Trying to make imovie incorporating trailer, video and slideshows

i am trying to make a video in iMovie starting with a trailer, then a movie (video clip), then a slideshow, another movie, another slideshow, another movie, then my last slideshow. I burned a copy, but it won't play continuously. I have to keep going back to the menu to choose the next section. How can I set it so it goes from the trailer right into the movie then into the slideshow, etc.....?

i didn't mean to say iMovie. I meant to say iDvd. I have finalized the trailer as an imovie and I have exported the slideshows into itunes and dragged them into my iDvd. They are all there and will burn just fine, I just don't know how to get them to play continuously without my intervention when they burn!!!!

Click on the blue Internet Recovery in nbar's post. That is a link to what computers can run Internet Recovery.
Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

I'm trying to edit a talking head video and want to find an straightforward way to mark a spot at the end of a statement and then cut the clip at that point. Can you help? thanks.

I'm trying to edit a talking head video and want to find an straightforward way to mark a spot at the end of a statement made by the subject and then cut the clip at that point. Can you help? Thanks.

I don't know how to mark a clip the way you want without adding an audio clip and putting in markers and then splitting the clip. You would think that hitting M would be the logical way to do things, but...
But, one can just click before the place one wants to edit, hit the spacebar and hit it again when the exact place is reached. Then go to the clip menu and click split clip. That works, but one really needs to keep the cursor out of both the timeline and the event browser, or the place in the timeline gets changed..
Are you really still using iMovie 08? That drove me nuts...a year later iMovie 09 came out with some needed improvements, and iMovie 11 with its audio adjustments is even better.
Personally, I edit iMovie with kind of a meat axe. I grab whole chunks of video and put it into the project, then edit the ends to get the frame I want. I got too frustrated otherwise.

Trying to make a purchase on itunes and keep getting prompted to verify account information. I've done this and when i click done, it says to fix errors; i repeat the process then it says to contact apple support. Any ideas or other experiences with this? I've had this happen before and it got resolved after i called them and it took a few days, not very convenient. The same thing happened when I was just trying to update my account info with a new billing / account address.
Thanks

1) Make sure that your project is in the same aspect ratio as your camera. If your camera shoots 16:9. make a 16:9 project.
2) Check the clip inspector for the clip in your project to see if Image Stabilization is turned on. Stabilization works by zooming in, so you may want to turn it off.

i am trying to make a calendar in iPhoto and I would like the month to start on Sunday , not Monday. Is that possible and if so how can i do that???? thanks.

What system and iPhoto version are you running? What theme are you using.
All of my calendars do have the month starting on Sunday, Don't know of any way to change it. Where are you located?
How do you have your Calendar application's preferences set to, Sunday or Monday start of week?

Converting and storing videos and slideshows to/in MAC

i am trying to figure out where to store my videos and slideshows (i use Aperture) but before i get there i am noticing that i am getting an error on some of my file types and also that i have a lot of different file types.
does anyone know how to fix this error or why it is coming up?
does anyone know a convenient way to convert these various file types so they are Mac friendly and if so what software and command to use?
i have EPS, PDF, mov, mpg, mp4, m4v and wmv etcetera
ideally i would also like to STORE these in one place if at all possible.
i currently have Aperture and Adobe Bridge.

Database organizational tool for videos and slideshows and movies? (mac)

hi all,
i am a mac user who recently purchase Creative Suites and i am on a long march organizing my files into databases now that the office is set up and i am on Mac. i have one major remaining difficulty i am really hoping someone can steer me in the right direction.
i am trying to see if there is software or a database that would let me organize my videos/slideshows/movies etcetera.
since i have ported to mac from PC i am seeing the following file types in my "video + slideshow" folder: wmv, pdf, 3gp, avi. mov, mp4 and m4v - which is where i have temporarily gathered up all this information. my recollection is that these were either downloaded from the internet, created on some PC software or created using Keynote, Aperture or iPhoto. i am currently using Aperture to store my images.
i am also going to post on the mac forum but if there is an adobe product that does this exceptionally well i would be happy to buy it.
THANKS in advance for any help or advice on this.

hi curt,
thanks. apologies in advance for the long post and slightly off-topic explanation. i am trying to organize things a little better and right now i have way too much data and not enough help organizing it. basically i am trying to move to a database management workflow because there is too much to remember in terms of where my data is. also - it is not LINKED together very well and the workflow to produce the final product is a little disjointed. basically i don't mind using Spotlight to search for files to get it all organized but once i find all my data i would like to get it linked up in a way that is better than dropping it in folders.
can i please ask you how you /use/ bridge then? i mean, right now i am /exporting/ files from my IMAGE database and putting these into folders and then getting these files into the Photoshop (editing), Illustrator (raster work) and InDesign (formatting and linking) workflow. so now i have bulk files that were used to create InDesign posters (for instance). but this means that there is no organizational feedback to my IMAGE DATABASE in Aperture. i simply store the files in there and then i /export/ them to folders. the folders have organized images for each project and they have all the data associated with the project but this does not translate back to my image database unless i were to then go ahead and IMPORT the exported images from these folders and create a /new/ Project for these images which were used in this particular project.
do you know what i mean? i mean i have a database that organizes my images but then i use them external to this database and i am not going to /manually/ go through the database and TAG the images so i know they were used in so and so project. conversely - it seems like it is asking a lot of me to TAG the images before they go out of the database since i am /working/ and to keep track of all the data i am exporting to the desktop on the chance that i may use it - by TAGGING it for the project so that i can tell what was used in this project by looking in the database - just seems unworkable.
i mean, i have thousands and thousands and thousands of images and i have hundreds of projects and i am trying to figure out if there is a slightly better way to keep all this linked together in some way. right now my IMAGE DATABASE is basically divorced from my PROJECT FOLDERS.
i know that sounds off-topic but this also applies to my videos and slideshows and presentations. right now i have IMAGES organized in Aperture and i use these in a slightly more organized way because i am (now) preparing slideshows in Aperture so i have to organize the images in Aperture. but if i create a KEYNOTE presentation i am /exporting/ the images to the desktop, possibly re-arranging them, storing them in a folder and then creating a KEYNOTE presentation.
all of this seems very hinky and there is also the added problem that i have duplicated my images in many cases with some stored in Aperture and some stored on the desktop when i need them for a project.
i was hoping there was some pro that could tell me - "well, what i do is that i store the files in Lightroom, bridge them lets me see them when in am in Photoshop or AI or InDesign, then i OPEN the file from within Photoshop, edit it and Lightroom SAVES THE EDITED FILE and then i go into InDesign and bridge lets me see the files in Lightroom and i LINK THE EDITED FILE to my InDesgin poster and Lightroom automatically stored all the images for this poster in a dedicated folder for this project.
you know what i mean? i mean, if there was some linked aspect to bridge-LR-AI-PS and InDesign that let me avoid all this exporting from Aperture i would be really happy. then if i could store the resulting ID file or Presentation or Video or whatever with some kind of LINK to the original data this would be a huge improvement over here.
THANKS

Trying to create a dvd with video and slides...need help

I am trying to make a dvd that includes video from my sister's wedding but I would also like it to include slideshows that I have already created in iDVD. Her wedding video was taken in to a shop and put onto a DVD. I would like to take the video from that DVD and combine it with my slideshows so that everything is on one disc. Plus, the menus (or lack thereof) from the DVD the shop made are HORRIBLE. Can someone tell me how to do this?
Also, if you could explain how to insert chapters into the video once I have it into iDVD that would be appreciated. They did not include these on the DVD from the shop so it's one long movie with no way of skipping ahead short of fast forwarding.
Thank you very much for any input.
Michael

Hi, Michael,
I did for my daughter's wedding what you are trying to do for your sister's. You can do it this simple way:
I took her wedding DVD and copied some of it onto DV tape and imported that into iMovie where I edited it down to some clips I wanted to go with the still photos I already had.
To copy the DVD footage, I just put the disk into our DVD player, connected my camcorder and recorded it. Yes, there was a slight loss of quality, but not very detectable in the final product. After all, I am not a professional wedding videographer and some of the stills were from inexpensive snapshot cameras.
The final video still turned out well.
I actually did another longer one, this time using the original DV footage from the wedding videographer--he let us have it because he took so long to make the DVD! The DVD I made from that is of course better quality, but not that much better that I would go to more trouble to get it.
