Plug-in for straightening video in iMovie '09?

Hi. I have an iMac intel with OS 10.5.8 and iMovie '09. I need to "straighten" some of my video clips and got plug-in Slick 10 from GeeThree but failed to read the very fine print that says the plug-in can't be used in iMovie '09. Anyone have any other ideas that don't involve buying Final Cut Pro? (I just hope I can get my money back from GeeThree!) Thanks for your help.

In iMovie 09 you can only rotate your video in 90 degree increments.
This is designed for basically straightening video shot on it's side.
It cannot be used for fine adjustments.
I am not sure whether Final Cut Express ($199) can do it however it supports a wide range of 3rd party plugins including Slick.

I totally understand.
Check some things from here, I have 2 and they have been great so far.
Check here, lots of storage and reasonable prices. Also great support, you get to speak to a person
Clean off your on the G5 drive and off you go.
I suggest buying a second drive and setting it up for a back up, Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper (both "bootable" back up) All searchable on the web.

You can talk to a person for REAL advice, Phone: 800.275.4576 Ask about exporting to your G5 and and exporting to your existing OSX, you may only need a small inexpensive drive for this.
Quick delivery and willing to help.
Hope this makes you back up and running :-)
Do get a back up drive, as it is not ""whether my drive will fail, as much as "when my drive fails"
All the best

Plug-in for StarTech Video Capture Card

StarTech'website shows their ECHDCAP ExpressCard video capture card supports Adobe Premiere CS5 plug-in for editing. I talked to a Tech at StarTech and he said the card should work with Premiere Pro CS5 & CS6 but StarTech doesn't support it, and he didn't know where I can get the Premiere SC5 plug-in. Does anyone know what plug-in StarTech is referring to, and where I can get it?
If anyone is currently using the ECHDCAP capture card or the StarTech USB3HDCAP Capture Device, please let me know how you got it working with Premiere Pro.

Ann & Bill,
I probably should have given you more information. This application is different than what I usually use Premiere for.
One of my hobbies is shooting long range rifles at 1,000 yards. I'm trying to capture the point of impact on steel targets 500 to 1,000 yards away. I've attached my XA10 to my Swarovski spotting scope so I can see the impact. I've been transferring the video from the XA10 to my computer through the USB port, then importing the video into Premiere and adding it to the sequence. By the time I get all this done, then scrub the video to find the frame with the initial BANG, then count 41 frames forward for 870 yards, then scrub the video again to find the impact point, the wind and several other conditions have changed which affect my next shot. this makes for a long and tedious day.
The bottom line is... I'm trying to streamline my workflow so I can capture the video from my XA10 straight to a Premiere sequence, then start scrubbing the video to find the point of impact.
The reason I'm using Premiere is because none of my other programs allow me to scrub with audio.
I would prefer not to spend $600 for a Maxtor MX02 Mini and ExpressCard adapter; especially since it requires 110 volts and that's not available at the shooting range.
If you know of another way to do this, or can recommend an inexpensive program that will allow me to capture audio and video from my XA10 and scrub it with audio, I'd sure appreciate hearing about it.
Thank you,
Brian Scura...

Please recommend digital format for importing video into iMovie.

I have iMovie '09 and am considering a purchase of a new digital camcorder. I want to easily inport video into IMovie for editing and burning DVD's for use on our home player and for importing into Facebook, email, etc. Can you recommend the best digital format for me? Also, if you have any recommended camcorders I would appreciate that too. I'm looking for something portable with High Def and either a hard drive or flash drive memory component (or both-hybrid).

I would suggest that you pick something from[this list|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3290]

What new setup would you get for editing video in iMovie?

Hey gang. I'm upgrading all the electronics in my home and would love some buying and configuring advice. This question could go in the desktop discussion group as well, but the main thing that will tax the next system is family video editing and (temporary) storage. What desktop would you get? iMac or maybe Mac Mini? What camcorder? Canon Vixia ( http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/838768-REG/Canon_M50_HF_M50.html )? I want movies to load quickly and easily, so was thinking of one with SD card media. Time Capsule? (One advisor said to go with another router). And if you were going to get a new TV, what would you get? Flat panel or projector? Yeah, I know: my credit card is gonna be lovin' me. Been saving up, though, and just built all new furniture for my home office, so I can't wait to load it up with nice new gear. Thanks for any advice!

Sorry to correct that Karsten - you are always right normally
From the Apple Store ( http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD033LL/A/time-capsule-3tb?fnode=4d )
Easy wireless networking.
Connect your DSL or cable modem to Time Capsule, then quickly set it up with the easy-to-use AirPort Utility, which is available as download for both Mac OS X and Windows. In minutes, you and up to 50 others can use your Mac computers or PCs to surf the web, stream video, share photos and more — without wires.3
I think that earlier versions fit your description, but the latest does have wireless networking. It works like the Airport Extreme base station.

Missing Plug ins for 1channel videos

Since I upgraded my mac to mountain lion, I cannot watch movies on 1channel. I get the error Missing plug ins, and cannot seem to download or find the plug in on the website. I believe its DIVix?
I had no problems prior to my upgrade.
Any tips?
thanks!

You probably need the following:
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/

Missing plug-in for gallery videos

Several videos from Apples home page and product galleries are giving me a missing plugin prompt on the video window (example iOS 5 gallery video) and display the circle of bars like it is attempting to stream the video but never plays. Any ideas or solutions. I am running the latest Lion OS.

QuickTimeKirk had answered this problem for another user. Removing Divx extensions was the correct answer. Thank you!

I am getting a "blocked plug-in" screen for most video content.

I am getting "blocked plug-in" for most video content that I try to view. I have followed counsel on here; only dead-ends so far. I have followed the command to download an updated version of Adobe Flash many times, but to no avail. Very frustrating. I am told by a friend that I should be able to select "enable plug-ins" on a scroll-down menu somewhere. I found such a menu on Safari; it is already enabled. Any help? I am on a MacBook Air that is less than a year old.

I just bought the new 2014 Mac Mini 2.6 8Gig for $699 at the Apple Store Online. I want to use it for light editing in iMovie making video's for YouTube, I couldn't afford the higher priced models. Is this going to work for me? I hope so..

Will this do basic video editing for YouTube Video's in iMovie, I hope so. It's all I could afford.
Just under $800 with tax and Applecare.
It's stock 2.6 8gigs 1 terabyte hard drive.
I have two monitors DVI that I plan to hook to it.
I know it's weak but will it get me going without too much hardship.
I want to grow into the more high priced computers and Final Cut Pro later on.
I know I will need a bigger computer then.
Thanks

There are many people using the basic (i5) 2012 MacMini and even older ones to edit complex films in FCP X so you should have no problems.
I have been using FCP 7 and FCP X since they came out on my 2008 iMac Core 2 Duo and am thinking of getting the same model as you rather than pay the astronomic price for a new 27" iMac.
The performance won't be quite as fast but it will be at least 4 times faster at rendering than my old iMac.

