Movie Clips in Event Library not Recognized By Project Library

I downloaded Photos but when working on a project in iMovie 9 my iPhoto videos were not found.  However if I revert to using iPhoto I regain my ability to move selected photos into my iMovie project so for now I will simply not use Photos.  However I still have a problem.  The movie clips in the projects in my Project Library don't find the clips in the Event Library in the iPhoto Videos folder.  I see either:  "This clip's media file is not currently available" or "Source clip is missing."  Is there some way to refresh iMovie?  Fortunately the projects shared to iTunes are still intact.

Many who post here use Preference Manager from DIgital Rebellion to trash preferences. It's reliable and the price is right – free.
I assume you've tried different events on different drives and the no-playback problem persists.
And just out of curiosity, can you play clips in a project timeline or if you open the clip in its own time line? And does the skimmer skim?

    Let us start from the beginning.
    It has been established that you have Premiere Elements 10. On what computer operating system is it running?
    There has not been a File Menu/Export/Movie export opportunitity in Premiere Elements since version 7. We are not up to version 12.
    For Premiere Elements 10, your export opportunities are all in Share/ including one for Computer. Under Computer there are several choices. The ones that you see are Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, and AVCHD. The others you have to scroll down to. And those choices are AVI, Windows Media, QuickTime, Image, and Audio. You do not have to use the scroll bar for this. You can click on Adobe Flash Video panel to get it to turn black. Then use the down arrow to go down the list and the up arrow to go up the list. Once you get to a category, you can select a preset and go with it or customize it under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of the preset.
    If you post the properties of your source media that you want to try to match in the export, I would be glad to suggest the exact settings for you.
    We will be watching for your follow up with details.
    Thank you.

    Add On...The Premiere Elements 10 File Menu is for more than Saving, just not exporting. One of the key features that can be access there is the Project Archiver. More on that another time.

    I have numerous music movie clips that I have not purchased through iTunes, Is it possible to stream these "home" movies using iTunes to apple TV?
    And if iTunes will not allow it, is there another complete program available that I can purchase to have my music movie clips stream to a TV and/or another computer?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Thanks, Winston C, I've actually tried everything you suggested. I'm thinking now that the Home Sharing problem likely is related to Bonjour--I've seen several people mention this with similar (but not identical) problems. The solution that seems to work for some people is to uninstall and reinstall Bonjour. Frankly, I don't want to go through the trouble given that the iOS 7 release is imminent.
    One thing that I haven't tried is resetting the ATV to factory settings. I'll give that whirl.
    Thanks for your advice!

  • Dragging movie clip from Event pane to Project pane

    When I drag a movie clip from Event to Project the top part of the clip is cut off. On body pictures I am losing people's heads! The movie clips play perfectly in the Event panel, so I know they were imported correctly.

    There are two things to look at.
    First, what is the aspect ratio of your project, and is it the same as your camera is shooting?
    If your camera is standard (4:3), set your project to 4:3. If your camera is wide-screen (16:9), set your project to 16:9. You can do this in FILE/PROJECT PROPERTIES.
    Second, if your project contains a mix of 16:9 and 4:3, that is OK. You just pick the aspect ratio that you prefer. Then on each clip, go into the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool and select FIT or CROP.
    FIT will letterbox (black bars). CROP will cut off the top and bottom. You can decide which you prefer.

  • Serious problem: Imovie is working from the event but not from the project

    Hi,
    Related to my other post, I have discovered that Imovie seems to be working fine in the event library, but not in the project library.
    If I use the spacebar or play buttons in the event part, it shows the film in the right top screen or even in full screen mode.
    But if I click on my project, nothing works anymore.

    Hi
    Try to make a new User/account. Log into this. Have a re-try.
    How does it work now ?
    If OK. Go back to Your first account, Take move out iMovie pref file to the desktop
    Re.start iMovie.
    Works OK ?
    iMovie pref file resides:
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named: com.apple.iMovie.plist
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.

