iMove not working for my GoPro...Why?

iMovie 11 is not downloading my files so I can make and share my movie off my GoPro 3 Black anymore... Does anyone know what is happening? It put's the files on iMove, I create the new movie, I go to share and click on Youtub and it doesn't recognize the camera and won't save the files when I go to download. It's not downloading anymore this was working two weeks ago and I have created over 130 movies on iMove...??? Is there a fix for this problem?

Thank you anyone for your help!

iMovie '11, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Have you tried first copying the files from you SD card to your computer and then importing to iMovie?

Hello Matthew,

No I haven't and why would I... I have downloaded over 130 movies on iMove with no problems...??? So now I have to buy something to put my Micro SD card from my Gopro and then download it into my computer? What has happened to iMovie 11 ???

I suggest it because it's how I've always imported footage from my GoPro. I have an SD card reader built into my iMac as do many Macs.

You could go back to using iMovie version 9. It should have been retained when you installed iMovie version 10.

Hi Matthew,

That confuses me because I've already downloaded 130 movies on iMovie by plugging in my GoPro to my iMac...Something has changed...Right? Because normally i'd just do what I've always done...Plug in my GoPro and make my movie...?

I'd love to go back to iMove 9 but why would that be any different then 10 as I've already made 5 or more movies on version 10?

Thanks for your help, Chris

iMovie 10 is a significant rewrite from the previous version. Among other things, 64-bit compatibility was added as well as other "under the hood" changes. There are also many user interface changes and some features were changed or dropped altogether.

I can't confirm that the problem you're having is because of those changes as I haven't tried it, but it's entirely possible.

If you had a workflow that was working for you in version 9, it might be easiest just to stick with it for the time being or to give SD card import a try.
