IMovie project not displayed in iMovie, won't open from finder

My iMovie project is no longer displayed in iMovie. I can still find it in the finder, however it is not opening...

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
First of all, are running you have any third party apps that change your system appearance?
If so, try removing them from login items (see below).
Then, create a new account, name it "test" and see how your apps work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
If the problem is present in the test account also, then it is systemwide. In this case try repairing this with the 10.5.2 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
(Note: If you are running build 9C7010 do not install the Update.)
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
If the problem does not appear in the test account try starting in "Safe Mode" (It will take a bit more time to startup because it runs a directory check first).
If that works go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If there are still problems, go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving /Users/Home)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
Let us know.

Projects not displayed?

We've used Imovie for a year with no problems.
Suddenly, after we had done Share > Export Movie, Imovie does not appear to finish loading. When launching imovie, the events are displayed and the video clips from a selected event are displayed, but the projects never appear. The rotating wheel of white bars stops rotating but remains visible as if it hasn't finished.
Even if I create a new project it does not appear in the imovie projects window.
The old projects can be seen in the imovie library using Finder, but new projects do not appear.
We've rebooted, tried to re-installed imovie by installing from DVD the bundled software (- but we're pretty sure this doesn't work.) We are using Imovie 08 version 7.1.4 (585).
Any ideas please??!

Somehow I'm having the exact same problem right now. Any ideas would help!

IMovie '08 not displaying my iPhoto videos

For some or other reason iMovie '08 does not display my iPhoto videos. Even when I do a seperate import using the file import feature and browse my iPhoto video library, do I still not end up with a selection of my imported iPhoto videos. What is causing this? I thought at first the movie files' format might not be compatible but using finder I can clearly see that the movies recorded from my Sony DSC-N1 camera are MPEG file formats. Shouldn't these files show up automatically in iMovie if they are in my iPhoto library?
I have created separate albums in iPhoto, making sure that the movies that ere in the events section are also in the corresponding album but still the movies do not show up in iMovie. This is extremely frustrating so I hope someone could help me with this one.
Many thanks.

Shouldn't these files show up automatically in iMovie if they are in my iPhoto library?
No. The N1, like most Cyber-shot digital cameras by Sony, employs MPEG VX (MPEG-1) storage of video clips. MPEG-1 files are "playback only" QT supported. This means that they are neither "edit" compatible with iMovie '08 nor are they conversion compatible by the QT structure alone. (I.e., QT applications will drop the audio track if used to convert the clips.) In this case use any of the readily available MPEG-based, third-party applications available on line -- iSquint (free), MPEG Streamclip (free), FFmpegX (donation-ware), Visual Hub (pay-ware), etc. to convert these files to an iMovie '08 compatible compression format. Non-proprietary versions of DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, and H.264 compression format have all been found to be "edit" compatible with iMovie '08 as long as the file container does not contain "extraneous" tracks (e.g., a "Tween" track in the MOV file container). DO NOT IMPORT Apple Animation or Apple Video files. They will import and edit in an apparently normal fashion but will only export the audio with a "black" screen display.

RoboHelp Server 7 Projects Not Displaying

After installing a trial version of RoboHelp Server 7 and
publishing a WebHelpPro help system to RHS7server, the project does
not display in the Project pane of RHS7. Does anyone have any idea
why the project does not display in the Project pane?

Hi, ouque and welcome to the forum.
Just to clarify your setup. When you say "Project pane" are
you referring to the Configuration Manager on the server itself.
Or, are you referring to something you are seeing from the RoboHelp
authoring client app's Server Administration pane?
If you have access to the actual server desktop and view the
Configuration Manager, sometimes on a new installation, you can do
a "refresh" and the project will show up.
A few more questions:
Have you tried accessing the website and does the project
come up in the web browser?
On what kind of web server did you install RHS7? Windows
2003, etc.?
Is Microsoft Indexing Services turned on?
Apparently you were able to successfully publish your project
to the server so there is "communication" between your desktop and
the server I gather.
A few more details and we'll try to help.
Thanx,
john

Emailed iMovie project not opening.

I recently made an iMovie project and emailed it to myself. But when i tried to open it on another computer, it just sent me right back to my email. I have no idea what is going on so....please help asap for this is a school project.

The iMovie project file references the clips in the associated Event (or Events). The clips are not actually copied to the project. That's why projects have a relatively small file size (and you were able to email it). The project file keeps track of all your edits, together with added music and photos, among other things.
So, you need to have all the media together in one location if you wish to edit your project on another computer. You will need an external hard drive for this, formatted as Max OS Extended (Journaled).
This excellent User Tip by AppleMan1958 describes how to move Events and Project to an external disk, and how to Consolidate media so that a project can be edited on another computer:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4141
It's essential that all the moves/copies are done from within iMovie - NOT from the Finder.
John
EDIT: Sorry, just noticed that you had posted this question on 12 March (not sure how i came across it). Hope it's not too late! Otherwise, I trust that you got it all working OK and were able to complete your school project on time.

Imovie project not opening in imovie

Help anyone?
My son has been editing a video of his grandfather, who died last year. Sadly we have either exported or copied this video and now it does not appear in the imovie Project Library. However the file is in the imovie Projects folder, but we cannot open it from there. The icon in imovie projects shows an image, which is hopeful, but doesn't show a file size, which is worrying.
Has anyone else had this problem, and is there a solution?
Am using Imac 10.6 with imovie version 9.0.4
Many thanks
Susannah

If you click the Project Library in the upper left corner, it should go to Edit Project. There you should find it.
You said it was in your Projects folder. Check to see if your clips are in the Events folder. Hopefully, nothing was deleted.

