How do I get back an imovie project that shows up in the Project library but doesn't show up in imovie itself?

Worked on an i-Movie project yesterday but when opened i-Movie this morning, the project showed a date of January 13 as last modified date and the project was completely empty. When I look in Project Library, I can see the project from yesterday. How do I get it back into my i-Movie so it will open. Thanks.

MacBook, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Hi there!


I am having the same problem. Worked hard for hours to get a project done and suddenly disappeared!


I had 7 projects in my Project Library and now I only see 6. I see the file in the finder but it won´t show up on Imovie. I have read all the tips and erased the famous com.apple...plist file and nothing happened.


According to what I have seen, we may be at a dead end. It seems that Imovie is unreliable. Sad because I thought that this kind of stuff didn´t happen on a mac (by the way, a brand new MBAir).


Any other solutions would be highly appreciated. Just sharing my frustration!


PD. Sorry for my english, it is not my native language.

It's best to report this to Apple, as the more they hear from us the more likely we'll get a fix (hopefully). There is probably a common issue with this, but I'm struggling to think of what may have triggered the problem. Was it a "recent" update to iMovie or OS X Mountain Lion, or perhaps another updated app conflicting with iMovie?


To report the problem to Apple, in iMovie's menu click on iMovie > Provide iMovie Feedback.
