Import iMovie '08 Project?

A friend started a project in iMovie '08 and is considering upgrading to Final Cut Express...
Can Final Cut Express import an iMovie '08 project? If it can, how much of the edit makes it into Final Cut? Transitions? Audio edits? Titles? etc?
Will his iMovie timeline basically be recreated in Final Cut Express and all his raw clips come over as well?
Thanks!

You can open and edit projects created with iMovie using Final Cut Express.
To open an iMovie project:
1 In Final Cut Express, choose File > Open.
2 In the dialog that appears, select the iMovie project you want to open.
The iMovie project opens in the Browser and contains the sequence and the clips as
they appeared in the iMovie Clips pane.
Important: Final Cut Express does not import iMovie sound effects, audio levels, or
transitions. All other applied effects are imported.
3 Double-click the sequence to open the iMovie project in the Timeline.
4 Render the sequence.
The imported clips are linked to the original media files captured in iMovie (found in
the iMovie project’s Media folder). These files are iMovie DV Stream files and are
encoded differently than the QuickTime files Final Cut Express captures. Keep the
following in mind:
DV Stream files do not have timecode tracks, so media imported from iMovie
project files cannot be recaptured. All imported source media must be backed up
for future reediting.
Imported iMovie DV files might not play back or print to tape in real time without
being rendered first.

  • Help! I can't import iMovie HD project to iMovie 11

    I have this project I was working on for hours in iMovie HD (v. 6.0.3), but I wasn't happy with the editing features so I decided to upgrade to iMovie 11. In iMovie 11 (v. 9.0.8), I followed the command of File > Import > iMovie HD Project. Then I selected the project I had been working on with "optimize video" checked and the "Save to" location being HDD.
    Once I clicked "Import" I got the following with absolutely no progress bar and no video clips. I have also tried unchecking the "optimize video" box and with different old iMovie HD projects and I always get the same thing: a blank project with no video clips. I also checked for updates for both iMovie 11 and iMovie HD and restarted my computer.
    HELP!

    Hi
    iMovie 1 to HD6 - is one product in up-grade
    iMovie'08 to 11 - a compleatly different program with no relation to iMovie 1 - HD6 what so ever.
    iMovie'08 to 11 are in my opinion no gain at all over iMovie HD6 only a severe loss of functions.
    BUT I USE - miniDV tape = interlaced SD-Video and for this iMovie HD6 is the best tool - if one doesn't go for FinalCut Express or Pro (not Pro-X) - as these are realy the best ever done - for my video works.
    So I would stay in iMovie HD6 and complete the Movie - or -
    Start all over in Video-editor of choice (the one You like)
    There are no working transcioding tools to move project over from iMovie HD6 to ANY THING ELSE - Not iM'08-11 or FinalCut any version - transitions, texts and other editings will not travel over in an editable form if at all.
    Yours Bengt W

  • Can you import iMovie '06 projects to Final Cut Express 4?

    The just released FCE 4 toutes ability to import iMovie '08 projects. I don't like iMovie '08 - all my projects are in '06 - can I import them the the new FCE?

    I imported a small '06 project to iMovie '08. Well, the only thing that was imported were the video and still images. Not imported - music tracks, transitions, titles.

  • Importing iMovie HD projects into iMovie 11

    Are projects made with iMovie HD compatible when imported into iMovie 11?
    I have imported projects made with iMovie HD into the latest iMovie 11 and noticed soundtrack and transitions were missing. Is there anything I can do to import iMovie HD projects without missing anything (music, effects, etc) in iMovie 11? thanks

    Hi
    iMovie 1 to HD6 - is one Application evolving
    iMovie'08 to 11 - Is a wrongly named new Application.
    That's why one can't migrate projects over with full compatibility - same as to FinalCut - will not work 100% either.
    And If You aim to make a DVD as result - then stay in iM HD6 as this will give absolutly best quality when exported to iDVD.
    iMovie'08 - 11 discard every second line resulting in 50% of the sharpness.

  • Importing iMovie 5 Projects Into Version 11?

