IMovieHD to Quicktime

Hi is it possible to transfer an iMovie with sound and images to Quicktime.I have the pro version.Using Powermac G5

Yes.
In the file menu you'll see 'Share'. Click on the Quicktime and choose your brand of compression, depending on your needs.
Good luck and welcome to the discussions!

  • Seemingly Simple

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a seemingly simple effect in Motion and having some trouble.
    I am trying to do a simple zoom out from a "fill screen" (text size fills screen) to a hault and then slow crawl (text fills screen, slams to a smaller size and then slowly crawls backward). This is pretty much a standard title animation seen on various trailers.
    The preset behaviors and text animations in Motion aren't getting the result I want, so I decided to keyframe the animation...perhaps a bad idea. In LiveType, it is a simple matter of adding a new effect, and keyframing the scale. Everything stays center and flows well; nobody gets hurt.
    In Motion, I've tried keyframing scale and size, both affect the position of the text on the X axis. In order to have the text fill the screen on the first frame, I have to change its position along the X axis. Then, to make sure it is center by the "slam" frame, I have to keyframe the X axis. This sounds so simple and nothing should go wrong, however the X axis sort of "juggles" the text back and forth creating a sort of swoop from one side to the other. Even stranger, the X axis values do not fluctuate, they continue diminish, so I cannot isolate what is creating the swoop (I do have a number of filters, however). This sound familiar to anyone?
    I've even tried keyframing the position the whole way, but it doesn't work. Plus, the text is sort of crawling back to the side, favoring the left side of the screen (moving from right to left), not center. I don't have any Motion manuals because I did the Universal upgrade deal, so I am a little lost.
    Any help is, of course, greatly appreciated!
    Thanks In Advance!

    It can be rather simple, if you will do your pan and zoom in Still Life, a very inexpensive and capable program, AND then bring that footage into Motion for whatever you want to do with it in special effects, etc. Of course, you must export from Still Life in iMovieHD or QuickTime before coming into Motion. It worked for me. Of course, there may be complications for you, of which I am unaware.

  • How are the latest updates working???

    Hi
    Been away for a while and notice that my trusty Apple System Update is suggesting some changes to iDVD, iPhoto, iMovieHD and Quicktime. Last time I took the plunge blindfolded, my iLife was a disaster (summer 06...). How is the current suite working? I have another project to do. Should I upgrade? The suite from the last upgrade seems to be "happy".
    cheers

    Hi t
    If You have a working environment that works - why risk it ?
    There has been some problems regarding iDVD 6.0.3 but if I understands it
    right then this depends on miss matching with other programs eg. OS and QT.
    So it seems as if OS is up to X.4.8 and QT to 7.1.3 it should work that said
    if repair permissions has been run before + after updating.
    Running repair hard disk (Apple disk util tool) from CD or ext hd from time to
    another is also a good habit.

  • Quicktime 7.1.6 broke my iMovieHD?!?

    I applied the Quicktime 7.1.6 update a few days ago and ran into a weird problem with iMovieHD. I can build a movie okay and play it but, as soon as I click the "chapters" button to edit my movie, the video stops playing. The sound is fine but whatever frame happened to be displaying when I hit "chapters" is the only one that will show, no matter how I move the scrubber. If I save and reopen, it's fine, even showing the chapter marker I'd last entered. However, as soon as I hit "chapters" again, it stops playing again.
    I've done the usual things with permissions and plists and nothing helped. The QT update was the only thing that changed between imovie working and failing.
    I signed on as a different user and had the same problem, so it's not a local setting. I then booted off a different disc with only vanilla OSx 10.4.9 on it, WITHOUT the QT update. I ran imovie from my normal drive and was able to edit the previously-failing movie just fine. That seems to eliminate the file, application and everything but the QT update from the equation.
    And then, being the ex-software-geek I am, I applied the QT 7.1.6 update to that alternate system and tried imovie again. As I'd expected, it failed just as before.
    So...any ideas? Thanks.
    Meanwhile, how do I remove QT 7.1.6 from my main system so I can work from there? Apparently it's not safe to just delete everything that looks like a QT-related file and then apply the 7.1.5 updater. (Heh....)

