Using imovie cannot change to av capture session preset photo preset

Using the iMovie app when we try to take video for the movie, pushing the start movie button stops the app.

I have the same exact camera and the same issue. It is very disheartening to me that there does not appear to be a working solution posted for this issue...what gives? JVC promotes this camera as tailor made for FCP and Apple even sells it for that purpose on their site. Yet no one can tell us how to get the files from the card into FCP? I am attempting this via a card reader that appears on the desktop but the files are never ever recognized - AHHHH! I was soooo hoping that my transition from Premiere Pro to FCP would be smooth, I researched all my options, bought what I thought was the ideal camera and here I sit once again spending time on discussion boards instead of getting work done. Great!

  • Can I use Organizer to change the .jpg size of all photos in a folder in one batch process?

    We're using wa-a-ay too much disk space for a growing photo collection.   My daughter is a camera freak with four kids -- need I say more? 
    In my current test folder the sizes of the original photos range from 2.3 MB to 4.2 MB.  I picked one photo at random and printed the original and then three more, saved by PSE9 as .jpg files at maximum, middle, and minimum quality settings on plain letter-size paper, and again on 4x6 photo paper.  It takes a magnifying glass and a calibrated eyeball to detect a difference on the plain paper, and it's even more difficult on the photo paper.  I think I should relieve the pressure on the hard drive's capacity by reducing everything to a more reasonable size; after all, the minimum-quality print takes up less than one percent of the disk space as does the maximum-quality print.
    I have a hunch that I can accomplish this in a batch process with Organizer, but that's all I have is the hunch -- not the know-how.   I would like someone to step me through the process.
    I also expect a lecture on why I shouldn't do this.  Go for it; I'll listen.
    Thanks,  Bud

    You are the one to judge... Will you regret it if you want to use some pictures with the original size and resolution at a later time?
    Yes, you can use either the organizer or the 'process multiple files' command of the editor. But first you should think about two questions:
    - Are you ready to backup the full resolution and size files before the 'shrinking'? External USB drives with big capacities are available and affordable.
    - From what you are saying, the optimal size would be for files resized for 4" x 6" format at 300 ppi in jpeg quality 8 to 10.
    Resizing from the Editor: Use the 'process multiple files' command and click the 'Same as source' button. I would not do it without a sound backup first... This can be done folder by folder.
    Resizing from the Organizer : Use the 'Export' command. That command leaves the original and puts the resulting files in a new folder. The resulting files are NOT included in the catalog.This means that keeping your organization (categories, albums, tags...) will be tricky; same if you are using a folder organization system.
    Another solution with a third party software such as Faststone photo resizer:
    - Absolutely do a full backup before
    - run the resizing options in the external software so that the files are resized without being moved. That replaces the originals.
    - If you are using the organizer, your organization will be kept, but the file sizes in the catalog and thumbnail databases will be wrong. You can regenerate the thumbnail cache by deleting the thumbs.5.cache file in your catalog folder; it will be automatically rebuilt.
    That has worked for me in the past... no guarantee for you!

  • Can I use imovie to make a movie by first making a soundtrack and then adding video clips to illustrate the sound track?

    I want to make a movie using imovie 11.
    I want to import still photos taken from the inet and import video clips of myself over the stills. I also want this movei to illustrate a soundtrack of my singing with a karaoke file.
    Is this possible?
    How would I get my voice singing with the itune song so my singing and the itune become one track?
    Then could I use that soundtrack to build the movie, rather than start with video an add soundtrack?
    This is an ambitions project.
    HELP!

    Hi
    This is a No and Yes question.
    No You can not add Audio first in any iMovie from iMovie'08 (version 7.0.x) and onwards. You need to use FinalCut Pro X to do this - Where it's rather straight forward.
    Yes - it is a bit tedious but can be faked in iMovie - by first creating a Black .jpg photo. Add this to TimeLine in iMovie as many times (and at max duration) to reserve the time the movie will use. Then add Your Audo track. Then add Your photo and videosequences. There are a function in iMovie that let's You replace the original video with the one You want to insert - "Cutaway" - Then continue till all Black parts are replaced. Movie done !
    But really - take a look at FinalCut where this is much easier.

  • Using iMovie 11 in MacBook Pro and my photos are duplicating

    I am using iMovies 11 in MacBook Pro. I dragged photos from one particular event, now I am trying to drag a couple more photos into this same Movie Project from a different event, but every time I drag and drop, it is duplicating the very last photo that was originally there from the first event and only showing that last photo from the first event instead of the new photos I dragged in.  How can I correct this?

