Imovie won't edit or play project

Hi,
I'm pretty new to Macs, but I am really struggling with this, and can't find any solution that seems to work.
Basically, I've been editing a project in Imovie for a few weeks. Yesterday, I was editing and closed without issue, in the exact same way I had done for the last few weeks.
Today, I can open Imovie, but my project won't open, nor will it play, either in the preview window or full view. In fact, it won't even allow me to open the project and see all thumbs.
I've googled it, and the only suggestions I can find suggest I delete the preferences file or delete and reinstall imovie, both of which I have done, neither of which work.
Does anyone have a working solution, as I am starting to get worried I will lost all I had done up until now.
Thanks,
James

Hi James,
The problem you are seeing appears similar to what others here are reporting (including me). However, in our case the project appears in Finder but is not listed in iMovie's Project Library.
From your description, it sound like you can see the project in the Project Library, but it simply won't open. Is this correct? If so, it's slightly different to what we are seeing (or not seeing)!
See my latest post on this issue here (where I've provided links to 7 other topics on this):

Sorry I can't provide any advice as to a remedy for this very frustrating issue. Please provide feedback to Apple, as I've described in the above link.

Imovie won't recognize camera, english project due tuesday help!!!!

I am using a Sony DCR-TRV480 video camera. I am using a IEEE 1394 6 to 4 firewire to connect it. The tape format is Hi8. I've been told that certain older tapes marked 8mm will not work with Imovie 08 which is what i'm using. The thing is that the same tape i just recorded on, i've pulled video off of before for a different project and it is an 8mm tape. I've tried replacing my firewire, restarting computer, having the camera connected to a power source or not, turning the camera on and off, toggling thru the options on my camera and going back to the play/edit option. I've also heard of people messing with garageband for a while and then trying to import again and also messing with mobileme and then having the import work. I've tried both of those too. When i go into the system profiler and click firewire, it comes up in red saying a list of firewire devices cannot be shown and below in black shows the speed of the firewire port. the computer is a macbook running mac osx 10.5.4. I don't think i have any other info i can put up here. I need help.

See my answer in your other post about iMovie HD 6.
As for your Hi-8 camcorder, it's actually a Digital-8 camcorder.
Sony's own troubleshooting page http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&externalId =C86798&fes=true&mdl=DCRTRV480 says..
1. Ensure the i.LINK cable is connected securely to the camcorder and computer.
2. Ensure the camcorder is turned on and being powered by the supplied AC power adapter.
..So try running the camcorder on its AC power adapter while you're using it with iMovie!

IMovie won't share/export my project as it says 'not enough disk space' - how on earth do I get this movie onto a DVD?

I really hope someone can help me please?
I have a 16GB iPad and have created a really nice wedding DVD for my sister. It consists of about 20 mins worth of video clips and 25 mins of images set to music with movement between slides etc. I have cleared absolutely everything off that's possible from my memory and I can't seem to get the iMovie project off my iPad! My storage says that 8.7GB is taken up by iMovie and I've deleted all photos from my camera roll as iMovie can run the project without them, it doesn't cope without the video clips though (tried that!)
I hve now tried exporting to iTunes and it says I don't have enough disk space - I don't understand how it can't just lift the project off my iPad without having to consume yet more storage? I have also tried exporting to camera roll trying 1080pHD - too big. It started on the 710pHD and got all the way through exporting (around 30 mins) and then at the end told me I didn't have enough disk space. Funnily enough, iMovie was only taking up around 6GB of space prior to this, so it's storing this failed attempt to export some how but I can't see how I can get rid of that.
I am heartbroken that I've spent three months doing this and now can't transport it from my iPad by seeminly any means possible. I don't want to just give up. I've seen other threads that say 'go to my computer and look in the DCIM folder and it's there... but it's not. All the video clips are there but not the actual project.
Any help anyone can give would be so much appreciated. Is there a way I can do this without essentially having to give up on apple products and buy some video editing software for my PC. Which isn't a MAC by the way. As you can tell, I was hoping to screen this movie on Christmas day for the family :-(

Are any of your apps video players? Some app store apps contain a file you can't see which saves logs of everything you do. Say if you have had an iPhone for 4 months and watched 50 videos with a video player these 50 videos may have been copied to the log file inside the application and may be what is using up all your disk space. Delete all video player applications from your iPhone.
If that doesn't solve the problem copy the photos to your computer and restore your iPhone with iTunes back to factory settings and when you have restored DO NOT "restore from back up" because that might restore whatever is causing the problem instead DO "set up as new iPhone". Once you've set up your iPhone sync apps, books music, photos...etc back to the device.