Download and import YouTube videos to iMovie for editing

Download and import YouTube videos to iMovie for editing
YouTube always provides people with raw video materials on all sorts of things happened worldwide in real time. Video lovers are fond of downloading these files as private collection, even using video editors like iMovie to do further editing of their favorite ones, so as to import them to portable devices like iPod, iPhone, PSP, Blackberry, etc. for playback, or upload to their own websites to share with others, or do something else as they like.
However, not all the people have found a proper way to download YouTube videos, not to mention how to add these files to iMovie for editing. YouTube videos are in the format of FLV, which is not a workable format in iMovie, so if you want to import YouTube videos to it without trouble, you should convert FLV files to iMovie compatible formats such as MPEG-4 and MOV in advance. With the special intention of solving these two problems, this guide will show you how to download YouTube videos and import them to iMovie for editing step by step. If you are in need, just feel free to go along with it.
Step 1: Download, install and run Pavtube YouTube Converter for Mac
This converter can process downloading and conversion simultaneously. Once you launch it, the interface below well pop up.
Step 2: Add URL, select output format and set save path
Press tag “Add URL” in the above interface, and then the following window will appear. Just copy and paste the URL of the YouTube video file which you want to download and convert to the text box after “URL”. Then select a supportable format for iMovie by clicking the drop-down list of “Convert To”. Here I choose MOV for example.
Afterwards, you can insert the storage file name in the text box of “Save As”, if not, the program will generate one automatically. Here I save my file as “mycollection”. Meanwhile, you are allowed to hit “Browse” in the opposite side of “Save To” to specify the destination folder. By the way, if you want to save the original FLV files, you are allowed to tick the checkbox “Save FLV File” to achieve this goal.
Step 3: Custom
This program enables you to adjust video and audio parameters like codec, bit rate, aspect ratio, frame rate, sample rate, and channels, so that you can change them randomly according to your own demands. Generally speaking, the options which refer to values are always in condition of the larger values, the larger file size, but better quality. Do remember click “OK” to save your custom settings.
Step 4: Download and convert
Once all the settings are done, you can click “OK” button to start. The following window will show you the progress of downloading and conversion.
Step 5: Import the output MOV files to iMovie
As soon as the YouTube video files have been downloaded and converted to MOV or other iMovie workable format, you can click “Open” at lower right corner of the above interface to find out the output files. Afterwards, launch iMovie, and click File > Import to add the output files to iMovie for editing.
Tips:
1. This program supports batch tasks so that you can download multiple YouTube video files in batches at a time.
2. Pavtube YouTube Converter for Mac adopts multi-threading technology, which makes its download speed is faster than any other similar YouTube downloader.
3. Besides YouTube.com, it can also automatically detect and download online videos in the format of .flv, and f4v from many other video-sharing websites, like Yahoo Video, Myspace, Google Video, Fox and more.
4. It also provides users with conversion function, with which you can convert any YouTube FLV/F4V files to other formats like MP4, MKA, WAV, AC3, MKV, FLV, MP3, M4A, 3GP, AVI, MOV, MPG, etc. at will.
5. If you only use it as a YouTube downloader without format conversion, you can take it as a piece of freeware.
All right, this guide is ending up now; hope it will do you a favor while downloading video files from YouTube as well as importing them to iMovie for further editing.

It's a clip from CNN (with all credits etc. added). When one refers to it as a clip posted on "YouTube", then people understand the quality will be poor.
I've watched television go from everything shot on a tripod with clean, meticulous editing rules, to almost anything goes. It has to do with cultural reference.

How do I display the complete time sequence for a video clip in iMovie?

How do I display the time complete time sequence for a video clip in iMovie?
I'm trying to create a movie for someone where they provided me the video clips and what time sequences they want extracted. For example: Video footage from time 5m22s to 9m:18s and 11m17s to 15m31s from the imported video clip. I know you can select video but I cannot figure out how to select from those requested time markers.
Any help would be apreciated.

Open the file using QuickTime Player and then open the Movie Inspector window.

Change the pic iMovie passes to YouTube for it's ID pic for that video?

what else is there to say

it's not iM which selects this picture
that 'Poster Frame' is automatically generated by YouTube.
Go into your YT account, in 'information' YT offers you 3 poster-frames:
#1 is 1st frame of your uploaded video
#2 is 2x the length of movie/4 ... (e.g. 80sec movie/4 x2 = 40sec)
#3 is 3x the length of movie/4 ... (e.g. 80sec movie/4 x3 = 60sec)

What video settings should I select for 60m of video in iMovie

My gear: HDTV, DVD player that upconverts to 1080i, Canon HG10 HD camcorder
I record in HD. I have both an HDTV and a 4:3 standard TV. I don't have a Bluray player, nor do I want to invest in one at the moment.
I only need to record 60 minutes of video at a time to a single DVD.
Question: what settings in iMovie should I use to ensure the BEST video quality when I play back on my HDTV and DVD player that upconverts?

If you shoot 30p, ingesting 960x540 should be enough for your DVD output. If you use 60i, then importing and outputting at 1080i would be important to maintain 60Hz motion smoothness. (You shouldn't use stabilization or cropping while editing to avoid damaging 60i.) Then use MPEG streamclip or JES deinterlacer to resize 1080i 60 to 480i 60 to feed DVD authoring tool.
Or, you may want to use iMovie09 only as an importing tool for AVCHD video. Use imported movie (1080i AIC) in iMovieHD to edit movie and send it to iDVD, which will preserve 60i motion.
