How can I edit an iMovie project created on one machine on a different one?

I created an iMovie on one MacBook, and want a colleague to edit it.
I created a dropbox folder, moved all the files there; i can see them on the other Mac, but the project doesn't show up in the project window in iMovie on the other Mac and I can't open it there by browsing to it in Finder...
Can anyone help?

I think you can transfer an iMovie for iOS project from the iPad and edit it on iMovie on the Mac. This works fine.
However, you cannot start a movie on iMovie for the Mac and transfer it to iMovie for the iPad.
Think of it this way.
Say that iMovie for the Mac has 1000 features*, and iMovie for the iPad has 400 features*. These 400 features map one to one to an equivalent iMovie for Mac feature. Because there is a good mapping, you can transfer and edit.
But if you go the other way, iMovie for Mac has 600 features for which there is no corresponding feature in iMovie for iPad or iPhone. So there is no way to edit an iMovie for Mac project on the iPad.
* I made these numbers up for illustration purposes.

  • How can I save my iMovie Project to a DVD or Flash Drive which can be played on a PC and any DVD player

    I have an iMac, purchased in January 2011. How can I save an iMovie project to a DVD or Flash Drive which can be played on a PC or any DVD player

    I will give you a basic primer, not going to get to in depth, as far as parameters, size of project, or the storage size of your usb flash drive, etc.
    1. you have your finished iMovie project. Under iMovie>Share menu. Choose export using quicktime.
    2. make Movie self contained. This way your Mov, Mvi, etc files will be part of the movie and it can play without having to reference the events, because it is actually there.
    3. so, now on your desktop  ( or any where else set up quicktime to save your file) you will see a quicktime file.
         Drag & Drop that file on to the icon of your USB Flash Drive, etc.
    4. Details that I omitted because I admit I am not well versed. Most Likely that quicktime file is larger than your USB Flash Drive. You have to use one of quicktime compression work flows, also if you open the just created quicktime file. It will open quicktime player and under the File>Export you have to options. I have a Movie that was 42GB 1080P, I exported it as a 720P, so it would still be playable on a large screen and now the new file was less than 2.5GB.
    5. Oh, no i just realized that the file should be playable on a PC, as long as the PC has quicktime for windows installled and you left that USB formated at MS DOS as it came originally, or a PC will not recognize it. Will it open up on your Blu-Ray Player that has a USB port, not sure. Since there is no menu. but, perhaps just pushing play will start movie.
    Hope this is of some help.

  • How can I burn my iMovie project to DVD?  I do not have iDVD or iLife on my iMac but I do have the internal DVD slot.

    How can I burn my iMovie project to DVD?  I do not have iDVD or iLife on my iMac but I do have the internal DVD slot.

    Hi
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • How can I edit an iMovie 10.0.3 project on a different computer with an older version?

    I am trying to caption a video using the Titles feature. However, 10.0.3 has a bug that won't allow font changes in titles, which is making the captions inconsistent in terms of size and font, which looks terrible. How can I fix this? Is there any way to share the project with a different computer with an older version of iMovie, to make the edits there? So far, the video will transfer but the other project files (including the captions) won't open in the new version.

    You can't use a project created in iMovie 10 with earlier iMovie versions.  If you are only adding titles you could always re-import the video into a Mac running an earlier version of iMovie or share the iMovie 10 video to file and import into the earlier version.
    Some titles in iMovie 10 do allow changing font and size though.  Its a matter of trying out the various options.  If you are running Yosemite its worth upgrading to version 10.0.6 which I think improved title adjustment options as well as a number of other things.

  • How can I Recover an iMovie project after the program shuts down unexpectedly?

    I was working on an iMovie when the program shut down unexpectedly.  I had worked on this project many times before and it always showed up in my project library.  After the shutdown, however, I tried to open up the project and it is no longer in the project library.  I can find it in the finder but when I click on it, it will open iMovie but the project is not listed.  It has to be in there somewhere!  How can I recover it?  Please hlep!

    There are numerous reports here on the forum about this issue (I've been bitten by it too). It's becoming an epidemic.
    Here's one thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/21157327#21157327
    The recent update to iMovie '11 (to version 9.0.9) may have fixed this, but it's impracticable to test, given the random nature of the problem.
    The best solution is to always have Time Machine running when editing in iMovie. Also, with larger projects, it's a good idea to duplicate the project from time to time. To duplicate, while in Project Library view (where all your projects are listed), select File > Duplicate Project. Project files are relatively small, as they mainly reference the associated Event (or Events), as well as keeping track of your edits, titles, transitions, music and so forth.

  • How can Tomcat see a Tomcat project created within eclipse

    Hi
    I used to make web projects using tomcat, and then i found that eclipse allows u to create Tomcat projects.
    My question now is that, for the tomcat to see a web project it has to be placed in the webapps folder, but now using eclipse how will the tomcat see this project as it's not placed automatically inside its webapps?
    i think there s a specific way to force the tomcat to refer to tomcat projects created from eclipse, right?
    can anyone help me with that
    thanks in advance

    Try configure the server in eclipse. Search for a tutorial about how to register a server within eclipse.

  • How can I burn an iMovie project onto DVD?

    I just finished a project on iMovie. I need to burn a copy on a DVD.
    IDVD does work for my needs. The old versions of iMovie had an option to burn DVDs.
    So... how can one burn an DVD copy without using iDVD?
    Also best program to convert file format from iMovie ... i.e. Windows computer?

  • How can I move an iMovie Project to an external drive in latest version (10.0.7)

    I am trying to transfer an iMovie project from my desktop to my laptop to work on it anywhere. I have seen ways to do this in earlier releases but they do not work for the current version (10.0.7.)
    I have a Mac OS Extended (journaled) USB drive. Previous threads have said that the external drive will show up in the "Events Library." This version of iMovie does not have an "Events Library" and the button to make it visible in previous versions is gone. I have looked at the Apple Support link iMovie '11: Copy or move a project to an external hard disk, but this won't work on the latest version release.
    I can't seem to find any way to move my project to the external drive.
    Any thoughts? Thanks

    To make sure that all required media is in the library contain the project you need to "Consolidate media"  see:  http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov882dee351
    You can then copy the library to your laptop with the Finder and open it with the same version of iMovie.  The last phrase is important since Apple has made changes in the project format several times even between minor updates of iMovie 10.  Earlier versions may not be able to read the library and later versions (not possible in this case) may cause the project to be updated so that it is no longer readable by the desktop version.   iMovie on the laptop will not at first find the copied library - you will have either to double click on it or File - Open library - Other and navigate to its location.

  • How do I edit an iMovie project on a different computer?

    I started an iMovie project on my desktop at home and I am going away for the weekend so I am wondering if there is anyway to transfer the file to my brother's laptop and still be able to edit it. If there is a way, what should I use to transfer the file?

    I've done this. You'll need an external hard drive. See iMovie help "Copying or moving a project to an external hard disk". Once it's copied, connect the hard drive to your brother's laptop and edit away.
