Using iMovie to add movies to an iWeb site

Hi, all:
Relative Mac noob; please be kind. I think I'm going to answer my own question, anyway, but I thought I'd ask... and I'll cross-post in the iWeb section, too.
I am planning to add some movies to my site. I've done the preliminary layout work, and just need to edit and upload the video.
Up to now, I have always used, and am comfortable with, iMovie HD 6. I've never used iMovie '08, even though I installed the iLife '08 upgrade two months ago.
Which version of iMovie - '08 or HD 6 - is better suited to the task of editing digital video that will be added to an iWeb site? One source file is a QuickTime movie I've already got; the rest of the video I'll be shooting in the coming week or so.
I think that the older version of iMovie is going to suit me better, 1) b/c I already know it and 2) it has more powerful editing capabilities, no?
Thanks,
Bill from CT

Hallo, Klaus!
Thanks for your reply. From an original QuickTime movie that was 2 hours & 47 minutes long, I've edited the video I wanted and how have a 3 minute, 52 second iMovie.
I'm not sure why, but my iMovie is over 33 GB (yep, gigabytes) in size. I suppose this is a side issue, but I sure wasn't expecting a short iMovie that has just three video clips and a couple of transitions to be that big.
The "share" choices include iWeb. As this movie is destined for my site, built with iWeb, is this the best choice for sharing? And given that it's opera, should I choose "share for video podcasting" over "share for web?" The former has higher-quality audio (and is also H.264 format - easier for Windows users?).
I have set up a separate page for this video on the site...
Thanks again!

    As always, use the editor that has the features needed for the project.

  • Do I need to embed QT movies in my iWeb site if I am using another web host

    I am going to be posting my iWeb site to another web hosting service (bluehost.com). Does anybody know if I will need to embed the QuickTime movies I have on my site. Do I need to purchase QuickTime Pro to accomplish this task? How difficult is embedding the QuickTime movies to a non.Mac web hosting service?
    Many thanks for your assistance

    I believe that as long as you drag and drop your QT movies into iWeb, it will embed the QT movies for you when you "publish to folder." Then all you will need to do is upload the folder to your webhost.
    No need to buy QTPro unless you are trying to convert from one format to another.
    Good luck!

  • Ilife '11 Updated...now I cant add albums to my Iweb sites

    Hi everyone,
    I have just updated to Ilife 11, and now when I open my Iweb it wont allow me to drag photo albums from the media pane onto my Iweb page. The green circle with the cross does show and the other albums move out of the way as if the album were going to drop into place, but nothing happens.
    Please help as I have 3 websites currently running which people have paid for,
    Thanks!

    I was having this exact same problem myself till I figured it out.
    1.) With your iPhone plugged in, click on the iPhone button near the top right of iTunes next to iTunes Store.
    2.) Click "On This iPhone"
    3.) Click "Add To"
    4.) Then you can drag music to your phone from your albums, songs list, playlists, etc.
    Hope that helped! If I didn't clarify it enough, let me know!

  • WALLPAPERS ON IWEB SITES

    Does anyone have any ideas how to add images to an iWeb site which can then be downloaded for use as wallpapers on PC's and Macs.
    Thanks - John

    How many different sizes did you want to represent? If, say, you wanted to do 3 different sizes, then I'd set the Photo grid to be 3 across, and drop all of resolution A in one column, resolution B in another column and resolution C in the third column. This makes it easier for your users to pick the resolution and image and makes it easier for you to manage.

    A few months ago, I purchased a new iMac. I recently created a movie using iMovie. Then I found out that iDVD is not included. So I have the problem that I want to burn a movie that I can play on my DVD player and watch on a television. I rang Applecare and was told that I need a program called BURN.
    Is this correct? I can export the movie from iMovie in a m4v format, but I think I need to convert this to iso format before I can burn the disc.
    I know there are programs like TOAST that will do this, but it is expensive.
    I would be very grateful for any assistance.

