Where does iMovie move the .dv files I've imported?

When I rip footage off my Sony camcorder, I get all the .dv clips in one project. Where are those .dv clips located? I can't find them in spotlight (by searching ".dv" or "dv" or "clip 01").
I want to know because I want to be able to use clips from different projects. Also, I'm worried that if I delete a clip from a project, I will never find that clip again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

castlljs,
What appears to be a single iMovie HD project file is actually a package.
You can view its contents by selecting it in the finder and control-clicking (or right clicking it) and choosing Show Package Contents.
iMovie 5 also allows you to cut and paste clips among projects as well as drag clips to the desktop right from iMovie. The clip will be copied to the desktop.
These features make it easy to use the same clips in multiple projects.

  • Where does iWeb save the site file?

    Sorry guys but this is a lazy man's question.
    Where does iWeb save the site file when you click the save button?
    Is it saved as a seperate file or is it hidden within the program?
    I not talking about publishing it.

    Yes there is...I'll refer you to Apple's own technote...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303670
    But you probably don't want to keep it on your iDisk. The file could be huge and the back and forth network bandwidth involved may make iWeb opens and saves unbearably slow. I've always recommended one of those cheap USB flash drives to keep a potable Domain file on.
    Has this been "helpful" to you?

  • Where does iMovie save the movie file?

    I have imported my video and I want to get to the folder without opening iMovie. Which folder does iMovie put the raw footage into?
    Thanks,
    Brian

    Brian,
    You also need to know that when you see your iMovie project inside the HD Movie folder, you can't simply double-click the project icon and see all of your assets. You need to hold the Apple button while single-clicking on the icon, then choose "Show Assets" to see your media, the QT reference movie, etc.

  • Where does iMovie store the individual clips?

    I know where iMovie stores the project file (which has all the clips inside it), but where does it put each individual clip itself? I want to edit them using another program, but the only way I can do it for now is by opening the project file and exporting each individual clip.

    Hi Steve
    My bet is that it will crach Your project.
    I would if satisfied with my editing. Copy back to Camera to TWO new miniDV
    tapes. Carefully secure that there is a great overlap - say several minutes.
    (Why - errors on miniDV tapes are more common in beginning and end of tape)
    Then when ready - delet the movie project and - re-import tapes into a
    new project.
    ALL editings will be un-undo-able. So this is a nerve shattering experience.
    Alt. Get a big external hard disk !!! Mac Extended - formatted !!!
    Mac Exchange / DOS / UNIX formatted WILL NOT do.
    And copy the movie project to this for further editings or just to store it.
    (I don't use "Empty - trash" in iMovie even if several in this forum says that's
    not so destructive as in previous versions of iMovie)
    Yours Bengt W

  • Where does Keynote store the audio files in a presentation

    I have slides with individual audio files. When I import or attach the file and then save the presentation, it changes the file name to .mov extension. Where does Keynote store those files? I would like to edit the saved Keynote version, but cannot locate the .mov file!

    I'm not exactly sure of what you want to do, and I'm not sure if my answer is the most efficient, or even wholly correct, but here goes ...
    When you save a KN presentation (a KN doc) which includes an audio (or movie) file, you can save it 2 (3?) ways: either without or with the file being copied into the document, or as a "package". In a test file I just made with 3 white slides (title, slide with song, second slide with song) the results:
    without: 3.8 MB; with: 9.4 MB; package: 9.4 MB. The essential difference, aside from size, is that if saved without, if you play the KN on another machine which doesn't have those audio files on it, the audio won't be there. To make the KN truly portable, you must save with, or as a package. (I'm not too sure of the concept of package in KN. In PP, saving as a package means you end up with a folder, which contains the PP and the media files, each as separate entities. Saving a KN package yields not a folder but a file, which looks to me identical to the result achieved by simply saving with, and seems to behave identically, as well.) The audio file you used will in any case remain where it was before you used it, but, if the KN doc is saved with, or as a package, a copy of it will go into the KN doc.
    But then, what do you mean by "edit"? What do you want to edit, the KN presentation, or the audio file within it? If the former, I don't understand where the problem might be. If the latter: using the QT inspector within KN, you can change the length of the audio file (where in the song it starts and stops), whether to start it on click, or automatically after transition, or to loop it. If you wanted to do some other, more exotic audio editing, like reverbs or other effects, I'd do that on (a copy of) the original audio file (found wherever it was before) with another app (GarageBand, for instance), and then I'd replace the first, non-edited, version of the audio file in the KN doc with that.
    Have I missed something?
    Message edited by gbdoc: maybe someone will chime in to clarify the difference between "saved with" and a "package"

  • Wheres does imovie keep my exported files?

    I recently finished edited my footage on imovie within ipad and as I upload it to youtube, its does fine on the first two but then on the third it says not enough space.  So once I connected my ipad to my computer it seems the ipads been making files of the project when i upload them to youtube and thus filling up my ipad to the point where I can't upload anymore.  Suggestions on how to delete the youtube project files?

    It deletes them by default. If you want to preserve them, set the "keepgenerated" and "working-dir" (this one so you don't have to hunt for them) elements in the "jsp-descriptor" element in the weblogic.xml file.

  • Where does Logger create the log file?

    I am trying to use the Logger API within my classes.
    I have the following code:
    logger = Logger.getLogger("garxface123");
    logger.setLevel(Level.FINEST);
    logger.entering(this.getClass().getName(), new Throwable().getStackTrace() [0].getMethodName());
    logger.fine("Test 123");
    I can't seem to find where the file is being created. I searched the drive (WinDoz XP OS) that the code is running on plus the C: drive for garxface123*.* but can't seem to find the file antwhere.
    Am I doing something wrong? If so what? Do I need to close the logger somehow?

    Thanks I see what I am doing wrong. I'm not adding a device handler. Makes sense now.

  • Why does iMovie remove the last half of my imported clips?

    I've noticed that when I'm importing clips from an SD card the window tells me "___ minutes and ___ seconds have been imported from ___ clips." but when I go to view said footage, only the first half of the each clip is there. Literally to the second, iMovie stops at exactly the halfway point of the clip and just completely removes the last half. What's going on? Please help.
