IMovie 11 and 60FPS projects

I have a GoPro HERO 3 and am recording in-car video of my racecar at 1080p, 60fps however, I can only get my iMovie projects in 30FPS. Is there any way at all I can get them in 60fps?

No(t yet).
iM11 does not support 60fps, it's stucked with the ol' standards of AVCHD v1, which is max 30fps only.

Best Practices for sharing media with iMovie and FCPX

So I've a large iMovie Events directory, and would like to use that media with both iMovie and FCPX projects.
I'd rather not duplicate the media, so would prefer to import as references into FCPX.
The dilemma is that I see that it's possible to modify or move media from within the iMovie application, and therefore break the reference to that media with FCPX.
I only see two options: (1) Never Ever modify the location/name of media in the iMovie Events file (even from within the iMovie app) since I would break an FCPX link if that media is referenced, or (2) always import (copy) the iMovie events into the FCPX Event Library making an independent original so that I can confidently operate on those media files in either application.
I'd surely rather not have to do (2 )(e.g. doubling my storage demands) to gain the flexibility of using either application to edit the video, but really don't want to live with the restrictions of (1).
Thoughts / Solutions? What might you consider as options or best practices?

Unless there is some other reason, users should own the right to share their mailboxes - it shouldn't be something that demands administrator management (if only so that the administrators aren't swamped by user requests for sharing their mailboxes).
For true shared mailboxes, when the mailbox is created, full access is granted by an administrator.

Imovie '09 crashes on my 60FPS project. Why?

- 2011 Macbook Pro, Unibody
- Mac OSX 10.6.8.
Hi guys,
For the first time I switched my Canon T3I to 60FPS/720P in order to record a new parkour video largely using slow motion. I planned to slow the footage down to a smooth 30FPS in Imovie '09.
Fast forward three months. I've taken plenty of 60FPS footage and am two minutes into my video. All of a sudden Imovie is actually very strangely. It takes a very long time to load when I open the program, sometimes as long as 5 minutes. And now, it crashes and freezes when I try to select my 60FPS project no matter what I do. Half the time it won't load the Project Editor, and the few times it does, it will not play the video. I can hear audio, but the Preview screen on the right is either blank or ahopeless mess.
It's odd because I've been using Imovie 09 for years and have not had a problem. I've used it with HD footage but never 60FPS. I edited the project for months, optimized and slowed down nearly two minutes of footage, and haven't had a problem. But now Imovie won't work no matter what I do. I've checked software update, made sure no other programs or opened, restarted, no good.
Does anyone know why Imovie is spazzing and how I can fix it? Thank you.
EDIT: Just so it's clear, I don't know for certain if 60FPS is the problem. Imovie '09 seems to be having problems with all my projects. Out of nowhere, everything was functioning fine just last week.

I exited iMovie and lost my project. I am able to find it in Finder, under the Movies tab, but can not get it back to a project in iMovie. Is there a way to restore it?

Please help! I exited iMovie and lost my project that I've been working on for days... I am able to find it in "Finder" under iMovie Projects... but I am unable to open it as a Project in iMovie. I am using iMovie '11, with no time machine, and I'm on a MacBook Pro.

I fully sympathise with you, as I recently experienced the same issue (as have many others).
Projects always appear as normal in Finder in the Home folder Movies/iMovie Projects (or on an external disk at the top level in Movies/iMovie Projects). Nothing looks untoward there.
However, when iMovie is opened again after an editing session, the most recent project worked on does not appear in the listing of projects in iMovie's Project Library - although it is still listed in the Finder folder . This happens for no apparent reason - no unexpected quits, freezes, or crashes, and nothing else out of the ordinary. iMovie is simply not recognizing the project. It can't even be opened by double-clicking on the project in Finder.

Sorry to bombard you with all these links, but as you will see there are others here reporting the same problem. No solution has been forthcoming unfortunately.
Be sure to provide feedback to Apple - in iMovie's menu click on iMovie > Provide iMovie Feedback, then complete the online form.

I'm making a DVD with my iMOVIE and when I tried to burn a DVD I got an error message that said
"ERRORS IN PROJECT
There were errors during the project validation that have to be fixed before burning the project."
What does this mean and how do I fix it.

I HAVE COMPLETED SEVERAL IMOVIES AND FINALIZED JUST FINE. NOW I GET THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE FROM MY LATEST PROJECT. "The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (File already open with write permission)"! What is going on

Hi
Error -49 opWrErr File already open with write permission
Trash the preference files while application is NOT Running.
Easiest way to find out if this is the problem is by:
• Create a new User-Account
• Log out of Your old one and into this
• Re-try iMovie
If it now works OK - then 99.9% the problem is iMovie pref. file that needs to be trashed.
from Karsten Schlüter
Some users notice on exporting larger projects from within iMovie that this operation is aborted with an 'error -49'
This issue occurs only on MacOs machines using 10.7x
try switching-off the Local Mobile Backup
in Terminal copy/paste
sudo tmutil disablelocal

I try to export my Imovie and I always get the error code"Unable to prepare project for publishing...File already open with write permission" it even does it when I am just trying to export to my external hard drive to save the file

Thanks!!! I had same error (with -49) and the mac had an external hard drive attached.. and it was doing a backup. Stopped, disconnected and the project exported!

