Importing video in imovie is jumpy!

When I import video into imovie the video gets jumpy. I play it while I try to edit and the film jumps around. It is like the film is missing milliseconds of the video. Does anyone have any idea about this or ever have this kind of trouble?

I've had the same problems using imovie '08 but it is infrequent and has only happened when importing certain analog not digital video tapes. I can watch the video flowing without interuption on the camcorder but intermitantly the actual imported film hangs up with intermitant breaks in the recording process with as you say milliseconds lost. I have tried closing all other programs for fear they may be interupting without success. And as I said it has only happened a few times , only with analog manual imports and the extent of the footage lost is variable.... Any suggestions????

    Thanks for the reply with additional details.
    In order to help you with the Elements Organizer 13 and Premiere Elements 13 issues, we need details of that video from iMovie.
    You should be able to get the important details of the iMovie video by telling us the export settings that you used for the iMovie export.
    Minimum information..
    Video Compression
    Audio Compression
    File Extension
    Frame Size
    First, update Premiere Elements 13 and Elements Organizer 13 each to the 13.1 Update (See Help Menu/Update in an opened
    Premiere Elements 13 project.)
    We will be watching for further details in order to plan and carry out troubleshooting strategy.
    Thank you.

    If you can the video clips onto your computer you can use mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:

    which costs $25.

  • Importing Video into iMovie using Mac the Ripper

    How do I import video into iMovie using Mac the Ripper? I ripped the video content onto my computer but it was not converted into a file that I can import.

    I think it's trend for all users since we can get more funny from digital life. Also it's necessary sometimes for us to save our video or dvd files with other methods, i have no idea but use something like converters.To my experience, mactheripper is not what you want,maybe you can try this dvd ripper for mac.Maybe ripper is illegal, but i just get my oringinal files, and i want to do more with it, that's just it!

  • Importing Video from iMovie HD - What's the Trick?

    Hello brilliant Mac Fans,
    I've been working steadily to create a cool demo reel for a client using iMovie HD (6) and Keynote '08. Well, the file in iMovie is Widescreen DV, and looks great. When I export it at full quality (as a dv file,) I play it in Quicktime and everything looks dandy, but when I drag that same file into Keynote, it has the wrong aspect ratio and has skips here and there...
    I guess my question is, for Widescreen video, what are the ideal settings? Does anyone know the best frame rate, kind of file, etc. that plays well with Keynote?
    Thanks to all for reading...

    Hello Carol,
    you can create slideshows in iPhoto, iMovie and iDVD. In iPhoto you can create your slideshow in a few simple steps with music and transitions, then export it to iDVD for DVD authoring. One drawback (for me) is that you choose the duration for each picture and a transition, and these will be applied to all the pics in the slideshow, so not much room for customisation. On the other hand, if you want something quick and simple, this might be the right approach.
    In iMovie you can import the pictures from your iPhoto library and create a slideshow. Here you have the possibility to completely customize all the settings (length of each pic, different transitions and music) and you can add titles and effects if you like. The process in iMovie will be longer as you'll have to import the pics one by one and change settings everytime you want a different outcome, but it will be a more personalised creation.
    In iDVD you can create slideshows more or less like in iPhoto with more or less the same options. You can import your pics from the iPhoto library or from a folder and set duration and transition type and add music.
    There have been several posts on this forum regarding problems with pic quality when played from DVD on TV - one problem is that pictures and video are not the same (pixels vs. lines, interlacing etc.). I personally have had the best results by importing photos into iMovie and applying a Ken Burns effect to each, but have to say that I don't work much with pictures (mostly video), so you'll probably get other sound advice from other users.
    hope this helps

  • Importing Video into iMovie '08 is not working

    I'm trying to import video from my Coolpix S7C camera and iPhoto can see it and Quicktime can play it, but iMovie can't. Is there only a certain format that is importable in iMovie? For example, is only 1080i importable to iMovie?
    And in case someone replies by saying that I should click Window > Event Library to display the project videos, that's already checked and no dice.
    Thanks for any help on this one.
    Oh, and I've just purchased Quicktime Pro to see if converting the file somehow will help.

