New iMovie help??

The new iMovie doesn't mark which pictures I have in my slideshow... any ideas on how to enable that preference?

I'm not a fan of movie trailers myself, they are nice but not really what I would have liked added to iMovie.
Personally I hope they abandon adding anymore features to trailers, and add better audio tools to the main editing system.
That said, iMovie iOS is what it is, a simple portable edit app that does a reasonable job.
I think trailers are just simple templates that are not made to be complex or too customizable.

Hi - just using the new iMovie for the first time - apparently there should be a sidebar containing tools like "Content Library". Not on mine - even in Window view, Content Library features like text etc are all greyed out - obviously it's me - help?

Sorry - I should have added that I have imported a Quicktime movie, originally created as an iPhoto slideshow.
I want to create rolling credits at the movie end and apparently you can only do this using iMovie - can you help please?

Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it?

So is there anyway I can change it? I thought that if I bought it the apps on my macbook, they would be avaliable on my imac like the mobile devices operate. The macbook has 10.6.8 cause its a older model and I think lion would slow it down. Any help??

Just redownload it on the other computer by logging into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase it.

Problem importing video from a DV camera into the new imovie 10.0? I have a Sony DCR TRV17 connected via Firewire port that worked in 9.0.9 but not under 10.0...

I have a Sony DCR TRV17 that I used to pass through VCR tape video via Firewire port to my Mac Pro under Imovie 9.0.9 without an issue. Now under Imovie 10.0 the video shows in the import window, I can start recording yet when I stop recording the recorded clips do not show up anywhere. The movie file I'm creating still indicates that I still need to import video. Anyone having similar problems?

Hey Dave,
I had this issue only once before but was lucky enought to find it was a specific event causing the import to freeze. It took me some time to isolate the problem though. I would recommend letting it sit there for some time before you try any troubleshooting. Larger libraries can take long periods of time to update.
This is a good thread for this issue. I would first try removing the iMovie.plist as elikness mentions.
1. Open Finder
2. Click on "Go" in the menu bar.
3. Click on Go To Folder on the dropdown menu.
4. Type "~/Library/Preferences/" in the text field and click Go.
5. Find the com.apple.iMovie(some number).plist file and move it to Trash.
Quit and relaunch iMovie to see if this took care of the issue before attempting the next step. If you're still having an issue then you can try what I needed to do which is isolating the problem event.
1. Open Finder.
2. Go to the Movies folder. You should see iMovie Events here.
If you have a larger event library I'd recommend renaming the iMovie Events folder to say, "iMovie Events COPY". Then create a new empty folder named “iMovie Events”. When you launch iMovie 9.0.9 all events will be missing at this point. Quit iMovie if it is open. Then you can either drag each event from iMovie Events COPY to iMovie Events or you can select and drag several at a time. Each time you drag an event folder back into the new iMovie Events folder launch iMovie 9.0.9 to see if you are having the same issue. Wash and repeat until either you have found the problem event or you have imported all events.
If you find the problem event you can reimport the clip from iMovie 9.0.9 by going to File > Import > Movies and navigating to that events iMovie Original Movies folder to find the clip.
Hope this helps!

How do you compile movie on new iMovie app?

I have been a user of the prior iMovie software. I now have the newest version and am puzzled since when compiling a new video I cannot figure how to save it into a file which I can burn to a disk which will play on my standard blu-ray player. When I complete a video in the new iMovie and click on "Share" and select "file" is saves a file in my computer but the file will not play on the DVD. How do you go from the compiled video in iMovie and get a burnable file which will play on the DVD? (If I click on this file to open it, it will not open.) Is there some other software which is necessary? Thank you for any suggestions? I did download "Quicktime Player 7 Pro" into my utility folder, but I can't see how this helps.

Top menu> imovie> preferences> General> Show advanced tools.

Where are old iMovie files that were in "Movie" favorites before I got new iMovie and Mavericks?

Just installed Mavericks and bought the new iMovie. Looked for labled finished movies folders that I had kept in Movies on my HD favorites on OS 10.6.7, but that Fave doesnt exist in Mavs. Where can I find the labeled folders with all their working files? Some unlabeled files do exist individually in All My Favorites but seem of little help without labels.

I meant "All My Files"

Is there a tutorial on how to run the new IMovie version 10?

Can someone direct me to video tutorials on how to operate the new IMovie inside Maverick. As has been the case recently with Apple, this update isn't necessarily user driven. Help please.

There's some info in iMove->Help:

Cannot open my old mov. files with new imovies 10.0.3

I went to open a .mov file I wanted to re-edit and only Quicktime was given as an option. I've tried to create a new event with the new imovies and that isn't happening either. How to do either of these simple things would be appreciated.

