How do you export a video on iMovie for MacBook and not make it look so compressed with many pixels?

[jdogbeck1]

Can you make MW2 montages with IMovie

Thanks for the great review!

[TheRudeAwakeningsz]

[HorizonGeetar93]

this was very helpful! thanks for the demo

[BobZOMG84]

hey.. u got Aliens soundtrack?? nice..

[ds111890]

Thumbs up for the grateful dead!

[Glitchman112]

This is a dum question but what exact firmware do you need because a lot of video editing software for the app stor is 4.2 and up I only have 4.1

[98westley]

On iMovie for Mac you are also able to make some Trailers, is this possible for iMovie for iOS ??

[BeautyBoyTV]

This app is fucking amazing for what it is. Honestly it's easier to edit an HD video on my iPhone than it is on my computer (I have Windows, and every video editing program on Windows is either too limited or OVERLY complicated).

[GaliaSita]

Pls i need help what is the Name of this Video Programm what He use for this Video

[LouisArturo]

@GaliaSita imovie

[majorghn]

Is their a way to start the theme music on the second clip instead of the first? I don 't want the music to start right away, I have sound effects starting on the first clip, the music screws it up!! Also it would be nice if Apple would let us fade the music clip in at the beginning and fade out at the end!!

[orrin4]

^I like how the uploader comments are short and to the point lol.

[MrStijnification]

large garden

[kazora1001]

iMovie lacks too much.

[LouisArturo]

@kazora1001 therell be an update when ios 5 comes out. Fixes bugs & adds more features!

[iChrisdance]

why when i edit my video some videos are on all the screen and other with black bar on the sides please help me

[MrSuperfly11]

is it free and were do u find it?

[TheBilal354]

can i use the picture in picture or green screen effect on ipod touch?

[DetroitBORG]

@TheBilal354 Nope, those features are not available in iOS.

[cwarnasch]

thank you so much for this video. now i can use imovie and make videos from my phone .

[lilyfishcc]

can you speed, slow, or rewind videos?

[DetroitBORG]

@lilyfishcc Nope.

[phoenixwinch]

when you shorten or lengthen a video clip, does it speed up or slow down the clip OR does it cut the clip/repeat the clip?

[DetroitBORG]

@phoenixwinch It cuts the clip.

[EmmyleeM]

Cute dog :)

[VitageReis]

Great I really loved your movie & explanation. Thanks for your work.

[LekiaLPTBeauty]

Great vid! Do you have an updated one for the new features that have been added?

[MrMooseJawz]

Hey DetroitBORG do you have a son that goes to meads mill

[iPhoneAppsWorldWide]

heyy how can u prevent the text going through the hole video??

[ChAnimations]

@iPhoneAppsWorldWide cut the clip by sliding over it vertically, and assign the title to the first half only

[MrAafl]

what if you have a longer but just one clip

[MrJamesParhas]

how would i put music only for a part of the movie?

[DetroitBORG]

@MrJamesParhas You can't, unfortunately.

[JessicaRoxs97]

Could someone please help me. Ok so i am trying to get the imovie app but it says i need the 4.2.6 update and i have the verizon iphone 4. could i still get imovie for the verizon iphone 4??? And awesome vodeo! Thank you!

[TheDYens]

Hey what program can I use to upload a video on YouTube to my windows movie maker? Pleaseeeeeeee reply. I have asked some people already buy they never replied so can you?

[NoeBernardin]

Thanks! So excited to buy IMovie now =)

[TheDYens]

Can you trim the video on any part of the clip you want

[tubearsiline]

i create video only with iPhone plese search "tubearsiline"

[RideHanna]

Did you shoot the footage on your iphone?

[DetroitBORG]

@RideHanna Yes!

[tibob123]

Can you add text with imovie ?

[DetroitBORG]

@tibob123 You can only add text in the title blocks.

[RyanWillHelpU]

Great video thanks

[theipodtouch511]

About how much space does an iMove edited video take up on an 8GB iPod touch 4? Thanks in advanced

[DetroitBORG]

@theipodtouch511 Depends on the length of the movie and the video quality. A minute takes about 200mb if it's HD.

[theipodtouch511]

@DetroitBORG Thanks for replying, and by the way, your videos are great!

[firebolt120]

Can you choose no theme, with no music in the background

[DetroitBORG]

@firebolt120 Not exactly, you have to select a theme, but you can deactivate all of the elements, such as background music, titles, and transitions.

[TqNftw]

Thank you so much for this.

[DetroitBORG]

@kuyajoshh That is peculiar and I can't figure out what is causing that. You mean you have Location services on but you can't change the setting for individual apps?

[DaisyLove72]

Thanks! Just wondering if there is a maximum as to how long the imovie you make can be?

[DetroitBORG]

@DaisyLove72 I'm pretty sure you are only limited by the capacity on the iPhone.

[pcferret]

Nice tutorial, great app. Thank you.

