Import completed movie

I'm trying to import a completed movie project from dv tape. iMovie 9.0.2 insists on importing it as a bunch of clips AND they're all in the wrong order. What a pain. Can anyone help with that?
Thanks,
Robin

iMovie is set up to import DV stream as if it were from a camera. Individual starts and stops are recognized, and timecode metadata is maintained. This has the effect of arranging the clips in chronological order rather than in edited order.
If you still have the application that created this movie, you can import it there. Then export it as a QuickTime Movie with the DV codec. Then you can import it into iMovie in edited order.

How do I add titles to a completed movie?

I am new to imovie. I have imported a completed movie in MP4 from my previous PC. I can only add a title to the beginning of the movie, but would like to insert section titles, but since all the clips have been joined, any attempt to insert such a title, goes to the beginning of the movie. Any suggestions?

If you select a title (yellow border) you can drag it anywhere in your timeline.

Importing Complete Files as on Desktop

I recently upgraded my computer to Windows 7 and lost my old Photoshop. It was simple and effective and the default program!
I purchased and have installed Elements 12, but that didn't automatically acquire the pictures in my file folders.
When I open them now it appears that the default program is windows photo viewer.
If the requirement is to import all my photos, I would like to do it so that my folders on the desktop look as before but with Elements as the editing program.
a) Can I import complete files to Photoshop?
b) Can I replace the old files with the Photoshop versions?
c) Can I make Photoshop the default program for new downloads - pictures from e-mail, camera, etc.?

A. Please review this tech note: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html
B. The photofiles are not stored in PSE. They are on disk wherever you put them
C. I don't understand what you mean by "complete files". Please explain..
D. If you want to have photofiles open in PSE rather than in Windows Viewer, you need to establish a file association. To do that, right click on a file, and go to Open with>choose default program>PSE and check to always open this type of file with the program
E. The file format that you download is determined by the sender. In e-mail it is JPEG as a rule, but you can open a JPEG file in PSE, enhance it, and save it as a PSD file if you wish.

Import rendering mov = Crash

Same problem here but in Premiere CC. Premiere crashes when importing a MOV.
Please solve this issue ASAP!

What I do is actually easy. I drag and drop the movie from Finder into Premiere. It appears in the list and as soon as Premiere opens it (automatically) in the source panel, it crashes.

Import 8mm movies directly into Elements 12

Curious to know if it is possible to directly import 8mm movies via a camcorder, through a Canopus ADVC110 analog to digital converter device, directly into Premiere Elements 12? If so, how would that be accomplished, and what are the settings necessary for optimal quality?

Yes you can but I recommend (and always use myself) WinDV or Exsate DV Capture Live. There are no settings in PRE that affect the quality of DV import as it (and the other two tools I've mentioned) capture the complete raw video stream from the digitizer. It is the settings on the digitizer that can affect the quality of that stream and, frankly, I find the Canopus manuals so unhelpful and poorly written that I've always just gone with the defaults.
Cheers,
Neale

I have a short homemade film burnt onto a DVD, I now want to import the movie into IMOVIE on my MacBook Pro so that I can edit it, how would I go about doing this? Welcoming any guidance. Thanks in advance.

1. Insert your DVD.
2. Open Disk Utilities (Application> Utilities> Disk Utilities). Highlight your DVD and press "New Image" on the upper toolbar.
3. Choose the location you would like to save your DVD from the drop down menu, "Desktop" is usually the best choice. Then click Save.
4. When finished, your DVD icon will appear on the desktop with the .dmg extension.
5. With iMovie open, double-click the .dmg file you created to mount it. The iMovie import window will then appear asking you to choose. Click Import All and wait for the Import to complete.

Importing completed iMovie back into iMovie for additional editing

My daughter recently completed a mini movie, courtesy of an Apple Film camp...lots of fun.
Her completed movie, made at the Apple Store using iMovie, was placed on a DVD. The DVD plays the movie, which is great, but i am not able to import the movie back into iMovie, so that I can edit it, or rather, shrink the size, for my daughter for use in other platforms.
Everytime I try to open the DVD, I have files for audio and files for video, which can't be imported in, and no complete iMovie file.
I'm probably doing something very stupid, and if somebody could help, that would be great.
Thanks!

