Create space in imovie & backup projects and used clips

My imovie app. is full of projects and the clips used to make them. Wondering best way to organize and safely export both to clear space on the HD?

Chet,
If you have one large Source Clip, and only have a small instance of it, the link to the large Source Clip will be unchanged.
That physical Clip is not in your PRPROJ file, but is only linked to, so it does not affect anything, regarding size.
If you have to pare things down to just that instance of the Clip, you could then Export to an intermediate file, say with the Lagarith Lossless CODEC, and then just Import that resultant file into a new Project. Again, in the PRPROJ file, there will only be a link to that intermediate file.
Good luck,
Hunt

Creating a Master virtual hard disk and using the same for all other VM's

Hi,
We would like to create a master virtual hard disk and use the same for all other VM's. Can we do that ?
my requirements :
1) create 10 VM's
2) first create a master virtual hard disk with win OS and use the same to create the 10 VM's.
3) After creating the VM's change the HDD size.
              -- if i have created master virtual disk with 500GB , and use the same for creating a virtual machine. can we change the HDD size to 1TB ?
After creating the VM's ,i will change the system names and activate the windows accordingly.
Will there be any implications ,if we can/will do like this.
Thanks.

Hi Suren424,
I think Using Differencing Disks may cover your needs .
Please refer to following setps:
   "Create the Parent Virtual Machine Configuration and Virtual Hard Disk
    Install the Operating System, updates, and common software
    Generalize the installation
    Prepare the parent virtual hard disk
    Create the differencing disks
    Create virtual machines that use the differencing disks
For details please refer to follwing link:

Can I import HTMLs from inside the project and use as portlet page ?

As you know, I am using Java Studio Creator 2 Update 1 for my current portal project. I have created JSR-168 JSF Portlet Project for my portlet development.
As I have some html pages ready for my development,
Can I import HTMLs from inside the project and use as portlet page for my project?
I did the followings steps:
1: In side the project - File -> Add Existing Item -> Web Page ( imported test.html page from my local folder)
2: Let it convert some of the tags for me ( so now it becomes - �test.jsp� )
3: Set it to initial view.
4. A default portlet page � newPortletPage.jsp is still there with no initial view.
Now after doing this, No Visual Designer and Properties window available to for that �test.jsp� page. Though it allowed me to �build� the project successfully.
When I build and run the portlet application, got the error message �Error occurred in portlet!� on Pluto Portal. Please advice.

You do not open fcpproject files. You don't double click or anything else. The files have to be in the correct folder structure in the Final Cut Projects folder and the application opens them automatically. Can you post screen shots of the Final Cut Projects folder and its location.

Include or create a view in the database and use this view?

Well, I need to get related data of the main table from another related tables, so one way to do that is to use the Include method in Entity Framework to get this related data.
However, I am thinking in another option, create a view in the database and use this view in entity framework. In this way, I avoid the needed of the include, because I think that is expensive in resources. But I am no very sure about that.
I would like to know if the use of views on entity framework is a good idea to improve the performace or is better to use the include.
For example, if I use the include I have the advantage that I get only one the main record and all the related data I have in the navigation properties, so the info is more shorted.
Which is the advanteges and disadvantages of both methods to get related data in entity framework?
Thank so much.

Hello ComptonAlvaro,
>>I would like to know if the use of views on entity framework is a good idea to improve the performace or is better to use the include.
If your view would use a Join syntax to query master-child relationship tables, it actually is similar with the Include() method which actually results a duplicate records from master table, you could check this
link for detail description.
>>Which is the advanteges and disadvantages of both methods to get related data in entity framework?
One visible difference is that records from Views are not editable by default(if you want edit them, you could refer to this
blog).
In your case, my suggestion that you could use the lazying load which will load the matter table once and disable the trace if you only need to display data.

I have an iMac about a year old. It has OSX 10.8.3 with iMovie 9.0.8. Is there a way to get iMovie to store and use iMovie Events on an external drive? Raw video is eating up my 1TB internal drive.

I have an iMac about a year old. It has OSX 10.8.3 with iMovie 9.0.8. Is there a way to get iMovie to store and use iMovie Events on an external drive? Raw video is eating up my 1TB internal drive.

