keynote for each card. It looks beautiful in
Safari but in firefox I get a blank white bit
instead of the movie. Help! I would also love
comments on the site! Karen.

I join in the other's congratulations as your site is wonderful. I really enjoy it and I have bookmarked it that I too can post a link to it when I get to an appropriate place in my web building. I will inform you of it.
I really like what you did with flash and I was trying to do something similar using keynote but I was exporting to a podcast instead of flash and it was never working right. I now thanks to you might try to do it in flash.
As far as the other browsers are concerned you might ask the question on the keynote forum as well perhaps one of the experts there will have another idea as to why it does not work. In the mean time keep positive thoughts and perhaps safari will become the new ie since it has been released to windows.
Thanks for sharing

Imovie will not let me load a movie to You Tube error message say wrong user name and password when it is right

imovie will not let me load a movie to You Tube. The error message from imovie says it is the wrong password and user name. I rechecked it and it is right.

It can be tricky sometimes. Go to your youtube account in Safari and try logging in. They might have changed the security requirements. In addition, you might find this software easier to use for uploading video to youtube.

IMovie for my iPad and iPhone will not export movies how do I fix this?

iMovie for my iPad and iPhone will not export movies how do I fix this?

Same here. Have exported a handful of movies before..faced this issue for the first time a few days ago. What footage are you trying to edit and export? (E.g. Shot with camera app, other social media apps like Snapchat, Vine, Instagram?)
I did some troubleshooting..
I was putting together all saved videos from Snapchat.. no luck. Export screen comes up, but progress bar doesn't move.
Mixed some footage in there shot with actual iPhone camera app.. no luck.
Removed all Snapchat footage.. it worked straight away.
BUT ... it would make sense if I didn't just compile a bunch of Snapchat vids a few weeks ago and export them just fine?
So it's something to do with the actual footage I assume?

I have downloaded footage from a Sony Z1 on to a hard drive which I've put on to my Mac Book Pro and it will not read in iMovie. Can somebody help me?

I shot three video clips on a Sony Z1 camera. As I only had the cable to plug it in to my PC, I uploaded the footage on to the PC and then copied it on to my hard drive. I then put the hard drive into my MacBook Pro so that I could continue to edit it on there, however it will not read the files. The audio is WAV and the video footage has come up as M2V files. I need to be able to import it in to iMovie to edit however it is not letting me do so.
Is it because they are M2V's or do I need to upload the footage directly on to the MacBook and not on to a PC first?
If anyone could help, it would be massively appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Mollie

TS3695 Imovie will not allow me to export my movie to Vimeo?

Imovie will not allow me to export my movie to Vimeo because it is bigger than 500mb even though I have Vimeo Plus! Is there any solution?

don't think so...I just posted the same question...seems to be a major glitch on Apple's part

IMovie will not recognise my SD card?

I'm trying to import movie files into iMovie using the built in card reader on my iMac. The card is recognised in finder windows and on the desktop however when trying to import on iMovie the only thing to import seems to be via the facetime camera.
Is there any way of solving this?
Regards

If I have a card that iMovie will not recognize, even to make a camera archive, then I would suggest using Disk Utility to make a disk image of the card.
First I would insert the card and examine it in the Finder. See how much space is utilized on the card. You will want to make your disk image that size - but slightly larger.
Open Disk Utiltiy
Click "New Image" on the top bar of Disk Utility.
Give the disk image a name in the Save As box.
Also, Give a name in the Disk Image box.
For Size, Choose Custom, and enter a size large enough to hold the contents of your card. (which you found out above).
For Format, leave it as Mac OS Extended (journaled)
For Partitions, leave it as Single Partition. (Can be Apple Partition Map, GUID, etc.)
For Image Format, choose Read/Write Disk Image.
Now click Create.
You should now have an empty Disk Image that is large enough to contain your card.
Mount the Disk Image and use the Finder to copy the entire contents of the SD card to the Disk Image.
Now, you can eject the card. Open iMovie and import from the Disk Image using FILE/IMPORT FROM CAMERA. If the Finder could read the card, chances are this will work. A mounted Disk Image should look identical to the camera card, but now it is no longer FAT32.
If it still will not work, you can fall back on some of the tools that can read MTS files like ClipWrap or Voltaic HD. I am told there are free tools, but I do not have experience with them.

IMovie will NOT let me add any video! Help!

I just need to edit an avi, and iMovie will NOT allow me to add any video footage any way I attempt to.
It says drag media here-- won't let me.
I use import movie from file-- it says it's doing it, but it doesn't.
What is going on with this program??
The ONLY footage I've been able to add is when it pops up my laptop's camera and I capture that way. I've got the file on my computer already.
Somebody please help me.

iMovie '08 will only allow you to to import files containing compression formats that can be edited. If you 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. For audio this may include DV, AIFF, AAC, Unsigned Integer, Uncompressed, etc. This means that files with adaptive PCM (ADPCM) -- a very common AVI audio compression format for digital cameras -- will not import.
The ONLY footage I've been able to add is when it pops up my laptop's camera and I capture that way. I've got the file on my computer already.
Files imported directly from a video camcorder is automatically converted to "edit" compatible compression formats using non-QT routines built into the iMovie '08 application. Files already on your hard drive are brought in (imported) via the Finder and as such, bypass the special camcorder routines since the application assumes you will only import files that are edit compatible "natively" -- i.e., are in the compression format in which you actually want to do your editing. (For example, a person who wants to edit in DV would likely be upset if the application switched to M-JPEG or MPEG-4 editing behind the user's back for some reason.)

My Mac Mini will not read TDK disks from my iMac G3.

My Mac Mini will not read TDK disks from my iMac G3.
I used an iMac G3 (2001) -- the ones that looked like a big pod -- running on OS X and saved files to TDK CD-R, 700 MB disks, which worked fine. Now that I have a Mac Mini (model number A1347) I cannot get this computer to read those disks, made on the iMac G3. Once inserted each disk will open and I can retrieve files for a short period, then the problems start. The computer makes some noises, the beach-ball/pinwheel goes around and I cannot get the files to open or the disk to eject. After a while the disk does eject -- to my relief. I keep using Control+E until ejection happens.
My Mac Mini (2010-2011) is hooked up to a View Sonic HDMI LED monitor, an iOmega external hard-drive for backing up, an Epson Stylus C88 Plus printer and to the internet by a fibre 10MB feed. The Mac Mini runs on OS X version 10.6.8 Snow Leopard: Processor Speed:2.66 GHz
I took the Mac Mini to an Apple retailer and he hooked the computer up to one of his monitors and it read the TDK disks just fine. I am now using Sony CD-RW, 700 MB disks, but I would prefer to use my TDKs because I have such a large pile of blank ones to use and there are those TDK disks with information that I want to look at from time to time. Can anyone tell me what to do?

Try disconnecting everything attached to the Mini except the monitor.
If that doesn't work, try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later. If successful, copy the files to the original account Public/Dropbox.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

IMovie will not import or play the clips at the proper speed and the audio and video do not match up.

i have a samsung hd camcorder. it records at 40 fps, but iMovie will not play the clips at the proper speed and the audio and video do not match up. I have tried to record at standard quality to no avail. Help. thanks in advance.

samsung sc-hmx10c ntsc
im guessing that is the speed it records at due to the fact imovie puts a blue 40 at the top left corner of every clip i import.
