I'm having the same problem opening iMovies with FCE, it looks like it's going to open, then the app just crashes. I am using audio files made with Garage Band, but no copyright protected songs or anything purchased from iTunes.

Logic crashes when trying to open a Garageband project file

Hey guys,
Since discovering that software instrument apple loops (SIAL) do NOT include the effects/sends when they are imported into logic, a discussion on here mentioned that when opened in Garageband, the effects are included. The suggestion was that by opening a garageband project in logic, the effects/sends would all be imported into logic from garage band.
This worked fine for a couple of software instruments such as '80's Dance Bass Synth' but strangely every time i try to open a garageband project file in logic with any of the software instrument loops 'Classic Rock Steel' or 'Southern Rock Guitar' logic crashes trying to open it. It usually loads up until an effect such as channel eq, platinumverb, or ducker and then stops loading and freezes.
It is really odd that it seems to be related to those guitar loops. So i was wondering if anyone has a fix, or if someone could spare a minute of their time and make a garageband project with a 'Southern Rock Guitar 2' software loop and try to open this project file in Logic - just to see if it is a problem with my logic, or if it is the same for everybody.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
Nick.

QT7 Pro crashes trying to open .m4v movie files...Help!

I just purchased QT 7 Pro. I also use Handbrake to pull content off DVDs (I work in the film industry). I ripped several 5 min. scenes in Handbrake and they encode as .m4v files. I want to shorten and re-encode them for use on a website. I'd like to do this in QT 7 Pro, but it crashes trying to open any of these .m4v files. I tried renaming the file extension to .mov or mp4, but no luck.
I assumed this would be simple, seeing that QT is obviously mpeg4 compatible and .m4v is the iTunes format extension for movies. Any help out there?

Try Wondershare Video Converter. They also make Wondershare DVD Ripper and I believe you can choose what format the resulting video is be made into. They also make Wondershare DVD Copy

Opening iMovie 6 Projects in Final Cut Pro?

I have a load of unfinished iMovie 6 HD projects that I'd like to finish in Final Cut Pro, firstly is it possible to open iMovie 6HD projects in FCP and if so how?
Thanks

Not a very good way obviously as you you'd have a string of shot with no handles. FCP doesn't work in the same format DV as iMovie does, so the audio will need to be rendered. The best thing is to try opening the project and see if it works. You could try taking the media from inside the iMovie package and reconsidering the project in FCP, but again the video format is not the same and will need rendering.

Will iMovie HD open iMovie 08 Project?

Based on what I've read, I can't see iMovie 08 replacing iMovie HD, but I could see it being useful in just the sort of circumstances it seems intended for -- a quickie movie that can be shared right away.
I could also, however, see myself wanting to fine-tune a quickie project created in iMovie 08 by using iMovie HD.
Will iMovie HD open iMovie 08 projects? If not, can anyone suggest a way to, in effect, have the best of both worlds?
Thanks

Projects cannot be shared between iMovie '06 and iMovie '08. '08 can import '06 projects with some documented limitations. There is no quality loss going in that direction. To go from '08 to '06, you have to export your project as a movie file. Your best choise is using the Quicktime DV Stream format, as that is the native format for iMovie '06. Then import your movie into a new project in iMovie '06. You will get one long clip in iMovie '06, will all effects, transitions, and titles rendered. There is a slight quality loss in the process, as iMovie '08 is not a DV editing application, and re-encodes your clips, even if they were in DV format originally.

I was exporting one of my iMovie projects, and then iMovie suddenly froze. I restarted my computer but when I opened iMovie my project wasn't there anymore. I don't have time machine is there a way to get my project back? PLEASE HELP

If the system just Restarted on it's own, Shut down while you were working on something then started back up all those changes, edits, you had done in that app, document, are gone.

AE CS6 crashes while trying to open CS5.5 project

Just downloaded the demo of CS6, but am having a nightmare trying to open my CS5.5 project. I get the following error message
After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Shadow/Highlight".
I tried opening a different project, and a similar error occurs, but with a different plugin. This time it's the Paint plugin.
After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Paint".
Any suggestions?

Okay.
Using After Effects CS6 trying to open a project that was created in AE CS5.5
Running Mac OS X 10.7.4 on a Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB graphics card
2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
24 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
Source footage is mostly DPX files, some ProRes quicktimes and PSD files as well. It's a rather large project. The project file weighs in at 328 MB
Not running any other software. still crashes.
I do have Flip4Mac installed... The project also references missing plug-ins. See screencap. These plugins are in the project but are not turned on...
Thats the error.
I disabled render frames simultaneously. I tried enabling caps lock, still crashes. One thing to note is the project pieces start showing up before it crashes, so it is loading most if not all of the project before it crashes... Anything else that might be important to figuring this out?

Trouble opening iMovie v4 project in iMovieHD 6

I just tried to open an iMovie 4 project in v6. I agreed to have it convereted, and up it came with no errors. The clips are all there in the right order and length, and the music is in place. However, the clips are like ghosts. Just black with no audio.
It should be noted that I recovered this project from a failing hard drive using Data Rescue II. However, I did import the entire project folder. Any ideas?

Karl,
Thanks very much for your reply. I tried to keep it simple, but here's the details:
I was able to successfully recover an iMovie v5 project and open it in iMovie v6. The v5 projects appear as just one file (correct?), which probably helped out a lot in this case.
I'm still recovering files intermittently from this dead hard drive (on an iMac G3). So, I haven't had a chance to try to open in the v4 project within iMovie v4. I will do that after I've recovered all desired files, replaced the hard drive, and re-installed Tiger and iLife (according to your suggestion, I would do well to install iLife '04, not iLife '05 on this iMac).
This brings up the next question. Some of my previous movies were created in iMovie v2 or v3. It sounds like your advice is to open them in the oldest possible version of iLife. Is that right? Or, otherwise you suggest that I move the Quicktime movie file from the old projects into a new folder and then open it that way. How does that work with this apparently streamlined iMovie HD project file?
Lastly, a short description of my experience with Data Rescue II. It has performed superbly for my situation. Based on the last message this iMac displayed before crashing, I think perhaps my hard drive simply lost the ability to write. But, it appears to have retained the ability to read, so I've been able to recover all the files that I've wanted to so far. I believe that I was lucky. Data Rescue II is great because there is a free demo on-line that allows to see and scan your injured drive. If you can't, you don't buy the software. Very good idea!
Thanks again for your help.

AP crash - can't open/copy/backup project

Hi,
got a disaster here:
Aperture crash while I was making selections. I was able to open Aperture once, all it did was recovering smart albums, but it would not show any files at all. The project has all masterfiles included. I tried to copy the whole project to another harddrive - but it just stops. I had to pul the power plug on the HD to get at least the finder back.
I believe that there is a corrupt file inside the package. How can I find it? What else can I do? I have not tried to open the project again - would like to get a backup first.
I did all "normal fixes" like repair permissions and repair disk - there were no problems.
One more hint, when I try to copy the project to another Harddrive I'm not able to eject the harddrive - I have to pul the plug to get at least the finder back.
Any ideas?? Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Chances are low but you might get lucky.
If the projects were originally in the Home/Movies/iMovie Projects and Home/Movies/iMovie Events respectively on the other Mac, there is a chance you could move them to the corresponding folders on your Mac and they might work. At that point, you could use iMovie to move them where you like. If they used photos or music in the project, they would probably be missing,

Trouble opening iMovie HD6 projects on iMovie 08.

Hi there,
I have just bought a new iMac, with iMovie 08. I have all my prior projects, created in iMovie HD6 stored on a LaCie external drive. The projects read and open on my laptop (running iMovie 06), but show blank files when plugged into the new iMac. How do I get them to open on both?

iMovie 08 cannot 'read' all of iMovie HD6's transitions/effects and will show blank files if you try to open version 6 movies with iMovie 08. You can download a free version of iMovie 6... version 6.0.4. This is the same as version 6.0.3, but it is only available to those of us who purchased new Macs that have iLife 08 preinstalled. The reason for this is for exactly what you are finding. You still need iMovie 6 to open your older projects and probably for creating new ones.Both versions of iMovie can coexist on the same computer......
Just tried looking for 6.0.4 and cannot find it...Maybe it is in the iLife updater released today. Will check and let you know.

