IMovie not showing in iDVD's media drawer

Every post similar to mine seems to have solved themselves, but I can't get mine to work.
I have 13 iMovies / Quicktime files in my movie folder; only 11 appear in the iDVD media drawer. I have deleted both iMovie and iDVD's preference files to no avail. Of the 2 movies not showing up in the media drawer, one is the first movie I tried that didn't show up, the second is a 'Save As' duplicate (with only the number '2' at the end of its name). Again, neither of these two show up.
I might add when I created the first one of the 2 that are now not showing up in the media drawer, it too was a 'Save As' - a different version of another movie that IS showing up in the media drawer. I might mention that on my original attempt to save it though, I got an error message from iMovie that there wasn't enough disk space to save it (not true, there were 50 gb left). My second attempt on the 'Save As' did work though, and it runs in iMovie fine.
It's just that neither it, nor its second 'Save As' version '2' show up in iDVD's media pane, even after deleting plist files.
I'm hoping I don't have to do anything that would cause iMovie to render this small 2 minute video. It is built of slides from iPhoto so I don't want the degraded iMovie version of these stills. (I'm also hoping I don't have to re-create it; I got lucky timing the stills and the audio and doubt I could do that again!)
Thanks for any thoughts.

Hello Dennis,
I had a similar problem once with a couple of movies i ran though JES Deinterlacer, saving them in the same folder. the original showed up in iDVD, the "processed" version did not.
I don't have an actual explanation, but got it to work by simply dragging the movie into iDVD from the finder.
hope this helps

Phone will save ringtones/pictures but not show them in the media folder.

As my subject said, my phone will save pictures and ringtones, however will not show them in the media folder, but if I got through the long way, through the "files" icon in applications all of the new ringtones and pictures are there. So any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

Hello TyRamos and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Remove your battery followed by your media card.
Reinsert your battery first and allow the device to complete the reboot. Once done, insert your media card. You should get a pop saying media card is inserted.
Go to your Media folder and check for your photos and ringtones.
Let me know how you make out
Thanks

Photos in imovie 11 not showing on idvd project.

I made a project in imovie11. Half is video with around 100 iphotos inserted into the movie. That is, a few iphotos in between various clips. Shows on preview imovie preview okay. But when I exported as HD1080 widescreen to idvd, the movie okay but photos not showing. Music tracks all there and the timing is all okay, but just a black screen showing instead of a photo? Any suggestions.
One other point may be relevant, I think the imovie is in NTSC format, but need to export as PAL. Is it possible to do this in imovie or just idvd?
Thanks in anticipation.

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

OWC RAID 5 not showing up in PPro Media Browser

Hello all,
I've seen other threads about OWC RAIDs not showing up in PPro and the solution has been to use the Mac's Disk Utility to reformat the drive. Disk Utility can't do RAID 5 though and that's what my 16TB OWC Mercury Elite Pro Qx2 is set to. If I use the File->Import command I can see the OWC RAID but it is not present in the Media Browser (nor in the window that pops up to re-link offline media). FCP 7, AVIC MC 6.5 and After Effects CC2014 all 'see' and interact with the OWC RAID just fine. The problem seems to be isolated to Premiere's Media Browser function.
If anyone has a suggested work around I'd love to hear it.

So it turns out the answer was in front of me all along, just use Disk Utility to format the drive and all is well.
What threw me was that Disk Utility only does RAID 1 and RAID 0 but since the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Qx2 is a hardware RAID I just set the RAID mode using the switch on the enclosure and then use Disk Utility to format it like I would any other disk.
The simplicity of the solution coupled with my lack of experience with RAID boxes proved to be my undoing. haha.
With that being said, I'd still like to see if Adobe can fix the issue w/the default OWC formatting tool.

IPhoto picture transfer to iMovie not showing edits

I have edited a picture in iPhoto with a Vignette effect but when I go to pull the picture into iMovie, the effects do not show up even though the effects appear in the thumbnail. So frustrating, please help!

Are you able to drag the thumbnail of the edited photo from iPhoto to the Desktop and have the edit in the resulting image file?

iMovie not showing SOME of my iPhoto movies. Why?

I import all my movies into iPhoto with the same Canon camera. No problem there.
In iMove, the "iPhoto videos" section has stopped adding/showing new movies. I have a bunch that were added recently that are simply not showing up.
They are exact;y the same format, etc. as all the others.

After calling Apple (they were no help and I was disappointed) I kept searching in the Apple support community and found the answer.
To get iMovie '11 to show the iPhoto videos under the event library on the bottom left of iMovie, you simply have to empty your iPhoto trash. Once the trash was emptied, I restarted iMovie and the problem was fixed after iMovie did a search and showed the thumbnails of the videos.
Again, this info came from another person on the support community. Hope this helps someone else.

IMovie not Showing recently imported iPhoto videos

Hello. I am trying to view FLIP videos I recently imported into iPhoto within the iMovie app. I can see a few from 2008 and 2009 but not the entire collection. I believe the iphoto videos iMovie is showing me came from a Sony Hard Drive camera. Any ideas? Any thoughts? Thanks.

I decided to import all the original AVIs and they worked OK (except one folder the thumbnails were all black so had to regenerate thumbnails and is OK now).
So assume there must have been a problem with some of the .mp4 files, even though I ran the conversion of all AVIs the same time with same settings.

Isight camera in iMovie not showing

Sound track from imovie not exporting to idvd

I set an audio track to video and photos in imovie from the ilife sound samples in the media section. When I send the movie to idvd, the video encodes but then idvd freezes at the encode audio part. The burn wheel stops turning, the scroll bar stops and then the rainbow pin wheel shows up. I have to force quit and the dvd does not burn to disc. What can I do to encode audio and complete the butn to disc?

