IMovie cannot find clip!? HELP!

     Hi, I have been posting lots of questions lately, as my MacBook is giving me tons of very annoying and frusterating problems. I always seem to have trouble with iMovie though...
     Anyways, I need to use iMovie, like I always do, and every single time I open it up, this comes up:
     I have tried everything (even fooling iMovie into thinking it is accepting a file, which is really empty and is just named after the original clip) to make this go away, but like usual, nothing works! How can I make this go away? I have tried restarting the computer and force quitting iMovie, but this message still keeps on popping up! It is EXTREMELY frusterating because it won't even let me get access to my projects (which are also pretty much empty thanks to my klutzy move, check out my other questions please!!) and I need them pronto! Thank you so much! I hope somebody will actually (for once in their lives) take the time out of their day to help this clumsy girl. I never get any help or answers, and it really gets me mad! Thank you, and hopefully I'm not talking to air!!

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iMovie. There's an iMovie Support Community where everybody uses iMovie. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie

  • Imovie cannot find songs in itunes

    Imovie cannot find songs in itunes

    You need to create a play list of songs that you would use for movies - mine is called Music for Movies.  Then when you click on the music icon (the first box in the line of 5 in the grey bar across the lower third of the screen) and a drop down menu will appear showing all your play lists.  Then simply drag and drop, but make sure that you hover over the video clip that you want to add the music to.  If you don't the music will be added to the start of your presentation.  You can always move the position afterwards. NOTE - if you want to add to your play list do it before you start your video editing as the list does not always update when I Movie. 

  • Moved Itunes library now imovie cannot find the audio in my project

    I just moved itunes library from my external drive to an internal drive on my Mac laptop. Now iMovie cannot find the music tracks for my project. How do I tell iMovie where to look for the new location of iTunes library

    I'm the same as you with this one.
    I had to move my itunes library to a new hard drive because it was taking up too much space. Now my imovie projects can't find my itunes library. One sound track when I right clicked in imovie I had the option to find media so I just located the same file but in a new location. This, however, doesn't work for all audio in my many projects.
    I'm feeling very disheartened with the whole thing.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • TS3694 I have not updated my iphone in two years, and error -43 occured. i cannot find any help for this

    I have not updated my iphone in two years, and error -43 occured. i cannot find any help for this on the apple site

    If the phone has been hacked, we can not offer advice on Apple's support site.
    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

  • IMovie cannot find my 13 files

    I uploaded 13 segments of video I shot this weekend into iMovie under a title, but when I click the title, the folder is empty. iMovie erased the movies from my desktop so I can't get to them.
    Where are they in iMovie?
    Thanks.

    I'm having the same problem... and I have not moved any of my files.  So the fact iTunes cannot find songs that it had previously played makes no sense to me. 

  • IMovie - cannot find different themes as shown in ap store

    My daughter has been wanting this ap forever. Finally she downloads it but she cannot find all the themes that it shows in the ap store description. We have gone under settings after creating a project, but can only find themese like CNN, travel, etc.  Does anyone know how we can find these themesÉ

    Yes it is compatible, but there is that rider at the bottom of the full description for the app, as I quoted above. It is very confusing!
    The app I have on my iPhone doesn't have the full capability as the app for an iPad (Pad as distinct from Pod). For example, the iPad version has waveforms for the audio track. This enables editing of soundtracks, such as fades and volume adjustments within the track.
    So, there are several "varieties" or "flavours" of iMovie for iOS, depending on which device you are using.

  • Cannot find Lightroom help

    When I try to access Lightroom help from the help menu I get a windows message that "windows cannot find.............adobe lightroom\resources\fr\help\help.html".
    I guess the problem is that I use an English version (the ....en\help\help.html is actually present) on a PC in France.
    How and where can I correct the path to the English help menu?
    Thanks in advance for help on this.

    ok, I think I solved the problem. I changed the en folder name to fr and it seems to work.

