Help with imovie project got deleted??!

when i was finished with my imovie, i dragged the document to my flash drive. when i ejected it and went back to imovie the entire project was deleted. even on the flash drive the project was deleted. only the videos which i created were there, not the slides. i know i did not delete anything and i checked the trash and it was no in there. is there any way i can get it back??

There may be more than one cause for this error, but in most cases the project to be published includes short clips of less than about 1.5 seconds duration.
Duplicate the project. From the duplicate, delete the short clips and try to publish. If that doesn't solve the problem, see the comments of Didorx in this thread and of jguttenberg in this thread.

  • Large iDVD Project (help with iMovie formats, time totals, quality)

    Hi,
    I am in the process of finishing up a large DVD project. I went on a six month backpacking trip, and have lots of photos/small clips to make a DVD from. I will have a main menu in iDVD with submenus for each country (Mexico, Cook Islands, NZ, Australia, Vietnam, Thailand, India)
    On each submenu will be around 4-5 movies of around 2-5 minutes each.
    I created movies using iMovie (imported sound-less iPhoto slideshows 640x480 expored as MOV file) and added captions, music etc in iMovie. Each 'movie' is about 1-5 minutes long.
    First question:
    What is the best format to export these movies in? I will be adding them to iDVD. But when I export them, they are around 100-700Mb each depending on time of the movie. I used the expert settings (to Quicktime Mov) using the following settings:
    Video:
    Compression: Mpeg-4 Video
    Quality: Best
    Frame Rate: 60
    key frame rate: 24
    Dimensions: 720x526 4:3
    audio:
    format: AAC
    Sample rate: 48.000Khz
    Bit Rate 128
    Stereo
    In my iDVD project - the menu loops are maximum 30 seconds each, with the audio cut to the same length (ie. not trimmed in the menu - the actual mp3 added is 30seconds etc)
    Now, big question is:
    Do I have a total of 2 hours for everything? All menus,and all movies ? Is there ANY way of calculating this in iDVD or do I have to do it manually (estimate) ???
    I notice with iDVD 8.0 it has a indicator of the space available etc. I have iDVD 6.0 so that doesn't help me now I guess?
    What I need to ask is that - maybe using expert settings to mov files is unnecessary? What would you recommend as the export settings?
    I have been working on the iMovie projects for months and can re-export them all in different format if need be, and can simply re-add the movies to iDVD. I have set up the shell of the DVD in iDVD but not added the movies yet (I have the placeholders there for them).
    Anyway - hopefully I haven't blabbed on too much that someone out there can offer some advice?
    Cheers and THANK YOU!

    Best Performance: For projects up to one hour
    Best Quality: For projects up to two hours
    If your project is longer than one hour, you have to use Best Quality. Generally, the quality will be fine but the closer your get to that two hour limit, the more possibility you have of seeing some quality hits.
    I deal with lots of long projects and generally if a project is longer than 90 minutes (specially since my projects have lots of fast motion, low light, etc) I split them up over two DVDs, keeping each under the one hour limit. That does give you your best quality option

  • Can anyone help with iMovie

    Totally frustrated! I find it impossible to cut and paste parts of my video clips or to merge video clips or to move parts of a clip.Isn't that what video editing is supposed to be all about?
    The help topics for iMovie aren't even in an understandable/make sense kiind of language.
    Can soneone help with some simple procedures to do the above? Or do they not exist?
    Thanks for any help. I'm ready to give up.
    Also, why is there no iMovie 11 anywhere? I've seen references to it, but all the App Store has is 10.

    Thanks Alan,
    The info about 10 vs 11 is helpful.
    On the rest, that's helpful too. It kind of tells me I must be off base somehow. I've tried all the copying, cutting, pasting and dragging and none of it works because when I drag a selected part or all of a clip, it doesn't work and when I copy a part and then click to paste it, nothing happens and the cut and the paste and the insert are always grayed out. It makes sense what you're saying about the selecting and cutting or copying or pasting. That's always standard procedure. That's why I'm so frustrated.
    Maybe I don't know exactly what the "timeline" is. ???
    What I have is 5 clips from one stage show that I converted to .mov files and 6 clips from another that I also converted. Then I imported them into iMovie as 2 new events and I tried doing the editing on each of the events, deleting some frames and trying to copy some from one to the other. That didn't work, so I put both shows (events)  together in the updated projects folder and nothing still worked.
    I remember when I did this last year, I made it work somehow, but I sure don't get it now. I guess maybe another part that I'm missing is how to get them into a project and then to a finalized movie. None of the pieces seem to fit this time.
    I sure appreciate any more help you can give me.
    Thanks so much

  • Audio help in iMovie project

    Hi there,
    I really need some help with my first iMovie project.
    Here's the deal:
    I have a bunch of movie clips, some of which have audio, others which don't. Ideally, I'd like to be selective as to which which clip's audio is heard as there are some clips I wish only to be seen.
    At the same time, I wish to play the clips to a few of my iTunes tracks. I have added two of these tracks already, but at the moment they both start at the same time! How do I separate them and then deal with them separately? (i.e. comparative volume setting etc.)
    Any help with these two issues would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Tom
    You got some really full quality help from Sue (when You answered her questions)
    but I just will share one of my wells of understanding. Please take a look at:
    David Pough: The Missing Manual of iMovie HD (6) & iDVD HD
    Yes it is in version 6 now but most of it apply on iMovie 4.
    There is so much to learn while enjoying movie making.

