Mono Sound after opening an iMovie HD-Project in FC Express HD

I captured HD-Material in iMovie. There it works in stereo. Now i just got mono sound after opening my iMovie HD-Project in FC Express HD. If i play the timeline, the sound of my HD-Clips is mono, all track-settings seamed to be on default mode. If i click one of the clips in the browser-window, i can see and hear the clip in the viewer in stereo. So the clip-material must be okay. Rendering the movie clips and audio clips in the timeline doesn't work. Connecting the clips with the original bin, doesn't work too.
I need help! Could you help me?

That's not right. Stereo here means the same sound split between two channels. When you open it into the viewer you see two audio waveforms in one display. They can be different, but they don't have to be. Dual mono means you have two separate tracks with different sound coming out of each speaker. In dual mono you have two separate tabs, one for each track, each of which can be controlled separately and have separate audio. That's the default capture condition for FCE. If you have separate tracks of audio in iMovie, two mono tracks attached to the video, they may not be preserved when they come into FCE. Do your clips have two separate, mono tracks of audio in iMovie? What happens to the clip when you open it from the browser into the viewer? Is it two mono tracks, or a stereo pair?

Opening an iMovie 8 project in iMovie 6

I swear I saw on this board a while back instructions on how to open an iMovie 8 project in iMovie 6. I need to do exactly that to fix the audio quality, but every time I try to import it, an error window pops up informing me that Quick Time couldn't parse it. Can someone please help me? This final project is due on Tuesday and I'm getting antsy. Thanks.

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).

Opening an iMovie '08 project in iMovie HD?

Does anyone know if it's possible to take a project that was created in iMovie '08, and open it in iMovie HD?

How to open previous iMovie 09 Projects- don't appear in the Project Pane!

I have a lot of iMovie 09 Projects that I have done but they no longer appear in the Project Pane. They are still on my external mac-formatted hard drive, but I can't get them to open in iMovie. I remember moving them to my external hard drive within iMovie at one point and I have a bad feeling I might have removed them from iMovie so they wouldnt slow it down... All the events are gone as well, but still reside on my external drive.
How can I re-open older projects once they don't appear in the project pane any more? They are still in the designated "imovie projects" folder on my hard drive...
Thank you

if you have multiple hard drives like me they may be there, but are hidden until you hit the triangle next to the hard drive your projects are stored on. once i did that they "magically" appeared...hope it's an easy fix for you too

Project Crashing In 8 after Opening a Logic 9 Project

Hi guys
Major hassles this morning and I hope you can help...heres the lowdown:
I was doing a really good project in logic 8, and then a colleague gave me a logic 9 file to open and check.
I opened the file and logic gave me the usual "do you want to close / save" current project which i did, then opened up the logic 9 file.
When I had done with that, I closed logic down and attempted to open up my logic project I had been working on and it opened fine, but the media player on the right was now showing Event details and when i tried to do anything at all it crashed logic totally and keeps doing so.
Does anyone know what i can do to get this back up and running?
Thanks so much in advance

CC 2014 closes after opening/starting a new project.

So i called Adobe about this problem on Friday and after an hour and a half of trying stuff, it was all for not.
we ended up getting disconnected, and i didnt feel like calling them again.
once i open Premiere Pro CC2014 all seems good till i try to open a Project or start a new one,
it just immediately closes with out letting me do anything.
The Custmer Support guy tried:
- Reinstalling it.
- updating my graphics card.
- removing some files.
- making a new user on my computer.
all of which didnt work...i really hope that i can get it up and running soon ><

Are you on Windows or Mac, and exactly which operating system version?

I can't open my imovie '9 projects on my new lap top which uses imovie 11'.. previous lap top was mac book osx 10.5.8.. new one is mac book pro 10.6.6.. any help out there! i'm pretty useless at this stuff, might be really simple???

which uses imovie 11'.. previous lap top was mac book osx 10.5.8.. new one is mac book pro 10.6.6.. any help out there! i'm pretty useless at this stuff, might be really simple???

Thanks for nothing, as usual, Apple.
I had to redo the whole project from scratch on Windows Movie Maker.
Now I know which brand to trust on my next purchase.

Trouble opening iMovie v4 project in iMovieHD 6

I just tried to open an iMovie 4 project in v6. I agreed to have it convereted, and up it came with no errors. The clips are all there in the right order and length, and the music is in place. However, the clips are like ghosts. Just black with no audio.
It should be noted that I recovered this project from a failing hard drive using Data Rescue II. However, I did import the entire project folder. Any ideas?