Opening iMovie '08 Projects from Different Installation

Hi -
Question 1:
I have 10 iMovie '08 projects saved on a USB HD from a prior installation of iMovie '08. I cannot open these projects or, make iMovie '08 "see" them at all. I can right-click the files and view the contents where I see the different size movies ('Large', 'Mobile', etc.) that I created. How do I access these project files in my new iMovie '08 installation?
Question 2:
I want to configure iMovie '08 so that the default location for ALL actions is an external HD volume. I do not want any files associated with movie production to ever be saved in the ~/Movies directory of my home directory. Is this even possible? I tried the symlink trick noted elsewhere in this forum, but it did not work. (Actually, the symlink process worked fine but, iMovie '08 still saves projects in ~/Movies.) My editing need are technically simple but, I have a lot of files and want to tightly manage the results. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I had the same problem...I created a movie on my laptop while away for Christmas and tried to transfer it to my iMac when I returned.
What worked for me was to copy the movie into the iMovie 08's Project Library folder - it apparently it looks there for movies when launching. I found the folder by opening a finder window and then searching for a movie that was already in the iMovie project library. My folder is located in my Movie folder and is called "iMovie Projects".
I hope this helps!
I don't have an answer to your second question. Sorry

Open imovie 6 project in imovie9

I have seen many threads saying "file, import, imovie hd project".. I have tried, and all I get is a new event in the Library with the relevabt name but with no content. It says "no matching video" I have 25gb of content! The project is on an external hard drive and is clearly visable, not greyed out. Anyone know what I am doing wrong.
I can clearly extract the files somehow and start from scratch ...but......
Project opens fine in imovie 6 on my old iBook from the external.

Thanks Winston. That is what I was finding and, as you explain, I can find ways round it by exporting or converting the files. The thread at:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11218827#11218827
seemed to imply that you could import and certainly doing "file, import, imovie HD project" does make it look as if it is possible - until nothing much happens!
Fortunately the project really has nothing much in it apart from the raw video so not much lost. I really just dumped the files so I could reuse the video cam memory card.
Thanks for your help.

Open iMovie 09 project in iMovie 08?

I'm trying to open a project that was created in iMovie 09 with iMovie 08. The only way I've figured out to do this is to export the 09 project and then import it as a movie into 08 then drag the event to a project. Are there any other ways to do this?
thanks!

Problem with opening iMovie 2 projects in iMovie 5I submitted this question

I submitted this question some time ago and had some interaction with Lennart Thelander but it was never resolved. I didn't explain my question in as much detail as perhaps necessary to understand what happened, so I will try again.
I was using iMovie 2 for years and created many projects consisting of portions of clips split and moved around, audio, titles, transitions, the works, all dragged into the timeline and saved. Earlier this year I got iMovie 5 HD. When I opened one of my iMovie 2 projects, this message appeared:
"The project “home again home again” was saved with an older version of iMovie. Opening it in this version will cause it to be upgraded, which will make it unreadable by older versions. Are you sure you want to open it?"
I assumed that this could only make for improvement of the project, so I hit OK. When the project opened, the clips were now all exactly "9:28" in length (i.e. 10 minutes), and all the original breakdown of components (above-mentioned) was lost. It seems that iMovie 5 simply flattened the iMovie 2 project and broke it into 10 minutes segments.
My main question is whether there is any way to restore the original movie in its previous fom, with all the component parts. If I want to use any of those video clips in another movie, I need the original clips, which iMovie 5 seems to have flattened and essentially destroyed.

Hi
There are two levels of problem here
A. How to Copy Event's and Project's to external hard disks
- CAN NOT BE DONE - via DeskTop/Finder - must be done within the iMovie application
- The external hard disk must be - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - UNIX / DOS / FAT32 / Mac OS Exchange - do not work for Video
B. Regarding Audio and photos used in Movie Project's
- There is NO Copy of them (or video) in Your Project.
- The Project is no movie at all - it is just a small TEXT document pointing to where material is stored and howto it's supposed to be presented as the Movie You are making.
IF Audio and Photos are not copies over to the external hard disk - and in Your movie introduced from this new storage - the new Mac can not find and connect to this material. It just don't work.
To move
• iTunes
• GarageBand
• iPhoto
Libraries to the external hard disk - so that the New environment will find and connect to is - has never worked for me.
I maker a dedicated folder and put copies (of audio and photos etc.) into this - and when copied over to external hard disk - re-import them (one at a time) into my movie project. Now iMovie on second Mac will know what and where to look for it/them.
Yours Bengt W
