Import video cropped in imovie

I am importing a video from a Canon Elura 70 camera. When I import into iMovie, the imported video looks like has been zoomed in / or cropped. What do I need to do to keep the same aspect of the video i am importing?

You may have automatic image stabilization turned on, which works by zooming. You can turn it off in the clip inspector for each clip, or you can disable it so the stabilzation analysis is not automatically done at import.

Hi, I can not import video files into iMovie.

I can open iMovie however can not import video files. the iMovie application just hangs and I have to force quit to start again and once again get the same problem.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iMovie.

Yosemite sometimes has problems, often related to "default" permissions needing to be changed

Can not import video clips into iMovie from Photos

I have some clips that I copied from my GoPro to my iPad via the Apple Camera Connection Kit. When I open iMovie there are icons for the clips but iMovie will not import them. The format is H.264. Is there a way of tricking iMovie?

Here is the problem, Im making a movie, I took all the video on my Kodak V610 Camera. I have the clips in .mov format. The clips are stored on an external disk in my iPhoto library.
Your digital camera probably uses MPEG-4 video (compatible with iMovie '08 in combination with µ-Law 2:1 compressed audio (which is not iMovie '08 compatible). While using the MPEG Streamclip MPEG-4 conversion will work, the prefered methof would be to use the QT "Movie to MPEG-4" option in QT Pro (quicker if you have it) or GarageBand (via the "Expert Settings option) to "pass through" you video while converting the audio to AAC (MPEG-4 audio). A mono setting of 64 Kbps with a 44.1 KHz sampling rate is a bit of "overkill" with respect to the original audio but will be quality compatible with what iMovie uses for its output presets.

Problems with importing video tape into iMovie '08

I'm using a canopus advc 110 to import video tapes from a vhs recorder into iMovie. BUT, the process often stops after only a few minutes when I still have a long way to go. I'd like to be able to leave it to work for 20-minute chunks (longer if possible, but I think that's about the limit), but it keeps stopping after a few minutes. When I come back in the room, it keeps trying to import (time in upper right corner keeps going) but had quit earlier according to time on the lower center of the iMovie screen. This is adding to my frustration and time, which is limited. Any suggestions??

The canopus advc 110 will work IF you have a perfect tape.
Look at the Grassvalley ADVC300 it has the ability to compensate for bad tapes. Using Line Time Base Correction (LTBC), ADVC300 instantly cleans, stabilizes and preserves old VHS and Hi8 videos in clean DV format. No need to monitor, just start and forget. Fast forward the tape all the way and then rewind all the way before import will never hurt.
The program that comes with the ADVC300 has some nice filters that can improve video and audio of the source material. The ADVC300 will take Audio and Video from any source and convert it to FireWire (iMovie will treat it like a camera).
http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc300
The ADVC300 is for anyone who wants to do editing and is concerned about quality of color and speed, for the novice it is an incredible gizmo that will restore VHS tapes to a state close to the original fixing midtones, highlights and shadows on the fly. Not only can you simply convert analog to digital you can actually manipulate the signal going in (if you want to).
A bit pricey bit it WORKS.
I would use iMovie 06 with iDVD 08/09.
iMovie 08 and 09 uses 'single field processing' meaning every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage. iMovie 06 uses ALL of the image to form the video.
Your workflow is editing DV clips and making DVDs, so iMovie 06 is better suited. Your movie will arrive at iDVD in DV format, which is an ideal match for making a DVD: same resolution, same pixels aspect ratio, and original quality. If you share your movie from iMovie 09, it gets re-rendered at 640x480 or less, and then iDVD upscales it back to 720x480. The end result is obviously not as good.
iMovie 06 and iDVD 08/09 is a "lossless" combination.
iMovie 09 is a wonderful programs assuming that you're using it for what it was designed to do, assemble videos to share on the Internet.

Possible To Import Video Files into iMovie and Retain Their Chapter Marking

I've a couple of videos I'd like to use in an iMover for which I've already created chapter markers for in GarageBand. Is there any way to bring them into iMovie when I import the video?

No. iMovie cannot import files with chapter markers.

Importing video quickly into iMovie 08?

Using a Sony HC-7 and wondering there is a way to quickly import video into iMovie? Right now I am importing in real-time, using firewire connection. Thanks

Thanks for the response. I guess my question is why use a firewire connection to transfer video when it is in real-time only? The ability to transfer via firewire seemed to be a selling point. Thanks again

Importing video into ipad2 iMovie

How do I import videos into ipad2?