    Burn will not do what you want, and there is no real substutute for iDVD.
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
    Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. Stating that they would return their brand new Mac unless they received a copy of iDVD worked for some, but that is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple.
    Also, you can complain bitterly via Apple’s Feedback link, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means. You may feel that Apple should not dictate how you destribute family videos or photos to distant relatives and friends, and should not assume that every user is prepared to pay for the excessive bandwidth usage charged by ISPs for huge downloads from the App Store:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that came with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or that comes with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.
    And if you think Microsoft are any better, their new Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced:  http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
    In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past.

  • 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.
    Yours Bengt W

  • 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 am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Is it necessary to add? If so, how do I add H Tags to iweb.

    I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Are they necessary to add?  Why would one add these tags and how do I add H Tags to iweb? And are there examples to look at? I am slowly learning about simple web design and assumed that iweb was stand alone without having to write code. Is this one of the reasons iweb is no longer supported? Thanks for looking at this!

    A simple text page like this:
    Heading
        sub heading
              text paragraph ....
    Is traditionally represented by html tags like:
    <h1>Heading</h1>
         <h2>sub heading</h2>
              <p>text paragraph ... </p>
    I would guess that the use of h1-h6 tags helps search engines to understand the structure of a page as the tags imply a certain structure.
    This can be compared to more generic tags like <div> that could represent any kind of content - and may be what iWeb uses (you'll have to check yourself).
    I would generally recommend that you use some kind of up to date blog/site building tool, perhaps Wordpress or Squarespace (I haven't used either one myself) that support current web technologies - this should reduce your SEO issues and make it easier to properly support mobile/tablet users.

  • How do I add a forum to me site using iweb 08?

    I have all the sources such as i web 08, mobile me account and my own domain name website all set up and running fine. I would like to add a forum where people can add comments and pictures. How can I do this?

    Michael ~ Neither Lefora or WordPress would be used with iFrame, i.e. iWeb's +HTML Snippet+ window. Instead you would simply hyperlink an image or text string to your Lefora URL. Setting up the hyperlink in iWeb to open in a new window would allow the viewer to easily return to your iWeb site.
    WordPress is for creating blogs — not really for members to share ideas. For that, it would be better to use a Lefora forum or Backpack. I haven't used either so I can't say which is best.

  • I wish to export several still images from iMovie as JPEG or TIFF. Is it possible to do this using iMovie, if so how? Any advice is greatly appreciated. I've already managed to add a freeze frame to extract the desired frame but I can't export it. Thanks.

    I wish to export several frames from iMovie as if they were images (like JPEGs or TIFFs). Is it possible to do this using iMovie, if so how? Any advice is greatly appreciated. I've already managed to 'add a freeze frame' to isolate the desired frames but I can't export it. Thanks.

    Ach... I found a solution thanks to previous posts which came to light after I'd posted what was obviously a question that had been asked before.

  • I have created several short (3-5 minute) movies using iMovie 10.0.6 and Yosemite.  I want to create one movie that includes these short movies that I can then either burn to a DVD or show in iMovie's Theater.  How can I do it?

    I have created several short (3-5 minute) movies using iMovie 10.0.6 and Yosemite.  I want to combine those short movies into one movie that I can loop and burn on a DVD or show in iMovie Theater.  How can I do it?  The movies are now shared to iTunes.

    Another easy way to fix this.
    What I've noticed is that upon upgrading your projects and events to work with iMovie 10, initially it will work... Until you quit iMovie and reopen it again. Any events with hashtags will show up without the star next to the iMovie event. SO, if you happen to read this, after upgrading to iMovie 10 from its predecessor, immediately change the event name to NOT include a hashtag/pound symbol.
    Otherwise, if it's too late, you can either do the above or this...
    Hold down option and click on iMovie. This will prompt you Locate, Create a New Library, Cancel this window, or Choose a different library. What you want to do is create a new library, call it whatever you want to, this will only be temporary. After the program opens, it should be a blank Library. Then go to File > Open Library > iMovie Library (your original library) and proceed to change the name of your events. Quit the program. Go into your Movies folder in Finder, delete the library you temporarily created, and your back in business.
