Opening an iMovie 8 project in iMovie 6

I swear I saw on this board a while back instructions on how to open an iMovie 8 project in iMovie 6. I need to do exactly that to fix the audio quality, but every time I try to import it, an error window pops up informing me that Quick Time couldn't parse it. Can someone please help me? This final project is due on Tuesday and I'm getting antsy. Thanks.

iMovie '08 projects are stored as a "text" file describing how the physical movie would be created from the resource files and how effects are to be applied. iMovie HD, on the other hand, only imports physical media files. You can, of course, export your iMovie '08 project to your hard drive as DV or AIC and import that file to either iMovie HD or GarageBand for audio editing (or share it to the Media Browser for audio editing in GarageBand).

When I go to save my unfinished imovie project, neither of the "imovie projects" or "imovie events" are visible where they should be. Why is this?

When I go to save my unfinished imovie project, neither of the "imovie projects" or "imovie events" are visible where they should be. Why is this?

The latest version (iMovie 10) doesn't have iMovie projects and iMovie events folders - these were for iMovie 9 and earlier. In iMovie 10 Projects are in Events and Events are in Libraries. When you quit iMovie the current status of your projects and events are automatically saved in the library so there is nothing to do. The default location for libraries is in ~ / Movies folder but you can put them anywhere, such as on an external drive . If you want to backup the library you can make a copy of it on a separate disk or memory stick using the Finder.

How do I copy an iMovie project from iMovie 11 to an SD card

How do I copy/export an iMovie project from iMovie 11 to an sd card on an iMac?

In iMovie, use SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE in the size that you want, and then specify a name and location that you can find, such as on your desktop.
Then, in the Finder, drag the movie you just made to the SD card.

Sync iPad-iMovie projects to iMovie on Mac

It is possible to sync iMovie projects from iMovie on iPad to iMovie on Mac?
When I've created an iMovie video and exported it, is it safe to delete some or all of the files featured in the video?
Thanks for your help!

Yes, you need to update your version of Logic to 9.14 and above (the latest is 9.15)

I can't load 1 Imovie project. Imovie shows 5 projects but only 4 icons show of those. 1 projects symbol won't come up so I can't click on it to work on or play. Please help me as there's lots of work on this project I don't want to lose.

The performance fixes is a biggy for me, though the other missing
stuff I use makes me have to use both versions for various things:
"but they seem to be committed to another release/version."
Well ... now that's the rub. I would actually welcome this intermediate version to play with (even with the cost of upgrading) if I could rely on it to be finalized into 6.0, full featured, without it taking as long as it has to Upgrade from AA3.0. I would say it was a VERY smart move to give us a preview of 6.0, if I felt in, say, six months they would provide us the fully functional update. But, HOW many years has it been. I felt screwed over while they played around with Sound Booth.
I was with you for a minute in most of what you said, until your credibility went down a couple notches with me on the statement trivializing midi functionality. I though that was a very clueless statement:
"but I have no need for a midi controller and if I want a drummer to keep perfect time I'll get a drum machine."
It does make some of your other statements suspect, tho I won't take it as far as therealdobro's "what's your stake" question.

Import iOS iMovie projects into iMovie 10 on Macbook

Is it true that you can no longer import a iMovie project from a device such as an iPhone into iMovie on a Macbook using iMovie 10.0.6?

That is not true. You can use them all in one DVD. I have just created my first DVD which has a trailer, a movie with chapters and several different slide shows.
All you have to do is save each project to Media Browser. (Choose Share in toolbar). Open iDVD and choose your theme or no theme. On the right will be all your options such as audio, media photo's etc. Choose your various video's/projects etc and just drag and drop which ones you want to the page and they will automatically put themselves there with the given name of each video/project.

Can I import an ios imovie project to imovie OS X version?

Hi!
I try to import an existing project from my iMovie for iOS to iMovie OS X but is not possible... I send the project (for iOS version) from my iPad Air to my iMac but then when I try to open this project in iMovie (OS X version) is not possible. The same operation was possible with the previous iMovie (2011) but now...
I want to know if I´m making a mistake or is not possible with the new version of iMovie for OS X.
Thanks in advance
Regards
JJ

I too would like to see this feature! It used to be available in older versions of iMovie but was removed during a recent upgrade. While the current iOS version can export the project, the new Mac version will not recognize it. Apple: please bring this back!!! For DSLR owners, this is a great way to do a rough cut in the field then finish at home.

Can I open a 09 project in iMovie 06?

I just finished a project in iMovie09 but now I'm reading about the single-field processing and don't want to jeopardize the quality of my project so I want to move it to 06.

What do you mean it's nondestructive to the source?
iMovie 08/09 both use single-field processing. This means that every other visible horizontal line is removed. I can tell a huge difference in quality from the older iMovies.

Transferring old version imovie projects to imovie 09

Does anyone know if I can transfer all of my old projects in older version of imovie to the 09 version? I think my version is 3 years old. Thanks

you can import raw footage through file import movies and bring in the original .dv files or .mov files, but i don't think you can bring in the project.
You can bring in projects for IM6 but only cross dissolves and edits.

What happened to my iMovie Projects in iMovie 10.0.6 (Yosemite)?

They are in my hrd drives but when I load them into the new iMovie they all appear in a clump under today's date, as though they are all one event. I hate this! How can I come to my machine and be productive with this mess?

Check your Applications Folder for a folder called iMovie 9.0.9. Inside you will find iMovie 11 (version 9). You can drag this to your dock and you are back in business with iMovie 11.
When you installed iMovie 10, you should have had the option to keep your iMovie 11 events intact. If so, you can still edit them.

