meant to update y'all the other day yeah i tried file > import movies (i swear this did not work 2 months ago) and it worked didn't bring the files in straight like from iphoto (which is what it should f...@#$% do) it converts the file to Apple Intermediate Codec and puts a copy in the project folder which is fine if that's what it needs to do i just wish it was smarter like if i dragged it into the program (ala imovie06) it would just convert and be ready to edit or it saw it in photo like David Lee King can.
PLUS we taught a workshop with a bunch of college students who used the flip and 75% of the mac users could bring the clips in fine (other 25% had to use MPEG Streamclip) 99% of the PC users could bring the clips into Movie Maker fine (which also was not the case when i tested this 2 months ago) -ryanne -- 508-264-0562 http://RyanIsHungry.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/ryanne AIM: VideoRodeo On Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 3:21 PM, Markus Sandy<markus.sa...@mac.com> wrote: > > > > On Jul 2, 2009, at 11:57 AM, ryanne hodson wrote: > >> i really don't know what the deal is >> i can't get any flip clips to be recognized my imovie 09 v.0.8.3 >> they're in my iphoto >> and imovie refuses to see them. >> it brings Xacti Mp4s in fine. >> i even tried one of David Lee King's clips. > > interesting > usually, i use import in imovie and it works fine with flip hd .MP4's > > so I just tried importing to iphoto. it imported to iphoto ok, but I > don't see the video in imovie under photos last import! > > have you tried file | import | movies in imovie? > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > >
