Imovie won't let me make 1080 projects

I've been using imovie for a while now and i've always been able to export in 1080. It's never been a problem before unless I had used videos from a camera that wasn't a high enough quality. I've exported movies into 1080 projects recently, but within the past week or two it won't allow me at all. I use the same (HD)camera for all of my videos and no matter what settings I change it doesn't seem to matter. Is there something specific that I should be doing to allow it to be in 1080? (not that i've changed anything i use to do) Frame rates? size? any suggestions are very appreciated!
I have Imovie '11 9.0.9 version
thanks!

Thanks for your response. So I can now 'open' my projects, but am still unable to add clips, etc. All of my clips are either mp4 or m4v. Now it seems as if iMovie is just not responding. I was only able to go into editing my project by renaming it, a solution that seems very surface.
Thanks again,
Andrea

  • Imovie won't let me open my project nor let me into my project library

    I need to do a trailer for english and I had already started the project. Then when I went to go open iMovie, it looked like this:
    I tried clicking the project library but it wouldn't budge. I tried all the buttons, shutting down the app/computer, updating the software.
    I looked in library-prefrence- and I couldn't find anything for the com.apple.imovie whatever
    I am super stressed out and I'm about to go hulk mode on my mac

    If clicking the share menu does nothing this is a known effect of having Mackeeper installed.  See: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24066271#24066271
    A more recent post reports that there is an update to MacKeeper that resolves the problem.

  • IMovie won't let me edit a project after update to 9.0.9

    I am working on editing a concert in iMovie '11 and recently updated iMovie to version 9.0.9.  After the update installed, I tried to copy and paste a shot video clip from one project to another one, but nothing happened (by the way, this process worked fine before the update).  I went back to the project screen and a screen popped up that looks like this:
    The progress bar did not move at all, it just stayed in the same place.  I tried to quit iMovie (command-Q) but that didn't work, so I force-quit it.  I then opened it again and the footage that I was trying to copy was in the project.  I decided I didn't want that clip, so I deleted it.  Guess what I got:
    I relaunched iMovie again, and the clip had deleted.
    Anyone know what is wrong?
    I am running iMovie on a 2008 iMac (Core 2 Duo processor, 250GB HDD, 4GB RAM) running Mountain Lion (10.8.3).

    I just got off the phone with Apple.  They said it was a software-update related problem.  I restarted the computer and everything is working.

  • Imovie won't let me drag the songs from the music and sound effects into my 'project'... I have tried everything, restarting itunes and imovie, dragging the songs to my desktop and then onto imovie, youtube tutorials...

    Don't drag them, import them from Media.

  • IMovie Won't Let Me Export?

    Hello!
    My iMovie won't let me export in HD (1080p or 720p), which has proved to be very frustrating.
    It first starts exporting:
    but then after a few minutes, a message comes up:
    What do I do? I've spent ages on this video, and it's really irritating, for me to start it all over again! I've updated all of my software, checked the App store for updates for iMovie, but there's nothing! What do I do???? GAH!!
    Please help! Thanks in advance! Thank you!

    I have the same problem and then some. I movie won't share this particular project, but it also won't save any changes made to it or any other project. At least that's what it started doing, now when I go to even try to make any changes it wigs out and things get scrambled in the Project window and it plays video from another project.
    When I create a new project, the Share menu is available, but it won't save changes to that project either. And by that I mean I can put stuff in the project and do whatever, but as soon as I quit and relaunch the application, the project is empty. I did figure out that if I make changes in a new project and immediately share it to the media browser that it will save the changes, but then it messes up my other project even more somehow!
    Tried archive and install, deleting plists, reinstalling iMovie and iLife support stuff (twice), repairing permissions, and changing permissions in the project package. Any other ideas?

  • Help! i'm trying to add multiple titles to my movie,but imovie won't let me

    i'm trying to use titles to add supers to my mini commercial. this is what i've done so far: imported video. added sound effects. added a product photo at end of clip. added a title over first four seconds of clip. now, i want to add additional titles at intervals throughout the 22 second film. it won't let me. am i doing something wrong?

    I had the same problem, cos sometimes imovie won't let you add more titles when you try to take them straight from the title menu. I happened to me mostly when the clip itself is quite short. While imovie won't let you overlay several titles, you surely can have several titles, one after the other, in your project. To do this, I used a little trick: Add some small clip to the end of your project. Doesn't matter what, you're gonna delete it again anyway. You can then add another title to this additional clip. Then you just drag this title from there to your actual clip and place it where you want it. And then you do the next one(s) the same way until you have all your titles where you want them. At the end you just delete the "helping" clip again. It might be a bit complicated way of doing things, but it worked for me.

  • HT201303 The Itunes store constantly asks me to Improve Apple ID Security by adding three secret questions but won't accept my valid password.  I have tried to reset the password, update the billing info and it still won't let me make any purchases.

    The Itunes store constantly asks me to Improve Apple ID Security by adding three secret questions but won't accept my valid password.  I have tried to reset the password, update the billing info and it still won't let me make any purchases.

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • I purchased something in a app after I changed my credit card but now it won't let me make a purchase and keeps charging me how do I fix this

    I purchased something in a app after I changed my credit card but now it won't let me make a purchase and keeps charging me how do I fix this

    Are you adding or changing your credit card details on your iTunes account ? If you have then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.

  • IMovie won't let me import images!

    Hi-
    I've got an extremely old version of iMovie (2.1.2)
    From some reason, when I try to import any kind of image (jpg, gif), iMovie won't let me
    The jpg file is greyed out when I try to import. I've tried changing the import options to Jpeg file, all importable files, etc. Nothing will let me import.
    Anybody had this kind of problem?

    This may be the problem:

    No. But, you may be able to find it cheaply on eBay.

  • Won't let me make a in-app purchase.

    It keeps saying that my credit card info is invalid, but I redeemed a 15$ itunes card on my account. Last week I had also redeemed a 20$ itunes card and it let me purchase music. Today, I redeemed a 15$ itunes card and it won't let me make the in-app purchase of 11.99$.

    Are you adding or changing your credit card details on your iTunes account ?
