Import imovie into Garage for Soundtrack -severe audio problems

Imported imovie 4 minutes long into Soundtrack and the audio is delayed, scratchy, offensive and unlistenable. I add a drum track and that suffers the same fate. I got the movie to play fine by going into prefernces as that was moving in "chunks" instead of a smooth flow. Any thoughts?

I hardly ever use iMovie so I am not sure about the "Share" function there but using Avid Express, or Lionheads "The Movies" I end up with a Hd movie.
This I suppose is too large to use in GB so I compress it at a lower resolution and a smaller size. This is the movie I use in GB. The resulting soundtrack is exported to iTunes, no help for that, and then with Quicktime Pro, I remove the sound from the original HD movie and add the new mix.

Importing Images into IDVD for Slidshow

I am at a loss as to what is the best image size, resolution size, etc. when it comes to importing images into IDVD. I usually size my prints
4 x 6 @ 300 dpi.. This looks fine in the slideshow preview. After I burn the dvd and view it, the images lose quality, etc..
Any help would be appreciated

What you're creating in iPhoto is a movie file that will get cut off in iDVD because of the TV over scan issue. Only stills imported and assembled into a slideshow in iDVD can be scaled to avoid the over scan.
So to get what you want you'll have to import the stills into iDVD from iPhoto and create the slideshow there.
If you have Quicktime Pro you can mask the QT movie with a black mask and cause the iPhoto QT movie to be scaled to the TV safe area. The steps are below. You'll have to experiment with the final sizes to get it exact:
Masking Movies to the TV Safe Area for iDVD
The mask should be 640 x 480 pixels and the movie at approx. 580 x 386 (I arrived at this figure by making a snapshot of the TV save area of an iDVD project with Snapz). You can set this size after you’ve joined it with the mask movie with Quicktime Player Pro.
Import the black mask jpg file into iMovie and and export it as a .mov file at the same length as your movie (there may be a way to not have to create a specific length mask for each movie but I haven't found it. If the times do not match the movie file will be synced to the length of the mask movie).
Open the mask movie in QT Player Pro and then open your regular movie and make it the front window of the two. Now you'll need to run a QT Player AppleScript titled "Merge Movie 1 into Movie 2". You can get it from this Apple site: Quicktime Player Scripts.
Then run the script. You can then run the merged movie to check it out. Your movie will be located in the upper lefthand corner of the window when played.
When you open the Movie Properties window from the Window menu for the combined file you’ll see the following:
Video Track 1: the black mask
Video Track 2 : you movie file
Tween track: Have no idea what this is.
Sound track: self explanaotry
Black mask.
To set the size of your movie to the correct size select it in the Properties window and click on Visual Settings pane. Then enter 580 in the first field and hit enter. With the Preserve Aspect Ration box checked the other size will automatically be set.
To center the video track in the center of the mask select the Video Track 2 item and plug in a offset of about: 70 & 45. You'll probably have to play with that to fine tune the centering. Doing the math and subtracting the movie dimensions from the mask dimensions and dividing by two just didn't get it perfectly centered bit with a little eyeballing and trial and error it got there.
Now save as a new self contained movie after checking the High Quality box at the bottom right.
You can now import it into iDVD for preview and burning. One drawback is that you can't invoke the TV save area for a movie in iDVD to check it out. But you can mark it on the monitor screen while viewing a menu or slideshow and then play the movie to see how close you came. I found that the size was still a little under the TV safe area when burned and played on my TV. It may be the difference in normal CRT screens and flat screens, etc.

I can not import photos into lightroom 4.4 Had no problem before this time.

I can not import photos into lightroom 4.4 Had no problem before this time. I have camera raw7.4 and use a NikonD7100. I have a Mac using 10.6.8. I can see the images and selected for import in Lightroom, but after I check "import" I get a message that Lightroom could not read the files. This happens with both raw and jpeg files. Thanks for a repl

thanks for the reply. would you please tell me how to check for the folder to have write permission. I have done the same settings as before but this time does not transfer. It says can not read files with a code "298". I can see the thumbnails on the screen prior to trying to import the photos, also can see them with the card in the camera and using the view mode. I have up to date camera raw 7.4 for my Nikon D7100 and the settings allow for 7.1 and above

Why I can't import iMovie into Apple Configurator without asking me for more codes. If iMovie is free, and I upgraded the latest version and to Yosemite.

Previously, our school bought a number of codes for iMovie. One of our MacAirs that supervises some iPads through Apple Configurator showed that it was free. However, another Mac Air did not saying that I needed to import more codes. I upgraded everything, software, iMovie in iTunes, and Apple Configurator. Everytime I upload iMovie into Configurator it shows I only have 2 codes, while on the other MacAir, it shows it as free.

