Just bought FCP, there is no option import imovie project...help!

This is my first contribution to these discussions.
I just bought FCP.
In my trial version there was an option under file>import>import imovie project
But in the bought version there is no such thing.
How is this possible? Can anybody help me, because I would like to import an imovie project.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Luis, thanks
I guess I have to explain a little more.
I got a new computer.
Old computer was backed up via Time Machine.
I was working on an imovie project in April and I would like to continue now, but this time finish it in Final Cut Pro.
The Imovie project was created in version 9.0.8 and it seems impossible to open it in the newest version (10.0.2) that I also have installed. It doesn't even want to open in 9.0.9. The only way I can see it is by opening the oldest version of imovie.But the project has been changed somewhat and I cannot work on it anymore in this version.
The changes are no problem, I can fix them, but how do I export it into the newer versions is a mystery to me.
So...maybe you are able to give me some tips as how to open this project in the newest version?
Because then maybe I can export it to FCP.
Thanks

    Get the Apple USB Superdrive. It is available on the Apple store page of the Apple web site. Just look under storage on the left hand column under accessories for the Mac.  $79.  I have one since I have a lot of DVD's and CD' s. I burn DVD's made from movies created with iMovie.  Works fine. You may be able to find one cheaper at Other World Computing.
    BTW, you can expect that future computers will not have optical disk drives. This is definitely true for Apple and I suspect other mfgrs will also as we move more into streaming video and downloading of apps rather than selling CD/DVD versions.

  • TS4268 I've tried the listed troubleshooting procedures to activate Facetime and iMessage, but no luck. Are there any other options? If it helps, I'm currently overseas and only using WiFi to connect.

        lovethoseleaves,
    Oh no! I am saddened to hear that you are having troubles with your MMS pictures. I know that this can be an important thing to be able to do. I appreciate you working with us to get this matter resolved as well. I see that you have spent time working with us, and I know that can also be frustrating. There are a few things we can check though. Are these to any specific numbers or all? A factory reset certainly should've resolved this. We can check into the account set up as well for that if need be. Please share any additional details that you can think of. Thanks.

  • Is there a way to import a project from iOS iMovie 2.0 to OSX iMovie 10.0.3?

    Is there a way to import a project from iOS iMovie 2.0 to OSX iMovie 10.0.3?
    I can get the project file on my MacBook desktop, but can't find a way to import it into iMovie 10.0.3

    No you can not.
    You can connect USB 3 components to you MB if you wish to use them but will only run at USB 2 specs.

  • Does FCP import iMovie projects?

    does FCP import iMovie projects?

    Thanks, Tom Wolsky and Whiteshirt, for confirming my suspicions. I've always liked iMovie 6 for its simplicity, but I guess I'll have to get up to speed with FCP X. I like the multicam feature. Now, if they'd only include chapter markers in the next update.

  • Final Cut Pro X crashes when I try to import iMovie project?

    I have a large iMovie project that I am trying to import into FCP. Every time I do (FILE -> IMPORT -> IMOVIE PROJECT) it starts to import, then crashes without warning, giving me a crash log report.
    I am able to import another smaller iMovie project just fine, but the one I actually need to import doesn't work.
    Both projects use video clips from the same event library.
    Any ideas? Or in a backwards way, any ideas on how to recreate it in a fresh iMovie project to import into FCP? (I've tried duplicating it in iMovie and it crashed on import too).
    (...I understand why there have been so many complaints about FCP now.)

    Figured it out! After almost 24 hours, I cracked it
    Let me give you a bit of back story...
    I had an iMovie project that I had built on my Macbook. I just got a new iMac and installed FCPX on it. Was hoping to do some more professional alterations to the project.
    So I consolidated the project in iMovie, copied it along with the files to an external hard drive, then transferred it over to my new machine.
    Every time that I would try to import the newly copied project, it would get a few seconds in, then crash with no error message... just a crash report.
    I was able to import a smaller project that used some of the same videos, so I knew that it wasn't a codec issue or something like that.
    Then, through the process of trial and error, I figured out that when I had consolidated the project on my old machine, it didn't truly consolidate the files that I had used. There were a handful of still images that I had used in a different folder on my computer. So I copied that folder to the same path on my new computer, tried to import, and just like that, problem solved.
    I guess FCPX doesn't know what to do when something isn't exactly where it's supposed to be. Hopefully in the next software update, they'll alert the user what the error causing it to crash is so that others don't have to waste nearly a day troubleshooting for one obvious (oops) mistake.

  • Final cut pro x importing imovie project

    I have iMovie '11 and am trying out Final Cut Pro X's trial version.  Final Cut Pro X will not successfully "import iMovie Project."  Two things happen: 1) It starts the import of the iMovie Project but only reaches the point where it shows video outline in dark grey with no acual video imagery and 2) shuts down Final Cut Pro X with a follow on option to "Report, Ignore" to Apple.  I've reported it, but would like to know if anyone is having the same issue and if there is a fix.  I have just the Trial Version to see if I wish to buy, but if functions are not working properly I won't buy it.

