How to import iMovie 11 projects to iPhoto?

How do i import imovie 11 projects onto iphoto? please help!

iMovies are not designed to be viewed in iPhoto. You should watch your movies from iTunes. You can SHARE/To iTunes and your movies will be in iTunes. From iTunes, you can watch them on your Mac, on your Apple TV, or you can sync to iPhone, iPad, iPod. You will also be able to access them through the Media Browser in Keynote, Pages, GarageBand, Logic, and iDVD.
The only movies that should be stored in iPhoto are short, unedited clips taken by a still camera. iMovie can edit them without taking them out of iPhoto.

How to Import iMovie v9 Projects/Events to iMovie v10

I had a heck of a time finding info on transitioning from the previous version (v9.0.9) to the current version (v10.0.7). One of the problems I was having was getting the new version to recognize my old Projects and Events. After some digging here and elsewhere, I figured out what was wrong and how to fix it.
In my case, I had provisioned iMovie 9 to keep the Events folder on an external hard drive while the Projects folder was on my iMac's internal drive in the Movies folder. Don't ask me why they were separated; I can't remember why I did that or even if it was a mistake. Whatever the reason, it caused trouble when it came time to upgrade.
iMovie 10 keeps all the Projects and Events in a single Library file. By default, this Library is placed in your Movies folder on your Mac's internal hard drive. During the initial installation, iMovie will ask if you want to import the old versions Events and Projects. You can opt to do it right then or wait until later. When you do attempt to import these files, iMovie 10 will look in the Movies folder for the previous version's iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folders. If you have both of these folders in their default position, the new iMovie should be able to immediately import the files by copying them to the new version's Library. The old files will remain in their folders and will be useable by the previous version without any problems.
If you have the previous version's Projects and/or Events folders somewhere other than where iMovie 10 expects to find them, you may encounter an error when you try to import the old files. Even if the attempt fails, iMovie 10 creates extra files inside the old folder that prevent a successful import if you try it again. You'll need to look inside the old iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folders for a file called "UpdatedToiMovie10" and delete it from each folder. (In my case, I deleted these files from any drive that had these folders, not just the internal hard drive.) Restart iMovie 10 and select File > Update Projects and Events... to restart the import process. As long as the new iMovie Library is in the same folder as the old iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folders, this should proceed without a hitch.
If, like me, your old projects and events were stored at least partially on an external hard drive, you should consolidate them onto a single drive. DO NOT do this from the Mac's Finder. Move the projects and events to the drive where you want them by dragging them in iMovie 9's browser. Hold the Command key while dragging to move the files instead of just copying them. (If you copy the files instead of moving them, you'll have duplicates on both drives. It's not a problem, but the files will take up at least twice as much space on your drives.) Once the files are located where you want them, you can quit iMovie 9 and re-attempt the iMovie 10 import process by selecting File > Update Projects and Events...
I hope this helps anyone else having this issue. I also hope that anyone who can see where I've explained this incorrectly will please post a correction as a response.

How to import imovie HD projects into imovie 10.0.3

Hello
I still a serie of projects recorded in my computer with imovie HD.
I have now imovie 10.0.3 and OS 10.9.2 and I do not manage to convert these "old" files.
How can I do as Mavericks does not allow to run imovie HD.
Thanks
Marc

You can run iMovie HD 6 on mavericks, but not HD 5.
You can save the project as a Quicktime file (best quality) and import that into iMovie 10.

How to import imovie 04 project in to '09?

Hi
I would like to import a project I started under imovie 04 from several years ago, since I now have a mac powerful enough to process it. imovie 04 and 09 are quite different, 04 was much more intuitive. What can I import? In 04, there is a media folder with clips, an imovie project file (4kb). '09 doesn't seem to give me the option to open the 04 project.
thank you

You should be able to copy the folder into your Eclipse workspace folder, then go to File--New--Project and select CFML Project (under CFEclipse).
If it is an existing Eclipse project, e.g. there is already a .project file in the folder, you can follow the steps at Importing Existing Projects.

Help! I can't import iMovie HD project to iMovie 11

I have this project I was working on for hours in iMovie HD (v. 6.0.3), but I wasn't happy with the editing features so I decided to upgrade to iMovie 11. In iMovie 11 (v. 9.0.8), I followed the command of File > Import > iMovie HD Project. Then I selected the project I had been working on with "optimize video" checked and the "Save to" location being HDD.
Once I clicked "Import" I got the following with absolutely no progress bar and no video clips. I have also tried unchecking the "optimize video" box and with different old iMovie HD projects and I always get the same thing: a blank project with no video clips. I also checked for updates for both iMovie 11 and iMovie HD and restarted my computer.
HELP!

