How do you simply save a finished iMovie movie?

In the new awesome Yosemite iMovie 10.0.6. I'm trying to find out to simply save my finished project as a movie. Not to share it in email, facebook, vimeo, etc. just save it.
Secondly, where is everything now saved? Where is the folder of the movie I have created? I want to back up on another external as well as the Time Machine? The iMovie11 allowed this, though was somewhat cumbersome.
Third, how do I join all the clips once I'm done moving things around? I'd like to just make it into one big movie... is this "connect?" I can't find the info.
Thanks. I like iMovie, but every time there are now awesome, easily to use simple new changes, it's a struggle ...

iMovie 10 is completely rewritten so its really necessary to read about the changes. The help files are at: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/ (which are easier to search than using the iMovie help menu).
Both Projects and Events are now saved in libraries which are packages with the extension .imovielibrary. You can see their contents by right-clicking and selecting "Show Package Contents". The default location is in the ~/Movies folder but you can put them anywhere (unlike the Projects and Events folders of earlier versions).
To save a finished project as a movie file on your computer select File - Share -File. You will get a window her you can set quality and resolution. pressing "Next" you choose where you want to save the movie file.
Hope this helps,
Geoff.

How do you get timeline view on imovie 08 and speed up a clip on imovie 08

how do you get timeline view on imovie 08 and speed up a clip on imovie 08

Hi
You can not - Nobody else (if not a very selected few at Apple dev.group)
TimeLine was lost in iMovie'08 and 09 and a very simple one re-introduced in iMovie'11
Speed Change - Was omitted in iMovie'08 - and returned in iMovie'09 - BUT has to be used in a certain way - the glider/slide if used - will destroy the audio (a Known BUG - in both iM'09 and iM'11) but use of pre-set fixed no. 25% 50% 100% 200% etc. will work.
Yours - still using iMovie HD6 - and LOVE it - Bengt W

I have downloaded video to iPhotos but how do you get the video to iMovies

I have downloaded video to iPhotos but how do you get the video to iMovies

In iMovie look in the Event Library. You should see an Event named "iPhoto Videos" (assuming the videos are compatible with iMovie).
Each time you open iMovie it will look for any new videos in iPhoto and place thumbnails in the iPhoto Videos Event. You will be given a choice as to whether you want the thumbnails generated now or later. The thumbnails will appear in chronological (date) order in the Event window. Note that the clips themselves are not actually imported to iMovie - they are simply referenced by iMovie (that is, iMovie points to the clips in iPhoto).
Drag clips (or parts of clips) to a project. To start a new project, select File > New Project from iMovie's menu.
Please ask if you need more advice. Otherwise, click on Help > iMovie Help in the menu. There you will find plenty of good information about how to use iMovie, including short video tutorials.

How do you burn a dvd from imovie if computer does not have idvd anymore?

How can I burn a dvd from imovie if this computer does not have idvd? is there anything in mountain lion that will allow this simple task to be completed.'
When i try to finish a project in iphoto it wont even do that...can anyone help?

Buy iDVD.
Yes, there are other programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, DVD Creator, Wondershare, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie.
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/idvd.html
With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.
IDVD is easy to get. It is available on disk as part of iLife 11.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40. (works with all Mac OS 10.5 and newer.)

How do you put Save as back in the File menu?

I know under File the "save as" is gone. I also know that if you push the option key it will show up under the File menu until you take your finger off the option key. What I want to know is how can you get the "save as" back under the file menu without pushing another key. I had someone tell me how to do it in Mavericks but I can't seem to remember how he told me to do it. I appreciate any help here!
I'm on a 13" MacBook Pro with Retina and running Yosemite.
Thanks

You can try this or do a Google search to find alternatives.

How do you insert special characters with imovie 08?

How do you insert special characters into a project
with imovie 08?

Don't think that would work. Since my "system date" is already set at 2007. I have 2 imports, one has the year as 2048, and the other at 2016!! I don't know where they are getting these dates from, but they are not the system date.
Were the files imported directly from a camcorder or from files already on your hard drive? In the first case the year may have been taken from the time "stamp" recorded when the footage was shot (which may or may not have been correctly set by the user). On the other hand, files imported from the hard drive seem to be keyed to the date the imported file is written to the "Events" folder which, of course, reflects the current system time/date setting. That's why I said you had to then import (re-import) the files from a hard drive source -- i.e., to ensure the DTG would be re-written.

Why not ask your questions in the iMovie forums? It's where the iMovie users hang out at.

How do you create chapters in the iMovie version 10.0.3

I've been unable to find how to create chapters in the new iMovie IOS since its had serveral updates from iMovie 11.
I don't want to buy another movie creation program, but the new versions seem to have less and less movie edit/creation features.