    I have the full version and I can't get iMovie '11 projects to import into FCPX.  I have tried everything I can think of.  The import progress bar starts, then it crashes.  Anyone with instructions on getting in it please help.  I am migrating stuff to my new MBP and the iMovie stuff is recognized by the iMovie on the new MBP.  The iMovie events did import into FCPX fine however.

  • Imported iMovie project missing elements in FCX

    Okay so we can import iMovie projects, why are most of my transitions, all audio and theme pieces missing in the FCX project?

    Strange. I thought FCP X was fully compatible with its younger sibling, iMovie. Maybe it can't read any file format properly. But I'm sure there's an update on the way in a year. Or two.

  • Final Cut won't import imovie projects with stills

    Final Cut is importing iMOvie projects that just consist ov video clips, but some of my iMovie projecys have been complied form stills (jpeg and png files) that have been imprted into iMovie.
    It seems to me that stills are treated differently to video in iMovie, the images are imported directly into a project, not the event folder, but in FCP images are imported (and viewable) into the event the same as video clips.
    Is this the reason that FCP crashes when I try to import these projects I wonder?
    (I can post a crashlog if it helps)

    This is happening for me also. Will import simple iMovie projects, but crashes every single time with a more complex iMovie file; it may be the inclusion of stills. I am using the 30-day Trial version.

  • I want firefox to remember my ID and password on certain web pages. There is no "Option" tab in the Help section (like on my PC) where I could go to Security and checkmark the Remember Password box.

    I would like a window to appear when I log in on a web page to ask me if I want to save my password.
    Also, why is there no "Option" tab on the Help menu in the Mac like it is on my PC?

    After first closing the site's browser window, I cleared the cookies with no problem.
    Next, I opened up the page that is causing my problem. The Microsoft Security window opened up as it should and it was blank.
    The option of whether I was using a public or a private
    computer was blinking on 'public' as it should and I changed that to 'private'.
    The lines for 'Domain/Username' and 'Password" were blank, as they should be at this time.
    I entered whatever I had to on these two lines, then clicked on "log In". At no time, however, did the Firefox toolbar at top of screen (picture file attached) appear and ask whether to remember that password. Yes, the page now opened - and we are back to Square One.
    I am aware that when entering the URL in the address box, a dropdown box opens and contains quite a few URLs identical to the one I am entering just now, or at least connected to pages of the same site.
    I am wondering whether that is what's messing me up? But how can I clear these entries of "websites visited in the past from Firefox's memory?

  • Just bought iworks and the serial number is not working. help!

    just bought iworks and the serial number is not working. help

    How did you buy iWork (no 's', capital 'W')?
    If you downloaded the trial version earlier, and have since purchased a serial number, iWork will ask you for the number the first time you launch one of the iWork applications after the trial period ends.
    If you bought a retail box, or bought the individual applications through the Mac app store, no serial number is needed, but if any part of the trial version is still installed on your computer, you'll get a request to enter a serial number before proceeding.
    In the last case, you must delete all traces of iWork and it's applications (but not the documents that you have created and saved), then reinstall the purchased versions from the DVD or from the app store.
    For the simplest and most efficient means of deleting the trial version, go to Yvan Koenig's iDisk, then to:
    for_iWork > iWork 09 > uninstall iWork 09.zip
    Unzip the file, open with Script Editor and run.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Hi can you help the sound is not working on my Mac I have went into settings and there are no option for interal speaker help

    Read the documentation at the links.  They won't hurt your data. 
    Basically smc reset is shutdown, pull your plug for 15 seconds, plug it back in, wait 5 seconds, and reboot.  Harmless to you.  Resets the smc.
    Pram reset is similar but you need to push commnd-option-P-R after the boot chime.  Read what does.

  • Can I re-mix audio by importing iMovie Project/Events to FCP X, and mixing in a pro studio?

    This needs a little backstory: I edited a promo of Select Scenes from a doc that I shot on a Canon SF105 HD, doing a quick job on iMovie for my website. I did the best I could as both an amateur mixer and using consumer software. The audio "mix" is horrific, of course, and being old school film, I need something a whole lot better. It was suggested by a pro edit studio (& friend) that I might IMPORT the iMovie Project & Events library to FCP X, and using these "mix elements", they could use their system (probably AVID or a hybrid) to do a proper mix. They would then lay back the track to the picture. They don't use FCP X, but again, with separate sound tracks, they might be able to do  something of it. Am I dreaming?

    If the project is in a recent version of iMovie you might be able to. Clean up the iMovie project of all extraneous transitions, effects, and titles, and any DRM audio. Download the trial version and give it a shot.
