IPhone 4 - iMovies - won't edit videos from other albums

So I have the iPhone 4 and I have iMovie it. Well I've made some videos on it and it worked perfectly.... Until today. Today I was going to make a tribute video for my uncle who had died. I was going to incorporate pictures and videos I had of him. Well the videos were on my computer so I synced my phone and 2 videos on my phone. When I went to iMovies to start my editing and the videos never showed up. They are in the right format (mp4) so I don't know why it didn't work. So I tried trimming some parts and sending them to my camera roll and even that didn't work. Can anybody tell me what I can do to get this to work? Or can iMovies only work on videos you recorded with your phone?

Just a quick update on my issue... which seems different than most.  To summarize, I tried updating from iTunes 10.6 directedly via USB.  Got an empty progress bar when it "rebooted" after "successfully updating" to 5.1 with a memory allocation bar on itunes showing most the memory as allocated to "other", instead of the usual memory allocation to apps, music, pcits, etc.  Rebooted the phone, but still came up with an empty progress bar, but would connect to itunes.. showing booted as 5.1, but again the memory was still allocated to "other".  Started recovery process on itunes to try to bring back my old config, after which the iphone fully booted (into 5.1), but was completely.... recovered and re-installed all my apps, music, etc without a hitch and rebooted successfully, this time the memory allocation was correctly labeled, but somewhere I gained 2.0 GB of memory, even with all the same apps and music installed.  I had to do some minor additional configurations (password lock had to be re-enabled), but otherwise, everything was working.  A bunch of apps lost their stored settings... which I though strange as I expected the "backups" to store those settings as well.   Otherwise, running 5.1 now without issues... seems much snappier than 5.0.1... but the process was nerve racking to say the least.
Best of luck with other "explorers" tyring to make the whole process work.

  • IMovie won't import video from dvd's

    I had all my home video tapes converted to dvd's. But I can't import them into iMovie. iMovie doesn't seem to recognize the file type, example "VTS011.VOB". It seems to filter them all out. Help please.

    you'll realize some (dramatic) loss in quality, because a video-dvd uses a very lossy compression codec (mpeg2)

  • IMovie edit video from digital still cameras...

    The information states that you can edit video from you still digital cameras. Access it through the media browser. There is an option for iPhoto videos, but when I try to look there my videos are not there. It appears they did not add any functionality or import feature of previously unsupported videos. Most all SONY digital cameras record video as MPEG1 Muxed, 640 x 480 pixels. I can play them in QT but still can not edit them in iMovie.
    Am I missing something?

    Barry, this is from Apple's page New in iMovie08
    *Expanded format support.*
    iMovie supports standard and high definition video, as well as the most popular formats, including DV, HDV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and even AVCHD.
    Looks like MPEG-1 is not supported

  • Premiere Pro CS4 - editing video from GoPro video camera

    I am having a problem trying to edit video from the GoPro camera in Premiere Pro CS4 (PP). Have not been able to get much help from GoPro - they just tell me to speak with Adobe. I think the video codec used by the camera is MJPEG (?). It won't play at all on the timeline. Interestingly it will in After Effects (AE) CS4 and if I export it out of AE as a Microsoft AVI file I can then play it in PP. However if I go straight to Media Encoder and import the clip and then try export the clip via ME as a Microsoft AVI the exported clip from ME won't play in Premiere Pro. I am confused. Does anyone know this camera, it's codec and why it just won't work when directly imported into Premiere Pro but it will when imported directly into After Effects. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

    Please see a post I made this morning under my screen name BruceERoberts .... details below
    I just purchase Adobe Premiere Pro a few days ago - and subsequently updated it to Ver 4.2.1.  A started a new project - I tried to import some video footage I just shot with a GOPro Hemet Cam while skiing at our local mountain.  I can easlily see the clip using Real Media Player - or the Quick Time player.  It is a 10.9 MB ... 7 second MPEG-4 movie clip.  File name is "gopro0030.mp4"
    I created a "bin" called video .... then right clicked to import the file.  You can see the file name in the media browser.  But the file would not import.  I received this error message:  "109C ImporterProcessServer.exe  Application Error.  The instruction at "0x05efcac" referenced memory at "0x00000014".  The memory could not be read. CLick OK to terminate."
    This is very frustrating - I just purchased the software - and it won't import a 7 second video clip!  It did import still fotos with no problem.  What can I do?
    thank you for your attention to this.

  • Cannot play/edit video from camcorder (Sony)

    I am using iMovie 11 (latest version) under Lion on a 17" MBP with 8gb RAM. There are two scenarios I have followed to edit video from my Sony HDR-CX150 camcorder:
    I import directly into iMovie from the camera using a USB cable. The program finds the video files, imports them into clips, and they appear in the clip area of the program's screen.
    I read the files into a folder and convert them to .mp4 files using Video-Converter from Wondershare. I then import the mp4 clips into iMovie with the same results as in 1.
    In both cases, when I attempt to play a clip, is starts, I heart the sound for about 3-5 seconds, after which it mutes. The video does not play; the playback pane continues to show the first frame of the clip. If I scrub along the clip, however, I see the video play and hear the audio. I know that Apple says they don't support this Sony camera in iMovie, but it seems that it should at least support .mp4 clips as I create with Video-Converter.
    I have tried recording in HD and Standard modes, to no avail. Quicktime plays the clips without a hitch. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Your '''''More System Details''''' doesn't show Adobe Flash as being installed! Did you install the Plugin version of Flash? Or did you just update the ActiveX version of Flash which is used only by Internet Explorer?

  • IPhoto won't import video from a Samsung HZ15W digital camera.

    iPhoto won't import video from a Samsung HZ15W digital camera. What's the easiest way to get the video imported. Also, didn't prior versions of iPhoto accept this format?

    As you don't mention the version of iPhoto, I can only guess that you've been caught in the gap between Apple and Samsung. Somethign changed with iPhoto 11 and it's quite rigid about how timecode is handled in video and there's something not quite standard in the Samsung timecode. Google around a bit for more.
    And, as Larry say, try iMovie

  • Can Pre Pro CS6 edit video from Canon XA10 without transcoding?

    Can Premiere Pro CS6 edit video from a Canon XA10 camera (XP+ mode 1440 x 1080) on a PC (Win7 64 i7 860 4GB) without any prior transcoding?
    I would like to emphasize the 1440 x 1080 source video part because other editing software I have tried doesn't fully support this format.
    Thanks

    Yes.

  • Firefox won't play videos from YouTube, Hulu, etc. w/latest Flash version.

    Despite following both Firefox and Flash directions, Firefox won't play videos from YouTube, Hulu, etc. They either never load or they load and freeze within seconds. Before I got the latest versions of Firefox and Flash, I did not have this problem. So there must be a problem in one or both of them. Since I understand from various websites that this is a widespread problem, can Firefox fix this? It's a major flaw in the latest Firefox version.

    Ok, thanks!  I'm pretty new to having multiple apple products.  Another question though, if I delete, say Christmas music, from my device and it is still in itunes, will it automatically sync back to my device next time I sync it?
