I’m importing a video from a vhs tape into iMovie. When iMovie senses a scene change or shot change it captures that new shot as another clip in the project. Is there a way so iMovie captures the video as one long video instead of it automatically separating clips?
iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 13.5
Hi,
iMovie captures video with scene breaks. No way to change that. The scene breaks should play seamlessly in the time line even though the video is segmented, assuming that there were no blank frames before and after the scence breaks. Once the video is exported out of iMovie the scene breaks will be stitched together into one clip.
However, you can import your video into the QuickTimePlayer on your Mac, instead of iMovie, and it will import as one continuous movie without scene breaks.

You are welcome. Best of luck with your project.

I didn’t realize you could record with QuickTime. Using that to record is exactly the solution I was looking for.
