I finalized a project and closed iMovie, now it's gone.

I finalized an iMovie project, closed iMovie, reopened the app, and now it no longer appears in my Project Library. When I Spotlight the file's name, one with an .rcproject label comes up. It's size is zero bytes and when I click on it, iMovie opens and and the project just isn't there. Any ideas on where it went or how to get it back?
Thanks!
Alex

...iMovie 11, that is.

  • Sequence Issue, where did my work go. Spent all day and closed sequence now it's gone.

    I'm new at this version of premier. I did all my edits saved the file and then closed the sequence how do I get it back?
    Help@!

    Because you say you're new - have you looked in the Project window where all your media is? There should be a file there with a different icon that is your sequence. Double click that to open it again.

    If the system just Restarted on it's own, Shut down while you were working on something then started back up all those changes, edits, you had done in that app, document, are gone.

  • Lost final cut projects and events

    so i upgraded to yosemite great .. ......then i had to upgrade my final cut x from 10 to 10.1.3 as ithe old one didnt run on yosemite, no big deal, at the time i had one project i was working on in fcp all the others we managed by event manager x and in the respective hidden folders in my movie folder .
    when i first opened fcp i opted to update the projects and events later however except for the current working project all the others are stuck in the final cut project - hidden folders and are greyed out i can not select them to update and to top it all event manager x no longer works in yosemite ? HELP
    I have tried manually moving them to all kinds of locations but no luck

    This is consistent with the upgrade to 10.1.3 from 10 -- the same issues would have surfaced in any OS that could run 10.1.3.  In the earlier version of FCPX the Projects were not in the Events folder(s) but are in 10.1.x versions.  Earlier projects if allowed to upgrade would have been in a separate folder, but with connections to them preserved.
    I don't have time this morning to look up the discussions about this, but there are several to be found.  It is an issue that would have better been confronted before the upgrade to Y.  Search the discussions for possible help from earlier experiences.

  • Finalizing a Project and burning a DVD of it in iMovie 10.0.1

    I'm using iMovie 10.0.1 and want to burn my project to a DVD. The share icon does not let me do this and I'm not sure if I need to finalize a project as I did in the prior version. What do I need to do?

    See for example: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23685959#23685959
    There are a lot of posts on this - just put iMovie 10 DVD into the search communities window

  • Any word about final cut pro and closed captioning?

    Has anyone heard any news of Final Cut Pro dealing with the issue of closed caption for their software?

    Close Captioning is done through/with DVDSP, not FCP. Not good news if you want to deliver on tape-- but great if you deliver on DVD<<</div>
    Todd,
    Not exactly true ... While they may seem to serve a similar function, Closed Captioning and Subtitling are two distinctly different things. Subtitles can be used on DVD-Video and turned on or off by the user via the remote (or defaulted to on by the author). Subtitles are also used by film makers releasing their films in foreign language countries.
    On the other hand, Closed Captioning is encoded into line 21 of an NTSC video signal. CC is received and decoded by TV sets (required on ALL TV sets sold in the U.S.) as mandated by FCC ruling several years ago and more recently required by law under provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
    Since it's inception, CC inclusion was a very expensive process and remained in the realm of specialized service companies for many years. With the recent passing of the FCC's deadline for almost ALL broadcast programing (with few exceptions) to be closed-captioned, I would think/hope that NLE vendors, like Apple, Avid and others would incorporate CC capabilities into their programs. There is one other CC software solution for Macs that I'm aware of available from: http://www.ccaption.com/

  • I had all of my video files that I work on in iMovie saved to an external hard drive exclusively to save space on my Macbook.  I had just finalized a project, went to work on another one and files couldn't be found, were not deleted how do I find them?

    I had all of my video files that I work on in iMovie saved to an external hard drive exclusively to save space on my Macbook.  The other day I had just finalized a project and went to work on another one and when I opened the project I could see what should have been there, but scrolling over the entire clip I would only see black and that the file was missing.  I did not drag anything on the hard drive to the trash or move anything.  How can I get those files?  These are videos of my kids and I am devastated and willing to try anything!

    Control click does not work - no option to find files.  I have no idea what to do.  When I look at the usage of the external drive the space is being used, but I cannot find the files.  I am going to try MacKeeper's Undelete and see if I can make any progress with it. 

  • How to move Projects and Events with iPhoto video included in iMovie '11?

    I work with a group of educators using iPads for video. One method for getting their clips into iMovie '11 is via iPhoto and then using the iPhoto Video link in iMovie to get the footage on a timeline (trying to import directly into iMovie '11, using the iPad as a "camera", has proved inconsistent, especially with footage from iStopMotion or Filmic Pro 1 and 2).
    The problem is, when it comes time to copy or move an event and project, the iPhoto clips don't come along; they are dependent on the iPhoto library, so you can't continue editing on a different machine. I tried File > Consolidate Media, but it was inactive (in my test project, all clips came from iPhoto). If I look at Reveal in Browser, it goes to the bowels of the iPhoto library. If I copy the project to another drive, it too, points to the iPhoto library (if I'm on the same machine; otherwise it doesn't see it). I also tried optimizing the footage in the hope that it would create an Event with optimized clips that I could then transfer.
    Am I missing something? It seems nuts that you can't transfer work to another machine without manually picking through the bowels of iPhoto. These days, lots of shooting is done on iPads and iPhones. Any help would be appreciated.