    I have never tried this, but...
    How to downgrade QT?
    Solution
    This is how you can downgrade QuickTime 7.1.6 to version 7.1.5:
    1. Download Quicktime 7.1.5 installer:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime715formac.html
    2. Mount the installer package. This is very important.
    3. Download and install Pacifist from this location:
    http://www.charlessoft.com/
    4. Run Pacifist. In its dialog press the "Open Package" button. Browse for the .PKG file in the mounted package. In the appearing list Right Click on the .PKG and from the context menu choose "Install To Default Location". Please note that if you mistakenly select the unmounted .DMG file into Pacifist instead of the PKG, there will be an installation but without an effect.
    5. Check in the "User Administrator Privileges" checkbox. Press Install.
    6. When asked tell the installer to replace the already existing files. Do this with all the files.
    7. When the install process is finished restart the computer.
    8. Run the QuickTime 7.1.5 installer package again WITHOUT Pacifist and let it install the files again.
    9. Restart the computer

    You're probably already doing this but be sure that the Flash original files are the same image size and run at the same frame rate as the video that you want to edit into. When you export from Flash as Quicktime use the Apple none compression option. This will give you the best possible file to work with. If you don't see the none compression option you can follow this set of instructions: missing "none" compression in Quicktime 7.6.6 p... | Apple Support Communities

  • Importing Quicktime .move file into iMovieHD

    I have been successfully pulling the files off a DVD using DVDxDV, and using that to export to Quicktime in .mov NTSC format. Then I can import into iMovie HD. It's been fine, but I have one file now that will not import. When i try to import it, it gives me an error message and says there isn't enough disk space to import it. But I was able to import other files, same size, and the window at the bottom of iMovie says there is more than 20 GB available. I thought maybe there was something wrong with that one file, so I went through the extraction process again, but that one file will still not import, even if I start a new empty project. The file is 1.4 GB, but the project has only about 25 minutes of video and this new file is about another 8 minutes.
    Does anyone have any ideas? I have a 1GHZ Power PC G4, with 768 meg ram.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    if it is already in DV format you really do not have to import it
    There is a difference in .dv stream and a DV-encoded .mov:
    You can just put a plain .dv stream in the Media folder and iMovie will digest it OK (if it is the same PAL/NTSC and 4:3/16:9 spec as the receiving project).
    But this doesn't work with DV-encoded .mov files which the OP may have. iMovie HD will sort of imports it, but if you add a title, it will have bad artifacts.
    I prefer to use MPEG Streamclip which, unlike some of its rivals, allows to convert DVD/VOB/MPEG to .dv stream which is iMovie's native format. For some strange reason other apps can convert to only .mov.
    My only gripes with MPEG Streamclip are that the current version can't set the 4:3 or 16:9 flag to the exported .dv file (BTW, iMovie HD can't either!) and that it doesn't recognize QuickTime 7-style AIF format. The next version might fix these.

  • When trying to convert quicktime mpg video files to m4v I am unable to open them or lose the audio completely. How can I fix this?

    So I am in nursing school and am making a group project that involves interviews of current RN's. I've been tasked with putting the video together from all the clips, even though I don't really have any experience with iMovie or iMovieHD (both of which I have on my MacBookPro). One of the interviews was recorded on what I think must have been some kind of Sony camera (I can find out if this is important), but I got the files off of a flash drive that my group member gave me. The files all opened in quicktime with no problem with complete audio and video, but when I tried to open it in either iMovie or iMovieHD it stated it could not "parse" the file (in HD) or just simply did not open (in regular iMovie). I'll have to learn the program either way but have been messing around with iMovieHD more so I would prefer to use this if I can. How can I convert the MPG files to m4v and still retain the audio part of the video? I've tried loading it into iPhoto and they won't load. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated since I'm running out of time to put this video together! Thanks!!

    Hi Grace,
    The free app MPEG Streamclip may be able to convert the file to a more suitable format. It can be downloaded from the developer's site here:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Here's a User Tip by AppleMan1958 that provides some more information about MPEG Streamclip (it's about importing homemade DVDs, but similar principles apply):

  • Importing imovie08 project to imovieHD

    Hi does anyone know how to import an imovie 08 project into imovieHD?
    I copied my 08 project on to a jump drive but when I put in onto my laptop (which has imovie HD) and try to import it, it shows a folder with a bunch of exe files.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

  • How can I save finished and shared movies from old iMovieHD-projects

    Hi there, I have a big problem:
    I have found some old iMovieHD 6 Projects. (.iMovieProject) that already have been finished years ago.
    Now I would like to save the finished movies outside the projects but I can't find a way to do this although I've been searching in the www for hours.
    When I go to the folder 'shared movies' I find a small .mov file - it's only some KB big.
    I can start this and the movie plays with no problem im QuickTime Player 7, the quality ist quite ok - original films were .DV from a camcorder.
    When I use iDVD I can take this movie without problems and burn it as DVD or .img on my hard disk.
    In this .img I can find the folder VIDEO-TS where I can find the movie al .VOB. But the Quality is really awful.
    How can I save the finished movie right out of the folder 'shared movies' in the best quality, maybe as .mov or other ?
    I can't install iMovieHD 6.0.3 because my old iLive install-DVD was sold with my old macbook years ago and I don't know if it would work  anyway on Mavericks 10.9.5
    Now I have iMovie 10 and 11. Importing the old projects would not solve the problem because only the original clips were imported, not the project itself.
    Would be QuickTime Pro a solution ? There are items like 'save as' or 'export' but I don't know if it works with this kind of files...

