Movie made in imovie wont open in idvd?!

so i made a little intro movie for a slideshow with the edit interface in imovie where i just added some text to a black background. i saved it and when i try and add it to idvd it wont open. im not really sure what is going on. the file is a .timovieproject so i know that it should open in idvd to "add" a movie. is there some way where i can just save it as a quicktime? thanks!

tell us how you made this black footage. was it entirely in iMovie 6? Try adding some actual video footage to the start and see if this helps, then select the black clip only ....
and share the selected clip only to iDvd. Like this:

Let me know if this helps.

Is there a way to transfer od movies made on Imovie 2 to Imovie HD?

is there a way to transfer od movies made on Imovie 2 to Imovie HD?

The QuickTime movie Silly Rabbit mentioned is an easy way to import an old project to iMovie 6, but unfortunately that feature wasn't added until iMovie 3. There's no such movie in iMovie 2 to import.
If you have iMovie 2 on this computer, a very reliable way to bring the project into iMovie 6 is to export it from iMovie 2 to your video camera, then import from the camera to a new iMovie 6 project. The clips will arrive as clips, but they won't be editable as before. You won't be able to edit titles, for example.
The easiest way — when it works — is to simply open (a copy of) the iMovie 2 project in iMovie 6. iMovie 6 will offer to convert it. It usually converts without a hitch, unless your iMovie 2 project has non-standard iMovie 2 features like third-party titles, transitions and special effects. iMovie 6 may have trouble with those. You can't go back, so convert a COPY, not the original.
I'd try the conversion first. If it works, you're home free. Keep the iMovie 2 project around until you're sure.
Suggestion: please provide a bit more information in your user profile. "IMAC" doesn't tell us much, there are so many different models.

What app should I get to burn home movies made in iMovie

I was surprised to find my new mac book pro doesn't include the ability to burn a dvd from iMovie. What app should I get to burn home movies made in iMovie.

I have Burn, it is a poor substitute for iDVD.
There is NO alternative.   But iDVD is very easy to get.
iDVD is a “Must Have".   (Yes, it should be included.)
Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.
800-692-7753
800-275-2273
If you are still within your 15 day return period, nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.
Most people report that by asking here:   http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
or here:   http://www.apple.com/contact/
they got a free copy of iDVD.
If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk (don't get the download) for about $39.

.mov movie made with iMovie imported in iTunes

I made (with iMovie) a movie and imported in iTunes where it works perfectly. But when I go to advanced to use "convert selection for ipod" I can't. I have only the line convert to mp3.....
Any help? Maybe iTunes doesn't convert .mov files for iPod use?
THANKS

probably yes, but I'm not able to open the .mov file in imovies. I made it when I had imovies 04 than after upgrading to imovies 06, all the files look like quicktime files and I can't open it in imovies 06.... So, now I have only the .mov file. It works in quicktime and iTunes but not anymore in iMovie. Any idea?
Thanks in advance!

Imovie wont open after mavricks update

I movie wont open after updating to mavricks. help?

Many people have been having the same problems this week because of he update. Someone on the forum mentioned uninstalling "Bonjour". +Bonjour locates devices such as printers, other computers, and the services that those devices offer on a local network - Wikipedia.+ If you have never needed it uninstall it. You could also try typing "MSCONFIG" in the Run selection under the accessories folder and un-checking it under the "Services" tab.
I personally have had the same problems. What i did was i un-checked it on the MSCONFIG menu first and then uninstalled Bonjour.
Hope all this helps

IMovie wont open a saved library

I saved my iMovie project onto USB from iMovie version 10.0.4
I took it to University to work on it, but the iMovie available is 10.0.1
It won't let me open the project I'm working on because apparently it's an 'older' version.
I don't understand why this is, after all it's not like either of the versions are 9 or older; they are both version 10s.
Because it's a University computer, it won't let me update the iMovie to the latest version (in fact the update isn't even showing up)
What can I do to be able to edit my movie on the University Mac? I really need to.

