What's that symbol in the Project Library viewer
In the Project Library where I can scroll through all my projects there is a little symbol that looks a bit like the WIFI icon cocked on its side just to the left of the filmstrip preview. It is not next to all my projects and sometimes there is an exclamation mark on top of it. What is that symbol?
The symbol indicates the project has been shared. If it has an exclamation point it means the project has been altered since it was shared.

I have had my MBP for just over 3 months now! Yes, I made the switch and up until now I have been quite happy.
I now have my Time Capsule, Apple TV running and am generally getting used to life as a Mac user.............even bought Aperture and loaded all the family photos. Now time to make some Travel movies.
I have been working on a particular IMovie project for a few weeks now. Size is 365MB. Yesterday I closed IMovie and when accessing later that project is not available in the Project Library window. It does appear in the IMovie Projects folder but I cannot open it. I have copied the file to DVD just in case. All up I have 4 Projects, the other 3 are practice files, smaller but they do appear in the Project Library.
I have scoured the bulletin boards and tried many suggested fixes to no avail. Main suggestion was to remove the following files from Library/Preferences
com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
com.apple.iApps.plist
However, this did not sort out my problem. In the end I put back the original files.
Does anyone have a straightforward fix for my problem or is this one of those ongoing issues that that needs Apple's attention.
After all the file is there with the others. They are available.
I realise that I can restore from Time Capsule but I am missing the last three days thanks to 'drop out'.

Yes, considering we have an ongoing 'glich' within an Apple program with no obvious solution, we should be able to direct it straight to an Apple rep. I will peruse this possibility when I get a moment.
You can report the problem by providing feedback to Apple. In the iMovie app, from the menu select iMovie > Provide iMovie Feedback. This will take you to an Apple page where you can complete a form and submit it to Apple.
The fix for this will probably turn out to be simple/easy.....................so why doesn't Apple comment and/or address it????
Other than the forum moderators, Apple doesn't normally monitor these forums, nor make comments on posts. So, it's up to us to report the problem to them directly (using the feedback form mentioned above).
As the problem has affected me just the one time (touch wood), I haven't bothered to report it as yet. But, after seeing your posts on this, I'm now reconsidering that. Something must be triggering it. My system is in pretty good shape, so I'm guessing it must be a glitch of some sort, either in Mountain Lion or in the iMovie app itself. Perhaps it's a 3rd party app causing the problem? It doesn't give us much confidence now, in that we may start worrying about losing other projects.
A good practice is to duplicate the project from time to time (something I'll be doing more of), although Time Machine backups also provide the necessary security. To duplicate, in Project Library view (where all the projects are listed) click on the project name so that it is highlighted, then select File > Duplicate Project. Alternatively, right-click (or Control-click) on the project name and select Duplicate Project from the pop-up menu. Of course, you may already know this. Duplicating probably won't guarantee that the copy will not also disappear from the Project Library, but is worth doing anyway.
As I mentioned in the post I linked to earlier, when the problem arose with my iMovie project I was using ProRes 422 clips I had imported from a Final Cut Pro X Event. My immediate thought was that ProRes 422 had caused the problem. But this of course may have been coincidental - reinforced now by your experience, where you are probably working with Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) clips.
Anyway, glad to hear that you've recovered your project through Time Machine. Unfortunately, I had to start from scratch as I had Time Machine turned off during my editing sessions (that's a story for another day).

a project on iMovie 09 that Freezes(only the project) the viwer window blocked in gray ... .. After editing that took me a year I'm stuck .
All my finished projects that are in the Library infected with the same symptoms and it happens only after I went into the problematic project.
I tried to open a new project and everything works
...I also tried throwing Recent Files, in the past It solved the problem ,not this time ...
the problem is that this project will take me a long, long time to rebuild
imovie 09
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac10,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHzThis recently happened to me. I am a novice, but it seemed like that project got corrupted some how.
I deleted it.
Went to time machine and picked it up again when I knew it was working ok.
I lost a few hours of work, but not the entire project.
Once I had the project back from time machine, it worked fine (but like I said, I lost a little bit of work). -
Hello,
When I click on "Show the Project Library" on Final Cut Pro X program, my computer unexpectedly quits.
I just purchased an iMac 27in screen, (16G Ram) and all the features suggested by the Apple representative to run Final Cut Pro X.
The program was working well for about a week. Afterward, I downloaded all my iMovie projects. I'm wondering if that has created this problem.
Any suggestions as to what the solution might be? Thanks.
JackOver the year I've used FCPX, it' s gone through "spells" where specific actions would crash it - much as you describe. Trashing preferences has nearly always fixed things. Several times, when it did not, I reinstalled the app.
However, I've never imported an iMovie project so I can't give any first hand advice. It will be interesting to see whether FCPX opens if it doesn't see those projects. (per Tom Wolsky's advice.)