Can I import photos from iPhoto ('08; 7.1.5) into latest version of Aperture without upgrading my iPhoto to the iPhoto '11 version?
To elaborate a bit on TD's answer:
You can import only folders of images or selected image files that have been exported from older iPhoto libraries, not the libraries themself.
Aperture 3.4.5 cannot work with iPhoto Libraries that have not been upgraded to iPhoto 9.4. or later at all:
You cannot open them in Aperture:
And you cannot import them as a library to create an Aperture library from the older iPhoto Library.
Without upgrading to iPhoto '11 your only option would be to export your original images and the edited versions from iPhoto '08 and to import the folders of images into Aperture. That would be a lot of work, a waste of disk space, and break the lossless workflow. You will clutter your Aperture library with duplicates (version and edite image) that are no proper original-version pairs.
For a smooth transit from iPhoto to Aperture I strongly recommend to bite the bullet and to upgrade to iPhoto '11 to upgrade your iPhoto libraries to the new version 9.4.3 to preserve all the previous work - albums, books, ratings - you have done in iPhoto.

-43 error when import Imovie into Imovie

Hello,
I want to import an imovie into another Imovie but I get a -43 error : saying impossible to import the file. Quicktime could not analyse it : -43.
I removed plug ins from library/Imovie
What I did : open a Imovie project. Dragged a project from the finder into Imovie. And got the error message.
thanks for your help.
eg

Welcome to the forum, Emmanuel.
iMovie HD isn't able to import another iMovie HD project. Trying to import it causes an error.
Remember, the iMovie HD project isn't a single file and it's not a movie. It's a package, a special kind of Mac OS folder containing lots of other files and folders. To look inside the package, Control-click on the project icon and choose Show Package Contents from the popUp menu that appears.
One way to import Project A into Project B is to open Project A in iMovie, select all the clips, Copy, open Project B, and Paste the clips into Project B. Do the same for the audio tracks, if you want those too.
To avoid iMovie importing the same file more than one time, be sure to Copy and Paste all the clips (video or audio) at the same time.
If you want the Timeline of Project A to arrive in Project B as a single clip, import the Timeline Movie.mov that's inside the Cache folder of Project A.

Bizarre results importing imovie into final cut express?

I have filmed different interviews which were captured in imovie. I am now trying to import them into final cut express. But when I import one interview called, say, Gavin I get Karen's interview instead. The clip is labelled Gavin but the footsage is from a different interview. No matter who I import I get a completely different project and there is no rhyme nor reason to the footage that opens up.
Basically I get the wrong footage with every clip I open.
Please help before I end up in the loony bin!
Exasperated,
Clare

I bought Final cut express just after capturing all my files in imovie (having heard that it was supposed to be easier to cature and trim in imovie before sending the files to fce - is this what you have heard?). If it weren't for a solid week capturing and trimming 40 hours of film I would recapture in fce!!
I have even replaced the captured media within the scratch folder but still it opens the wrong files.
The files are labelled as the interviewees name. All the books say that you can import imovie projects into fce and then render and save as fce files.
I have tried various methods of importing, opening and even dragging a clip straight from imovie into the browser of fce - which works but opens an original untrimmed version rather than the short trimmed version and again it will be an interview of the wrong person.
I have since been turning the imovie files into .mov files and opening them in fce - this seems to work but hope there is no change to quality.
Would this be the way to go? I would so appreciate an answer!
Thanks

Severe audio problems in After Effects CS4 and MXF and more...

Hi!
I've been experiencing a lot of problems lately with several CS4 products.
First, and the worst, is that there seems to be some severe audio bug in After Effects when handling mxf-files. I pre-cut a project in premiere CS4, shot with a Sony EX1, and then imported the project in After Effects CS4.
In premiere everything worked fine and I had all the audio. In AE however the audio matched with the MXF-files disappeared (Yes I had the import audio box checked). All other audio worked fine from the music tracks and so on, but the MXF-files (MXF for NLE) was completely blank, the waveforms were completely flat. I checked every option there is in AE regarding audio and tried enabling and disabling XMP ID's and so on. After a lot of tweaking and testing I understood that the problem was not with any settings anywhere, the MXF-files lacked audio even if I started a new project and just imported the MXF-file.
The problem seems to be connected to when importing from Premiere. My colleague was editing a similar project on his computer in After Effects without problems, and he started out fresh in AE (didn't pre-cut in premiere). However, we tried to move my project to his computer, to see if the problem was connected with incompability with my hardware or such, and he got the same problem as me when he opened the project. Waveforms on MXF-files were completely flat. Certain confirmation that the problem was not connected with my computer appeared when he later reopened his own project, that had worked fine before, and audio was now completely gone - waveforms flat. An hour later, by chance, his audio suddenly popped back.
I have experienced this problems in two different projects in different forms (but both pre-cut in premiere). In the first, audio disappeared while previewing but was there when I ctrl-scrolled and rendered (no I hadn't muted audio in the preview panel). In the second, audio was completely gone even when rendered.
In both cases I tried saving and restarting the computer, reimporting from premiere, starting a fresh after effects project and only importing the mxf-files, changing the project settings, fps fixed to the correct instead of auto, changing output audio mapping, changing XMP, and so on in every possible way and combination I could imagine.
At my company our suspicion is that After Effects flags mfx-files imported from Premiere in some wierd way, to strengthen and ensure compatibility between the two - regarding different audio tracks, settings and effects from premiere (and this is almost what you could suspect that the XMP ID is for, but as explained with or without doesn't change a thing regarding this). We have no problem with the pure MXF support for AE, as MXF-files work just fine in After Effects if you import them directly and have not imported them through premiere earlier (but after a file has been "flagged" you seem to be sc***ed)
Anyone else experiencing this? Or am I missing something huge?
As additional notes, the dynamic link function seems extremely buggy and both premiere both sometimes complains about "dynamic link already in use and only one connection blah blah" even though only one link is used, and even though you restart the projects, programs, computer, whatever.
In furher addition Adobe Media Encoder (which also seems to be using some sort of dynamic link offspring) is super-buggy and most codec formats either doesn't start to render or just renders partially and then the program hangs. The problem have a connection with a process named pproheadless.exe eating upp all the RAM (4gbs).
(My workstation has been working smoothly for one and a half years and I have had very little problems with CS3 and "just" AE CS4. I am cautious of updates, don't have spyware and use Quicktime 7.5 as 7.5.5 is superbuggy and people seems to have problems with 7.6 and it doesn't fix the gamma issues anyway.)
Sorry if this was a long post but the problem is compl

Dude, that's what these forums are all about. Everyone in here says they dont work for Adobe, but they all act like apologists for what is clearly a disaster of a software release. My complaints aren't as specialized as yours, just very basic, and I wont go into all of them, because the list is long, and includes nearly every program in CS4.
I'm going for a refund, either from the retailer or my credit card company. Releasing software like this is dishonest.

Importing data into an existing table from excel problem

Hopefully I am posting this in the right place..
I am having trouble importing data from Excel into an oracle table using the 'import data' wizard in SQL developer.
The problem is that the I want to import data into a table which all ready has data and I want the new data to be imported into the first row of the table not in a new row at the end of the table.
This is probably best shown by example:
create table todelete (
     site_no varchar2(2),
     data1 number,
     qa number);
insert into todelete values ('w1',1,null);
insert into todelete values ('w1',2, null);
insert into todelete values ('w1',3,null);
Now I want to import the following data from excel into the QA column starting at w1:
SITE_NO
QA
w1
4
w2
4
w3
4
However, when I import the QA column it goes into a new row:
SITE_NO
DATA1
QA
w1
1
NULL
w2
2
NULL
w3
3
NULL
NULL
NULL
4
NULL
NULL
4
NULL
NULL
4

The problem is that the I want to import data into a table which all ready has data and I want the new data to be imported into the first row of the table not in a new row at the end of the table.
No - the PROBLEM is that a table does NOT have a 'first' row or a 'row at the end of the table'.
Rows in a table are like balls in a basket; there is NO 'first' ball.
As already suggested please mark this thread ANSWERED and repost it in the sql developer forum where it belongs.

Workaround for some W510 Audio Problems. Lenovo, please take a look at this!

Hi all
I believe most or all of the people are affected with poor sound quality of W510. I do believe there are some people who bring their laptops along and not convenient to get a external sound card and external speakers on the road. I am not too sure, but what I think that causes audio problem in W510, T410 or T510 is due to the implementations of Combo Audio/Mic Jack. So far, I have not heard any audio problems from X201 or W701/W701ds with a separate mic and audio jack (1 green and red, instead of 1 combo) Listed machines are using Conexant 20585 SmartAudio HD Sound Card.
The workaround is to force install Conexant 20561 SmartAudio HD Driver through Device Manager
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-73721
Problem Partially Resolved
1. Using Audio Director - Classic mode enables you to use both internal speakers and external speakers/headphone simultaneously. (By right, this should be in Multi-Stream mode, due to this driver not programmed for W510). However, the volume of the internal speaker will be reduced by half if an external speakers/headphone is plugged.
2. The sound quality is improved (tested with internal speakers).
3. Solved Irregular Volume Problems.
Drawback of using this driver
1. Using Multi-Stream mode in this case would not enables you to use both internal speakers and external speakers/headphone simultaneously. However it would just make your internal speaker to be louder. External speaker/headphone would not work if Multi-Stream mode is selected.
2. Custom EQ is not usable, if used, only the right channel of internal speaker, external speaker/headphone would work, and the sound quality will be like a spoilt radio.
3. Only Voice (VoIP) EQ is optimized for external speaker/headphone. Using Off, Jazz, Dance or Concert EQ would make you feel that the vocal (singer's voice) is diffused, blurred like excessive 3D effects.
4. Even if any preloaded EQ is selected, after system has been restarted, the selected EQ would still be saved, but the band (31Hz - 16KHz would be changed back to Off EQ) It is ok as it just affects the graphics, not the sound.
I know that Forum Administrators, Lenovo Staff, Community Moderators, Gurus and Volunteered Moderators/Users would be surfing around and looking for new post. Please take a look and leave a post or PM to me, thank you very much.
It is alright if Lenovo don't think that there is any problems regarding the sound in W510. However, I do believe most users/owners of W510 would appreciate if the sound system could be further improved through a better driver or new revision of hardware to something like a T400 standards or something. Some users would spent so much $ just to get all-in-a-box solution and would not want to invest further just for a external card to sacrifice portability and use more $. Finally, I still do believe that W510 audio problems can be resolved.
Best Regards
Peter