  • Need help with calculator project for an assignment...

    Hi all, I please need help with my calculator project that I have to do for an assignment.
    Here is the project's specifications that I need to do"
    """Create a console calculator applicaion that:
    * Takes one command line argument: your name and surname. When the
    program starts, display the date and time with a welcome message for the
    user.
    * Display all the available options to the user. Your calculator must include
    the arithmetic operations as well as at least five scientific operations of the
    Math class.
    -Your program must also have the ability to round a number and
    truncate it.
    -When you multiply by 2, you should not use the '*' operator to perform the
    operation.
    -Your program must also be able to reverse the sign of a number.
    * Include sufficient error checking in your program to ensure that the user
    only enters valid input. Make use of the String; Character, and other
    wrapper classes to help you.
    * Your program must be able to do conversions between decimal, octal and
    hex numbers.
    * Make use of a menu. You should give the user the option to end the
    program when entering a certain option.
    * When the program exits, display a message for the user, stating the
    current time, and calculate and display how long the user used your
    program.
    * Make use of helper classes where possible.
    * Use the SDK to run your program."""
    When the program starts, it asks the user for his/her name and surname. I got the program to ask the user again and again for his/her name and surname
    when he/she doesn't insert anything or just press 'enter', but if the user enters a number for the name and surname part, the program continues.
    Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??

    Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??You cannot restrict the user. It is a sad fact in programming that the worst bug always sits in front of the Computer.
    What you could do is checking the input string for numbers. If it contains numbers, just reprompt for the Name.
    AND you might want to ask yourself why the heck a calculator needs to know the users Name.

Now when I first hooked it up it kept crashing saying "IMovie quit unexpectedly while using the Sonix SN9C201 Webcam Plugin." I do not understand why its trying to use that plugin but anyways. So I messed with it some more and thought I figured out the problem and that it was plugged into my mini stack instead of directly into the computer. So when I tried that it loaded up great and worked, now today when trying to bring in videos from the camera it has gone back to crashing with same error! This makes NO sense...it is plugged directly into the computer it comes up as its own drive on my desktop yet crashes everytime I try to bring video in. Please help me with what I can do!

    Wow..I feel like a idiot..I had my webcam plugged in and totally forgot about it b/c I never use it. Unplugged that and bammo works like a charm. Thanks for makin me realize it hah

  • Help with J2EE Project Management

    Hi,
    We are about to begin a large J2EE project and are wondering if anyone could help with the following questions:
    1. Given the division of labor on J2EE projects (JSP developers, EJB developers, application deployers, etc...), what are "best practices" for building a team and ensuring that they communicate well after the design phase? How will the left arm know what the right arm is doing?
    2. What documentation should be produced during the design phase to give to the developers? Will this allow them to go off and develop independently of each other?
    3. Is there a "best practices" document anywhere on J2EE project management?
    Thanks in advance!!

    Hi,
    I feel any project to start with should have a prior planning,that too particularly for Object oriented programming projects,I feel UML is the best tool for entire process.I think rational software has got lot of Project Management Tools(PMT) and products at all stages.Please go through the rational.com site and hope you could find some info.I feel the answer to your second question is partly 'yes' and partly 'no'.The modules that you can split it up which have got some independent attributes,but it should not be too much in your project,then it affects the work matrix/There should be a optimal process to decide and that you can yourself formulate depending on the time frame,either way the last step of build or integration is not flexible enough that you should mind,modular flexibility can be there but the integration stage you are tied with a fixed process.So plan accordingly using a PMT tool for any project that matters and all the best.Bye

  • PROBLEM WITH iMOVIE PROJECT CONVERSION TO QT

    I occasionally have strange things happen when converting iMovie (DV) projects to 'full quality' QT.dv files.
    Example: footage transferred from a visually pulsating image (originated on a 1920s 30 line mechanical TV scanner invented by J L Baird) has an acceptable rippling effect seen in iMovie. When converted to a QT (full quality) file the rippling becomes a rapid strobing flicker, ie something is changed in conversion. And, DVDs made from each - from the iMovie project and from its QT conversion - produce these same effects.
    Any info on what happens in conversion to QT causing this problem?