IMovie project not updated

Still using iMovie 09.
Import films. IMovie events updated accordingly.
Create new project. Project title created in iMovie projects.
Start constructing project. Shift rushes from events to projects. Works fine.
Close iMovie.
Reopen the project. Projects appears in Project sub-window, but empty.
I have scanned the internnet. That happened to others.
No proper answer found. Only "Project modifications are automatically recorded."
Fine, but how and where.
Where is my mistake ?

Strange. I did not do anything, I did not change anything, automatic update just made up its mind and decided to operate as expected.
I never trusted software to be predictable !

IPad 2 - iMovie - will not display any videos or pics from my camera roll.

iMovie won't display any vids or pics from my camera roll. All the vids are taken using the iPad. Help?

Probably a privacy issue.
Check your privacy settings.
On the iPad, click SETTINGS
then PRIVACY
then PHOTOS
Look for iMovie and turn it ON

IMovie Project Not Opening After Attempts to Zip File

Hi all,
I am trying to clear some space from my external hard drive, and I have an iMovie project that is approximately 8 GB of space. I would like to back up the entire project file itself in case I need to edit it in the future, but I can't do that since it is larger than the ~4.4 GB size DVD-R discs. My idea was to create a zip file, and then split the zip file into smaller parts using the program Split & Concat.
I created a zip file of the project, and it appeared to work. I unzipped the file in a new directory (on my desktop, as opposed to the LaCie drive), and the file appeared to extract with no problems.
However, when I attempted to open it in iMovie, nothing happened. It was as if I hadn't done anything. I then tried to open the original project (on my LaCie drive), and encountered the same problem. The file size is still listed as just under 8 GB in both cases, and I have no idea what the problem could be.
My second iMovie project file on my LaCie (in the same directory as the file in question) opens just fine. Any thoughts? All suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

If you click the Project Library in the upper left corner, it should go to Edit Project. There you should find it.
You said it was in your Projects folder. Check to see if your clips are in the Events folder. Hopefully, nothing was deleted.

Imovie project not showing

this is what it looks like:

HELP!!!!

Thanks Bengt! Yes, external drive with mac os extended.
I contacted Apple and figured things out. Short story is this: Don't put iMovie HD projects in a folder labeled: iMovie Projects. Once I moved the iMovie HD files to another location, the media browser worked correctly.

IMovie Projects not recognized

I recently backed up my computer on an external harddrive using time machine, wiped the computer, and started over.
Later, I opened iMovie and created two different projects. I exported one of them called "delete service" so I could email it to someone as a draft and didn't export the "insert service" project. Next time I went to open iMovie, the project I had exported was no longer there. I went into finder and BOTH files were there.... I tried clicking and dragging the file to get it to show up in iMovie, and it almost looked like it was opening, but it never showed up. When I went into my external harddrive and moved those iMovie projects to the folder, still nothing.
I deleted my prefences file, still nothing.
Running iMovie '11

This happens in iMovie 10.0.2 too if that helps. I use 9.0.9 because in v10 Quicktime recordings are red.

IMovie Projects not in iMovie!

Hi guys,
I have opened iMovie 9.0.9 on mid-2013 13'' MacBook Pro and all of my projects are gone! They are still in my 'iMovie Projects' folder, but when I open them, it launches iMovie without the project/s.
Any help would be appreciated.

Images in Engage Interaction inserted into CP4 project not displaying....

Hi all
If ANYONE has an idea on this one, please let me know. I've already spent days trying to fix this issue with no result!!
I have a CP4 project, in which I am inserting an Articulate Engage interaction (interaction type = Process). Within the Process interaction, I have images. I have trawled forums and found out there is a recommended max image size (200 px x 310 px) and image type (jpeg or png) and I have also discovered that Process interactions prefer that images be aligned to either the left or the right, and not top or bottom. Done all that.
I also already know how to insert Articulate Engage interactions into CP4 projects - done that many times before. It's fiddly, but once you know how to do it, it's ok.
My problem is that when the CP4 project is published, the CP project plays perfectly, the Engage interaction displays as it should, each part of the Process interaction is visible and active, BUT THE IMAGES WON'T DISPLAY.
When I publish the Engage interaction (prior to inserting the engage.swf into CP4 as an animation) it plays perfectly, and the images display. When I view all the associated folders with the published Engage interaction, the images I've inserted are all there.
I cannot for the life of me work out what is going on. I have even re-created the Engage interaction from scratch, thinking it might have been corrupted somehow.
DON'T know what to try next.
Does anyone have any ideas????

in between the browser and viewer panes is a little search box ... click in it to change ... or if there is an 'x' in click it ... somehow you set a filter on that project ...

IMovie 08 not displaying its buttons

I've been making a movie in iMovie '08.
First, the still images wouldn't appear in playback, but would show as the last displayed still of a video. So I restarted and checked for updates.
When I loaded iMovie again, none of the iMovie buttons were available. (e.g. the trasition button, title button, voice over, crop rotate, etc. And it can't load up any of my previous movie projects. They just load for 30mins (for a 2min project!) and then nothing happens.
The only things i did were this: changed the aspect ratio to 4:3 from 16:9, changed from NTSC to PAL, and I renamed the proj file to import it into iDVD. (I've since then renamed it back again).
But i wouldn't have thought that would corrupt the iMove program the way it has... any ideas?

I'm afraid to say that I did rename the project file in Finder... (I couldn't see any way of doing it in iMovie)
But should changeing the name of a file mean that all the iMovie applicaiton buttons literally disapear?
