Is there a way to transfer od movies made on Imovie 2 to Imovie HD?

is there a way to transfer od movies made on Imovie 2 to Imovie HD?

The QuickTime movie Silly Rabbit mentioned is an easy way to import an old project to iMovie 6, but unfortunately that feature wasn't added until iMovie 3. There's no such movie in iMovie 2 to import.
If you have iMovie 2 on this computer, a very reliable way to bring the project into iMovie 6 is to export it from iMovie 2 to your video camera, then import from the camera to a new iMovie 6 project. The clips will arrive as clips, but they won't be editable as before. You won't be able to edit titles, for example.
The easiest way — when it works — is to simply open (a copy of) the iMovie 2 project in iMovie 6. iMovie 6 will offer to convert it. It usually converts without a hitch, unless your iMovie 2 project has non-standard iMovie 2 features like third-party titles, transitions and special effects. iMovie 6 may have trouble with those. You can't go back, so convert a COPY, not the original.
I'd try the conversion first. If it works, you're home free. Keep the iMovie 2 project around until you're sure.
Suggestion: please provide a bit more information in your user profile. "IMAC" doesn't tell us much, there are so many different models.

Importing a 16:9 FCE movie converts to 4:3--help

I have just finished a DV 16:9 NTCS FCE project and I have been working on a 16:9 iDVD 6 project to house the movie. But, when I import the FCE movie, after exporting Using Quicktime (not Quicktime Conversion), and add to the DVD project it is squished to 4:3. I have read several posts about this issue but I am still a little confused. Is there any way to keep the 16:9 aspect ratio in iDVD? If not, is there anything I can do to make a DVD with my 16:9 footage without it getting squished into 4:3? Please, any help is greatly appreciated.

have a quick question about Anamorphicizer. What does the final film look like on a 4:3 screen?
The Anamorphicizer makes a anamorphic 16:9 DV movie with the appropriate tag as if it came from an iMovie 16:9 DV project.
What is important is how does iDVD and your DVD player treat that movie when it is played on a 4:3 TV set.
95%+ of the time, it is letterboxed. iDVD sets the "flag" for 16:9 content, and allows your DVD player to choose letterboxing or pan-n-scan. Most people choose letterboxing on their DVD players, so it plays fine. Many commercial 16:9 DVDs force letterboxing. If if looks cropped instead of letterboxed, check your DVD player settings.
There is a way to edit DVD images and force letterboxing, but with the current settings in iDVD6 I don't bother. If you use a 16:9 theme, however, make sure your buttons, etc., fit in the standard 4:3 portion, as iDVD sets the menus only to pan-n-scan, which crops the image instead.
If you really want to dig in deeper look here:

PS- did you "uncheck" "Automatic DV Pillarboxing and Letterboxing" in your iMovie import preferences before importing the FCE movie into an iMovie 16:9 DV project?

Since IOS8 and iMovie 10.0.5, using Theater, I cannot transfer my movie to my iPad. iPad does not see the movie via iCloud. What other ways can I transfer my movie from my iMac to my iPad?

Before installing iOS8 on my iPad, and also updating to iMovie 2.1; and installing the Maverick on my iMac, new movies I make on the iMac and load into Theater do not come over to my iPad. This seems to be due to a new Yosemite OS no yet released. What are a couple of other ways I can transfer my movie to my iPad? I am out of ideas.

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
Audiobooks (and ringtones) are currently a one-time only download. I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them who are requiring the one-time only download restriction. To get it onto your other devices you will need to sync it via a computer. Depending upon what country that you are in, Audible.com have their own app (Audiobooks from Audible) so you might be able to buy direct from them, though I don't know whether you can buy within their app or download audiobooks directly from them within the app e.g. whether they need to be copied via a computer.

Advantages of FCE HD over iMovie HD (with Sony HDR HC3)?

