Can't import imovies to different projects

I have made a couple different movies in imovie and would like to import them together. Every time I go to File>Import, I get the following message
The file could not be imported: The file can’t be imported; QuickTime couldn’t parse it: -43
I did find out that I can select everything in the time line view and drag it over but i don't want to mess with all the clips. On my old imac (old meaning last year) I could import the movies and it would condense each one to one clip. Any help?

Hi Trevor - have you tried Sharing one of the movies to full quality QT, and then importing (or drag and drop) that file into your other movie?

  • How can I import iMovie HD 6 project files into Final Cut Express HD3?

    Trying to import iMovie HD 6 projects into FCE HD 3 but 2 windows appear:
    Importing XML data
    and below it a
    SAVE window
    If I click SAVE, both windows disappear, a file with nothing in it appears in browser and when try to play it in the viewer, there is just black....
    Is this all because FCE HD 3 won't support iMove HD 6? so I will need to upgrade to FCE HD 4?

    Use File>Import>Files.
    iMovie Projects as a whole do not Import correctly whereas individual clips do but will need the audio rendering to play correctly.

  • Help! I can't import iMovie HD project to iMovie 11

    I have this project I was working on for hours in iMovie HD (v. 6.0.3), but I wasn't happy with the editing features so I decided to upgrade to iMovie 11. In iMovie 11 (v. 9.0.8), I followed the command of File > Import > iMovie HD Project. Then I selected the project I had been working on with "optimize video" checked and the "Save to" location being HDD.
    Once I clicked "Import" I got the following with absolutely no progress bar and no video clips. I have also tried unchecking the "optimize video" box and with different old iMovie HD projects and I always get the same thing: a blank project with no video clips. I also checked for updates for both iMovie 11 and iMovie HD and restarted my computer.
    HELP!

    Hi
    iMovie 1 to HD6 - is one product in up-grade
    iMovie'08 to 11 - a compleatly different program with no relation to iMovie 1 - HD6 what so ever.
    iMovie'08 to 11 are in my opinion no gain at all over iMovie HD6 only a severe loss of functions.
    BUT I USE - miniDV tape = interlaced SD-Video and for this iMovie HD6 is the best tool - if one doesn't go for FinalCut Express or Pro (not Pro-X) - as these are realy the best ever done - for my video works.
    So I would stay in iMovie HD6 and complete the Movie - or -
    Start all over in Video-editor of choice (the one You like)
    There are no working transcioding tools to move project over from iMovie HD6 to ANY THING ELSE - Not iM'08-11 or FinalCut any version - transitions, texts and other editings will not travel over in an editable form if at all.

  • Can you import imovie projects?

    I edited a ton of raw footage in imovie and put into a project folder (with no theme applied). Now I want to import into aperature for a slideshow project and can't for the life of me figure out how.  Any suggestions?

    I imported a small '06 project to iMovie '08. Well, the only thing that was imported were the video and still images. Not imported - music tracks, transitions, titles.

  • Can I work on a different project in After Effects while rendering another (AE) project in Media Encoder?

    (I'm using the current AE CC 2014)... I've tried twice to start working on a project in After Effects while a DIFFERENT project is rendering in Media Encoder. Both times it (Media Encoder) hung up/crashed. I thought the point of a separate encoder program was so I COULD work on another project in AE at the same time another project was rendering in Media Encoder.
    Am I doing something wrong, or do I just have to WAIT for the encoding in Media Encoder to finish before I can do other things in AE?
    [I tried searching through help. If I it's there... I just missed it.]
    Thanks (in advance) for the help.

    You should wait.

  • Why I can't import iMovie into Apple Configurator without asking me for more codes. If iMovie is free, and I upgraded the latest version and to Yosemite.

    Previously, our school bought a number of codes for iMovie. One of our MacAirs that supervises some iPads through Apple Configurator showed that it was free. However, another Mac Air did not saying that I needed to import more codes. I upgraded everything, software, iMovie in iTunes, and Apple Configurator. Everytime I upload iMovie into Configurator it shows I only have 2 codes, while on the other MacAir, it shows it as free.

    Can I import photos from iPhoto ('08; 7.1.5) into latest version of Aperture without upgrading my iPhoto to the iPhoto '11 version?
    To elaborate a bit on TD's answer:
    You can import only folders of images or selected image files that have been exported from older iPhoto libraries, not the libraries themself.
    Aperture 3.4.5 cannot work with iPhoto Libraries that have not been upgraded to iPhoto 9.4. or later at all:
    You cannot open them in Aperture:
    And you cannot import them as a library to create an Aperture library from the older iPhoto Library.
    Without upgrading to iPhoto '11 your only option would be to export your original images and the edited versions from iPhoto '08 and to import the folders of images into Aperture. That would be a lot of work, a waste of disk space, and break the lossless workflow.  You will clutter your Aperture library with duplicates (version and edite image) that are no proper original-version pairs.
    For a smooth transit from iPhoto to Aperture I strongly recommend to bite the bullet and to upgrade to iPhoto '11  to upgrade your iPhoto libraries to the new version 9.4.3 to preserve all the previous work - albums, books, ratings - you have done in iPhoto.