The new iMovie is only going to accept certain formats and codecs. You should re-export or re-save your movie files from QuickTime to a new format. You may notice a "(converted)" in the title bar of some of your movies as they are opened in QT. QT is now converting movies into more "acceptable" codecs as it loads them into memory.
After export, they should be acceptable in iMovie.

Can't create new iMovie 11 project

When trying to create a new iMovie 11 project, I get a dialogue box with the following, "Cannot create project. Please check the disk to ensure there is enough free space and you have permission to write projects." I have a 2009 Macbook Pro, am running OS X 10.8.2, and have 316 GB of free storage space.
Based on what I read on previous threads, I did the following (not necessarily in the order listed):
I selected the iMovie icon and "Get Info" under the File menu and changed the setting to indicate that I have "Read & Write" permissions for the system, wheel, and everyone.
I went to the finder, selected the "Go" menu and held down the option key to open the "Library." Under "Preferences," I selected "com.apple.iMovieApp.plist" and deleted it.
I restarted the computer.
After numerous attempts with the above, I reinstalled iMovie and repeated the same steps.
Still no luck. Am I going about this incorrectly? Is there something else I should be trying?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

I had this same issue after installing Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP and Zend Server CE. I installed as admin but the document root (/usr/local/zend/apache2/htdocs) did not have the admin user with Read & Write permissions.
In case it helps others, this is how I got it working:
Opened Terminal and typed:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
I could then see the hidden /usr/local/zend/apache2/htdocs folder. I right-clicked it and selected Get Info. Under Sharing & Permissions I then added the admin user with Read & Write privileges.
To return Finder back to not showing hidden files, issue the same commands but with FALSE.
It might be worth investigating how to configure Zend Server CE so that the document root is not in a hidden folder. Flash Builder for PHP will let you explore your output folder in the Package Explorer, but you will need to have hidden files visible to see them in Finder.

What's up with this new iMovie?

I have been trying to use the new iMovie for the first time and am finding it very user UNFRIENDLY! You can't edit the tex size/color in many titles, you can't slow down title frames, and many more things that have been causing me grief. The Help section with the program is almost useless and certainly not up to the quality I expect from Apple prodcucts. I know the product was free but it doesn't seem to be any better than iMovie 11 that I was using before and now don't have. The tutorial for iMovie 11 was excellent and walked you through all of the editing and enhancing capabilities in the program. Apple needs to get a tutorial out or I will have to go back to iMovie 11!

Have you looked at the online help:

The old version is still available on your computer in the Applications folder, inside a folder called iMovie 9.0.9

Voiceover in new iMovie lacks major low frequency and general quality?

Anyone else observing that voiceover in the new iMovie on Mavericks sounds remarkably different?
Me: recording voiceover with the built-in mic on an early 2013 macbook pro - compared audio with previous old iMovie/mountain lion, quite a large difference. Audio previously sounded admirably rich and decent for a built in mic, but now sounds faint, tinny, missing serous low end. I've messed with the new equalizer features for voiceover - the 'Bass boost' setting certainly helped, but it overcompensates and sounds muddy in comparison to how the previous audio was.
Haven't tried using the mic in other applications to see whether the problem is local to iMovie - curious if anyone else has noticed this?
On the plus, the new interface suits me much better, and for some reason rendering movies seems to be taking about 5 minutes compared to previously 5 hours? Ok I'll take that.

I have the same problem. Just tried using iMovie 13 for the first time (have been using FCE). My microphone is a Blue Yeti, which gives superb results in FCE.
Does anybody know what's going on?

Hate the new iMovie how to I revert to the old version?

loaded movie clips thinking the new iMovie with updates would be better than the pervious version....WRONG!!! New version is much more difficult to use. How do I revert to the old version??? HELP!! My job depends on getting this video together my MONDAY!! YIKES!

The install of iMovie 10 doesn't remove the previous iMovie version 9 or any of its files.
Look for it in your HD/Applications folder.

How do I migrate my old iMovie video files into the new iMovie software version?

When my computer recently updated to the most recent software version, specifically the new iMovie software, all of my past iMovie files filmed and saved under the previous software became 'unplayable' in the new iMovie version. How do I import and update the old files to make them playable and part of my iMovie library?

You have to upgrade your iMovie 9 projects from iMovie 10 before you can use them. See:

I have video files on my desktop that i want to put into the new imovie 10. I click on import and try to click on desktop but it wont let me. Thanks for any help you can give!

Are you in your user account?
In the Import window you'll see a Desktop folder at the root level of our drive. You don't want that one.
You want the one in your the folder for your user account.
