  • Importing video into Imovie Photos

    Hey,.

    Since IPhoto has been replaced by pictures I can't understand how to import the video I took on my phone in uploaded photos.

    I use IMovie 10.1.2 and ElCapitan 10.11.5.

    IMovie opens well and all the media I had in the past is there and usable. I can't drag Photos videos in IMovie and when I try to import in this I can't open pictures and see new videos.

    I promised my girls coach I would burn the video on DVD from our last game of gold medal to show our team party end year tomorrow. '

    I'm desperate! Can anyone help?

    I'd still be for in your debt!

    I can see the videos in my library of Photos in iMovie, like this while watching a project:

    • Select the photo library in the sidebar with the libraries.  Wait.
    • Set the switch on 'Albums' and select one of my albums, that contains only videos:

    This will allow me to drag video clips in the timeline.

    Is your library of Photos stored locally or a library iCloud?  If the videos are only in iCloud, select the videos you want to use in iMovie and use "file > export > export original...". "to export your videos in a folder on the desktop.  Then add them in here to your iMovie project.

    Drag / drop photos won't work, because by dragging will export just a preview of the edited version.  It reduces the quality of your videos.

    Added: The menu on the left of the search box should be set to 'All' or 'Video', no pictures. Toggle it to "videos", to ensure that it is excluding videos.

    And if your photo library does not at all appear in iMovie, look at the Photos > Preferences > General.  The option 'Use as system library' must be gray, to indicate that it is your library of photos of current system and other applications can access.

    If you need to change this option, leave pictures and leaving iMovie after you activated.

  • Importing video to iMovie

    Hi this issue seem to have developed a lot in the old posts, but not until recently.  I have a GB pro session 4 I used on two separate projects now.  The first, I can not remember if I imported the images first in the pro studio go, then converted and then imported into iMovie.  Anyway which worked well.  Yesterday but I imported directly from my go pro camera to iMovie, which was shot in 720 100 fps.  The reading was really choppy, dropping frames and wasn't good at all.  It's down to the codec that go pro cameras use?  In the future I need import in the studio pro go first, and then convert the file and then edit in iMovie?  I find iMovie offers a few editing features more than the pro studio go.  Want to book several people mentioned the need to convert images pro go into something that is a format can be added to iMovie.  Just wondering if anyone has had more experience than some of the old posts.

    As I sad before the last time I used iMovie was nice, but I don't remember how I imported the images in the first place, but it worked fine.

    I import my GoPro and all my camera photos and videos using the Image Capture in a file, and then import the iMovie folder, but the 100 frames per second could be the problem, I'm not sure iMovie supports that the pace and he could try to work around him give the choppy video.

  • removal of clips video iOS iMovie

    I import video into iMovie on my iPad air 2 on USB. I edit the project, and then export it back.

    I delete the project, to make room for the next project, but none of the clips are removed.

    I must therefore delete iMovie on the iPad and then back - probably, I'm missing something - this may not be the only way to remove the clips?

    If you are using the latest version of iMovie (2.2.3) here is the instructions given in the supporting documents:

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------

    Managing the media copied from another device

    You can change the media used in the projects that have been shared between the devices in the media section of the iMovie library. There you can download the media in your photo library, or remove the media the current device.

    Note: Media projects created in previous versions of iMovie can also be managed in this way.

    1. Tap plans to open the project Viewer, select the project with the media that you want to manage and tap on change.
    2. Press the button add media , then click on videos.
    3. Select iMovie Media.Any appear video clips that are already saved in your photo library.
    4. Tap Edit.Buttons appear on the right side of each clip.
    5. Press the gray download button to save the clip to your photo library.
    6. Press the Red Delete button remove the clip of your local device. Note: If the clip is being used in a project, you must remove it from the timeline before deleting. For more information, see remove a video clip or a picture of a project.

    I think that the process is very similar to previous versions of iMovie, but names/icons may be different.  Hope that helps

  • Importing video on external hard drive

    How to import videos in iMovie that are already on an external hard drive (connection) Thunderbolt. I don't want to move them on HD of the Macbook Air.

    Icebear Hello!

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see you want to access the video files on an external hard drive and not to transfer to the HD on your MB Air. You must import the video into your iMovie library to work with it, but what you can do is move your iMovie library to an external hard drive. Here are some articles on how to do it, according to the version of iMovie that you use.

  • Cannot import videos using Photo Gallery - "the video device is currently in use"

    original title: impossible to import the videos using Photo Gallery

    Whenever I try to import a video with Photo Gallery, I get the message,

    "Importing video.

    The video device is currently in use.  Close any other program that is using the device and try again.  If you need to start import video, turn off your import device and then turn on again. »

    No other program does use the video device I can say.  I tried to restart my computer, but also a gallery of photos of uninstalling and reinstalling, but I can't seem to do anything other than give me this message.

    I use Windows 7 64-bit.  I'm downloading an older video camera, using a firewire cable.

    Anyone have any ideas?  Thank you!

    Personally I remove sd card from the device and try this way.

    Then click on the Start button and the computer.

