Where did my iMovie projects go in mavericks

iMac quad Running Mavericks.
I just bought this iMac and migrated everything (I thought) from my 2006 iMac running 10.6.8.
First thing I discovered is that there is no media browser in mavericks. That means all my iMovie projects are gone unless they are hidden somewhere. I looked in iTunes but do not see them there.
Am I going to have to lug this thing back to the Apple store and return it. (Why would any company sell a NEW computer that the headphone

Where did my imovie project go?

Apologies, this is probably so fundamental - but I tried searching for the above string and nothing came up.
I was working on an iMovie Project. I was saving it regularly ('Save Project'). But where to?
I thought it was in a folder. It's not there. In fact, searching my system for a file with .imovieproject an an extension, or the name of the project, came up with nothing.
Am I supposed to 'Save As' somewhere else?
I did find a copy in the Finder trashcan but it's an old version.
I tried closing iMovie, and opening it, and it loaded the project.
However, opening iMovie subsequently just asks me for a new or existing project.
What did I do? I went ahead and exported it to iDVD but it would be nice to have the original...
Thanking you for your esteemed patience...

Thank you all for being so welcoming! (Egad, my social life in Eugene, OR has been so tragic for 4 years I'm tempted to just hang out in front of this forums from now on. If my job didn't entail e-convoing with tons people on all day that might be half appealing ... ).
I found the movie in the trashcan. I have no idea how it got there. I do know Apple has this annoying habit of bringing up some folder you used in the distant past to save in which has nothing to do with where you want to put it now - you have to watch it ...
I have a couple more... but I guess I should go and ask them under iDVD. See you soon... in case you want to see what I do to try and get a life, my link below has lots of little movies...

How do I burn iMovie project to DVD , Maverick.

Please someone tell me how to burn a iMovie project on IDVD? i am on Maverick.
Thanks,

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

Where to put iMovie projects.

When opening a new project, I can open it in a limited amount of places ( MacIntosh Hard disk, home directory , applications, desktop, movies, music, name of external hard drive). I just bought a new external hard drive and want to create the iMovie project in a subdirectory of the external hard drive. I'm not seeing any options for doing this. Any suggestions. Thanks.

Hi CurlyGirl - ... It is working fine, I create directories and files on it...
You would still be advised to do as Mish says and check the format. A Windows-formatted drive will work with normal files but I think there is a file-size limit and iMovie project sizes go far beyond that. In any event, iMovie projects do not function correctly if the drive is formatted wrongly for Macs.

Where did my imovie files go

when I opened imovie a window came out to upgrade to imovie08 so i did and after I upgraded and opened the new version I now can not open my imovie files from the previous imovie version....Did I lose my files? I see them in my movies folder but they only open with quickplayer/time....Please help

Thank you very much! Now I have another question...I just bought a Sony camcorder HD SR11...via email through BestBuy and I was told that I would not be able to import my movies to my IMac because Sony's software does not support Mac so they told me to buy Adobe Premier Elements 4.....so I did..I have not tried it yet because I have not received the camera yet but I do not want to open it and pay a restocking fee if it is not going to work.....Is it going to work or should I just exchange the camcorder for another one that is compatible with Mac...and if so any brands I should keep in mind??????

Where did my iDVD project go????

I finished a 25-minute project in iMovie 9, then shared it to iDVD. After 39 minutes and 5 GB later, I cannot find the .dvd file anywhere! (In iMovie HD, sharing a movie project to iDVD would automatically launch iDVD - it was a no-brainer.) I'm completely baffled!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The method that elikness suggests will also result in a higher image quality iDVD product. Sharing from iMovie throws away every other link of the video which reduces image qualtiy. So use the Share to MedIa Browser.

How do I find an iMovie project that is no longer showing up in iMovie?

Our students have 32gb iPad Airs and are currently using iOS 7.1.1. We've had several students come in to the IT office over the last couple days saying that a project they had been working on in iMovie has disappeared. The alert notification that popped up says that the video they were using can no longer be found or the file name has been changed. When we try to search for it, the iPad can't find the file. We check in the camera roll and there are NO more photos OR videos in her camera roll even though the student insists she had a good amount of photos and videos in there. In addition, "Upload to iCloud" was turned on for iMovie as well as Photo Stream in her iCloud settings. So where did her iMovie project and other pictures and videos go?
I tried accessing them via a Mac by opening the iCloud dashboard but no projects or photos and videos are showing up in there either. How can we avoid students loosing their school work in these apps?

As with the Mail app on a Mac, the iPhone's Mail app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients. The email address autofill feature when addressing an email pulls from Contacts and from the list of previous recipients.
Different from the Mail app on a Mac, there is no access to the list of previous recipients to add a previous recipient to Contacts that is not already entered in Contacts or to remove a previous recipient from the list - not at the present time anyway.

Hi all, my first time on. I shared my imovie project to Media Browser. Fine. Then after it downloaded it 'disappeared.' Where did it go? Having found it, how do I then share it with idvd? I am told the image quality will be much better this route.

Hi
I do
• In iMovie - select a project
• Share to Media Browser and as Large (not HD or other res.)
• Close iMovie
• Open iDVD and select to start a New iDVD Project
• Import movie - from Media button - down to the right - and here from Movies

All of my iMovie projects disappeared after loading Mavericks. The updated version of iMovie shows no files and cannot find any files to Import. My machine, a beefed up Mac Mini, has slowed to a crawl. Suggestions?

My Mac Mini takes forever to load programs now. After loading Mavericks it seems like I am back in PC World again!! My biggest concern is ALL of my iMovie projects seem to have vanished. I do not have sound on some web sites like YouTube. I lost the option to mirror from the Mac to the TV but I was able to solve that. Any suggestions on recovery of files? I do not use TimeMachine and did not back up anything before the Mavericks installation. I know...that's bad. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Just installed ilife 11 and it deleted my movie project, where did it go

Just installed ilife 11 and it deleted my movie project from the old version, where did it go

Installing iMovie will not cause a project to be deleted, so it is probably there somewhere.
What version of iMovie did you have before? Is everything on your internal drive, or do you have external drives?

Where can I find "Ripping Software" to use to enable me to download a clip from the dvd of our wedding onto an existing imovie project?

Just do a search for Handbrake. That will do it for you.

My project was not saved and is now gone...where did it go?

Check to see if Premiere autosaved your project. Open Premiere and start a new project.
File Menu > Project Settings > Scratch Disks
The last entry is 'Project Auto Saves'. See where this is pointing on your computer. If you are very lucky, Premiere may have autosaved your project from before and you'd be able to find it and open it that way.
Otherwise, you won't be able to recover a project that wasn't saved.
