Just updated to 10.4.11 - Clips keep on moving into iMovie trash

I've just applied some updates (OSX 10.4.11, Quicktime 7.3, iTunes 7.5, iPhoto 7.1.1) and now I'm having a very perplexing problem with my iMovie HD (6.0.3) files.
Here's my workflow:
-Cut out unwanted footage
-Extract audio
-Import multiple image files
-Save file
Here's my problem:
When I reopen my file, iMovie states that there were some stray files found in my trash yadda yadda. I look into the trash and I find my original unedited clip. I don't empty the trash and go into timeline. Only the inserted images and the extracted audio shows up. It also doesn't maintain any of cut out clips that I left in the "Clips" area. This happens with another one of my iMovie files that I was working on earlier today. Basically, now I have to quickly finish all of my edits and additions, try not to quit iMovie, totally ignore saving, and then burn it with iDVD. I can do that, but it's disconcerting that I can't save and return back to my file without having to redo everything again.
I'm not sure what is going on, but I'm inclined to think it has something to do with the 10.4.11 update. It's also extremely annoying that everything was fine an hour ago.
I've been planning to move to Leopard (I'm an IT Analyst and I get a free copy), but I want to finish these last few projects before that. It'll take too much effort to rollback to 10.4.10 (make a backup image, reinstall 10.4, etc.).
So just to confirm my suspicions, have any one else been having the same problem after upgrading to 10.4.11? I know that I may be an isolated incident. Also, if anyone has a solution, then that would be fantastic.
Thanks.

All I can add is to say that it is really important not to update anything in the middle of editing a project...but you have already found that out-right?

Log out of the old ID, then login using the new one with the correct pw.

You are going to have to download and install iTunes on the computer. Your iPhone is in recovery mode. See this support document for help with that. If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

How do I reload my video clips that I recorded into iMovie?

How do I reload my video clips that I recorded into iMovie? My project is there but my original iMovie videos are gone which does not allow my iMovie to play. The screen is black. I need Help!

Please have a look at my post at:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5649660?tstart=0
where I describe what files should be present for iMovie 9 to work for someone else with a similar problem. They must either be in the users Movies folder on the start up drive or at the root level of any other partition or connected external drive.

Did you get this device 2nd hand?

I have just updated my photoshop cc, but now when I go into filters it does not show my Topaz or when i go to automate it does not bring up my Perfect photosuite 8

I have just updated my adobe cloud programmes, but when I am in Photoshop cc 2014 it now does not bring up my Topaz Filters or my Perfect Photosuite8, any ideas please

As a workaround, I placed shortcuts from my Topaz plugins in my old CC 64bit plugins folder, in the plugins folder of CC 2014 64bit. The plugins seem to work ok in CC 2014. Note that CC 64 bit itself is uninstalled but the plugins folder remains.
I know this is not good practice but it works and I'll stick with it till there's a solution from Topaz or Adobe. The advice from Topaz so far was not helpful.

Movie clip won't import into iMovie.

Hi
Ok at the risk of sounding like a complete dumbo...
I have a JVC Everio G 30Gb Hard disc camcorder. I can't get my clip to import into iMovie. All I get is the following message...
"The file could not be imported: The file “File Name Here” can’t be imported; QuickTime couldn’t parse it: -2048"
Can anybody help or know some way around this?
I sorta figured that like iPhoto, where you can pretty much download from any big brand digital camera, it would be the same with iMovie.

Hi iMovieNewbie - welcome to the forum!
Many people have your ailment!! The problem is that your camera records in MPEG2 format which is really not compatible with iMovie. iMovie's native format is DV, which is designed to be a no-loss, editable format. MPEG is really just a viewing format.
There are workarounds, but they involve converting MPEG into DV, for which you will need:
MPEG StreamClip (free):

and
Apple MPEG2 PlayBack($20):
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/

H.264, Clips from EyeTv3 going into iMovie.

