Videos not showing in iMovie for iPad

Hey all
I just downloaded a bunch of videos from my camcorder to my PC... Then proceeded to put those vids on my new iPad. I'm trying to edit tthe videos in iMovie but they are not showing up. I already did the locations services so that is not it. Does anybody know what needs to be done?

Hi
iMovie needs iPhoto and other components in iLife bundle to address their respective libraries. if they point to a newer one - iMovie will not find the old material.
So close all
Open iPhoto and select the right library - open
Now open iMovie and let it up-date thumbnails photos
Does it work better now ?

Is there a list of Microsoft Fonts that will work with Pages?
Are you actually seeing a noticeable difference in the fonts after conversion? While there are some difference between those fonts, they are very subtle differences and in all likelihood will not really change the look of the document.

Import iPhoto Flip video - not showing.

Running iMovie 09. iPhoto '11 (9.1.5). Imported video from Flip into iPhoto. Video not showing in iMovie. Is this a format issue? Is there a workaround?
Thanks

Make sure that if the Flip came with a disk or software to be installed, that you run the installer. I've got a first gen. Flip mino that requires something called a 'codec' to be installed before the video clips can playback. In my case it's a piece of software from a company called 3ivx.

IMovie for iPad not detecting video shot on iPhone 4

I recently purchased iMovie for iPad with the hope that I would be able to use video shot on my iPhone 4 but with no luck.. I have about 10 30sec clips and non of them appear in iMovies video "bin"
Any ideas?

Hi all
Found a really cool app called simpltransfer which allows you to transfer photos and video between iDevices!!
The app has a lite version (which allows you to transfer from within your 1st 50 files listed in your device's camera roll or photo library) for free download.
S now I can edit away on my iPad ... Soon to be uploaded to YouTube n Facebook for all my friends viewing pleasure!! LOL
More apps should have lite versions as trials!!! Too often I've paid the $1 or $2 only to be disappointed that the app does not live up to its claims ... Like 100 cameras in 1 for iPad.
Anyway .. Thanks for all the help!!

TS3719 iPad video import to iMovie for ipad

Does anyone know how to take a video taken on an ipad3 and import into iMovie for iPad? My video clips do not show up. I purchased iPhoto and can send the video over that way, but it does not import correctly. I get a yellow triangle error.

Photos showing black on iMovie for iPad

Some but not all of the photos I have inserted into my movie project are showing as black screens when the movie plays. This starts in middle of movie after a few video clips. Using iMovie on iPad with photos imported from iPhone and slr.

That sounds like a real bug.
When I put photos from our 5D in to iMovie it has been through iPhoto.
And I can see it doesn't put the full resolution image into my album.
Im guessing that they haven't allowed it to take full resolution images; much like the limits of FCP and Motion with different video cards.
So it probably detects the large image and does a quick resize to a useable size.
That *****!
You should tell Apple:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/imovie_iOS.html
But have you tried opening the photos in PS Express or a photo editing program, and saving them out from there?
Then they should be smaller I assume,a nd should look fine in iMovie.
Crappy to have to work around, but better then not being able to use photos; or iPhoto round-tripping.

Reconnecting video in iMovie for iPad

I'm having trouble getting iMovie for iPad to reconnect video files.
Recently I edited a fairly large project in iMovie for iPad with video clips all taken from my iPhone 4. I synced the clips to the iPad by going through iTunes and transferring them as a photo Event. From there I was able to work with the media and finish the project, but somewhere along the line I re-synced the iPad with my MacBook, and the Event that contained the media I was working on was taken off the iPad. Obviously, when I re-opened iMovie I noticed this accident by all the little yellow triangles everywhere.
Since then I've tried everything I can think of to get iMovie to recognize the same clips I have since re-synced back into my photos library, but have been unsuccessful.
Any ideas what could be wrong? Or is it, once the media is disconnected the link is gone forever?
Here's the vague and relatively unhelpful quote from Apple's support page in dealing with this problem:
"Resolution
Missing Video clips
If your project contains a video clip that is stored in either of the following locations, moving the video clip from its location causes the yellow triangle to appear:
The Photos app. (A video clip would be stored here if it was synced to your iOS device from a computer).
The Camera Roll. (A video clip would be stored here if it was recorded using the Camera app, if it was imported via the Camera Connection Kit, or if it was moved to the Camera Roll from the iMovie Video Browser)."
You can see how if you move the clips from these locations, the media is disconnected... obviously. But there is apparently no way to reconnect that media, as you can do on the Mac version of iMovie. Actually, iMovie on the Mac will even locate missing media for you. Not the case here.

