Imovie 11 project theme.

I'm currently using imovie 11 which should have the trailer project themes but when I go into the themes they are not there. I checked for updates and went on apple software to update it just in case but it said I already had the software installed.
How can I get these if they are meant to be on this version but are not?
Cheers

Sometimes I think you can trick the iMovie installer to put them on the machine. What you want to do is find out where the iMovie installer is. If you got it with your computer, it's very likely on the set of gray colored DVDs that were shipped with your Mac. In that case you can run the installer from the disks by choosing Custom Install from the Mac OS installer disks.

  • I have produced several short iMovie projects and want to link them into a continuous stream on a DVD.  Can it be done?  All of the projects are in my Moblie Me Gallery

    I have produced several short (2 to 3 minute) iMovie projects and want to link them in a continuous stream on a DVD.  The clips are in my Mobile Me gallery.  How can it be done?

    You can do that too, it's all in the iDVD program.
    But first you want to assemble the separate clips into one big long clip. For that you would use iMovie. Share to the Media Browser (choose the Large size). Let it export then quit iMovie.
    Open iDVD, click on the Media button and then the Movies button. Under the iMovie star icon you will see your final assembled clips movie. In the iDVD project window turn on the map view (it's little boxes that look like a flowchart) then drag the iMovie project into the first box:
    You can set the project to startup without a Menu, and then loop continuously as well. Go up to the Advanced Menu then click on the Loop movie option to turn it on.
    Once checked the Loop movie status will appear as curved arrow icon in the Project Window:
    In the lower right corner is the icon indicating this video clip will loop while being played.

  • How do I include the photos in a imovie project to the finished dvd so the users can have access to them?

    I've included alot of old photos in an iMovie project and would like to include them on the finished DVD I create with iDVD. I woud like the users to be able to have access to them so they can print them, store them on their own computer or whatever they would like to do. How would I do this?

    You do this by creating a DVD-ROM section on your DVD. See this explanation from iDVD Help.
    Adding files to the DVD-ROM portion of a disc
    You can let viewers copy files directly from your DVD by adding the files to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc. These files are burned onto the DVD and are accessible when the disc is viewed on either a Windows PC or a Macintosh computer, but not a DVD player.
    You can add any kind of file to the disc. For example, if your disc contains a slideshow, you can add the image files to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc so viewers can download them to their own computers and print them. You can also add a file containing your movie production notes and other “extras.”
    To manually add files to the DVD-ROM part of your disc:
    Choose Advanced > Edit DVD-ROM Contents.
    The DVD-ROM Contents window opens.
    Click Add Files, or click New Folder first if you want to create a folder to put the files in.
    Browse to select your files or folders, then click Open to add them to the disc.
    You can also drag files directly to the DVD-ROM Contents window. When you are done, just close the window.
    When you add a file to the DVD-ROM portion of your disc, before you burn the disc the project contains just a reference to the location of the file on your hard disk, not the actual file. So if you delete a file from your computer or move it from its location after adding it to the DVD-ROM contents, you get a “File not found” message when you try to burn your disc. You can either remove these missing files from the DVD-ROM contents or find them on your computer and put them back in the original location so iDVD can access them.
    As you add files to the DVD-ROM contents, be sure to check the DVD Capacity meter in the Project Info window to find out how many gigabytes of disc space are being used. The Capacity meter shows the disc space taken up by the video portion of the disc as well as the DVD-ROM portion.

  • I have an iMac running system 10.10.3.  I would like to use an external hard drive to save all my iMovie projects.  How do I transfer the files and tell iMovie where to find them?

    How can I move all my iMovie projects to an external hard drive and save all future projects to that same drive without constantly getting the 'can't find files' statement?  I am using iMovie 10.0.7,

    Have a look at the help files on this at:  http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0.8/#/mov3fa25bae7
    You can have multiple libraries if you want and save them anywhere.

  • Need more iMovie '11 project themes

    I need more iMovie '11 project themes.Anyone know where to find some? The 8 project themes that came with iMovie '11 just isn't enough for me,
    MacBook Pro OS X v10.7.5
    thank you

    iMovie '11 doesn't provide for 3rd party plug-ins unfortunately. So we are currently able to work only with the themes provided by Apple.
    You may be able to find something suitable on the App Store, but these are mainly special effects (for example, "Clips FX for iMovie") that can be used in iMovie projects. However, they are not Themes, as such.

  • Imovie won't choose the project themes

    what can i do?

    Hi b.ceci12,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below from the iMovie Help Menu explains the behaviour you should be experiencing when adding themes to your iMovie '11 project:
    Add a theme to your project
    Add a theme
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/movies/en/apple-ilife-imovie-tutorials_add_a_theme- us-20101020_640x360.mov
    If your project isn’t already open (showing in the Project browser), double-click it in the Project Library to open it.
    Choose File > Project Theme.The File menu appears in a light gray bar across the top of your computer screen.
    Select a theme by clicking its thumbnail once; the theme previews automatically in the viewer on the right.  You can click other thumbnails to preview those themes.
    If this behavior isn't what you are experiencing, try adding a theme to a new project.
    If the issue persists, try these troubleshooting resources:

  • Projects themes broken in iMovie 11?

    Since upgrading to iMovie 9.0.9, I am now unable to get the project themes to work.  I thought I may have had a messed up preference file, so I deleted everything... the app, all the preference files, etc.  Reinstalled everything and still cannot get the project themes to work correctly.  Is anyone else having this problem?  Any solutions?

