Imovie with 2nd momitor

I have a 17" Apple CRT hooked up to my 15" PB in extended desktop mode. Is there any way of using one monitor to preview the movie while using the other to work, like FCP or an Avid?
PowerBook G4 1.25ghz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

no.
not that way. the consumer product iM displays "everything" in a single, solid window... you could "span" your desktop and enlarge that one window... but, ehmm... no, not really...-
in FC(E), the 3 main windows are sperate - you can easiely drag the preview window to some other display.... or arrange the many windows around a large desktop..
but.....
connecting your camera via firewire and hooking a TV to camera, it allows you in iM's preset a "live play out" (play trough? english...) of the project.
if you second display allows connection as "TV" (resolution, fps, connectors...) that is the only way....
helpful?

How can I create a file in iMovie with a lengthy audio file, but only 1 picture?

Let me state first off that I'm a blind user using the Voiceover screen-reader in OS X.
Now, I want to upload some audio to Youtube, but they do not allow simple MP3 files. As such, I want to create a file in iMovie with my audio and 1 picture to use as a visual. Within iMovie, I add my audio file, select a picture, but when I publish, the audio is cut off after only a few seconds. Can someone please explain how I can fix this issue so my entire audio clip will play?

iMovie is a visual medium, so you need to make the duration of your photo at least as long as your voiceover track. You should be able to double click on your photo and then enter a duration.
See iMovie Help at this link.

An MP3 file may work for you, but for best results, use a WAV or AIFF file (uncompressed). You can convert MP3 to AIFF in iTunes. Let me know if you need instructions.

Do you know of any kids games apps compatible with 2nd generation iPod?

Do you know of any kids games apps compatible with 2nd generation iPod? wanted to put some kids games on but they all say they are not supported by iOS 4.2.1. which is the latest ios it can be updated to. I get the message This app requires openGL ES 2.0 graphics capability. Can you tell me if there are any games I could download for him please?
If there aren't can you tell me if an ipod touch 3rd generation would be able to get alot of the current games like the lego ones and angry birds or which generation I would have to go to.
Many Thanks

- These sites allow you to filter searchs for those apps compatible with 4.2.1
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
- However, some apps currently in th app require a higer iOS version. But, as I posint out in my previous reply, Apple allows yo to downlod the last compatilbe version
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
I know of no list/seach method to find those apps

Numark im1 works with 2nd generation ipod touch can it be made to work with 4th generation

Numark im1 works with 2nd generation ipod touch can it be made to work with 4th generation

You neglected to mention that the Numark iM1 is a piece of hardware (a physical box) that plugs into an iPod.
Checking on the Numark website, I suspect they haven't bothered to update their "iPod compatibility" page, since there's no specific reason (as far as I'm aware) why an App that worked with a 2nd gen Touch shouldn't work with a 4th gen model. Is that page where you looked and were then prompted to ask your question?
You might have more success in finding an answer to your question by contatcing the manufacturer (Numark) via their website or checking with a retailer who stocks the iM1. Numark appear to welcome email contact about their products.

You Cannot Use This Version of iMovie With This Version of Mac OS X

+*Cannot Use This Version of iMovie With This Version of Mac OS X*+
Yes, I can. iMovie just doesn't want to cooperate. I checked the requirements, it says:
an Intel-based Mac, a Power Mac G5 with dual 2.0 GHz or faster processors, or an iMac G5 at 1.9 GHz or faster.
Well, I meet the requirements, I have an iMac G5 with 2.0 GHz, also with Leopard.
Why can't I use iMovie.

Oh, NVM I had to download the newest update!

I created a iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DVD RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

Probably because they don't accept that media.
Try using Verbatim DVD+DL (if your project exceeds 2 hours) or Verbatim DVD-R if it doesn't.

Hello, wonder if I can edit movies in iMovie with other cameras. For example: A camera of another brand, passing it to my PC and I could play in iPadm doing editing videos? thank you

Not sure what you mean. You can import video into I Movie either via your USB slot if it is already in digital format or via your fire wire slot (you may need an adapter as the MAC slot is a mini slot, the adapters are available on line) if you are coming from tape based media.

Nothing. The 2nd Gen Touch is OBSOLETE and is WAY past its support life. If you want to run the newer apps you have to buy a newer iPod.

Buring iMovie with iDVD

Hi
To little info to be able to suggest.
• What version of iMovie
• How did video play in iMovie - was it stabilized ?
• Recorded with what Camera eg Nikon D90 or miniDV tape Camera ?

