OMG iMovie
ok, so I have a 30 min school project movie and I made some changes after burning a disk and I upon opening it it said that the project was "unreadable" what happened and what can I do to get my hours of work back for my final project??
edit: please help, the folder for my movie is still in the movies folder of my home menu. the iMovie file is still there but fails to open. the quicktime movie is corrupt and can't be read. there is still the media folder and the audiowaveforms folder. running iMovie 4 with 10.3.9

Ok, that's good to hear. I know that if you fill up your drive you can get all sorts of random issues with preferences and saved files getting corrupted. But it doesn't sound like that's your problem.

yes, it does. i have access to all the clips. any ideas about what caused it? cause i've spent the hours fixing it and it's over with but I now want to be sure I don't do it again
