How can I tell imovie to send Import Clips?

Hello everyone,

I appreciate all the help this forum helped me to this day.  Thanks again to all who responded!

My workflow is 1.   Take my SD card in my panasonic camcorder and put it in the drive 2.  To import the files, use iMovie.  However, is it possible to import them to another hard drive?  I can't set the location.  Also, I have no idea where they take the clips.  Is it possible to find individual clips that I can access outside of iMovie in which if I click it, it will play the clip?  I heard that iMovie it encapsulates all in one giant file.

Also to create a movie, first IMPORT the clips to a large bank I am talking about above, so I ENTER these clips on a PROJECT?  I am curious about others ' work flow.

Thanks for your help here!

Joe

When you import clips, they will be placed in the selected event, but you can change this with the ' import to:' field:

The clips will be stored here where the library containing this event is registered.  If it's on an external hard drive, then the clips go.  If you go to the library (extension .imovielibrary) with the finder then right click > view the contents of the package, you will see folders for each event and each project.  Within each of them will be a "Original media" folder which contains the imported clips.  You can play or copy them from there, but changes nothing in the library.

The normal workflow is to import clips into events and create projects and drag and drop clips from the events in the calendar of the project.

Geoff.

PS in the absence of other information, I assume you are using the latest version of iMovie (10.1.1)

  • How can I prevent imovie 10 to delete clips from my camera when importing?

    I just noticed that when I import my video into iMovie 10 clips get deleted from my camera. I don't want to do. How do you prevent iMovie to do this?

    I can't find anywhere preferences.

    Look in the iMovie > file > import media... window.  Your imported clips may be hidden in iMovie rather than actually removed from your device:

    Uncheck the box if necessary.  If the files reappear to iMovie clips from your camera, your camera should be OK.

  • How can I tell Lightroom what types of files (extensions) I want to be able to import?

    I had copied a. PNG file in the source folder and I wanted to import in the Lightroom Catalog.

    However the import dialog box does not show this file in the source folder at all.

    I also tried the method to select the source folder and using the option "synchronize". But who has not shown the. Either the PNG file.

    My clumsy work around was to open the file in CS6 and save it as a. JPG file.

    So my question: How can I tell Lightroom what types of files (extensions) I want to be able to import?

    You can't tell Lightroom what file types to import in the import dialog box. You could, if you wanted to, check that the boxes of file types to be imported, but it is a "manual" operation, it cannot be automated.

    In regards to the PNG files, Lightroom will NOT import them. The PNG files are not supported by Lightroom. In fact, Lightroom will import TIF, JPG, PSD, DNG and some RAW and film formats. Any other type of file cannot be imported into LR.

  • How can I update iMovie?

    After the update to El Capitan the iMovie app does not work with my old photos to iPhoto. They have partially disappeared from films. How to re - import the pix missing with new PHOTOS of the app to iMovie? How can I update iMovie? Same problem with GarageBand. Thank you, people of a response. Micha

    Version 8 iMovie is not compatible with El Capitan, so you must upgrade to iMovie 10.1.2. To connect to the App Store and look under the purchased Tab. Find iMovie and Garage Band. If they are not there, it may be that the free updates are not available in iMovie 8. I'm not sure about this. They are free to version 9. You can also go to your account and make sure iMovie is not hidden.

  • How can I tell LR back up NOW my catalog?

    I imported just a ton of photos.

    How can I tell LR back up NOW my catalog?

    LR3 only backup your catalog when you turn off LR, assuming you have the appropriate option to save the catalog whenever you stop LR. (You can also set to back up your catalog once a week or once a day when you have stopped LR).

    Thus, if the correct option is set to back up your catalog, you would simply close Lightroom.

  • How can I tell what drive installed on firefox?

    I use a fairly small SSD as my drive "C:". It contains the Windows files and it is, but I don't want to install all my programs on this drive. That's what concerns the second disc of 1Terabyte.

    During the installation, how can I tell Firefox to install on the second hard drive?

    Yes, you can select custom during installation Setup. But the vast majority of Firefox (wise disk space) will be the user / "roaming" area folderset on the same drive that the operating system is installed on – C: / drive. This is the default zone for the Firefox profile.

    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/profiles-where-Firefox-stores-user-data

    After installation, you can create a new profile on a different drive for your data Firefox and customizations.

    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles

    Before using chose the file to a custom location, you must create the folder and select this specific folder when you create the new profile. If you don't accidentally use the root folder, you risk losing everything on this disc, you will need to use an empty folder when you specify where you want the new profile.

    And once you create the profile, in the custom location, do not "clean" what remains on the c: / drive from the original installation. You will need the file profiles.ini so that Firefox knows where your profile 'in service' folder
