How do I Retrieve imovie projects from and external drive back into my mac internal drive

How do I Retrieve imovie projects from and external drive back into my mac internal drive?
Thank You

Every working drive, Internal or External, should produce an Icon on your Desktop. If you cannot see those, click on the Desktop (to get Finder) and choose Preferences off the Finder Menu. The general pane has checkboxes for "Show these items on the Desktop:"
Double click the Icon for your External Drive to open it. Open the folders on it until you find the Items you want to copy. Drag them to the Icon of your Internal Drive, or open the folder where you want them to land and drop them in there.
A drive that does not appear on the desktop after you have asked it to may be damaged. But it would be smart to do a Restart to see if it is recognized again at next Startup.

How do I burn iMovie project to DVD , Maverick.

Please someone tell me how to burn a iMovie project on IDVD? i am on Maverick.
Thanks,

If you don't have iDVD:
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.

I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?

I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

This should give you some good insight, I'd probably store them on an External HD on the old machine and then just drag and drop to the new machine.

How do I transfer imovie projects and events to new mac from external hard drive

bought a macbook pro retina. backed up 3yr old macbook pro to external hard drive. how do I transfer imovie projects and events to new mac? thanks!

Hi dalbatross,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Did you set up your new computer by creating a Time Machine backup and restoring from it?
If so, the Events and Projects that were on your internal Macintosh HD would copied to your new computer.
Here is another way to copy the events & projects to the new computer from the external drive:
iMovie Help: Work with multiple libraries
http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov3fa25bae7
Copy or move projects, events, or clips between libraries or hard disks
Connect a hard disk that contains the target library to your computer, or copy the target library to your computer.
Choose File > Open Library, and choose an option from the submenu.You can choose from recently opened libraries at the top of the submenu, locate an existing library on your computer, or create a new library.
The selected library is opened in the Libraries list, with the first event selected and its contents displayed in the browser.
In the Libraries list, select the event that contains the item you want to move or copy.
In the browser, select the item you want to move or copy.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.
Do one of the following:
To move items between events or libraries: Drag the clip or project to another event or library.
To copy items between events or libraries: Option-drag the clip or project to another event or library by first starting to drag and then holding down the Option key as you drag.
Cheers,
- Judy

How to find my iMovie projects and events since updating??????

i updated my macbook pro retina to osx mavericks then my iMovie to the newer version. I now can't find or use my pervious projects or events and I've spent days hrs on some of them. I stored and use most of my projects/events on my external hd. its hooked up. can someone who knows how this works walk me through how to get my imovie projects and events linked from my external hd to this new imovie version that for some reason cant link them like the pervious.
I hate when something work and then it gets updated and it doesnt work the same... frustrating.

okay, do a search for iMovie cache or iMovie thumbnails, and you'll probably find them. Unless you choose reject clips and then move rejected clips to the trash, then check the cache or thumbnails, your clips won't be truly gone. Just deleting them from the windows doesn't quite work. Sorry I can't remember the technical name for 'em, just going by my experience. Also, try deleting your project, and throwing that rascal in the trash, then start again. Usually it's becuz you chose copy the original rather than move it (to be on the safe side), like I did......
anyways, thanks for writin'

How do I migrate iMovie project data/pointers from iPhoto to Aperture?

This may be a rather tricky question but here is what I want to do. I have 22GB of Photo's/Video's in iPhoto that I originally used at some point in the past to create some travel home movies. I currently have about 44GB of Photo's/Vid in Aperture. I like Aperture so much that I never use iPhoto anymore.
I've started moving just the albums with pictures in iPhoto over to Aperture. (simple enough) But now I have a lot of space I need to free up.
My question is possibly broken down into 2 parts.
1) How do I move albums with photo's & video to Aperture and index them accordingly without affecting the iMovie projects that link to the original iPhoto data?
I want to keep my iMovie projects the way they are, in editable form, thus eliminating the need for iPhoto, so I can clean up 22GB.
2) In iMovie, on the left window pane, it says "iPhoto Library" & "Aperture Library", with all the old iMovie projects pointing to the iPhoto library. Would moving the rest of my iPhoto library into Aperture automatically purge iMovie editable video projects?
I've backed everything up onto an external hdd, so I would sincerely appreciate any help on this topic. It sounds complicated, but I think it should be fairly straightforward. However, I thought I'd ask the community before actually attempting to do so.
Again, appreciate your help folks. Thanks.

Thanks for your suggestions, However I tried to do a simple test on one very short iMovie project and this is what has occurred:
Setup: (iPhoto '11, iMovie '11, Aperture 3.1.1 - All up to date)
to understand what's going on, prior to what I did below this is how my projects are setup, iPhoto has an event & album tagged F1 Montreal Weekend '08 with both photo / video. (my test project for the purposes of trying to get this to work) iMovie has a project I created based on that photo video and it's saved as an iMovie project called 'F1 Montreal' with references to the iPhoto database.
Action:
First, in Aperture, I imported the whole iPhoto event above which brought over all 192 photos and about 36 videos. I then filed it in aperture under my new way of storing albums/videos and created a smart album for video within the Aperture project. Once I verified all the data is there, I then trashed the iPhoto event and album mentioned above to free up some space since it's now in Aperture. Finally, i closed both iPhoto & Aperture and loaded up iMovie.
Results:
The project 'F1 Montreal' shows up as normal, with all its edits and such after clicking edit project. However, there is a little yellow exclamation mark that says this on every slice of video:
"This clips media file is not currently available.
/users/{me}/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Masters/2008/F1 Montreal/{moviehere}.mov"
After some research on what this is and how to fix it, it seems there's no menu option to repoint the movie files to a different location, am I missing something or have I moved / merged these files the wrong way? Apparently there is some help in the iMovie help file that shows how to reconnect data, but I can't find it anywhere.
I would really appreciate any additional help on how to do this. I'm sure someone's tried doing this before, yes?
Thanks!