    Well...thanks a lot for ur help...!
    But...somehow, I feel the settings of my Top-Link Db-Adapter are fine...
    (B'coz as far as i can remember, i haven't meddled with it since creating/configuring the DB-Adapter in my ESb project...and there, i could specify my DB Connection ( say, DBConnection1, & could later import the Exact Table i wanted as an Offline Data source (for the routing rule..for Mapping the fields..) )
    ...i somehow believe there should be a problem with the <ORACLE_HOME>\j2ee\home\application-deployments\default\DbAdapter\oc4j-ra.xml
    B'coz as Marc pointed out, i couldn't see any data-source with JNDI name loc/DBConnection1DataSource in my EM console...
    So, i tried creating a new data-source there & pointed it to one of the existing connection-pools in the file :-
    <ORACLE_HOME>/j2ee/home/config/data-sources.xml
    In this connection-pool, i basically set the proper connection-string ("jdbc.thin.....") to point to the proper SID...( as i had set up & tested in my JDeveloper Database Connection..)
    Hope my approach is right..??
    Or..am i missing something here..??
    Thanks a lot again....!

  • I need help with iMovie!!

    I have a Macbook Air and I use iMovie a lot. For my school projects, and for my YouTube channel. I am currently trying to make a video that is a collection of funny moments from my favorite TV show. I have all the episodes downloaded and ready to go but some of the episodes, when i try to import them into iMovie so i can edit it, it just doesn't work. The audio and lenght of the video is fine but the visuals don't come up. It's just all black and I don't know why it doesn't work.
    i know that it's not a problem with the video file because when i play it outside of iMovie, it works just fine but iMovie messes it all up.
    I'm really confused and my subscribers are really mad because I promised an hour long collection of funny moments and it isn't up yet so please help me.

    Hi
    Most probably You've done the ones possibly in this list - but any how.
    My General - list of doings are
    a. NEVER - Move or alter any folder named
    • iMovie Event's - or -
    • iMovie Project's
    in DeskTop/Finder as this breaks connection to iMovie and can be hard to impossibly to mend - Move all back.
    b. Trash iMovie pref. file while iMovie is NOT Running - iMovie will make a new error free one on next up-start.
    c. Repair permissions - Disk Util tool
    d. Repair hard disk - Disk Util tool - but one need to start up Mac from DVD or external Hard Disk
    e. Free space on Start-Up Mac OS Hard Disk - My minimum is 25Gb free space - to let iMovie and Mac OS run as intended
    f. If external/secondary hard disks is/are connected and used for VIDEO - they MUST BE Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted. UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange works for most other things BUT NOT for VIDEO Whatever program is used - iMovie, FinalCut or iDVD.
    g. Problem also can be due to material feed to iMovie
    • Video/Codec used - Camera/Download etc. Please tell
    • Audio file format used - from video, Audio-CD and iTunes etc - .aif, .mp3, .wma etc
    • Photos used - in what format - .jpg, .bmp etc
    BUT - You must know this - so it's more for others to find help in.

  • Trouble with imovie projects

    Hi,
    I have a large imovie project, but want to finish it in FCE. How do I import it so A) it will play? B) not have a tone opf space inserted between clips?
    What am I doing wrong? HELP.

    If you can live with one long clip (that you can cut up as needed in FCE) you can make a dv stream out of your iMovie project and import that. You will have to render the audio and may run into the problem I did of "Out of Memory" when rendering the audio. But you can probably fix the memory problem by erasing unneeded render files.

  • Need Help-Exporting iMovie project to FCE

    I'm new to iMovie. I have worked with FCE in the past, but it has changed drastically from the last time I used it. The problem I have is that all of my video is uploaded into iMovie and I was playing around with FCE and iMovie and I like the way iMovie crops the videos. I was wondering if by cropping in iMovie will it export like that to FCE? If not, what is the best way to crop video to get the same dimensions in FCE?

    Hello www,
    Initially when I went to the "share" option in imovie to export to iDVD the function simply opened up the iDVD program and kept playing the opening iDVD theme over and over again.
    iDVD will keep playing that theme until you either click the motion button, or decide to burn to disc.
    Does your iMovie project show up as a button/title in iDVD? If so, you have exported correctly. Now you may change the menu, titles, etc., then you can
    burn to disc (best way to do this is create a disk image, then burn with Disk Utility)
    hope this helps

  • Re-connecting events with iMovie project

    Hi,
    basically i was making a movie using "imovie vesion 9" on the guest account of a friends computer. Having uncompleted the project i saved it onto an external hardrive to continue at a later date (im aware that this would involve re-importing events since it was a guest account) anyway turns out i only saved the "imovie project" and not the "imovie events" onto the hardrive, so now when i went to return to the movie, the project reads "source clip missing" with yellow exclamation triangles on each clip i.e, there are no events in the imovie project,
    is there anyway i can reimport the events and reconnect them with the "imovie project" ?
    Thanks, Ryan

    Ok. I found my answer. Here's the excerpt from another thread if anybody else is wondering the same thing:
    The iMovie Events Folder should have a .localized extension on it. Verify that it does by doing a Get Info on the iMovie Events Folder.
    Now find one of the iMovie Projects that shows missing clips in the Finder. Right click on the project in the Finder and select Show Package Contents. Now open the Project file inside the project in bbedit or any editor like it. Search for iMovie Events and verify the your paths are correct. If not, fix them and save the Project file.

