Need Help-Exporting iMovie project to FCE

I'm new to iMovie. I have worked with FCE in the past, but it has changed drastically from the last time I used it. The problem I have is that all of my video is uploaded into iMovie and I was playing around with FCE and iMovie and I like the way iMovie crops the videos. I was wondering if by cropping in iMovie will it export like that to FCE? If not, what is the best way to crop video to get the same dimensions in FCE?

Hello www,
Initially when I went to the "share" option in imovie to export to iDVD the function simply opened up the iDVD program and kept playing the opening iDVD theme over and over again.
iDVD will keep playing that theme until you either click the motion button, or decide to burn to disc.
Does your iMovie project show up as a button/title in iDVD? If so, you have exported correctly. Now you may change the menu, titles, etc., then you can
burn to disc (best way to do this is create a disk image, then burn with Disk Utility)
hope this helps

Unable to Export iMovie project in everyway I have attempted for the past 2 weeks. Please Help! Due date coming up!

I've unable to Export iMovie project in everyway I have attempted for the past 2 weeks.I have a late 2012 iMac with 8gb of RAM and 700 gb of free space on the hard drive. The video I am trying to export is 48 mins long with most of the source footage from a NIkon D3100 and several other cammcorders. I've been exporting with Apple Intermediate codec because that was the only one that has work so far but it only worked once and since then I have had to make changes to the project and now I'm unable to get it to work. For all Quicktime exports in H.264 or AIC (my prefered format for this export since I figured it'd offer the highest quality when I import it into Encore for making a dvd out of it) Which just stops exporting in the last few minutes without explination as to why or it crashes and quits. It either leaves a partial file or nothing at all. When I do "export movie" I get a "not enough memory Heap zone error"
I don't know what to do any help would be greatly appreciated!
By the way I happen to have Adobe CS6 Production Premium but didn't know how to use it as well when starting the project and now really regret not using it because it appears to be 10x more stable and capable of handling all the tasks I want it to do.

Hi
Error -108 memFullErr Ran out of memory [not enough room in heap zone]
Turn off - TimeMachine usually works - re-try.
(the Application down in the Dock - not the Device)
But this can mean many thing's - My first thought is
Free Space on Start-Up hard disk. How much ? (other disks do not count)

Are your event clips in h.264? If so, you can solve this by Right clicking on your Event Name and choose "Optimize Media". You can choose Full for 1080P or Large for 960P according to your preference.
After you have optimized your Event, you should be able to Share with no problem.

-108 mean you are running out of (free) RAM.
Try restarting the computer just prior to sharing. That frees up RAM.
from mynameisearl
Final Entry
Ok - after much cutting, trial and error and days of work I have never really established a root cause for the -108 error. Nothing I did resolved the issue to the orginal project.
The only work around I have found is to split the Original Project into two.
What I found was that anything around the 60 mins mark and above just failed to render in HD and showed the -108 error.
What worked for me was creating two project files - one around 57mins long - the other a part 2 - around 17 mins long. All using exactly the same source clips, photo's, music and transitions as the orginal.
This now works. I guess having it split in two makes it a little easier to work with as I wont have to keep rendering the first part which does not change but really wish Apple would throw some light on this.
Anyway - I hope all of the above at least proves useful for others.
Good Luck

Mac Mini crashes when exporting imovie projects

Hi.
When I try to export imovie projects, my Mac Mini crashes. Not ever, just every two or three times.
My system is 10.6.7 and imovie is 11. Can anyone help me? Thanks, I apologize for my bad English

Thank you, I'll try!
I hope you're right, because is boring to see out of the blue all the screen getting grey and the window that invites you to reboot, without hope... It happens, for example, after two or three succesful exporting projects, then I reboot and go on for another two or three projects and then again... I'm afraid it's a RAM problem, but I'll try to update system and software.
Thank you again

I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011

Good morning,
I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011. Please....

It is possible to do this without external tools, but it is a tremendous faff. See
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/import-ema il-from-mail-to-outlook-2011/5e858173-e1f4-4adc-99d7-253cc467169d?page=2 for details.
The easiest way, however, is to use Mail Exporter Pro https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mail-exporter-pro/id675131616?mt=12 which will convert the email for you from one format to the other, and comes with an excellent manual.
A third possibility is to connect Apple Mail to an email account via IMAP (this doesn’t have to be your usual account, you can just create a Gmail account for the purpose) . Copy all the messages into it and they will be uploaded. Then connect Outlook 2011 to the same account, via IMAP again, and let the messages download, then copy them to wherever you want to keep them and disconnect from that account. This is slow but preserves the attributes of your email (e.g. read/unead) better than any other method.

