Hi! Thanks!
But it diddent work..
The strange thing is that I have all my pictures from my photo library and all of my tunes in IMovie, but not an single movie (captured with my Iphone, and placed in my photo library). I thought that they should be showing below "events"
Is it so that I have to import all my videos to IMovie? And have them on twice places? That don't sound like Apple

How to Import iMovie v9 Projects/Events to iMovie v10

I had a heck of a time finding info on transitioning from the previous version (v9.0.9) to the current version (v10.0.7). One of the problems I was having was getting the new version to recognize my old Projects and Events. After some digging here and elsewhere, I figured out what was wrong and how to fix it.
In my case, I had provisioned iMovie 9 to keep the Events folder on an external hard drive while the Projects folder was on my iMac's internal drive in the Movies folder. Don't ask me why they were separated; I can't remember why I did that or even if it was a mistake. Whatever the reason, it caused trouble when it came time to upgrade.
iMovie 10 keeps all the Projects and Events in a single Library file. By default, this Library is placed in your Movies folder on your Mac's internal hard drive. During the initial installation, iMovie will ask if you want to import the old versions Events and Projects. You can opt to do it right then or wait until later. When you do attempt to import these files, iMovie 10 will look in the Movies folder for the previous version's iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folders. If you have both of these folders in their default position, the new iMovie should be able to immediately import the files by copying them to the new version's Library. The old files will remain in their folders and will be useable by the previous version without any problems.
If you have the previous version's Projects and/or Events folders somewhere other than where iMovie 10 expects to find them, you may encounter an error when you try to import the old files. Even if the attempt fails, iMovie 10 creates extra files inside the old folder that prevent a successful import if you try it again. You'll need to look inside the old iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folders for a file called "UpdatedToiMovie10" and delete it from each folder. (In my case, I deleted these files from any drive that had these folders, not just the internal hard drive.) Restart iMovie 10 and select File > Update Projects and Events... to restart the import process. As long as the new iMovie Library is in the same folder as the old iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folders, this should proceed without a hitch.
If, like me, your old projects and events were stored at least partially on an external hard drive, you should consolidate them onto a single drive. DO NOT do this from the Mac's Finder. Move the projects and events to the drive where you want them by dragging them in iMovie 9's browser. Hold the Command key while dragging to move the files instead of just copying them. (If you copy the files instead of moving them, you'll have duplicates on both drives. It's not a problem, but the files will take up at least twice as much space on your drives.) Once the files are located where you want them, you can quit iMovie 9 and re-attempt the iMovie 10 import process by selecting File > Update Projects and Events...
I hope this helps anyone else having this issue. I also hope that anyone who can see where I've explained this incorrectly will please post a correction as a response.

iMovies are not designed to be viewed in iPhoto. You should watch your movies from iTunes. You can SHARE/To iTunes and your movies will be in iTunes. From iTunes, you can watch them on your Mac, on your Apple TV, or you can sync to iPhone, iPad, iPod. You will also be able to access them through the Media Browser in Keynote, Pages, GarageBand, Logic, and iDVD.
The only movies that should be stored in iPhoto are short, unedited clips taken by a still camera. iMovie can edit them without taking them out of iPhoto.

In IPhoto I changed movie dates after thumb nails were created in IMovie but the new dates are not showing up in IMovie. Is there someway to refresh the IPhoto event in IMovie?

Background: I'm transferring file folders from a Visa laptop via an external hard drive to my IMac. In the folders are photos and videos from different cameras. SO I first tried to import to IMovie but it would not recognize any of the files. So then I imported into IPhoto and both photos and videos were imported and I created events for each folder. When I first opened IMovie I had to wait for it to create "thumb nails". Then I could view the events in IMovie BUT the video clips are not together because they have vastly different dates and are mixed with videos from other events. I looked at the dates and said I can fix that in IPhoto which i did but those new dates are not showing up in IMovie. I think I need to somehow refresh the event data that Imovie is using but have not found how to do that in either IPhoto or IMovie.
I'm doing this on three events with about 100 photos and videos. But I have many 1000s more to do so need to know how to either fix this or delete these events, reimport, change the dates, then open again in IMovie. I'm sure that would work but I can't understand why changing the dates in IPhoto is not being reflected in IMovie.
Appreciate any tips or pointers.
OBTW this is my first question as a first time Apple owner.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

How can I separate a clip in an event in iMovie'08?

how can I separate a clip in an event in iMovie'08?