Yes the video I have imported appears in the photos app

Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.

I created a slide show in imovie for my daughters 21st with voice overs from friends and family which was all working fine but now the voice recordings are not playing at all. Obviously some setting has changed but I can't find which one.

Can videos not recorded on the new ipad be edited with imovie?

can videos not recorded on the new ipad be edited with imovie?

Hi
Please rephrase Your Question - I'm not clever enough to get it
There are lot's of Cameras that record in lot's of different ways that can be edited in iMovie.
No iMovie can not use all Video-Codec's in the World - they are zillions and many needs to be converted to something iMovie can open and work with.
• Still digital Cameras as Nikons - Import into iPhoto and then in iMovie Event's window import from iPhoto-videos title
• miniDV tape Cameras - connects only via FireWire - then just Import from Camera into Event's
• SD-Card or Hard Disk Cameras Connects most ofthen via USB and Import from "File or other"
• from Internet - (out of my range - Guessing) - most will need to be converted into something iMovie likes - I would try
- StreamingDV .dv - or -
- AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec)
So as You see - I don't get it !
Yours Bengt W

Which codecs does iMovie for iPad support?

I have videos from a Canon Powershot camera which are in 1280 × 720, H.264, Linear PCM. I can import these videos to iMovie on iPad but when I open iMovie it does not show the files.
I have also tried to import the videos via iTunes Movie Sync. I can play the video on the iPad but can not import it to a new project in iMovie.
Which codecs does iMovie for iPad support? If I can play the movie on iPad, it should be possible to edit it?
Where do I find the codecs supported by iMovie for iPad?

iMovie was made to edit video shot on iOS devices; there is no support list, it was made to edit iOS video.
This allows iMovie to be stable (or should make it stable as the case may be).
That said, you are importing the video wrong, and may be in luck with your video.
The File sharing pane is just for importing iMovieiOS projects.
iMovie cannot edit video in the Movies app.
iMovie edits video that can be seen in the photos app.
So you need to import it via the photos tab, as you would photos.
The other option is using the camera connect kit.
If you can see the video in the Photos app, it is highly likely that you can edit it.
But be warned that using non-iOS sourced video can make iMovie very buggy and flakey.
Avid for iPad is made to edit more formats and might be a better choice if you have trouble.

Photos from DSLR import to 'photos' but pixelate in iMovie for iPad

Hi,
I just downloaded iMovie for iPad it seems really great.
I am trying to make my first project using pictures I have on my iPad that I imported using the camera connection kit from my Nikon D70s- the pictures are all fine and I've viewed them extensively in the photo viewer app, however when I import them and put them in the time line in iMovie they all get heavily pixelated as if the base file were only about 200x200... I have no idea what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!

When using imovie for Ipad, how can I fast forward a project to cut the length down?

When using imovie for Ipad, how can I fast forward a project to cut the length down to fit under the 15 minutes required for Youtube? My current project is 23 minutes, and need to cut it down below 15 minutes. I was hoping to speed up the video. The content would actually be better viewed in at a faster speed anyhow.

Jon,
It sounds like you did, just as you should, Save_As and Delete everything that is unwanted. If you did the Deletion from the Timeline, there should be nothing from the old Project, that should be included. A DVD is Transcoded and burned from the Timeline. If the Assets are not there, they will not included in the DVD, even if you did not Delete anything from the Project Panel.
Tell us about the Clips now on your Timeline. Also, can you check the Timeline, by hitting the \ (Backslash key), and looking near the end of the Timeline. Do you have any "orphans" out there? Check all Video Tracks, even if you have to scroll to see them all. Does the Duration of the Timeline (viewed in the Program Monitor) match what you think that it should? If not, then you most likely have orphans, that you missed Deleteing.
Good luck,
Hunt
