Deadline clip to an imovie project?

I read in an old (I think that 2007) imovie post that you can only put 17 video clips on a single project. Is this always true for the latest version?

I just bought a new imac and decided to make a simple montage video trailer-like of my last vacation and planned on the use of multiple clips, probably about 50 or more. Is imovie not a good choice for me?

Thanks for your help!

-Charlie

No it not there no limit subject of course, you have the storage space.

  • How can I replace a source element without having to redo the iMovie project?

    When exporting an iMovie project, I detected that a source element had bad images and export could not comlete (error 10008). I fixed the file and replaced it within the overall project. But after that iMovie refuses to play this clip during the opening of the new project - it shows an exclamation point in the chronology and the message "the clip has changed."

    Is there a way to replace an element in the project?

    A few facts:

    • The clips are AVI containers
    • I used Yodot AVI repair to remove the bad images
    • The repaired file use the same as the original codecs
    • version of iMovie: 10.1.1

    Yes.  With the Finder, drag the clip fixed everywhere where it is saved until it is placed on the old item in project.  When a green plus sign appears next to the cursor let go of the mouse button and you will get a menu.  Click "replace".  The duration and all connected titles, glitches or audio should not be affected.

  • How to change the same on 2 different phones to MAC iMovie project

    I am in Germany and my husband is in Spain and we have 2 separate not coupled Mac Book Air laptop.

    (1) I need iMovie project "edit" an unfinished which is currently on his laptop.

    (2) how can we share and both have access to the clips unfinished , events, projects iMovie, etc. between 2 laptops?

    We only know how to share projects FINISHED, but this isn't what I want to do.

    Could possibly copy us the unfinished project files on DropBox or something like that?

    Thank you

    This is possible, but not easy.  You need to work from a copy of the same library using exactly the same version of iMovie.  You cannot work directly for a copy of the library 'in the cloud', but you can use the cloud to transfer the updates to the library.  Libraries are often quite large, so download will be slow.  If the library contains many other events and projects you don't want to work on it would be better to create a library containing only the events and you need to collaborate on projects.

    Of course only one of you can be change at any time and you would have to notify each other when you have downloaded an update from the library and completed.  Its also important to avoid the update of the library while iMovie is running.

    Another important point is to ensure that the library contains all of the original media files and not of links to files in other libraries like iTunes or pictures that do not work on the other computer.  To do this, you need to "consolidate media" for more information see: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/mov882dee351

  • I have a project in iMovie HD6 and want export to Final Cut Pro.  I see that it is not possible from the previous questions, but is it possible that I could maybe create a dvd of the iMovie project and then who import in Final Cut?

    I have a project in iMovie HD6 and want export to Final Cut Pro.  I see that it is not possible from the previous questions, but is it possible that I could maybe create a dvd of the iMovie project and then who import in Final Cut?  I just want to make a new trailer for the project.

    What you suggest is possible but it takes software and third-party quality loss.

    Instead, export a QuickTIme movie. If you have a choice of codecs, choose Apple Intermediate Codec. You can save it where you want it-maybe in the movies.

    Then import the movie into FCP as a clip.

    Good luck.

  • How to export a picture of an iMovie project Photos

    My computer is an iMac running OS X version 10.11.6.

    The computer has a CPU 3.3 GHz 17 and 16 GB 1867 MHz memory.

    I want to export a photo of the photo in an iMovie project.

    When I try this through Photos, iMovie is provided as an option.

    The same is true when I try to import the photo thanks to iMovie.

    I am using photo Version 1.5 and iMovie'08 Version 7.1.4

    I managed to place the photo in the project iMovie in jpg file, but it is not recognized in the project workspace.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Kind regards

    Mike

    The photo system library should appear under libraries in iMovie 10.  It is not recognized by earlier versions of iMovie, which is also completely incompatible with El Capitan.  See:

    Designate a library in pictures - Apple Support System

    You can also export an original unmodified photo on the desktop and then drag and drop the window mounting or iMovie event.

  • retrieve the format of an iMovie project

    can I get the components of an iMovie project from a Time Machine backup of my computer, made before the project was converted into an iMovie, if the project has since been removed?

    You must restore the time iMovie library machine. You cannot restore parts of the library as a few projects, for example.

  • What size an iMovie project maybe? Quality audio during playback

    Need big-time help from some pros iMovie 11 out there. I would like to have a more recent machine on which I could use the latest version.

    I am re-a one hour film editing, that I made for the anniversary of this year 25 years ago, and I'm afraid of project file may be too large. I have lots of sound effects and music added added that begin to abandon during reproduction, which wasn't a problem for weeks, so the project was smaller. I think pretty well I can't get all on a DVD, so I will break the film into two parts, I should have an intermission still. What can I / should I duplicate the event or project, or both and delete the last half of the movie from the original project / event and then delete the first half of the film of the copy (assuming that I can copy of in iMovie)? If possible, I think two small-sized projects would be better than a big project and event. I do not know if I must and can copy an event, since the same source files would be shared by the two smaller projects. Sorry to ramble on, but I need an intervention of paranoia here. p.s., if I connect an external USB drive to back up my iMovie project, should I just copy the files to iMovie in my users-movie file, or is there another way? Thank you, Carl.

