Clips do not load into iMovie Project Browser

I have imported a full feature Creative Commons movie into iMovie to edit for a short music video. It downloaded in MP4 format and originally loaded into the Project browser but would not let me split clips. I've tried converting it to .MOV in MPEG Streamclip and now the clips don’t even show up in the Project Browser. I see the clips in the Event Browser but they will not load into Project Browser. I've tried converting it to .MOV in Quicktime where I was able to split a clip. I then tried to import that whole movie file into iMovie but it won’t import. What am I doing wrong?

When I have the iMovie Library (with the sub-file which iMovie-generated titled of “2015”) selected in the Sidebar the clips show in the Event Browser window but not in Project Browser window. The sub-file to “2015” is my movie name. When I select this file, the Event Browser goes black with white-lettered words: “No clips found.” There are no clips in the Project Browser as well.

IDVD not loading my iMovie projects

Hello,
I really, really, hope someone can help.
I created a film in iMovie and would like to create a DVD with chapters/menus etc using iDVD.
Once I had finished my film and set the chapters etc I went to Share -> Media Browser and selected HD 720 and clicked publish.This seemed to work fine and took some time as my film is 57mins and 33 seconds.
However, when I open iDVD, create a project and then go into the Media section by clicking on the Media button and then clicking on Movies..it just says "Loading iMovie Projects...."
Now I'm not sure how long I should have to wait...but nothing happens....it just says that message and nothing...just the swirling icon to say it's loading....
- Now I don't even have many projects in iMovie...about 4 and they aren't as big as this one which I have been working on for some time.
After doing some research I have been able to double check imovie shared the movie (from what I did in Media Browser) as their is a .mov file in the 'Show Package Contents' of the original iMovie project file called: "720p.MOV".
Not sure how it all works but I want iDVD to allow me to access the film I shared in Media Browser and then create a DVD that has all the chapters I set in iMovie and so allows me to create a good DVD with all the sub-menu's etc.
I hope all that makes sense? I just really am struggling to understand why the iMovie projects won't load in iDVD?!? All this work for nothing?? I hope not!
I was advised to create the DVD this way - I know there is another way to do it in iMovie - Share -> iDVD.....I think I did try that once and it crashed but do I need to do it this way? will that work?
Hope someone can help and advise me of a way to do this. I don't want to burn this as a DVD without chapters and slick menu's. I was really counting on iMovie and iDVD to work. The screenshot of what is happening follows:
I am using iDVD 7.1.2, iMovie 11 and a 2008 MacBook Pro (2.2 GHz Dual Core Intel) with 4gb ram and the rather crappy geforce 8600M GT with 128mb.
Thanks

To test if - trash pref file is right You can Safely do
• Start a new User-Account (Apple / System pref/set-up / Accounts
• Log out and into this
• Try iDVD - Does it now beheave - then trashing iDVD.pref file can be of big help (in original Account)
Delete iDVD pref file
• Delete iDVD pref. file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref. file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named.
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
( 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. )

Windows media player plugin downloads onto my computer but will not load into my UX browser ???

an using windows 7 and UX as a browser. i can find the folder where windows media plugin loads but it does not show up in the browser.

Hi finitarry,
Is your answer intended as a solution? If so, in what way?
I've now re-installed the Firefox WMP plug-in (even though my system already had it installed) and it still will not show up in the FF 5 add-ons/plug-ins manager and FF5 still will not play an embedded WMV video file.
Are you just commenting or do you have some advice?
Thanks,

Iphoto images not loading into my media browser..

although I have deleted a lot of pics in my iphoto (now have 1,850)
Is it because my website has too many pages and photos already?
Any idea why it won't load?
Thanks!

Thanks for taking an interest - I updated it this morning, and all other software. I am using OS 10.7.5
Cheers,
Soren

Videos in iPhoto do not appear in iMovie event browser

After successfully importing 60 or so video clips into imovie:
Clips appear and function normally in iPhoto.
Clips do not appear in iMovie event browser unless they are 4 seconds in length or less.
Previous imports from the same camera worked fine.
It started happening after the most recent software updates.

