IMovie 10.0.2 and OS X10.9.2 Maverick

It does not want to "share" a movie I made, not to YouTube, not to file. It seems that this version of iMovie does not collaborate with the OS X Maverick.
When will Apple have a fix for this?
A tech. on the phone told me to reinstall the old iMovie 9.0.9 because it works!
But what good was it to upgrade to the new iMovie?

Hi
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.
Free solutions:
Burn - a free alternative from Internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
Gives a fairly good resulting Video-DVD
Free DVD Creator.app - free from Apple Store
(very simple - Quality ?? not sure - looked problematic reg. Interlacing)

I have created several short (3-5 minute) movies using iMovie 10.0.6 and Yosemite. I want to create one movie that includes these short movies that I can then either burn to a DVD or show in iMovie's Theater. How can I do it?

I have created several short (3-5 minute) movies using iMovie 10.0.6 and Yosemite. I want to combine those short movies into one movie that I can loop and burn on a DVD or show in iMovie Theater. How can I do it? The movies are now shared to iTunes.

Another easy way to fix this.
What I've noticed is that upon upgrading your projects and events to work with iMovie 10, initially it will work... Until you quit iMovie and reopen it again. Any events with hashtags will show up without the star next to the iMovie event. SO, if you happen to read this, after upgrading to iMovie 10 from its predecessor, immediately change the event name to NOT include a hashtag/pound symbol.
Otherwise, if it's too late, you can either do the above or this...
Hold down option and click on iMovie. This will prompt you Locate, Create a New Library, Cancel this window, or Choose a different library. What you want to do is create a new library, call it whatever you want to, this will only be temporary. After the program opens, it should be a blank Library. Then go to File > Open Library > iMovie Library (your original library) and proceed to change the name of your events. Quit the program. Go into your Movies folder in Finder, delete the library you temporarily created, and your back in business.

I am trying to send an iMovie project to iDVD and I keep getting the following error msg. "Unable to prepare subject for publishing: The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-43)"

Check out this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1421870
It may mean you either your Event or your Project. Have you moved any of the files in the Finder by any chance? That error may come up if you moved anything outside of iMovie. Do you get an error message when you choose Share>Export to iMovie (choose medium size) and save it to the Desktop? If you can export it to the desktop, you can pull that file into iDVD separately and still make it work.

I was working on a project in iMovie (10.0.1) and iMovie just crashed. when i reopened it the project i was working on disappeared. in my list of projects it still says i have 3 projects but its only showing me 2. is there any way i can recover my project

iMovie on your Mac has nothing to do with iCloud storage. Download and use Find Any File to search for your iMovie project. FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, packages and system folders. If there a file with your file name on it anywhere on the hard drive FAF will find it.
Do you have Time Machine enabled backing up to an external HD? This situation is exactly what TM is good at. It makes hourly backups so you can go back to find and restore the missing file. All HDs crash at some time or another and having a good backup strategy is the only protection against that.

IMovie '11 hogs CPU and freezes

I've been importing a few video files in iMovie (from local hard disk, not HD) and it has been taking over 1hr each time... for about 1hr movies.
During each, activity monitor will show that iMovie is taking about 150% of CPU usage... never less than 95%, and I even saw a peak at over 200% (how can something go over 100% is already beyong me, mathematically... but 200%?!)
I should be glad that iMovie is using all the power possible, but I don't get the results. It's incredibly slow, and everything else is freezing. I have trouble using the computer. Even typing in an email or switching between screens is slow... when it happens. I may not be using the most powerful machine there is, but I doubt it's normal behavior.
I have a 3.2GHz processor and 4G of RAM.
I tried closing all other programs (even though activity monitor showed they were not using much CPU), but it didn't change anything.
I noticed today that this huge CPU usage and the worst freeze happens for over 40min while the progression bar of the import barely changed and stuck at about 2-3%... and then the iMovie icon starts jumping and from that point the computer goes back to acting normal and the import finishes in less than 5min.
It's like there is a bug with the process at the beginning of the import... not the import process itself.
Anyone has any idea of what's happening?
Thanks
(When I export small projects -just movie cuts with no effects- it uses a lot of CPU too and slows down the whole computer... but not in as bad a way, and the process clearly goes on normally... and working in iMovie to create projects is usually OK.)

