How to move clips between events

By mistake I imported some movies into an existign event isntead of creating a new event. Now I can't figure out how to move them to a new or even a different existing event.

Close iMovie '08. At the "Finder" level, open the "iMovie Events" folder where you want to store your "new" event and create an new, empty folder with the name you wish to call the event. When finished, re-open iMovie '08. After it scans your drives, the new event folder name show up in your "Event Library" list as an empty event. At this time select the source "Event" so you can see the clips you wish to move. Simply drag these files from the source event and drop them on the name if the event to which you wish to move them. Using this process, iMovie '08 should internally update all required pointers as needed.

  • Moving clips between events

    In the FCPX manual, it states that you can move clips between events by just clicking and dragging a clip from one event to another. It also says that doing the same thing with the option key down will copy clips to the other event.
    However, I've noticed that dragging a clip to another event just makes a copy of the clip. It's kinda annoying. Any workaround?

    I'm seeing odd behaviour with this too.
    Imported a tape which contained 3 separate days footage of different activities.
    These were imported to my Movies folder in Home directory.
    I created 2 new events and tried moving the content as per manual instructions for content on same drive but I only ended up with copies or a freeze due to a non-updating background activity (the file transfer).
    Ended up with multiple copies of the same clips in different events on the same drive, some events listing the clips several times but only a single physical clip when viewed in Finder.
    I managed to move a single clip successfully but for the life of me not sure why that worked - maybe because it was a single clip not a group?
    This is very disconcerting behaviour when you're trying to organise content.

  • How do I move clips between projects?

    Should be a simple enough task but, how do I move clips made in one project to another project?

    clip media is not conained within a project per se, rather it is referenced by a project, so as long as the media is on the hard disc then it can be referenced by as many projects as you'd like.
    you can open multiple projects simultaneously ... then to move clips between the projects you can just drag and drop between the various projects' bins, or copy and paste if you prefer.

  • AS3 How reload Movie Clip.

    hi,
    1,How reload Movie Clip...?
    2,i think when we remove a Movie Clip,children and all instance object are also removed  from stage but it still use memory of server..right..?

    1.  how'd you load the movieclip to start.  (ie, copy and paste the relevant code, ONLY.)
    2.  readying displayobjects for gc (so they're no longer using memory) requires removing from the display list, removing all listeners and nulling all references.

  • How to move files between folders within Lightroom 3?

    I would like to move a file from one folder to another within Lightroom 3 (let's not discuss why). I searched the threads but couldn't find the answer (maybe I missed it). When I click on a photo within grid view then drag and drop that file onto a different folder in the folder panel (to do the move), a little plus sign (copy) appears and a copy of the file is placed in the second folder. If I try to delete the photo from the original folder (to get the move), both copies of the file are removed. I've tried holding down all sorts of keys on the imac but cannot get the move to work. Ideally, I'd like to move a group of photos but cannot even move one. Does anyone know how to move files between folders in Lightroom 3?

    Your suggestion works. Thank you for posting it.

    Try selecting the photos, right-clicking the target folder and choosing
    "Move Selected Photos to This Folder".

  • Dragging movie clip from Event pane to Project pane

    When I drag a movie clip from Event to Project the top part of the clip is cut off. On body pictures I am losing people's heads! The movie clips play perfectly in the Event panel, so I know they were imported correctly.

    There are two things to look at.
    First, what is the aspect ratio of your project, and is it the same as your camera is shooting?
    If your camera is standard (4:3), set your project to 4:3. If your camera is wide-screen (16:9), set your project to 16:9. You can do this in FILE/PROJECT PROPERTIES.
    Second, if your project contains a mix of 16:9 and 4:3, that is OK. You just pick the aspect ratio that you prefer. Then on each clip, go into the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool and select FIT or CROP.
    FIT will letterbox (black bars). CROP will cut off the top and bottom. You can decide which you prefer.

  • Moving clips between events crashes FCPX every time...

    I'm trying to move clips from one event to another.  I'm duplicating the clip first, and then I try to drag the duplicate of the clip to another event.  Every time I do this, FCPX crashes.
    Is this the right way to move clips?  If not, how do I properly move clips from one event to another?  What could be causing FCPX to crash every time?  (I've tried different clips in different projects, and it still always crashes.)

    Hi Russ--
    Yes, I tried his suggestion to use Organize Event.  I don't think it helped.
    I have a feeling your second question is probably just as if not more relevant.  I tend to have almost everything in one project coming from the event it is associated with.  But then I have some credits or titles or something that might be in another event.  I wanted to bring them into the associated event to keep everything organized well.
    But it seems like maybe what I should do is give up on that and wait to do anything like this until the project is finished and I'm ready to move it.  I guess maybe I could then use the option to move the project and referenced events when I move the finished project?  But the other event referenced is also referenced by other projects, so I don't know if that is a good idea.
    Or maybe I should be using File> Consolidate Project Media...? But I don't know exactly what effect that would have. 
    I had just decided that it seemed like something I could do manually, and, when that didn't work, I got hung up on why it wouldn't work that way.  I wanted to know why it wouldn't work that way, and now I've kind of given up on figuring that out in favor of continuing work on the projects.

