I imported a movie, and then all of the sudden right when the video was finished i hit stop, imovie then closed unexpectedly, so i reopened it, and now all my clips are in the trash! how do i get them back into where the clips should be located?

nope its not in the regular trash, its in like "imovie trash", and the apple website says i should just be able to drag it back into the section for the clips to get it to work, but thats not working at all, i cant even drag them anywhere.:mad:
 
Could be a glitch. Might be best to trash the project, check for updates, and then re-import your footage.:eek:

Couldn't you have just dragged the clip icons back into the clips pane?

anyway, i re-imported and everythings going good. Except, anyone want to tell me why when i add transistion effects between clips, it doesnt play the audio?
 
Similar problem.

I had the same problem with clips that were recorded using the built-in iSight feature, so I can't re-import them as they were never imported in the first place. Likewise, I am unable to drag them anywhere to restore them. Have I lost them forever?
