Front Row cannot see my iMovie Projects

Navigating to the iMovie Projects menu in Front Row brings up a 'No content found' message. I can see the projects in iMovie and have tried sharing in the Media Browser - but no luck!
Front Row can however see iMovie events without any problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Patrick

I moved my iMovie Events to an external HDD to save space on my primary HDD. I did this via iMovie, so my iMovie Projects remained intact and I was able to continue to view my iMovie Events (whether on internal/external HDD) no problem. However, iMovie Events on my external HDD were not visible in Front Row. Is there a way that I can have it both ways whereby I can store my iMovie Events on my external HDD and have Front Row be able to access them?
Perhaps the solution is to "Share" my iMovie Projects to iTunes, in which case the shared files will be saved on my primary HDD and visible in Front Row. I want to avoid this, if possible, as this is just an extra step that consumes space on my primary HDD and my iPod.
Thanks.

  • Cannot burn an iMovie project to a DVD because the computer can't find iDVD.  Anyone know how to accomplish this task.

    Cannot burn an iMovie project to a DVD because the computer can't find iDVD.  Anyone know how to accomplish this task.

    Macs don't come bundled with iDVD anymore. If you have an older Mac that came with an iLife disk, you can install iDVD from that.
    If your Mac didn't come with iDVD, you can still find iLife '11 disks in some stores.
    There are other programs that can create DVDs, but I've never used them. From what I've heard, they're not as good as iDVD.

  • Latest version iMovie: cannot see clips in project OR event browser, but they are there in both libraries! So cannot create/edit/publish ANYTHING.

    HI All. I have been having a HECK of a time with iMovie 11!!!  Converted a bunch of video to .mov format, imported into iMovie, and created a project. No problem. Finalized, and published to iTunes, no problem. Saves extra copies. No Problem. SO ... I want to create another project, and follow the instructions RELIGIOUSLY. I can import the video files into the event library, and can drag them into a newly created project, but I CANNOT see the clips in the browser pane for events or library! When I click the playhead in either the event library or the project library (where the clips are edited - supposedly), they play (ie, i hear the audio just fine) ... but NO real-time playback.  ALSO - the video no longer plays for the already completed project when I click the playhead - same deal - not in the project browser, not in the event browser. The playhead runs, but as it moves from thumbnail to thumbnail, each one goes black, and no video plays in real time in the other pane. I closed out of iMovie, did a restart, repaired permissions. No change. I get no error messages, and can find no way to 'reassociate' a project with a set of clips (like one can do in software like Illustrator etc).HELP!!!

    I've spent 3 hours in Apple Covent Garden trying to have this fixed. Most of those were spent doing something to content in iPhoto. It didn't work. Then I left them my computer to reinstall software (Snow Leopard and iMovie) which they said they could do better than me and my discs. But I got back a computer with a new user profile and no files. When I used Time Machine to restore my files to my old profile the problem was just as before except now I've lost a week worth of photos, despite the Time Machine file having been saved just hours before I gave my Mac to the muppets in the Apple store.
    If it's any clue, the other I get is that iMovie searches for four missing movie files when it tries to load. I've tried solving this by creating new files and changing the names to match the ones that are missing (as I read elsewhere in the community works) but it doesn't work.
    So I've wasted hours, a day of Apple having my computer and no one replies to my thread here. What's to be done? Do I give up on iMovie and buy Final Cut pro? And how can I get my week's worth of photos back that have disappeared from TimeMachine, even though everything else in the restoration (e.g. mail and Firefox windows) are completely up to date?

  • How do I get front row to see external drive

    I have my home movies stored on an external drive connected to my iMac, but front row can't seem to see the external drive. Anyone help me on this?

    Never mind. I figured it out. I have to create an alias folder of the movie folder on the external drive and stick it in the imovie folder on the mac.

