How do I save project in IMovie 3.0.3

I am tearing my hair out. I can't load footage into the Mac with IMovie 4.0.1, and I can't save project in the Mac with IMovie 3.0.3. I work for an hour (or now for a minute) and CAN'T save the project. What am I doing wrong??? Thanks. I can save project with 4.0.1, but I can't load footage into it, and it isn't as easy as you would think to schlep the hard drive around. Marcia

What's the error message?
You must save to a Mac-formatted drive, not a PC-formatted drive.

How can I save my original IMovie and then use that same movie, make a few changes and save as something else?

I made an IMovie. Now I want to keep that original Imovie but make another one using the original IMovie, make changes and save it as another IMovie. How do I do this.

In iMovie version 10 select your Project in the Libaray and choose Edit>Duplicate Movie to create a copy of your Project. Then make your changes to the copy.
In iMovie verison 9 select your Project and choose File>Duplicate Project.

Cant save project in iMovie...

I save the project in iMovie then close the file. When I reopen the project files have been placed in the trash resulting in my havine to re-add the video clips and still pictures - re-adjust the audio used in the slide show.
Again I save the project before closing out.
Is there a step im missing???

Hello, buddyhat,
Welcome to the discussions.
As per Sue's post above, are you sure your external drive is Mac formatted?
You can recover your iMovie's last save, so don't save again or iMovie will save as it is now, with all the clips in its trash, and you will not be able to recover the last save. Follow the directions given by Karl Petersen in this thread:

Can't figure out how to open multiple projects in imovie

I want to copy clips from one project into another. I've read you simply open the two projects and drag clips from one to the other. I may be missing something quite basic, but I cannot figure out how to get two projects open at once. If I open from the project list, I can only choose one. What am I missing????

Open the project that you want to take video from, select the frames that you want to include in your other project, and Edit > Copy (or Command-C). Return to your Projects list, select the project you want to add the frames to, move the playhead to the point where you want the frames to be inserted, and Edit > Paste (Command-V).

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 do I 'save as' on imovie 10 projects?

Hi
I've created a movie in imovie but need to modify content and save as - how do I do this?
Why has the file functionality been taken off - very frustrating!
Cheers

Save as what?
I'm thinking that you would simply open iMovie, open your project, make your changes, and finally click Share. You'll get the option to save a file or send the video to iTunes or youtube.
If this doesn't help, then please explain exactly what you're trying to accomplish.

How do I save project and update changes in MAC and extternal drive

I make music on my IMAC> I have an extrenal hard drive for extra storage and backup.
Say I make Song A and save it onto my docs in the Mac.....how do I create a backup of that project to be placed in the exteranl drive, and in future sessions, I will make changes made to SONG A, and be able to update the backup copy with the changes to the song?
Similarly, I want to have all my pictures in the MAC and backup of all pictures in the drive. But when I bring ine new pcitures I want to be able to store new pics in both MAC and external drive in one snap
thaanks
thanks

One solution is to wait until next year for Leopard. The Time Machine features seems to do what you want.
I doubt you can set up a RAID-1 volume with an external drive, nor would you really want to given the slower interface to the external drive.
That only really leaves backup software. I'm sure there are lots of free or inexpensive backup/synchronization tools. I use RsyncX, but it's not the most intuitive tool for the uninitiated.

Can't save projects in iMovie

I keep getting this message:
Cannot Save Changes
Please check the disk to ensure there is enough free space and you have permission to write projects. iMovie will try to save periodically, but your changes will be lost if you quit iMovie before the problem is resolved.
I have already "repaired permissions" in the Utility Disk and it's still not allowing me to save my project.
What can I try next?

How to bring back project to iMovie project window?

I created a project and want to edit more later days. Meanwhile I moved the project file to another hard drive to make more space on the original hard drive.
When I open iMovoe the title of file is showing, but no content. How can I bring the project back to iMovie project window?

First, move the Project back to the Movies/iMovie Projects folder on your Mac. In other words, move it back where it was to begin with.
You should now see it in iMovie and be able to edit it, unless the Event folders were moved as well. If they were moved, move them back to Movies/iMovie Events.
Now, you can move them back to the external drive and have them still work, but you need to do this from within iMovie.
Your external drive must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). FAT 32 or NTFS drives will not work.
In iMovie, click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK. Your external drive should show up in the Project Library and in the Event Library in iMovie.
To move the Project back to the external drive, hold down the Command key while dragging the icon for the project to the icon for the external drive in the Project Library.
If you want to move the Events as well, you can right click on the Project (which is now on the external drive and select Consolidate Media...

Does FCPX auto save projects like iMovie does?

One thing I don't love about iMovie. Is the way everything is auto saved. You can't choose to save or cancel your changes like other apps. Please tell me FCPX doesn't do this, or if it does, there is a way to disable that.

I hated it at first, but now I love it. As Floridajo says, you can duplicate a project if you really want to but as long as you have a reliable backup system, you don't need to do this. FCP X's Autosave is generally very reliable indeed. There were some issues with autosave not working in the original version of the app, but in 10.02 (current one) it works very well.

how do you save project in DiskImage ? Using Disk Utility ? Or ?????

do I have to Build thr project in a TS_Folder and then bring it in Disk Utility ?

No, you can save directly to a disc image by doing the following:
1. Choose Build & Format when you're ready to make the disc.
2. In the General tab of the Build & Format window, you'll see a section for Destination. The output device here probably defaults to your DVD writer. Change it to "Hard Drive". Now, the output format item will become active, and likely defaults to ".img"
3. Perform the Build & Format, and when it finishes you'll have an .img file which you can burn to disc using Disk Utility, Toast, or any other program that can burn from a disc image.

How to import a Project from iMovie 09 to FCPx

im having a bit of trouble imprting my project with all the edits and sounds and titles to Final cut pro x and i wondering what is the correct order to import it. and the project is on a diffrent computer than FCPx, does that matter?

All the media can be seen with iMovie and Quick Time. If I import individual clips (Import>Files) from the iMovie Event folders into FCE they can be opened and played. It seems the process of the XML Translation of an iMovie Project and importation into FCE is the central problem. I revisited the FCE Video tutorial on importing from iMovie and I believe I am following the correct procedure.
I do have the video clips on an external disk and the imovie projects have to be on the internal disk - could this be an issue.
Also I don't know anything about "scratch disk"s - I saw on one post that there could be a problem there....
Thanks for your help
