Hi Sarah-BBY,
I know you love the color pink, and I'm sure any mother that wants to capture videos of their family that likes the color pink as much as you do would love this camcorder. They could also look at the new Flip Video UltraHD flash based camcorder which has the added bonus of being able to record in High Definition and costs only slightly more. This camcorder has gotten very good reviews, but sadly it doesn't come in pink.

Kodak Zi6 -- ipad2 iMovie?

I have read that as long as my movie is 720p, it should import into iPad2.
I have imported a few movies and I can play them in the Photos app with no problem. But when I open iMovie, they are not there. The Kodak Zi6 creates .mov files so you would think this would not be an issue.
Here is the specs on the Zi6: http://www.retrevo.com/search?q=Kodak+Zi6&rt=sp&modelid=21284703
Thanks for any help.

In your Events library, there should be an event called "iPhoto Events". It should be in there. I have a different Kodak that shoots 720P h.264 and it works fine.
Note: This answer is for iMovie 11, which is where you posted. If you are referring to the iPad version of iMovie, let me know and I will ask the hosts to move your question to the iMovie for IOS discussion. There are people there who will likely be able to answer.

BBM Group Chat Message Retrieval - Help Make a Mother's Day!

Hey folks,
I recently returned from a trip abroad and while away I sent to my family various messages to a little BBM Group my younger sister help set up of what I had done the previous days. For some reason that remains to be seen, the default setting on BBM Groups is keep messages for 3 days. Needless to say, there were a few messages that my mom really liked and wants to save, but she isn't technologically inclined and they have since disappeared from her phone.
Is there any way to get these messages back? Perhaps a phone restore to a few days ago or something? Or is there someone I can call at BB or my carrier (Rogers) to get them to retrieve it? Surely it's saved on a server somewhere.
My mom woke up this morning stressed beyond belief that she's lost one message I sent in particular (the one reflecting on the trip as a whole) and she would love to be able to save it.
Thanks, and to the mothers out there: have a happy mother's day!

Where did Mother's Day Orignated from?

As the Mother's Day is coing nearer I just wonder where didi it come from?
Mother's Day . . . Few of us are more than dimly aware of the history of our modern celebration of these extraordinary women. You can perhaps recall enough of the history of Mother's Day to know that it originated in the hills of Appalachia and is now celebrated in countries throughout the world. What you may not realize is that the founder of Mother's Day eventually confessed that she regretted ever starting the tradition.
In the United States, Mother's Day originated nearly 150 years ago, when Anna Jarvis, an Appalachian homemaker, organized a "Mother's Work Day" to raise awareness of poor economic and health conditions affecting the children in her community, a cause she believed would be best advocated by mothers.
Fifteen years later, Julia Ward Howe, a pacifist, suffragist, and author of the lyrics to the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," proposed an annual event called Mother's Day, but the idea received little support. She organized a day encouraging mothers to rally for peace, since she believed they bore the loss of human life more harshly than anyone else.
When Anna Jarvis died in 1905, her daughter (also named Anna) wished to create a memorial to her mother's work and began a campaign to institute an official holiday to honor mothers. The first Mother's Day observance was a church service honoring Anna's mother and all mothers that Anna arranged. She supplied the decorations for the service -- white carnations, her mother's favorite flowers, chosen because they represent sweetness, purity, and endurance. Today the white flowers signify that one's mother has died and red carnations in time became the symbol of a living mother.
I just bought my mother's favorite drama One Tree HIll Seasons 1-9 dvd and I will give her a big surprise.

I got a shipping notice for mine this evening. Fedex says they picked it up in Fullerton, CA.
My understanding is that Apple routinely does the CTO/BTO final configurations in the USA.

Kodak Zi6 and Premiere Elements?

I tried to import HD video from a Kodak Zi6 into Premiere Elements 3 and it wouldn't take it. Will Version 7 accept it? Has anyone tried it?
If I try to convert it to a format that Version 3 will take, will it degrade the HD quality?