    Hi Gang!
    A quick one. I have a bunch of iMovie projects made with iMovie version 5 I did on an old MacBook (PPC). Since there's no "Open Project" on the new iMovie 11 menu, is Import->iMovie HD Project the right way to do it?
    Is this going to re-create the whole movie all over again? In that case should I delete the old version 5 iMovie project to save space?
    Thank you,
    Gabster.

    Import/iMovie HD project is the way to go.
    I haven't tested it except from iMovie 6 HD, the version after yours. It is possible you would have to convert first to iMovie 6 and then to iMovie 11, but it may work from iMovie HD directly. As I say, I have not tested.
    You should know that it will import your video clips into an iMovie 11 Event. Any clips that you had selected for the project timeline will be placed into an iMovie 11 Project. However, it will not carry forward any special effects, music, titles, etc. I think transitions will be replaced with a cross-fade transition. This is from memory, but all this is documented in iMovie/Help.
    Once you have done this, you can delete the iMovie HD project. Your event clips will now be available to all projects without having to duplicate them every time you use them.
    I would keep it for a month or so until you get the hang of the new version just to be safe.

  • How to import iMovie 11 projects to iPhoto?

    How do i import imovie 11 projects onto iphoto? please help!

    iMovies are not designed to be viewed in iPhoto. You should watch your movies from iTunes. You can SHARE/To iTunes and your movies will be in iTunes. From iTunes, you can watch them on your Mac, on your Apple TV, or you can sync to iPhone, iPad, iPod. You will also be able to access them through the Media Browser in Keynote, Pages, GarageBand, Logic, and iDVD.
    The only movies that should be stored in iPhoto are short, unedited clips taken by a still camera. iMovie can edit them without taking them out of iPhoto.

  • Import iMovie HD project

    I have a Sony High Def SR11 camcorder. When I transfer my movie from camcorder to my desktop a icon shows up on my desktop for my hard drive for camcorder. Now in the icon hard drive what do I have to import to use when I am choosing import iMovie HD project from iMovie from my icon hard drive on desktop from camcorder to make a movie in iMove. thanks.

    Have you tried FILE/IMPORT iMovie HD Project?
    You should be aware of the limitations.
    It will put all the clips in an Event.
    It will put the timeline clips in a project.
    It will not bring over any titles or music.
    It will replace any transitions with cross dissolves.

  • Can anyone help? Imported iMovie HD projects seem screwed up

    I have imported video from iMovie HD into 08, and HELP! In one case. the clips don't play, and the titles seem to have disappeared. In another the clips play, but sometimes with the wrng sound, and again the titles have gone.
    (Oh, and be careful: if you import video into iMovie 08 and then erase the original copy (which you may need to do if you are not going to overfill your hard-drive), any iDVD projects that use the video content will become useless.)
    All very frustrating!

    Oooh, do tell more. How do you do what you are suggesting?
    Navigate to your iMovie HD project in the Finder. Control-click the project icon to open the "contextual menu options." Select "Show Package Contents" to see the files/folders contained in the project package. Open the "Shared Movie" folder. Inside you should see an "iDVD" folder. Opening it you will find the "Project_filename.mov" that represents the currently saved contents of the the project's timeline to include titles, transitions, effects, etc. (This is the data that would normally be sent to iDVD if you were going to burn a DVD of your finished project.) Simply copy the file to another location or HDD so it can be imported in its entirety to iMovie '08.
    NOTE: Never tried moving/removing this file from the package as I thought it might have the potential to corrupt the iMovie HD project and am in the habit of working from work/backup files in case there is ever a problem. (I.e., just don't like restarting from scratch if I can avoid it.)

  • Importing iMovie Events/Projects to FCP X?