And yet just another example of how apple-centric limitations frustrate even the simplest functions. If I can import a video directly into my iPad from my "non-apple" camcorder, and play it... Then I shouldn't have to use iTunes on another computer to not only covert the file, but to import it as well so that iMovie can "see" it!!!
This even happens when using garage band ON MY IPAD then trying to use the music I created in I Movie ON MY iPAD!!! You have to save the music to iTunes then connect to a laptop then import the music back to your iPad.
This is CRAZY!!!!!!!
Apple... Get your act together and make all this stupid crap stop... PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Samsung Galaxy anyone? While the video editing app isn't as good as iPad yet, the comparability and functionality blows iPad out of the water... You can actually save to folders! Watch out apple google is hot on your a$$

How do I properly import video files in iMovie 10?

iMovie loads my videos real fast, but as soon as I disconnect my iPhone 5, all the videos are unavailable for editing. I need to import clips from several iPhones and cannot have them all connected while editing a movie.
I've tried to consolidate files in the drop down menu, and I've tried to import the clips into iPhoto, but the phone still needs to be connected to access the files.

FCP only works with broadcast formats and dimensions. So 1920x1080, 1280x720, 720x486 (and 480). Computer recordings are completely different dimensions. So first thing you need to do is convert/crop to match one of those settings.
Second...FCP only works with broadcast video codecs. ProRes, for example. So while you are converting the screen size, you need to convert the frame rate.
OR...get Adobe Premiere CS6 and work with the footage natively. It will do what you need. FCP...will be a bear. This is why I got iShowU and did the capture and edit all in one app.

Cannot Import Video made with iMovie for iPhone/iPod Touch

I edited a video on my iPod touch using Apple's iMovie. The resulting .MOV file that iMovie creates will not import into iPhoto '11. While iMovie recognises the file just fine, iPhoto believes it is an unsupported file type. It's a .MOV for goodness sakes created with Apple's own hardware and program! Very strange. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.

Hey there. In answer to your question, all other clips that appear in my camera roll are easily seen by iPhoto. It is only those movies that I have created with iMovie for iPhone that iPhoto does not recognize. It's really strange, considering the fact that it's just a .MOV file. As a result, I've had to download a program called 'DiskAid' that allows me to transfer the .MOV file directly to my computer from the iPod Touch.
In answer to your question regarding whether or not iMovie for iPhone was worth downloading, I would have to say yes (assuming of course the import-to-iPhoto problem gets fixed). It's not a perfect program. My biggest complaint is that you have to import clips ONE at a time. There's no 'import all' option. This is really time consuming as you have to cycle through all the videos on your iPod or iPhone and manually tap each one and repeat. My dad likes to take a lot of 1-minute videos that then have to get spliced together and that can be really tedious with how this iMovie is currently set up. However, if you regularly think to add your clips to an existing project as you go along, things should be fine. It could do with a few more features and faster rendering times, but on the whole, it's a decent program. I have a feeling, though, that it was designed more for the YouTube generation who want to upload a five-minute video instead of people like my father and I who like to edit an hour or so and then eventually burn to a DVD. iMovie for the Mac still CERTAINLY has it's place.

Cannot import video edited on imovie app

Please help, im a pc user trying to import a video I have edited using imovie, i have exported it to my camera roll but it will not import when I use picasa or any other way you can import using a mass storage device on a pc, Ive tried everything, dragging and dropping from my computer. Any ideas??? by the way this is happening with two different iphones I own. cannot import any video edited with imovie

I believe the only way you can share a movie edited with iMovie on your phone is:
* Email
* MMS (multimedia message)
* YouTube
* MobileMe Gallery
If on a Mac, you can export your finished movies to the Camera Roll and then bring them into iMovie on your Mac.

Problème d'importation video quicktime dans iMovie 11

Bonjour,
Je suis en traîn de faire un montage dans iMovie 11, et lorsque j'importe une video Quicktime, il me manque presque toujours un bout. ca varie entre 5 et 30 sec. et des fois plus. Je ne comprends pas. Comment faire ?

I've done a workaround by just using adobe premiere elements10 instead of imovie11. imovie sucks.... i can't quite edit with as much flexibility in premiere elements, but it's much better at video editing and it's got some rough color correction / brightness tools.

Import video files from iMovie to iMovie 8?

I just installed iMovie 8. I already have videos from my previous version of iMovie. How do I get them into iMovie 8? There seems to be no connection between my files and iMovie 8.

How do I get them into iMovie 8? There seems to be no connection between my files and iMovie 8.
If you are referring to "raw" files for which no iMovie HD timeline exists, then simply open the iMovie HD ptoject package, transfer the "Media" folder to an active "iMovie Events" folder, change the "Media" folder name to an event name you prefer, and open iMovioe '08 to "thumbnail" the new files. If you don't plan to do any editing of the iMovie HD project, you can then delete the iMovie HD project version.

How can i decrease the fuzziness of my video clip in imovie?

Importing video problem

I just recently made the big jump to using final cut pro. Right off the bat I'm having trouble with importing video. The camcorder connects and imports video fine with Imovie HD, but when i use final cut pro it says that there is no connection in the fire wire port therefore no camcorder to be connected to (but there is!). I'm using a canon hv40 tape camcorder. Some help on fixing this would be much appreciated!

Hi,
That is unfortunate that you are having those problems with your Camera. I researched online and found that some users were experiencing the same issues with other programs(windows and apple based).
For instance:

There are several forum threads online that explain how to fix those problems.
Hopefully this information helps,
