Version 10.1.13 beaks compatibility with AVCHD files, despite this type being on the approved formats list. Opening a library created in earlier versions of 10.1.X converts the library to a new 10.1.13 format. This converted Library will no longer open in earlier 10.1.X versions. The user is not alerted to this change. Do not upgrade to 10.1.13.

Imovie 10.1.6 Made For What Macos Free
Did Apple hire someone from Microsoft to design this software? To say that it blows chunks is an understatement. Immediately download the free iMovieHD from apple.com and install it thereby restoring functionality. It will still leave the iMovie'08 app on your drive (and you need it to remain there in case you need to re-install iMovieHD which looks for the presence of the '08 version else it won't install).
Downside: iMovieHD doesn't do mp4's natively and will convert them to DV streams upon import.

This program has to be my favourite video editing and compiling program. It may not have the best features sometimes, but if you are a bit creative with making movies, this program can do virtually anything.
The only possible down side is the file size of the iMovie project files. for a 2-minute movie the project file was around 2GB. Other than that, iMovie is great! The other down side is that there is no version for Windows. If they ever made one, I would buy it in an instant.

I *love* iMovie. (I also use Pinnacle 9 for the PC at work, and i have grown to detest Pinnacle). iMovie is intuitive, it works wonderfully with iDVD, iPhoto and iTunes. It's just amazing compared to having to struggle with iDVD. The most recent upgrade to iMovie that i got with my new iMac (purchased July 06) significantly improved on the few faults that my previous version had. I can now easily work on several iMovie projects at once, there are new effects (which i don't use many of, as i like the videos to have a simpler look), and some very nice new stuff in iDVD. I don't know about other PC video software, but run run run away from Pinnacle.

FonePaw - Solution - Eraser - iMovie Not Enough Disk Space
'When trying to import a movie file into iMovie, I got the message: 'There is not enough disk space available at the selected destination. Please choose another one or clear some space.' I deleted some clips to free up space, but no significate increase in my free space after the deletion. How to clear the iMovie library to get more space for my new project? I'm using iMovie 11 on a MacBook Pro on Mojave 12.14.'
Not enough disk space in iMovie makes it impossible for you to import video clips or start a new project. And some users found it difficult to clear disk space on iMovie since iMovie library still took up a huge amount of disk space after removing some useless projects and events. How to effectively clear disk space on iMovie to reclaim the space taken up by iMovie? Try the tips below.
Clear iMovie Caches and More
If you want to have deleted all iMovie projects and events that you don't need and iMovie still takes up lots of space, you may use FonePaw MacMaster to delete iMovies caches and more. FonePaw MacMaster can free up Mac space by deleting system caches, logs, large videos files, duplicated files and more.
Step 1 Open MacMaster.
Step 2 Click Junk Files > Scan. And clean all iMovie junk files.
Step 3 You can also click large & old files to remove iMovie files that you don't need, delete duplicated files on Mac and more to get more free space.
Delete Projects and Events from iMovie Library
If on the iMovie library, you have projects and events that you no longer need to edit, you may delete these unwanted projects and events to release disk space.
To delete an event from iMovie Library: select the unwanted events, click Move Event to the Trash.
Note that deleting clips of an event just remove the clips from the event while the clips are still using your disk space. To free up storage space, delete the entire events.
To delete a project from iMovie Library: select the unwanted project, click Move to Trash.
Note that when you delete a project, the media files used by the project isn't actually deleted. Instead, the media files are saved in a new event with the same name as the project. To get free space, click the All Events and delete the event that has the media files.
After deleting the events and projects that you don't need, quit and restart iMovie to see if you can import new videos without the 'not enough disk space' message.
To start using the scanner: If you are 10.10 or earlier, you can open Neat and connect your scanner and you should now be able to start scanning. If you are on 10.11 El Capitan, follow the steps below: Right click (or CTRL + click) the Scanner Driver file that you dragged into the Devices folder and choose Open.

Can I delete the entire iMovie Library?
If an iMovie Library is taking lots of space, say 100GB, can you delete the entire iMovie library to clear disk space? Yes. If you have exported the final movie to somewhere else and don't need the media files for further editing, you can delete the library. Deleting an iMovie library will delete all projects and media files in it.
Remove Render Files of iMovie
If after deleting unneeded projects and events, iMovie still takes up lots of disk space, you can further clear disk space on iMovie by deleting render files of iMovie.
If you cannot delete Render files in Preference, you are using an older version of iMovie and have to delete render files in this way: Open iMovie Library: Open Finder > Go to folder > go to ~/Movies/. Right click on iMovie Library and choose Show Package Contents. Find the Render Files folder and delete the folder.
Clear iMovie Library Files![]()
If there is still not enough space for iMovie or iMovie still takes up way too much disk space, there is one more step you can do to clear iMovie library.
Step 1 Keep your iMovie closed. Open Finder > Movies (If Movies can't be found, click Go > Go to Folder > ~/movies/ to get to the Movies folder).
Step 2 Right click on iMovie Library and choose Show Package Contents, where there are folders for each of your projects.
Step 3 Delete the folders of the projects that you don't need.
Step 4 Open iMovie. You may get the message that asks you to repair the iMovie Library. Click Repair.
After repairing, all the projects you deleted are gone and the space taken by iMovie is shrunk.
Remove Old Libraries after iMovie 10.0 Update
After updating to iMovie 10.0, the libraries of the previous version still remain on your Mac. You can delete the projects and events of the previous version of iMovie to clear disk space.
Step 1 Open Finder > Movies. (If Movies can't be found, click Go > Go to Folder > ~/movies/ to get to the Movies folder).
Step 2 Drag two folders - 'iMovie Events' and 'iMovie Projects', which contains the projects and events of the previous iMovie, to the Trash.
Step 3 Empty the Trash.
Imovie 10.1.6 Made For What Macos XMove iMovie Library to An External Drive
In fact, iMovie is a space hogger. To edit a movie, iMovie transcodes the clips into a format that is suitable for editing but is extraordinarily large in size. Also, files such as render files are created during the editing. That's why iMovie usually takes up a few or even more than 100GB of space.
If you have limited free disk storage space on your Mac, it is a good idea to get an external drive that is a least 500GB to store your iMovie library. To move iMovie library to an external hard drive.