    Save the clips as Quicktime files (full quality), then you can import them into later versions of iMovie. An iMovie 6 project would not be compatible with recent versions of iMovie.

  • Can't import to external FW HD from camcorder with iMovieHD

    Hi all,
    Ever since I upgraded from iLife04 to iLife05, I've had problems importing movies from my camcorder into my PB.
    After doing numerous "do this trick" fixes, I finally got it to work reliably... as long as I do not have any other FW connected to the PB!!!
    my internal HD is full (don't have free 13G space on my internal HD where I can dump 60min .dv file), so I cannot just keep importing into internal HD without shuffling several Gb worth of files back and forth between the PB and the external. Camcorder is connected to the FW400 port, and the external LaCie drive is connected to teh FW800 port (HD has its own power source, so the FW800 port is not driving current to the external HD. just data connection).
    with the FW800 HD connected, iMovie HD croaks upon trying to import movie--usually after about 1second of import, it loses the image even if the camcorder keeps playing. and all the control button stops working. usually requires "kill -9" command from the terminal and a reboot to get iMovieHD working again. Sometimes after about 10min after I hit the iMovie "stop" button, it might finally stop and show "camera not connected". basically, iMovie malfunctions badly.
    now, with the exact same setup (FW800 external HD, FW400 camcorder) worked just fine using iLife04/iMovie4. So for now, I've been working around by booting up in a differnet partition with iLife04, import movie, then reboot into the main partition, and edit using iMovieHD. very painful.
    any insight on this? is one of my FW ports fried? I've tried different cables, etc.. no luck. I have also checked to make sure the firmware on LaCie is the most recent.
    all this happens with various flavors of Tiger OS. haven't tried installing iLife05 on my Panther partition (may be I should try).

    Hi,
    I'm a UNIX sys admin in other systems (SunOS, HPUX, etc) so UNIX is rather second nature to me. Been using UNIX since '85, Macs since '90 (forced to use Windoze in '97, and hating every moment of it). When MacOS merged with UNIX, I was mighty happy
    as for the OS build, I do an archive-and-install prior to OS updates (I usually accumulate two updates before I do archive-install), to wipe out any accumulated garbage that may taint the OS (you dont' want to be doing this with other UNIX OS, but MacOS makes it easy). This is easy for me to do also, since I don't really install any system enhancement apps much so reconfiguring it back to what it was before doesn't take all that much time. Latest update that went through this archive-and-install is to 10.4.5. Haven't installed the latest security updates (there seems to be some weirdness with it, so..).
    in any event, this iMovieHD inability to import movies has prevailed from 10.3.9 through 10.4.5... although I've had the most success in getting it mostly working at 10.4.4 level (never could get the import working at all at around 10.4.3)...
    Startup partition has approximately 8Gb free (it's a 15Gb startup partition). I looked at the VM allocation prior to partitioning, and it said 5G VM use, so I made sure there will be at least that much available free space after OS install.
    I will never use a computer where I don't keep OS and user files in a separate partition, also insist on a secondary OS partition in case the primary fails (so I can still startup the darn thing. this secondary OS partition is very small, since it's only meant to be used for emergency use, and only has applications relevent to recovering data, repair etc). Had enough drive crashes and other problems hwere having separate partition was the only thing that saved me from losing the entire content of the hard drive (and yes.. all the files are periodically updated to my external). Also, makes it easy to do housecleaning (defrag, etc).. since sysOS partition and applications don't get defragmented all that much, only thing I'll have to "keep clean" usually is the user partition.
    80Gb internal is plenty large to have good partitioning scheme.
    anyway.. I digress...
    if it is a matter of having enough swap space on the startup partition to run iApps, then i shouldn't be able to import to any hard drive, internal or external. if the iApps likes to dump temp files in the working directory, then internal (if I can do it) will be working with 13Gb free space while the external has 150Gb free space. again, not the problem..
    so the issue is something with the FW use... I guess it's unclear whether this is an OS problemFW hardware problem, iMovieHD problem, or (gasp!) quicktime problem.