Sharing iMovies with iDVD

On the older versions I was able to easily and quickly share my iMovie with iDVD - this version takes hours! Is there an easier way to send to iDVD?
Why is the rendering process so slow?
- James Canty: [email protected]

the newer version is therefore less user-friendly and more time consuming than the older version... who planned that?
Apple had found that many iLife users were not using iMovie, some would argue that iMovie 06 became "too good". Others will say that many of the features of iMovie 06 made it hard for beginners to learn, so iMovie 08 is usually easier for the absolute beginner.
I use both iMovie 06 and iMovie 08 (iMovie 06 about 90%, iMovie 08 about 10%).
Many reviews of iMovie 08 recommend using both iMovie 08 and iMovie 06.
I do find that iMovie 08 is "feature reduced" and not as DVD friendly compared to iMovie 06. iMovie 06 is "timeline based", iMovie 08 is "clip based". The lack of a true timeline in IM08 is hard to get used to for some.
iMovie 08 is NOT an upgrade of iMovie 06. It is a completely new application. iMovie 08 is better for absolute beginners that don't want to burn a DVD. Most others will like iMovie 06 for its far greater editing power and ease of making DVDs. (Like creating Chapter Markers and Share to iDVD.)
When iLife 08 is installed, all of the old applications are automatically deleted EXCEPT iMovie 06, because Apple WANTS you to have it.
iMovie 08 is a wonderful program assuming that you're using it for what it was designed to do, assemble simple videos to share on the Internet.
I find iMovie 06 to be easier and faster to use than iMovie 08 on longer jobs (more than 10 mins). iMovie 08 is faster for shorter jobs.
iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 is a terrific combination.
The Web site below has a good comparison of iMovie 08 and iMovie 06.

VCR - iMovie (with A - DV convertor) not importing

Relevant hardware/software: iMacG5, OS10.4.2, iMovie HD version 5.0.2, Hollywood DV-Bridge (made by Dazzle) to convert from analog -> DV.
Issue: Used to be able to import from VCR into iMovie with no problem. Used to work great! "Used to." Then lost power. I reconnected everything as before, but receiving "No Camera Attached" message in iMovie when trying to import.
What I've done: I've reconnected every cable. Turned on and off VCR, DV-Bridge. Used various channels (including L1 and L2) in VCR. Tried modes "Pass Through" and "A to D" in DV-Bridge. Rebooted iMac. Reinstalled iMovie. Still get "No Camera Attached" message in iMovie when I try to import.
What's happening now: The VCR and the DV-Bridge (A->DV convertor) seem to be working fine. I get green light on the DV-Bridge when playing VCR (as I'm supposed to), but still get "No Camera Attached" message in iMovie.
What am I missing? Is it something in iMovie (some setting perhaps)?
Please help! Thanks!

Can we import to imovie with usb connection rather than firewire??

Dear Friends,
I am considering purchasing a new movie camera JVC EVERIO GZ-MG50E - PAL system.
Unfortunately it has only a usb connection and not a firewire one.
I have been importing until now into imovie with firewire.
Will I be able to import to imovie with usb?
Will this require special software?
Hope you can help.
Thank you.

Hi Robert:
Consider not purchasing that camera for imovie use. You will need to convert the MPEG files to DV which imovie uses...kind of a pain actually.

Importing m2t into iMovie with only one conversion

Ok, so m2t files have been beaten to death in these forums, but I'm still puzzled. Here's my situation. I have a Canon HV20 and only replay the tape once to avoid wear and save time (really?). So I capture to m2ts. Fine. Now I'd like to be able to use these in iMovie with only one conversion. I can convert the stream to a framed (QT) format like AIC. But I'd like to do this just once. Meaning, when I convert clip.m2t to clip.mov I'd like to drag this to iMovie and have iMovie just "copy" an not import/convert. Can I convert to a format where I can just drag to the media folder in the given iMovie project?
For those watching. My toolchain is
1. rewind the tape
2. capture with HDVsplit (win), DVHScap (mac), or whatever
3. split/clip the m2t files with HDVsplit (win) or MPEGstremclip (mac/win), or HDVxDV (mac) and leave as m2t
4. convert the m2t clips I want in my movie to QT+AIC
5. import these QT+AIC .mov clips into iMovie
6. edit
I'd like to optimize 4 and 5. (And by the way, someone should port HDVsplit to mac.)
Thanks,
WL

