It's probably better to run iMovie on the iPad 2, complete with guaranteed-compatible camera, but if you're happy to do a little hacking, then your iPad 1 is certainly up to the job. It just depends on which camera you are using. You may be able to view the clip in the Photos app, but it doesn't show up in the source list of iMovie. But if you have a camera that shoots iPad-compatible movies, you're out of luck. If you have an iPhone, you can shoot movies and import them using the camera connection kit. One final note: Getting footage into iMovie is absurdly complicated. I imagine it may be possible to get rid of this warning using provisioning profiles, but for now just clicking 'cancel' once on each sync works fine.

Syncing then copied those new apps back to the iPad. I have updated other apps on my iPad since installing iMovie, and that went fine. Make a new keynote, then insert the video and there is a setting to play the video on a loop. It appears that this warning only applies to iMovie. The app has been free to those activating new devices for years now. Clicking 'Don't authorize' will delete iMove from your iPad. You just get sent back to this warning after inputting your password. This annoying box will pop up every time you syncĪuthorizing doesn't help.