  • Flash builder Event metadata not recognized

    My apologize for my post layout but I definitly can't get my post to look like what I write in the text field. I don't know why it has repeated the last line (maybe because it's some Adobe stuff). It's difficult to be confident in the reliability of Adobe developping tools when a simple web page doesn't work correctly.
    Sorry for being nasty but I'm starting to get rid of spending hours on ununderstandable problems.
    (To be more nasty, the best this morning : I start a new Flex project in Flash Builder, make a few things, and when I tried to launch it, surprise : "This file cannot be launched" and that's all, no more explanation, imposible to find answer on the web. I finally had to restart the project.)

  • Do I need to stop a tweened movie clip if it's not visible?

    Hi,
    I'm a beginner.
    I have a tweened movie clip (it has a changing alpha state that makes it fade up from invisible). I hide this movie clip when the movie starts (with "myMovieClip__MC.visible = false" at the top of the frame script. My question is this: Is this movie clip still tweening while it's hidden (and using processor resources)? IOW: should I hide it AND stop it at the movie start...or is that unnecessary because when it's hidden it's stopped?
    Thanks

    it's still playing and using some resources even if not visible and not on the stage or in the display list, but it may not be using that many resources.

  • The .blueMultiplier (movie clip color property) does not take new value..?

    It seems I can not assign a new value to the .blueMultiplier (a movie clip color property) using AS3 ????!!!
    I have a basic movie clip 'mymc' in my scene, and this AS3 code:
    trace (mymci.transform.colorTransform.blueMultiplier);
    mymc.transform.colorTransform.blueMultiplier = 0;
    trace (mymc.transform.colorTransform.blueMultiplier);
    Values that are returned:
    1
    1
    What am I missing?
    Thanks.

    you can't assign transform/colorTransform properties directly.  you update a transform/colorTransform instance and assign your object's transform/colorTransofrm instance to be the updated transform/colorTransform instance:
    var ct:ColorTransform = mymc.transform.colorTransform;
    ct.blueMultiplier = 0;
    mymc.transform.colorTransform = ct;

  • Fcpx project not appearing in project library

    A project that is in the Final Cut Projects folder, both within its own folder and in the FCP Projects folder, is not appearing in the Project Library within FCPX and therefore cannot be opened. This happened suddenly in the middle of an edit that had begun yesterday. The files imported into the appropriate FC Event folder is there and all the other FCP projects I've done which are visible in the FCP Projects folder in Finder are visible within the FCP Project library except this one. Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Here are my events within Final Cut
    And here are the "contents" of my folders within the "bees1" Library
    A message popped up while I was editing saying my drive was almost full so I deleted files unrelated to the project or event I was working on this ended up happening. It is not the first time this happened.
    Thank you for your time.

  • HT203477 FCPX is not recognizing my project files.

    When I open FCPX the raw footage is there, but none of the edited projects appear. I did an update and ever since FCPX won't locate my project files.

    Hopefully zaimpaine's problem has been solved in this past month. If zampaine or anyone else could provide the solution that would be greatly appreciated. In my case, there also is no Updated Projects Event. Projects started in the last few days disappear from FCPX and the Project Library even though the project file is visible in Finder, both in the Final Cut Projects root file and within its own subfolder and all the other, older projects are still clearly visible in the Project Librarty.
    Many thanks in advance,

  • IMovie 11 will not show my project library after I sent it toiDVD

    This is the second time that I lost my iMovie project Librarys. Apple support helped me get it back last week.
    Now, I can't find my project library. That would include all of my project librarys.
    I did download the latest up dates for this imovie.
    Also, if I try to arrow on the button for project library,nothing happens.
    I can't close the imovie i have to force it shut.

  • How to move clips between events

    By mistake I imported some movies into an existign event isntead of creating a new event. Now I can't figure out how to move them to a new or even a different existing event.

