I want to create new imovie project without having to upload iphoto video thumbnails.

I just loaded 4 iphoto libraries onto a new external hard drive. When I open up iMovie to try to begin creation of a new project, I can't start my project until "video thumbnails" are uploaded. I am getting a message on screen that says "Time Remaining is 100 hours."
How can I bypass this so that I can just continue to work on my new project?

If it's a drive that you've previously used with a PC, just double-check the format - click the drive once on the desktop to highlight it, and click cmd-i (the command key and the i key together) to see the Info window. That will tell you, under Format, how it's formatted.
If it's "NTFS", that's the current Windows format. You can read but not write to it with a Mac. If you want full read/write access, you should look into Paragon NTFS, which allows you to do both. Note that some features of te Mac (Time Machine, for example) will only work with Mac-formatted drives.

  • New imovie project - no auto save, losing work.

    new user here....this is my scenario: I create a new imovie project and add in all the video clips, photos, transitions, titles, music, etc. It is looking good but it is getting late so I will finish this the project tomorrow. There is no save function so I just shut down the computer. Next day I open my project and the auto save function has not worked. A few video clips have been saved but 90% of my work has just disappeared. What have I done wrong?
    Supporting info - brand new IMAC9,1 with Snow Leopard, 1 terrabyte memory + 2 terrabyte timecapsule.

    normally it should save.
    Sometimes if you don't give the project a name it is easy to start another new project with the same default name - "new project"
    Sometimes I have noticed that if I have a title edit screen open and do not click done, it will not save.
    Also, did you shut down iMovie before shutting down your computer? It should not matter but it couldn't hurt.
    The Project File is a text file and it is updated after every edit.
    Some people have reported that when they use two many of the fancy titles (Quartz Extreme titles) that their project gets corrupted and wont save. I haven't experienced this myself, because I keep my titles pretty simple.
    Maybe others will have ideas as well.

  • I want to import one imovie project into another one.  In other words, I have created a short sequence in iMovie 11 on one computer, and I want to import it into a project that I am working on, on another computer.

    I want to import one imovie project into another one.  In other words, I have created a short sequence in iMovie 11 on one computer, and I want to import it into a project that I am working on, on another computer.  I copied the project files onto a hard drive, and then connected that drive to the Mac that my main project is on, but when I select "import" the files are faint gray -meaning I can't select them.  Help!  I want to transfer a sequence of shots from one iMovie 11 project on one computer, into another iMovie 11 project on another computer.

    Tell me it ain't so!
    I wish I could.  The research you've done is correct.
    Wether you copy and paste or rebuild the Project from the other computer, you're going to need to get your Evnets copied from the other computer.
    The Prjoject files only contain pointer back to the original media.

  • NetBeans - Cannot create new Java project

    Hello all,
    I've been trying to create new Java projects in NetBeans 6 for about a week now and it just won't work. First, I receive a nullPointerException when I start the software. Then, I come to my home screen, head to File ->New Project. I'm able to specify the Java Project type. When I want to specfiy the Name and Location of the file, I get "Project Folder exists and is not empty", but the folder never existed at all. It's as if the prompt creates the folder then verifies the folder exists and repeats that error message over and over; even if I change the file name. I've reinstalled the software and the JDK many times but, I' still can't seem to get working.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    -Pengu

    Delete your old downloads of your JDK and NetBeans, then Download a new copy of the JDK and NetBeans, uninstall what you have go and delete all of the folders that were involved in the original install and then reboot.
    Once you have done this, then reinstall from your freshly downloaded copies.
    Windows does not yield it's ruined programs very easily--you just have to remove every last bit of it and start again. If the above does not work, then it may be time to go int and edit the registry to remove all reference to the JDK and NetBeans.

  • Can CS5.5 Create New Trimmed Project?

    In Adobe Premiere Pro versions prior, media files such as Canon D-SLR Quicktime and P2 MXF could neither be trimmed nor  renamed using the "Create New Trimmed Project" feature in the Project Manager.  Has any expanded compatibility been added to this feature in version CS5.5?

