Is there a way to edit in Imovie without the format being DV?

So I have to give a small project to someone just to decide what parts they want in and out. I was going to use Imovie because it is easy for them to use. Problem is I don't want the file size to be too big. I don't care about quality, this is just for them to see what parts of an interview to keep. I would like to be able to import mp4's or some other compressed format and have Imovie keep it in this format and not convert it to DV. It's a difference of 2MB vs 75MB. I tried when I opened a new project to change the video format but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Tanks for the quick replies everyone! I think some of the replies that mis understood my question though. I want to actually send the Imovie file to the person. This is what I am doing
I have 23 clips from different interviews. I want to send a Imovie file to this person so that he can put them in the order he wants the clips to go in, move them around, delete them and so on. I am just using this as a reference for the file. I am working in final cut and I am going to just use what he does in the Imovie file as a guideline of what I will be editing. In final cut you can change what the timeline video format is (jpeg, mp4, etc) so you can share edits and files without sending the full uncompressed video files. This is kinda what I want to do.
Thanks

  • Is there a way to have hardware acceleration without the text font change? + Eye straining firefox!

    Is there a way to have hardware acceleration without the text font change? I remember there was a way to go into settings before and getting hardware acceleration to work without the font change. Unfortunately I lost ALL my previous setting when uninstalling the beta ver Nightly and clicking delete settings :(.
    Also, I fixed a problem before where firefox was visually eye straining to me, I think it was some settings in anti-alias tuner, but I cant seem to find the right settings that puts less strain on my eyes, anyone know? Thanks ahead. Currently using FF7.

    Try to toggle some Boolean gfx.font_rendering prefs on the about:config page to disable some features.<br />
    Filter: gfx
    Others to try:
    * set gfx.direct2d.disabled to true to disable Direct2D

  • Is there a way to edit raw files from the Canon 5DMkIII in Lightroom 2?

    I rented a Canon 5DMkIII this past weekend and shot in RAW. I'm running Lightroom 2.7 on my laptop because I have a pre-Intel dual-G5 tower at home and can't run LR3 or LR4 on a pre-Intel chip machine and I tend to share my libraries across my laptop to my tower and back (so I need to be able to open the LR files on both machines, which is why I'm still using LR2 ... I know, I know, I need to upgrade but that's going to be a hefty investment!)... In the meantime, I'm wondering if there's a way to view/edit the raw files in Lightroom? They won't even import (I get the message upon import attempt: "Some import operations were not performed. (97)")... I know the information is there, though, because I used PhotoMechanic to do the initial sort of my images that I wanted to keep/edit. I see there's ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 6.7 (I think it is) that supports the 5DMkIII, but I'd prefer to edit across the board in Lightroom, it's so much faster. Is there something I can download to still edit my raw files in LR2? Or, do I have to buy the update and get LR4 if I want to edit my 5DMkIII RAW files? Thanks in advance for your help!!

    Support for the canon 5d Mk111 was introduced in LR 4, ACR 6.7 so you will have to use the Adobe DNG Converter 6.7 or later to convert the raw files to dng format before you can import and work with the files in LR 2. The converter is a free download from Adobe and is available at this link.

  • Is there a way to edit track order in the new info window?

    The "Get Info" window changed for version 12.1, and in the process, the "track number" fields were eliminated. Is there still a way to edit track order on albums, or has that option been taken away entirely?

    Okay. I'm still on iTunes 11.4.
    -> Using the new iTunes - Apple Support
    "Get Info
    To see more info about an item, select it and choose File > Get Info. Get Info has been completely redesigned in iTunes 12 to focus your attention only on what’s necessary for the selected item.
    If you’d like to add a field that isn’t visible, click Add Field in the lower-left corner of the Get Info window. You can select additional fields and set fields you’d like to always show. In iTunes 12, Get Info opens on the Details tab, and information about the file can be found on the File tab."

  • Is there a way to edit album info without having to update each song individually?

    So I am currently working on ripping my CD collection into iTunes. However sometimes the iTunes default information is wrong (album artwork, year, etc.)
    So is there a way I can update an album quicker than having to select each track and go one by one. For example...if the correct year for a particular album is 1994 and iTunes had it at something else, is there a way I can just enter the correct info and have it update all tracks in that album in one shot? Thanks.

    Click on the first track, shift+click on the last track.  Command+i to get info on the group (same as for single).

  • Is there a way to Export from STP without the timeframe of every track being the same?

    I figured out how to export each file as a batch but I cannot get the time endings correct. All of them would be at 5:00 when some end at 3:44 or 2:50 . Is there something I forgot or doing wrong here?

  • HT3986 Is there a way to install my drivers, without the install disc, or a way to get another install disc?

    I have a 27 inch, 2011 Mac. Its running Mountain Lion X, and I want to install Windows 7 via boot camp. I understand without the install disc, my mouse and keyboard won't work (or maybe it's just keyboard, as I have a Cyborg mouse). Without the disc - is there a way to get the required drivers, or a way to get another disc?
    Thanks!

    There is no install disk for Mountain Lion, you download the Windows Support Software using Boot Camp Assistant (as you are creating the partition)
    Backup your machine first, then Read This before you start.

  • Is there a way to install bootcamp drivers without the cd?

    Well, I know it is really easy to install te drivers, but i left my Leopard CD at my other house. Is there any way i could download the drivers or something? I bought Leopard, i just don't have the disc with me.

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    sorry but no luck.
    There is no download possibility for the drivers. At least not until the next BootCamp Update.
    And with BootCamp 2.0 the drivers are no longer part of the Bootcamp Assistant in OSX.
    You need the OSX DVD for the drivers.

  • Is there any way to edit video imported to the ipad?

    I'll stop my search for a way to import video files from my sony camera if I can't even edit them once I get them onto the ipad.

    Unless there is a 3rd party app that provides for this, the answer is no.
    Apple will have an iMovie app for the iPhone 4 for editing video that was captured with the iPhone 4, but not sure if the same will be available for the iPad.
