IMovie, cannot add to existing project

I've opened an existing Project ( that has not yet been "shared" or "exported", and when I try to add a photo "click and drag", it shows up on the project screen, but when played "space bar", it does not appear- only the previous photo.
Can someone help?
Thank you

Try this:
<CTRL> + click on that picture in the Project Browser. Then choose Reveal in Finder. When the Finder window opens your picture will be highlighted, <CTRL> + click on that picture Again and choose Open with > Preview. In Preview go to the Tools Menu > Adjust Color:
Make just tiny, ever so slight adjustment to the Exposure Slider. Then go to the File Menu > Save. Quit Preview.
In iMovie quit the program, then launch it again. See if iMovie can play that particular picture back. If it is still stuck on the previous picture perform this same operation on the Previous picture instead. Something in these steps forces iMovie to re-index, or account for the changes in the picture forcing it to refresh it in the project. And this sometimes clears up the problem.

The Quicken issue has been a hot topic in the Quicken forum as well as many others. Intuit did not provided an updated Quicken when Lion came out. I believe that within the past month Intuit has announced a version that does work in Lion, I looked into it, but was not impressed; there were some technical issues that prevent me from using it (don't recall the details though). Fortunately, I found out about the Quicken mess when Lion came out, and like many users, migrated the quicken data files over to a common format that could be imported into a number of new financial apps like iBank. Intuit lost a lot of Mac users over this.
As for Excel and Word, you have to buy Microsoft's newest version of Office on Mac to be compatible.

Latest version iMovie: cannot see clips in project OR event browser, but they are there in both libraries! So cannot create/edit/publish ANYTHING.

HI All. I have been having a HECK of a time with iMovie 11!!! Converted a bunch of video to .mov format, imported into iMovie, and created a project. No problem. Finalized, and published to iTunes, no problem. Saves extra copies. No Problem. SO ... I want to create another project, and follow the instructions RELIGIOUSLY. I can import the video files into the event library, and can drag them into a newly created project, but I CANNOT see the clips in the browser pane for events or library! When I click the playhead in either the event library or the project library (where the clips are edited - supposedly), they play (ie, i hear the audio just fine) ... but NO real-time playback. ALSO - the video no longer plays for the already completed project when I click the playhead - same deal - not in the project browser, not in the event browser. The playhead runs, but as it moves from thumbnail to thumbnail, each one goes black, and no video plays in real time in the other pane. I closed out of iMovie, did a restart, repaired permissions. No change. I get no error messages, and can find no way to 'reassociate' a project with a set of clips (like one can do in software like Illustrator etc).HELP!!!

I've spent 3 hours in Apple Covent Garden trying to have this fixed. Most of those were spent doing something to content in iPhoto. It didn't work. Then I left them my computer to reinstall software (Snow Leopard and iMovie) which they said they could do better than me and my discs. But I got back a computer with a new user profile and no files. When I used Time Machine to restore my files to my old profile the problem was just as before except now I've lost a week worth of photos, despite the Time Machine file having been saved just hours before I gave my Mac to the muppets in the Apple store.
If it's any clue, the other I get is that iMovie searches for four missing movie files when it tries to load. I've tried solving this by creating new files and changing the names to match the ones that are missing (as I read elsewhere in the community works) but it doesn't work.
So I've wasted hours, a day of Apple having my computer and no one replies to my thread here. What's to be done? Do I give up on iMovie and buy Final Cut pro? And how can I get my week's worth of photos back that have disappeared from TimeMachine, even though everything else in the restoration (e.g. mail and Firefox windows) are completely up to date?

Is there a way to add an existing distribution list to a document?

i created a distribution list with CVI1 and i am trying to add it to a document, NOT via the distribution list but from the document itself.
via the "environment" menu, I can create a new list or change a list in which the document is already written in: but i cannot add an existing list from the document.
any idea?

i am aware of that: that i why i asked this question. i need to upload distribution lists to be added to documents and i did not find a way to add the documents to the list (cvi2) in a recording: the amount of document i can add is limited to the amount of lines i see on the screen;
my final goal is to add existing lists to documents or documents to lists, via upload (excel sheet or txt file) LSMW or other methods!
any idea is welcome: i have searched and not found solutions

Break your code into two parts:
1. Extract the data from the database into variables in memory.
2. Generate the XML.

