Hey,
My problem is actually a bit more complicated than the subject even explains. I created a 25 minute, very detail-edited (many clips, transitions, effects, sound clips, etc) iMovie in what I think was iMovie 2. I have it stored on an external firewire drive. If I open the project from that external drive in iMovie 4 (the iMovie.app is running on my pb's hard drive), everything plays the way it is supposed to.
Yesterday I transferred the entire project (the main folder with the project file, media folder, etc.) onto a different external hard drive with more free space, so I could create a DVD. When I opened the identical project off of the second drive, it gave a message when loading that "15 Files Found That Do Not Belong, would you like to: Leave Files Alone, or Trash Ununsed Files". Now, these files DO belong in my project. Most of them are sound clips that were located in the second audio track. Choosing the leave alone option doesn't do anything to fix this, and trashing them does just that.
Why is this happening? I went back to my original copy on that first drive, made sure it was correct, re-saved it, then re-transferred to the second drive. I thought maybe something hadn't been properly saved or transferred in the first copy, but when I did this two times, both times I had the "files do not belong" message.
Why is this happening, how can I prevent it? I wasted 3 hours the other day working in iDVD & burning DVDs only to find out that many of my audio clips were gone...
Any ideas? Thanks!
-Josh
