Nikon D3100 - using new video SLR with iMovie

Thinking of buying a D3100. Will iMove 09 support:D3100 boasting full 1080p high-def at 24fps and 720p at 24,25 or 30fps?

Hi
iMovie up to '09 only handles 25fps and 30fps - and so did FinalCut Express
NOW - iMovie'11 states that it can use 24fps - and I used a Nikon D300s and it seems nice as long as
Camera isn't "Panning" - Steady Camera on tripod and it looks Great - Sweeping and everything is leaning
one way or the other. Most probably the Camera and how it beaves.
FinalCut Studio also handles 24fps OK - even in a Professional way.

I want to use a video projector with powerpoint can I use my mac to drive it- and what about sound?

Hi Scott,
You should be able to. If the projector has a speaker with acceptable sound, that's one option, otherwise powered speakers or a surround system.
What connections does the projector have?
Exactly which MBP do you have?

Hi

I am trying to do video editing with iMovie 11 9.0.8 . I am running OS X Lion 10.7.5 I have no sound,any suggestions please.

This seems to have fixed the issue: on your desktop, hold down the [OPT] key and click on "Go" in the menu bar; holding down the [OPT] click on Library, find Preferences, and then delete all the files that start with "com.apple.itunes.XXXX.plist" where the "XXX" is whatever other things may exist - as long as they end in "plist". From my experience, preference files are rebuilt by the system after the next restart, so you have very little worry of losing any important data; the worst that could happen )and NOT in this instance, but for other plist files) is that you may have to reset the application "preferences" again when you next start it up, to act or appear in a "preferred" customized way for you.
Once you delete the .plist files, empty the Trash, and either log out or restart the computer. Once you're back up and operational, start iTunes and your iDevices should reappear in the sidebar (if that's open) and/or at the top of the screen (if that view is enabled).
Hope that helps. It definitely fixed my problem!

Panasonic camcorder HDC-TM90 any experience using Pavtube Video Converter with Final Cut Pro X

Does anyone have any experience using Pavtube Video Converter with Final Cut Pro X for Panasonic camcorder HDC-TM90 shooting in 1080 P 60 ( mts file extension)

Don't use these generic offbrand converters to get footage into FCP X. they re-encode your video and cause loss of quality. If FCP X cannot import your video then use a utility that simply re-wraps it into a quicktime file with no transcoding or loss. I prefer Clipwrap which works great and is updated frequently but there are free alternatives like Media Converter or Rewrap.
But version 10.04 of FCP X should import it directly from camera as long as the folder structure is complete and you are not trying to merely import it from single mts files.

Can I use a BlackBerry Playbook with iMovie?

Hello: Although I reckon I'm going to have to spend quite some familiarising myself with iMovie before making any serious attempts at recording/uploading,etc, I would like to know if I can use thr video- recording facility that's part of a BlackBerry Playbook I bought, in 2012 (it was almost a giveaway price in a store sale,even though I was then looking at buying an iPad.)

@redstar12
Check your Settings > Network Connections > Mobile Network > Network Technology to tell me what are your network choices listed as? 2G, 3G, etc?
You may need to get a new SIM card from Vodafone.
Has the one you have now worked for 3G?

Using external firewire iSight with iMovie 8

I'm trying to use my old external iSight camera that I purchased for my old powerbook with iMovie, but only the internal iSight camera is showing in the drop down menu.
When I plug in my external iSight camera it will make the lens adjusting noise and the light will come up briefly.
Is there any way I can get that external iSight camera to work with iMovie 8?