    I found the answer on the net at a great site. In summary, if you don't have a DV camcorder, you need to buy Quicktime Pro, convert your .mov file into DV and then edit in iMovie and then convert it back into .mov to display. Kind of odd, but it does work.
    Just thought I'd let anyone else out there having the same problem know. The site where you can find the instructions to do so is here:

  • Importing Video to iMovie 11 Causes Entire Computer to Crash

    Hi. I must say up front that I am not very Mac saavy, so I apologize in advance.
    I am trying to import video from a Canon Vixia HFS200 camera in to my iMovie 11 on my iMac. I'm running OS X version 10.6.8. The other details are in the error report that I've pasted below. When I turn on the video camera, I select sync then select "Computer/Printer" for USB connection type. It will then open my iPhoto and upload photos, and then it will open my iMovie (if not already open). It can transfer to iPhoto just fine. However, when it opens the transfer window in iMovie, it stalls with an empty transfer screen and then I get the gray box of death telling me that my computer has crashed and I must re-start it.
    I would appreciate any advice on this issue. Thanks!
    Here is the error report I received after the last crash:

    According to the link below I got from the Canon Canada website, apparently there is mentioned software to retreive images and videos from your camera.
    http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/7/0300004027/01/IB66_EN.pdf
    Anyhow, since you had it working before with iMovie 11, I am suspecting that it somehow got corrupted when the mounted volume (your camera) somehow got disconnected due to inadequate battery power.  Which was why Canon recommended people use an AC adapter for this or a fresh battery before a major transfer of movie clips.  When mounted volumes disconnect abruptly for whatever reasons, iMovie 11 goes into beserk mode trying to restore that connection resulting in crashes or slowdowns.
    To restore iMovie 11 back to where it was.
    You need to delete iMovie's plist and cache files, 2 files located in your Home/Libary folder
    com.apple.iMovieapp.plist (document)
    com.apple.iMovieapp        (folder)
    After this, you can either do 2 things.  One is run disk repair utility and execute repair permissions on the drive that iMovie resides (probably your main boot drive) or download a free utility called OnyX which is a free OSX maintenance software to do that plus some extras including clearing caches, which sometimes are the causes of system crashes. 
    It is available from http://www.titanium.free.fr/index.php and it will help repair permissions and clear caches.  Please download the appropriate version for your OSX (Snow Leopard).
    Once that is done, reboot your computer and run iMovie 11.  Connect the cable to the camera and computer and do your import.  Make sure you have a fresh charged battery on your Canon.  This should work.
    Regarding Apple Care.  The easiest way to deal with this is deal your issues with a Genius at the Apple Store.  They will help you with the registeration of Apple Care.  Just because you bought Apple Care does not necessarily mean you are registered and you should register it as soon as you got the system and Apple Care together.
    Apple is a good system, but in the quest of making the system super friendly, it can sometimes be daunting to get it working again because unlike the PC, the interface itself makes it challenging to do low level stuff.

  • TS3634 Help, how to importing video in iMovie'11

    I am using the Sony Handycam HDR-HC 9
    OS X 10.8.4, MacBoo Pro early 2011
    iMovie'11
    I want to import the video shot with the Handycam into iMovie. The cable I am using is iLink to FireWire 800.
    When I put the camera mode in to edit/play and I plug in the cable I excpected to be able to import the HDV into the iMovie.
    It does not work, and I must say not any more.
    About 6 months ago I did import  video from the same camera to the sam iMovie Aplication on the same MacBook Pro
    I could chose the import from and select the Handi cam etc. and I cpuld control from iMovie the handycam.
    Recvently I wanted to import clips from the camera to my computer again and I was unableto do so.
    In the iMovie app. I am unable to select the camera, in the view finder of the camera it only shows HDV in when I plug in the iLink cable.
    The omly thing that has changed in the last 7 months since i last imported movie clips is OSX updates and iLive updates.
    could this be the reason?
    If so how can I correct this and import clips again from the camera.
    Will realy appreciated if anybody can help me solve this problem.
    Thank you.

