How to merge projects together in iMovie08

Hello. I want to know how I can merge my completed projects together to create one movie in iMovie08.
I tried creating a new project and then copying and pasting the different projects into that one, but it didn't work. I'm not sure what to do.
I'm trying to make a birthday gift for a very good friend, so if anyone knows how to help, I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm pretty new to mac, so please try to explain in lammens terms

welcome ktp2040 to the  iMovie boards..
'merging projects' is beyond concept of iM08 ..
your options are..
1) why not keeping the projects separate? an iDVD created videoDVD can contain up to 120min of video.. so, each project is a selectable 'item' in the DVDs menu.. I like that better than 'Ben Hur II' ..
2) re-edit a master piece.. your clips and Events are still intact.. try to remember your projects as 'blueprint' and now use ALL material in ONE project.. (re-edit is never fun.. I know)
2) 'Export with Quicktime...' each project and choose 'dv-stream' or, if harddrive is big enough, 'Apple Intermediate Codec' as Quicktime export option.. re-import the files (1 project = 1 file) and stick these few 'clips' together into one new 'director's cut' ...
you'll probably notice a slight degradation of pic quality ..

  • How to Merge Projects in PSE6?

    I have a collection of related projects that I want to merge into a single slide show. Each project now functions as a slide show. How do I merge them into a single slide show?

    Photoshop Elements does not have a function for combining slide show project files - so you need to look at possible alternatives
    1 -- Do you also have Premiere Elements 4 as part of the bundle with PSE 6 or do you only have PSE 6?
    2 -- What will you do with this slide show after you have combined the various parts/projects?

  • IMovie 9 how to merge projects

    It must be simple to add 2 minutes from one project into another project. Both are finished and subtitled.  iMovie9.0.9

    Open first project.  Select clips to be copied in the timeline.  Edit- Copy (or control-C).  Open second project.  Position skimmer in the timeline where you want to insert the clips.  Edit - paste (or Contol - V).   Simple indeed!

  • Merging Projects, how?

    Let's just say that I can forsee a time when the project list will be quite long. Is there a way to reorganize Aperture's projects? Specifically, can I merge two projects together?, into a third new project?
    Just for the record, I do not consider exporting and reimporting to be an acceptable answer.
    Thanks.

    I have not tried this yet, but honestly I think you could simply copy all the files you like from one project into another, restart Aperture, and it would realize what had happened.
    Within Aperture of course you could simply create a new project and drag all items from two (or more) other projects into the new project, and all the files would be moves in a very similar manner (it moves versions along with masters). Or of course just move everything from one project into another.
    What I do know you can do is take a project out of an Aperture library, and put it elsewhere - so you could create an Archival library to start things you no longer needed immediate access to, and if you wanted them in your working library just copy them back in. That's how I plan to keep the list of projects in Aperture at a manageable level.

  • How can I include merged projects in the printed documentation?

    I have a master project with several merged projects. This works splendid with online documentation, but when I am asked to provide a printed version, it seems I have to create separate documents for each merged project.
    Is there any setting or fix that enables print also of merged projects and topics when I create printed documentation?
    Pretty please with sugar on top :-)

    Hm - there is a contract with the customer, saying that he wants documentation both as word and pdf, and as we now aim at only writing online documentation, these tasks create extra work, as we are delivering updates each month
    But yes - two beasts, where only chm is actually needed we think.

    Hi there
    I'm a bit curious as to the reasoning behind your "persuation process for using chm-files only".
    CHM files and printed documentation are two entirely different beasts.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How to Merge 1 PDF file  to 50 PDF together not one by one. Using Acrobat 9 Windows xp.

    Hi, How to Merge 1 PDF file  to 50 PDF together not one by one. Using Acrobat 9 Windows xp.

    Depending on just what you are trying to do, you can also use DOCUMENT>Insert Pages to add multiple documents or simply drag and drop the documents into the current document (OK, I have not tried this one).

  • How can I make a photo from two merged projects available for a book that I started using one project ? They merge but the book only allows me to access the original project photos even though the merged photos can be seen in the project ?

    I have successfully merged two projects in order to add new photos for my book.  The library available to the book which has 26 completed pages accesses only the original project library.  Has anyone else had this problem ?  It is frustrating to see the photos I want in the merged project file, but to have only the original photos when I started the book available in the book library.

    That will work, but it is the long way 'round.
    As Frank noted, Book Albums are just specialized Albums.  Albums can show any Image in your Library, regardless of where the Album is located on the Library Inspector, and regardless of which Project contains the Image.  You can put your Albums anywhere (in a Folder called "Books" for example).  You can put Images from anywhere in your Library in any Album.
    The easy way 'round:
    - Make a new Book Album
    - Select Images you may want to put in your Book.  Flag them.
    - Select some more.  Flag them.
    - Go to the "Flagged" container (listed near the top of the Library Inspector), select all, and drag-and-drop them to your Book Album.
    - Repeat as needed, or just drag-and-drop directly into the Book Album.
    Note that you can remove any Image from any Album (including Books) by selecting and hitting the "{Delete}" key.  This _does not remove the Image from the Project that contains it, or from the Library.
    Note, too, that once the Images are in your Book Album, you then put them in the Book you are creating for publication.  The Book Album contains the superset of Images with which you populate the Book itself.  The Book Album also holds the Book.
    A good (imho ) introduction to the parts of Aperture can be found in this short guide I wrote.
    The User Manual is helpful.  Here is
    the chapter on making Books. 
    From that chapter, here is
    the section detailing how to create and populate a Book Album.

