Is there a way to open and edit my iMovie HD files with iMovie '09 and later versions?

I am getting ready to update an older iMac from Tiger to Mountain Lion. (Long overdue, I know) I have several files that I created using iMovie HD. After I update, will the new versions of iMovie be able to open and edit my iMovie HD files?

I don't think that iMovie 11 is backwards compatible with iMovie HD 6.
If you still have the install disks for iMovie Hd 6 (iLife 6) you can keep it alongside the newer version:
Happily this is easily achieved, but it has to be done backwards.
Delete iMovie 11 (just drag it to the trash). Now install iMovie 6 from the iLife 6 install disks. Update it to iMovie 6.0.3.
Now re-install iMovie 11. This automatically moves iMovie 6 into a folder it creates in your Applications folder called iMovie Previous Version.
Then reinstall iMovie 11.
iMovie 6 works great with iDVD 7.
Now you have them both, and you can have both in the Dock as well.
Alternatively you could try this method, suggested by poster Uitech:
Open a terminal and type "touch /Library/Preferences/com.apple.iLife011.plist"
(No quotes)
Install iMovieHD6 from the iLife 6 install disk.
This works with both Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs.

  • Is there a way to open up a directory for static files.

    Is there a way to open a specific directory or set of directories up for browsing with WLS 8.1.5 (such as having static .txt,.html files,etc..) without having to deploy some sort of java app to do this.
    Basically we need a quick and dirty way to access files sitting on a specific directory on our Web Server machine. Example is there a way to open up just the directory /home/user/files/video for access?
    Thanks,
    Cash Chitwood

    Well in order to host something I can't see you doing it without having to have a web application? So if you do not have a web application you will probably need to do that and deploy the war I guess even if its an empty war. In which case you can set that parameter I posted about earlier to access your folder?

  • Is there any way to open an iMovie HD file with iMovie 4?

    Subject said it all. My daughter did her iMovie homework on our home computer. When she took the iMovie HD file to school it wouldn't open with their older version of iMovie.

    Hi Lanny
    install iM04 on your home computer :-/ (you can run both apps on one machine, but I recommend to install a second account for your daughter…)
    because iM05 has a totally different system to handle the clips ("non-distructive editing") plus a different file-system (.pkg instead of files+folders) there's no way from 5>>4
    (except, you export the project as a .dv and import that into the other app… but you loose the whole projects info as clips, transitions etc,)
    no, 5+5, 4+4, or 4+5… you can import iM4 projects into iM5… once, single shot only
    besides: great, your kids do such projects!! over here in Germany, we still use chalk and blackboards…

  • Is there any way to track text edits made in pdf file

    i.e. text added/deleted to the pdf and not commented.

    many thanks in advance.

    Not really.  The best you can do is use the Compare Documents function to
    identify such changes after the fact.

  • Is there a way to re-synch a JSF page definition file with a .jspx page?

    I was making changes to my entity object, view object, and then data control on a .jspx page - through all of these changes, the page definition file had information from the old data control and gave errors. I tried 'Rebuild' and I also tried deleting the page definition file to see if it would re-generate - neither of these options worked.
    thanks

    No that is not possible with Muse alone. YOu can host it on Business Catalyst and upgrade the hosting plan to at least the webMarketing plan for general uploading. If it requires each user to have their own profile etc, then you will need to use BC webApps

  • Is there a way to open a hypertext link in my folio?

    No - you would have to rebuild the site in iWeb '06.
    Even if you did this you couldn't update the site built with iWeb '08.
    You need to install iLife '08 on the other computer - why can't you?

  • Is there another way to open a different iPhoto library?

    Is there another way to open a different iPhoto library besides using the option key and clicking on the iPhoto icon? It takes me upwards of a dozen times to get it to work, so I get that screen where I choose which library I want to open - the option key usually just doesn't respond. And since it takes several seconds for my main iPhoto library to shut down everytime it incorrectly opens up, it ends up taking me upwards of a few minutes, and a lot of frustration, by the time the option key suddenly decides to randomly work and I can choose the other library I want. This is iPhoto '09, version 10.6.8, by the way.
    Thanks!

    Of course I understand about double-clicking. but how can I double-click to choose the name of the iPhoto library I want when I cannot reliably get the menu option screen listing my two libraries to come up. As far as where the two libraries are actually stored on my computer, I haven't a clue - I just created the libraries on that iphoto library menu screen at some point in the past when I was setting it up. Is there some other place I could navigate to via Finder to select the library I want? I just don't think I need to spend $20 on software that I don't need - if I has lots of libraries, sure, but most of the time I use just the one library. But it's driving me crazy that when I do switch, I m having such difficulty.
    Thanks :)

  • Is there a way of opening up old PSD documents and photos on the iMac please?

    Is there a way of opening up old PSD documents and photos on the iMac please?

    .psd (photoshop) files should open in preview to view them and make some simple adjustments. 
    If you want to edit them but don't want the expense of buying Photoshop (or Elements) for your Mac, consider downloading Gimp - it's free.

  • Is there a way to edit the same RAW file in Aperture 3 and then Photoshop CS5?

    I recently got Aperture 3.4.5 and its been great for stream-lining my workflow.  But for certain RAW adjustments, like applying a gradient, I want to use Photoshop CS5's RAW editing window.  I don't seem to be able to export the file as a modified CR2 from Aperture to Photoshop CS5.  Is there a way to do this?
    And if exporting a modified CR2 from aperture is not possible, what advice can you give me for applying gradients in aperture, or in combinations with photoshop.  Is there a way to open a JPEG or TIFF in the raw editing window by any chance?
    Any and all advice welcome.  Cheers!
    -Mike

    Is there a way to open a JPEG or TIFF in the raw editing window by any chance?
    If you open Bridge and go into the Camera Raw Preferences, you will see a section at the bottom where you can set preferences for TIFF handling. Setting the option to 'Automatically open all supported TIFFs' will result in any TIFF file sent from Aperture to Photoshop via 'Edit with Photoshop CS5' function being launched in ACR and allow you to work on the TIFF file.
    You then have to open the image in Photoshop with the 'Open' button in ACR and save the file (making sure you have the TIFF file extension set when saving). I haven't used this in a while, but I think it may try to save as a '.tif' file which would not be seen by Aperture when you complete the save (and have a '.tif' file sitting in the Masters folder that has no connection).
    This is still not the RAW file - obviously - but will allow you to use the ACR tools on the TIFF file generated by Aperture and return it with those edits if saved correctly in PS CS5.
