Transitions in imovie 6.0.3 using imac 10.4.8

I am creating short imovies with combinations of scanned photos, images from my digital camera and images from a digital video camera. With about 30 or 40 items in the time line I wish to place transitions between them. When I do this however I have success with about 50 % of the transitions.
Flaws manifest themselves in various forms depending on the type of transition and whether I attempt to place 1 or more transitions simultaneously. If I attempt to place just one overlap transition between two items, imovie simply and consistantly quits. If I attempt to place several overlap transitions simultaneously I get black transitions (rendering occurs suspiciously quick i.e. there is no rendering). With any other transition whether single or multiple the transition works great up until the last 100th of the transition where it is black. In playback this appears as an annoying flash.
Again these flaws occur with just a select number of images in the time line but they happen consistantly and predictably (these flaws do not seem random)
Any suggestions?

Hello,
Welcome to the discussions. There have been some transition problems reported, although maybe not so many problems as you are experiencing.
I had the black/flash with the transition cross-dissolve in one of my movies recently. I found the suggestions in this thread to resolve that: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3842119#3842119
Have a look and see if it can help you.

I have an iMac about a year old. It has OSX 10.8.3 with iMovie 9.0.8. Is there a way to get iMovie to store and use iMovie Events on an external drive? Raw video is eating up my 1TB internal drive.

Yes, you can import to an external drive by choosing it from the Import Screen.
Once an Event or Project is in iMovie, it is best to move it to the external using iMovie, so the Project does not lose links to the Event.
For full instructions on how to do this, see this link.

Using IMAC 27 (LATE 2009 ) as primary display for MAC PRO PRO 2013

I have been a user of IMAC & Macbook but not mac PRO.
I wish to upgrade to MAC PRO ( 2013 ). As i want to make the transition less costly i want to use my current IMAC 27in ( LATE 2009 ) as the one and only display.
First question . Is the above possible with MAC PRO ?
Second question related - When using the above option eg MAC PRO as main system and 27in IMAC as display. Will the hard drive and on the IMAC be possible to go in to sleep mode. I would be concious about power consumption and the life expentancy of the constant use of the HARD DRIVE on the IMAC.
I would like to be able to keep the hard drive on the IMAC off or at least in sleep mode.

Where do I get a map transition like iMovie, in which I can put a destination city

Tom
I want you to know, Tom, that you are your only reason that I'm still using FCP X and not banging my head against the wall. I hope Apple is compensating you well.
What do you mean by "export it and import it into FCP?" Neither program has an export feature. I have already imported my iMovie project to FCP X with the map and it didn't come over correctly. Where the map should be there is simply a slide saying, "title & subtitle."

Is it possible to transfer iMOVIE 11 projects between my iMac and iPad2 so that I can work on projects when I'm away from home?

ARD is totally unnecessary and inapplicable for your scenario. ARD is a Mac OS X application for managing other Macs and is not useful if you want to connect to a Mac from some other OS. Mac OS X has a VNC client build int, so VNC, or one of the number of other remote control solutions - LogMeIn, for instance, if they offer a Linux version - is where you want to be looking.

The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able toauthorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.

Do transitions work if PIP is being used?

I'm just starting to use iMovie '11 for the very first time. I've got a PIP situation where I want the main video timeline to cut using transitions while the PIP element sits bottom right, but the transitions I've placed into in the main timeline under the PIP are all greyed out and won't show when I run the timeline by hitting spacebar. Is this because you have to render the whole movie to see how those transitions will work, or do transitions not work at all while using PIP?

Transitions will not work while using PIP.

How do I convert old work done with iMovie HD 6 to view/work with iMovie 11 on my new iMac?

How do I convert old work done with iMovie HD 6 to view and work with in iMovie 11 on my new iMac?

If you still have your iMovie 6 project, you can import it using FILE/IMPORT/iMovieHD Project.
If all you have is the finished movie, you can FILE/IMPORT MOVIE.
If your movie is in DV Stream format, it is advisable to convert it to QuickTime MOV container containing DV codec. Otherwise, the import will be chronological by the date and time the clip was shot, rather than in edited order.