  • Movie Clips in Event Library not Recognized By Project Library

    I downloaded Photos but when working on a project in iMovie 9 my iPhoto videos were not found.  However if I revert to using iPhoto I regain my ability to move selected photos into my iMovie project so for now I will simply not use Photos.  However I still have a problem.  The movie clips in the projects in my Project Library don't find the clips in the Event Library in the iPhoto Videos folder.  I see either:  "This clip's media file is not currently available" or "Source clip is missing."  Is there some way to refresh iMovie?  Fortunately the projects shared to iTunes are still intact.

    Many who post here use Preference Manager from DIgital Rebellion to trash preferences. It's reliable and the price is right – free.
    I assume you've tried different events on different drives and the no-playback problem persists.
    And just out of curiosity, can you play clips in a project timeline or if you open the clip in its own time line? And does the skimmer skim?

  • How to move pages between documents WITHOUT elements shifting

    Hi everyone! My team members and I are so frustrated over what I think should be a really simple issue: copying/moving/dragging pages between documents and NOTHING CHANGING.
    Whenever we move pages between documents (which we have to do on a monthly basis - moving content into client branded files), at least ONE thing will shift and it usually has to do with overset text and/or text wrap. We have googled our brains out. We've tried everything on this list How-To: 10 Techniques for Copying Pages Between InDesign Documents | CreativePro.com and in the various Lynda tutorials we've looked at. We have combined our powers and still can not solve this problem so now I come to you, hoping that you can please please please help us figure out this issue before one of us throws a computer out the window.
    We have this one document. And this is what one of the problem pages looks like. Everything is on one layer. (look at the section marked 5)
    Then I move the pages (copy/paste the content; drag and drop the pages; etc.) into the destination document so we can apply branding.
    AND THIS HAPPENS.
    WHY does this text suddenly become overset?
    The preferences of both documents are IDENTICAL. In fact, Document B was originally created from Document A.
    AND FUN FYI: I took Document A and Saved As a new name. Opened it the new name. And tried moving the pages into the newly named document -- and the SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED.
    I am going to bash my head into a wall. Can someone please shed some light on this? Have you seen this before? How do we fix it??

    Doesn't saving as IDML lose some of the properties if you use any shadow or other effects?
    That's not something that I have ever heard, but since I haven't heard everything, I suppose it's possible. What you may be thinking of is that some people use idml to migrate a file to a lower version, and if that lower version lacks a feature of the version that created the file, you will either lose or modify the way that that feature worked in the original. I don't think that even in that scenario that a feature that was present in both versions would go away just because it took a trip through idml to get to an earlier version. And if idml botched shadow or effects, nobody would use it, and I don't think Adobe would have it.

    If we had just done a final Save As on the Document A before giving it to the team member who's going to be copying the content into Document B, does that not count as doing a Save As? You mean the minute it's freshly opened try doing another Save As? (P.S. Edit: Just tried this. Didn't change what happened. )
    The thing that Save-As does is remove little bits of data associated with undos that a normal Save retains. Sometimes this data can lead to problems, so any time you do it, it will help, but if you do it at stage 37 and you hand off at stage 38, you will have cleared out most all of anything that may have built up over time. I don't want to give the impression that it is required, but it certainly doesn't hurt, and is probably a good idea to Save-As periodically.

  • Move clips between computers

    I have a desktop and laptop, and wish to be able to move clips and projects between the machines as i work on them.
    Ideally i would like ot have them on my NAS but really struggling with the interface, i cannot even find a way to export anything unless its a project.
    Problem is iwhile i am away i download to my laptop, but want to work on the projects on my desktop.
    I am using version 10.0.1, which is confusing as i believe its the latest version but there is much on here about imovie 11!
    I am fairly new to mac, and completely new to imovie,

    The phrasing of your last sentence suggests you did not install FCE from a DVD. If you didn't it is highly likely that it is incorrectly installed.
    If this is so, run http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcs_remover.htm to completely remove all traces before reinstalling properly.

  • How Put Movie Clips On Touch?

    Moved my Touch to my MBP from PC. Music is fine, pics from Iphoto are fine. Apps are fine. How do I put movie clips on the Touch. On my PC I had been using Videora. Now that I am on a Mac, what do I use or what do I do?

    Found a complicated way. I still have Itunes on my PC. I put an SD card in the PC and dragged the clips from Itunes to SD card. Put the SD card in the Mac and dragged the clips into Itunes. It worked but might be more trouble than it is worth. Easier way????
