macmini256G4 Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Hi, I was wanting to add some mpeg files to my iMovie project. I was going to combine 7 of these files into one iMovie. However, as I dragged each and every file into the clip viewer, iMovie came up with the error. (see attachment) What do you think the error is, and how can I get around it? Thanks, iMovei_eeror.pdf Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36738-imovie-04-error/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
macmini256G4 Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share Posted December 25, 2006 please help, I really want to be able to combine all of those videos Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36738-imovie-04-error/#findComment-261279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macintox Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 (edited) please help, I really want to be able to combine all of those videos Try opening the problematic video into QuickTime Player (registered version) and export the video to MOV format using a lossless or a high quality codec to maintain the quality. Then, import the new file to iMovie. If this doesnt work, your source video may be corrupted.

The main purpose of iMovie is to edit your own home made videos grabbed from your digital camera through firewire port. For more serious uses, I suggest you trying another software like Final Cut Express. There are many useful sharewares available too. Take a look in Apple site, in software tab->video section.
