I tried it with the iMovie version I always used (iMovie HD), but that has the same issue, so I doubt if iMovie itself it the problem. The solution may be the same: roll back to when it worked.

The solution may be the same: roll back to when it worked.Īs iMovie was also updated, perhaps Sierra itself is not the issue, but iMovie may be it. Mavericks and Yosemite have disappeared from the Mac AppStore (but perhaps still available as account-linked previous downloads), so I hope you have a local backup?Īs iMovie was also updated, perhaps Sierra itself is not the issue, but iMovie may be it. Fewer minds (developers) will focus on keeping analog-digital converters working, as time goes on, so there will be a cut-off point somewhere to keep things as-is, as change will break the workflow. While a change that breaks PAL compatibility is strange, it is not impossible.

The last version available for Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.x) is version 10.0.5.īe prepared to go back to a version that did work (OS X Mavericks 10.9.x/OS X Yosemite 10.10.x/OS X El Capitan 10.11.x), if macOS Sierra really is the culprit.Addresses an issue which prevented some videos shot on iPhone from appearing in the import window.Fixes an issue which could add a red tint to video imported from some camcorders.Addresses an issue which could lower the volume of clips after transitions.Improves stability when updating libraries created with earlier versions of iMovie.Perhaps in something like final cut but that is too expensive for the simple thing I am trying to do. People say I could use annotations in YouTube but that *****. That's unfortunate because one would think killing a feature like that is not a good idea - you should make it better and not worse.Ĩ) Now I don't know what to do.

Until that time, this is our solution.ġ) I used ScreenFlow to create a one hour MP4.Ģ) I want to have chapter markers so the viewer can zoom to whatever section they want to.ģ) Screenflow actually allows this so I used it.Ĥ) I ran the video on my iMac and to the right of the video controls is a drop down box with all my chapters which work.ĥ) I was excited and emailed the result to my PC since a lot of users will be viewing it on on a PCĦ) Unfortunately Windows Media player does not recognize the chapter markers at all.ħ) I thought I would import my MP4 to iMovie and try to use the chapter markers there but they have been removed. Someday, hopefully, in the future, Apple will provide better tools as they once did in the past.

Basically, these machines are, "frozen in time".

In fact, our organization has gone so far as to set up Mac Minis running 10.9.5, iMovie HD 06, and iDVD for the sole purpose of our movie editing. Using iMovie HD 06 and iDVD I can easily edit a one-hour movie, set my chapter markers, and burn a Hollywood quality M-DISC DVD in less than 30 minutes. That way, you can run iMovie HD 06 or iMovie 09 (and set chapter markers with just one click) as well as iDVD, and use Disk Utilities to burn DVDs (or better yet, the new M-DISCs) with ZERO issues. If you want to do movie editing, and remain in the Apple club, (and I do) you've really got to keep a partition on your hard drive with OS 10.9.5. Problems with photos (they will NOT import) and video skimming us upside down.įor people who want to edit movies in the Mac environment the best course of action is to use an older operating system on your Mac which is quite easy to do.

As I mentioned, the chapters can be added only by time interval, not by precise placement.ĪLSO, be aware that El Capitan and iMovie v9 are NOT compatible. Once it's in the link, right click on the link once, and you will get options to add chapters. Then use the Share menu to share directly to iDVD.Īlternatively, you can drag your Mp4 movie directly to iDVD, adding it by clicking on the + menu on the lower left of the screen, selecting Add Movie in the drop down menu, and then dragging the movie into the resulting drop box on the link that pops up in the screen.

Then play your movie and every time you tap the "p" key on your keyboard you will add a chapter marker at that point. Then open Garage Band, Create a New Project, and drag your Mp4 movie into the screen. Start by exporting your movie to File as an Mp4 on your desktop. In Garage Band you can add the chapters precisely where you want them, whereas in iDVD the Chapters can only be inserted by time intervals, e.g, one every 3 minutes, one every 2 minutes, etc. You can add chapters by moving your movie to Garage Band or by adding them in iDVD before burning.
