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.

Are the iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folders needed?

I'm using version 10.0.6 of iMovie and moved some of my projects to an external HD using File > Move Events to Library. I noticed in my Movies folder in my home directory that the related project folders under iMovie Events and iMovie Projects weren't moved. It seems that these are left over after upgrading iMovie and that it just uses the iMovie Library and iMovie Theater bundles. Can the iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folders be safely deleted?

Yes they can be deleted if you have moved all the projects you want to work further on to iMovie 10, have checked that they are working OK, and are happy with switching permanently to iMovie 10. (There's no going back).
On the other hand if you leave them you can still use the earlier version of iMovie.

PROBLEM WITH iMOVIE PROJECT CONVERSION TO QT

I occasionally have strange things happen when converting iMovie (DV) projects to 'full quality' QT.dv files.
Example: footage transferred from a visually pulsating image (originated on a 1920s 30 line mechanical TV scanner invented by J L Baird) has an acceptable rippling effect seen in iMovie. When converted to a QT (full quality) file the rippling becomes a rapid strobing flicker, ie something is changed in conversion. And, DVDs made from each - from the iMovie project and from its QT conversion - produce these same effects.
Any info on what happens in conversion to QT causing this problem?

Well...thanks a lot for ur help...!
But...somehow, I feel the settings of my Top-Link Db-Adapter are fine...
(B'coz as far as i can remember, i haven't meddled with it since creating/configuring the DB-Adapter in my ESb project...and there, i could specify my DB Connection ( say, DBConnection1, & could later import the Exact Table i wanted as an Offline Data source (for the routing rule..for Mapping the fields..) )
...i somehow believe there should be a problem with the <ORACLE_HOME>\j2ee\home\application-deployments\default\DbAdapter\oc4j-ra.xml
B'coz as Marc pointed out, i couldn't see any data-source with JNDI name loc/DBConnection1DataSource in my EM console...
So, i tried creating a new data-source there & pointed it to one of the existing connection-pools in the file :-
<ORACLE_HOME>/j2ee/home/config/data-sources.xml
In this connection-pool, i basically set the proper connection-string ("jdbc.thin.....") to point to the proper SID...( as i had set up & tested in my JDeveloper Database Connection..)
Hope my approach is right..??
Or..am i missing something here..??
Thanks a lot again....!

Impact on merging iPhoto events on iMovie projects?

I have made several iMovie projects, primarily using photos from various related events in iPhoto. If I merge the iPhoto events where the pictures are currently located, will the iMovie projects be impacted / ruined / need to be started over?
I am working with the last iMovie and iPhoto BEFORE iLife '11 (have not upgraded to '11 out of fear of losing photos, etc.). OS s/b most up-to-date Snow Leopard version. Hardware is a MacBook Pro purchased in summer 2010.

iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - is the only solution currently to merge events between different computers

Trouble with imovie projects

Hi,
I have a large imovie project, but want to finish it in FCE. How do I import it so A) it will play? B) not have a tone opf space inserted between clips?
What am I doing wrong? HELP.

If you can live with one long clip (that you can cut up as needed in FCE) you can make a dv stream out of your iMovie project and import that. You will have to render the audio and may run into the problem I did of "Out of Memory" when rendering the audio. But you can probably fix the memory problem by erasing unneeded render files.

Connect event with to-do item

Hi,
is it possible to connect an event with an to-do item in iCal?
For example I have a meeting (event) next week and have to do a research (to-do item) before this event.

Bug continues on 10.5.1: After editing, a duplicate of the note is sometimes created that reflectes the state of the note some time before the editi was made (often part way though). For a while, the note and the duplicate just hang out, then after a while (often after restarting Mail, it seems) both the duplicate and the original copies itself every time it is touched. Deleting any of the copies destroys any todo information in all of the notes derived from the original note, and deletes all notes with the same name (usually all the notes derived from the original, unless some renaming was done in an attempt to rescue the situation).

Help with imovie project got deleted??!

when i was finished with my imovie, i dragged the document to my flash drive. when i ejected it and went back to imovie the entire project was deleted. even on the flash drive the project was deleted. only the videos which i created were there, not the slides. i know i did not delete anything and i checked the trash and it was no in there. is there any way i can get it back??

There may be more than one cause for this error, but in most cases the project to be published includes short clips of less than about 1.5 seconds duration.
Duplicate the project. From the duplicate, delete the short clips and try to publish. If that doesn't solve the problem, see the comments of Didorx in this thread and of jguttenberg in this thread.

Problem with iMovie project

i can not read my project in my imovie

I know what the problem is, it's related to Time Machine on laptops running the 10.7 Lion OS.
This requires using the Terminal app, in your Applications/Utilities folder
To turn off Time Machine snapshots type in the following command:
sudo tmutil disablelocal
The Mac will likely ask for your password, so type it in and hit the return key. The type the word, exit and hit return. Quit Terminal.
Open iMovie and try doing another export and see if the same error message pops up.