  • Can/ how do I link two or more "projects" - not events or clips - "projects" together in final cut pro 10?

    Can/ how do I link two or more "projects" - not events or clips - "projects" together in final cut pro 10?

    Thanks Tom -
    I created two "sequences". They are currently listed individually in the "project library". Now I want to take sequence "B" and attatch it in it's entirety to the end of sequence "A" - forming one long sequence.
    I have tried to drag sequence "B" and drop it into "A's" timeline. I have tried to creat a compound clip. I'm either missing something - or - you can create a compound "clip" or a compound "event" - but perhaps you cannot link to "projects" together.
    Does this help descibe my problem?
    Thanks again.

  • How does a .ALI file have to look like in a merged project (RH9)

    In RH5 (X5) the central .ali file of a merged project contained the enumeration of the #included .ali files of the sub-projects.
    Now how does this file have to look like in a merged RH9 project? Given that all files (or most) are XML-files now it seems that the simple enumeration by #include doesn't work any longer.
    Christoph

    The PDF file itself.
    For example, we sell eDocuments in PDF format, we have Acrobat Pro, I make a revision and that revision on my server can push a notification next time they open the eDocument that there's a update available.  Much like many software programs can do, except this is a distributed PDF document that can look for updates inside Acrobat Reader for the end user.
    Essentially we're trying to find a better way for people to get revisions of purchased PDF files as they become available.
    Thanks for your time.

  • How to merge slideshow projects

    Hi,
    Is there a way to merge two slideshow projects together in PSE8?

    Yes, my two questions are related.  My objective is to be
    able to add new photos to a slideshow directly from the Organizer, where I
    can view the images better because the Organizer has a thumbnail slider.  Currently
    , the only way to add photos I know is to click Add Media in the slide show editor, but the thumbnails are so small.  I was thinking if I could create a new slideshow with the new photos and be able to merge it with the first slideshow, then that would be a workable solution.  Again, my objective is to be able to view the photos I want to add in a nice big display.

  • I merge projects in aperture, it works fine until aperture restarts.  After aperture restarts, the projects are no longer merged, and are back the way they were.  Can anyone suugest how to make the merge permanent?

    I merge projects in aperture, it works fine until aperture restarts.  After aperture restarts, the projects are no longer merged, and are back the way they were.  Can anyone suugest how to make the merge permanent?

    I tried the first aid tasks but the issue is still there.  I have more info now though.  It's not a problem with merging.
    The problem is that new projects are being generated everytime aperture starts (with the same name, ie 01, 02.... and 01 (1), 02 (1) .....)
    When aperture start, it shows "importing".  When I click on importing, it goes into the activity box.  In the activity box, has many lines as below.  The added projcts are all empty.  It's annoying because i have many useless projects being generated.

  • Merging 2 iMovie project together

    Hi,
    I've builted an iMovie project in 2 part to fit it on DVD, because the lenght was too long to fit on one DVD.
    Now, I need to make copies of the project to VHS. So I need to merge the 2 projects together to be able to export it to VHS using my camera as a passthrought.
    What's the best way of doing so?
    Thanks

    Hi Steve - if you are saying that the movie to be cut and pasted is 2.5 hours long, then I'm not surprised that it struggled! I would be starting to feel a bit sorry for the viewers!:-)
    Ok - another way is to 'share' the movie to full Quality DV, and then import that into the other project. It WILL take some time!

  • I have music on my ipod and a new library on my new pc and i would like to merge both together.  How can i do this without erasing the one on my ipod?

    I have an Ipod with alot of music on it that i have had for a while.  The PC i used to sync it to crashed and i lost my itunes library.  I now have a new PC and have already started loading new music onto it.  I now realize that the music that is on my Ipod is not on the PC yet.  I would like to know how to merge my ipod with the old music onto the new PC with the new music.  When i pluged it in Itues said it would erase the ipod and replace it with what is now on the PC and of course i said no.  So i now have two different libraries and would like to only have one made up of both.  Any help?

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • How to merge to frequencies together and play it? I have a program that outputs two numbers everytime and those numbers in Hz. I want to merge those two different frequencies and play the sound.

    Hi there
    I have a program that reads from a table done in excel and finds two numbers from the table(they're different all the time). Those numbers are represented in Hz. What I want now is how to merge those two numbers as frequencies and output them and hear them from the speaker as audio. I also have the part of hearing them done but I can't figure out a way to have it connected so that it doesn't matter which numbers come up, it'll update it accordinaly. I appreciate any helpers.
    Thanks a lot

    Then I'm not sure what you're doing, or what your definition of "add" is. Here is the example I posted, with Signal 1 at 250 Hz and Signal 2 at 500 Hz:

  • With the new update, I can't figure out how to merge duplicate "Faces" files together, so I end up with one location per face.

    With the newest update, I can't figure out how to merge duplicate files in "Faces" (iPhoto).  I have more than one file going for a face, and use to be able to click and drag them into merging.  Can't seem to do it now.  Can anyone please help?  Thanks

    Are you talking about iPhoto or Photos? If Photos, do you mean that Photos has several files for the same person but they are labeled differently and you are trying to merge them as one? If so, then you have to rename one of the files to match the other one with the correct name.  If this is not what you mean then could you explain more clearly what you mean. To give an example if I click on Faces and Photos shows me all named faces in the top and on the bottom there are suggested faces that can be dragged onto a face in the top level to merge.  If you try to merge two face groups in the top level that are the same person but for some reason the faces are labeled differently you have to label them with the name you want to use and then they will automatically merge.