    What I have found as a painful workaround is to go through your timeline and select each clip individually and go to clip/make subclip.  If you don't touch anything, the new subclip will be highlighted in the project pane and you can right click the same file in the timeline and click replace with clip/from bin. (Told you it was painful)  Then when you use Project Manager, it will use the subclips instead of the source files and will create a new, trimmed project and the project file size will be ridiculously reduced. (The project I'm working on was reduced from 259 gigs to 17)  Of course, if you're familiar with Project Manager and how it is supposed to behave and did behave back in the days of DV, you lose all control over certain aspects as you are committing to your edit. I use a macro.  I select the clip I want to process and then I activate my macro and it goes through and does all the clicking for me.  I'm bothered that it hasn't been fixed in CS6.

  • Want to create new protection group for 2 members which are already under another protection group.

    Want to create new protection group for 2 members which are already under another protection group. I have 12 servers under xyz protection group, want to move 2 members server to new protection group. How it is possible without loosing current backups.

    Hi,
    It all depends if the data source was originally co-located on the same replica shared with other data sources. If not then DPM will simple re-use the same replica and pick up where it left off.  If it was co-located, then the old replica and RP
    volume is shared and the RP's will expire as new ones are made on the new replica and RP volume created when it's re-protected.

  • I asked this question before but I can't find it now. Anyway, I'm trying to import a DVD video that was made on a MAC and use it on a new iMovie project.

    I asked this question before but I can't find it now. Anyway, I'm trying to import a DVD video that was made on a MAC and use it on a new iMovie project.
    How do I do the importing.

    If the video is already on a DVD:
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • TS4268 i've backup in itunes with another phone number activation , now i want active with new phone number without losing old backups , what can i do for this problem ?? :(

    i've backup in itunes with another phone number activation , now i want active with new phone number without losing old backups , what can i do for this problem ??

    If I get this right, you've ported your phone number to AT&T with the purchase of the iPhone. That is considered opening your own account under your name. Your brother's account is not ported to AT&T unless you used his SS# instead of yours. Your brother still has his account under Verizon Wireless, all you did was use your cell phone number to when you opened your own AT&T account.
    If you don't want to use your Verizon Wireless phone #, my suggestion is to call AT&T customer service and explain that you want a new phone number instead of the ported Verizon number.

  • Adobe Premiere CS6 'Create new Trimmed Project' Crash with .MXF files

    Yesterday I started to back up all our students work, and found that the "Create New Trimmed Project" no longer works in CS6 with .MFX files.
    Adobe Premiere CS6.0.3,  crashes when I try to "Create New Trimmed Project" under "Project Manager"
    This only happens when there are .MXF files in the Sequence.
    As we use Panasonic P2 cameras at this university, this is a problem, as this is the format that they shoot in.
    As a test I have made a Project with only one .MXF file placed on the sequence, and it crashes.
    This happens on my Macs and Windows machines with Adobe Premiere CS6 .
    Adobe Premiere CS5.5 works fine, and does not crash.
    Unfortunately I cant save a CS6 project as a CS5.5
    If you don't have any .MXF files to test this,
    You can make your own .MXF files by exporting any video file as "MXF OP1a" or "P2 Movie" Format, (the Preset setting is irrelevant - any preset will cause it)
    P.S.
    Using "Collect files and Copy to new Location" under "Project Manager" works fine, but does not reduce project size as much.

    I also discovered this behavior last summer.  Unfortunately the best (lame) answer I could find was that "Some formats, such as Long GOP based media files, cannot trim media, or add handles."  Source:  http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b1038518aef7-7c72a .html
    That's not very specific, but in my case at least (and it sounds like in your case, too) .MXF may be another file type that cannot be trimmed.  If I remember correctly, the answers I got from others was that they were able to export fine.  My machine (and maybe yours) has an issue that nobody else seems to have encountered.  So none of the prescribed remedies allowed me to move forward in this regard.
    After much searching, asking and several suggestions from various Premiere communities, I gave up and moved on. 
    Use Remove Unused and then Collect Files and Copy to New Location.  At least that can help you if you have a lot of clips.  In my case, it didn't help much, because my very short clips were edited from very long takes, so as Premiere sees it, not much was "unused".
    Be aware that "Project Manager does not copy and collect After Effects compositions that are dynamically linked to an Adobe Premiere Pro project. Project Manager does save the Dynamic Link clip in the trimmed project as an offline clip, however."
    Wish I could offer you more.