Deleting the prefs did for it to activate this scan:
Upadating iPhoto video events
Scanning for new videos in your iPhoto library
But it still shows no videos in the iPhoto Video part of the Event Libary. I am using iPhoto 8.0.6 under MacOS 10.7.5.
When I choose Show Date Ranges in Events list under iMovie preferences, it shows Feb 24, 2008. What does that mean? What happened on Feb 24, 2008? I have over 1000 movies in my iPhoto Library ranging from 2005 to present.
Any other ideas? Someone suggested removing the "&" symbol from the titles of Events, which I did. Should i also remove the "&" symbol from the titles of the photos and movies? What about other symbols like ":". It seems crazy that Apple would make their software so fragile that ASCII symbols could break it.
thanks

How can I burn a copy of my project to a DVD . I do not have IDVD because I have the Lion os. I did purchase Wondershare for burning but it will not load the iMovie events or projects

There is no proper substitute for iDVD.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
“when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
“You can still use it one all of your Macs. If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
“It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date. I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected. For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

How do I reload my video clips that I recorded into iMovie?

How do I reload my video clips that I recorded into iMovie? My project is there but my original iMovie videos are gone which does not allow my iMovie to play. The screen is black. I need Help!

Please have a look at my post at:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5649660?tstart=0
where I describe what files should be present for iMovie 9 to work for someone else with a similar problem. They must either be in the users Movies folder on the start up drive or at the root level of any other partition or connected external drive.

The .prel files will not load into premiere elements 13 and says that there is a missing codec. This is a school's site llicense that we've used for more thatn a month.

GPPNeil
Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 (assumed 64 bit).
First..
1. Have you updated from 13 to the 13.1 Update using an opened project's Help Menu/Update. If not, please do so.
2. Do the problems exist if you disable the antivirus and firewall(s)?
3. Are you running the program as Administrator? Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer?
4. Have you refreshed the Online Services using Premiere Elements Editor Edit Menu/Preferences/Web Sharing?
5. Have you updated the Adobe Application Manager?
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773
6.Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
7. Lots more we could go through such as deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole
13.0 Folder in which it exists.
But, I think that you have enough things going on here to warrant an uninstall, free ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts) and then reinstall with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.

If the problems persist after all that then we will adjust to additional troubleshooting maneuvers.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

I can not open my iMovie project

I can not open my iMovie project. Everytime I click on it, the spinning wheel keeps spinning and spinning until I force quite the iMovie. Please help?

OK Let's take a step back.
If you imported video clips from a camcorder there would be an Events folder in the Movies/iMovie Events/ folder.
You have the option as you import from a camcorder to send your Event to an external drive instead. In this case, it would be in the iMovie Events folder at the top level of the external drive.
If your project has no video clips, but only photos, there may be no events folder, only links to iPhoto.
Similarly, if your camera imported your video clips to iPhoto, and you used the iPhoto event in iMovie, then your clips are in iPhoto, and there is no separate iMovie event.

Iphoto does not load into iDVD- too many photos?

Recently upgraded to Leopard 10.5.6 and iLife '09. Ever since, iPhoto will not load into iDVD (iphoto 8.0 and iDVD 7.0.3). When trying to open current and new projects in iDVD, the project opens, and plays, but the photos from iPhoto never load, the loading icon just spins on and on. When I open a new document, the same thing happens. Tried trashing preferences in both programs, reinstalling iLife, and reparing permissions. All software updates are current. Still won't work.
I am starting to wonder if it has to do with the number of photos I have in iPhoto, which is about 4000. The photos loaded with no problem until I upgraded. Could it be that the upgrades in iPhoto just make the files too large, and it's too much to expect that many photos to load? Does anyone know how many photos is too many,— or can you suggest anything I have not tired that might work?