IPhone 4 - iMovies - won't edit videos from other albums

So I have the iPhone 4 and I have iMovie it. Well I've made some videos on it and it worked perfectly.... Until today. Today I was going to make a tribute video for my uncle who had died. I was going to incorporate pictures and videos I had of him. Well the videos were on my computer so I synced my phone and 2 videos on my phone. When I went to iMovies to start my editing and the videos never showed up. They are in the right format (mp4) so I don't know why it didn't work. So I tried trimming some parts and sending them to my camera roll and even that didn't work. Can anybody tell me what I can do to get this to work? Or can iMovies only work on videos you recorded with your phone?

Just a quick update on my issue... which seems different than most. To summarize, I tried updating from iTunes 10.6 directedly via USB. Got an empty progress bar when it "rebooted" after "successfully updating" to 5.1 with a memory allocation bar on itunes showing most the memory as allocated to "other", instead of the usual memory allocation to apps, music, pcits, etc. Rebooted the phone, but still came up with an empty progress bar, but would connect to itunes.. showing booted as 5.1, but again the memory was still allocated to "other". Started recovery process on itunes to try to bring back my old config, after which the iphone fully booted (into 5.1), but was completely.... recovered and re-installed all my apps, music, etc without a hitch and rebooted successfully, this time the memory allocation was correctly labeled, but somewhere I gained 2.0 GB of memory, even with all the same apps and music installed. I had to do some minor additional configurations (password lock had to be re-enabled), but otherwise, everything was working. A bunch of apps lost their stored settings... which I though strange as I expected the "backups" to store those settings as well. Otherwise, running 5.1 now without issues... seems much snappier than 5.0.1... but the process was nerve racking to say the least.
Best of luck with other "explorers" tyring to make the whole process work.

IMovie won't edit my clip

Hi. I'm using Mac OS 10.4.8, and iMovie HD 5..0.2. I have a clip in my movie which is approximately 872MB long. I have been trying to edit it down to just a few seconds long, so I can use it in a Gee Three Slick 6 transition...Vid Motion. I want to superimpose it over a different clip. I edit the clip to just a few seconds long and when I try to use it in the Gee Three transition, the clip is still in its entire pre-edited 872MB length, even though the correctly edited version is in my clip viewer. And when I try to drag this correctly edited clip onto my desktop, somehow all 872MB gets dragged, and I find the clip is the original unedited length. Even it's information shows it's 872MB long. Any ideas on how I can fix this would be greatly apprreciated
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) iMovie HD 5.0.2

... after editing the clip, I would select it in timeline, choose export/Quicktime/FullQuality (no loss of quality...) and 'selected clips only' and export that edited scene.. now, you have a single-solid file, you could re-import or use with that plug-in ..

IMovie won't upload my latest project

I have uploaded many movies to youtube, even some that are just under an hour. BUT, I am trying to upload my latest "small" project a trailer and it is refusing. I is giving me an error message "Sharing requires more memory to be available - Quit iMovie and relaunch it" Then it only gives me the OK button. I have plenty of memory computer only 6 months old. Anyone have any ideas, really need to get this project up.

Thanks AppleMan, but I have done all that many times......I am really stumbed here. Any other ideas.
Appreciate your help.

If iMovie Won't Start-No New Project Menu item ( 7.1.1 or 7.1) - How To Fix

Go to display preferences.
Change (for now) to Apple RGB or one of the Apple presets.
If you have a "XXX [name] Calibrated" profile delete it (if you did an import assistant install and have a bunch of old profiles for old monitors, delete them too)
Re-calibrate and give the profile a new name.
Apparently old 10.4 calibrations upset iMovie 7.1 on and you make a new one and it works.

Same exact issue here. Brand new iMac purchased on 10/30 that still had Tiger installed... Thanks for putting all that upgrade work on me Apple! I waited until after the release to order my iMac so I wouldn't have to go through the brain damage of upgrading, only to find out that I had to spend hours upgrading the brand-new machine! I have not had internet access to get the latest patches, but should have such access tonight to download the patches that might fix this.
iMovie apparently doesn't work on a brand-new iMac when all you have are the DVD's that shipped with it. I even tried applying the various updates from the Leopard dvd and tried re-installing iMovie from the Tiger dvd.
If you fixed this problem, please reply here and reveal what it was... Thanks!