Import existing projects into Workspace

Cannot import other existing imovie projects

I believe iMovie 5 is suppose to be able to import other existing iMovie projects. When I attempt this through the import function on another iMovie 5 project (in this case a single clip smaller than 600mb) it say "Error:Quicktime cannot parse clip" it says a little more than this actually but this is the part that seems to have any relevance.
It does this with bigger or smaller clips. I am running Quicktime 7 and have all the updates in place
.Anyone have any ideas.

If I read you correctly, you tried to import another iMovie HD project directly into a second project. You selected a project icon to import, correct?
iMovie HD can't do that, although the programmers forgot to tell iMovie HD. When we try, we get a "cannot parse" error. (The import dialog shouldn't allow us to select an iMovie HD project to import. It's a bug.)
There are other ways to do the same thing:
1) Do a Save As to copy Project A to a new Project B. That duplicates the entire project.
2) If you have an existing project you want to import clips to, you can Copy and Paste the clips from Project A to Project B. With Project A running, select all the clips, Copy, open Project B, Paste. Repeat for the audio clips.
Note that when Copying and Pasting try to copy all the clips you want together. If you don't, then any clips you copy and paste separately which share the same source file will cause iMovie HD to deliver TWO copies of the source file to Project B. That can hugely increase the size of Project B.
That occurs because Copy/Paste preserves the non-destructive editing of the clips. The Pasted clips behave just like the clips in Project A. A split clip can be restored to its original length, for example.

I am using iMovie effect "the game" on my project but I cannot add , I am using iMovie effect "the game" on my project but I cannot add

I am using I movie effect " the game" to create a trailer of my own pics, but when I use movie effect I cannot add pics to the movie so can someone please help me out with this problem, I baiscally need to add pics in movie effects instead of clips. As you know pics can only be used in album scrapbook filmstrip etc etc effect & nt in movie effect.

Select the Trailer you are working on, then from iMovie's menu select File>Convert to Project. You will now be able to edit the Trailer just like a normal project, including adding photos.
It's best to duplicate the Trailer before converting it. In Project Library view (where all your projects are listed), click on your Trailer then from the menu select File>Duplicate Project.

I would like to add a project to an existing project.

I am trying to add a photo project to my existing project. Both projects work independantly. I did the the file add procedure and now both projects work independently when chosen from the project. I would like to link them up now by adding some navigation between them, Maybe a button from one to the other so I can access the function and come back to the original. I cannot get an access to link the two. I am wondering is there a way to do this.
Project A gets a button that connects with Project B then Project B gets a button that takes you home to Project A.

IMovie for Mac: "iMovie cannot open files in the "iMovie for iOS Project" format."

Question, asked professionally
When will iMovie for Mac be able to open iMovie for iOS projects?
Question, asked snarkily
Any reasonable expectation that we will ever be able to edit projects--created in iMovie on our fancy new expensive phones--in iMovie on our fancy new expensive laptops?

