Troubleshooting Tips for the Common iMovie Issues

iMovie is a video editing software application sold by Apple Inc. for the Mac and iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPad Mini and iPod Touch). Being one of the most known video editing tools, iMovie is easy to use. However, sometimes people still find there are some problems with it. Whenever you encounter problems while using iMovie, you're supposed to calm down and find the solution quickly. Below we're going to discuss about the top iMovie issues you might encounter as well as the solutions.

1. iMovie keeps crashing

The “iMovie keeps crashing” issue may be due to several reasons:

iMovie project files got corrupted - Trash the corrupted files and add the right ones.
Problem in iMovie Cache folder - Trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist. Then creating a new User-Account and log into this. Then iMovie will create all pref. and cache files new and error free.

Preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences.

File codec problem – Convert video files to an iMovie compatible format. iFastime Video Converter Ultimate for Mac can make it an easy job. It enables you to edit videos in iMovie with video and audio perfect playback.(read iMoviesupported formats). Hot search: MP4 to iMovie | Tivo to iMovie | DVD to iMovie

2. Poor camera connection

You will at more than one instance find that your camera's connectivity to the iMovie is not up to the required standards. That is one of the problems that you will with no doubt have to deal with when you are importing your footage directly from the camera. The problem could have arisen from a variety of factors that include incompatibility of the USB cable on either the iMovie or camera.

The best solution for that is replacing the USB cable with another output option like FireWire. If you are using a camcorder, it will require nothing more than using the guidelines given out in the user manual. If followed strictly, it will not be challenging having the camera sync well with the iMovie.

3. Lacks sound

Never take anything for granted that your iMovie project must have quality sound. You will be surprised to note that leave alone having poor quality sound, there will be no sound at all. Wrong preferences can cause this problem so you need to make sure that all the settings are adjusted properly. Another cause can be incompatible format which is not supported by iMovie. The solution will be converting the files to a format that is friendly to iMovie and the sound will play normally, you can use iFastime Video Converter Ultimate for Mac to help you solve this problem by converting videos and audios to iMovie more supported videos and audios quickly on your Mac.

4. Sound in iMovie is out of sync

For best synchronization, it is recommended that 16-bit sound is used with iMovie. If you imported sound with 12-bit audio, change the settings on your camera and then re-import your footage. Then extract the audio from your footage. You can go to the “Edit” menu and click “Select All”. Right click to open the dropdown menu, and select “detach audio”. After that, you can sync them up manually.

5. Files distortion

Whether its video or audio files, they might suffer distortion if the right exporting and importing procedures are not followed. You might get the video quality looking questionable while audio will not be very clear as you expect. To avoid that from happening, make sure you export or import files of right size that the iMovie can handle without damaging the original quality. Also, everything touching on editing has to be done in the timeline and nowhere else. That is the natural editing section in iMovie and any violation will cause file distortion.

6. Can’t import GoPro, Sony, Canon video to iMovie

We found many camera lovers have the problem: can’t import GoPro, Sony, Canon vides especially 4K videos to iMovie well. Here you can give it a try with the iFastime Video Converter Ultimate for Mac to help you covnert these camera recorded HD/4K videos to iMovie editable videos for smooth editing.

Pros
Batch conversion and super fast conversion speed
Safe and clean

Cons
No additional DVD burning functions

2. 2016 Best DVD Rippers for Mac - HandBrake

HandBrake is probably the most well-received free DVD ripping software for Mac, Windows, Ubuntu, etc and the first option to come to mind of people. Through many revisions from 2013, HandBrake Mac 0.10.2 now supports ripping DVD disc/ISO image/VIDEO-TS folder to MP4 and MKV formats, encoded in H.264, H.265, MPEG-4 and MPEG-2. Despite being embedded with only two output formats, it's favored by Mac and Windows users for being free. But without device presets, there would really be much trouble and you'd better be with excellent mathematical calculation skill. In a word, HandBrake Mac DVD ripper is good but not that easy-to-use. Besides, seems like this free DVD ripper is not working on Mac El Capitan, according to some users' feedbacks.

Pros
Preview window: Once you've completed a conversion, you can preview it in a separate window to make sure it's what you had in mind. This allows you to go back and adjust your settings before you save the new file or burn it to a DVD.

Cons
Unattractive interface: The interface of this app is very plain, with many technical-looking input areas when you can add files and specify output preferences. Once you get used to using it, you'll be able to find your way around with little trouble, but initially it can be a little off-putting.

Slow conversions: Conversions through this app weren't terribly speedy, and they often took longer to complete than the clip took to run. While this doesn't need to be a huge drawback, you should know to plan for it.


3. 2016 Best DVD Ripper for Mac - MakeMKV

MakeMKV for Mac performs this task well, but its lack of features and relatively complicated interface may make it a less desirable option for average users.

The program seems to be available as freeware, but its documentation states it is a beta version that will stop functioning after 60 days. It also states that downloading the latest version will reset this time limit. Installation was more complicated than expected and required us to accept a lengthy agreement disclaiming the developer's responsibility for any illegal use. Once MakeMKV for Mac started, there did not appear to be any dedicated instructions, although support for upgrades was present. The program has a number of buttons for its different functions along a top row. For experienced users, this would not be confusing, but the less sophisticated could use additional help. The program recognized the DVD in the optical drive and loaded options, which was a welcome feature. In addition to discs, users can also work with video files. In reading the DVD, the program took a little longer than other, similar programs, but worked well. Unfortunately, there do not appear to be any options for output other than in MKV format, which is disappointing. In addition to conversion, users may also select a streaming option for the movies, but the function is not clear.

Pros

Copies most everything well and quickly

Regularly updated and maintained, solid functionality.

Cons

MakeMKV for Mac's lack of features and complex interface make it a viable option only for a limited number of experienced users.

If you don't need mkvs from your DVDs then no, this isn't going to do much for you

Advertised as free, but it's actually annoy-ware. It will annoy you until you buy it. Or uninstall.

Only copies to MKV so I have to convert from MKV to MPEG-2 or other formats

Interface a little klunky; for "backup," feature, no partial extraction or re-compression for single-layer blanks.

4. 2016 Best DVD Rippers for Mac - Free DVD Ripper


Free DVD Ripper, developed by AnyMP4 Studio, is a free DVD ripper software for Mac OS X 10.6.6 and later. It mainly deals with homemade DVD discs, capable of ripping DVD to popular file format MP4, MOV, M4V, MKV, etc and enabling you to customize the output video. Being easy to use, it is a good free Mac DVD ripper software. We also found out that the best way to download this DVD ripping tool for Mac is through Mac App Sotre. Maybe you have noticed as well that this free app can't bypass DVD copy protections, while most movie DVDs nowadays are strongly encrypted. So download this free DVD ripper on Mac if the DVDs you are about to digitizing are just homemade. Otherwise, we recommend the above four.

Pros
BEWARE OF TROJAN VIRUS WITH THIS DOWNLOAD!

Cons
I downloaded this software, scanned the download and it came back negative, however as soon as the installer opened my McAfee popped up an immediate message stating that a Trojan threat detected and was quarantined.

Divides DVD into multiple files 

Quality at lower level is poor with so-so quality DVDs 

It's very slow.

5. 2016 Best DVD Rippers for Mac - DVDFab

DVDFab is one of the earliest DVD ripper developers in the world. It keeps focusing more on software improvement than advertising. Instead, it wins the market mainly by public praises. So until now, it is still the first choice for some Windows DVD rip software searchers. It combines a DVD ripper, a DVD copy, DVD creator, a Blu-ray ripper, etc together in the install exe. For the DVD ripping part, it is powerful and stable to remove all known DVD copy protections. It embraces DVD, DVD folder and ISO file as input and MPEG-4, DivX, XviD, H.264, AVI, MP4, WMV, DPG, etc. as video output.
