Hi,
I have a project saved and I want to provide someone with the raw footage of the project but I can't find it. All I can see is the finished project with all my editing, cut ins etc. What has happened to the raw footage?
Thanks

Normally, the raw footage would be in your Event Library.
Yes a few have said it is in my event library - that's the thing. It is not in my event library? So where else might it be?
1) If your Project is still intact, does it look normal? Or are there yellow warning signs? If there are yellow warnings, you may be able to hover over the yellow warning and it will tell you where it expected to find the clips.
2) Right-click on a video clip in the Project and select SHOW IN FINDER (or REVEAL IN FINDER). Where does it take you?
3) Sometimes, for certain cameras, you can import into iPhoto or Aperture. In this case, there should be an item in your Event Library called iPhoto Events. You would find your clips in there.
4) If you deleted the Event, the Event and clips might still be in the Trash, unless you have emptied the trash.
5) If you have moved the Event folder using the Finder, iMovie will not know where they are. You should move them back to the Movies/iMovie Events folder and restart iMovie.
6) If you need to move Events or Projects to another drive, be sure to do it from within iMovie following these instructions. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4141