Yes, you can import to an external drive by choosing it from the Import Screen.
Once an Event or Project is in iMovie, it is best to move it to the external using iMovie, so the Project does not lose links to the Event.
For full instructions on how to do this, see this link.

Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its Encore

My project is edited in CS4.
I moved it to Encore CS4.
I don't want to use any of the supplied menu templates in CS4 Encore.
I was hoping CS4 would be all I needed to create custom menus using scenes from my project.
My question is: Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its built in Encore or do I need some other element from the Adobe catalog to make these custom chapter menus and sub-menus?
Thanks Jim

OK, I'm back. Here are my steps for creating Custom Menus with PS, En and PrPro:
In PrPro, move the CTI (Current Time Indicator) to the desired Frame. Check Frames on either side, with the Program Monitor’s Magnification to 100%, or maybe even 200% (you’ll need to scroll, but get a really clear picture). You want the clearest Frame in that area. With AME, in CS4, you’ll want to Export that Frame as .TIFF, or .BMP. I use .TIFF for this.
Now, for a caveat. When you Import this Exported Frame into Photoshop, be sure to check the specs., especially the PAR. You may have to use Image>PAR to adjust this to match your Project’s specs. Or, all might be perfect - just check this out.
Now, at this point, I choose the Library Menu, Blank, so that everything is setup. One can create the Menu from scratch, but careful attention needs to be paid to the exact naming conventions. At the very least, unless you’ve done this dozens of times before, use that Blank Menu, or similar as a guide, so you get things done, as they must be done.
Using that Blank Menu, just drag the Layer from your Exported Frame to your Menu image. It will appear above the black Background.
Add, or manipulate your Button Layer Sets, as is required, keeping them together. Remember that Button #1 will be the Button Layer Set, that is lower down in the Layers Palette. This can play a roll with Button Routing, back in Encore. Lower Button Layer Sets will have lower Button numbers.
Now, I always rename my Button Layer Sets, keeping the required characters - just changing the name. I also do all of my Button text in PS, and make sure to turn OFF Sync Button Names.
When done, Save_As .PSD, and then Import_As_Menu into Encore. Note: if you start with the Blank Menu, you can choose Edit in Photoshop, and then when done in PS, you just need to Save, and it will update in Encore. This is a personal workflow choice. I do the Edit in Photoshop route, but it is not necessary. One just needs to Import the resulting .PSD into Encore with Import_As_Menu, so that Encore does all the things that it needs to and recognizes the .PSD as a Menu.
When deciding what to base your Menu on, remember that you can "populate" your Menu with Buttons from the Functional Content. I’d suggest studying these Assets, and picking the ones that work best for you. You can still alter/edit those back in PS, so you just need to "get close."
Pay special attention to the required naming conventions. You cannot deviate from those first characters in the Button Layer Sets. They MUST be followed.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
Good luck,
Hunt

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

Trying to move iMovie '11 project and event to another drive

Hello,
I'm trying to move some iMovie '11 projects and their associated events to another hard drive, as my start up drive is full. I currently have projects and events on my startup drive and also on an secondary internal hard drive. That drive along with several others, shows up in my Event Library list. I have tried clicking on my project both with the Command key and without, to drag it to another hard drive that is listed in my Event Library. The hard drive does not "light up" and I don't get the option to "move project or move project and events." I've tried a reboot of the application and the computer. No luck. Is something wrong with my iMovie application? Or is there something else I can try?
Thanks!
Catherine

Here is a writeup on how to do this.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4141
One thing to notice is that there is an error in iMovie help. It says to drag the icon for the project to the icon for the external drive in the Event library. This is wrong. You drag the project icon to the icon for the external drive in the Project Library. For the Events, you drag the icon for the Event to the icon for the external drive in the Event Library.

MacBook Pro: Distorted video or no video issues . The affected computers were manufactured between approximately May 2007 and September 2008.

I made a duplicate copy of an imovie HD project and when I updated the titles on the copy, the video stuttered . I'm using Snow Leopard OSX. The length of the movie increased unexpedtedly too.

I made a duplicate of an imovie HD project so I could have two different versions. I tried making the copies both by using File> Duplicate and the Save As command in imovie.
When I changed the title on the copy, the video stuttered when I played it back. Also the overall length of the movie increased by about 6 seconds throwing off some sync even though the replacement title was exactly the same length in seconds and frames as the one I replaced.
any thoughts how to fix this?
I'm using OSX 10.6.8.
thanks.

