Making a video from jpegs in IMovie 9

Hi,
An animator made me a video for a song I created. He gave individual Jpegs for every frame.
I brought the JPegs into IMovie and but when I play the video it is jumping. Is there a way to select
each still to be 1 frame and how do I smooth out the frames.
thanks,
Marc

Marc,
A better solution might be to open the jpegs as an image sequence in QuickTime Pro and then Export it from there.
I don't think you'll be able to get each image to be short enough in iMovie for smooth playback.
The downside is that QuickTime Pro is $30.

Another solution might be to ask your animator if he or she can give you a version of the sequence as a .mov file.

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this?

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.

The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.

Is there a way to put a video from facebook into imovie?

Is there a way to put a video from facebook into imovie? The facebook video is on my friends wall. Draging it does not seem to work.

You won't be able to drag and drop it, I think the workaround would be to try and 're-record' it using QuickTime. There's a screen recording ability that will record your hold desktop. My suggestion is to launch QuickTime. Under File Menu > Screen Recording. Get that all setup and ready to hit the red record button. Open Facebook. Playback full screen if possible, then pause it. Start the screen recording, then play the Facebook video. By default, the video will be saved into your Home folder>Movies folder. Open iMovie, go to File Menu > Import > Movies... and then navigate your way to your Movies folder and import that clip into an iMovie Event.

Video from iPhone to iMovie on Mac and quality issues

Task: Wanting to take video from my iPhone 5 into iMovie HD Version 6.0.3 to do some editing, trimming, transitions, etc. I have done this on many occasions but have NEVER been able to share/export the finished product with any kind of quality result. I want to upload to youtube and it never looks very good. Looks "ok" if just viewed as is, but if you click on full-screen it does not look good.
I have never liked any of the other newer versions of iMovie - old dog new tricks problem. I have versions 9.0,9 and 10.0.3 and maybe I need to use one of those to solve the problem. If so would someone please tell me should I export as .mov or .mp4 and what exact settings to use.
If I can get good quality using iMovie 6.0.3 then would someone please tell me should I export as .mov or .mp4 and what exact settings to use.
It seems like this should be such a simple process but for the life of me I can't figure out how to make it so. I see many other videos that I know have been taken on people's phones and edited and they look great - even when shown in full screen.
All help is appreciated!

Is it possible to export a video from GarageBand to iMovie, Soundtrack or FinalCut?

Wondering if it's possible when you make a video/movie and you've saved it in GarageBand, to export the video to iMovie, Soundtrack of FinalCut?
thanks,
Lorna

First of all, you don't save a video in GarageBand.
You can import a vidoe file into a GarageBand Project
You can add music, sf, or anything else to that video
At the end you use the "Export Audio to Movie" command.
THe result is a quicktime movie file (you can choose the format in a dialog window). That video file can be imported into any video editing software, including iMovie. There is no need to export it to iTunes.
If you have the video already in iMovie. then you cold export only the audio in GarageBand and import that audio file back into iMovie. Just make sure that they stay in sync.
Hope that helps

I'd like to know how to get videos from Camera to imovie

I'm a new Mac user who has a video movies that I want to import into imovie project.
I've also purchased a fire wire, to facilitate the process. So far not successful. Help
Thanks in advance.

What format are your movies? iMovie can import directly from your camera or camcorder, import from your iPhoto or Aperture Library or can import video files from the Finder, see:
iMovie '11: Import video
What you cannot import are purchased videos protected by digital right management or video DVDs.

Trying to import video from internet to imovie HELP!!!!!!

ASAP.
i need a video from youtube to go on my imovie can anybody tell me how to put it on there?

Welcome to the forum.
What is the format of those Webcam files?
Also, along with the format, it would be useful to know the CODEC used by the capture software. The great, free utility, G-Spot, should be able to give you that info. Here's look at the G-Spot screen, w/ an AV file loaded:
Good luck,

How to transfer videos from iPhoto to iMovie '11

I can't seem to understand how to put my videos from iphoto over to imovie.

Hi,
Can you say what you have tried?
I do it this way:
- after importing the videos into iphoto, close iphoto
- close imovie if you have it open
- reopen imovie
you should see a dialog box saying imovie is generating thumbnails. Allow it to do so.
I don't know why closing the applications, then restarting imovie works, but it may help you.