Error Messages
iMovie for Mac: "iMovie cannot open files in the "iMovie for iOS Project" format."
iMovie for iOS: "An error occurred during export."
Frustration
Manufacturer: Apple (a multibillion dollar company)
The year: 2015
Hours lost: Three Weeks
Total costs for both devices: $4,000
Background Details
I just wasted thousands of dollars on these two hardware devices by making the rookie mistake of assuming projects were compatible across iMovie applications. However, the exported .iMovieMobile project files are in an incompatible iMovie for iOS Project format that iMovie for Mac cannot import. So I am stuck with a 15 GB .iMovieMobile project file--for an hour-long+ video--that I created and I was editing on my iPhone for weeks that I can no longer edit on my iPhone due to an error, nor potentially rescue the lost hours on my Mac, the sole reason I purchased it one day ago. The reason I can no longer edit the project on the iPhone is because iMovie for iOS suddenly stopped displaying the video of the project in preview, external display, etc. The clip snapshots remain visible and the audio remains audible, but the video appears fully black. Any attempt to export the video at any resolution generates an error message. (This error applies only to this project; other projects export without issue.) I can save to and from iTunes or iCloud without issue, but import into iMovie for Mac is unavailable for this latest version. Deleting and reinstalling the app does not resolve the issue. Nothing has resolved this issue; so I purchased the Mac as a last attempt, and it appears that I will have to begin the meticulously painful process of recreating the video from scratch with all the titling, sound effects, precise edits, transitions, organization, etc. This video was to surprise my mother for her birthday with "this is your life" footage, including my late father. It may seem like a small first-world problem, but such things carry big emotional impacts. What began as such a wonderfully intuitive and joyful experience has descended into a soul-suffering nightmare of catastrophic proportions. This software grinch stole christmas.
Likely Suspect
I believe this originated from Apple's confusingly designed iTunes client that removed videos used by iMovie for IOS during a sync, which I successfully restored back to the iPhone. This apparently resulted in iOS seeking and then claiming to find all of the videos, but somehow a bug in the coding causes the audio to play but not display video, and no way to resolve the bug from an enduser standpoint. I was hoping that iMovie for Mac would allow me a workaround, but I'll never know because the iOS and Mac formats are currently and dishearteningly incompatible.
Suggestions
I never performed a full backup of the iPhone, but I don't believe any of the iCloud nor local backups actually backup iMovie projects themselves anyway. (That's a fail.) So one must back them up manually to iTunes or iCloud.
MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS DAILY, IF NOT HOURLY.
MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS BEFORE IMPORTING OR SYNCING FROM ITUNES.
MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS BEFORE IMPORTING VIDEO CREATED OUTSIDE OF YOUR IOS DEVICE.
Resolutions
Hope Apple fixes this problem soon? Perhaps.
Return the Mac to Apple, if they allow? Perhaps.
Someone in this community will provide a magical workaround--that I haven't already attempted? Perhaps.
As unlikely these options may be, I shudder to imagine that I may be forced to suffer no resolution and $3,000+ completely down the drain, because if iMovie for IOS worked as intended, I wouldn't have ever purchased the Mac as a last ditch effort to rescue the project. It meant that much to me to surprise my mother by attempting to retrieve this project file from oblivion--but to no avail.

I appreciate you taking the time to copy and paste boilerplate responses to increase your points in this forum, but I've already read all those support articles in depth; but you have barely read my post at all. Please don't guess a fix. Only someone with the latest versions of iMovie, iOS, iPhone, Yosemite, and MacBook Pro is qualified to troubleshoot this, because anyone would immediately see that the following option no longer exists:
Open iMovie on your Mac, and choose File > Import > iMovie for iOS Project.
Read my post before you reply: It clearly says in the title and within my post that I can neither export nor import through iTunes without receiving an error message. So your response neither solved my question nor helped me whatsoever.

If i move my iphoto & iMovie source library / Events and Projects to an external hard disk, due to size, will my existing slideshows work ?

I need to move my photo library and Movies (Events and Projects) to an external hard disk as my 700gb drive on my iMac is now full (*see note below)
I have brought 2 Samsung External drives (3TB each) which I plan to partition each for Photos and Movies i.e 2 partitions on each drive, and will use one for use with iPhoto and iMovie, and the other drive for a dedicated backup. I will backup the remainder of my iMac hardisk to a seperate disk.
What has just occured to me is that after I have moved the libraries I cannot see how existing iMovie projects and iPhoto Slideshows will work, as each Application will be looking for the source files on the original iMac hardisc (I assume).
I am running Snow Leopard v10.6.8 ( I did not want to upgrade to Mountain Lion as I was told the iPhoto and iMovie changes were a 'backward' step. However I now want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, for security updates reasons mainly, and so need to free up my hard drive.
Can anyone advise on the best way to proceed ?
* - the iMac hard disk become full very suddenly, possibly due to duplicates, as I have noticed duplicate events and clips in my iMovies event library. I have noticed that some events are also now not showing, with message 'No video clips match the current selection' (I have not search criteria set).
Thanks

