What video format to use for imovie

How do I convert the video so that I can import it?

You need to tell us the specs for the video i.e. fps, aspect ratio, container, encoder etc.

What video format to export for Ipad Apps

Hi,
I am new in export flash to ipad. I tried to export my video as FLV for my ipad apps, it plays but its lagging or jerky.
I had tried other formats like mp4, f4v, m4v or mov it just doesn't play
Wonder if anyone knows what video format to export for my ipad apps?

[email protected], on an iPad, here's what I did to get the FLV loading and taking up (most) of the screen. You can't use the FLV Component skins so you have to use the UI Components as markc888 suggested below your comment. My only gripe with this solution is that I can't get the fullScreen button to make the video go full screen.
This is starts from a playVideo button on my stage.
playVideo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playVideoClick);
function playVideoClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
var flvPlayback:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
flvPlayback.x = 62;
flvPlayback.y = 62;
flvPlayback.width = 900;
flvPlayback.height = 506;
flvPlayback.fullScreenTakeOver = true;
flvPlayback.autoPlay = true;
flvPlayback.source = "yourMovie.flv";
flvPlayback.bufferTime = .1;
addChild(flvPlayback);
flvPlayback.playPauseButton = playPauseBtn_mc;
flvPlayback.stopButton = stopBtn_mc;
flvPlayback.seekBar = seekBar_mc;
var closeMovie:yourMovieClip = new yourMovieClip();
addChild(closeMovie);
closeMovie.x = 977;
closeMovie.y = 77;
closeMovie.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeMovieClick);
function closeMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
flvPlayback.stop();
removeChild(flvPlayback);
removeChild(closePres);
Hope it helps...

What video formats are compatible with iMove '11

Flash video has no dependency on pre-installed players, so is often a good choice

What video format is best for video quality?

Would anyone care to comment on what video format is recommended to achieve the best video quality in Encore when burning to a 25 GB Blu-ray disc? I have the choice of saving my HD video that will be imported into Premier Pro CS4 (and then sent to Encore CS4) in .mp4, .mt2s or .ts and I'm not sure which one will give me the best results. Thanks in advance for the insight!
Ken

does that mean that one is not necessarily "better" than the other?
That is correct.
Now, some feel that with the MP4 H.264 that there are differences between the Apple, the Lead and the MainConcept H.264. Each supplier has a "camp of followers."

How to know what compression format is used for images in pdf file? (jpeg2000 issue with iPad)

I have a pdf file whose images are compressed in jpeg2000 format which the iPad doesn't support. I used Acrobat to save the pdf file using the zip compression for the images and another time using the jpg compression. I set this in the PDF Optimizer screen. The images in the pdf do not show up in the iPad.
I am not sure if I am doing something wrong. How do I know what compression was used for the images in a pdf file?

My work around for now is "Make Compatible with…’ from Acrobat 4.0 " which does not support JPEG2000 compression.

Editor here, what's the best format to use for iMovie?

Hi all. I edit professionally, using Final Cut among other products. I haven't touched iMovie since...I can't remember when.
We have a client who is going to be using some of our footage for a project they will be editing themselves, using some version (unknown at present) of iMovie.
Assuming their computer is new, and they have a fairly current version of iMovie HD, what's the best format to transcode our original files to? I could always default to DV anamorphic, but would rather give them HD files.
Thanks for your help.

If they have a current Mac and are on iMovie 11 (current) or iMovie 8 or 9, give them Apple Intermediate Codec.
This works well for HD files.
Other formats that would work: Motion JPEG-A, Apple Animation Codec, h.264, DV, HDV.
ProRes 422 will only work in iMovie if your client has Final Cut Pro installed on the same machine (and thus has the necessary components).

What video format is compatible with iMovie? I am having trouble!

The video clips from my iPhoto library are not shown properly in iMovie. I'm only able to hear the sound of the clip but unable to watch it. when i skim through the clip, i don't see anything on the viewer, i just hear skimming through the sound. when i tried to play the clip, just the sound began to play. even the thumbnail does not show a picture of the clip, its just grey.
i've tried to re-import it into iMovie as a new event, but still, its not cooperating.
The video clips are Format: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions 16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Mono, 44.100 kHz
Could someone help me please???

Based on these stats, it looks like this should import, play, edit, and export to/in/from iMovie '08 without problem. What is the file container and can you post/e-mail a "snippet" sample for test on an alternate platform and/or further analysis? Assume you have installed all updates to this point in time.

What video format is best for TV ad ?

Best composition settings

The suggestions above are helpful, but they may not necessarily be correct.
Here's the ONLY way you're going to know for sure: find out the delivery specifications for your project and work backwards from there. You have to contact the ad distributor / broadcaster / advertising agency / editor.... whoever receives your work. Presumably, these people already know what they need from you. You need to find that out.
If you don't do that, you're only wasting your time.

What video formats can iMovie edit?

I was wondering what video formats iMovie can edit? Such as mpeg 2, mpeg 4, etc...
the specific reason I'm asing is that I'm considering having some vhs tapes converted to DVD's, which I'm assuming would convert them to mpeg 2...and was wondering if they would be editable in iMovie?

Hi Vapor_action:
Stop!
Seriously-you will be MUCH better off if you have them convert them to DV tape for import to iMovie. DVD uses a different compression and it is a real pain to get them into iMovie. In fact, it is easier to get the VHS to iMovie than DVD in my opinion.

Is it legal for me to post a video to YouTube using an IMovie trailer template?

IMovie comes with templates you can create your own movies with such as movie trailers. Is it legal for me to upload these videos I make using these IMovie templates to places like YouTube?

Yes that's within the License terms.

What video files are supported by iMovie 10.0.6? I have to somehow convert .rcproject files to something that iMovie will accept but I don't know what kind of format to change to.

What video files are supported by iMovie 10.0.6? What is the best way to allow iMovie 10.0.6 accept my .rcproject movies?

Hey Sioux Falls,
If you are looking for information on converting or updating older iMovie projects to iMovie 10, you may find the following article helpful:
Update projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014) - Apple Support
Note: To clarify, a .rcproject file generally only contains links and references to movie clips and effects that would be part of an iMovie project; it usually does not contain any actual video.
Cheers,

What video format do I send a client in France?

What video format do I send a client in France?

Sorry I thought you were wasting mine.
Let's start again. If you're sending the client a digital file for use on a computer, it doesn't matter what you send him/her as long as the format can be played back and the client has the codec. It doesn't matter a jot whether they're in France or Brazil or Japan. If you're sending them a videotape, it needs to be at 25fps. If it's standard defintion it needs to be PAL. If it's a DVD it doesn't matter as any DVD player sold in Europe made in the last 10 years will playback either NTSC or PAL. If it's HD maybe they want Blu-ray, in which case it doesn't matter either as Blu-ray players will play any Blu-ray supported frame rate and there is no difference in the codec between the US or Europe.
I can go on, but it would be easier if you said what you had and what they wanted.
