How do you re-locate an I-movie project that disappears from the project / edit library in i-movie11?

As a school teacher, I viewed the student's movie project in edit mode and I known it was there. The student was attempting to burn the project to a disc to back it up and it disappeared. The raw video clips are still sitting there but the edited project is no longer visible. I've searched the computer but can't find it anywhere. I think the student renamed the project as they were preparing yo back it up. Any advice on how to locate the project would be appreciated.

iMovie will only see projects that are in the Home/Movies/iMovie Projects folder (or in the iMovie Projects folder at the top level of an external drive).
Your student may have moved the project somewhere else. If so, the solution is to move it back, and then restart iMovie.
The project will have a file extension of .rcproject.
If you do not know where he might have moved the project, try doing a Spotlight Search on rcproject, and they should all come up. (Spotlight is in the top right corner of your screen).

  • When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

    When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

    In Logic:
    Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
    This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
    On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number.  It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.

  • How do I recover an iMovie project that "disappeared" from iMovie, but its' thumbnail/package contents is still in Finder?

    I created an iMovie project and finalized it, but when I tried to look for it, it was gone in the iMovie project library. I can find it on"finder", and open package contents etc, but it won't play in iMovie. How do I recover it? Its really important!

    I think the trick is to 'Considate source media' on the new library.  See:

  • How can i create a gradient with four colours that graduate from the four corners of a rectangle?

    I've been trying various ways of doing this and nothing's worked so far; I've tried blending two gradients, tried blending four different colours but no luck with that either.
    What I'm looking to do is exactly what is displayed when you double click on the colour picker and you select R, G or B. Any help will be much appreciated.

    I'd tried using two linear gradients but it didn't give the results i wanted, but i've sorted it out using gradient mesh. Thanks!

  • How do I fix it when an e-mail account disappears from the left panel of the main interface (with inbox of another account on right)..

    I recently added two accounts to Thunderbird and everything seemed to be going smoothly. Today I was using one of the new accounts and wanted to change to my old Edurostream account. But it was nowhere to be found. The new accounts and another old account are there. If I go to "accounts" Edurostream is still there, but there is no way I know of to get from there to the inbox for that account. There is no error message. I am using the latest version of Thunderbird (24.6)

    If you have all your emails going to Local folders, this sounds like you have a Global Inbox for the pop mail account.
    You can check this here:
    Tools > Account settings > Server Settings for the mail account.
    click on 'Advanced' button.
    Is this selected?
    'Inbox for a different account' and 'Global Inbox (Local Folders)'
    Global Inbox accounts do not show the mail account name in the Folder Pane as it does not use those folders.
    See info on Global Inbox account:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Global_Inbox
    If you remove the account, the emails will remain in Local Folders.
    If you change the settings as described above to point to 'Inbox for this servers account (also see image below - words may be a bit different as not an image of latest version), then you will see the mail account in the Folder Pane with it's own set of folders. New mail will go to those folders, but old mail will remain in Local Folders.

  • IMovie '11 How do I recover a project that appears within the IMovie Projects folder but does not show in the Project Library?

    I have had my MBP for just over 3 months now!  Yes, I made the switch and up until now I have been quite happy.
    I now have my Time Capsule, Apple TV running and am generally getting used to life as a Mac user.............even bought Aperture and loaded all the family photos.  Now time to make some Travel movies.
    I have been working on a particular IMovie project for a few weeks now.  Size is 365MB.  Yesterday I closed IMovie and when accessing later that project is not available in the Project Library window.  It does appear in the IMovie Projects folder but I cannot open it.  I have copied the file to DVD just in case.  All up I have 4 Projects, the other 3 are practice files, smaller but they do appear in the Project Library.
    I have scoured the bulletin boards and tried many suggested fixes to no avail.  Main suggestion was to remove the following files from Library/Preferences
    com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
    com.apple.iApps.plist
    However, this did not sort out my problem.  In the end I put back the original files.
    Does anyone have a straightforward fix for my problem or is this one of those ongoing issues that that needs Apple's attention. 
    After all the file is there with the others.  They are available.
    I realise that I can restore from Time Capsule but I am missing the last three days thanks to 'drop out'.
    Thanks.......