MPEG Streamclip allows you to export as QuickTime with Apple Intermediate Codec (also QT Player can do this but I prefer MPEG Streamclip for these tasks). I think you should set the resolution to 1440x1080 because that's what iMovie uses internally for 1080i.
I did a quick test and iMovie seems to accept such AIC-encoded .mov files directly to its Media folder. But run some tests through your complete workflow before trusting this will work!
Ok this was helpful. If I take 1440x1080 QT/AIC output from MPEGstreamclip, I can efficiently copy the file in the project. Works like a charm and looks great in iMovie. (I can also now take the 1920x1080 QT/AIC output from streamclip and do the same; not sure what change there. I did a test on a 1:24 length mpeg-2 stream. The 1440x1080 with and without deinterlacing were 700MB and 600MB respectively, while the 1920x1080 is at 800MB. So it makes sense to do 1440x1080 since iMovie handles it fine.)
In summary (hope this helps someone), here's what I do:
0a. Macbook with iMovie HD
0b. LaCie macos formated external drive drive (hfs+)
0c. Canon HV20 filmed at 1080i (not sure what do with the 24p cinemode)
1. use DVHScap (mac) to capture the stream from the HV20. This gives file.m2t, for example. This can be viewed with VLC, for example. (on windows use HDVsplit to capture). Copy the m2t file to the external drive.
2. now use MPEGstreamclip to disect the m2t file. use the 'i' and 'o' to mark inputs and outputs and then "save as". Save this as file_clip.ts for example. The .ts is the same as an .m2t file, so save it as either.
3. now you should have 1 or more file_clip.ts depending on how many times you do step 1 and 2.
4. use MPEGstreamclip in batch mode to take the file_clip.ts or m2t files and "export to Quicktime". Select Apple Intermediate Codec as the type compression type. Yank the quality up to 100%. Select 1400x1080 (4:3) as the frame size and click "deinterlace video" (my opinion on the deinterlacing). Save the movie on the external drive as file_clip.mov.
5. now start a new iMovie HD project and save the project to the external drive. Quit iMovie. open-apple-click on the myproject.iMovieProject to "show package contents". After this you can move your file_clip.mov files to the media directory under this package. A move is best since copy does an actual copy. Move just moves a pointer.
6. start up iMovie and view the trash can when prompted ("Some stray files were found in the project...."). Now drag the trash files to the clips area in iMovie.
7. now edit.
This is a nice approach for a couple of reasons. The .m2t files are great storage formats. The conversion from mpeg-2 stream (m2t) to a framed format like QT+AIC (mov) is done +only once+. And the quality is maintained. Also, I can do this all to an external harddrive, which is nice since I'm limited on my macbook.
I don't have HD gear. Currently I archive SD DV to tape and to big harddisks. In the future I would like to continue to archive HD content in its native compressed (non-AIC) form. Obviously this works via DVHScap, right?
Yes. The m2t files are a great archival format. The 1:25 long clip above was only 275MB while the framed formats were 3 times that. The stream saves differences so it's a lot more efficient (but you don't have frames for editing). VLC is also quick as quick for viewing these. DVHScap never drops any packets (mpeg-2) when capture (for me at least). HDVsplit is also great, but only for windows. HDVxDX also worked like a charm.
Well anyway, thanks for the chatter.

IMovie with only still photos - huge projection

I am creating an iMovie with nothing but still photographs which will be projected with good equipment for a full school gathering, meaning a pretty large to very large screen - my only experience has been DVD's for regular TV's.
My question is to get the best quality, what is the best format for photos - I did see someone said to take them into iPhoto(?) covert them to TIFF then save them to JPEG/RGB, I retouch all of these in Photoshop and will likely do my resizing and formats there...
So any thoughts on resolution and size? Should it fit a tv ratio? I foget what that is, but it would be nice to see explained by pixel dimensions!
I am a bit confused about the iPhoto or iDVD difference? My other problem is burning the dvd's now - my 17" took a dive and this iBook does not have a superdrive - do the older Lacie's work with DVD's... I am doubting so.
This will be a sorry excuse to break down and buy an intel, I am going through PowerBooks like candy
Thanks tons!

overall pixel size: 740x480 at 72dpi is the smallest size I would personally ever go with. The internal mike in a quiet room (like late at night with the refrigerator and the phone unplugged) is something that I have done under emergency conditions. If you are experimenting you have:
iMovie ... which I have difficulties recording with ... for me it quits too soon...maybe I'm not being loud enough..maybe my movies are too long and I'm running out of ram. I don't know.
QuickTime Pro works pretty good to record sound using your computer's internal mike
Garageband does a pretty good job of processing the voice by way of recording through the internal mike. That's what I've been using nowadays because it sounds so much better than iMovie or QTPro. Then you export it to iTunes then import it into iMovie. Real easy. It's a snap to do. Since you are wanting to record a cassette tape, I'd try all three ways to see if they do the job. If so, good. If not there are other kinds of ways to capture the sound. But then you go to the Garageband threads and see what's what there. One way or another, you'll get it. Maybe not instantly, but you will get it.
Again it's all experimental and how professional you want to be. Recording from you computer is not at all going to give a professional result. Especially of a cassette tape, because it can pick up the sound of the machine playing the tape. But, if you want to make a memory movie, it barely makes do. Making do isn't always the best way to go. But might be the only way you can go because of other limitations...of which I have plenty.
You really, really need to experiment to see how it looks...how it sounds. What works. What does not work. Especially with sound can be a stickler. A plague of a problem even. Even so, I made something not too long ago that I recorded via the computer's internal mike and tried it first in the bathroom...WAY too much sound bouncing off the walls there. The living room was picking up who knows what. But I went into the bedroom and it worked kind of okay in there. But it still didn't sound at all in the least bit professional. Even so, it did work for that particular project. In a quirky weird kind of way that I MADE it work.

As to iPhoto
Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
For iMovie support please post in the iMovie forum