Imovie won't open my imovie project

Hello,
I was working on an imovie project when imovie kept crashing. So i backed up deleted imovie and reinstalled. Now it won't open up my .rcproject file. Nothing happens. is all my work lost? Also, when it was crashing some of my viedo clips were grayed out. Now in my event library some of the clips are grayed out. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Update - I've managed to restore the file from my backup but now imovie crashes everytime i try to play it, just like before.
Thanks

Can't open my Imovie project

I can see the icon in my Imovie Projects folder in my finder browser and have managed to copy and paste this file onto my desktop. When I click on the file for this 12:00 fully edited Imovie project it opens up Imovie '11....but the project does not show up. My project was deleted when Imovie unexpectadly quit about an hour ago and I had been working on it for the past several nights putting in many hours of editing. I am now sleep deprived, extremely confused, and I would love ANY INSIGHT. I still have all of the video footage in my Imovie library.....but to re-cut/copy and edit the video that I am trying to recover would take quite a while once again.....and time is precious.

This file will not open unless it is in the Movies/iMovie Projects folder. iMovie will not open it from the desktop.
I am confused. If your project is deleted, how did you copy and paste it?
My suggestion would be to close iMovie and trash your Preferences file. It is possible that only your preferences file was corrupted and the project is OK. (But no promises.)
To trash the preferences file, see this user tip. Let me know if you have questions. You may want to go to iMovie/Preferences and note your current settings. You will need to re-enter these after you trash your preferences.

Opening old projects in imovie 6

can I open older versions of imovie projects in imovie 6?

Hi QuestVideo,
There should be no problems doing this. The older projects should just open straight up and update to the new iMovie. If there is a problem apple-click (or right click) on the old iMovie file and choose 'show package contents'. Then remove the Quicktime movie and import it into iMovie6 (for iMovie05 projects). For older projects just open the folder and import the Quicktime movie.
NB. Opening a project in a newer version of iMovie will make them unopenable in older versions. If you want to keep the older version just copy the file first and open the copy in iMovie6.

When I upload audio from itunes into my imovie project, it does not show all of the track?

Hi, I have opened a new project in imovie - I have uploaded 200 photos into the project to make a Comic Book movie!
this project is 7 mins and 8 seconds long - the exact length of the audio track that I want to play during the movie!
I have selected the music by clicking the musical note button in imovie, which open up my itunes library and displays the track I want to use that is 7 mins and 8 seconds long.
When I click and drag my MP3 audio from itunes into my imovie project, i only plays the first 5 mins & 33 seconds; leaving my project in silence for the final 1 min & 3 seconds????
I have not added markers, there are no fade ins or fade outs - only the first 5 min & 33 seconds or a 7 min & 8 seconds MP3 Audio track???
I have spent 10 hours trying to rectify this problem.......
can anyone help me with this problem
Peace, Love & Happiness

Importing projects into iMovie '11

Hi.
I've been trying the last couple of days to get my old projects, wich i made on my iMac in iMovie '08, inro iMovie '11 on my MacBook Pro.
I've tried to use the "Import iMovie HD-Project" function, but i can't mark the files. I've tried to jut open the old projects, but then iMovie just opens up the one i was editing last time, and I've tried to drag the old ones into iMovie while this was open.
NOTHING works. I've been searching all over this forum and others, but non of the answers i could find helped me out.
I therefor hope that some of you can help me out on this one.
PS. All my procejts have the endning .rcproject, and not .iMovieProject. I tried to change this on one of the old ones, and then it just created a folder instead, wich i could put into iMovie as a project, but EMPTY! So i would have to start from scratch.
Best Regards
Kaiser Carante

That was actually what i did on my very first try, because that's almost always the sulution when copying files around like this, but it didn't seemed to help.
i copied iMovie projects/ folder, iMovie events/ folder and the iMovie original movies/ folder into the original movies/ folder on my MacBook.
After i did that, i got the events but no projects.
So i started a new project, just to see what happend, at it automaticaly created a new folder "iMovie projects" which was EXACTLY the same as the one i copied into movies/.
Then i tried copying the projects from "my own" movies/iMovie Projects folder, to the identical one which iMovie created itself. Still nothing happens.
I might have made som minor mistakes, but nothing i can point out myself.
And also... My OS is running in danish, and I'm not sure what the iMovie events/ and iMovie original movies/ folders are called. If that matters.

Best way to export iMovie project for editing

I am creating an iMovie project in iMovie 09 with a friend. I have part of the movie and he has the other part (basically I have put together a lot of the video and some transitions, and he is going to put in some music he created and add a couple of other cool things). I have created my part of the movie and I would like to send the project to him so that he can add his part to finish the movie. I am not sure what the best method is to save my iMovie project so that I can sent it to him. I don't want to export it to something he can't work with on his end.
I am thinking that if I save the project as a QuickTime movie it will allow him to open open the file in iMovie and then he can add his stuff. I was also thinking about ways of exporting to mp4 format as I know this is a format that iMovie likes, and he could open this up in iMovie. I wasn't sure, though, how to make sure I save the movie project as a mp4.
Do you all have any thoughts or suggestions on this?
Thanks,
Tim

I don't think I have the answer, but if you don't mind I'm going to drop into your discussion because I have a similar issue and am interested in any solution someone may give you. I have a couple of iMovie project files because, like you, I have two people working seperately, and I just want to combine them as a single project.
I was able to move both projects to one computer by moving the iMovie projects to an external hard drive and then opening them both up from the same computer. That solution probably doesn't solve your issue, though.
