Project clips disappeared?

I moved clips from Event Library to Project Library. I was working on about 5 projects from 3 large tapes I had imported into events library.
as I completed an events tae I deleted it.
Now one of my projects is missing clips I had copied to it. In its place is some other clip with a little yellow traingle?
What does this mean?

I too have YELLOW TRIANGLES in some of my movie clips inside my Project Library. The clips are still in my event library though. It appears as if it lost the link after I updated my iMovie 08 software. Is there a way to have the clips automatically relink to the files?

I have an old project with AVCHD clips and I want to import the clips again with surround sound. How can I relink the project clips to the re-imported ones without doing the project from the begining?

I have a sony handicam and I imported the clips to iMovie and they lost quality and converted the audio to stereo. I want to import the project to final cut X and import the AVCHD in 1080p and surround sound and export the movie in bluray. Can I relink the clips without editing everything again?
thanks!

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

IMovie 10.0.2 The iMovie unexpectedly quit and after restarting it projects were disappeared

iMovie 10.0.2 unexpectedly quit and after restarting it 2 (out of 3) projects were disappeared. However I can see "All Projects - 1 of 3selected". I am quite disapointed!!!

No, I did not.
Meanwhile I have found the reason for the projects disappear in my libraries! The problem is caused by using the dash "#" symbol in my project names.
I have created another project with a dash in the name and the project also disappeared in iMovie with the same effect that the underlying data was still in die library.
Apple should release a warning that some special characters are not allowed to be used in project names or better should solve this.
Thanks for your help!

How do remap drive names and not lose project clip links to Event names...?

how do remap drive names and not lose project clip links to Event names...?

You will need an extra external drive. All moves must be done within iMovie to preserve your links to the projects.
First Move (command-drag) the event to the extra drive. Make sure the project still works.
Then rename, reformat, or repartition your drive as needed. Then, if you want, move the Event back to the newly named drive, again via Command-Drag within iMovie.

Motion clip disappears while working in 3d

In Motion 4.0.3, I'm working in 3d mode with a clip I've dropped in a drop zone. I have also applied a False Color Filter to the clip. When I rotate the camera angle, the clip disappears. I think this has something to do with the filter. How can I get the clip to remain visible the entire time? I'm about to try to apply the filter before I export from FCP, which I think will work, but I would like to know if I can use the filter in Motion and make it work. (The clip is exported from FCP 7.0.3 in .mov format.)

Tried it again and applying a filter before exporting from FCP did fix the problem. Still would like to know about the problem with applying the filter to a video clip in motion when changing camera angles in 3d though.

How do I make precise frame range deletions in the middle of project clip?

I need to make a precise deletion of frames 8:55:15 to 8:56:12 in the middle of my project video clip.
Problem: The trimmer won't do it because it keeps the very selection which I want to delete, while deleting the frames before and after my selection range.
Problem: When in my project, while the red pointer tells me exactly where I am in my clip (when I select Playhead Information in View), the problem is that I have no information to tell me the exact location of the right and left selection handles so I can precisely select 8:55:15 and 8:56:12 of my clip for deletion. I press the Option key and the pointer moves to the beginning or end of the clip, not to one end handles of the selection.
In iMovie 3 when the selection handles are moved I get information as to exactly where each handle rests in terms of time or frames for easy deletion of the exact selection I want to remove.
Can iMovie 08 make precise frame range deletions somewhere in the middle of a project clip?
Thank you.