    Ok
    I tried that but no go.
    In the handy cam viewer as soon as I plug in the cabe it shows HDV out iLink and immediatly changes to HDV in iLink. I assume that the cable is right than.
    I have no possiblety jet to check the cable but it is only 6 months old and not used much.
    The port on the MacBook pro is ok I used a firewire 800 external drive and it shows up an I can browse the disk.
    Regards

  • Has anyone tried to import video into iMovie from a DSLR camera?  I can't get it to work

    My problem is simple.... as should be the answer!
    I recently tried to import video from a dslr into iMovie but all I get is rubbish.  What am I doing wrong?
    HELP!

    The only simple answer  without more information is RTM for camera and iPad. You are in the iOS forum so you must be trying to input to an ipad. Tell us what camera, what video format and exact destination.

  • Can't import videos into imovie from movie files

    I am having difficulty importing .mov files into iMovie.  When I go to file>import>videos, I can find my .mov files I want to move to iMovie.  It says it is converting.  The files show up in my iMovie folders in Finder but no thumbnails are showing up in iMovie.  Any suggestions?

    The audio codec looks fine. The video codec is h.264 which is usually good for iMovie, but there can be variants that iMovie cannot handle. Another interesting thing about the h.264 is that it is anamorphic, which means it stores as 1440x1080, but simulates 1920x1080 by using rectangular pixels.
    If I were trying to make this work, I would try converting it using a free tool called MPEG Streamclip, available here. I use the Beta version. http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Drag your clip into MPEG Streamclip. Then click FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. For Compression, choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Leave the audio codec unchanged.
    For Frame size, choose 1920x1080.
    Check Interlaced Scaling, and for Field Dominance use Upper Field First, but if it looks bad, you can try checking "Deinterlace Video".
    Click Make Movie. Give it a name and store it where you can find it.
    Now try importing into iMovie using FILE/IMPORT MOVIE.

  • Can't import videos into iMovie

    Hello, there!
    I just captured a few videos with my screen capture app on my windows laptop. After I transferred them onto my iMac and converted them into .mp4 files i wanted to import them into iMovie but when i selected them only video 4 and 6 out of 6 videos imported into iMovie. i don't know whats the problem when i try again to import the other videos he is loading for like 1 second and nothing happens. i have already tried to restart iMovie and have also restarted my mac.
    Also, this is not the first time something like this happens. but last time the problem just disappeared after a few retries...
    please help! i want to upload them to youtube as soon as possible!

    iMovie uses QuickTime file formats or DV Stream files directly from a camcorder.
    If your files don't open or play properly in QuickTime Player they will not "import" into iMovie.
    If you're authoring on a PC you must keep this basic fact as part of your your export scheme.
    iPod videos are usually 320X240 and will not look good when scaled up to DV dimensions. Some use 480 width MPEG-4 video codecs that could scale but you may not be happy with the results.
    Most Windows exports use Windows only codecs and this is the reason you're not seeing the video. Try exporting as a DV format (blah.dv) from Movie Maker. It may only appear as an option export to .AVI using those codecs.

  • Importing videos to iMovie issue

    Recently, when I import videos from my SD card, from my camera, to iMovie on my MacBook Pro (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5), the videos that show up don't have the sound waves on the bottom but they still have audible sound. However, it makes editing this videos harder since I can't see the waves and where the audio ends in case I want to attach another clip right after it. Other times, the video I import just has no sound, no visible sound waves, has a flat red line on the top, and is just a random still frame that lasts for less than a second. And other times, the video I import is a cut off section of the original video. For example, I may import a 30 second video but I get 15 seconds of a random section of that video.
    I'm quite sure it has nothing to do with the SD card or my camera since I have used other SD cards and it has also had the same problems.
    This whole issue only started a couple months ago and I already had my laptop for more than half a year and it has worked perfectly before.
    Is there some update I should get for iMovie? I'm not exactly sure what version it is, but it should be iMovie '11.
    It's all really frustrating as I have to refilm whatever I filmed and it doesn't work multiple times. And after spending 8 hours on it one time, I imported it one last time and everything was perfect. Sound waves were visible, sound was there, full clips, everything.
    Super frustrating.
