Replacing iMovie '10 with iMovie HD 6

I bought a new MacBook Pro last year and have struggled with the new iMovie '10 interface.
I missed the old iMovie HD 6 so much that I did something dumb...I bought iLife '06 just so I can get iMovie HD 6 on my MacBook Pro.
My question is: How do I get iMovie HD 6 on my MacBook Pro without having to install all of iLife '06?
Thanks

I missed the old iMovie HD 6 so much that I did something dumb...I bought iLife '06 just so I can get iMovie HD 6 on my MacBook Pro.
You and thousands of others.
There is no need to permanently delete iMovie 11. You can have both iMovie 06 and iMovie 11.
Make a backup copy of iMovie 11 and store it on an external hard drive.
Delete iMovie 11 from your applications folder.
Install iMovie 06 first, and iMovie 11 second, iMovie 11 knows about iMovie 06 and will move it to a folder called "iMovie - Previous Versions".
Now you have them both, and you can have both in the Dock as well.
You are now UN-STOPPABLE!

How to use iMovie HD with iMovie 08

Ok silly question....
What is the purpose of iMovie HD if I already have iMovie 08?
Can I use them together?
If so, how?
Thanks!

If you look at each programme, you will see they are very different. iMovie 08 is in no way an "upgrade" to iMovie HD6, I think you meant to say.
iMovie HD6 offers greater editing features with a more "pro" style timeline editing format which is superior to iMovie 08, in the eyes of a great many iMovie faithful. If you are a You Tuber, you will find 08 is designed to let you do quick, little movies. Apple was filling a new niche when they created 08, but realized that HD6 was still very popular, so they continue to offer it to purchasers of iLife 08. They can be used together.

Having Trouble Installing iMovie 6 with iMovie 08

A few weeks ago, I had to take my computer into the Apple Store with some issues. They did archive & install but none of my applications were saved, so the only thing left on my HD was pre-installed applications. iLife '08 was there (and I've used all the programs multiple times) but I needed to reinstall iMovie 6. When I opened the pkg file, it tells me "Please install iLife '08 before installing iMovie HD 6."
Does anyone have any ideas why this could be happening?

Welcome to discussions!
Another user had the same problem. he wrote:
+"This last suggestion of trashing the iLife'08 applications and receipts and then performing a reinstall worked. I was able to download iMovie HD 6. Not sure why the preinstalled iLife'08 was not being recognized but the reinstall did work.+
+For those following the thread from the beginning, doing an Archive & Install did fix my new User issue. Now when creating a new User, they have the same hard drive space as everyone else. I did try and download iMovie HD 6 after this step but before the trashing of the preinstalled iLife'08 (as described in the paragraph above) and that did not work.+
+Thank you to everyone that contributed; very much appreciated."+

Is iMovie compatible with iMovie HD?

I have to make a documentary using iMovie. Am I able to use iMovie and iMovie HD, or is it not compatible?

Your question is not quite clear.
If you mean: can a project created in iMovie 6 be used in iMovie 11, the answer may well be no, but much depends on at what stage you are transferring the project.

But that was one of the main reasons buying iPad and iMovie :-(((((

Certain Movies not compatible with iMovie.

I've tried everything with iMovie, and there's nothing wrong with that-in fact, it seems to be a problem with certain movies. And there doesn't seem to be any pattern.
I can use a movie that I've taken from the beginning of a roll, and not use one near the end, however, all of my movies in my iPhoto library can be seen in quicktime.
I can import some movies into iMovie, just not all of them.
I'm rebuilding my thumbnail cache right now. Doesn't seem to be working.

MilaUno:
Maybe you should post your question in the iMovie forum where you're more likely to get a potential solution.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Anyone using 10.5.7 with iMovie 06 and iDVD 08/09

I have iLife 09 and use iMovie 06 (naturally) with iDVD 09 (same as iDVD 08).
Before I get 10.5.7 I was hoping to hear from someone that is using this combination.
Presently, I am having no difficulties with 10.5.6, iMovie 06 and iDVD 09.

