Keynote project to iMovie?

Is it possible to import a Keynote project into iMovie for the purpose of laying in a sound track, adjusting it to the slides, then turning the completed Keynote project into a Quicktime movie for playing on TV?

It's definitely possible, but you will have to adjust your proposed workflow. The first thing that you are going to want to do is export the keynote presentation as a Quicktime movie. So that it can be imported by iMovie. Then you will need to lay the soundtrack. Finally, you will need to export the movie from iMovie as a Quicktime movie.
This will involve a bit of planning in advance. Before you export the movie to Quicktime from Keynote, you are going to need to figure out slide durations and transitions. You will have to set the transitions be automatic (no click-through movie for you, since I suspect iMovie would not be too happy with that). Depending on how you are wishing to fit the soundtrack to your movie, it might be an iterative process to get the transitions and durations just right.
Why not add the audio directly in Keynote instead? iMovie '08 is not notorious for advanced soundtrack and audio options, so I'm not sure that you are gaining anything by adding the soundtrack in iMovie. More info might help clarify this.

Tutorials on using Keynote to enhance iMovie or IWeb projects

Are their any tutorials, urls, etc. that go into depth about using Keynote to improve iMovie or iWeb projects? In other words, using the features of Keynote to produce some cool object that is then placed in one of those programs?
I have been doing some already, but suspect I am barely scratching the surface of what Keynote could do for iMovie or iWeb.
Thanks
bob

The best way I've found to make a movie from a presentation on the iPad is with the app Explain Everything. You can send your keynote file to Explain Everything as a pdf and then narrate and annotate while recording audio. In the end Explain Everything outputs mpeg-4 videos that most any device can view. We use it heavily for the classes I teach.

Export keynote project

Hi, i have created a keynote project and when i play the presentation inside keynote itself i press the right arrow to go to thext slide (ok).
Now i have exported it in a quicktime movie and i would expect the same behavior. Instead the movie does not stop at the end of every slide.
Can someone help me?
best

AVCHD is no export option in iMovie, but for sure you can do an Hidef projekt 'Export with Quicktime...' and choose 1920x1080/h264 to create a HiDef.mov ...

When you move or copy the compound clips with their events into an external drive all the events should be there. Not clear on why you want to move them into a single event. You can drag and drop from one event to another.
Why are you using compound clips? You can simply copy the project from each machine with used media onto the external drive and that should do it.

I exited iMovie and lost my project. I am able to find it in Finder, under the Movies tab, but can not get it back to a project in iMovie. Is there a way to restore it?

Please help! I exited iMovie and lost my project that I've been working on for days... I am able to find it in "Finder" under iMovie Projects... but I am unable to open it as a Project in iMovie. I am using iMovie '11, with no time machine, and I'm on a MacBook Pro.

I fully sympathise with you, as I recently experienced the same issue (as have many others).
Projects always appear as normal in Finder in the Home folder Movies/iMovie Projects (or on an external disk at the top level in Movies/iMovie Projects). Nothing looks untoward there.
However, when iMovie is opened again after an editing session, the most recent project worked on does not appear in the listing of projects in iMovie's Project Library - although it is still listed in the Finder folder . This happens for no apparent reason - no unexpected quits, freezes, or crashes, and nothing else out of the ordinary. iMovie is simply not recognizing the project. It can't even be opened by double-clicking on the project in Finder.

Sorry to bombard you with all these links, but as you will see there are others here reporting the same problem. No solution has been forthcoming unfortunately.
Be sure to provide feedback to Apple - in iMovie's menu click on iMovie > Provide iMovie Feedback, then complete the online form.

How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share form

How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share formats (iDVD, mp4, and last of all iTunes). The project label now carries signal with yellow triangled exclamation “i tunes out of date”.
To solve the sync problem I’m following advice and detaching sound from all of the 100 or so short clips. This operation has been stalled by the spinning ball. Shut down restart has not helped.
The Project is mounted from Iomega and superspeed ext hd connected to imovie09 on macosx 10.5.8.
What to do to resume repairs to the audio sync problem and so successfully share for youtube upload?

How do I find the size of a project in iMovie '11?

I want to know how much memory a project in iMovie is using on my hard drive. How do I do that?

In iMovie 9, look in your iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folders.
In iMovie 10, look in your .imovielibrary package (right click & select "Show package contents")
The default location of these is in your Users / ,user name> / Movies folder.

Creating a new project in imovie '09

Good afternoon.
When a user creates a new project in iMovie '09 it gets put into the user's Movies folder. This is fine on a stand-alone, but with Network Home Directories it's not, because of the bandwidth needed to transfer files across our network. Is there any way for the user to decide where their new project is to be stored please?

I also successfully created a still frame to a new project I created for this purpose.
Move to a frame in your EVENT, control left-click and select "Add Still frame to project" from the pop-up menue. It will be added at the END of your selected project.
After that, I am still trying to find a way to save that still to iPhoto'09 as a photo.

