iMovie HD compression question

by Liz/AK

Jul 14, 2008

Back in May I created a slideshow using iMovie HD of pictures of the students throughout the year. I also included songs that I purchased from iTunes as the background music. The movie will play fine in iMovie, but will then stall when trying to compress. At a certain point during the compression, it will ask me for my password for iTunes, I can then enter it, the compression will finish rather quickly, but none of the songs will be in the compressed movie. I tried putting them on a CD as an audio file and then putting them back on, but that didn't seem to work, it seemed like I still had to get them on there through iTunes. Does anyone know what is going on and how I can correct it?

I would really like to get this thing compressed and put on a CD or DVD and get it off of my computer. Thanks for any help you can give me. Liz/AK

Neal (M) To share. (compress for web). Or save as an archive first (which "finalizes" all the resources).

You are running the last version of iMovie HD (6.0.3)? All updates to Quicktime? and OS?

How much free space do you have on your HD? How much RAM? What OS are you using? (All these can affect compressing)

It's been a while since I used iMovie HD - so I can't get any other info. and Apple's Support servers are slow this a.m.. Have you tried to export as a Quicktime movie before sharring? Movie HD System Requirements

* Macintosh computer with a PowerPC G4, G5, or Intel Core processor * 256 MB of RAM (512 MB recommended) * Mac OS X 10.3.9 or Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later; Mac OS X v10.4.4 required for iMovie themes, real-time effects, and audio effects * High-definition video (HDV) requires 1GHz G4 or faster and a minimum of 512MB of RAM * iTunes 6.0.2 or later and QuickTime 7.0.4 (included with iLife ’06) or later * To use all the iMovie HD 6 features (like themes and "real time" effects) a Quartz Extreme compatible graphics card is required.

Post some more details and I'll see what else I can come up with.
