Using 'Share with Media Browser' gives all movies the same name

I'm having a huge problem exporting in iMovie as it relates to iWeb. Every movie I 'Share with Media Browser' is named after the size I choose instead of the name of the project. So one project named 'Sunday' will be exported as "medium.m4v", then a different movie called 'Baseball' will be exported as "medium.m4v" but in a different folder.
The problem is, when I try to use them in iWeb, all of the pages reference the movie named "medium.m4v", but they upload the movies and rename them "medium.m4v", "medium-1.m4v", "medium-2.m4v" and so on, but all of the pages display the first "medium.m4v" video.
I went to "Reveal In Finder" in iWeb and I can see the movie, but if I rename it, it disappears out of the Media Browser in both iMovie and iWeb. I can then import it by dragging it in from the Finder, but then I lose having iMovie know it's there for freeing up space later. For something that is supposed to be simple, this is certainly not. Is there a way to initially override the name of the movie from within iMovie?

Well yes, that was how I was doing it with th previous version of iMovie. But this is Apple!! Putting these movies in iWeb has to be one of the primary functions that this "Media Browser" was created for, how can it be completely broken?

  • Why does iMovie quit constantly when I try to Share with Media Browser? I want to burn this movie!

    iMovie quits ALL THE TIME when I try to Share with Media Browser in order to burn the DVD.  Why? What can I do? Is it becasue I bought a refurbished Mac? I burned a DVD from another project only a month ago.

    I don't know why it happens, but if you read messages around the iMovie Discussion Group it seems to happen to a lot of people. The easiest way around this is to Share to Media Browser instead of Share to iDVD directly. The Media Browser is a 'holding area' for video you want to use in other iLife Apps (including GarageBand and iDVD). When you Share to Media Browser, choose the Large size. Then let it run until it finishes. Quit iMovie.
    Open iDVD. Create a New Project, Select a Theme. Then click on the Media Button. Click on the Movies button below the Media Browser. Your project will now appear under the iMovie star icon just drag that project into the iDVD project window. This should bypass the problem you were having by sharing Directly to iDVD.

  • I have had my apple tv 2 for about 3 months which work perfectly fine when I use it with my iPad 3 ー all of the sudden I get the HDCP Error!  I read the forms and done everything!  Apple I name a loyal customer, please come out with an update soon!

    I have had my apple tv 2 for about 3 months which work perfectly fine when I use it with my iPad 3 ー all of the sudden I get the HDCP Error!  I read the forms and done everything!  Apple I name a loyal customer, please come out with an update soon!

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

  • We have three Apple devices. They are all have the same name and are on the same apple ID. We would like to back up our Notes to the cloud. If we each create our own Apple email address will they create two separate Notes flies on the cloud or merge?

    We have three Apple devices 2 IPhone 4's and one Ipad2. Only the Ipad2 is running the latest OS. They are all have the same name and are on the same apple ID. We would like to back up our Notes to the cloud. If we each create our own Apple email address (we don't have one yet) will they create two separate Notes flies on the Cloud or merge them?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Separate Apple ID's will result in separate notes. However when you first start with separate ID's unless one of you erases the notes you have, you will both start off with the same set of notes, but from then onwards each set won't sync with each other.

  • Error -50 when trying to share with media browser?

    I'm attempting to burn a dvd in idvd for the first time. When I click media browser under share in imovie 08, I'm fist told that there's missing media. A source clip is not available. Although I hear it (audio) in both the project and in the source material in the event library. I clicked continue and things started to move along then this warning came up UNABLE TO PREPARE PROJECT FOR PUBLISHING ERROR CODE-50.
    Please help.

    I'm using native.
    I did cancel all background rendering and exporting before I deleted the renders. I actually quit final cut before I did that, then restarted.
    I found that the crash was probably the result of a motion plug-in that I was using, but the speed of exporting is still way below what it was last week. I would still like to utilize that motion plug-in :/

  • Why is my browser stacked? I want my browser features all on the same line and the drop down from the word firefox seems to be the beginning of the problem?

