Where does iMovie save the movie file?

I have imported my video and I want to get to the folder without opening iMovie. Which folder does iMovie put the raw footage into?
Thanks,
Brian

Brian,
You also need to know that when you see your iMovie project inside the HD Movie folder, you can't simply double-click the project icon and see all of your assets. You need to hold the Apple button while single-clicking on the icon, then choose "Show Assets" to see your media, the QT reference movie, etc.

Where does iWeb save the site file?

Sorry guys but this is a lazy man's question.
Where does iWeb save the site file when you click the save button?
Is it saved as a seperate file or is it hidden within the program?
I not talking about publishing it.

Yes there is...I'll refer you to Apple's own technote...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303670
But you probably don't want to keep it on your iDisk. The file could be huge and the back and forth network bandwidth involved may make iWeb opens and saves unbearably slow. I've always recommended one of those cheap USB flash drives to keep a potable Domain file on.
Has this been "helpful" to you?

Where does iWeb save the contents of my website now that iDisk is not available?

With the latest change to iCloud and iDisk not available anymore, where does iWeb save the contents of websites?
I looked for the files undel Library/Application Support/....but could not find the iWeb folder.
Any ideas please?
Thank you.

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Where does KN 09 store .mov files when these files were not copied into the KN document?

I saved a 'test' KN document without copying the movie files into the document. The size of the document was less than half the size of the actual movie files themselves, so I figured they were not embedded into the document. I then played the KN slideshow on a different drive that did not contain the actual movie files.
But it played!! How can that be?!
I had created the document leaving the box for copying audio and video unchecked! It was saved as a package. By the way what is a "package" anyway?
Can anyone shed light on this dilemma?
Thank you,
Howard
PS - the reason this is important is that I want to edit my real Keynote document as it gets bigger without the constant spinning color beachball appearing everytime I right clickk or edit. This doc is 9GB already and will get a lot larger. If I can edit without the beachball appearing by saving as a package without embedding the video that would be great!
My other option is just to leave the videos in a separate folder and then click on them at the appropriated moment. That is what the Apple tech support guy told me is what lots of Apple people do when presenting Keynotes in their stores.
Thanks again.

I decided to try double-clicking one of the files in my library, whereupon iTunes told me that it couldn't find the file. I clicked the button to find the file myself, and was pleased when the dialog box opened up in the right folder.
This made sense, as iTunes knew where the file should have been, so offered that folder as a starting point.
I then tried another file (from a different album), and iTunes offered me the same folder as before. This was logical, as most Windows applications remember which folder you last chose. I navigated to the correct folder for this file, chose the file and closed the dialog.
I then tried another file in the second album, and guess what? iTunes offered me the very first folder again! No, it didn't remember my last folder.
So now if I want to tell iTunes where the files are, I have to double-click each of the 100 files that it's lost, then click the button to say I'll find the file, then navigate away from the wrong folder to the one that it should have remembered from the previous time, and then choose the folder.

Where does Keynote store the audio files in a presentation

I have slides with individual audio files. When I import or attach the file and then save the presentation, it changes the file name to .mov extension. Where does Keynote store those files? I would like to edit the saved Keynote version, but cannot locate the .mov file!

I'm not exactly sure of what you want to do, and I'm not sure if my answer is the most efficient, or even wholly correct, but here goes ...
When you save a KN presentation (a KN doc) which includes an audio (or movie) file, you can save it 2 (3?) ways: either without or with the file being copied into the document, or as a "package". In a test file I just made with 3 white slides (title, slide with song, second slide with song) the results:
without: 3.8 MB; with: 9.4 MB; package: 9.4 MB. The essential difference, aside from size, is that if saved without, if you play the KN on another machine which doesn't have those audio files on it, the audio won't be there. To make the KN truly portable, you must save with, or as a package. (I'm not too sure of the concept of package in KN. In PP, saving as a package means you end up with a folder, which contains the PP and the media files, each as separate entities. Saving a KN package yields not a folder but a file, which looks to me identical to the result achieved by simply saving with, and seems to behave identically, as well.) The audio file you used will in any case remain where it was before you used it, but, if the KN doc is saved with, or as a package, a copy of it will go into the KN doc.
But then, what do you mean by "edit"? What do you want to edit, the KN presentation, or the audio file within it? If the former, I don't understand where the problem might be. If the latter: using the QT inspector within KN, you can change the length of the audio file (where in the song it starts and stops), whether to start it on click, or automatically after transition, or to loop it. If you wanted to do some other, more exotic audio editing, like reverbs or other effects, I'd do that on (a copy of) the original audio file (found wherever it was before) with another app (GarageBand, for instance), and then I'd replace the first, non-edited, version of the audio file in the KN doc with that.
Have I missed something?
Message edited by gbdoc: maybe someone will chime in to clarify the difference between "saved with" and a "package"

Where does iMovie store the individual clips?

I know where iMovie stores the project file (which has all the clips inside it), but where does it put each individual clip itself? I want to edit them using another program, but the only way I can do it for now is by opening the project file and exporting each individual clip.

Hi Steve
My bet is that it will crach Your project.
I would if satisfied with my editing. Copy back to Camera to TWO new miniDV
tapes. Carefully secure that there is a great overlap - say several minutes.
(Why - errors on miniDV tapes are more common in beginning and end of tape)
Then when ready - delet the movie project and - re-import tapes into a
new project.
ALL editings will be un-undo-able. So this is a nerve shattering experience.
Alt. Get a big external hard disk !!! Mac Extended - formatted !!!
Mac Exchange / DOS / UNIX formatted WILL NOT do.
And copy the movie project to this for further editings or just to store it.
(I don't use "Empty - trash" in iMovie even if several in this forum says that's
not so destructive as in previous versions of iMovie)
Yours Bengt W

Hello,
the *.jar file thing is a common problem in Java. One simple solution to the problem is by saving the *.jar file in the C:\j2sdk1.4.0\jre\lib\ext\ folder. This directory is an extension to the regular java files and by doing this, java will look in this directory if you import some other files not included in the java package. This does not work if you are using JBuilder, couse JBuilder installs its own jsdk, which is uses, probably under the JBuilder folder.