  • Cannot open old iMovie project

    I have an old iMovie project from 2008 that I cannot open.
    If I double-click it, terminal opens.
    Recommended applications are Textwrangler, Terminal.... not really the right thing to watch a movie.
    Final Cut Pro X cannot read the file, because it's in the "bundle" format. Quicktime is also grayed out.
    Is this some weird format that is no longer readable by anything? Or can I turn it into an .mp4 file?
    Thanks.

    iMovie doesn't support importing one iMovie project to another. When we try, we get exactly the error you quoted.
    You can, however, import all the Timeline video and audio as a single clip to a new project. Or you can drag files from the Media folder of the project to the Timeline of a NEW project.
    In the Finder, Control-click on the project icon and choose Show Package Contents from the popUp menu. You'll see the movie "Timeline Movie.mov" in the window that opens. You want to import that movie to a new project, or import selected files in the Media folder.
    To import, drag the file to the Timeline of a NEW iMovie project. If importing the Timeline Movie, everything on the Timeline of the original project will arrive as a single clip in the new project.
    If the project failed on the external drive, it may be because the disk does not use the disk format required by iMovie. Use Disk Utility to check the disk format, which must be "Mac OS Extended". If it's not that format, use Disk Utility to reformat the drive. (Which will erase all the files on the drive, so make backups.)

  • Front Row not seeing ex-hard drive on network

    I have an ex-hard drive connected to my iMac with an alias of it inside my movies folder. Front Row on this computer sees this alias and its content no problems.
    This is my problem. I have another iMac on the network connect to my computer via Front Row. This computer can see the content of my movies folder but not the alias to the ex-hard drive.
    Does anybody have an solutions to this ?

    Hi BillDoor, i hink you have to make an alias on your second imac
    or make an alias from the first imac movie folder and put that in the moviefolder from the second imac

  • Cannot open an iMovie project file

    I can no longer open an iMovie project file from my external hard drive. Other iMovie projects on the hard drive can be opened, but not my main project. I've transfered it back to my MacBook Pro and then tried importing it into a new project, but I get an error -43 message about Quicktime not able to 'parse' the file. I have also tried Lennart Thelander's "File Fixer" but this still does not open the file. File icon and file size (39.02GB) seem to be the same as when the file could be opened. Is there a way to recover this file?
    Merci

  • I cannot find my iMovie projects

    since i updated my imac to the latest version my imovies have dissapeared. i have them backed up externally but why are they no longer in imovie?

    It would be very unusual for iMovie to delete your projects so they are probably there somewhere.
    iMovie will only see your projects if they are in the Movies/iMovie Projects/ folder. Is there a chance that you moved them somewhere else?
    One way to find them would be to use Spotlight. That is the small magnifying glass icon at the top right of your screen. Click on Spotlight, and in the search box type .rcproject
    Than should give you a list of your project files.
    Click "Show All In Finder" so you can tell where they are.

  • Front row cannot play video on my shared network? not recognized? HELP!

    When i launch my front row on my macbook it informs me that there are no videos being shared on my mini. But when i review the mini inside itunes i clearly see all the content and can play it. Any ideas why itunes and front row would not work together? It worked fine in the past, but the last two upgrades knocked it out. Both units are fully updated.

    That is strange, it sounds like it should be working. I might try to create a new user with the Accounts System Preferences on the MacBook, log out and log in as the new user. Can the new user find the shared videos in Front Row? If not, then you have some kind of system-wide problem. If they can find the shared videos, then your original user has a preference or configuration issue.

  • I cannot open my imovie project

    I just reinstalled leopard, before I formated my macbook pro, I copied my imovie project files and events to an external harddrive. My question is, how do I load them in imovie now? Which folder and files should I copy from my backup? Thanks Alex

    You must move everything back to where it was on your internal drive, and then move it from within iMovie. If you are short on space, you can do this one Event at a time. Be sure iMovie is closed when you move it back, then restart iMovie so it will recognize it.
    The reason you need to move your projects and events back relates to the architecture of iMovie. The video files are in the Event. The project consists of a text file of instructions that are executed when the project is shared. The project expects to find the Event file where it was when you created the project in iMovie. If you move the Event file from within iMovie, the Project file is updated with pointers to the new location. If you move the Event file in the Finder, iMovie has no way to know where the Event has gone.