This is from Mac Help. It is a good idea to create another account to use in troubleshooting situations such as this. After you create the new account, open iDVD from that account. Try creating a small project to see if you are having the same problems. Post back with your results.
_Adding a new user account to your computer_
You can create individual user accounts for each person who uses your computer. Each new user has a separate home folder and can adjust his or her own preferences without affecting other users.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Accounts.
If some settings are dimmed, click the lock icon and type an administrator name and password.
Click Add and type the user's name.
If you don't want to use the short name generated automatically, type a new short name. (Once the account is created, you won't be able to change the short name.)
Type the user's password in the Password and Verify boxes.
Type a hint to help the user remember the password if they have trouble remembering it at login.
Click Parental Controls and select options to determine what the user can do with the computer.
If you change your mind while you're creating a new user account, click Delete to cancel.

Do flip video cameras load into imovie?

do any flip video cameras load into imovie?

In my experience with a Flip Mino looks like it's going to work and starts out well when "Importing from Camera"but eventually it's clear that the imported clips are incomplete. The same experience has been reported in this "Community."
The FlipShare application wil import them onto your computer or you can simply drag the files inside the camera's DCIM folder onto the computer and import the files from there.
I'm recalling this process so there may be errors but I'm pretty sure that it's basically right.
Good luck,

The performance fixes is a biggy for me, though the other missing
stuff I use makes me have to use both versions for various things:
"but they seem to be committed to another release/version."
Well ... now that's the rub. I would actually welcome this intermediate version to play with (even with the cost of upgrading) if I could rely on it to be finalized into 6.0, full featured, without it taking as long as it has to Upgrade from AA3.0. I would say it was a VERY smart move to give us a preview of 6.0, if I felt in, say, six months they would provide us the fully functional update. But, HOW many years has it been. I felt screwed over while they played around with Sound Booth.
I was with you for a minute in most of what you said, until your credibility went down a couple notches with me on the statement trivializing midi functionality. I though that was a very clueless statement:
"but I have no need for a midi controller and if I want a drummer to keep perfect time I'll get a drum machine."
It does make some of your other statements suspect, tho I won't take it as far as therealdobro's "what's your stake" question.

CR files will no longer show in bridge and will not load into PS

Hi I had a problem with bridge CS6 dynamic link failing and had tech support finally help with the problem by phone They had me reinstall PSCS6 and Bridge among other things like setting the permissions differenty. It worked ok when I opened it again after those changes and then I closed the apps and opened them again the next day (today) but now the CR files will show no thumbnails nor previews in bridge and will not load into PSCS6.
I get now the following error messages
These are files that are on my system and not from a camera plugged into the computer. They had worked just fine before the reinstall and permisisons changes the tech had me do. They open in the preview app and look fine so I know they are not corrupted files and I have tried different saved versions of the same (or any other CR file) and none of them will now open and Camera raw itself seems no where to be found. My prefences in camera raw have not clanged. Any ideas??? thanks and aloha, UP
I tried image processor in bridge to make them PS files and got the following error message.
I tried to load one of the CR files from the finder dirretly and got the following error message.
Any help would be appreciated. If the post goes inanswered I will call tech support again. aloha UP

HI, I managed to fix the trouble by reinsatalling once again and running updates BEFORE opening bridge. It seemed that if I ran the update AFTER opening bridge I would get either an up to date status when checking for updates or I would get an install failure notice on all 4 updates that were trying to install. The updates were for camera raw, bridge and PS. I can't explain why but that helped a little. I also changed permissions on my whole user accnt to include read/write for all users. I can't say if this helped or not. I also had to go into my camera B/U files on a sepate HD and replace some of the CR folders I was using o nthe desktop. Still the CR files would not show a thumb nor a preview till I then went to each individual file inside that folder and purged the cashe for that file so it could repopulate the cashe yet again. This has been the strangest few days in PSCS6 history! Well my personal history. I will report back here if more quirks emerge. I would prefer quarks though....aloha, U

Why do some AVI files not import into iMovie?

Some of my AVI video does not import into iMovie. When I try, it gives me a non-specific error message. Is there a way I can import it? Other AVI files import with no problem.

AVI is a container, not a format; the audio and video in an AVI may use any codec, and some codecs can't be used in Mac OS X. Installing Perian may help.
