Had to restart my machine without rendering my movie. Does that mean I've lost 2 days work because if I have that is the worst update to a piece of software of all time. What happens if I want to go to it in a few months? Aaron, Erika, I've the same issue. After two days of work and 25 minutes project well done now imovie 09 8.

I've just repaired permission, deleted preference, reinstalled imovie, tried other disks I've had the inability to add new titles too, when I had the issue. So, thanks to a searchs in Apple discussion forum for the last one, I've discovered the matter was the "fou corners" title. I had two of this buggy title type in my project: deleting them now all works fine!! Seems lots of people are experiencing this BUG, and it just happened to me as well - after publishing a video, I went back to my iMovie project and saw my transitions, titles, effects, and soundtrack were LOST.

I am so mad I am about to throw my machine out the window! So far Apple as not acknowledged the problem. Never had much trouble before Snow Leopard "upgrade". Have to lug 20" iMac to Apple store tomorrow. Big mess. I've been researching this topic for days and find no reasonable answer.

I want to "save" today's version. Work on the project a few more days and then "save" that version. These are my backups. I may want to go back to that version I had last week and fork it off into something else. What directory do I copy in order to make a snapshot of the current project? How do I leave one project, start another, then come back to some other project later? I don't think I'll ever be able to shut down iMovie since it appears I will most likely lose my entire work.

Something is missing in this picture. I don't get it. Wednesday night i spent 4 hrs editing on imovie and accidently pushed the 'Open Camera Import Movie' button. The programme closes and my movie is gone. I reedited last night , tried to save,couldn't. It was suggested that i close the programme and this should force it to ask u to save.

Movie GONE!!! Not only can't u save!!! You can't Save As. The Salesman should warn. Is there an answer to this problem yet?? I feel completely crippled after upgrading. I've redone a video 3 times, I can't spend my time doing this only to find my work gone. I've tried to get all the way through the video and export it in one session, but then the program crashes This is a nightmare with iMovie. I just lost edits after 14 hours. I will not be able to make my deadline now.

It's AM, I just read these earlier posts, and they've confirmed my nightmare. The size, or resolution, will effect how big your exported file is and how long it takes to export.

You generally will want to use the Large size but one of the HD options would be better if possible. Choose the size you want or leave it as the default and click Next.

Now you can change where your file will be saved. Delete old projects and events After you update projects and events to a library, you can delete the old projects and events folders: In the Finder, choose Home from the Go menu. Open the Movies folder. Find the "iMovie Events" and "iMovie Projects" folders and drag them to the trash.