Hi
iMovie 1 to HD6 - is one product in up-grade
iMovie'08 to 11 - a compleatly different program with no relation to iMovie 1 - HD6 what so ever.
iMovie'08 to 11 are in my opinion no gain at all over iMovie HD6 only a severe loss of functions.
BUT I USE - miniDV tape = interlaced SD-Video and for this iMovie HD6 is the best tool - if one doesn't go for FinalCut Express or Pro (not Pro-X) - as these are realy the best ever done - for my video works.
So I would stay in iMovie HD6 and complete the Movie - or -
Start all over in Video-editor of choice (the one You like)
There are no working transcioding tools to move project over from iMovie HD6 to ANY THING ELSE - Not iM'08-11 or FinalCut any version - transitions, texts and other editings will not travel over in an editable form if at all.
Yours Bengt W

Can someone please tell me how to import a photo from my iPhoto library into Photoshop Elements 11. o library

Can someone tell me how to import a photo from my iPhoto library into Photo Shop Elements 11. When I am in Photo Shop Elements and I go to import the only option is to import from a camera. I want to import a photo from iPhoto. If I can't figure this out Photo Shop Elements is totally useless to me.

Not sure what you are trying to do
If you want to use PSE as an editor for iPhoto then set it in the iPhoto preferences (you need to search the forums for the exact settings - they are not obvious)
The general answer to yoru question is to import a photo form iPhoto to any other program is to select the photo in iPhoto and export to the desktop and import from there
Please explain what it is taht you want to do

How to import existing jsp project into jdeveloper

can someone help me how to import existing jsp project into jdeveloper?
can give me step by step to import..cause i am new for jdeveloper..
thank you very much

Well there are two options - if you have a WAR file with the code in it, then you can use the file->import WAR.
Or you can use the new->Project from source code.
Note that you'll probably need to do some library settings and some directory setting after that.
Have a look at this demo for basic steps:

Can you import iMovie '06 projects to Final Cut Express 4?

The just released FCE 4 toutes ability to import iMovie '08 projects. I don't like iMovie '08 - all my projects are in '06 - can I import them the the new FCE?

I imported a small '06 project to iMovie '08. Well, the only thing that was imported were the video and still images. Not imported - music tracks, transitions, titles.

Importing iMovie HD projects into iMovie 11

Are projects made with iMovie HD compatible when imported into iMovie 11?
I have imported projects made with iMovie HD into the latest iMovie 11 and noticed soundtrack and transitions were missing. Is there anything I can do to import iMovie HD projects without missing anything (music, effects, etc) in iMovie 11? thanks

Hi
iMovie 1 to HD6 - is one Application evolving
iMovie'08 to 11 - Is a wrongly named new Application.
That's why one can't migrate projects over with full compatibility - same as to FinalCut - will not work 100% either.
And If You aim to make a DVD as result - then stay in iM HD6 as this will give absolutly best quality when exported to iDVD.
iMovie'08 - 11 discard every second line resulting in 50% of the sharpness.
Yours Bengt W

Importing iMovie 5 Projects Into Version 11?

Hi Gang!
A quick one. I have a bunch of iMovie projects made with iMovie version 5 I did on an old MacBook (PPC). Since there's no "Open Project" on the new iMovie 11 menu, is Import->iMovie HD Project the right way to do it?
Is this going to re-create the whole movie all over again? In that case should I delete the old version 5 iMovie project to save space?
Thank you,
Gabster.

Import/iMovie HD project is the way to go.
I haven't tested it except from iMovie 6 HD, the version after yours. It is possible you would have to convert first to iMovie 6 and then to iMovie 11, but it may work from iMovie HD directly. As I say, I have not tested.
You should know that it will import your video clips into an iMovie 11 Event. Any clips that you had selected for the project timeline will be placed into an iMovie 11 Project. However, it will not carry forward any special effects, music, titles, etc. I think transitions will be replaced with a cross-fade transition. This is from memory, but all this is documented in iMovie/Help.
Once you have done this, you can delete the iMovie HD project. Your event clips will now be available to all projects without having to duplicate them every time you use them.
I would keep it for a month or so until you get the hang of the new version just to be safe.

