How do I play an iMovie '11 project on a flash drive?

I decided to save a few iMovie 11 projects and events on a USB flash drive, but the problem is, I just copied them to the drive and when I tried to open them in iMovie, they will not play. The clips from the events are saved on to the drive as Quicktime movie files, but the actual iMovie projects will not play in iMovie when I click on them. I have already deleted the projects from iMovie without realizing it and I'm afraid the projects are gone forever. Is there a way I can retreve them?

Update: I have gotten the videos off of the drive and put them back into the iMovie projects folder. The music is still there and the transitions are present as well, but when I play the movie, the image shown says "source clip is missing" in the video, even though the image thumbnails are there in the "Project Library" screen Are the clips damaged in any way?

    Need some more information please.
    Just how did you place your movie on a flash drive?
    Did you export your project via the Share menu?
    The way to do what you want is to Share > Export Movie.. or Share > Export using QuickTime.
    That will render your movie project and make it playable in any QuickTime enabled computer.

  • How do i import an iMovie 08 project into Imovie 11?

    How do i import an iMovie 08 project into Imovie 11?

    I don't still have iMovie 08, but this method works in iMovie 11.
    Go to...Home, movies, iMovie projects, find the project you want and right click and click "show package contents".
    That will show a movie file and some other files. Drag the file to the desktop and rename it .mp4.
    then go to iMovie, import, navigate to the mp4 file on your desktop and it will let you import to the events section and then you can add it to your movie.
    Takes a lot longer to describe than to do. The quality seems to be preserved though I don't know if titles etc get transferred over, kind of doubt it.

    Hello there,
    It sounds like you have a video file you exported from iMovie that you would like to import back into the program. Depending on the version of iMovie the process is a bit different so choose the correct article for your version:

    Or

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    how do I transfer photos from iPad 2 to a flash drive?

    You don't.  There is the Camera Connection Kit, which let's you download pictures to your iPad via SD card, but the reverse is not a standard feature of iPad.  The best method would be to connect your iPad to your computer and transfer the pictures to your computer via iTunes.

    How can I save my document from pages to a flash drive?

    Locate the file on your Mac, plug in the USB stick (the mac should prompt you to open it, or do this automatically), click and drag the file from the computer (wherever it's saved to) to the USB folder. That's just putting an already saved file there.
    To save it TO your USB stick, find it in the Save To diolog on the sidebar. Click it, then save it there.

    How do I convert DOS doc to read & run USB Flash Drive?

    I'm not really sure what exactly you're trying to do.  Possibly post on the Microsoft forums as DOS was their product?
    Perhaps if you provide a bit more detail about what you have now and what you're trying to do with it (desired end result), I might be able to make another suggestion.

    How do I move files from my desktop to a flash drive?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Open a Finder window by pressing the Finder icon in the Dock, and choose the flash drive in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices". Then, drag the file from the Desktop to the Finder window, so it will be copied to the flash drive.
    Note that the file won't be copied if your flash drive is formatted in NTFS, so you will have to install an application like Paragon NTFS or you will have to format the flash drive in a different filesystem
