• iMovie pull iTunes library

  I just bought a new macbook air. I installed the new version of iMovie, version 10.1.2. I can get downloaded photos and in the timeline, but I can't sync with my iTunes library.

  I am connected and authorized in my iTunes, I can see all my music in iTunes and I can play. In iMovie, it is not with the any of these music files. I can drag them from iTunes in iMovie and it imports the name and place in the timeline, but there is no audio real (not little waves on the track, even if this setting is enabled).

  I scoured internet. I can't understand this. Thank you

  Hi, syker,

  I think you have to use iTunes/preferences/advanced to configure iTunes library sharing to other applications.  Open your iTunes application and take a look at some advanced preferences.

  The reason that the songs that you drag in are not to play and no display of waveforms is probably because they are protected by DRM and are not available for use in iMovie.  I have 464 songs in my iTunes library I can't use.  Through the game of iTunes program, you have to pay, you can re - download at least some of the songs

  who are without DRM protection, as long as iTunes still sells the song.  Frustrating, I know.

  Best,

  Rich

• iMovie and photo library

  How can I open my of Foto-photoslibrary in iMovie (10.2.2 It is gray and I cannot import into iMovie.

  You do not import the photo library in iMovie. iMovie automatically displays the photo library. When you say that it is grey, I assume you mean in the preferences of Photos. This means that it is the library system, which is what you want. If you don't see the photo library in the library list in iMovie try opening the pictures before you launch iMovie.

• Photo library is missing in iMovie

  Hello

  In iMovie-> my media-> library, I have NO 'Libraries of Photos' for some reason any.

  

  It's very annoying.  Does anyone know how to get that back?  Also note, I have two libraries iMovie for a reason any.  No idea why this is and how to get back to a?

  Here's what iMovie should resemble:

  

  Thank you!

  Brad

  The library of photos that shows in iMovie is the designated as library system in photos app preferences. I guess that is ok for you as I assume that your question that photo library showed upward in iMovie for you in the past since you said how to get that back. This is a known problem that the photo library is intermittently showing in iMovie. A solution that seems to work is to open the pictures before you open iMovie. For your multiple iMovie libraries, it is possible that when you updated to iMovie, you had an iMovieProjects folder and the iMovieEvents folder on more than one player?

• clips from library for the FCPX external drive disappear

  First time user FCPX.

  I run an end iMac from 2012 and has been using iMovie 10.1.2 until yesterday.  Just before you buy FCPX, I ran out of hard drive space and got a disk external 4 TB and transferred my iMovie library here.  I've renamed the library external iMovie "iMovie" and deleted the one on my Mac, releasing 500 GB of space.  Tested with iMovie using the external drive, no problem, everything works ok.

  Then, I bought yesterday FCPX.  To have access to all my old clips in imovie, I used iMovie and open "library external iMovie" and used the 'send to Final Cut Pro library' command in the file menu of iMovie.  Everything seemed fine, as I was able to open the library in FCPX and all my clips and events were there.

  I thought everything was great, then I went to add some clips to FCPX of my video camera.  I created a second library FCPX and put the clips.  They have downloaded completely, but after downloading said it was over, my machine froze and I had to do a hard reboot by turning off.  This isn't all that unusual, sometimes my Mac crashes when I leave it alone for several hours.

  After that I turned on and opened FCPX, I see in the left pane, two libraries, and events, but some clips appear on my screen.  I opened and closed the library hoping to get the clips to the rear, without success.

  Any idea what went wrong or how to fix it?  I don't know whether to attribute the problem to computer freezing, or rather the use for the first time an external drive to host my files.

  If I can't understand what went wrong, and then I simply repeat the process I went through the first time and see if I get the same results, but I'd rather figure out what I did wrong and try to fix it, so I have a higher level of comfort, go ahead.   I hope that this will not be an experience repeat everything simply because I'm hosting my video files on an external drive.

  Thank you!

  The problem is caused by the shutdown. You could see if there is a backup in the case of movies, but there are maybe not if you have imported only from the media.

  You cannot use this computer with FCP if hard it crashes. You have to get it repaired. No computer should crash like that unless you pull the plug. If you have problems to get a UPS to give you time to stop.

• Cannot create new trailers and films in iMovie

  My iMovie 10.1.2 on my macbook air 13 inch early 2014 running OS X El Capitan cannot create movies and new trailers. I tried to press file > New Trailer, but I can press it. I tried to put pictures on it, but it seems we can't operate. Help, please!

  Have you tried to create a new film or trailer of the tav project, click on the button "+"?  If this does not work either, try, if you can create a new movie, if you're an iMovie different woking library.

  You can create a library of iMovie to test like this: (iMovie Help)

  • Choose file > open library > new.
  • In the Save dialog box appears, type a name for the new library and navigate to the location where you want to save it. The default location is the movies folder in your home folder.
  • Enregistrer.une click New library is created in the location you have chosen, and an empty event with the current date is created.