[coolztuff1]

thanx dude u earned a subscriber

[DetroitBORG]

@coolztuff1 Great, thanks. I'm actually working on an iPad 2 version of this tutorial.

[tanddant]

i am giving tha app away: youtube.com/watch?v=dGYohsimIW­o

[ryanwp69]

can u do stopmotion movies and use a recording as song on your video and can u import videos you already made on your iphone and use it on the imovie app for editing?

[Evanz111]

Can you pan and zoom on videos or just photos?

[DetroitBORG]

@Misakyan2 You can't do that in the iMovie app.

[BoxCarRacer22]

thanks for the vid! very helpful! great app by the way! has room for improvement but a great start for sure.

[DetroitBORG]

@BoxCarRacer22 There should be a big update coming on March 11th when the iPad version is launched.

[MrRobloMan]

Why won't I get the stuff at 2:21?

[breyannejay]

hi how come on my iphone 4 the imovie didnt came with it..do you need to buy the apps?

[DetroitBORG]

@breyannejay Many Apple apps are not included, I'm sure they have reasons to charge or make them optional.

[mrklee710]

hey great vid. is there a way to put an audio clip for a specific video clip and not have it run through the whole movie?

[DetroitBORG]

@mrklee710 Unfortunately not at this time.

[emilieclarke]

Omg SO helpful thank-you!

I've favorited this video so I can watch it multiple times to get my editing just right.

PS you have a beautiful garden and adorable pup!

[DetroitBORG]

@emilieclarke Awesome, glad to hear it!

[adizzzleV3]

how come every video i watch about the iPhone4 it has the like percent for the battery, mine does not have that lol

[DetroitBORG]

@adizzzleV3 You have to activate it under Settings.

[adizzzleV3]

@DetroitBORG ive looked everywhere under settings lol, where do i go?

[DetroitBORG]

@adizzzleV3 Settings-General-Usage

[DetroitBORG]

@adizzzleV3 Settings-General-Usage

[adizzzleV3]

@DetroitBORG hahahaha i found it like 5 minutes ago. thanks man.

[vistajoel]

@adizzzleV3 It only works if the iPhone is jailbroken.

[IsThatBen]

@vistajoel no it works if its un-jailbroken aswell! mine works and it isn't jailbroken...

[Silverhedgehog1000]

I only use it whenever I'm in a trip to Maybe Universal Studios Singapore (Resorts world sentosa) or other countries for those who haven't been to Singapore yes there Is a Universal studios and it has the worlds tallest dueling roller coaster Battlestar galactica

[2Exotic2Fly2High]

Can you cut out certain clips, instead of the whole 40 sec clip i have. like take out like 2 sec of it. i would like a video please?

[DetroitBORG]

@2Exotic2Fly2High Yes, just swipe down on the time line and you can make the cut, and then scrub the ends to remove the segment.

[Mr360iModz]

Thanks. Very Helpful

[CocoPrincess16]

can you choose the volume of the music in the background?

[DetroitBORG]

@CocoPrincess16 You can only mute it or duck it under a secondary soundtrack, you can't manually specify the volume.

[unrealistiCouch84]

how do you shorten/trim imported songs?

[samwasful1]

Are the features good are they worth 5.00

[DetroitBORG]

@samwasful1 I think so, but it's only valuable to you if you actually use it, I don't know of any video editing software on the iPhone 4 that works better than iMovie.

[DetroitBORG]

@DeathlyGust You only need a theme if you want to add a title block or transitions.

[samwasful1]

Is it worth buying

[DetroitBORG]

@samwasful1 I love the app, but I don't find myself using it that much.

[Superbear66]

NICE VID.

[ggd210]

very good, thanks! :D

[mttrsll7]

cool video man :) found it very helpful i've already made my first video its awesome :)

[DetroitBORG]

@mttrsll7 Excellent, glad it helped!

[ENDL3SS1998]

I was doing the little caption beta thing with google speech thingy. And when you said something like "let me type in demo" it said "but on the titanic them out"

[DetroitBORG]

@ENDL3SS1998 Ha, I know I'm hard to understand and Google agrees! ;)

[Gabodayl]

is there a way of putting two songs?

[DetroitBORG]

@Gabodayl Not at this time.

[TeamNinjaAssassin]

does it have green screen?

[DetroitBORG]

@TeamNinjaAssassin Nope!

[halferuga]

Amazing what things can phones do now

[christian58428]

how long can u record a video

[DetroitBORG]

@christian58428 Until you run out of space.

[shalsagan]

Are we able to rotate video clips with it? Left, Right? Would be grateful if you could let me know. Thanks.

[DetroitBORG]

@shalsagan Rotate the orientation of clips? Nope.

[drunknbull]

is there a slow motion feature? like slowing down the vid more or pics before it switches to the next clip etc

[DetroitBORG]

@drunknbull Nope!

[ThisIsThistv]

is there a way to split/speed up the video?

[DetroitBORG]

@ThisIsThistv Yes, just swipe your finger down over the clip in the timeline to split it.