How can I save and recover projects in iMovie 09?

I created a (slide show) project for the first time in iMovie 09, sent it to iTunes and then closed iMovie. The instructions said it should have automatically saved my work, but hwhen I opened iMovie again, the project was empty. When I go to the Finder and then Movies, then iMovies, then click on the project and do Get Info, it says it is 78 MB and that it was modified at the date and time I modified. If I right click and choose Show Package Contents, there is a folder there is quick time file with with the slides I used and a folder with the mv4 file. but the iMovie file is still blank.
Why did iMovie not save the project? And is there some way to recover the project?
Many thanks for any help.

I don't think you can import a FCP X project to iMovie, but if I am wrong I guess someone will correct me.

I have existing projects made in iMovie and now I can't play them or edit them... any idea what's going on? Thank you

I have existing projects made in iMovie and now I can't play them or edit them... any idea what's going on? P/s M preview window is totally blank. I can't figure out what went wrong. Thank you

For iMovie to see your projects, they must be in a certain place. If they are on your startup internal hard drive, they must be in the Movies/iMovie Projects/ folder. If they are on an external drive, they must be in the iMovie Projects/ folder at the top level of the drive. Is it possible that your projects have been moves somewhere else?

I have created a DVD via iMovie and burned several copies. When played the DVD's will stop and display a message SKIPPING DAMAGED Part. It is not the DVD. When trying to export the project, I get an error message.

I have created a DVD via iMovie and burned several copies. It is a large file. When played the some DVD's will stop and display a message SKIPPING DAMAGED Part but will not resume. Some work fine. It is not the DVD. I have burned from several batches.

Updated to iMovie version 10.0 Opened it. All my clips and projects were there. Then it crashed. Now no clips no projects. If I try and import them they are dimmed. If I try and 'update projects and events' a dialogue box says no files found.

Have macbook pro 2012, running Maverick. Updated to iMovie version 10.0 Opened it. All my clips and projects were there. Then it crashed. Now no clips no projects. If I try and import them they are dimmed. If I try and 'update projects and events' a dialogue box says no files found.
Have tried restarting computer, no joy. Help!!

The reply from Nerval fixed it. It is very simple and it works.
If you have a lot of Projects and Events, leave the iMovie running for a long time. I had 160G and it took 4hrs. It is doing it in the background so don't shutdown too quick.
Thanks Nerval.

When i try to finalize my iMovie, it says share requires more memory, quit imovie and relaunch. Don't want to lose my project, how do I resolve the memory issue. It's a new computer so there isn't much on it yet.

when i try to finalize my first movie project, i get the message that sharing requires more memory to be available and to close imovie and relaunch it. This is a new computer and has nearly all it's memory free. If I close, I will probably lose my project. What am I not doing?

If you have Restricted your MAIN account in the perental controls that may be the reason. You may have to create a new Administrators account to change the settings on the parent controls.
Not sure as I have never used that feature on any computer I own.

I create a project w/iMovie and I have two problems: When I try to finalize the project iMovie crashes; when I share to DVD sometimes it crashes also; if I can successfully send it to DVD and then burn a DVD there are wavy lines on the screen. Help!

You can split a project in two by doing this.
1) Go to the Project Library View.
2) Select your project, and click FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT. Give it a name like "your project name - part 1".
3) Do this again. This time name it "your project name - part 2"
4) Open Part 1 for editing. Delete everything in the second half.
5) Open Part 1 for editing. Delete everything in the first half of the project.
At the end you should have your original project, plus the same project in two parts.

I have iMovie 8.0.6 and an iPhone 4S. I took hours of videos on vacation (Australia and New Zealand) and want to make a movie. I've imported the first batch into iMovie and started the project. I just realized that I shot both horizontally and vertical

I have iMovie 8.0.6 and an iPhone 4S. I took hours of videos on vacation (Australia and New Zealand) and want to make a movie. I've imported the first batch into iMovie and started the project. I just realized that I shot both horizontally and vertically and when I preview (on full-screen) what I've combined, first it's wide-screen, then it's tall, narrow with wide black sides.
The film looks choppy, no flow, since it alternates horizontally and vertically.
I can import the vertical clips two ways: "Full-Original Size", or "Large 960x540." But the vertical clips have very short, fat people.
This didn't happen with my Flip HD; the movies are smooth and terrific. My heart is breaking.....please, how can I make the videos match?

Yes, I'd like to use all the video I shot, put it together with music, titles, etc. and make it consistant. when it goes from full screen to this vertical, narrow clip, it's very awkward.....and it's so narrow, it's hard to see what I'm looking at; my eyes don't make the adjustment quickly.

I have recently bought a imac and wish to transfer iphoto, imovie, and itunes files, albums, projects etc, from my macbook to my new imac desktop, to free up space on my macbook. How is this done?
