IMovie 09 deleting a project? Help please

I am running iMovie 09 and am new to it. I created a movie using photos and videos. I first put it onto my flash drive when it was finished. I am planning on burning it to DVD's for my friends, so I have the file in a folder on my desktop. However, now when I open iMovie, my project is completely gone. And it still shows up in the folder and when I search my computer, but it will not let me open it or drag it back into iMovie. I'm terrified of putting my flash drive back in because it's the only thing I have of it right now (and the one DVD I tested putting it on).
Can anyone please help me get my movie back?
Thank you so much, it is greatly appreciated.
A new and confused Mac user.

In the Finder, go to Movies/iMovie Projects. Do you see your project there?
Your project file has the extension .rcproject.
If not, move it back there and restart iMovie.

  • After mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please

    after mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please are there any settings i need to alter as it seems the wav or mp3 file i ceated is being converted to a data file somewhere between the folder and disc drive

    Same thing for a movie file.. If you want to play back the movie via a DVD and a DVD player you must create a Movie DVD  and not just burn files to a data DVD... as Data DVDs are just storage devices for files and therefore will only work with computers...
    Movie DVDs are special formats that include things like menus and special file formats.. so they can playback via a DVD Player...
    You will need a 3rd party DVD Burning app like Toast which is what i actually use.... or the more popular DVD Creator app...to create and then burn a Movie DVD that will playback on a DVD Player....

  • Cannot export iMovie project - Help please

    When I try to share the project I've worked on for over a week, I get the following ...
    However, that event is in the iMovie library.
    The only thing that happened differently this time is that I mistakenly deleted the event files from the event library before I exported the project to save disk space. But once I found out I needed the event clips in iMovie in order to share the project, I found out the clips are still in User > Movies > iMovie Events > British Isles Cruise 2013, so I imported them back into my Event Library in iMovie. So the Event and all the clips are back in iMovie, but I'm still getting the above error, as if iMovie doesn't realize the event is still there, and I cannot share or do anything with my project other than view it in iMovie.
    Any help on this would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    you haven't renamed any files/folders?
    just dragged them out of the Events folder, and back, right?
    try this …
    quit iMovie
    goto Library/Preferences and trash com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
    launch iMovie again ....
                     How do I trash the iMovie Preferences File? and Why?

  • Can't open my project, help please...

    I've spent hours and hours on my wedding video project... When I was working on it, iMove suddenly crashed and then I can't open the project any more...
    I can't open, edit, duplicate and export the project. It allows me to play it in full screen but the content is incomplete.
    My other two projects are fine.
    I tried to reinstall iMovie (delete the program and com.apple.pkg.iMovieXXXX files, and reinstall and update) but it didn't help...
    I tried to repair the disk permissions but it didn't help...
    Could anyone please save me and my project..
    I was using Lion and iMovie 11 with the latest updates. My labtop is MBP 15'' mid-2010.
    Thanks!

    Anyone could help me please ???

  • Very simple java project (help please)

    Hello. For a project I have to somehow use MouseListener to make something. My idea was to have a rectangle in which a circle (hockey puck) follows the user's mouse and whenever the user places the circle into a certain area the count goes up by one (like a game of hockey). If someone could give me some idea as to where I should start it would be greatly appreciated.
    My thanks

    This is alwyas [a good place to start|http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/] when you don't have a clue what's going on, and here if you need specifics on MouseListener. And to get movement, then you'll probably want to look here.
    Once you have some code and specific questions, literally almost everyone on here will be willing to help you further along the way. When you post code, please use code tags.

  • Deleting app's help please

    Hi..
    I have downloaded what's app on my bbq10, however i would like to remove this as i do not like it. No idea how to tho?
    Also can i delet twitter and linkin apps....
    sorry for sounding so simple but this phone has me running in circles already.
    I am sure it is simple
    Thanks in advance all

    To delete an app, one of two methods,...
    Touch and hold an icon for about three seconds and it will begin to pulsate, and you'll see the small trashcan icon at the top right of the icon. Touch that trashcan icon and confirm the deletion.
    Or, open your BlackBerryWorld > MyWorld > My Apps and Games > Downloaded. In that list, you can touch and hold an entry for an app and then touch the lower right trashcan icon.
    For Twitter and LinkedIn, I would not delete them as they are "core apps" part of the native OS and once deleted the OS will/may begin to bug you that you have an upgrade. Instead, you want to create folder, name it something like 'Junk', place the unwanted icons in that folder then move that Junk folder to your last or right most icon panel. If you need help with creating a folder, let me know.

  • My newly purchased songs from itunes skip on my imovie.... Help please!

    The music I have on itunes from my ipod play just fine, but when I purchase a new song from itunes and try to add it, the playback skips (video also). I'm trying to make a small video from wedding photos. Everything is finished except the audio. I would use other music except I don't have wedding appropriate songs... Please help if you can. Clearly I don't know what I'm doing.

    Hi Ballfanjt and welcome!
    It's all to do with DRM copy protection. In order for your audio from iTunes to work correctly in iMovie, you need to burn the track/s to a CD, then re-import from that CD into iTunes, save as an AIFF file, then they will import perfectly into iMovie.

  • My friend recommended an app and I downloaded it but when I did, a copy popped up as well. The installation progress bar is full but the app won't open and I can't delete it. Help please

    Please help

    Sydneybling it does sound like your security software is interfering with the process of installing and utilizing your Adobe Creative applications.  I would recommend that you try temporarily disabling your security software and utilizing the directions listed at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html to install InDesign CC.

  • Research Project - help please

    i am making a report on the percentage of 1900mhz US capable (Tri band or better)hsndsets sold on the European market.
    Would anybody be able to help me find the answers??
    I assume that for e.g lets say that Nokia produces 1,000,000 handsets for sale in Europe per year, and that only a percentage of those are 1900Mhz capable (tri band, quad band etc). i believe that teh majority of handsets sold in Europe are Dual band only (900 + 1800 Mhz) but i have no proof of this, it is only an assumption.
    i need to know, what is the percentage of 1900 capable phones to non 1900 capable phones.
    thanks for helping me get the answers, or pointing me in the right direction.
    Stuart Kull

    I think more and more phones sold in Europe are at least tri-band.
    What you could do is take a look at the device specifications of Nokia handsets available here:
    http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/matrix_all_1.ht​ml
    I think you'll find that all the Nseries and Eseries devices are in fact quad band 800/900/1800/1900. Many of the 5xxx and above series are as well. I think only the entry-level 1xxx and 2xxx series phones are bi-band.

    Sorry, but I don't understand what has happened. Photoshop Elements is a program installed on your computer. What is missing? Can you open the program? What happens?

  • Im unable to remove songs by swiping left from right or deleting the usage. help please?

    I updated my phone to ios7 a while back and manage to fix majority/most of the bugs. Now the music is messed up. i've already tried the swipe thing and deleting the usage and nothing has work. Some of the songs wont come off my phone and i dont know how else i could remove it. Help?

    my phone started playing a song randomly while it was tucked away in my bag and I was in a crowded elevator. It was very embarrassing.
    Yes, that Barry Manilow elevator music is a bit embarrassing (sorry, just couldn't resist that).
