Where clips stored iMovie- now that update corrupted FCP

Okay, the latest update has totally messed with Final Cut Pro (which was working fine for me.) Every time I try to "capture" I get a dropped frame error after 12 seconds. I read the threads on this topic and cannot resolve. So I need to capture video and edit.
I'm importing video in iMovie, which I don't use and don't like. For the life of me I cannot find the clips that import in iMovie. I don't want to export an entire Imovie into Quicktime and wait for it to render.
I just want to import some video in iMovie and find the clips and drag them into FCP so I can do some serious editing, but where do they go? How can I simply import in iMovie and get the video into FCP? Where are raw clips stored on my computer?
And shame on you Apple for your update that messed up our computers.

You'd get a better answer from the iMovie forum. You'd be hard pressed to find someone here who uses iMovie:

And just so you know, iMovie does not capture timecode. So if you lose the media, or want to revisit the project after you deleted the media, you'll have no timecode to rebuilt the cut.
But seriously, if you use FCP to earn a living, then you need to do everything to get it working. If that means going back to 10.3.9 (the only supported OS that works with FCP 4.5) or an earlier version of 10.4, then that is what you should do.

  • How can I share my iMovies now that there is no MobileMe?

    I used to share my iMovies on my MobileMe Gallery, but now that is closed where can I share my movies?
    I don't use Facebook and even though I have an account with YouTube I can't seem to get it to work. Does anyone know of an easy option to share my movies as the file size is way too big to send as an email.
    Thanks for any help.

    Buy a "silent" ringtone from the iTunes Store. Or, if you don't want to spend $1.29, you can make your own by recording a 30 seconds of silence then converting it to a ringtone. I believe should be able to do that with Garageband on your iPhone. Or, do it on your computer.

    Personally, I'd spend the $1.29 and be done with it.

  • I can take video made in Photo Booth and use in my Smilebox greetings and I can use photos from iPhoto to use there also.  I have not been able to figure out how to take clips from iMovie for that.

  • Trying to change the name to the itunes account and made one myself because my sister use to use my computer and updating my apps where under her email now that i made my own i cant update anything on my phone its still showing my sisters email.

    basically my sister used my computer and everytime we had to update our apps it would be her email thats showing and thats when i knew that pw. since shes doesnt use it anymore i made my own and now it wont let me update it its still showing hers.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. 
    If your sister doesn't know the password for her old ID, and if her old ID is an earlier version of her current ID, she needs to temporarily recreate the old ID so you can delete if from your phone using her current password.  To do this, have her go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with her current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to her old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to her old email address.  You can now use the password for her current ID to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for her old account ID.  After you do this, Next, have your sister recreate her current ID again by going back to https://appleid.apple.com and changing her primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.
    Then your can save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to the camera roll on your device, then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted.  You will be prompted to either keep or delete the iCloud data from your device.  If the data is already in another account you can choose Delete.  If you need to migrate it to another account, choose Keep, then choose Merge when signing into the new account.

  • Where are old iMovie files that were in "Movie" favorites before I got new iMovie and Mavericks?

    Just installed Mavericks and bought the new iMovie.  Looked for labled finished movies folders that I had kept in Movies on my HD favorites on OS 10.6.7, but that Fave doesnt exist in Mavs.  Where can I find the labeled folders with all their working files? Some unlabeled files do exist individually in All My Favorites but seem of little help without labels.

    I meant "All My Files"

  • Kicked out of all apps now that updated to 6.0.1 on ipad3

    I just updated this morning to 6.0.1 on my ipad 3.  Now if I go into Safari, FB, etc it kind of times out/becomes non-responsive and kicks me out of the app after a few minutes.  I tried turning off Siri, restarting a couple of times.  I'm not sure what else to do?  Suggestions?

    The this and see if it helps.
    Quit ALL apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Keep swiping in the recents tray until you close them all. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Reboot the iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    You can try this for the Safari crashes as well.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Aperture. I have so many pictures and not sure where to put them now that my MacBook Pro is filled?

    I have so many pictures on my Mac book pro on aperture that I can not put anymore on.  If I put them on a hard drive h
    Then how do I access them like a library?

    Aperture allows you to store your Images' Originals on any directly connected drive (must be formatted "Mac OS Extended, Journaled"), and gives you the option and the ability to move your Originals any time you want.
    So get an external drive, format it correctly, select the Images whose Originals you want to move to that external drive, and move them using the command "File➞Relocate Originals".
    An Image's Original must be on-line in order for you to be able to make adjustments, export, or print that Image.  When the Original is off-line, you are still able to change the metadata, and view and share the Image's Preview.
    If you are uncertain about the parts of Aperture, my User Tip is as good a place to start as I know .
    Here is the topic as covered in the well-done Users Manual.  Note that the User Manual uses the terms "Master" and "Original" synonymously, and that it confuses users by refering to referenced and managed _Images_.  Image's are not, themselves, referenced or managed.  The Original of each Image is a file (the one you imported); that file is the item that is either referenced or managed.
    What Are Managed Images and Referenced Images?

  • Where is "users-admin" now that gnome-system-tools is deprecated ?

    Hello everyone,
    I have already used the "users-admin" package from gnome to manage the permissions of the users, but, since gnome 3.2 the gnome-system-tools package which contained the users-admin package has been deprecated and replaced by gnome-control-center. So my question is, how can I reinstall the users-admin application, or, use another gnome application to do the same thing ?
    I don't really think that it is a good idea for Gnome to place an application as deprecated and not propose an alternative.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Luis Da Costa

    It is not the same but still a good option XD I really don't understand why the gnome team dropped a good tool like users-admin :S...

  • Help!! working on a movie on Imovie. I had to delete a music file from a clip section and now there are some clips that have no audio!!! don't know how to get the audio back to my clips!!!! Help!!!

    Help!! working on a movie on Imovie. I had to delete a music file from a clip section and now there are some clips that have no audio!!! don't know how to get the audio back to my clips!!!! Help!!!

    You can use some third party software to copy the music from your old iPod back to computer first, and then import the music into iTunes and re-sync them to yournew iPod. Here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • HT4867 Now that I've switched to  ICloud where are the mailboxes that were stored on my Mac?

    Now that I've switched to ICloud where are the mailboxes that were stored on my Mac?

    On your mac, mailboxes are listed under one of several categories.  Some are "on my mac" and others are in "icloud".  Those emails in mailboxes "on my mac" are strictly local, they do not connect with iCloud.  As Julian points out, all mailboxes on your mac are still there.  They will not be on your other devices.

  • So where are the real photos that are used between iPhoto and iMovie?

    OK....this is getting ridiculous...
    So where the heck does iMovie and iPhoto really store and pull the images from cause this makes no sense...
    I will try and make this is a shorten version of a long story...Here is what I am dealing with...
    G5 with iLife 06 and all updates...
    Powerbook Pro with iLife 06 and all updates...
    Spent five days editing project on my Macbook Pro --> emptied trash and bye bye project...Started over on my G5 since none of my clips are editable now (Thanks Apple! I needed that)
    I had previously spent a week editing over 200 photos in Photoshop on my Macbook...This included color correction and dust and scratches as well as some retouching...So I transferred all Photos onto my G5 from my Macbook Pro and imported into Library...New discovery...Photos look like crap now...Like they were never cleaned up at all...Interesting...
    So I start redoing some of these retouches and save them...Of course the changes are not reflected in iPhoto or iMovie since it doesn't really use the originals again after the initial import...Or does it?
    So now here is another baffling thing to me...I do red eye correction to some photos and it is an immeditate change that can be seen in iMovie when importing...But if I rotate the pictures, no...sorry that only seems to take effect after I rotate the original in Photoshop and then reimport into my iPhoto library and delete the duplicates that have now gotten created in the process...
    Can someone help me understand what is going on...This added work is giving me a headache...Where and how does iPhoto store and use the images? Why if i rotate a photo it doesn't take effect in iPhoto/iMovie unless I completely reimport, but I can remove red eye instantly...And what has happened to all the changes I made to the existing photos to remove the dust and scratches originally?

    All images must be in a project. You can place then in as many albums as you wish- even albums outside the project where they reside- but they will remain in the project.
    Move the images to the album. Then drag them over the project where the album resides and they will be moved to that projects. If you drag them to an album and not the project, they will remain in the original project.
    Kinda hard to wrap your head around at first, but you'll see that it makes perfect sense as you progress with the application.

  • Trouble deleting only rejected clips after imovie update

    When i send rejected clips to the trash, it pulls more of the original video with it.  How can i keep this from happening? Only started with the new Mavericks update.

    I've seen one suggestion relating to Revealing the Clip in the Finder. Try this:
    Go to the Reject Clips by clicking on the pulldown menu at the bottom where it says Show: (choose Rejected Clips Only). Then <CTRL> click on on of the red striped thumbnails choose Reveal in Finder. When the Finder window launches, your clip will be highlighted. Select it and drag it to the trash.
    Quit iMovie, then relaunch it and go back to the Show: (Rejected Clips Only) see if that clip is now missing from the list of Rejected Clips. If this works and your Project file still plays back successfully I would say it's safe to continue deleting as needed. But if you have some problems and the Project has been affected there might be another reason you cannot delete the clips.
    iPhoto Videos are not deletable in the traditional iMovie Rejected Clips kind of way. They are under full control and jurisdiciton of iPhoto. And as a result, iMovie is not allowed to do anything other than 'copy' or re-use them in a Project. Deletion of iPhoto Videos in iMovie will not work. So your only real option is to try deleting them from iPhoto instead. So just be aware of where your video clips are located in the iMovie Event Library and everything should be OK.

  • Where are my clips stored?

    I import video using iMovie, then drag the clips into FCP, and delete the iMovie project. What folder or location are my clips sotred in after I drag them into FCP. Where can I locate them to delete clips I do not need. Is there any other more direct way of importing video to be used in FCP, or is using iMove the easiest solution?

    I'm not sure how you acquired the clips originally ... you say you imported them into iMovie, but do you mean that you captured them from tape? If so, they should still be in the same folder that they were captured and saved to in iMovie.
    If you imported them, you'll have to remember where you stored them when you first saved them to your hard drive(s). You can do a search/find for one of the file names to help if you can't remember.

    In FCP, the normal way for importing files is to go to File->Import then select whether you want to import individual files or a whole folder of files. To capture footage from tape, use the Log & Capture function as outlined in the FCP manual.

  • 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,

    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.