  • CMOD project got deleted

    Hi All,
    Can anyone help me out in tracking the deleted CMOD project.
    One of my CMOD project was deleted, how I could find out in which transport this Project was deleted.
    Thanks & Regards
    Prasanth

    Hi ,
    We cannot confirm this issue happened because of latest transport.
    User exit code (Z* include) active, May be CMOD project created earlier and then deleted in between because many transports exits for this CMOD project.
    Can you help us to track the history of Enhancements included into CMOD project (like inserting & deleting  ...Enhancements to CMOD project).
    Thanks for the help.

    One way is to
    1) pass a reference of the Window object to the USDListener class, and set a local Window variable say call it window, to this reference.
    2) Give the Window class a public method that returns a String and allows you to get the text from USDField. Same to allow you to set text on the euroField.
    3) Give the Listener class a Converter object.

  • Collage Students need help with Java project(Email Server) whats analysis?

    Hi im studying in collage at the moment and i have just started learning java this semester, the thing is my teacher just told us to do an project in java , since we just started the course and i dont have any prior knowledge about java i was wondering if some one could help me with the project.
    i choose Email Sevice as my project and we have to submit an analysis and design document , but how the hell am i suppose to know what analysis is ? i just know we use ER diagrams & DFD's in the design phase but i dont know what analysis means ?
    could some one tell me what analysis on an email service might be? and what analysis on a subject means? is it the codeing involved or some thing coz the teacher told us not to do any codeing yet so im completly stumped,
    oh and btw we are a group of 3 students who are asking u the help here coz all of us in our class are stupmed ?

    IN case any one is interested this is the analysis i wrote
    ANALYSIS
    Analysis means figuring out what the problem is, maybe what kinds of solutions might be appropriate
    1.     Introduction:-
    The very definition of analysis is an investigation of the component parts of a whole and their relations in making up the whole. The Analysis done here is for an emailing service called Flashmail, the emailing service is used to send out mails to users registered with our service, these users and there log activities will be stored in some where, the most desirable option at this time is a Database, but this can change as the scope of the project changes.
    2.     Customer Analysis:-
    We are targeting only 30 registered users at the moment but this is subject to change as the scale changes of the project .Each user is going to be entitled to 1MB of storage space at this time since we lack the desired infrastructure to maintain anything higher than 1MB but the end vision of the project is to sustain 1000 MB of storage space while maintaining a optimal bandwidth allocation to each user so as to ensure a high speed of activity and enjoyment for the Customer.
    The Service will empower the user to be able to send, read, reply, and forward emails to there specified locations. Since we are working on a limited budget we can�t not at this time enable the sending of attachments to emails, but that path is also left open by modularity of java language, so we can add that feature when necessary.
    3.     Processor Load Analysis:-
    The number of messages per unit time processing power will be determined on hand with various algorithms, since it is best not to waste processor power with liberally distributing messages per unit time. Hence the number of messages will vary with in proportion to the number of registered users online at any given time.
    4.     Database Decision Analysis:-
    The High level Requirements of the service will have to be decided upon, the details of which can be done when we are implementing the project itself. An example of high level requirements are database management, we have chosen not to opt for flat files because of a number of reasons, first off a flat files are data files that contain records with no structured relationships additional knowledge is required to interpret these files such as the file format properties. The disadvantages associated with flat files are that they are not fast, they can only be read from top to bottom, and usually they have to be read all the way through. Though there is are advantages of Flat files they are that it takes up less space than a structured file. However, it requires the application to have knowledge of how the data is organized within the file.
    Good databases have key advantage over flat files concurrency. When you just read stuff from file it�s easy, but tries to synchronize multiple updates or writes into flat file from scripts that run in different process spaces.
    Whereas a flat file is a relatively simple database system in which each database is contained in a single table. In contrast, relational database systems can use multiple tables to store information, and each table can have a different record format.
    5.     Networking Analysis:-
    Virtually every email sent today is sent using two popular protocols known as SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) and MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions).
    1.     SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
    The SMTP protocol is the standard used by mail servers for sending and receiving email. In order to send email we will first establish a network connection to our SMTP server. Once you have finished sending your email message it is necessary that you disconnect from the SMTP server
    2.     MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)
    The MIME protocol is the standard used when composing email messages.