• iMovie doesn't let me create a new movie

  iMovie doesn't let me create a new movie

  What version of iMovie?

  If the button '+' in iMovie 10.1.2 doesn't let you create a new movie, try to delete the iMovie preferences.  If the elements of the user interface do not, deleting preferences frequently you contribute.

  To delete the iMovie preferences leaving iMovie, runs, and then press and hold options and command key at the same time, at the launch of iMovie. Keep now pressed the buttons firmly until you see a command prompt to remove the preference. Confirm.

  

  Before you do, take note of all the settings that you made in iMovie preferences panel, so you can put back them later. iMovie will then begin with the Welcome screen.

  When I had a similar problem, the only thing that helped was to create an iMovie library.  Probably a corrupted in the iMovie project current library prevented the creation.   The problem persists, if you test different library in iMovie? You can create a library for testing.

• iMovie compared to Photos

  Photos will import video from cameras, run them and even to give options to cut them.  I find it more convenient to have my video clips and photos of events together in this way.

  Is there really an advantage to use iMovie, unless you want to process or combine clips?

  There are some changes that the Photos can't do, for example stabilize shaky videos.

  I import my photos, video clips and if I need to stabilize or changes of edge, I opened the clips in iMovie, and import them back to Photos.

  iMovie displays your library of Photos of system in the media section and open it right from there in iMovie,

  I would add the animated maps and iMovie titles or the green to two clips screen screen, if I want to create a slide show.

  Your photo library will appear in the 'My media' tab in iMovie 10.1.2:

  

• Project seems OK to iMove, using the part of the video is damaged.

  I created a project in iMovie. 10.1.1. everything looks and plays OK.

  It contains only clips and transitions, video camcorder and original sounds.

  It plays OK in iMovie.

  Using the shared file... translates into a corrupted mp4 file.

  I tried various resolutions, always the same result.

  Here is a screenshot of part of the video, which does not play, some static, some jerky movements.

  Thank you.

  

  Hello Tokyo,

  Thanks for the screen shot showing the corruption of the shared iMovie project. It is encouraging that the project plays well in iMovie, but we need to isolate what can happen here.

  Before you begin, it is always good to have up-to-date backups.

  OS X El Capitan: of alternatives for the backup of your Mac

  You have tested with different resolutions.  It also happens with different Compression and quality settings?

  If it works, it can get you an export but we should always isolate why these exports did not work.

  This happens with other projects?  If this isn't the case, then there is a problem with this project specifically.

  If you do not currently have another project to test with you can create a new little project for the test.

  iMovie (2013): create a new movie

  You can use the construction in camera to create new content, fees for the test.

  If the problem is with just the initial project, you can duplicate to troubleshoot a copy.  Duplicate project by clicking on it in the Finder and choose duplicate.

  That your project contains only clips and transitions, first to see if it is a question of transition by removing the (or half of them) and to share to see if it works now.  If it works, one of the deleted transitions is the question and you can begin to add to that their return to isolate.

  If it is not yet implemented with no transition, then it can be a problem of clip. As with transitions, take half and test.

  iMovie (2013): organize your events and projects

  Continue to isolate to refine the offending clip.  Then re - import fresh clip and test.

  Note to check 'the other half' if necessary, it may be easier to delete this test project and to reproduce the original again to continue his tests.

  If the problem occurs with all projects and then see if there is a problem with your user account settings by testing with another user account.

  How to test a question in another account on your Mac - Apple Support

  Test with a new project and see if it works with this new account.  If so, then there is a problem with your user account, and we need to clean up.

  1 open the ~/Library folder in your user account

  2. move anything in the files Caches and preferences that starts with com.apple.imovie on the desktop

  including the iMovie user specific files:

  iMove 2013:

  ~/Library/containers/com. Apple.iMovie.app

  ~/Library/caches/iMovie/

  3. search for and move plugins QuickTime of third party on the desktop:

  / Library/QuickTime /.

  Here's the Apple Codecs that do not need to be removed:

  /Library/QuickTime/AppleIntermediateCodec.component

  /Library/QuickTime/AppleMPEG2Codec.component

  4 restart the computer and test. If it works, you can remove the files from.  If no change, you can put the removed preferences by replacing the newly created files.

  If the problem occurs with the new user iMovie itself may need to be reinstalled.

  OS X Yosemite: install, update and uninstall applications

  This may seem long, but the goal is to isolate which raises the question so we can fix it.

  Please let us know how it goes.

• migration of events imovie to new Mac without using the Migration Wizard

  Hello

  I want to do the following:

  Migrate from iMovie events of an old MacBook Pro (10.6.8 Snow Leopard) created using iMovie ' 08

  TO

  (Yosemite 10.10.5) iMac with iMovie 10.1.1

  All events are stored on 3 external drives (Nothing on the internal drive of MBP). Disks have FireWire interfaces, I can't connect them directly to the iMac.

  The destination is another external drive, with Thunderbolt interface. I copied the serious events in 3 separate directories, but not tried opening them with iMovie. Wasn't sure if there was data stored elsewhere (in ~/Library for example) that might be needed; In addition, I didn't know if I could manually merge the 3 separate records events iMovie with the Finder, or need to do somehow with iMovie.

  I manually moved everything some time ago - I haven't used Wizard migration; I didn't have enough disk space attached to the iMac when I moved everything, so I carried on using iMovie on the old MBP.

  I googled and read several articles on the events to an external drive / to new Mac, but none of them totally covers my starting position and desired end result.

  Would appreciate any insight how to go on this issue, and how and where exactly iMovie keeps all the data you need.

  The articles are (among others):

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT202853 "update of projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014).

  http://help.Apple.com/iMovie/#mov3ac6d42c "copy or move a video in your library of events to an external hard drive.

  https://support.Apple.com/kb/PH2302 "iMovie 11: copy or move video from your library of events to an external hard drive.

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT203049 "move your iMovie for Mac library (2014).

  If your iMovie ' 08 projects contain media from outside the record of events (for example, from iPhoto or iTunes) then we must first using iMovie ' 08 on your old computer to "consolidate" your support so that everything is copied in the events folder.  Details for the iMovie 11 version can be found at: http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6c7c9

  I don't have the ' 08 version help files, but I think it will be the same - you can check with your old Mac.

  "Disks have FireWire interfaces, I can't connect them directly to the iMac.

  FireWire adapters Thunderbolt are available for about € 30, which would use these drives on your new Mac.

  In fact, you can copy the project files and events with the viewfinder of an old external drive to the root level of the new new external drive (which should be Apple - formatted), but it is probably best to do from in iMovie ' 08, as described in the help of Apple.   Do 'copy' and not 'move' - this way you always have a backup of the original on the old disks in case of problems.

  I would like to convert the project files and the events of each of the 3 discs one at a time, creating 3 libraries separate iMovie 10.1.1.  You can always rearrange these in iMovie 10 after you have everything updated and verified.  Some people have reported the update of blocking process at any given time, so update in small batches of events and projects is much better than trying to do everything at the same time.

  In fact I would try to first simply copy one (or a small group) project and its events associated with the new external with iMovie ' 08 HD then update to ensure that it will work - from iMovie ' 08 for iMovie 10.1.1 is a big jump.

  Good luck!

• New iMac will not let me install iMovie 10.1 and iMovie 9.0.9

  Hello

  I have a new iMac (with Capitan 10.11.1) and has made a transfer of my old iMac, where I was running both iMovie (for all my new films since 2013) 10.1 and 9.0.9 iMovie (for my pre of movies more old-2013). However, my new iMac only copied through the iMovie 10.1 and refuses to allow me to install iMovie 9.0.9 too.

  Two options:

  Is there an easy way to get my iMac to allow two versions of iMovie to run?

  OR

  There's an easy way to transfer all my projects and events 9.0.9 iMovie in the iMovie 10.1 library so I can watch all my old files (*.prj) project

  Grateful for all suggestions / advice

  Thank you very much

  Evie

  iMovie 9 does not work properly with El Capitan.

  I suggest that you use your old mac to transfer your iMovie projects to iMovie 10 9.   You then consolidate projects and events that you have just updated in order to ensure that the library contains everything and has no links to files on the old mac that won't be available on the new mac.  See: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/mov882dee351 for more details.

  Give a distinct name to the library and copy it with Finder via a network or an external drive for the new mac.  You can then copy the updated events and projects of the first library on the new mac.  See: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/mov3fa25bae7 for more details.

  When you are sure that everything is working OK you can trash the library with the Finder.  First close iMovie.

• Importing video on external hard drive

  How to import videos in iMovie that are already on an external hard drive (connection) Thunderbolt. I don't want to move them on HD of the Macbook Air.

  Icebear Hello!

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  I see you want to access the video files on an external hard drive and not to transfer to the HD on your MB Air. You must import the video into your iMovie library to work with it, but what you can do is move your iMovie library to an external hard drive. Here are some articles on how to do it, according to the version of iMovie that you use.

• I DELETED VIDEOS FROM PHOTO LIBRARY AND THEY REMOVED OFF THE COAST OF IMOVIE!

  So I was about to export a video to my iphone out of storage ram. So I decided to remove the videos from the library until I discovered, it removes off imovie! I didn't know that! Like imovie takes lots of storage. I deleted the videos of recently deleted, so now they are gone!

  Is it possible to restore them?

  And if you're advising me to download something, no malware or viruses please.

  If you have enabled iCloud photo library, that's how he wanted to work. iCPL synchronizes all changes and actions, including deletions, across all your devices and computers.

  The only way for you to restore these files is from a backup, preferably on your computer.