Thanks so much Steve for answering so quickly. I had already found one of
your earlier posts about the Prism Converter and converted the HD60 video
from the Kodak Zi6 into avi and it worked like a charm. I was able to
import it into Premiere Elements just fine. I usually shoot with a Sony VX
2100 DV Camera but have a cheap Sony DCR HC-52 DV camera to carry in my
saddlebags when I am trailriding on my horse. I am not satisfied with the
quality of the video of HC-52 and think the Kodak Zi6 might be easy to carry
and solve the problem of portability. The video seems quite satisfactory,
much less grainy than the DV from the HC-52 even if the controls, especially
the zoom, are unbelievably limited. I ride into some beautiful back-country
and hope to bring back some video others would have a hard time acquiring.
Thanks again,

Flip Ultra video, Mino HD, or Kodak Zi6 camera

I am interested in purchasing either a Flip Ultra Video, Flip Mino HD or a Kodak Zi6 video camera. I know the Kodak will hold more video as it will take a SD card. What I want to use one of these cameras for is quick, on the spot videos from kids parties, sport events, quick vacation videos, etc... I want to be able to shoot video, plug it in to the USB, store the video on the mac and be able to burn a disc (easily) when I want to and be able to send them out to family for play on their DVD players. I'm not interested in doing a lot of editing (yet), just point, shoot, plug in and burn. I have been to the electronic stores to play with them and have seen how easy they are to use. Does anyone have opinions or advice on which one will be the best for my more simple needs?

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
I can't speak for the other two models, as I haven't tried them (..though I have tried, and used, the ordinary Flip which shoots in standard-definition 4x3 aspect).
But I use the Flip minoHD occasionally (..whip it out of the pocket, press the switch to start, and then press the big red button to record..) and it's very handy, and the resolution is terrific for such a teeny device.
It has only a 2x zoom, however, and that's a digital zoom; which means that the picture is less sharp (..it's simply magnified..) than normal when it's zoomed.
At its standard, un-zoomed, resolution though, it's a surprisingly good camera.
Just so that you can see how it looks, here's some footage (..the last sixth of this short video..) shot with the FmHD. You may have to wait a little while for this to load, depending on how fast your broadband connection is..

'Unknown File' error with H.264 clips from Kodak zi6

Hi everyone
I'm trying to import some clips taken with a Kodak zi6 into Final Cut Pro, and I'm getting an 'Unknown File' error. The clips are H.264 quicktimes, 720p60 (well, actually 59.94fps). They open & playback in Quicktime Pro without any problems whatsoever, so I can't figure out why FCP doesn't like them. I've just now tried transcoding one to a ProRes422 as well and FCP rejects that as well. Does it have something to do with framerate?
As an aside, I'm not terribly thrilled with the ProRes transcode either, there's a HUGE difference in colourspace for the worse. The H.264 actually looks better and more accurate.
Any thoughts welcome!

I experienced the exact same problem. However iMovie 08, which has radically reduced functionality imports the files fine. Something that I noticed that might be an issue is that in Quicktime Pro if you "Show Movie Inspector" you will see that the codec of the Zi6 files is listed as "Ambarella AVC encoder." They are NOT listed as H.264. This may be significant. It may be a flavor of H.264 but seems kind of "windows low budget" to me.
Also as a point of clarity, in my experience Final Cut Pro WILL edit H.264 files with no problem. It is not ideal for quality reasons but it works fine.

Importing Mov from a Kodak Zi6

Hi,
I am trying to edit footage someone gave me on their Kodak Zi6. I plugged it into my computer via USB and dragged the files onto my HD. I then imported them into FCP v.5.0.1. I am able to view and edit the files however, the render time is VERY long. (20 minutes for 10 seconds of footage) I don't where the issue lies. (Sequence settings, incompatible format etc?) Can someone help please!
Thanks

Duh! Just answered my own question after a little more searching.
I used Mpeg Streamclip and exported the files using the following Export settings:
Compression: Apple Intermediate Codec
Quality: 100%
Frame Size: 1280x720 (unscaled) or 1280x720 HDTV 720p
The Bad News: The converted files will be about six times larger than the original. So if you're using a lot of clips make sure you have lots of hard drive space. Thinking about going back to iMovie for uncomplicated everyday video stuff.

Lost 1st Mother's Day pics & videos, please help!

Please help! I think I have lost all of my 1st Mother's Day's pics and videos!
I received an iPhone 4 for Mother's Day, and the AT&T store was not able to transfer anything over. They stated that I would need to sync at home. I asked if I could go ahead and start using the phone, and they said yes.
Well several hours and lots of Mother's Day's videos and pics later, we arrived home, and I synced my new phone. Now, all the videos and pics are gone. Please say that there is a way that I can get those back? Or are they gone forever? Please say that I can get them back!
Thank you in advance for y'all's assistance and/or suggestions.

You should have imported them as you would from any digital camera.

