Although there seems to be quite a big gap between my posts, it doesn’t mean that I haven’t been doing any filming (although that could also be true too!!). In fact, I did quite a bit of filming while I was in Sydney but I wasn’t able to post any of my footage as I hit a gremlin when I tried to edit it once I was home and that set me back for quite a time while I tried to figure out what the problem was.
Essentially, when I tried to put my downloaded clips from the Event menu to the Project menu, they kept disappearing, no matter what I seemed to do. It became even more frustrating because I later filmed a school graduation and that all seemed to work perfectly!
Finally, in desperation and as a last resort, I copied all the footage from my Events folder to an external hard drive then reimported it back to iMovie. That seemed to do the trick as I was finally able to edit the footage in the Projects menu. Phew!
The clips that caused me all the problems to begin with were filmed in The Rocks, Sydney, so I guess I should post that one first!
