IMovie clips marked as rejected

I am in the early stages of learning how to use iMovie and seeking help/advice.
I have several events, that I edited to remove unwanted footage, "delete selected, then emptied the trash".
That operation appeared to go well except, when I now view these events, all the remaining clips are marked with a "red" bar and identified as "rejected" clips. Not sure if I did something wrong or not.
Note, I have not deleted these clips (I can still see them in the event folder within the finder).
What I want to do is remove the "red" bar and not have them identified as "rejected" clips.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciate.
Also, if anyone has thoughts on how I might have created this situation that would be great, since I do not want to do this again.
iMovie '11
OS X Lion

Well after playiing around with iMovie, I was able to answer my own question.
I selected the clips marked as "rejected", then clicked on the "unmark" tool (located in the dividing window between events and projects), which reverted them back to a "normal" state.

How do I import imovie clips from my iphone 6 to my mac running yosemite?

My iphone 6 screen is completely smashed leaving me unable to use the touchscreen. I know that you can just send the imovie project to itunes but I can't use my screen to do it. Also, when I go into imovie from my computer and click import and then go to my phone it says there are no clips. Is there a way I can get those imovie clips to my computer through another means? Thanks

God Bless You,
Its very simple, you can download pixelpipe to upload it straight from the phone, or just connect your iphone to your computer (if you have a mac, then go to iphoto, and the video should be there). I'm not sure how you would do it on a pc.

Using Imovie clip files on a pc

Hi
I used Imovie to log and capture from dvcam then i copied everything from the clips folder to dvd. the problem is my doesnt recognise the format.
Is there anyway i can use these on my pc?
I intend to use premier pro1.5 and i dont mind re-rendering them to a PC friendly format so any help would be appreicated.
Thanks

Your iMovie clips are probably in DV Stream format, which is basically raw data straight from the camcorder. Here's some info:

You should probably go back into iMovie and export them properly, either to DVD or to QuickTime. If possible, choose a pretty high bit rate so you don't lose quality.

Can anyone help find lost iMovie clips please?

Hello,
I've lost several iMovie clips from my iMovie, The Library list on the left on the screen still displays the titles, but when I click on them the window displays the title with "empty" next to it.
I've tried restoring from my Time Machine back-up external disk but the results remain the same.
I've tried looking at my iCloud account and can't see any movies there at all, including in iCloud Drive.
I upgraded to iMovie 10.0.6 and it seems to have happened since then.
Unfortunately the missing movies have been deleted from my camera so I can't reload them.
I have uploaded some movie clips recently and they've worked fine.
Is there any other way I might be able to recover these missing files?

I've now recovered the missing files, however I have a further problem which I'm hoping someone can help with.
I have just recovered some video clips which I had accidentally deleted. For some reason the recovered files couldn't be read by iMovie but when I tried iPhoto they did transfer into that. It took hours though.
Now the movies are there they are showing as "clip" type with a unique number allocated to each clip.
I want to bring them into iMovie so that I can include them with iMovie clips which are already there.
I can't find a way to either send them to iMovie or import them into iMovie from iPhoto.
If I want to use clips from both iMovie and iPhoto am I able to import them so I can compile a movie?

Fcpx - after selecting part of a clip, marking in and out, pressing the e key does not add it to the timeline. what do I do?

At the Mac store they showed me how to select part of the clip, Mark in an out, and then use the key board shortcut, the E, to move back down to the end of the timeline. At home it refuses to do that. I can't even drag it down. I am using Snow Leopard, not lion. Can anybody tell me why I can't get the material down to the timeline except as an entire clip?

I was stuck in this exact same position yesterday, and wow was it ever frustrating. I can't remember the exact steps I stumbled upon to figure it out, but basically you need to create a "project" (not a "sequence" like you'd think - there is no "new sequence" command in FCP X) and that "project" will in fact be the sequence you are able to add your selections to.
The same real estate the sequence lives in is also where the "project library" lives, which will overtake your sequence if invoked - look to make sure the film reel icon at the bottom left of the screen is not active (blue). If it is active, click it to make the project libary go away.
I'm still struggling with FCP X as a long time professional FCP 7 user, and from what I've read this isn't uncommon. Best of luck getting past these fisrt few awkward hurdles and onto the actual editing (which, I have to say, so far I am having a hard time being precise or creative with).

Possible to insert a countdown timer into an iMovie clip?

I'm making an exercise video, and I want to insert an occasional small clip with a countdown timer. Ideally, it would be some beautiful nature footage (like waterfalls or wildlife), with a countdown timer in the corner.
Does anydbody know how to insert a countdown timer into an iMovie clip?
For that matter, does anybody know where I could find/purchase 2 minutes of nature footage?

