Why is imovie changing my movie when I export it?

I have created an iMovie clip where I have split the audio from the video and have attached a new audio track to it but when I export it either as a movie or via quicktime, during playback it appears that the original audio is not entirely gone and it will cut back in at random places with 1-3 seconds of orignial audio sounding simultaneously with the new one. When I playback from iMovie there is no additionaly sound so I can not find it to remove it.
Any idea how i can keep the formatting exactly the same when I export it? Its my wedding video and it really means a lot to be able to burn it to a DVD perfectly.
Thanks!

Good to hear that the speed adjustment fixed the audio glitch for you Deborah. It would be nice to have, say, an option for 75% on the speed slider, as there is a big jump from 100% down to 50%. Often a more subtle speed adjustment is called for - particularly for wedding videos (good to see that you are editing your own wedding video).
I'm not sure about this, but iMovie '11 may work correctly when adjusting the speed by entering the percentages manually. I don't recall anyone posting problems like this when using iMovie '11 (it's usually isolated to iMovie '09). So, if your Mac OS supports it, now might be a good time to upgrade to iMovie '11. For the latest version (9.0.8) you need Mac OS X 10.7.4 or later. If you are on Snow Leopard (10.6.8) I think iMovie '11 will update to 9.0.4 only.

Why is Illustrator changing layer order when I export?

I have a relatively simple Illustrator file that consists of several scatter plot graphs. Each point is a filled circle with an outline which sits on top of an error bar. The elements are ordered correctly in Illustrator; the error bars are visible behind the circles. However, when I try to export to PNG, JPEG, BMP, or any other format, the order of the elements changes such that the error bars on are on top of the circles. I have tried several variations of grouping and ungrouping but nothing seems to help. When I save as EPS, the order is retained; when I try to export from EPS to PNG, the order is changed as described above. I have other similar AI files that don't have this problem. I have tried this on both CS5 and CS6. Overprinting is turned off, and none of the elements have any transparancy. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and does anyone have a possible solution?

Thanks for your response Mylenium. I'm not knowingly using any blending effects. My raster effect settings are:
Attached are two screenshots to illustrate my problem. The first shows the AI file open in Illustrator with the correct order, the second shows the result of exporting to PNG. Notice that the error bars are brought forward in order during export.
Figure 1 (above): the AI file open in Illustrator with the correct order.
Figure 2 (above): the PNG file after exporting. The export settings are as follows:
Use Artboards (all)
Resolution: High (300 dpi)
Anti-aliasing: Type optimized (hinted)
Not interlaced
Background color: White
I tried setting the raster effect setting resolution to be the same as the desired export resolution, but that did not solve the problem.
Thanks again for your help!

Why is the quality of movies and pictures exported to the external hard drive lowered?

Why is the quality of movies and pictures exported to the external hard drive lowered?

Are you speaking of manually moving these files, or using an application to export?
When you use the the term "export", it usually entails an application performing some kind of file conversion, rather than a simple transfer. It is during conversion to another file format that information may be lost through lossy compression, or by settings of the export.
Anytime you convert a file to another format, there will usually be some loss or degradation. Tghis can't be helped, as one format may not support every information characteristic the original one did.

How can I do change File Character when I export application (4.2.1.00.08)

Hello,
Please, help me!
I need to change "File Character" when I export application with Apex 4.2.1.00.08 version, but this option, is not possible. The ComboBox already select with
"Unicode UTF-8]', but I need "ISO-8859-1 - Europa Ocidental", how can I do change it?
Thanks

You can not change it on the export...this is simply set to whatever is in effect in the DB.
However, it is totally unnecessary to change it on export. If the database into which you need to import the exported application is "ISO-8859-1 - Europa Ocidental", at the time you begin to import, it will default to "ISO-8859-1 - Europa Ocidental". You need to change this to the character set under which it was exported. In this case, it was "Unicode UTF-8".
It does not matter that you export and import in the same character set. It only matters that you correctly set the import to match how it was exported.

I'm getting a still image in the beginning of my movie when I export. Why??

I don't understand why FCP is doing this. I export a bunch of movies (using batch export) and some of them export right while others get messed up. There would be a still image in the beginning or sometimes the end instead of seeing the actual movie. I can still hear the sound so it's only a problem with the video.
Because I use QT compression to export I don't have the option to re-compress all frames like in the "export using QT movie" command... right?
Help me out here. It's driving me crazy having to export everything a few times until final cut gets it right... Thanks.

NLEdit,
Here's what I have (to the best of my knowledge):
Original source: mini DV tape, it's all HD
I use capture now to digitize the whole tape. My easy setup is: HDV- 1080i60 FiriWire Basic. After I have digitized all of it - it's an .mov file with the settings I just posted above. So when final cut is done digitizing I already have all the files in my browser window and I just drag them and drop them in the timeline and I choose to match the timeline settings if they're different. So my timeline settings look like this:
Frame Size: 1440x1080
Vid Rate: 29.97 fps
Compressor: HDV 1080i60
When I'm done editing, I use batch export to export a bunch of sequences (they all have the same settings I just mentioned above) and I chose:
Format: QuickTime (custom), Compression Type H.264, frame rate: 29.97 fps, key frames: every 24frames, compressor quality- high, encoding: best quality. Then for size I choose either 1280x720 HD or I use "custom" to make them half the size of that so that would be 640x360. My point is to end up with an .mov file which I can then encode into an flv or just burn it on a data cd.
As for your question number 1: I'm not even sure what you mean by that.
Does all that make any sense now?

