iMovie keeps disappearing offscreen - can't get it back

[CoffeeMonkey]

I am running iMovie '08 on an iMac, spanning two screens with a 23" cinema display.

If I hit F9 and doe the Expose' thing, the iMovie window shows up. But when I click on the iMovie app, it zips off the left side of the left screen. The program is running, and I can do things on the iMovie menu, I just cannot access the screen. And it is NOT showing up in spaces either. The application is running, I just can't see the window anywhere.

Anyone know what is going on?

Hmm, I haven't encountered this problem but as you may be thinking it could be because you've got the two displays. Try it without both plugged in and see if it happens, otherwise, try minimising, zooming or hiding the app then restoring it. If it's a windowing glitch then this often fixes that sort of thing.

Sorry I couldn't be more help, but no one else seemed to be replying.

i solved this very same problem today, weirdly enough. go to the "window" menu and choose "zoom"

should solve your problem

How intuitive Apple, I would have "never" thought of that. Thanks for the solution.

I can't find it...

Maybe a dumb question, but where is the "window" and the "zoom"? I have the same problem

I am a beginner at using iMovie and I have learned a lot and actually posted to my Youtube page some of my videos via iMovie and I love it! Though I have run into an issue that i have been unable to solve in iMovie 9.0.9, I hope you can help me here.

I have a video that consist of me speaking and I have imported images as well. I have figured how to use the Precision Editor to where the images begin to appear and narration continues in the background. But here is the problem, I am unable to pick back up on the actual video of me speaking after images are finished displaying. I found an alternate way but my audio drops out, there has to be a more effective way in performing this. Please help.