Where does pacman store the downloaded stuff?
How do I get rid of them?

/var/cache/pacman/pkg
pacman -Sc or pacman -Scc
i recommend -Sc , -Scc can be harmful in the long run if you ever need to downgrade a package

Where does iMovie save files

A friend uses iMovie (sorry, not sure which version) and saves his files onto a large external hard drive. However, he keeps getting messages that the hard drive on the computer is full cose to capacity. Does iMovie place backups, or any other files, on the computer's hard disc without you realising it? Is so, where are these files and can they safely be deleted?
Any other ideas?
Thannks

The entire iMovie project is saved within the one project folder, the one with a star in the icon. This must be stored in the Movies Folder or, if on an external hard disk, one called that. Moreover the external hard disk must be connected by firewire.

HT201361 Can I change the directory where screen capture saves the png files?

hi:
screen capture questions:
1) Can I change the directory/place where the macbook (maverick osx) screen capture it putting the png/images?
Currently it is going to my desktop and I would like it in another spot.
2) Can I change the default name to include a number e.g so each screen capture increments by 1 rather than telling sequence by time?
thankyou

If you use the Grab.app in Applications/Utilities, you can name the file whatever you want and place it whereever you want. Filenames are not automatically incremented, however.
The disadvantage is that it saves the capture only in .tiff format, not .png
But double-clicking on the saved .tiff file will open it in Preview.app, and you can then Option+Save As in .png format in that same folder, or elsewhere.
Grab.app has some other nice features too, such as selecting a cursor shape to be displayed (or none), and doing a timed screen capture.
And of course there are other apps...

Wheres does imovie keep my exported files?

I recently finished edited my footage on imovie within ipad and as I upload it to youtube, its does fine on the first two but then on the third it says not enough space. So once I connected my ipad to my computer it seems the ipads been making files of the project when i upload them to youtube and thus filling up my ipad to the point where I can't upload anymore. Suggestions on how to delete the youtube project files?

It deletes them by default. If you want to preserve them, set the "keepgenerated" and "working-dir" (this one so you don't have to hunt for them) elements in the "jsp-descriptor" element in the weblogic.xml file.

Where does PSE8 save the serial number?

I have three iMacs at home, but I only use two of them since the first one is broken. I had PSE8 installed on the iMacs, and during the summer bought CS5. Since I didn't need to use PSE8 on this iMac, I deinstalled it by dragging it to the trash can. Then about a month ago I purchased another new iMac, and installed PSE8 on it.
When I try to use PSE8 on the newest iMac a dialog box appears on the screen indicating that I have to either buy a new serial number, or deactivate PSE8 in one of the three iMacs, because I already have the serial number in three computers. My question is as follows:
Where in my iMac (the one I use with CS5) can I find the PSE8 serial number so I can drag it to the trash? I looked in the Library/Preferences folder and noticed that there are still a few PSE8 files left behind, but have no idea which one contains the serial number. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I apologize for posting on the wrong forum.
The problem with the activation/deactivation of PSE8 was solved, but first I will explain in detail what the problem was since all Adobe applications go through the same process (serial number activation/deactivation).
ORIGINAL PROBLEM: I had installed PSE8 twice and then deinstalled it at later dates. However, deinstalling an Adobe application does not deactivate the serial number (this number is left behind somewhere in the system along a few other files). So, I installed CS5 on this iMac a few months ago, and got rid of PSE8. Then a few weeks ago I bought another iMac and installed PSE8 on it, and here is where the problem began. When launching PSE8 on this iMac, a window would appear on the screen indicating that I already had the same serial number installed in two other computers, and that therefore I had 30 days to solve the problem.
SOLUTION:
a. Reinstalled PSE8 on the older iMac, launched it, and then chose "Deactivate" from the Help Menu and proceeded to deactivate PSE8
b. Then I "deinstalled" PSE8 from this iMac, since I don't need it (I have CS5 on it)
c. Launched PSE8 in the new iMac, and chose "Activate Serial Number" on the window mentioned in the last sentence of the "Original Problem" above, and this time it accepted the serial number because it could not find it in the older iMac that was still on my home network
I hope that this could be of help to others.

Where does iPhoto save the time for each photo?

I copied some photos from the library to my desktop, ran software to add an hour to several at once (forgot daylight savings time), deleted the original photos from iPhoto, and re-imported the new copy with the new times back into the library.
I was very surprised to see the information window on the bottom left side of the iPhoto window still showed the old time. Even more confusing is that if I bring up the main info window (CMD-I), the time indicated there is the time I corrected to.
Why do these times not match? Where is iPhoto keeping the old times?

Bob:
Other users have reported that also. I've used PhotoInfo to change time and dates of file and upon importing back into iPhoto they are reported as changed in both the Source window info section and in the Get Info window's Photo section. Don't know why I can do it and the other users were not able to.
I just dragged the photos from the thumbnail window to the desktop, launched PhotoInfo, went to the File->Open menu and select the file. I then changed the time and clicked on Change button. Upon importing into iPhoto the date displayed as changed. If you didn't use PhotoInfo you might give it a try.
