How to transfer an Imovie project from one Mac to another?

I don't see any way to save it onto a disc or flash drive to get it to the other computer.
Thanks for the help,
Charlie

You have tocopy the entire iPhoto library intact as a single entity - projects are only logical things - entires in the iPhoto database

  • 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 an imovie project on one mac to another mac?

    I need to get an iMovie HD project from another Mac onto my machine to continue editing in iMovie HD 6 - some sound issues that need resolving. How can I transfer the project? The original project is too large to fit on a DVD (Dual layer). Will I have to connect both machines via ethernet and physically transfer it? If so, how do I do this - I need to have an exact clone of the project (all titles, separated audio etc...). Please help!

    'til vers6, an iM project is a 'solid' package, a single file you can easily transfer from one Mac to another.. establish a local network (ethernet, firewire or wlan/airport), allow one machine access to the other and simply drag'n drop project file (has a star as icon) onto other Mac ...
    I like the socalled 'Target Mode', MacOs allows: connect both machines by firewire, launch one Mac and hold the T key .. now, Mac is a firewire-drive, you can access as 'external harddrive' by other Mac .

  • Can i move an unfinished imovie project from one mac to another

    so i started a project in imovie on my parents mac and now i want to finish it off on my macbook. is there anyway I can transfer the project????

    Yup. however, seeing as how it isn't finalized, well this ought to work.
    1-connect up your macbook to your parents' mac (file sharing?)
    2-open up iMovie (on your parents' mac)
    3-click on "project library" in the upper right hand corner of your iMovie window. You should see your other hard drive there, also. drag your project to this drive. If a message comes up about "project" or "project and events", choose project and events
    4-launch iMovie (on your macbook) click on Project Library. and the one your transferred should be there. drag it to the iMovie projects list and it should work
    oh, one last thing. Both your parents' mac and your macbook should have the same version of iMovie for this to work, so I've been told

  • Can I move an ongoing imovie project from my mac to another mac?

    I would like to move my ongoing imovie project from one mac to another and then continue working with the project. Is this possible? If it is, how do I do?

    You will need an external hard drive that is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Then you will move the Project to the external hard drive from within iMovie.
    See here for instructions. http://help.apple.com/imovie/#move7d66613
    Then you will use the File/Consoldate Media command to move everything else.
    See here for instructions. http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6c7c9
    You can edit on the new Mac from the external drive, but if you prefer, you can move everything to the new Mac by using the same instructions above.

  • What is the easiest way to transfer a large imovie project from one computer to another in a different location.

    What is the easiest way to transfer an faairly large HD imovie project from one computer to another in a different location. Can you export to drop box? Will the other computer need the exact imovie version?

    OK it depends.
    If you have a finished movie, you can SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and create your final movie. Then, depending on the size of the finished movie, you can transfer via dropbox or similar service. Ninety minutes is a very long movie for iMovie, but it may work for you. I would suggest 720P to keep the size down.
    If you need to transfer the entire iMovie Project so it can be edited in iMovie at the other end, then you need to transfer the project and event assets to an external hard drive and get the hard drive to the other location.
    Directions are here. Follow the directions for 1) Moving or copying Project to external drive. Then 2) Consolidate Media.

  • How to move iMovie project from one computer to another

    I have been working on an iMovie 09 project on my desktop at home.
    Now I want to work on the same project on my computer at work.
    How can I move the project from one computer to another?   What I've already tried was to make a duplicate copy of the project and then use a thumb drive to move that to another computer.   It didn't work.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello James Snedeker,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to move a file to another disk. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    iMovie: How to Save Projects to Another Hard Disk
    To copy an iMovie project to another disk:
    1. Quit iMovie if it is open. 
    2. Locate the project folder in the Finder.
    3. Drag the project folder to the other disk.
    Note: You must move the complete project folder, intact, to the other disk in order to successfully copy the project. The project folder has the same name as the project listed in the iMovie window. This folder includes the iMovie project file, as well as a Media folder, which contains all of the clips associated with this project. If you don't copy all of these items, the project may no longer be readable in iMovie.
    Once you have copied the project, try opening it in iMovie to ensure that it copied to the other disk successfully.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • Project from one mac to another

    Hi
    How dose one take a project from one mac to another.
    On one of mac the fotage has been cut as a ruff cut and I would like to take that edited to another mac the fotage is on both mac. Is it as simple as a edl list and reconnect the fotage on the other mac.
    tips please as this is the first time I'm going to do this
    thanks for helping out going from 5.1 to 6
    trevor

    Just copy the project file to the other Mac, and open it. Reconnect if FCP asks you to.
    If you just want that single sequence, right-click the sequence in the Browser window, and choose File -> Export -> XML (version 3). Copy and import that in FCP on the other Mac. (File -> Import -> XML)

    How do I transfers iphoto pictures from one Mac to another?

    Just snaps?
    Export from one and import to the other
    Snaps and all the versions and edit history?
    Network the two machines together and use iPhoto Library Manager
    Something else? You'll need to explain in more detail.

  • How do i migrate all my imovie projects from one computer to another

    how do i migrate all my imovie projects from one computer to another

    You need to attach the computers to one another say with a firewire cable? Or use an external hard drive to copy the Events/Projects and then move the hard drive to the other computer. Are you able to do either one of these first?

  • Move stickie file from one mac to another, move stickie file from one mac to another, How do I move stickie file from one mac to another

    How do you transfer the stickie data file from one mac to another?

    I think this is the file -
    In (hard drive) > Users > yourhomefolder (the one with the house icon) > Library, look for a loose file named StickiesDatabase
    Copying that file to the same location on the new machine (and replacing the file there now) should move the notes. It is probably a good idea that both machines be running the same OS X version.

  • Moving iPhone App Project from one Mac to Another...HELP!!

    Hi GadgetAddicted & welcome to discussions...
    It sounds like you're not using the original locations that are constructed when Xcode is first installed.
    If your second install is the same as the original, moving a simple project that is intact to begin with shouldn't be a problem.
    Be sure that all the resources related to that project are local to the original project (inside the same parent folder), and then duplicate the parent folder...move that, but be sure the name of the parent folder in the second location is the same as in the original.
    Repair permissions via Disk Utility after the move.
