Making additional edits to completed project

Hi,
I am currently working on a documentary for school. I finished the documentary and then made a new project and copied and pasted about one minute of the documentary into that new project (I had to have a sample of my project as part of a class presentation). Now that that is over and done with, I need to make further changes to my original project However, when I open up the project, I get the completed documentary in the viewer and a blank timeline and bin as part of an "untitled project."
How do I get the entire project back?
Thanks

Well, that's your problem. You're trying to open an exported movie as your project. You need to find your Final Cut Pro Project File and open that one. It will show all your files and edits.
Please mark your question as solved, when you find it solved, and award helpful and solved points to those who have helped you.

  • I saved an iMovie to DVD and now I can't find the original working files in iMovie Project library to make additional edits. What happened to the files? Thx!

    Did you do the moving of the image file in the Finder or do you have a reference library as asked by Larry? In either case moving the files is a recipe for disaster as you've found out. You must either move the files back to their original locations or try to get those photos back into iPhoto as follows:
    1 - Find the folder you moved the files into and COPY it to the Desktop.
    2 - in iPhoto delete the photos that you're having the problems with as you normally would even though you can't see see them. Also delete all the photos that are in the folder you moved the other files into.
    3 - drag the folder on the Desktop into iPhoto to import them as one event. If you get a duplicate warning I'd let it import the duplicate and use Duplicate Annihilator to find them so you can cull out the duplicate you don't want.
    Other than that you might have to start over from scratch as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    1 - Move the existing library folder to the desktop
    2 - Open the library package like this.
    3 - Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    4 - Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.

  • Do I Really Need To Uninstall IMovie '11 to Access Completed Projects from IMovie '09?

    Hi everyone:
    What's Happening
    I would like to uninstall IMovie '11 so I can complete a project I spent hours (and hours) creating in IMovie '09.
    I am frustrated that IMovie '11 has deleted the project I had previously in IMovie '09, after I upgraded to IMovie '11.
    Immediately after I upgraded to IMovie '11 recently, I DID see my previous '09 projects still reflected, although I also noticed my IMovie '11 removed weird, random features (titles, mostly) during the transition. And it was very random - i.e., some of my titles were reflected; some HALVES of my titles weren't, etc. Just random.
    Noticing this and not wanting to miss anything I did with my completed project (which was already good to go, before the upgrade), I then tried uploading the last fully complete version of my project, as edited in IMovie '09. I went into my Time Capsule and just went back by a few hours and restored those project files. However, IMovie '11 not only did not recognize any of my '09 projects, it actually DELETED all of the projects it originally showed me when I upgraded. So now I was totally out of my project files!
    Therefore, if I want to edit that and publish them ASAP, it seems I have to literally:
    Uninstall iMovie '11.
    Reinstall '09.
    Restore my last completed '09 project file.
    Upgrade again to IMovie '11.
    This time, if I notice some titles are weird, don't try to bring any of my old files with me again. Just let them naturally show up as they did before, and literally fix and comb through literally every. single. quirk. or new error I see.
    My Question
    Is this really what I have to do in order to retrieve a project I already spent hours completing in '09? Or is there some shorter way to retrieve those files that IMovie '11 has dismissed and deleted?
    Also, does Apple know about this bug? Are they doing anything about it? Does anyone know?
    Any answers would be HUGELY appreciated!
    Thank you,
    DRS.

    Thanks for your reply, Klaus1.  I'm currently running Snow Leopard.  I'd considered upgrading to Lion but was told, even by Apple, that I wouldn't be satisfied with its slow performance on my iMac 24.
    I have plenty of hard drive space with 160 GB available on my internal hard drive, but I've been storing the archived video clips and the iMovie projects on a fire-wired, external 2 TB drive.  Could it be that using an external hard drive for the iMovie project is part of the performance problem?
    A quick check on the Apple website shows that my iMac 24, which was manufactured in mid-2007, can support up to 4 GB of RAM.  I wonder if I should consider a RAM upgrade before upgrading the entire computer.  How big a deal is it to replace RAM in the iMacs?