Import iMovie HD project

I have a Sony High Def SR11 camcorder. When I transfer my movie from camcorder to my desktop a icon shows up on my desktop for my hard drive for camcorder. Now in the icon hard drive what do I have to import to use when I am choosing import iMovie HD project from iMovie from my icon hard drive on desktop from camcorder to make a movie in iMove. thanks.

Have you tried FILE/IMPORT iMovie HD Project?
You should be aware of the limitations.
It will put all the clips in an Event.
It will put the timeline clips in a project.
It will not bring over any titles or music.
It will replace any transitions with cross dissolves.

Can anyone help? Imported iMovie HD projects seem screwed up

I have imported video from iMovie HD into 08, and HELP! In one case. the clips don't play, and the titles seem to have disappeared. In another the clips play, but sometimes with the wrng sound, and again the titles have gone.
(Oh, and be careful: if you import video into iMovie 08 and then erase the original copy (which you may need to do if you are not going to overfill your hard-drive), any iDVD projects that use the video content will become useless.)
All very frustrating!

Oooh, do tell more. How do you do what you are suggesting?
Navigate to your iMovie HD project in the Finder. Control-click the project icon to open the "contextual menu options." Select "Show Package Contents" to see the files/folders contained in the project package. Open the "Shared Movie" folder. Inside you should see an "iDVD" folder. Opening it you will find the "Project_filename.mov" that represents the currently saved contents of the the project's timeline to include titles, transitions, effects, etc. (This is the data that would normally be sent to iDVD if you were going to burn a DVD of your finished project.) Simply copy the file to another location or HDD so it can be imported in its entirety to iMovie '08.
NOTE: Never tried moving/removing this file from the package as I thought it might have the potential to corrupt the iMovie HD project and am in the habit of working from work/backup files in case there is ever a problem. (I.e., just don't like restarting from scratch if I can avoid it.)

Import iMovie '08 Project?

A friend started a project in iMovie '08 and is considering upgrading to Final Cut Express...
Can Final Cut Express import an iMovie '08 project? If it can, how much of the edit makes it into Final Cut? Transitions? Audio edits? Titles? etc?
Will his iMovie timeline basically be recreated in Final Cut Express and all his raw clips come over as well?
Thanks!

You can open and edit projects created with iMovie using Final Cut Express.
To open an iMovie project:
1 In Final Cut Express, choose File > Open.
2 In the dialog that appears, select the iMovie project you want to open.
The iMovie project opens in the Browser and contains the sequence and the clips as
they appeared in the iMovie Clips pane.
Important: Final Cut Express does not import iMovie sound effects, audio levels, or
transitions. All other applied effects are imported.
3 Double-click the sequence to open the iMovie project in the Timeline.
4 Render the sequence.
The imported clips are linked to the original media files captured in iMovie (found in
the iMovie project’s Media folder). These files are iMovie DV Stream files and are
encoded differently than the QuickTime files Final Cut Express captures. Keep the
following in mind:
DV Stream files do not have timecode tracks, so media imported from iMovie
project files cannot be recaptured. All imported source media must be backed up
for future reediting.
Imported iMovie DV files might not play back or print to tape in real time without
being rendered first.

Import iMovie '08 project (movie) into iMovie '06 (to make chapter markers)

I would like to make custom chapter markers in my iMovie '08 movie so that a scene selection menu is automatically created when I import the movie into iDVD. I understand that I can create such chapter markers in iMovie '06, which I have downloaded.
I am unable to import the iMovie '08 movie (project), into iMovie '06, however.
It looks like I can import iMovie '08 Events into iMovie '06, and make a new movie out of them. However, I don't really want to re-create the whole movie all over again, as it was a lot of work.
Is there some way I can get my iMovie '08 project imported into iMovie '06? Or do I have to make these custom chapter markers in GarageBand, as suggested elsewhere?
I have looked at this discussion - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8592766&#8592766 - and other ones, but can't seem to find an answer to this. It looks like others have tried to do this, but it doesn't say exactly how.
Thanks.
Barb

I ended importing my movie from iMovie into Garageband, and, with a bit of a learning curve (figuring out how to get the time instead of the beats to show in the LCD, for example), making my chapter markers and titles there. I then sent the movie to iDVD of course, and it seems to work just fine.
So I didn't end up copying the buttons, as you suggested, but thanks very much for that suggestion. Once I figured out the Garageband controls, it was easier than I thought it would be. I guess I should have tried Garageband first; it seemed like such an unlikely solution, what with being a music composition program and all.
Thanks John.
