How can I recover iMovie HD projects in Yosemite

I Have several projects created in iMovie HD (8.03), They are no longer supported in Yosemite I discovered yesterday. Is there any way to open the in later versions of iMovie?

I found this answer in another post... It worked for me.
Find iMovie HD.app, control click on it and View Package Contents. Open Contents/MacOS/iMovie HD. That seems to bypass the check.
It will open the terminal app when you double click on the iMovie HD exec file, but the program will work as usual

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Restoring a backup is specific to the backup program you are using to do your daily backups - consult it's manual, help file or author's support site
    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library starting with the first option and trying others until you are succesful

  • I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?

    I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?  Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

    This should give you some good insight, I'd probably store them on an External HD on the old machine and then just drag and drop to the new machine.

  • How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when opening the program to digitize new clips for new project. i have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what to disable.

    How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when first opening the program to digitize new clips for a new project. It takes forever for it and is very annoying. I have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what would disable this problem.

    You do not need to move your cursor much when pressing the mouse button to cause the tab to tear-off/tear-away into a new tab. No "sensitivity" setting that I am aware of. The tab in the new window can be dragged back to the original window.
    To disable the feature, install this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t/
    *Read the information on the above page
    *Set options for the add-on: Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to the specific Extension (the 2 options are defined/explained in the above page).

  • When using imovie for Ipad, how can I fast forward a project to cut the length down?

    When using imovie for Ipad, how can I fast forward a project to cut the length down to fit under the 15 minutes required for Youtube? My current project is 23 minutes, and need to cut it down below 15 minutes. I was hoping to speed up the video. The content would actually be better viewed in at a faster speed anyhow.

    Jon,
    It sounds like you did, just as you should, Save_As and Delete everything that is unwanted. If you did the Deletion from the Timeline, there should be nothing from the old Project, that should be included. A DVD is Transcoded and burned from the Timeline. If the Assets are not there, they will not included in the DVD, even if you did not Delete anything from the Project Panel.
    Tell us about the Clips now on your Timeline. Also, can you check the Timeline, by hitting the \ (Backslash key), and looking near the end of the Timeline. Do you have any "orphans" out there? Check all Video Tracks, even if you have to scroll to see them all. Does the Duration of the Timeline (viewed in the Program Monitor) match what you think that it should? If not, then you most likely have orphans, that you missed Deleteing.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • How to open previous iMovie 09 Projects- don't appear in the Project Pane!

    I have a lot of iMovie 09 Projects that I have done but they no longer appear in the Project Pane. They are still on my external mac-formatted hard drive, but I can't get them to open in iMovie. I remember moving them to my external hard drive within iMovie at one point and I have a bad feeling I might have removed them from iMovie so they wouldnt slow it down... All the events are gone as well, but still reside on my external drive.
    How can I re-open older projects once they don't appear in the project pane any more? They are still in the designated "imovie projects" folder on my hard drive...
    Thank you

    if you have multiple hard drives like me they may be there, but are hidden until you hit the triangle next to the hard drive your projects are stored on. once i did that they "magically" appeared...hope it's an easy fix for you too

  • How can I recover a book I started from a file?

    I have recently installed the iPhoto 9.2.1 from App Store.
    I am having many problems with iPhoto after an electrical cut when I was working with it.
    First, when I opened iPhoto immediately after that, many of the events appeared in black box, when I open a file of these,  black boxes appears, photos could not being seeing, but click in one, the photo appears.
    I realized that those files I did not working with them for long.
    I am interested to recover them, How could I do it?
    I copy iPhoto Library into a external hard disc to safe and start from the beginning. I need to work in one book.
    Second,The photos for that book were in the external hard disc. I imported them into iPhoto and start working. I thought that everything was solved out.
    This morning when I opened the computer and iPhoto, My work, begun the previous day, was not there, iPhoto ask me if I want to recover iPhoto Library and  thinking that that was my last work, I said yes.
    But it was not, It was the old library, but the work that interests me has disappeared.
    How can I recover this work I started? It must be in some place.
    Thanks for your advice

    Sorry, it'll be impossible for any of us (the forum regulars) to post in this thread without making obvious suggestions like this; it's safe to ignore these suggestions, I understand that you are powerless here to make reasonable suggestions like "Fire the incompetent translation firm that can't keep up with its clients and retain one that actually has the licenses for the apps necessary to complete the project."  If nothing else, all of the people who search Google for the phrase "translation downsave CS5 CS4 book" will learn that the best answer is "tell your translation supplier that they will lose your business if they fail to upgrade."
    But in your case - no, I know of no such script to re-save a CS4 book from IDMLs spat out of CS5. The scripting forum is thataway; maybe they know of a script someone else has already written for this purpose. Mostly because, especically in a book file, one of the steps before saving the INDDs and book in CS4 should be "a human compares the IDML opened in CS4 against the INDDs in CS5, or PDFs generated from same, before Saving As CS4 INDD."

  • PLEASE HELP! How can I recover deleted videos frommy camera roll?

    Hello. I was making a video in iMovie and when it came down to exporting in 720p, it said I did not have enough room. So, I accidentally deleted a few videos from my camera roll. These were the video clips that I used in my iMovie so when I try playing the movie, the videos I deleted won't show up. How can I recover these deleted videos??? Please help! This is a video for someones birthday that is coming up soon. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

    Are you talking about iMovie on the iPhone, or iMovie '11? If you used iMovie '11 you had to get your media onto the computer. If you're talking about iMovie on the iPhone I think you want to be on http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1140
    I don't know if DriveSavers can work with an iPhone. It involves opening the hard drive in a clean room, and I don't think you can do that with an iPhone drive.

    Once it's in recovery mode, everything on the phone is already gone.  If you've been backing it up and syncing on a regular basis, it should restore just fine.