    HI, Carlat,

    Share the lack of space on your hard drive or an external drive, there is no limit on the size an iMovie project can be.  If you have a slow computer, you may have some difficulties with it now with your editing, and there may be some stuttering or abandonment you observe.

    Your computer may not be fast enough to playback in iMovie to deal with the drafting of a major project.   Probably it's just a problem of reading and shared final project on will play well.  If the abandonment issue bothers you, your idea of dividing two projects while you work on it is good.   You can join the two projects together when you're ready to share it.  (You can take a video of 2 hours on a standard DVD disc, this project of 1 hour adapt you very well if you want to keep onto a single disc.)  As you mentioned, don't forget to save or duplicate your original project before starting it a re-release and then work on the copy.   That way if something is wrong you still have your original intact.

    I'm not as familiar with Mi9 I am with the current iM10.1.2 version, so I will let others answer additional questions.

    Have fun

  • Is it possible to copy an iMovie project, and I therefore two versions to work with?

    I have an iMovie project finished with background music. I would like to have two versions - one with background music - and one without having to redo the entire film. I see "duplicate" as an option in the drop-down menu editing, but it is not an option to select. I also tried to copy the file from the Finder window, but I can't find the file of real project through the Finder window.

    Work on iMac 10.9.5, iMovie 10.0.5.

  • El Capitan installed a few weeks ago.  Tried to open iMovie project and it does not show the photos in the Viewer window

    After installing El Capitan and all it seems to also work well, I needed to update an iMovie project.  When I opened the project, I could not link to one of the photos in the Viewer window.  I also could not start a new project since photos that I let fall into the project would not show either.

  • Sound of the iTunes to the iMovie project

    changed to MBP 10.11.4 El Capitan of MBP 10.6.8

    Hello

    I'm working on an iMovie project, and to use the music that I have purchased through iTunes and downloaded.

    However, some of the titles are protected and not available, they are however on my old MBP.

    When I drag the title of the project, there is no sound.

    The number of protected titles varies, at the time where it says 91 titles, yesterday, it was a title.

    When checking information it says protected AAC audio file.

    I can't understand why I bought these titles and how to use them.

    Thanks for any help that can be provided.

    are 91 protected titles are not available! And I do not know what are the titles here!

  • Where is the iMovie projects folder on the new iMovie 10.1.1 App?

    I'm going through a project for a new Mac iMovie folder (with all the latest news app) on an external hard drive so that I can give it to a friend to change. I type in the iMovie projects in my search for spotlight on Finder and it does not appear. My old mac computer doesn't have this problem. It appears in the older Mac. My new Mac using iMovie version 10.1.1 and my old iMovie 10.0.5. Does anyone know of a solution on what I should look for or how to find it?

    -Justin

    iMovie 10 has more iMovie and records events iMovie projects.  Everything is inside a package with the .imovielibrary extension.  Its default location is the users / < username > / films.  For more information, see: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/mov3fa25bae7

    If want to use it on another computer, the computer must use the same version of iMovie.  If you are using media from another library (for example, Photos, iTunes, etc.), you will have to "consolidate the library first.  See: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/mov882dee351

  • iMovie project file

    How can I save a project as an 'iMovie project file' and share it with others so that they can change whatever they want in it? Using iMovie 10.1.1

    Do not save as a project file option as in iMovie iPad.

    Don't see anything in the events of iMovie folder.

    You must share a comprehensive library, if you create a library containing only the desired project and its associated events.  Note that other people must use exactly the same version of iMovie and if you have media from your library which comes from the library from another application (for example. Photos) must be "consolidated" library.  See: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/mov882dee351

    Frankly, this is not a simple thing or practice to do so.

  • IMovie projects update automatically in iTunes

    I've been updating old iMovie do these automatically up-to-date movies in iTunes?

    You don't have to update the iMovie projects that need to be edited in the future versions of iMovie.  Shared once the project becomes a simple video file which requires no updates.  iTunes has only these shared files.

  • is no longer able to view, edit, or play the old imovie projects

    Hi, the week last after the purchase of the 6 new iPhone and needing access to iCloud, I have finally updated my most old iMac (late 2009) to OSX El Capitan.

    Model of card:

    Processor Intel Core 2 Duo 3.06 GHz with 3 MB of cache shared N2;

    4GB (2 GB SO - DIMMS) of 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM; four SO-DIMM slots support up to 16 GB;

    • Processor graphics from NVIDIA GeForce 9400 M with 256 MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with memory principale3;
    • 500 GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA hard drive

    Overall, my machine works fine. However, I went to upload the new video to iMovie and found 1). I still have the old version of iMovie ' 09 (version 8.0.6), but it no longer recognizes my external hard drive (drive FreeAgent GoFlex 1.5 with 500 GB available to), what I have stored at 100% of my video, iMovie projects and events. According to me, the issue may be that Quicktime Player has updated and can no longer read the files, but I don't know how to do this, to be able to display, use, play my old videos or store new.

    Can someone help me?

    How is your external hard drive formatted?  It must be what OS X extended (not FAT or NFTS).    Your iMovie events and project files must also be at the root of the drive.

    More importantly many people is reporting that versions prior to version 10 iMovie will not work correctly with El Capitan.