  • I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them to upload to youtube but it won't let me import them.

    I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them so i can upload them to youtube but it won't let me import them, even after changeing them to MP4 format, it just comes up with the message: "No Importable Files None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again."
    Ive even tried opening in itunes and copying from thier but they wont open in Itunes, no message or anything they simple just dont open. its strange because it does open in quicktime player.
    please if anyone has any ideas that can help me please let me know XD thanks.

    First problem: You're fine. The hotter it gets, the more the fans spin up. The computer is designed so that at max load, at max fan speed, it won't overheat (unless it's obstructed by something, e.g. sitting on your bed swallowed by a comforter). It's not the best thing to keep it that toasty for days at a time, but a couple hours at a time shouldn't be a problem.
    Second problem: If something in the trash won't delete, just use Secure Empty Trash and it should be fine. Since .torrent files are quite small, it should only take a couple seconds.

  • Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him mine. Want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address.

    Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him my 4s. We want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address on 4s iPhone. Also, when I tried to change iMessage I got a message that if I deleted my id (which seemed to be the only way to get my husband's I'd there), I would not be able to receive iMessages on any device.
    Would someone kindly tell me how to set up th 4s for my husband so that we can keep our info separate? It would be most appreciated! Thanks!!

    Hey Fagen!
    You will want to see the following article for guidance on achieving the result you wish to achieve:
    What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
    I would just follow the instructions from this article to give your unused 4s to your spouse. Since you have already started using your 5s, you will still be receiving iMessages on that phone and will have no need to receive them on a device that has been replaced. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • Using iMove HD to capture in Mpeg-4 format

    I have iMovie HD 5.0.2 and was wondering if there is anyway for me to capture video that is saved directly in Mpeg-4 format instead of as a DV clip. I noticed that when you start a new project in iMovie HD, you can select between the ff video formats: DV, HD, Mpeg-4 and iSight. So I assumed that if I select Mpeg-4, than it would capture my video footage from my DV cam (a sonypc350) as Mpeg-4. But it doesn't. It still caputers it as a DV clip. So is there anyway that I can capture in Mpeg-4 format using iMovie HD. My DV cam has analog to digital pass through and I'm trying to figure out a way to create a make-shift TiVo kinda system with the tools I have available.

    ...a way to capture directly into compressed Mpeg-4 format because DV clips take up a lot of hard drive space. ...
    Nope.
    iM's internal file format/compressor is dv, any other will/has to be converted...
    besides:
    mp4 is a lossy codec - you will never get the pic quality as dv...-
    video editing is a disk drive consuming process - no workaround.
    sorry to say that (owner of ~0,7TB of HD… )

  • When I use iMovie 11 to capture HD video from my Handycam, there is a loss of quality that is very noticable when vewing on apple tv3.  What is the best way to get full HD video quality for home movies on apple tv?

    I currently capture HD 1080i video from my Handycam using iMovie 11, then convert the .mov files to .mp4 using Aunsoft Video Converter.  Then view the videos on apple tv.  The quality is definitely lacking.  Not sure if the loss of qulaity is from using iMovie 11 or the Aunsoft software.  Any ideas on how to capture HD qulaity video and view on Apple TV?

  • I changed my apple id email address to try jumpstart my account to send me a verification email for iCloud activation.  It worked but now I cannot change back to my original email address.  It says its in use.

    Hi Guys
    I am writing this on behalf of a friend of mine.  To understand my issue let me explain how it started.  My friend has a apple ID with email address (lets call it) [email protected]  when activating iCloud on her iPhone a email was sent to verify her account.  This was not done and rendered the iCloud feature disabled due to not being activated.  [email protected] is the correct email address and works.  A form of troubleshooting I used the iForgot service to test if the email address was correct and mail flow from apple was working and it worked fine.
    I logged into apple id to manage account and resend activation email for iCloud.  this did not send the mail.  I waited 48hrs but to no avail.
    I decided to kickstart the account to force it to send to another email address by changing the primary email address from [email protected] to [email protected]  it worked and I verified the address and iCloud is now active.  However now I cannot change the primary email address back to [email protected] as it says its being used by another apple ID. 
    I then tried iForgot with the [email protected] email address, it says it sent a email to [email protected] but nothing arrived in [email protected] or [email protected]
    I have this feeling the [email protected] is stuck I'm memory on my apple ID some how but can't get it to forget [email protected] so that I can use it as my primary email address again.
    I have tried to log into iTunes with my original details [email protected] and password but says its incorrect.
    any advices in this would be greatly appreciated.