  • Cannot see images in Project

    OK, I just finished up importing all my images that were stored on DVD's into separate projects in Aperture. Now I am working on the tedious task of going thru and keywording the images, ranking them, etc,,,
    Anyway, in one of my projects (DVD02) none of the images appear. I know they were imported, (In finder, I can view the contents of the Library, and then the DVD02 folder) So why aren't they showing up in the browser?
    Thanks in Advance!

    You haven't by accident typed anything into the search field next to the Query HUD in the Browser? (if you don't know where it is, see page 296 in the user manual).

  • How to Delete Item from Front Row?

    Someone sent me a short imovie project and it was automatically downloaded to my "Download" folder. When I opened Front Row, the project name it's right under "Movies" along with "iTunes Top Movies", "Theatrical Trailers" and "Movie Folder".
    I then moved the project file from "Download" to another folder created under my "Movie" folder. When I went to Front Row again, the original project was still under the list in Movies, now it's also in "Movies Folder". So basically it's showing up twice in Front Row in different places.
    I see that once I play the movie from my Movies folder directly from the folder, it's automatically set to Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Movies. So it's showing up in Front Row via iTunes, and it's also showing in Front Row via my Movies Folder.
    I just want to organize Front Row so that I don't have a long list of projects immediately under "Movies" in Front Row. I want these projects to neatly go in one personal movie folder only.
    Is there a way to reorganize the items list in Front Row?
    How do I delete the item that's originally placed under "Movies" in Front Row?

    Assets are organized in various apps - primarily iTunes for most of us.

  • Question about front row and screen saver

    I just got my Imac 20 inch screen computer. I've done every thing the directions say about starting my screen saver but it just wont start. Also in my itunes music library, that little remote control that lets your music play automatically while showing the album covers for the songs that are playing. Thats called front row. I see in preferences in front row that it says my screen saver is on but still it wont show my screen saver of which I chose from the apple menu. And front row only plays a few of my songs from my itunes library. Most of the songs, when I am trying to let them play automatically from the remote, will not play. When I try to click on a song from the remote that is not playing I get this sighn that says "front row cannot play this song. Return to Menu". All the songs in my Itunes library play fine when playing them directly from the library. It just seems like this "front row" thing is not working properly. Any one got any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I think I can verify that the screensaver should NOT be activating during a (DVD at least) movie; I've watched several without any screensaver intervention. Apple's been smart enough to disable the screensaver during DVD playback for quite some time - my brother was surprised when his Windows box at work interrupted his DVD with the screensaver.
    However, the screensaver (and password) did activate during FR iTunes play today. That was fine until I needed to pause playback and take a phone call. Can't pause without entering password, so I just closed the MBP's lid to put it to sleep. Annoying. Clearly, there are folks who'd prefer the screensaver never start when FR is active. Other security-minded folks might feel differently; fine, give us a preference pane.
    As my brother likes to say, whenever faced with the rare Apple problem, "Fix it Steve!" (Neither of us bother with "Fix it Bill," we know that's futile.)

  • Removing Movie Title in Front Row

    I recently bought my new iMac 24" and have attempted to use Front Row, but see there is a title of a video showing on the Movie Menu that I do not want. I went to the User Movie directory, removed the file with that name, but the title still shows on the Front Row Movie Menu. I have tried to reboot the computer to no avail. I have tried to find a preferences folder that might be retaining this title in the cache but can't find one.
    Any idea how to remove this unwanted title from my Movies Menu?

    I have the same problem with Front Row Movie trailers. I connect to the internet via high speed DSL. Watching movie trailers takes at least 10-15 minutes to fully load. I have no other network activity taking place. I get the same message 'cannot connect to movie server' then I press PLAY on the remote and the trailer PLAYs instantly but hangs after only two seconds. If I wait another few minutes I get only another 2 seconds out of the trailer. This goes on two seconds at a time before I give up.
    What is the required datarate for the the movie trailer to play seemlessly anyway? Can somebody answer this?
