How do I delete events in Imovie

my mac is working so slowly. I think one of the problems is that my events folder has over 8 hours of video. However, when I try to click on it to delete it, it won't let me. It doesn't separate each event. It's just one big event. When I click on FILE, MOVE TO TRASH. It tell me "I must select at least 1 event". Well, I would if it would break down the events!
Please help!!
Thank you

m2funky,
In order to remove clips from your iMovie Library, they must first be 'rejected.' The steps below detail how to go about rejecting a clip or clips. Once the desired content has been marked as 'rejected,' you can utilize the 'Move to Trash' function to remove those clips from iMovie. Note that this will remove entire clips (even if you only 'reject' a small portion of a clip). If you inadverdently remove a clip and would like to restore it to iMovie, you can choose 'Undo Move to Trash' under the Edit menu.
In the browser, select a range, a clip, or multiple clips you want to rate.
Do the following:
If you don’t like the selection: Choose Mark > Reject (or press the Delete key).
A red line appears at the top of frames you’ve marked as rejected.

  • How do you delete events in iMovie

    I put some videos from our family camcorder onto iMovie, but now I changed my mind; I don't want them in iMovie. When I try to delete the event, (i right click it and click "move event to trash") it says, "The library must contain at least one event." But it does! Help!

    It would seem that the event you want to delete is the only one in the library.  As soon as you create another event you will be able to delete it.

    how do i delete events in i movie 11?

    Hey,
    You just need to select an event, right-click, and select delete event. It will then give you an option of how you want to delete it.

  • Where do deleted events in imovie go?

    it says "trash" but apparently there is no dedicated trash for imovie and the deleted events do not show in my mac trash. what is up? where are these deleted files? i have seen others ask this question on boards but no one seems to know where they actually go and if they are, in fact, deleted. anyone?

    Just so there is no mistaking my question..i delted an event in imovie 10.0.2 on my macbookpro which i updated to maverick last week. the event was gone from my imovie library but never showed up in my finder trash. i DID NOT empty the trash before i looked there. i tried a few experimental deleting events from imovie and it never shows up in my mac finder trash. question: anyone know if, indeed, the event was deleted and if so, how (since i did not empty the trash, nopr did it even show up to empty)? And if not, where did the deleted events go?

  • Deleted events in iMovie 10 does not reduce used space on hard drive

    The used space on my hard drive doesn't   reduce  when I delete  big  footage (events) in iMovie 10.0.1. The deleted events were not moved to system garbage like in iMovie 11.
    Any exlanation for that?

    It depends on how you migrated from iMovie 11. When you convert your Events and Projects from iMovie 11, you have the option to keep your iMovie 11 Events and Projects. If you do, the iMovie 10 Events are created by using Hard Links to the files. This means that iMovie 11 and iMovie 10 both can point to the same file. Therefore, it does not take up any more space to have events for both iMovie 10 and 11. On the other hand, If you delete an Event from iMovie 10, but do not delete the corresponding event from iMovie 11, you do not gain any disk space back.
    Also, note that if you ever move or copy these events to another drive, the hard link will not carry over. At that point, both the events will take up space (basically doubling the space needed.)

  • How can I delete events from the iPad calendar?

    I can add events although not particularly user friendly. I cannot seem to remove them and/or just reset the whole calendar. At this point, I'll just use my trusty paper planner! I did try searching the forums and looking in the deficient iPad manual. Thanks in advance.

  • How I can delete event from calendar (iOS7)??

    How I can delete an event from calendar (iOS7)?? I can't find any icons, any gesture for that!!!

    I've never used the calendar app until I read this, so I created a test event and then spent about 15 minutes trying to figure out how to delete it, but I finally figured it out!  Here's how to do it:
    1) Tap the event to bring up the info panel about it.
    2) Tap "Edit".
    3) A long panel will appear, letting you set all sorts of info about the event, but there doesn't appear to be any way to delete it, but...
    4) Pull up on that long panel, and way down at the bottom is a red "Delete Event" button.  Tap it and confirm the deletion in the message box that appears, and the event it gone!

  • How can I delete event files from iMovie to save disk space?