Server does not get a socket connect event with Apache MINA

I have this weird problem that was recently detected.
I have a server written with the Apache MINA framework that runs a Linux machine with 64 bit server JVM 6.0.
The server accept sockets from clients using our own proprietary protocol, and everything works ok for some time.
After a couple of hours, the server seems to stop getting the socket accept events (in MINA, the sessionOpened event) and the socket close event.
It seems that we can open a socket to the JVM, but the application does not know about it.
Does anyone got something like this with MINA or NIO?
Any idea?
Thanks
Ran.

Ok fixed.

At wit's end with imovie project -- need Help!

Aloha:
I am in the middle of doing a documentary movie of the yearly Air Show put on by my RC model airplane club. Over the past several years I have made a handful of other documentaries and all with out problem, they worked just fine.
On this one, however, I have run into problems that are new and completely frustrating. I have finished editing the movie and all works well in the iMovie mode. I can play the entire movie and all the parts and pieces work just fine. But when I burn the results onto a DVD some scenes (only a few) lose camera audio. This is also true if I export it to Quicktime.
My movie uses camera audio, imported background music and narrative voice-over. And all those play just fine in the iMovie program. But there are several spots where the camera audio doesn't come across in the final product, just total silence except for the background music or any voice-over narrations that may be present during those times. The camera audio just does not come through.
I am at wit’s end and need some help. Has anyone come across this and what did you do to fix it?
Thanks

Hi: Thank you very much for the rapid come back, most appreciated.
Hi Dan
A wild guess. Can it be so that those clips are
recorded in Your Camera with
the sound set to 12-bit (often factory/default set).
Should be 16-bit
I'll check the camera for that, but the same camera was used in all the clips and only two or three were missing audio when exported.
Try to extract the missing sounds from each clip and
redo a disk image in
iDVD and see if the sound is back.
That sounds like a great diagnostic and should be far less time consuming than burning a DVD.
Thanks for the hints.

Connect external hard disk with iMovie

I bought a new external hard disk and would like to connect that with iMovie. The disk is formatted with Mac format. When I start iMove, I can see the hard disk appeared in the Event Library. However, I cannot move the file into it and there is a yellow triangle signal appeared. Would you please kindly advise how to deal with it? Many thanks!

Hi
The disk is formatted with Mac format.
Mac can open and use many different formatting's - but for Video only one works (as I know off)
• Video - Mac OS Extended (hfs) (journaled or not)
Not - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for much BUT NOT FOR VIDEO.
Else - there is a size problem too
I just bought a 2Tb HD and was not able to format it unless I partitioned it into smaller volumes - I think that about 750Gb is OK so I made 4x500Gb. Then it was formatted OK.

How do I tranfer iMovie projects/events to another iMac

I have a new iMac and want to move all the iMovie events and projects from the old iMac to the new one.
How do I do that?
Thanks,
Hal

Hi,
I didn't understand the directions in those links.
Let me state the problem a different way.
I have an old iMac, with an iMovie library, iMovie events, and iMovie projects, in the Movies folder.
I have an external drive.
Do I copy the iMovie library, iMovie events, and iMovie project to the external drive? And if I do, if I choose one of the event and click on it, does it open and play from the external drive?
If that is correct, do I then copy the iMovie library, iMovie events, and iMovie projects to the new iMac? And if so, where do I put them? There are already empty folders in the Movies folder. Do I trash them?
Thanks,
Hal

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.

Can Quicktime Updates interfere with saved iMovie projects?

Hello.
I'm just about to do an update to the latest Quicktime and I wondered if these updates can cause any problems with iMovie projects that have been made and saved on my computer with older Quicktime versions?
Thanks
Rich

Thanks Bengt,
But how about after a project is fully completed and burned to DVD but still remaining stored on the computer as a final iMovie project. In case you want to burn it again or just play it on the computer, will that original iMovie on the computer be confused by a newer Quicktime Update? I have all mine still saved as both disc images and also the original project. I know a disc image will not be affected but I was curious about the original project?

Deleted iMovie projects recovered with DataRescue II

Hello all,
I had 2 iMovie projects stored on my iPod. When the iPod failed to communicate with iTunes, I restored the iPod. When I remembered about the iMovie projects I promptly cursed and kicked the dog (no, not really).
I used Data Rescue (full version) to scan the iPod drive and recovered about 20 GB worth of movie files. The .mov files are stored in the Quicktime folder and .iMovieProj files in iMovie folder. I am not able to open the files except for 2 .mov files. I tried to import the files into a new iMovie project without luck.
So am I screwed?
Any help would be appreciated.

My guess is the prospects for recovery aren't good.
From reports posted here, file recovery software never seems to work well with iMovie projects. The only comments I recall seeing are similar to yours: "It's not working — what can I do?"
iMovie projects are actually folders that contain other folders and files. Unless the recovery software knows how to re-build the folder as it was before it was discarded, recovery isn't going to work. (iMovie is very particular about what goes on inside the folder.)
Your best bet is to try playing the Timeline Movie.mov that was inside the "Cache" folder of the project. It's a "smart" QuickTime reference movie, with pointers to the files that were in the project's Media folder. If all those files were recovered it's possible the reference movie can still play the project. If it does, then you could import it to a NEW iMovie project. Most likely, however, it won't be able to play everything from start to finish. If something is still missing, or the pointer is useless, the movie won't play.