Hi doc - if you have installed iMovie 08, then you are entitled to download iMovie HD6 from here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/iMovieHD6
Many people who are unhappy with 08 are using this instead.

How do you simply add (software) drums and bass to an acoustic track?!

I am pulling my hair out just trying to find instructions on how to add drums and bass to an acoustic track.
Keep in mind the track was laid down by me with a metronome so it's pretty spot-on; however a small adjustment with the timing needs to be made here and there. So, how do you make these adjustments?
Your help is very much appreciated!

Thanks for your reply. If your meaning my user folder, it is also located on the SSD. But If I understand you correctly, I should put all data files, music, videos, recordings, pictures on the HD. I should use the SSD for installing all programs. For example, Lion OS, iLife, iWork, Recording software, Parallels etc.
The only concern is some of these programs are large. Plus, with Parallels, I have some windows based software to install and this would occupy evenmore SSD space.
Is it possible to copy the Lion OS from the SSD to a partitioned HD? This way I can install Parallels and a Windows OS on one of the 1TB HD partitions. For example, create 3 partitions on the 1TB HD. Use Partition 1 for MacOS parallels and windows OS, Partition 2 for Mac and windows data and Partition 3 for Archivable data.
Does this seem like a logical process? I appreciate your input.

How do you send more than 1 iMovie project to the same iDVD project???

I have 3 separate movie projects in iMovie with chapter markers and am trying to send them over to ONE iDVD project. Every time I send a movie over, it creates a new iDVD project and I can't get all 3 movies in the same project.
I'm trying to put each movies as a submenu under the main menu in iDVD.
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the help Karsten...
OK, after a long night of trial and error, I've figured it out...
Issue 1: Files not showing up in the media pane--- miraculously after shutting down all open apps and then restarting the computer, my iMovie projects are now showing up in the movie pane of the media panel in iDVD...
Issue 2: Getting more than one movie project into iDVD with all the chapter settings--- a little more complicated!
In iMovie: SHARE > iDVD gives you a new iDVD project with 2 submenus: 1 with the entire movie, and 1 with "scene selections"
If you try to add a second iMovie project to the same iDVD project; it's not possible from within iMovie (at least not that I can figure out!).
You can add this second iMovie project to the same iDVD project by adding it to the project within iDVD from the MEDIA > MOVIES pane. This, however, will only add the movie and not give you the second submenu with scene selections.
To get the 2nd iMovie project into iDVD, I dragged the 2nd movie project from a finder window into the opened iDVD project. This adds the 2 submenus (1 with the movie and 1 with the scene selections) to the iDVD project.
Hope this is useful to someone else, too.
Thanks!

How do you import a screenshot into imovie?

I took a screenshot on my mac, how do I then import that into imovie?

Take the screenshot into iPhoto and import it from there.

How do you delete files, applications, downloads, music, movies, not used?

When i turned on my new Macbook in the morning today, i was at 56gb's, out of 80gb. Now it states its a 53gb's. i obtained some music files but wish now to delete them off my computer. how do i do this? how can i get precious gb's back?
isnt there something on the macbook to delete unwanted things? like control panel on windows? also need to delete photos and music and one movie. how do i do this? simply drag to trash can or is there more?
there has to be something already on my macbook that can delete and manage my unwanted files so i can attain more gb's back.

In spotlight when I search Superman, it find it. I click it
and automatically Quicktime opens.
Clicking on the file will open the file. To the right of any items found with a Spotlight search is a light blue circle with an i in the center short for info. Click on this which provides the location of the file.
When downloading files from the internet with Safari, etc. you can designate a default location to save the downloaded files. I choose the Desktop and if the download is something I want to keep, I transfer it to the location of my choice.
2nd: Music. It did not originate from iTunes but is on iTunes now.
I deleted the original music folder with about 10 songs by taking it
to the trash can and emptying it...but its still playing in iTunes.
Would deleting it on iTunes completly delete it and providing me
with more gb's?
Yes as previously provided - if you have "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" selected at Advanced under the General tab for iTunes preferences (which I believe is the default setting), then there are two copies of the music you obtained if the music was downloaded or placed on the hard drive.
The links that you provided... will they take care of these issues?
Can they EASILY help me delete unwanted items so i can obtain
back my gb's ?
The links I provided will not help you with the downloaded music and movie issue. I would create a music named folder to place downloaded music and a movie named folder to place downloaded movies, etc. This way, you know where any downloaded data is stored/located.
After importing any downloaded music into iTunes keeping "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" selected, you can then delete the original downloaded files and the same when importing any downloaded pictures to iPhoto.
The first link I provided includes information on deleting applications and then 2nd link provides suggestions on freeing up hard drive space.