You're welcome, adamrod
... My computer is not recognizing the external iSight camera ... I know the iSight works because I tested it on my old G4.
If you mean that TODAY your iSight works with one of your Macs but not the other, the problem is in your newer Mac, its Firewire or Firewire port connection, or the cable you are using with it.
A properly working iSight will be recognized as a Firewire device as shown in this image:
If your test with your old G4 was long ago, your iSight may have failed since last you used it. In addition to the Apple iSight troubleshooting link I posted earlier, you can use the additional suggestions in this link to test the current functionality of your external iSight:
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
One of those suggestions will get a faulty external iSight working unless it is beyond repair.
The only app I know to try it with would be iChat and I don't even see anywhere in the preferences where you could change it from built-in iSight to external.
The camera choices bar will show ONLY if more than one working, iChat-compatible, camera is connected. If the choice does not show, iChat is not recognizing more than one working camera.
Different apps use different methods of camera selection. In iChat, you can choose which iSight you use in the "Camera:" choices bar in iChat > Preferences... > Audio/Video that appears when more than one (working) compatible camera is connected. Although your camera choices will be different, the choices bar will look something similar to the Preferences settings shown here:
Most other applications also have settings that allow you to choose which camera to use. You already know that iMovie 7's camera choice is NOT set via Preferences. When you have more than one (working) compatible camera connected, iMovie uses the drop-down menu choice in the camera "Preview" window that I mentioned in my previous post to you.
For apps other than those above, see their Help or other documentation if you need help with selecting which camera the app will use.
When I plug the iSight the light comes on briefly, goes off and then it makes an auto adjusting noise.
This is normal behavior for external iSight.
What does your external iSight do when you plug it in?
The same thing you describe for yours.
Does the light stay on constantly?
Only when the iSight is actually in use. Otherwise, the light goes out on an external iSight that is working correctly but in standby mode.
The light should NOT be illuminated when no apps that can use iSight are running. Likewise, the iSight green lamp should extinguish when iSight is not actually being used by an app. Specific examples:
iChat connected but not in chat: *iSight light OFF*
iChat connected and in video chat: *iSight light ON*
iChat > Video > Video Preview w/iSight shutter open: *iSight light ON*
iMovie open but no capture Preview window open: *iSight light OFF*
iMovie Preview window open (whether capturing or not): *iSight light ON*
Because the light is merely an indicator that iSight is in use rather than any kind of functional necessity, whether the iSight light is on or off has never been of any serious concern to me.
Is there any other app I should try it with?
You can use any you like. There are suggestions in the Apple Troubleshooting link listed earlier, and there are more in this list:

Most compatable video camera with iMovie 09 ?

Please help !
I love iMovie but was very disappointed using it with my Sony Handycam - apparently they did not speak to each other !! I used Steve Mullen's book and still didn't have any luck so I sold my camera ! Now I am hoping that Santa will bring me a new video camera and I need to tell him which is the best one for my needs. The JVC GZ-HD300 has been suggested and I have checked the compatibility on the Apple register and cannot even see it listed. I would like some true advice from real people please - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My main requirements in purchasing camera are recording in HD, HDD storage and memory card back up. Thanks

You have euro camcorders I don't know. Assuming the sr8 is our sr7 -- I havent heard anything bad. But, if you shoot where there is loud sounds the issues are:
1) is the mic itself overloaded?
2) does the mic overload the camcorder circuit before the gain control?
3) if the answers are NO, then IF one could adjust camcorder gain -- then that is the solution. But, if the either 1 or 2 is true, then being able to adjust gain will not help.
Seems like the Sony suffers from 1 or 2 because if it didn't you would have already adjusted the Sony gain -- or the Sony has no gain control.
If you want to keep using the Sony you might try an external mic.
Mic output levels typically range from –40dB to -60dBu. (Bigger negative values are softer than smaller negative values.) You want a mic with less output than the built-in Sony mic. But, since you don't have its spec., it's hard to shop for a different one.
That leaves trial and error, or trying out different camcorders. Since you know at least one Canon camcorder works, I would start with Canon. I'd look for one with an external mic input AND an adjustable level. If not a level control -- a menu item to switch in "attenuation."
PS1: check if your Sony has a menu item to switch in "attenuation."
PS2: This is a wonderful example of how in 90% of the talk about camcorders, audio is never mentioned. Yet, if you talk with pros they spend more $ on mics -- often buying several -- than they do on their camcorder. In the situations you shoot at -- audio is more of a worry than video. You are recording VERY loud sounds that can overload anything but a really good mic. (Or, if the mic works -- it may out out a bigger signal than a camcorder can accept.) Which makes me wonder about buying a mic mixer and some good mics rather than a new camcorder. This would be a one time investment. In fact, you could also buy one of these stereo mic-mixer-digital recorders. Record to SD card AND pass a signal to one camcorder. It also opens the door to recording bands. Just a passing thought.

Using a video adapter with Leopard

I have a fellow teacher who has always used her eMac with a video adapter to connect to her TV to share with her students what was on her screen. During the summer, her eMac was updated to Leopard. Now nothing will show on her TV. The adapter works on an eMac running Tiger, but not the Leopard machine. I see where early complaints of Leopard included not being able to use a video adapter, but is there now a "work around"? The computer recognizes the fact that an adapter is used if you click on the display icon on the menu bar, but nothing shows up on the TV - any ideas???

I'd like to know about a workaround too. My guess is there isn't one if the eMac only has one video output. What it seems that Leopard does is try to recalibrate settings for every new monitor, and it doesn't work well with the video adapter. If you're able to view the eMac WHILE the monitor adapter is connected, maybe you can try changing the settings under "displays" (bring colors down from millions to thousands, change from NTSC to PAL, etc...see if any of that gives you TV picture.)