Hi iCat,
Can you provide some more information about your current implementation so that we can help to answer your questions. Some questions I have for you are:
Are you creating this project in the NI LabVIEW Web UI Builder or in LabVIEW?
How are you publishing your webservice? Is this also in LabVIEW?
How is your webservice interacting with an OPC-UA server?
How is the certification set up with OPC-UA so that you can communicate between the server and the client?

Has anyone found the solution to the missing iPhoto library event on iMovie'11?

Hi, I'm having problem of finding my iPhoto movies/events in iMovie'11. I recall seeing others had the same problem. Wondered if this matter is solved yet, perhaps I can use the solution

Are the iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folders needed?

I'm using version 10.0.6 of iMovie and moved some of my projects to an external HD using File > Move Events to Library. I noticed in my Movies folder in my home directory that the related project folders under iMovie Events and iMovie Projects weren't moved. It seems that these are left over after upgrading iMovie and that it just uses the iMovie Library and iMovie Theater bundles. Can the iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folders be safely deleted?

Yes they can be deleted if you have moved all the projects you want to work further on to iMovie 10, have checked that they are working OK, and are happy with switching permanently to iMovie 10. (There's no going back).
On the other hand if you leave them you can still use the earlier version of iMovie.

Time to reject events in iMovie?

I have about 40min of HD events in iMovie '11 that I rejected. It has taken an hour and they are still not in the trash. Is this normal? No other app is running and MacBook is plugged into power.

When you reject videos in iMovie they are not moved to the trash. You may have noticed a red line along the top of the clips you have rejected. That is there to well, tell you they are rejected. To DELETE an entire event, reight click on the event name in the explorer window and click "Move Event to Trash." To delete just a clip, select it and hit the delete key.
Hope this helped!

Merge Events Crashes iMovie '11

I have been searching to an answer to this problem for months. I organize my iMovie events by month, which involves a fair amount of splitting and merging events. Back in the August/September, 2012 timeframe, I could no longer merge events without iMovie '11 (9.08) crashing every time. It starts just fine, sets up the merged event, then just quits. No forum of any kind has discussed this same kind of problem. I had not, as far as I can tell, made any changes to my configuration betwen when this worked and when it didn't.
I have an iMac, 20-inch, Mid 2007 running OS X 10.8.2.
Things I have tried:
1. Checked memory (I have 4GB, so no issues) and hard drive space (also no issues 302 GB available).
2. Reloaded iMovie. No change.
3. Reloaded Mountain Lion. No change.
4. Moved two events to an external drive and then tried from there. No change. Still crashes.
5. Looked at all of the other causes for crashes of iMovie and took those steps (deleted plists, ivx, etc...). Nothing works.
I just can't find any relief from this problem. Nothing I do seems to have even the slightest impact.
Has anybody has this problem and/or know how to fix it?
Thanks!
Ted

I am not entirely surprised this isn't considered a known issue. I was unable to find any evidence of others having the problem, at least until you posted this morning. I was really relieved to see I am not alone, although I am sorry you are having the same frustrations.
I did report the error to Apple on at least a dozen occaisions with a fully annotated error report each time it crashed. Or maybe 12 out of the 50 crashes. I can readily reproduce the problem, and moving the movies to another drive didn't change the behavior.
I ended up spending a few hours reimporting all my video since August, 2012, and now everything is aligned properly. And I'll continue to do the same workaround going forward. But I would like the program to work as designed.
It is now a known issue since you reported it? If not, is there a way I should be reporting it as well?

How do I export an event in iMovie so it can play DVD player.

How do I export an event in iMovie so it can play DVD player? I am trying to export to a DVD in DVD format without any success an event from iMovies. I was only able to get it to export to my desktop as a .m4v file. The movie of my daughter I need to export to DVD so it can be sent as a DVD to people and played on a DVD player. Any assistance you can provide would be helpful.

When you preview the image from the save for web dialog box, it will open your browser to see the image. It also will have the necessary html code needed for the links to work. Just copy that html code and add it to your email code with the image.

