How do I move clips from one Event to another?

How do I move clips from one Event to another?
As soon as I got the new iMovie, I started importing clips and making video's. Unfortunately, I hadn't fully understood the Events feature, so all of my clips are in a single "New Event" Event. I have now created several other Events and named them properly and would like to sort all of my clips into their proper "Event" folders. How do you do that?

Ahh, Ok. I actually had to go to Lynda.com to watch a training video of this highly bassackwards maneuver, but now I have it. In other words, while the intuitive thing is to make a new event to hold the clip you want and then open the old event and drag the clip into it's new event, the only way to accomplish this maneuver is to NOT create a new event, but rather, go to the clip AFTER the one you want to move, select it and then Right-Click on it and select SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP (or go to FILE>SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP). Then you wait a few seconds while the program thinks a bit (no feedback it is doing this - just a pause) and then it automatically creates a new event with the clip you wanted. Now just double-click the new event and name it something meaningful.
Thanks for your help!

  • How to copy a clip from one event to another?

    Hi all... I need some help please.
    I have several events with multiple clips in them.
    I want to create a new event.  I would like to COPY multiple different clips to this new event.  I don't want to move clips from the events they are in now.
    I want to do this because I want to put together a movie with several clips that I want to consolidte from several events.  But I don't want to move the clips, I want to copy them into a new event.  So yes, basically have duplicate clips, but in two different events.
    Is this possible?  Please tell me it is
    Thanks.

    Thanks AppleMan... was hoping you would reply.
    Here is my situation.  I have an external hard drive with several years of events (2005-2011).  I want to take several selected clips from those events to put on my internal hard drive.  The clips I want to use for this video (a surprise video for bday too) I want to bring to a Newly created Single event on the hard drive.  This way I have all clips I want to use to make this video in one location.  I don't want to move them from the EHD.
    This way I can work on the video without that EHD (on my MBP). 
    After I am done making the video, I'll likely delete this event with the duplicates.  So it will take up hard drive space for only a few months.  And it won't be tons of clips... just selected ones.
    Thank you!!
    p.s. Wait, if I move them from an EHD to a new single event on IHD, will it move or copy them?  Maybe it does copy them rather than move them?  I don't know.
    The other issue is I have all clips from 2012 on my IHD.  I would like to copy some of those clips to this new event also.  Again, so all clips being used in the video montage are in a single location.  This will be for ease of making video since I will have all clips being used in one location/event.
    Thanks again AppleMan.

  • How can I move clips from one library to another? Clips are still in original drive and not in new drive.

    I am using iMovie 10.0.7 on a 1-week old iMac 27" running Yosemite 10.10.2. I migrated from iMovie 9 on a 2008 iMac running Snow Leopard and updated the libraries and events, etc.
    I have two external drives connected via USB. I want to move / consolidate the library and clips from one of the external drives to the new iMac's 3TB fusion drive. This is to make room on the external drive to run Time Machine backups.
    Apple's instructions on managing libraries and moving/copying clips/events tell me to drag to move between libraries and to Option-drag to copy. However, simply dragging only copies. I find that if I Command-drag the events/clips, I can "move" them. But when I look outside iMovie in the Mac OS X Finder, the event folders and clip files themselves are still sitting in the original drive.
    I'm very perplexed as to how to really move the clips and event structure. Should I manually copy the clips and event folder structure outside of iMovie? I worry I will mess up iMovie's internal record keeping and folder structure information.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Using iPhoto, I want to move photo from one event to another I export it to desktop and then reimport.  Titles and other info vanish; only the original jpg number comes thru.  How do I avoid this?

    Using iPhoto, I want to move photo from one event to another I export it to desktop and then reimport.  Titles and other info vanish; only the original jpg number comes thru.  How do I avoid this?

    Don't do that - flag the photo and go to the target event and use the add flagged photo to selected event command to move it intact within iPhoto

  • How do I move pictures from one library to another?

    How do I move pictures from one library to another?

    For just a few export them out of Library A via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original and import them into Library B.
    However, this will not include any edits or metadata (keywords, titles, etc.) that you've added.
    To get the original image, any edits and all metadata, keywords, titles, descriptions, places, etc., you'll need the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager.  It can copy albums or events from one library to another and keep those items I mentioned earlier with the photos.

    How do I move icons from one screen to another. 

    Hold down on one icon until they start shaking, then drag the icon to the edge of the screen, and the screen should slide to the next one, you can then drop it on that screen or drag it again to the edge to move to the next screen.

    How do I move pictures from one iphone to another?

    Photos in the Camera Roll are included with the iPhone's backup. You can transfer the backup from one iPhone to another which will include all data included with the backup.
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer. After importing from one iPhone, the photos can be transferred to another iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
    Photos in the PhotoStream on one iPhone running iOS 6 can be made available on another iPhone running iOS 6 by creating a shared PhotoStream album, or if the same iCloud account is accessed on both iPhones, the PhotoStream album will be identical on each iPhone.

    How do I move apps from one page to another?

    From a previous thread:
    Touch and hold any icon for a couple of seconds. They'll all start to wobble. Touch and drag the one you want to move to the side of the screen and the next screen will appear; drop the icon on whatever screen you want it on.
    You can also do it quicker in iTunes - connect the phone and click the Apps tab in the main window. You'll see a picture of your phone with the apps laid out. Just click and drag

  • How do you move pictures from one catalog to another?

    How do you move pictures from one catalog to another?  I have just got the program and have moved pictures into the default catalog. I have now created several new catalogs and want to move pics from the default into the new catalogs. I don't see this answer in the general help or my "dummies" book.

    It's not a good idea to create multiple catalogs. For one thing, this defeats the purpose of the Organizer as a way to search for and find your photos; the search can only operate within a single catalog. Also, there are no functions in PSE that work across multiple catalogs. And even though you can "manually" combine the catalogs if you so desire, you lose information such as collection/album membership, stacks, version sets, creations and a few other things.

  • How do I move contacts from one group to another?

    I entered several contacts in address book.  How do I control which group they are assigned to at the time of entry?  The ones I added showed up in my office contacts in Outlook instead of in Hotmail/iCloud.
    Is it possible to move them from one group to another once entered?

    Do the contacts that are not in iCloud belong to an external account such as Gmail, Yahoo or an Exchange account?  Or, do they belong to On My iPhone?
