IMovie will not upload my video

I click import and I select the movie but it will not upload. It lets my select it and press import, but nothing happens. I also tried dragging the video into the event, but it doesn't do anything. The sign shows up, but it doesn't do anything.

Me too - iMovie video, uploaded over 6 months ago to My Gallery, accessed via Safari 4.0 on my MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, is displayed on the screen with the Apple equivalent of the Microsoft spinning hour-glass (you know, the clockwise tick thing) with a question mark sat in the middle of it all. And the video completely refuses to play. It used to play last year... Oddly, the video next to it plays fine.
I know it's an Apple (Snow) Leopard Safari problem because the video plays fine when I use Firefox on the same MacBook Pro. And it plays fine with Safari on my Windows laptop from work. I have even tried uninstalling Apple Safari (drag and drop to the Trash) and then reinstalling. I've got to the point where I'm thinking of dropping Safari altogether, even if it does have nice MobileMe sync settings...
Come on Apple, what's the craic here?

IMovie WILL NOT upload to iCloud Drive

For some reason my iMovie App on my Macbook will not upload the videos to the cloud. I make a lot of videos for myself, my friends and for youtube, and i really need them to backup and they won't show up in iCloud Drive. I have checked the iCloud Drive settings and iMovie is checked and I have tried uploading it through the iMovie folder in iCloud website in the iDrive files and it won't work because it says the files must be in a format iMovie can open. I have also tried doing it through the iDrive folders on my Macbook and it still won't work. What is going on? Is my macbook broken, or something?

Looks like this has been solved by yesterdays IOS8 update - thanks!

IMovie will not upload to Vimeo

I use iMovie to upload to YouTube all the time and it has always worked great. I noticed that the new version of iMovie has the ability also to upload to Vimeo. I have a Vimeo account so I chose the upload to Vimeo option and entered in my password, but nothing happened. IMovie didn’t give me either a progress bar or an error message. It just didn’t do anything. I checked my password to make sure it is correct. I do not understand why iMovie will not upload to Vimeo. How do I fix this?

I had the same problem. Looks like iMovie doesn't give any feedback when the login to Vimeo fails.
The most likely problem is that your "vimeo user account name" is *not* your full name (say "Marc-André Lafortune"), but your "shortcut url" (in my case "malafortune"). You can set this in vimeo by using this link: http://vimeo.com/settings/shortcut
This is what you must enter when you setup your account in iMovie. If that is correct and your password is good too, you will see a progress bar after the login is successful (2-3 seconds).
HTH
If anyone from Apple is reading this: iMovie should be fixed by
1) giving feedback when login fails
2) ideally change "user account name" for "shortcut URL" or similar, with a popup like "what is this?"
3) only accept the characters that are accepted by Vimeo for the shortcut URL (letters and numbers, no spaces, etc...)

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.

IMovie will not show the video playing during editing

Does anyone know the maximum size of the total clips, still photos and transitions for iMovie? I suspect that may be why when I am trying to edit the iMovie project I hit the space bar to play and only the sound plays. The video does not move.

Hi
A. How much free space is there on Your - Start-Up (Macintosh HD) Hard disk ?
The movie in Your Camera / Stored on Your Mac (from Camera) - is very Compressed.
For iMovie (or FinalCut) it has to be in an Editable format - and this is massively LARGER
I've movies on 500Mb when un-folder are 50Gb or even more.
B. Is there other external Hard Disks connected ?
How are it / they formatted - HAS TO BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) to work for VIDEO
UNIX / DOS / FAT32 / Mac OS Exchange - Works for most other things but not for VIDEO

Look for iMovie and turn it ON

My videos will not upload to my macbook pr

I have a Sony handy cam. It will upload my pictures but it will not upload my videos from the same camcorder.I connect it with a USB cable. DOes anyone know why this is happening?

Check the CD that came with the camera or Sony's device support area for some drivers/software that may better interact with the camera. Outside of loading up Image Capture (native OS X applciation), I would try Sony's own software.

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.

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.)

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 11 not uploading to youtube

Edit a video in iMovie 11, as I have always done. Current upload to YOUTUBE continues to lose connection to server. My internet connection is running correctly. I have uploaded videos directly to youtube via the site with no problems to test if there was a connection to server issue as well.
I tried to upload video to via the youtube site and it stops uploading around 60%. Mind you I DID upload this same video 3 days ago after trying 13 times via the youtube site. I had to take it down because I accidently allowed youtube to do one of the "fixes" to my videdo and it ruined it and I was able to unapply it.
So 3 days later my video will NOT upload via iMovie 11 or directly from the site.
The file is only 312.1 MB and the format is .mov
So not sure why I am having issues.

