Import project from iMovie 10.0.1 in the Final Cat Pro X 10.0.9
How can I import a project from iMovie 10.0.1 in the Final Cat Pro X 10.0.9?
If the file before the project was in the ' Movies ' folder, now there is no such file. There's only ' Library iMove ', but no file that can be moved in the Final Cat Pro.
Thanks for your confirmation! It seems to me this is the situation after tons of research.....
I really don't understand Apple's logic/philosophy now.... in the new iMovie... it takes out the keywords which is extremely important to anyone with many clips. I don't mind to pay for the expensive FCPX but I am told that FCPX cannot migrate the iMovie library..... sigh....... what **** they are thinking....
BTW, it seems the "Send project to Final Cut Pro" function doesn't support sending even the "Event". It supports only sending project with the clips associated with the project. There is no way to send the clip without associated to project. Anyone can confirm it?

How do I Import projects from iMovie 11 to iMovie 08
Hi All,
yesterday I tried to transfer a project from imovie 11 to another mac with imovie 08. I have followed the procedure suggested for doing the opposite, such as from imovie 08 to imovie 11. As I'm writing here I did not succeed...
I can import imovie event folder and it was red from imovie 08 but when I'm pasting the project into the project folder of the computer with imovie 08 (copied previusly from the other computer with imovie 11) imovie 08 cannot see is it, and when I'm trying to import it from file>import an HD project it's seen from imovie 08 greyed out.
First of all: It is possible to do it?
Is that the right procedure to adopt?
hope it make sense and someone found already the issue so can answer me quickly
cheersiMovie projects are not down-wards-compatible.
to open iM11 Projects you have to use iM11. -
Importing project from ..... Ulead Media Studio Pro
Hi there,
I made a project in Ulead MEdia Studio Pro 7 (really, I did....), and I'm not satisfied with the results : the video is like a computer animated movie, and I see horizontal lines.
I'm told my Canopus Raptor RT doesn't work properly with Ulead, so I switched to Adobe Premiere 7 Pro.
Is there a possibillity to import the project (a whole day work....) into Adobe Premiere, or is that impossible.
Further : what would be the right settings for this 16:9 movie (PAL) to MAKE the final movie ? It is all digitally mastered, so I want a perfect result.....
Regards,
MarcoGLenn,
Good work, and there will be something extra in your Adobe payroll envelope.
The problem with the PrPro 1.5 to CS5 Mac, is that there was no PrPro 1.5 Mac version. With older Pr versions, say 6.5, there is not a platform limitation. Older (pre Pro) Mac Projects work fine in my PC. With the Pro introduction, PrPro 1.0/Pr 7.0/PrPro 7.0 (rather an anomaly), Mac support was stopped, until CS3. This created a gap, with ONLY PC versions, and no Mac compatibility. As Harm and GLenn pointed out, the only workflow is to take the older PRPROJ file (created on a PC), and Improt/Open - Save (essentially Converting it) in version CS3 on the PC, and that will allow a Mac to use the PRPROJ file.
This is when it pays to have friends on PC's, running PrPRo, so that they can do the Conversion for you. Baring that, then it's great to have folk, like GLenn, on the forum, who will do it for you. It's simple, so long as there is a PC, running CS3, or later, to get those Projects into a format/version, that the Mac can read. Time for some "bi-partisan" cooperation.
Glad that you got it to work, and happy editing.
Hunt
PS - one little caveat: There are differences in the Effects & Transitions, between the platforms, so a Project that was created in PrPro 1.5 (or 1.0, or 2.0), might have Effects, or Transitions, that do not exist on the Mac. Also, if one had 3rd party Effects or Transitions on the older PC, then those might show as missing, when the Project Opens on the Mac. In most cases, PrPro is very good at pointing out the exact location, and more details, where those appear. One can then just make note of the location, and go there to replace the missing Effect, or Transition, with one that does exist on the Mac. For me, going from Mac to PC, this process has been perfect, but I cannot say that it would be in all cases going from PC to Mac. -
Can you import video from dvcam using a dsr 2000 into final cut pro 10?
Can you bring video from a DVCam tape using a DSR 2000 into Final Cut Pro?
Should work OK with the iLink (a.k.a. Firewire a.k.a. IEE1394a) interface, but you may have to capture using iMovie, then ( in FCX) running File > Import > iMovie Events.)

