Why is - my iMovie library file so HUGE?

• My iMovie library is empty but huge!

  I am on an iMac 2010 running Yosemite 10.10.5, with 500 GB of memory and iMovie 10.

  I got a message saying that my hard drive was full.   The investigation that I was surprised to find that my iMovie library represents half of my hard drive use.  I've been trawling though questions about the community how iMovie 10 and problems people have been seen and found some good stuff.  As a result, I moved videos using Finder on an external drive.  In iMovie I moved everything out of the iMovie Trash library. Who freed some space, although I fear that the problem of space happen just when I reload the videos in iMovie. After doing all that iMovie library always uses 234 GB of memory and I don't see not what is in it - when I go into iMovie library in iMovie and click on "All clips" there is nothing there.  Finder does not show me what is in the iMovie library, it just tells you how many GB used.

  So I have two questions please:

  1. How will I know what is in my library from iMovie?

  2. How do I, then move elsewhere to free up space on the hard drive?

  Tips welcome!

  "In iMovie, I all moved from the iMovie Trash library" what exactly have you moved and how?

  To see what is in your iMovie library made a right click on it and select "show the contents of the package.   The "original media files contain raw clips and stills.  Don't change anything in it with the Finder, only using iMovie.

  If you upgraded from iMovie 9 you still have iMovieprojects and imovieevents under records / films.   Any medium of origin in imMvie 9 and 10 iMovie files and libraries is deleted only when the two are deleted.

  iMovie creates a large number of additional files, and whoever does a significant amount of video editing is ultimately what will put their library (ies) on an external drive.

• (Can single or multiple iMovie library I get your help on that)?

  I do 7 minute short videos on YouTube/Facebook...

  And I want to do a lot every week.

  I am concerned about the backup "bloat". Library files can become very large.

  And if they get corrupted, I'm toast.

  So I thought, "why not create a new iMovie for each video library?

  Good idea? Bad?

  Any benefits or disadvantages with this method?

  Yes you can do it if you want.  You can have as many libraries as you want.  If they use completely separate events there will be virtually no general cool storage to achieve and, as you suggest, you won't 'all your eggs in one basket. "  You can also easily remove or archive them offline if you run out of space.   A film library is perhaps a bit excessive, but it's certainly a good idea for each of them to have only a small number of related projects (at the time, subject or share the same media).

  If different libraries share all events can be multiple copies of original media for this event in each library (I say 'may' because I do not know if hard links are used in this case (when libraries are on the same volume) which would result in only one copy of the original media being present.)

• iMovie library moved but still holding the disk space

  I create separate iMovie libraries and record them on an external hard drive so that they take place on my computer drive. When I look into iMovie, all the various events, I had aren't there, so it would seem that save them to the external hard drive was working. However, my storage show a huge amount of space is being taken up by movies! Under "movies" in the Finder, I clicked on "View the contents of the package" for the iMovie library, and it shows all of the projects I have and under each one of them is the original media that I had moved on the external hard drive!

  I am very confused as to why this is happening. The raw images should not be on my computer if I'd put away them!

  They are not under the iMovie library when the program is opened. Should I remove the projects too?

  I'm running iMovie 10.1

  You seem to have copied and not moved.   How exactly did you create and populate the libraries on the external hard drive?

• Time Machine - How he manipulates iMovie library?

  Looking at turning on Time Machine with an iMovie 2 TB file.   Two questions:

  1 Time Machine will perform incremental (after a full backup) in the library at the file level, if a project/event is added or changed to iMovie?   Or consider the iMovie library changed as a whole and backup the entire 2 TB each time that any file in the iMovie library folder is changed?

  2. same question as above, but for the restoration.   You restore the iMovie library, if you want to restore the files associated with a single event or files related to a project?

  -Mark

  Time Machine will perform incremental (after a full backup) in the library at the file level, if a project/event is added or changed to iMovie?

  Yes.