You can have both versions of iMovie on the same computer at the same time, but iDVD6 will be replaced by iDVD8/9 (both are the same versions). You cannot have both versions of other iLife apps, only iMovie.
If your new MBP came with iLife 09 installed, you should have been able to install iMovie 6 and have it reside peacefully with iMovie 09. However, I think I recall reading here that you may have to reinstall iM9. Reinstalling it should have put the iMovie 6 app in a folder called 'iMovie Previous version' Once you have the iLife 09 apps reinstalled, you can pull the iM6 app out of that previous-version folder and put in directly into your Applications folder.
iMovie 6 works completely with iDVD 8/9. After you get iMovie 6 back, create a simple test movie with some short DV clips and then open iDVD 8/9, create a new project and try dragging in your iMovie. See how it works.
Post back if you are still having problems.

Will the Pinnacle MovieBox work with iMovie '08?

I am currently using the latest MacBook, and would like to capture my old VHS tapes into iMovie '08 for editing. Is the Pinnacle MovieBox compatible with the MacBook and iMovie '08?

I found the Pinnacle MovieBox grainy, choppy, and low quality.
I did this using iMovie 06 and iDVD 08.
iMovie 06 is a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
I use both iMovie 08 and iMovie 06, if I want to make a DVD I much prefer iMovie 06. iMovie 08 is not as DVD friendly as iMovie 06.
iMovie 08 has replaced "Share to iDVD" with "Share to media browser". Also iMovie 08 cannot set chapter markers, this has to be done with another program.
To get your VHS video into iMovie, look at the Canopus ADVC300. Audio and Video go in, FireWire comes out. It also comes with a nice Macintosh application that works flawlessly with iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 (not sure about iMovie 08).
The program that comes with the ADVC300 has some nice filters that can improve video and audio of the source material. The ADVC300 will take Audio and Video from any source and convert it to FireWire (iMovie will treat it like a camera).

HD camcorders that will work with imovie.

I am considering replacing my old Sony mini DV SD camcorder with a mid quality HD one. I read that there are problems with most of them on the apple website. Does anyone know which memorycard camcorder will work with imovie or do I have to go with an old HD DVtape one? It will be used mainly to video show jumping indoors. There are good discontinued Sony ones still available but I would prefer newer technology and it needs to be reasonably compact and light, but a step up from entry level.

This is a user to user forum. Think of it as asking for help from a neighbor. They will generally help if they can. You can ask your neighbor to borrow a cup of sugar. But don't get mad at your neighbor if they don't have any sugar.
The etiquette here is that generally people do not clutter up a thread with "I don't know" answers. The fact that I don't know doesn't mean that there isn't an answer, and when someone posts that answer, it makes it difficult to find if a bunch of people are chiming in with "I don't know."
If you have a problem that no one knows the answer to, usually the best thing is to contact Apple directly. There is a "Contact Us" link at the bottom right of this page. I don't know what support infrastructure Apple may have in your country, but you can find it at the contact us link.
Good luck.

FCP 6 no longer 'sees' my Sony HDR-HC7. Works perfectly with iMovie HD

I used to be able to capture from and print to my HC7. Setup was saved. Now, FCP doesn't 'see' the camera with the saved settings, or when I try setting it up again from scratch. Camera connection, driver, etc. are good in that the camera works perfectly with IMovie HD. Obviously I've messed something up in FCP, but I can't find it. Suggestions?

Thanks for the response SDIllini, unfortunately when I do go the Disk Utility, my camcorder isn't even show for me to even repair the disk permissions. As monty jr stated, Sony was no help for me either, they also told me that I would need to contact Apple. The problem still remains unsolved though, it's as if the MBP just doesn't recognize the camcorder whatsoever. I'm open to any suggestions, have anymore?

How do I use an external hard drive with iMovie 10.0.1? I have run out of disk space on my Macbook Air.

How do I use an external drive with iMovie 10.0.1? It is not obvious and I have run out of space.

If you want to move a complete iMovie 10 library (file with .imovielibrary extension) click on the library in the libraries pane and select File - Consolidate Library Media. This ensures that all media is copied to the library. You can then move the library onto your external drive using Finder. The first time to want to access it from iMovie you will have to tell it where it is by choosing File - Open Library -Other and navigating to it.
If you only want to transfer part of a library to another drive, create a new library a at the desired location File - Open Library - New and copy projects and events to it from within iMovie.
Its all described in iMovie help - "Work with multiple libraries".

Anyone having a problem with iMovie in Mavericks v 10.9.3 ? when previewing the a slideshow the colors all disappear after the first image.

Anyone having a problem with iDVD in Mavericks 10.9.3? When previewing a slideshow all color is lost after the first image.