    Hi I am a complete newbie to the MAC forums. Apologies in advance for the long winded post!
    Past:
    I have been a Windows / Video Studio user for many years. (Win 7, Q6600 cpu, 8gb RAM)
    I principally make DVD's of slideshows, interspersed with video and with a music background for myself, businesses and friends.
    I'm not a "Pro" by any stretch of the imagination but I've been successfully making reasonable quality output.
    Now
    I've moved to the Mac and as my profile shows I've bought a reasonable machine - iMac 27", 16gb RAM, i7 3.4gHz cpu, AMD Radeon HD 6970M (2GB) and 1TB main drive and 3TB external drives.
    I have iMovie '11 and (after reading extensive reviews) just purchased FCP X to see if I can -
    Utilize the 64bit the iMac is capable of; and
    give myself more flexibility for creativity (VS X3 had heaps of themes, transitions, titling etc)
    Questions
    I expected FCP X to import the iMovie Events and Projects hassle free (most bad reviews referred to comparisons with FCP 7 etc.) However when I import the projects -
    The iMovie MAPS feature is not supported (this is a real hassle as this was a recent welcome introduction from iMovie '09 on). Apple support suggested I export the whole project to a QT movie then import into FCP X but as I told them I bought FCP X to speed up the process, not to process a 32bit app then import to a 64bit app to do my final output. (Since then my research suggests there is a workaround to the MAPS problem if I just create the Maps in iMove and export to QT and import to FCP X - Why would Apple not just continue this feature in FCP X?
    All of my photos appear full screen in iMovie, however when I import to FCP X  some of the photos are significantly smaller i.e. appear in a black frame. Is this a media problem or is FCP X not capable of importing the project in it's iMovie form?
    All text frames (as intros to particular groups of photos) lose their formatting and the text is cropped and unreadable.
    All this from a product that is purported to "import iMovie Events and Projects". The imported mess I have suggests I'm better off starting from scratch but this means the "import iMovie events" is useless?
    Lastly, the plethora of options for output leaves me baffled to say the least. It is not helped because i am not a Pro but even iMovie is difficult to easily produce a high quality DVD for playback on a big screen TV. I try various options, SHARE>Media Browser>LARGE, or 1080p (produces 108 error in iMovie) Then import into iDVD to produce DVD menu and output to Image file prior to burning on SL or DL media.What is the best workflow to produce the best DVD output on a HD TV?
    Thanks in advance for any help as time to complete some projects is against me.
    George

    Thanks Tom.
    Do I understand correctly that to produce 90 minutes of high quality I need a Blu-ray burner? I follow that DL discs can only produce HD up to 40 minutes and to go beyond that I need a Blu-ray burner and disc.
    On advice from Apple Support, I provided feedback for a feature request when I first struck the problem. I'll research the forums more to seek out answers to my questions. I'll have to find the "spatial conform" section. In the meantime I'll finish these projects as best I can in iMovie and then start my learning curve with FCP X as I am probably biting off more than I can chew at the moment.
    Patrick and Tom, I appreciate you taking the time to share your wealth of knowledge.
    With thanks,
    George (in Tasmania Australia)

  • Import iMovie Mobile Projects

    I just updated iMovie on my Mac, but I can't find any way of importing iMovie projects created on the iPad.
    I go to import, find the .iMovieMobile file but it won't let me select it for import.
    The help meu doesn't mention support for iMovieMobile projects anymore.
    Anyone else noticed this?

    Hey Dolphinesian,
    I just got off the phone to Apple support and they had no idea. Their solution was to revert back to iMovie 9.x. Unfortunately then i cannot use iOS' iMovie 2.0's file format *.iMovieMobile (which has my edited video).
    A reason why this is annoying so many of us could be because Apple has gone into a let's-rebuild-our-apps-from-scratch phase (read let's use the code base that we have for iOS and modify it for Mac OS X). As a developer I understand the motivation behind this move (the old version of iMovie must have been a nightmare to maintian). However Apple is a huge company and cutting back on features to re-add them in later versions (à la Pages / Final Cut Pro X, etc...) is REALLY FRUSTRATING to customers.
    Futhermore, from my impressions of the last WWDC, Apple works in tiny teams and really seems to work under-resourced (obviously this is an outsider's point of view). So they tend to be aware of these issues but have a priority based checklist they have to follow to maintain these tight deadlines.
    The best thing we can do as disappointed customers is to flag these issues here, by calling support, by filing radar bugs and/or by simply pressing the point. SO APPLE PLEASE ALLOW US TO IMPORT IMOVIE PROJECTS FROM iOS (and iMovie projects created by another iMovie 10 library).
    Sincerely,
    A saddened iMovie customer.

  • Import iMovie '08 project (movie) into iMovie '06 (to make chapter markers)

    I would like to make custom chapter markers in my iMovie '08 movie so that a scene selection menu is automatically created when I import the movie into iDVD. I understand that I can create such chapter markers in iMovie '06, which I have downloaded.
    I am unable to import the iMovie '08 movie (project), into iMovie '06, however.
    It looks like I can import iMovie '08 Events into iMovie '06, and make a new movie out of them. However, I don't really want to re-create the whole movie all over again, as it was a lot of work.
    Is there some way I can get my iMovie '08 project imported into iMovie '06? Or do I have to make these custom chapter markers in GarageBand, as suggested elsewhere?
    I have looked at this discussion - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8592766&#8592766 - and other ones, but can't seem to find an answer to this. It looks like others have tried to do this, but it doesn't say exactly how.
    Thanks.
    Barb

    I ended importing my movie from iMovie into Garageband, and, with a bit of a learning curve (figuring out how to get the time instead of the beats to show in the LCD, for example), making my chapter markers and titles there. I then sent the movie to iDVD of course, and it seems to work just fine.
    So I didn't end up copying the buttons, as you suggested, but thanks very much for that suggestion. Once I figured out the Garageband controls, it was easier than I thought it would be. I guess I should have tried Garageband first; it seemed like such an unlikely solution, what with being a music composition program and all.
    Thanks John.

  • Importing imovie 4 projects?

    Hello,
    Just got my new imac 20" in today. Awesome! Anyway, I have been trying to import my old imovie 4 projects to imovie HD 6, and I haven't had any luck. Is it possible, or am I just not seeing something?
    Thanks!

    Hi Adam - if it works the same as iMovie 5 then, yes, you can, but it will convert your iMovie 4 project into a new format, AND this will not be reversible.
    So - as a back-up in case something goes wrong, first make sure you have made a copy of your iMovie 4 project. [If you still can, it would be a very sensible thing to do, to retain the iMovie 4 app. as well as iMovie 6].
    Then open iMovie 6, locate your project and open it.
    Does this help?

  • Sharing / Importing iMovie 8 project in iMovie 11

    I've shared an iMovie 8 project file *.rcproject with a colleague.  It is a template we duplicate over and over where we just swap out the radio show audio track.  My colleague uses iMovie 11.
    When she downloaded the *.rcproject file to her User/Movie/iMovie Projects folder it didn't show up as a project when she opened iMovie.  So, she tried to use the IMPORT feature ( file | import | import iMovie HD) but the file was greyed out.
    Is there a way to share the actual project file from 8 to 11 w/out converting it to a movie?  The project has dozens of storyboard pieces, like graphics, background music, and text overlays we'd like the ability to move around and edit, as well as exit slides that we like to swap out from time to time.  So keeping it in its original project format will be essential to streamlining this transition from me to her.
    Thanks.

    I swear I saw on this board a while back instructions on how to open an iMovie 8 project in iMovie 6.
    iMovie '08 projects are stored as a "text" file describing how the physical movie would be created from the resource files and how effects are to be applied. iMovie HD, on the other hand, only imports physical media files. You can, of course, export your iMovie '08 project to your hard drive as DV or AIC and import that file to either iMovie HD or GarageBand for audio editing (or share it to the Media Browser for audio editing in GarageBand).

  • No date when importing iMovie HD project into iMovie '08

    When I import an iMovie HD project into iMovie '08, the dates for each clip disappear. It seems as though the date/time for the entire import is the date/time I captured the movie from my camera into iMovie '06, not the actual dates of when the videos were taken. Can anyone help? Thank you!

    I to have this problem ... hope there is an easy fix!!! Or perhaps it is just an way to force us to jump right to iLife '09?

  • Importing iMovie 06 projects into iMovie 09

    I have a number of projects done with iMovie 06. How can I import them into iMovie 09?

    Use File/Import/iMovie 6 HD Project.
    It will put raw footage in an event. It will put clips in the timeline into a Project. It will not import music, effects, titles, etc. I forget whether it will ignore transitions or just convert them to cross-dissolves.
    All this is in iMovie/Help
