Source Clips Missing After Moving Them

I found a few threads about this but I didn't find a solution that worked for me so I thought I ask again.
I just bought a new HD with Firewire 800. I moved all my events to it using iMovie '09 by holding the command key and "moving" them. Now my 20+ projects are all missing their source clips.
How can I help iMovie to find where the clips have been moved to?
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you are doing the Command-Drag from within iMovie?
You should see a small icon for your external drive in the Event Library List. Drag your Event from its place in the Event Library List for the internal drive to this icon while holding the command key.
You can also find detailed instructions for this in iMovie Help.

  • Source clips missing?

    so i was going to upload a video to youtube the day after i had deleted a bunch of old files. some of these files contained clips i was using for my video. i turned on my computer and went to upload the video. instead of the upper right hand box of Imovie showing my video it said "SOURCE CLIPS MISSING" in white letters.
    Please help me i will be extremely disappointed if all that work was for nothing

    You need the source clips if you want to render the movie again.
    If you have Shared a copy of the movie somewhere, you could upload that copy to YouTube. Did you share to iTunes, or to the Media Browser, or Export to QuickTime before destroying your video?

  • Accidentally split 2 events, now "source clip missing" in my project, HELP!

    Ok, so I've been working for weeks on a project, and I accidentally split an event into 2 events. Dumb I know, but I was trying to split a single clip. Anyway, it split the event and made 2 new events. I tried to "undo" but for some reason it didn't work. Now alot of the clips say "source clip missing". I looked in the trash and found my missing original event folder, but it's empty cos all the videos are still in the event, but under the 2 new events. I tried to put the folder back into imovie, I re-merged the 2 split events and renamed it the original name (after someone on a forum suggested this) and nothing works. I am freaking out! It is crazy cos all the video is still there (at least I think it is). Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!!!

    Thank You Sameer. It worked. Now I can close this issue.
    Regards,

  • All clips missing after import from camcorder!

    All clips are missing after import from camcorder - Canon ZR20.  For some tapes all clips are there, for others there are none.  All the files are there in the finder, but I don't know how to have them show up in Final Cut Pro X.
    Any suggestions?

    Ok - this is frustrating.  I have been importing my old miniDV tapes again into FCPX as I wasn't able to transfer all of these projects from iMovie - don't get me started...  After importing about 7 of the tapes the first 3 came in fine, but the last 4 didn't have any clips as I said in my original posting.  Now after restarting FCPX a couple of times all of a sudden the clips are all coming in!  Strange!  Guess I'm OK now.

  • User and Computer memberships are missing after moving computer and user objects using ADMT

    Hi to everybody.
    Source domain Windows 2003. Destination domain Windows 2008. I use ADMT 3.2
    I have noticed 2 issues:
    1. After migrating users, membership to all Bultin domain groups, is lost. Migration of custom groups is completed without any problems prior to start migrating users.
    a. Example 1: user in source domain belongs to Domain Admins, Domain Users and a custom Domain group with the name Test. After moving the user, the membership is as follow: Domain Users and Test! And the worst of all
    is that I believe that Domain users membership was not produced by the migration but from the AD mechanism that automatically gives every new user the Domain Users membership. Look at example 2.
    b. Example 2:user in source domain belongs only to the Domain group with the name Test. After moving the user, the membership is as follow: Domain Users and Test! 
    2. After migrating a computer account from source domain to destination domain I have noticed in the "Local Users and Groups" that the Domain Admins  membership in the Administrators group is missing. 
    Any ideas? I think I am missing something fundamental here. 
    Thank you all in advance. 

    additionally, from the migration log I see the following
    WRN1:7372 ADMT does not process BUILTIN accounts or change the membership of BUILTIN groups (Administrators,
    etc.).
    there is 1 line of the above WRN for each builtin group that the user belongs in the source domain. This
    means that there I have to do this membership update manually? And what if I have 1500 users and 300 groups? 

  • Source files missing after wsus install

    2 days ago I decided to install WSUS and SUP on our SCCM 2012 server and all was going good until this am when I discovered the folder that I keep all of my software deployment  in under the sourcefiles share was empty. I did take a snapshot
    of the server before I started the install and everything seemed to go well, I could see my updates and it was syncing fine. Now if I boot the server normally the folders disappear under \sourcefiles\applications. If I boot to the snapshot they are there but
    after a while they disappear as well and the updates show up under software updates without the wsus role installed on the server. I can see the folder right now and I am copying the contents to an external drive. I had setup windows server backup to back
    up my whole hyper-v server sccm and sql are on the same box but I could not get backups to open at all, so this snapshot and the one I did when we did the initial install are all that I have. I have the sourcefiles shared out and mapped to my desktop and the
    size of the share keeps changing as well.

    I'M pretty sure I had WSUS configured right, I have a lab at my house and it is working fine although it is on Sever 2008 and is 3.0 not 4.0. I have made some progress today, I found this blog about SCCM 2012 and WSUS last night which really helped. I removed
    WSUS this morning and the updates were still there but if I read the article correctly it says they will remain in sccm for 7 days when they are "tombstoned" so we will see. I am running a scheduled sync right now and it's almost done but I have also created
    a folder under software updates and moved all of the files there. During my sync I have been doing a search on that folder for expired "no" and selecting all and moving them back to the root folder.

    Anyway thanks for your help

  • How to keep the previous versions of my iWork files after moving them?

    I have several iWork files which were stored in the iCloud. Today I was trying to move them into my USB drive. But after I moved them, I found that all the previous versions of these files were gone. If I moved them from iCloud to my Mac, those previous versions stayed there, but they would be gone if I moved the files into the USB drive.
    Is there any way that I can keep the files' previous versions after moving to a USB drive? My USB drive is in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.
    Thank you!

    I am sorry that I didn't make my point clear enough. By "previous versions" I mean "File > Revert To > Browse All Versions". If I moved my files to a thumb drive then it will become empty, I am wondering is there any way to prevent it from being erased. Thank you!

    Well sorry about the duplicate posts, I got no idea which Community I should post in and I wish as many people can see my question as possible.
    And you didn't solve my problem at all. I want my files ON the thumb drive but STILL have those previous versions. Thanks.

  • Audio disappears from clips after moving them around in between track Premiere

    I was working with multiple video clips and movement them around not paying attention to how it was overlapping the audio sometimes. When I finally finished my audio from alot of the clips I cropped have disappeared.
    How do I get/link them back?
    Videos are Estill there just no sound

    I'm guessing you accidentally overlayed some of them while you were working.
    A quick way to fix this is to put your playhead (CTI) over a clip you want to add the sound back to, select it, and then press 'f' to match frame back to the original. This will load the original clip with the in and out marks set in your source window and you can drag it down to overlay the clip with the missing audio. This will replace the original clip and audio.

  • Why are some clips missing after migrating to my new Mac?

    My old Macbook Pro died so I got a new one and have migrated my data to the new one from a Time Machine backup. However, after doing this iMovie is telling me a lot of clips are missing. Many of them are still in tact, but in a lot of cases I see a message like: Missing File "clip-2012-09-13 07;52;06 (id)" is missing. Try reimporting the original source media. I'm using iMovie 10.0.6 and Yosemite (on both the old and new Mac).
    Can anybody tell me how I can fix this?
    Thanks

    If it matters, I have a Canon camcorder and imported the clips using a firewire cable. The external drive is connected via a second firewire cord to the other firewire port.

  • Video + music missing after moving iphoto + itunes to external drive

    There is probably a really obvious answer to this but I have tried searching without success. I have just moved my iphoto and itunes libraries to an external drive to free up space on my HD. Do I have to do the same with imovie in order for the music and iphoto video clips in my existing projects to work properly? Or can you redirect iMovie 09 to look for these files on the external drive (as you do with iphoto and itunes)?
    At the moment in imovie the iphoto video icon still appears under my HD even though I have moved the library and the iphoto video clips and itunes tracks I've used in my projects are now labelled missing with yellow exclamation marks. How do I fix these broken links? I understand I can drag events over to the ext drive but my iphoto videos are not listed as an event.
    Many thanks!

    UPDATE! According to Apple support, there is no way to re-link those assets. They suggested two options, 1) recreate the folder structure with the missing music on HD1. I tried that but was unsuccessful. 2) Place the music again into the project. I have a lot of music with edits and did not want to use this time consuming approach, but surprisingly after replacing the first song, all the songs updated. Unusual workaround. HTH, Scott

  • Can't drag/delete files from C Drive after moving them into the D Drive

    Like many others, I have depleted my C Drive space and needed to move my iTunes folder into mt D Drive. I got these instructions from iTunes which tell me that after I have moved the files into the D Drive to find the old files in my C Drive and just drag them into the recycle bin. When I try that it tells me it can't be done because of copywrite protection issues. I need to free up that C Drive space by getting rid of those files. Can anyone help with this? I'd preferr an e-mailed answer if you could. Thanks.

    When I try that it tells me it can't be done because of copywrite protection issues.

  • Unviewable iMovie projects after moving them to external hard drive

    I moved my imovie 09 projects to an external hard drive using the finder window, did not move them in imovie and now they are unviewable in imovie. Is there any way will be able to view them again in imovie??? I thought maybe they needed to be in the internal hard drive for some reason, so I tried to move them back to "Movies" in my internal HD, but it didn't work either. I read in some other forums that they would not have their path links copied over if I did the moving in finder. Please tell me there's a way to recover my projects!

    Well, you have a couple options. First shut down iTunes. Then unmount your HD. Then mount your external HD again, then after it pops up on your desktop, launch iTunes. Any files iTunes has that points to your ext. HD should play just fine.
    Or, you can copy all your music to your ext. HD (if you don't already have it there), and simply delete your iTunes library (by removing your data files). You could then add to library, making sure you uncheck "copy itunes songs to music folder). This way, iTunes will only "point" to your ext. drive to play the music. If the drive isn't on, you don't get any music, and the "!" sign. If you have many playlists, this can be tricky.
    As a rule, I don't go crazy with playlists, other than smart playlists. This way, you don't go nuts when you lose your data file, or want to do a clean update of your library. You'd be surprised at the times I thought I kept my library in tip-top shape, only to delete it and add the music again. I often find a song or two that I had hidden somewhere.

  • Should I delete files after moving them to a shared folder

    I just transfered files from the hard drive to a shared folder so that both users on the computer could have access to the files.  I was wondering if I should delete them from the hard drive and leave them only in the shared folder since it is about 100GB of stuff?
    Thanks

    I just transfered files from the hard drive to a shared folder so that both users on the computer could have access to the files. I was wondering if I should delete them from the hard drive and leave them only in the shared folder ...
    if you just dragged & dropped them in the finder, the files will have been moved, not copied, to the shared folder. there shouldn't be any originals in the original location.

    Hi,
    We are using OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0 Repo Version 318 with Multi User Development (MUD).
    After few development checkins and checkouts from MUD repository, Sources folders disappeared for all Logical tables in BMM Layer. We can see Business Model Diagram and all joins and other info. All the attributes are mapped correctly.
    We can double click the LT and see all the sources in Source Tab. Any idea what caused it how to fix it ?

    If you use the multiuser development (MUD) environment, be aware that an issue has been identified that causes the Oracle BI repository to become corrupt when MUD objects are deleted. The corruption manifests itself as crashes during consistency checks and when certain utilities are run, such as extractprojects.
