Why can't I use iMovie with my webcam?

FAQs - Webcam Driver for Mac OS X
You can't use iMovie with a DCam webcam directly because the application accepts only DV input (camcorders). There is a free application called FrameSplicer that will allow you to convert QuickTime movies into DV streams that you can then open in iMovie. The Macam Webcam drivers do not play nicely with the IOXperts drivers. Do not install a Macam driver at the same time as any IOXperts video driver. See similar questions...

Can we use our own editing software, or do we have to use iMovie?

Duke University Froshlife 2007
You may use whatever means you like to edit your movie. If you want to cut it together using duct tape and safety scissors, that's pretty much up to you (but we don't recommend it). Your entry needs to be in the appropriate format (for example, iMovie project file, MiniDV tape) so we can evaluate it and compile it for the big premiere in February. See similar questions...

How do I use a PixelToy animation in my iMovie creations?

LairWare : PixelToy Frequently Asked Questions
To use PixelToy with iMovie, you'll need QuickTime Pro (the $30 paid-for registered version of normal QuickTime). I suggest having the PixelToy window set to 720 x 480 pixels (set in PixelToy's Preferences). Use the "Create Movie..." command from PixelToy's File menu -- normally you will want to use a "Fixed Frame Rate", then after you name your clip you can set other parameters for your movie. Here I suggest "Photo - JPEG" compression with the quality set to almost "Best". See similar questions...

Will I always have to use iMovie/Final Cut to import my video footage?

Can I use Appleworks or iMovie with MyView, MyTV, or MyVideo?

Hauppauge Computer Works: Support
If you use something like Quicktime Pro, you can convert the file to the DV (digital video) format that iMovie uses, and import the file to iMovie this way. Apple has been releasing systems lately that lack analog audio inputs. So far the systems without analog audio are: Solution for audio is to connect separate powered speakers, or headphones directly to the MyTV unit to hear the sound. See similar questions...

iMovie is giving me a message that my segment is too long to import. What should I do?

Miraizon Cinematize 2 FAQ

This import limitation has been removed in iMovie HD (iLife 5), and it is not present in other Apple video programs such as Final Cut Express or Pro.

How is Cinematize different from video editing tools such as Final Cut, iMovie, and Quick Time?

Miraizon Cinematize FAQ
Cinematize is NOT a video editing tool. Usually, people use video editing tools to edit their home videos. Then they might choose to create a DVD using a DVD authoring tool. Cinematize becomes useful after this stage. Cinematize lets you extract a segment or clip back off of the DVD so you can edit it again with a video editing tool. See similar questions...
