I have videos from various types of cameras and my iPhone on iMovies. I am trying to discover the meaning/significance of timeline video scenes that contain an orange bar across the lower portion of the video or a purple line that runs across the upper portion of a timeline video. Thanx!
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), intel iMac

Hi Karsten
I use to answer like this (alternative way - not any better)
There are sort of color-coding in iMovie
iMovie 1 to HD6 (version 1.0.x - 6.0.4 (3))
Non in special
- Red stripe under the picture (in TimeLine) while rendering
- Yellow marker signs for Chapter Mark
- Green marker signs for Comment Mark
iMovie’08 to 11 (version 7.0.x - 9.0.x)
Violet and White - Most probably connected to Key-notes (Footage has been marked with keywords/s) (People one or many)
Blue band at top - Most probably connected to Key-notes (Footage has been marked with keywords/s) (Panning - Left or Right)
Jaggy red line at bottom - Stabilizing failed in these parts of the clip
Gray boarders (letter-boxed) - Clip was rotated - No real idea Why it is like this
Orange line at the bottom - Clip is part of the selected Project (going on) - if other project is selected the line disappears as Clip is not included in now selected project.
Green line (at top) - Footage has been marked as Favorite
Yellow frame with handles - Clip has been selected and can be trimmed to be shorter in time (at start or end of it)
Red horizontal line (at top) - Rejected Clip
Red vertical line - is the Playhead in the TimeLine view
-----------------------------
Red line in Audio portion - NO IDEA ?
Red ontop of the Yellow only indicates that Audio level is too strong and in need to be decreased - but it use to play with more or less distorsion (very unpleasant)
Red vertical line - is the Playhead in the TimeLine view
iMovie’13 (version 10.0.x)
Have no idea
Yours Bengt W
Just a test to get pictures in to the answer.

I do see the attached pic (but blurry - too compressed?), but that doesn't mean
a) everybody does
b) nor that I will see it tomorrow... = the forum bug isn't fixed yet… to my knowledge
What is the significance of a lower orange bar or upper purple bar within the scenes of a timeline?