Any way to get iMovie '04 onto my new iMac ?

I loved iMovie '04. I hate every iMovie thereafter. I still have my iLife '04 disk and have tried to install iMovie '04 onto my new iMac without success. I get a message that says it is no longer supported. Is there any possible way to get my iMovie '04 back? If not, are there any video making aps available that are similar to the iMovie '04? I really don't need anything as 'meaty' as Final Cut Pro or as expensive. I just want my old iMovie back. Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
Thanks ~

I believe I said there is a workaround for FCE 3......
As for iMovie, I have and use iMovie HD - but I only have the .dmg download (v. 6.04) that Apple offered for dissatisfied iMovie 08 owners.
However, one could try to install a retail iMovie HD from an iLife 06 disk (might find one on ebay) and it may or may not be automatically updated by Software Update. One would have to make sure NOT to have a later version of iMovie installed at that point. Since I've had no problem with the .dmg, I'd assume the installer is Intel.
As for the install of the v. 6.04 .dmg: it requires that iLife/iMovie 08 be installed first. Then, install the .dmg; after that, run Software Update. If desired, can then install newer versions of iLife - any subsequent iMovie version installer should move the iMovie HD into a "previous version" folder and install the newer version in addition. However, I do not know if that works with a fresh v. 6 install - it does with the .dmg install - it may or may not remove the iMovie HD (the .dmg was configured specifically to work in addition to a newer version).

How can I fix this problem? I have tried the apps BURN and DVD Creator for MAC. I need to finish this DVD asap and becoming more and more frustrated. Why would Apple give us iMovie and not provide us an app to burn it to a DVD and / or take away the iDVD?

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

Im trying to bring a movie from imovie to a pc using a flash drive, but the movie file (.mov) will not play on a pc. help!

I would like to offer you some additional hair, but I've pulled mine out as well. I have created a slideshow of my daughter's new house (a very nice place indeed) as a house-warming gift, took all the pix myself with a throw-away camera made into CD's, imported all of the photos, cropped and enhanced with Iaza online free photo editor, re-saved the new ones to a folder, imported the selected ones into iPhoto, had the best thematic photo printed in 8x10 format, bought the black DVD's, made the MPEG-4 movie as well as the suggested exportable to iPhone, created a folder with the slides, crafted a nice playlist in iTunes, merged it all in iPhoto, but cannot successfuly export it into iDVD. The technical documentation and writing for some of this stuff is sloppy and sometimes unintelligible. The instructional videos are incomplete. The One-on-One fellow was most helpful the other day and said Apple doesn't really have or support an functional DVD creation tool and suggested I choose one or another "app" at the "app store", but the reviews for the two major ones are shallow in depth and I haven't yet sprunf for the $20-$40 download so I can re-experience the difficult learning curve. The Macintoshs I once used were incredibly intuitive; the iMac requires some study. The slideshow I have is imperfect becauae it keeps reverting to custom slide-specific choices I have decided (several times) that I do not want, but it keeps slipping back into "Ken Burns" mode and some of the photos don't work in that mode because of their format. But I will settle for less-than-perfect if I can figure out the best way to export the MPEG-4 I have created into a Maxell DVD-R some time before my daughter's toddlers aged 4 and 2 get into kindergarten.

Are there more transitions in imovie 11

are there more transitions in imovie 11

I like to speak of iM-a and iM-b, vers≤6 and iM08/09/11 .. iM-b is from ground new, internally using a complete diff. technique to create titles, effects, transitions ...-
and, yes, due to the new 'Trailers' and 'Themes' there are a few, handful of new transitions - but more doesn't automatically mean better. (compare to any Hollywood movie: cross-fades, fade to black and ...?)
iM11 is great, for 14€ (at AppStore) worth every penny!

How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac?

How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac? I started some projects on my MacBook Pro but would rather have the larger working area provided on the iMac large 27 inch screen.

Hi there rainyri!
The easiest way for you to do this is to transfer the information to an external drive as an intermediary, then transfer the information from your drive to the internal drive on your iMac. We have an article that explains the steps for doing this, and it can be found here:
