Using a .rcproject file from iMovie 9.0.9 in iMovie 9.0.4?

Is it possible to take an iMovie project and use/edit is on a different computer and an older version?

Yes.
First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
Here is a video I made that steps through this...
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

How can I export a compressed mp4 file from iMovie (mavericks)?

Hello everyone,
I had just downloaded the new version of iMovie.
I'm very amazed to see that the funcion "Export movie with QuickTime" is not available.
I used this funcion to customize parameters of exported videos;
How can now customize parameters? I have to use another external software to produce mp4 files???
Thankyou for answers.
Gianmarco

If you use "Share" and choose 540P, 720P or 1080P it will be mp4, withH264 codec. You just have to once figure out what spefic settings (for example bitrates) are used with the defaults from iMovie 13 (look-up the exported files with info in Quicktime), and wether they are ok with you.
In the former version I already used automator to achieve some specfic settings for my web-video's, now I think I don't need that anymore.
The only way around as far as I know is the usage of QTPro7 or compressor. Export as 1080P and open the file with one of those apps.

I somehow changed a video in my imovie to zero fps, so it just plays black. The video still exists on my desktop but even when I delete the files from imovie and reimport them the file is still in zero fps and play black.

I'm not sure of your question.
Are you asking how to use Photoshop?
Or are you asking for the dimensions of video iMovie uses?
It edits in 720P HD, which is 1280x720.
You can make it a bit bigger so you can zoom in.
Much bigger then this is a waste of time.

Why can't I export a file from imovie

I used to be able to export a file from iMovie to my desktop, but now it doesn't work!

Software Update may have cancelled out your QuickTime PRO license. Did you notice any QuickTime updates when you did the update?
For instance, I have a PRO key for QuickTime 6.5 that was not valid for QuickTime 7 so I had to buy a new one. My first option was to de-install version 7 and go back to 6.5 for the PRO functionality. But later on, that was no longer a viable option since version 7 was the standard for some things, so I just went and paid the $29.99 for the new PRO key.
That could be your problem. Since without a PRO key, you don't have those options available under "expert settings."
I think... (and I've been working heavily with iMovie for years-- never made the jump to Final Cut yet, though have used Motion 2 in addition to iMovie. Works for me. I did get the Studio upgrade, but am waiting to buy a MacBook Pro to use it).

Exporting DV/HD files from iMovie to FCE-different sizes in canvas?

Hi!
Desperately need your help. I have a problem with moving my files from iMovie to FCE to edit. Pre cut in iMovie from both DV and HD files (canon 5D) and moving the project to FCE through XML. When in FCE the files line up with different sizes, the old DV files small, 1/3 of the canvas, the HD files perfect.
Are there any settings which can be changed to fix this?
Another problem I have is when exporting to QT the quality simply is not the same as when I export from iMovie and play on 50" plasma. Why? I have tried all options available.
Hope someone out there has some experience and advise.
Kind regards
Olafur

When in FCE the files line up with different sizes, the old DV files small, 1/3 of the canvas, the HD files perfect.
I assume your Sequence settings are for HD which would be why the SD files are so small in comparison.

How can I use mp4 audio files from my iTunes library in an Elements 10 slide show?

How can I use mp4 audio files from my iTunes library in an Elements 10 slide show?

AAC is Advanced Audio Coding. Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD). More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder). Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button. Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder. After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version." You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding. Hopefully your phone will play that.

How can I delete event files from iMovie to save disk space?

I have been shooting a lot of HD video of my son's soccer games and am now realizing some of the problems with the newer iMovie 10. It appears to not allow for partial video deletion of videos in events (really too bad because previous versions of iMovie did this really well), And, sometimes it will not actually move the deleted file to the Trash to help free up disk space on the computer. This is also a problem because I have to did around in the View in Finder mode to find the events I just deleted in order to move them to the Trash manually. Yeegads! All of this said, what I appear to have happening is a huge amount of video that I never plan to keep (most of a 90 minute soccer game does not make it into highlights -- imagine that?) clogging up my hard drive. My poor computer needs to have a cholesteral check.
Any advice on how to manage large video files 40 minute HD files within (or outside) of iMovie 10 so that I can efficiently eliminate irrelevant content and actually delete files to prevent disk overload would be greatly appreciated. I am thinking about using iMovie 9 to edit down and delete the unwanted footage and then update the files into iMovie 10 for some of its bells and whistles any problems with that?
I must admit, I think iMovie 10 is a failure in certain essential ways. It dropped Keywords, its deletion is not true deletion, and it's all or nothing when deleting an event. I have always been a huge Apple fan, but this new release of iMovie 10 has not been a good user experience for me. I have read a lot of feedback from others with similar problems and issues with iMovie 10 and would really like to understand what Apple plans to do to address some of these defficiencies in what will hopefully be a much better next version.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi PGWilli,
If you are satisfied with 8.0 then you shouldn't need 4.01 at all. As long as all your bookmarks and personal information are in the newer version, go ahead and remove the older version.

Using WindowsDV .avi files in iMovie and iDVD

I'm about to buy a Mac after using PCs for many years. I'm still deciding whether to buy an iMac 20", upgrade the Ram and use an external firewire drive or to get a Mac Pro and use internal drives. Initially I'll use iMovie and iDVD and I have some questions regarding using files I've already created on my PC. Up until now I've mainly been using Ulead Video Studio 10 and Ulead DVD Workshop. DVD Workshop does not do 16:9 menus and has now been discontinued and I've been impressed with iMovie and iDVD when I've seen it in Apple stores.
I have some unedited 16:9 .avi files that I've captured from my Panasonic GS-400 camcorder as well as some already edited .avi and .mpg files. Will iMovie and iDVD recognise .avi DV files when accessed through my network or copied onto the Mac hard drive? I'll load unedited clips into iMovie for editing but anything that's already edited I'd like to put straight into iDVD, add chapters and make a menu etc.
Is this going to work easily or will I have to convert the files to an apple compatible format?
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
Ken
Windows XP Pro

Hi Ken and welcome to Apple!
You should not have a major problem. The AVI files should (repeat should) be recognized by iMovie. If not, conversion should (I love the certainty of that word!) be easy.
An iMac will do all you ask, but I recommend not less that 1GB of RAM.
At this stage, go get your iMac, and try to import the AVI files into iMovie. If that is not successful post back!
Remember: iMovie expects to be 'fed' by digital video through a firewire connection.
Any more questions, we are here to help!

How do I export a file from iMovie that is larger than 15min?

I currently made a video on iMovie that I would like to export. However everything I have tried ends with a message coming from iMovie saying the file is too long. I've heard of exporting to quicktime but in the share option i don't see quicktime. I haven't tried just putting a usb in and seeing if i can come how paste it in but i don't think that will work.
Need this for Valentines Day any suggestions would be great!

So early i tried to convert it into a file first and at first it said it didn't work. Then the file popped up, but i couldn't open it and this message popped up "To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More.". Which was not useful at all. But after a while i guess it completed exporting and i can now access it as a file. Thought I'd share my experience.

Sharing/Exporting files from iMovie?

Is there a way to share/export all the individual clips all at once w/ out iMovie making the file one long movie with all the clips?

iMovie offers no way to export a collection of clips in batch mode, exporting each to a separate file.
Note that dragging a clip from iMovie to the Desktop copies the entire source file to the Desktop, not just the clip. (If the clip is the entire file, of course, that is not a problem.)
FCP should be able to accept iMovie source files, the files created when importing from a camera. (I don't use FCP so I have no experience.) In fact, you should be able to import to iMovie from the camera, open the Media folder inside the iMovie project and import those files directly to FCP without exporting from iMovie.
To look inside the iMovie project, Control-click on the project in the Finder and choose "Show Package Contents".
This must be a Frequently Asked Question in the Final Cut Pro discussion forum. I suggest you check there.

How do you use .wsse policy file from Java Client?

I know how to call a web service by programmatically setting up the security headers as described in:

But how can I do the same thing by simply using a .wsse file?

Using session.xml file from WorkB in a Session Facade based on another xml

Hi
I have the follwing scenario.
Need to read data from a set of tables and convert them into an XML file based on an XSD.
I am planning to use Toplink POJO in JDeveloper to create a SessionFacade to read the values.
I tested the SessionFacade using a client and I was able to read the values correctly.
Based on my xsd, I created a project in Workbench and mapped the classes created earlier, I was able to test this mapping using a test xml data file.
I was able to read the file, Unmarshall it, manipulate it and generate an XML.
Now the question is how do I call this Marshalling from my SessionFacade ?
Since two session.xml files are in different format, I could not copy the content from one file into another.
How do I create a JAXBContext based on a different session.xml?
Thanks
Sambath
Oracle Consulting

Hi Doug,
Thanks for the response. I did the same and I was able to make it work, soon after I posted. I should have updated it :-)
I used two sessions file.
The OXM expected the name of the file to sessions.xml and I have to keep it that way. I created a ormsession.xml using JDeveloper and referred the ORM Project created in the Workbench to use it for ORM . In fact I created a dummy ormsession.xml file in JDeveloper wiht a session named "default". I started by creating an entry manually by copying the contents of the session definition and renamed to "MySession"
Once again thanks for following up
Thanks

Import files into iDVD from iMovie OR export files from iMovie to iDVD?

I've been told it is better to import iMovie projects into iDVD (within iDVD) rather than exporting from iMovie to iDVD within iMovie. I was told that iDVD does a better job of rendering things than iMovie. Is this true because this is not the instructions given in the iMovie tutorial.

Not sure what advice you have been given and how you have interpreted it.
You are of course referring to im6 here since you can't drag projects from im08 to iDVD.
I don't make many DVD's anymore and may well be wrong here but I'm not aware that dragging an im6 project to iDVD is any different than using share/iDVD and I'm wondering if the advice relates to exporting from im6 and then importing the exported movie into iDVD which is indeed a different workflow.

Use resourceBundle properties file from KM

Hi,
I have a properties file called com.mycomp.apps.phonebook.properties in the KM Content of the portal in KM Content => root => mycomp => apps => phonebook => customizing
Now I'm developing a new LinkCommand service for the UserDetails.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/65/29b24053c13f5fe10000000a155106/frameset.htm
The already existing LinkCommand "Send E-mail..." is read from the original resourceBundle com.sap.ip.collaboration.gwui.api.wdf.mail.SendTo
For my new LinkCommand I would like to use the existing properties file. How do I have to define this file in the uicommand xml or properties xml sheet?
Can anybody help me?
With the local project resourceBundle it's working, but I would like to use the file in the KM. Andy ideas?
Regards,
Stefan

Hi Praven,
Copying all existing SendTo properties file to my project would be an option but I wouldn't win anything.
I'm quite happy with the existing SAP collaboraton properties files using e.g. for "Send e-mail".
I won't change this existing ones. I created a new LinkCommand. And for this new LinkCommand I'm looking for a solution how I can handle the translation for it.
I would prefer e using my existing file which is located in the KM. The reason why it's located in the KM is, if I need to change a translation or add a new translation properties file I only need to change it in the KM. If it's a part of the project I need by every change to deploy the project new.

Import video files from iMovie to iMovie 8?

I just installed iMovie 8. I already have videos from my previous version of iMovie. How do I get them into iMovie 8? There seems to be no connection between my files and iMovie 8.

How do I get them into iMovie 8? There seems to be no connection between my files and iMovie 8.
If you are referring to "raw" files for which no iMovie HD timeline exists, then simply open the iMovie HD ptoject package, transfer the "Media" folder to an active "iMovie Events" folder, change the "Media" folder name to an event name you prefer, and open iMovioe '08 to "thumbnail" the new files. If you don't plan to do any editing of the iMovie HD project, you can then delete the iMovie HD project version.
