Way to Import whole Event to Project in iMovie 08?

I would like to take ALL my clips from a particular event and put them into a Project... and I can only find where you drag them one at a time. And that is... well... a DRAG!
I tried to drag the whole event in, but it would not let me.
Any other way?
Thanks!
Aimee

    How do you import final cut pro projects into imovie?
    (like you create a project in final cut but i want to save it, and import it into imovie..

    Hi -
    Mr. Ross is right, there is no direct way to export your project with all it's elements into iMovie.
    If, on the other hand, you have a completed sequence in FCP that you want to export as a finished element, then import into iMovie for you to re-edit or apply titles, music, etc. you would:
    In FCP:
    Click on the Sequence Icon you want to export in your browser.
    Go to the menu File > Export > Quicktime Movie. Give your movie a name a navigate to where you want it stored. Make sure you choose Settings: Current Settings and have the Make Movie Self Contained checked. Click Save.
    Close FCP and open iMovie.
    In iMovie:
    Go to the menu File > Import > Movies and navigate to the movie you just exported from FCP. Choose if you want your movie imported in it's original size, etc.
    Click Import. Your movie will be imported into iMovie.
    Note that using this method only gives you only the elements that made up your FCP sequence, so this may not give you the flexibility you need.
    Hope this helps.

  • Importing iPhoto Events as Projects

    I tried importing my entire iPhoto library (~480 events) using the conventional command (file>import>iphoto library) but when it was done (hours later) only a handful of events were converted to projects, the rest placed in one big iphoto folder.
    There is an Import icon that gets me to my Events in iPhoto, which when imported individually, properly generates a Project. But each Event has to be imported one at a time!
    Is there a way to select and import all Events?
    Thanks!
    Eddie

    Yea, it is too bad. But in my case I found this to be productive, as I had many events that have been combine in one project alone with multiple albums in it. For instance, pictures I took of the same site but in different season or something like this. iPhoto classified them as 2+ events, and in a way it is true, but on a project based system, I find this more interesting to have them in one event and multiple albums in it.

  • Where to store and later import an event and project again?

    The boxes with events and projects are becoming overloaded so i want to remove them from there.
    But how to remove and how te restore if i want to alter things or go further in an earlier made project/event?
    Thanks,
    bruce

    You can use the Event Manager X application to selectively activate or deactivate events and projects.
    You can also do it manually: create new folders, say "Final Cut Events (Disabled)" and "Final Cut Projects (Disabled)", beside the normal "Final Cut Events" and "Final Cut Projects" folders.
    When FCP X is NOT running, drag any events or projects that you want to disable to these new folders. FCP X will now only see the ones remaining in their original locations.
    If you want to use them later on, just move them back (again, when FCP X is NOT running).
    (Note: the above procedure is exactly how Event Manager X works, though the folders it creates may have slightly different names, the principle is the same; it just presents a nice interface with checkboxes for you to select the events and projects and then silently moves them as needed)

  • Can I open Final Cut Pro X Archives, Events or Projects in iMovie?

    I did  a trial version of FInal Cut Pro X for a month and imported some events, did some archiving and a couple of projects. I don't think I'll end up buying FCP X - at least not for now as Imovie seems to cover my needs. Is there a way for me to move these archives, events and/or projects to iMovie?

    If you imported your media with transcoding or copy options, then you can recover those files from the Final Cut Events > EventName > Original Media folder (as long as they are not aliases to the originals.)  If you archived originals on Import you can retreive your media from the archive (looks like a film "can") by right-clicking and selecting Show Package Contents (you should see basically the same layout as is on your memory card in your camera.) Just go in and drag them out, then trash the archive. Other than that, the data saved in the Final Cut Projects folder is pretty useless for any other app.

  • Trouble moving events or projects in iMovie 11 to ext. hard drive

    I'm trying to move iMovie 11 events (or projects) to my external hard drive but keep getting this message:  This file could not be copied:  /Users/hopkinssm/Movies/iMovie Events.localized/Conducting_2_14/iMovie Thumbnails/clip-2013-02-14 09;37;20  (File not found).
    I have done this in the past with no problem.  I've looked at the instructions again to make sure I was doing it right.  I know the files are on my hard drive because iMovie is able to access them and will allow me to view, edit, etc.
    Any ideas?

    More I know
    THE External Hard Disk ! Must be.
    • Mac OS Extended formatted ! (mine are journaled)
    UNIX / DOS / FAT32 / Mac Exchange - Will do for most OTHER things - BUT NOT FOR VIDEO what ever program used - iMovie, FinalCut, iDVD etc . It just doesn't work and especially so when files get's more than 2-4Gbs big and this can happen any-time.
    When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
    • iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
    • Creating a new User-Account and log into this - forces iMovie to create all pref. files new and error free
    • Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
    • a codec is used that doesn't work
    • problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
    • version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
    • preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
    • other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
    • External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
    ( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
    • USB-flash-memories do not work
    • Net-work connected hard disks - do not work
    • iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
    This You do by
    _ close iPhoto
    _ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    _ now select all five options presented
    _ WAIT a long long time
    • free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
    • external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
    • GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
    • Screen must be set to million-colors
    • Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
    • Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
    • Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
    • Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
    • In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
    (I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
    buenrodri wrote
    I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
    Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

  • Anyone know of a way to import .mov file extension files into imovie '09?

    Great forum. Thanks.
    I can't seem to import a movie file with a ".mov" suffixe.
    Most of the older finished work i have is in that format. I have since begun exporting files with the ".m4v" file extension and they are able to be imported.
    Anyone know of any program available which will convert these ".mov" files to something that is more compatible with importing into imovie '09, or perhaps I am completely so asleep at the wheel I missing something staring me in the face?
    Any help either way would be appreciated.

