HT1338 Importing iMovie Project from iPad to Mac

When I export an iMovie project from my iPad 2 to iTunes everything is fine. Then I save it to my Mac it its fine. When I try to open it in iMovie '09 on my Mac it won't recognize the file. All the instructions say to use File-Import-Import from IOS. I'm using iMovie '09 but I don't have this option. Under File-Import I have three choices:
1) Movies
2) Camera Archieve
3) iMovie HD Project
I've tried to open my Projects under all three and in all cases I can see my files but they are grayed out.
My files have been saved as .iMovieMobile files.
Help.
Thanks.
Scott.

This feature only works if you have iMovie '11. iMovie '09 doesn't support it.

HT202276 import iMovie Project from iphone iOS8 into iMovie 11 with os 10.8.5 MBP failed

My import of iMovie Project from iphone to rMBP iMovie 11 failed.
I began an iMovie Project on my iPhone 6+ ios 8.1.2. I imported it through iTunes into my rMBP 10.8.5 Mountain Lion, but cannot import it into iMovie '11 v9.0.9, get error message.
Must I have Yosemite?
I am not ready to upgrade to Mavericks or Yosemite until February because of Parallels older software.
I do have Final Cut Express.v 4.0.1, could i do it there?
A possible workaround:
I do have access at home to my partner's MBP 13" with iMovie and Yosemite. But if I put the iOS iMovie Project file on her computer, and edit in in her iMovie, will I be able to transfer all the files and links of the movie back to my rMPB 15"

I've been having a similar issue but for me I have tried several things:
1. Import directly from Iphone 6. - Left it over night and it imports some but not all
2. Import from usb drive - I copied the photos off my phone to a usb drive. This imported into Photos and I was left with approx 12 that had the incorrect date. They said data taken was the date of import. I can lvie with this.
3. After no.2 worked I then connected my Iphone to import any new pics and it said that I had approx 11,000 photos to import....these are the same photos that had already been imported!!!
Can I reinstall Iphoto on my Macbook Pro (Early 2011)....??? Please?

Exporting/Importing iMovie project from one iMac to another

I have an iMac in my office and need to bring an in-progress iMovie project home to work on it over the weekend. Obviously, the iMac is not portable. : ) How do I successfully export the project from my iMac at work and import it to my iMac at home? I was able to move the "event", but the project itself is blank.
Thanks!

I'm not an "expert" but I helped someone with this before...

Transfer iMovie Project from Mac to iPad

Hoping someone could help me. I created an iMovie project on my friends Mac and want to transfer it to my iPad, however my iPad is linked to my personal make and iTunes account at home, so I was wondering if there was a way to load 'just' the 'one' iMovie Project I created on my friends Mac without having to do any sort of syncing (since my iPad is tied to my own Mac/iTunes at home)? Thank you

IMovie 10.0.5: How to import an iMovie project from an iOS device

This description (iMovie '11: Import an iMovie project from an iOS device) seems no longer accurate because:
a) the command "Send project to iTunes" is NOT available in iMovie for iOS 2.0 (791)
b) editing an imported project in the iMovie theater in iMovie 10.0.5 seems NOT possible (at least I don't know how).
So how would I import an iMovie project from an iOS device (version 2.0 791) to iMovie on Mac (10.0.5)?
Thanks in advance!

I too are having difficulty trying to import a project from iMovie iOS (iPhone) to iMovie 10.0.5 on my mac mini.
I found how to export the file to iTunes. you simply share it and the send to iTunes option is in there. But when i try to open the files after i have transferred to my documents folder, they do not open or import. The file has a .iMoiveMobile file extension, which does not seem to be correct.
Can anyone help further ?

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?
/Caro

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.

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 import an imovie project from an external drive to imovie?

My hard drive on Macbook Pro 2009 recently crashed. Luckily I backed up my imovie projects on an external. I upgraded with new hard drive and installed snow leopard. I transferred this particular imovie project from external to the 'movies' folder on the internal drive. When I launch imovie to find this particular imovie project all I see are various folders associated with this particular project not the imovie project icon (the icon where I double click and begin editing). If I try to import directly from external drive the project icons are grayed out.
Furthermore if I try to import any video (whether from external or internal drive) on imovie it says:
This file could not be moved:
(Insufficient access privileges for operation )
All movie files play on quicktime when I test them, so I'm unsure as to why I don't have access privileges.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any replies to this one? Anyone????

Is there a way to import a project from iOS iMovie 2.0 to OSX iMovie 10.0.3?

Is there a way to import a project from iOS iMovie 2.0 to OSX iMovie 10.0.3?

No you can not.
You can connect USB 3 components to you MB if you wish to use them but will only run at USB 2 specs.

I am trying out Final Cut Pro X and trying desperately to import a project from iMovie 11 (version 9.0.9). There is no export to FCPX in iMovie 11 nor is there import from iMovie in FCPX.

Can someone please help me?
I am trying out Final Cut Pro X on a 30 day trial. So far so good.
I am now trying desperately to import a project from iMovie 11 (version 9.0.9) into FCPX.
I have read multiple posts on this subject and they all recommend File/import/ from iMovie project in FCPX
However there is NO such option under File/import in FCPX - nor is there an option to export to FCPX in iMovie 11
Can anyone please enlighten me.

The current version of FCPX does not work with that version of iMovie. You need version 10.0.3, which allows you to send a project to FCP.

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.
