Really an iMovie question...well two

[sishan]

This site seems to be more friendlier and responsive than the Apple Discussion forum so I'm posting it here.....

1) I have a video in my still camera which plays fine in iPhoto. But I don't see it under events library in iMovie. The file I think is in .avi format. Does iMovie have any problem with that? Any workaround as I really intend to do some post production on that little video.

2) In iMovie Project window, whenever the mouse hovers on the clips, iMovie tries to "scrub" through them and tries to play every second content of the video/audio which ends up with an irritating screetch . Any way to stop that?

Many thanks

1) Drag that video from iPhoto onto your desktop, then in iMovie you can import movie from the file menu, it will appear in your collection.

2) Hmm, but this is a feature of iMovie. This is done so you can scrub through any episode and then precisely and quickly select the exact region you want. Greatly speeds up video composition.

ahhh....there you go Art! Really appreciate it

1) that sounds easy then...will give it a go

2) hmmm, I also thought so. May be I will learn to accept the easiness and efficiency in having that feature. Need to move my perceptions away from what Pinnacle Studio used to do on Win XP.

Thanks much