Unfortunately the answer to your question is ... No. you cant make the built in music App work the same way that is does on the iPhone. I have no clue why Apple decided to do it this way but they did.
I don't use any of them, but there are other Music apps available for the iPad. You may want to look into one of those. Here are a few of them. You can search for more.

Mpg videos from pc to iMovie 11

Help! I am a new apple user and am trying to import my mpg videos from my pc to my imac with imovie 11. I have tried several processes. What is the best way to import them to imovie so I can edit and burn DVDs. These are all home videos that I want to create DVDs for.
The best result I have had so far is to convert them to mpeg4 in the pc using arcsoft converter. Then use external hard drive to import them to imac. They show in iphoto and play fine. However they are all dated with the date of import instead of the date taken, which will cause a nightmare. I also can not get them loaded into imovie.
I have also tried to import them into the mac as mpg format and use mpeg streamclip to convert them, but when I try to export as DV it give me any error that I need a $20 program. I have read this program should be in os x 10.8.5 but is it? I don't have a problem with purchasing the player if I know it is the solution I need.
Please help as I am ready to go back to pc... The photo and movie editing is the reason I am trying to become a Mac user. Thank you for any help you can give.

In order to use MPEG Streamclip, you do need to install the MPEG2 Playback Component - see these instructions from their website:
I had to follow those instructions as well; I had already purchased the Playback Component several years ago so I was able to use that. You can purchase it here:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
As for using iMovie and burning DVDs, you might want to consider using the older version of iMovie (if you still have it as the new version install leaves the older one in place) as the new version is very cloud-centric and meant to be "shared" via Twitter, Facebook, etc, etc. and only has one option to save to file with very few options to control the quality.

How do I move videos from iphoto to imovie

I've got a new macbook pro 17", Pegasus 12TB, and all manner of photos and videos. Ive recently upgraded from a G5. Hence, I took a variety of USB drives and found all sorts of photos and videos, FCE stuff, and basically did my best to consolidate them into either Aperture 3.x (kept up to date) and iMovie (latest updates). I keep all my software updated as soon as any update is released.
I am finally learning a bit about how to use a laptop with tons of information (pic/vids mostly). It wasn't as easy as I thought. Needless to say, the laptop is the cruncher of information and the pegasus is a screamer with speed. I am moving all my files (aperture libarary, iphoto library, and FCE stuff) to the pegasus seeing as the cute little internal HD doesn't hold much.
I've been able to find out how to move iMovie files from my internal drive and various other asundry of external FW800 drive into the pegasus 12TB to consolidate them in one place. All seems well after a few months of figuring this out, getting a quasi-workflow going.
Now I'm stuck a bit. I have Aperture and iPhoto showing up in my event library as having vidoes. I used to use iPhoto to manage videos that were simple point and shoot camera style vids. I now want to take the many files and do the same as I've done with all other video: move the video files under iMovie control on the Pegasus.
Problem: I can't seem to make this work except in one fashion: drag each and every individual clip over to an event in iMovie under Pegasus drive. Talk about time consuming! Not only that, it doesn't move it, it copies it. Then I have to go back and delete it in iphoto.
I've tried making a smart folder in iPhoto to find videos and then hopefully export them to the desktop. Then I could import into iMovie on the pegasus. No go. Can't find the videos. They are somehow scattered about inside of iPhoto in such a manner that I can't seem to find them unless I open each project and manuall search them out. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here, has to be an easier way.
I tried highlighting all the videos on iphoto that show up in the imovie events library and just doing a mass drag/drop. Not go. Just doesn't do it. Ignores me.
I'm out of ideas.
How does one get video scattered around inside of iPhoto (and to a lesser extent, aperture) so that I can consolidate them under iMovies control on the pegasus?
Thanks
Robert

iMovie can access those movies that are inside iPhoto. Just look in the Event pane of iMovie and click on the iPhoto icon:
All of the movies in iPhoto will be displayed at the right where you can access them for whatever project you'd like.
Otherwilse you'd have to export all of them out of iPhoto using the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option and use the Format = Original option. Them move them into a folder in the Movies fodler and let iMovie find them there. Then you'd have to do that each time you import a movie into iPhoto or manually upload the photos and movies ot a folder on your Desktop and then import the photos only into iPhoto and move the movie files into the Movie folder.