  You restore the iMovie library, if you want to restore the files associated with a single event or files related to a project?

  You must restore the library in a consistent state, and the only practical way to do so is to restore all at once.

• iMovie project file

  How can I save a project as an 'iMovie project file' and share it with others so that they can change whatever they want in it? Using iMovie 10.1.1

  Do not save as a project file option as in iMovie iPad.

  Don't see anything in the events of iMovie folder.

  You must share a comprehensive library, if you create a library containing only the desired project and its associated events.  Note that other people must use exactly the same version of iMovie and if you have media from your library which comes from the library from another application (for example. Photos) must be "consolidated" library.  See: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/mov882dee351

  Frankly, this is not a simple thing or practice to do so.

• I accidentally changed a *.vi labview library file. How can I fix my system?

  Dear Sir:

  I work with Labview version 8.5. works on Windows Vista o/s.

  I accidentally changed a *.vi Labview library file and now some programs which in the past has executed correctly, no more to run correctly.

  I have modified the library is named lvsound.llb and the file I changed, "SO Write.vi".

  I made two changes, however, the first amendment has been removed.

  That's what happened.   I modified the file SO Write.vi by chance, somehow, a link has been broken.

  I thought I could repair the file copy of a file to write identical SO that I had stored on another computer.     What I've done I copied the work SO Write.vi content block diagram (which was stored on a disk that is external and not stored in the 'sound' of Labview installation folder) and then I opened the SO Write.vi in the lvsound.llb (this is the *.llb of Labview installed) and deleted everything in the block and then diagram I replaced the block diagram with the copied block diagram.   I thought that that would solve my problems because the copied program did not have a cut connection - no broken arrow icon).     However, I soon discovered that programs that completed successfully before the accident, still not function properly after swapping content block diagram.

  I have attached a picture of the error message.

  Can someone tell me please the safest way to fix my system?

  Don't exchange the content of block diagram, or if you do so, as it was put in place the same connector pane. When you have removed all the controls and indicators, the connector pane has been authorized which explains why things that call this Subvi will not see that it has no control. To fix it, you need match this component of the connector:

  To set up, click an empty area of the connector pane, and then click the command corresponding or indicator. For example, down to the left of your new connector pane, click on the bottom left box, and then click 'error (no errors)' control for screws outside pass an error via the connector pane. To see where everything is connected, I would recommend that you go to a computer with a working version and one by one, click on the terminal part of the connector and the corresponding command will highlight:

  

  for example, clicking on the top left corner will highlight control "ID of the task in.

  Another option you have is to simply copy the .vi itself (file, block diagram not only) of library work, delete or rename the current "SO Write.vi" and simply drag the file .vi from the Explorer on the LLB Manager.

• Why is my music library still looking for missing unknown album everyday now never stops

  Why is my music library still looking for missing unknown album everyday now never stops

  Hello

  ·         You did changes to the computer before the show?

• Why did all of my files migrate to my new iMac using Time Machine?

  I recently bought a new iMac and used Time Machine to transfer my data from my Macbook.  Why not a not transfer files of Pages, Numbers and Keynote?  Why all three have a? on the dock?

  Files transferred without doubt, but the Dock shortcuts are not connected to them.

  Try to remove these shortcuts from the Dock and replace them with news from your Applications folder.

• Move the library file to new mac, as well as metadata

  If I had to move my library of Photos to another mac, all the metadata (faces, keywords, etc.) will come with it? Not in terms of the timing, but the library of faces real itself, etc. Is it as simple as move the photo library file to the new location or is there an official way to do this?

  Thanks as always!

  Just drag it to the new computer or transfer using a hard drive in Mac OS extended (journaled) format

• damaged library file

  My SSD worked more properly and the library files got scrambled. I tried to delete the library files and let iTunes new build but the songs are no longer with the good albums and when they are in the right albums, many of them are listed twice... Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Normally, I suggest the approach in the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library. Is your library on the SSD with the media on another drive? If yes you can also take a look at make a library of portable split. I can make suggestions for fixing broken links or deduping once it is clear that the issues are.