Once you encode your movie for DVD, it changes the format/codec to MPEG2 which is no longer readable by iMovie.
I suggest you read the Recent User Contributed Tips at the top of this forum - the one by AppleMan 1958 - How to import a home movie on DVD into iMovie for editing:

Problems Importing Complete Video in DVD Studio Pro

I have video that I edited in Final Cut Pro and exported as a QuickTime file (.mov), with chapter markers. I checked the video in QuickTime player and all my chapter markers were present, and the entire video played through the end. The whole movie is 52 minutes in length. However, two problems have arisen once the video was imported into DVD Studio Pro.
1. All my chapter markers disappeared.
2. The entire audio track is present and will play through the end of the movie, but the video cuts off more than 6 minutes before the end of the movie.
I have tried several options to get this video to import correctly. Sometimes the chapter markers remain, but I can never get the video track to import completely. I would greatly appreciate any advice, as this has become very frustrating. Thank you.

Since my last post, I have tried importing a couple different versions of the video file. One attempt included chopping the video file into 2 parts and exporting them two separate .mov files from FCP. I then tried to insert them into the track editor as separate entities that played back-to-back. This led me to the discovery that DVDSP will not let me have a video track that plays any longer than 00:45:58:21. Why this is, I do not know, but I am convinced this problem lies within DVDSP, not in the video file. Is there a setting somewhere that limits the length of a video?

How to import 150 .mov (quicktime) clips into iMovie '11?

Hello,
Newbie to iMovie and having some trouble. My wedding videographer took off with my wedding footage (and the footage of 100 other couples.) Through the police and some of my own detective work, I was able to seize my wedding footage and have it on an external hard drive. I have already spent thousands of dollars trying to recoup my footage and now that I finally have it, I don't have the extra money to have it made into an actual movie/dvd.
All of the more than 150 clips are in .mov format and I am unable to import them into iMovie that way. Any ideas on how to convert that many HD clips into a file that iMovie will recognize without losing video quality & sound?
For tech info:
iMac 10.8.3
iMovie '11
Clip Info:
Dimensions: 1920x1080
Codecs: H.264, Linear PCM
Color Profile: 1-1-6
Audio Channels: 2
Thanks for your help! This community is a great amazing resource and I appreciate anyone who takes the time to offer suggestions.
Katie

I did it! I realized after 2 hours of it not working, that I was doing it 1 step wrong. I was trying to import the actual file with all the clips, rather than just the clips themselves... Silly error, and the import of .mov files into iMovie was seemelss.. Quality is great and didn't take long. Thanks again.

After I import a movie file from the camera memory card, Imovie 10.0.1 acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it worksnow? Thank you, Filippo

On IMac 10.9 After I import a movie file from the camera memory card to Imovie 10.0.1 it acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it works now? Anyone know? Thanks, Filippo

I would like to know this too. I imported a lot of files, then Imovie crashed. I went back in and they are not in imovie at all.
I reconnected the camcorder to import again and though they are still on the camcorder, I no longer see them in the available list of files to import. I'm sure there is some sort of simple setting somewhere that reveals all files even if it thinks they are imported.
Thanks

HELP! How to import .mpg movies from a photocamera?

I'm trying to import mpg movies in Imovie, but it doesn't accept this format. I also tried to convert it to a mp4 file, but they are low res and I need high res (tv use).
Please help me out!
Thanks!!!

I'm trying to import mpg movies in Imovie, but it doesn't accept this format. I also tried to convert it to a mp4 file, but they are low res and I need high res (tv use).
MPEG Streamclip (free) will convert MPG (multiplexed MPEG-1) files. As to resolution, you can re-scale the files during the conversion process but it merely increases the conversion time without improving quality. iMovie "08 automatically re-scales project files for display/export.

IMovie 08 hangs while trying to import iPhoto movies at the start.

Hi guys,
When I open Imovie 08, it asks me to import iphoto movies. Then it stays there for ages and never ends importing those movies. I know I can just skip this process but I want to edit those videos from iPhoto.
I guess is some corrupted file it is trying to import what is causing this incident but I have no idea how to tell which is the "bad" file since iMovie doesn't give any information about it.
Any clues?
Thanks in advence

Hi,
I wouldn't say I have such a lot of movies in Iphoto but deffintely they are quite a few... anyway, I suspect it will never end because the timer gets bigger and bigger; and yes I left it running overnight with no luck.
Is there any way to see in which video is iMovie having the problem? The other workarround means having to backup and delete videos randomly until I find "the bad one".
Cheers.

How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

Try this general troubleshooting procedure:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive? The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import. Can it be done?

How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive? The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import. Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC.

No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either. It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected. VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB. All of which cannot be opened or selected.
Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC. Is that the same? Thank you for your time and response.
