Q: some videos are not shown in iMovie - why?

I imported several videos from iPad/iPhone or my sony camcorder into my Aperture Library.

Now I want to work with the videos in iMovie but I cannot see them there. The videos are integrated into the Aperture library and not only linked to it. I do not have an explanation but it seems that from a certain date in the past no videos are shown in iMovie any more.

Can you help me and tell me what to do to get access on the video data in Aperture for editing in iMovie?

Thanks!

If videos are inported into Aperture as referenced then iMovoe will not see them. Make sure the movies are managed.

the files are managed by Aperture and copied into the library. No referenced file is shown. :-(

What should I do?

Try running a library on the Aperture Library. See Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
for details.

If that doesn't fix it post back.

I think Frank meant running the Aperture Library First Aid Tools - "Repair Database", or "Repair Permissions", "Rebuild Library".

I only have managed files, did a total rebuild, still only get a random selection in iMovie.