  • Export / Import Mapping into Different Project in same repository

    Hi,
    Any one tell me, its this possible?
    We have one repository ( OWB 10 R2 ) and two projects named dev_project and test_project.
    We want to copy or (export /import) the mappings from dev_project to test_project, how to do this? It seems export and import can be done if the servers are different (also it is possible to recover from the back up to the same server and same project.)
    Thanks in advance
    -NB

    I don't use 10gr2, but with 9.2 it is possible to do this, but you need to modify the MDL file before importing it.
    ** Before doing this, I'd recommend you export everything from your design repository to be safe **
    Export the object(s) from DEV_PROJECT to an MDL file. Then open the MDL file in your favorite text editor and rename the project from DEV_PROJECT to TEST_PROJECT. Then import the MDL file back into the repository matching by name (NOT UOID).
    I'd recommend you not do this, however. Why do you need a seperate project for test and dev? Why not create another runtime repository connection in your project so that you can deploy to both the development and test environment from the same project?

  • Can I import without creating a project?

    I imported a previously final-edited home video into iMovie, but it views it as a project and the clips are out of order. Is there a way to import the video "straight," i.e. not as a project and without added transitions etc. that iMovie might add, so I can burn DVDs?

    Thank you, Appleman; even though a video neophyte, another "why didn't I think of that?" moment. Looks like I can do that, but is there a way to save it so I could make more copies later? Or perhaps a DVD duplicator would be easier. BTW, it was created in iMovie and copied back to the camera.

  • Can NOT Import iMovie from 2005

    I have an old iMovie project that was created in 2005; I don't know the version of iMovie that created it but the file extensions in the project include .iMovie2Project and .iMovieProj
    I'd like to import into a recent vintage of iMovie; I tried to open it with iMovie 9.0.9 but the import button stayed greyed out regardless of the file or folder I selected.
    Can someone tell me:
    What's the most recent version of iMovie that will open this project created in 2005?  (Perhaps I can resurrect an older version of iMovie from an install disk.
    Is there any other way to get this imported into a current version of iMovie, other than re-importing the original footage from my video camera?
    Thank you for your time and attention.

    Right click on those files and choose "Show Contents".
    Dig around through the folders to find your original clips.Make a new Desktop folder and drag what you want into it. Use those clips in your newer version of iMovie.

  • Can't Save iMovie 09 Video Project

    I tried importing clips from my new Canon Vixia RF-H10 camcorder into iMovie 09. No problem. I created a new video project and dragged clips from events, trimmed clips, added titles and transitions. Smooth as silk. I tried publishing the video project to Media Browser. Done and done. But when I quit iMovie 09 and re-open my video project (which is listed in my "Movies" folder and appears in the Project list in iMovie), my edited clips, titles, and transitions aren't there! I need to begin all over again! What am I doing wrong? (I can't find any "Save" command).

    Hi Richard,
    There is no Save command in iMovie '09 - it's supposed to save automatically. However, there have been other reports on the forum about projects not being saved. This happened to me once, but had only a minor impact on my work, thankfully. There must be a particular set of circumstances that sometimes causes iMovie not to save.
    Probably all I can offer is to delete (trash) iMovie's preference file. It's found in your user Home>Library>Preferences folder and is named "com.apple.iMovie8.plist". Close iMovie before doing this. When next opened, iMovie will create a new file with the default settings. You may need to change some settings to suit your own preference. Trashing the file will not damage your Projects or Events but may fix iMovie's odd behaviour.

  • Can't drag imovie clips to project window to export them

    I just finished interviewing someone remotely where he was recording his video on his mac with imovie. The recording went great but when he tried to drag the raw footage to the project window so he could export them to me, he could not drag them. They just kept bouncing back. He does not need to edit the clips just export them to me. The files are not unusually big. Why can't he drag them to the project window?

    Hi
    Did he first - in the Project window - create a new project (PLUS SIGN - down to the right) ?
    must do that first
    then open this new project and drag event clips to it (I keep alt-key down when clicking down on one event clip to get all of it)

  • The Imovie instaled in my MacBook Pro can't imported iMovie for iOS

    Hello,
         I've been trying to open an IMovie in my MacBook Pro that I transferred from my IPad through ITunes. However I receive the following message from the IMovie: This version of iMovie cannot import Trailers created in iMovie for iOS. I have IMovie 11 installed and it has all current updates.
    Any help will be appreciated,
    Thanks,

  • Can't Import DTS files to project

    Hi, there,
    I passed through a lot of warning and error messages basically due to some kinds of bugs in the temperates ( PGC error, OPS error 0X00000020 ) and not supporting MPG audio files ( End of file error ) I could work out, but there is still one I can't fix.
    When importing DTS files to Encore DVD 2.0, I have the message
    " DTS audio is supported in this version of Encore, but not during the preview, It cannot be played during production, but will be written correctly to DVD, etc...."
    I click ok then this other message pop-up:
    " The software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. Installing the correct decoders for the files you are working with may help to correct the problem. "
    Then it stops to import
    I download all codecs for DTS but it doesn't solve the problem.
    I haven't seen any problem of that kind im the forum comments. So everybody can import DTS files to a project.
    Please, it would be great if someone can tell me how to do it.
    Thanks a lot.

    No problem to reimport the M2V and AC3 files but I got that warning message since the beginning.
    Then I install the codecs K-Lite Codec pack i downloded from the Internet. It didn't solve the problem.
    I've got those OS Errors while using the Mod Soccer Submenu. psd temperate when I tried to delete it because of a "end of file" error message when burning as DVD files on the hard disc.
    Those warning desappeared immediatly after I restarted the computer and deleted that temperate from the project menu and replaced it with an other. I am not the only one who's having problem with that specific temperate.( Read from other users comments )
