New iMovie

Hi sorry I've big problem. You know in the older version of iMovie were always timeline, and in that timeline u caould edit volume in time. I mean I want in the middle of the clip turn the music down and then a few seconds after turn it up again. Can I reveal somewhere the timeline or not? Or how can I do it? Thx for help

Thanks, Jon, for your simple solution to the problem.
Another way offered by iMovie '08 is to create a short voiceover recording — a voiceover of silence or of your slow count "1, 2, 3, 4..." — that you place over the portion of the video clip you want to soften. iMovie '08 lets us use the voiceover to automatically soften the video clip "beneath" it. The voiceover has a setting to "Duck" the audio of the video clip.
1. Place the cursor in the video clip where you want the reduction in volume to occur.
2. Create the voiceover recording. Trim to the desired length.
3. Select the voiceover clip, then press "A" to adjust its Audio.
4. Set the voiceover volume to zero (optional).
5. Turn on the "Ducking" checkbox, which lowers the volume of the video clip.
6. Adjust the In/Out fades that affect the video clip.
It goes without saying, of course, that these solutions don't require iMovie 6. Opinions might differ on the user interface, but I think the iMovie '08 solution is more elegant than dragging those pesky audio beach balls in iMovie 6.
To learn about other cool features of iMovie '08, I suggest viewing the excellent iMovie '08 Tutorial.

Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it?

Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it? I thought that if I bought it the apps on my macbook, they would be avaliable on my imac like the mobile devices operate. The macbook has 10.6.8 cause its a older model and I think lion would slow it down. Any help??

Just redownload it on the other computer by logging into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase it.

Problem importing video from a DV camera into the new imovie 10.0? I have a Sony DCR TRV17 connected via Firewire port that worked in 9.0.9 but not under 10.0...

I have a Sony DCR TRV17 that I used to pass through VCR tape video via Firewire port to my Mac Pro under Imovie 9.0.9 without an issue. Now under Imovie 10.0 the video shows in the import window, I can start recording yet when I stop recording the recorded clips do not show up anywhere. The movie file I'm creating still indicates that I still need to import video. Anyone having similar problems?

Hey Dave,
I had this issue only once before but was lucky enought to find it was a specific event causing the import to freeze. It took me some time to isolate the problem though. I would recommend letting it sit there for some time before you try any troubleshooting. Larger libraries can take long periods of time to update.
This is a good thread for this issue. I would first try removing the iMovie.plist as elikness mentions.
1. Open Finder
2. Click on "Go" in the menu bar.
3. Click on Go To Folder on the dropdown menu.
4. Type "~/Library/Preferences/" in the text field and click Go.
5. Find the com.apple.iMovie(some number).plist file and move it to Trash.
Quit and relaunch iMovie to see if this took care of the issue before attempting the next step. If you're still having an issue then you can try what I needed to do which is isolating the problem event.
1. Open Finder.
2. Go to the Movies folder. You should see iMovie Events here.
If you have a larger event library I'd recommend renaming the iMovie Events folder to say, "iMovie Events COPY". Then create a new empty folder named “iMovie Events”. When you launch iMovie 9.0.9 all events will be missing at this point. Quit iMovie if it is open. Then you can either drag each event from iMovie Events COPY to iMovie Events or you can select and drag several at a time. Each time you drag an event folder back into the new iMovie Events folder launch iMovie 9.0.9 to see if you are having the same issue. Wash and repeat until either you have found the problem event or you have imported all events.
If you find the problem event you can reimport the clip from iMovie 9.0.9 by going to File > Import > Movies and navigating to that events iMovie Original Movies folder to find the clip.
Hope this helps!

HT2203 How do I export a file from the new iMovie 10.0.2 to iPod size?

Hi - just using the new iMovie for the first time - apparently there should be a sidebar containing tools like "Content Library". Not on mine - even in Window view, Content Library features like text etc are all greyed out - obviously it's me - help?

Sorry - I should have added that I have imported a Quicktime movie, originally created as an iPhoto slideshow.

how do i record video on the new iMovie on my mac

Hey baseballgod44,
Great question! The following article outlines how to record video with the FaceTime HD Camera in iMovie (2013):
iMovie (2013): Record video with the FaceTime HD camera
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14675
Record live video directly into iMovie
1. Do one of the following:
          - To record using the built-in camera: Click the Import button in the toolbar.
          - To record using an external iSight camera: Connect the iSight camera to your computer with a FireWire cable, and click the Import button in the toolbar.
2. In the Cameras section of the Import window sidebar, select the camera you want to import from.
A live video image from the camera appears in the Import window.
3. Do one of the following:
          - To choose an existing event to contain the video: Choose the event from the “Import to” pop-up menu at the top of the Import window.
          - To create a new event to contain the video: Choose New Event from the “Import to” pop-up menu, type a name for the new event, and press Return.