How can I use the green screen with iMovie?

Hey guys! I was wondering how does the green screen effect work with iMovie 11? I need to use green screen in iMovie in school for a project and I am trying to troubleshoot the problem.
Help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben

Record a video against a green screen and import it to imovie.
Then place the green screen footage ON TOP of the background you want and a list should come up. Select green screen. Also, before you do any of that make sure that your advanced tools are selected under preferences in imovie.

Using the video iPod with the Bose SoundDock

I just purchased the new video iPod and Bose SoundDock, I noticed that I can't fast forward through MP3s when using the SoundDock remote, anyone else notice this? Downloaded the latest updates from Apple's website, didn't help...
drakemallard

Hey,
I had exactly the same problem and updated both my iTunes software and my iPod Software (downloaded the latest iPod updater) and the problem has been fixed. My iPod video is now running software version 1.1 and I can fasst forward and rewind using the Bose remote with no problems now!
I loved the SoundDock before, but now it just feels all that more complete. Hope it helps.

Cannot Import Video made with iMovie for iPhone/iPod Touch

I edited a video on my iPod touch using Apple's iMovie. The resulting .MOV file that iMovie creates will not import into iPhoto '11. While iMovie recognises the file just fine, iPhoto believes it is an unsupported file type. It's a .MOV for goodness sakes created with Apple's own hardware and program! Very strange. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.

Hey there. In answer to your question, all other clips that appear in my camera roll are easily seen by iPhoto. It is only those movies that I have created with iMovie for iPhone that iPhoto does not recognize. It's really strange, considering the fact that it's just a .MOV file. As a result, I've had to download a program called 'DiskAid' that allows me to transfer the .MOV file directly to my computer from the iPod Touch.
In answer to your question regarding whether or not iMovie for iPhone was worth downloading, I would have to say yes (assuming of course the import-to-iPhoto problem gets fixed). It's not a perfect program. My biggest complaint is that you have to import clips ONE at a time. There's no 'import all' option. This is really time consuming as you have to cycle through all the videos on your iPod or iPhone and manually tap each one and repeat. My dad likes to take a lot of 1-minute videos that then have to get spliced together and that can be really tedious with how this iMovie is currently set up. However, if you regularly think to add your clips to an existing project as you go along, things should be fine. It could do with a few more features and faster rendering times, but on the whole, it's a decent program. I have a feeling, though, that it was designed more for the YouTube generation who want to upload a five-minute video instead of people like my father and I who like to edit an hour or so and then eventually burn to a DVD. iMovie for the Mac still CERTAINLY has it's place.

Use 'iControl for GarageBand' with iMovie

M-Audio's iControl is intended only for use with GarageBand: but it is possible to make it work with other programs to an extent. Here is a way of using the transport buttons and jog wheel with iMovie. (Tested with iMovie 4 but I assume it should work the same with later versions).
Download MIDIstroke from
http://www.charlie-roberts.com/midiStroke/
(it's free).
On the left in the three columns num/chn/value enter the values separated by / below, then map each set on the right side by entering the text as shown and ticking the 'shift' box where indicated
24/1/1 - RIGHT
24/1/127 - LEFT
109/1/127 - SPACE
110/1/127 - RIGHT [SHIFT]
108/1/127 - LEFT [SHIFT]
106/1/127 - SPACE
107/1/127 - HOME
111/1/127 - END
Connect the iControl, run MIDIstroke and iMovie.
Now the jog wheel will jog the movie backwards or forwards a frame at a time: however if you move it too fast it will fail to respond at all.
The transport buttons are mapped as follows:
Record and play will both toggle start and stop as appropriate in the program.
Fast forward and back will make a single jump of ten seconds for each press (there is no repeat when held down).
Go to beginning does just that, and the cycle button goes to the end.
It's not ideal but if you already have an iControl and you don't have a mouse with a scroll wheel (and a driver for mapping to keystrokes), or something with a jog wheel, this might make editing a bit easier.
You could use MIDI Monitor (also free) from
http://www.snoize.com/MIDIMonitor/
to tell you what commands are being sent by the various iControl buttons and knobs and then use those to map any way you want in any program -the only caveat is that you can't have different commands in different programs: and obviously there has to be a keystroke to do whatever it is you want.

Roger,
this is grrrreat!
I really LOVE such workarounds!!
using a midi-controler for video-editing.. wowy...
.. but on my desk, the M-Audio would be way too big, so I like to use this device:
