Problems with export in imovie

Hi there
I created a video on iMovie 11 which is about 45 minutes long.
I now exported the project with QuickTimePlayer in various formats (mpeg4, mp4, avi..) but the quality is really bad. I also changed the settings (kbits, datarate etc.) I want to put the project on a DVD.
Does anyone have an idea what I could o?
I really tried a lot of things and it already took some hours, I'm quite tired of iMovie..
Regards, Martina

Hi Jazz44,
Welcome to the Support Communities! What version of iMovie and the Mac operating system are you working with? If you goal is to burn your iMovie project to a DVD .... I would suggest you download the free trial of our professional video application software called Final Cut Pro X. The application is fully functional for 30 days. You can import your iMovie project into Final Cut Pro X. Then from the Share menu in Final Cut Pro X, you can choose DVD, and the program will burn the movie in the correct format for a DVD that can be played on your TV with a DVD player.
I'll include the Trial download and appropriate sections of the manual for you below:

Having a problem with exporting in iMovie

Hi,
I shot some live music video on a Sony handycam. The plan was to import it into iMovie, adjust the audio EQ, adjust the brightness, contrast etc., trim a few second of banter off the beginning and end, and uploed it to youtube. Everything is great until the export part. Apparently, the clips are too big for youtube, and if I try to export a five minute clip using quicktime, a message tells me that it is going to take four hours? What am I doing wrong? Are the sony files not compatible with youtube? I uploded from the camera to iMovie in the smaller size.

Treaks wrote:
However, to access those things and clip trimmer, the clip has to be dragged into Project.
That's the basic iMovie workflow. First you import your clips to iMovie where they'll show up in the Events Library. Then you create a Project and move the specific clips you want to it from the Event Library. Your Event Library is available to all your Projects which means a single clip can be used in many different Projects.
To do any converting, finalizing, or exporting, the message is telling me hours and hours.
Depending on the length of your project and how you're outputting it (Sharing) it can take some time. In the test example I created for YouTube, it took about 25 minutes to complete. The majority of that time is for uploading to YouTube. That process is dependent on your internet connection and upload speed and will vary accordingly.
If I click on the camera icon on the desktop, there was a folder with MTS files in it. I copied this files to my desktop. .
Even without iMovie, it's possible to do a lot with your video using just your Mac. As you've found out, by connecting your camera you have access to your video clips and can do things like play them using the QuickTime player.
There is also a folder in the camera called AVSHD. this contains QuickTime files. I can click on those files, and they open, and play with QuickTime player. I cannot edit those, except for Trim, and I'm not sure that they are small enough for export.
Have a look at this thread where our residnet guru, AppleMan1958 talks about importing AVCHD.

I'm having problem with exporting video from premiere pro cc 2014

I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 and I'm having problem with exporting video.
When I click Export and media, the window for exporting appears and it starts exporting video.
But after a few minutes, it looks like it has completed exporting video and says there's a bug in exporting.
It literally says it has a problem with compiling, but I don't know what the real problem is.
I tried many things like restarting computer and Premire Pro but it's no use.
But it works when I use Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 for exporting video.
If anyone knows any possibilities about why this problem happens, please let me know.

I'm having a similar issue. When I go to export my project, I add it to the render queue, set it up with the h.264 settings that I've used with countless past versions of the program, and then hit render. Randomly, at some point in the process, the render just stops and the ETA just keeps climbing. I actually had to save an XMF file of the CC 2014 project and bring it into the previous CC version of Premiere just to finish it. Even a clean re-install of CC 2014 doesn't work.

Problem with exporting devices to non-global zone

Hi,
I've problem with exporting devices to my solaris zones (i try do add support to mount /dev/lofi/* in my non-global zone).
A create cfg for my zone.
Here it is:

I reboot the non-global zone, even reboot global-zone, and after that, in sapdev zone, there is no /dev/*lofi/* files.
What i do wrong? Maybe I reduce my sol 10 u4 sparc instalation too much.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks for help,
Marek

I experienced the same problem on my system Sol 10 08/07.
Normally, when the zone enters the READY state during boot, it's zoneadmd will run devfsadm -z <zone>. In my understanding this is to create the necessary device files in ZONEPATH/dev.
This worked well until recently. Now only the directories are still created.
It seems as if devfsadm -z is broken. Somebody should issue a call to sun.
As a workaround you can easily copy the device files into the zone. It is important not to copy the symbolic link but the target.
# cp /dev/lofi/1 ZONEPATH/dev/lofi
Hope this helps,
Konstantin Gremliza

Problem with Exporting Data to Excel

Hi Everyone,
I have problem with exporting the data to a excel file. I am using a XP
system in German which uses comma "," as the decimal point , and I also set
"Use localized decimal point*" under the FronPanel Options to be true. But
the exported excel file can not recognize (or just ignore) the comma for a
whole column (flow rate), for examle "1,234" (1.234 in non-german system)
would be 1234. But if I open its text file where the data came
from by calling Excel directly, there will be no problem. Is this a bug of
LabVIEW, or I forget some settings?
Thanks a lot!
Le
P.S: The LabVIEW version is 8.2.1 and the Office version is Office2007.