Adjusting the date of events in iMovie '09

Hi,
Before I state the problem I want to make it clear that the two video events in question are of personal family events and NOT anything else (why else would I be raising the issue of adjusting event dates) - so please no post that relate to any copyright issues because there are none!!!
I recorded two family events on a hard drive camcorder that had a USB only connection.
At the time I was using iMovie 6 HD with Tiger which was firewire only, so I transfered the video to the hard drive of my DVD recorder because the camcorder was needed for other things. A few weeks ago I discovered that the recorder was having problems so I recorded the two events to DVDs.
Last week I upgraded to Leopard and iLife '09.
I downloaded a program from Apple.com's download section to import the events into DV format and then I imported them to iMovie '09 yesterday.
Of course, now the events are showing in iMovie '09 with yesterday's date.
Is there any way to change the dates of the events in iMovie?
Or at the very least adjust the dates of the DV clips and then re-import them?
Cheers
PS I assume when importing from a hard drive camera or a DV tape that iMovie '09 can detect the correct date on the recordings (I don't have a firewire cable or the hd camcorder at the moment to check myself)

Hi,
Just to update this - adding the correct date to the name of the event when importing the movie does make a difference.
cheers.

Can i move iPhoto videos to events in iMovie ?

Is it ok to create a new event in iMovie and drag iphoto videos into it from the iphoto videos list in the imovie event browser, and then delete the videos in iphoto via the Trash) ?
Thanks in advance

No. That would cause you to lose the videos.
When you use videos in iMovie from the iPhoto section of the Event browser, it is referencing the copy in iPhoto.

Where do deleted events in imovie go?

it says "trash" but apparently there is no dedicated trash for imovie and the deleted events do not show in my mac trash. what is up? where are these deleted files? i have seen others ask this question on boards but no one seems to know where they actually go and if they are, in fact, deleted. anyone?

Just so there is no mistaking my question..i delted an event in imovie 10.0.2 on my macbookpro which i updated to maverick last week. the event was gone from my imovie library but never showed up in my finder trash. i DID NOT empty the trash before i looked there. i tried a few experimental deleting events from imovie and it never shows up in my mac finder trash. question: anyone know if, indeed, the event was deleted and if so, how (since i did not empty the trash, nopr did it even show up to empty)? And if not, where did the deleted events go?

Deleted events in iMovie 10 does not reduce used space on hard drive

The used space on my hard drive doesn't reduce when I delete big footage (events) in iMovie 10.0.1. The deleted events were not moved to system garbage like in iMovie 11.
Any exlanation for that?

It depends on how you migrated from iMovie 11. When you convert your Events and Projects from iMovie 11, you have the option to keep your iMovie 11 Events and Projects. If you do, the iMovie 10 Events are created by using Hard Links to the files. This means that iMovie 11 and iMovie 10 both can point to the same file. Therefore, it does not take up any more space to have events for both iMovie 10 and 11. On the other hand, If you delete an Event from iMovie 10, but do not delete the corresponding event from iMovie 11, you do not gain any disk space back.
Also, note that if you ever move or copy these events to another drive, the hard link will not carry over. At that point, both the events will take up space (basically doubling the space needed.)

Easiest way to import 192 AVI's each into it's own event in iMovie '11?

Hi,
I want to start using our new iMac's iMovie '11 (language not English, hopefully all the terms are correct) as our video library and organizer. I have a bunch of edited and named AVI's (192 exactly), which I would like to *import into 192 separate events in iMovie '11*. I would like to have the AVI file names as event names and naturally keep the correct dates in the process.
Is there an easy way of doing this? The options when importing movies seem to be
"add to an existing event"
"create new event"
I think what I'm *looking for would be a third import option*:
*create separate event from every movie (or clip)*
I can't get this done by dragging from Finder either. I can't drag to the library itself and I have to drag the movies to an existing event. Is there a way around this by some sort of batch import or adjusting settings when I drag AVI's over from Finder? I think I could live with writing new event names, but bringing all the AVI's over one by one seems hard work...

You could either script this via shell script or atleast bulk most of the tedious manual create/move operations.
Since you don't have that many, easiest is just to dump the filenames to a textfile and start from that so you don't have to type any.
ls > clips.txt
Open the file in Excel or a text editor (such as a the free Textwrangler which lets you do stuff in column mode) and create terminal commands. These you can just copy (cmd+c) and then paste into a terminal window and then execute.
mkdir "clipname 1 minus extension"
mkdir "clipname 2 minus extension"
You can also add the move operation
mv "clipname 1" ./"clipname 1 minus extension"
mv "clipname 2" ./"clipname 2 minus extension"
This is done in just a few minutes