If itunes backed up your iphone before it synced, then you could restore from backup and get your pics/vids. otherwise they are gone.

Had Ipad stolen after two months of having it on mother's day!

My Ipad was stolen from me on Mother's Day, yes Mother's Day. I just left my dad's house after dropping my kids off with him to hang out. When I returned home my Ipad charger was still plugged into the wall, but the Ipad was not hooked up to it. (I was charging it before I left the battery was dying and my dad stays less than 20 minutes away). Well after making a police report weeks later my brother confessed his thug friend stole it from out of the house. Unfortunately that thug moved to another county and the police won't make an arrest unless I have a name and a address although I had a telephone number. I already had Icloud registered on my Ipad before it was stolen, but it has yet to locate it. Is there another possible way of finding it?

I mean it's pretty obvious the police have something better to do. I just hate that somebody would go as far as to steal. I guess I take it so personal because I bought it the same week my doctor called me to let me know there were no more tumors (they were turning into cancer). I mean when your 22 you don't want to find out you have tumors turning into cancer and your in your second stage. So my test coming back negative for cancer cells and my 23rd birthday being a week later was AWESOME! You always have that one person that tries to break you he ****** me off, but good things came soon after!
Thanks for the advice BobTheFisherman sometimes I try to catch myself, but sometimes people have to remind me hey just buy a new one! lol

Trying to finish mother's day gift- Having issues- PLEASE HELP!!!

Hello.
I worked for hours on this movie trying to figure it all out. After I would get pretty far into making the movie...it would say that my disk was almost full. So then I saved the project to my external hard drive, and then after it saved when I tried to add a new photo-it looked like it was loading it- then the photo just dissappeared from the timeline. It pretty much won't let me alter the project at all.
I am very new to the Mac, and to the Imovie program. I figured out the program for the most part, but I have no idea how to save it correctly so it does not become corrupt. I have redone the movie 3 or 4 times, but as soon as the computer's capacity gets close to being full, I have to save it to the external drive, and once I do that all kinds of problems arise.
Can someone please tell me how to do this correctly...and in as simple of terms as possible
I am trying to have this done by Sunday for Mother's Day...and I still have hours of work to do!!!
THANK YOU!!

And agreed that while you were still working on
the project and iDVD may be looking for
it, it is a good idea to keep it on your start-up
drive.
But that's not what you said, Klaus1.
I agree that as we work in iDVD the iMovie project shouldn't be moved. But that wasn't jledney's situation. He/she simply wanted to move the project to an external drive because the main drive was filling up. There is no reason that can't be done, assuming the drive has the correct format.
A fair read of your comments is that we must begin and finish creating a DVD of the iMovie project before we can move an iMovie project to an external drive, and that's not correct. Apparently that's not what you intended to say.

Kodak Zi6 Support??

I found an HD video someone posted up on vimeo.com and he posted that he used a kodak zi6 and final cut pro to make the video. But does Final Cut Express 4.0 work with the Zi6? it doesn't seem to be recognizing the files from the camera in the log and transfer window. Please help

using mpeg streamclip i converted zi6 files to:
29.97 fps
1280 x 720
apple intermediate codec
5.8 mb/sec
square pixel
for sound i set to uncompressed:
48.0 kHz
16 bit-integer
i set the FCP audio/video settings:
HDV 720p30
but still, i have to render. so i try to do a clip without sound (thought maybe sound was causing need to render in fcp) but it still asked for render.
what could i be doing wrong? is there another conversion software i should try?
thank you!

System Settings for Kodak Zi6

Yikes, this is driving me nuts.
When I export from FCE for youtube, I'm getting some funky borders/margins. And I think it is my system settings.
I'm eager to export to 1280 x 720, as that is what YouTube says is it's max.
What do I set for System Settings for the HD from a Zi6?
Thanks so much.
Brad
For a bonus question, do I have to change the settings when I use lower quality video from my Casio Exilim, which I only rarely use, but sometimes like to mix video from that camera in w/ video from the Zi6
THANKS!

here's the youtube video to see the margins http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B9SkvhoUYw

Any chance at a Memorial Day sale similar to the Mother's Day sale?

Missed my chance at getting my wife a discounted device (S5 or M8) and was hoping that we might get another device sale for Memorial Day.

Possibly - I just got an email, literally minutes ago, offering the iPhone5c for free on a line eligible for upgrade on my account. Most of these sales and deals are not advertized in advance, so you need to wait and see.
