New ipad 3 & transfering & editing HD video in imovie....

I LOVE the new ipad 3 and want one. My question is...with the iPad 3....will you FINALLY be able to transfer HD 1080p video shot with a canon dslr like the T3i to the ipad via the Apple cam kit....and then BE ABLE TO EDIT THAT VIDEO IN IMOVIE?!!!! Lol
Thats all i wanna know. Love my ipad 1st gen....but skipped the ipad 2nd gen cause it couldnt do this. I am a photographer/videographer/blogger who travels alot, and I LOVE the form factor of the ipad and all it does.
But this is the one sticking point for me. I know there will always be things a laptop or desktop can do that an ipad isnt meant for....however...Tim Cook keeps stressing about a "Post PC world"....and this is a real world application. People shoot high quality video with dslrs and would like to edit that video while on the road. It seems like the umbilical cord has been cut btwn the ios devices and computers with the icloud and syncing....but not being able to load and edit video directly onto your ipad keeps the device stuck in the umbilical cord days. I find it very annoying.
The new retina display and faster speed make it the perfect device to edit videos while on the road. I just hope i will be able to upload my 1080p video shot with my canon dslr directly to my ipad and edit it in imovie. I dont want to have to wait to get home to my imac.

iPad only plays AVIs that conform to this spec:
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
I am not sure what iMovie will edit though.
Once you open iMovie and select start project-you should be able to select video from camera roll.

Can videos not recorded on the new ipad be edited with imovie?

can videos not recorded on the new ipad be edited with imovie?

Hi
Please rephrase Your Question - I'm not clever enough to get it
There are lot's of Cameras that record in lot's of different ways that can be edited in iMovie.
No iMovie can not use all Video-Codec's in the World - they are zillions and many needs to be converted to something iMovie can open and work with.
• Still digital Cameras as Nikons - Import into iPhoto and then in iMovie Event's window import from iPhoto-videos title
• miniDV tape Cameras - connects only via FireWire - then just Import from Camera into Event's
• SD-Card or Hard Disk Cameras Connects most ofthen via USB and Import from "File or other"
• from Internet - (out of my range - Guessing) - most will need to be converted into something iMovie likes - I would try
- StreamingDV .dv - or -
- AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec)
So as You see - I don't get it !

Can you transfer hd video directly from an ipod and then EDIT that video in imovie? I will be on the road and wont have a mac, just an ipad 2 and ipod touch. I want to shoot video on the touch and edit it on the ipad. Thanks!

Thanks Tgara.
Its funny. So far the responses have been 50/50 on this question. I even asked two seperate Apple Store employees here in NYC, and got two different answers! One said yes, the other no.
Argh!
I know from watching the keynote speech about icloud and iOS 5 that you will be able to cut the cord between the pc and ios devices like the ipad. No more need to sync them via a cord. So will that mean i would then be able to load video directly to the ipad via tha cam kit connector from my ipod? Also i wonder if/when Apple will allow HD video from on Apple devices like a canon dslr to be able to transfer to the ipad via the cam kit connector AND be able to EDIT that footage in imovie for the ipad. Speaking of imovie for the ipad...i hope it gets an update soon as well.
Anyway....with the macbook airs getting updated next week with thunderbolt and new sandy bridge chips....i may just get one of them instead of the ipad 2 for editing video on the road. Still...i prefer surfing the web experience on the ipad. Grrrrrrr. **** youuuuuuu Apple!!! Lol

Is new Mac mini sufficiently powerful to edit HD video in iMovie?

All,
I am considering purchasing the new Mac mini and would like to know if it is powerful enough to edit HD video in iMovie imported from a mini-dv-based video camera now that it has the GeForce 320M. Any insight is much appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for your responses. HDV is the format my camcorder uses. The main thing I was trying to determine is whether the new Mac mini (and it's new NVidia hardware) had enough computing horsepower to handle the HD video. My current, first generation Mac mini grinds to a halt when i try to do anything with HD but is fine for SD.