Can I sort the Project Library?
Two quick questions I had trouble finding the answers to. Are there controls for sorting the Project Library? With the Events Library, I have a ton of control on how I want my events to be sorted... but I couldn't find any such controls with the Project LIbrary. My guess is that sorting by date isn't necessarily helpful, because it shows when a project was last opened.. not created. It would be helpful if there was a way to sort by Project Creation date... or perhaps last export date. As is, it's just sorted alphabetically.
Side question: What's the quickest way to find out what the default event for a project is? From the Project LIbrary itself, I see I can highlight the project and look under the inspector for "referenced Events", but it doesn't seem to tell me what the default event is if multiple are listed. Once in the project, I'm not sure how to find this information.
Thanks!Thanks Tom, I ended up finding one of my answers. With the project selected in the Project Library, I can see in the Inspector under properties the "referenced events" down below, but I was not noticing at the very top in lighter grey where it showed "Default Event: Name of Event" ... That solves that. Once inside the project itself, I couldn't find a way for seeing this information, but at least I can see it from the Projects Library screen.
Basically I'm taking over as editor for a company and trying to make sense of the previous editor's organizational structure. Let's just say... it's not very organized. He did a terrible job of naming events and projects and I was having trouble figuring out what goes with what. I've actually had to build a spreadsheet just to make sense of his mess. Hah -
Why did my project disappear from the project library?
I recently finished a project, exported it to the "project file" in the Movie folder, and from there burned it to a disk. No problem. Since then, I have been thinking about making a couple of changes to the project, but when I opened the Project Library in iMovie, lo and behold, it was nowhere to be found. All of my other projects were there, but this one was gone.
I looked in the project file in the Movie folder, and there it was, along with the movie, but I can't edit it any further in its present location. If it were in the project library (where it belongs), I could certainly edit it, but I can't figure out how to get it back there, so to speak.
Two questions: first, why did it disappear from the Project Library, and second, what can I do about it now? I could always start from scratch (using clips in the Event Library), but that means doing everything over again, which I prefer not to do. Any ideas?I've got the similar problem:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3628821
any one able to solve it???
I've also restarted a million times but it still doesn't seem to work...

Idvd won't recognize my imovie from the project library, I've mislabeled it
I created a video in the project library of imovie. Tried to create a dvd, but it didn't show up in the Movie Browser (the way it is supposed to acc'd to page 258 in Jim's '09 book.) I tired exporting it (p248), and somehow did something that ended up with the project labeled as a document!!! Then I tried exporting it as a quick time movie, and was able to create a dvd from that. But when I played it on the TV, the sound track was misaligned with the video and some of the video was unstable. I am totally confused as to what to try next.
The movie as it plays in the project library is great. I'd be happy to have it on a dvd that I could show on TV without chapters or anything fancy. I don't know how to make that happen.
Thanks for any help you could give.in the iMovie menu bar, -> Share; -> iDVD
to add thumbnail images, you may also have to -> Share; -> Media Browser.
Hope it helps. -
Not able to insert audio into IMovie due to an error message
I only have one video project that I ever published to iDisk. It didn't have any music or photo files attatched to it, just a few clips stitched together. I can play these clips right now in the Event Library (so I know the source files are on my computer), but strangely, under the Project Library, the project is not there. I'm almost certain that I didn't store the project on iDisk; I just completed the video and published it to iDisk (as a .mov file I think) for family to see. I've tried to figure out how to get iDisk to stop looking for this project to no avail.
I don't know if others have experienced this, but if I click on any project and on the menu bar select Share --> Remove From --> Media Browser... it lists iPod, iPhone, iPad, tv, Computer and MobileMe. Why would MobileMe be an option here? This is the case for any video project I select. Didn't iLife '11 and/or OSX 10.8 remove all mention of MobileMe? I wonder if this is part of the problem too.
Edit: I just removed every project I have from the Media Browser. Still no luck. -
how to hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.
Within Aperture you have Images, which are constructed on-the-fly from two files (the Master and the Version). You get an image-format file _only_ when you export an Image. You select the file name (usually a scheme) when you create an image-format file (that is, when you export). Look under "Aperture→Presets→File Naming" for built-in Presets. You can, of course, create your own or customize any provided.
The Preset is applied to only the file newly created by your "export" command. It is not applied to the Image in Aperture (unless you rename your Versions or your Masters). -
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. -
I thought this was a file the project library owns. So what's up?

How to rename a new folder in the project library in FCPX
How do I rename a new folder in the project library in FCPX?
ThanksHi
Why not ask in FinalCut Pro X forum.
My guess is as in iMovie'11 - point at it and ctrl-click on it - may be there is a re-name function in this menu.
Why they didn't name it iMovie Pro X is beyond me.

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. -
How to deselect iPhoto as the default library viewer?
Hello everybody. I just got a Mac and I am thoroughly thrilled by iPhoto but I am already regretting setting the app as the default library viewer. I know I can find photos in the Finder by making iPhoto point me to the original file, but I just want to be able to see all my photos through finder. Under the folder names I choose. This issue is alarming also because I want to import 2000 photos from my old PC and I want them to be kept in the folders I have aready arranged. Again, I know I can view the originals (even though it's kinda weird the way they are organized in Finder now that iPhoto is the default library) and I know I can use any image I want with other applications just by dragging them. But I just wanna see the file system. Any help will be deeply appreciated. Thanks for reading in advance
When you import a folder of photos into iPhoto an Event will be created containing those photos with the same name as the folder had. So you can keep all of your photos in the same folder grouping as you had previously. You just can't have events inside other events as you do with folders.
However, you can add folders to the left hand pane of iPhoto and drag events into them to simuiplat the folder hierarchy you had on the PC.
Since you're looking for a folde/filer management system instead of a database digital asset management system iPhoto is not the application for you. There is a DAM application that will do exactly what you want. It called Media Pro 1. It's a professional DAM application. It's what I use to manage my photos and then use iPhoto for special projects like books, calendars, slideshows, etc.
