Make a voiceover in iMovie HD 6

Hi!
I wonder if there is a bug in iMovie HD 6?
When I try to make a voiceover nothing happens. There is no sound recorded. I have done it thousands of times before in earlier versions of iMovie, but now I just can't do it...
Is there anyone out there who can help me?
/Johanna

I think I've just some other bugs...
I connected my iSight and changed the audio settings in System Preferences.
When I record a voiceover in iMovie the purple line was created, but when I press space bar to play the movie the program freezes (hangs up).
I can press the button for showing the movie in full screen but there is no sound. And the first time I try to show the movie in full screen the screen is white. It works if I press esc and the full screen button again (The movie is shown in full size but there is still no sound).
I don't know what to do...

What is the best way to make a DVD from iMovie

What is the best way to make a DVD from iMovie?
I am using iMovie 06 (Naturally) with iDVD 08. I have always used;
iMovie 06, File > Share to iDVD 08. And got pretty good results.
Some say the best way is to quit iMovie 06, open iDVD and import the movie from the Media button.
I have tried both methods in the results look the same. I'm interested in getting the very best quality possible.

You likely have one of the most expensive media converter boxes on the market today.
But does it work well with most macs? (my guess is that it does). But more specifically can it "handshake" with an intel based mac? I personally haven't tried it.
But you may want to read this for yourself if you haven't already:

Assuming it works then the best format is .dv which this unit will support apparently.

I'm trying to make a slideshow in iMovie, but when I upload photos from my Aperture Library into the iMovie Photo Browser some photos (305 out of 427) are missing. How do I get iMovie to upload all of them?

I'm trying to make a slideshow in iMovie, but when I upload photos from my Aperture Library into the iMovie Photo Browser, some photos (305 out of 427) are missing. How do I get iMovie to upload all of them?

I have same problem. I could only see a fraction of my project photos if I browse the Aperture lbrary. It is the same problem when I sync the aperture photos to my iPhone or iPad. I still cannot solve it but I know a way to go around it for your iMovie to see the pictures so that you can work on your iMovie.
Here is the work around:
Export the photos from your album to your hard disk and re-import into your iPhoto. Now you should be able to see those photos that you want to work on in iMovie when you browse your iPhot library.

How do I make Smart Quotes in iMovie 11

You use the keyboard modifiers thusly:

Close Double-quote: Option + Shift + Left Bracket ( [ )
Check out the smart quotes, in the third line in the screenshot.

So I bought a video on iTunes, how do I make it compatible with iMovie so I can edit it and make my own video? If I can't do this, then how do those people on YouTube make videos with clips from TV shows and Movies?

How do i edit voiceover in imovie

I am attempting to edit some voiceover audio that I have for a project that I'm working on. I need to edit because the voiceover is too long and i need several parts of the voiceover. Is this something that I'll be able to do?

Hi Jeni,
I am not familiar with Windows Movie Maker, so I lack any frame of reference (no pun inteneded) to judge what you may be doing wrong. Both iMovie and Premiere Elements (PE) are designed so that the normal work flow is trim the clip the way you want, then put the clip in the timeline of your movie. In either you can work other ways, but the layout and tools in these programs are pretty much geared for that type of workflow. I use both by the way, although I am fairly new to Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and have not used iMovie all that much. In PE for example, you can double click the clip you want to use and that opens the clip viewer. You slide the pointers at the beginning and end of the clip viewer time line to set what are called "in and out points" and drag the clip into your time line or onto the scene line depending on which PE editing mode you are using. When you eventually export the movie using the Share panel, the program exports the entire timeline, which should be the series of trimmed clips, unless you check the box to tell it to only export the marked part of the timeline (I forget the title on the check box and don't have the program running in front of me). But in either case, each clip in your movie or portion of a movie should be trimmed according to the in and out points you previously set.
iMovie works on a similar concept, except you drag your mouse pointer over a clip in an event to adjust the yellow rectangle to mark the part of the clip you want to use, then drag that clip into you project. In either program there are ways of trimming and cropping clips in the timeline/sceneline/project and automatically adjusting the rest to compensate, but in any case, I'm not sure why you would be losing the edits.

Why do I lose sound when I try to make a dvd from imovie to idvd. The sound is all there in iMovie, but when I make my dvd, I have sound for about 3-4 minutes and then its gone.

I have made a 1 hour 30 minute dvd in IMOVIE. The video and the sound are perfect. However, when I make it into a dvd on IDVD, I lose sound after 3 or 4 minutes. Any Suggestions?

Hey MichiganMan32,
I found an article that looks like it applies to that audio issue you're experiencing. Check out the following troubleshooting steps here:
Resolution
Make sure the audio track has not been muted in the timeline.
Switch to timeline view by clicking the clock button in the iMovie window.
There are three checkboxes on the right side of the iMovie window underneath the sound icon. These checkboxes correspond to the video track and two additional audio tracks. Make sure all three tracks are selected. Any deselected tracks are muted.
If you are using iMovie 3 or later, check the "Edit Volume" option to see if it is selected. If so, make sure the volume of the affected video clips is not set to its lowest level, or try deselecting the option to Edit Volume.
See if the volume in iMovie is set to its lowest setting. Directly under the Preview pane in iMovie is a volume slider. Set this slider to maximum volume.
Make sure the computer's audio is not muted.
Quit and reopen iMovie, then check the clip to see if it now plays with audio.
Check to see if any of the video clips you have imported are in the MPEG-1 format. MPEG-1 clips will lose audiowhen you export them as part of your iMovie project.
Quit and reopen iMovie, then reimport the footage from the camera. Play the newly imported footage and see if you now have audio.
If you are using an analog to DV converter instead of a camera, make sure the audio connections are good between your VCR or other analog device and the converter. Check the documentation that came with your converter for more information.
Check /Library/QuickTime/ and ~/Library/QuickTime/ for any third-party plugins. Remove them if present, log out, and log back in. Check to see if the issue persists. If not, check with the manufacturer of the disabled plugin to see if an update is available. Note: The tilde (~) represents your Home directory.
Note: "Apple Intermediate Codec" and "QuickTimeMPEG2" are Apple components. For more information about a particular plugin, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info. Look at the version string of the Get Info window to see if the plugin developer name is listed.
iMovie is missing audio on import, export, or playback

Project window darkens when trying to add voiceover in iMovie '09

I am trying to add a voiceover to a short video in iMovie '09, but every time I open the Voiceover window, the project window darkens so I cannot click on the clip where I want the voiceover to begin. I have looked at all the tutorials but can't figure out what I am doing incorrectly.
Thanks!

This is what happens when I try to add a voiceover:

How to make titles lowercase in iMovie?

Hi guys,
I have inserted a title in iMovie but I don't know how to make it lowercase. All the letters are all CAPS! How can I change this?
Thanks!

Not all titles can be edited. If you click on the title and then on the "T" above the viewer Font controls appear underneath. Non-changebale properties appear greyed out and you may find that all you type comes out as capitals. You have probably chosen a title which can't be changed in which case the solution is to try another one which can be modified the way you want.

How to make a menu in IMovie

I want to make a dvd menu in iMovie because i don't have IDVD and can't find anywhere to download it?

I want to make a dvd menu in iMovie because i don't have IDVD and can't find anywhere to download it?
For making DVDs I would recommend iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 both readily available on Amazon or eBay. Shop for iLife 06 and iLife 09.
You can make menus and chapters with any version of iMovie except the latest one. There's nothing wrong with iMovie 11 either but I prefer iMovie 06.
By using iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 I make DVDs with professional moving menus with very little effort. They look almost as good as Hollywood.

How do I make my keynote or iMovie slide show (with music) into a DVD, without iDVD as I don't have it and you can no longer purchase from Apple.

I am new to Apple, since Oct '11. ( iDVD did not come with this laptop). I am making a slide show in keynote and can't download to iDVD to make it into a DVD that I can play on any home player. As far as I know, I need to make it into a quicktime file, then find some 3rd party software to convert to DVD. Has anyone had any luck with this. I think I may just purchase an old copy of iLife from Amazon...

How to make dvd on new iMovie

I just realized that the new iLife does not include iDVD. Does anyone have any advice on how to make a DVD of a slideshow trailer I made in iMovie. I guess Apple decided that making DVDs is obsolete. Unfortunately my 90 yo Grandma does not think so and she would love to see the Birthday slideshow we made for her on a DVD player or laptop.
Alternatively, how do I move the iDVD software from my old iMac (OSX 10.5.8) to my new iMac (with Lion)? I just tried burning the application onto a DVD (drag the iDVD icon to a disc) and transferring it that way but somehow it didn't bring over the themes and I was not able to use it on my new iMac.

Do you still have the install disk with iDVD7 on it? That would be the only way to install it on your new iMac.
Otherwise you will have to purchase iLife 11 - soon before they stop selling it!