• An easy way to re-import massive media after a hard disk crash if the library files are intact?

  Hello

  I'm running 10.2.3 on OS X 10.11.3 FCPX. My external hard drive just crashed, and while I was able to save most everything else (including library files, proxy support, etc.), Miss me about 90% of the media about 2 000 "original" files. Because the library files have been saved, it seems that my projects seem to be intact, including the cuts and changes. Since FCPX knows what files and parts of files were previously imported, import should be easy... except for the fact that there are about 1 800 distributed clips on dozens of camera archives.

  Is there a way to 'massive re-import' office where he knows the clips came, without having to wade through thousands of clips in dozens of archives and manually by clicking on each of them? Because there is also the fact that, due to several archives of the camera used, different are multiple "Clip #1", "Clip #2", etc. that FCP is solved by adding a number at the end (for example, "Clip #1 (fcp1)" and "Clip #1 (fcp2)"). " I'm afraid that if I import everything in disorder (maybe I not initially import a clip, but returned later and get it), I'll have to sift through to find a needle in a haystack and rename the files manually.

  Even if I have to specify the locations of these archives of tens of couple, it would be so much easier than having to go into each of them and click 1 800 files manually... Any suggestions?

  Please and thank you!

  Too bad. I had assumed the import > reimportation of the camera wasn't working, but apparently because I had saved the AVCHD archives on my hard drive via the Finder instead of 'Create the Archives' of in Final Cut, he just didn't see them. Creating new archives of these same AVCHD files (or rather the folders 'PRIVATE' which originally housed them on the SD card) did the trick and I was able to reimport. Alternatively, I could have re-recorded these SD cards PRIVATE folders and it would have identified those as the original 'camera' once again, too and I could have reimported it... but who would be tedious.

• With Photos being out why keep the iPhoto library

  With Photos being out why keep the iPhoto library.

  Because you can use it.

  Because you might not be sure that you want to use pictures.

  A safety net.

• deleted for the Photos of El Capitan library file

  I was bugged by the library file that was done in my pictures folder so I deleted it and now when I want to open the Photos app, I get this: pictures cannot find system named «Library.photoslibrary Photos» Photo library I would like to disable the app entirely but can not because I do not more open.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you!

  Eva

  Welcome to Apple Support communities

  What do you mean by 'disable the app? If you do not want to use the Photos app more, do not open it. You have removed from its library, so it won't do anything.

  If you want to continue using Photos, open it while pressing the Alt key then it will let you choose the library you want to use with it or create a new. You can also recover your old library from a Time Machine backup, if you have a.

• Creation of stand-alone executable file with similar library files without errors of link

  I have an Executive Test that is run on two different test systems. Each stand has another card ARINC429. The old card use 429dll32.lib, while the most recent map use pci429.lib. Test Exec code only loads a single library file (using LoadExternalModule) depending on what the test bench has the card, but since there are many similar functions in both, ICB does not test Exec be built as a stand-alone executable.

  In CVI 5.0.1 I opens the "Create stand-alone executable file" and select "add files to the executable. I check the 429dll32.lib and the pci429.lib to include in the creation of executable, and then click 'OK '. When I click 'OK' to create the executable I have several link errors, one for each function both .lib files have in common.

  Is it possible for each of these .lib files to be included in the compilation without having to create two separate executables?

  eatmontr:

  If you use LoadExternalModule(), you need not include the .lib files in the Executive test project.  Refer to the CVI for LoadExternalModule help.

  Here's the info on the help:

  LoadExternalModule loads an external object module file. You need not list the file in your project or loaded as a module of an instrument.

  The file may be an object (.obj) file, a library file (.lib) or a library (.lib) import DLL.

  Here are a few articles to OR who can help.
