Finding my latest imovie project

I saved my iMovie project to my ext key but when I tried to play it I found it stopped at the halfway point. Now I cannot find the last version of my project to redo it.

Also, you might look into the iMovie Backups folder to find a previous automatic backup of your library and see if your project is contained in it.


To get to the iMovie Backups folder, follow this file path from the Finder menu:


Go/Home/Library/Containers/com.apple.iMovieApp/Data/Library/Caches/iMovieBackups


 NOTE:  If running Ventura or later, in the above file path substitute iMovie for com.apple.iMovieApp.  So, for Ventura, the file path would read:


 Go/Home/Library/Containers/iMovie/Data/Library/Caches/iMovieBackups


When you get there you will see a list of previous backups of your iMovie library.  Click on one dated just before your issue started.  iMovie will open in that library.   Navigate to your projects browser (where your projects are displayed as icons) and see if your project is contained there.
