How do I Import projects from iMovie 11 to iMovie 08

Hi All,
yesterday I tried to transfer a project from imovie 11 to another mac with imovie 08. I have followed the procedure suggested for doing the opposite, such as from imovie 08 to imovie 11. As I'm writing here I did not succeed...
I can import imovie event folder and it was red from imovie 08 but when I'm pasting the project into the project folder of the computer with imovie 08 (copied previusly from the other computer with imovie 11) imovie 08 cannot see is it, and when I'm trying to import it from file>import an HD project it's seen from imovie 08 greyed out.
First of all: It is possible to do it?
Is that the right procedure to adopt?
hope it make sense and someone found already the issue so can answer me quickly
cheers

iMovie projects are not down-wards-compatible.
to open iM11 Projects you have to use iM11.

  • How can I import movies from iTunes to iMovie?

    I download video lectures from iTunes University to iTunes 10 and need to export them to iMovie 11 for editing. How can I do this?

    I can't figure out how to import from iTunes into iMovie. I can select and view all movies in iTunes, but don't see any options for moving them to iMovie. Any suggestions?
    Open iMovie '08, select the "Import Movies..." File menu option, navigate to where the movie is located on your hard drive and import it in the "Copy" mode. Alternatively, navigate to the file in the finder and "drop import" the file directly to a convenient named "event" in the open iMovie '08 application or "event" folder if the iMovie '08 application is not open.

  • How do I import projects from my iphone 4s to my Mac's Garageband 2011??

    I've just recently got my iMac fixed. I haven't been able to use it for the past 2yrs, so I've been kinda left behind. My iMac's operating system is OsX Ver. 10.6.8. I'm having issues with seeing my Garageband Projects and even iMovie Projects from my iTunes App Manager window. I need help...

    Have you updated to GarageBand 6.0.5? That is needed for compatibility with IOS GarageBand projects.  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1507
    To be able to import video from your iPad you need at least upgrade to iMovie 9.0.4  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1412

  • How do I import projects from a different computer?

    I had to save my projects from my FCP X from a laptop on an external, and now I want to move them into FCP X on my new computer. However, I am not finding a solution as to how to do that. My project is grayed out when I try importing from XML.

    You have to update the old projects and events. See if this gets you started. You won't be able to go back to the other machine, unless you update the software there as well.

  • How do I import movies from iPhoto to imovie

    I have some video in iphoto, which doesn't appear in imovie - why is this?
    Any suggestions very welcome.

    Another possibility is to use the media browser in iMovie to access the iPhoto library directly.

  • How do i import videos from my iPhoto to my iMovie?

    I need to know how to import video clips from my iPhoto to my iMovie to put into a movie. I know how to import pictures from iPhoto to iMovie but not video clips. Help??

    All the compatible videos that you have in iPhoto should appear automatically in iMovie in an Event named "iPhoto Videos".
    Each time you open iMovie, it will look for any new video clips in iPhoto. Thumbnails will be generated and placed in chronological order in the iPhoto Videos Event.
    You can drag clips from the iPhoto Videos Event to the timeline of any project (new or established), just as you do with clips in other Events.
    Note that no duplication occurs on the hard drive. The clip thumbnails in the iPhoto Videos Event are simply referenced (linked to) the actual video in the iPhoto app.
    So, there is really no need to separately import the iPhoto video clips into iMovie - unless of course you have a particular reason to do this (such as for a better organisation of the clips).

  • Imovie 10.0.1 How to recover a project from recycle bin

    I want to know how to retrieve a project from iMovie trash.
    The project, in fact, is not visible in the computer's recycle bin.
    thanks

    This is what the help says:
    Move video clips, projects, or events to the Trash
    You can delete unwanted clips or projects from an event, and you can delete an entire event in order to free up space on your hard disk.
    In the Libraries list, do one of the following:Note:  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.
    To delete an event: Select the event you want to delete.
    To delete clips or projects in an event: Select the event that contains the items you want to delete and then select the clips or projects you want to delete in the browser.
    Choose File > Move to Trash.If a clip you’re deleting is in use anywhere else in your library, it is not deleted.Note:  Selecting a clip and pressing Delete marks it as rejected. For more information, see Mark clips as favorite or rejected.
    When I do File>Move to Trash, it doesn't move it to my systemwide trash. In order to test it fully I'd need to import a clip I'm not wanting to keep and then trash it.

  • How do I import video from Sony TRV22E into iMovie ?

    How do I import video from Sony TRV22E into iMovie ?

    Hi
    Sony TRV22E - CAN ONLY export the VIDEO material via a FireWire Cable (iLinc)
    Then Your Mac need eiter
    - a FireWire port - or -
    - a Thunderbolt port
    if only Thunderbolt - Then You need a FireWire to Thunderbolt converter.
    The USB- can only copy over the Still photos You also cam take with Your Camera. Will NEVER work for Video Export.

  • How do I import video from my canon vixia hv40 into imovie?

    How do I import video from my canon vixia hv 40 into imovie?

    First decide which editing program you intend to use; iMovie, FCE, FCP, Adobe Premier, etc. Read the user's manual or Help files for your chosen application to determine the steps needed: the procedure will vary somewhat from application to application.
    Next, with the camera and the computer off, connect the Firewire cable to both units, then power up. Set the camera to VTR (play) mode. Open your editing program and follow the instructions provided in the Help files for capturing DV footage from tape.
    Do NOT expect the camera to mount on your desktop as if it were a hard drive or optical disc.

  • How do i import video from my sony cx130 to imovie

    how do i import video from my sony cx130 to imovie?

    Follow the steps below to troubleshoot if the computer does not recognize the USB connection from the camcorder.
    Turn off the camcorder.
    Ensure the USB cable is connected securely to the camcorder.
    Ensure the other end of the USB cable is connected securely to the USB port on the computer. NOTE:  Connection through a USB hub is not supported. 
    With the exception of the mouse, keyboard, and camcorder, remove any other USB connected devices from the computer.
    Turn on the camcorder.
    On the camcorder LCD screen, touch the computer or hard disk icon.
    If the issue is still not resolved, connect the USB cable to a different USB port on the computer.
    If the issue is still not resolved, try uninstalling and reinstalling the USB driver.
    If the issue is still not resolved, test the USB port on the computer by connecting a different USB device.

  • I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this?

    I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.

    The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
    The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
    Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
    This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.

  • How do i import footage from a dvd that i made on imovie, back into imovie?

    How do I import footage from a dvd that i made on imovie, back into imovie?

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