Importing projects from iMovie HD into FCE HD?
Ok Guys, I know this is a pretty hot/touchy topic around here but I thought I would start a new topic as I am not even getting past step 1 as discussed in several posts and in the way that apple advertise!?
I am using the latest versions of both apps... 5.0.2 and 3.0.1. I follow the instructions as described in the manual (page 139) and FCE shuts down (quit unexpectedly)?
Also... how do i open the 'project/movie' in quicktime? do I have to do a massive export first!?
Cheers,
AlHey Tom, Thanks for the speedy reply!
I have a very basic project with a title sequence (8secs) and about 7 mins of edited video sequences in the time line from which I have extracted the audio. (so, a title sequence, 1 video track, 1 audio track). It contains no unauthorized material and no music, iTunes etc.
The reason I want to continue my project in FCE is that i want to utilize more video and audio tracks than iMovie can handle... and I'd rather not start again because I have already made about 50 edits which would take a while to redo.
Surely I can take my existing iMovie timeline sequence and import that into FCE. I am going to redo the titles/text, so it's only the video (and audio from the video) that i want exported.
Is this in anyway possible?
Regards

Can someone please help me?
I am trying out Final Cut Pro X on a 30 day trial. So far so good.
I am now trying desperately to import a project from iMovie 11 (version 9.0.9) into FCPX.
I have read multiple posts on this subject and they all recommend File/import/ from iMovie project in FCPX
However there is NO such option under File/import in FCPX - nor is there an option to export to FCPX in iMovie 11
Can anyone please enlighten me.The current version of FCPX does not work with that version of iMovie. You need version 10.0.3, which allows you to send a project to FCP.

Hello!
I have a problem with my final cut express. I want to import my project from iMovie (multiple clips in one project) without the clips together as one big clip.
Important: XML-from imovie
This had worked before but one day a note showed up at the screen saying:
If i choose yes the project becomes one big clip and if i choose no this error shows up:
and the project wont be imported.
Help me please! This has never been a problem before.
Sorry for the bad english, i am from sweden.
Thanks! //Karl EkdahlHello!

Importing clips from iMovie HD to FCE4
Hi. Have read with interest a couple of questions on this same issue, with the advice from Tom Wolsky seemingly being to not mix the two applications and just get stuck in with FCE. However, i'm finding FCE difficult to like/get to grips with. But more importantly, after attending some Apple onetoone sessions, it seems my Canon camcorder might be a little long in the tooth and there may be some tape slippage as I was getting time code errors when trying to import directly to FCE. The fix seemed to be to capture the footage via iMovie and import to FCE using 'show package contents' route. Having now though imported some footage from a second tape, I have some of the clips showing as Offline for some reason. Is the trick to import clips from IMovie as per Tom's suggested route on 9/8/08?
I import video from my camera into iMovie 4, because that is the last version of iMovie, I believe, that was capable of flushing unwanted video off the hard drive, and I can bring an entire tape into iMovie, trim it down for FCE, and then get rid of the unwanted footage. iMovie 6, like Final Cut Express, is a nondestructive editor and can't erase unwanted footage from the hard drive, and as you know, video uses up hard drive space FAST. To get rid of discarded edits, you either have to use iMovie 4 or Final Cut Pro.
iMovie is also much easier to import video into than Final Cut Express, with all the latter's complicated controls. With iMovie, you just plug in your camera, iMovie then says "Camera Connected," and you hit Play and Import. Stone simple. Also, in iMovie you can hear the audio as it comes in, and if I remember right (it's been a while since I did it in FCE), you can't hear your audio tracks as your video imports into FCE. Not a big deal, but an annoyance.
Once the video is in iMovie, then I cut and trim the video to get rid of all substandard/unwanted stuff, and then Empty Trash, which erases the unwanted video off the hard drive, saving mucho space over the course of a project. Otherwise, you're just stuck with the unwanted video, and all it does is fill up your hard drive. Then you export (or "Share," in iMovie parlance) your video from iMove as a QuickTime movie, and drop that QT movie into Final Cut Express's Browser. Then create your FCE project from it.
The only objection I have ever seen to this procedure is people complaining that their QuickTime movie from iMovie has to be rendered in FCE before FCE can use it, and this takes a bit of extra time. Well, that's true, unless you export your video from iMovie in a form that FCE can use natively. Then it doesn't need to be rendered at all--it's just as though you had imported it from the camera directly into FCE. Most people don't know how to set up iMovie to do that.
Here's how I do it: (this is iMovie 4; I assume other versions are the same), Select Share > QuickTime and choose Expert Settings. On the next screen, select Export: Movie to QuickTime Movie, and click the Options button. In the Movie Settings window that this brings up, on the upper (video) part of it, under the Video checkbox, click the Settings button there, and for Compression Type choose DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, and under Compressor Quality, move the slider to Best, and click OK. Under the Sound checkbox, click Settings, and then choose Linear PCM, Stereo, and 48.000 kHz for Sound Settings. Under Render Settings, choose Qualty: Best. Just below that, uncheck the "Prepare for Internet Streaming" box. Then click OK, and the window will go away, and you're ready to export.
Give the video a name, and a place to save to, then click SAVE. The QuickTime movie that results from this can be dropped straight into FCE and requires no rendering; it works just as though you had imported it directly into FCE from your camera.