  • Complete Project Suite

    Hi,
    Please some1 help me 2 get the knowledge on the complete project suite modules names and there functionality in an organization....
    Do all the modules work standalone without depending on other modules??(for an e.g can i skip billing module and use substitute financial module???)
    as per my knowledge
    Project Foundation(Free module)
    Project Costing, Project Billing(combined called Project Accounting)
    Project Management
    Resource Management
    Project Collaboration
    Project Contracts?? is it a module??
    Portfolio analysis?? is it a module?? do oracle ve dis module??
    Project DBI??
    whatelse in project suite??? Please some1 help me who has firm knowledge on it....
    thanks a lot in advance.....

    Hi
    Project Suite includes:
    Project Foundation
    Project Costing
    Project Billing
    Project Management
    Project Collaboration
    Project Resource Management
    Project Portfolio Management
    In addition project oriented companies may use -
    Project Contracts (it is part of Contracts suite)
    Project Manufacturing (it is part of Manufacturing or Supply Chain)
    Projects OBIA (pre configured reporting solution which is part of OBIEE).
    What goes with what?
    You must have Project Foundation as basis for any project related application.
    Project Costing is a must if you want to track the project cost. It is also essential for managing capital projects. You can also budget using that product.
    Project Billing is an addition needed for contract project, if you want to generate and account for revenue, and for generating invoices for customer.
    All other modules are felxible and you can add each one of them separatlly.
    However, Project Collaboration is uaually used on top of Project Management.
    Project Contracts can be used as stand alone, but it is usually implemented on top of Project Billing.
    Project Manufacturing is integrated with Proejct Costing.
    DBI and Project Inteligence are "old" reporting applications, but it is not recomended to start any new implementation with those, since strategically, Oracle will not continue to invest in those.

  • Can I blend 2 completed projects into one?

    How can I tie a completed project onto the tail end of another completed project for export to you tube an easy way?
    I know the youtube export function; it's the idea of publishing back to back in one vid.

    I haven't tried this myself within iDvd alone since iDvd is not really a utility whereas Toast is. Not sure if iDvd alone allows for such a feature. My guess is that it does not.
    However, here's what is possible provided one also uses Toast 9 or 10. Simply use the merge feature within Roxio Toast 9 or 10 for two separate Video_TS folders (found within your iDvd) onto a single dvd. Here's how:
    Making a VIDEO_TS Compilation
    You can create a DVD by compiling multiple DVD-Video VIDEO_TS
    folders onto one disc and play it on a set-top DVD player or in a Macintosh
    or Windows computer with a DVD player.
    Some VIDEO_TS folders may be too large to fit on a standard recordable
    4.7 GB DVD. Toast can compress this video to fit on a standard DVD, or if
    your recorder supports dual-layer recordable DVDs, you can create a duallayer
    DVD-Video from this folder.
    This is the best choice if you have multiple VIDEO_TS folders that you
    want to compress on one DVD-Video disc.

  • IMovie 11 - can't edit an existing project

    Mac mini, OS X 10.7.5, editing in iMovie 11
    Two open projects, one completed, one in process. When I opened iMovie today the following occurred -
    Project in process "edit project" button not highlighted, neither project will play in viewer, clips from completed project will play in viewer with sound, clips from project in process have no sound.
    Tried repair disk permissions in disk utility but no change, have 97 GB avail on 500GB drive, can't figure out what happened - no recent power surges/outages, everything working normally yesterday.

    Answered my own question - I had just imported 2 videos to add to the project in process before I shut down yesterday. After trying a bunch of other fixes, I deleted both those videos and everything is working again. Probably maxed out memory or space or something with the extra data so I will be careful to only add small clips to this project from now on.

  • OOPS..... Editing a 720p project... now client wants SD instead... Help?

    OOPS..... Editing a 720p project... now client wants SD instead... Help?
    Hi all,
    I am fairly new into the HD edit paradigm. We shot a project in hd 720p to output as a 13 minute HD corporate video. Now my client wants a SD DVD instead. I have already edited the elaborate 13 minute piece in a 720p sequence (Complete with actors, green screen keying, animations from After Effects, and Titles generated in FCP.... yikes.
    How can I change the sequence to SD? If I make the straight change in the sequence settings, every image and clip gets short and pudgy. Any pointers how to make this change-over as smoothly as possible?
    Thanks a bunch.
    Matt
    Message was edited by: mabou

    No... yes... well...
    To MY eyes, I like the smoothness that the bitrate used in the 90minute uses. Again, to me, the 60 seems a bit too harsh.
    Of course I formed this opinion on older DVD players and TVs -- but I still stand by it.