Don't use it. It is for trimming the ends from the clip selection.
Can iMovie 08 make precise frame range deletions somewhere in the middle of a project clip?
Yes. The basic strategy is to expand the project to its maximum scale (0.5 sec) and to then select the range of frames you wish to to edit. Start by slowly dragging the playhead across the clip in the area you wish to access. The time in white below the window will display the exact (minute:) second: and frame across which you are skimming, as well as display the frame itself in both the thumbnail and the preview screens. (NOTE: I prefer visual selection of the frames rather than using a time reference since such references may change as transitions and titles are added.) When you locate the first frame you wish to delete, press the mouse to select it. While holding down the mouse, continue to scrub the clip to locate the last frame you wish to delete. When you locate it, release the mouse. At this point you can either split the clip and keep/delet the sub-segments as needed or delete the selected range using the "Delete Selection" or "Cut" Edit menu options.
Another method would be to select the approximate range you wish to edit in the middle of the clip and then grab and drag the beginning and ending "handles" to adjust the exact start and stop frames for the "Selected" range. In this case, the times ate the bottom of the "Project" window represent the "in" and "out" points for the range of frames currently selected. Once again, I prefer to select the in and out points visually as I scrub. Also, for me, this two-stage adjustment approach seems quicker and easier for my approach to editing.
The problem is that the playhead refers to the red pointer, thus I can get an exact location of the pointer in terms of time and frame, but NOT a location of the selection handles.
Okay, I see what you mean. However, if you use the two-stange method described above, the point where you press the mouse to mark the begin handle of the selected range is the "begin handle". Same holds true for the release point (playhead time time) for the stop handle.
Is there some way I can line up the pointer exactly with the location of the right or left handle then use Option key and Left/Right arrow keys to move the handles to my exact range frame by frame?
Not really at the same time. iMovie does allow you to set the exact start point and will tell you when you have reached the exact number of seconds and frames for the range you wish to delete. Adding the two together does give you the exact time of the end of the range in seconds and frames.

Motion Project clip in FCP clip does not export

Dear All,
I edited one clip from FCP 06 sequence with Motion Project and replaced the original clip with the motion project version. I did frame blending effect on the original FCP clip, which had 25% slow motion applied (constant) through FCP. After the clip was replaced with the new one, I exported the whole sequence from FCP to a couple of formats through Compressor (a custom DVD and a custom H.264 formats), the fragment where the Motion Project clip supposed to be did not show the effect of the frame blending. However it shows fince on the timeline in FCP.
I will appreciate any suggestions,
Izabela

Hi Izabela,
Did you render the Motion effects in FCP prior to sending to Compressor? Are you using the 'Send to Compressor' (Not that that is wrong, it's just so I know your workflow)?
If it's just the Frame blending that is a problem for you just check your sequence settings in FCP. With the sequence window selected do Cmd-0(zero) to open the sequence settings. In the Render Control tab under Master Templates and Motion Projects, change the Quality to Best and tick the box underneath.
Now check to see if the Motion clip has become unrendered. If not, double click it and in the viewer goto the Motion tab and change the scale then back to it's original setting (just to unrender the clip). Now rerender the clip and retry your send to compressor.

Copy project clip with voice over from one project to another

Hi,
I would like to copy some part of the project clip into another new project. I would able to copy Video and its sounds but not external voiceover sound which is attached to the project.
Can anyone please tell me how to copy voiceover part as well with video?
Reg,
Sri.

Steve,
Thanks for the mention of the Project Archiver. As I normally set up Projects on externals, in anticipation of migrating them between my computers, I had just not thought to mention that. The OP will benefit from that tip!
One thing for the OP to remember is that many systems will not boot properly, if a thumbdrive is attached first. Many USB devices get in the way, if plugged in and turned on, prior to boot up. My Epson printer MUST be turned OFF, or my laptop will not boot. Many have had the same thing happen with most thumbdrives too.
Appreciated,
Hunt

A garageband project completely disappeared.

Garage band project completely disappeared. The only thing I did recently that might have caused it was backing up my hard drive. Is this possible? I'm a bit leery of connecting the back up harddrive for fear that i might lose more! Suggestions?

But how did you backup? Is your backup drive directly connected (USB, Thunderbolt) or a network attached storage? Did you use backup software that came with the drive, or Time Machine, or did you simply copy the project by drag-and-drop to the drive? Copying between drives should not delete a project from your system system drive, but if you hold down the options-key while dragging a project to a different disk, the project will be moved instead of copied and deleted from the original location.

