How to restore imovie timeline

I clicked on the X on the timeline in iMovie and it closed. Now I am unable to get it back. How do you open the timeline or get the timeline back on screen?

ok, after an hour and a half, finally figured it out. Click on all projects and double click on an existing project to open it and the timeline pops back up.

  • How to restore iMovie 10 events & projects from Time Machine?

    Here is the scenario I am facing: I completed some projects and then moved those events & projects to an external HD that subsequently died.  The question I have is how can I tap into Time Capsule's history to restore the events and projects I moved out from the internal HD and later lost because the external HD died?  All of this happened in Mac OS Mavericks, running iMovie 10, so "my stuff" lives within the "iMovie Library.imovielibrary" file whose content I should not see/modify.
    Thank you,  eugen

    Hello eugen_nw
    Open up Finder and navigate to your Movies folder where the library was stored and enter Time Machine and you should see the cascading Finder Windows and you can go back an find the file and then click Restore to bring back the file. Check out the article below and there is a section for restoring files.

  • How to restore imovie '09 projects from external HD and old HD disk image.

    I moved the imovie events to an external HD (directory iMovie events) and did a fresh install of OSX (for other reasons). Now would like to restore my iMovie projects. I have an image of my hard drive from before the reinstall. Anybody got any hints? I had a number of hours of editing in on some video stuff from my wife's family. Could redo it I guess, but if I could salvage it, it would be great.

    Did you move the Events to the external drive using iMovie? or using the FInder?
    Let's assume you used the Finder. (If you used iMovie, the fix is simpler. Post back)
    First, move the iMovie Projects from your image of your hard drive to the <your user name>/Movies/iMovie Projects folder.
    Then move the iMovie Events from the external drive to the <your user name>/Movies/iMovie Events folder.
    Then start up iMovie and all should be well.

  • How to restore original Premiere Pro CC interface and how to drag video to timeline panel?

    The trial version I downloaded does not have the video and audio tracks on the timeline panel. I tried playing around to find them but this is what happened instead. 
    May I know how to restore the original interface?
    Also, how do I drag videos to the timeline panel when it does not have any audio or video track line that I can work with, unlike the CS6 version I was using?
    Thank you.

    Hi Erica,
    To restore:
    From the menu items choose  Window > Workspace> Reset Workspace
    To add video to the Timeline:
    Select File > New > Sequence and create a sequence. Drag video to new sequence.
    or
    In the Project panel, drag your video to the New Item . This will create a sequence that best matches your clips properties.
    Best,

  • 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.

  • How to restore settings in IMovie08. How to delete Recovered Photos in Tras

    *Problem 1*: How to restore settings to I Movie 08.
    Context - Closing I Movie was invited to change from original to new settings. Accepted new setting, the result a disastrous loss of image in both photos and video of an edition. Chromatized. More info on I Movie 08 thread.
    *Problem 2*: Hundreds of photos in IPhoto Recovered Photo files in Trash. I am wanting to delete the files without having to unlock each individual photo. Possible to do? If so, how?
    P.S. No New Topic option operating on IPhoto Forum.
    Thanks for any help. First is urgent because it is a Birthday present.

    Hello,
    I'm not certain if this will help the iMovie problem...
    Restoring a video clip or photo to its original state
    Select the video frames or photo that you want to restore.
    Click the Video Adjustments or Audio Adjustments button to open the Video Adjustments or Audio Adjustments window.
    Video Adjustments button
    Audio Adjustments button
    In the Adjustments window, click “Revert to Original.”

  • How to open iMovie 10.0.7?

    Hello everybody,
    After the upgrade in version 10.0.7, I lost all my movies... how to open iMovie if it crash at the opening?