  • IMovie 9 - Video is edited, shows the project clips, but won't play at all? Please Help

    So i've finished all the editing on my project, But now it won't play. The clips show on the project reel (left side) but doesn't show the video in the viewer on the right side. Space bar just sent the red tracking bar back to the beginning but won't play. Hitting the play button makes nothing happen, and playing full screen doesn't play the video either.

  • I cannot edit project in project server after editing it in project professional

    Hi
    i cannot edit project in project server 2013 after editing it in project professional.
    i.e I created an enterprise project in project server and then edit it with project professional. after i published it to the server and open it with project server, it shows the changes. but when i click on a cell, suddenly the task list and gantt table
    hidden!!
    it happens even if I start a project with project professional.
    I'm the admin user.
    what's the problem?
    Thanks.

    CU means cumulative updates, which are intermediate bug fix packages between SP. The latest CU for Project 2013 was release on September 12th. See reference
    here.
    Can you try to reproduce the bug with
    IE in compatibility mode?
    Hope this helps,

  • Can you edit an archived project?!?

    I have a wedding project archived through iDVD08. I want to replace one song in the Reception of the movie. I do not have my original iMovie files anymore due to file size and hard drive limitations.
    Does anyone know if I can re-edit my archived project?
    Thanks to all!
    Greg

    OK... the Archive is a package. Control-click on it and select 'Show Package Contents'. Then the path is Contents>Resources>Assets>av Your movie clips will be in the av directory. COPY the movies you want and paste them in a new location. DO NOT simply drag them out of the package!!!!!!!

  • Suddenly in the middle of editing a large project the cropping and other tools stopped working. Did i hit some key or something accidently?

    suddenly in the middle of editing a large project in Aperture the cropping and others tools stopped working. Did I accidently hit something to do that?

    Maybe you hit the "p" key?
    Then "Quick Preview" will be turned on and prevent editing. Hit "p" again or use the "View" ->"Quick Preview" menu entry.

    I am trying to open a preciously completed project mad eon premiere pro CC 2014. I purchased a new computer and downloaded the same premiere pro cc 2014. However when i try to open my old project it says the project was made on a newer version and cannot open.

  • Hello, I am editing my final project at university on Premier Pro CC on mac, but when I try to load my project in Premier Pro CC for windows on my home pc I get  "codec missing or unavailable".

    Hello, I am editing my final project at university on Premier Pro CC on mac, but when I try to load my project in Premier Pro CC for windows on my home pc i get  "codec missing or unavailable". Something to do with Apples' ProRes 422 LT codec. Is there a way round this problem?

    I just went to the Miraizon site, who has been the sole licensee of ProRes for PC, to see if their $150/license download was still at that price.
    This is what I found ...
    They only sell a few of their other products, and the ProRes/DNxHD codec package only generates an email form to "support".
    I'm afraid you'll have to transcode those files to something like DNxHD or an avi codec or something to work them via PC. And I'd thought about purchasing that codec pack from them but kept putting it off. Now, I wish I'd bought it. Ah well.

  • Validate profit center in complete Project Structure

    Hi PS gurus,
    I want to validate profit center in (complete Project Structure) Project definition, WBS elements, N/W Header and N/W Activities.
    •     Presently in the WBS Element there is a possibility to check (Project definition and WBS elements)
    PROJ-PRCTR = PRPS-PRCTR
    However I couldn’t able extend the same to N/W Header and N/W Activities (as shown below)
    PROJ-PRCTR = PRPS-PRCTR
    AND
    ACT01-PRCTR = PROJ-PRCTR
    AND
    AUFK-PRCTR = PROJ-PRCTR
    •     Also there is a validation for checking the “Consistency Check Project Structure” here I can able make the above customization. But I don’t know how to activate this (this cannot be used in Project Profile OR in Network Profile)
    So pls. through some light on this and suggestions will be rewarded.
    Regards,
    Harisha

    Hi,
    The validation rules customised to the project defination & the WBS elements can be activated in the project profile by entering the name of the rule & checking the auto validation button.. similarly the rules for the network and network activities has to be maintained in the network profile & this network profile needs to got assigned to the project profile.
    Hope this helps you.
