[jdm1982]

That program (MPEG Streamclip) is cool, but it keep crashing on my longer movies and in some cases -- as with an Eric Bana interview with Chelsea Lately, from YouTube (long story) -- even the MPEG Streamclip processed file does not appear in iMovie following an import...

[swingondown]

dude you saved my life, i've been working on a video for a class for 12 hours straight, and its due in 3 hours. i had made a claymation with my still camera, which converts the pictures into a .mov file and when i was all "wooo hoo i'm almost done" i realized imovie wouldnt take them. thank you!!!

[natheyboi13]

IT WORKS!!! haha iv tried loads of ways and this has done it, thanks a lot!

[sifolden]

thanks!!

[chunkyBOBA]

you are a life saver! :O



[pgong8]

when i pull the video into Mpeg streamclip it just shows up as a grey screen with no sound. any suggestions?

[shamelesch]

@pgong8 Try downloading and installing the files i refer to in my comments to the video and the written comments during the video's

[mahreenmirza]

@shamelesch I was too busy looking at how hot you were and totally didnt pay attention..LOL anyhowwwww I converted the movie from youtube etc and when I try to import it into imovie it doesnt import its mp4 format and alll my other videos important but this particular one wont.. any suggestions to why?

[TheShanklinFreakShow]

I made a complete AMV in Windows Movie Maker in 40 minutes today. First time, no probs.

I've been messing about for 2 hours now and I can't even get files into iMovie, let alone try to make anything in it! User friendly my ass. As a Mac user I'm really pissed that iMovie is so limited in what file formats it accepts. Honestly, why make it so limited?! Rah! :-(

[xsimonlarsen]

[shamelesch]

[LtnBravoWise]

[KingsIsleTv]

TY!

[evadrie]

the movie is easy to understand, but do you have to pay for that program? On my computer it does not work as easy as on yours..

als je wilt antwoorden wordt je ook mijn held!!

[shamelesch]

@evadrie heb je het linkje gezien bij de video informatie?

[evadrie]

@shamelesch

dat heb ik gezien en gedownload. Het ziet er precies hetzelfde uit als bij jou, maar als ik een MOD AUDIO FILE importeer dan zegt ie: "The Apple QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component is not installed..." hoe kan ik hem wel installeren zodat ik mijn MOD filmpjes in iMovie kan importeren?

alvast bedankt!

[LegendsofRegi]

is the quality reduced?

[shamelesch]

@LegendsofRegi I haven't noticed it.

[KingsIsleTv]

[CKohls]

Great video. I couldn't get all of my files to work, but one did! Thanks. I love you Dutchies :)

[shamelesch]

What kind of files did you use?? and yes.. we Dutch people are just Awesome ;)

[SyluxLockjaw]

Whenever I try to export it says "Error: can't prepare the movie"

?????

[shamelesch]

What kind of files do you try to export?

[SyluxLockjaw]

I've tried a few different files, but the one I want is an .mp4 I got using an HD youtube downloader site. iMovie gives me its usual importing crap, and MPEG Streamclip just keeps giving me that same error message

[shamelesch]

did you already tried changing .mp4 in .mov? Sometimes this works for me

[SyluxLockjaw]

you mean exporting as a .mov or just changing the file extension?

[shamelesch]

changing the file extension

[SyluxLockjaw]

just tried it but nothing :(
