Moving Project from iMovie 7.1.4 to iMovieHD (6.03)

I am trying to work on a project that was started on an iMac with OS 10.5.4 and iMovie 7.1.4
and now I want to bring it onto my Mac Work Book Pro wich is running Mac OS 10.5.5 and iMovie HD 6.0.3
Part of the problem is that the files were sent 1st via DVD, the files came up as folders wich even my mac could not read.
then we tried compressing the iMovies projects into .zip files inorder to upload via ftp server
this enabled me to download the files but still as a folder full of items. not your standard imovie file.
I tried tricking iMovie by changing the file exension of the folder to something iMovie would reconize but it still would not open project.
in any case can anyone suggest a way for me to get these files from one computer to another. I am deeling with a client in Texas and needless to say I cant just jump on a plane and fly over.
thanks for any help

iM08 and iMHD& have a very different way of file manangement..
the only way to 'swap' projects is to create a 'consolidated' single quicktime file - in iM08: 'Export ussing QT..' , choose dv-stream for Standard, AppleINtermediate for HiDef projects..
as said: that consolidates the project; e.g. you can not 'correct' titles, erase disolves, fade audio parts etc.
so, you have to keep in mind, what should be done in the other app, BEFORE editing.. e.g. if you like to use iMHD6 as 'effects machine', transfer only the clip you want to process - after adding effect, re-import that into iM08 to integrate into project.

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • I am trying out Final Cut Pro X and trying desperately to import a project from iMovie 11 (version 9.0.9). There is no export to FCPX in iMovie 11 nor is there import from iMovie in FCPX.

    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.

  • Is is possible to take a finished project from iMovie 10, and move it to iMovie 9?

    Here's the deal. I've got a finished iMovie 10 project. I want to move it to iMovie 9. Here's why. In iMovie 10, when I shared it to Media, I didn't see any drop down to select the quality. i.e....like in iMovie 9....1080p or 720p or Large or Medium. It just did it on its own. I'd like to take this iMovie 10 project and move it to iMovie 9, and share it to Media Browser again, so I can choose a smaller size, so it will fit where I want to put it.
    Of course all this is moot, if someone can tell me how to share to Media Browser in iMovie 10, at a smaller level than 1080p or 720p. I'm at a complete loss here. Your help would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Steve

    Hi NSHS VC,
    If you would like to export a lower resolution version of your project from iMovie 10 (2013), you may want to try exporting it as a QuickTime file. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Trouble moving projects from one computer to another

    In the prospect of clearing up space, I am moving projects from my hard drive to an external.  In order to make sure things are moving properly I open up a project from the external onto another computer, different from the one I moved the projects off of.  When I open up the project, part of the original footage (.MTS file) does not show up in the timeline.  The blue rectangle that represents the footage is striped.  When I open up the exact same project onto the original computer from the external everything is fine.
    Also, when I was opening up a project from the external to the other computer the "Locate Media" pop up appears wanting me to link all the media, but all the media has been checked off, as if all the media has already been found.  Why does it do this?
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Hi Josh,
    Check this out: Moving projects to another computer: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS1BF3BAAB-A930-44e3-8DFA-50D5C58A1A1Aa.h tml#WS3D22F379-B6C7-4d8c-9548-26AA3E1EA74F
    Likely you have some of the MTS file structure missing. The best way to move projects, IMHO, is to use the Project Manager.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • Problems sharing project from iMovie to iDVD

    I understand that in order to share my project from iMovie to iDVD, I must go to Share > iDVD. I did this, then began adding a main menu and other details to my project in iDVD. Then I went to view the project. I discovered some errors I had made while editing the project in iMovie, so I quit iDVD and went back to iMovie to make the corrections.
    After I fixed my project, I went back to Share > iDVD to discover that iDVD had been grayed out. I have already tried:
    1. Restarting the computer
    2. Duplicating the project
    I have the latest versions of all the software (just bought my MacBook over the holidays). Help, please.

    Hi,
    I am having the same problem with imovie - did you ever resolve this problem?
    Thanks

  • 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
    cheers

    iMovie projects are not down-wards-compatible.
    to open iM11 Projects you have to use iM11.

  • How do I copy an iMovie project from iMovie 11 to an SD card

    How do I copy/export an iMovie project from iMovie 11 to an sd card on an iMac?

    In iMovie, use SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE in the size that you want, and then specify a name and location that you can find, such as on your desktop.
    Then, in the Finder, drag the movie you just made to the SD card.

  • What is the current thought on moving up from iMovie?

    Which software is the next best step moving up from iMovie?

    Download the 30 day trial of FCPX. Take it for a spin and see how well it fits your needs.
    Some people call it iMovie Pro because the interfaces and terminolgy are similar. Moving to it from iMovie might actually be easier than coming from a more traditional editorlike FCP or Premier Pro.
    Good luck.

  • How to import a Project from iMovie 09 to FCPx

    im having a bit of trouble imprting my project with all the edits and sounds and titles to Final cut pro x and i wondering what is the correct order to import it. and the project is on a diffrent computer than FCPx, does that matter?

    All the media can be seen with iMovie and Quick Time. If I import individual clips (Import>Files) from the iMovie Event folders into FCE they can be opened and played. It seems the process of the XML Translation of an iMovie Project and importation into FCE is the central problem. I revisited the FCE Video tutorial on importing from iMovie and I believe I am following the correct procedure.
    I do have the video clips on an external disk and the imovie projects have to be on the internal disk - could this be an issue.
    Also I don't know anything about "scratch disk"s - I saw on one post that there could be a problem there....
    Thanks for your help

  • Moving project from one VSO to another VSO and transferring ownership

    Hello,
    I want to understand if we can move a project from VSO owned by one company to VSO owned by other company.
    also is there any risk of moving and any data would be lost?
    Is there any procedure that i need to follow and take care
    Kindly assit.
    Regards
    Abhijeet 

    Hi Abhijeet,
    If you want to move team project from one VSO account to another VSO account, then you can use the tools that Vishal mentioned above. If you want to move Visual Studio projects under team projects to another VSO account, then you can unbind Visual Studio
    to source control and add to team project in another VSO account.
    For changing the VSO account ownership, you can check this
    page for more details.

    I am trying to move a project from my flashdrive into IDVD and
    it is not working.

    Is your "project" which is on your flashdrive an export from an iMovie Project?
    You have to export/share the project ( iMovie 8,9 and 11 )  before you can use it in iDVD .
