After reading people's troubles with imovie 3, I'm pretty wary. Still, I'm curious but don't want to get stuck with it if I decide imovie 2 was better, so... Does anyone know a sure fire way to back up iMovie 2? I mean, can I just burn the app straight from the application folder and be...

Hi. Does anybody what file format I would save out of iMovie 3 to burn in Toast to the superdrive. thanks.

I moved my iMovie project files to another volume and now all the files have generic icons and are identified simply as "Document". iMovie will not recognize anything to open. Anyone know what happened? Please do not tell me I have lost all my files now. This is with OS X 10.2.4 and iMovie...

I'm making a movie with multiple audio tracks, and I have them fading in and out at various points by adjusting the volume level. However, when I export to Quicktime format the movie has all three audio tracks going at full blast the whole time. Anyone know what's up with this? Thanks. :)

Hi Guys (and Girls ;-)), A friend of mine imported video from a DV cam-recorder onto a WinXP laptop. Video clips were made on his machine using MS MovieMaker. Result: .WMV files. Since i'm using iMovie, I would like to import the video clips he created with MovieMakee inside iMovie so that...

I'm trying to make a wonderful slide show in iMovie, and I want to add some background music from my iTunes playlist, but iMovie 3 refuses to find iTunes at all! What can I do? I have up-to-date software. Drop down menu to select iTunes says 'iTunes 3.0 not found' I've tried creating a new...

There is an iMovie update available through Software Update. It is version 3.0.2.

I do 30 second bursts of silent video with a still digital camera. Can these be imported into iMovie? and edited? or into Quicktime? and edited?

Hello, Although iMovie is, how should we say, buggy. It is very flexible and free. I was thinking that a thread dedicated to cool or interesting things people have done in iMovie would be useful to us amateur video folk. They can be simple or complex I had made a previous post on how to blend...

I am trying to find "atmospheric", very short (0:10) background sounds such as those used in movies (f.e. thrillers) to create tension and atmosphere. Does anyone have an idea where to find those?

me and my dad were thinking - surely there must be an easier way to get something onto VHS that going thru the DV camera - is it possible to somehow plug the VCR into the puter and export directly to VHS???

You can apply more than one effect to a clip in iMovie 3. I had one where I applied the "Rain" effect and then the "Fairy Dust" to the same clip. The little effect icon on the clip has a 2 in front of it. Everyone probably knew this - but I just discovered it and thought I would pass it along...

This is what I wrote to Apple in the feedback thing for iMovie 3: I recently waited for iMovie3 so that I could import my 8.5 hours of holiday footage from New Zealand. And then put together a DVD. (I've made about 5 DVDs before with iDVD). The problem is, I have a 100GB project with all of my...

I had some iMovie 2 projects with video imported from the Formac Studio at the DV audio rate of 32Khz (that is its hardware-level sampling rate). When I open the projects in iMovie 3 or just use those video clips, the audio sounds like high-pitched screeching. Has anyone else had a similar...

Anyone else having problems with importing VHS video into iMovie 3? The video feed is fine, just as it has always been. The audio feed though is completely toasted. It brings in the audio from the tape, which is good. But it puts a MUCH LOUDER distortion over that track, sounding something...

I've tried to open 4 iMovie projects since I installed iMovie 3.0.1, and in each case it's stalled on reversed clips and sections where the sound had been separated from the video. I've had to force quit it about a dozen times after getting the spinning beachball of death, and overall, it seems...

The following shows how to create a zooming mosaic that blends into the original. Import photos 1) Using MacOSaiX, create a mosaic 2) Import the original and mosaic into iMovie 3) Apply a basic zoom out Ken Burns Effect on the mosaic 4) Do not apply a KBE to the original Blend 5) Drag both...

Man I'm having more problems with iMovie 3 than good things. Here's my main problems: CONS: 1. iMovie now FORCES me to use the Ken Burns effect (in the "Photos" section). I'm sure without a doubt that I don't want to use this feature on every photo!!! So I figure, "no problem, I'll just...

okay it looks awesome. and the whole intergration thing is fantastic - really like it. and the liquid timeline. it just seems a little...slow?