  • IMovie 6.0.3 - White Screen in iMovieHD playback

  • Comparing iMovieHD vs. iMovie08

    I loaded iMovieHD today and noticed that encodings are so much more faster with HD than 08. So I started trying to figure out why. I noticed that a 2 minute clip imported is HUGE in the project where as in 08 it is about actual size(regardless of importing from camera or card). This HD project was over a 1gb in size.
    I ended up creating the same size 720P AIC movie file in each version. It took 4 minutes in HD vs 16-18 in '08. The file output sizes was 538mb(HD) to 747mb('08). I compared by viewing in Quicktime at the same timecode. I can tell considerable differences where the larger 747mb('08) was sharper and more vivid. I attribute this to more databits in the file.
    The source file was 4 clips from a Sanyo HD camera captured a 1920x1080 at 30P. The import was close to 8 minutes in HD and almost 4 in '08.
    My question is, short of the editing functions that HD provides does the HD version compare with 08 in quality? I guess I am a little nitpicky about this even though HD seems so much faster. Maybe it is personal preference but I thought I would ask others what they thought about the two.
    Thanks in advance.
    --Mickey

    I'm only guessing but in your particular case the difference may come from how each app treat 'still camera movies'.
    I'm assuming Sanyo's HD clips are from Xacti HD1000, and although it is more like a camcorder than a still cam it does not fall into traditional camcorder category. Camcorders usually generate certain closed file types - DV, HDV, AVCHD and iMovie 08 either import them natively (DV) or convert to AIC movies (HDV,AVCHD). But when it comes to h264 or mpeg4 movies out of other cameras iPhoto store them as still cam movie and iMovie does not perform any conversion on them. Sanyo's h264 mp4 files are still considered this 'still cam movie' even at 1920x1080 res, and iMovie08 has difficulty performing in all realtime.
    iMovieHD, on the other hand, converts everything to work with the project type. It does not support multi format / multi resolution mix up like iMovie08, and if you choose 1080i or 720p project setting it converts all source movies to AIC codec unless your source movie happens to match the target format. Thus file size becomes much larger but lighter on CPU to perform editing function.
    As for 720p export, the file size difference is probably from the export setting if both movies are identical in length. Perhaps iMovie 08 uses a bit higher bitrate. Better quality attributes to higher bitrate, and also to the fact that iMovie08 did only one conversion (h264 -> 720p AIC) where as iMovieHD did it twice (h264->1080i AIC -> 720p), thus more generation loss in quality.
    Personally I think iMovie should treat HD res h264 like the ones out of camcorder and convert them to AIC to maintain realtime operation, which is why it converts AVCHD - another HD res h264 movies - to AIC.

  • Isight doesn't communicate with ImovieHD

    I have an Imac G5 with a built in Isight. The isight works fine in chat but when I try a record live video in imovieHD it says that there is no camera connected (blue screen). I have brought quicktime pro thinking that this might help but it hasn't. Any ideas?

    Lara,
    As Sue points out, your best bet is to get iLife '06 so that you can use iMovie HD 6 with your built in iSight.
    Here's a thread that talks about some workarounds to get it to work with iMovie HD 5, but I don't think you'll find them satisfactory.

  • IMovieHD Aspect Ratio woes..... !

    OK, so I have two clips imported into iMovieHD from my Canon 5DMKII, they are 1080p and 16x9 clips. I'm all for OAR (original aspect ratios) and enjoy "black bars" on the top and bottom, but its 16x9 and the monitor is not... so its adding them when I export to full quality or any other quality. I don't want them there... I just want the video to stay in 19x9, no bars.
    What the heck do I have to do in order to achieve this? I use custom settings and have tried all sorts of things and nothing has worked.

    Oh I'll add more information.
    If I look at the video straight from the camera it is in .mov formart. MPEG4 I think.
    Regardless looking at it out of the camera its normal looking in quicktime with no bars on the top or bottom. When I import it into imovieHD to put some clips together into one movie, I go to export or share and it says the current resolution is 720x480. I don't understand, and everything I do exports it WRONG, even if I go to HD resolutions is puts the bars on top and does NOT retain the aspect ratio like the original clips. Its driving me crazy.

  • IMovieHD 6 plays the video just a few seconds and the video quits

    Wish I could take credit for it although early on I did get my iMovie project to work but was not observant enough to figure out what I had done. I was more in a panic about iMovie not working correctly and was on the phone with Apple at the time. Fortunately the "fix" was discovered and documented by someone on the QuickTime Discussion Forum! This problem is more a QuickTime issue instead of with iMovie.
    I decided to take the Archive and Install route to revert back to QT 7.1.5 rather than use the sleep work around.
