Project library clip ends and delay to next clip

Why is there a very slight time lag between clips in my project (not the event library) every time I drag in a new clip to immediately follow a clip and how do I remove that delay??????
So if I am speaking on the clips and that clip comes to it's end it will almost like freeze for a few tenths of a second befre going into the next sequence of clips.
Visually it looks like a space double the size of where I'd split clips.
Thanks for the help!

I think it is called the transition from one clip to another isn't immediate....it lags almosts stutters to the next clip.
How do I resolve this so it is an immediate transition from clip to clip???

Suddenly my project window has no scroll bars, and if I return to the project library, select my project and click edit, another project LIBRARY appears partially covering the project window. Help.

In the middle of making a movie, the scroll bars vanished in the project window and I could no longer navigate at all. If I went to the project library and selected the project, another image of the project library slid in and entered onto my screen. after repeated attempts to open the project in various ways, I have it now, but there are holes in the project window (blank background) and no scroll bars. It does not respond to anything.
can someone help?

I'm adding more information:
in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible. When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip. ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them.

Fcpx project not appearing in project library

A project that is in the Final Cut Projects folder, both within its own folder and in the FCP Projects folder, is not appearing in the Project Library within FCPX and therefore cannot be opened. This happened suddenly in the middle of an edit that had begun yesterday. The files imported into the appropriate FC Event folder is there and all the other FCP projects I've done which are visible in the FCP Projects folder in Finder are visible within the FCP Project library except this one. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Here are my events within Final Cut
And here are the "contents" of my folders within the "bees1" Library
A message popped up while I was editing saying my drive was almost full so I deleted files unrelated to the project or event I was working on this ended up happening. It is not the first time this happened.
Thank you for your time.

IMovie 11 project library does not play in viewer, iMovie 11 project library does not play in viewer

When I have my project library window open, and I want to view one of my projects in the viewer, it shows no video playing.

When I have my project library window open, and I want to view one of my projects in the viewer, it shows no video playing.

Importing my video from my event library into my project library, it shows the full width of the clip, but on the viewing section, it's zoomed in and cut the sides of the video off. How do I stop this from happening?

When importing my video from the event library to the project library, it's zooming in and
narrowing the width of my footage. How do I stop this from happening?

In the project, double-click on the clip to open the Clip Inspector. In the Clip tab you will see an item about two thirds down labelled "Stabilization". If checked, uncheck the box "Smooth clip motion".
Stabilizing clips causes a zoomed in effect, with the extent of the zoom dependent upon how shaky the footage is. There is a slider beneath the check-box labelled "Maximum Zoom" - this can be draggged back and forth to adjust the zoom effect if desired, once the clip has been stabilized.
You may have chosen to analyze clips for stabilization when importing to iMovie (that's a choice provided by iMovie upon import). If so, it's best to turn off an option in iMovie's preferences. Go to this from the iMovie menu item iMovie>Preferences. Click on the Browser tab and deselect (uncheck) the box labelled "Automatically stabilize clips that have been analyzed".
I prefer to import clips without analyzing, as this speeds up the import process. Afterwards, in the Event you can check for any overly shaky clips, then analyze them in the Inspector. If necessary, once dropped into a Project, you can stabilize them as desired. You can also stabilize clips directly in the Project without having to first analyze them in the Event.

Hi, my free trial license has expired, and I am wondering if it's possible to only pay for one month for after effects without locking for a year with monthly fee. I only need this for a project that is ending next week.

Importing clips from iMovie project (they keep ending up in the trash)

I have never tried to import other clips from another iMovie project before and I just tried it yesterday. This is what I did:
-I went into the other project and clicked on each individual clip from that project that I wanted (one at a time).
-I copied that clip and then saved it to the desktop
-From there I copied those clips to my external drive (which holds the new project that I am working on
-I then opened up the new project in iMovie
-I went to File<Import
-I selected the clips that I had copied over to the external drive
-I imported them
-They all showed up fine, they played fine and I was able to edit them and put them into the time line as well
The problem I face though is after I save the project and exit, the next time I open the project, each of those clips are missing and have been placed in the trash
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks ahead of time for your help!

It sounds like something may be preventing iMovie from properly saving the project on the external drive. The drive format may be wrong, or third-party software might be causing conflicts. More here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1852869#1852869
Another possibility is that you are opening the wrong project file saved inside the iMovie 5 project. If your project was originally an iMovie 4 project converted to iMovie 5 that's an easy mistake to make. More here:
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=1971832
Note that the copy/export/import routine you used can be simplified enormously. iMovie 5 lets us Copy and Paste clips much more simply. To copy clips from Project A to Project B, open Project A, select all the clips you want copied to Project B, choose Edit > Copy, open Project B, move the playhead where you want to place the clips, and Paste. iMovie will import all the files that support those clips from Project A to Project B. Note that it imports the entire file for the clip, not just the clip itself. That's so the clip inherits all the non-destructive editing features it had in Project A.
To avoid Project B becoming unnecessarily large, it's important to Copy and Paste all the clips you want together. If you copy two clips at the same time that share the same file iMovie imports their source file just one time. But if you Copy and Paste two clips that share the same source file separately, iMovie imports the same file twice.

Movie Clips in Event Library not Recognized By Project Library

I downloaded Photos but when working on a project in iMovie 9 my iPhoto videos were not found. However if I revert to using iPhoto I regain my ability to move selected photos into my iMovie project so for now I will simply not use Photos. However I still have a problem. The movie clips in the projects in my Project Library don't find the clips in the Event Library in the iPhoto Videos folder. I see either: "This clip's media file is not currently available" or "Source clip is missing." Is there some way to refresh iMovie? Fortunately the projects shared to iTunes are still intact.

Many who post here use Preference Manager from DIgital Rebellion to trash preferences. It's reliable and the price is right – free.
I assume you've tried different events on different drives and the no-playback problem persists.
And just out of curiosity, can you play clips in a project timeline or if you open the clip in its own time line? And does the skimmer skim?

How to view playing time of clips in Event or Project library ?

Hi
I have a 15 minute video and I want to extract clips say at 1:15-1:37 and add to project library. (Someone has send me the times at which to extract the clips)
I understand that clips work on frame basis rather than time basis, but still is there any way I can know what time the clip is running when I press space bar or place my curser on the clips .. something like time in status bar of any media player like VLC.
Thanks
Adi

Hi Adi,
You may have worked something out by now, but try the following:
From iMovie's menu select View>Playhead Info. In both the Events and Projects windows, as you skim across thumbnails you will see a black box with white text moving above the playhead. In Events, it will show just the creation date and time for each clip, which will not provide the information you need. However, in Projects, the box will show the elapsed time as well as the time recorded (shown incrementally).
So, I would suggest that you drag the full 15 minutes to the project. Now you will be able to find the exact time for each part you need for the project. Click and drag across the first section required (say 1:15 - 1:37) so that it is highlighted with a yellow border. Now control-click (or right-click) and select "Split Clip" from the pop-up menu. Continue to do this for any other sections you need to split from the main clip (or clips).
Finally, control-click (or right-click) on all the parts you don't need and select "Delete Selection" from the pop-up menu. The clips remaining in the project will be just those parts you've split from the full video.
TIP: In iMovie's menu select iMovie>Preferences and check (tick) the box labelled "Display time as HH:MM:SS:Frames". Now all times will be displayed down to the frame level.

Lost Project library files - edited functional film clips have caution d

I have edited a number of clips from one minute to 10. I left them in the project Library. They seemed fine and I left them there for later transfer to iDVD. Now a number of the files have caution ! sign and the edited project is non functional with only one frame.
I believe the event library is still OK so information is there to reedit- What has happened- can I somehow retrieve the Project library folders intact again?

Hey!!!!!
Your problem sound quite common. Is it possible that you deleted or moved any of the clips from their default location. iMovie always stores its clips and events in one place.
If you have moved ANYTHING that you used in the movie (pictures, music or clips) that could mess up the movie. I would advise not moving any of the elements of your movie until you have transfered it into a Quicktime movie.

How can i move video and music and narration all at once in the project library

how can i move video, narration and music all at once in the project library it is only moving the video

Select the directory with your pngs in it.
Right-click>Browse with Adobe Bridge
Select your pngs
Tools>Photoshop>Load to photoshop layers (not sure how many layers this can handle--you may wind up having to do this in batches)
Save your new psd
In Flash, create a new symbol with a blank timeline
Ctrl-R, navigate to the psd you made earlier
Select all the Photoshop layers
Check "create MovieClips for these layers."
Convert layers to keyframes or flash layers (not important, since you probaby don't need to keep this symbol)
OK
You'll have Movie Clips, not Graphic Symbols, but maybe you can write or find a JSFL to convert them and then you can block select them, click the Properties button, and change the type from MovieClip to Graphc.

How to relink clips THROUGH the new Project Library??

I updated everything to FCPX 10.1.1.
Some clips became unlinked. I go to link them ... and am stopped dead by the NEW Library Icon (with all it's internal folders no longer seemingly accessible). I know the file is in there - if I do a search in Finder for the missing media, it takes me right to where it is.
When I do a relink, stopped dead in my tracks by the new format.
How do I access the folders hidden in the new Project Library to relink my clips with their original media?