I can't get my new iPad to record a video I see the video right above camera but it is not active yet I can't touch it to activate it.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

Best Quality Export Settings in MPEG Streamclip to Edit HD Video in iMovie

Hi,
I import video from data DVDs and regular DVDs and edit the videos in iMovie. In the past, I've always used MPEG Streamclip because it can read the native DVD VOB format. I then use the "Export to DV" option in MPEG Streamclip which exports a .DV file readable by QuickTime or iMovie. These are large files, but it is my understanding that this is best quality for editing.
Now I have started to receive HD Videos. When I use MPEG Streamclip the same way, it reduces the HD video into a windowbox 720x480 video loosing all HD resolution.
I've done some research online and apparently MPEG Streamclip's DV export options are pretty limited and other people have said to use the "Export to MPEG-4" or the "Export to QuickTime" which are more configurable. Each of these requires a Compression Codec Selection. Some have said to use H.264, but I've also read that you should not compress with H.264 if you're going to be doing editing.
I do not care about file size, I want maximum quality. The incoming DVD video is 1280 x 720 (HDTV 720p), what Compression selection do I select in MPEG Streamclip for "Export to MPEG-4" or "Export to QuickTime" to maintain the best quality for editing in iMovie? I appreciate your help!

Use Apple Intermediate Codec for best quality and best editing performance.
If you have Final Cut Pro installed, you may have additional good options like ProRes 422.

Why when almost completed editing a video on imovie have half the clips developed narrow screen aspect exhibiting grey band top and bottom of each clip?

Why when almost completed editing a video on imovie, have almost half the clips developed narrow aspect - the rest is still widescreen? The faulty clips have developed grey bands top and bottom.

Tried to duplicate the situation.
Most probably I got it wrong but when adding in
• a photo in 16x9 then I get a black letterbox-ing
• an 16x9 video taken from a small compact digital Camera and in wrong frames per seconds (30fps) in a PAL (25fps) project - I get this gray banding too. Strange
May be it has to do with matching different fps in same project - never liked to do that as quality usually suffers and it goes jumpy.
I use JES_Deinterlacer to get all my material into the same standard first - not letting iMovie or iDVD do that conversion as that gives ME BAD RESULT.
Someone with clear knowledge on this - Please feel free to fill in and correct.

Editing my video on iMovie

I recently purchased a Vivitar DVR. I want to edit my video on iMovie but when I try to import what I recorded it will not allow me to. Does anyone know why? Please help
P.S. the files are stored in .AVI format is that the reason....can i convert the format

Hi
and when I changed the location of where the video was saved it delited
How did You do this ?
What version of iMovie did You use ?
Basic rule is - DO NOT move or alter any folders named
• iMovie Events - or -
• iMovie Projects
on DeskTop/Finder - if done all connections are broken and this can be hard to impossibly to mend.
First step then is to move everything back and Hope that iMovie will find them again.
Moving Events and Projects must be done within the iMovie Application and the other Hard Disk MUST BE Mac OS extended (hfs) formatted.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most BUT NOT FOR VIDEO - no matter if iMovie, iDVD or FinalCut is used.
A FireWire hard disk works best to me - as USB/USB2 performs badly to me.

Editing GoPro videos with imovie on ipad air

Hello,
I'm new to this discussion board but I have a question. I recently bought a Gopro Hero 3+ and an ipad air. I have a 64gb Sdxc memory card for my gopro. So I already know that I have to convert the files from my gopro (which are Mp4 videos) to .mov files in order for them to come up in imovie. However, after I convert the video to .mov and put the video onto my ipad through Itunes, the video does not come up in imovie, the .mov video is only showing up on the Video app that is already installed on the ipad. Am I missing something? How do i get the .mov video to show up in imovie?
Thanks for your help.

You can use the following formats in iMovie:
DV
DV Widescreen
HDV 1080i (25 and 30 fps)
HDV 720p (25 and 30 fps)
MPEG 4 Simple Profile
iSight
So, you may need to convert to mpeg 4 simple profile.