Encore project file DISAPPEARS

This happened to me twice today. The first time I thought I made a mistake but happening twice makes me think it's a software issue. Luckily I had the saved file from end of day yesterday and the changes I made today were minimal.
I made changes to a Blu Ray project in Encore. I burned the disk and everything seems fine. When I save and quit, the project file disappears. GONE! The only reference to it anywhere on the computer or external drive is the project is in the recent items list from the Apple menu (and my backup drive but that is from yesterday).
I'm running CS5 and the latest version of OSX.

Welcome to the forum.
The first thing that I would check, and in depth, would be your complete I/O sub-system, i.e. your HDD's and your controller. This should never happen, and Adobe programs are usually very careful to NOT directly affect any existing file on the system.
Any other anomalies with regards to files and folders?
You mention externals. Are any USB? Read/write errors are common, when working to/from those, though they function nicely for archiving - just not when working to/from.
Good luck,
Hunt

Some of Title box when picked and dropped, the iMovie project suddenly disappears

Movie making project with iMovie. :- When some of the Title boxes are picked and dropped at places between frames for different effects, the project suddenly disappears and a drope down window will ask for re opening option. As a result these boxes cannot be put in position and are useless. Is it a spam? Or how to rectify? Please advise. Thanks.

iMovie version 9.
Also I would like to have more softwears installed on my McMini for movie making as the present ones are inadequate. Apple iMovie 11 cannot be installed on this computer. How can I install more reliable softweare.?Kindly advise me.

Stabilization of multiple Project Clips

I have several project clips connected by cross dissolves that I'd like to apply stabilization to. Is this just a matter of selecting the first clip in the group, shift clicking the last one and then opening the Inspector and clicking "Stabilization?"

That should work.

Source clip disappeared from hard drive!

Hi everybody,
Very strange and worrying problem here.
I was editing on a college computer in FCE (Final Cut Express), trying to put some end credits on a short film. I created a rough edit of my end sequence visuals, and copied it to a new Sequence, entitled 'end titles', which I exported to LiveType (File > Export > Export to LiveType). When I imported it into LiveType, I remembered that it didn't import audio to LiveType (annoyingly - does anyone know why this is?), so I decided to go back and put markers on the video where key points occured in the soundtrack, so I could synchronise my titles with the music in LiveType.
In FCE, I put my markers on the video, in the new Sequence, and re-exported it to LiveType, with the same name, replacing the old file without the markers. LiveType duly removed the old background track from its timeline, but when I went to File > Place Background Movie, the new file wasn't there.
I went back to FCE, which had reported a general error, and when I clicked OK it told me that some media had gone missing - one of the files used by my end sequence, from which I had made a freeze frame. I clicked 'Reconnect', went to the project folder in the Capture Scratch folder - but the file wasn't there. FCE was now displaying the red 'Media Offline' message wherever that clip appeared. I was befuddled. In the Finder I looked in the Capture Scratch > project folder, but it was nowhere to be found. All the others were there, in numerical order, but that particular clip, number 18, was gone. I searched for it in Spotlight, with a variety of similar terms derived from its name. There was no mention of it anywhere.
Does anyone know how or why a media clip could simply disappear completely from a hard drive - or if there is any hope of getting my media back, short of re-capturing it??
Thanks much guys,
~Bacchus

Hi(Bonjour)!
As stated earlier livetype doesn'support audio. So before exporting your movie from sequence, you can put some color frame where your want to cue livetype elements. Those cues will be usefull when you will edit your livetype project but you will have to set the visibility of background to off before the saving or the "cue" version will appears in your project.
To export a movie to livetype, I put a In and OUT points to set the movie duration/content in timeline and save a quicktime movie "self contained".
I import this movie into livetype project, doing the titling and save the project.
I import the livetype project itself into FCE (not the rendered movie) and the rendering occur in FCE HD itself. You can use a "replace edit" to replace the original clip in timeline with the livetype project (who acts as a clip). You can add sound element in FCE HD timeline to fit your titling project.
Livetype is included with FCS 2 by I doupt that many editors use it as MOTION application is included and supports many more features like sound.
The "send to..." function if Final Cut Pro 6 work as intended.
