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

How do i import XML-project from imovie with the clips being apart? And not imported as one big clip...

Hello!
I have a problem with my final cut express. I want to import my project from iMovie (multiple clips in one project) without the clips together as one big clip.
Important: XML-from imovie
This had worked before but one day a note showed up at the screen saying:
If i choose yes the project becomes one big clip and if i choose no this error shows up:
and the project wont be imported.
Help me please! This has never been a problem before.
Sorry for the bad english, i am from sweden.
Thanks! //Karl Ekdahl

I am trying out Final Cut Pro X and trying desperately to import a project from iMovie 11 (version 9.0.9). There is no export to FCPX in iMovie 11 nor is there import from iMovie in FCPX.

Can someone please help me?
I am trying out Final Cut Pro X on a 30 day trial. So far so good.
I am now trying desperately to import a project from iMovie 11 (version 9.0.9) into FCPX.
I have read multiple posts on this subject and they all recommend File/import/ from iMovie project in FCPX
However there is NO such option under File/import in FCPX - nor is there an option to export to FCPX in iMovie 11
Can anyone please enlighten me.

The current version of FCPX does not work with that version of iMovie. You need version 10.0.3, which allows you to send a project to FCP.

How to Import AVCHD Lite From iMoves to Aperture

I am very new at this, but I have found that I can import my AVCHD Lite movies from my Panasonic camera into iMoves with no problem. Just plug in the camera card in the card reader and off we go. This is great, now I would like to move the AVCHD Lite movies from iMove to Aperture, please tell me in very simple terms how I can do this or if it is impossible

You can't import AVCHD to Aperture.
Think of it this way: Video files are huge and so folks who work with Video talk of Production Formats and Deliver Formats. So, they shoot in Production formats because they contain the most data, are less compressed and survive the editing process with minimal quality loss. They then export the finished product to Delivery formats. These are heavily compressed and not suited for further editing. But the smaller file size is ideal for delivering to the viewer.
AVCHD is a Production Format (not a pro-level one, obviously) and is designed for processing and exporting to a smaller sized deliver format. That's what Movie is for.
It's broadly analogous to shooting Raw and processing into a Jpeg.

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.

Import project from iMovie 10.0.1 in the Final Cat Pro X 10.0.9

How can I import a project from iMovie 10.0.1 in the Final Cat Pro X 10.0.9?
If the file before the project was in the ' Movies ' folder, now there is no such file. There's only ' Library iMove ', but no file that can be moved in the Final Cat Pro.

Thanks for your confirmation! It seems to me this is the situation after tons of research.....
I really don't understand Apple's logic/philosophy now.... in the new iMovie... it takes out the keywords which is extremely important to anyone with many clips. I don't mind to pay for the expensive FCPX but I am told that FCPX cannot migrate the iMovie library..... sigh....... what **** they are thinking....
BTW, it seems the "Send project to Final Cut Pro" function doesn't support sending even the "Event". It supports only sending project with the clips associated with the project. There is no way to send the clip without associated to project. Anyone can confirm it?

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 import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto?

How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? Or how do I export individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? My final goal is to have a DVD of individual photos from a video I recently shot. Thanks

Here is one way to do it, although you will see there could be variations.
1) Open iMovie
2) Start a new project - name it Stills for iPhoto (or a name of your choice)
3) Go to your EVENT. Find the spot with the cursor that you want a photo of. Right-click (or control-click if you don't have a mouse) and select ADD STILL FRAME TO PROJECT.
4) The photo should be in the Project called Stills for iPhoto.
5) Right-click (control-click) on the photo and select REVEAL IN FINDER.
6)When the finder window opens, right-click and select COPY. Go to your Desktop or a folder of your choice and right-click PASTE
7) Drag the photo from your Desktop to iPhoto

How do i burn dvd from iMovie

How do I burn dvd from iMovie. iMac has yesomite installed.

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

Transitions don't work after importing a project from Premiere to AE

I've imported a project from Premiere CS3 to AE CS3 and all my transition (fade + wipes) are now solids and they don't work on timeline or on exports, but they still show in my sequence.
How can I make AE use those transition again so I don't have to go through all project and keyframe transitions.
Notice that I use Cineform and that those transition are Cineform's one; hope that doesn't cause the problem since AE uses CF too.
Thnak you for your time and interest in my problem.

Exactly the problem. AE is only to able to translate a few transitions, which include the normal cross-disolve, linear wipe, dip-to-color and a few others, but since those routines are hard-coded in the Premiere Pro Importer, they have no way f doing the same for third-party products. So more or less you will have to rebuild your stuff, either by using the proper transitions in PPro or in AE.