Ok, maybe a little more information would help.
How did you make the movie?
what won't open the movie?
Will it open in the photos app?
What theme are you talking about?
Can you please explain what you are doing, and what is not working.

Pages made on lion wont open on 10.6.8

pages made on my macbook pro with OS Lion wont open on my powermac with 10.6.8

Yeah use any of these transforming spells:
http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Transforming_spells
I think you mean save back the newer document to an older version file:
Menu > File > Save As > check Save copy as: Pages 08 (bottom of window)
Failing that, go to the Mac App Store and buy the new version, it isn't expensive and can be installed on all your Macs sharing the same Apple ID.

Quicktime Movies made in iMovie won't go by email

Recently the Quicktime Files I have made from iMovie will play on my computer but
when I e-mail them to MACs and PCs and burn them to CDs they will not play
A warning appears that files & clips can not be found. I have iMovie 4.0.1
and Quicktime 7.3.1
I have tried everything I can think of but can not fix the problem.
Help,help,help....I have successfully made movies and e-mailed them
but I have not used this software in a long time.
Any suggestions will be most appreciated.
You can e-mail me direct at [email protected]

The default export dialog window in older versions of iMovie had the check box set for "reference" movie. You need to change it to "self contained".
Reference movies merely "point" to the actual data found in your iMovie Project. Fine when working from your computer (they are very tiny in file size) but useless anywhere else.

QT for Win can't open .mov made with iMovie

Hello
Is it possible?
Joking around I created a clip with the built in iSight camera in iMovie, clicked share, email and of my two windows recipients one could hear not see, the other, nothing.
Tried saving the clip as quicktime movie seperately sent it via mail and still nothing. The one recipient said she had checked for the latest Quicktime and was current (free version) the other, my brother, wouldn't be bothered checking. I saved one of the clips to a dvd not using iDVD and a QT icon was there but only the sound would come through the DVD player.
Is it even possible? I'm wondering whether to give up on interacting with windows friends with the iMac, I love the iMac (my first) but I do have a windows machine I can go back to (hoping NOT to go back but......).
I know from experience chatting with them (Windows users) is near impossible so wondering if I should give up on this part of sharing as well.

Paul,
Try MpegStreamclip (versions available for Mac and PC).
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html
1.) You can convert your xx.mov to xx.mpg1, that should be playable on both platforms (Mac/PC).
OR
Since MPEG Streamclip can save MOV files as AVI, you can import the AVI (Large file size) into "Windows Movie Maker" and export as WMV (small file size, Microsoft's version of mp4) for your PC family and friends to view.
Note: I believe you mentioned you had a PC, "Windows Movie Maker" is a free video editing program that's included with Windows ME & XP installations.

Move made with iMove can't be imported in another iMove-Film

Hi,
I tried to import a movie (that I made completely with iMovie) in another movie in iMove. But importing I got that error message:
The Clip /../../.dv can’t be imported; QuickTime couldn’t parse it: -43
What does that mean?
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

then what should I do now? Import the "Timeline
Movie.mov" myself?
Yes, that's one option. That will deliver all the Timeline video and audio to the new project as a single clip.
Another option, depending on what it contains, is to import the files in the Media folder to a new project.
Both imports can be accomplished by simply dragging the desired file to the Timeline of a new project.
If all you want is a copy of the original project, it may be best to use the Finder to create a duplicate project, or use iMovie's Save As commend. Then all your clips are retained as the clips they currently are. Open the new project and discard those clips you don't want.
Or you can simply Copy the clips from the Timeline of Project A and Paste them into Project B.

Movie made in iMovie HD 6 can't burn DVD as is

I have edited and titled and added stills with Ken Burns effect and the movie previews exactly as I want my DVD to play. I exported to iDVD and it asks me to start all over with chapters and titles and all that. I just want to burn my DVD from exactly what I put together on iMovie HD 6. Please help

How to create a DVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
3. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
4. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
