No sound in one event in iMovie 11'

I have lots of movies from my Panasonic camcorder in iMovie 11'.
All look and sound fine except in one event (with several movies in it) there is no sound.
None of the other events have the no sound effect so I am leaning toward it being a setting.
Does anyone know how to fix no sound in an event? If I add new clips to the event they also have no sound, but if I add to another event then I get sound. It is baffeling me!!
Please help.

If you made update of iMovie from 9.0.4 to 9.0.6, I had the same problem. The solution is to back at 9.0.4 after to have removing iMovie last version with caches & pref and reinstall it but without update the last version.

  • How do I move clips in one pane of iMove (10.0.3) into the timeline?  iMovie somehow doesn't realize I'm trying to edit the clips.

    How do I move clips in one pane of iMove (10.0.3) into the timeline?  iMovie somehow doesn't realize I'm trying to edit the clips.

    Try this:
    Select a small portion of the clip in the event (Above the timeline)
    Click and hold and drag that section into the timeline, it should snap into place but if you drag it above another clip, it will not replace it but will be placed on top and the sound from the other clip will still play. Also this will allow you to use Blue/Green screen modes as well as picture in picture.
    The best way is to drag it to the far right

  • 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.

  • How do I move clips from one Event to another?

    How do I move clips from one Event to another?
    As soon as I got the new iMovie, I started importing clips and making video's. Unfortunately, I hadn't fully understood the Events feature, so all of my clips are in a single "New Event" Event. I have now created several other Events and named them properly and would like to sort all of my clips into their proper "Event" folders. How do you do that?

    Ahh, Ok. I actually had to go to Lynda.com to watch a training video of this highly bassackwards maneuver, but now I have it. In other words, while the intuitive thing is to make a new event to hold the clip you want and then open the old event and drag the clip into it's new event, the only way to accomplish this maneuver is to NOT create a new event, but rather, go to the clip AFTER the one you want to move, select it and then Right-Click on it and select SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP (or go to FILE>SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP). Then you wait a few seconds while the program thinks a bit (no feedback it is doing this - just a pause) and then it automatically creates a new event with the clip you wanted. Now just double-click the new event and name it something meaningful.
    Thanks for your help!

  • How do I move a video clip from one event folder to another?

    Today I imported a bunch of old VHS based analog videos. I imported them all into one event library folder.
    Now I want to move some of the clips into a new event folder so I can keep all the folders properly organized with what is in them.
    When I highlight the selected video clip (I put the yellow border around the video I want to move) and I drop and drag the clip into the new folder imovie 11 asks if I want to move the selected clip. I answer yes, it seems to move the clip BUT it moves the WHOLE CLIP NOT just the part I selected.
    I can't seem to make a cut in the video and separate it out.
    How do I get the video I selected into the new event folder?

    The short answer is that you can't.  Purchases are tied to the AppleID used to buy them.  AppleID's cannot be merged, and the content cannot be transferred.

  • 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!

  • All my photos are now in just one event - how do I get them back?

    Hi all,
    New to iLife '08, just getting used to the new iPhoto and iMovie. Was trying to backup photos to an external hard drive (and I now realise doing it a stupid way) when it all went a bit wrong - think something went wrong with the external hard drive rather than macbook - and had to force quite and so on.
    Wasn't too worried as I do already have a back up of everything, its just all in different places (so was trying to make one backup of everything), but when i opened iPhoto again all the events were gone.
    All my photos appear to be there, but they're just in one event folder, which is kind of annoying. can anyone tell me the easiest way to fix this? Tried using the Autosplit Events thing but that splits everything into days, which isn't the way it was divided. Is there any way of getting them back to the way they were without going through it all manually and renaming and moving things? If I browse the files using finder (and Show Package Contents) they're all divided into the different folders they were in originally and the way I'd like them to be split into events, so I don't really understand. Any hints?
    Apologies for the extended post.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.

    Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the existing file.
    or try
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.

  • Re-connecting events with iMovie project

    Hi,
    basically i was making a movie using "imovie vesion 9" on the guest account of a friends computer. Having uncompleted the project i saved it onto an external hardrive to continue at a later date (im aware that this would involve re-importing events since it was a guest account) anyway turns out i only saved the "imovie project" and not the "imovie events" onto the hardrive, so now when i went to return to the movie, the project reads "source clip missing" with yellow exclamation triangles on each clip i.e, there are no events in the imovie project,
    is there anyway i can reimport the events and reconnect them with the "imovie project" ?
    Thanks, Ryan

    Ok. I found my answer. Here's the excerpt from another thread if anybody else is wondering the same thing:
    The iMovie Events Folder should have a .localized extension on it. Verify that it does by doing a Get Info on the iMovie Events Folder.
    Now find one of the iMovie Projects that shows missing clips in the Finder. Right click on the project in the Finder and select Show Package Contents. Now open the Project file inside the project in bbedit or any editor like it. Search for iMovie Events and verify the your paths are correct. If not, fix them and save the Project file.