Is your problem with iMovie as the title suggests or with iDVD?

I am using IMovie 11 with a new iMac. Unable to import video from a Panasonic PV-GS400 mini-DV camcorder using a Firewire IEEE 1394 400 cable connected to a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter which is then connected to a Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 adapter.

How can I get iMovie to recognize my Panasonic PV-GS400 as a device so I can import video to my iMac? I have a FireWire IEEE 1394 400 cable connected to the camcorder. Since my new iMac has only Thunderbolt ports, I purchased a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter to connect to the cable. I also purchased a FireWire 800 to Thunderbolt adapter to connect to the computer. My camcarder is still not recognized.

I would suggest that you try a 9 pin to 4 pin Firewire Cable along with the Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter.
Those Firewire 400 to 800 adapters do not seem to work well with iMovie.
The 9 pin to 4 pin cables are available at reasonable prices here, for example.

Help on purchasing a dvd camcorder to work with imovie

hello out there...was wondering which camcorder that has a dvd burner works best with imovie and osx...i want a sony, but i thought the small dvd's did not work on osx. presently, i have a digital8 and use a firewire connection to ingest video for editing with imovie. thanks for any help...

... boxes that holds DVD and hard drive recorders:
These files are intended for "one time" captures.
The file format is not intended for editing.
I totally agree with your recommendation: try to avoid DVD and harddisk camcorders at this point if you plan to edit on a Mac. Not only is software support seriously lacking, those Mini-DVDs don't even work with slot-loading drives that are common on Mac's.
But... there is nothing wrong with the MPEG-2 compression used on DVDs. Just look at HDV: It uses the same MPEG-2 compression to fit the the HD video into the space of a SD MiniDV tape. iMovie converts HDV video streams during capture into a format that is easier for editing - that's why the files on your harddisk are 4 times as big as the data on the tape. The quality of video captured by most consumer camcorders is more limited by the optics and the video sensor (in particular indoors, with less than perfect lighting), than the recording format and media. And yes, you can edit MPEG-2 just fine, it is just more challenging to get it working right.
I used to tell all my friends to stay away from DVD camcorders, too, but then broke down and very reluctantly bought a DVD camcorder recently. It's mainly used for recording music lessons, with instant and repeated replay. It took me some tinkering to work out a good workflow for editing with iMove. I did some side-by-side comparisons with a similarly priced MiniDV camcorder (Canon DC50 vs. Sony TRV-33). Overall, the video clips were almost identical from either camcorder, with the DVD camcorder producing slightly better video in some situations. But as I said in the beginning, that is probably mostly a result of the better video sensor and the optical image stabilization in this particular model.
So how does my workflow go:
- Use DVD-RWs, formatted in Video-VR mode, and prefinalized. This allows
you to pop out the DVD from the camcorder at any time and immediately
use it in your DVD player or computer without another time-consuming
finalization step.
- Find a Windows PC to copy the video files from the DVD to my Mac.
Mac OSX cannot read the filesystem used by Video-VR discs without
additional software like Roxio's Toast (which I don't have). Besides, all
my Macs are slot loading.
- Convert the clip with the Quicktime MPEG-2 plugin and MPEG Streamclip
to DV format.
- Finally, import the clips into iMovie.
Workable yes, but neither convenient nor esay. Stick with MiniDV.

How can I export/share a project/movie with iMovie 10(.0.1)?

Hi,
I generate a movie with images from iPhoto and underlaid a sound file. In iMovie the film looks great and now I want to share/export it. But the share button doesn't work: I click on it and nothing happens – no submenu, no window, nothing. It seems there is missing a function behind the menu item.
I closed iMovie, restart it – nothing.
I shut down the Mac and reboot it – nothing.
I deleted the preferences after closing the app and restart it – nothing happens.
What can I do?
This happens with image movies AND with clip movies generated with iMovie.
Thanks for a hint.
CK

Thanks Chris,
I will uninstall the imovie app using the mackeeper uninstaller, but wanted to ask if I trash /delete all the files
when I do this? When it scans my computer it says I have two versions of imovie and other files as well.
Just wanted to check if I will still have my trailer left in my user file on the computer.
Sorry to bug you, but I spent alot of time doing it and dont want to lose the work . So want to be sure I am doing it the right way!
Cheers Graham
