Projects and events are empty!

Before I call support, maybe someone can help. I created a project and finished it, all locally (no external drives involved). The next morning, when I opened FCPX, the event and project NAMES were there, but clicking on them yielded NOTHING. There was no evidence of any of my imported media, either, although my hard drive still showed 10GB less space, so it was still on there somewhere. After uninstalling and reinstalling FCPX and mounting some random libraries from the "Final Cut Backups" folder, the projects and timelines reappeared, but ALL the clips were missing, and attempts to relink them led nowhere. So I RE-IMPORTED all the footage in a new library/event, and when I dragged the event into the library where the "blank" project lived, all the clips mysteriously re-populated and all was right again. This morning, opened up FCPX and the SAME THING happened. Only this time, I can't get any project/timeline to load from ANY library (including every single "backup" library). So I'm panicking that even if I re-import all the footage for a third time, I won't have a project for the clips to "find" and I'll have to start over. WHAT IS GOING ON??? 
Thanks!
Bill

UPDATE: The event has returned but it is still empty. I opened the Console and the following error is repeated hundreds of times starting at the time of the original crash:
1/5/14 11:49:54.234 AM iMovie[34085]: CoreData: error: (3850) I/O error for database at /Volumes/Media 2/iMovie/iMovie Library.imovielibrary/Mid Winter Bluegrass Show/CurrentVersion.imovieevent.  SQLite error code:3850, 'not an error' errno:9

  • Some Clips in Projects and Events are Grayed Out

    I've been using iMovie for a while with the same camera, and it's always worked fine. However, the last time I went to import some clips from my camera, they went into the event folder, but then every clip - including the new ones - that had worked before turned gray. Now, I can't watch any of the clips in the project or events. This is very frustrating because everything worked fine, but now nothing works. If there's a way I can fix this so the clips will actually play, it would be very much appreciated.

    I've experienced the same thing.

  • I updated FCPX to 10.9 after I had updated my os to 10.9.1. And the result is that FCPx can no longer read LaCie external hard drive where all the projects and events are stored. The program simply crashes every time I try to read anything from the LaCie.

    Could anyone tell me what to do to solve the problem. I updated FCPX to 10.9 and the program keeps on crash every time I try to read files stored in my LaCie hard drive. And the program also keeps on crash every time I try to import files from my SDXC cards.

    I have solved the problem. Once the update is done, you need to launch FCPX, and go to File, then "update all events and projects". It will solve the problem and everything works fine.

  • IMovie 10: Lost all projects and events when upgrading

    When I opened iMovie 10 the first time, it starting updating thumbnails. At some stage it got stuck on a certain event. After have seen the rainbow circle for a few hours and it was getting nowhere, I force quit the application. When I opened it the next time, both the 'events' folder and the 'project' folder are empty. I can see that all projects and events are still there in the finder folder, but I cannot import them into iMovie. Does anybody know what to do?

    The events and projects from older versions have to be updated. You should a dialog about this when you first launch the application.  You can also update from the File menu.

  • Disk appears twice in Project and Event window

    There seems to be a bug in iMovie that causes the default disk to appear twice in the project and event viewer if you have a symbolic link in the path.
    For years I have used a symlink to allow me to locate my Users area onto a second drive. This keeps all my user data separate from the more generic system data. Occasionally an application gets confused by this link and this seems to be the case with iMovie.
    I think what is happening is that iMovie is trying to list my home directory which by default is usually on Macintosh HD/Users/louie but when it hits the symlink at /Users -> /Volumes/DataDisk/Users it sees this is actually on drive DataDisk. Then I think it looks for all mounted volumes and it finds DataDisk again and doesn't realize that this is already recorded and includes it again.
    Other than this odity it seems to work just fine. If I add a project or event, initially it appears in only one of the DataDisk entries in iMovie. Then if I restart iMovie the new project and/or event will show under both entries. The actual project and events are correcty created in my ~/Movies directory.
    -louie

    I don't know an easy way to fix that if you are using a symlink.
    Click on this link for some good information about how to set up your home folder in a different location. You can set it up on OSX where you will not need a symlink. On the other hand, if its working well for you, may be best to leave it alone.