So when I export my HD clips from EyeTv3 using the format H.264 and play them back on VLC they're fine. No jitter at all, perfect. Then I import my clip from my desktop to iMovie (Not optimising the video), again it's fine, no jitter. Then I export my movie by clicking "Share, export movie, I choose HD, and I look at what it is and it says it's 'H.264, 25 FPS, 10 Mbps" but in EyeTv3 my settings are 13.5 Mbps and 59.94 fps." I don't know if this effects it? But after I've exported my clip has this jitter. I think I have to change some settings in iMovie because everything is fine until iMovie, PLEASE HELP.

It sounds like you need to keep the frame rate the same from the EyeTV source files to iMovie. If one is 25 and one is 29.97, you will get the jitter.

Clips do not load into iMovie Project Browser

I have imported a full feature Creative Commons movie into iMovie to edit for a short music video. It downloaded in MP4 format and originally loaded into the Project browser but would not let me split clips. I've tried converting it to .MOV in MPEG Streamclip and now the clips don’t even show up in the Project Browser. I see the clips in the Event Browser but they will not load into Project Browser. I've tried converting it to .MOV in Quicktime where I was able to split a clip. I then tried to import that whole movie file into iMovie but it won’t import. What am I doing wrong?

When I have the iMovie Library (with the sub-file which iMovie-generated titled of “2015”) selected in the Sidebar the clips show in the Event Browser window but not in Project Browser window. The sub-file to “2015” is my movie name. When I select this file, the Event Browser goes black with white-lettered words: “No clips found.” There are no clips in the Project Browser as well.

Hello Meg, the phone allowed me to stay on long enough to download a new app but then shut down the app centre and returned to the home screen.
Was there a specific "fix App" for this?

HT4623 Just updated my Iphone5 and voice control keeps popping up

Maybe I need to enter my itunes card into computer?

Just updated to 5 on mac, but keep getting message to restart with 32-bit. Why? Never did this before!

when trying to send email on hotmail or opening certain video files, a yellow message bar appears at the top telling me that this needs to be restarted with 32-bit processing and asks to restart. Most of the time it opens the same pg, but sometimes it goes back to the first page on site. Either way, I have sent emails w/ and w/o restarting with out any problems. it is just ignoring!

Thank you for you input so far.....
I think we are getting nearer to the solution sort of!
Let me get this straight...... I have paid for content on itunes, bought the apple devicds in order to play said content, now I have to subscribe $25 for the privilage of playing MY library content on MY other devices. Which wasn't such an issue to do before the new and improved itunes version!!
Have I got that correct. I think I cannot associate my other iOS devices with my library because I am unwilling to pay further through the nose!!!??? or am I missing something?
Thanks
Frustrated even more now!!

The volume for music clip that I drag into Imovie 08 can't be reduced.

I have dragged several audio tracks over to my video that I am editing. Everything was going fine I was able to reduce the volume to the percentage I wanted then suddenly all the tracks on my video are playing at 100%. I check the audio information and it is set at a lower percentage. Just to experiment I set the volume at 0% and it still plays at 100%. This has happened before but all I needed to do was restart my mac and it was fine. This time it didn't work. I have spent several hours setting up the audio on my video it would really suck if I had to do it all over again.
I don't know why people say Macs have less problems than PCs. Mine doesn't.

thanks for the link but unfortunately it doesn't help. I think my IMovie 08 might be corrupted or something. Because nothing can reduce the imported audio track's volume. I might need to take it to back to my store and ask them to have a look at it.

I just updated premier pro CC 2014 and it keeps UNEXPECTEDLY crashing. Is it a bug?

Hey!
Just updated PP CC 2014 and it keeps crashing. It will only work fine for a couple of hours. After I bring two or three clips to the timeline. BAM! Crash! I have a major deadline and all I keep getting is the UNEXPECTEDLY SHUT DOWN window or Application is Not Responding. Im only handling FULL HD material on a 2012 MacBook Pro.

The main cause of crashes on Mac recently has been that OS X set the permissions for certain folders to read-only. Please consult this thread: fixing permissions problem that impedes start of Adobe applications | After Effects region of interest.