Sure you can. What you need to do is add the initial image to the topic then create an image map. This allows you to define shapes that when the user's mouse hovers over it indicates that there is a hyperlinkto another topic. Just right click on the image, select Insert Image Map and go from there.

Can I increase the resolution in a jpg created from an imovie clip?

Can I increase the resolution in a jpg created from an imovie clip? I've done the steps to create/extract a "still" from an iMovie clip (which started as a small clip in iphoto). I did the steps of creating the freeze frame, and then doing a "screen shot", but the resolution is only 97 kb, so it won't be good to print. Help!

IMovie Clip Location

When making a DVD using iDVD in the past, I used to locate the iMovie clips I wanted to put onto the DVD in a file called Media relating to the relevant iMovie project. It was a hidden file. I can't remember how to locate these hidden files now, can anyone help?

Oops - never mind. I know what I'm doing wrong. Its the CTRL key thingie isn't it?

Dragging iMovie Clips into iDVD

I'm creating a iDVD project consisting of a full iMovie and a submenu containing several selected clips from that iMovie. In the submenu I drug several iMovie clips over (from iMovie which was open) and iDVD created a Movie button for each. Problem is that for any of the clips that were originally cropped in iMovie, the uncropped clip version comes across into iDVD and goes from a 16:9 to 4:3 format. When I check in iMovie, the clip is showing up as cropped and in the correct format.
After checking the forums I tried the recommended method of selecting clips individually and exporting thru Quicktime and then importing into iDVD. Doing this the cropped version of the clips come across correctly but I still loose the 16:9 aspect.
Am I missing a setting/option somewhere? Any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks for the suggestion. I dowloaded the QuickTime 7 version but when I attempted to process the clip I was instructed to do a "Save As", but since I do not have the Pro version of QT that's not an option. Any way around that?
What's really strange is that on a previous iMovie/iDVD project I simply dragged the clips and everything worked fine.

I keep on adjusting the duration of the IMOVIE clips , and after I have hit DONE and check the clip, it reverts to the original number and not the new duration requested. Any suggestions???

Error -69 suggests a possible problem with the source files on your computer. Check the source disk for errors and backup if you don't already do so. See HT1210: iTunes displays a -69 error when syncing iPod for more details.
The SyncToy backup program is also a good way to identify exactly which files cannot be read. Repeated runs may succed in copying files which won't copy over on the first attempt.
See also Corrupt iPod classic.
It may also help to disable any AV software while syncing or set exclusions on the media folder and the iPod's drive.

APPCS5.5 Clip Marker Sync Question

Very simple scenario:
Within Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, I inport (1) single video, minus audio.
I then import (1) audio track, completely not associated with the audioless video clip.
(For sake of this scenario, (1)video of gun shot - no sound, (1)audio clip of gunshot.)
I then open each of the two clips, respectively, in the Source Monitor window, slide the Time-Indicator
to where I wish my Clip-Marker to be placed, go up to Marker > Clip Marker > Set Other Numbered, and
proceed to enter, "0" for the maker associated with my video clip, and, "1" for the marker associated with
my sound clip.
Ok, each Clip-Marker, on each clip, set perfectly where I need them, and it can be said that, each clip now, has at least one numbered
Clip-Marker applied to it.
Next, I fully understand about the Merge option, and that, I can simply drag the one clip, and the Markers will go black when aligned.
However, I do not want to do it that way.
Instead, with Clip-Markers in place, I Marquee select both of the two clips, go up to Clip, in the Menu Bar, and choose, Synchronize.
Option box comes up, and as always, the option to Sync using "Markers", is greyed out.
Why?

Try using Unnumbered markers.

MacBook won't let me trash Quicktime iMovie clips?? Whatup?

I am trying to trash a Quicktime imovie clip. When I drag the clip in the trash, I am asked to give my password. Then I get the message:
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
Have any of you dealt with this? Any tips?
Thanks,
Eddie

Thank you so much. You rock.
I'm going through the process of trying to clean up my hard drive. My MacBook has been serving me well for 3 years now and I'm trying to avoid the fatigue that my past Macs have suffered from. Let me know if you have any maintenance tips.

How to add "clip marker" to clip in sequence?

Hi,
i need to add markers to clips in my sequence. In 5.5 i'd just select the clip in the sequence and then go Marker > Clip Marker > Set. I don't see this option in 6, was it moved or removed? Right now i have to add a few steps and double click the clip in the sequence to load it into the viewer and then add a marker and that's a complete waste of time. Is this the only way to do it in 6?
Thanks

Thanks Ann,
in case anyone else needs this. here's an image.