    With what program are you working and with what version of the program and on what computer operating system?
    I suspect that you are working with some version of Photoshop Elements. If that is correct, then be advised that some how
    your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing) instead of the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum (photo editing).
    If Photoshop Elements question, then please re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator
    here to see your thread here and move it from here to there.
    Photoshop Elements
    Thought....if are creating an image on a transparent background in Photoshop Elements Windows for a Premiere Elements Windows project, then you Save As png or psd.
    Please clarify if I have misinterpreted your question.

  • 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?

  • IMovie cannot find the video files (external hard drive) but they are in the project?

    As the integrated hard drive on my iMac is getting too small, I moved all my iPhoto files to an external hard drive.
    I made a movie after this change and it worked perfect until I should finish the movie. Here I get the message the the media files are missing.
    This is strange as I can watch the movie in the project in the iMovie library.
    I cannot finish the move nor share it.
    Can somebody help me?
    My imovie is version 10.0.3 and I am running Maverick.
    Thanks!

    Can you give me the info I wasked for in the other thread?

  • New iMovie cannot find iPhoto Pictures

    Hello Community! After the update to the new iMovie, all pictures in my project mediathek are gone. He keeps telling me that he can't find the file path. In the old iMovie it still works. I imported the pictures from my iphoto mediathek. Any ideas ? All my projects are heavily damaged! :-(

    If I were you, I would continue to edit existing projects in the old iMovie, and only use the new iMovie for creating new projects.
    Events come over to the new iMovie really easily but lots of people are having problems bringing Projects over.

  • IMovie cannot find iPhoto

    When I opened iMovie 6 this last time and I clicked on the "photo" tab within the "media" library there is nothing there. Usually there are my iPhoto libraries and a bunch of thumbnails. This time there is just a message that reads: "Open iPhoto2 or later or Aperture1.5 or later to see photos from your iPhoto or Aperture library in this list."
    I have opened iPhoto and nothing happens. Nor can I drag photos from iPhoto to iMovie. I posted this question in the iMovie forum and I followed all the steps offered to me. Unfortunately the problem still exists and I am getting extremely frustrated. Is it possible it is a iPhoto problem instead?
    Please help! I need this fixed for a Christmas present I have been planning all year! (I've been taking photos and movies of my nephew with plans of making a movie of his first year and now I am desperate!)

    This problem is often caused because the albumdata.xml file (in your iPhoto Library Folder) is not working correctly. This is the file the other apps read to integrate with iPhoto.
    Some possible causes:
    1. Using non-ascii characters in your Album Names or Keywords

  • For JCO , rfc gate way ,bridge, cannot find need help

    Hi!
    I am not sure about sneak preview but who are you logged in as when you say "can't find sld"?
    What happens when you try to go to "http://localhost:500XX/sld" ? Any message?

    Have you check a common, trivial, issue with the connection? Connectors and cables that worked fine for ages start creating such issues.
    Some tips:
    * Try with another cable.
    * Connectors contacts get dirty, especially those that are often connected and disconnected. Not long ago a USB key and a USB drive were getting randomly suddenly disconnected. It even made my Mac OS crash sometimes. One the household must-haves, IMHO, is a contact cleaner spray. It does miracle on the connectors of your sound-system, your batteries, your computer, etc. I sprayed all the ports and cables, just in case. It solved the problem. Clean both sides, male and female. Do it as a regular maintenance.
    Hope it helps.
    BTW. I used to have my RAW format pics (CR2) converted to DNG while being downloaded. Then Photo Downloader started messing them up, so I stopped and I now use the native RAW format.

  • Cannot find the Help Deactivate in Photoshop CS3.

    I have CS3 installed on my work PC and my home PC. I need to uninstall one of them and move it temporarily to a laptop. From everything I've read, the Deactivate solution sounds like a very easy way to accomplish this. But cannot see Deactivate in the Help menu....it's just not there.
    I had purchased the upgrade version of CS3 and installed it over prevoius version of Photoshop....all run XP.
    How can I accomplish this?
    Thank you for the help.

    It may be hidden if you have Photoshop set to other than the default workspace.
    Are you connected to the internet when you try?
