Q: iMovie 8 not working with El Capitain

Problems

 

!. iMovie 8 has lost all still images (loaded from iPhoto) under El Capitain

 

2. iMovie 10 can not seem to import (file-->Import iMOvie ios) projects from iMovie 8

 

3 iMovie 10 cant import project media

 

I have reinstalled both OS and iMovie 10 twice but no effect.

 

iMovie 10 works perfectly with photos but seems incompatible with any events or projects made with iMovie 8

 

Is there a solution to these problems please?

 

10.1 iMac, 21.5", 3,3,2TB, *g RAM

    Well I tried!  I logged in as a guest after having set up iMovie project and events files in Movies in the shared user file.  I then put what were matching events and projects into these files.  As a guest I opened iMovie 10 and then tried to update the projects and Events in the 'file' menu.

    It was unable to find four files, although they were fine in iMovie 8.

     

    I continued and then looked for the missing files.

    THe missing files were dulled and could not be loaded.

     

    iMovie it would appear can not update all iMovie 8 files!

     

    It is impossible to get the projects and files updated it seems?

    I'm sorry but I can't think of any other suggestions.  the help files state that iMovie 10.1 (the most up to date help file) can update iMovie 7, 8 and 9 projects and events:  Update projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014) - Apple Support

    What appeared in iMovie 10 after you tried to update?  I assume that he two clips were imported - and the project?

    The above two screen shots show what happened.

     

    In the project there was no movie and when I tried to load the file the files I was told that were missing were darkened and could not be loaded.  The files could not have been damaged because they play in iMovie 8 without the still pictures!  The missing clips could not be imported.  I am afraid that I have given up!  Beaten by Apple software writers!
