SDcards import in iMovie

Hello

This may seem a stupid question, but I have to ask, my camcorder records videos in SD and HD cards, but it does not appear as a compatible videocam in the lists on the Apple site.

So the question is can I remove the memory cards, insert into a card reader and port in Imove vCard directly rather than plug the cam?

see you soon

Eric

If the SD card is displayed as a removable drive in the Finder, you can open a Finder window and copy the files, if "file > Import Media" will not display video clips in iMovie.

An SD in the Finder:

File > import in iMovie for the same Media card:

But if the camera is not listed as compatible, the reason could be that iMovie can't handle video codecs.

Then, copy the files from the card and use a video converter to convert it to a compatible format.

  • Videos of imported into iMovie iPhone and turn green.

    When I import videos from iPhone5s in iMovie 11 on my Mac, they become green. This only started happening after I upgraded to El Capitan.

    It doesn't, also with videos that I created using applications such as Cinematic. This happens ONLY when it's just the ordinary video camera on the iPhone.

    How can I fix? I wish that I never upgraded to El Capitan. Everything is messed up.

    iMovie 11 (version 9) is not completely compatible with El Capitan.  The only solution is to update iMovie 10.1.2.

  • videos imported to imovie are green

    Hello

    I took a few videos with my phone Samsung Galaxy S3 and they downloaded on my Mac. I use iMovie to splice the 5 shorts into one video. For some reason when I import videos using iMovie, the videos do not appear for the edition that I saw in some tutorial videos on YouTube. All I see is green when I should see screenshots. I can click play and hear the audio, but I am unable to see the video. Is it possible to fix this? Thank you

    Looks like you are trying to use iMovie 11 (version 9.0.x) with El Capitan. IMovie 11 is unfortunately not compatible with El Capitan. Green or black pictures, among other problems are because of the incompatibility. 10.1.1 iMovie is the only compatible version. Suggest that you upgrade to 10.1.1. If you have version 9.0.9 is a free update.

  • How to export iMovie which has not yet been imported to an iMovie media?

    I imported my Sony Hancam files directly into iMovie.  It's the only way that the iMac will recognize my video files of both a new and old Sony Handycam I have.

    Therefore, these files have been imported into iMovie, but I do not want to change everything in iMovie.  Picture of a family day, I did an iMovie containing approximately 10% of the images taken that day here.  I don't want to remove the remaining 90%, but I would like to put these files unused original in a folder in case I want to view them in the future.  How can I get these files out of iMovie and what program I need to download to make them recognizable on my iMac?  I think they are stored on an external hard drive because they take all my HARD drive on my iMac workspace.

    In the past I had to use the brake hand and/or Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate to convert files in a format that iMovie would recognize.  These files downloaded from my Hancam would go in folders in the Finder, from there, I would use the above-mentioned applications to convert the files I wanted imported into iMovie.  My old iMac recognized all the files in the original format from the camcorder and I could play using VLC.  This new iMac does not even recognize these video files to the video camera unless I directly import into iMovie.

    Hope that all of the senses and that someone can provide some tips.  Thank you

    Try to select the unused clip in the library panel and then selecting file/reveal in Finder.   If the clip is displayed in the pop up you can drag to a folder and put it where you want.  You should be able to click on it and play without any additional software.

  • 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.

  • Can I really not import the Photos app in iMovie?

    Hello

    I use iMovie 10.0.8 on a Macbook Pro running El Capitan 10.11.4. I am the only user of this Mac and its running in standard mode administrator/Overlord. There is no guest user account, or anything else.

    I have a Nikon camera, when I import pictures and video of the Nikon, it goes directly into the program the picture of Apple. It is very good.

    However, when I want to import photos or video in iMovie he won't let me. I have to physically move the things I want in a new folder on the desktop and then iMovie has no problem to see and import.

    Am I stupid? I simply click on the button import into iMovie, look in Macintosh HD but the photos app is grayed out! I just want to be able to empty all in Photos and then import from there, as I want to!

    iMovie shows you all the libraries of pictures in the section 'my media '.

