Lo-o-o-ng project in 3 iMovie projects. How to combine?

I'm editing a long trip I took, and have it in 3 different iMovie projects, 1 an hour and 22 min., 1 an hour 15 min., and 1 less than hour. Any way to combine these into one iMovie without having to learn FCP?
As it is now, any audio added to these corrupts. HELP!!--Porter

Do you want to put the movies together and edit them down to less than 2hrs so you can make a DVD?
You can either edit each one separately and put 3 movies on one DVD, just be sure that the total time of all of them is less than 2hrs.
Or, you can open up movie 2, copy the movie, close movie2, open movie 1 and paste the clips into it. Then save and close movie 1. Open movie 3, copy and close, then open movie 1 and paste those clips. Now you have all 3 movies in one iMovie, and you can edit it. However, you may notice that the playback in iMovie is now jerky and stuttering. The final DVD should be ok, if you can edit in this manner.
Or, you can finish editing each movie individually, then export them back to camcorder DV tape, reimport into a new iMovie project so that all 3 are on the same movie.
Or, you can save each movie as a QuickTime Full-Quality movie, and open a new iMovie project and drag the QT movies into it. You cannot edit these in the same way as the original iMovies. The QT movies are new movies with the sound/video you put in when editing them the first time. This method will give you a very smooth playback. It will require more free space as you are basically making a copy of each movie. However, once you have created the QT movie, you do not need to save the original iMovie, and can delete it to free up hard drive space.
Then, you can use the QT movies to make your DVDs, either separately,or as one long movie.
One thing to remember: if you made chapter markers in your original iMovie, they will not show up in the QT version, so you will have to create them again.
Hope this is helpful!

In Imovie '11, how can I drag more than one set of video clips to my project?

In Imovie '11, how can I drag more than one set of video clips into my project. I know how to highlight in yellow and drag the set, but can I drag a group of sets? Thanks

To select multiple clips, hold down the command key as you click multiple clips. Then you can drag them all at once.
To drag all clips at once, select one, then Edit/Select All. Then drag them all.

How do I point iMovie to events in my external hard drive so I can play projects which use them?
MacBook, iMovie 9.0.4

Hi
You can do this - by not doing it the way You describe as it will not work.
a. the external hard disk - MUST BE - Mac OS extended (hfs) formatted -
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - will work for most things - BUT NOT FOR VIDEO (iMovie, iDVD or FinalCut doesn't matter)
b. Do not alter or move any folder named
• iMovie Event's - or -
• iMovie Project's
on DeskTop/Finder - at all
All moving's of Events and Projects must be done within the iMovie Application - then connections will not break.
(move them back and see if iMovie remembers them - then do move as described above)

Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto

Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto.
Hi I've done a lot of searches on how to do this but no answers found.
Imovie is beginning to become really slow because of the large number of video's. It takes 3 minutes to startup. Editing is sometimes slow lot's of spinning beach balls e.t.c.
I would like to only import the video I want to edit and hopefully get a quicker Imovie in the process.
My Iphoto library is about 95 Gbyte in size.
My mac has 4 gb ram and I use the internal disk.
Any other ways to work with Imovie/Iphoto are also welcome.
regards

I won't get iMovie 9 till Tuesday, but based on what you said I may need to take some precautions. One reason I didn't like iMovie 8 is because it automatically imported everything in iPhoto library. What I'm going to do is create a new iPhoto library before importing the photos/videos from the camera. Or if you already have it in your main iPhoto library copy only the photos you'll use in your iMovie 9 project to the new library. Then start iPhoto while pressing the option key which will allow you to select the new iPhoto library you have created. Then I suppose that when you start iMovie 9 it will automatically import only the photos/videos from the new library.

When I compress my movie to quicktime, the audio doesn't sync properly, even though it looks fine in iMovie. How do I fix this?

Audio on the timeline, especially stream, tends to play very reliably. Is this project under any NDA or can you provide a FLA to examine? Let me know if you want to private message it and I'll shoot you a message.
What version of Flash Player are you targeting and is this AS2 or AS3?

Export to the camera roll, then import them to your comuter as you would any photos or video from your device:

Advice Needed - Sports Highlight Video - How to Combine Projects?

I am trying to create a Soccer Highlight Video of my daughter. The purpose is to be able to showcase her skills in a video and hopefully generate interest from collegiate coaches. I have recorded video of multiple games which are each about 80 minutes long. I am guessing I average about roughly 2 minutes of submittable footage from each game. Once the final video is complete, it will be posted on you tube and the link will be sent out to the appropriate college coaches.
I am currently working with each game separately as an individual project. Once I have all the games editted, I would like to combine all of these individual game projects into one big project. Once combined, I will then want to cut out a good portion of the game clips and just keep the really good stuff for the final product.
My biggest question is in regard to bringing each small project together for the final project. Can I "publish" each project and then import the "published" product into Permier Elements 11? Is there an easy method?
Any advice on how to easily do this would be very much appreciated.
(I am using Premier Elements 11 (trial version) and AVCHD video files taken with a standard video camera. If I can get this figured out I will definitly be purchasing the software.)