How to duplicate (finished) iMovie Project?

Hello,
I went on vacation with my wife and we shot some video all around town.
I've put together all of the footage and trimmed the video, tweaked the audio, etc. for OUR video archive.
The project comes in at just under an hour.
Our friends want to see footage of the trip, but nobody wants to see an hours worth of their friend's vacation...just the highlights.
So, now that I have the MASTER video for my archives...how can I duplicate the iMovie Project so that I can trim the copied project down to a "Friends & Family" version without jeopardizing the MASTER video?
I thought of just going into the Finder location for the iMovie Project, Copying and Pasting a duplicate copy that way, but don't want to chance it.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks,
Justin

Nevermind.
I was trying to duplicate the project from within the "Event Library" and also while I was in Edit mode for the project in question.
I just noticed the "Project Library" button and see that the Context menu does have a "Duplicate Project" function.
Thanks
Justin

How adjust iphoto in imovie project?

I dragged my iPhotos into the imovie project. They all last 4 seconds. How to adjust the seconds?
THANKS FOR HELPING ME OUT!
Frank

I have been struggling with imovie for months, since it was "improved." Today, I spent a few hours trying to adjust file times. No success. The turtle icon was grayed out, so that could not be used. I went to the Modify menu and the Reset Speed as suggested in imovie help. The first time I tried, there was an adjustment for clip length but no button to click to make the change final. Then imovie crashed. When I got it back up and tried to recreate what I had done earlier, the Reset Speed command simply would not work. I clicked on it several times, but no dialog window would come up. After a few hours of this foolishness, I switched on my laptop, which has an older version of imovie. Within 15 minutes, I had completed my project. So the answer? New and improved isn't all it's cracked up to be. Find an older version of imovie.

How to burn an iMovie project to a DVD

I have created a movie using iMovie version 10.0 6. I have iDVD version 7.1.2. The only "sharing" in this version of iMovie are Theater, Email, iTunes, You Tube, Facebook, Vimeo, CNN Rept, File and Image. There is no export button, no media browser and no iDVD. How can I get the movie project out of iMovie and into iDVD so I can burn it to a DVD?

iMovie 10 is not very good for making DVDs. My favorite is iMovie HD 06, or iMovie 11. With iMovie HD 06, 1 click and you are sharing with iDVD. Moreover, one click will allow you to create chapter markers that are automatically recognized by iDVD. Apple removed the ability to create chapter markers in iMovie 10. IMovie HD 06 is readily available on Amazon as part of iLife 06. It does cost more, but worth every penny.
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iLife-Mac-DVD-VERSION/dp/B0007LW22G/ref=sr_1_1?s=sof tware&ie=UTF8&qid=1425336470&sr=1-1&keywords=ilife+06
Share ➙ iDVD method works with older, (better) iMovie versions.
In iMovie 10: You want to use the Share ➙ Media Browser method and then access the movie in iDVD via the Media Browser. But you will not be able to create chapter markers.

How to recover deleted iMovie project?

I have been working on an iMovie project for hours now (the movie is a little over 5 minutes and was created yesterday with a name), and last night I finished the movie and shut down the computer. The finished iMovie file was on the iMovie application, and had been fine when I had to quit out and go back into the iMovie application several times. There were also video and music files for the video and even files in the trash bin when I shut down last night. This morning I went to open iMovie back up and it was as if the movie ever existed (there was even an intro page to the iMovie application that popped up as if I had opened iMovie for the first time). All the music, video, and trash files were gone as well. HOW DO I RECOVER THE IMOVIE??? Thanks.

try it with the time machine...also try in the trash

How can i export imovie project in divx format?

I can't find the DIVX format in the list of the export format?
Thanks for your help!
Regards

David,
may I intrude in your conversation. I am using iMovie '08, have downloaded the divx-package from DivX.com and still cannot find the option to export an iMovie project into the divx format. Do I need to have iMovie '09? Do I need to upgrade to QuickTime pro? Right now I'm exporting from iMovie to QuickTime in H.264 and convert that file in a second step into divx using the divx converter (trial version) from DivX.com. Very time consuming...
Thanks and regards,
Henning

How do i move imovie projects from my internal hard drive to external hard

When I import imovie projects or import imovies, the "save to" drop down box won't drop down to show any options other than the int hard drive (although the ext drive is recognized by finder.
I read that the ext drive (a iTB western digital mybook) is supposed to be in a certain format for this, but I dont know if this is true, or how to even check if its formatted correctly

Your drive needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled) - not FAT32. You can check by right clicking on your drive icon in the Finder and selecting GET INFO.
You can reformat if necessary by using Disk Utility, but it will erase everything on the external drive.
Let me know if you need help with Disk Utility.
Now, check your version of iMovie. This discussion group is for version 7.1.4, so if you are on Version 8.0.4, different instructions will apply.
In iMovie, click VIEW/EVENTS BY VOLUME. You external drive should be visible in the iMovie Event Library. Now you can drag and drop your Events to the icon for the external drive in the Event Library list. This must be done in iMovie (not the Finder) or you will break your projects.

I have a new flat screen monitor; how do I get iMovie project screen to fit the monitor screen ?

When I want to work on my iMovie project, the work area is to wide for the monitor. I have toggled the monitor between wide 1/2 and original screen 2/2; I still need to physically pull the picture right and left to see the work area not shown.

I don't know how to delete a question .... When I opened iTunes it prompted me to change the resolution on the monitor... that seemed to fix my " fit to screen issues ". If you are reading this Thank you for your interest in my problem.