Hi Le,
Sound familiar; here in The Netherlands we have the same problem. That is why we use the English versions for XP and Office.
I don’t quite understand how you interface to Excel. Directly with ActiveX or through a CSV file.
Can you explain a bit more ?

URGENT : Problems with exporting a translated application

Hi ! I have a problem with exporting a translated application. Effectively, I exported both applications (The normal and the translated version). I want now to apply the translation XLIFF. I want to know if it is possible to apply my old XLIFF file. The problem is that I can't select the same ID for my application.
I really have problems!
Anyone can help me ?

When I import the translated version, the translation works a little bit. Effectively, all my reports appear but there is no item that appears.

How can I fix this problem with exporting Pages files?

Hello,
I'm having problems with exporting Pages files to Word or PDF (I haven't tried the other formats). Whenever I try to export the Page file, I get one message like this: "The document "XXXXXXX" could not be exported as "YYYYYYY". This problem started after the last Pages update, before that it was working fine. I restarted the computer, updated the OS, but the problem hasn't been solved.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
Filipe

Computers are made of parts made by humans and assembled by humans of materials that are not perfect.
For example, a display cable that was accidentally pinched during assembly would pass quality control testing with flying colors and would not fail until the lid had been opened and closed several times.
Likewise a display might not fail until powered on and off a few hundred times.

Problems with exporting iMovie to iDVD

i want to export from iMovie 6.03 to iDVD 7.02. iDVD does´nt start.
What is the Problem ?
<Edited by Moderator>

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following;
1 - close iMovie.
2 - open iDVD, set your theme, etc.
3 - drag the iMovie project file into the iDVD menu window being sure to miss any drop zones present.
This will let iDVD do the encoding of any transitions in iMovie instead of iMovie thus eliminating additional compressions to the movie.
When you have the iDVD project as you want it use the File->Save as disk image menu option to save it as a disk image. That will allow you to preview the project using DVD Player to make sure the encoding was correct. Once you're happy with the disk image you can burn it to disk using Disk Utility at the slowest speed available. Also use top grade media like Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden -R disks.

New problem with camera and imovie 08

i have two questions already posted about my camera not being found by imovie 08 except that it did it the first time and wouldn't any time after that.
well here's the new problem. as i'm sitting here trying to find some other post that could help me with my dilemna imovie opens and shows my impost screen but says "communication error". with my first joy and imovie working again came confusion about this error. the error makes it so i cannot import video because the next "error" that comes up says my camera is disconnected or off but even this is farther than i've gotten in weeks. i don't know what this error means and i still can't import video. anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this?

Hi
Test another FW-Cable.
Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
Toogle in iMovie pref: Play-back via Camera (on<->off some times)
Other ways to import Your miniDV tape:
Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
(HAS TO BE Mac OS Exchange formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
(Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)
What Camcorder ?
FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin FW one ?
Using WHAT ? :
• Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
• QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
• iMovie 8 (7.1.?) ?
• iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? (Others don't count)
Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
(Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
everything else is OK eg recording and playback to TV)
Delete iMovie pref file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into
this and have a re-try.
from LKN 1935:
Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935
from Karsten:
in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
camera not on battery, but power-line?
did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?
a technical check:
connect camera, on, playback, fw-connected...
click on the Blue Apple, upper left of your screen ..
choose 'About../More..
under Firewire.. what do you read..?
Yours Bengt W

Problems with exporting clips from GoPro cam

hi!
I am using PP cs3 and it works fine with DV and HDV. But I am having problems exporting vids from GoPro (spec: http://www.goprocamera.com/index.php?area=2&productid=7). When I render it everything looks fine, but when I export it seems to repeat frames (ex. surfer jumps from surfboard twice)... first few seconds of the exported video works fine, than the repeated frames start to appear and it only gets worse towards the end... so far I got the best results with Quicktime (H.264) but still repeating toward the end...
(gopro from 1.15 to 2.47 @ http://www.vimeo.com/6231114)
I have a laptop, core2duo 2GB, 2gb ddr2 800mhz and nvidia wtih cuda acc., 320gb disk, and everything works fine (maybe a little slow ), even HDV videos from canon A1, I am only having problems with the gopro ... please help...
thanks
Mitja

Received another reply from Gopro support:
"We've heard of compatibility issues in Premiere with the .avi files. One possible way around this is to first save the .avi file as a .mov file using a program such as imovie or quicktime pro. Hopefully this clears up the editing issues for you."
I still haven`t gave up, so I`ve tried exporting in .mov with Sorenson codec and Sorenson 3... works perfektly but now the speed od the clip is increased, so the picture is not tuned with sound anymore . Unfortunately the codecs settings can`t be configured via Premiere...