I think this may be the quickest workaround:
Go to Share Menu > Export Movie... (set it to 720p) and save it to the Desktop
Open the YouTube website in your favorite web browser, login to your account.
Go to the YouTube upload page, and have it upload the video fromo your Desktop
The beauty of this versus the iMovie upload is the status messages are a little more reassuring as it progresses. I always feel like I know how much longer I need to wait. And then at the end it gives you the URL to see the video after it post-processes the whole thing. So publishing direct, will get around this problem.
As for the problem, itself. I've ready many people's posts to the iMovie Discussion group with a similar YouTube upload from iMovie problem. No one to my recollection has written back with a description of a fix for this. Some people couldn't login to YouTube at all through iMovie it wouldn't accept their credentials. That was fixed by using the correct username for the YouTube account after Google took them over (some people had a username, other used an email address for their username). It sounds more like the upload is failing than the username and password not being accepted. So I would just do the workaround unless you wanted to test iMovie again in the future to see if it suddenly starts working again.

Widget Spry ImageSlide show will not upload - error message

I'm attempting to update our webpage (tcmfellowship.org) with a video and slideshow. The video works but I receive an error message when attemping to upload Spry Image Slide Show. The error messages are below. The photos will not upload either but I assume that is because the Spry Slide Show is not on the site.

Dear community, what to do when iMovie does not automatically updates video from iPhoto. I've closed and reopen, restarted... still no good

Dear community, what to do when iMovie does not automatically updates video from my iPhoto. Usually it will automatically generate new content, but now it's stuck 3 days behind the latest new iPhoto entries... I've restarted all programs, restarted the computer... what else?

Ezy,
I'm not sure what recourse you really have. My expectation would be that Apple is on the hook to warranty your computer, but they only warrant the machine you've got.
The issue of exchange is fully in the hands of the dealer. If it were Apple, they would likely have had a longer return/exchange period (2 weeks is standard in the US, and I think they use the same timeframe internationally), and there have been some reports of people getting machines exchanged even if they were just outside the 2-week period.
However, with Apple dealers, I think they are a little more concerned about old inventory. Who knows what Apple does when you give them back a last-gen Macbook. They probably sell it at a markdown, but even marked down, they still get a profit (most likely). When an authorized reseller gets stuck with an old machine, they probably have to sell it at a loss. Thus, I would expect resellers to be more afraid of holding onto discontinued models.
That said, if they do a lot of business, they should appreciate the value of customer loyalty: it's usually better to lose money on one purchase than lose a customer (and all their future purchases). If you're a regular customer there, you could point out that disappointment could cause you to go to a competitor. That's playing a bit of hardball though.
However, there is maybe an upshot to all of this... The new 13" model did not get the quad-core CPU's.. And it lost its dedicated graphics adapter. I've seen a decent number of people complaining that the new 13" model is worse than the previous one (the one I'm assuming you've gotten). So it might not be such a bad thing after all.

HT2731 My Apple TV will not upload a movie

My Apple TV will not upload a movie What is wrong

1st of all ripping DVDs is illegal in the US (where this forum is hosted) so i would suggest you not talk directly about ripping DVDs and speak in just general terms of you files if you don't want to get your post deleted..
there might be few reasons why you get that message
1) there is more to the file than just it's format.. it must also be within certain parameters to be played on appleTV... to facilitate streaming appleTV limits the size of the file and it data rate, frame rate, resolution, codec, codec profiles etc(see below). software usually have an appleTV setting.. it is usually best just to use that setting and not futz around with your own custom settings unless you know what you're doing
*Video formats supported*
*H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store):* Up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
*iTunes Store purchased video:* 320 by 240 pixels, 640 by 480 pixels, 720 by 480 pixels (anamorphic), or high-definition 720p
MPEG-4: Up to 3 Mbps, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 720 by 432 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
2) that message also appears if you are streaming for some reason you have lost connectivity to your computer.. network interference, computer goes to sleep or turned off, iTunes is closed etc.
3) could be caused by the file becoming corrupted, HDD corruption etc..