Hi!
I'm new to the digital Video world. Sadly I'm always a bit crazy and thought to buy a camera which will be a bit more future proof and decided to go for a Sony HDR HC3. I was using iMovie 6 HD with it and can import movies fine (ok not full speed on my 2Ghz iMac G5 but I can live with that), I can cut them but I can't realy render them as normal movies out of iMovie. Actually I can't do anything with them it always turns out to be a very bad jerky output format. So reading the iMovie forum, it seems thats normal behavior. People say it needs to be sent back on camera tape and get it converted by the camera to DV and then use it. Actually importing DV and then writing a DVD or encoding it to an other fileformat really works well.
So my question is, can FCE HD handle HDV better? Like export it to normal DVD? Meaning like rendering the 1440 x 1080 interlaced to the DVD non interlaced resolution?
iMovie shows me the Project is 1080i-25 (yes I'm using PAL). So I asume it merges the two half pictures to one 1080 and that results in 25 frames/sec...
Any experiance with FCE and Sony HC3 here? Roughly 300 Euros/$300 is a bit too much to buy it and it turns out to be not much of a difference then iMovie (for exporting and handling HDV).
Thanks for your help and feedback!
Holger

Hi!
The reason why I ask is some weired behavior I have with IMovie 6 HD/Quicktime 7 on the latest Tiger release:
I can import HDV from my Sony HC3 perfectly, and also export every unedited material to the camera perfectly. But when the HD material needs to recoded for use on DVD or as quicktime movie or just when you add titles effects etc. Output is getting very jerky.
To test I did the following. I recorded a 360 degrees turn in a room in HDV. It shows perfectly smooth on the camera screen when playbacked, smooth on TV etc. Smooth means as you see it when turning your head..
So now I import it in HDV into iMovie. If i take the unedited film and want it to export it to any other format like DVD or an MPEG4 movie, things get jerky, the 360 degrees turn doesn't look nice anymore.
I read in other forums, that thats in issue with HDV and you should let the camera convert it to DV, so the cuted material needs to be transfered back to the camera, and then let it convert it to DV.
OK, so if I import HDV converted by the camera to DV its perfectly smooth, also on DVD on quicktime movies etc.
When I import HDV in iMovie, and put a title text in the movie for like 10 secs out of the 20. iMovie will split the clip to two 10 sec ones and render the text in the first block. If I record it back as HDV on the camera tape and then reimport it with beeing converted as DV the following happens:
The first 10 secs with the title are jerky, the second 10 secs are smooth as before.
This needs to be related with the IMovie/Quicktime encoding, not with the camera (I have two of it to see if its not the hardware). So I'm really thinking It's either an iMovie problem an Quicktime problem or both together...
So if FCE would handle the rendering process different... It would be worth to get it...
Any ideas?

I need to work on an iMovie I already started on one Mac, but want to finish it on my new Mac. How can I transfer the movie and not lose any formatting?

What do I do?

Hi
You need an external hard disk to do this.
(No I don't think USB-memory will do)
• Should be a FireWire one (as USB/USB2 performs badly to me)
• MUST BE - Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange will not work for VIDEO
All moving of Projects and Events - MUST be done Within iMovie application - NOT on DeskTop/Finder (else a great risk that iMovie loses track of them and You get a project that do not work OK)
• In iMovie Project window - Move over Project over to the New External Hard Disk - And it will ask if You want a Copy (I would)
• If Event's is not moved - Then in Events window - move the needed ones over too
Now - If You used Photos and Audio from iPhoto or iTunes or from folder on Mac - then copy this over too. So that You've got all needed material copied to tne new ext. HD.
Then connect it to Your other Mac and move things wher You want them to be.
Yours Bengt W

How to transfer movie from iPhone iMOVIE

I have a bit serous problem.
I have deleted all videos from my iPhone several months ago and now I have found out, that I need to copy some deleted videos from iPhone iMovie.
The problem is that there is no possibility to export movies from my iMovie projects - because they do not exist, but the project itself is playable n my iPhonoe. It seams that there have to be physically a movie file on my iPhone.
Exist any way how to find and copy this movie from the iphone iMovie project?
thank you

How do I produce the highest quality DVD from MOV exported from iMovie

What is the best method in iDVD11 for burning to DVD, an imported HD 720p or HD 1080p MOV file exported from iMovie11?
I have successfully exported a 5.5GB (66min) HD 720p MOV file from iMovie. I then used iDVD to import this MOV file and burn it to DVD. When I played the DVD the quality was nowhere near that of the imported HD 720p MOV file as played on QuickTime. The DVD also shows captions at the edge of the 16:9 TV screen instead of further inside as per the QuickTime screening of the HD 720p MOV file.
How can I improve quality and maintain borders in iDVD for the DVD output?