    ''duplicate - locking - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/861730''
    The only way I can describe the problem is, the word Firefox appears on top with a drop down arrow. The next line is the backward/forward button with the address bar. Next is the Most Visited button, Getting Started, Latest Headlines and to the far right Bookmarks. The next line begins with Yahoo logo exclamation mark, search, my mail icon, my My yahoo icon, bookmark icon, messenger icon, yahoo answers icon, the weather icon and finally facebook icon, and to the far right Channels, Notifications, Share this page and toolbar settings. Next final line, tabs I have opened.
    I will gladly send a screenshot if this will help solve my problem?.

    I'm having similar issues.  The iPhone4's face time works just as it always did but the iPad4 is not working.  I can place a call but it won't connect, others can call and it rings but never connects.  I've signed in and out of iTunes, removed and reinstalled the wifi, hard restart, and anything I can think of.  It's driving me nuts!

  • Payments from customers all show the same name

    I sell a number of products daily and the FROM part all say the Paypal payments are from the same person. The name is from one of my customers. How do I stop this from reoccuring. I don't want to delete all my emails. Any tips would help. Thank you.

    Delete the paypal address from the address book as Thunderbird is using the name associated with that entry.
    Alternatively disable the use of Display names from the address book.

  • I have converted/copied my itunes oto mp3 format to play on my PC. unfortunatly I didi not specify a different folder fro the mp3's. I therefore have itunes side by side with my mp3's all in the same folder. How can I remove the mp3's into another folder.

    I have converted my itunes on my imac to mp3 format so i could play them on my pc. unfortunatly  i did not specify a seperate folder for the mp3's to be sent to once converted.
    i now have itunes and mp3's side by side in the itunes media folder. this has the effect of doubling my library.
    how can i get rid of the mp3's from this folder en mass, other than erasing them one by one, there are 7000!!!

    Click on 'Music' in the iTunes sidebar. Look to see whether you have a 'Kind' column:
    If you haven't, choose 'View Options' from the 'View' menu and check 'Kind':
    Now go to the Music list again and click on the label of the 'Kind' column. This will group all your AACs and MP3s together. Locate the MP3s: click on the top one. Hold the shift key and click on the bottom one to select them all. If you want to save them drag them to a folder on your Desktop. Then hit 'Delete'. IMPORTANT: when promted, choose to have them moved to the Trash, otherwise they will be removed from the list but kept in the actual library.

  • Clustering images - they all get the same name?

    Hi Vision Gurus,
    I need to create multiple images, so to reduce wiring I thought I'd put them into a cluster. But when I do so, they are all called "New Image", which is not the name I gave each one when I used IMAQ Image Create. Iexpected each image to have the name I gave it.
    Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong?
    Many thanks.

    The "Name" you give an image using Imaq create image.vi can be though of as a pointer to the actual image data.
    The name of a control in a cluster is just the label of that control.  The two things are not related.
    If you need to carry multiple image references (named images) in a single cluster element, then simply create multiple image controls (or constants), and then wire up to the corresponding named image wire.

  • Share to media browser option and mobile me

    I am trying to share a movie I made. I chose the "Share to media browser" option because it seemed like it would give me the most options for sharing my movie (since it looked like choosing to share the movie in large format would allow me to share it via Apple TV, via my computer and via MobileMe).
    I don't understand what this share option is for. I finally found the raw file and manually copied it into my iTunes so I can watch it on my Apple TV. I have no idea how this method allows me to share it to Mobile Me. I've since tried selecting the "Publish to Mobile Me gallery" option, but now the option to share in the large size is greyed out, presumably because I've already shared it as a large file.
    So basically I have no idea what the purpose is of the "Share to media browser". All I want to do is be able to watch the movie on my Apple TV and to be able to send it to my sister so she can download it and have it for as long as she wants (or she can just watch it once online if she's not interested in keeping it). So first off, how can I share it to Mobile Me as a large video now that I've already chosen the "Share to media browser" option. Second, in hindsight what should I have done instead? I wanted to avoid multiple exports since it took a really long time to export this.
    Assuming I can get this video to my sis and keep my version I've got in iTunes now, I don't need to do anything with it in iMovie ever again. Can I just delete the iMovie project in addition to the raw footage?

    Hmmm...
    The Large is enabled if I Share to iTunes, but if I try Media Browser, Large is grayed out. This is with many projects I choose (including a slideshow I just made), but some DO offer Large with Media Browser. Do you know the secret formula here?
    I tried direct to iDVD (captured at 960x540) but the result was lousy. So I thought I'd give Media Browser a try based on other posts...