    Insert the sd card a sd card reader slot is available, if you need to buy one,

    You can access the SDCard like any hard drive, it is the list, and then select open, do a right click

    Manually, copy and paste the files into a new folder.

    If it's an older device, you can try the factory site and search for win 7 drivers for the camera first.

  • Import videos on my iPhone as photos on macbook pro

    When I import videos from my iPhone for pictures on my macbook pro, they read that the videos on my computer, but when I try to upload them to Facebook, Facebook will not identify them and shen I save on my desktop they save as a file image IMG_5438.m4v for example.  Why is this happening?  Shouldn't he 'function' when you import video from your iPhone to your macbook pro?  I don't know what to do please help!  I need to get these videos on Facebook for my direct marketing job. I spent two hours on the phone with 4 different people from Apple yesterday and they couldn't help.

    Are you sure, that the file saved to the desktop is an image?. The file name extension .m4v suggests it's a video. Try to double click on it. It should play. Part e the name of the name of the file will always be IMG, when you import from an iPhone, the file name extension is what counts.

  • Edit 'videos' in iMovie on iOS

    Hi, just trying to do something as simple as editing a video in iMovie on iOS, the video source has been imported through iTunes which is a video made using photos on my Mac which is then exported to a video format in 1080 p. Open the videos on the iPad app and it is classified under 'videos' parts very well. However try to modify the said video in iMovie, it can't import and don't even see.  I guess simply put my question should be how the hell import a video into my iOS device I can then edit in iMovie for iOS.

    Copy the finished film in your app Photos - or - save on iCloud drive - or - he dumped from your Mac to your iPad. You should then be able to access in the media browser in iMovie iOS (as long as they are in a compatible format).

  • Imports lost in iMovie

    I use iMovie 10.1.2 on a mac mini server. I recently imported a wedding video to iMovie. I've skimmed through all the clips to ensure that they were imported to the library. I left it running and had to leave for a while. When I came back, there was a failure of poor. I started the computer and open iMovie. No import and I have already removed the files from the camera.

    Are these files in the computer or I'm just the GROUND?

    Kevin

    If iMovie doesn't display all the clips you imported it might be because the library has been corrupted by the power outage and they might still be in the library (they are likely to have been deleted).

    With the Finder go yo your library package (default location is in your movies folder) and right-click > view the contents of the package.  There will be a folder for each event and each project.  Within each of these folders will be a "Original media" folder which should contain all the clips that have been imported.  If they are not there you've lost them.

    Is they are there after return and I will propose how to proceed from there.

  • Import video 8 Sony DCR-TRV210E PAL

    Hi all

    I would like to import video from my friend E DCR-TRV210 (Sony).

    Importing digital video (iMovie) works very well.

    Import analog Vidoeo (that I assume to be converted by the DCR) works:

    I can see the video online on my screen when I start the import.

    Complete the import...: NOTHING (black screen)

    There are a few files that point to the correct video-name (for example, "test") but no directory

    "Original media" a.s.o..

    Can someone help me, please?

    BTW. : I'm on MAC Pro El Capitan (10.11.3), video comes through fire-wire 400 to fire wire 800 in love at first sight!

    iMovie version 10 requires the timecode for the import.

    Your camcorder product for digital tape timecode but not for the digital conversion analog (cassette Hi8).

    This is the case even when you use the camcorder in pass-through mode. (analog to DV out).

    You can try to use QuickTime Player to record instead of iMovie, it's on your Mac.

    It seems not to need to import timecode.

    How to use QuickTime Player - Apple Support

    Follow the instructions to record a movie and select Maximum quality.

    Then, you need to import the data into iMovie.

    Note that you won't get the scene breaks as you would a digital tape, but a long clip rather making it a bit more tedious to change.

  • HP pavilion 23-q012 all-in-one: can not import video from the camcorder to a lask of firewall do imput port

    I can't import video camcorder do a lask of the firewall port imput. Reserched replacement cable IEEE 1394 with a USB one and found it won't work for video. I tried a dvc 100, but the video editing progrm isn't pinnicle. How can I load the video into the computer, or can I charge my current camera videos? He uses the digital band map memeory for photos only.

    You kind of mutilated the terms, but if the camcorder needs a firewire IEEE 1394, your PC cable card cannot accommodate a.  There may be some devices that claim to USB conversions, but normally, they will not work with a camcorder.  It seems that another PC is going to be necessary or another camera.

    -What this means and how do I fix it so I can import video files to edit?

    =======================================
    Movie Maker has problems with the .mpg files... best bet would be
    to convert the .mpg files before importing the .wmv format.

    Several formats are apparently compatible with
    Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

    Photos - bmp
    Video - wmv or dv - avi
    Music - wma, wav, .wmv

    See the following article:

    Movie Maker 2 - Import MPEG files
    http://www.Papajohn.org/mm2-importing-video-MPEG2.html

    The following freeware can convert:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Format Factory
    http://www.pcfreetime.com/
    (FWIW... you can uncheck
    all the boxes on the last screen)

    After downloading and installing Format Factory...
    Open the program and choose an output folder...
    (this is where you will find your files when they are
    converted)

    Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

    Select "At?" / OK...
    (the? is the format of your choice)

    Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

    That should do it...

    Good luck...
