Reconnecting video in iMovie for iPad

I'm having trouble getting iMovie for iPad to reconnect video files.
Recently I edited a fairly large project in iMovie for iPad with video clips all taken from my iPhone 4. I synced the clips to the iPad by going through iTunes and transferring them as a photo Event. From there I was able to work with the media and finish the project, but somewhere along the line I re-synced the iPad with my MacBook, and the Event that contained the media I was working on was taken off the iPad. Obviously, when I re-opened iMovie I noticed this accident by all the little yellow triangles everywhere.
Since then I've tried everything I can think of to get iMovie to recognize the same clips I have since re-synced back into my photos library, but have been unsuccessful.
Any ideas what could be wrong? Or is it, once the media is disconnected the link is gone forever?
Here's the vague and relatively unhelpful quote from Apple's support page in dealing with this problem:
"Resolution
Missing Video clips
If your project contains a video clip that is stored in either of the following locations, moving the video clip from its location causes the yellow triangle to appear:
The Photos app. (A video clip would be stored here if it was synced to your iOS device from a computer).
The Camera Roll. (A video clip would be stored here if it was recorded using the Camera app, if it was imported via the Camera Connection Kit, or if it was moved to the Camera Roll from the iMovie Video Browser)."
You can see how if you move the clips from these locations, the media is disconnected... obviously. But there is apparently no way to reconnect that media, as you can do on the Mac version of iMovie. Actually, iMovie on the Mac will even locate missing media for you. Not the case here.

Yes the video I have imported appears in the photos app

  • I made videos on iMovie for iPad, then I accidentally deleted the app. Can I get the videos back?

    I accidentally deleted the app, which had precious videos on it. Now I don't know where to find the videos, but I want to get them back. How do I do that?

    Hello LaurenJ4,
    It's impossible to delete the App Store on your iPhone.
    Reset your home page: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Page layout.
    Check if the App Store is enabled: Go to Settings > General > Restrictions > Make sure they are "Disabled" or that Installing Apps is "On"

    Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.

  • IMovie for iPad not detecting video shot on iPhone 4

    I recently purchased iMovie for iPad with the hope that I would be able to use video shot on my iPhone 4 but with no luck.. I have about 10 30sec clips and non of them appear in iMovies video "bin"
    Any ideas?

    Hi all
    Found a really cool app called simpltransfer which allows you to transfer photos and video between iDevices!!
    The app has a lite version (which allows you to transfer from within your 1st 50 files listed in your device's camera roll or photo library) for free download.
    S now I can edit away on my iPad ... Soon to be uploaded to YouTube n Facebook for all my friends viewing pleasure!! LOL
    More apps should have lite versions as trials!!! Too often I've paid the $1 or $2 only to be disappointed that the app does not live up to its claims ... Like 100 cameras in 1 for iPad.
    Anyway .. Thanks for all the help!!

  • Photos from DSLR import to 'photos' but pixelate in iMovie for iPad

    Hi,
    I just downloaded iMovie for iPad it seems really great.
    I am trying to make my first project using pictures I have on my iPad that I imported using the camera connection kit from my Nikon D70s- the pictures are all fine and I've viewed them extensively in the photo viewer app, however when I import them and put them in the time line in iMovie they all get heavily pixelated as if the base file were only about 200x200... I have no idea what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    That sounds like a real bug.
    When I put photos from our 5D in to iMovie it has been through iPhoto.
    And I can see it doesn't put the full resolution image into my album.
    Im guessing that they haven't allowed it to take full resolution images; much like the limits of FCP and Motion with different video cards.
    So it probably detects the large image and does a quick resize to a useable size.
    That *****!
    You should tell Apple:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/imovie_iOS.html
    But have you tried opening the photos in PS Express or a photo editing program, and saving them out from there?
    Then they should be smaller I assume,a nd should look fine in iMovie.
    Crappy to have to work around, but better then not being able to use photos; or iPhoto round-tripping.

  • Can imovie for ipad receive audio from wireless headset

    can imovie for ipad receive audio from wireless headset? i have a logitech wireless made for ipad?

    1 - Imovie for iPad is made to work with video shot with an IOS device. You would have to make sure it's compatible
    2 - Export the movie to your camera roll. Connect to computer and import just like you would from any camera.
    3 - it exports an MOV file, h.264 encoding (720P)
    4 - Yes you can export a project and continue to work on it on the Mac, make sure you have the latest version.