That is utter nonsense about 200% explanation! Tools such as TOP in the CLI are unix based tools, and were originally designed for computers that had 1 CPU. The world has evolved A LOT since 1970s. Unfortunately a lot of the geeks who grew up with that technology are as thick headed as religious nuts who opressed women in Saudi Arabia and won't even let them drive! They insist that things should function ONLY THEIR WAY and anything else is nonsense. It is absolutely ridiculous for top to report more than 100% for the CPU utilization even on multi-core machines! When it says 200% CPU Utilization it means that the operating system is over utilizing the CPU, which is impossible, mathematicaly and realistically. The solution is really simple. A few code changes to TOP and it can report 100% for any number of cores or CPUs. But the unix zealots that are responsible for coding things don't want to make these changes, they are stuck in 1970s and refuse to move. We need coders who are not afraid to step up and make the real changes needed.
Try this. Open up iMovie, close any open projects, unhighlight any events that might be highlighted so no clips are shown in the clip viewer nor the preview box. Technically speaking iMovie is doing nothing and shouldn't take up more than 1% of the CPU. Now if you run TOP, it will show iMovie using around 90% of the CPU. How the heck is that good design? It uses 100% of the CPU when it's doing nothing!!! Imagine if iTunes used 100% CPU when it was paused?!?!!? But iTunes is good, it uses only 1% of the CPU while in pause (which I think is still far too much CPU usage since it's doing absolutely nothing, too!).. iMovie is terribly programmed and has serious user interface issues. Like for example. The buttons in the middle for making a clip a favourite, or a star, etc... those buttons are huge and are ALWAYS there.. Even when a clip is not highlighted and when you are editing the project timeline and the buttons are not needed. So much iMovie 11 functionality is ********!! I am shocked that a company as creative as Apple can put out such a bad product!!! But it's the best proudct of it's kind, so we should be thankful!
Here look at this screenshot.. iMovie taking up 100% of the CPU while doing absolutely nothing!

I just created a movie in iMovie 10.0.5 and shared it to iTunes but I cannot copy to my iPod touch

I just created a movie in iMovie 10.0.5 and shared it to iTunes but I cannot copy to my iPod touch. It says the movie was not copied because it cannot be played on this iPod. My iPod was bought in 2009 and has the latest iOS 4.2.1. I also tried sharing in all the different resolutions but none of them worked.
What should I do?

iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
iOS: Unable to import photos to computer
You have a 2G iPod and the can play/sync only SD videos.
If necessary use a converter app to convert to compatible format. I use the free HandBrake

IMovie v6.0.3 and iMovie 08 install at the same time?

Can I have 2 version of iMovie installed at the same time? I want to view and maybe use the new version (in iLive08), but everything I have heard about it is not good. I'd like the option to keep the version 6.0.3.
Thanks

I don't have iLife 08 but AFAIK unlike earlier versions it doesn't overwrite iMovie 1-6.
And besides, if you copied & renamed earlier versions before installing iMovie 1-6, the old version co-existed very nicely with the new version. For example: you want to keep iMovie 4 before installing iMovie 5-6: duplicate iMovie, rename the duplicate as iMovie 4.0.1, install iMovie 5-6 -> voila: you have iMovie 4.0.1 and iMovie HD (5-6).
Some people have almost all iMovie versions in their Applications folder for testing purposes

I've already paid 5 dollars to buy iMovie on my iPhone, and now I've got my macbook, I've synced my accounts and stuff, and it still wants me to pay 15 dollars to buy the app again? isn't there a way for me to get the app without paying for it again?

Ive already payed for iMovie on my phone, and it wants me to pay again for it on my macbook. Is there a way for me to get it without paying again?

The iOS and Mac versions of iMovie are in effect separate programs (coded completely differently for the two operating systems) and have to be purchased separately.

