How do I reopen a previous project I was working on in imovie?  Please help

I had to work on two imovie projects.  I began the first one and I was about half done.  I had to start the second one so I created a "new project".  I worked on the second one, but now I want to go back to the first one to finish editing.  I go to "Finder" then the "movies" folder, then "imovie projects", then I pick my first movie project I was working on.  Imovie doesn't open the first project, it just goes back to my second project, but I want to edit the first.  So, how do I open a previous project I was working on in imovie?

    iMovie on your Mac  has nothing to do with iCloud storage.  Download and use Find Any File  to search for your iMovie project.  FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, packages and system folders.  If there a file with your file name on it anywhere on the hard drive FAF will find it.
    Do you have Time Machine enabled backing up to an external HD?  This situation is exactly what TM is good at.  It makes hourly backups so you can go back to find and restore the missing file.  All HDs crash at some time or another and having a good backup strategy is the only protection against that.

  • .xmp not recognized by Bridge CS 5.5.  All previous solutions here not working for me.  Please help.

    First of all, this issue has existed for me since CS4.
    When I load an .nef file into photoshop from bridge, it opens in camera raw.  Once I edit that photo and send it to photoshop, an .xmp file is created and those changes should show up in bridge, but they don't.  Looking in my folder of raw files, I can see the .xmp file.
    To make matters more confusing, this only occurs with one of my two cameras.  I have two seemingly identical Nikon D300s DSLRs.  One with a 14mm and one with a 70-200 zoom.  Bridge's issue with failing to recognize .xmp files only occurs with folders that contain photos shot with the camera with the zoom lens.
    I have exhausted all of the solutions I have been able to find on this forum: telling my mac to open .xmp files with Bridge, telling Bridge to always use high quality thumbnails with 100% preview.
    Can someone please help?

    I have exhausted all of the solutions I have been able to find on this forum: telling my mac to open .xmp files with Bridge, telling Bridge to always use high quality thumbnails with 100% preview.
    For several years ago I decided to convert all my CR2 Raw files (I use Canon) to DNG upon ingestion of the files. Not only is DNG an open standard and therefor will it be long supported but mainly because I was growing mad of all the side car XMP files. DNG stores the XMP info into the file itself. No more hidden files no more mistakes in copy files leaving XMP lost in a folder, etc. etc.
    Although it is strange one dSLR has this problem and the other not I don't think it is lens related as Curt kindly suggested. To my knowledge lenses affect the EXIF data and Bridge creates the XMP Data as a sidecar file (by default selected in the Camera Raw preferences) with rating, labeling and ACR settings.
    By default Bridge also does not show hidden items (that XMP files are). Could you double check with Raw files from both cameras next to each other and after having altered them both in ACR (i.e. plus 2 in exposure to make a real difference) and in the Bridge menu view show hidden files (sort Bridge on filename for easy viewing).
    And if one is not showing the altered result could you click on it and with right mouse click menu check 'purge cache for selection and see if this changes things.  (If the changes are there in PS as Curt already asked this might also help)
    Could you also convert both files to DNG (Adobe has a free DNG converter for download (see also this link or Google it):
    http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html
    And could you provide a short summary of the solutions you already tried (all previous solutions is a little vague :-) )
    Having set XMP to open in Bridge is not important, XMP is not meant to be opened by the user, Bridge uses it to read and write but other apps also. For instance I just tested on an old CR2 file with XMP and by default it opens in Adobe Photoshop Elements (also on my system like CS5 Suite, Aperture and Lightroom) as I discovered using the get info command. Bridge wasn't even on the list for possible opening options :-)
    Also 100 % preview will not help, it just slows things down very much because the cache needs much more time to build and the cache file will grow to huge proportions...
    Only if you want to use to compare all files at 100 % you might benefit from that setting.

  • After Mavericks upgrade I lost  the current I Movie project I was working on.  All that is left is the video clips, no photographs, music, transitions or titles. Three weeks work gone!

    I upgraded to Maverick from Mountain Lion.
    I also upgraded the various Apple Software applications that appeared after the upgrade to the operating system.  I opened I Movie to continue work on a project I was working on and as requested I allowed I Movie to update the projects  to allow it to work with the upgrade.
    As it was doing this a dialogue box came up showing an error had been encountered and advised me to quit I movie.  I did this and when I reopened it the project I had been working on had lost all of the photographs, music, transitions and titles.  All that was left were the thirty-seven video clips and nothing else.  Where has all my work gone and how can I retrieve it.

    It should still be on your backup drive. Try reimporting it.

    You've logged into your account and viewed your purchase history and there aren't any error messages shown (e.g. 'problem with a previous purchase'), and you haven't got any purchases due (e.g. pre-orders and/or subscriptions) : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information ?

    What exactly are you seeing on the phone's screen ? If the iTunes icon and cable then the phone is in recovery mode, in which case it's too late to take a new backup or to copy any content off the phone - you will have to connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and reset it back to factory defaults, after which you can restore to the last backup that you took or just resync your content to it

  • Final Cut Pro X: Can't find project I was working on after closing the program

    Recently, I was working on a video in Final Cut, and I had to close it to do something. When I re-opened it, the project I was working on was not there. I have tried looking for folders storing the project, and have found nothing. Any suggestions?

    Are you sure you were working on a project, and not editing in one clip's own timeline? This is a pretty common mistake.

    The 6.1.4 update had nothing to do with this. If it did, then every iPhone with 6.1.4 installed would have the same problem.
    Apple doesn't support downgrading the firmware, which won't change anything.

    You will have to contact the previous owner, only he/she can remove the phone from their account. You don't have any contact details for the person that you bought the phone from, email address, phone number, postal address ? If you can't contact them then you won't be able to reactivate and use the phone.