IMovie 9 - Video is edited, shows the project clips, but won't play at all? Please Help

So i've finished all the editing on my project, But now it won't play. The clips show on the project reel (left side) but doesn't show the video in the viewer on the right side. Space bar just sent the red tracking bar back to the beginning but won't play. Hitting the play button makes nothing happen, and playing full screen doesn't play the video either.

Imovie, i can't see my project files and events, and won't make new ones!?

When opening imovie (11) i cant see eny off my events or project files and i cant make new ones or import files. But i still se my events and project if i go to User-Film-Imovie Projects/Events...!?
Message was edited by: Seb K S

I've been having problems along the lines of most of these people as I have been trying to move iMovie files from one computer to another. I then put them on a USB drive, only to find out that it wouldn't work, according to the documentation. We then bought another Firewire drive, and formatted it as forum notes indicated, HDF. It didn't work correctly for file transfer in FAT32. Then when the files were put on the new drive via command line file copying program called rsync.
I still couldn't get it to sync up on the new drive, but they were there. The answer turned out to be a few things found in much older posts, so I thought I'd post them here in case it is helpful to others.
I'm now using iMovie11, but some of these were written for 08.
*1. The files have to be in the two directories, Events and Projects. These have to be at the *top level of the hard drive*. If they are at a lower level, iMovie won't find them*. I had put them in another folder called Movies, but it can't find them there.
2. Throw out the preference file, if necessary, as noted in several of the online posts. I'm not sure if that mattered or not, but did it, as well as restarted iMovie and the newly added projects and events finally showed up.
3. Copy files to the events or project folder while holding down the command key.
It now looks like there is a little bit of an issue with the syncing of the project data and the movie, but so far, it seems to be o.k., other than that.

Imovie won't open any projects after upgrading to yosemite

Can anyone help? I upgraded to yosemite and imovie 10.0.6 and now imovie won't open. IPhoto and Garageband open just fine. After clicking Imovie, it appears in the menu bar but all options from the drop down menus are grayed out. I cannot open any projects and there is no imovie window opening. I have tried deleting and reinstalling the program twice with the same result. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Apple introduced a new document architecture with Pages v5, that is not backwards compatible with Pages '09. With Pages v5.5.2 (Yosemite) installed, a simple double-click on a Pages '09 document will default open it in Pages v5. Once you save, or Pages autosaves this document, it is no longer directly compatible with Pages '09, without first exporting it to Pages '09 format. Pages v5 documents do not contain index.xml files, and Pages '09 documents do.

I transfered a project from one mac to another and imovie won't open the rcproject on the 2nd computer

How do I get the new computer to open the transferred project to continue editing?

The project file is sort of like a text file ( a hexadecimal text file) that provides instructions to how to put the project together. These instructions are run when you SHARE the project using the Share menu.
The rcproject file does not contain any of your video footage. Those are all in the Event folders. It also does not contain your Photos. Those are in iPhoto, or Aperture, or wherever you keep them.
A project might say,
Go get clip A from Event 1 and start at frame 32 and end at frame 500. Then overlay a title on it and crank up a music track that you can find at this path in iTunes. Now go get this other clip....
That is why project files are very small.
That is also why it is very important to do all moves within iMovie. If you move an Event folder somewhere using the Finder, the Project file still thinks that all the clips are at the original place, so now they can't find them.
The best way to move the Event folders is to attach an external drive. The external drive must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). In iMovie, click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK. Now you should see your disk drive listed in the Event Library.
The most foolproof method is first to hold down the Command key and drag the small icon for your project in the Project Library List to the small icon for the external disk drive in the Project Library List. (Note: A simple drag will COPY. Holding Command down as you drag will MOVE).
Now, select this project file on your external drive. Now click FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA. Now you can copy over all Event folders referenced in the Project, as well as copies of any music, photos, or other project assets.
You can plug this drive into the other Mac and edit. Or if you prefer, you can reverse the process by Command Dragging the Project (in iMovie ) to the internal drive, and then selecting it and FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA.

I renamed my iMovie folder with my projects in it, and now iMovie won't open them