    By mistake I imported some movies into an existign event isntead of creating a new event. Now I can't figure out how to move them to a new or even a different existing event.
    Close iMovie '08. At the "Finder" level, open the "iMovie Events" folder where you want to store your "new" event and create an new, empty folder with the name you wish to call the event. When finished, re-open iMovie '08. After it scans your drives, the new event folder name show up in your "Event Library" list as an empty event. At this time select the source "Event" so you can see the clips you wish to move. Simply drag these files from the source event and drop them on the name if the event to which you wish to move them. Using this process, iMovie '08 should internally update all required pointers as needed.

  • How do I precisely select a movie clip in event browser?

    I've got a movie in event browser
    I'm having trouble putting the mouse on half a second before the end
    I know I can take off snapping which will solve my problem (I assume)
    Just wanted to know if there was a keyboard method?
    Use J, K or L? Just done this. Works OK
    Or maybe click in the time field and put the exact time?
    How do I get into the time box using just the keyboard?
    Thanks
    Omar

    Using the numeric keypad (only on extended Apple keyboards, not on MacBook's etc) you can use the minus [-] key to set backwards or [+] key to set forwards, then type on the adjacent numeric keys how many frames to move backwards/forwards (using the numpads' enter/return key at the bottom right to commit).
    For example: if moving the playhead back 15 frames, I would press they keypad's [-] key then type [1] then [5] on the keypad, pressing the return key at the bottom right to finish. Also, using the keypad's [.] after the numbers, tells FCP to use seconds and not frames. So moving forward by 12 seconds can be done by pressing [+] then [1] then [2] and finally [.] - completing with the return.
    With the event browsers clip, I would use the right cursor key to ensure it's the final frame - then using the [-] on the keypad, type in the frames per second used divided by 2; hitting return to move the selection point to the correct position.

  • Lots of lags in basic finder operations - mouse events are not recognized

    Hi there,
    since 10.6.7 I'm experiencing lots of problems with my Mac mini 2,4Ghz Intel core duo / 4 GB RAM / 140GB free disc space. I recently updated to Lion which I hoped would fix some of this problems - turned out to be a dream. Some Time/Apps later all the problems show up again. I already searched the web for solutions and did the following:
    resetting PRAM, booting in safe mode, deleting startup items, complete new system installation, and apps, updating software, killing dashbord (read it somewhere), adjusting mouse preferences, checking with hardware test, removing RAM bars to check if there is a problem, memtest, used "lion cache cleaner" for optimizing RAM, deleting caches, switching vom 64 to 32 bit and vice versa,  etc. ... no effect!
    Activity monitor does not show any unusual peaks (as far as I can tell) in performance (cpu, ram, etc.)
    1) Basic finder operations often lag. E.g. opening an external USB drive, opening internal drive, opening upper registers(menues), etc. Sometimes up to 5 seconds delay, which can be really annoying during work. What is more, this happens in almost all Apps when I try to access the file system.
    2) iTunes videos from the store lag quite heavy. It's almost impossible to watch a movie due to the hangups
    3) Mouse clicks/moves sometimes/often are not (or very late) recognized by finder/apps. (e.g. CS5 Photoshop,when triing to move a layer I often need to use the arrow keys of the keyboard to have an effect, mouse is just ignored  & simple movement of files will only happen after I tried it 2-3 times)
    4) Entering text in form fields, like logins, community posts, ... is a real pain since it often takes some time until the text shows up. It's like typing and 5 seconds later you can see the machine work by putting letter after letter on the screen.
    Does anyone have an idea what the problem is?
    Could it be a hardware issue? Grafic-card?
    Any solutions?
    Would be nice hearing from you.
    Pero

    Found something... read, that it could be a mouse-usb problem when connected to the keyboard... so what I did was connecting the mouse directly to the mac... and ahhh first improvement... mouse-experienceis much better now... and I think, for what I can tell at this moment, finder operations seem better too.
    Never would have guessed that. I take my mini to the office every day where I have a second set of mouse and keyboard... had the same probs there... so probably it is a mac-usb-keyboard with attached mouse - problem.

    Events are new in PSE11. Were you previously using keywords for your events?
    If so check imported keywords.