    My suggestion would be that in the future, they upload photos only to iphoto, and upload video clips directly to iMovie. In the early days of iOS, going through iPhoto was the only way, so it is a habit that I have had to break.
    With iOS 5 and 6, iMovie now recognizes the iPhone and the iPad as cameras.
    I agree that the Consolidate Media command should bring over iPHoto movies along with the photos. I suggest that you go to iMovie/Provide Feedback and let the developers know that you would like this feature.

  • MacBook Pro with SSD that has a limited disk space (120GB). Rendering in Project File (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects), it takes huge space and the limited disk space would not be enough for the whole editing.

    I'm using MacBook Pro with 128GB SSD that has a limited disk space. As we know, when rendering in Project File (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects), it takes huge space and the limited disk space would not be enough for the whole editing.
    My question is, Is there any method to get the rendering Projects file saved into an external hard drive which is connected with USB/ Thunderbolt/ Firewire, with huge disk space (eg. 500GB HDD).
    Now, new project created in my Mac is automatically saved in (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects) and my Mac has ran out of space to hold the files.
    Thank you.

    You have at least 3 different ways to show the project library:
    1) Go to WIndow->Show Project Library
    2) Click the button in bottom left of your window: 
    3) Hit the keyboard shortcut (Command-0)
    The project library will be shown, occupying the area where the timeline usually is.
    Your hard disks will be visible. Click the hard disk where you want the new project to reside and hit Cmd-N to create a new project.

  • If I restart my mac without finalizing a project, will I lose all of the editing I've done after start up? (iMovie'11)

    iMovie'11
    I've come to a road block here, after so much editing, I've suddenly lost music and sound within iMove. Not sure what happened. All the other finalized projects are also not making any sound (within iMove). With this current project, it is not finalized, but I cannot edit anymore because I can't hear anything. YouTube is giving me sound, and other websites as well. Just wondering if I can restart my mac without finalizing this project and see if I get sound back with iMove. I just don't want to lose all of the work I've done. Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you

    You can purge the swap files etc. from the Edit menu. Try that. Otherwise there is simply no way to salvage the situation once PS runs out of memory, virtual and real one...

    Subject : Slideshow looks bad
    Hello guys
    I have a project in my Final Cut just about done.  I want to add my slideshow as part ofthe project and burn it to DVD.  Inmy slideshow, there are some stills from the movie clips and some downloadedfrom the internet but they all look blur when playback and even worse if Iapply Ken Burn to it.   Pleasesome one can tell my how to do it right or it can’t be done because thedownload quality and stills from the clip are not suitable or slideshow.  Thank you

    Thank you Ross.
    The entire DVD containing Quick Time movies (Final CutExpress project) and slideshow was done in iPhoto.  The Final Cut project was rendered prior to export to QT,  the slideshow was sent to iDVD withoutrendering. The slideshow with most of the pictures from my still camera incombination with stills from movie clips and some downloaded from the Internet.After burning, the movie playback is perfect but the slideshow is not.  The slideshow containing 3 differentkinds of pictures; those from my still camera looks OK; the stills from themovie clips and from the Internet are not.  I don’t have much knowledge in this game, but I think NTSCwith frame size 720x480, and the downloaded picture Item Property shows most ofthem are between 400 to 500 x 300 to 600, may be both of them are not suitablefor TV screen while the stills from my still camera looks OK because they are2048x1536.  Please enlightenme.  Once again, thank you so much,I really appreciate the time you offered.

  • Final Cut Event and Final Cut Project

    I am in the process of trying to clean up one space. While doing this I noticed the I have a Final Cut Project and Final Cut event  of the same name as you can see below in the screen shot below. Is the event part of the project. The project was created prior to my upgrade to Yosemite.
    Everything was created in Final Cut Pro X

    Hi. Please take a look at this Apple support doc. – particularly the two sections, "is media duplicated…" and "Can I delete…"
    In short, removing the folders will remove clutter, but any additional space savings will be small.

  • Saved psd file as jpg by accident and closed photoshop.

    hi, I have saved my logo as a jpg file instead of psd and closed photoshop, now I do not have any layers to edit my project. Please help me if this is possible to fix.

    No, you only have what is in the JPEG. This is why you are forced to save a COPY when saving JPEG, so you still get a warning to save when you quit.

  • Problems Searching metadata in a Final Cut Project Uploaded to FCS

    We had an intern go through some footage that was on our FCS and load it into a Final Cut Pro project. He then went through and cut up the footage, made it an Independent Clip in Final Cut, and then Renamed the clip. He created multiple clips in Final Cut which all link back to the big master clip which is in Final Cut Server.
    I then just uploaded the Final Cut Project which then created elements for all of the independent clips that were made in Final Cut. Upon closer inspection of the Final Cut Project in FCS, I noticed that in the elements of that project, it created all of the clips that we made independent. Great....almost. Two problems arose. All of the proxy files for those elements all have the same thumbnail based on the master clip, but do have the In/Out points when looking at the proxy file. Can you get the proxy file just to encode the In/Out points and make appropriate thumbnails?
    Problem 2:
    With these elements, when I perform a search with the exact filename of the element in the Final Cut project, it will only show me the Final Cut project. I have to open up that Final Cut project and then look into the Elements Folder of that project. Is there a way to search elements of a Final Cut project where the elements are reference files or metadata of a master clip within Final Cut Server?
    If this doesn't make sense, I'll try and re-explain.

    Yes, I did, but it doesn't show the element only the project and the master clip. In order to actually find it, I have to double-click the found Final Cut Project and then look into the elements tab. I'm trying now to figure out a way to make a custom lookup in the advanced search parameters that would allow me to only search Elements of a Final Cut Pro Project.