Hi ckhordiasma
Thanks for reviving ths old thread. How about trying Dolby drivers? It sounds great and could possibly resolve those issues without going through too much troubleshooting.

SkypeMACMate for USB phone Audio problems

Hi,
Not sure where to post this.
A friend of mine has a Voip cordless phone (Senda SE-W1D) he no longer uses with Windows driver. I'm interesting in buying it off him if I can get it to work. i downloaded SkyeMACMate and managed to get the phone connected to Skype. I could see me contacts, dial numbers etc. on the phone, only that I couldn't hear anything. I turned on the USB device option in Skye, but still nothing. Then I turned on the USB device in the system preferences and managed to hear the dialing tone it makes as it dials the number, but as soon as it finished dialing everything went silent again..
has anyone any ideas what it could be?
And surely there must be a way of using the phone without turning off the inbuilt speakers of the iMac
Cheers
Manuel

I found the answer on Skype form. Apparently there is an audio problem with the latest version of Skype. I downloaded the previous version (2.5.0.85) and it now works fine.

Importing raw into photos for mac

trying to get to grips with photos now aperture scrapped

<<There doesn't seem to be any facility for this>>
This is basically correct. You can import RAW files to photos, but the standard RAW filter will be applied and you can only edit the image with the included, simple-minded Photos editor. You can chose in the editor whether to use the JPG or RAW file as the master, but it's unclear which file is exported or shared when you try to send it somewhere else. Sometimes it works but other times the exported image looks like the original unedited JPG. I've sort of abandoned shooting in RAW for the moment unless I'm in a situation where I know I will need to do RAW editing in Photoshop. At minimum there seems to point in importing the RAW file into Photos as it just makes the library bigger without any appreciable benefit, so if I do shoot in JPG/RAW, I just import the JPG files to Photos and edit the RAW files with Photoshop from the Finder folders.
You can make suggestions to Apple for product enhancements at the Photos for Mac suspport site. We'll see if Apple listens to the users or continues to try to support only the lowest common denominator casual photographers.

Importing CDs into iTunes for Macbook Pro

For Chrismas this year I recieved a new Macbook Pro. On my old computer I would import my CDs into iTunes to listen to music, rather than buying all new music that I already have! This is my first time owning any kind of apple computer and I have no clue how to do certain things on it! I would really like to import my CDs so I can listen to music, but this computer has no CD drive and I have no idea how to do so! I would really like to figure this out so I don't have to spend more money on music that I already own! Please help a confused new Mac user!! Thank you!

Pioneer DVR-XD09
THAT'S the one I have and use with my Mini.
I got it four years ago for my daughter, with a Netbook, which has since been retired. It comes with a "dual" USB cable (2 into 1 - 1 for data,1 for power) but I got an AC adapter for the power so it only uses one USB port now. The dual cable comes in handy when you're on the go, though. No external power source needed.
It reads and writes (+and -) CD-Rs CD-RWs, DVD-Rs, DVD-RWs, single and dual layer. About the only thing it won't do is BluRay.

Importing imovies into iDVD

I created a bunch of short imovies. I am trying to pull them into iDdvd to create 6 differenet menues. For some reason, iDvd will only pick up a few of them, not all. The movies were all created on the same tape, just edited onto different imovie files. If anyone has any ideas, please share!

If thats the case, make sure you exported them as quicktime files and if they don't already have a ".mov" extension, add one.
iDVD should "see" imovie projects without exporting them.....what are the filenames (project names) of the "bad" imovie proejcts?

Importing .rtf into Motion for scrolling credits

I am trying to import an .rtf file into Motion (3) to create scrolling credits for a video, but Motion won't allow me to import it.

You need to copy and paste into a text object, but I'm not sure that rtf formatting support was added until Motion 4.
I would just create them from scratch in Motion.
