How can I play iMovie 2 projects on iMovie 11?

When I upgraded to Lion awhile back... I didn't realize that new versions of iMovie, iMovie 11,  would not play former versions. How can I play the older versions? Is there an iMovie 2 for Lion, or a workaround?

and as addendum zo Bengt's excellent advice:
iMovie is no 'player'.
iMovie projects, from any version, are meant to be shared/broadcasted/exported (diff. words in diff. version, meaning all the same).
Such exports, from any version of iMovie were, are, and for sure will be playable - with Quicktime Player.
So, meant as generic advice:
Don't 'hide' your Projects in iMovie!
Export them, make a mov (or m4v, or mp4, or whatever) of it - done.

    Go to the Project Library View and select your project.
    Then FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 1".
    Then duplicate it again and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 2"
    Now you can open "part 1" as a project and delete everything that is in part 2.

  • Hi! How can I continue my project in iMovie 10.0.1 in another Macbook?

    Hi! How can I continue my project already started in iMovie 10.0.1, in another Macbook?

    You need to make sure first that all the media is in your library and it does not contain links to external media that will break when you move your library.  You do this by choosing selecting the library in the libraries pane and choosing File - Consolidate Library Media.
    If your library is on an external drive you can simply reconnect that drive to the other mac; otherwise you will have to copy the library package (it looks like a file with the extension .imovielibrary) to the other mac.   Launch iMovie 10.   The first time iMovie won't know where the library is so you will have to choose File - Open Library - Other and navigate to the library location. 

  • How can you play the project from a certain point without having to watch it over from the beginning?

    I'm doing a project on iMovie and whenever I want to replay it replays from the beginning not from the point in the project that I would like to preview it from. How can I change this?

    Move the playhead to wherever you want to start then press the space bar.

  • How can I play a video created in iMovie 06 on AppleTV?

    I have a video project that I created in iMovie 06. How can I play this on AppleTV?

    Thanks for your assistance. Unfortunately I'm still not able to get this to work.
    First, I don't see an export to Quicktime in AppleTV format setting. The only choices that I have are export to Quicktime in Full, CD, email or streaming video format.
    I tried both full and CD but I still cannot get it to my AppleTV. Once the video is in Quicktime format I drag and drop the file into my iTunes library. It shows up in the movies directory on Itunes but when I sync Itunes with Apple TV - nothing. Everything else syncs but just not the quicktime movie.
    Any ideas?

  • I can't load 1 Imovie project. Imovie shows 5 projects but only 4 icons show of those. 1 projects symbol won't come up so I can't click on it to work on or play. Please help me as there's lots of work on this project I don't want to lose.

    The performance fixes is a biggy for me, though the other missing
    stuff I use makes me have to use both versions for various things:
    "but they seem to be committed to another release/version."
    Well ... now that's the rub. I would actually welcome this intermediate version to play with (even with the cost of upgrading) if I could rely on it to be finalized into 6.0, full featured, without it taking as long as it has to Upgrade from AA3.0. I would say it was a VERY smart move to give us a preview of 6.0, if I felt in, say, six months they would provide us the fully functional update. But, HOW many years has it been. I felt screwed over while they played around with Sound Booth.
    I was with you for a minute in most of what you said, until your credibility went down a couple notches with me on the statement trivializing midi functionality. I though that was a very clueless statement:
    "but I have no need for a midi controller and if I want a drummer to keep perfect time I'll get a drum machine."
    It does make some of your other statements suspect, tho I won't take it as far as therealdobro's "what's your stake" question.

  • How can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?

    Before the latest release of iMovie I easily managed to export a project on an external usb drive and re-import such project on a different Mac... In the latest iMovie version, however, I cannot see my drive any more..
    So, how can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?
    Thank you in advance

    I'm not sure this is the best way, but you could create a new iMovie Library, move your project to that Library, then close the library. Then move the Library to your USB drive. Then, on the other Mac, in iMovie open the Library.

  • How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done?

    How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC. 

    No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either.  It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected.  VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB.  All of which cannot be opened or selected.
    Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC.  Is that the same?  Thank you for your time and response.

    I have recorded mono on a sony hxrmc200e how can i play stereo when I download from imovie to fce 4??

    While you really can't make a mono track true stereo, you can make it play to both left and right channels.  Pan the track to center (0), or you can duplicate the track and pan one copy left (-1) and the other right (1) ... or select both tracks in the Timeline (original and copy) and hit Option l (lowercase L) to make them a stereo pair.