you miss the concept of Libs:
Libraries are no 'real world' folders, just a 'register' where is what .. in best-of-all-worlds, all data (audio, video, stills, projects ...) are on the same drive - but the concept of Libs allows data spread all across your network But handled as 'one', e.g to finally-save Projects, outsource old data etc ...
A Lib acts like a (super-)folder, but isn't. Simple example: a 10GB lib could fit on a 2GB drive! .. if data is spread on some other drives. But Finder says 'here', due to use of hard- or sym-links. ....
... I read in my searches that one doesn't have to have one's media stored in the Library, but I haven't found a protocol yet for saving media elsewhere.
It's always in some LIb, but not physically... s.above ...
.. One thing I can't figure out: Folders. I love folders. I use them all the time to organize.
obsolete,
get familiar with the concept of tags/keywords/smartlists.
example:
a clip is tagged x-mas, grandma, 2002, funny scene .. one clip, one storage location, many ways to find it.
now, your old drawer/folder system: the scene with grandma wearing a funny hat ... do I have to dig in folder 'videos2002' or 'videos2003'? sub-folder xmas or birthday? or is it n my 'out-takes drive'.. but under what name? your one clip can only be in one drawer... but should be found under several keywords... sooo?
Folders = old school
tags = much more convenient.
(plus: you can use tags very similiar as your old folders... but a computer is much faster in dig'n-search than you, manually
concerning re-linking:
I once had the effect, a 'lost' drive had to be re-mounted:
the red-icon-of-terror (cam missing), relink doesn't came up with a suggestion; clicked on import from camera, clicked to my cam-archive on some drive - and WHILE doing so FCPX instantly found the old connection (no re-import nor re-linking neccessary)..
That drive was unintended un-plugged while using FCPX ..... never happened again.

Missing movies in project since iOS 8 and iCloud Photo Library

Hi,
I've been to Europe this summer and created a movie in iMovie for iOS. That was when iOS 7.1.2 was the most current release. Today, I wanted to finish up my project. I'm currently running on iPad air, iOS 8.0.2, latest release of iMovie and iCloud Photo Library is enabled since day one. Opened the project and iMovie complained there was missing movies and offered me to search form them. It found 19 out of 40 or something. ***??? Now my movie timeline is filled with clip with exclamation mark and many transitions with pictures in them are missing too. I tryed to download clip that where in iCloud by tapping the Cloud icon but iMovie still cannot find them. How am I supposed to fix this now? My clips are there but iMovie cannot link to them... Apple, are you reading this forum?
JF

I recreated this same question here so it wouldn't show like its solved: Missing movie files in my project since iOS 8 and iCloud Photo Library
Hope we get an answer.

While working on FCPX project, power failed. Power on, restarted, opened FC, Project Library shows blank icon, no clips. Click on icon, nothing happens. Haven't done back-up. Can project be recovered?

While working on a FXPX project, there was a power failure. Power back on, restarted FCPX, project name in Project Library is a blank icon, nothing happens when I click on it. Believing back ups were automatic and continuous, I made no back up. Can the project be recovered?

Years of fine internet use via WIFI then randomly it starts dropping then one day (weeks later) it is no longer accessible at all and even saying "No hardware installed" when I click on WIFI icon at the top right on screen. Here is how I finally fixed it!:
For six months I wallowed in this problem and had to connect my macbook pro to the internet via ethernet cable which as you can image was very restrictive :/
I have had numerous laptop technicans befuddled by this WIFI problem and most concluding with how my WIFI card must be broken and that I will need to buy a new one. The last suggestion I had on the matter was to buy a USB wifi dongle.
So I ended up buying this one, http://www.asus.com/nz/Networking/USBN10_NANO/Unfortunately my macbook pro didn't want to read the install disc and it didn't autorun so it didn't work. After reading more forums I saw that you could download the program from the net and sure enough it worked.. BUT STRANGER when I took the USB dongle out the WIFI was still working!! The program appears to have reminded my four year old macbook pro that it is indeed WIFI capable.
So to find this miraculous program its located herehttp://www.asus.com/nz/Networking/USBN10_NANO/HelpDesk_Download/
Same link as above just under SUPPORT>Driver&Tools
You then click on a file when its downloaded and a file called MAC will appear, then click on install. Within 5 minutes you should have your WIFI back. My macbook pro crashed again today but without having to get the shortest ethernet cable you've ever seen out again - I was able to install the program again and WIFI was up and running once more. Moral of the story - didn't need to spend any money to fix this and not even using the USB dongle.
So happy!! Hope it works for you too!
This also worked on a MacBook that lost its WIFI when a user accounts password was changed and the keychain password wasn't known to them - another random way to lose WIFI apparently

How to move all thumbnail clips into project library for editing?

Hi there ...
I haven't used imovie 08 for quite a while ... and I've forgotten how to do a major step .. which is leading to a lot of frustration. I need to drag all my thumbnails into the project library and have them available for editing. ANy way I try it now .... it seems to create one big clip in the project library .. so when I want to add a title or something ... when I drag it over to the clip ... it selects to add to the whole movie. Somehow I need to retain the individual thumbnails or clips ... so when I try to add effects it is just added to one clip ... not all of them ...
I had this problem before and I can't remember how I moved all the separate clips from the event library to the project library and had them retain their individual clip format available for edit...
CAn anyone help me .... thanks ....

Hi,
This is a shot in the dark but: if it is anything like 09 there is a little slider in the bottom right hand corner of the project window which, if it is all the way to the right will only give you the whole movie.
Pull it to the left to give you different thumbnail settings.
Hope this works.