Hi
How can I improve quality and maintain borders in iDVD for the DVD output?
Quality.
• Use iMovie up to HD6 or FinalCut - as iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - just delivers every second line to iDVD = less resolution
• There are no HD-DVD in real life - DVD is as standard SD-Video
• If You must use iMovie'11 then do not use "Share to iDVD" BUT "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (Not HD or other resolution - as result will suffers)
Border
• May be turning on TV-Safe area in iDVD can help a bit. ?
• If this is IMPORTANT - Then You have to re-do Your movie in FinalCut and here turn on TV-Safe area and shrink the movie area to within this. Now it will show all on an old CRT-TV - but with a black frame due to that no two CRT-TVs show exactly the same area and then TV-Safe must be less than this.
My - Un-specific notes on DVD-Quality. If You are interested.
DVD quality
1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (vers 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
About double on DL DVDs.
2.Video from
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no QT-conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly eg x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc).
5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW)
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
8. Don’t burn more than three DVD at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
• DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
deliver anything better that this.
HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-layer.
Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
_ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl BD-component
_ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
_ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
The BD-encoded DVDs can be playbacked IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
• Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
• Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are playbacked by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
(x4 by some and may be even better)
2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
Region codes.
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
1 = US
2 = EU

What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
• Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
• No other programs running in BackGround eg EnergySaver
• Don’t let HD spinn down or be turned off (in EnergySave)
• Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
• Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
• Set screensaver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show

Transferring video from laptop to iPad over wi-fi is quite slow. It is much faster to do it with the iPad's USB cable.
If you are transferring videos to a 3rd party video app, follow these steps (wi-fi or cable);
1. Open iTunes on the laptop.
2. Select the iPad in the Devices list in iTunes.
3. Go to the Apps pane for the iPad in iTunes.
4. Scroll to the bottom of the pane and find the video app in the File Sharing list.
5. Press the Add button and then browse to the location of your videos on the laptop.
6. Choose the file(s) that you wish to transfer to the laptop.

I have an iphone 4 and downloaded my first movie (hd) onto my PC (windows 7) I have not been able to figure out how to transfer the move to my iphone. The movie is in a new tab called "rented" not under the "movie" tab.

I have an iphone 4 and downloaded my first movie (hd) onto my PC (windows 7) I have not been able to figure out how to transfer the move to my iphone. The movie is in a new tab called "rented" not under the "movie" tab. All of the support I have read talks about the movie being in the "movies" tab. I cannot use the "move" function or the "transfer" function because they are not available. Is this an issue because I just updated to the newest software?

In order to download to your phone over the air, you need to be connected to WiFi.
It's possible the Internet connection through Verizon is not stable enough for the downlaod to begin (it is a very large download).
You might want to head over to Starbucks with your laptop for the afternoon and see if you can download it over their WiFi.

I need to know how I can transfer my movies on my pc before I update my ipad

I need help with my iPad by transferring movies to my pc without losing them so I can update my iPad to IOS 5.

I have the same question except it is more complicated. I have some movies in my ipad2 (in the Videos section) that I did not capture with the ipad but rather had synced it over from my sister's iphone. they are home videos that i would hate to lose. is there any way - with a 3rd party app perhaps? to transfer these videos over to my pc (win 7) before I update to OS5?

Converting VOB movie files for iMovie 09

I would like to import movie files into iMovie 09 which are in the VOB format. How do I convert the files to a format for iMovie 09?

I purchased this Mac two days ago. For a work application I purchased this camera 1 week ago. When I bought the camera I asked the vendor if software came with the camera that would allow me to load the videos onto the computer but when I received the camera no software was included and no one from Canon or the camera vendor would help. I had a Canon DC 330 that came with the software last year but someone from my company made off with it. Another story another day.
I've used PC's for years but I've been wanting to try a Mac anyway so I went into the Apple store with a VOB file that the PC would not read. It took a little fussing but the tech loaded the VOB file directly from the 3" DVD (took a few minutes to find a machine that read the DVD) into iMovie. Worked real slick so I walked out with a new Mac. I knew there would be a significant learning curve but nothing ventured nothing gained.
The Apple Store is over an hours drive one way but I suppose I'll have to go back and see if I can figure this out. Not an issue, just time consuming.
Anyway suggestions would be most appreciated. I will try the tip found on this post but any steps I can save would be great.