    Yes, considering we have an ongoing 'glich' within an Apple program with no obvious solution, we should be able to direct it straight to an Apple rep.  I will peruse this possibility when I get a moment.
    You can report the problem by providing feedback to Apple. In the iMovie app, from the menu select iMovie > Provide iMovie Feedback. This will take you to an Apple page where you can complete a form and submit it to Apple.
    The fix for this will probably turn out to be simple/easy.....................so why doesn't Apple comment and/or address it????
    Other than the forum moderators, Apple doesn't normally monitor these forums, nor make comments on posts. So, it's up to us to report the problem to them directly (using the feedback form mentioned above).
    As the problem has affected me just the one time (touch wood), I haven't bothered to report it as yet. But, after seeing your posts on this, I'm now reconsidering that. Something must be triggering it. My system is in pretty good shape, so I'm guessing it must be a glitch of some sort, either in Mountain Lion or in the iMovie app itself. Perhaps it's a 3rd party app causing the problem? It doesn't give us much confidence now, in that we may start worrying about losing other projects.
    A good practice is to duplicate the project from time to time (something I'll be doing more of), although Time Machine backups also provide the necessary security. To duplicate, in Project Library view (where all the projects are listed) click on the project name so that it is highlighted, then select File > Duplicate Project. Alternatively, right-click (or Control-click) on the project name and select Duplicate Project from the pop-up menu. Of course, you may already know this. Duplicating probably won't guarantee that the copy will not also disappear from the Project Library, but is worth doing anyway.
    As I mentioned in the post I linked to earlier, when the problem arose with my iMovie project I was using ProRes 422 clips I had imported from a Final Cut Pro X Event. My immediate thought was that ProRes 422 had caused the problem. But this of course may have been coincidental - reinforced now by your experience, where you are probably working with Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) clips.
    Anyway, glad to hear that you've recovered your project through Time Machine. Unfortunately, I had to start from scratch as I had Time Machine turned off during my editing sessions (that's a story for another day).

  • How do I move a file directly from the desktop to a folder in OX 10?

    I am new to Mac and the Mountain Lion software.  Having worked exclusively with PC operating systems, I am familiar with how to work with files in Windows, but am having trouble doing similar actions in OX 10.  How do I move a file directly from the desktop to a folder in OX?  Although this answer is likely in a video tutorioal (somewhere), I do not have the time to sit an arbitrarily watch generic OS videos that give a broad brush overview, without answering specific queries.  Any help out there?

  • How do I move all the photos from the i-photo library on one account to the i-photo library on another account?

    I have recently bought a new mac mini running Lion, and yesterday I migrated an account off an older machine running Tiger.
    I want to delete the older account from this machine as it is causing some problems with i-cloud, but I want to transfer the photos first and add them to a different account on the new computer.
    So my question is How do I move all the photos from the i-photo library on one account to the i-photo library on another account?

    Copy the iPhoto library from the old Mac to the Desktop of the new one.  Then download the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager, which is now compatible with Mt. Lion, and use it to merge the two libraries into a new, third library.  This will preserve the two libraries in case the merged library isn't to your liking. 
    Here are screenshots of iPLM's coping and merging preferences:
    When you're satisfied that the new, merged libraray is complete and working OK you can delete the two earlier libraries.

  • The location bar has disappeared from the top of any tab that I open. How can I get it back?

    The location bar has disappeared from the top of any tab I open, so there is nowhere to type in a web address. Could I have accidentally made this happen? How do I get it back?

    Just to be clear, it's not below the tab bar either? (That's the new style in Firefox 4 and 5.)
    To hide or show toolbars, you can use the old View menu.
    If you have the orange Firefox button, tap the Alt key to temporarily display the classic menu bar.
    View menu > Toolbars > ''check'' Navigation Toolbar
    If you are viewing the navigation toolbar but it's incomplete or corrupted, you can reset your toolbars.
    View menu > Toolbars > Customize
    In the large dialog with the icons, toward the bottom, click Restore Default Set.
    Does any of that help?