    I have been shooting a lot of HD video of my son's soccer games and am now realizing some of the problems with the newer iMovie 10.   It appears to not allow for partial video deletion of videos in events (really too bad because previous versions of iMovie did this really well),  And, sometimes it will not actually move the deleted file to the Trash to help free up disk space on the computer.  This is also a problem because I have to did around in the View in Finder mode to find the events I just deleted in order to move them to the Trash manually.  Yeegads!  All of this said, what I appear to have happening is a huge amount of video that I never plan to keep (most of a 90 minute soccer game does not make it into highlights -- imagine that?) clogging up my hard drive.  My poor computer needs to have a cholesteral check.
    Any advice on how to manage large video files 40 minute HD files within (or outside) of iMovie 10 so that I can efficiently eliminate irrelevant content and actually delete files to prevent disk overload would be greatly appreciated.  I am thinking about using iMovie 9 to edit down and delete the unwanted footage and then update the files into iMovie 10 for some of its bells and whistles any problems with that?
    I must admit, I think iMovie 10 is a failure in certain essential ways.  It dropped Keywords, its deletion is not true deletion, and it's all or nothing when deleting an event.  I have always been a huge Apple fan, but this new release of iMovie 10 has not been a good user experience for me. I have read a lot of feedback from others with similar problems and issues with iMovie 10 and would really like to understand what Apple plans to do to address some of these defficiencies in what will hopefully be a much better next version.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hi PGWilli,
    If you are satisfied with 8.0 then you shouldn't need 4.01 at all. As long as all your bookmarks and personal information are in the newer version, go ahead and remove the older version.

  • Found My Answer_ How To Delete Event In iMovie( From The All Events Section)

      Had to delete it from my downloads folder!

    Hi,
    You need to first stop Windows Event Log service to be able to delete/move the log files manually or through script.
    Here is what you can try, create a batch file which would first stop the event log service and then move/delete the log
    files as per the criteria specified and start event log service again once logs are deleted/moved.
    Also,  have a look at following thread
    Is
    it safe to delete .evtx files mannualy?
    Thanks

  • How can I delete events, I keep getting multiple dates for an event, have deleted and then continue to re-appear. Any suggestions?

    Birthdates entered into the calendar become multiple events. In one case it has repeated itself over 200 times. I have manually deleted these events at least 3 times and they continue to reappear. Any ideas how to correct?

    One can delete it from one's computer. In the finder go to homeuser, movies, imovie events, delete the footage.
    Then reopen iMovie and see if that helps.

  • How do I delete "Events from my Mac" from my iPad photo library?

    I usually sync images from Aperture via iTunes. And though I've unchecked all the boxes so that no photos were to be synced, the pad still has a ton of photos that show up in the Events or Moments.
    I've now turned off Photo syncing in iTunes, which should have deleted all the photos, but the pad still has this huge album of images titled, "Events from my Mac". How do I get rid of these images? They're taking up piles of space. I can't trash them as no trash icon shows up. ?
    Help!

    More info:
    So under the iPad preferences in General/ Usage:
    Camera roll = 69.0 MB
    Photo Library  = 7.96 GB ? !!!!
    Photo Stream = 345 MB ? PhotoStream is turned off! ?
    I just don't understand.
    iCloud is turned off on the Mac. It's on on the pad but Streaming is turned off, both personal and sharing.
    In iTunes there are no pictures from Aperture to import or sync.
    So what gives?
    Help!

  • Can't delete event in imovie

    So I was messing with imovie, and I deleted the content, but the event itself won't delete. It keeps saying I have an event from 7/23/14.

    Hello xoxoyazyxoxo,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To delete an iMovie event please follow the steps below.
    Delete movies, trailers, clips, and events
    You can delete unwanted movies, trailers, and clips from an event, and you can delete an entire event in order to free up space on your hard disk.
    If you don’t see the Libraries list, click the Show button on the left side of the toolbar.
    In the Libraries list, select the event you want to delete, or select the event that contains the items you want to delete.
    In the browser, select the movies, trailers, or clips you want to delete.Tip:  To select multiple items, hold down the Command key as you click the items you want to select, or drag a selection rectangle around the items.
    Choose File > Move to Trash.If a clip you’re deleting is in use anywhere else in your library, the clip is not deleted.

  • How does one delete events?

    How can events be totally deleted from a calendar?

  • How to update iPhoto events in iMovie 13?

    When I use iMovie '13 to open my iPhoto library, I don't see the last few months of images. The most recent images are from October 2013... which is about when the new version of iMovie came out.
    How can I force iMovie '13 to reload my iPhoto library and keep it current?

    I found the problem! It's not iMovie... it's iPhoto. iPhoto is importing my events, but it isn't putting them in the correct chronological order. The newest events (from November and December) are listed below the October events (between October and September). Weird. But once I found them, there was no problem bringing them into iMovie. Thanks, all... guess I need to post this issue in a different forum! 

  • How can I organize events in iMovie by subject, rather than date or storage device?

    iMovie wants to organize events by either date or storage device.  I would like to organize them by subject, regardless of date.  Can this be done?  And how?  Thanks.

    You can do this for Projects, but not for Events.
    For organizing clips in Events, you might want to consider the Keyword feature, but it is not exactly what you are asking for.
    Here is a video of the Keyword feature in iMovie 08. If you have iMovie 09 or 11, the basics are the same, but the feature has been enhanced. See Help for details.