  • Pictures from various event folders mistakenly merged to one event folder.

    In trying to move 15 photos to iMovie, I did a sellect all and went to move the photos.  When I realized I was dragging all 5,000+ photos, I moved the mouse back to iphoto.  This action moved all 5,000+ photos from their made event pholders into one event folder.  I saw the spinning wheel and forced a quit in hoping that would stop the merge.  Upon reopening iphoto, all my photos were now in this one event.  Is there a way to get my photos back to the individual events?  Would Time Machine help? because I have backups, or do I have to accept the painsaking job of creating individual folder events and move all 5,000+ photos.  Signed,  What was I thinking to use a shortcut????

    Were your events based on capture dates? Then you could use the "autosplit" command to split the event again.
    From the main menu bar:  Events > Autosplit Selected Events
    This will split your merged events into smaller events again, based on the time time you set in the Preferences.
    See:  iPhoto '11: Merge or split Events - Support - Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2362?viewlocale=en_US
    But if you invested a lot of time into naming your events and setting attributes for them, you might prefer to restore your iPhoto Library from the backups. If you have a TimeMachine backup, open TimeMachine, dive back into the TimeTunnel while browsing your "Pictures" folder, and then restore your iPhotoLibrary.

  • The library must contain at least one event

    Hello everyone. Noob question here.
    How do you delete event in "All Events"? when i try to do so, it says "the operation cannot be completed. the library must contain at least one event"..
    Please, pretty please answer..
    Thank you so much.

    iMovie version 10 uses Libraries to store your data. This date is stored inside of Events. You can think of Events as folders.
    Events can contain clips and other media as well as Projects.
    Each Library must contain at least one Event.
    So the short answer to your quest is that you cannot delete because it is the only Event in the Library.
    You can delete clips and Projects that are in that Event.
    If you can describe the end result you are trying to achieve, I may be able to offer some suggestions.

  • Clips not working in one event.

    Hi,
    I have one event that doesn't work properly. When I movie through the clips the video is fine but there is no audio coming out. When I try to drag a clip into the project it doesn't show at all and the preview window shows gray.
    I did delete the com.apple.iMovie8 in the catches file and it fixed it for a while but today it happened again.
    Any idea what should I do now?
    Also all my other events work just fine.
    I'm running the latest updated X OS and iMovie.
    thank you,
    Reeno.

    update,
    I moved one clip into a new event and now I can drag a clip into a project from both events the old one and the new one. The audio works in the project but still no video appears.
    Any idea?

  • Sound Issue when burning an imovie HD projet with iDVD

    I've just finished a 45 minutes movie with a rich sound track, using the video recorded sound, mixed with music & garage band loops and effects.
    In Imovie, I've used a variable sound level adjustment to have a good sound mix. When playing with iMovie, everything is fine.
    When burning my DVD, the volume levels in the soundtrack are incorrect with big sound variations each time i've used a mix of 2 sound effect, one with a decreasing volume, the other one with increasing sound volume at the same time for example.
    Is there any known bug issue regarding this ?
    Imac G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  
    Imac G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Problem found !
    Karls answer's helped me to findout the issue.
    Nevertheless, this wasn't the bug.
    When playing the movie in iMovie HD, sound rendering is not correct. When you burn your DVD, sound track is calculated to mix every sound tracks according to each sound volume curve defined in iMovie.
    If you see a dot at the beginning of a sound track this mean that the DVD sound rendering will be incorrect.
    Clean the and make sure that, when you select a sound object, you can change its volume by adjusting it, not manually, but using the general volume cursor. If not, you have a problem. Remake a perfect flat volume curve before adjusting it again.

  • How do you delete events in iMovie

    I put some videos from our family camcorder onto iMovie, but now I changed my mind; I don't want them in iMovie. When I try to delete the event, (i right click it and click "move event to trash") it says, "The library must contain at least one event." But it does! Help!

    It would seem that the event you want to delete is the only one in the library.  As soon as you create another event you will be able to delete it.

  • 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?

  • 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