Hi,
This'll do what you're after:
$out = @()
$mbxs = Get-Mailbox -Identity '*smith*'
foreach ($mbx in $mbxs) {
$whenCreated = $mbx.WhenCreated
$out += Get-MailboxStatistics -Identity $mbx.SamAccountName |

$out | Sort DisplayName | Export-Csv .\mbxStats.csv -NoTypeInformation

Cannot export iMovie project - Help please

When I try to share the project I've worked on for over a week, I get the following ...
However, that event is in the iMovie library.
The only thing that happened differently this time is that I mistakenly deleted the event files from the event library before I exported the project to save disk space. But once I found out I needed the event clips in iMovie in order to share the project, I found out the clips are still in User > Movies > iMovie Events > British Isles Cruise 2013, so I imported them back into my Event Library in iMovie. So the Event and all the clips are back in iMovie, but I'm still getting the above error, as if iMovie doesn't realize the event is still there, and I cannot share or do anything with my project other than view it in iMovie.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

you haven't renamed any files/folders?
just dragged them out of the Events folder, and back, right?
try this …
quit iMovie
goto Library/Preferences and trash com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
launch iMovie again ....
How do I trash the iMovie Preferences File? and Why?

Need Info on exporting iMovie project to web

Does anyone have any settings suggestions on exporting an iMovie project for optimum web streaming? I have a high def video I'd like to post on a website. I'm looking for fairly good quality, but relatively quick to load. I've tried the "web streaming" quicktime export option in iMovie and am not excited about the quality. I've tried a bunch of "expert" settings, but can't find that happy medium between good resolution and moderate file size.
Any suggestions? I'd like to wind up with a video at about 480 x 270.
Also, I've heard that the H.264 codec is effective, but not a lot of browsers are able to view it. True?
Thanks!

Hello, jtadam,
Welcome to the discussions.
Depending on the number of audio clips and their format, your movie may become stuttery/jerky in playback. There are several threads regarding this, the best is Karl Peterson's. Look here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=534252&tstart=150
The problem is referred to as audio stutter, but some of us find that the audio plays ok, but the video jumps. If your movie were longer, you would probably find that the audio begins to jump as well.
Sharing to quicktime is the best solution I have found. It should playback just fine. You can import it into a new imovie and if it is ok, you can delete the old one. Yes, it can be slow. For one of my complicated longer movies, it took over 6 hours. My short 16min one with only 3 short audio clips added took about 80min. So, be patient.
15 GB of free space is a minimum for working with iMovie. Try to free up 20-25. iMovie uses nondestructive editing so it can quickly gobble up GBs.
Hope this is helpful to you!

How can i export imovie project in divx format?

I can't find the DIVX format in the list of the export format?
Thanks for your help!
Regards

David,
may I intrude in your conversation. I am using iMovie '08, have downloaded the divx-package from DivX.com and still cannot find the option to export an iMovie project into the divx format. Do I need to have iMovie '09? Do I need to upgrade to QuickTime pro? Right now I'm exporting from iMovie to QuickTime in H.264 and convert that file in a second step into divx using the divx converter (trial version) from DivX.com. Very time consuming...
Thanks and regards,
Henning

Exporting iMovie Projects

Hello All,
I'm hoping someone with more expertise than my poor soul can help me figure this out...........
I recorded a 90 minute play on a digital camcorder in HD (widescreen). I imported it into iMovie.... made all the necessary edits, titles, transitions, etc.
and now want to burn it to DVD. Unfortunately, I do not have a superdrive in my computer, so when it is finished...I'll just transfer the movie to a friend's Mac and he'll burn it for me.
My question is this...... in the tests I've done so far I cannot get the widescreen format to stay. Here is what I've done:
I exported to Quicktime 16:9 (1280x720), click the "letterbox" box, .....take that file, put it on the other computer, start new iDVD project, choose 16:9 format, but when I go to burn it squishes the picture into what looks like 4:3 format.
My next test is to export at an MPEG-4.......... but I don't know what to do.......
In the end, I'd like the final project to be where I put the DVD in the DVD player and the movie plays showing the black strips above and below the video on 4:3 TVs and giving the wide format on the newer widescreen TVs.
Any insight is appreciated.

