Where are my video clips???

I accidentally deleted my iMovie project file, thinking I no longer needed it. Where are the clips stored that I was using with that project? Does deleting the project also delete all those clips, making me have to record them from my camera again, or are they (like most video editing programs) stored elsewhere on my hard drive? Thanks!

Hi Braden
Sorry to say: The videoclips is stored inside the project
icon not elsewhere.
Start a new project (My phantastic movie)and store it on
Your desktop. Close iMovie.
Now ctrl-click on the project icon and select show package
- in this there is a folder "Media" and in this clis belonging
to this project is stored.
alas. You have to re-import Your material into a new project.
Yours Bengt W

Where are my videos?

Hi
I have a Ipod nano, I just uploaded some videos but i cant seem to find them in my ipod. There no videos or anything like that on my list on my ipod. Where are my videos? And can i play videos on my Ipod? (i heard you can)

no i wasnt implying anything jsut curious as to why offer advice on a hack theat will void the warranty on the ipod. I mean you should realize as a role for answering questions here is to...yeha sure give possible software but also not mention things that are known to be faulty adn that clearly void the waranty. Then if something does occur well then the poster can always come back to you adn say but he mentioned it. Yes people are supposed to think for themselves and be smart on their own but society has repeatedly shown that many cant.
Which is why many are mad when they find out here that apple cant track their stolen ipods.......which is mind boggling to understand whty a company would ever do that. but thats a seperrate topic. :P

Where are the video tutorials I saw generated from the PhotoShop CS.5 Installation Disc?

Where are the video tutorials I saw generated from the PhotoShop CS.5 Installation Disc? How to work on a face, New to CS5, How to strip in a background? etc. Very helpful. Want to get started here.

Thank you Curt Y. You're right. They're there. The tutorials are so smart. Don't know why they didn't download. With video tutorials "Live time" experts fumble themselves giving a perfect means for the user to absorb the "logic" of how the PhotoShop function thinks. There's no other way. Only a robot can, wants to, is motivated by boring line by line written description. I rather eat gravel than try and follow "line by line." line-by-line = ZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Have a great holiday season, whereever you are, whatever you celebrate. Trexlorx.

Where are my videos stored

Hi - I've just started using iMovie with videos (I'd done a short one with stills before, but this is mp4 shot with my little point-&-shoot camera). I download them into iPhoto and up till now I've only had a few and just left them in iPhoto and played them there.
But one evening recently I took a lot of videos of a band playing a gig in a pub, and wanted to edit a bit and see what I could do with them.
It's all great fun but something happened just now - I haven't deleted those pub videos from my camera yet, and this morning I went to download some still photos I'd taken yesterday, and iPhoto is showing all my pub videos as not imported yet. So iPhoto isn't recognizing them as being there, but they're definitely there and they play normally.
My process for getting them into iMovie from iPhoto was, I dragged each one to my desktop, them imported them individually into iMovie. Then did some Projects.
They all show up in Finder under iMovie Events and Projects, and double-clicking on those opens up iMovie.
So - could anyone tell me where these videos reside now? In Finder? Am I doubled up on the space they're taking up? I can leave things as they are, everything's working fine, but I really should know what I'm doing
Thanks,
Lynne

Right, it looks like copies in both - however that doesn't explain the fact that iPhoto doesn't treat it as "already imported" and instead shows it under "new video" when I plug my camera in.
I used to use my own folder system years ago when I had a pc, but have been happy with iPhoto for the last 5 years I've had a mac. Its tools and editing are enough for me, and are simple to use. I've been scanning and organizing some very old photos I inherited, trying to preserve them - it's a big job and the photos vary greatly in quality, some badly deteriorated, damaged, faded black and whites, and shades of sepia. All very precious but there are a lot of them - I'm really happy with the results I'm getting with minimal time (and knowledge!) of editing.
It's iMovie that I find difficult - I tried to delete the video clips in the iPhoto section of Events and couldn't get that to work either, so enough is enough, lol. I'm going to "cheat" - and get my 15-yr-old granddaughter to do it.
Thanks for replying,
Lynne

Where are the videos taken by iphone stored in iphoto?

I've taken a number of videos and still photos with my iphoto but only the still photos appear in Iphoto. Where are the visdeos stored and how can I retrieve them?

How are you moving the photos from your Phone to iPhoto?
What version of iPhoto?
By default everything you import into iPhoto is stored in the iphoto library - What do you mean by "how do I retreive" them?
To use videos in iMovie launch imovie and import the videos to iMovie
To use them with other programs select them in iPhoto and export with kind = original (see the user tip on exporting for more information on the current options in exporting)
What exactly are you haveing problesm with and what exactly do you want to accomplish?

