Why can't I open my video in imovie on my Ipad?

I created a video in IMoive in my Mac but I cannot open it in my Ipad.  I have opened it in ITunes and moved it to the IPad but when I open IMovies on the IPad and try to download but it says the there is no file.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
My guess is
• corrupted iMovie preference file - trash it when iMovie is not running
• use of strange video formats (codecs) or photo file formats or audio file formats - use what iMovie can use.

  • Why can't I open facebook videos on my ipad and iphone?

    Why can't I open facebook videos on my ipad and iphone any more? I used to be able to open most but now I can't open any.  Now it just comes up with a message 'unable to play video.Check your internet connection and try again' There is nothing wrong with my internet connection. I am on wifi and full signal strength. This is happening on both ipad and iphone. It's not the problem where sometimes a video wants Adobe to open it. This message comes up as soon as you try to click on the video play button in the video. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this please?

    Thanks for this Griff but it's not the app that isn't responding.  I am in the facebook app (on both iPhone and iPad) and the app is working fine but if people post a video I can't look at the video on the iPhone or iPad.  i always used to be able to but now it keeps coming up with the message I mentioned above.  So I can no longer watch videos from facebook on either my iPad or iPhone.  Here is a screen shot of my phone of what is happening.  As you can see I have full wifi so there is nothing wrong with my internet connection. This is really annoying as I used to be able to watch videos on both phone and ipad out of facebook.  now I can't.  Hope you can help.  regards and thanks Vicki

  • Why can't Aperture supply referenced Videos to iMovie?`

    I recently figured out that I have some videos inside my Aperture library, the rest is referenced in a separate location.
    Why can't Aperture make these videos available to iMovie for editing?

    Because that is the way the program was written.
    Seriously there is no way to answer that question. The designers of Aperture made this choice, whether it is because of some limitation in the underlying software or for other reasons no one can say.
    It is as it is.

  • Why can't I see a video that is on my ipad in an explorer window of my pc?

    Why can't see a video that is on my ipad when i use explorer on my pc

    You cannot normally directly access the file system on an iPad (or any other iDevice) from the PC or Mac like to view a video or listen to music. You'll have to connect the iPad to the PC using iTunes and sync the video to the PC to view it on the PC.

  • Why can't I open my projects in iMovie 11?

    After importing a video on imovie (11), when I pressed play it wouldn't show anything but there would be sound. I went back to my projects and it wouldn't let me click on any of them to edit, except from the empty ones. How do I fix this problem?

  • Why can't I open CNN videos? I can using Internet Explorer.

    When I visit CNN' s website using Firefox I can't open video. If I go back to Internet Explorer I can opn CNN videos with no problem.

    If you use extensions like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Flash Block</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Why can't i open wmv videos in Lion?

    since upgrading to Lion we cannot open .wmv.  Why?

    Because it's a windows format.  You need Flip4Mac to convert it to a Mac format.

    You can not install something that does not exist.
    There is no iOS version of flash because adobe gave up-they could not make something that was not buggy crash prone power draining security hole.

  • Why can't I open a Quick time video (QTCON) on my Macbook 10.6.8?

    Why can't I open a Quick time video (QTCON) on my Macbook 10.6.8? This should be straight forward right? But its not.

    Quicktime X is a great little piece of software. However, Quicktime X is very finicky on which codec/file format it can decode/play.
    Luckily, there are DOZENS of alternative video/media players and extensions available for the Mac. Some of them are even FREE. Some of the better FREE ones include...
    PERIAN (quicktime extension)
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/22923/perian
    QUICKTIME 7.6.6
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
    VLC Media Player
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/5758/vlc-media-player
    NICEPLAYER
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15136/niceplayer
    ... And if none of those work, there is a possibility that, that video file may be corrupted.

  • Why can't I open a FCE project file that I have saved? (It now says ZERO kb

    Hello...
    I have just started working on a project in Final Cut Express - I render, save, and close out of FCE - but, when I go back to FCE, the project I was working on does not open.
    Why can't I open a project file that I have saved?
    Here was my process in a nutshell:
    ~ When I opened FCE, I went the System Preferences and set the Scratch Disks to a folder on my external hard drive.
    ~Then, I went to File - New Project - worked on the project for a while (including creating bins, importing images and video, and creating a sequence.
    ~I saved the project file to the same folder that I set my Scratch Disks to.
    as often throughout this process.)
    ~When I was done, I saved again andd closed FCE.
    ~Then, soon after, I opened FCE again and my project did not open automatically.
    ~So, I clicked File - Open Recent - browsed to and chose the project file name and FCE gave me a "Unable to open file" message.
    ~When I check to see if the project file actually saved to my external hard drive, the name appears, but it says the file size is ZERO kb.
    I have done this twice with the same unfortunate result. What am I doing wrong? I have worked on FCE on this same computer before, setting the Scratch Disks the same way, and I did not have this problem.
    Please help. Thank you so much for your feedback.
    ...Rae

    Are you sure you are trying to open the project file you actually saved ?
    Try using Spotlight to search for your project file name. I might be wrong, but I guess you try to open an empty copy while your real project file (what you saved) is somewhere else in either your startup disk (Documents folder ?) or the external drive. If so do not use Open Recent in FCE but simply double click the "real" project file.

  • Why can't i open raw files from my eos canon 7dii on PS elements 12

    Why can't i open raw files from me eos canon 7dii on PS elements 12

    Because your camera is newer than your software.
    You need ACR 8.7 which was released this week, to open CR2 files from the 7D.2.  Only current Adobe products can use this version, which would be PSE13 and the Photoshop versions CS6, CC & 2014 and some Adobe video products.
    You can also use the free DNG Converter 8.7 to create DNGs of a folder of images at a time, and then open those DNGs in an older PSE version, but you’ll never be able to open the native CR2 files unless you update the host software to the current versions.
    The DNG Converter 8.7 is available from the Adobe Updates page:
