Updating projects maade in iMovie HD

I have some iMovie projects that were made in iMovie HD stored on my old iPod. When I open them up in FCE, I hear the beeping described in the FAQ that happens when there's an unsupported audio format. What I'm confused about is that the audio that won't play, is the audio that was imported with the video from the DV camcorder. How do I convert that to AIFF?
I'm new to FCE so any tips would be greatly appriciated. Thanks a lot!
Alex

Hi Alex.
Usually beeping audio can be "cured" simply by rendering it. (Just select the track and click Command R).
I have never had a problem using non-AIFF files - other than having to render them, which is a very quick process.
I don't know about iPods - but do they store music as AAC files?
To convert files to AIFF, import them into iTunes and use the Advanced menu to change them. (You may need to alter the Import setting in the Preferences. Select Preferences>Advanced>Importing and make sure it is set to AIFF).

What is the 'Updated Projects' folder in iMovie 10?

I installed iMovie 13 and I'm totally confused by the new layout. Specifically, it's not clear to me what happened to my projects and events.
I see three top levels in the sidebar:
*All Events: This seems to show all my imported events.
*All Projects: This seems to show all my improved projects. So far so good.
*iMovie Library: This seems to contain all my imported events (how is this different from the All Events?). It also contains a folder called 'Updated Projects', an event which contains all my imported projects (why are my projects in an event?? And how is this different from the 'All Projects' view?)
The old layout was so simple - Events and Projects. The new layout is utterly confusing. Any help would be appreciated.

I really find what they've done to be very confusing. Even if you don't compare it to how things used to be in the last version. Why is a movie Project inside an Event? I have 6 Events from a recent vacation. Each location that I visited is logically an Event. It was something that happened in a point in time. I believe that's a reasonable definition of an Event. Now I want to make a "vacation movie" and it wants me to pick which event it's associated with. Well, 6 of them... now what? So I have to create a container Event just to put the movie inside it? That makes no sense to me. I rate this new approach a D-.

Cannot See 'Updated' projects in iMovie Library

Recently updated to iMovie 10.01 and then 10.02. Originally had the Updated Projects event and the Finalized Movies Event showing in the iMovie Library, but they are no longer there. I can 'see' them in the finder, looking at the iMovie and the show package contents....
Is there way to get iMovie to 'see' these events again?
PS: more info, this orginated while I was cleaning up some of my events and clips, putting them in the trash. I mistakenly put these in the trash, but hit the undo button and they seemed to reappear. Next opening of iMovie they were gone (but still in the finder as above).

Try to find them in your medialibrary. iMovie folder, your library, right mouse click - "open a contents package"

HT202853 I have many project made in move HD that are not updating to the new iMovie 10 on my new iMac. Why is this not working as stated? How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

According to:
Update projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014) - Apple Support
you can update from iMovie versions 7, 8 and 9, but iMovie HD is iMovie 6.
Maybe you can update in two steps, first from iMovie 6 to iMovie 7, 8 or 9 then to iMovie 10.

Do you have Projects and Events form an earlier version of iMovie?

I am attempting to update from iMovie 9 to iMovie 10. I have many movies with iMovie 9. Yet, on iMovie 10, when I press "update projects and events", it states "iMovie could not find any projects or events to update". What do I do?

I am attempting to update from iMovie 9 to iMovie 10. I have many movies with iMovie 9. Yet, on iMovie 10, when I press "update projects and events", it states "iMovie could not find any projects or events to update". Somehow it doesnt' see all the movies I have on iMovie 9 library. What do I do?

I'm dealing with this same issue. At one point, it did recognize the Update function but then said it could not import the cache.mov and plist files which apparently means that imovie 10 can't see any of these past events. I can't figure it out.

Updated to iMovie version 10.0 Opened it. All my clips and projects were there. Then it crashed. Now no clips no projects. If I try and import them they are dimmed. If I try and 'update projects and events' a dialogue box says no files found.

Have macbook pro 2012, running Maverick. Updated to iMovie version 10.0 Opened it. All my clips and projects were there. Then it crashed. Now no clips no projects. If I try and import them they are dimmed. If I try and 'update projects and events' a dialogue box says no files found.
Have tried restarting computer, no joy. Help!!

The reply from Nerval fixed it. It is very simple and it works.
If you have a lot of Projects and Events, leave the iMovie running for a long time. I had 160G and it took 4hrs. It is doing it in the background so don't shutdown too quick.
Thanks Nerval.

HT6012 While trying to update projects and events from a previous version of iMovie to iMovie '11, someone forced iMovie to quit. Now when I start iMovie '11 and try to update, a message says no projects or events can be found? Any suggestions?

While trying to update projects and events from a previous version of iMovie to iMovie '11, someone forced iMovie to quit. Now when I start iMovie '11 and try to update, a message says no projects or events can be found? I know there are previous projects and events, and they definitely have not been updated because they do not show up in my iMovie'11 library, events, or projects. Any suggestions?

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
I am running Yosemitie on a iMac.

IMovie 10 crashes when attempt to update projects and events of external HDs.

No way to update projects and events. Crash every time after few minutes of processing. Without external HD, works fine. To access older projects and work on it, the only way seems to be uninstal iMovie 10 and return to 9.

I do not have exactly the same issue, but iMovie 10 seems buggy as all get out and the alledged bugs cause the system to hang something fierce. There are a number of ways to trigger a crash, apparently, but it always proceeds the same way.
The screen - the display - goes all big pixelly and wonky. The computer becomes partially unresponsive. Controls in the apple menu at left end of menu bar work, so I can try some things. Relaunching finder does not help. Logging out does not help. Only shutdown and reboot clears the screen.
But after a few minutes of trying things in iMovie 10, it crashes again. The crash goes the same way each time, but it seems to be triggered by different things.
I have added screen shot - (hope I added a screen shot, anyway. ) Too bad. I think I like iMovie 10.

Imovie crashes when updating projects and events

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.

How to organize "updated projects"

I have a lot of Imovie 9 projects that were put in the "Updated Projects" folder when importing to imovie 10. They are all sort of in a jumbled mess in that folder. Is there anyway to organize these projects and events into some way using the date they were created? All of these projects seem to have the same date in that Updated projects folder.
My imovie 9 does still exist and everything is organized there but i would like to use imovie 10 from now on if possible.
Thanks so much
Ross

With the fundamental chage in the way stuff is stored in iMovie 10, there is no automatic way to organise but you can move projects and clips between events and you can move events between libraries. You might want to move each of your updated projects into the event it belongs to. You can create as many libraries as you want and can choose to open only those containing projects you are currently working on.
See: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov3fa25bae7
To organize by date you can of course include the date in event and library names. Within events clips appear according to their timestamp and you can choose to group clips by date within an event. (View - Show Separate Days in Events).
Its a very flexible system but a bit of a pain for people who have a lot of stuff organized the 'old' way.
Note: Some people are reporting problems with wrong timestamps - but AVOID using the Modify - Adjust Clip Date and Time function since there is currently a nasty bug which can cause adjusted clips to disappear.
I hope this helps.

Sharing projects between macs (iMovie 2014)

Hi guys, I just want to ask... how can I share my projects between my iMac and my Macbook air? I started one project in one of them and now I must finish it in the other one.
I found this (in spanish) but is for iMovie '11 and it doesn't work. (iMovie '11: Copiar o mover un proyecto a un disco rígido externo) and I've iMovie 10.0.4.
Thank you in advance.

Hey Espartak
I've retraced my steps and I think I missed a stage in my instuctions above, so here is some revised instructions. Item 4 has changed from my original
I am using iMovie 10.0.4
1. Create a new iMovie library and savedit on an external hard drive with a different name to the current Library. File>open Library>New
You will then see the new library and the old library in the left hand panel.
2. Drag your movie events from one library to the other and this then copies the files into the new library.
3. Ctrl click on the event you have just copied and click “Consolidate Event Media” this will make sure the files are copies to the new library.
4. In the left had column there is “ALL PROJECTS” but there is also an item called “UPDATED PROJECTS” mine appears in my library list under 2013 ?? I don’t know why that is, maybe it is when I updated iMovie? Anyway in here you will find all of the projects again only from here you can move them around. Select the project that you want to copy and drag and drop it over the name of the event in the new library. Then when you click on that event you can see that the project is also there.
5. Once finished click on the new library in the left hand panel Ctrl click and click close library
6. Plug in your external drive to your other Mac. You can either copy your new library from you external drive or leave it there. Open iMovie
7. Find the new library on your external drive/or mac and double clicked it. This then openes iMovie and it imported all of the projects as well as the events.
See if that works for you

My iMovie projects in the iMovie theater will not play

Back story:
Well I have just updated imovie. I then had a lot of promblems with this "updated project" folder. So, to be safe I shared all my projects to itunes and the theater(. Then I delted that folder. All my projects were delted so, I was gald I shared them. My computer has been running faster now. But now I can only find 4 out of my 49 projects in itunes and the imovie theater. I can see them in the theater but they wuill not play. The drop down shows that I can do only two things with most of my projects, delte them or rename them. I notcied before I delted the folder that I could play 4 of them. I did not think that delting that folder would effect the sharing so I delted it. The number of playble pojects have not chaged in over a day.
Question:
I belive I have lost the projects because I delted "updated projects" before they were shrared compltly and they will never play. But can somene answer these questions?
-Can I get these projects to play in imovie theater?
-Can I retrive these files in another way?(ex. find them in another folder)
-Will they necver play so i should just delte the files.
I am sorry about my spelling.

I tried moving it to anohter file and it did not work. I control clicked on them and there was something that said purge cache for selection and I clicked that and now they all play. Thanks for your help though!

HELP! Project due! iMovie 06 acting weird!

Sorry
Somehow I accidently posted this in the iMovie 08 discussions and I realize it needs to be in this section -- so here's my question:
Hi! I'm hoping someone can help us! My daughter has been working on a short 10 min historical documentary in iMovie 6.0.3 Everything was going great (we use this program often.) It has lots of still image clips that pan in out with the ken burns effect. She added audio to it using Quicktime audio files (which before she just drag and dropped into the timeline -- now she had to move them into iTunes and add them from the media window but that is no problem really except it seemed like the program was acting squirrely) She has had to redo some of the audio recordings and as a result some of the lengths of the photo image clips need to be changed. The problem is that suddenly all the clips are dimmed in the timeline (they weren't last night!!!) and we cannot grab the edge of a clip/image and lengthen it. It won't show us the little handle thing. We can change the length manually in the photo settings window but it's a real pain since we have to mess with it to get it it to just the right length!!
I have no idea what changed -- what we might have accidently reset. I have shut down and restarted the program and the computer several times. I have checked the preferences and then discarded the preferences list and emptied the trash and restarted the computer. I have tried to open other iMovie projects that we have started and the timeline items are dimmed on those, too!
What did we do? And how can I change it -- this is at a bad time since this is now due for a competition and she needs to fix these items before she can submit it!
Thanks so much for your help!!!!

Check to make sure that iMovie has sufficient free disk space to operate--at least 10GB. Update all of your iLife programs to current versions. Then do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility app on your Mac. Do the permissions repair whether or not you update.
Usually when iMovie acts strangely, it often helps to close iMovie and trash the file com.Apple.iMovie.plist located in User/Library/Preferences. But, you said you already did that.
Good luck with this.