Syncing pictures and videos from pc to iPad. Where are the videos stored?

Can't find my videos on iPad. Where are they?

They should be either in the Videos or Photos app; if not you could try spotlight searching for them.

Where are imported DV clips stored?

Hello all!
I just imported a tape from my JVC GR-DV4000E and saved my project. Now I'm a bit interested, where are the clips stored? I seem not to be able to find them.
My thought was to burn to DVD one of the movie clips as RAW file format, so it can be imported for another individual.
Thankful for any kind of help!
Sincerely,
Andreas
MacBook Intel C2D Mac OS X (10.4.8)

They are in the iMovie project package (which looks like a file). In the Finder, Ctrl-click (or right-click) on the project and select "Show Package Contents" from the context menu. The DV clips are in the Media folder.

Where are itunes videos stored?

I had some videos in my library and removed them. I meant to click move files to recycle bin and clicked keep files. Now I have no way to delete them because I don't know where itunes stores its videos.
Anyone know where to look?

If the iTunes is set to manage library then they will be in Movies folder or TV Shows folder wherever your library is. If they are music videos then the files will be in the artist's folder.

Are long video clips harder on Xserve Raid

I am considering capturing entire 30 min. tapes instead of shorter clips. Does length of captured video clips make any difference on how hard an xserve raid needs to work?

No. None whatsoever. You can capture to an Xserve RAID as fast as it will write until it gets about 80-85% full, and then it will start to slow because of physics (track density on the inside of the spindles is less than on the outside).

Iphoto 4.0.3 Where are my videos at?

Does anyone know where my videos from my camera are stored once I download my photos into Iphoto?

iPhoto 4 doesn't download any videos -- it's only concerned with still photos. If you off-loaded any short movie clips from your camera, it could not have involved iPhoto -- and you would either have been asked to specify a download location, or you would have had to drag the file(s) manually to some location on your hard drive.
In either event, only you (or perhaps someone looking over your shoulder at the time) could know where that destination might be.

Where to locate video clips in FCP

Hello
I have a setup where I have a my main boot disk and 2 300gig raid setup. I run all my apps off the boot and data saved on the 2, pictures, movies, etc form FCP, I photo, etc.
So I had to change out the boot disk as it died. I am all restored but when I open FCP for a recent video I am doing, which was saved out to the data disk(s), it comes up not able to find the edited clips, ask to reconnect and when I do it cant find.
Can someone tell me where they are hidden.
thanks
les

Thanks everyone. I will give everything a try tonight.
I did try finder but did not locate. I was thinking that the saved file/movie was on the "raid" drives but the clips were linked on the main drive. But don't understand why this would be.
Either way, if it comes down to it, guess I will get extra practice in honing my editing skills.

Where are the video files?.

Forum,
I am very confused,not sure I have even entered the subject question correctly.
The MBP will not capture directly to external drive,a former post to the forum has advised me to purchase a firewire card.
Therefore I have captured to a partition on the internal drive.
No problems.
I then dragged the file from the internal partition to the external drive,a green cross appeared which I understand indicates the file has transfered to the external drive.
However when I examine space used on the external drive it is only 157Mb.
Clearly a 30 minute video uses 6 Gb.
I can see that information in the internal partition.
Now what I can not understand is when I choose the file in FCP to enter into the viewer it tells me it is offline.
Thinking it may be in the external drive,despite knowing that it can not be stored in 157 Mb.I start up the external drive.
Now the clips come to life and I can drag them into the viewer and proceed.
So, where is the 6Gb. file?
Why do I need to start up the external drive when the file is not there,or is it.
Some time ago Studio X advised me it is better to enter video files onto an external drive.
So I have taken his advice because he obviously knows what he is talking about.
Any way there is not space to store all my video files on the internal partition,the OS and applications take up 85 Gb. so that means 100Gb. allowing for 10% head room, only about 38 Gb. for video files.
The information I have entered about my kit is accurate.
If my post appears pedantic,forgive me,but so many posters are asked to clarify or give more information.
I hope I have supplied all information required.
Thank you
Michael Craven.