I can import my first clip to the video library, but not the second clip. I tried dragging-dropping and using the "E" key, but only the first clip will show up in the library. I use IMovie 9.0.9 and OSX 10.8.5. with no problems until yesterday.

I can drag my first clip from the New Event window into the Project Library, but not the second. I can highlight the second clip in the New Event window, but it won't "drag". The "E" key works for the first clip, but not the second.I've been using IMovie daily and the problem just appeared. No upgrades to the computer and no new software installed. IMovie 9.0.9 and OSX 10.8.5

Thanks victoryhat. I learned some new things from this very clear tutorial. But it didn't answer my question about why the titles don't stay with the video when I export it.
He did mention something that might be a clue however. When he talked about importing a title he created as an image, he noted that he was careful to make the image the same size as the video he was adding it to: 1280 x 720. Since I took the video with an iPhone in the vertical position, my video image isn't the same size and orientation as the titles.
Maybe there is a way I should be setting the screen for this size??? I'll go back and play around. Meanwhile thanks for alerting me to Gary Rosenzweig's MacMost tutorials. Very clear. I'll look for more.

I have imovie 10.0.4 and FCPX 10.1.2

I have imovie 10.0.4 and FCPX 10.1.2 and I cannot get iMovie project sent to FCPX. I see a very brief progress bar, but then nothing and no transfer to FCPX.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
David

Any iTunes music in it? Some iMovie content just does not transfer. You really need a basic project to transfer.

Can now with imovie 1.2.2 and iOS5 edit 1080p high definition videos from DSLR cameras like the EOS 5D Mark II on ipad 2?

Can now with imovie 1.2.2 and iOS5 edit 1080p high definition video from DSLR cameras like the EOS 5D Mark II on ipad 2?.
That would be great, you would open the door to professional video editing ipad 2. Is there an accepted camera list?.

There does not appear to be a list yet.

DI imported an mpeg4 video into iMovie 10.0.5 and the Precision Editor is grayed out and I can't edit. Why??

I imported an mpeg34 video into iMovie 10.0.5 and I am unable to edit it. Precision Editor and Clip Trimmer are grayed out. Any idea why this is happening?

Did you get any joy with answering this?
My first thought was that maybe when you imported you chose to leave the files in place rather than copy then to the iMovie library..but I can't see where that option is now.
I too have created a short movie from load f clips..but can't export or share either..the 'Share 'menu is empty..you go to it and no sub menu appears.

I can see iMovie in my dock and at the top of the computer but not on the screen. What am I doing wrong?

Uncheck the box marked Translucent menu bar in the Desktop & Screen Saver preference pane. If that doesn't work, see below.
My toolbar at the top of my screen is suddenly blackened

I created a iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DVD RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

I created an iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DV+RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

Probably because they don't accept that media.
Try using Verbatim DVD+DL (if your project exceeds 2 hours) or Verbatim DVD-R if it doesn't.

Is it possible that my iMovie could be corrupted and needs a re-install?

I'm still struggling with multiple problems/issues. I recently imported video files that apparently +iMovie did not like!+ They imported with no apparant problem. Upon play back though, my entire computer froze.
I'm now having new problems, in that, If I try to import more than 3 clips at a time, my computer freezes up... (iMovie compatible clips, not the ones that made it crash).
As a test, I re-installed iMovie on another drive, and was able to successfully import the same group of clips (about 15 at once) that had caused the computer to freeze, without the computer freezing. Unfortunately though, the clips when viewed were jerky. This could be a result of this iMovie version being 7.1.1, not the most current version, which is 7.1.4.
This is due to an entirely different problem, in that, even though I have the most current version of Quick Time 7.5 (149.5), I wasn't able to down load the iMovie update for 7.1.2 or 7.1.4, because the download was stopped accompanied with a message stating that I needed Quick Time 7.5 to proceed, which as I stated, I already do have.
Any advice or suggestions?
I'm just wondering if I somehow damaged the iMovie app. when I imported those unfriendly clips?

If you sent the iPhone to Apple to be refurbished, then the iPhone you received back is very likely NOT the phone you sent. Check the paperwork that came with the refurbished unit.