    The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

  • I cannot change song order on playlist with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column( up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8  and am using itunes 10.4.

    I cannot change song order on playlists (old or new) with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column (up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8  and am using itunes 10.4. I can't drag and drop "music" to "playlist" but can right click and get the option to "add to playlist." No such option for moving song within playlist, only the up and down arrow which moves song from top to bottom list, so if it is #4 from top it will move to #4 from bottom. Stupid I know. I spent over an hour with Apple support, reinstalled itunes, restarted and rebooted computer. Networked with my laptop which is running 10.6.8 and itunes 10.4 and it can drag and drop. The final Apple support solution was to reinstall my operating system. I would prefer not to. Any other ideas?

    After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.

    I have old email address's I used for iTune music purchases and cannot change password on several old accounts. Now some of the music I purchased I can not download and authorize it on my device. What can I do password security does not match my birthdate on two of the accounts. Apple can not send me email with a password authorization on several current accounts that I have with them. How can I contact Apple with this annoying problem I can not fix.

    settings - app/iTunes store - sign out and sign back in with your new id.
    Note - if your older apps needs an update it will use your old apple id and password, as Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase it.
    You can't merge apple id.

  • HT3669 My Epson Perfection 1200 scanner functions as a flatbed scanner but when I try to scan transparencies the control panels change in  Image Capture but the scanner bar will not complete the overview scan  & cannot travel beyond the first 2/3 centimet

    Epson Perfection 1200 scanner continues to function as a flatbed scanner but when I try to scan transparencies/film negs the control panels change in  Image Capture but the scanner bar will not complete the overview scan  & cannot travel beyond the first 2/3 centimeters. All the communications seem to recognise the scanner and the mode for the intended scan but the necessary overview scan is not completed, nothing comes up on the Image Capture scan window. If I unplug the film adaptor I can get a document scan. When I plug in the adaptor again the Image Capture details change which allows me to select the type of scan required but when the scanner attempts an overview scan it is unable to complete it.
    I have had the scanner from new (12 Years) and have previously scanned slides and film with the adaptor but maybe this was before I upgraded my computer (imac 27").
    Do I have to buy a new scanner?  It seems so close to working correctly. 
    I have downloaded the Epson recommended driver (5.4) and have Epson Perfection 1200 6.6 Universal showing in the Applications List.
    Any thoughts or observations would be much appreciated before I go out and spend money an new hardware.
    Thanks

    I have same issue - have you solved this yet?

  • Error message: iMovie cannot save changes to the library!?!

    iMovie crashed my computer and now I can't creat a new movie.
    Here's the full error message:
    iMovie cannot save changes to the library.
    The hard disk where your library is located may be full or unavailable or permissions may have changed. To avoid losing your work, quit iMovie.
    What's up with this? I tried trashing the preferences, but got the same message. I have a 27-inch late 2013 iMac running Mavericks with 445.55 GB free space.
    Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

    You've already tried trashing iMovie preferences (By the way think in Mavericks you have to reboot as well after this for the new preferences to take effect) .  One other thing to try is creating a new user account, logging in and seeing if you can create a new project in iMovie (of course you won't see your exisitng projects).  If you can then iMovie itself is OK.  If not  then the only other thing I can think of is re-installing iMovie  (see http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/qt/How-To-Re-Download-Apps-From-The-Mac-Ap p-Store.htm)
    Is everthing else working OK after your computer crash?  Maybe you should also run Verify disk in Disk Utility.
    Maybe someone-else has some other suggestions (I have not heard of this problem before)?

  • G'day.  I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space.  How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

    G'day.  I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space.  How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

    The slightly bigger question is whether you want to move all movie content to the external drive (essentially meaning that drive will always need to be attached when you're working with your videos), or whether you just want to archive older videos off to the external drive.
    If you want to move all videos, then just move the 'Movies' folder in your home directory to the external drive, then create an alias of the external 'Movies' back in to your home directory. Now the 'Movies' icon in your home directory will point to the external drive and everything will just work (as long as the external drive is attached when you launch iMovie)
    If you want to archive older movies then each Movie should have its own subdirectory within your Movies folder. These can easily be moved off to the external drive, and moved back should you ever need to work on those movies again.