Unable to play or edit iphoto videos in imovie '11

I recently upgraded to ilife '11 and I am unable to play or edit my iphoto videos in imovie. All of my non-iphoto videos play fine however the iphoto video thumbnails appear in imovie but don't play. I've isolated it to one computer (my iMac) because the same videos play fine on my macbook pro. I've been to the apple store and on the phone with apple care but we haven't been able to solve the problem. I've repaired permissions and rebuilt the iphoto library but nothing seems to work. I created a new iphoto library and imported some video into the new library and that also plays fine. Any suggestions? Do i need to create a new iphoto library and transfer all of my existing photos and videos into the new library?
THX.
Rich

jsv:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you rename or move any of those files from the Finder? If not then manually check and set the preferences on the iPhoto Library folder and contents as follows:
Setting Permissions for iPhoto Library Folder
1 - Select the iPhoto Library folder and type Command-I.
2 - When the Info window comes up go to the Ownership and Permissions section and make sure You have Read & Write permission and that the Owner and Group have Read & Write also. Others - Read Only.
3 - Then click on the "Apply to enclosed items..." button.

When I'm editing a video on imovie, it opens with some black parts which are waging. How do I stop it?

My imovie is with problem. When I'm editing a video, it opens with some black parts which are waging, then the macbook gets slow. The original clip of the event gets all in blue and when I close imovie, it remains loading and lock completely.

i Founfd this exact behaviour with 1080p mivies on my machine. I redownloaded as 720p and all was fine. I think my computer is getting a little dated.
If this is true for you then Select Preferences, Store and When downloading High Definition videos, prefer and select 720p. Then red donload form the Purchased link under Quick Links in iTunes Store

I'm editing a video in imovie '08 and adding iphotos to the movie, but some of the photos are not showing. Help

I'm editing the video of a presentation one of my clients has delivered, I'm adding the slides of the presentation in as photos from iphoto, the problem is that some of the photos are now showing up in the video even though they have been added. Also where photo number 7 should be it is showing photo number 12? I really need to sort this out and need help. How do I get the photos to show and show properly in the right place?
Thank you in advance

I've got a list of things to look at and tryout to see if we can narrow down what's happening. Try any one in any particular order see if the problem keeps happening.
1. What format are the original photos in?
Are the all the same?
If they are different, do some work and others do not?
File formats that are “raw” may be a problem.
File size may also be a problem if they are very large files.
2. Duplicate the project in the Project Library
Try dragging a photo into that copy of the project
Any differences? If you can import photos into the Duplicate, try copying then pasting into the original and see if the image shows up.
3. Duplicate a picture inside of iPhoto
If you want to have a particular picture and can find it within iPhoto try making a duplicate.
Does it show up in the Photo browser? And can you drag that duplicated picture into the project? What do you see, what result do you get?
4. Clean the iMovie cache
Quit out of iMovie. Then go to your Movies Folder > iMovie Events > Project folder name
Drag the folder "iMovie Thumbnails" to your trash. Then open the folder "iMovie Cache" and drag the file "Cache.plist" to the trash.
This should regenerate any cached thumbnails for the project, may be helpful.
5. Try tossing out the iMovie preferences
Quit iMovie.
Open a Finder window to your user's Home folder>Library >Preferences folder. Find the file named "com.apple.iMovie.plist" or "com.apple.iMovieAppl.plist" and move it to the trash.
Try opening iMovie again, then opening the project and dragging a photo from the Photo Browser into the Project timeline.

Have you read my reply to your other thread : https://discussions.apple.com/message/18373620#18373620 ?
For Facebook try one of the facebook apps e.g. the 'official' Facebook app
To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 . You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad.

How do I re-edit a video in iMovie after I've finalized it?

Created a movie in imovie and I finalized it and put it in a usb. Now I need to go back and edit the video again but I can't find it! How can I put it back on imovie so that I can keep editing it? I have the full movie in iphoto but I need it to be in pieces where i can edit each clip like before. The file that it is in has a hazard sign on the front of it? I'm not sure what that means...