David,
Thank you for your reply.
Your information in paragraph 1 is noted with interest and added to my information book.
I have carried out the steps you suggested in paragraph 2.
157 Mb. is still shown.
When I open the file in Quick time, the following statement appears "The movie could not be opened,The file is not a movie file"
Well to press on I deleted all files from the internal drive partition named "video files" That partition is empty.
So,back to the iomega external drive.
Opened the file "Georgie and her kittens'.
FCP opens and shows the eight clips of that video.
Double click, select "show in the viewer" and they appear in the viewer.
Obviously the video files are on the external drive. I think.
I must have had doubts that a transfer of 6 Gb. from the internal drive to an external drive was so quick.
The iomega external drive shows "extended (journaled)"
In a later post reply Ken Summerall sugests "journaled' slows down information selection.
How do I remove " journaled"?
Should I pose that question in another post?
Thank you for your help.
Michael Craven.

Where are my videos in ICloud after being backed up in ICloud?

I have done a backup on my Iphone 4s with all my apps, music, pics and videos. Where in Icloud can I find my pics and videos? In Itunes the apps and music are there but I just can't find my pics and videos. Not sure if I have to connect Iphone to the computer with wire and then upload?
Thanks for any help.

You cannot find your pics and videos in iCloud. You have backed up your iPhone to iCloud, and in iCloud is a big backup file. You can find your backup and you can restore it to your iPhone, but you cannot find individual files withing the backup.
You can restore your iPhone from the backup.
"Here’s a quick list of what exactly is stored in an iPhone Backup:
Various settings from the Settings app data, including Mail and Calendar account settings (but not the actual Mail messages and Calendar events).
Paired Bluetooth devices.
Safari bookmarks and Safari AutoFill data.
SMS and MMS messages, Notes items, voice memos, and photos and video from the Camera Roll. The one exception is that videos greater than 2 GB are not backed up.
Preferences and data for third-party apps (such as game high scores), but not the apps themselves.
Passwords for Mail and Wi-Fi accounts (from the iPhone’s Keychain file). These passwords will restore only to the same iPhone. If you upgrade to a new device, for example, you must re-enter these passwords on the new device. You may also have to reset your Voicemail password.
A backup does not store photos synced via iTunes nor any iPod music or video."

Learning to use a Mac- where are the video tutorials?

I am an old PC user, converting to this sleek machine after loving my iphone. but I am really struggling to understand all the new conventions, keystrokes, and shortcuts. I can't even really understand safari- there is no "web address" window at the top, so I go to google for everything.
Are there not video tutorials somewhere on my machine? reading the articles is hard to do if I don't see the interface.

Doctormark,

C'mon Apple - Where are my missing clips?

Someone at APPLE/FCPX Developer (s) must know the answer to this question that I posted earlier, surely????
I imported some files into my existing event folder. These files were labelled as "untitled" as I used FCP7 and an HD deck, that I had to hire for a weekend ( cost me more than I expected it too) to import into my external hard drive. I did this because I was using FCPX, but die to severe dropping of frames, I went back to the old reliable FCP7.
Anyhow, I decided to learn FCPX (work requirements) and imported these files into the events folder. Now, the original files are no longer on my external hard drive, neither are they in the projects or events folders and I have tried every search possible.
I am running FCP7 and when I start FCP7, lo an behold, I get the offline clips missing red line thorugh it - so I know I didn't imagine this.....
In the middle of a project and a over due website - would hate to have to rehire the hd deck and re-import the footage all over again.
Anyone....????please.....

"You imported files from an HD Deck to an external hard disc using FCP7"
Yes. I however imported it twice, once with FCPX and then had to switch to FCP7 as FCPX was dropping a lot of frames. I am running a MacBook Pro 8gb Ram, 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 3 external hard drives.
"You then imported those files from the external disc to an FCPX event (stored where?)"
In the same hard drive i.e external hard drive, in the capture scratch folder, that FCP7 created.
"....Did they ever come in to the events folder or did you get an error message? What happened?"
Yes, I imported them into the events folder, using the import function. I was given a folder saying original media. Had no error messages. Went away for a couple of hours, leaving the Mac on ( but closed) and came back and can't find the original folder, the files on the external hard drive, with the capture scratch folder have gone. The files in the event folder are nowhere to be seen. I've exhausted my searches with spotlight, finder and combing through every file on the hard drive. Was up till 4 am this morning trying to figure it out.
And sadly NO, I did not back it up with Time Machine.
I am just wondering whether the answer may lie in the file names. When I logged and captured the files, as there were a lot of tapes, I let them default to the 'untitled' names. FCPX tends to group the files as keywords and gave each of my other files (imported with FCPX) wit their own default names. ( I did not change the defualt settings when importing)
But in any case, I cannot understand why FCPX would take all the 'untitled' files from the external folder and destroy them?
Also when I use the Advanced list in FCPX, there are a lot of 'null' files with no data on them.
Hope this explains this in a little further detail. Thanks for the reply though.....
