Open imovie project in garage band
Hi,
I am trying to do mulitiple tracks in imovie, with music, voice-over, etc. and I want to hear my voice-over at the same time as the music, to match timing.This is not possibe via imovie, as one's voice-over obscures everything else, so the timing with the music is out.
I thought that I could export the imovie project to garage band, synch the music and voice-over and send it back.
I "shared" the imovie project to the media browser,
now what? Where did it go?
Can I in fact use garage band in the manner I have described above?
Can't get any joy from the garage band help.
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks.
Can I in fact use garage band in the manner I have described above?
Sure, you can!
To use the movie in GarageBand, click the MediaBrowser icon in the lower right corner of the GaragBand window. Click the "Movies" tab and click disclosure triangle beside the iMovie icon. Now you should see your project.
Select it. Inthe lower part of the Media Browser you see the different sizes of your movie. Select on of them and drag them to the time line.
If your movie has an Audio track you will here it when you play your song and you should be able to play or sing along with the Movie-audio track and record your vocals. Then I would export the vocal track and import it to iMovie and mix the two tracks in iMovie.

While creating a project in Garage Band 09 my sample tracks were being cut short- I then discovered they had been overwritten in soundtrack pro.
Any ideas why? and how to get my tracks back?
I never opened soundtrack pro to edit the track just Garage band....the track just mysteriously saved as half the track.
I am running Lion and I upgraded my Garage band to '11 hoping it would resolve the issue...it didn't. Now I can't find that tracks at all.
The 2 songs having the issue are titled Exotic Yearning and Reunion.
I am in the process of reinstalling the audio content from my discs. I just don't want to run into this again.
Any thoughts and help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!After spending some time reinstalling the soundtrack pro 3 content I opened the full track called Reunion.
It showed back up in Garage Band.*It was the full track and wasn't chopped off until I dragged it onto the project. Then it showed up chopped.
Then I closed Garaged band and opened soundtrack pro 3....The song was again chopped off at the 1:33min mark
Very Frusterated...:( -
2011 iMac, OS X 10.7.5 Lion is missing iPhoto, iMovie, iMessage and Garage Band
I purchased a little used 2011 iMac last night. OS X 10.7.5 Lion is missing iPhoto, iMovie, iMessage and Garage Band, which according to this Apple page should be included Apps on iMacs: http://www.apple.com/imac/built-in-apps/
Lion Recovery also appears to be missing, as restarting while holding down the Command-R keys is not working after half a dozen tries.
How do I restore at least iPhoto, which I need and use daily?
I thought of buying and installing Mountain Lion, but near as I can tell from the Apple site, iPhoto is NOT included.
I DO have Snow Leopard discs from my old iMac and could revert so as to get back to work, but if the Lions can be made to purr, I'll stay and try to work out my minor quibbles.
Thanks for your consideration,
BlandzThanks for the additional info!
Yes, those are the very arrows of which I speak. I happen to be using Firefox at present and took a screen shotshot of my basic desktop layout. Although "Dummy" widows are shown, they represent the esential windows I access frequently while doing other tasks.
At any time, one or more windows may be covered by others, but they are always "in their place" so that by clicking on upper corners they quickly appear. Note in particular the right side windows. Where I would click the corner to expose a partially hidden window, Lion chose to put the diagonal full screen arrows. Unless I'm VERY careful to click to either side of the arrows (and this extra care defeats the whole QUICKNESS factor), the window then opens FULL screen..., annnoying, unproductive and not at all useful to my work processes.
Hence my goal to send the arrows to their grave. Should I succeed, I'll continue going forward with new versions of OS X, and that would be my preference.
Be well,
Blandz -
I took my Mac Mini to the Apple store yesterday since I was having trouble with difficult to read text. They recommended wiping the drive and reloading it. I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage band in the process. How can I get them back. The App store says they are already installed.
What I missed was that I needed to select "Purchased" rather than using the normal listing of items. Once I went to the purchased list I could easily download the various software.
Thank you all for your help.

Google 'Free File Share'
one example is http://www.mediafire.com/ These sorts of services are free but can cap the file size. Media Fire limit there free service to 200mb. Depending on the size of your project you may have to upgrade to paid services. -
Does anyone maybe know why the new Macbook pros don't have iWeb and how i can install it. My Macbook already came with the iLife thing, but it seems to only have iMovie, iPhoto and Garage Band. is there any way that i can install iWeb?
Apple discontinued iWeb. That's the case for over a year now.
Topics in this forum will tell you that in order to install iWeb you have to find a copy at eBay, Amazon and similar places.

Unable to open IMovie Project in IDVD
I have created a 40 minute movie in IMovie 08 (my first). I am unable to open the movie in IDVD 08 and Garage Band. The project name is visible in the media browser but is not available for selection.
I have published the movie to the media browser and it still is not available to IDVD.
I am new to apple computers and have been unable to get help with this problem.Here's two things to try:
This frequently helps solve some problems. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.
You'll need to reset some Preferences.

Opening imovie projects in other applications
I have created a 40 minute movie in IMovie 08 (my first). I am unable to open the movie in IDVD 08 and Garage Band. The project name is visible in the media browser but is not available for selection.
I have been through the IMovie rendering process for making the movie available to the media browser.
I am new to apple computers and have been unable to get help with this problem.Thanks.
I never thought to actually click on the little arrow to expand the menu.
That comes from me going straight from Windows XP to ILife without really having learned my way around a Mac. I have only had the Mac for a couple of weeks. Amazing that something that small help me up for two days.
I rendered the movie as a medium file because large was not available for selection. My source video was a combination of old VCR footage converted to digital on a Panasonic DVD/VCR/Hard Drive player. I then had to convert that footage from DVD to DV using DVXDVDpro downloaded of the internet. Those clips are mixed with footage shot on a Sony Handy Cam HDR-SR1 (shot in standard definition High Quality to avoid compatibility issues). It's been a steep learning curve since I have never shot or edited digital video before.
Do you think that the large option was not available because of the source video? Or am I missing something again? I would prefer the higher quality if I can get it. I sure will be glad when a few I Life 08 books hit the shelf.
My project is moving forward now. I was a litte disappointed to find that my audio tracks were not kept separate for editing in garage band. The audio from the video clips and the music tracks I added in IMovie were all blended into one in the rendering process. I was hoping to fade the music in and out.
I would be willing to go through the editing in garage band again if I can change my file to a large size.
Thanks again.

Unable to open iMovie project?
I made a simple iMovie 09 project and burned it to a DVD via iDVD.
Then, to save space on my HD, I moved the project to an external HD.
Now I want to go back to the project to make some edits. But when took it out of the external HD and placed it on my desktop, I am unable to open it in iMovie. I've tried simply clicking on the project icon as well as doing File>Import>Movie. I also tried clicking and dragging the movie icon from the desktop to iMovie with no luck. iMovie just doesn't see to want to recognize it.
Can someone help? Thanks?Hi
There are so many things to this.
A. Flash drive - I even don't know if they would ever work - very doubtful
B. External hard disks - MUST be Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted -
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange works for most other things BUT NOT FOR VIDEO no matter if iMovie, iDVD or FinalCut is used.
C. In the folder iMovie Projects - There are NO MOVIES - but text-documents related to the projects and this document points to the Raw material in iMovie Events folder and how it is supposed to be Played/Viewed in this particular project. e.g. play Clip A from 00:00:01:13 to 00:03:45:02 and so on. So there are no movies in the project folder.
D. So if both iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folder are copied over to an external hard disk - Then the iMovie in the second Mac has no links to this and will not find it.
SO to be able to work with one project on two Macs - all moving's of Events and Projects should be done within the iMovie Application - Not on DeskTop/Finder - do not alter or move any folder named
• iMovie Events
• iMovie Projects
on DeskTop/Finder - as they can mess-up and be very hard to impossible to mend.

Opening imovie project from external hard drive
I get this message: The project “last duly noted” was saved with an older version of iMovie. Opening it in this version will cause it to be upgraded, which will make it unreadable by older versions. Are you sure you want to open it?
How can I edit this item?Hi Harmless - I do not think that your problem has anything to do with the external drive. Your project must have been crreated on an earlier version of iMovie - iMovie 4 perhaps, and contained in a standard folder. It can be upgraded to an HD project - best to use a copy for this, just in case....!
When you upgrade, it will firstly be converted only partially into the new version, so you have to take another step to fully convert>
Here's a comment about what should happen:
"A project created by iMovie 5 is a special kind of folder called a package. It looks and acts like a file. The package contains all the files and folders you see, but they are all hidden inside the package. To open the project in iMovie you double-click on the package.
If your project looks like an iMovie 4 folder instead of a package — so you can easily see inside — my guess is it's probably a project you've converted from iMovie 4 to iMovie 5. Converted projects do not look or act like true iMovie 5 projects. They contain the same files/folders but are stored in a conventional folder, just like iMovie 4.
That's not necessarily a good thing, for a user can get inside too easily, and open the project by double-clicking on that tilde file. If you do that, iMovie opens the PREVIOUSLY-saved version of the project. And when you next save, iMovie creates a second tilde file. Then a third, then a fourth. It's all too easy for the user to get confused, open the wrong project file and create quite a mess.
So it's a good idea, after converting a project from iMovie 4 to iMovie 5, to do a Save As to save the project into a new project. Then iMovie 5 builds a true iMovie 5 project that looks and acts like a real iMovie 5 project. Lots safer, and it works better." (as described by Karl Petersen)
So, you should experience no problems if you follow that advice - go ahead and convert! -
I created a project then moved the iMovie folder to external hard drive. Now iMovie does not recognize the project. The folder that has the project shows up in gray and unable to open.
Move your project back to the Movies/iMovie Projects folder on your internal drive.
In iMovie 08 it is possible to move Events to an external drive if you do it from within iMovie. However, projects must stay on the internal drive.
If you upgrade to iMovie 09 or 11, projects can also be moved to an external drive, but the move needs to be done in iMovie. -
I have a question about iMovie HD 6. When I launch it, I want the screen to come up that asks if I want to create a new project, open an existing project, or make a magic movie. Is there a way to make this the default screen when I open iMovie HD6.
Is there a way to make this the default screen when I open iMovie HD6.
Nope. There was a way to force the default startup screen in iMovie 5, but not in iMovie 6.
Usually that's not a big problem, unless the project that opens by default takes a long time to load. Then you might prefer launching iMovie another way.
One workaround is to create an empty iMovie project and place that project's icon in the Dock. Place the iMovie application icon in the Dock too.
To launch iMovie to an empty project, click on the project icon in the Dock. To launch iMovie to the project you were last working on when you quit iMovie, click on the iMovie icon in the Dock.
Or, of course, you can launch iMovie by double-clicking on any iMovie project in a Finder window.

Problems Opening iMovie Project in Final Cut Pro
We created a 12 minute Video in iMovie for a client last year (basically starting Video editing as an experiment). However because they now want a multilingual DVD version we've decided to take the plunge and invest in FC Studio, thinking it will be able to open the project and allow us to add the additional audio tracks.
However, on opening the iMovie project in FCP, a lot of the clips along the timeline are missing, and the few clips that have transferred successfully seem to have spread themselves over 5 or 6 hours with huge gaps between them.
Are we doing something wrong? Final Cut Express seems to have a seamless upgrade path, does Final Cut Pro not have this ?
We don't really want to remake the whole video in FCP if there is a way of just importing the iMovie project.
iMac 20" G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Using latest FCP and iMovieThanks everyone for your help.
I've just finished the project. As Steve mentioned I didn't actually need to add the audio tracks in FCP, in fact after adding them to Sound Track Pro and adjusting the volume I then realised they needed to be exported from there and added as separate tracks to DVD Pro. (everything has a timeline)
I used FCP to superimpose a new sequence and a logo to the top corner, I'm getting more comfortable with the programs now.
I think I've got my head around what application does what now, and have established a better work flow.
Once again thanks for your help.
PS. I get the feeling FCP is a slightly older program than iMovie or any of the other applications. The lack of live scrolling and audio wave forms (in the timeline) gives me that impression. But the whole FC studio an amazing piece of software, don't think I'll ever look back. -
Hello,
I've spent the afternoon looking for answers and I've tried everything but still no luck.
I've been working at a project for the past week. This afternoon, imovie crashed when i was editing my project. When I opened imovie, the project was gone from the "project library." I navigated to the imovie project folder, and sure enough, the file was there. Problem is, imovie can't open it. I've clicked, dragged but nothing works.
I've even deleted the "com.apple.imovie8.plist" file but it doesn't help. Finally, i checked the console message and here's what i got:
6/19/10 6:42:20 6/19/10 iMovie[246] Skipping loading of project "South America" due to error: Unable to load project

entries =>

Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks!!!!This means that your original media files were not in your events folder but only links to them, with the originals stored somewhere else. If you look in the events folders inside your iMovie Events folder you will probably see aliases to the clips rather than the clips themselves. If you get info on the alieases they may identify where the original was stored (or they may say the original can't be found).
You must have moved your events folder at some point which broke the links so iMovie now doesn't know where to find them. You can still see the thumbnails in the timeline because these are small low resolution files which are in your project file. Unless you can move your folders back to exactly how they were when you created the project (and on the same computer) you will have to re-import the originals and re-insert them into the timeline.
You could as an alternative try putting one of the clips manually into your events folder in place of the broken alias to it and see if it appears in the timeline when you relaunch iMovie. If this works (I'm not sure if it will) you can do it with the rest and not have to touch the project timeline.

Yellowish filter when opening iMovie projects created by the iMovie 4 or 5
I open the old iMovie project created by version 4 (maybe 5), in iMovieHD. There is a warning telling me that "The project was saved with an older version of iMovie. Opening it in this version will cause it to be upgraded, which will make it unreadable by older versions. Are you sure you want to open it?" I click OK and open and the clips/timeline come up, BUT - in the main window the clips look (and play) as if covered by a yellow filter. The projects are fairly recent (2005), created with the same camera I am using now - there was no problem at all last year. The only thing that has changed is that I have upgraded to iLife 6. Could anyon please help/explain what's going on?
Thank you very much!!!!!!I had the same exact problem, only my "filter" color was purple! It was easily solved though.
This was the answer that worked for me...
"It was pointed out in another thread that this has something to do with the playback setting in iMovieHD.
Go to Preferences->Playback
and change from the "Highest" setting, which seems to be set by default, to one of the others ("High" works for me). The purple cast goes away."
Please post back and let us know if this worked for you.
