Moving video from event library

How do I move my movie from the Event Library to the Project Library so I can upload it to web?

Pardon me jumping in Winston.
Melinda, you first have to create a _new project_. You don't drag to the Project Library, you drag to a Project. To create a new project, go to the Menu then select File>New Project.
You can also create a new project by clicking on the + sign at the bottom right corner of the Project Library window.

  • Moving file from event library to project library

    Here's my situation. I have a slideshow as a .wmv file (I used Flip4Mac to view in QuickTime); used QuickTime Pro to save it as a .mov file. I imported it into iMovie so I can ultimately save it on my iPad. But for the life of me, I cannot seem to get this file into the Project Library to export it. Can anyone help? Am I missing a step? (That's an obvious question, I must be missing something, since I cannot export.)
    Thanks for any assistance.
    ~Marian

    You may have done this already, but you need to use QuickTime Pro to convert the wmv file to an iMovie capable format, like h.264 or Apple Intermediate Codec. I say this because an MOV file can also contain uneditable codecs.
    Having done that, you import the mov file into an iMovie Event.
    Next you must create a new project and give the project a name.
    Then you can select a clip or a portion of a clip or multiple clips from the event and drag it to the Project window. Then you can edit as desired and when you are done, use the Share menu.

  • Copying or moving video from your Event Library to an external hard disk

    I have a Network Drive where I'm used to putted all my iMovie08 files.
    I'm start using iMovie09 and i'm no longer able to have my *files/library in a network drive*. Did apple remove this functionality? If this is true this is unbelievable because now a days everything goes to network storage. On iTunes i can have my library virtually anywhere. I need to have the same behavior when i'm using iMovie.
    Can someone help me?
    with my best regards,
    Paulo

    Copying or moving video from your Event Library to an external hard disk
    If you want to save space on your computer’s hard disk, you can move your stored video in your Event Library to a compatible external hard disk connected to your computer with a FireWire or USB 2.0 cable.
    You can also copy Events to another hard disk. You might do this, for example, if you want to create a duplicate copy of your video library or an Event on a friend’s hard disk.
    NOTE:When using an external hard disk with iMovie, make sure it has been formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    - If i understood correctly, the solution you propose will replace completely my hard disk library with NAS location.
    - What i need (because when i'm travelling i dont have my NAS) is to have both. My hard disk library and the ability to copy/move (drag & drop within iMovies09 ) events and projects to my NAS at my description as i use to do on iMovies08.
    And yes all my NAS locations appears with and yellow flag on iMovies09.
    best regards,

  • How to delete video from iTunes library? del and shift+del are not working - no any reaction

    how to delete video from iTunes library? del and shift+del are not working - no any reaction.

    Hi
    Currently, iMatch is turned off on my computer, as I do not want to upload any more songs. If I turn it on, will it upload all songs that are currently in my library? Is there another way that deleting them one by one?
    You must enable iTunes Match on the new computer. The best way to accomplish what you want to do is to create a new, empty library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key (Shift on Windows) and choosing "new library." Do not let iTunes scan for new content, but do enable iTunes Match on the empty library. Once the scan is finished you may delete tracks from the cloud. When you are done switch back to the main iTunes library.

  • How do I move files from Event Library to Project Library?

    How do I move Files from Event Library to Project Library? I tried drop and drag, that didn't work. I am new to Apple. I have always had a windows box b4 this. If anyone can help, please do. Thanks
    Alain

    welcome argardner to the  boards..
    you're missing the concept of iM .. you don't move 'files' from Event to Project Library.. Events is the big box of all your imported clips; now, from that box of bricks, you drag the clips into all kind of projects.. you can 're-use' the same clip again'n again in many projects.. you can use all clips of all Events in one Project.. or all clips of one Event in two projects.. or..
    spend some time here:
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMovie08_GettingStarted.pdf
    the concept of Events & Projects, Clips and Libraries is at first glance very different to 'normal' editing apps, but you'll get convenient to it within minutes..

  • How to copy/export a video clip from event library to external hard drive?

    Can you help? Can you export a video clip from the iMovie Event library to a hard drive

    You can "daisy chain" FireWire devices. Plug your IF into the Mbook, and plug your external disk into the IF (it has two ports...), or do it the other way around, whatever seems to work best.
    The whole chain will be as fast as your slowest device, and I think the FPod is FW 400, so the disk will also operate at that speed. Many people work like this on their laptops, and it works fine. Better than USB.
    Don't use USB for it. USB needs CPU and is in general less efficient in handling audio. Daisychaining FW-devices is the way to go.

  • How to take clips from Event Library and put in separate event folder?

    (I looked in iMovie Help menu but found no help.)
    I recently did a file transfer from my Sanyo HD2000A which was a large accumulation of clips taken since last spring 2010. This was my first upload.
    Now I have a lot of clips organized by date by iMovie '11. There are various categories of these clips, and one of them is +"Ducks in my back yard swimming pool."+ Another is a huge number of clips taken over time of three baby sparrows in the nest outside my window. It is a progression of how they are fed by their parents and how they grow and leave.
    My plan is to get them into their own folders, filed by time/recency, and then pick and choose from those two folders/categories during the making of a movie which includes them along with other little adventures.
    Question: How can I separate all of the duck clips and the sparrow clips so that they are each in their own folder and not spread out in folders organized by days?
    =L

    Lorna, I think I understand better now what you are talking about.
    So on any one clip, it will be ducks, or sparrows, but not both.
    You can create a folder in the Event Library called Ducks and another folder called Sparrows. These must be in the Movies/iMovie Events folder on your internal drive, or they must be in the iMovie Events folder at the top level of an external drive.
    Go through your current Event folders. Drag the duck clips to the duck folder. Drag the Sparrow clips to the Sparrow folder. I would do a MOVE, but if you have enough disk space, you could do this as a COPY until you are sure that all works as you intend.
    The next time you open iMovie, it will generate thumbnails and cache for these new Duck and Sparrow events. The events will be placed in the Event Library in the month of the most recent clip, even though the clips may span several months.
    If all goes well, you can delete the prior events. If there is footage still in them (that is not sparrows or ducks, for example), you could delete the thumbnails and cache folders and let iMovie regenerate thumbnails and cache after it opens.
    Also, Tom's advice about not moving or renaming anything you have already used is very appropriate...
    If you have already created Projects using this material, this will break the links in your projects. (Unless you did a COPY rather than a MOVE above and left both the old and new folders intact.)

  • Cannot drag video from event browser to Project Browser

    I have been using imovie 09 for some time now, and i have only just overcome the problem of the random sound glitches when you slow clips down to anything but the default speeds. I have been making music videos with clips from movies i've uploaded from dvds.
    Previously I have had no trouble at all with this, but just yesterday I tried to make another music video. I am able to create a new project, but when i try to drag video clips from the event browser and drop them in the project browser, the little green plus sign appears but when i drop the clip in there it doesn't do anything. But if I go to the project library, my new project is there and it says that the video clips are actually in there. Also, the video preview display on the right will playback the video in the event browser but it won't play the sound. How can I fix these problems and why would they only have surfaced now?

    Thank you so very much!!!!  I know I will get this but hey, I am 70 years old - I sure hope I get it soon   Make sure "skimming is switched on" was wonderful.  Why doesn't Lynda even mention this?  UGH!
    In terms of dragging the clip; I am taking it from upper left hand corner of the screen which I believe is called the Event library and taking it down to the middle of the screen.  But in the middle of the screen is the daggone audio wave file and all I am doing is putting that clip on top of the audio wave file and when I play, I get both audios! 
    I remember working in iMovie 09 and iMovie 06 you would drag your clips down into the time line and do your editing there.  That doesn't seem to be working here.  I appreciate your help more than I can say.  I've got to get a DVD out ASAP and it has to be done in FCP X 

  • Moving videos from iPod

    Hi everyone. I know that moving files from the iPod is a common topic on here. I have CopyPod that works fine for audio, but I'm trying to move some video files, and they're not showing up. I have to move them off because the computer they are on is no longer available to me, and I have a legal right to these files. Does anyone know of a program that will work for moving video files?
    Thanks!
    ~broadcasterchick

    There are two ways I know of:
    1. Load iTunes on the new / replacement computer and log into your iTunes account (actually click on your AppleID and use your password to confirm it is you). Then sync and iTunes "SHOULD" prompt you telling you there are "Purchases" on the iPod that aren't in your Library (that is if you bought them from the iTunes Store). Then it will ask you if you want to copy them into your Library.
    OR
    2. You can search for one of the many FREE programs available that allow you to fairly easily copy to and from your iPod without the use of iTunes.
    Either one has risks involved, but you should be able to choose the best option for your own circumstances.

  • How to delete video from iTunes library

    Hello, I've only had my ipod for a few weeks now. I've finaly figured out how to rip dvds/encode them, etc. During this trial and error period I was putting all kinds of junk in my itunes library.
    My question is how to remove videos from my itunes library.
    ..one more question.
    I've been using a dvd ripper and video converter made by Xilisoft. After I import the movie from my pc to itunes video library and ipod, I've noticed that the audio doesn't match up with the video. Its like watching a poorly dubbed kung fu movie. Has anybody used Xilisoft software and had the same problems? If so, what did you do to recify the problem?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    self-built   Windows XP Pro  

    OK, I finally figured it out. I still don't have the clear option available. I had to double click on video, highlight, then press delete.
    I'm curious why I don't have a clear option like I do in library.
    Oh well, at least I can delete old files from my itunes now.
    Thanks for the quick responses.

  • Moving images from one library to another; or how to have 2 libraries open at the same time in Aperture 2

    This may be something easy but for some reason I am having a hard time figuring this out. Basically this is the situation: I have a library on my MBP hd that I import pictures to when I am not hooked up to my external hd for the time being. The main library is of course on the external 2tb drive. How do I have 2 libraries open so that I can essentially drag and drop the pictures from one library to another? It would basically be like moving files from one project to another. Thanks for any help!

    Always keep a backup of your original images, before you delete them. I make a backup right form the card, before I even import them to Aperture.
    How are your images stored right now? Are the referenced or managed? On your big volume I'd consolidate the newly imported images, to be sure they are really inside the Aperture library before I delete any images outside the library.
    but they have the little yellow triangle caution symbol on them and I can see them but not really edit them
    That is a very typical problem, when you imported your images as referenced images then somehow delete or move the original master image files, that are stored outside the Aperture library.
    Do you still have the original masters of the images with the yellow triangle that you cannot edit? In Aperture 3 you can point Aperture to the location of the master image file "File >Locate referenced image" - probably Aperture 2 has a similar command to let you reconnect your masters, if you still have them. Look into the manual.

  • External Drives Missing from Event Library

    My external drives do not appear in the event library. Only my system drive. Specifically, the external drives show up when the project is launched but they disappear almost immediately.
    I know there was a problem with time machine drives doing something similar but this is not the case here. My drives are correctly formatted and have never been used for TM.
    Oddly things were working fine until the program got hung up on launch and I deleted the prefs (HUGE mistake)
    Since then, I have deleted preferences and reinsatlled the application twice to no avail and restarted. Program launches, I see the drives, then they vanish.
    I am at a loss.
    Thanks for your help.
    Running FCP X 10.0.3 on 10.7.2 with 16GB of RAM.
    Thanks

    We have seen problems when there is a folder on the root of the drive named "video" or some other name that makes FCX think it is a camera card and not a drive. If so, rename that folder and restart FCX.
    Of course, you probably know that the drive has to be formatted MAC-OS