IMovie changes video size when importing its own exported projects

How can I control aspect ratio on imports - or simply get iMovie to import .mov files at their current and correct aspect ratio and size, as settings indicate? iMovie is messing with them.
I'm re-importing a lot of finished, exported iMovie files because a hard drive crash resulted in the loss of the original projects. As I'm doing this, I notice that these same Quicktime .mov files created by iMovie get squashed and stretched when imported as new events. Despite the fact that I'm using the setting "Full - Original Size."
When I import using the setting "Large - 960 x 540" the aspect ratio is correct, but the frames are reduced in size.
When I import the same videos by first putting them in iPhoto, and then accessing them through "iPhoto Videos" they are perfectly copied, with correct aspect ratio. But I don't want to have to keep taking this extra step.
Thank you!

stage6 files use DivX for encoding.. a HighQuality produced iMovie project could look as good as the stuff there.. allthough, many 'videos' I've seen there are NOT done with a 200$-cheapo-consumer cam.. you can teach Quicktime, and therefore iM to export with that codec... install divx-plug-ins..
to edit natively non-dv-streams, only alternatives are FCpro (=$$$$) or QTpro (=less convenient).. plus a few 'exotic' apps, as the free Mpeg Streamclip, which allows some 'raw' editing of mpegs etc. ...-
but..
if your input is from camcorders, the 'raw' footage is interlaced and low-res, compared to what you see normally on a computer's screen..
if your input is e.g. computer generated (CGI), use for export Apple Intermediate Codec, which is the HiDef codec of iMHD6 .. and probably, use a setting of a higher res, as 1080..
if your input is screengrabs, they don't match the TV-resolutions, iM offers, nor do they match the framerates...
so, what source, what delivery...?

Why is iMovie not free but when i first got my phone it was?

At first when i got my iphone i saw that ALL apple apps were free. Now that i have had my phone for 2 months, i see that ALL apple apps are not free. Does anyone know why the apps are not free when they were free when i first got my phone? (I have an iphone 5s that is 2 months old)

Go to Settings/General/About tap on Name, and change it.

Why I do loose some editing when I export a photo or try to send it by email?

Why do I loose some of my iphoto editing when I export the photo or send it out to Facebook or email?

No information given so we can only guess
You are doing it incorrectly - to properly export select the photo(s) an use the file menu ==> export to a deaktop folder -- to e-mail either set up the desired e-mail client in the iPhoto preferences and share via e-mail, export as above, use Apple Mail and use the media browser or in teh e-mail attach window lok in the lower left hand corner under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto and select teh photo

Why is the metadata being removed when I export videos from Lightroom?

I have a video with several virtual copies each trimmed to play a different clip from that file. Each of those clips (virtual copies) is tagged according to the content. I then export the clips with the intent of deleting the original file (which is mostly footage I don't want to keep). But when I export the clips all the metadata is being removed. In the export profile I have it set to export all metadata, and I have it set to add new files to the current catalog.

I'm having the same issue with all videos, not just ones with edits. I can verify with exiftool the original capture time is not exported.

Why did IMovie 9 start crashing when trying to import from camcorder

I have Imovie 8.0.6 and a Panasonic HDC-SD60 camcorder. I have been importing from this camera for a long time, with no problems but now, IMovie crashes whenever I push the import button. I checked and when nothing is connected, the internal camera comes up when I push the import button. I connect the Panasonic first & see it on the desktop & then open Imovie. ANy idea why it keeps crashing?

Yes, 20 GB is very little - when you import you produce AIC files which are much larger than the original clips. Unless you can clear a lot more space (tens of GB) you need an external hard drive to put your iMovie media on.
This is the AVCHD file structure you should see from the Finder when you connect your camera like an external drive:
First copy the clips you want to use from the STREAM folder to another folder on your hard disk.
Next, you need to convert them from .mts to .mov format using the free program Media Converter. You can also do batch conversions by dropping multiple .mts files onto its window. You need to instal the Re-wrap AVCHD for Quicktime - uncompressed Audioplugin. It is fast since it is not transcoding but simply changing the video wrapper. The website is:
http://media-converter.sourceforge.net/
The resulting .mov clips will import into iMovie (this works for iMovie 9 - I'm assuming it will also work with iMovie 8.)

Why can't I download movies when I've just increased my storage capacity?

Tried downloading a movie rental but was told I need to increase storage capacity in local settings. I changed my plan to the max amnt
(55GB) with 49 remaining. However, when I tried downloading a rental once again, the same thing happened. I've turned my iPad on and
off to no avail. Thoughts?

When you download the movie to your iPad, it uses storage space on the iPad itself, purchasing additional iCloud storage will not help you at all. You will need to free up some space on your iPad.

Why do iMovie clips automatically resize when I add content

I recently added content to my iMovie project on my Macbook Pro and many of the other layered videos, photos, transitions, etc, resized themselves! Why does this happen and can I revert or avoid this in the past? Trying to avoid double work.
Thanks

When you say "resized" do you mean that the clips actually change their duration or just that they change in terms of how the clips are displayed in the project viewer?
You can control the scale of the clips in the project viewer by dragging the little slider in the loweleft of the project viewer.

Why did iMovie end my movie before I finished?

I've been creating a movie and when I went back to work on it, the timeline that allows me to add media to the movie will not go past the end of my last photo. When I try to add music or another clip to the movie, it will not allow it to pass the 4 minute line. Help!