Importing movies from iMovie 6
I followed the instructions in David Pogue's manual "imovie '08..The Missing Manual" but with no results.
I export the movie project from iMovie 6 in QuickTime, however when it appears on the desktop it is in the .mov format, not Quicktime.
So when I try to import it to iMovie '08 the project is on the desktop, but is dimmed.
I then tried to save the desktop movie (save as) in Quicktime, but the same thing happens. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.If you have any intention of creating DVDs from those projects, according to what I've been reading, don't do it. Use iMovie HD 06 and iDVD 09 to create your DVDs.
I've read that iMovie 09 is fine for posting videos online because of how it treats the export but 06 is the way to go to create content to be viewed on a TV.
I've read about this on these Apple boards and these boards: http://forums.macrumors.com/forumdisplay.php?f=80 -
Importing clips from iMovie - jittery
Just got Final Cut Pro 5 and I'm having a problem with importing clips from iMovie into FCP5. The clips were fine in iMovie, but the images are jittery in FCP. I tried Apple Care, but they wanted to charge me $200 to answer my question eventhough I just bought the software yesterday!
any ideas most welcome - thanksNowhere is it advertised that iMovie is compatible with FCP.
One is a consumer format, with less features, like lack of timecode. The other is a professional format, which relies heavily on timecode.
Yes, output to tape from imovie, then capture with FCP.
#20 Using iMovie to Capture for FCP edit
Shane's Stock Answer #20:
iMovie handles the media differently from FCP, specifically where audio is concerned. So it is not a recommended workflow. Here's why...
iMovie captures using DV Stream (.dv) standard which does not use timecode. That is a big disadvantage over the way that FCP captures in that you can't go back and recapture the material at a later date if you need to revisit a project.
The DV/NTSC specification (the one FCP uses) also calls for seperate tracks for audio and video, even if you capture it as one clip. iMovie' DV stream format is muxed audio and video, which means that they are tied together (I can't get into specifics because I ain't no engineer or programmer). FCP is a bit more demanding and captures the seperate audio/video tracks, either in a single media file or as seperate video and audio files. With FCP you could capture video only or audio only because each is defined by the DV specs. while with iMovie you can't.
Also, if you drop the iMovie footage into the timeline, your will get the RED render bar forcing you to render the footage in order to see it...

Thanks for the reply with additional details.
In order to help you with the Elements Organizer 13 and Premiere Elements 13 issues, we need details of that video from iMovie.
You should be able to get the important details of the iMovie video by telling us the export settings that you used for the iMovie export.
Minimum information..
Video Compression
Audio Compression
File Extension
Frame Size
First, update Premiere Elements 13 and Elements Organizer 13 each to the 13.1 Update (See Help Menu/Update in an opened
Premiere Elements 13 project.)
We will be watching for further details in order to plan and carry out troubleshooting strategy.
Thank you.

Imported video from iMovie has no audio
I created a project in iMovie '09 (from a video and audio imported from a camcorder) and exported it to iDVD '09 (using share, iDVD). However, when I opened the project in iDVD the video had no audio. Does anyone know how to export a project from iMovie to iDVD with its original audio?
Hi
Don't use "Share to iDVD" (in any version of iMovie)
BUT
• "Share to Media Browser" and as LARGE
(Not HD or other resolutions)
(only Medium can be used if Large fails (done that occational to me))
• Then - START A Brand New iDVD project and in this use the Media button (down to the right) and Movies and from here import Your movie.

Can't import Project to iMovie
I dragged a project out of iMovie to the desktop, but can not figure out how to import it back to the iMovie event or project.
After I dragged it from iMovie, I deleted the project from iMovie but now want to import it back into iMovie.
The desktop icon ends with ".rcproject".
When I open the desktop icon, it shows Project, Proxies, & QuickLook.
When I open iMovie and try to import the project, it shows on the desktop but is dimmed.When source clip is missing, it usually means you have moved, deleted, or renamed the Event folders which are used by the Project. It could also mean that you have moved, deleted, or renamed some music or photos that were used in the project.
The solution is usually to move them back where they were.
You can think of iMovie as a database. The Project is a text file in hexadecimal that contains the paths to the event clips that are used, as well as in and out points, titles, links to music, links to photos, etc.
The physical clips are kept in the Event.
If you move stuff around in the Finder, the project does not know where to find it.
If you need to move Events or Projects, follow the instructions here.

I can't burn a project from iMovie to a dvd why?
my mac didn't have idvd untill i instaled it but when i try to burn a project from imovie, the dvd doesn't work on any other computer what can i do?
What are you using to burn the movie to DVD? If you are using Finder, it will not work on other DVD players (not sure about other computers). In order to work anywhere, you need a dedicated video burn/authoring application such as iDVD, Roxio Toast, Burn, or many others you find by googling.
Oops - I missed the fact that you said you installed iDVD? So did you use that or Finder? -