Karl,
Thanks very much for your reply. I tried to keep it simple, but here's the details:
I was able to successfully recover an iMovie v5 project and open it in iMovie v6. The v5 projects appear as just one file (correct?), which probably helped out a lot in this case.
I'm still recovering files intermittently from this dead hard drive (on an iMac G3). So, I haven't had a chance to try to open in the v4 project within iMovie v4. I will do that after I've recovered all desired files, replaced the hard drive, and re-installed Tiger and iLife (according to your suggestion, I would do well to install iLife '04, not iLife '05 on this iMac).
This brings up the next question. Some of my previous movies were created in iMovie v2 or v3. It sounds like your advice is to open them in the oldest possible version of iLife. Is that right? Or, otherwise you suggest that I move the Quicktime movie file from the old projects into a new folder and then open it that way. How does that work with this apparently streamlined iMovie HD project file?
Lastly, a short description of my experience with Data Rescue II. It has performed superbly for my situation. Based on the last message this iMac displayed before crashing, I think perhaps my hard drive simply lost the ability to write. But, it appears to have retained the ability to read, so I've been able to recover all the files that I've wanted to so far. I believe that I was lucky. Data Rescue II is great because there is a free demo on-line that allows to see and scan your injured drive. If you can't, you don't buy the software. Very good idea!
Thanks again for your help.

"Ken Burns" imovie 06 project opened in FCE 4

Opening an iMovie 06 project in FCE 4 works great, except I'm confused about still photos to which I had added the Ken Burns affect to in iMovie. In FCE they still move as expected when just viewing the timeline, but when I open up Motion tab for an image in the Viewer, there is no Scaling or Centering listed. I thought maybe FCE converts photos to movies to maintain the effect, but they are still just JPGs.
How are these images moving, if there is nothing changed in the Motion tab!?
I'm hoping to make some quick Ken Burns effect slideshow in iMovie and then do more editing in FCE...
Thanks!

I have no chance to test it now on my Mac, but it seems strange to me that FCE can convert Ken Burn effects from an iMovie project into FCE Motion keyframes. FCE more likely imports an already rendered motion clip from iMovie. Probably it also imports the original JPGs, but the clip you are viewing in the timeline is more likely a clip where the original Ken Burn Effect cannot be modified.
In any case you can do a simple test: create a test iMovie project with a single image, apply the KB effect to that image, import that project into a new test FCE project: it's then easy to check what is and what is not imported.

FCP crashes immediately after opening

I have been editing a movie for a couple of days. From time to time FCP stopped loading immediately after opening. Today FCP crashes immediately after opening ("...reading project" and stop), but now it refuses to open whatever I try. Some other movies open without problems. The recent movie is well saved. It's about 15 minutes, I work with FCP 3.5.1. Any suggestions?

Thanks for reacting so quickly. Unfortunately it didn't help. I trashed preference files, repaired disk permissions. The 'Kenstone' suggestion doesn't work because the movie does not open at all. All my other fcp movies open flawlessly, so the problem clearly is in the file, not in the app or the mac. I see no other way to reopen it (not accepted in imovie or QT). I back up all my projects on an external disc, but unfortunately only once a week. I'm afraid i have to restart the project from scratch.

Imovie 4 project.

I opened my imovie 4 project into 6HD. But all the video appears to have been squashed up leaving a white band at the bottom? Is there a way around this or I'm I going to have to start again from scratch?

Hi Chris
A. Main advice - Don't change working environment during a project.
B. If You can restore Your miljoe then download Your project to a new
miniDV tape. Import from this into the new set-up.
Yes You lose Your specific editings but You get Your movie as is but now
as a new serie of clips.
or
Start all over.

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.

Opening Garageband Project In Logic Express

I have successfully opened / saved a garageband project in Logic Express and everything seems to have come over fine. In the arrange window, the 'Input' button is highlighted on many tracks (the button next to mute, solo, etc.). Should the 'Input' be selected or de-slected? It seems like its automatically sending it to a Bus. Any suggestions / basic ground rules?

Well, the Input monitoring button activated live input monitoring. So, if it is activated (and you have selected input monitoring in the preferences, of course), Logic will pick up any audio signal coming in via the selected inputs and feeds it into the channelstrip, even if it's not running. You can also play along without recording. Recording, however, activates monitoring either way.
Maybe you have an open mic, which might produce feedback or other disturbing noises. Turn off input monitoring (and disarm record, of course) to mute the live input monitoring.
Basically, only the channels you need to hear should have Input monitoring activated.

Project file will not open in iMovie

My son started an Export and stopped it without allowing it to finish and his project file disappeared from iMovie. After using Finder, I'm able to find his project along with the my other projects. But when I do a "right click" and select "Open with iMovie", iMovie opens up with all my other projects except that one. If I do a "quick look" I can see the beginning of the video clip. Please help as he's spent weeks working on this video.

I guess there's not a solution since nare a response since I posted this.