I have a finalized project in iMovie '11. Shared it on Youtube, Facebook, and Vimeo. Then, when I shared it to iDVD, it reverted to a previous version of the project, so my titles and pictures were out of sequence. My final project is now gone!

Then, when I shared it to iDVD, it reverted to a previous version of the project, so my titles and pictures were out of sequence. Now, in my list of projects, my project is there, but finalized as the previous version which is all out of sequence. My true final project is now gone! What happend?
I didn't notice this problem until after the DVD was burned in iDVD. Then, when I played the DVD in a public setting, I was a bit embarrassed by what played.

Hi
My first thoughts are
• iMovie ill behaving - Trash the iMovie pref file - use to set things right
• in reg. to Photos - Did You change iPhoto Photo Library - Then iMovie get's lost as it peeks into iPhoto on start up to see where photos are stored. Set iPhoto back to first Photo Library (when iMovie is not running) then start iMovie.

How do I share a new project on imovie if the export option is greyed out and not an option?

Importing projects into iMovie '11

Hi.
I've been trying the last couple of days to get my old projects, wich i made on my iMac in iMovie '08, inro iMovie '11 on my MacBook Pro.
I've tried to use the "Import iMovie HD-Project" function, but i can't mark the files. I've tried to jut open the old projects, but then iMovie just opens up the one i was editing last time, and I've tried to drag the old ones into iMovie while this was open.
NOTHING works. I've been searching all over this forum and others, but non of the answers i could find helped me out.
I therefor hope that some of you can help me out on this one.
PS. All my procejts have the endning .rcproject, and not .iMovieProject. I tried to change this on one of the old ones, and then it just created a folder instead, wich i could put into iMovie as a project, but EMPTY! So i would have to start from scratch.
Best Regards

That was actually what i did on my very first try, because that's almost always the sulution when copying files around like this, but it didn't seemed to help.
i copied iMovie projects/ folder, iMovie events/ folder and the iMovie original movies/ folder into the original movies/ folder on my MacBook.
After i did that, i got the events but no projects.
So i started a new project, just to see what happend, at it automaticaly created a new folder "iMovie projects" which was EXACTLY the same as the one i copied into movies/.
Then i tried copying the projects from "my own" movies/iMovie Projects folder, to the identical one which iMovie created itself. Still nothing happens.
I might have made som minor mistakes, but nothing i can point out myself.
And also... My OS is running in danish, and I'm not sure what the iMovie events/ and iMovie original movies/ folders are called. If that matters.

Creating a new project in imovie

I have a project that is having a lot of issues playing back in full screen...iMovie 11'...it is running over an hour, I have a suspicion it is the audio (voiceovers and such)...how do I save, finalize, or move half the movie so that i can create 2 halves? I am assuming that in doing so, I can alleviate the size and perhaps create a first and second half...does this sound correct or is there a way to help this in the current project?
thanks!

You have to update iMovie 9 projects to iMovie 10 from within iMovie 10 before they will appear in iMovie 10 as iMovie 10 uses a completely different project/event file system. After updating you can still work on projects in iMovie 9 but you won't see any changes made in iMovie 10 and you can't transfer them back.
I would have a good look at the iMovie 10 help files first since a lot is changed and some features have been discontinued that might be important to you.
In order to try out iMovie 10 on just one of your iMovie 9 projects, put the folders just for that project in a separate iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folder and hide the project and event folders containing the projects you don't want to update from iMovie 10 by enclosing them in a higher level folder (only projects and events folders in the Movies folder of the boot drive or at the root level of another drive or partition will be visible to iMovie).
I did it this way and I'm glad I didn't try to update evrything at once!

Error message when trying to finalize project in iMovie

I get the following message when I attempt to finalize my project in iMovie:
"The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred.
(OpWrErr: file already open with with write permission)"
This message appears well into the 6 or 7 hour anticipated time to finalize the 25 minute long project.
Do I need to finalize my project in order to burn it to cd once I have it ready to send to others for viewing?

Thanks to all here in the community. I was able to search through previous posts and find solutions to my iMovie output issues. I solved the write permission issue by turning off Time Machine and found that sharing to iTunes seems to create a more satsifactory quality output.

I can't burn a project from iMovie to a dvd why?

my mac didn't have idvd untill i instaled it but when i try to burn a project from imovie, the dvd doesn't work on any other computer what can i do?

What are you using to burn the movie to DVD? If you are using Finder, it will not work on other DVD players (not sure about other computers). In order to work anywhere, you need a dedicated video burn/authoring application such as iDVD, Roxio Toast, Burn, or many others you find by googling.
Oops - I missed the fact that you said you installed iDVD? So did you use that or Finder?

iMovie on your Mac has nothing to do with iCloud storage. Download and use Find Any File to search for your iMovie project. FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, packages and system folders. If there a file with your file name on it anywhere on the hard drive FAF will find it.
Do you have Time Machine enabled backing up to an external HD? This situation is exactly what TM is good at. It makes hourly backups so you can go back to find and restore the missing file. All HDs crash at some time or another and having a good backup strategy is the only protection against that.
