iMovie making videos choppy and audio out of sync

[AndrewR23]

Okay Im using a Samsung HMX Q10 and when uploading videos from my camcorder to iMovie 11, the video is very choppy.

Also, the audio doesn't match with the video.

Any help? Thanks guys.

When you "Share" a movie to Quicktime, does the problem go away? Most likely it's a slow computer that is causing the choppy playback in iMovie. When you share the movie to a new Quicktime movie, it will render all the transitions and effects. Your movie should then playback with good audio and video sync.

It can still be the result of a slow system. A slow internal hard drive can cause problems for iMovie.
