Can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie

Hi, i can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie, it only lets me import one video at a time. Apple please fix in next update or if anyone has a solution please post.

Obviously you can not select the video to import until after iMovie populates the list of videos that are available to be imported

Hi, is there any option how I can edit duration of multiple video clips (not stills) in iMovie 11, lets say if I want them 2 seconds long? Many thanks for any advice... Tom

How can i export video clips in iPhoto into iMovie?

how can i export video clips in iphoto into imovie?

Hello andrewmarkp,
As long as the videos are in a format that can be used by iMovie, they will appear in your Event Browser, under 'iPhoto Videos.'
iMovie '11: Use video from your iPhoto library
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2196
If you’ve imported video from your digital camera into iPhoto, it appears automatically in your iMovie Event Library (as long as the video is in a compatible format).
To use iPhoto video in iMovie:
Click iPhoto Videos in the Event Library.
The videos appear in the Event browser on the right. You can select and use the video just as you would any other footage.
To learn about importing video into iPhoto, open iPhoto and choose Help > iPhoto Help.
Cheers,
Allen

I am having trouble dragging a video clip from iPhoto to iMovie.

I am having trouble dragging a dropping a video clip from IPhoto to IMovie. Has anyone done this? Is this even possible?

I had this problem too, and I don't think it is possible; I'm pretty sure the only videos you can put on iMovie are ones you record with the built in camera on the computer, or a video camera.

Quicktime video clips look red

When I import Quicktime video clips into iMovie (for Mac - latest version) they come in looking bright red. Why is this? Can anyone help me. -Thanks

Not sure what you are asking?
To make as still frame from video?
Or to strobe the video (play at less fps)?
Both I believe can't be done in iMovie iOS

Video clips are missing from iMovie...Yosemite?

I recently downloaded Yosemite. I had a number of video clips (from Cannon Camera) in iMovie; they are no longer showing up. These clips were of my deceased mom. I've tried finding them in Time Capsule - NOT there. Can someone PLEASE HELP ME.
Thank you
Mike

I actually found a number of my videos in iPhoto and have created a new folder on desktop. I have moved the clips there and backup things up using Time Capsule. I know that many people may think that Time Capsule is antiquated and they're using iCloud. For those of us that don't use iCloud for photos, etc. I think you need to have a folder of items on your desktop in order to be saved in Time Capsule. Just thought I's share my experience and prevent others from troubles.
I just don't understand why items (that previously existed in iMovie) are no longer appearing due to Yosemite upgrade.

Need sample video clips for practice using iMovie 08

Can't find example video clips to download Anywhere. Thought would be easy since it's obvious new iMovie users would want. Any help directly appreciated.

With iMovie 08 opened, select the "Video Tutorials" Help menu option. This will open the iMovie '08 Tutorial web page. Select a video to watch. If you must download a tutorial and have QT Pro, simply "Control-Click" the display area to open the context menu while the tutorial you want is playing. Select the "Save as Source" option, navigate to the folder where you wish to save the file, and press the "Save" button.

How do i import video clips from iphoto to iMovie

how do i import video clips from iPhoto to iMovie

I've found dragging & dropping onto desktop & then drag & drop into iMovie works okay

I cannot import video clips when working with iMovie

I have a 13" Macbook Pro running Mavericks versión 10.9.4 but lately I do not know what happened since everytime I try to import video clips into my movie or trailer I am unable to get it. Those thumbnail are grey out, I can't drag them out into my project. Why ?

In Lion, one can select a video clip, go to finder services, and click on encode video...it will transcode the .mpg to something iMovie can handle. Far as I can tell, .mpg is not something iMovie likes to play with.

Have accidentally deleted video clips and now an iMovie project won't play (did initially after deletion but no longer). Is there any way to rectify this? I have a very upset daughter as the video was her holiday memories....

I have deleted the video clips used to make an iMovie project as I thought the bits usedt were saved as part of the iMovie project. Initially the project still played post deletion. However it is no longer working as it says it can't find the video clips. Is this rescuable?
I have a very upset daughter as project took her 2 days and was her holiday memories....
Any help gratefully received

There's no harm in looking inside the Trash folder.
When a file or folder is deleted, it is moved into the Trash folder to give you a chance to recover it if it was deleted by mistake. Of course that means Trash folder could grow large as time goes and more files are deleted.
You can recover your movies if they are still in the trash.
You should also empty the trash if you think you don't need the files in it to free up disk space.

Bringing random video clips from online into imovie...

I want to find old 1920's footage of trains and people on trains and put the clips together for a 3 minute music video to go with a song a friend and I wrote. Is it possible to find clips online and bring them into imovie in order to do this? I am very new to imovie so the more info I can get the better.
Thanks in advance!

There is a site here. By sure to read the licensing and attribution requirements.
If you can get a quicktime file that meets your need, you can import into iMovie using the FILE/IMPORT.../MOVIES command.

How can I download a video clip from YouTube into iMovie 9

I found one thread dating suggesting that I download some free software MPEG Streamclip from http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html. I did that and selected the (beta) version that is necessary for downloading from YouTube. I installed the software including an add-on that I had to purchase from Apple, Quicktime MPEG2.dmg. When I try to run the software I get the following error message: File open error: can't open the file.
Help!

Well on a Mac you can install
Flash
Silverlight
Perian
VLC
Flip4Mac
DivX
and many other codecs/tools to watch anything.
Guess the iOS isn't really all that it's cracked up to be, ignoring the wider world out there.
Your only choice to complain to Apple about closed devices they make, but of course they know this already and using the iPad as a cheap "netbook" halo effect device so you get to upgrade to a Mac, just like they do with iPhones and iPods.
In the meanwhile they are slowly closing the door on OS X, a little at a time so it's not noticeable.
Pretty soon the excuse will be "sorry I can't play your video you sent me mom, I've got a Mac"

TS3719 No video clips appear in the iMovie browser. iPad mini software is updated to iOS 7.0.2, iMovie version is 1.4.2

I restarted both iPad and iPhone5. Uninstalled/reinstalled the app.

a quick update, I turned off all security software on my windows desktop and tried this 'Restore' process via iTunes again and it appears to be processing....what an unbelievable PITA

Why won't my video won't import into iMovie. There is a red ERROR message underneath clip.

I just imported 40 out of 43 clips of HD video from my JVC HD Everio camera into iMovie '11. It's my first time using either equipment for editing. I selected import all but only 40 of the clips successfully imported. 3 of the clips were not able to be imported but I can still play the clips fine from the import window. The clips all have red error messages underneath them. This is an issue that I've seen posted other places online but it doesn't seem to be resolved. It's very frustrating for me, I've been researching online to try to fix this for hours now. The closest I have come to a solution involved deleting extra 3rd party plugins from my quicktime folder however I don't have a folder named "Quicktime" in my Library. So I don't know what to do. Please help!

The error message appears under video clips already imported into iMovie. Like in this screenshot http://km.support.apple.com/resources/sites/APPLE/content/live/VIDEOS/0/VI57/en_ US/imovie-start-poster.jpg on my mac out of the 6 clips shown per row, only 5 of them have the word "imported" underneath them in white letters and then one of the clips has the word "error" underneath it.
I don't think it's a corrupted file because yeah I can play the three clips just fine. The page that I read that had that fix in it (deleted plugins) was here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1893021?start=0&tstart=0 The correct answer is near the bottom of the page and was posted by iphonejunky. Maybe the fix would be that simple but like I said, I can't find a folder named quicktime in my library. I don't know if I'm just stupid or what.
I don't think I have Flip4Mac installed because I never consciously installed it. I use VLC for playing most video. The clips imported are all .mov