How do you compile movie on new iMovie app?

I have been a user of the prior iMovie software. I now have the newest version and am puzzled since when compiling a new video I cannot figure how to save it into a file which I can burn to a disk which will play on my standard blu-ray player. When I complete a video in the new iMovie and click on "Share" and select "file" is saves a file in my computer but the file will not play on the DVD. How do you go from the compiled video in iMovie and get a burnable file which will play on the DVD? (If I click on this file to open it, it will not open.) Is there some other software which is necessary? Thank you for any suggestions? I did download "Quicktime Player 7 Pro" into my utility folder, but I can't see how this helps.

How to turn off ken burns effect in new imovie

The new iMovie---11-- how in the heck do I turn off the Ken Burns effect? Nothing against Mr Burns but.... I don't want everything to move!
Thanks!

Go to File/Project Properties and you can define the default behavior for adding stills to your project.
After clicking File/Project Properties, you will click on the Timing Tab. There you will see how to set the default still photo duration and the initial photo placement.
You an set it as Ken Burns, Fit, or Crop. You can always change it later in the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns tools, but if you are importing a lot, it makes sense to set the default as the one you are most likely to need.

New iMovie - A few questions (fav/reject, timeline)

Have some questions on the new iMovie v 10:
1. Is the "new" clip wrapping "vertical" timeline view gone? I actually liked this as opposed the the traditional horizontal timeline. Now all I see is the traditional horizontal timeline.
2. The Favorite and Reject buttons appear to be gone. I have to right-click and then select "favorite" or "reject" . This has gone from one click to two...And I don't feel that I have gained this space in the UI. Can I get fav and reject buttons back?

1- View>Wrapping Timeline
2- Fav/Reject specific buttons are gone but can be accessed with a control click. Which will also show you the Keyboard Shortcuts for those options.

Where are old iMovie files that were in "Movie" favorites before I got new iMovie and Mavericks?

Just installed Mavericks and bought the new iMovie. Looked for labled finished movies folders that I had kept in Movies on my HD favorites on OS 10.6.7, but that Fave doesnt exist in Mavs. Where can I find the labeled folders with all their working files? Some unlabeled files do exist individually in All My Favorites but seem of little help without labels.

I meant "All My Files"

I asked this question before but I can't find it now. Anyway, I'm trying to import a DVD video that was made on a MAC and use it on a new iMovie project.

I asked this question before but I can't find it now. Anyway, I'm trying to import a DVD video that was made on a MAC and use it on a new iMovie project.
How do I do the importing.

If the video is already on a DVD:
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

How do I create a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

How do I creat a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX. It's kinda hidden in the "share." Go File/Share/Add Destination. You want "Save Current Frame." After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

Is there a tutorial on how to run the new IMovie version 10?

Can someone direct me to video tutorials on how to operate the new IMovie inside Maverick. As has been the case recently with Apple, this update isn't necessarily user driven. Help please.

There's some info in iMove->Help:

Yahoo......got my new iMovie 11 today and it support 1080p

Yahoo......got my new iMovie 11 today and it support 1080p export
ok Apple...where the blu-ray 1080p burner...please....

This is a great comment. 1080P seems to be pretty much the standard now on HD TV sets so it was great to see iMovie finally supporting 1080P. The question now is how to actually get that 1080P resolution on your TV set. You can't burn it onto a DVD of course. You could upload the 1080P video to Youtube but again, how do you view it on your TV? I have an (old) Apple TV and that can connect to Youtube but it won't support 1080P, only 720P.
Supposedly, an XBOX 360, which I also have, will play video in 1080P. Microsoft has their own issues and even though my XBOX has a 250GB hard drive, there is no way to get any home video footage onto that hard drive. Microsoft doesn't support that.
Thoughts anyone?

Cannot open my old mov. files with new imovies 10.0.3

I went to open a .mov file I wanted to re-edit and only Quicktime was given as an option. I've tried to create a new event with the new imovies and that isn't happening either. How to do either of these simple things would be appreciated.

The new iMovie is only going to accept certain formats and codecs. You should re-export or re-save your movie files from QuickTime to a new format. You may notice a "(converted)" in the title bar of some of your movies as they are opened in QT. QT is now converting movies into more "acceptable" codecs as it loads them into memory.
After export, they should be acceptable in iMovie.