I was planning on manually backing up my external to the time capsule - but is there a way to set it up to back up automatically instead?
Time Machine will backup up automatically - you can not have your iPhoto library on the same volume as the TM backup (it will not work and it would not be a backup)
Dragging the iPhoto library to any external drive will backup it us also
I was also thinking about having the library copied to another external (I mean we're talking about irreplaceable photos here) - would i just drag a copy of the library to that drive as well?
Yes - that is a good idea - I run TM giving me hourly backups and a daily clone of my entire system giving me a bootable backup - plus do an occasional TM backup at our second home so I have one off site
is it possible to deal with my imovie library in the same way? so all my movies and photos are on my external?
Probably - but I use iMovie very little - better question for the iMovie forum

Timesheet could not add task from existing project task assignment

HI there,
I tried to add a task in Timesheet (PWA2013) from an existing assignment. However, there is no task listed under the project when I open the dialog "Add an existing task". It only shows me the project name, I click it, nothing under the project.
Due to this issue, I could not add any existing task into the timesheet.Please look at the screenshot. The "test project" is the project name, while no any task under this project.
Any help is appreciated!
Cindy

Hi Cindy,
Indeed if you cannot access the server setting from the quick launch menu in the left part of PWA, you have to request administrator rights to your admin.
I would add an important comment : in PWA2013, the "close to update" PWA2010 feature no longer exists and has been replace by the "lock" feature, which works basically the same.
To unlock tasks in PWA2013,
go to server setting, manage views,
choose a project view,
insert the "lock" column,
go to the project center,
check out your project schedule,
select the view you just modified,
change the value in the lock field for the given task,
publish the project
Read this post here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/projectserver/en-US/28d4914d-5a80-4638-8153-94155a7d43fe/locked-feature-not-working-in-pwa-2013?forum=projectserver2010general
And this article: http://epmsource.com/2012/10/31/where-has-close-tasks-to-update-gone-in-project-server-2013/
Then it should be ok.
Hope this helps.

Disks not avialable and cannot add new disks to existing pools

I have a few disks that are RAW and I want to add them to existing pools. However, only 1 disk shows up as a Primordial disk and the others do not. I cannot add these drives to a new volume and when I try to add any drive to an existing
pool, the add disk option is greyed out. I have search everywhere to resolve this but no luck.
What is interesting is one of the drives that shows available for a volume is the drive I have associated to backing up the OS on the server itself and is initialized, i.e. not RAW.

Hi,
Please try to run the following commands in PowerShell to obtain the information about disks:
Get-physicaldisk
Get-disk
In additional, the physical disk added to a storage pool must be 4GB or larger. If the space is less 4GB, the disk will not appear in the storage pool window.
For more information, please refer to the thread below:

Cannot add Transitions in iMovie

Hi,
I am a new iMovie user.
Trying to edit my first video for YouTube, But cannot add a transition.
If I grab a transition & try to insert it between clips, the transition 'hops' back to it's location ...what am I
doing wrong - PLEASE HELP

That should do - as transitions usually is just a few seconds long.
then when iMovie behaves badly - I trash it's pref file. Use to help - else
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
• iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
• Creating a new User-Account and log into this - forces iMovie to create all pref. files new and error free
• Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
• a codec is used that doesn't work
• problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
• version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
• preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
• other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
• External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
• USB-flash-memories do not work
• Net-work connected hard disks - do not work
• iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
This You do by
_ close iPhoto
_ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
_ now select all five options presented
_ WAIT a long long time
• free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
• external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
• GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
• Screen must be set to million-colors
• Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
• Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
• Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
• Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
• In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
buenrodri wrote
I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it