The smartest way to work would be to set the Work Area Bar in each project so that you only output the segments of your videos you're going to use in your compilation. This will save you a lot of editing later as well as save you having to work with big, whopping files that you're only using short segments from.
The best way to do this depends on how you're going to publish your finished video. Is it going onto a DVD? BluRay? YouTube or other online site? Video for a portable device, like an iPad?
Each has its own best workflow.

In iMovie 11, how can you cut/paste a clip that has subtitles and actually have the subtitles get cut/pasted. When I try, the subtitles disappear into the void and I have to do the subtitling all over again.

Unfortunately, as recommended by the lady from CA, as long as the Mac is still associated with the Apple ID of the original owner, you can't even buy those iLife apps with that Mac. You will always get the alert to download them with the original owner's Apple ID.
As suggested by the chavo from España, you need the original owner to contact Apple Care* and request that the OS and the iLife apps be disassociated from his Apple ID. Then you should be free to OS X Recovery to resinstall the most recent version of OS X that shipped with the Mac and install the iLife apps. Afterward, before using any of the iLife apps you need to open the Mac App Store (MAS) to the Purchases pane and Accept these apps into your MAS account's Apple ID. If you use any of the iLife apps before you have accepted them into your account, as per the app's Terms of Use, they all become one-trick-ponies that can not be downloaded onto another Mac or updated.
OS X Recovery -

*If you bought the Mac from a 2nd hand shop and don't have access to the original owner, you may need to provide Apple a purchase receipt to offer proof of sale.

When I open iMovie, the app searches for missing iPhoto files. These are files I deleted. I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie. How do I make this stop?

When I open iMovie (09), the app searches for missing iPhoto files. These are files I deleted. I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie. How do I make this stop?

So it seems the issue is when iMovie is wanting to creat thumbnails, if I ask it to ignore then it's fine but if not it hangs up searching for the video file.

Adobe Captivate 7 Project How to make Rollover cations, audio, and video work in HTML format?

Honestly, I don't even know why this is an option. The conversion to Flash is completely unusable.
I have exported some things to Flash, and since I program in Flash all the time I was able to manipulate to work to some degree. Most text captions are built with multiple elements and completely fall apart.
Sorry, I can't be of more help.

i don't think you have to rename the jar and create a dar. Once you have build successful you should get the dar file.

ONCE i made a photo project how do I access the original photos?

once we make a photo project how do I access the original photos?

Do you mean to upload or use in another app or some such?
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

I have been using OS X Lion until last night. Now using OS X Yosemite. But I am not allowed to update my iPhoto or iMovie. How can I fix this?

I have been using OS X Lion for years. Last night I updated to OS X Yosemite. Now I cannot update either my iPhoto nor iMovie. How do I fix this? Telling me to go to the Support at App Store is not helpful as they are oriented to my MacBook Pro and not toward the theft of my iPhoto or iMovie. Is there any way around the App Store mismanagement of AppleID for these applications?

What happens when you try to download the new iPhoto and iMovie? Do you get any message and if so what is it? What do you mean by "theft of my iPhoto or iMovie"? Who do you think stole them?
One trick to try is to move the iPhoto and iMovie apps to the Trash in the Dock but don't empty as yet. Then go to the App Store and try to download the apps again.

Sub-project rollup to Master project-How to achieve this??

Dear Dina,
In capital project: There is 1 master project, under master project there are 10 sub-projects ,how to rollup the sub-projects information into master project [client wants to see the all sub-project information at master project level only as well as sub-project level also]
Each Sup-Project has a Project ID and Project Name,If we consider each sub project as one task but as per the client requirement each sub-project has a separate Project ID, and as well as Master project also has Project ID (in this scenario how to roll-up the sub-project information into master project).
Here client wants to see all sub-project information at master project level with the code of Project ID and as well as individual at sub-project level with the code of Sub-project Project ID”,each project has [Sub-project and master project] Project ID, Project name, and Project Number
could u help me on rolling up concept on the sub-project informations into master project level....
thanks a lot n advance.....

Hi
The ability to see the rollup information is part of Project Management.
When you setup the master project, go to Option and open the Structures page. Flag the check box named "Enable the project as a Program".
Now go to Tasks pages, and open a lowest level task. Open the Options page for the task, and you will see there "sub Project Association. Select that option and on the opened page you can list the subproject. Note you can link all sub-projects to the same task, or to different tasks of the master project.
Go to Project Reporting Tab of Project Management. There you should select the report as a project if you want to see data on each project, master and sub-projects, individually. Select the report as 'Program' to see the rollup up data for he master project and all its sub-projects.