  • When using imovie for Ipad, how can I fast forward a project to cut the length down?

    When using imovie for Ipad, how can I fast forward a project to cut the length down to fit under the 15 minutes required for Youtube? My current project is 23 minutes, and need to cut it down below 15 minutes. I was hoping to speed up the video. The content would actually be better viewed in at a faster speed anyhow.

    Jon,
    It sounds like you did, just as you should, Save_As and Delete everything that is unwanted. If you did the Deletion from the Timeline, there should be nothing from the old Project, that should be included. A DVD is Transcoded and burned from the Timeline. If the Assets are not there, they will not included in the DVD, even if you did not Delete anything from the Project Panel.
    Tell us about the Clips now on your Timeline. Also, can you check the Timeline, by hitting the \ (Backslash key), and looking near the end of the Timeline. Do you have any "orphans" out there? Check all Video Tracks, even if you have to scroll to see them all. Does the Duration of the Timeline (viewed in the Program Monitor) match what you think that it should? If not, then you most likely have orphans, that you missed Deleteing.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • IMovie for iPad 2 - importing and exporting

    Hi all,
    I am a brand new iPad 2 user and am looking to edit my home videos using the iMovie iPad app.
    After a bit of research it seems there is a bit of discussion on the ability to add your own video files for iMovie to recognise the format for editing.
    I was just wondering if anyone with recent experience can share if it is possible to do this method without a whole heap of converting and transferring.
    Here are a couple of my other related questions:
    1. Import - how do you import video from a digital camera or video camera to your iPad?
    2. Export - once in iTunes how do I get it on my iMac for playback and sharing? i.e. create DVD, add to USB stick/flash drive.
    3. Export - what video file format does iMovie on the iPad 2 export to?
    4. Export - can I export the iMovie project file from the iPad 2 and then continue to work on it using my iMac?
    Many thanks

  • IMovie for iPad Photo Duration

    Ok, this is driving me mad. I recently downloaded iMovie for iPad and am attempting to create a video consisting of photos and music. Each photo comes in with a duration of 4s and I would like to make each longer to, say, 6-8s. How? I don't want to spend countless hours clicking 75 photos and dragging them to near the desired length. Surely there's a way; if not, make one because this is a no brainer.

  • Which codecs does iMovie for iPad support?

    I have videos from a Canon Powershot camera which are in 1280 × 720, H.264, Linear PCM. I can import these videos to iMovie on iPad but when I open iMovie it does not show the files.
    I have also tried to import the videos via iTunes Movie Sync. I can play the video on the iPad but can not import it to a new project in iMovie.
    Which codecs does iMovie for iPad support? If I can play the movie on iPad, it should be possible to edit it?
    Where do I find the codecs supported by iMovie for iPad?

    iMovie was made to edit video shot on iOS devices; there is no support list, it was made to edit iOS video.
    This allows iMovie to be stable (or should make it stable as the case may be).
    That said, you are importing the video wrong, and may be in luck with your video.
    The File sharing pane is just for importing iMovieiOS projects.
    iMovie cannot edit video in the Movies app.
    iMovie edits video that can be seen in the photos app.
    So you need to import it via the photos tab, as you would photos.
    The other option is using the camera connect kit.
    If you can see the video in the Photos app, it is highly likely that you can edit it.
    But be warned that using non-iOS sourced video can make iMovie very buggy and flakey.
    Avid for iPad is made to edit more formats and might be a better choice if you have trouble.

  • 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.

  • What is the best way to get a tune created in GB for iPad into iMovie for iPad?

    What is the best way to get a tune created in GB for iPad into iMovie for iPad?

    Haven't done it myself, but seems like the correct workflow would be:
    From GarageBand (iOS), My Songs -> select song -> Send to iTunes
    From iMovie HD (iOS), My Project -> Insert Media -> select by song name
    I'm not sure if GB creates its own playlist for tagging exported songs in your iTunes library so selecting by name would be the next-best method.
    Have you tried this?

    Are you actually seeing a noticeable difference in the fonts after conversion? While there are some difference between those fonts, they are very subtle differences and in all likelihood will not really change the look of the document.