*24 December 2009*
*Dear Mac Users:*
Hello. Thanks to AppleMan1958 for answering my question about how to edit an iMovie project
on another computer.
Here is a question related to the process of transferring the iMovie '09 project file from my friend's
computer to an external drive so that I can edit that project in iMovie '09 on my MacBook Pro:
How do I know if my Smart Disk FireLite portable external drive is formatted to MAC OS X Extended (journaled)? How I do format this Smart Disk FireLite USBFLB80C to MAC OS X Extended (journaled)?
When I connect the Smart Disk FireLite to my MacBook Pro via USB, open iMovie '09, and select View
Events By Disk or rather "Group Events By Disk," an icon for the FireLite external drive appears, but there is a yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark on the icon for the external drive. What does this "warning" mean? There are MP3s of music on the same external drive and they open just fine in iTunes. The one iMovie project file that is already on the drive will not open up in iMovie.
So, how do I properly format this external drive in order to transfer an iMovie project file from my friend's computer so that I can edit it on my MacBook Pro using iMovie '09?
Sincerely,
Corey

Create space in iMovie app on ipad

I'm trying to create space on an ipad running iOS 7.0.4. I have a number of iMovie projects on it. I first shared two big projects with iTunes on my iMac, but then I discovered that I could not import the .iMovieMobile files that were created into my iMovie v10. Then I tried to "Save Video" in iMovie on the ipad, initially choosing a large format file. It got part way through then told me that there was not enough space to complete. So I tried a slightly smaller format file, and the same thing happened. Finally I tried the smallest format file and the same thing happened. Then I realized that these partially completed files appeared to be persisting on the ipad somewhere, because my free space went from about 8 GB to virtually nothing. I need to create space on the ipad by deleting the partial files fut have not figured out how to do this. I restarted the ipad, tried synching it (got error message), and tried hooking up to a different iMac. Does anyone know how to get rid of these? Thanks for any help.

on the iphone it is not possible to create albums you have to create them from you computer and sync it with itunes

Create a dvd from past project and event moved to external hard drive

i have version 7.04 DVD. Moved several projects and events to external hard drive. How do I go to "existing dvd projects" and create a dvd from a completed past dvd project? do i have to move the project and event back to the iMac hard drive..thanks

A iDVD project contain links to the various elements you have used to make the project. Unless you have actually saved the project as an iDVD Project Archive (an option under FILE in iDVD) which can be a very large file because it actually contains all the elements used in the project with adjusted links, simply moving a project (and/or elements used in the project) breaks all the necessary links. Sometimes you can reestablish the links (iDVD usually gives you a chance to try), but it can't always be done.
Good luck.

IMovie - Archiving projects and events

I use iMovie 11, 9.09 (1795)
1. I have some older projects and events that I moved onto external drives and now I have read that you loose stuff when you move them with finder and not in iMovie. What do you loose and is there any way to recover them?
2. I want to confirm that the right way to move them onto an external drive is to use command-drag within iMovie
3. If the project in iMovie is at the top, and my drive is at the bottom off the screen, how do I drag it down to the drive off the screen? It doesn't scroll down to it.
Thanks!

Move all iMovie 11 Projects and Events to new location

I'm looking to move all of my projects and events to an external HD. I understand that you have to do this from within iMovie and it seems simple enough to move all events but the only way I've found to move Projects is individually - I've got a lot of projects, is there a way to move ALL projects in one go?

John,
You don't have to put everything in one library - it is often useful to have several. Have a look at: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov3fa25bae7 on how to organize your stuff. Since you have a lot it is worth planning how to organize it before you go ahead.
Consolidate library just makes sure that all media exists in the library as a copy not as links to files elsewhere. It does not copy anything from other libraries. (http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov882dee351)
If you have projects that you are in the middle of working on you may want to consider finishing them in iMovie 9. iMovie 10 has a quite different user interface and will take some time to get familiar with.
Geoff.

IMovie - no Projects and no events

When I first opened iMovie 10 I almost had a heart attack when all my projects were there with no media! Thank God I can still use the previous version of iMovie!
I tried this solution but iMovie keeps crashing when trying to re-import the media.
Is anyone experiencing the same problem?
TIA

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.
