PC/Mac Situation
« on: May 21, 2005, 07:21:52 PM »
Sorry if this is sketchy. I feel like sh*t.

so we had to make a movie in my english class, and we could only work on it in class because we could all be there as a group and what-not. Anyway, the only computers the teachers has is mac\'s. And we did all of the movie editing in imovie.

We later found out that the person who did the filming is retarded and the audio is horrible so we had to mute everything and do a narrative through the whole movie. So we burned what we had on a DVD-R from the mac, i recorded the narrative at my house and burned it on a CD-R. Then i was going to just find someone with a mac, put the narrative and the movie on their harddrive and combine the two in imovie, burn a DVD with the narrative and the movie as 1 whole thing.

Problem: My 1 friend that has a mac bailed on me this weekend, and all the libraries are closed.

Is there any way to maybe use the info from the mac cd with all the transitions/effects/movie, use the narrative from the cd-r, and use a PC program that can combine the two? or am i stuck with using a Mac?

The reason i can use the narrative i recorded on a PC is because its only a music file. But the DVD-R that has the movie itself on it is from the mac, which from what i know cant be edited on a PC (it can be played on a PC because theres a quicktime file of it, but its really choppy).

My final resort is to go in monday morning and go to his class before school. The problem is it takes really long to burn on his slow ass mac, theres going to be other groups rushing like us, and im not 100% sure when the teacher will be there that morning. So that plan can easily go to hell.

Mac uses quicktime so I don\'t know why you can\'t use a PC.  There are probably trial versions of Vegas out there.  Vegas can take virtually anything and put it directly on the timeline.
