Older videos, latest iMovie

I have some videos that were made with an older version of iMovie about 10 years ago. Now I want to change them, but my current version of iMovie (9.0.9) will not work with them. I have here a way to make them compatible?

If the videos were shared (exported) you can import them into your current version for editing.  If they are projects that have not been disclosed and iMovie 9 cannot update, then you need to export it first using your older version of iMovie.  If you do not have all what you can do is go to the events folder, extract the original media, import into iMovie 9 and start editing again from scratch.

  • 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 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.

  • is it possible to organize videos Theater iMovie

    Videos in iMovie theater can be organized into groups, for example, the way apps on iPhone may come across other applications and it allows you to appoint a group to hold these applications?  Or maybe in some other way other than just in newest to oldest?

    You can group the videos in folders in the Finder, but even I know there is no way to do within the iMovie app.  I'm sure someone on this forum will correct me if I'm wrong.

  • 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).

  • Cannot open iMovie 10.1 since update to El Capitan. It starts to load, and then closes unexpectedly everytime. Older version of iMovie (8.0.6) still works. Any suggestions?

    Cannot open iMovie 10.1 since update to El Capitan. It starts to load, and then closes unexpectedly everytime. Older version of iMovie (8.0.6) still works. Any suggestions?

    Try starting with the ALT key down.  It waits for you to choose a library to open it.  If it does not open your library then there is something wrong with the library.

    Try running after have connected you to your computer under another account if it works, there is something wrong with the configuration of your account

    Try to remove and then reinstall iMovie

  • Older video card support in Win7.

    I have a noob question: I have an old computer with Windows 7, and I have 2 older video cards. One is a RIVIA Nvidia TNT2/TNT2 Pro (32 MB of VRAM), and the other is a 3Dfx VooDoo3 3000 (16 MB of VRAM). That I would get better performance with? I know that both cards were good for their time (Voodoo still reigns supreme), but seriously, who would have get me better performance?

    Probably neither, frankly.  Either use an only VGA drivers Windows default if there is no Windows 7 drivers, so no benefit performance on the other goes directly into the sewers.

  • I can't export the videos to iMovie on my iPhone

    Product name: iPhone 6 s and the latest version of iMovie

    Storage capacity: 128 MB

    I created a trailer and wish to export to a video clip. However, export any channel I chose, the export would suddenly suspend. Then an error message appears on the screen.

    Thank you!

    I doubt I have a solution for you, but you must at least share the text of the error message in case it means something to someone else. It can help to close all applications and restart the device before attempting to export. If you can export to iTunes, you should be able to copy the project using the file share space on the page applications on your device when it is connected to iTunes.

  • How can I burn a DVD using the latest iMovie?

    I'm used to be able to export my iMovie as files DV videos.  I want to retain the original quality without compression.   This is no longer the case with the new iMovie app.  The only choice now is to 'Share' and the same year, when sharing, I always get a message of failure on the part.  I watched the video recorded in my iMovie file and saw that it was only the edited video.  Everything stops, I added was not in the video, but they were in the folder as separate items.  I used to be able to just drop the video filled in iDVD and let this app the rest.  What is the best method to use?  My iDVD crashes now.  Y at - it an application to burn DVDs either free or at a reasonable price?  It's urgent!  I have a project planned for delivery in a few days!

    To burn a DVD with the latest version of iMovie's iDVD, you must export the movie using the export button and select 480 p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, and then drag this file in the sequence exported to iDVD menu window, avoiding the drop areas that see you.