    For example:

    Click on 'My media', and then click the photo library in the sidebar and wait a bit.  Photos will show you every moment, and albums, ready to drag the photos and clips to the timeline of your project.

    My screenshot is iMovie 10.1.2.  You can update iMovie for El Capitan 10-11, 4.

  • How to import Photos album of iMovie.

    I used to be able to import a photo album in iMovie. I would like to edit my pictures, put in order in an album and then imported into iMovie. It was working fine! He kept the order too. Something has changed with the how they upgraded to the Photos and the new iMovie. Now that the easy process seems to be broken. Mac is known for that market. What has happened and is there a work around? So far, it seems to export to office and importation, losing all the work to order the photos in the photos app.   (I already tried to see how it works) I make the slide show of the graduation for the entry into force of the elders in our school. Moving images is not as easy to iMovie, make sure you can see the images and keep photos of student spread so a student does not seem too much time together is easy in Photos. Will this change?

    Correction: The first sentence should be - I used to be able to import an iPhoto album in iMovie. I don't think that I was able to import the Photos app.

  • How to import a video of pictures of imovie?

    Before I upgraded to OS X El Capitan version 10.11.2, my videos automatically appeared in imovie after a simple command prompt.  The only way that I can download now share them to my desktop and then import into imovie.

  • Cannot save the entry camcorder 8 mm on iMovie 10.1.2

    I'm trying to import the old videos from the camcorder into iMovie.

    Videos are played on TR33 Sony video 8 mm Handycam (analog) through a Sony TRV 22 Hi portable (digital) 8. This provides the necessary a/d conversion.

    See the video and audio correctly in the window of the events at the time of import. However when I stop importing nothing is saved.

    As a side note, if I import the single (digital) trv22 video, it seems to work as it breaks the clamps in individual events based on time.

    The literature seems to say a widow pop up asking where to store the video should appear when importing. However I don't see that.

    Have iMac with El Capitan 10.11.6

    iMovie 10.1.2

    This problem appeared in the discussions here and in FCPX. The cause of the lack of registration is due to the lack of timecode that iMovie requires. In switch mode there is no timecode of the TRV 22. The solution is to record the video to Handicap the TRV 22 and then import in iMovie.

  • Question of iMovie file Structure

    When you use iMovie v10.1.2, I created a project, completed, and then shared it in a single file.

    Then I went back to iMovie and depending on the projects that I have deleted to save space on the hard disk.

    When I returned in the media view, I saw iMovie has created an 'event' with the same project files that I just deleted.

    This is the example of the scenario I have:

    -J' have created a 'event' 'x' folder and downloaded video files from my camera in the folder

    -J' then I created a project 'y' and edited clips using video files of 'x' folder event

    -J' then shared the project 'y' in a single mp4 file

    -In view of the project, I then deleted project 'y '.

    -When I got to the media view, I saw I have now my record original event 'x' and also noticed that iMovie has automatically created and the event file containing the items that I used in the project 'y', using the same file name for the event that the project folder

    Now, I think I have a double to the top of the same event files in 2 folders separate event 'x' and 'y', is this correct, and why does do this?

    I need to save space on my drive hard while I was trying to delete the folder 'y' in the media view that iMovie created automatically, what worries me is if the iMovie connects the files in the two events 'x' and 'y' or they just separate event files where delete the event folder of 'y' will have no impact on the event of 'x' folder where I originally downloaded video clips to?

    iMovie creates a media event for each project. When you add media to the project, it goes in the media event of the project. When you delete the project does not remove the media event of the project. You must do so separately. If you have created the event x folder in the finder and downloaded into it and then imported into iMovie from it you should see no impact to it by removing the multimedia project file. If you imported using import iMovie window and created the event x folder by using the import window you should see it in the sidebar as a library of events. removal of the media event of the project does not affect it. It is my understanding of the works of iMovie.

  • 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.