[FreshieB]

i have a question,

how do you put another song? cus everytime i try, its like -boom-, erase's the first song.

Need help

[DetroitBORG]

@FreshieB You can't sadly, you can only have one soundtrack at a time.

[eloiwells]

@FreshieB here's a way: create a project for the first section with one soundtrack, and export it to your camera roll with just that section complete. Then do the same thing for the next section with a different soundtrack. Now that you've got two videos in your camera roll, create a new iMovie project and add both videos without replacing the soundtracks, then export your finished video as a single movie with multiple soundtracks.

[kjer0nanny0slut]

ive got a song and video, but how do i adjust the volume of either of these 2?

[DetroitBORG]

@kjer0nanny0slut You can't, you can play the soundtrack over the video audio, or turn the video audio off.

[Cincereb]

great video thx for all the great info..

[sctarheel230]

How can I use a specific mp3 for a specific part of my movie but not for the whole video?

[DetroitBORG]

@sctarheel230 Unfortunately you can't edit the soundtrack at all.

[chessdude67]

Well done! Thank you for a GREAT demo! I looked at three other videos on this topic and yours is the best by far!

So, you have a new subscriber. :-)

Question: I like the music that come with it, just wondering if any free music comes with the new imovie 11 for my iMac?

Thanks,

Tim

[DetroitBORG]

@chessdude67 Thank you, glad you found this tutorial useful. And iMovie '11 has several themes with music tracks, of course you can do MUCH more in iMovie on a Mac.

[h4x0y]

awesome app! except one thing: it needs location services to be turned on to access your LOCAL video/photo gallery - doesnt make any sense. two questions:

1. how to put some text on photo's?

2. how to cut the audio bar and insert a second music track?

[DetroitBORG]

@h4x0y You can't do either with the current version of the app.

[Superipodtouch]

What firmware you have?¿

[DetroitBORG]

@Superipodtouch This tutorial predates the updates.

[appleforever100]

QUESTION! PLEASE ANSWER: how can i Import Videos recorded with the iPhone or iPod touch into iMovie on my Mac? Because i think you did that As well. Would Be awesome if you could answer.

[DetroitBORG]

@appleforever100 You can use the iPhoto software to import the videos and photos from your iPod or iPhone, and from iMovie you can import the videos from iPhoto.

[appleforever100]

thanx. Much appreacheded. But how can i import to iphoto. and how to export it to imovie. i never used iphoto

[DetroitBORG]

@appleforever100 In that case, you may want to search tutorials online which will walk through the steps.

[FCScreencasts]

@appleforever100 You can also use the Image Capture application. It comes preinstalled with every mac. It is a much quicker way than having to go through iPhoto first, and then using iMovie. With Image Capture you just drag and drop images and video to wherever you need.

[MattKosloskiiPhone]

how do you cut one clip

[DetroitBORG]

@MattKosloskiiPhone Swipe your finger down over clip at the point you want to make the cut. It can be a little tricky (at least for me it doesn't always work the first time). This feature wasn't available at the time i shot this tutorial.

[Silverhedgehog1000]

DetroitBORG is it possible to upload HD video from the iPhone to iMovie 11 because I was thinking to get iLife 11 for my Dad because he has a MacBook (2008 version)

[DetroitBORG]

@Silverhedgehog1000 Yes!

[blahgli]

are you from detroit, because your name is detroitBORG. just curious.

thanks for the video. i had a hard figuring out how to use this haha.

[DetroitBORG]

@blahgli I'm from suburban Detroit, not the city itself.

[Silverhedgehog1000]

I bought the iMovie app immediately After I activated it was awesome BTW did you receive a friend request in game center from me

[DetroitBORG]

@Silverhedgehog1000 Yes, I accepted all requests.

[greatsimplesites]

QUESTIONS:

Can you upload a video that you make in iMovie to YouTube?

Can you save it back to your videos?

Thanks!

[DetroitBORG]

@greatsimplesites You actually save the video to your videos first, and from there you upload the video to YouTube. You never upload the video directly from the app.

[greatsimplesites]

@DetroitBORG Thanks so much!

[applerocks1824]

Nice flowers and plants, and thanks for tutorial, really descriptive.

[DetroitBORG]

@applerocks1824 Thanks, glad to help! Of course, now that it's November, ALL of that is gone :(

[applerocks1824]

@fergnrlp You have to shoot video from iPhone camera.

[fergnrlp]

can you use videos from another camera or only videos shoot in the iphone?

[DetroitBORG]

@nonoyatienza You can only turn the clip's audio on or off, but if you have a music track you can't mute it for the clip.

[SkullcandifiedDj]

Some random dog yawned at the end lol, but thanks dude that helped

[DetroitBORG]

@SkullcandifiedDj Thatnks, that's my dog ;) 

[reggiebushfan25]

is there a way to put your music into the video?

[DetroitBORG]

@reggiebushfan25 Yes, just sync it to itunes and add it to your iPhone/iPod.

[kasuskasus]

Thanks for the video! I'm gonna buy this app now.