  • HT5149 Will uninstalling and reinstalling fcpx effect my pre existing projects and events? That is to say, will it delete them?

    Hey my FCP X has stopped working. It lasts about 30 seconds and then the beach ball comes up and it doesn't respond after that. It's pretty much unusable now. I was thinking of uninstalling and reinstalling it. Will that delete my existing projects and events or will they stay on my system?
    Thanks

    This is my pet checklist for questions regarding FCP X performance - you may have already addressed some of the items but it's worth checking.
    Check the spec of your Mac against the system requirements:
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
    Check the spec of your graphics card. If it's listed here, it's not suitable:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
    Make sure you're using the latest version of the application - FCP X 10.0.3 runs very well on my 2009 MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16 GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB. I run it with Lion 10.7.3.
    Check that you have at least 20% free space on your system drive.
    If you have not already done so, move your Projects and Events to a fast (Firewire 800 or faster) external HD. Make sure the drive's formatted OS Extended (journalling's not required for video). You should always keep at least 20% free space on the Hard Drives that your Media, Projects and Events are on.
    If you are getting crashes, there is some conflict on the OS. Create a new (admin) user account on your system. Do NOT import any of the settings etc from the old account - simply use FCP X from there - if it runs a lot better, there's a conflict and a clean install would be recommended - but remember, if you reinstall the system, and then use Migration Assistant (or anything else) to import all your old settings etc etc, you may well be importing the cause of the conflict in the first place.
    Keep projects to 20 mins or less (about half that for Multicam). If you have a long project, work on short sections, make them into Compound Clips and then paste these into a final project for export.
    If you ever experience dropped frames, I strongly recommend you use ProRes 422 Proxy - it edits and plays back like silk because the files are small but lightly compressed (not much packing and unpacking to do) - but remember to select 'Original or Optimised Media' (FCP X Preferences > Playback) just before you export your movie, otherwise it will be exported at low resolution.
    If you have plenty of processor power, for the ultimate editing experience, create Optimised Media - most camera native files are highly compressed and need a great deal of processor power to play back - particularly if you add titles, filters or effects. ProRes 422 takes up much more hard drive space but is very lightly compressed. It edits and plays back superbly.
    Hide Audio Waveforms at all times when you don't need them (both in Browser and Storyline / Timeline). They take up a lot of processor power. (Use the switch icon at the bottom-right of your timeline to select a format without waveforms if you don't need them at the moment, then switch back when you do).
    Create folders in the Project and Events libraries and put any projects you are not working on currently, in those folders. This will help a lot. There's a great application for this, called Event Manager X - for the tiny cost it's an invaluable application.
    http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/EventManagerX/
    Unless you cannot edit and playback without it, turn off Background Rendering in Preferences (under Playback) - this will help general performance and you can always render when you need to by selecting the clip (or clips) and pressing Ctrl+R.
    The biggest single improvement I saw in performance was when I upgraded the RAM from 8 GB to 16.

  • Updated to iMovie version 10.0 Opened it. All my clips and projects were there. Then it crashed. Now no clips no projects. If I try and import them they are dimmed. If I try and 'update projects and events' a dialogue box says no files found.

    Have macbook pro 2012, running Maverick. Updated to iMovie version 10.0 Opened it. All my clips and projects were there. Then it crashed. Now no clips no projects. If I try and import them they are dimmed. If I try and 'update projects and events' a dialogue box says no files found.
    Have tried restarting computer, no joy. Help!!

    The reply from Nerval fixed it. It is very simple and it works.
    If you have a lot of Projects and  Events, leave the iMovie running for a long time. I had 160G and it took 4hrs. It is doing it in the background so don't shutdown too quick.
    Thanks Nerval.

  • Upgrading iMovie from v9.0.9 to v10 with projects and events on external HD

    Seem to be running into an issue using iMovie v10 post-upgrade...
    I run iMovie v9.0.9 with many projects and events on several external (multi-TB) hard drives. They would not fit on my primary HD due to sheer file size.
    I was able to upgrade to v10, but when I tried to convert my existing iMovie library, my primary HD suddenly got a disk out of space error. It appears that the library conversion process is consolidating project and event files from the external drives onto the primary drive. Is this to be expected? Are external drives still supported with iMovie v10?
    Not sure the best way to proceed, other than to continue using the old library and iMovie v9.0.9 (which thankfully still works) and try to descipher what files to delete from my now-full primary drive.

    Likewise. I was afraid there might be a problem when they let Sarah Palin name the new OS.
    I have a 500 GB hard drive that had 100 GB free space before "10.9 Mavericks." Now the disk is full. The iMovie Library on my internal HD is 106.1 GB, and "iMovie Theater.theater" (sic) that is 90.3 GB. The computer is now slower than slow. Also, events that were organized under the names of the Hard Drive that contained them, are now simply called iMovie Library 1, iMovie Library 2, iMovie Library 3, iMovie Library 4, iMovie Library 5, etc.
    I had to use my finder and re-name the libraries to indicate the name and size of each HD. in the new iMovie interface.
    I copied the events from the internal iMovie library to an external library now called "iMovie Library July2013-3TB" and then moved the events to trash. But the events did not appear in trash, and cannot be emptied. So, the HD is still full.
    It seems that the new iMove just wants to fill any available HD space with iMovie Theater (sic) whatever that is. I can't realy explore the new OS until I deal with the HD issue. Fortunately, iMovie 9 is still there, so I can go back to using it. I wll try to drage the iMovie library to an external drive and delete the iMovie Library, iMovie Theatre.theatre, and go back to using iMovie 9. I may never open iMovie 10 again, since the mere act of opening it preceeds the destruction of disk space. 

  • Project and Event Mgmt - Revisited

    I started a discussion a few weeks ago about how to manage FCP x projects and events.
    That discussion is here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15630947#15630947
    However, as I look more closely at my workflow as permitted by FCPx I have a quandary that I suspect others have as well.
    Once I have created an event and a related project in the Events and Projects folder respectively, the question arises as what to do with those elements when you are done for the time being with both.
    I have created a large number of projects, each with their own event.  As I move on from them, I would find it useful to have them not show up in the active Project and Event lists in FCP X.  But I do want to get back to them from time to time.
    The wisdom seems to be to not move those project & event folders elsewhere with Finder, but to use FCP X Move Project instead. 
    But here is the quandary.
    If  you don't want to Move them to an external drive (and I would like to avoid that), the only other solution seems to be to move them to a sparseimage disk which can be mounted and dismounted whenever needed.  The problem with the sparseimage approach involves backing up with Time Machine.
    My tests (and survey of the boards) indicate that whenver you add a file to the sparsebundle disk image, the entire sparsebundle is backed up to the Time Capsule drive.  That eats up TC storage in a hurry.
    So, has anyone got any suggestions as to what to do with projects and events that you don't want to see on a current basis in the FCPx lists, but do want to get back to them from time to time.

    Rex,
    As a freelance editor I'm always working on multiple projects and use this workflow to hide, show or backup projects and events.
    As your aware while working on a project/event, these need to exists in the Final Cut Events folder and the Final Cut Projects folder.
    In order to hide an event, simply move the event or events from the main Final Cut Events directory, back one level.
    Example: I'm currently working on a productions where the events live on my Machintosh HD. First I create a folder called Final Cut Events HIDE.
    Under your Home Directory/Movies/Final Cut Events/ move the event you'd like to hide to the Final Cut Event HIDE folder.
    Be sure Final Cut Pro X has been quite.
    When you re-open Final Cut Pro X, you should have a empty event library.
    If you'd like to re-work on these events, simple quite Final Cut Pro X, drag and drop your "hidden" event or events back into the Final Cut Events folder, re-open FCP X, and there you have it.
    Use this exact same approach for projects.
    Regarding backup, you can manually backup your events/projects, however I only do this if the edit is completely finished and exists in my Final Cut Pro HIDE folders. All I then do is copy and paste to a backup HD.
    Hope that helps.

  • IMovie - Start fresh and import all projects and events from scratch

    I am using iMovie 10.0.6 on Yosemite.
    I have 3 Libraries that stretch back many years.  When I open iMovie, it loads the Projects and says there are 42, but only shows about 8.  The others are missing.  The event folders show up but the event data is missing.
    Basically I want to start over.  I want ONE clean library and I want to re-import all of my raw event data and the projects that I created using that event data.
    How on earth does one do this?

    If you have  iMovie Projects and imovie Events folders in <user name> / Movies, these are from iMovie 9, so I infer that you have transferred them from an old machine and upgraded them to imovie 10.   
    If this is correct you should still have your projects and events.  iMovie 10 stores everything in packages with the extension .imovielibrary.  If this has become corrupt you should be able to upgrade them again (they will automatically go into a new library).  You  will find an empty file with a name something like "updated to iMovie 10" in the events and projects folders.  These need to be trashed in order to allow them to be upgraded afreash.
    Geoff.

  • I tried to import a video into iMovie. Its says their is not enough space on the destination disk. I deleted many projects, and events. Nothing changed. What files do I delete and how?

    I tried to import a video into iMovie. Its says their is not enough space on the destination disk. I deleted many projects, and events. Nothing changed. What files do I delete and how?

    Hard drive full or near full:
    You are going to have to delete, move or archive your data to regain hard drive space.
    Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Other things you can do to gain space.
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive older emails you want to save.
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Uninstall apps that you no longer use. If the app has a dedicated uninstaller, use it to completely uninstall the app. If the app has no uninstaller, then just drag it to the OS X Trash icon  and empty the Trash.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it do its thing initially, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run all of the processes in the tabs. Let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be moved, also, to the external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    You may have to Purchase an external FireWire or Thunderbolt hard drive to move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    Good Luck!

  • My imovie seems to have completely crashed... and I'm hoping someone can help me. I have moved all my projects and events to a folder on my desktop. I've deleted all the plist files I can find and I still cannot get it to open.

    Please help... it seems all is lost as all I kind find on this subject seem to lead to nowhere. My engagement was on imovie, a school project, several videos of our son. You will have to hold my hand through this process... as I am not very good at this type of thing. I believe I have deleted all the necessary plist files and moved my projects and events to a folder on my desktop. imovie has been upgraded to version 9.0.9... Whenever I open it I just get the beachball and then I have to force quit and I get the following report:

    Hi
    Yes this can be many things - and I can only guess/suggest.
    A. a very common origin to make the Mac un-happy is to - PANIC-HALT - when the round multicolored thing appear.
    So much can go wrong by doing this - and if done often problem builds up that can result in a real disaster.
    B. NEVER - move or alter any folder named - iMovie Event's resp. iMovie Project's - as iMovie has no search function - moving them results in that iMovie get's 100% lost.
    One can move them - but this HAS TO BE done within the iMovie application (as it is up and running)
    C. preference files - there are TWO or more Libraries on Your Mac. First and easy to find is the one You see when opening Your Start-Up Hard Disk window = Root Library == the WRONG ONE
    What we need to find is the one in Your User-Account folder (icon as a house) - and this is in Mac OS X.7, X.8 and X.9 HIDDEN. To see it do:
    ( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )
    or - do like this. 
    On the Finder window at the top left of the screen,
    Hold down the Option key and clicked on Go. 
    This allowed You to see the Library folder and select it. 
    Then keep the Option button pressed down in order to see and select the Library folder. 
    Once found it, You are able to navigate to the iMovie preferences file and move it to the trash.  iMovie then start’s up fine! 
    Now here in Your User Library - find Preferences and trash
    com.apple.iMovie.plist
    com.apple.iMovie3.plist
    com.apple.iMovie7.plist
    com.apple.iMovie8.plist
    com.apple.iMovie9.plist
    com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
    and find
    com.apple.iApps.plist
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    I Prefere another way to find out if this is the problem.
    (after all folders (iMovie Event/Projects are moved into original place)
    • go up to Apple Menu
    • Down to System Pref's
    • Select Accounts - Create a new User
    • Go down the Apple menu - Log OUT
    • Log into as the new User
    Now try iMovie
    Does it work at all ? (Yes You don't see Events or Projects in Your original Account just now)
    If so - Then we know that there is a corrupted pref file to be trashed.
    Else - the problem are much more severe.
    D. After Panic Halt / Forced Quit - I always do -. to keep disasters on arms length.

  • Is there a way to retrieve my projects and events?

    I have copied final cut projects and events to my Mac internal drive from an external drive on which they were located. I could not do this via FCPX because of a problem: FCPX being unable to open up unless [it says] some corrupt files are either restored or move. Neither FCPX nor I are able to do this [restoring or moving out of the corrupt files].
    So, after copying the events and projects onto my Mac's HD, I tried to open the currentproject in FCPX, but the application states that it has to be opened from within FCPX only.
    Is there any workaround by which I would be able to get FCPX read these projects and events [a work of nearly 5 months]?
    One idea: can I make a disk image of the projects and events folders and would they then be 'read' and accepted by fcpx?
    Eagerly waiting for solution/s.

    Try Digital rebellions tool,
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/promaintenance/
    they have a trial version, 15 days, I think you will find that this may work for you.
    Two things that may cause this
    Corrupt render files, solution, delete the render files in your projects.
    Corrupt media files, Pro maintenance Tool
    Also, try launching the event without the projects, this will let you know which is causing the problem, event or project.
    let us know how you go.

  • Saving all projects and events to external hard drive

    I finished an iMovie project last night and published it to YouTube.
    Then, in order to free up space on my Hard Drive, I moved some of the events to a USB external drive because I figured I was finished with them as far as making my movie was concerned.
    My movie got "muted" by YouTube (copyright issue), so I need to go back and edit the project to remove a soundtrack, but the project has lots of yellow warning markers on various clips.
    I went to Genius Bar, and he explained that all iMovie events and all iMovie projects must reside in the same place. Makes sense ..... so I bought a new Seagate 7200 rpm Firewire External Drive (which will be faster than my USB drive) and plan to move all events and projects to the Seagate hard drive.
    But - if everything is on an external drive, how do I play a movie on my Mac when I want to show somebody? Do I copy the project back to iMovie? But will it play normally if all the accompanying events are stored elsewhere?
    The firewire 7200 rpm drives do not come in a portable drive, so I bought a desktop size drive - not very portable ..... so I can't be schlepping that drive every time I want to show a movie! I don't want to open the package if this is not the best solution.
    I'm starting to take a lot of video - so it's eating up my hard drive .....
    Thanks in advance for your help .... !
    T

    you want to hold the command key and drag the project file to hard drive. The hard drive can be even one of the portable my passport. I have several. It just needs to be formatted Macos extended. Once you drag the project it will ask if you want to take the events with you....say yes. Viola ... all movies projects and events stay together. However, if you just want to show the movie after its edited, share to itunes and create a version that can play in itunes.

  • HT202853 iMovie failing to update older projects and events on external hard drive.

    I've made sure my iMovie events and iMovie projects files are on the top level of my external hard drive, however iMovie says, "iMovie could not find any events or project files to update" please help.
    I only recently updated my computer to OSX 10.10.1 ; before that, I was using OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Not sure if that has any effect on this topic.
    Here are my specs:
    Type: MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011)
    Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory: 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Startup Disk: Macintosh HD
    Pretty sure graphics and serial dont matter so I wont put it in.
    But yea, I've been trying to figure out what's going on for a few days and have had no result.
    This problem's really hindering my progress for a film I'm making and iMovie is getting more and more frustrating to use as it develops.
    I hope somebody be able to help me asap.
    Thanks

    If you want to try and start over with the iMovie 10 "Update Projects and Events...", remove the "UpdatedToiMovie10" file in both the iMove Events and iMovie Projects folders (the older folders). Then open iMovie 10 and reselect "Update Projects and Events...". My expectation is that you will experience the same missing events problem I have, caused by changing the clip date and time in the previous version of iMovie (9). It's a bug that persists through iMovie 10.0.8 (just released a few days ago). Really really wish Apple could fix this.