I've also found that xml exported from im08 doesn't make its way to FCE, I know it should be straight forward but what exactly did you do to achieve this.
I export as Final Cut XML, double-click on the exported file to open FCE, match file type in the "New Project" initialzation window that automatically opens (i.e. usually DV), go to the XML bin, double-click the sequence to open the timeline, and render the content in the timeline. Old test XMLs open with correct pointers to source data but newer test XMLs usually say the content is offline and I have to use the "Reconnect Media" option to reconnect the source files for preview to work.
Also to narrow down where my issue lies, what sort of xml file sizes do you get with im08, mine are around 4 Kb (I know they will vary but if you're getting say 400Kb that's a big difference)
My test XMLs are 4-8 KBs and are for 1-9 minute iMovie '08 projects.

Export iMovie project to archive?

I have some projects that I have finished, and will almost definitely not need to do any more editing on. I'd like to archive them onto an external hard drive, to clear up some space on my MBP.
I have used iMovie to archive events from the Events Library (Command-drag onto the external drive as it appears in the Events Library), but how do I export the Projects?
Can I just go into Finder, find them in the iMovies Projects folder and move them to the external drive, or do I need to do it somehow from within iMovie?
(using OS X 10.6.7, and iMovie 11, v. 9.0.2)

Normally you would do this the other way around.
Command drag your project from within iMovie onto your external drive and you will be asked if you want to move just the project or consolidate your media by moving the events etc as well.
Your external drive shows up at the bottom of your project library listing.
Type Consolidate into iMovie Help for more information.

I need help export on dvd premiere pro cs4

Hi, I am a new consumer of Premiere Cs4 and I need help. I have used, in my life, only simple authoring programs as well as Pinnacle studio and now I have some problems with Premiere. I hope that someone help me and it answer my simple questions.
1) In studio I knew, in real time, how much space the project occupied on the DVD but in premiere? How I can know speedily how much space occupied my project? I have noticed that the space occupied is visualized in encore but it is the unique methods for to have this information?
2) Because the space occupied from the project not change when I change the preference of project? An example: I create a project and I export it in encore. I set bitrate 8 and the project occupied 50mb. If I change the bitrate, an example 6, the space occupied not change! Why?
thanks

Projects don't have a bitrate. You choose your desired bitrate when you export.
You will find links to many
free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.

I need help with iMovie!!

I have a Macbook Air and I use iMovie a lot. For my school projects, and for my YouTube channel. I am currently trying to make a video that is a collection of funny moments from my favorite TV show. I have all the episodes downloaded and ready to go but some of the episodes, when i try to import them into iMovie so i can edit it, it just doesn't work. The audio and lenght of the video is fine but the visuals don't come up. It's just all black and I don't know why it doesn't work.
i know that it's not a problem with the video file because when i play it outside of iMovie, it works just fine but iMovie messes it all up.
I'm really confused and my subscribers are really mad because I promised an hour long collection of funny moments and it isn't up yet so please help me.

Hi
Most probably You've done the ones possibly in this list - but any how.
My General - list of doings are
a. NEVER - Move or alter any folder named
• iMovie Event's - or -
• iMovie Project's
in DeskTop/Finder as this breaks connection to iMovie and can be hard to impossibly to mend - Move all back.
b. Trash iMovie pref. file while iMovie is NOT Running - iMovie will make a new error free one on next up-start.
c. Repair permissions - Disk Util tool
d. Repair hard disk - Disk Util tool - but one need to start up Mac from DVD or external Hard Disk
e. Free space on Start-Up Mac OS Hard Disk - My minimum is 25Gb free space - to let iMovie and Mac OS run as intended
f. If external/secondary hard disks is/are connected and used for VIDEO - they MUST BE Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted. UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange works for most other things BUT NOT for VIDEO Whatever program is used - iMovie, FinalCut or iDVD.
g. Problem also can be due to material feed to iMovie
• Video/Codec used - Camera/Download etc. Please tell
• Audio file format used - from video, Audio-CD and iTunes etc - .aif, .mp3, .wma etc
• Photos used - in what format - .jpg, .bmp etc
BUT - You must know this - so it's more for others to find help in.
Yours Bengt W
