Using iMovie '08 on an iMac G5 with the new Canon and Panasonic cameras???

Once you get an HD component, you want to rapidly upgrade the rest of your system to HD. My question- which of the recently announced Panasonic and Canon cameras with 1080i or 1080p(24) can I use with iMovie 08 on an iMacG5? Do these new flash-based cameras have any ability to support nonAVCHD which isn't good for sports.

I have had good results recording football games in AVCHD, but you may not consider it acceptable.
A G5 is on the lower borderline of acceptable hardware for iMovie 08, so you should expect long importing and processing times.
AVCHD in iMovie requires an intel processor for importing. There may be a workaround by using third party software called "Voltaic". Do a search on these forums to find posts from people who use this.
Here is a sample of a AVCHD movie of a football game recorded on a Panasonic HDC-SD5 using 1920x1080. This version is in the medium setting for WebGallery.

  • Creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i  camera in iMovie 9.0.9.

    Help needed creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i  camera in iMovie 9.0.9.  The project is done and looks good...I need help understanding what settings need to be set so I can make a QuickTime movie in the highest quality that would fit the ratio of 16.9 to be sent out to my YouTube page.  I played around with some of the settings and have not come with the right setting for the video.  I want the highest quality with the lowest amount of megabytes…thanks

    I would suggest using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and choose 1920x1080 (if your source material supports this).
    That should work well in YouTube.
    If you want to go further with custom QuickTime settings,  here are some that should work, but in my experience, it will be no better than using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE.
    follow the instructions below to create a .mov video that will work on YouTube:
    In iMovie, select Share > Export Using QuickTime
    Next, you may want to check your Options to verify that the following settings are correct:Video settings
    Compression Type: H.264
    Frame Rate: 30 is preferred. 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97 are also acceptable.
    Data Rate: Automatic
    Key Frames: Automatic
    Frame Reordering: Unchecked
    Audio/Sound settings
    Format: AAC
    Click Show advanced settings and choose Constant Bit Rate as encoding strategy
    Other settings
    Size: Choose the original size of the video
    “Prepare for Internet Streaming”: Fast Start

  • I am trying to save a document with the new pages and it will only save as a zip file any ideas on how to change this?

    I am trying to save a document with the new Pages and it is only saving as a ZIP file anyone know how to fix this or choose a different file type?

    Take a look at the FileSelector
    First make sure the FileSelector is expanded so you can see the directory and sidebar. That's what the little disclosure triangle up by the filename is for. Once the FS has been expanded to look like the above picture, look to see what subdirectory has been selected. Use the SideBar to select an appropriate one.

  • My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?

    You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
    iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year.  It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you.  Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

  • How do i mail merge with the new Pages and Numbers?

    How do I mail merge with the new Pages and Numbers?
    On Pages 09 I have a document that draws variable data from a spreadsheet created in Numbers.
    With the new Pages and Numbers program update, my links are lost and I am unable to see how to correct this.

    Thanks Peter,
    very disappointing.
    My Pages 09 keeps opening in the new one.
    I dont think they want me to be a loyal customer anymore.
    They changed Final Cut Pro, so now I use Premier Pro
    Aperture 3 has been left behind so now I moved to Lightroom 4.
    And now Pages 5 does not have a vital component, so back to Word.
    Sad day
    Thanks again

  • IPod updates 2 touch with the new software, and from the update they are not connected with Time phase. They appear calling but never they enter the calls. I make calls with other users and if one connects but in these two not from the update

    I use Firefox 95% of the time, and there's no problem with flash content (and I'm still at .55 - downloaded .64 last week but I haven't got round to making the change yet). At the rate they've been changing it recently it may well be out of date already .
    I've been trying it in Safari, too with no problems apart from You Tube, but that's because I'm blocking Google cookies.
    One thought does occur - if your Flash preferences are set to block all Local Storage, it may be that the problem site is trying to use Flash cookies (LSOs). I had this problem recently with the BBC iPlayer streaming content. Little Snitch notified an attempt to connect to a new URL - emp.bbci.co.uk.
    If I disallowed it, no streaming; when I allowed the connection, it still wouldn't stream, so I did a bit of digging and came to the conclusion that it was trying to set a Flash cookie. When I unblocked, lo and behold - streaming resumed as normal.
    I now have LSOs blocked in a more subtle way that lets the site think it's being set (but it ain't) and the streaming still works.
    As for permissions repair - always repair from local; the permissions on the original disc will have been superceded by updates and new installations of Apple software.
    DU needs to be reading the packages on the HD, not the (now out of date) install disc.
    The recurring repair messages are normal and don't mean anything's wrong. As long as the final message is 'repair complete' there's no need to dwell on it.

  • HT202879 I downloaded the new version of pages about a month ago.  Today I tried to open documents that I created and saved with the new version and received a message that I needed to download the new version.  The app store shows the download.  HUH?!?

    I'm not sure what you mean by it making accessing files more complicated. I have both Pages 4.3 & Pages 5.1 icons in my Dock as well as Numbers 2.3 & Numbers 3.1. I continue to use the iWork '09 versions for my everyday needs. As long as the new versions are in your Applications folder & the '09 versions in the iWork '09 folder, Software Update will not have a problem updating them even if Apple should come out with a new update for the '09 versions.
    Because I have moved the new versions to an external drive & renamed the apps because I want '09 to be the default apps, I do have to remember to move them back to my applications folder & restore the original names before updating. But since you like the new versions this "complication" doesn't apply to you.

  • Anyone have no service pop up with the new update and stay like that?

    Anyone have no service pop up with the new update and stay like that

    Try a Reset holding the Sleep button and the Home button together until Apple logo shows up and then wait for the Reset to return you to the lock-screen.   If you still don't have service check Settings>General>About and then scroll down to Carrier and see if your Service Provider is listed.

  • HT4623 My Iphone 4 is locked with the plug in icon and will not go away. My computer is not recognizing the device. I have tried to reboot it but it's frozen. I was updating it to the new software and it came up with an error and said it couldn't update

    I was updating my Iphone 4 with the new software and while it was doing the download and update, an error window appeared and it said it couldn't update and now my phone is frozen with the plug in icon. I have tried to reboot it, pushing the power button and the home button and nothing is working

    Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes.

    I'm trying to update my iphone4 with the new iOS6 and in the middle of udating it gave my an error 35, and I would like to figure this out so I can download the apps i need?

    What version do you currently have?
    If you have iOS 5.0 or later, do not update through iTunes if possible; update over Wi-Fi if you have it. Just go to Settings > General > Software Update.
