How to transfer imovie events to finder?

I am wanting to transfer clips into a Finder folder, but they were originally uploded directly to imovie. I have no back ups of the clips and want them somewhere other than iMovie 10.0.2. How can I do this?

If they are in 10.0.2, they should be in an iMovie Library. Right click on the Library and choose "Show Package Contents". There you will see the Events in the Library. You can drag these to a different place in the Finder.

  • How to transfer imovie '09 footage to another mac?

    I downloaded video from camcorder to my imac. How can I get footage from my imac to my macbook pro without downloading from camcorder again? I tried to drop into a memory stick but could not do it. Any suggestions?

    If you have not used your footage in a project, you can find the footage in the Movies/iMovie Events you can do a simple copy in the Finder.
    Copy the Event folder and place it at the exact same place on your other Mac. (Movies/iMovie Events/Event Name. Then start iMovie on the second machine.
    If you have used the Event footage in a project, and you want to preserve your project, you must make the move within iMovie.

  • How to transfer imovie from iMac to iPad?

    I need to know how to transfer an app such as imovie from a Mac to an iPad.

    Mac OS X applications can't be used on an iOS device. If they're in an iTunes library, they're iOS applications, not Mac OS X ones, and can be transferred by syncing the device.
    As the developer needs to create and maintain the versions separately, having bought one version doesn't entitle someone to a free download of the other.

  • How to transfer iPhoto events from iPod Classic to Mac

    I have an old iPod Classic 80GB and used to sync all my iPhoto events with it (full resolution pictures and disk use enabled).
    Now my MacBook White HD crashed, and I would like to transfer all the events to a MacBook Air running Mountain Lion (v10.8.2). I could easily copy and paste the "Full Resolution" folder, which has all the pictures. However, I could not manage a way of transfering the photos metadata, i.e., I was unable to transfer the events' names along with the photos or keep them sepparated in events.
    I have read this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1930, according to which the iPhoto should identify my iPod and would be able to import the pictures. But the iPhoto (v9.4.2) can't "see" the iPod (perhaps because it's a much newer iPhoto version compared to the one running in my old Tiger MacBook White). And if it could, I'm afraid it wouldn't identify the events in which every group of pictures is split.
    How can I import the photos sepparated in iPhoto events from my iPod Classic to the Mac? Any ideas?

    Yes, iPhoto is the best choice for you.

  • How to transfer IMovie project from one user to another on MacBok Pro?

    My daughter made a movie with IMovie and I would like to add music from my files. We work as separate users and now I cannot open the project with myself as user. How can I access the movie made as another user? Even if I copy the project on my desktop, it does not open in IMovie when I am the user.

    Hello to-mii,
    Your best option would be to use an external drive to make the project available to other users on the system.

  • How to have iMovie events in one single shared folder ?

    Hi,
    I have an iMac configured with multi-user sessions (one per family member). I start with iMovie, and it seems that when working with events and projects, all data is located on personal user root folder.
    My requirements are 1) to avoid duplication of data, and 2) allow every one to work with imported events.
    I tried to locate all events & projects in the iMac shared folder, however iMovie does not recognize them anymore.
    What is the solution ?

    Good Morning tonitri,
    I understand you want to share iMovie libraries, events and projects among different users on your iMac without duplicating or copying data to each user account.
    My suggestion would be to use a large capacity external Thunderbolt, FireWire or USB drive for all of your video files so that everyone in your family has access to the libraries, imported clips, events, projects, and exported final movies that you create with iMovie.
    You could organize the information any number of ways.  One way to start is to create a library for each family member on the external drive.  
    Take a look at the following resources for iMovie:

  • How to transfer imovie '09  projects between machines?

    I was working on a project on my Air when on vacation and now can't move it back to my MacPro at home. I have tried the obvious and can get it to my desktop but the project is always greyed out when I try to import it.
    Perhaps I'm missing something simple as I haven't used i movie much (using Final Cut Express on my MacPro.

    Here is the HELP text: If this does not help you, see my next post for a workaround.
    Copying or moving a project to an external hard disk
    You can copy or move your video projects to a compatible external hard disk connected to your computer using a USB or FireWire cable.
    Moving or copying projects is useful if you want to work on a project using another computer. You can connect a hard disk containing a project to another computer that has iMovie ‘09, and then work on the project on that computer.
    Moving projects can also be useful if you want to save space on your computer’s hard disk.
    To copy or move a project to another hard disk:
    Connect a compatible external hard disk drive to your computer using a FireWire or USB 2.0 cable.
    A hard disk icon appears in the Project Library.
    NOTE:When using an external hard disk with iMovie, make sure it has been formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Select the project that you want to move or copy, and then do one of the following:
    To copy the project, drag it to the icon of the hard disk where you want to copy it, and then choose “Copy project” or “Copy project and events.”
    If you choose “Copy project,” none of the project’s video or other media is copied to the other disk. To edit the project, the computer you’re using must be connected to the hard disk that contains the media.
    If you choose “Copy project and events,” the Events are copied to the other disk.
    Either way, a copy of the Events remains in the original location, and any other projects using clips from those Events still refer to them at their original location.
    To move the project, hold down the Command key as you drag the project to the icon of the hard disk where you want to copy it, and then choose “Move project” or “Move project and events.”
    If you choose “Move project,” none of the project’s video or other media is copied to the other disk. To edit the project, the computer you’re using must be connected to the hard disk that contains the media.
    If you choose “Move project and events,” the project and the Events used in the project are moved and deleted from their original location. Any other projects using clips from those Events refer to them at their new location.
    If you’re moving a large amount of video at once, this process may take several minutes.
    You can also move or copy Events to an external hard disk.
    You can also quickly consolidate all the media used in a project onto the same disk as the project. This makes it easy to collect a complete project onto one disk that you can then edit from any computer using iMove ‘09.

  • How do I transfer iMovie 11 EVENTS to an external hard drive so that I can delete them off my macbook pro to make space

    How in the world do I transfer iMovie events from my event library into my external hard drive? There is no option for that. Even when I select "copy" an event, and then go to the external drive and want to paste it, there is no paste option.
    The only time I can transfer footage from the laptop to the backup drive is if I drag and drop an imovie PROJECT file, and along with it click on "copy projects and events"
    But most of my events are not projects, and I just want to move my event videos off the computer.
    I feel like it shouldn't be this hard and frustrating to figure out.

  • Refresh items in iMovie event?

    I removed some duplicate items in my iMovie event via finder. Is there a way to refresh the items in iMovie without having to copy them somewhere else and re-import them?

    First close iMovie
    In your iMovie Events folder (in the Finder), you should have a folder with the same name as your Event name.
    Within this folder you should see your Event clips. You will want to keep these unless you have them backed up somewhere. But you can move all the subfolders to the trash. Move the cache, thumbnails, analysis, etc folders to the trash.
    Now restart iMovie. It should see your event and regenerate the thumbnails, cache, analysis, etc.