    No bootable clone backup from before the update?     OK.  I think the following files and folders would need replacing with versions dated before you downloaded iMovie 10.0.7:
    Applications/iMovie.app
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovieapp.........plist   [deleting the 10.0.7 version sufficient - will be recreated by 10.0.6
    ~/Library/iMovie
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.imovieApp
    I think this covers everything but I can't be certain.  Keep copies of the 10.0.7 versions so you can if necessary restore the status quo
    Before trying all of the above its probably worth just deleting the current  .plist file (with iMovie not running), rebooting, then trying iMovie 10.0.7 again (if you have already tried this).
    Failing that I would delete iMovie 10.0.7 and re-install - several people have reported problems with download and its just possible that something went wrong the first time.
    If this still doesn't work it may be worth systematically removing event folders from the problem library with the finder (iMovie not running) because there is probably one event that iMovie 10.0.7 'doesn't like'

    Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ?

    • free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?

    • in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
    Audio
    • from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
    The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
    Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
    • Library - at root level
    • Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
    from Luke Burns
    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

    You need more free space on your hard drive.

    After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
    Where do Your material come from
    • Camera
    • External hard disk
    • USB-memory
    And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?
    from Karsten S
    Shorter clips than 1,5 sec might be one of the culptrits
    Bengt cont.
    Set-Up might differ
    • Mac OS - most probably X.7 or more
    • iMovie version - more than iM'11 v. 9.0.4
    Action taken
    • Finalizing project - I never do as I never understood the gain to do so
    • Share as HD to iDVD - never give any gain but if it works the resulting DVD is less quality than if SD-quality was shared
    fps - set
    • I only use PAL (25fps)

  • Restore iMovie 4.0 or smash my convertor box?

    Hi,
    I have used iMovie for years. I was able (for many years) to import video tape via my TV, into imovie, using a Sony converter box.I have an older iMac G4.Lots of memory via a 2nd drive.
    For the last year I have not been able to import video tape this way. I have been too busy to figure it out, assumed it was my hook-up process on the VCR was wrong. Today my son helped me with his mac Powerbook, which was running iMovie 4.0. It was able to import just fine. My imac, which is on imovie 5.02, won't import.
    So it is not the cable hook-up, it is the 5.02 version which is the problem. I have 2 kids in college and can't afford to update my OS (10.3.9) and buy iLife 08.
    Can I somehow restore iMovie 4.0? I understand I will not be able to run my HD movies.
    Any help is greatly appreciated... I run a horse farm, and need to import some old VHS movies of my Swedish stallion... thank you

    As the error message suggests, the most likely problem is that permissions for the project folder, a file/folder it contains, or an enclosing folder are incorrect. If you have moved the project or done anything that might have affected permissions for the project folder, its contents, or a folder enclosing the project, that can cause problems for iMovie. The issue is not resolvable by modifying the iMovie project file. (It doesn't store permissions data.)
    I suggest using the Finder to re-set permissions for the project folder AND the items it contains. Then hopefully the project will open.
    I'm assuming, by the way, the project does NOT reside on locked media, such as a DVD disc. That would cause the same error message.
    Here's a thread discussing how to fix the problem in iMovie 5 and 6. This does NOT apply to you in iMovie 4 (which uses a very different project design) but it may offer some background information.

  • How to restore old prefs, etc after clean reinstall of 10.3.9?

    Due to a fiasco with Drive Genius I was forced to reformat and reinstall 10.3.9. Luckly, I was bright enough to manually copy over the entire contents of the drive to a firewire drive before I started the drive genius project.
    I was able to find directions on how to restore my users which worked perfectly.
    I've copied all the apps back. But all the apps were in the main drive rather than in users, so the prefs, registrations etc are, I assume, stored in the old library.
    Is there a way to replace the new library with the original to avoid several days work digging out the original packaging to get the serial numbers for re-entering so I can get back to work right away?

    The serial #s, etc were in fact in the original main library. I was able to restore the use of all the programs by manually replacing the missing items in each folder in the library. It took over an hour, but I got it all back and saved me from having to rummage through storage boxes for the original documentation to retrieve and re-enter all the info.