    Sorry, I should have been paying closer attention when I posted this.  The problem I am having is with the Movie Trailers under the Project Themes. When I select one, it NEVER loads in the preview box to the right of the trailers.  I just get that white dial that keeps going around and around.  What has happened?

  • A number of imported photos from iphoto in imovie project all show the same image whilst the preview before dragging them in is correct. What could be the problem?

    A number of photos from iphoto used in imovie project all show the same image when playing back. The previw when clicking and dragging them and also the pictures in the storyline. Yet when playing the clip a previous immage keeps on appearing. What could be the problem?

    You created a mess and there is no solution - with the actions you have taken those photos are gone unless you have access to them from some other source - they existed in two place - in your iPhoto library and on your backup drive - you have traded the backup drive and restore an earlier iPhoto library so all you have is what you have

  • Do you know where you can find more project themes for imovie 11?

    I have enjoyed using the Project Themes in imove 11 and want more to choose from. Do you know of any others? Producted by a third party?

    There are none, as far as I know.
    Apple has not opened up the API to developers.
    You can create your own in Final Cut Pro and Motion, but it is expensive ($350 total) and there is a big learning curve.

  • How do you burn an iMovie project to a DVD without using iDVD themes?

    I created a presentation (slide show with music) in iMovie and need to burn it to a DVD.  When I pull it into iDVD, it forces me to pick a theme which puts more music in.  I just want it the way I have it in iMovie!  How do I do that?

    (From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
    How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
    1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
    Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
    4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
    5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
    Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
    http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
    Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results.  That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option.  Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
    Hope this helps!

  • Why are iMovie events (2400 of them) shown in the iDVD movies pane along with my iMovie projects (12 of them)?

    Why are iMovie events (2400 of them) shown in the iDVD movies pane along with my iMovie projects (12 of them)?

    Sorry about the delay in responding, I've been putting up with a very slow iDVD, but now I'm fed up with it again. My version of iDVD is 7.1.2 (1158) running in Mac OS X, version 10.6.8, with 3.2GHz and i3 processor, 4GB of memory, on a desktop iMac. My version of iMovie'11 is 9.0.4 (1634).
    I can stop iDVD from showing iMovie EVENTS (now 3247 of them) in its Media pane under Movies, by moving the iMovie Events folder from the iMovie folder ( that iDVD ALWAYS looks in) to somewhere else in that Directory (where I store all my data, and which I have named "browning").  But then iMovie can't display the EVENTS, because it is looking in the wrong place. So, how can I save iMovie Events in another folder (not iMovies) but somewhere where iMovie will find them?
    Is there a method to change the default folders for iMovie and/or iDVD? How does iMovie know where the iMovie default directory is?
    Should I put iMovie into the "Main" Mackintosh HD directory?
    The Apple Store in Bath, UK, couldn't help, but surely I'm not the only iDVD user who is annoyed with this process?
    HELP, please

  • Importing clips from iMovie project (they keep ending up in the trash)

    I have never tried to import other clips from another iMovie project before and I just tried it yesterday. This is what I did:
    -I went into the other project and clicked on each individual clip from that project that I wanted (one at a time).
    -I copied that clip and then saved it to the desktop
    -From there I copied those clips to my external drive (which holds the new project that I am working on
    -I then opened up the new project in iMovie
    -I went to File<Import
    -I selected the clips that I had copied over to the external drive
    -I imported them
    -They all showed up fine, they played fine and I was able to edit them and put them into the time line as well
    The problem I face though is after I save the project and exit, the next time I open the project, each of those clips are missing and have been placed in the trash
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks ahead of time for your help!

    It sounds like something may be preventing iMovie from properly saving the project on the external drive. The drive format may be wrong, or third-party software might be causing conflicts. More here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1852869#1852869
    Another possibility is that you are opening the wrong project file saved inside the iMovie 5 project. If your project was originally an iMovie 4 project converted to iMovie 5 that's an easy mistake to make. More here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=1971832
    Note that the copy/export/import routine you used can be simplified enormously. iMovie 5 lets us Copy and Paste clips much more simply. To copy clips from Project A to Project B, open Project A, select all the clips you want copied to Project B, choose Edit > Copy, open Project B, move the playhead where you want to place the clips, and Paste. iMovie will import all the files that support those clips from Project A to Project B. Note that it imports the entire file for the clip, not just the clip itself. That's so the clip inherits all the non-destructive editing features it had in Project A.
    To avoid Project B becoming unnecessarily large, it's important to Copy and Paste all the clips you want together. If you copy two clips at the same time that share the same file iMovie imports their source file just one time. But if you Copy and Paste two clips that share the same source file separately, iMovie imports the same file twice.

  • Moving an iMovie project from one account to another

    I started an iMovie project on my wife's login account but I want to move it to my own login account, including all of the clips and edits associated with the project.  Can I do that?

    When the projects and events are in your wife's account, all those files have permissions assigned that allow her to edit them and no one else. It can be very tricky to alter these permissions and I do not recommend it.
    However, there is a much simpler way. You can copy or move the projects and events to an external drive. From there, you can edit them directly, or you can copy or move them to your user account.
    The reason this works is that external drives do not have permissions set like user accounts do.
    To move or copy to an external drive, follow the instructions here.

  • I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?

    I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?  Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

    This should give you some good insight, I'd probably store them on an External HD on the old machine and then just drag and drop to the new machine.