Hello, songthief!
Welcome to the discussions!
What format was the commercial CD song? Did it play in iMovie?
You might want to re-record it to get it into a form that iDVD will burn. You can do this several ways. Here are two suggestions:
1. Import the song into iTunes, then burn it to a CD. Reimport the song from the CD back into iTunes in AIFF, then import it into your iMovie.
2. Record the song using WireTap Pro and import the AIC file that it creates into your imovie.
Also, one more tip:
Don't send your iMovie to iDVD from WITHIN your iMovie. Close your finished iMovie, open iDVD, create your project and then drag/drop your iMovie into iDVD's main screen. You will find your movie in 'Media' ->'Movies.' This prevents double rendering of your clips, 'jaggies' in your final burned DVD and other problems.

Chapter Markers do not show on iDVD

I edited a movie in FCE, DV 16:9 aspect ratio. added chapter markers, but in order to preserve the 16:9 aspect ratio when I exported the project to Quick Time I encoded it as HD 16:9, It worked preserving the aspect ratio but in the process I lost the chapter markers. When I tried the converted project in iDVD the chapter markers were gone. Anybody out there has a solution for this issue?

You might try importing the QT into iMovie and then sharing to iDVD after making making sure the chapters are marked. But if that doesn't help then you may wish to read these:

IMovie not seeing iPhoto in the Media Photos tab iMovie 6.0.3/iPhoto 6.0.5

Hello
I'm trying to use iPhoto through iMovie, but it doesn't see iPhoto under the Media>Photos tab. It says "open iPhoto 2 or later to see photos from your iPhoto library in this list."
I have iPhoto 6.0.5 and iMovie 6.0.3, and even when I open iPhoto it doesn't recognize. Restarting computer didn't help.
Please help,
Chris

Greetings,
I am having the same trouble with both iMovie and the new iTunes 7.
Here's a clue: We share our photos and songs and have relocated the photo library "Shared" and have set up an ACL. It has been working great, except iMovie seems to not understand it has moved. I can use iPhoto to create a new library in the user 'default' area, and iMovie sees it fine. But even if I switch libraries when starting iPhoto, iMovie can't find it, and there appears to be no way to browse for another iPhoto library.
iTunes 6 worked ok, but after downloading iTunes 7, I have the exact same problem.
Any ideas?

IMovie not showing up?

Recently, whenever I open iMovie, it never shows up. I don't know what's up. Just help me :P
Edit: As we speak, I'm installing iLife all over again. I'll report later.

Reinstalling all bundled applications did not work. However, I think resetting any preferences would work. I cannot figure out how to do this, though...

VSOM Not Showing Disk Usage for Media Servers

I wanted to try and figure out why my Operations Manager is not synchronizing the disk usage of the media servers storage partition. Currently I am running a fully virtualized environment on a Cisco UCS-B series chassis with version VSM 7.5.1 (Redhat 6.4) on my Operations Manager and all of the media servers.
As shown in the image below I am providing an example of the disk usage that shows for one of my media servers in the Operations Manager
Below is the an image of the disk usage shown through CLI of the same server.
As you can see there is a major discrepancy between the 37MB Used(Operations Manager) and the 4.8TB Used(CLI).
Has anyone ran into a similar issue and found a resolution, or know of the scripts on the Operations Manager or the media servers that are responsible for the sychronization of this information.
Thanks,
Michael

Interesting. Thanks for following up and letting us know a punt self-righted it. Have you checked to see if it only updated the once, or is it keeping accurate track now as storage get used?

IMovie not showing my movie in the Projects folder

When I click on the All Projects folder, in the preview section it says the name of the movie I have been working on. However, it shows no icon where I could click onto it nor does it allow me to play the video. I have tried making duplicates thinking maybe it would show up, to no avail ( I really don't know much about my computer ). It says that there are 3 projects there and yet nothing shows up. Recently, iMovie was not opening and it kept saying it "quit unexpectedly" but after following some advice online I was able to move things around in Preferences and iMovie opened - however it doesn't help me if I can't edit my movie. All of the clips are still in my Library though. I really would appreciate any help - this is for a school project (time is of the essence) and this is my first apple computer so I need as much help as I can get. Thank You!

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2. Remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

IPhoto/iMovie not showing eligible for update in Mac App Store

I understand that with the release of Mavericks, anyone with early versions of iWork or iLife apps are able to update to the current version free of charge.
I know that this works for the iWork apps but I'm having problems with the iLife apps (iPhoto and iMovie).
I was able to re-install the iWork apps (Numbers, Pages, Keynote) from the iWork install DVD that I had. After installing them, the Mac App Store recognized the apps and I was able to proceed with the upgrade.
Unfortunately, I'm not having the same luck with the iLife apps. I had to install both iPhoto and iMovie from the Applications Install DVD that I received when I originally purchased my MBP. I was able to successfully install the two apps, but now when I go into the Mac App Store, it doesn't seem to recognize that I've got the apps on my computer - it only gives me the option to purchase the apps.
Any thoughts on how I can get the updates to iPhoto and iMovie? It seems to be related to how I installed them (as I selectively installed these two apps from the Install DVD), but I've got no idea as to how I can get the upgraded version.
Thanks for anyone that can help!!
David

Not sure if you were also suggesting creating a new AppleID account as well.
No. You may have to contact App Store support to get this resolved.
Unfortunately there's not been a universal solution found for this problem.