    How about any free conversion programs that would allow me to convert files from .mov to a format that is more compatible with importing into imovie? If not I guess QTP will be the way to go.
    No, the clips were shot using a SONY HD Handycam. The compression occured during the exporting of the finished clip. Instead of using "export movie" under Share in imovie, I used the "Export using Quicktime" option in order to keep the file size down. It did not give me any indication that choosing that option would prevent me from re-importing the finished piece back into imovie for an edit. It seems odd to offer an export option that is not compatible with importing into the the very program being used to export the file.
    I simply want to be able to either re-import these ".mov" files back into imovie '09, or convert them to a file format that will allow me to at least open them in imovie '09. Any help to that end is greatly apprecited.
    Thanks

  • FireWire is the only way to import Canon HV20 Camcorder videos into iMovie?

    As a followup to my last post a moment ago tonight 1/30/08:
    Is it true that I need a FireWire cable to import Canon HV20 Camcorder videos into iMovie?
    If so, the Apple salesperson is wrong.
    He told me last Monday that purchasing the new iLife 2008 (that contains iMovie 2008) would allow me to use my current USB cable.
    Given I see NO FireWire port on my new MacBook Pro (bought in 8/2006), I don't see a solution.
    Note the camera, an HD camcorder (the Canon HV20) did NOT come with a FireWire cable; it only came with a USB male plug on one side of the cable and the other is a small square-like male plug that connects to a female port on the Canon HV20.
    Solution?
    Thanks for any suggestions, Daniel

    The USB cable is for importing still photographs. Not video.
    The firewire 400 cable you need is one that goes from the 6 pin full size male connector to the small 4 pin form used for DV.
    The cable plugs into the camera in a socket behind a plastic flap near the eyepiece. Its marked HDV/DV. The other end plugs into the MBP on the right-hand side. 4th from the back.

  • Easier way to import whole CDs to itunes?

    I want to put in my whole CD. But I have to click on "get CD track names" then manuall click on each track to go into itunes. is there a faster eaiser way to put in a whole CCD into itunes without manually typing in the track names?

    I do click on get cd track names. The names come up, but then I have to manually click on EVERY TRACK to import it into Itunes. Is there a way to get the track names and import the whole CD instead of sitting here and having to click on each track. I have the option to import the whole CD into itunes, but it just says "track 1, track 2, ect" so I have to type in the tracj names. Is there a better way? and an FYI I do a 5th gen Ipod, thats why I posted here.

  • Is there a way to import iMovie2 for iOS movies into iMovie 10 on a Mac?

    I used to be able to save the individual components (clips, voiceover tracks, etc) when I chose "Save to iTunes."
    Now that functionality seems limited to sending to another iOS device. Is there a way to get the "pieces" into

    Hi jkuyio
    1. Regarding the connection string and the provider, are you using 64 bit or 32 bit?
    2. By the way, Your question is not related to this forum i think. I mean you can use SSIS for this and work with SQL Server database as well but i think this is not the right way to do it!
    In any case you can check this link for more information on connecting the MySQL from SSIS:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mattm/archive/2008/03/03/connecting-to-mysql-from-ssis.aspx
    * Basically you can connect to any data source that you have the right data provider.
    ** Data from Excel spreadsheet can be exported to a new MySQL database table directly, by using the Export Excel Data to New Table optionhttp://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/mysql-for-excel-export.html
    ** Data can be import into the MySQL as well:

  • Why is it impossible to import pics into existing projects in Aperture 3.6 ? It forces me to create a new project on every import. Tried to change that in preferences but no luck.

    Why is it impossible to import pics into existing projects in Aperture 3.6 ? It forces me to create a new project on every import.
    Tried to change that in preferences but no luck.

    It is working for me.  Two ways to import into an existing project:
    Select a project and view it in the browser in split view. If you drag image files from a folder directly into the filmstrip, the dragged image files will be added to that project.
    Or select a project in the library, before you open the Import panel. Then you can switch the destination project in the Import Settings  from "new Project" to the selected project.
    Have you tried these methods? Where does it not work for you?

  • Importing Cyberlink Power Director project files to Adobe Premiere

    I am trying to switch from Powerdirector to Adobe Premiere because I felt like a needed a more powerful video editor. I already have a project that I started in PowerDirector and I don't really want to start it over from scratch or just export what I have into a rendered video file. Is there any way to import these sort of project files to Adobe Premiere, or some sort of converter?

    No, you have to start from scratch, or better, finish in Powerdirector and only start new projects in PR.

  • I have a Sony DCR -SR32 which does not appear in the list of compatible cameras for imovie '11. Does anyone know if there is way to import files from this camera ?

    I have a Sony DCR-SR32 HDD video camera which does not appear in the list of compatible cameras for imovie '11. Does anyone know if there is way of importing video from this camera to imovie ?
    Thanks
    Pheona

    Greetings Pheona,
    That appears to be a hard drive based camecorder.  Usually these mount on the desktop of your computer as a little white hard drive icon.  If you go inside you should be able to find the movie files the camera is saving.  See what format they are (the last 3 letters at the end of the file name is a good place to start).
    You can drag the movie files from the camera hard drive to the computer to copy them.  Then convert them with a video file conversion program to a format iMovie can understand.
    Try converting one of the files using a video file conversion program like Video Monkey: http://videomonkey.org/downloads/
    In the "Convert to" drop down menu choose "DV" (Preferred), "Quicktime", or "MP4".  Then import the resulting file into iMovie and see if that works any better.
    If that program can't convert the files you can try another file conversion program:
